The new mother, named Anna Young, uploaded on Sunday a picture of herself on the Facebook page Occupy Breastfeeding. In the image, Young is seen clad in her sports gear and using a pumping machine. She is currently five months postpartum. She nursed her baby girl at 4:30 in the morning and then left. The race started fifteen minutes before 7:00 am. After reaching the first eight miles she decided to pump, and immediately nursed her daughter again when she finished the half-marathon.
“Yesterday I ran a half marathon at five months postpartum. I had to leave at 4:30am and the race started at 6:45am. I nursed my daughter before I left my house, pumped after running the first 8 miles and nursed her after I made it past the finish line. This group and Le leche league motivated me to find a way to run my race and take care of my daughter,” said Ana Young on Facebook. Image credit: Facebook/Ana Young.
‘Posting this photo was an attempt to thank the breastfeeding community’
So far, her picture has received almost eight thousand likes, and most of the comments are very supportive. Young ran competitively during her high school and college years and decided that becoming a mother would not stop her from doing what she loves.
Instead, she signed up for the marathon to oblige herself to run more, and trained while pushing her baby in her stroller. Originally, Young had planned to stop for a bit and pump on the sidelines.
She did not know there was a photographer present and much less that her picture had been taken. Also, she has stated that nobody noted was she was doing, but a woman who cheered her as she passed by.
Young was surprised when she found herself later that day in the picture that was published alongside her race results.
She then decided to share it to support all those moms who are currently breastfeeding, and to honor all the breastfeeding communities that helped her when her daughter was born, especially Occupy Breastfeeding and La Leche League.
“Posting this photo was an attempt to thank the breastfeeding community and make an effort to help normalize it. Even though I was nervous about pumping during my race, I hope it helps other mothers not to be afraid to nurse their children in public. I want other moms to see that you can still take the time to do the active things you love and nurture your baby. Breastfeeding and Motherhood do not limit what I am capable of; it only enhances it” declared an ecstatic Young to the Huffington Post.
Breastfeeding reduces the risk of getting the flu, pneumonia, diarrhea, developing celiac disease, Crohn’s disease and type I diabetes. Breast milk also reduces the mother’s risk of developing obesity and postmenopausal osteoporosis, as it burns approximately 400 calories per day.
Breastfeeding also releases oxytocin, which helps the mother’s uterus contract, lessening the blood loss that frequently occurs after delivery. It also helps the uterus “shrink” to its pre-baby size.

dicks are genitals. comparable to a vagina if someone was playing with thier vagina you might have a point. . your schitck is not only sexist its dumb as hell babies eat by sucking on tits. you ever let a baby do that to your dick youll find yourself in a jailhouse quicker than you can say “ifuckedup”

It’s not like her kid was starving. She could have done this before or after the race. It’s just a cry for attention – probably related to postpartum depression or other mental issues – hopefully she gets a grip on it before it has negative effects on her kid.

yada yada yada, its still not the same as whipping out your dick in public.
and the rest of what you said is just presumptuous worthless statement based on nothing but opinion.. shes well enough to run a marathon and pump milk she seem cheerful as hell and isnt fucking with or talking down about others. so shes good in my book. im more concerned about the mental state of people who are bothered/obsessed by the fact that she can pump breast milk and run at the same time?u jelly? i bet you could even run a a marathon in peak shape. let alone why pumping milk/
if you think that shes just doing it for attention why are you giving her so much of it. logic. your statements make none. you seem like a bitter tool. im sorry.

Every once in a while one of these stories hits the news. I think last was on a plane. Chicks with class say she could do this before or after the event (last was a 3-hr plane trip). Next we’ll see some loose brained ditz running while breast feeding.

I have been experiencing dizziness after a month of using Rogaine (minoxidil) 5%. I woke up a few times from it and felt my heartbeat racing for a few seconds. Anyone know about this type of side effect? Should i discontinue use?
This hair loss question was answered on our hair restoration forum by Dr. Paul Shapiro of Bloomington, MN who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. His professional answer is below.
If you are having dizziness and heart palpitations on Rogaine, I would advise you to stop it right away.
Minoxidil is a vasodilator which means it relaxes the veins and arteries in the body. It was first used as an oral medication to lower blood pressure. The fact that minoxidil stimulates hair growth was an accidental finding. In fact, it is no longer used to lower blood pressure, partly due to this side effect.
When used topically (applied directly to the balding scalp) usually the amount absorbed into the blood stream is minimal. In most hair loss sufferers, it does not cause systemic (affecting the body ) side effects.
Dizzy spells and heart palpitations are known side affect of minoxidil and you may just be extra sensitive to the medication. But there also may be a medical reason why the minute amount of Rogaine absorbed into your blood system cased palpitations. I would see your primary care physician and/or a cardiologist to do some simple testing to evaluate your heart. Another possibility is that you have a skin condition on your scalp which allows more of the hair loss treatment to be absorbed into your body, (i.e. bad psoriasis) but I think you would know of such a condition.
I hope this is helpful.

Side effects generally go away after a few days

I applied minoxidil 5 % on my face for 3 days straight (just 0.5 ml). But have been dizzy and lightheaded from day 4. I discontinued immediately. But now after 10 days of stopping, I’m still dizzy and lightheaded for most of the day. Can someone tell me how long it takes for the side effects to go away? My BP was slightly low after stopping, but its normal now.
Your inputs is highly appreciated!

Hi all,
I just used topical Minoxidil for 3 days and started feeling lightheaded and dizzy from the fourth morning. I discontinued use immediately, but after 6 days I’m still feeling lightheaded and dizzy. Can someone tell me how long this will last?

I am relieved to know what has probably been causing my scary symptoms! I am a 42 year old female and one day, after a few months of intermittent use of Minoxidil, I fainted. I recovered immediately but my heart was pounding and I was very dizzy so I called my nurse line. She told me to come in and I almost fainted again while on the phone with her. I had my husband come home from work so he could drive me to urgent care and in the car I started to get mild chest pain with a heavy feeling in my chest. I was so scared!
Well they did all the tests on me and said I was healthy and my heart and lungs were fine. Well it didn’t go away. For the next week I continued to have dizzy spells and sudden pounding heart beats which would send me into panic attacks. I went to my doctor who said I had anxiety and panic attacks and prescribed me Zoloft. Over the next 2-3 weeks my symptoms slowly started to get better. Then last night I used Minoxidil again for the first time and I woke up with a dizzy spell! I got heart palpitations and rapid heart beat this morning and of course started to freak out. What the hell is this!!!???
So I went through my food and drugs to see what I did new recently. I remembered the Minoxidil and checked the side effects. What a relief to find that every side effect listed is what I have! I can now be at ease to know this isn’t my heart, brain or lungs or arteries etc. Now to wait another three weeks for this feeling to go away.
I’M NEVER USING THIS PRODUCT AGAIN!

I used Rogaine foam on scalp for 2 weeks. I get nausea, dizzy and fainted at work. I also think my heart beats fast. Also, Rogaine causes anxiety. I’ve stopped for 4 days now, and I think I’m improving but my mind is still messed up.
I went to the doctor after I fainted and got all lab tests done and my health is normal. I will never use this toxic drug again. It’s very dangerous and damaging to the mind.

Hi
I started using minidoxil solution 2 months ago and started getting spells of vertigo a month ago. It started as vertigo on turning head and I am now referred to an ENT. The dizziness spells have lasted for over a month. Anyone else having same issues?

Hello Everyone.. I am living in Singapore and I started using monxidil 0.2 % last year in August 2015 and after 2 months I had vertigo Attack as I woke up in the morning. While turning towards right side I felt extreme dizziness and almost fainted . The stituation got better after 2 weeks. I informed my GP about using Regaine but he said its fine so continued Regaine Un aware after that.
But this year in April 2016 I got nausea and dizziness again one night after dinner. So I rushed to emergency. They gave me some medicine to clean my stomach and referred me to ENT.She did my hearing test and I was found to have asymmetric hearing mild hearing loss( high frequency). Doctor prescribed labryhthitis and told me to stop Regaine. She was also interested to know the side effects and searched online about it and told me that this could cause hearing loss. My vertigo is slightly getting better after 3 months but I heard it takes a Long time to get completely stable. Doc has asked me to have hearing test after 1 month again…
Anyone else had same effects ??

I was using Rogaine 5% for about a month or so and started getting dizzy spells. I was wondering would it take that long for the symptoms to occur or is it something else.

Hi Peyman,
Did your heart palpitations go away? I have used topical minoxidil (Rogaine) for less than 3 weeks and got the palpitaiond. I have stopped using it for 4 days now, and it is not much better. Just saw your post and wanting to know if yours is better and if yes how long did it take to go away?
Thanks,
Anoush

peyman,
I am not a physician and cannot speculate about how long your side effects may last after stopre.
Normally, I would recommend anyone suffering from side effects of any hair loss treatment to discontinue effect may last after stopping Rogaine (minoxidil). Generally speaking, side effects of topical minoxidil tend to me mild and quite rare.
Normally, I would recommend anyone suffering from side effects of any hair loss treatment to discontinue use and consult with a physician. It sounds as if you have already done everything right and have received a clean bill of health.
I am not aware of any permanent side effects from Rogaine. Thus, I’m sure that in time your side effects will subside.

October 19, 2014izziness, feeling like fainting, feeling like nausea, stomach bloating. I have stopped using it for 2 days.
Ioxidil is the only topical clinically proven and FDA approved for use by both males and females with hair loss. However, there are natural/herbal alternatives that you may find effective. You can find the most credible of these at our online hair loss treatments shop.

I recently purchased a cvs brand of rogain for men and experienced dizziness will the dizziness go away after continued use. If not what other hair growing products are out there for people who suffer with hair loss?

Richard,
This article was published on behalf of Dr. Shapiro but he does not receive updated comments. If you experienced dizziness from a single application of Rogaine I highly recommend consulting with your physician prior to using it again. I also suggest posing your question in a discussion thread on our Hair Restoration Forum and social network. Many of our recommended physicians participate regularly and may be able to answer your question regarding ibuprofen.

Hi Doctor,
I applied 1ml Minoxidil 5% solution to my head and found that I suffered dizzyness/light headed sensation only, no heart issues.
I had taken ibuprofen that day also (which i think also lowers blood pressure) – could that have caused it? I am worried I may be causing harm to myself if I use Minoxidil again. I was thinking of trying a half ml topical application with no other drugs being used to see?
Thanks,
Richard

David,
The dizziness you’re experiencing should go away upon stopping Rogaine and I don’t believe it would have any permanent affect on your hearing. However, be sure to speak with your physician about your concerns and I’m sure he/she will help to alleviate them.

Hi, Doctor,
I did not notice my dizzness until I had a bad fall and injuried many parts of my body. My question is if the dizzness will go away if I stop using Rogaine or Rogaine does have a permanent affect on my hearing structure and i need to see my physician to treat it. How does Regaine cause the dizziness?
Thanks.
David Jiang

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued its annual Internet Crime Report, showing cybercriminals have netted at least $1.3 billion last year. The figures for the report were compiled by the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3 is it is also known. Those losses came from 298,728 complaints that had been filed with IC3 in 2016.
The Internet Crime Report provides some insight into the main methods used by cybercriminals to fraudulently obtain money. Last year, the three crime types that resulted in the biggest losses were Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, romance/confidence fraud and non-payment/non-delivery scams.
BEC scams resulted in losses of $360.5 million last year and the scams are becoming increasingly common. Confidence and romance fraud was second, resulting in losses of $219.8 million with corporate data breaches in third place causing losses of $95.9 million. Phishing, via the web, email, SMS messages and telephone resulted in losses of $31.7 million. Losses from extortion were $15.8 million with ransomware tracked separately and causing losses of $2.4 million. Tech support fraud netted cybercriminals $7.8 million with malware and scareware losses tracked as $3.9 million.
The FBI singled out four key criminal activities in its 2016 Internet Crime Report that have become major issues in 2016: BEC, ransomware, tech support fraud and extortion.
BEC scams involve the impersonation of foreign suppliers and other vendors that are usually paid by wire transfer. A similar type of scam, referred to as email account compromise (EAC), targets individuals in a company responsible for making wire transfers.
Both scams involve the impersonation of company executives with fraudulent wire transfer requests sent to accounts department employees. Since it is the CEO that is often impersonated the scams are commonly referred to as CEO fraud. Transfers are commonly for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. In some cases, companies have been conned out of millions. BEC scams topped the list of losses.
BEC scams have also been rife in 2017, with the start of the year seeing an increase in BEC scams with the aim of obtaining the tax information of employees, typically W-2 forms. In 2016, there were 12,005 reported BEC scams, although this is likely just a small percentage of the real total.
Ransomware has become a major threat for businesses with criminals targeting employees using phishing emails. The FBI says Remote Desktop Protocol was also a major attack vector in 2016. The FBI suggests that security awareness training for employees is now a critical preventative measure that should be provided by all organizations. In 2016, there were 2,673 reported ransomware incidents. Similarly, many businesses choose not to report ransomware attacks.
Another major threat comes from tech support scams where criminals impersonate security companies. The attackers claim an urgent security issue must be resolved for which payment is required. These scams can involve screen-locking malware, cold calls or pop up messages. Typosquatting is also commonly used. Criminals register URLs similar to major online brands to take advantage of careless typists.
Extortion continues to be a major problem and it takes many forms. There have been numerous cases of criminals impersonating government agencies, with threats of Denial of Service attacks similarly common. Hackers have been stealing data and demanding ransoms for its return, while sextortion, hitman schemes and loan schemes are also rife.
While the Internet Crime Report provides an indication of how rampant cybercrime has become, the reports hugely underestimate the true extent of the problem. Only a small percentage of victims of cybercrime report the incident to law enforcement. The Department of Justice estimates only 15% of Internet crime is reported, while the FBI suggests only one in seven cases of Internet crime are actually reported. It is not only individuals that fail to report crimes. Many businesses that experience cyberattacks or other Internet crime-related losses fail to report the incidents. The true figures from cybercrime are likely to be several orders of magnitude worse than the Internet Crime Report suggests.

Hey! Well this feels strange. Long time no see, The last time I blogged was May 2014! As some of you may know I had major laptop issues which I thought I had sold with treating myself to an iPad. Little did I know that blogging on an iPad wasn't the easiest thing along with a demanding full time job, I just thought it was best to leave it until I could properly sort it all out rather than post just alright posts with hardly any pictures.
So here I am! I decided to treat myself to a new laptop on Boxing Day. It was a total spur of the moment buy and didn't expect to buy it but it was one of those (dare I say it) YOLO moments! I just cringed writing that ha! So how have I been?
I had an ok Christmas. I was ill and had to work up to Christmas Eve. We actually had our Christmas Day on Christmas Eve as my mum was working on Christmas Day. Because I was ill I didn't enjoy Christmas dinner at all and spent most of actual Christmas Day sleeping. Luckily because my sister was away in America working on the Disney Cruise we had a 2nd Christmas when she returned, this time I was fit and ready to devour my Christmas dinner.
New Years was also a bit of a dud, I worked both NYE & NYD. I tried to stay up til midnight but flaked at bout 11.30! But I did have to be up at 3.30am to go to work so I do believe that's justified!
Besides that I've just been working really, Christmas was manic for us and I'm kinda glad its over now! I feel I can relax and obviously have more time to blog!
I just want to say thank you to anyone that has stayed with me, I totally understand if anyone did decide to give up on me I mean I probably would of. But look forward to plenty of new things on my blog, including my next post which will be what my sister brought back from America for me!
Thanks Again!

Whether they are show horses, or endurance horses and even horses used for camping, all are subject to added stressors.
With the show season in full swing it’s a good time to stop and take a look at how stressors may affect competitive horses.
Horses are very emotional creatures who are adversely affected by stress.
Understanding this is imperative to having a healthy and happy competitive equine. How individual horses respond to potentially stressful situations differs, but many health ailments are originated from stress of one kind or another.
Stress can be defined as a general term which describes the combination of psychological and biological responses of an animal during real or perceived threatening circumstances. While the physiological response to stress is a highly complex subject, and certainly is not completely understood, scientists agree that there are two types of stressors.
Physical stressors are things such as injury, over-exertion or a change in the environment. Psychological stressors typically include situations that make the animal anxious or fearful. Uncertainty and fear of the unknown can be categorized as two of the major psychological stressors. Competing horses, and even horses who travel for seemingly leisurely activities such as camping, are exposed to both physical and psychological stressors.
The primary concerns with stress are the effects on the endocrine system.

What if USEF bans Medroxy for Geldings and Stallions…?
What would happen in the show rings across the country if all the horses currently using Medroxy (MPA) were suddenly pulled off of it…?
This could cause many show ring nightmares for the horses pulled off of their MPA, but as well, miss-behaving horses can often upset the entire show.
Following the 2017 USEF Annual Meeting in January, USEF President Murray Kessler created a panel to investigate, analyze, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the use of MPA. The panel recommended that beginning September 1, 2017, the USEF would require medication report forms to be filed for horses treated with MPA if the horse had received treatment within three months of the competition start date.
This usage data along with additional proprietary research will be assessed once available and further recommendations, if indicated, will be made at that time.
In March 2017, the USEF conducted a public workshop to address concerns that have been voiced regarding the efficacy, safety, and use of MPA in competition horses. Then in June 2017, USEF hosted a joint Town Hall with the United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) at the Upperville Colt and Horse Show.
The next USEF committee meeting is January 2018 and the usage of MPA is a main topic on the schedule.

Hong Kong 2013 | What to Buy in Disneyland + My Shopping Haul + {Giveaway}
We're back from our early Christmas family getaway to Hong Kong Disneyland {HKDL}!! It was truly a wonderful trip and we got to experience the whole magical journey from staying at Disneyland Hollywood Hotel, to eating breakfast with the Disney Stars at Enchanted Garden, exploring the new theme lands {Mystic Point, Toy Storyland & Grizzly Gulch} and also having Lil Pumpkin transformed into one of the Disney Princesses at Bibidi Bobidi Boutique!
As usual, I'll need some time to sort through all the photos and information but first, I'd like to share some of the souvenirs that we brought back in case you want to head to HKDL for Christmas and grab some gifts :)
Got some good feedback from my Northern Territory shopping haul vlog so thought I'd do this again. Please excuse my amateur skills at vlogging :P All done in one take with no script heh. In addition to the items shown below, have a look at the vlog to get some ideas on gifts you can bring back home for your family and friends. Plus, you'll see the actual exclusive HKDL merchandise that I'll be giving away on the blog {more details below}!! If the video isn't working, see it on Youtube here.
As mentioned in the video, HKDL is celebrating their 8th Anniversary this year and there's a whole range of limited edition merchandise to celebrate their special occasion. Eight is a lucky number to the Chinese people as it means prosperity and wealth. HKDL hopes that this range will bring luck, joy and treasured memories to all of their guests who have the chance to visit Hong Kong Disneyland this year.
Love love love the home-ware range! I bought the cookie cutters from our last visit to Hong Kong.
You can never have too many tumblers for the kids.. Lil Pumpkin usually changes hers after about a year of use as it gets broken, too dirty or.. lost *sigh*
Cookies are always a popular choice for souvenirs. Heaps of tin cans and cookie designs of your favourite Disney characters to choose from! This is a Disney Princess special cookie tin to look like a little clutch bag with a "pearls" strap.
For all you craft-loving people, there are unique wooden stamps for sale. I didn't spot any washi tapes at HKDL though.
Super cute caps and Mickey / Minnie ears!! Definitely a must-buy to wear at the Disneyland theme parks!
Since it's their Christmas holiday season, you can get scarfs and winter wear too :)
Anyway, stay tuned for my upcoming travel posts for more details on the must-sees and must-dos in Hong Kong Disneyland!
I've brought Hong Kong Disneyland's magic back with me for my readers and friends and will give away THREE HKDL Exclusive Goodie Bags {worth over S$90 each}!

I love Christmas because of the giving to others and seeing them smile. It's not the getting or the giving; it's the loving. It was the day Christ was born. People should keep the Christmas spirit throughout the whole year. More people should understand it is better to give than to receive!

And it's a celebration of a year's hardwork, victory or sorrows we been through.
Everyone is enjoying each others company in the midst of the feast.

The joyous season of giving and receiving is what I love about Christmas. Being able to see smiles on your loved ones' faces, would be something worth spending on when they are unwrapping their gifts by you. The treasured moment when you forget all worries and spend a joyful day together with your loved ones. That's what Christmas meant to me and what I loved about it.

How do you define a good friend? Is it someone who you can turn to for support at your lowest moment? Someone who knows all your secrets and keeps them locked away? Someone who checks in on your well being? Someone who makes you feel comfortable being yourself? A great shopping and wine buddy? How we define a great friendship is unique to each of us but I do believe there are important components to having a rich friendship, one that adds to your well being more than it depletes you.
I came across a post today on Instagram by Alex Elle where she wrote about quality friendships, which inspired this particular blog piece. I wouldn’t say I’m a social butterfly but I will say I have a lot of close friends in my circle. I have friends who I’ve known for as long as 10 years to as little as 3. I have close friends that live up the street and I have close friends a plane ride away. I used to think that the length of time of the friendship was what made it a valuable friendship. However, as we get older, we go through life experiences that test our friendships.
Take a moment to evaluate the friendships you have and the people in your circle that are a reflection of you. Do you feel supported? Do you feel encouraged? Do you feel like you could pick up the phone to call them in an emergency and they would do everything in their power to help you through? On the other hand. Do you find yourself stressed after interacting with them? Do you only hear from them when it’s time to “turn up?” Do they mostly call you with the expectancy to be their therapist when they need advice for their own problems and can only offer “that’s crazy” when you discuss your problems? (I plan to write a post at a later date about setting boundaries in friendships.). Yes we go through tough times with our friends, however, a quality friendship should not add more stress than wellness to your life. A quality friendship should be based off of mutual respect, reciprocity, support, and genuine love.
I’m not a big fan of confrontation so whenever I would have an issue in a friendship I would avoid bringing it up so as to not ruffle any feathers that could cause the friendship to end. It was a hard lesson to learn that my approach was not the most affective way to handle these issues. This method of avoidance brings about resentment in your friendship which is not in any way healthy and hinders the friendship from further growing. I learned that my friends, the true ones, still stuck around whenever I decided to speak up on something that bothered me about our dynamic. Don’t be afraid to tell your friends what you need from the friendship. I’m a firm believer that a friendship is just like a relationship with an intimate partner. If they truly value your well being they will be open to hearing how they can support your needs.
I would say in my adulthood I’ve had to separate myself from a few close friends, now more than ever. Ones I had known since middle school. Others, I’d known just a short time. I’m sure others may judge me as quick to “cut someone off.” I like to think of it as being self aware of my needs and valuing my peace. I think of it as being quick to be able to assess and identify when someone is causing me more distress than peace. Someone you meet today can bring you more peace than someone you’ve known since kindergarten. In the words of Ms. Elle “I am allowed to leave people, places, and thins behind that are u healthy, toxic, and distracting to my growth.”
Have you had a friend in mind while reading this post? Have a chat with them. Address how you feel your needs aren’t being met and supported throughout the friendship. It’s ok to set expectations in a friendship and a relationship. Concerned about a friend who you haven’t interacted with recently? Check on them. A simple “how are you?” text can go along way. Trust me, I received a few of these during these past couple weeks and they made me more grateful for my friends because, although I hadn’t spoken up about it, I was experiencing major hurdles in my life.
Are you that friend who takes more than you give? Consider how you can be a blessing to your friends instead of a burden. Do a temperature check. Ask your friends if there’s any way you can support them with anything today, this week, this year?
I’m not encouraging you to “cut off” the friends that don’t meet the positive traits mentioned above. I’m challenging you to evaluate the quality of your friendships and encouraging you to express your needs to the people who you call your close friends. Also, if you’re that needy, possibly toxic, or “good time” friend (only around for the fun times,) I encourage you to explore ways in which you can be of support to those whom you truly value. I hope this post finds you well.

I absolutely love this piece Folly definitely speaks to me, given that i have been in the military almost 4 years and away from my home (closer to you) the true meaning and value of friendship has been something i have been more conscious off. I guess going away has shown me people true colors, true motives and their value of our friendship, i have gotten to observe people the ones who check on me, call me, think about me even if i am not up the road. Friendships are absolutely similar to an intimate relationship they require patience, love, attention, forgiveness and even though love and most importantly two people who care and will work toward the friendship. I am grateful for my close and true friendships in my life, and i hope i have been a good friend and even family member to many in my life. I am thankful the 11+ years of our amazing friendship, and i look forward to a lifetime of great talks, advice, love,laughs and much more.

This post makes me think about one of my favorite poems…..it’s so funny, bc all these years and I still remember it word for word…
Friendship is a priceless gift
That can’t be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless,
It cannot see nor hear,
And in your times of touble,
It is powerless to cheer.
It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand.
So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful that he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,
But the love of a real, true friend.

My favorite phrase was “that’s crazy.” We all have that friend or friends who feel they are the only ones going through problems. As women, we all need to look back and reflect on our relationships and be active listeners to our girlfriends.
Good read!

I am constantly organizing “stuff”. Lately it’s been more about virtual stuff than physical. Can’t force the body to do what it can’t do. But I can still organize my computer and what I put on it.
My computer loves to fill up with files and pictures and artwork and programs and writing and e-books and audiobooks and so many things. After awhile I get an urge to organize. Not that it isn’t organized, I keep things pretty much where I want them. But I like to re-organize, or find new things to organize.
I love getting a new computer to start fresh and clean, slowly adding what I want, where I want it. I keep everything backed up, of course, but how nice is it to open my audiobook program and find it empty, waiting for the first book to listen to. Sure, I may have to re-download it from the “cloud” but that’s okay. Programs to install? Sure, but this time only the ones I’m going to use. Or so it goes.
In between computers, if too much time passes, I will do a full reformat, deleting everything and starting fresh. I wonder what that says about me?
When I discovered Word Press, it was inevitable that my love of organizing would take over. I couldn’t have just one blog, no, I had to have several – why? So I could organize them, of course, make each one unique. But in all that organizing, I forgot one important thing – I needed a blog to just sit back with, one I could just relax in, put up my feet, and be me.
So here it is, here I am. I’ve gotten my artistic side, my writer side, and my dream side covered. One more to take care of and the wheel will be complete.
This is the hub, the core, the blog behind the other blogs.

Good luck getting organized. When you have an artistic side, it is sometimes hard to keep things straight, I find. You can’t create and clean at the same time. LOL. I tend to make my mess and clean up later, only to repeat steps 1 & 2 over and over again. Usually, I can find what I need when I need it.

Recently I had the opportunity to meet this beautiful three week old baby girl in her home with her mom and dad while big brother was away at preschool. When I arrived she was sleeping soundly in her swing, but once we moved her, she wasn’t wanting to close her eyes and miss a thing. She finally snoozed a bit and we were able to get some sweet shots, both indoors and out (the beauty of hot Utah Septembers!). I loved her little silver bracelet, so delicate and sweet. Here are a few of my favorites from the session…

Almost all states in the US mandate reflective markings on school buses. Unlike DOT trucks, regulations concerning school buses fall to the individual states with the federal government providing guidance. Regulations concerning reflective tape are normally found within the regulations of the state that deal with the rest of the bus as well. (ie exits, seats, seatbelts, fire extinguishers, etc.)FMVSS 131 & FMVSS 217
School Bus Regulation:
Each opening for a required emergency exit shall be outlined around its outside perimeter with a retroreflective tape with a minimum width of 2.5 centimeters and either red, white, or yellow in color, that when tested under the conditions specified in S6.1 of Standard No. 131 (49 CFR 571.131), meets the criteria specified.
1″ reflective yellow strip used to mark side emergency exit windows
1″ reflective yellow strip used to mark back emergency exit windows
Private buses fall under DOT C2 regulations because of their size and weight, however, they are not as regulated as school buses. The same type of reflective tape application is highly recommended especially if the bus transports children.
Excerpt from Florida’s School Bus Regulations – There must be installed a reflective marking package as specified in the National School Transportation Specifications and Procedures, Revised 2010. Striping must be installed longitudinally the length of the body at the vertical location immediately below the seat level rub rails but high enough so as to clear wheel wells, whenever possible. Short breaks in the striping at rivet locations are acceptable. Reflective markings are also required for all emergency exits.

DOT & School Bus Tape Regulations
DOT C2 Regulation for Semi Trucks and Large Vehicles

Marking DOT-Regulated Trucks and Trailers – Trucks that exceed 10,000 pounds and that are over 80 inches wide must mark their trailers with 2″ wide DOT C2 reflective tape that alternates white and red.. A 6/6 (6″ red and 6″ white) or a 7/11 (7″ whed in the lower rear and an inverted L using solid white must mark the top corners of the trailer. This outlines the back of the rig.
(This is a synopisis of the Federal regulation regarding DOT regulated truck marking. For a word for word copy of the law you can refer to the actual FMCSA document) In summary, to help reduce the incidence of motorists crashing into the rear or sides of tractor-trailers at nighttime and under other conditions of reduced visibility, the FMCSA has set up regulations requiring the use of conspicuity (reflective tape) materials on trailers and the rear of truck tractors. Accidents are reduced by over 40% when these markings are present.
In 1992, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA published a final ruling requiring that trailers manufactured on or after December 1, 1993, which have an overall width of 80 inches or more and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 10,000 pounds, (except for pole trailers and trailers designed only for living or office use) be marked on the sides and rear with a means for making them more visible on the road. The NHTSA ruling allows trailer manufacturers to install either red and white retro reflective tape or sheeting or reflex reflectors. This tape is commonly referred to as “DOT C2 reflective tape” which is marked for easy identification.
Locations for Conspicuity Treatment
The following paragraphs describe where the conspicuity treatments need to be located on trailers. An image is provided at the bottom of this page.
Trailer Sides
2″ wide red and white (silver) DOT C2 retro reflective sheeting must be applied to both sides of the trailer or semitrailer. Each strip of retroreflective sheeting has to be positioned as horizontally as practical, beginning and ending as close to the front and rear as practical. Conspicuity treatment is not required to be continuous, however, the sum of the length of all of the segments must be at least half of the length of the trailer and the spaces between the segments of the strip must be distributed as evenly as possible. The centerline for each strip of retroreflective sheeting (or reflex reflector) must be between 15 inches and 60 inches above the road surface when measured with the trailer empty or unladen, or as close as practical to this area. If necessary to clear rivet heads or other similar obstructions, 50 mm (2 inches) wide retroreflective sheeting may be separated into two 25 mm (1 inch) wide strips of the same length and color, separated by a space of not more than 25 mm (1 inch).
Lower rear area of the Trailer
The rear of each trailer and semitrailer must be equipped with retro reflective sheeting (or reflex reflectors). Each strip of retro-reflective sheeting (or reflex reflector) must be positioned as horizontally as possible, extending across the full width of the trailer, beginning and eting (or each reflex reflector) must be between 375 mm (15 inches) and 1,525 mm (60 inches) above the road surface when measured with the trailer empty or unladen, or as close as practical to this area.
Upper rear area of the Trailer
Two sets of white strips of retro reflective sheeting (or reflex reflectors), each pair consisting of strips 12 inches long, must be positioned as an inverted L on the right and left upper corners of the rear of the body of each trailer and semitrailer, as close as possible to the top of the trailer and as far apart as practicable. If the perimeter of the body, as viewed from the rear, is not square or rectangular, the conspicuity treatments may be applied along the perimeter, as close as practicable to the uppermost and outermost areas of the rear of the body on the left and right sides.

Rear of Truck
1997, be equipped with red-and-white retroreflective material similar to that required on the rear of the trailers they tow to increase nighttime conspicuity. Manufacturers may choose either retroreflective sheeting or reflex reflectors. In the case of truck tractors delivered with a temporary mudflap arrangement rather than permanent equipment, the requirement for retroreflective material near the top of the mudflap may be satisfied with material carried by the temporary mudflap brackets that are transferable to the permanent mudflap system. Retroreflective material is also required near the top of the cab in a pattern similar to that used on trailers.

Even as simple and easy as it seems to be, cutting your lawn correctly is actually one of the main lawn care jobs that most people either do wrong or overlook.
It takes a little more care and attention than most people realise, which is most probably why they aren’t achieving the results they want.
In light of this, I’m going to share a few basic mowing tips that will help you get your lawn looking at its best.
Tips to cutting your lawn
1. Do not cut your lawn too short
Without knowing, the majority of homeowners make the same mistake by cutting their lawn too short. Your lawn should be cut around 30 to 40 mm to ensure the grass roots grow deeper (normally the roots grow three times as deep as the lawn is mowed at – this is not known by many). Cutting your lawn taller will reward you with a much greener, darker and healthier lawn in comparison to cutting it too short.
In addition, having longer blades of grass will ensure your lawn is less prone to damage from drought, and you will need to water less frequently. Longer lawns also means a reduction of weeds and bare patches.
If you take a grass sample from grass mowed at longer length, you will immediately see that the roots are much deeper, more developed and healthier compared to grass mowed much shorter.
You might have heard about the 1/3 rule, meaning that you should only cut 1/3 of the total length of the blade, for healthy and green lawn.
How do I know what height my mower is set to?
Using a tape measure, you will need to measure from the ground to the bottom of your mower’s deck, then from this point up to the blade; this equals the total height your mower will cut your lawn at. Some manufacturers indicate in their user manual how the cutting height number on the lawn mower (i.e. 1-5) relates to the height at which the mower is actually cutting.
Hopefully, now you are fully on-board that your lawn should be mowed at a higher setting, but for sure you will have lots of other question, so let me carry on…
2. Choose the right mower for your lawn
When choosing a lawn mower, there are so many considerations to take into account. No doubt for most this can be a daunting task.
There are many different options available from a manual push mower to a self-propelled cordless lawn mower. Many lawn mowers have different features and functions, some are designed for larger lawn and some for much smaller gardens. To help you choose, I have written the following guide that will explain the different options available, and how to ensure you spend your hard earned cash on a lawn mower that suits you and your lawn’s needs – Lawn Mowers: A Helpful Illustrated Guide to Buying a Lawn Mower.
If you have read my Guide and now have decided what type of mower is the best option for you, I have included below my best selection in each category –
Push mowers
Electric mowers
Electric hover mowers
Cordless mowers
Petrol mowers
Robotic mowers
Ride-on mowers
You should also consider if striping the lawn or mulching is important to you (recently becoming very popular in the UK), as you would want to purchase a mower with this functionality. For benefits to mulching see my link below –
The Benefits of Mulching Lawn Mowers
For convenience, below I have included the best mulching lawn mowers, each with a detailed review including pros / cons, features and suitability.

3. Choose the right grass trimmer for your lawn
The majority of mowers will not cut right to the edge, so some trimming will be required to get a clean and professional finish. Again, trimmers come in all shapes and sizes, some are electric, some petrol and some cordless, and again choosing the right trimmer will depend on the size of your lawn, your requirements and budget.
To help you choose, I have listed my top trimmers below, each with a full review including their pros and cons –

Alternatively, you could use a manual pair of shears to trim these edges if your lawn is not too large. Shears are available with long handles so that you are not having to get down on your hands and knees to finish off the lawn edges after mowing.

4. Ensure your mower blade is sharp
If the ends of your grass blades are not sharply cut, and they look more like they have been torn with white strands, this is a tell tell sign that the blade of your mower need to be sharpened or replaced.
Sharpening the blade of your mower is not difficult, it can generally be done by anyone with basic DIY skills. For more information and to see how easy it is to sharpen your blade see the video below.
Replacement blades for most mowers are inexpensive and readily available.
Don’t forget that the underneath of the mower’s deck will need to be kept clean, and whilst the blade is removed this is the ideal opportunity to get this done. Having a clean deck will ensure that the mower continues to cut effectively and helps to preserve the efficiency of the grass cutting collection. (some petrol mowers like the Hayter Harrier range are provided with an integrated Wash Port that allows your garden hose to be connected, and whilst the blade is spinning it conveniently washes the deck)
5. Mow your lawn once per week
The frequency of mowing your lawn depends on the season and weather conditions. Your lawn should not be mowed at your convenience (some homeowners like to mow their lawn every Saturday morning), it should be mowed according to its needs.
If you are preparing to do the “first cut of the year”, ensure that the lawn is cleared of any stones, sticks, rubbish, debris and has dried out from the winter rain/snow. The first cut of the year really depends on the weather and your location, but normally is carried out during the first 2 weeks in April.
In general terms, your lawn should be mowed once per week in the summer season.
Try not to mow your lawn when it is wet, as the grass clippings will not be collected as efficiently and they will clog the deck of the mower and the inlet chute, leaving clumps of wet grass on your lawn.
It is much better to mow your lawn early evening after a dry day. (will also prevent slippery ground especially on sloped lawns)
Also another point to make, that many homeowners may not be aware of, is that you should alternate the mowing direction every time you mow. If today you mow your lawn north to south, next time you should mow from west to east (this will ensure that no grass gets pushed down and missed). Always mow your lawn with a very slight overlap (the wheel mark can be used as your guide).
Now you have read my general tips for cutting your lawn, your lawn care tasks will change throughout the year based on the seasons. To help you further, I’ve divided this article into seasons to provide more accurate advice.
Spring
Since your lawn has just gone through winter, it has likely experienced some harsh weather conditions, and therefore it is likely to be pretty fragile.
This means you’re going to want to cause as little stress to it as possible, and to do this you need to make sure you DO NOT cut off anymore than 1/3 off the length of each grass blade.
Not only that but it promotes better growth because of the bigger surface area, reduces the risk of soil compaction and makes it less vulnerable to disease and pests.
So overall (not just in the spring) it’s a pretty good rule to live by.
Frequency
You’ll also want to start mowing a little and often, about once per week will be enough, for similar reasons.
Just make sure you remember to gradually build this as you make your way into summer.
Aim to keep the height of your grass the same throughout the entirety of spring, of course this will be different for everyone and depends on the condition of your lawn.
For most people this should be around 40 mm during Spring, for those with a lawn that’s been through a bit of wear and tear, keep it at around 50 mm, and for those in the shade keep it at around 60 mm.
Ideally, you’ll want to maintain the grass a little higher than these measurements so that you definitely don’t cut it too short.
This could cause a number of problems, like increasing the likelihood of weeds, moss and bare patches appearing, that I am sure you will want to avoid.
Summer
Just like in Spring, you want to abide by the 1/3 rule during Summer.
As with your mowing frequency, this really depends on the weather conditions.
Because of the warmer weather, you’d expect the grass to grow much faster than it has over the past few months, therefore you’d have to mow more often. But you could be wrong.
With warm weather often comes dry weather, which I’m sure you know, makes for poor grass growing conditions.
If this is the case then lay off the mowing to (at least) once per week, just like you were doing in Spring, and keep the grass at least 30 mm long.
But if the conditions are good for growing, i.e. a good amount of rainfall, then you can increase your frequency to twice a week – while following the same lawn height rules.
Additional Jobs
Also, if you’re planning on going away on holiday then try to cut the lawn as close as possible to your leaving date, and remember to trim the edges every now and then.
Autumn
As the growing conditions become worse as the year goes on, you’re going to have to reduce how often you mow your lawn to account for slower growing grass.
For example, if you mow on a weekly basis, once Autumn hits and you begin to see slower growth, then you could start mowing every 10 days at the beginning and work your way down from there.
The key is to do so gradually, so feel free to adapt according to your lawns needs.
The Last Two Mows
For the last two mows before the end of Autumn, you’re actually going to cut the grass a little shorter than you would normally.
Seeing as the weather is likely to go tits up during this period, you want your grass to get as much sunlight exposure as possible in order to promote stronger growth. Which is what you’ll be doing by cutting it a little shorter.
This also makes it less likely for your grass to turn brown.
Winter
Mowing during the Winter season is not normally required.
If the sun does pop out within the clouds and the temperatures reach at least 5°C then you may need to get your mower out.
But remember the grass won’t grow much and you should only mow your grass at a high setting. Do not attempt to mow the lawn if the ground conditions are frozen, soft under-foot or there has been a significant cold spell – as this will cause more damage than good.
Additional Jobs
Also you might want to trim the edges around your lawn and pathways during warmer days just to take full advantage of the good weather.
Hopefully with the tips and advice I’ve shared with you today, you’ll be able to get your lawn looking as sharp as possible.

Historically rich, ineffably beautiful, yet at times mortally dangerous, the mere mention of the Caribbean evokes images of romance and adventure.
And it is to these waters that countless soldiers of fortune and modern-day pirates have come, seeking the fabled riches beneath the restless waves-the remains of sunken ships which offer up treasures not only of gold, silver and jewels, but centuries-old artifacts, whose value is inestimable to the historian and archaeologist.
But not all those who search for treasure are interested in self-aggrandizement and personal fortunes, for there are some like the members of Mexico’s CEDAM Club, who are dedicated to serving their country and mankind, in preserving those riches found in the coastal waters of Mexico, in underground caverns, and in the interior, home of the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
With that noble purpose in view, CEDAM set out on a series of expeditions that are breathtakingly described by the president of the club, Pablo Bush Romero, in his latest book, Under the Waters of Mexico, which provides absorbing reading for scientist and layman alike.
Often risking their lives in adventures as varied as they are exciting, CEDAM’s members not only successfully explored such underwater wrecks as the fabled El Matancero and La Nicolasa, but they went in search of the tomb of the gentleman-pirate Jean Lafitte, uncovering valuable information about this legendary but shadowy figure.
Then, too, they delved into the mysterious underwater cavern of the Inlet of Xeláh, home of the last of those aquatic mammals, the manatees, discovering an ancient altar and artifacts which brought there to the realization that here was the site of a rare Mayan crematorium. And later, risking the murky and dangerous waters of the sacred well in Chichén Itzá, they salvaged a number of articles by ingeniously utilizing an underwater airlift.
All this and more-including their mission to save the life of the aged “Tatich” of the Jungle Mayas forms the colorful fabric of this rewarding and memorable book, Under the Waters of Mexico, in which romantic adventure joins forces with modern scientific techniques to effect a breakthrough in Mexican underwater archaeology.”
1st edition 1964
Copyright Pablo Bush Romero
About the Author
An account of Pablo Bush Romero’s life reads much like a Baedeker of adventure, for the author led an active and varied life dominated by his great love of the outdoors. Photographer, big game hunter, lecturer, explorer, sportsman, writer, businessman-all these apply to him, and one more: humanitarian. For Mr. Romero was a member of many civic and historical associations, and received various awards from such organizations as the Boy Scouts of America, the Tennessee Archaeological Society, and the National Geographic Society.
Born in Mexico City on October 6, 1905, he received his education there. An experienced writer, his articles have appeared in many Spanish and English magazines, and in newspapers of the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Mexico. In addition to Under the Waters of Mexico, he has also penned My Adventures with Tigers and Lions, Mexico and Africa from the Sight of My Rifle, and The Birth of Mexican Underwater Archaeology. Pablo passed away on August 11, 1998. He lived a very full and long life.
Comments by the Author’s Daughter – Laura Bush
My father had a very rich and interesting life. He enjoyed sharing his adventures with whomever would listen, and often spent hours with friends giving anecdotes of his travels and discoveries. This book is the closest to my heart because it takes place where I have been living for the past 19 years. I consider it a history of my father and what he lived through in the Yucatan. Anyone travelling today to this area would be intrigued by his stories.
I hope you enjoy this introduction and chapter. His book is out of print, but a second edition is in the works. For me, it brings back fond memories, for many who have been coming to this area for many years, it will do the same, and for those just now discovering Akumal and its surroundings, I hope that it provides a new insight into the Yucatan of yesterday!

Another month has passed and so here is the updated Arctic sea ice volume graph as calculated by the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) at the Polar Science Center:
March 2018 turned out to be quite cold, relatively speaking (more on that below). And thus, as expected, volume increased by a lot, especially given that it was relatively low at the end of last month. In fact, with 2278 km3, sea ice volume growth during March was the largest in the 2007-2018 period, well above the average of 1832 km3. This means that the gap with 2017 has widened again, whereas the difference with all other years has become smaller. 2011 is now hot on this year's tail, being just 217 km3 behind. I expect this year to end up having the second lowest maximum on record, but you never know.
Here's how the differences with previous years have evolved from last month:
The 2018 trend line can clearly be seen moving back towards the pack on Wipneus' version of the PIOMAS graph:
Naturally, the trend line on the PIOMAS sea ice volume anomaly graph has shot up, moving away from the linear trend line again, meaning volume loss is slightly less than expected, if one were to extrapolate the data average into the future:
If volume is going up, but extent is among the lowest on record, and you divide the one by the other to get average thickness, the number will go up, of course. Hence the PIJAMAS trend line going up slightly faster than the rest, but differences are marginal at this stage anyway:
As often is the case, the same can be said of the Polar Science Centre thickness graph:
So, how cold was March? It was bloody cold, as the British would say. But unlike the British, the Arctic was actually in need of some serious cold, after a bloody mild winter so far. This can clearly be seen on Zack Labe's excellent ranking graph, showing monthly temperatures north of 70° latitude. After being in the top 3 for five months in a row, the last month of winter came in 26th:
My own temperature graphs, for the Arctic as a whole and for the Arctic divided into four quadrants, show the same, with especially the Siberian side of the Arctic taking a plunge compared to previous years, rivaled only by 2013 (click for a larger version):
And here's a visual representation of that, with the temperature anomaly distribution map of the Arctic, as provided by the ESRL PSD daily mean composites website:
With such low temperatures on the Siberian side of the Arctic, it's no wonder that PIOMAS indicates that the sea ice is thicker there, when compared to the 2011-2017 average (image courtesy of the Polar Science Centre):
It will be interesting to see whether that can put a break on sea ice loss this summer, especially as it will be aided by a large amount of land snow, in Siberia as well as the Northern Hemisphere in general. Here's the latest from Rutgers Global Snow Lab, showing the March average, up quite a bit, compared to the previous four Marches:
On the other hand, volume is still second lowest on record, and extent is now lowest, after a large drop was reported yesterday by JAXA. Winter was mild overall, and the situation on the Pacific side of the Arctic is nothing short of spectacular. Things are slowly warming up, the Sun is slowly climbing higher in the Arctic sky, volume is going to hit its maximum this month, and then the circus starts again in May. It could go either way. Nothing in the Arctic is a dead certainty.
Posted by Neven on April 05, 2018 at 18:33 in Air temperature, Ice thickness and volume, PIOMAS, Snow, Wipneus an someone explain the small difference with 2011 please?
If 1.the extent is smaller than in 2011 and
2. there is less multi year ice
3. the winter was a lot warmer, then I don't understand the small difference.
Or is the volume of 217km3 a lot, even though it doesn't like that much to me?
Posted by: Telihod | April 05, 2018 at 19:57
Thx for yet another brilliant and most importantly *fact–based* update, Neven! As you may or may not know, a certain professor of Doom & Gloom has gone on record stating that October added no sea ice volume, and recently that (late) December to March added no significant volume (see link below), which if you add up those two claims amounts to about 10,500 km³ of “not seen” Arctic sea ice volume increase over 4 of the 7 months of refreeze period.
And as the first week of July last year had about 10,500 km³ of sea ice, it makes one wonder whether or not this glaring blind–spot of his could explain why the good professor says “it would not surprise me at all if we had an ice–free or nearly ice–free Arctic in July”.
Whereas if he wasn’t so abysmally bad at even basic research, and his statements were indeed true that for the first time in human history October didn’t refreeze and Winter Solstice to late March saw no significant refreeze, hitting a virtually ice–free state even before July 1st, would be a walk in the park.

Thank you for a great update Neven!
You did leave out one key element though - the SSW event in late February, which I find is the main reason for the Arctic cooling during March.
Michael Mann said this about the SSW event:
“This is an anomaly among anomalies. It is far enough outside the historical range that it is worrying – it is a suggestion that there are further surprises in store as we continue to poke the angry beast that is our climate”
That statement is remarkable for a scientist, assuming he was aware that an SSW event took place.
The director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University would have been greatly aided by the excellent blog entry by R. Gates in January 2013, which explains causes of these recurring events:
Either way - and what I have not seen described anywhere - is that subsequent to these SSW events, which occur every 2-3 years, the polar vortex seems to solidify and cause Artic temperatures to drop sharply after the initial warming at surface level.
This effect is clearly visible in Zack Labe's chart above, in the DMI 80N temps, and in significantly higher sea ice accretion in following weeks.

The latest link in the news feed says that the difference between a 1.5C target and 2.0C target is as stark as whether (get it?!!?) we want AN ICE FREE ARCTIC ONCE EVERY 4 YEARS OR ONCE EVERY 40 YEARS!
Posted by: AnotherJourneybyTrain | April 06, 2018 at 11:02
Several problems with that, I believe, AnotherJourneybyTrain.
1) Ice–free once every 40 years sounds nice, but how likely is that when A) we have global warming, and B) the ice–free state is a game changer on its own?
2) Global temperatures are never gonna stop at 1.5 or 2C, what will all the positive feedback loops humans have triggered.
There seems to be some idea in the media that we'll enter a "new norce in one year, and then 52 weeks of sea ice the next 39 years, with a repeat every 40 years until the sun implodes.
While that sounds nice and all, I'm not sure it's the correct interpretation of what the relevant science reports say.
Posted by: Clueless FM | April 06, 2018 at 22:03
All winter long had 2 dominating main vortices within the Polar Vortex, the biggest most frequent one being the CAA relinquishing in an osclllating pattern dominance to the other roughly near Ohkotsk to East Siberian seas , until very end, when Novaya Zemlya Island Barents sea area had a very late smaller 'vortice'. This late arrival blocked incoming warm moist air from North Atlantic cyclones, which was happening throughout the past dark season, often ably pointed out by Jim Hunt.
The main feature of winter past was the size of the vortices within the Polar Vortex system. They wee smaller, made themselves vulnerable by radically injecting Northwards these especially moist warm cyclones from our main biggest oceans. Often the vortices migrated Southwards by their own feedback action, pulling cyclones up, broke loose smaller rogue vortices to disrupt a milder winter to the South.
As a result, the drying of the Arctic came extremely late, more than 3 months late,
Of which a complex just discovered feature was revealed, Neven's 925 mb
temperature map presented above, made CAA warmer in March that is correct, but only in the much lower atmosphere, ongoing vertical Sun disk captures, measured a massive cooling above that altitude, to date, 16th place coolest over the past 18 Arctic winters, smaller vertical sun disks imply massive cooling, because these measurements include extremely large atmospheric distances.
In other words, the dye is almost set , either there will be this Novaya Zemlya block twinned with massive CAA dominance pulling cyclones towards Southern Norway, making drier air over the Arctic Ocean more possible, or
the East Siberian 'vortice' will rise in prominence again, making warmer dryer air from Siberia devastating sea ice much further, either ways looks bad, but as I wrote the dye is not quite set, I will come up with my usual spring projection in a few weeks. A few weeks at this telling time of the year may provide certainty in the coming summer circulation patterns.

"2) Global temperatures are never gonna stop at 1.5 or 2C, what will all the positive feedback loops humans have triggered."
Let's not go full-on-McPherson here. *If* emissions can be made to follow something like the 2 C trajectory, then yes, what we know says that temps will indeed 'stop' at something like 2 C.
Ad by: Kevin McKinney | April 09, 2018 at 15:48
But Kevin, how confident can we be that "what we know says that temps will indeed 'stop' at something like 2 C"?
Yes, the IPCC reports do indicate that, but we also know that they rely on five-year-old data, so that when they publish their reports, the data is already five years out of date. The last report is now five years old, so it represents the state of play from ten years ago. We know too that the IPCC doesn't even try to incorporate well-known but difficult-to-quantify feedbacks like permafrost melting or clathrate release, and they always err on the side of caution, so it might be a bit optimistic to take their assessment at face value. I think we'll probably pass the 1.5 target with the next big el Nino in 5 or 10 years, so that target is certainly too optimistic, IMO.
Posted by: james cobban | April 10, 2018 at 15:05
James Cobban already said much of it, but I'll agree with Kevin on the *IF*s. There are 3 big IFs as I see it:
IF #1: If nations improve their game so UN modelled necessary emission cuts are met relating to "Paris" and "2C warming".
IF #2: If UN model blind–spot feedback mechanisms and time–lags do not really mean anything.
IF #3: If "terribly bad luck" weather-wise does not happen (think Blue Ocean events), and additional (yet unknown) feedback mechanisms or similar do not happen.
Somehow, I think these 3 big IFs indicate global temps are not gonna magically stop at 2C. Because, after all, what Kevin McKinney is suggesting, is that we could somehow stop global warming in its tracks, just by polluting the atmosphere a little less with fossil carbon than homo saps did for decades at the height of their folly.
Posted by: Clueless FM | April 10, 2018 at 22:50
Clueless,
The "we could somehow stop" combined with "their folly" sounds a bit schizophrenic, as I assume you are human, living in a house and have a computer.
Also, remember that burning of fossil fuels and cement production together is about 50% of the increase in radiative forcing of greenhouse gasses.
See changes in radiative forcing:
And the CO2 cycle:
Posted by: John Christensen | April 11, 2018 at 20:50
Sorry, let me clarify further, as the 50% can be seen as misleading.
Percentage of increased radiative forcing of greenhouse gasses due to human activity:
- CO2 (Burning of fossil fuels): 44.9%
- N2O, O3 (Engine combustion, industry emissions, chemical solvents): 17.2%
- Methane (Various reasons, mainly human inflicted): 14.8%
- CO2 (Deforestation): 12.3%
- Halocarbons (Non-natural gasses from industry): 10.8%
Posted by: John Christensen | April 12, 2018 at 00:00
John,
Remember as well - if we could somehow magically cease all global warming gas emissions overnight, that the negative feedback from sulfates and aerosols would quickly be removed leaving the warming from CO2 and methane. Combined, these drive us over the edge.
How do we ever manage to back down from that?
Sam
Posted by: Sam | April 12, 2018 at 08:42
Agreed Sam, and that was my point above that we should not look for external reasons - our existence is the main reason for increase in greenhouse gasses.
All significant human activities that have brought us from hunting nomad tribes to modern societies have caused an increase in greenhouse gasses, starting with land clearing (CO2), domesticating animals (Methane) and finally with the industrial age and the cheap energy supply from fossil fuels (More CO2 and other polluting gasses).
However, we see that CO2 emission per capita is declining (Here compared US and Denmark):
Because we are producing more efficiently, with less pollution overall, e.g. also with reductions in halocarbons (Again US vs. Denmark):
Posted by: John Christensen | April 12, 2018 at 09:14
Sam, it appears that China is retiring some of the dirtiest coal plants and is on track to move away from coal for the most part. They are also moving away from ICE cars as well, thereby reducing emissions of sulfates and aerosols. Might this be one of the reasons for the refusal of global temperatures to fall very much since the last el nino?
How much do sulfates and aerosols affect temperature? I am thinking that incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by these substances before it reaches low altitudes thereby preventing some warming. Just how much effect they have is what I am not sure about.

It does not seem so many years ago that the scientific community were quoting 380 ppm of CO2 as the level at which the natural Carbon Cycle might be capable of re-establishing a natural equilibrium level if carbon emissions were quickly and significantly reduced. Carbon emissions continued to rise and 400 ppm was then held to be the 'point of no return'.
After a three year levelling out period, 2017 saw another rise in atmospheric CO2 and CO2e levels.
In November 2015 the CO2 level was 400 ppm, it has been above this level ever since and on the 10 April 2018 it was 409.56 ppm.
CO2 and CO2e remain in the atmosphere in various forms, acting as greenhouse gases, for more than a thousand years.
I beleived the scientists then and I beleive them now. 400 ppm was the point of no return unless carbon sequestration is deployed on a global scale to mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change.
Posted by: D-Penquin | April 13, 2018 at 23:42
Well, D-Penquin, 440ppm is locked in and that was known over ten years ago!
Posted by: AnotherJourneybyTrain | April 14, 2018 at 07:11
D-Penguin,
Concerning this not-very-cryospherical discussion:-
The workings of the carbon cycle mean that were we to magically stop our CO2 emissions, the atmospheric concentrations would drop, roughly halving our contribution to atmospheric CO2, the other half being salted away in the oceans, most of in over a century time-scale. Thus stopping at 380ppm would have seen levels of 330ppm restored in coming centuries, stopping at 440ppm would see 360ppm.
Were we able to cut our emissions of other GHGs which have a shorter atmospheric life, this would yield quicker drops in climate forcing.
And mentioned up-thread, the SO2 emissions are very short-lived so drops in their negative forcing would quickly contribute a significant boost to AGW were they cut in a hurry. However, the cutting will not be immediate and so any significant boost could theoretically be mitigated by cuts in N2O or CH4 forcing as well as the more slowly falling CO2 forcing (when emissions are cut enough for that to begin).
There is, as well as the question of how long it will take us to actually cut our emissions, also the question of what the climate may throw at us while temperatures continue to rise under mounting AGW. The 2ºC now 1.5ºC limit attempts to bring some sense to mitigation polices and ensure such positive feedbacks (or the worst of them) will not kick in during the coming century.
Sequestration of our carbon polution can be wielded as a magic bullet and an excuse for us not to pursue the more radical mitigation policies, the ones that we should be pursuing. But it seems very unlikely that mankind will not be sequestrating carbon in future decades, hopefully with more enthusiasm than our current mitigation efforts.

And continuing on the slightly off topic vein, just a detail on the emissions from cement manufacturing. About half of those emissions are recaptured within 50 years by the cement through carbonization... so we have some built in uptake there as well.
Posted by: Robert S | April 16, 2018 at 23:52
Al Rodgers
Are you suggesting that greenhouse gas emissions are solely of anthropometric origin?
CO2 and CO2e will continue to enter the atmosphere after the cessation of anthropometric emissions adding to the total of greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere and temperatures will continue to rise.
The Carbon Cycle may or may not stabalise the global carbon content over the millenia but in the meantime what stops the globlem heat/energy budget increasing along with global temperatures?
Is global warming that affects ice condions in the polar regions 'off topic'? If so, we are limited to comments on 'effects' and 'causes' are off limits. I know, the other site is available for 'wider' debate but I like this blog better. Of course if Neven decides this is too far of topic I will refrain from further comment.
Posted by: D-Penquin | April 17, 2018 at 00:39

Any idea between the balance of cement production and uptake?
Concrete over all deserts and paint with light reflective paint to replace the lost albedo of melted polar ice AND sequestration of CO2 as a bonus.

Posted by: AnotherJourneybyTrain | April 18, 2018 at 07:11
Robert S,
Your "about half of those emissions are recaptured within 50 years" seems a bit optimistic. The values I see quotes have been mor like 25% in 100 years and taking 1,000 years to finish. Of course, the process is greatly accelerated by demolotion and breaking the concrete into tiny bits and values seen from such a process are perhaps approaching 50% in 50 years. But it still sounds optimistic.
Of course the chemistry of the concrete is a factor, there even being 'green' phosphorous-based concretes that emit no CO2 on calcination (or should that then be 'phosporination'?)
Posted by: Al Rodger | April 18, 2018 at 11:55
D-Penguin,
Your comment that "CO2 and CO2e will continue to enter the atmosphere after the cessation of anthropometric emissions" presumably concerns the melting permafrost and may well also concern the potential for a couple of rounds from Shakhova's Clathrate Gun.
I would be the last to play down the evidential basis for the impacts of AGW but I do occasionally have the odd face-off with folk saying we're all doomed because AGW has or will have soon kicked off a game-changing feedback from GHGs pouring out of the melting cryosphere. It is true we have not begun to reign back on our rising climate-forcings driving AGW. It is true that when we do reduce those rising climate-forcing (which globally we have yet to start to reduce) to zero, as we must, the chryosphere will continue to melt. Indeed, this is one of the compelling reasons for the Paris 1.5ºC AGW limit.
So the level of GHG feedbacks from that future melting cryosphere are a concern and do need discussion (although probably not here at any great length).
So briefly, my own message is that the doom-laden melted-cryosphere message which evokes greatly significant levels of future CO2 and CH4 emissions from the cryosphere is not sustained by the evidence, that being evidence of the levels of such present-day emissions or evidence for future levels. But it must be stated that there are big question-marks hanging over this issue which continue to make it one of great concern for the future.
And how should we handle such a potential danger? Certainly the evidence needs improving. And our understanding of that evidence needs improving. But sadly, it is not the only ugly outcome that AGW could throw at us, outcomes which also require better evidence & understanding. And is 'panic' any better a response to AGW than 'denial'?
Bottom line - stick with the evidence.
Posted by: Al Rodger | April 18, 2018 at 12:09
«stick with the evidence » — The official (United Nations) line is to just ignore evidence, innit?

AnotherJourneyByTrain asks:
"...some of the news feeds are saying there is a delayed spring in the North: how true is this?"
IMHO, it's a highly selective reading of the facts at best. It's true that the northern tier of the US has had something that might be called a 'delayed spring', but here in the South it's more accurately characterized as an 'unstable spring'. And actually, the most remarkable winter month in the US in terms of records set was February, for which something like 16 states in the East (including South Carolina, where I live) were record-warm.
Right now, the NH as a whole is 0.8 C--the same as the global anomaly--and western Europe looks pretty toasty to me, as does most all of East Asia and Northern Africa:
(Note: this page will update, so later readers of this comment will see a different picture, but my comments are/were accurate as of writing.)
Once again, though, there is a lot of cool territory in the US northern tier and in Canada. Somehow that region tends in general to drive a lot of comment/coverage... quite a bit of which tends not to reflect the rest of us in the NH at all.

Hi everyone. I’m a longtime lurker and am hoping to get some help from the hive mind on something a tad unusual. It’s actually about Antarctic ice mass changes.
Back in 2015, Zwally’s study suggesting that Antarctica was gaining ice prompted this on the NASA site:
Well, earlier this year or late 2017 I’d swear I read a follow-up article, updating the 2015 report and saying that the ice mass balance had turned negative with, I believe, Zwally saying this had happened way earlier than he expected.
Problem is, I can’t find it now. It’s possible I’m misremembering, but I’m pretty sure I linked to it during a contentious debate on climate change on at the time. There are mentions of GRACE, but none have the quote from Zwally. In another climate, I’d just conclude I was misremembering, but these days I have to wonder if it was removed by the politically motivated in the administration.
Does anyone remember seeing this or know a way of checking? Thanks for entertaining my confusion!

Posted by: John Christensen | April 19, 2018 at 10:49
Martin:
If I understand it well enough, the controversial bits with Zwally 2015 is 1) about the timescale of the observed volume increases in East Antarctic and 2) the different results of the Grace measurements.
2) is targeted in "Alba Martin-Español et al, Constraining the mass balance of East Antarctica, Geophysical Research Letters (2017). DOI: 10.1002/2017GL072937"
See also
Abstract:
We investigate the mass balance of East Antarctica for the period 2003–2013 using a Bayesian statistical framework. We combine satellite altimetry, gravimetry, and GPS with prior assumptions characterizing the underlying geophysical processes. We run three experiments based on two different assumptions to study possible solutions to the mass balance. We solve for trends in surface mass balance, ice dynamics, and glacial isostatic adjustment. The first assumption assigns low probability to ice dynamic mass loss in regions of slow flow, giving a mean dynamic trend of 17 ± 10 Gt yr−1 and a total mass imbalance of 57 ± 20 Gt yr−1. The second assumption considers a long‐term dynamic thickening hypothesis and an a priori solution for surface mass balance from a regional climate model. The latter results in estimates 3 to 5 times larger for the ice dynamic trends but similar total mass imbalance. In both cases, gains in East Antarctica are smaller than losses in West Antarctica.
1) The time period of the volume increases has implications for the density,thus for the mass increases (Zwally 2015 argues a density close to solid ice, other researchers assume a much lower density closer to fresh snow).
Schröder et al have a paper in The Cryosphere Discussion. Discussion started March 19 and is open until May 14, no comments yet. This paper user observations over a much longer time span (1979-2017) and find a significant acceleration of the East Atarctic ice sheet volume. That (IMHO) makes is much more likely that the volume increases are mostly from snow, thus of low density.
Abstract:
We developed an approach for a multi-mission satellite altimetry analysis over the Antarctic Ice Sheet which comprises Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, ICESat and CryoSat-2. In a first step we apply a consistent reprocessing of the radar alitmetry data which improves the measurement precision by up to 50 %. We then perform a joint repeat altimetry analysis of all missions. We estimate inter-mission offsets by approaches adapted to the temporal overlap or non-overlap and to the similarity or dissimilarity of involved altimetry techniques. Hence, we obtain monthly grids forming a combined surface elevation change time series. Owing to the early missions Seasat and Geosat, the time series span almost four decades from 07/1978 to 12/2017 over 25 % of the ice sheet area (coastal regions of East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula). Since the launch of ERS-1 79 % of the ice sheet area is covered by observations. Over this area, we obtain a negative volume trend of −34 ± 5 km3 yr−1 for the more than 25-year period (04/1992–12/2017). These volume losses have significantly accelerated to a rate of −170 ± 11 km3 yr−1 for 2010–2017. Interannual variations significantly impact decadal volume rates which highlights the importance of the long-term time series. Our time series show a high coincidence with modeled cumulated precipitation anomalies and with satellite gravimetry. This supports the interpretation with respect to snowfall anomalies or dynamic thinning. Moreover, the correlation with cumulated precipitation anomalies back to the Seasat and Geosat periods highlights that the inter-mission offsets were successfully corrected and that the early missions add valuable information.

I do not presume the release of clathrates in my assessment of future CO2 and CO2e atmospheric concentrations if all emissions from fossil fuels, cement and land usage ceased immediately.
1. Forest wild fires increase in size and frequency, the arboreal forest retreats, the savannah changes to scrub land that in turn reverts to desert.
2. The oceans are warming and the water/surface air flux changes, moving in a negative to positive direction.
1. and 2. These changes are happening now with the current greenhouse gas level and adversely affecting the Carbon Cycle. There are many more current factors adding to the increase of greenhouse gases and reducing uptake. In addition, the significant loss of global ice cover reduces the albedo effect. The result is increasing global temperatures.
The global heat balance has already 'locked in' a CO2 level of 450 ppm and there can be no greater illustration of the heat balance change than the graphic at the top right of this Blog!
In a radio interview Neven gave the analogy of Arctic sea ice loss as 'watchinate before the event. The analogy holds for AGW and I think our children and grandchildren will say 'you could see it was going to happen and you did not do enough to stop it just because your scientists could not prove it, where was your commonsense and humanity?'
For the reasons above, it seems commonsense to me that, cessation of carbon emissions is critical but alone will not be sufficient. Sequestration and carbon storage will be an essential component of reducing and stabalising the CO2 and CO2e levels of our atmosphere until once again the Carbon Cycle can cope with the impact of humankind.
It is not all doom whilst we can do something about it. Vigorous and informed debate is required beyond the cessation of carbon emissions. It is now time for technology and engineering to move into the void left by science and the IPCC.

D-brief
Is Antarctica Gaining or Losing Ice? Nature May Have Just Settled The Debate
By Eric Betz | May 16, 2017
(excerpt)
'Zwally still stands by his 2015 study, but in an interview last week, he said nature has recently changed the equation. His team is crunching numbers from the past two years, looking at ice melting and snowfall rates in Antarctica. And they found something startling.
The melt rates in West Antarctica just increased significantly. His calculations now show that the continent is in overall balance. The findings haven’t been peer reviewed yet, but he plans to present them at a science conference later this year.
“In our paper we said that might happen in two to three decades,” Zwally says. “Well, this is an unpublished result, but now we’re very close to the zero line.”'
Back to lurkland.

I have been observing a steady especially significant cold zone for a month, not seen as cold since 2002. It has not really been measured by manned surface stations since it was in an area without people. The optical refraction method permits long distance observations determining air temperatures going as far as 160 to 2000 kilometers. The results will be given in my yearly spring summer winter projection, but in the mean time:
The Arctic Ocean Gyre current just got a major reconsolidation.

Regarding Antarctic ice loss, the GRACE satellites recorded the following :
Research based on observations from NASA’s twin NASA/German Aerospace Center’s twin Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites indicates that between 2002 and 2016, Antarctica shed approximately 125 gigatons of ice per year, causing global sea level to rise by 0.35 millimeters per year.
Posted by: Rob Dekker | April 21, 2018 at 08:31
To explain the difference between Zwally's assessment and GRACE observations, it is suggested here that Zwally assumed the increased snowfall over Eastern Antarctica to have the density of ice, while in reality of course the density of snow is about 1/3rd :
That would explain the difference between Zwally's assessment and actual observations (by GRACE) of the mass of the Antarctic continent ice shelf.
Posted by: Rob Dekker | April 21, 2018 at 08:54
D-Penquin said: There are many more current factors adding to the increase of greenhouse gases and reducing uptake.
Does anyone happen to know if there is a thread here or on the ASIF where someone has listed all those other factors? D-Penguin mentioned:
forest fires,
desertification,
warming oceans leading to outgassing of CO2 and
albedo change due to loss of sea ice
I'd be interested to know what the full list was, including the possible feedbacks like clathrate release and methane release from melting permafrost, and things like bark beetle infestations (caused by a changing climate) that kill off whole forests.
Tces above, the latest word from Jay Zwally on the subject appears to date from December when he presented at the AGU Fall meeting.

The IPCC makes its 'pathway' and 'certainty' predictions based on science and rejects hypothesis because these are unproven. This is the logic of the lunatic asylum.
Consequently, the consensus of opinion is that cessation of anthropometric carbon will lead to temperature stabalisation and eventually lower temperatures.
This premise is misleading and dangerous. This is why there is so little debate about future 'feedbacks'. Science cannot prove a future event!
I have found no significant references on ASIF or in scientific papers relating to the question that you have posted. The start of the debate is long overdue.
Posted by: D-Penquin | April 22, 2018 at 00:48
IMHO, this is what happens when you put polluticians in charge of scientists. Rejection of yet unproven scientific hypothesis about future feedbacks and future warming, truly is insane, and also indicative of the polluticians–in–charge paradigm that was chosen for the IPCC.
Science cannot prove a future event, and dismissing that event from being likely or possible goes against the much touted precautionary principle. During most of my adult life there's been a saying that when we positively know 100%, it'll be too late. You do the math, seems the IPCC was designed to be too late.

It is not correct to say the IPCC 'just' reports the numbers; it sets the criteria for acceptance of scientific papers and thereby drives the AGW agenda.
The objective of the IPCC is to deliver global guidance on the avoidance of dangerous temperature rises through global cooperation based on best scientific research.
The methodology employed has been to select various pathways of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere that will produce a pre-determined temperature over a given timeframe. The IPCC presents the pathways as a solution to limit dangerous or acheive managable temperature rises through a process of reduction in carbon emissions.
Without incorporating feedback scenarios into the methodology the IPCC presentations are, in current parlance, 'false news'.
Posted by: D-Penquin | April 24, 2018 at 00:59
All science papers need to meet criteria.
Science is necessarily political because the private sector doesn't raise funds to achieve social benefit. The reason the IPCC is more political than any other science body is because it is acting on the behalf of even more societal benefit.

RE James Coban on 4/21
Feedback list:
There must be lists in climate science textbooks.But here is an off the cuff attempt (corrections welcomed).
- Drought induced by climate change increases forest and peatland fires which increases black carbon (with direct heat trapping effect in atmosphere)
- Greenland ice darkening (from algae growth due to warming temperatures and nutrient/direct effect of black carbon and dust from nearby newly exposed areas) increases melt.
- Increasing Greenland melt due to darkening, increased air and ocean temperatures, increases fresh water flow into North Atlantic
- Fresh water input leads to AMOC slow down. Slowing ocean circulation reduces CO2 absorption.
- Slowed AMOC increases frequency of warm air masses parking over Greenland?
- CO2 and methane from permafrost thaw
(Methane increases from marine clathrate not yet documented AFIK, no historical data to compare high methane levels found over East Siberian waters against)
- Warming ocean absorbs less CO2
- Ocean stratification reduces ocean CO2 absorption, and reduces heat absorption by upwelling cold water?
- Reduced Arctic sea ice area / lower albedo / more ocean absorption of solar energy
- Thinner sea ice more vulnerable to storm waves, exacerbating ice area loss
- More energetic and frequent Arctic storms amplify Arctic Sea ice loss?
- More open water in Arctic Ocean increases water vapor as GHG in Arctic atmosphere?
- More water vapor over Arctic Ocean increases low-level clouds, reflect sunlight, acts a negative feedback. (Global increase of water vapor as GHG already built into the models.)
- Negative feedback from "Arctic greening" CO2 absorption is constrained by lack of sunlight even with warmer temperatures.
- Arctic greening may have net positive feedback effect because of decreased albedo.
- Desertification due to shifting rain patterns, esp. dry belt extending farther north and intensifying in Mediterranean and Middle East, and south of the Sahara) increases regional albedo and thus a negative global feedback?
- Reduction of fertilizing dust arriving on Trade Winds reduces Amazon growth?
- Amazon dieback (water and CO2 cycling effects in addition to desertification?) Globally, rain forests have switched from net sink to source since 2003.
- Jet stream disruption bringing warmer air masses to Arctic, thus exacerbating Arctic sea ice and Greenland ice loss?
- Cloud effect a big factor and still not conclusively known to be a negative or positive feedback, but evidence is leaning toward net positive feedback.
- Increasing ocean anoxia and acidification will decrease planktonic CO2 absorption and removal through deposition onto sea floor?
- Tendency toward more frequent El Nino increases surface temperature warming (vs. heat sequestration in deep ocean).
- Aerosol reduction from reduced fossil fuel burning reduces current ~0.5C aerosol temperature suppression effect.

GKoehler: I'd add soot from arboreal-forest wildfires decreasing albedo, esp. affecting Greenland (observed)
Posted by: Wayne Kernochan | April 25, 2018 at 04:42
Thanks gkoehler, that's exactly the kind of list I was looking for.
There might be one more item to add, as I seem to remember that once CO2 levels climb high enough, plants actually grow less well, reducing the amount of CO2 they can remove from the atmosphere.

James, The maximum photosynthesis rate for most C-3 plants occurs near 30C or 86F. Most of the plants that grow in the world outside of tropical regions are C-3 plants. Cactus are an exception as they have a different metabolic pathway(CAM). C-3 plants have an enzyme, rubisco, which catalyze one of the steps in the reactions in chlorophyll. Tropical plants plus corn and some grasses are C-4 plants which have maximum photosynthesis at slightly higher temperatures and have better water retention as well.
For C-3 plants during daylight hours respiration rates increase above 30C and eventually when it is hot enough exceed photosynthesis rates. This means during hotter weather plants respire faster than they photosynthesize. The exact temperature where this occurs varies for different plants. See the following:
also:
The two links above explain things pretty well. The bottom line is that during hot weather many plants are dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere instead of oxygen. They are also respiring faster at night dumping even more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. If the temperature stays too hot for too long many plants will eventually starve to death and die if they have survived drying out from being too hot.
This is a relatively complicated process so the above explanation is way oversimplified. So, in many parts of the world plants will not grow faster as the world warms, in fact, many plants could be killed by too much heat by drying out or simply die of starvation.

It has been a very busy data acquiring season, and there is a big surprise!
2018 will not be warmest year in history by a long shot. The CAA has had the coldest steady upper air since 2002, this will shape the entire melt season, not by what it infers, the Northern limit of the Northeast passage may be the North Pole! Because the coldest air is mainly in one zone alone affecting the weather for the entire Northern Hemisphere no less.
Two more parts . prognosis and discussion will come out soon as well. The sea ice is likely going to be crunched against the North American coast.

PART 2 mainly deals with optical prognosis and the struggle to understand current Arctic coldest air zone which will dominate till it gets very cold again, in October.
I found again a huge causal link between sun refraction observations and ENSO. There is also extremely cool sunset pictures of seldom seen exotic events, never seen by 99% of all humans. Finally, despite significant cold zone the sea ice keeps on being thin!
Posted by: wayne | April 28, 2018 at 12:58
James I also should mention that rubisco is a catalyst for both the photosynthesis and respiration reaction and depends on temperature to a fair degree as to which reaction it catalyzes at a faster rate.
So, when it is too hot the rate of photosynthesis slows and respiration increases. If it gets too hot rubisco changes shape and photosynthesis stops. The plants then are subject to death. Once they die they are still dead when it cools off. A good example is the European heat wave a number of years ago.
Ideally C-3 plants do the best with high temperatures near 30C and cool nights near 15C. Warmer temperatures at night mean a higher respiration rate so the plants use up more stored sugar at night under those conditions and respire more carbon dioxide. It is a myth that plants grow faster when it gets hotter. Yes, this is true to a point. Above this point plant growth slows or the plants just die.
Posted by: VaughnA | April 28, 2018 at 19:13
Wayne
The sunset pictures are incredible and probably not seen by all but a handfull of humans. I suspect 99% is a tad on the low side.
Could it be that the link between observed sun refraction and ENSO is related to higher levels of water vapour in the atmoshere following an El Nino event?
I do not understand your implied surprise that 'the ice keeps on being thin!' when the ice is melting with greater consistency from below than direct melting from above.
Posted by: D-Penguin | April 29, 2018 at 01:40
Hi D-Penguin
"Could it be that the link between observed sun refraction and ENSO is related to higher levels of water vapour in the atmoshere following an El Nino event?"
Sun disk refraction measurements through clouds largely do not show any dramatic change in size. The biggest vertical sun compressions of late occurred with moist and drere effectively affects the energy balance on snow and ice surfaces. A moist atmosphere essentially reduces radiative heat on the ground.
This was observed lysis which does indeed affect the sea ice horizon because less energy reaches its hard surface:
"I do not understand your implied surprise that 'the ice keeps on being thin!' when the ice is melting with greater consistency from b there can be no immediate apparent connection between surface air temperature and sea ice thickness, consider a great layer of snow just above it, snow is a proxy for sea ice, a much thicker carpet of snow reduces sea ice accretion. The weather may be extremely cold but sea ice may remain thin. The end result , the certain thickness may not be explained easily, because contributing factors change daily or hourly. , the final product, a certain sea ice thickness does not readily explain the winter just past.
Posted by: wayne | April 29, 2018 at 10:36
Dear Wayne,
Could you please define "refraction". I presume you mean the apparent shift of angular elevation above the horizon of an astronomical body caused by refraction of light in the atmosphere.
The Nautical Almanac publishes a table of first-order refraction corrections to be applied to sextant observations, but it is only an approximations effect can be quite severe at extremes of temperature and pressure.
I also understand that the degree of refraction is a function of the wavelength of the refracted light, and although this is of no consequence in navigation, does it play a role in this context?
Posted by: Elisee Reclus | April 30, 2018 at 21:10
Hi Elisee
"and presumably, so does moisture content of the atmosphere, and that this effect can be quite severe at extremes of temperature and pressure."
Moisture is not at all significant compared to density layers which comprise of mainly two elements , pressure and temperature. Since there is more pressure near the surface refraction is greater as seen by observer on the ground looking at either terrestrial and astronomical objects. Again from the ground, light rays or beams are bent downwards by refraction, the greater the density of the medium the greater the bending, such as a pencil place in glass of water. The closer the object is near the ground, the greater the refraction it may have, since we deal with Arctic Sea ice here , William Barents expedition of 1597 has observed the sun 3 weeks earlier than possible, this was a much debated
claim over several centuries till recently.

Part 3 of my annual projection, 018 main events for the Northern Hemisphere. As always, sea ice is the most difficult to foresee, the greatest challenge, but I finally undersgree of refraction is a function of the wavelength of the refracted light, and although this is of no consequence in navigation, does it play a role in this context?"
Elisee,
I deal with visible light, but refraction happens at all wavelengths, however red e examples may be seen here:
The vertical sun diameter above 5 degrees elevation is in fact directly proportional to the thermal gradient of the atmosphere, I use it as a means to determine the temperature of the entire atmosphere. Below 5 degrees , in particular below 2 degrees elevation, the sun may be distorted and reveal its atmospheric profile, either adiabatic/isothermal (rounder sun), or with an inversion called stable lapse rate, this kind of atmospheric profile may cause the sun to flatten considerably.
Posted by: wayne | May 01, 2018 at 10:06
Wayne, thanks for your explanation of how refraction works...stuff I didn't even know that I didn't know. Very cool..
Posted by: VaughnA | May 02, 2018 at 05:58
Your welcome VaughanA
You'd be surprised who doesn't know much about refraction. I have learned that even many highly educated people, guys with multiple degrees, engineers etc, did not know that the sun disk splits in 3 colors, red bottom, middle yellow and top green blue. I am currently, as far as I know, the only guy that does the work I do, is a lonely field but important, since I can pick up what remote sensing platforms miss. I think the satellites use surface data, like "skin temperatures" and calculate the rest of the data upwards through models, without really capturing the temperature profile of the air, they might use other techniques, but they definitely failed to pick uters projections will still forecast accurately , but I think
they will fail in some ways, because mr "AI" also does not know just as much as our best minds do .
I would like to stress the importance of Neven's and others works, it affects peoples we never really have in mind, we want their world's saved:
The plight of your people makes me work harder, Anote Tong....

Wayne,
I too offer my thanks. I cannot say I fully ‘gronk’ the meaning of your work, though it is clearly important information, and you clearly do get it.
I would add to your lament the near complete absence of recognition of the importance of the third dimensional movement of air and energy in the atmosphere. I have been unable to find detailed tracking of that anywhere. It is almost as if the folks studying the atmospheric movements decided that vertical movements were/are unimportant, when clearly they are hugely important.
Sam

Thanks again Wayne, I have seen the "green flash" once and have a little familiarity with that. National Geographic published some photos with some rudimentary explanations (compared to your explanation) a number of years ago.
I do have a Master of Arts in Teaching degree but that doesn't mean I know much. I mostly taught plant science and applied math to high school students in Washington State.
I have been reading Neven's Blog and "The Arctic Sea Ice Forum" since the early days of these being published. Both are certainly a wealth of compelling information. I don't comment very often because usually I don't have too much to add.
I think we are in big trouble with "Ma Nature" although most people I know are not as concerned as many commenters on this blog.
The graphs published here are about the best I have ever seen and they are here in one place. One type of graph I draw for myself are cause-effect "s" curves that illustrate delayed reactions on the same coordinate plane.
Keep up the great work,
Vaughn

Hi Sam.
"I would add to your lament the near complete absence of recognition of the importance of the third dimensional movement of air and energy in the atmosphere. I have been unable to find detailed tracking of that anywhere "
Very much indeed, at any given moment there is a great deal of energy in our atmosphere, especially at the end of winter, this energy simply does not vanish instantly, is like Lorenz Butterfly effect on a nuclear giga bomb scale, there should be some sort of quantification at each end of winter, may be in the future th of great value, ironic to use the sun which gives all our energy as a thermometer. If you live in the State of Washington by the coast, you could certainly witness many of them given time to do so, even especially amongst mountain valleys. However, if you really look closer at the horizon flat or high up, just like studying a painting by Van Gogh, you will find hidden in plain sight many signals from the atmosphere.

Wayne,
«The CAA has had the coldest steady upper air since 2002, this will shape the entire melt season»
I'm wondering whether or not your report implies that inversion over the CAA is gone or about to be lost, as we've also seen over Svalbard. Inversion means lower air is colder than the upper air, and loss of this inversion is spreading in the Arctic, and is also one of the most powerful positive feedback loops in the collapse of Arctic sea ice.
Posted by: Clueless FM | May 03, 2018 at 08:06
HI Clueless FM
" I'm wondering whether or not your report implies that inversion over the CAA is gone or about to be lost"
There can be many inversions until the temperature profile maxima, that is the maximum temperature of the entire upper air, the colder the atmosphere there more inversions may be above,
lets look at this mornings temperature profile for Ny-Alesund Ii Svalbard:
it has a small , called weak inversion peaking at 238 meters
same station but February 15, 2018
colder makes for a stronger inversion to profile maxisurface, over the years these are gradually morphing from inversion (stable) to isothermal to adiabatic (unstable) as the Arctic gets warmer. It is much like confusing a May profile with a January one, they look too much alike. The unstable lower profiles at the interface between surface and air transfer heat upwards, as opposed to stable.
In other words the lower temperature profiles averages in mid winter , particularly Svalbard can be mistaken for a late spring one say more than 10 years ago. Which is a matter of study.
Center of CAA , optically I see it happening as I write, over the last 10 years there has been a gradual change from mainly stable towards unstable.

AnotherJourneybyTrain,
I'm not sure where your 'DMI ... next to unparalleled' quote comes from, or if it is a quote at all, but the 5th May 2018 DMI80N temperature was "unparalleled." From the DMI graph, I scaled the 5thMay DMI80N temperature as 266.9K. Previous years of daily DMI temperatures are available from this on-line spreadsheet courtesy of an ASIF poster. Thus the daily DMI80N maximums for the beginning of of May are:-
1st 264.33K
2nd 263.73K
3rd 264.51K
4th 265.58K
5th 265.32K
6th 266.35K
7th 265.83K
8th 266.28K
9th 267.76K
10th 267.81K
So 2018 has broken the record for 5thMay that had been set in 2009, that 266.9K 2018 temperature arriving 5 days earlier than in any previous year.
The final point of the trace on the DMI80N graph is presently 6th May which I scale to 268.0K. This is another record for 2018 with the previous record 266.35K (again set in 2009, the top of that 2009 wobble) and the 2018 value not bested until 9 days later in the year by the maximum set on 15th May 1990.

Hi Clueless
The entire winter was mostly much warmer, so I expect the results you have posted, however there is something about post massive post El-Nino event which reverts to deeper cooling, at least in some bits of the Arctic, it is entirely natural, except that it is much smaller than Post 1998, which is not natural at all. So we have one sector , the CAA, having smaller but deep cold air mass which is bringing up thng and
should last (much diminished) to minima come mid September.

How To Perform Umrah Step by Step?
Umrah is the second pilgrimage in Islam to the house of Kabah. It is also known as a lesser pilgrimage. Though it is not obligatory with any condition on Muslims – unlike Hajj which is obligatory on whoever has financial and health capability to perform it, but it has great importance. Also, unlike Hajj, Umrah can be performed anytime in the year, hence there is no limit for time except for the days of Hajj. Many Muslims who have never performed Umrah nor Hajj do not know how to perform Umrah? And that’s why we are sharing this step by step guide on how to perform Umrah.
4 Most important steps of Umrah:
Ihram
Tawaf
Sayee
Qasar
The above listed 4 steps are most important for anyone to complete his Umrah. Missing any of these would require one to perform Umrah again next year. Now let’s get deeper into how to perform Umrah step by step.
Ihram:
The first and basic step before reaching the Holy House of Kaba is wearing Ihram. According to some scholars, Ihram should be worn right before leaving the home, and some suggest to wearing it before entering Haram. However, both can be done as it is not hard and fast to when should one wear Ihram, only wearing it before Meqat is.
The procedure for Ihram is as follow:
First of all the pilgrim needs to take a bath (Ghusal) and then wear the Ihram sheets. Then the pilgrim should offer two Nawafil, then uncover his head and declare his intention for Umrah. Now when the pilgrim has made intention for Umrah after following these steps, the restrictions of Ihram/Umrah apply on him.
Tawaf:
The 2nd most important step in Umrah procedure is Tawaf. Tawaf means to move around in circles against any object as the earth revolves around the sun. In Islamic Shariah, Tawaf means moving around Kabah seven times with intention of Umrah. Moving around should be done this way that Kabah remains on their left and every pilgrim should have done ablution. Start from the Rukne Yamani, if you have the possibility to touch or kiss it, you should do, if not there’s no need. Men should make their right shoulder naked while performing Tawaf and then cover it afterward.
Sayee:
Sayee is walking or running slowly between the mounts of Safa and Marwah. Pilgrims need to perform this back and forth movement seven times, climbing up and down the mounts. There are many supplications that pilgrims can offer during performing each Umrah step. After the seventh step, the pilgrim will stop and end the movement at the mount of Marwah and offer two Rakat nawafil. This is the second last step in Umrah steps.
Qasar:
The last step in our guide of how to perform Umrah step by step is Qasar. Qasar means completely shaving head for males, while women only need to shorten their hair the length of a fingertip.
After Qasar, the Umrah is complete now the restriction of Ihram and Umrah are lifted and pilgrims can take off Ihram. Perform Umrah and become a guest of Allah

The Pittsburgh Steelers look to stay hot while building on their five-game winning streak. The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost two of their last three road games. Mason Rudolph is completing 64.5 percent of his passes for 1,330 yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. Rudolph enters this game with 203 career pass attempts under his belt. JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson have combined for 866 receiving yards and six touchdowns while James Washington has 20 receptions. The Pittsburgh Steelers ground game is averaging 83.2 yards per contest, and Conner leads the way with 380 yards and four touchdowns. Defensively, Pittsburgh is allowing 20.1 points and 332.2 yards per game. Devin Bush leads the Pittsburgh Steelers with 69 tackles, T.J. Watt has 9.5 sacks and Minkah Fitzpatrick has five interceptions.
The Cleveland Browns need another win after losing four of their last five games. The Cleveland Browns have lost three of their last four home games. Baker Mayfield is completing 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,201 yards, nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Mayfield has at least one interception in seven of his nine games this season. Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. have combined for 1,284 receiving yards and three touchdowns while Nick Chubb has 27 receptions. The Cleveland Browns ground game is averaging 123.9 yards per contest, and Chubb leads the way with 919 yards and six touchdowns. Defensively, Cleveland is allowing 24.6 points and 356 yards per game. Joe Schobert leads the Cleveland Browns with 82 tackles, Myles Garrett has 10 sacks and Devaroe Lawrence has one interception.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. The Cleveland Browns are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a home favorite. The Steelers are relying on an aggressive defense that forces takeaways during this five-game winning streak while the offense does just enough to squeeze out victories. The Browns managed to beat the Buffalo Bills last week to keep their season alive, but they did everything they could to make that game more competitive than it should have been. The Pittsburgh Steelers have thrived in the underdog role, while the Browns remain awful ATS in these spots and are still a team that shoots itself in the foot way too often. Underdogs also thrive on Thursday night. With all that said, I'm laying the small chalk with the Browns at home. The Cleveland Browns are still the more talented team and maybe last week is a turning point in their season.

My little brothers girlfriend is vegetarian/flkrts with full vegan. Could you please discuss on the net podcast just how horrible that is please…I will be assaulting her with books, podcats, and studies to get her to change her habits as I think it’s border line criminal to subject a baby to that diet. Looking forward to your book and seminar in San Diego…

I honestly don’t care what these folks do. If they are at all curious they should do a paleo approach for 6-8 weeks, track blood markers and performance and see who the two compare. That’s as deep into the debate as I like to get.

Great discussion on the nuances of CF culture. CF system has no doubt been the best thing ever for me in terms of training, maximizing physical capacity, job performance (Fire Fighter). Access to the Robb Wolf gig has also been an equally key part of the overall equation and it is definitely CF’s loss to have burned that bridge. The more one delves into it, the more one begins to feel something’s not right about certain aspects of the culture. Finding a well-run gym and identifying great trainers has been the best solution for me in cherry-picking the best of CF and working around the CF cultural issues. Well said, maturely/respectfully handled on the topic in this podcast, and it helps to have it said in a way that I sensed but couldn’t articulate. Thanks! (and thanks for constantly telling me that it’s good to the program when all of life’s stuff is hitting the fan… one of those things where CF arrogance can really screw things up in the lives of real-live people).

Robb, Andy,
Great podcast for No. 30! Highlight for me was Robb getting back to his Teutonic roots and channeling Martin Luther at the end with his nailing of 95 Theses on the Crossfit church door. Bring on the Reformation.
3 points on the show:
1) Could one not view the thickening of the arterial walls due to an increase in blood pressure during exercise as an evolutionarily favourable adaption against damaging/rupturing them during a subsequent bout of activity to ensure survival in the short term, favoured over avoiding a heart attack at 55 i.e. survival in the long term? e.g. hormeosis (Relevant to our ancestors, not so much now as we live longer and don’t have to flee wild beasts. Unless you’re Siegfreid and Roy)
2) Excellent point about the difference between running a modern marathon and running down an animal. I learned this while on a military course in Borneo. The Western soldiers (i.e. Me) would try and walk up hills carrying 60lb packs like it was a 400m race, whereas it was pointed out to us that the indigenous Iban we worked with would walk up steadily, stopping as neccessary. To allude to my ealier analogy: When the White Tiger decides to go 1776 in Vegas, Siegfreid doesn’t have to set a 5K PR- he just has to beat Roy. (As it appears he did).
3) I found a link about exercise research that is already being looked at through the “exercise in a pill” lense. ($$$):
I have now over-posted my welcome.
Thanks for the podcasts!

You will never over-post your welcome. I see a guest-spot in your future! For the Siegfried/Roy tie-in alone this question deserves serious review, to say nothing of the CONTENT! RE-1 above- Some exterior arterial wall thickening is good/normal. What becomes problematic is interior thickening which also narrow the flow and increases both pressure and turbulence (which tends to thicken the wall). More in the podcast!

Re rosacea etc getting worse a week or so into Paleo. What are your thoughts on Barry Sears explanation that when you start losing fat, some people release a large amount of arachidonic acid from fat cells, as due to their previous diet it has been sequestered there (like other toxins). AA released in large amounts then provides a lot building blocks of the inflammatory hormones.
My observation is that about 20% of people starting the Zone / Paleo / paleo-zone feel great for a few days, in fact lots of things improve – especially health issues people are prone to that are inflammation linked – eczema, headaches etc. Then a few days into the programme everything they are prone too gets worse, headaches, joint aches, constipation, eczema… – this typically lasts about 3 weeks, gradually decreasing in severity. Once people get through this first few weeks they are usually fine and the inflammatory issues resolve even if they continue to lose body fat.
I’ve also found that bumping up the omega 3 a LOT usually dampens the symptoms for most people. Sears theory makes sense to me because most of the problems can be linked to downstream inflammatory eicosanoid etc hormone production, and the issues often respond to large doses of omega 3.

That was easily the most entertaining episode to date. The CF discussion was extraordinarily interesting to hear and I for one would love to hear more in depth discussions like that in the future. What would also be wonderful is a podcast dedicated to discussing what are the best programs for which goals and why they are superior. For example, what are the best programs for putting on size and strength? What is the best program for MMA athletes? I’ve had absolutely amazing gains in strength and body comp by following CFFB. What is it about the programming that makes it so effective? If there’s a program that yields better results than CF Endurance, what is it and what is it about that program that makes it superior? I think that there are many of us who are newer to organized S&C or even the wily veterans who’ve been around the block that would be greatly interested in this. I’ve been a walking testimonial for CFFB for about 6 months but when someone asks me “how does it work so well” i am completely unable to formulate an intelligent response other than “It’s programmed by a guy who played 10 years in the NFL and he’s way smarter than you or me.”

Hey Robb,
This question may be more a psychology thing, but I’ve been having some compliance issues lately and I am not sure how to get really get back on track. I used to have a cheat day once a week, and for the rest of the week I was super strict paleo with absolutely no deviation. Now I have a hard time lasting a full week before I get to eat some ice cream or have sushi (with rice). On top of that I even desire to cut down my cheat day to two cheat meals, yet despite desireing that I can’t seem to do it. Somewhere there is a breakdown between what I want and what I am actually doing. Do you have any tips or insight?

Robb,
I enjoy listening to your podcast every week. This week was especially good. I really like the red-flagging of the increasing work capacity across…on the main site lately. I have stopped viewing these as WOD’s as challenging daily events and started seeing them as “dick swagger.” The disintegration of The Firm’s relations with their talent has left a large hole in the cohesion that was once a seemingly sound program. It is a sad state of affairs and hard to piece together some semblance of the original shit. Anyway scramble the radar and continue on.

Aw shucks, Robb. You’ll make a chap blush! We’d have to see about the guest-spot, though. I’m in Saudi, where Norcal Margheritas et al are verboten and I usually only start getting debonair and dashing when I’m half in the bag.
I stand corrected on the arterial wall issue. I should listen more carefully. Also, my anatomical training is rudimentary at best and was mostly geared towards disassembly rather than improvement.
(Also embarrassed about spelling Siegfried incorrectly. Twice. My Bavarian forebears would be turning in their graves)
Having done some endurance-style activities (mostly over-reaching at best and ill-advised at worst) I am not surprised that high-volume aerobic activity actually decreases overall health.
Firstly, I doubt that our ran 8-10 miles, six days a week. More likely 20ish miles once or twice a week with 5-6 days of rest/other activity.
Secondly, I find it hard to believe that they would try and move like a bat out of hell, either. I imagine it was more like a modern 3:30 marathon runner aiming to complete a marathon in 6-7 hours.
In fact it probably looked uncannily similar to the very successful schedule that Jay described in his recent post.

Robb, thank you for mentioning that someone with an athletic background might “peak” fairly quickly in terms of adapting to the Crossfit workout style. It is helpful for folks to hear good info that would never come from the primary source. Constantly hearing that the program’s only limit lies with me is a bit oppressive, and your words carry a tacit suggestion to broaden one’s training horizons after the adaptation to the current program is achieved. All I would add is that one CAN add in other stuff and keep most or all of what they previously achieved.

Knocked another one outta the park, guys.
Andy — that coconut/apple concoction sounds like the mo’shizzle. Would you mind posting the basic recipe for us (namely, me) kitchen flunkies, please? Also, what brand of coconut milk do you prefer?
Robb — Spot-on with the CF observation. Hey, I love CF, too — it’s a hell of a GPP tool, when used *as part of* an overall, well-designed/prioritized system. Those of us that have been in the game a while, though, realize the folly of attempting to use the wrong tool for a desired outcome, failure to prioritize or “conjugate”, and/or failing to realize that all modalities work, but no modality works in perpetuity. I kinda side with Poliquin’s notion that the most effective program for the trainee, at this point in time, is the one that he’s *not* doing. CF can certainly be a part of that mix, but it just can’t be (no matter how emphatic is GG’s assertion otherwise), the whole enchilada.
Something I’d love for you guys to cover in a future podcast — Mike Mahler (whom I agree with more times than not), maintains that DHT is actually the “Grand Poobah” anabolic hormone, and that high levels — in an otherwise “clean” hormonal profile — are desirable. A plunge into the testosterone/DHT optimization question — and a discussion of Paleo’s affect this ratio — would be much appreciated. A friend of the family’s has recently been diagnosed with prostrate cancer, and, as you might imagine, DHT is spoken of rather poorly around the ol’ kitchen table. I’m quite sure that high DHT levels are not the problem, but another “something” that is in the environment of a high DHT level that’s the real root of the evil. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks again for the enjoyable string of shows, guys –

Remember, these endurance athletes also have an enlarged heart that is caused by this chronic high blood pressure from hours of exercise. This is similar to hypertension causing ventricular hypertrophy, causing CHF in Metabolic Syndrome. I’m not saying these athletes are developing metabolic syndrome, but I’m also not sure the human heart is meant to become enlarged. Not sure how this ties in, but it might be significant.
Question About Animal Fat-
Also, still wondering if you could elaborate on saturated fat from animal sources. You’ve made it very clear the difference in polyunsaturated n-3,n-6 in animal fat and how it affects us. Is there a difference between pastured and grain fed saturated fats other than there being more of it in grain fed. How does saturated fat affect humans? what does it become in the body?
Thanks for any feedback.

testimonial-
My mother in law is 72 years old. I loaned her my Paleo Book not expecting more than 5% compliance. 45 days days go by with no word from her. When she showed up at my house she proved me horribly wrong. She complied and dropped 22 lbs, but that wasn’t even her favorite part. Apparently she had a skin issue with her legs for years and has been embarrassed to wear skirts or shorts. 2 weeks into cleaning up her diet the skin issue was resolved.
So for those who don’t think that your parents or relatives will do this thing, buy them the book, there is hope.

Another great podcast, loved the whiteboard reference and the last question, and your commentary on it. I’ve found the “elite” attitude that many in the CF area push just a big friggin turn-off. Don’t get me started on CF games and “The fittest person on the planet” either…
But a good thing to talk about is what exactly is fitness? I know a lot if it is relative but if a client or potential client came to you and asked “Robb, I want to be fit! What do I need to do?”, how would you answer that question?
You and Andy keep up the good work.

I just stumbled on the site and have only listened to #30. A few things struck very close to home.
For the guy doing radiotherapy, eat anything you can by mouth. It sounds like the same thing I went through 5 years ago and I reckon I rehabilitated my perotid glands by doing just that. Get down whatever, its really hard when you have third degree burns in your throat and you are slugging down morphine to cope but there must be something… for me it was the crap you get from the hospital in little boxes (and unpronouncable ingredients)and ramen noodles with real chicken chopped in tiny pieces. And anything that could go in the blender. You gotta eat what you can and not worry too much what it is, that can wait. I refused a feeding tube and I think it was the best choice. I did lose 7kg that hasn’t ever returned, but so what? I just had my 58th birthday and took the last few weeks off to cycle with my wife in Italy. And posted my best time in “le Race” (a half size “tour” ride) in Christchurch NZ.

Hey Robb,
I have had some pretty bad toe fungus for about 3 years now. I have tried the medication, but I just felt horrible on it after about a week and I had to stop. Is there is any “paleo” alternative to the harsh medication that most doctors recommend?
I eat paleo with very little fructose in the mix (about 99% of the time i.e a cheat meal once a month). My toe fungus originally sprung up in high school when I played basketball pretty much everyday.

I’d step up to some 21st century interventions! Thee is a laser treatment that works great. Ironically, it was developed by a guy here in chico, but it is available nationally. Just google “toe nail fungus laser”. Standard paleo will help prevent re-infection as will supplementation with s. Boulardi.

Robb, Allowing my self 10 minutes so may be a little choppy…
Great stuff on Mountaineering Nutrition. I bonked really bad near the end of a long day in the mountains last fall hiking around 10 – 12K feet. I was thinking that maybe I just needed more carbs and stay warmer longer, it was a cold-ish, windy day. Last weekend went on another longish hike at altitude and had more carbs and food in general and felt good enough at the end to run out the last little bit. I think next time I will experiment with Accelerade because I seldom use it but know it works for me digestively.
Also great stuff on CF at the end of the post. Super helpful with validation on some changes at the gym.

I haven’t yet made it through all the podcasts, so if this has been covered I apologize.
Anyway when you talk about people eating only two or three meals a day, is that in addition to some type of post workout nutrition/supplementation? Specifically with regards to weight training workouts.
For example if someone was eating only two meals a day, would it be okay to eat their first meal at 8am, train at 2pm and then eat again at 8pm with nothing taken during and/or immediately postworkout?
I ask because I’ve always eaten and trained like a bodybuilder and so the idea of going 6 hours after working out without eating or supplementing with anything pretty much flies in the face of everything I’ve always heard.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide with this.

Hey Robb, quick question about von Willebrand disease (vWD). I have a client who was just diagnosed with vWD and what seems to be a low platelet count. It appears to be a mild form, as he has made it through to middle age without ever having problems with excessive bleeding, even after surgery and stitches, etc.
What are some numbers he and his physicians should be looking at? His doctor has suggested medication, but he would like to know how a diet intervention will help the condition. How does the paleo diet affect clotting disorders such as Haemophilia and vWD, etc?

I have a lot more energy & I feel better than I have in awhile. My mood has changed & my body is starting to take shape. I don’t know if the constant bruising has slowed any, but the premenstrual effects are to a min. & almost non existent.

First off, I love your podcast and want to say thanks for all the great info you have provided. I follow a very strick pale diet and have seen marked improvements in my health including a reduction of my A1c to 5 (aiming for 4.2.)
I was very excited to see the addition of beef jerky to the paleo line. However, I am very perplexed by the ingredients:
Grass fed beef, Water, Soy Protein extract, Salt, Corn syrup, Caramel color,
Distilled vinegar ,Molasses, Sugar, Spices, Anchovies, Tamarind, Smoked flavor, Granulated garlic.
Really? Looks more like a SAD recipe then paleo. I purchase jerky from U.S. Wellness that is free of any non-pale incredients and wonder what led to the inclusion of soy protein, corn syrup, caramel color, molasses, and sugar in the Paleo Brands. I would appreciate your feedback on this

I drive 1 hour plus each way to work and work shift work. Excuses, excuses.. I know. But I love my many cheats. But back to why I am sending this message. You basically stated that pure Crossfit doesn’t work. The way you quantified this was to point out the great up and coming athletes that are beating out the long time crossfitters. I disagree. My thing is you need to compare the athletes to themselves (i.e. are they still getting PRs regularly) and not compare specific individuals.
Either way, thanks for the podcasts and info. Your podcasts sometimes keep me awake during my long commute. Good luck with the book.
Thanks.

Rod-
Exactly, and folks are NOT following .com programming and progressing. That main page programming has been held up as the end-all-be-all. Many others have argued it needs some tweaking and in very specific ways if one is to progress long term. That’s addresses your point, my main point was that we do not see other sports with a complete changing of the guard each year. Age may remove some folks but experience and skill-set SHOULD be worth a ton. In CF we are not seeing this. Perhaps I’m wrong, but this is my observation after coaching this stuff for 7-8 years.

catching up on older episodes. my wife is a veg (i emailed you about her the other day). she’s committed to attempting paleo but not to eating meat (i’m working on her). she’s been a veg since childhood. she’s got serious rosacea.
you spoke about low dose gla. should that be from borage oil? any inflammation issues with the omega 6’s? what’s a low dose?
thank you!

I’m gathering some info on the paleo diet and rosacea for a friend of mine that gets rosacea when she spends any time in the sun. Do you hear back from the women who asked the question on rosacea? I’m curious to hear how things turned out for her. Also any additional info you could point me to would be appreciated.
Thanks for all you do!!! I’ve been paleo for about four years – it cured my acne and hypothyroidism.

Last Sunday, Wangoe, her daughter Anne, Ann Jeroge, James, Cynthia and I went and spent the day with our church family in Kamwarua. It is always a joy being with them and they are always so glad to see us. God is really gathering some wonderful people together in this little farming community to express His love.
The family has grown in size and the number of children coming has doubled since last month. The church is truly becoming a spiritual colony of God’s Love. Every time we visit, their growth in Christ becomes more evident.
When we gathered together in our little meeting place, Wangoe and Ann Jeroge from Nakuru led out in the praise and worship with their lively drumming.
And as we began praising the Lord in song and dance, my wife Cynthia began showing everyone the Hebrew dance step called ‘The Grapevine’. Wangoe’s daughter picked it up quickly.
The praise was so wonderful we decided to go outside that all of us might sing and dance to the heavens. It was very uplifting.
As we re-entered our meeting place the children sang a special song and the youth (teenagers) presented us with a dance they had created that week. Because we don’t have access to electricity, they danced to the music coming from a cell phone.
After we finished singing everyone brought their offerings and placed them in the basket… that is… all except this little bugger who was caught trying to take some out!
People began sharing what the Lord was doing among them and giving thanks for all His blessings. One shared that after so long, they now knew they were part of a real church.
After James and I shared a short word of encouragement with them, we told them that God was pouring the same spirit of love on them that He was pouring on us in Nakuru.
Then our overseer for Kamwarua fellowship, Karanja, invited us all to a big meal at his house. Some of the ladies had been cooking all morning long.
The meal was great but even better was what one young man told us as we were about to leave. He said… “God bless you for coming and showing us such a great light. Please don’t ever leave us until we unde
rstand fully the will of God for our lives”.
Leaving after such a wonderful day is always hard, but we will be revisiting them again in two weeks. Pray for the progress of these dedicated disciples laboring to reveal the Body of Christ to their community.

Measurement Guide
The Dea Sandals Capri sandals have standard and regular fit sizes so ) it is possible to define which foot length corresponds to our EU measurement system.
Example: if your foot is 22.7 centimeters long, the size of the sandals you need to buy is EU 37.
We recommend making your sandals to measure simply by indicating two dimensions "foot length" and "instep measurement" if it is a thong sandal. If, on the other hand, it is a non-thong sandal, it is also necessary to take the measurement of the front band. Follow the steps in the following figures:
Detect the length of the foot
While standing, place your bare foot on a sheet of paper, draw a straight line at the heel and the other at the big toe, with a ruler measure the distance between the heel line and that of the big toe. (see figure)

I believe that with the right tools and strategies you (yes, you) can build a profitable, successful and joyful business that fulfils the needs of your heart and your bank balance.

Ready to be
inspired
…by setting goals and dreaming big for yourself and your creative business?
motivated
…by gaining access to tried-and-tested techniques that will attract more clients, finesse your business model and boost your sales?
energised
… as your inbox fills with enquiries from your ideal clients, your goals are not only hit but knocked out of the park, and your brain is flashing with lightbulb moments?
Good,
because that’s where i come in
It takes passion and grit and heart and creativity and a whole lot more besides. I know you know this, because you’ve taken that leap, you’ve made the decision to start up as a creative entrepreneur, whether as a side hustle or as a full time job.
But I understand how things can feel overwhelming. How you can feel like you’re doing everything right and seeing no results. How you struggle to reach the clients that align with your vision. How your workload seems to be growing while your sales are doing the opposite. How you’re just. So. Frustrated because you know your business is the bee’s knees, but you’re just not getting the bookings.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
I’ll work with you to adjust your mindset and set your intentions, give you new tools to streamline your systems, polish your brand identity, focus your ideas and start to see those sales come streaming in.
Whether you’ve just launched and you’re looking for lift-off, or you’ve been in business for a while but have plateaued and need a well-deserved rocket boost, I can help.
work with me
I’ve been where you are
I put in more than a decade climbing the corporate ladder, knowing there was something more fulfilling out there for me. I decided to go for it, to take the leap, and to start up my wedding photography business, Faye Cornhill Photography. To start with, I, too, felt that horrible sense of overwhelm. I made mistakes (lots of them). I missed the comfort of a pay cheque at the end of the month. But then I started to learn, to focus my mind and to utilise some of the techniques I’d mastered in my corporate life. Soon, my business was blossoming, and before long other photographers and wedding suppliers were coming to me for advice.
Now, corny as it sounds, I really am living my dream. I have an internationally recognised photography business, and I’ve coached dozens of other wedding businesses and creative entrepreneurs on how they can make their dreams realities, too.
I’m not special. I’m not superwoman. I didn’t get a magic fast pass to success. I am, however a believer in passion, patience and persistence; and that with consistent hard work, the right mindset, and a push in the right direction, I truly believe that you too will have a booming business that surpasses all of your expectations.

I love all of the pictures of Robin. He would make a great children’s book accompanied by all of the photos you and Jon have taken of him.
Many, many years ago, when I was just a kid I saw a film called So Dear to My Heart. It was about a boy on a farm and his little lamb. I will have to research it so I can share it with you. I remember there was a song in it–“Lavender blue, dilly, dilly, lavender green, you be my king dilly dilly, I’ll be your queen….” I loved that film and it reminds me of Robin. Some memories from the past are very calming.

Jane, I was singing that song the other day. I remember it from a movie, but never remembered the movie it was from. I always loved that song. But I had this idea that the puppet Lambchop was in the movie. I guess that’s how memory works. Lambchop was the lamb I knew as a kid. Now I’m going to look it up. Thank you for this.

Oooh, that “Lavender blue” song is one of the best things about Disney’s live-action Cinderella movie (besides the costumes, and Cate Blanchett). For some reason I didn’t think it was a ‘original’ song, and until I saw the lyrics written above, I didn’t realize how apropos to the storyline. I just love its lullaby quality, and find myself humming it frequently.

Employers use Group Interviews to understand how you respond in a group situation working as part of a team. The observer will watch to see wehther the candidate takes a leading role or more of a backseat position. If you are leading the group the observer will want to see how you delegate responsibility, if you’re taking a less forward role then they will want to see what you do contribute to the activities.
There are two different types of group interviews, combined interviews and panel interviews.
Combined interviews include all the candidates meeting together and undertaking different tasks, perhaps through several hours, both within a group and individual tasks or interviews. This process will let the interviewer see:
– How your knowledge can be used within the discussions,
– Teamworking and leadership abilities,
– Communication qualities, particularly listening.
Panel interviews usually ask the candidates to produce a presentation to the panel of interviewers, and sometimes also to the other candidates. The interview panel can consist of top-level CEOs or HR managers depending on the position you are applying for. Make sure that you contribute something meaningful to the discussions, but also li
Interviewers tend to favour the Panel Interview process when employing for a high stress level role, often in management positions where there would be lots of responsibility. Each candidate will be asked questions by any of the panel members. The best way to deal with this type of group interview is to remain calm and answer as proficiently as possible.
Related: How to say thank you after a job interview.
Tips for Group Interview success
When you receive confirmation of the interview, make sure you get as much information as possible. That includes:
Time, location and likely length the interview.
The process the group interview is likely to follow.
Names and positions of the individuals on the panel.
Arrive prepared with a number of copies of your CV for the interviewers if necessary.
The interviewer will be looking to see what type of person you are, and how you will fit into the existing team and the company. Try to be confident but not overbearing.
Panel Group Interview Tips
As you enter the Panel Interview room, try to shake hands with the panel members.
Once the first question is addressed to you, take the time to thank the panel for your opportunity.
Make sure that you address your answers to all of the panel, and get eye contact with all of them at some point throughout the interview, ideally within each question.
At the end of the interview you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions yourself, which you should have prepared so that you seem interested in the vacancy. Try to direct this to a specific person rather than hoping anyone will answer it.
End the interview on a positive note by thanking and shaking hands with each panel member, and reiterating that you look forward to working with them.

Maine’s Biden voters want to see Affordable Care Act stay in place
Health Nov 4, 2020 9:24 AM EDT
A majority of Maine voters say the Affordable Care Act should be left as-is or expanded, according to the Associated Press’ VoteCast survey. Fifty-four percent favor the law, while another 44 percent said it should be repealed or weakened.
Former Vice President Joe Biden won the state overnight, and 90 percent of those who picked the Democrat favored leaving the law as is or expanding it. Meanwhile, 85 percent of voters supporting President Donald Trump oppose the law.
Support for Biden narrowed slightly based on income, according to the VoteCast survey data, with 49 percent of Mainers with less than $50,000 backing Biden. That’s down from 52 percent of Maine voters with household incomes of $50,000 or more who voted for him.
Following a 2017 referendum campaign, Mainers expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act in 2019, despite staunch opposition from Republican former Gov. Paul LePage. Throughout his presidency, Trump has targeted the ACA. When a Republican-led Congress failed to repeal the law at the federal level in 2017, Trump resorted to signing a series of executive orders to dismantle Obamacare.
The law that provides health insurance to more than 20 million Americans and expanded Medicaid in 37 states remains under threat. On Nov. 10, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in California v. Texas, a case that questions the ACA’s legal standing after Republicans in Congress gutted the individual mandate.

New Zealand reinforces synthetic drug warning

WELLINGTON, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand police and the chief coroner on Thursday reinforced their previous warning to communities about the dangerous consequences of using synthetic drugs.
It comes following the recent deaths of two men aged 22 and 37, and a 26-year-old woman, all from West Auckland who died in separate incidents and where the coroner is investigating whether synthetic drugs were a possible cause of death, according to a police statement.
"This is not just a problem in Auckland, this is affecting families and whanau (communities) across New Zealand," the statement said.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard is calling on the community to tell police who is selling and manufacturing these drugs.
"You may have noticed that we are not calling it synthetic cannabis... It is a dangerous drug that we know is a synthetic compound usually manufactured overseas," Beard said in the statement, adding that those taking it are taking a huge risk because "you do not know where it has come from, or the level of dosage."
Chief Coroner Judge Deborah Marshall said that there had been a number of deaths potentially related to the use of synthetic drugs since a public warning was issued in July.
"Using any illicit drug carries risks, and in the case of synthetic drugs, they are known to cause potentially fatal seizures," Marshall said.
Detective Inspector Beard said that police have made a significant number of seizures and arrests across New Zealand and are focused on arresting those responsible for the sale and supply of the dangerous drugs.

The 2009-10 Season Night By Night
This post looks at the coming Fall season on a day by day basis. The aim is to try to handicap the season and pick the winners and losers. Needless to say this is an inexact "art" – because calling it a science is absurd. Several "rules" apply in looking at this stuff. For one thing, no show from The CW will win a time slot for a season. I won't say never ever – after all they used to say that about FOX back when they were airing shows like Werewolf and look where they are now. They just aren't going to do it this year or for a long long time. The other major "truth" is that in a battle between an established show and a new show, the established show has an advantage, particularly after the show has had a second season. The more established the show the greater the likelihood that it will knock out a new series. Of course the term "established" is a relative term, and it is possible – likely even – that there is a tipping point where an older show loses audience because people are becoming tired of it. Not unlike the old er bull elephant that used to run the herd but gets bounced by a younger stronger bull. Still TV is like a lot of elections, where the incumbent has an advantage over the fresh face.
Before looking at things on a night by night basis, it's only appropriate to recognise the "gorilla in the room" which this year is NBC's decision to effectively abandon the third hour of primetime by scheduling The Jay Leno Show five nights a week. NBC apparently thinks that while the Leno show won't win every night of the week but they say it will win some nights and be competitive on others. I say they're delusional. I mean I understand what they're doing; they wanted to keep Leno on NBC on the grounds that its better to find something for him to do with the network than having him bitter and on another network attacking the show that he had been forced out of. The thing is though that in their ham-fisted way they've screwed the proverbial pooch. There were other ways that NBC could have reacted to the possibility of losing Leno. When Steve Allen left the Tonight Show in 1956 the network kept him with the once a week Steve Allen Show. I wouldn't be surprised if NBC would have been able to keep Leno with a similar arrangement. But of course NBC – in the person of Jeff Zucker, who has spoken on this – is convinced that putting scripted programming on during the third hour of primetime is part of a broken programming model. Doing five hours a week of Leno is cheaper than five hours of scripted programming and Zucker has stated that advertisers will respect the network based not on ratings but on corporate profitability. But an advertiser is "buying eyeballs" – and more importantly the "right" eyeballs – and Leno is not going to deliver in that area. He is unlikely to win his time slot on most nights and possibly not any nights, but more importantly Leno is most likely going to finish third every night in the 18-49 demographic which everyone acknowledges is a key factor for advertisers. So NBC has committed itself to a model that is probably more broken than the one they are rejecting. Worse, it's a position that they can't gracefully retreat from if the ratings are as bad as a lot of people think they are going to be.
Times are Eastern, and new shows are in capitals (except NCIS and CSI).

There are a couple of changes here of which the least is probably The CW's decision to turn the night back to the affiliates for first run syndication. The network has been floundering on Sunday nights since UPN and The WB merged and last year's debacle with the Media Rights Capital shows pretty much proved that the network can't find a successful formula for the night. The major changes are the two new shows – The Cleveland Show and Three Rivers – and the decision to move Cold Case to the third hour. The Cleveland Show seems to be a good fit between The Simpsons and Family Guy but how things will shake out later in the year when the show is supposed to move to the slot currently occupied by American Dad is anyone's guess. The big battle is going to be between Three Rivers and the established Desperate Housewives. NBC's Sunday Night Football siphons off a big chunk of the male audience which leads to the belief that the two scripted shows will be fighting over the female audience. In this Desperate Housewives might be presumed to have an advantage. However the relative success of Cold Case in the time slot would suggest that the audience for an alternative to football and Seth MacFarlane animation isn't as homogeneous as one might think. Couple that with somewhat flagging ratings for Desperate Housewives over the past season, the presence of Moonlight heart-throb Alex O'Laughlin in Three Rivers, and there would seem to be some play how well the newcomer will do in the time slot. I still think that Desperate Housewives will come second in the time slot – effectively a win amongst the shows that aren't Football – I wouldn't be surprised to see the show continue to weaken and Three Rivers pick up viewers. Whether Cold Case can survive the move to the third hour is a different question. In recent years ratings for CBS shows on Sunday nights have weakened as the night progressed. Cold Case is an established show but the question is whether it will carry its audience to the later time slot.

This is the first night when the "Leno Effect" will be felt. I don't see too much hope for the 13 week NBC series Trauma up against Dancing With The Stars, the highest rated CBS comedies (Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory) and even Lie To Me (though I worry about how well that show will do against the power house shows in that hour). I don't think CSI: Miami will have much trouble winning its time slot against Castle, but the latter shouldn't totally collapse and it should be strong enough to beat Leno. The one weak spot for CBS might be the new comedy Accidentally On Purpose. What I've seen of it doesn't really do anything for me.

THE FORGOTTECW, simply because there are so many people who hate reality shows and when you look at the first two hours of Tuesday night the only networks that don't have reality shows on are CBS and The CW. I'm somewhat concerned with the idea of both NCIS shows being on the same night. Certainly it was something that CBS did with their CSI franchise. Maybe this would have been better on a Sunday. (And by the way, NCIS: Los Angeles? Hardly the most original name!) Melrose Place will probably benefit as well but to a lesser extent because of the nature of the show. As far as the reality shows, I'm afraid I foresee a rather quick demise for Shark Tank even though the series is an international favourite. It just doesn't strike me as a show that Americans will watch during the Fall season. It may also be a mistake to run So You Think You Can Dance in the Fall, particularly so soon after the completion of the summer cycle of the show. In the third hour, this might be one night when Leno is going to be strong. Based on descriptions I can't muster up too much enthusiasm for either The Forgotten or The Good Wife. I'll likely sample both (thanks to a late feed out of Washington state) but don't know which I'd choose.

How long has it been since we've seen two sets of sitcoms go up against each other in the same time slot? In the first hour I think the ABC sitcoms have an advantage. It's not just that they've got good casts – although Hank and The Middle do have great leads. The CBS series just seem a bit ... umm pedestrian ... I guess. People who don't like sitcoms do have a couple of reality shows and NBC's Parenthood which I'm sort of looking forward to since they seem to be taking the name rather than the theme from the original movie... and the earlier TV series. Modern Family and Cougar Town also have strong casts, but I don't see them prospering against Criminal Minds and Law & Order: SVU. I do think that Law & Order: SVU is a show that is going to suffer from being in the second hour of prime time where they aren't going to be able to do the edgiest material in the way they did in the third hour. I still haven't watched the pilot for Glee so I'm not really comfortable discussing it. I do think that it is going to face a lot of problems from the two procedurals. Even though I like Paul Gross, who will be starring in Eastwick, and think that Lindsay Price is gorgeous, It just won't beat CSI: New York.

The night of big payouts in terms of advertising revenue and you can see the networks rolling up the artillery. Leno is going to be a disaster on this night. He won't attract the younger demographic and that has to be essential on a night where movie advertising is important. I think The Mentalist is going to be a good match for CSI and it will be in an interesting battle with Private Practice. I think that The Mentalist will win unless Private Practice pushes the Grey's Anatomy connection. This could be the year when we see a real weakening of CSI. There was a definite weakening in the 2008-09 season after William Petersen left the show – I don't get it myself unless since Laurence Fishburne is an excellent actor, although without Grissom there isn't a strong leader for the team, at least that we can see – and I think that FOX moved Fringe to Thursdays to exploit this. While I like the concept of The CW's Vampire Diaries I'm not convinced that it was appropriate to break up the "guys' night line-up of Smallville and Supernatural. Then again, I don't know how it would work as the anchor on Friday night which is only other good fit for the show. I like the concept for Flash Forward but think it's going to have problems against Survivor and Bones.

Tentatively Friday is warming up as a night for scripted programming. Each of the five networks has at least one scripted show on the night. They're a mixed bag. The CBS line-up is pretty much a stand-pat effort; the only change is the addition of Medium but it is an established show even if it was established on a rival network. Ugly Betty is another established show but it's being moved to Friday night in what can best be described as an effort to save the show. I don't think that will work. FOX saved Dollhouse (which is good) but has decided to lead into it with what I tend to regard as a weak new sitcom (Brothers) and a show which should have been cancelled last year when it was pulled off the air ('Til Death). This doesn't look too good for Dollhouse if you ask me. Moving Smallville to Fridays is a bit of a gamble bit it can't do worse than the comedies that The CW had in the time slot. I just which that they had been brave enough to use the show's relative strength (you know, for a show on The CW) to lead into something new rather than an encore of a show that aired previously in the week. Law & Order is entering its 20th season and should do well in the time slot, even though it is early for a crime drama. The real question is how will Southland perform? It wasn't a powerhouse on Thursday nights when it replaced ER so I suspect they're pairing it with Law & Order in the hope that it will retain audience well. I'm not convinced. There are lot of things that I like about the show, but there are a lot of things that could be improved or even scrapped. Both of these series would have been better situated if that third hour of prime time had been available for them.
So there you have it, the 2009 Fall TV line-up. In the next day or two I hope to post preview clips from all of the network shows... although for some of them that won't be easy.

Melrose Place is, like the show preceding it, a remake of the classic Aaron Spelling night-time soap of the 1990s, with at least some people from the original series making a comeback. Well at least temporarily because a character from the original series (who was previously thought to be dead) is murdered in a plot thread that will reportedly carry through the entire season. Stars Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro from the original series, and Shaun Sipos, Katie Cassidy, Colin Egglesfield, Stephanie Jacobsen, Michael Rady, Jessica Lucas, and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
The Beautiful Life is a typical CW show with a young cast and a vaguely soap opera-ish plot line. This time around the subject is the modelling industry. Raina Collins (Sara Paxton) and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth) are two young models just breaking into the industry, Raina at the top and Chris at the bottom. The cast includes Mischa Barton as Raina's friend and sometimes rival Sonja, Elle Macpherson as Claudia Foster who owns the agency that represents Chris. Other cast members include Dusan Dukic, Ashley Madekwe, Jordan Woolley, Corbin Bleu, and Nico Tortorella. Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke, Mike Kelley, and Carol Barbee are executive producers.
Like Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries is based on a series of young adult novels. Elena (Nona Dobrev) is a popular high school student who has recently suffered a personal tragedy. In the wake of this she becomes infatuated with Stefan (Paul Wesley), a mysterious new guy at school. Very soon she discovers that Stefan is in fact a vampire. Soon she encounters Damon (Ian Somerhalder) – Stefan's charming but evil older brother. The two brothers find themselves competing for Elena's soul and those of her friends.
In Parental Discretion Advised Britt Robertson plays Lux, a teenager who has spent her entire life bouncing from one foster family to another. Trying to become an "emancipated child" she is forced to track down her biological father "Baze" Bazile (Kristoffer Polaha), a guy in his thirties who owns a bar and has a couple of slacker roommates. He in turn leads her to her mother Cate Cassidy (Shiri Appleby), who hosts the local "Morning Madness" radio show with her off-air boyfriend Ryan (Kerr Smith). Cate is saddened that her daughter has been in the foster system since birth. When Lux's effort to be emancipated fails, the judge grants temporary custody to Baze and Cate who have to overcome their discomfort for the sake of their daughter.
Comments:
Despite the fact that The CW is only programming five nights a week as compared to six nights from the other networks, they will have as many hours of scripted programming in the Fall of 2009 as NBC will, thanks to that network's decision to air The Jay Leno Show each week night. While The CW's eight hours of scripted programs are likely to be far less popular in terms of pure viewership than those on NBC, it is likely that the network will be relatively pleased with the results. The CW is pursuing a different sort of programming model than any of the other four networks. In effect they are narrowcasting, focussing most of their programming at a specific audience – 13-34 year-old women. While it is true that there are a couple of shows that attract an audience outside of that group – Supernatural and Smallville – most of the network's focus is on this particular niche.
Perhaps the most interesting move made by The CW isn't a new show but rather the decision to move an established show; Smallville. Probably the most popular scripted show on the network, The CW reportedly spent a great deal of money to sign Tom Welling for a ninth season. So it would seem strange to move the series from its established timeslot on Thursday – a night that has some of the highest advertising revenues in the week thanks to movie advertising – to the supposed ratings ghetto of Fridays. However there is probably an argument to be made for the move. All of the networks are starting to make a tentative effort to program scripted material on Fridays. I suspect that The CW programmers believe that Smallville has a chance to thrive on Fridays, while at the same time establishing a theme for the network's Thursday night line-up other than "guys' night." The real weakness isn't running Smallville on Fridays but rather following it with an encore of America's Next Top Model rather than a scripted show which would make better use of the show's ratings strength. The problem is finding a show that would mesh with Smallville – the mid-season replacement Parental Discretion Advised really doens't work in that
way.
Themes do seem to be a major feature of The CW's programming. Putting Melrose Place on after 90210 seems to be a bit of simple logic – two Aaron Spelling shows which theoretically at least will not only appeal to the network's core audience but also to those with a nostalgic attachment to the original series. Similarly, the placement of The Beautiful Life, a series about the modelling industry, following the reality series America's Next Top Model is a very logical connection, creating a "fashion industry" block. The one area where this might fall down is with the placement of Vampire Diaries preceding Supernatural. While both series have an "otherworldly" theme (to avoid using the word which is also the title of one of the series), from what little I can discover from a synopsis and a few clips the handling of the theme in Vampire Diaries is hardly similar to the approach being taken on the older series. The other reasoning for placing this show in this time slot is obvious when you realise that the alternative was most likely to place the show on Friday nights without adequate support.
All in all, while no one would mistake The CW's fall line-up with that of CBS or even NBC, I'm inclined to think that it shows at least a bit of an understanding of the market they're trying to reach. There's nothing in the shows that's surprising or stands out glaringly, but the shows that The CW is putting on the air at least betrays an understanding of the audience they're hoping to reach, which is way more than can be said for some (well one) networks.

Accidentally On Purpose is the story of Billie (Jenna Elrman), a newspaper film critic who finds herself pregnant after a one night stand. She decides to keep the baby and the "boy toy" who is the father (Jon Foster). They decide to live together platonically but Billie isn't sure whether she's got a boyfriend, a roommate or a second child to raise, particularly when his freeloading friends come around. Also stars David Show, Ashley Jensen, Lennon Parham and Nicolas Wright.
The Good Wife stars Julianna Margullies as a woman whose life collapses when her politician husband (Chris Noth) is jailed amidst stories of sexual improprieties and political corruption. She returns to her own career as a lawyer at a prestigious Chicago firm, but its been thirteen years since she's been in a courtroom. She finds herself in competition with people half her age for the one associate position with the firm. She does all of this to provide a stable home for her two teen age children. Also stars Christine Baranski, Josh Charles, Matt Czuchry, and Archie Panjabi. Producers are Tony and Ridley Scott.
NCIS: Los Angeles is a spin-off from the original NCIS focussing on NCIS's Office of Special Projects, a branch of NCIS that is involved in undercover surveillance. Stars Chris O'Donell, LL Cool J, and Louise Lombard.
Three Rivers looks at the organ donation process from the perspective of the three groups concerned – the families of the organ donors, the transplant doctors, and the transplant recipients. The only permanent cast members are of course the members of the transplant team at one of the most prestigious transplant hospitals in the country. Cast includes Alex O'Loughlin, Katherine Moennig, Daniel Henney, Julia Ormond, and Christopher J. Hanke.
Arranged Marriage is a reality show that looks at three adults who decide for a variety of reason to allow friends and family to arrange marriages for them. The show follows them from the first meeting with the partners who have been selected for them and through the marriage to the day to day problems of married life.
The Bridge is a Canadian made show from CTV, which also created Flashpoint. Aaron Douglas (from Battlestar Galactica) stars as Frank Leo, the new head of the police union. His work as a cop forces him to bridge the gap between rich and poor in the area they patrol, while his position as union head forces him to bridge the gap between the cops on the streets and the department brass, many of whom have their own political agendas. Also stars Paul Popowich, Frank Cassini, Michael Murphy and Ona Grauer.
Miami Trauma moves Jerry Bruckheimer away from the world of forensics and police procedurals. In Miami Trauma, Bruckheimer goes into the world of emergency medicine with a team of surgeons of varying degrees of experience and different personalities but who excel at the so-called "golden hour" when a trauma patient's life hangs in the balance. Stars Jeremy Northam, Lana Parrilla, Elisabeth Harnois and Omar Gooding.
Undercover Boss is another reality series, and like Shark Tank is
another series taken from a foreign original, this time British. In this series high level corporate executives take low level positions in their own companies to get a real sense of problems that their companies face and how their workers are actually being treated. There's no indication of how long the American executives will stay as low level employees; in the British version of the show they had to spend ten days in their temporary positions.
Comments:
CBS has made several interesting moves in their schedule that I'm not entirely sure of. Moving The Mentalist to Thursday night following CSI from Tuesday following NCIS is both a testament to the show's break-out performance in the past season and a bit of a puzzle in that they're putting a lot of eggs in one basket. My guess is that with Leno taking over the third hour for NBC, CBS is aiming for a show that can deliver a knockout punch against ABC's Private Practice. Bringing Medium over from NBC is another move that some are finding controversial. I've seen Medium described as dying show based on its NBC ratings, and when CBS described NBC's failure to pick up the show as "indefensible" because it had higher ratings than some NBC shows that were renewed (including Chuck which was – rightly – the subject to so much effort to get it brought back) NBC countered by saying that the series was lower rated than some of the shows that CBS cancelled. One of those shows was Eleventh Hour which was a show that I loved but one where the cancellation wasn't a surprise, just frustrating. I have a suspicion that when the ratings for the full year come out Eleventh Hour – which frequently finished 13th in overall viewers – will probably be the highest rated show cancelled this season (yes, above Without A Trace). And yet anyone who reads Marc Berman's Programming Insider forums knows that the "numbers heads" (as I call them) there were demanding that the show be cancelled practically from the time it debuted because it didn't do well in the 18-49 demographic – though it was improving – and had poor retention out of CSI. I'll mourn Eleventh Hour but I do see the merits of putting Medium on the network and putting it on Friday night when the 18-49 demographic is arguably less important than it is on other nights.
Looking at the new shows I think there isn't much that really stand out. I'm not entirely sure that moving Big Bang Theory out of the first half hour of prime time and moving How I Met Your Mother will necessarily help Accidentally On Purpose. This show is going to rise and fall on how much people like and accept Jenna Elfman in this role, because the show doesn't seem overly original. The description of the show reminds me a lot of the Katherine Heigl-Seth Rogen movie Knocked Up and the clip that I've seen doesn't disabuse me of that notion.
Turning to the dramas, my one concern with NCIS: Los Angeles is that they've decided to use it to follow the original NCIS. The problem is of course that looking at the CBS schedule I can't think of anywhere else to put the show except maybe following The Amazing Race. Does it really fit to have a show that is going to deal with global terrorism follow a show that deals with global travel? Three Rivers, with its dramatic emphasis on saving lives probably works better. Finally there is The Good Wife. I'm pretty much convinced that if NBC had continued to program the third hour of prime time rather than turn it over to Jay Leno, CBS would have retained Without A Trace. As it stands the new Julianna Margulies series will be facing up against a relatively routine procedural (The Forgotten).
CBS looks set to be the dominant network – at least in terms of total audience numbers if not in the 18-49 demographic (let alone the 18-34 demographic which is becoming more important for some advertisers) – this year. The network has admirable "bench-strength" and could arguably have retained all of their 2008-09 line-up, replacing only The Ex-List and Worst Week. That said, there's nothing particularly bad about the new line-up either. The problem is that while there's nothing particularly bad about it I really can't say that there's anything particularly outstanding about it either. It's a nice safe, unchallenging line-up. It's going to work, and I'm betting that few of these shows are going to be cancelled before the end of the season. I just don't think that it's a line-up that will set the world on fire either.

There are four levels of dancers in a ballet company. At the bottom is the largest group, called the ‘corps de ballet’. Next are the ‘corphees’ who lead the corps de ballet and sometimes dance the smaller parts. Then there are the ‘soloists’ who dance alone. And at the top are the ‘principals’ who dance the lead roles.
A male dancer lifts over 1-1/2 tons worth of ballerinas during a performance. That’s like lifting 1,350 big bags of sugar!
Pointe shoes are handmade. Their toe boxes are painted or "blocked" with glue, then baked in ovens to stiffen and strengthen them. Some professional dancers can go through 20 pairs of ballet shoes a week; in fact, some can wear out a pair of pointe shoes in one hour. On average, England's Royal Ballet troupe goes through 15,000 pairs of pointe shoes a year!
Before a ballet class you rub ‘rosin’ on your shoes to stop them from slipping. This is a yellow powdered crystal that comes from pine trees and is the same substance that cellists, bassists and violinists rub on their bows to improve their instruments’ sound.
A prima ballerina can complete 32 fouette turns (a complicated turn where they whip their leg around), while staying in exactly the same spot on the floor. After the turns, her pointe shoe tip is hot to touch and it is so worn out that it is only then used in rehearsals.
You DO NOT have to be tall and thin to be a ballerina.
How to pick a ballet teacher for your child about Children's Ballet Dancing: Facts & Ideas
Key questions to ask the ballet school:
Do they follow a dance syllabus and enter children for ballet exams?
How many other children are in the class? Is it mixed gender?
What is the studio space like? Can you go and have a look at it before you sign up?
Is there a strict dress code? Usually children are expected to wear specific leotards, tights, shoes, costumes etc. You should allow for this in your budgeting costs. Do you need to purchase these items before your child starts their ballet lessons or can he/she wear their own clothes initially in case they decide not to continue?

A sense of discipline through learning new positions and steps.
Ballet is a great way for a child to keep fit, strengthen core muscles and a lovely way for him/her to explore their imagination through the magic of dance. They gain a sense of self-confidence and pride in their bodies and what they can accomplish through practice.
The skills learnt in ballet are useful for other forms of dancing like tap or jazz if they want to try something different at a later stage.

One of my goals this year is to improve my organization of inventory. As a business I need to have control of my inventory. Although most of what I make has a long shelf life, instead of making what I enjoy, and struggling to make more of other things before the next show, I’ve decided to better track the specifics of things I sell and develop an inventory par level, to relieve some of the stress between back-to-back shows. Of course I will still be developing new projects as well as tweaking older ones, since another part of business is constant change. With a better inventory system I should be better able to see where I’ve been as well as where I’m going.
Last year I made a spread sheet for candle inventory. Instead of just writing down the scents I sold at each show (as I had in years past) I began by listing all of my scents (over 100), included my beginning inventory, my sales of each for each month, and the number of each made each month. Then I had a running inventory to tell which ones needed to be made next. (Yes, this could be done in excel, but was easier for me to track by paper & pencil/pen on a columnar pad.) This year I have plans for slight changes which should make inventory keeping easier yet.
Free smells of Soy Candles
Now at the end of the year, I have a complete picture, not only of my best sellers (which tend to vary from year to year) but also of the monthly and seasonal variations which will allow me to better tailor my production for this year.
With candles somewhat under control, I decided that yarn needs to be my next challenge…..I spin a lot more than I realized, both at craft shows and at home.
I have more than five 18gal totes of yarn that I have spun over the last several years. (Plus a smaller amount that I have listed here and here. Starting with the five craft show totes, I emptied them on the table, one at a time, sorting them by color.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Then I started taking each color and dividing the skeins into families by color (dye lot) and fiber type, assigning a “parent” number and sub-numbers, and recording the pertinent information on a spread sheet. This way with a quick look at the parent number, I can tell a customer how many skeins of a particular yarn is available, whether it is in my back stock or listed on line.
sorted into reds and greens
The greens and the reds are completed (unless I find more in hiding). I am pulling some skeins to use in knitting hats and cowls. It’s a good way to display how well the yarn works, and gives me a better idea of the yardage needed for a project (although this will vary with pattern and individual gauges.) But best of all, I have the enjoyment of working knitting with my own yarn; A skein with no knots, easy to wind into a ball without tangles because of the way I wind my skeins from my spools. And I see how the shades of color work together to enhance the pattern, forming an unique project.
Some of my added stash
(Hover mouse on pictures below to read captions)
Greens starting to find their families
reds, pinks, and peppermint twists
reds, mauve, and hot pinks
marls and other reds
Organization is a lot of work, especially when I get distracted with knitting 🙂 Two totes turned into two and a half, plus a bag of stash for me. I have only three totes plus a small box left to do. It is progressing quicker than when I was handwriting everything on my old labels.
new yellow tags ready to replace the old handwritten ones.
yarn and my inventory tools
Once finished I will know which colors I need to dye more of to spin. This leads to the roving totes that will next need to be “organized”! Then there’s hats etc that need their own spreadsheet!
As I create, I’ve also created “the never-ending organizing-inventory monster”! (I do like red though 🙂 All a part of growing a business I guess!

The last fifteen years of so in my work career has been mostly devoted to managing and planning inventory. The items you are keeping track of are ones I have not worked with before but basic principles of inventory don’t change. Decide the best unit of measure for all your yarn and then be consistent, consider a two bin system both stocked with equal amounts so when one bin is empty you automatically reorder more and allow for the time to get it before you run out of the second bin amount…and if you use some yarn for multiple uses set a higher level of “safety stock” in those bins to allow for a variance in consumption. Good luck!

Thank you for the information, but it is a little harder for me to apply. I don’t order my inventory. I make the yarn on a foot-treadled spinning wheel from wool or alpaca, or llama, or even flax. My yarns are one of a kind or limited editions. They are different sizes to allow customers to choose a size to fit their specific needs and to allow for the different yardages that each dye lot makes. People who buy hand spun yarn are looking for quality yarn in unique colors and styles, not the mass produced cookie-cutter products that can be found cheaply in large stores.
With the candles, I keep a supply of wax, jars, and scents and make enough to have safety stock. Yes, I make the candles consistent using family developed recipes and techniques.
Doing craft shows is a different type of business than traditional retail. If you don’t have it on hand people can’t come back next week to pick it up since then we will be in a different town, with a different set of customers. I do a limited number of custom orders to ship as well as some on-line sales. After more than 20 years of doing craft shows, we are still changing some of the ways that we do things, and no I don’t display my complete inventory at a show, but do keep back-stock with us.

That is a fascinating challenge to anticipating what amounts of yarn will be sold at any given time. Any “forecast” is a guess, you just try to make it as intelligent a guess as possible..lots of times prior sales is all you have to go on. Very interesting and I am sure even after two decades you’re still learning better ways to running the business!

Yes, I am afraid I am a spinner too 🙂 Both dropspindel with or without distaff and wheel. But just for hobby. My yarn is not very even so far but getting there.
I also dye (with plants), knit, crochet, needlebind, net, sprang, weave, tablet weave …
And I am either a woolaholic or on my way of becoming a sheep myself O.O

I blog on my laptop, and to insert a link, I select the text, click the link icon at the top, and when the box opens, there should be a little check box at the bottom to “open link in new window” (or tab, I don’t remember the wording). Let me know if you need more; I can try to do it on my iPad and take a screenshot.

portapatetcormagis, Wow, sprang, naalbinding and card weaving are things I haven’t learned yet! Do you attend re-enactment type events? As to uneven yarn, that is normal for beginners (and is great to weave with or knit something extra textured) when you ply it, it will even out some, and with practice it will become harder to spin unevenly, so cherish that beginning yarn 🙂
A fellow fiberholic- isn’t it great?

I have been an active reenactor for about 13 years now. “My time” is ca. 280 b. c. and 530 a. d. This is where I met these old techniques.
I can acutally use my yarn for knitting by now which is quite nice. I have great help from friends in a spinning group. They are taking art yarn courses to learn what I try to smooth out *lol*

Isn’t reenacting fun? I’ve done colonial times for many years now and was introduced to a Vikings group (that I think is between 600 and 1600ad) a few years ago. Vikings is where I saw examples of sprang and sat in on part of a class on naalbinding (I was there as a merchant so couldn’t learn the whole time!) Yes, having learned to spin as a teen, I really have trouble doing an “art yarn” LOL! And spinning groups are great -amazing how many different techniques people use.

Description
Author(s)
“Our form of government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don’t care what it is. With us, of course, it is the Judeo-Christian concept, but it must be a religion that all men are created equal.”
So said Dwight D. Eisenhower shortly after being elected president of the United States in 1952. Although this statement has been variously interpreted, it reflects one of his fundamental guiding principles: that for a country to thrive, it needs a shared identity, formed through common values, history, and purpose. For Eisenhower, this could be found most distinctly in shared faith—a concept that came to be known as American civil religion, which defined and drove much of the cohesion of the 1950s under Eisenhower’s leadership.
This biography tells the story of how deeply religious convictions ran through every aspect of Eisenhower’s public life: his decision to become a soldier, his crusade against fascism and communism, his response to the civil rights movement, his belief that only he as president could lead America through the Cold War, and his search for nuclear peace. Having been brought up in a devout family—first as part of the River Brethren and later Jehovah’s Witnesses—Eisenhower continued to see the world in terms of a dialectical struggle between divine and demonic forces throughout his life, even after joining the Presbyterian church. This perspective shaped his public image as a general in World War II and as president during some of the coldest years of the Cold War, when cultural differences between the atheistic Soviet Union and the religiously grounded United States began crystallizing.
As Eisenhower’s historical standing continues to rise, and his contrast with the modern Republican Party deepens, Jack Holl’s study of this consequential figure of twentieth-century American history shines a spotlight on what has changed in the intervening years. What can be learned from the religious outlook of a public servant who embraced moderation instead of partisan division? Which beliefs and convictions led a former general to a position of skepticism against the military-industrial complex? With the role of faith in American political life still a hotly debated topic today, Eisenhower’s religious journey is worth renewed attention.
Jack M. Holl has served as a professor of history at Williams College, the University of Washington, and Kansas State University. A public historian at the US Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Energy, he played a leading role in the founding of the Society for History in the Federal Government and launching the National Council of Public History. He has also served at the Eisenhower Foundation and continues to evaluate Eisenhower Foundation research grants at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.

The migratory phenomenon in Spain: from immigration to emigration?

A large number of people immigrated to Spain in search of opportunities during the first decade of the new millennium. In fact, between 2004 and 2008 Spain received a cumulative flow of 3.7 million people and, in 2007, broke the record for the number of foreigners entering the country, over 900,000 in total, becoming the second largest receiver of immigrants in absolute terms among the OECD countries after the United States.1 However, the crisis not only put a stop to immigration2 but also stimulated emigration; to such an extent that net migration remained in the red between 2012 and 2014. In this article we analyse the evidence regarding the most recent migration phenomena observed in Spain, with particular attention on emigration over the last few years and the departure of more highly educated young people.
Immigration affects the host country in many different ways. In this Dossier, the article «The economic impact of immigration» analyses the main channels through which this phenomenon affects the economy. For Spain, where the volume of immigrants born outside the country represents 13.2% of the population, a figure similar to countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom,3 different studies have analysed the effects of the recent wave of immigration on the country. These analyses coincide in noting that, insofar as the labour market is concerned, the flow of immigration had zero or minimal effect on the total levels employment and wages received by the Spanish although it did affect the specialisation and distribution of jobs among native workers, encouraging them to carry out jobs involving fewer manual tasks.4 The arrival of immigrants also had a positive effect on the participation rate for skilled native female workers resulting from the increased availability of services provided by immigrants,5 as well as helping to postpone the problems caused by its ageing population. The impact of the larger supply of labour on economic growth was also appreciable: according to government estimates, immigration lies behind more than 50% of the growth in Spanish GDP between 2000 and 2005.6 However, at an aggregate level immigration had a negative effect on productivity and reduced the amount of capital per worker as immigrant workers were employed in typically labour-intensive sectors such as construction. Along the same lines, it is estimated that immigration contributed by one third to the housing boom of 1998-2008, in terms of prices and also new construction.7
The flow of immigration and emigration changed suddenly when the Spanish economy entered the recession in 2008. It has been calculated that, every year since 2009, around 400,000 people have left Spain while, in the period 2002-2005, this figure remained at 50,000 on average. Spain has seen several marked waves of emigration in its past (such as the emigration to America in the 19th century and early 20th, movements due to the Civil War and emigration to developed Europe in the 1960s and 70s), so this phenomenon is not new. Although these figures have caused some alarm due to fears that the most highly qualified young people are leaving the country, the so-called «brain drain», a slightly more sophisticated analysis reveals that most of those who have emigrated are foreigners and mainly the immigrants who had arrived with the migratory wave of 1998-2007.
In particular, out of the 352,003 people who emigrated from Spain in 2015, only 64,136 had been born in the country. The extent of the emigration of young Spaniards born in Spain is therefore smaller than we might suppose on first looking at the statistics (they account for just 18% of all emigrants). However, it should be noted that this number has more than doubled since 2009 with France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Argentina being the main countries chosen by such emigrants.8
As in the case of immigration, emigration also has notable consequences for the country of origin. Continued flows of emigration could limit the growth potential of the Spanish economy and aggravate the problems entailed by its ageing population. In particular, the emigration of young skilled workers reduces the size of the skilled labour force, which could erode growth in productivity and, ultimately, economic activity.9 In the case of Spain, the emigration rate among skilled workers in 2011 was among the lowest in the OECD, specifically 2.8%, in contrast with advanced economies such as France, Sweden, the Netherlands and United Kingdom with rates of 6%, 7%, 8% and 11%, respectively.10 Moreover, a recent study by the Bank of Spain states that, as from 2011, the share of lower qualified people has risen among the population of emigrants born in Spain.11 These findings suggest that emigration is not limiting growth in production capacity, at least at present. Nevertheless it is a phenomenon that needs to be monitored closely as the emigration of young Spaniards will probably continue for some time yet, as is the case in most of the developed economies.
Lastly, it should also be noted that many people who have emigrated in the last few years will probably end up returning. In a recent analysis, the OECD estimated that between 20% and 50% of the immigrants received by a country leave within the first five years of their arrival, either to return home or to go on to another country.12 Spain, which is already posting notable rates of growth in economic activity and employment, should be able to offer those who have emigrated enough opportunities for professional and personal development for them to want to return.

Fall is a perfect time to remodel your home and carpet can be a great flooring option to give your home a fresh clean look. Why not spruce your home up for the winter as you will be spending more time there. Carpet adds value, style, and a warm feel to your home. Carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.
Residential Carpet
Indoor air quality is more important than ever. The EPA reports that we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors. Carpet improves indoor air quality by trapping dust and allergens in the carpet, which are removed through vacuuming. Certifications like Green Label Plus certify that brand of carpet is a low emitter of volatile organic compounds.
Easy Cleaning: Carpet is easier to clean than most other types of flooring. Carpet mainly needs regular vacuuming and perhaps an annual deep spring cleaning. That’s all it takes to keep your carpet looking great and lasting for its intended life.
Style Options: Carpet offers many options to create the look you’ve always wanted. Lighter color options allow you make an area appear more open, while darker colors give an area room more coziness. You can choose a style of carpet that relates to comfort as well.
Noise Reduction: Stereos, TVs, phones, kids, pets and computers can make all kinds of noise. Carpeting is very effective in absorbing these sounds. Carpet padding beneath your carpet reduces the sounds even more. Carpet provides a barrier between floors by helping to block sound to the rooms below.
Broadloom carpet absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings. As versatile camouflage, broadloom goes over any existing floor, with no need for a new sub-floor, and it hides uneven surfaces and existing floor damage.Ask around to friends, family, neighbors, or online to see what company is right for you. I think you will find out soon enough that Coventry Carpets is the name that keeps popping up.
Coventry Carpets guarantees their carpet installation and takes pride in their work.

Our Verdict
The weak combat and MMO padding hurt the experience, but The Secret World has innovation, atmosphere and charm.
It's always disappointing to see a new MMO stick religiously to the framework forged by previous games. To its credit, The Seon tried, tested, but unoriginal ideas that it does itself the most harm.
Whether you choose the power-hungry Illuminati, the evil-vanquishing Templars or the chaotic Dragon faction, the story starts when you swallow a magic bee. Gaia is on a recruitment drive, sending o its story. Throughout, there's a resigned pragmatism to the characters you meet – the tonal equivalent to a shrug of the shoulders and a “meh, just go with it.”
Each main mission, whether integral to the central plot or your chosen faction, or specific to a particular character, is introduced with a cutscene monologue. Each scene has a wit and flow that keeps it engaging. Broad horror caricatures are given the chance to grandstand in an environment where, whether they're waxing philosophical, crazily conspiratorial or just generally unhinged, their fears and paranoia are all real.
(opens in new tab)
The game is never precious with its fiction, and it's refreshing to see a zombie apocalypse that isn't afraid to namecheck Left 4 Dead. While Funcom definitely front-load their best characters for the opening town of Kingsmouth, I'm yet to hit the point of wanting to skip past the dialogue to get on with the quest.
What doesn't quite work is the silent protagonist you play. It's an understandable omission given the amount of voice-acting already in the game, but as with everything else, the script continually draws attention to your silence. This constant lampshading only serves to alienate you from the experience. More problematic is your complete lack of expression. Your avatar is a wooden stump, standing blankly in scene for people to talk at. I had a moment of genuine shock when my character accepted a mint some 35+ hours into the game. She didn't accept a second. That would have been much too exciting.
In places, The Secret World has some of the best mission design I've seen in an MMO. Your main quests are broken up into three basic types: action, investigation and sabotage. You'll also find plenty of side-missions littered around the map, taking the form of fetch quests where you have to examine your surroundings and explore various places, hunting for the objective.
It's the investigation missions that frequently provide the most fun. They're puzzles, often realised as mini-Alternate Reality Games that require you to step out of the game world and use the internet to find clues to your next goal. (A web browser can be brought up in-game with the B key.) I've studied Bible passages that pointed me to the right Secret World NPC, found real websites using in-game business cards, and deciphered Morse code for clues. OK, technically my smartphone did the last one.
(opens in new tab)
There is the occasional instance on the dreaded adventure-game logic, where the goal is more working out what the developers intended than what the clues point you to. One bizarre mission could only be finished by me killing my character and completing it in anima form, the state you exist in before respawning.
Despite such occasional quirks, there's an immense satisfaction to be gained from solving these puzzles. Communal puzzle solving, moreover, is a clever way to encourage friends to group together in a more meaningful way than a straight series of fights. Assuming of course, that you don't simply Google directly for the quest solution, negating the whole investigation.
Sabotage missions, meanwhile, are light on the puzzles, but tend to lean heavily on exploration and discovery. They also include stealth sections. These at least attempt something different in the MMO world, but are too wonky in execution to succeed. Set in basements full of security cameras and laser traps, the premise of these missions is that triggering either will cause the room to explode. The problem is that the detection AI is erratic: cameras fail to realise they shouldn't be able to see through the box you're hiding behind, and blow the room anyway.
Mission-breaking bugs can also halt your progress by not triggering the next stage of a quest. These bugs seem to exist only on specific servers, with Cerberus, the server my main character lives on, being the most frequently affected. It's a rare problem, but one that clashes with the natural speed-bumps of the puzzles. Is a quest bugged, or in need of solving? For the moment, it can be hard to tell.
(opens in new tab)
It's the action missions that provide the weakest link. There's some variety, but for the most part they're taken straight from the MMO kiln, moulded as usual. Head to a place, kill some things, trigger a unique variant of that thing. Typically these missions make up the bulk of your game time, and as you progress to new areas, you'll receive the same objectives, just with different monsters.
That the locations are so interesting goes a long way to make up for the padding. Secret World's warped yet real-world setting makes a big difference to the tone and atmosphere of a genre typified by elven treehouses and twee medieval villages. Instead, you'll visit brooding forests, haunted theme parks, infested mines and many more horror-inspired locations.
In its own peculiar way, the environment is often extremely colourful: apocalyptic reds, infected greens, septic blues and a whole host of neat art design choices straight from Cthulhu's own Crayola collection. That The Secret World forgoes the usual cartoony MMO design does take its toll on the technical side, however. Each of the areas, even the later stages in Egypt, are covered in a dense fog that does its best to hide low draw distances and enemy pop-in. It can't help but dilute the experience.
Perhaps most disappointing is that some areas feel like wasted opportunities. Throughout the second map, The Savage Coast, a shaft of light rotates overhead from the lighthouse in the bottom corner. The main mission when you finally arrive at this ever-present landmark? Trawl the surrounding area killing five of this, ten of that and fifteen of the other.
(opens in new tab)
It doesn't help that the combat is so uninspired. It's not bad as much as perfunctory. Average. You hit the number keys of your hotbar in a repeat pattern as your character chip, chip, chips away at the enemy's health bar. Build Focus, which allows you to perform special moves, then dodge an attack, then repeat. As you progress through the levels, the mobs don't get more challenging, they just take more time to kill.
It was only a few hours in before I started blatantly gaming the system. Weaving a path between the attack triggers of mobs, sprinting through sections until my trail of pursuers tapered off, stepping up for an attack only when absolutely necessary.
At least the group dungeons make things more interesting. There, monsters can utilise the environment, electrocuting standing water, for example, to restrict the movement of players.
It's strange that the solo instances rarely take the same approach. Enter certain buildings or caves as part of a quest and you can trigger plot-heavy one-man areas that advance the story of your character. It's a more naturalistic system than The Old Republic's giant green and red barriers, but the monsters inside mirror the patterns of those in the open world. It took the entirety of the lengthy Solomon Island plot strand before I finally had an interesting boss fight.
Criminally, the combat even dampens The Secret World's most striking departure from the MMO norm: the removal of classes and levelling. Instead, XP gained from kills and quests is put towards ability points and skill points, which are generated at the same rate throughout the game.
(opens in new tab)
Ability points dictate the attacks and passive bonuses you can use. Seven of each can be equipped at any one time in a customisable deck that makes up your character's build. These skills are bought by means of the ability wheel – a branching list of weapon-specific actions and traits that can be swapped in and out of active use at any time.
The game attempts to direct you, by providing faction-specific decks to follow. Despite this, the open nature of the system is evident. My Paladin build could be followed by any player of any faction, but only the Templar agents would get the special outfit rewarded for completing a deck.
In solo PvE it makes for subtle shifts rather than dramatic changes to your attack style. There's a lot of wastage, as the more expensive highpowered attacks are only available by first buying all the lower branch abilities for that weapon, followed by all the preceding ones on that particular segment. Your optimal attack patterns will remain unchanged for large periods of time, punctuated by occasional experimentation and alterations.
When grouping, the amount of extra, seemingly redundant attacks you collect start to make sense. When my party's healer dropped out during one dungeon run, we were able to cobble together enough spare abilities to take the strain. Similarly, each person had a couple of threat-generating actions. Not enough to fully switch to tanking, but a helpful backup if the need arose.
(opens in new tab)
The system breeds a lack of specialisation and definition, but the freedom to shift into whatever gap needs filling makes for a welcome change. Combined with the user-friendly grouping system – which lets you join up and play with friends regardless of what server or faction they occupy – it ensures playing with others is easy and enjoyable.
Your skill points, meanwhile, act as a granular and customisable levelling system, allowing you to put points into weapons or stat boosting talisman items. The higher the point level, the better quality equipment you can equip, and it's this equipment that decides the power of your character.
Given the scarcity of shops in the game, you'll need to create most of the weapons and equipment yourself. Crafting isn't complicated, just needlessly obtuse. Unwanted weapons and items can be disassembled into metal and elemental components. These can then be upgraded into better quality versions which, when combined with a toolkit of a specific level, will create the item you need. But actually doing this requires you to make the crude shape of the object in the blueprint panel. It's like someone looked at Team Fortress 2's metal crafting and thought it would be neat if there was a memory test at the end.
The Secret World's faction system feels underdeveloped. Whether you choose Illuminati, Templars or Dragon, your experience will be broadly the same. Despite each having a separate starting location, used to pick up the small number of faction-specific quests you'll encounter, the main drive of the plot is identical for each character. The idea that each side exists in an uneasy truce is only really explored in PvP.
(opens in new tab)
There's no open-world PvP, so combat takes place on two objective-based battlefields and the Fusang Projects warzone. While the hundreds of players clashing over the warzone can be an impressive sight, the whole thing feels like an afterthought, tacked on because it's an MMO requirement. Ironically, the reason it doesn't work is the same ability wheel that makes PvE grouping so good. With no set class definitions, it can be impossible to predict the tricks your opponent is bringing to a fight, making each encounter a gamble.
Also lacking, at least for now, is the endgame content available when players eventually finish the story. Currently there are nightmare-difficulty dungeons for players to tackle, but the direction taken with future updates will determine how long it's worth renewing your subscription for.
Perhaps tellingly, there's already a microtransaction store for cosmetic items. Whether that's a hint of the game's ultimate direction, or just a sign that people are happy to pay for bunny slippers, remains to be seen. At the moment, it's not enough to keep me playing beyond the conclusion of the story, and I'd imagine all but the most hardcore of stat-tweakers would feel the same – especially with PvP so flimsy. If Funcom don't apply some serious and quick work to the endgame, then don't bother renewing your subscription after your second month, when the story and dungeons have run their course.
The Secret World shows a lot of ambition. The story is engaging, the setting atmospheric and the user-friendly core systems are a welcome progression. I'm happy to forgive – even celebrate – the things it attempts, even when they don't work as well as intended. But it still feels uncomfortably shackled to familiar MMO compromises, and you'll spend much of your time trudging through the same tiresome genre filler: the padding of content and lackluster combat are both things done better by other games in the genre. That it's still worth a look is testament to the quality of what it does get right.

With Rare Speed, Gene Editing Emerges as Biotech’s New Cutting Edge – Barron’s
Illustration by Marcus Marritt
The Nobel Prize got Wall Street’s attention. On Oct. 7, the Swedish Academy awarded 2020’s Nobel in chemistry to two scientists for the development of Crispr-Cas9—a molecular scissors that can find and edit almost any sequence in a cell’s DNA. The 2012 discovery by Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna had been commercialized with rare speed, and the Nobel was a boost for three companies founded to develop Crispr gene-editing therapies:
Crispr Therapeutics,
Intellia Therapeutics,
and
Editas Medicine.
The three gene-editing stocks have more than doubled in the past few months, reaching a total market value above $23 billion.
Crispr-Cas9 is the second generation of technologies that seek to repair thousands of inherited genetic disorders and battle cancer in new ways. Gene editing is advancing so quickly that next-generation technologies are already on the heels of Crispr-Cas9, including a more-precise tool called base editing, which has lifted the stock of
Beam Therapeutics
(ticker: BEAM) sixfold since its February 2020 initial public offering.
While gene-editing start-ups will lose money during years of clinical trials, it’s hard to say the stocks are overvalued. If their one-time interventions can cure diseases that otherwise require chronic treatment—or lack any treatment at all—then the stocks will fly. Patent rights and know-how also make them desirable partners or acquisition targets for Big Pharma. Premiums of 100% were paid in deals for first-generation gene-therapy start-ups, like the
Novartis
(NVS) purchase of AveXis in 2018 and
Roche Holding’s
(RHHBY) 2019 acquisition of Spark Therapeutics.
The breakthroughs made possible by gene editing were shown in the Jan. 6 news that base editing had repaired a genetic defect in lab mice suffering from progeria, a disorder that prematurely ages and kills children born with the mutation.
“The median life span of these children is just 14 years,” says David Liu, a Harvard University chemistry professor and gene-editing pioneer at the Broad Institute and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, who led the research with a team that includes National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins. “We’re very excited about a potential one-time treatment for progeria that directly corrects the root cause of the disease instead of treating its symptoms.” Of course, researchers must now prove that the treatment will work in humans.
Researchers began to propose ways to fix genetic diseases nearly 50 years ago. Genetic instructions are spelled out in our DNA with an alphabet of four molecules known as bases and designated by the first letters of their chemical names: A, T, G, and C. The bases pair up—A with T, G with C—to form the three billion letter pairs of our genome. Specific sequences encode for specific genes, which in turn provide instructions for assembling specific proteins. If a mutation scrambles the letters, however, the instructions can become garbled and yield a different version of the protein that causes disease. Genetic therapies seek to correct these errors.
Gene-therapy experiments began in the 1990s, but it took until 2017 for the Food and Drug Administration to approve the first one—the Spark/Roche treatment Luxturna for a genetic defect that leads to blindness. The second FDA approval was for Zolgensma, an AveXis/Novartis therapy for a muscle-wasting disease. Both diseases are rare. But at over $2 million per treatment, Zolgensma sales in the latest quarter were running at a $1.2 billion annual rate. Novartis believes that sales will top $2 billion in 2021.
Most first-generation gene therapies use a hollowed-out virus to carry synthetic versions of a gene into cells. The transferred gene isn’t integrated into the cellular DNA, but the cell can still use the instructions to produce functional versions of the missing protein.
Hundreds of such gene-augmentation therapies are in clinical trials.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical
(BMRN),
UniQure
(QURE), and
Pfizer
(PFE) are each in Phase 3 trials on therapies to treat hemophilia, the bleeding disorder resulting from a mutation in the gene for a blood-clotting protein. Pfizer is also racing
Sarepta Therapeutics
(SRPT) to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy with transferred genes that can produce working versions of a muscle protein that patients can’t produce.
Pfizer is making a big bet on these gene-transfer therapies, with three clinical trials that could lead to approvals in the next few years. Manufacturing capacity will be critical, says Seng Cheng, the chief scientific officer of Pfizer’s rare disease division. Each muscular dystrophy patient must be transfused with trillions of copies of the gene-ferrying viruses, so Pfizer is investing in a North Carolina manufacturing facilities The company hopes to launch an approved product by 2023.
Each of its gene therapies could generate at least a billion dollars in annual sales, says Pfizer. The president of Pfizer’s rare disease group, Suneet Varma, says U.S. regulators expect to be approving 10 to 20 genetic therapies a year by 2025. “There could be 100 of these on the market in the U.S. by the end of the decade,” Varma says.
These gene-replacement therapies have limitations, however. Their effect wears off as children grow, or in parts of the body with high cell turnover, since transferred genes aren’t integrated in the genome and are left behind as cells divide. As a result, these expensive treatments might need to be repeated every few years. A patient’s immune system may then develop antibodies against the delivery viruses. And with gene-transfer therapy so new, its durability remains an open question.
Falling levels of clotting protein generated by BioMarin’s hemophilia therapy led the FDA to insist on another year of trials before the agency would consider approving it; BioMarin shares lost a third of their value in August after the news. Sarepta’s stock lost half on Jan. 8, after disappointing interim data on its muscular dystrophy gene-transfer therapy.
“
That ability to discriminate a single address, based on a certain sequence out of thgenome, it doesn’t appear to suffer from these issues. Nature evolved many tools to cut DNA at specific spots in the genome. As scientists discovered these tools, they became the foundations of public companies:
Sangamo Therapeutics
(SGMO) has mastered tools known as zinc finger nucleases, which it is using in collaborations with Pfizer, Novartis, and
Biogen
(BIIB). Both
Cellectis
(CLLS) and
Allogene Therapeutics
(ALLO) use tools like meganucleases and Talens to develop therapies for cancer, as does
Bluebird bio
(BLUE) in its advanced trials against sickle-cell anemia and cancer. Bluebird announced this past week that it would split into two companies, one pursuing cancer and the other, rare diseases.
The most widely used tool for targeted DNA editing is Crispr-Cas9. Derived from a mechanism that bacteria evolved to recognize and destroy invading viruses, the tool pairs the DNA-cutting protein Cas9 with a strand of RNA that goes by the name of Crispr. RNA normally carries genetic information from DNA to the cellular factories that assemble proteins. Because RNA mates with a complementary sequence of DNA, RNA “guides” can be written to direct the Cas molecular scissors to almost any genomic address.
“That ability to discriminate a single address, based on a certain sequence out of three billion letters in the genome—that is still kind of a magical outcome,” says Beam Therapeutics chief executive John Evans.
Gene editing has proved adept at permanently dof DNA. Natural repair processes of the cell then rejoin the cut ends. However, the repair process is error-prone, and often inserts or deletes a base-pair letter. That can be a good thing, if inserts and deletions render a toxic gene inactive.

Although Crispr is faster and cheaper, zinc fingers and Talens can also be programmed to target and cut with precision. Nonetheless, the stocks that use them—Sangamo, Allogene, Cellectis, Bluebird bio—lack Crispr’s sizzle. That makes them a cheaper way to participate in a gene-editing boom.
Crispr Therapeutics (CRSP), Editas (EDIT), and Intellia (NTLA) all came public in 2016, endowed with licenses for the technology from Doudna’s University of California, Berkeley and Charpentier’s University of Vienna (she has since moved to Berlin’s Max Planck Society), or the Broad Institute. Each company has about a half-dozen programs. And they’ve raised lots of cash.
The market favorite is Crispr Therapeutics, co-founded by Charpentier, with a $13.8 billion valuation at its recent stock price of $212. It is in trials with a treatment that infuses cancer patients with tumor-targeting immune cells. This year, Crispr plans another trial of edited cells to treat diabetes. And it’s well along in trials treating one of the most common genetic disorders, sickle cell. With 100,000 Americans suffering from the disease, and 4,000 more born each year, Chardan Capital Markets analyst Geulah Livshits sees an annual demand for at least 3,000 one-time treatments a year, at more than $1.6 million per treatment.
Crispr Therapeutics CEO Samarth Kulkarni believes that gene editing will outperform gene-transfer therapies. “Gene therapy, while exciting, may only be a five- to 10-year solution,” Kulkarni says. “Gene editing is hopefully a lifelong solution.”
His company burned through some $160 million in the first nine months of 2020, but it has over $1.5 billion in cash, and partners like
Bayer
(BAYN.Germany) and
Vertex Pharmaceuticals
(VRTX) to share development costs.
Vertex was one of the first companies to bet on Crispr, after gene therapies struggled with a genetic disorder that has been Vertex’s focus, cystic fibrosis. Vertex and Crispr Therapeutics are now developing editing therapies for cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and blood disorders such as sickle cell and beta thalassemia. Vertex science chief David Altshuler likes the versatility of gene editing, where the same therapy can be deployed against both sickle cell and thalassemia.
Editas and Intellia have more modest market caps of about $5 billion each. Editas has one therapy in trials, a treatment for a retinal disorder, and plans to start trials in sickle cell, thalassemia, and off-the-shelf cell therapies against cancer.
Reprogramming DNA
These biotech start-ups use a handful of powerful new tools to repair genetic mistakes.

Intellia is also targeting sickle cell, in United Kingdom trials backed by Novartis. Partnering with
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
(REGN), Intellia has also started trials of the first editing therapy systemically infused into patients—aiming to knock out a mutant gene that makes a misfolded form of the protein transthyretin, whose buildup slowly kills. Data may start appearing in 2021. Like progeria, the disorder can’t be addressed by gene therapy, since the mutant gene would keep producing mutant transthyretin and dominate the output of transferred healthy genes.
Sickle-Cell Math
Therapies for genetic diseases are often pricey, producing potentially large markets.
$4.8 B
Some 100,000 Americans suffer from sickle-cell anemia, a blood disease. Analysts estimate annual demand of 3,000 treatments at $1.6 million per patient.
Chardan’s Livshits covers all three Crispr stocks and rates each a Buy. “They’ve all gone in slightly different directions,” she says. But gene editing promises permanence, which she sees as an advantage.
Other analysts find valuations of the gene editors hard to rationalize, and have price targets well below where Nobel enthusiasm has carried the stocks. And if scarcity value is fueling enthusiasm, competition is coming. Nobel laureate Doudna is advising ventures that have yet to come public, including Scribe Therapeutics, Caribou Biosciences, and Mammoth Biosciences. Raymond James analyst Steven Seedhouse rates Crispr Therapeutics at Underperform, arguing that its lofty price overvalues the advantages of Crispr-Cas over other technologies. He thinks that Editas has gotten ahead of itself, and he rates it a Market Performer. Only the lowest valued Intellia is an Outperform in Seedhouse’s view.
As bullish as most investors are about Crispr-Cas stocks, they seem more excited about Beam. Despite starting four years after the other companies and trailing them into the clinic, Beam has a market cap of $5.7 billion, at a recent stock price of $107, which values it above Intellia and Editas.
Beam was launched by Liu and other co-founders of Editas to commercialize base editing, an even more precise form of Crispr-guided repair that came out of Liu’s lab in 2016. When a disorder results from a single incorrect base letter in a gene—and about 30% of known genetic problems are caused by such point mutations—base editing can swap a C and a T, or an A and a G, to correct the problem. And unlike other gene editors, it does not cut both DNA strands.
“The only thing the Crispr-Cas editors can do well is to cut DNA,” says Beam CEO Evans. “They can’t really control what happens to the cut after they’ve made it. With base editing, we change a single base and it’s as if the cells don’t notice they’ve been edited.”
After spending some $70 million in cash in the nine months through September, Beam still has over $300 million in cash. It is targeting several disorders pursued by gene-editing predecessors, including sickle cell, for which it hopes to start trials this year.
Base editing can address problems unreachable by other genetic technologies, like progeria. A single injection corrected the progeria gene’s errant T to a C in mice. Crispr-Cas DNA cutters might target the patient’s other healthy gene copy, which differs by just one letter from the toxic version. In mice, Crispr-Cas edits of the gene achieved modest results.
On the horizon are even newer gene-editing strategies. Base editing corrects only single-point mutations. Crispr-Cas technology can efficiently disrupt targeted genes, but so far it hasn’t lived up to hopes that it could reliably insert desirable stretches of code into a gene. In 2019, Liu’s lab showed a way to do that, with a technology called prime editing.
Prime editing can insert, delete, or replace a sequence of several dozen base pairs at a precise location. That might be what’s needed to permanently fix certain kinds of cystic fibrosis. Prime editors can also swap base pairs that base editing can’t, which is why Beam has licensed prime technology for a treatment that would repair sickle cell more directly than other therapies.
Prime editing can’t yet work efficiently in some kinds of cells, though Liu thinks that it will eventually allow therapies to address nearly 90% of pathogenic mutations.
To target still larger insertions and deletions, researchers are interested in how bacteria shuffle big chunks of DNA, using mechanisms called transposases and recombinases. Researchers like Liu have shown that recombinases can manipulate large segments of DNA in mammalian cells, but only in a restricted set of locations in the genome.
The technologies have caught the eye of one of the savviest venture investors in biotech, Noubar Afeyan. His Cambridge, Mass.–based Flagship Pioneering launched Covid-19 vaccine developer
Moderna
(MRNA). Last year, Flagship unveiled a start-up called Tessera Therapeutics that hopes to use transposases to cut and paste entire genes. “What if you could directly paste an entire sentence, as opposed to the Liquid Paper equivalent of changing one letter on a typewriter?” Afeyan asks.
Neither Tessera nor other labs have yet shown that transposases can home in on a wide variety of DNA targets, at least in cells more complex than bacteria. But Tessera CEO Geoffrey von Maltzahn says his company will show that it can add new genes that won’t be left behind when a cell divides. That might allow therapies to be used in infants, instead of waiting until a child’s growth slows, as gene therapy must generally do. On Jan. 12, Tessera announced a $230 million infusion from investors that included
SoftBank Group,
the Alaska Permanent Fund, and the Qatar Investment Authority.
There will be uses for all of these genetic tools, says Liu. “There are non-Crispr base editors and nucleases that are widely used,” he says. “In reality, nucleases, base editors, and prime editors all have their own strengths and weaknesses, depending on the specific application.”

Of course, investors can’t expect to see profits at these gene-editing ventures for some time. Clinical trials in gene-transfer therapies have dragged on longer than anyone expected, with the FDA imposing repeated halts to investigate potential safety issues. Gene-editing trials may not see approvals until 2023 or 2024.
As with gene-transfer therapies, revenues of $1 million to $2 million per treatment do add up, even for rare diseases. In developed markets, populations with a particular genetic disorder may number in the hundreds or thousands, creating billion-dollar opportunities for each disease. After those existing populations are cared for, annual sales would taper to the rate that new cases emerge.
Pfizer is discussing payment plans with government and private payers, even though the company has yet to win approval for its gene-transfer therapies. Pfizer’s Varma says that government payers are considering pay-for-performance plans or annuity models that spread payments over a number of years. Insurers have discussed risk-pooling plans for genetic diseases.
The drug industry will see its financial model change, says Varma, as one-time treatments replace chronic sales. “Traditional pharmaceutical products tend to hit their peaks in the last three or four years before a loss of exclusivity,” he says. “Gene therapies could be the reverse, meaning you hit your peak in the first three years.”
Although gene-editing stocks have shot through price targets, the examples of many biotechs show how hard it is to pick an entry point with new technology platforms. Smart investors may be waiting for a lull in the scientific news. But an acquisitive pharma company may be waiting, too.

It’s cover reveal day at Mixed-Up Files, and we’re so excited! Today we get to reveal the cover for Meg Eden Kuyatt’s middle-grade debut: GOOD DIFFERENT.
Here it is!
Okay, okay, I’m just playing. That’s not exactly it …. and I PROMISE I really will show you in just a moment. t’s AMAZING and I’m chomping at the bit to share …. in just a minute or two.
When we do a cover reveal here at Mixed-Up Files, before we show you the art, we love the chance to hear from the wonderful creators who turn an author’s themes and characters into covers that will lure readers to pick up the book. For GOOD DIFFERENT, that artist was Luna Valentine.
Meet Illustrator Luna Valentine
MUF: How did you decide which story elements to focus on for this cover?
LV: I’ve had a lot of input and help from an incredible design team. We’ve explored a lot of different ideas and in the end had a wide variety of ideas to choose from. I think early on the phrase “be a dragon” stood out to me personally and I tried to incorporate it as a design element in every idea we worked on. It’s really empowering to be a dragon.
MUF: Which elements did you enjoy working with the most?
LV: My absolute favourite part was the character design. I feel like you can connect to a story on a whole new level if you connect with the protagonist, and from the moment I got the character description of Selah I could just picture her so clearly in my head. Now getting her to look exactly like she did in my head was a challenge but it was so much fun.
MUF: What is your artistic process for cover art?
LV: Usually I start with super rough, teeny tiny sketches straight away after reading the brief, just to get my initial ideas down on paper. Then I’ll do an in depth character design, usually with a bunch of different hair styles, clothing choices, maybe even a couple of different expressions. I draw the character in a lot of different poses. The first sketches are always so stiff and lifeless, but when you get into it, and allow yourself the time to experiment with different ideas, different designs and even make some mistakes, your sketches will finally start looking the way you want them to. I think the key is not to spend too much time on artwork at first and then go back and refine it over days, even weeks until it starts looking the way you want it to.
MUF: What do you enjoy about illustrating cover artwork in general?
LV: Honestly my favourite part is seeing it in print, on a shelf in a book shop or on my doorstep. I love the feeling of a new book. And knowing I helped to create it is so satisfying.
About Luna:
Luna is a Polish children’s book illustrator, living in Nottingham, UK.
She works digitally, finding inspiration in folk tales, video games, cute Japanese food, under her bed and other places nobody thinks to look. Her art has been described as humorous, quirky and colorful. At Nottingham Trent University she studied Graphic Design and went on to receive her Masters in Illustration. Luna has worked with a variety of clients including Paper Rose, Paperchase and Arteza. When Luna is not drawing, you can find her traveling the world to find the perfect cup of coffee.

The Cover Reveal
And now for the moment we’ve all been waiting for … drum roll …. the real thing! Here’s the cover for GOOD DIFFERENT, by Meg Eden Kuyatt.
About GOOD DIFFERENT
A extraordinary novel-in-verse for fans of Starfish and A Kind of Spark about a neurodivergent girl who comes to understand and celebrate her difference.
Selah knows her rules for being normal.
She always, always sticks to them. This means keeping her feelings locked tightly inside, despite the way they build up inside her as each school day goes on, so that she has to run to the bathroom and hide in the stall until she can calm down. So that she has to tear off her normal-person mask the second she gets home from school, and listen to her favorite pop song on repeat, trying to recharge. Selah feels like a dragon stuck in a world of humans, but she knows how to hide it.
Until the day she explodes and hits a fellow student.
Selah’s friends pull away from her, her school threatens expulsion, and her comfortable, familiar world starts to crumble.
But as Selah starts to figure out more about who she is, she comes to understand that different doesn’t mean damaged. Can she get her school to understand that, too, before it’s too late?
Meet Author Meg Eden Kuyatt
MUF: Did you get to weigh in on any of these details in this cover art?
MEK: I gave a description of Selah (the protagonist) and some ideas of what I was envisioning, as well as styles I liked. My main comment was that I really wanted a dragon integrated into the cover—and I LOVE how Luna did this!
MUF: Is there one element of this illustration that stands out in particular for you as the author or that resonates with favorite parts of your story?
MEK: My favorite parts are Selah’s dragon wings. I love how they’re built out of all these things Selah learns in the novel, like the sensory tools she discovers (like earplugs and sunglasses), or how she rethinks words she’s grown up hearing, like “weird.” I really love how it shows that the tools Selah learns about empower her, like dragon wings! I can’t imagine a better image that captures the heart of this story!
MUF: Anything else you would like to tell us about your cover and why it is special to you?
MEK: I really didn’t have ideas for the cover, or a specific way I envisioned it, but it was really important to me that it would pull in kids who, like Selah, may also have a special interest in dragons. So I was incredibly happy to see this cover, which captured what I wanted, even though I didn’t know how to express it! It gives a magical touch (because writing is magic!) but still tells us this is a contemporary story, that you can find those little glimmers of magic in the real world. I’m in love with my cover!
MUF: Congratulations, and we’re so excited to read GOOD DIFFERENT!

The SOFREP Crate Club operates a little differently than most other subscription based gear clubs. The question we get asked a-lot is ‘what type of gear do you get each month?’ We have done a previous article highlighting what has been sent out in the first quarter this year to give you an idea of the type of gear. Each month is a surprise as to what you’re going to get. All you need to know is that the gear guys behind the scenes are working to get you the best piece of gear for what you pay each month.
For the month of August the item was a folding knife by Gerber. More specifically the Gerber Evo. The Gerber Evo is a lightweight folder that disappears in your pocket. The knife does have a deep carry pocket clip, but I personally prefer to just drop it in my pocket. By carrying a concealed fixed blade and then dropping the Evo into my pocket gives me a great low-vis option. Due to the extreme lightweight of the Evo and it’s slim design, it sits nice inside the pocket.
The blade has a nice clean profile and should be easy to hone and sharpen. There is some confusion with the type of steel used, so I’m not going to get into that debate here. From what I can tell it’s a teflon coated stainless steel blade. I will tell you this; I carried a Gerber folding knife during my active duty days in the Marine Corps and never had an issue with the integrity of the blade steel or keeping it sharp. The bottom line is, if you take care of your gear it will take care of you.
Gerber Evo Clip Point Blade
What I like best about this knife is the handle. The handle is an anodized aluminum with cut-outs that honestly give you a decent grip on the handle. Over time the aluminum will start to wear giving the knife a used/distressed look (kinda cool in my opinion).
Anodized Aluminum Handle
In a pinch you could use this knife as a self defense weapon due to the blade length and handle design. I would not consider this knife a hard-use folder for tactical use, but if you want a reliable everyday carry knife for utility tasks that is easy to carry, the Evo may be the answer for you.

“The Stifel Marcin team has truly become an extension of our team. They have helped create internal brand alignment and have consistently delivered strategic and thoughtful marketing solutions that drive leads, build brand awareness and loyalty.” – Marie
Sometimes overlooked when creating a PPC ads strategy, Microsoft’s Bing accounts for a large share of the search engine market. Considering that most employees use a company-issued PC that uses MS operating systems (including Bing as the default search engine), and that Bing is used by 55 percent of decision-makers in the coveted 35-64 age bracket, you may find this search engine is a beneficial place to make an ad investment. If it aligns with your business goals, our Bing Ads management service can help you reach more users.
Let’s Talk.
We’d love to hear your story and how we can help your business succeed.

Benefits of a Bing Ads Management Service
Our team will work with you to define your marketing goals, audience personas and business objectives to craft the best PPC ads strategy for your organization. Before we launch any campaign, the first step in our Bing Ads management service is a discovery process where we collaborate with your team to learn about your products, services, plans and KPIs. We’ll then utilize that understanding to communicate your brand’s uniqueness to the marketplace.
Microsoft Advertising (also known as Bing advertising) allows users the ability to run a campaign not just on Bing, but on other Microsoft-owned properties like AOL and Yahoo, providing organizations the opportunity to reach additional audiences. Our expert Bings Ads management service can target your prospective customers based on a variety of factors so your B2B business reaches the right users, including:
Location
Device type
Demographics
Time of day
A key advantage over Google advertising is the ability to target LinkedIn audiences with Bing ads. Since Microsoft owns LinkedIn too, and it’s a key tool for B2B marketers, you’ll be able to also target specific companies, industries or job functions.
If you have campaigns with Google Ads or Facebook Ads , we can import these campaigns directly into Microsoft Advertising. If you have a customer and/or prospect list, we can target those individuals on the Microsoft Search Network. Microsoft Advertising also offers the ability to automatically create “similar audiences” using attributes like those individuals on your remarketing list to find users who are similar to your target audience
Microsoft offers a variety of ad formats including expanded text ads, multimedia ads, product ads and more, and Stifel Marcin has the expertise to develop creative and ad copy that is effective and gets your ads noticed. Our content and design teams will create engaging messaging and eye-catching visuals to encourage your targets to click, driving traffic to your company website.
Drive Potential Customers Back to Your Website
When people visit your website but leave before they complete a desired action (like completing an email sign up or downloading a whitepaper), our Bing Ads management service can help you reach these users by adding them to a remarketing list. Our team will work to create remarketing messages relevant to that customer’s journey to reconnect with them and encourage them to act.
Bing Ads Keep Your Budget In Mind
Because fewer businesses utilize Microsoft Ads, there is often less keyword competition. Lower overall traffic to the site means it’s easier to get to the right target audience and get traffic, sometimes without spending more. For optimal results, our digital team also continually monitors data from your campaign and adjusts accordingly, including:
Click-through-rates (CTRs)
Cost-per-click (CPC)
Ongoing performance
Traffic impact
Conversion rates
Overall click quality
Expand Your Reach with a Dedicated Bing Ads Management Service
At Stifel Marcin, our only focus is B2B. With 20 years of experience and an integrated digital marketing approach, we can create a Microsoft Advertising strategy that fits your budget. If you are ready to start growing your PPC strategy, including Facebook, LinkedIn or Google advertising, contact us and let’s get started.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but I have something to share I believe will help the husbands (and wives too).
Debi and I were shopping not long ago when something happened that surprised me. Debi was on one aisle, and I had gone back to get something we missed off the list. That’s when it happened. A lady was offering samples and seemed to focus all of her attention on me. She was friendly – lots of people are friendly, but she went out of her way to insist I try the product she was sampling. She joked, she laughed. I talked with her only for a minute as she handed me a free sample and that was it. I found Debi, and we checked out. But I knew what had happened felt different.
But what DID happen? Nothing, really.
When we got in the car I told Debi about it. I said it felt like she was flirting with me, and I wanted her (Debi) to know. We talked more, Debi asked me a few questions helping me see if I was right about the whole thing.
A few days later the Lord prompted me with this thought: You enjoyed her attention.
What?! I did? This thought made me uncomfortable to say the least, because I love my wife. But the more I thought about, the more I saw it was the truth. I did enjoy it. I liked being noticed, and one thought I heard loud and clear – I’ve still got it!
This led to another much needed conversation with Debi. She listened and was actually encouraged. That’s odd, I know, but I’ll explain. She said she always wondered if I would even notice if a woman flirted with me. This situation gave her the answer she didn’t even know to ask me. And she was encouraged.
What I’ve come away with is this:
Guys, we can never let our guard down for a minute. Temptation is everywhere – sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t. But when we do we have to first of all flee, and second of all – talk to our wife about it. It may be hard for her to hear, but I guarantee she would much rather you tell her about a temptation, then to find out later you were hiding something from her.
“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” – 1 Corinthians 10:13
Sometimes the best “way of escape” is to tell the one God has joined you together with as one flesh. My wife is not only my best friend, she is my best deterrent from sin. I imagine your wife is too. God designed it to be this way if we will only let them.
How would you handle a pick up on aisle 4?

Great post! Early in my marriage I wasn’t wise enough to tell my husband when I had flirtatious conversations, but now I realize it’s the best course. The attention can feel so nice that we need to remind ourselves to not place ourselves in that situation. Recently my hubby mentioned a friend of a friend being overly friendly at a gathering. I was a little surprised but glad he mentioned it rather than not troubling me with it. As a wife, that boosts my trust in him. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Lori, You’ve said it well – “It boosts my trust in him.” I think Tom was surprised by my response because we went through a similar situation a couple of years ago where my response was the exact opposite. But that incident was for MY growth. It was good for me to go through what I did. And now I’m more grateful than ever for the evidence of God’s grace at work in my heart and in Tom’s heart. After 32 years of marriage the lessons continue. We will never graduate – always studying, always learning.
Thanks for commenting,

Thanks for being so transparent. I’m reminded once again to “drink water from [my own] cistern, and FRESH water from [my] own well” (Prov. 5:15). The “water” from other wells which are not mine will soon dry up, but “my cistern,” my beloved wife, is always FRESH, pure, and unadulterated. That “ego-stroker” will soon stoke another and another. . . .

Really great share. Guys always flirted with me, al throughout y marriage–and I never thought anything of it except as being playful. As with every experience in our lives, it is what you make it to be. You decide the interpretation then you respond to your interpretation.He wondered what to do as someone was trying ot make something happen with him and he didn’t want any part of it–and didn’t know (???) how to stop it???? So I gave hi some suggestions that worked.

Thank you Tom! What a beautiful example of humility in both you and Debi, as well as the strength of your union. Quite obviously, Christ is the center. My wife and I reveled at how this post and the two of you encourage us both so well. It also birthed good conversation on how we are both similarly tempted not only in the context of being “flirted” with, but desiring the approval of others. We praise God for how well He is glorifying Himself through you both!

Happened to read your article today. Nice concept, except when your spouse (after 21 years) does little to let you know you’re a “man” and not much more than a paycheck or someone to run and fetch her much needed Diet Coke. I hear people say “God can fill that void for you”, but I don’t see it. My wife is the one to fill the intimate needs we have, but she was openly told me that she does not like to kiss me outside the bedroom, because it “might lead” to the bedroom. Who says that to a spouse…especially one that cares and is trying? I live, every day, vulnerable to a smile and a flirty word. It sucks, but the “Godly woman” I married seems to draw no correllation between her lack of meeting my need, and my need being potentially met elsewhere.

David,
We are so sorry to hear of the struggles you’re facing in your marriage. Marriage isn’t easy, it wasn’t meant to be. We would highly encourage you to seek counsel that is biblically based and can lead you both to the only One who can bring true reconciliation and lasting love. It is possible. We’ve met with couples who have faced similar challenges and witnessed God bring them to a much better place. We will pray for you and ask God to lead you and guide you to the help you need.
Thank you for commenting.

One more thing – we knew we had read a post on another marriage blog recently which seemed to address your situation so well. We found it! It’s on the Journey To Surrender blog titled, When You Have Nothing Left. We pray this will help and the Scriptures will encourage you and equip you to continue working on your marriage.

As parents of a special needs/autistic child, we knew certain milestones would be challenging to accomplish. Making our son Jalen employable was always a far thought that crossed our minds. If employed, Jalen’s independence could be possible. Hence, as parents, we will not always be around for our kid's well-being.
Therefore, we have taken destiny into our own hands and homed in on one of Jalen’s talents, “visualization”.
As many who have Autistic Angels in their life, know that they are very visual and attention to detail-oriented.
For years, we have been using essential oils for aiding in our Jalen’s mood.
These oils are not a cure, as we know, Autism is not curable but we believe essential oils helped in mood swings, not only with Jalen but as a family as a whole.
From no language, to sign language, to now verbal, our son Jalen is capable of following instructions as we set forth a journey for self-employment. We like to call it: “Operation Autistic Entrepreneurship”.
Together we have several mixtures and products that Jalen is able to measure, mix, create, pack and ship on his own to provide for consumers with such interest.
As of now, the flagship homemade product is essential oils, with more product opportunities for the future.
Aromatherapy, ABA therapy, Speech therapy, OT therapy, and Music/Art therapy are just a few therapy programs our Autistic Angel Jalen has endured through the years to reach his current abilities. Of course, advocacy and hard work from (us) parents, Jalen and many caring people along the journey made this all possible.
With that said, a percentage (%) of sales are donated to special need charities.
WORDS OF WISDOM
Autism is not curable, but individuals can recover in hopes of a somewhat independent life if started early on. Not all situations are similar, hence the autism spectrum is vast.

Developing new features and functionalities is only part of the work. What comes next can make or break the adoption rate – improving your product goes hand in hand with feature announcement and user onboarding.
This week, we’ll explore the different types of user adoption rates, how they’re measured, and why they matter. We’ve also included key strategies you can implement to boost adoption rate and therefore business growth. Let’s dive right in.
Firstly, What is User Adoption Rate?
User adoption rate is the measure of how many people are using your product regularly. Product adoption is a prerequisite for every performance metric that matters in the long run for your business’s growth: customer retention, user engagement, and revenue.
The Four Main Types of User Adoption
Separating your user adoption rates into types based on user segments is a good way to get comprehensive data on how different users deal with existing and new features. It also gives you actionable insights to boost your adoption rate within these segments.
Best practice: regularly establish which are your most- and least- adopted features, and see if these lists match your expectations. Validating your assumptions with data is important for accurate benchmarking.
Routine adoption: when your existing users adopt existing features. Low routine adoption rates could indicate that your features are difficult to use and that better onboarding is required.
Existing user (internal) adoption: when your existing users adopt new features. For example, when Instagram brought out its Reels feature in 2020, its internal adoption rate would be the percentage of its users to adopt this feature within a set time period.
In theory, if your current users are accustomed to and like your SaaS, your internal adoption rate should be high after a successful product release. So, if the adoption rate suffers among your existing users, this could preempt wider problems amongst your new user base.
New user (external) adoption: when new users adopt existing features. For example, the number of new users that update their profile bio on your SaaS platform within the first week of opening their account.
New user adoption: when new users adopt new features. This is often denoted by flags: users are green flagged if they successfully adopt a product, and red-flagged if they encounter difficulties. Adoption flags give you actionable insights to deliver better value for your users.
How is Adoption Rate Measured?
Put simply, adoption rate = total number of adopted users within a time period x 100
total number of users at the end of the time period
So, if you have 500 total users at the start of January, and by the end of the month 150 of them have adopted your new feature, you have an adoption rate of 30%.
However, to use this formula, you need to define what an “adopted user” is in the specific case of your SaaS product. This could mean the number of:
Daily/weekly/monthly active users: users who have logged into your software a certain number of times over a set time period
Users who have signed up or paid for your service in a set time period
Users who have performed an action you care about in a given time period e.g.: filling out their profile or adding team members to their account
Users who have completed a particular onboarding flow. Nickelled’s reporting feature provides you with this data automatically, working out the onboarding guide completion rate relative to its number of unique views. Plus, it includes user satisfaction rate, based on the results of a simple yes/no product feedback box:
Best practices:
You should always calculate adoption rate with respect to a specific time period.
Adoption rate can be calculated on a daily, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.
Other Useful User Adoption Rates to Consider
Across both existing and new user adoption, it is also useful to monitor time-to-first [performing key action]. That is to say, the average time it takes a new user to try an existing feature, or an existing user to try a new feature for the first time.
Leverage data about the properties and paths taken by those users who are quicker to adopt your products to improve the experiences of slower product adopters. If the majority of your users are slow to adopt, this suggests a wider problem in your UX and a lack of awareness about their features.
Why Does Product Adoption Rate Matter?
Measuring your adoption rate is essential because it provides unbiased feedback on your product. At the end of the day, if users see its value and understand how to use it, they will. Successful adoption rate fosters:
Higher customer retention rate, and therefore lower cost-per-acquisition (CPA): retaining existing users is up to 9x cheaper than acquiring new ones
Greater engagement, higher conversion rate, and therefore consistent income
Increased customer lifetime value (CLV)
Boosted marketing ROI
For a complete overview of how users feel about your product, you should combine quantitative data like your adoption rate with qualitative user feedback. That’s why Nickelled includes user satisfaction surveys at the end of each of our onboarding guides, so the people who know the UX the best can tell us what they think about it:

Creating Strategy to Increase Adoption Rate
So, now you know how important adoption rate is, what can you do to optimize this metric and boost your business?
Persuading your users – even loyal ones – to adapt and start using a new feature or product is not an easy process. In order to get traction for your new feature, you need to persuade your users to change their habits by convincing them of its value.
Strategizing to create awareness, segment your user base and leverage your qualitative and quantitative user data should be part of your product launch plan from the very beginning. Implement the following best practices to avoid your new feature ending up as wasted development time that adds a layer of complexity for your users:
Create Awareness of Your New Feature
Effective & Continuous Onboarding
Your customer’s first experience sets the tone for every experience that comes after. Your job is to demonstrate the usefulness of your product as quickly as possible and help your user achieve their goal.
Nickelled’s interactive product tours implement a mixture of welcome messages, in-app tutorials, and tooltips to create a clear path to value—no matter how complex the product is. In doing so, we define the core value proposition of the SaaS and streamline their onboarding flow to get users to realize that value as early in their experience as possible.
Another key to successful onboarding is tailoring the flow to the user and their actions. Segmenting users according to experience level, job title, goals, etc. allows you to deliver more personalized and therefore relevant first-time experiences that will resonate with an individual user’s needs. This, in turn, will foster better engagement and a higher product adoption rate.
Make Mini Product Launches
From your most loyal customers to your newest users, all will be inexperienced when it comes to adopting a new feature. Their engagement and likelihood of adopting the product depend on you highlighting and building excitement around its launch, in addition to effective onboarding.
Your users want to feel that you are adapting to fit their needs and that their feedback has been heard. Create content for a mini product launch: new use cases, social media and email announcements (like the below newsletter from Readdle), and help documents to generate user interest and engagement.
What’s more, studies have shown that repetition reinforces habits. By consistently reminding users of your new product and its value, whether through email campaigns or website banners, you’ll be encouraging product adoption.
Create Blog Content To Raise Awareness
Highlight the elements that make your SaaS product or service better than others using product comparison blog posts, like this one analyzing different software for creating product tours.
Such a blog post allows your consumers to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of two or three similar products and clearly highlights the valuable ways your SaaS stands out from others in the same field.
You can also use blog posts to target specific user issues and show how your features solve these problems. This is a great way to reduce support tickets around your new product.
Segment Your User Base
You’re most probably already familiar with the different use cases of your SaaS product from designing your onboarding flows, as mentioned above. Segmenting your users according to their goals, their job role, their subscription level to your service, whether they’re a new or existing user, etc., allows you to target your onboarding processes, marketing campaigns, and data reporting more effectively.
For example, Nickelled’s Launchers are on-site widgets that can announce new product features (like the example below), suggest onboarding guides, or offer support to users based on their ID, properties, page location, and more custom data. They allow you to promote your new feature to those users who are more likely to be interested in using it, thereby boosting your adoption rate.
Leverage Your Quantitative and Qualitative User Data
What’s the point in measuring adoption rate if you’re not going to use that data to improve your product and service? One of the keys to boosting product adoption is knowing where users are struggling so that you can fix it.
Assess aggregated user data to give insight into macro-level issues: adoption rate, churn rate, and the number of active users can indicate larger problems in your product.
Analyze user behavior to find micro-level issues: discover which of your features aren’t being used to the same extent as others. Explore how adopted users have ended up using a target feature and look for opportunities to direct other users along this path and increase engagement along the way.
Correlate qualitative and quantitative data: get a comprehensive insight into how you can improve your product and processes. Follow our templates for collecting honest product feedback to ask your users key questions, then combine this information with metrics like adoption rate.
Boost Your Adoption Rate with Nickelled’s Onboarding Tools
Product adoption rate is one of the most important ways of measuring success as a SaaS business. It’s crucial to many other key performance metrics, including user retention, engagement, and revenue. With that said, our key takeaways from this article are:
Measuring adoption rate is simple but does depend on what “adoption” means in terms of your product.
Effective, repeatable, and targeted onboarding and feature announcement are the two key ways to boost your adoption rate.
Carrying out continued analysis of adoption rate and user feedback and leveraging this data is the best way to ensure your product meets your users’ varying needs and optimize its success.
Design interactive onboarding flows and trigger targeted product announcements using Nickelled’s simple and effective tools and join companies like Gengo in boosting your adoption rate and user retention.

On the second single from Antony & The Johnson's "I Am A Bird Now", Antony presents one of the strongest solo pieces in his staggeringly rich repertoire. The song "Hope There's Someone" is a rush of pure emotion, a true performance with every bit of hope, supplication, distress, horror, lament, agony, sorrow and accession, spanning the entire life-death experience. Pitchfork characterizes the song remarking, "It starts all atremble with a disarmingly naked prayer ("Hope there's someone who'll take care of me when I die, when I go"). As the song progresses that someone changes shape, and becomes a spectral double, as Antony sings for and against himself; the hoped-for someone is both a loving companion and an exterminating angel." The esteemed NPR program All Things Considered recently reviewed "I Am A Bird Now" injecting one of the most illuminate and apropos assessments yet, "This is a fantastic record. It's thoroughly modern but feels lived in, it's got an old soul, and honestly for as often as the term "soulful" gets tossed around like table salt on so many flavorless records, for once, for Antony and the Johnsons the term aptly describes." Two of the three songs are previously unreleased outtakes from the "I Am A Bird Now" sessions. The single also contains a new video for "Hope There's Someone" by the up-and-coming NYC director Glen Fogel. The video, and cover art, features a captivating portrait of the NYC legend Joey Gabriel.

My MADSEN Winner Announced!
December 8, 2010 /14 Comments/in General, Product Review /by Jesse
I don’t want to do this. I really don’t. My stomach hurts. This whole thing is intellectually decided, but spiritually it is strongly rebelled against. But here I am with the ability to give somebody transportation for no money at all. Completely remove the market from the picture. That’s huge. Plus I can give back something when I got something. That’s nice. Right? Plus I already said I’d do it. So I kinda have to. No more whining about it. Here goes:
[reluctantly] I said I’d have a winner today, so here are the results:
All the entrants were compelling. But I developed a simple rubric based on 1-5 point scale. Below are the results:
Rodney:
track record of success 5—Many CO readers know how committed Rodney is.
possibility of longevity 4 Not many young, small children means fewer years’ use.
making of a one-car family 3 The level of Rodney’s success indicates that he is already so car-independent that little change will be made.
Janet:
track record of success 5—you already transport kids without a car.
possibility of longevity 5—your ! 🙂
Vincent
track record of success 5—you already use a bike to transport kids.
possibility of longevity 5—your children are so young that you have room to grow.
making one-car 5—you can really do this with a MADSEN, and I think it’s just the push you need.
Patti Lynn
track record of success 5—clearly overcoas going to the beach combined with less support of car-free history make lower score because it indicates that everyday transportation use might not be as prevalent. Basically, it’s my little baby, and it needs time to run around and play! 4
I received a personal appeal on behalf of (and unbeknownst to) one of the two finalists while I was at the Orlando Museum of Art this past week. Tales of her dragging her child through the heat, of her passion, of her commitment. But the other finalist is on the Cady Way Trail. He has seen me there. And this is a veritable bike highway. It so increases the chances that someone can go car light to car free.
I just couldn’t decide. I asked Angie, and she thought it was a tie. I emailed my dad. No deciding answer there either.
So I anonymously had students read the entries. They wrote paragraphs supporting why or why not this or that person should get the bike. Don’t worry. They didn’t decide this. But they did make me think. The most compelling argument was that one person demonstrated a need while another person demonstrated a desire, and since need trumps desire, Person A (as they were so labeled) should win. Person A was Janet’s entry, so she is the winner of my original MADSEN! Congratulations Janet!!!
Janet, please post a time that you would like to meet at the Cady Way Trailhead at Cady Way Park so that I can deliver your new MADSEN. I would like this to be as public as possible, because it’s exciting to me. As a happy member of this wonderful and growing community, let me be the first to say welcome to the world of family cycling. Your life will never be the same.

December 12, 2010 at 12:24 am
Jesse, thank you so much for selecting me!!!! My family is thrilled! I don’t know if tomorrow early afternoon is too soon for you? What about next Saturday early afternoon if tomorrow is too soon?
Let me know what works for you (I am saying weekends just because I would like for my husband Mike to be there too.).
Janet
Jesse says:
December 13, 2010 at 1:03 pm
@ Janet! Congratulations!
I’m so happy for you and your family. I can’t wait for you guys to start using your MADSEN! I hope you get years of use.
I’ve heard from some others about how happy you are to get this, and that makes me so happy!!!–you know it’s such a cool bike that it’s actually pretty hard to say goodbye to.
How about Saturday, 2pm at the Cady Way Park?
Janet Young says:
December 13, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Is there any way we can meet a little earlier? My husband flies out at 4:10 (I thought it was later) on Saturday.
If not 2PM would be fine, I will make it work.
Thank you so much again for this wonderful gift to my family. We will take such good care of your wonderful MASDEN!

Fertility Treatment in East Of Kailash, Fertility Clinic in East Of Kailash, Fertility Center, Centre in East Of Kailash, Fertility Treatment Specialist Doctors in East Of Kailash. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the technology used to achieve pregnancy using different techniques and procedures over the couples who are having difficulties in achieving the same results using the natural methods of producing babies.
Procedures such as fertility medication, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy are some of the treatments that are carried forward to cure infertility and these treatments come under the name of Fertility Treatment. ART is also used by the couples that are having some communicable disease for example AIDS. To prevent the disease, many couples go through the assisted reproductive technology that allows artificial ways to get pregnant and give birth to their own baby.
Before going through and deciding which treatment to choose, couple has to undergo from the fertility evaluation. Under fertility evaluation, we look upon the history of sexual relationship between the couple and then we go for physical tests. Once all the tests are performed and results are out, we evaluate the same to look upon the delay of the pregnancy. Once we have all the reports regarding the same, we consult with our team and decide upon the treatment that the couple should undergo to get the desired output.
In males generally the semen is tested. The analysis of the sperm count and sperm motility takes place. A normal semen analysis generally rules out 99% of the male cases of infertility. If any kind of discontinuity is found in the semen, we go through indepth analysis of the semen to get the proper image of the failure of pregnancy.
In females generally the problem may occur in one of the parts; uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes or hormones. During one menstrual cycle all the required test are carried forward and then begins the analysis to know the reason of infertility. Once the doctors are satisfied with the results, they offer different treatments for the same and try to cure the problem of pregnancy within next few months of the tests.
At our facility we try to keep the stepwise testing as we don't want to do unnecessary testing just to increase the overall costing. We keep in view that the overall treatment should be in budget and should be effective as well. We have all the latest knowledge of the field and offer every bit of it to our patients. We keep track over the revolutionary changes that are coming in the way of fertility treatment and keep ourselves updated

Gastric dilation–volvulus (GDV), or “bloat,” is a life-threatening condition in which a dog’s stomach fills with air and becomes twisted. Gas builds up in the twisted stomach and stretches it. This stretching, also called distention, is extremely painful and limits the amount of blood that can reach other parts of the body. When blood can’t reach body tissues to supply oxygen, those tissues can die. GDV is an emergency situation, and if not treated immediately, it can be fatal. While any size or breed of dog can develop this condition, it is more common in larger-breed dogs with deep chests, like German shepherds, golden retrievers, and Great Danes.

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Dogs
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites include any parasites that live in the stomach or intestines of a host. A variety of GI parasites affect dogs. They range from roundworms and tapeworms, which are visible with the naked eye, to microscopic organisms like coccidia and Giardia. Regardless of their size, GI parasites can cause serious illness in dogs and sometimes even death. Some parasites are even zoonotic, which means that humans can become infected.

Getting Your Dog Back on Its Feet
The most effective way to treat lameness is to obtain an accurate diagnosis of what is wrong. If your dog is limping, don’t try to guess what the problem is or wait to see if it gets better on its own. A veterinarian can evaluate your dog by a thorough physical examination; if necessary, laboratory tests can be performed and/or radiographs (x-rays) obtained. Lameness can be caused by many things—infections (e.g., Lyme disease), stress fractures, soft tissue injuries, and arthritis, to name a few. Paying attention to signs that your dog is uncomfortable and having your dog evaluated quickly can help prevent smaller problems from becoming bigger ones.

Giardiasis
Giardiasis is a diarrheal disease that can affect many species, including dogs, cats, and humans. It is caused by Giardia, a single-celled parasite that attacks the gastrointestinal tract of infected animals. Among experts, there is some question about (1) the number of Giardia subtypes that can cause disease in animals and (2) the potential of these subtypes to also infect humans. While humans are susceptible to infection with Giardia, infection by the same subtypes prevalent in animals is thought to be exceedingly rare but remains a point of controversy and investigation.

Glucose and Fructosamine Testing
In diabetic patients, spot-checking the blood glucose (or blood sugar) is a quick and direct way to tell what the level is. The rapid result permits quick detection and management of a dangerously low or an extremely high level. However, blood glucose testing provides only a “snapshot” of the total blood glucose “picture.” The test result does not indicate what the blood glucose level will be 2 hours later, 8 hours later, or the next day. Your veterinarian needs to do other testing to obtain this information.

SF Quote
...today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups...So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms...it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.

You can determine for yourself whether or not it actually is the penis enlarger that you’ve been looking for.
Does Size Truly Matter?
If every male weren’t stressed over whether or not size issues, the manufacturers of would not have a product on the market in the first place. The inquiry actually does need to be asked; Is larger truly far better? And does size matter in any way?
To address this concern, and thus figure out whether or not you need to attempt, we require to have a look at why individuals are utilizing this item in the first place. Below are a few of the vital factors that people use products that are developed to add dimension to your penis:.
What Is The Most Effective Way To Get A Bigger Penis
To Impress the Reverse Sex.
You’ll usually hear females say that they aren’t even all that worried about penis dimension. If you pay attention to what many females state, you can miss on utilizing, also if you had a tiny penis. We’ve found– over the years– that when females state that they concerned with penis size they are claiming it to be nice. They do not wish to injure the feelings of the men they love, even if it implies they have to give up being pleased in the bedroom.
Now, to be fair, a lot of ladies don’t want males with 12 inches down below. Yet that’s not what was made to create. This product isn’t out to make you hung like a steed, it’s merely a tried and tested method of adding a few inches to what you already have. As well as since we have actually already identified that females actually do want a man that has a larger penis, it’s easy to see why so many people are using or other items to enhance the dimension of their penises.
For Their Own Self-confidence.
Like it or otherwise, the culture that we live in places a lot of emphasis on penis dimension. Whether it’s inbred right into our DNA or if it’s just something that we have actually collectively gotten over the years– males just really feel much better concerning themselves if they are well hung. It’s tough to head out as well as seek girls to day or even to tackle your day-to-day regimen, if you don’t really feel one hundred percent certain regarding who you are as a man.
Put simply, guys feel more like guys when they have bigger plans. And given that the maker of the system assurance that their item does aid you to gain a bit of dimension on your penis, it’s very easy to see why males would select this product as a really actual method to boost not just their penis dimension, however their self esteem and also self-confidence levels also.
Regarding be anticipated, the shipping packaging of SizeGenetics was as underrated as other products within the men’s sex-related health and wellness great, with absolutely no reference regarding the materials of the shipment box.
In regards to SizeGenetics delivering, it took around 8 hours for my order to be sent off after making my acquisition– they do state orders can take up to 24hrs to be refined (on the weekend breaks specifically), whilst if you order prior to 11am GMT they will dispatch your order the very same day. For most outside the UK, particularly those in the United States, that’ll indicate send off the next business day.
In terms of the SizeGenetics distribution time, it took 2 company days to get here through courier service– you can anticipate shipment in 1-2 days in the US, EU and also UK, whilst those in other nations should take invoice of their order within 4 organization days. I would certainly recommend that if you don’t live in a rate 1 country, be gotten ready for a little longer delivery timescales.
Based on the main SizeGenetics site, whether your in Australia, Canada and even India or Dubai, as a result of the category as a kind 1 medical device, it does not seem as though there are lots of, if any kind of nations that SizeGenetics can not be delivered to from among their central fulfilment hubs.
As soon as out of the shipping box the retail product packaging of the SizeGenetics tool is basic, streamlined and underrated.
SizeGenetics Box.
A black cardboard sleeve sports the printed SizeGenetics brand name and also logo design on the front. On the back you’ll find an image of the gadget with vital functions classified, in addition to a brief summary of the SizeGenetics item and also a rather confusing “period of therapy” barchart which is intended to show the incremental portion rise over a period of between 8 as well as 24 weeks.

On the side of the black retail box there is recommendation to the device being a class 1 medical device, client support call information, together with referral to the additional devices as well as 16 way comfort technology system.
With the cardboard sleeve removed your presented with the black leather SizeGenetics instance– this has a steel effect logo on the front, with a lock on the front to keep spying eyes away from it’s contents.
Opening up the natural leather situation up and you get the gadget itself in each of its component parts which you’ll need to assemble– this consists of a basal ring which is placed on the groin over the penis, the holder which sustains the head of the penis and allows you to mix and also match the various comfort devices, and also an option of vibrant grip elongation bars which differ the amount of pressure (in between 900g, 1,200 g as well as 2,800 gs) and also attach the basic ring and holder together.
SizeGenetics Gadget, Convenience Accessories & Box.
Each part of the tool itself (leaving out the prolongation bars), as well as the various convenience bands and also supports can be found in secured plastic bags so you recognize the device is brand-new– like penis pumps and also various other sexual health and wellness devices, penis grip gadgets aren’t truly suitable for resale after use as a result of the associated health and wellness worries.
You additionally obtain a SizeGenetics instructional DVD concealed inside the cover which has some pretty dated videos and also composed overviews, in addition to a trick for the instance lock– it’s fundamental but reliable.

These convenience accessories can be made use of in 16 different mixes in what SizeGenetics call their comfort technology system, to offer convenience as well as assistance when using the SizeGenetics tool.

We had a successful turnout at our first ever Cosplay program!

Creation versus Purchasing

Resources
Local conventions Cosplayers meet
I was enraptured and impressed by our presenter. Her love of Cosplay grew from her hobby of sewing! Our library is very grateful for having a Cosplay program possible this summer and based on the positive feedback received, I would definitely be open to hosting the program again. I highly recommend having Jen present on Cosplay. She reads the crowd easily, goes into detail, answers questions, and is knowledgeable in many aspects of this niche art.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Learning Outcomes
I feel our patrons were able to be exposed to a different pop culture niche. Cosplay has been increasingly popular in the U.S. to the point of people becoming professional Cosplayers, creating and modeling their own creations for conventions and publishers. At several conventions I’ve attended, there are panels on Cosplay that normally you can only enter with a paid ticket however our library was able to offer this informative panel for free. Attendees learned feasible ways of planning their Cosplay with the understanding that anyone can dress up! From accurate-on-the-spot renditions to crossplay to genderbending cosplay, there’s something for everyone.
I’m itching to cosplay again. *Looks at cosplay-less closet* In due time, in due time. Following Jen’s tip, gotta plan it first!

Ode to the Library Assistant
My path was never the librarian despite my love of libraries and literature. I never considered walking this path until college when realizing that becoming a teacher wasn’t in the cing of library school, positioned me to gain a full-time library position in circulation within my state’s library system.
Were the job duties simple and easy? No. Were the job duties challenging and engaging? Yes. This is my ode to the library assistant.
I first became a library assistant after graduating with my Master’s in Library and Information Science. It was a rough period, with people around me asking why I was in an entry-level position, why I don’t make enough money, why I deal with duties that do not require my degree. My go-to answer: I go in 100%. This is my challenge. Eventually I’ll move up when the time is right. I need to learn circulation first.
Taking notes on EVERYTHING.
Let me tell you something, I have the utmost respect with circulation. They deal with the front-lines, the first phone calls, the irate and the charming first, they deal with everything I did not learn in library school. (I was fortunate to have a required class on communicating with others however there wasn’t a class strictly on Circulation.) These guys are badass, helpful, know-everythings that I wonder how the library would survive without them. I can’t survive in a library by myself without circulation. If patrons are the lifeblood of the library, circulation is the heart of it all. They ensure I do my job as a librarian well.
I would never trade my time in circulation for another job. I learned how to properly run a register in the library, how to talk to patrons better, how to make small talk and promote programs easily (I’m an introvert that is confused by small talk), how to assess books for mending, how to multitask and juggle phone calls with a patron in front of me while needing to find a book on shelf. It was my boot camp into the library world post-school, with a full-time job.
To all of you working at library assistants, I love you all for you are essential to the library machine. You do the dirty work, the grunt work, the work that needs to be done. You help make the jobs of techs, librarians, managers, and volunteers so much easier. If you move up due to experience, you’ll be better equipped to handle the position. It needs to be said: You. Are. Vital.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?
We got programs up the wazoo! This year we combined programs to be more family oriented. The following programs are being put together by our library:
Ani-Mazing Anime Programs: A continuation from before summer, bi-monthly anime showings with discussion. Three episodes shown and patrons can vote for the next episode.
Cosplay Your Heart Out: My good friend and awesome cosplayer will be showing cosplay techniques and thrifty shopping to create a cosplay based on your favorite pop culture character!
Darin Miyashiro and Co. Japanese Koto Performance: Local Koto musician Darin Miyashiro will be doing a Koto performance for patrons of all ages.
Every Body Rocks Family Talent Show: Families can sign up to sing or play musical instruments for an audience!
Family Craft Time: Family members (caregivers and teens/children) are able to sign up to do crafts together! The Children’s Librarian is in charge and taught me how to do the craft so to be in charge of a class out of three classes. I’m not a crafty person (my origami cranes are sad cranes) so this gives me hope.
Musical Movie Mondays: Every Monday at 3:30 pm, we’ll be showing a musical-themed movie. So far we have Sing, La La Land, Pitch Perfect 3, Moana, and Coco. All movies are up to PG-13.
Here’s to Summer Reading 2018!

Dealing with Burnout
Feeling fatigued? Want to stay in bed and recharge? See the bags under your eyes despite sleeping 8+ hours?
That could mean a lot of different things but what if it revolved around your work?
I know that feel too via GIPHY
Tips to get yourself recharged and energized for work!
Do not bring work home. Ass. Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed when it’s the weekend and you’re waiting on confirmation for a program or anxious because you forgot to finish something before closing time. It’s okay. You’re not alone, I need to repeat it every day at closing. For reading, read something you want rather than reading something off your work list.
Log out of your email. It’s tempting but do not enable work email on your phone or your home computer. Nooooo. Nope. Nada. Keep that at work.
Stress-less hobby. Rather than saying “mindless”, do something that doesn’t cause you stress. For me it’s playing video games or doodling in my bullet journal. With video games, I need to monitor my stress levels and need to listen to myself when it’s time to quit a game.
Take a walk. Fresh air, greenery, just walking around outside is a nice change of pace after being cooped up in the office.
Treat. Your. Self. Finished a program you’ve been planning for 3 months? Treat yourself. Successfully completed a reference transaction? Pat yourself on the back and treat yourself. Got a negative reaction from a situation you could not control? Learn and treat yourself.
Vacation or Sick Day. Take a mental health day or plan a few months in advanced a couple days to refresh yourself. You need to recharge yourself but do not feel bad that your coworkers are picking up your slack. They’d want you at 100% rather than 25% and unable to provide teamwork. I feel bad calling in sick but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Self-Reflection: Stress Relief and Composure
So here and I doing my thing. It’s the last meeting for the Teen Library Council. Unfortunately all but one teen couldn’t make it. So here I am, one on one with our Teen Library Council, asking for feedback and reflect on the past year. This member is a huge anime and manga fan and is very good about suggestion which series are popular among friends and classmates in high school. We’re talking story, it’s a very chill atmosphere, and I drop my “official” demeanor and let slip some of my fangirl persona since we’re discussing a topic we mutually like.
We must have been very relaxed because the member mentioned how I act like Retsuko of Aggretsuko fame. At the time I wasn’t familiar with the character, only knowing the anthropomorphic red raccoon was a new character amongst the cute Sanrio characters I knew of when I was a kid. Essentially the conversation turned to how, as a librarian, you present yourself professionally then you let loose with your favorite hobby. The Council Member is a huge fan of the Netflix series and encouraged me to watch it to understand how Retsuko acts. As I watched the series later that night, Retsuko is a salary woman working in accounting for a big firm. She deals with the day to day with a calm demeanor then unleashes her stress and rage at night in her own private sanctuary: a karaoke room.
Self-reflecting on our conversation, I got this thought (and please feel free to comment). That we present ourselves as professionals to the public. My Teen Library Council had asked me questions about the job: Do you need a Master’s degree? What kind of experience would be good to work with the public? Now I look back a question I’m sure they had since it was the same when I was a kid which was How can you keep your composure? Just like Retsuko singing karaoke, my outlet is reading manga!
We all have our different ways of expressing and releasing stress from keeping a professional composure. How do you reflect your professional life? What are ways you do to release stress?

Rent the Runway CEO Jennifer Hyman thinks fashion rental is inflation-proof

[ad_1]
Rent the Runway started with a pretty simple idea. It’s a clothing rental and subscription business for women, which launched in 2008. You can rent clothes one by one, or subscribe to rent a certain number of pieces depending upon which tier you pay for, or buy secondhand clothing outright.
But Rent the Runway has had a pretty intense path from its founding in 2008 to going public in 2021: the onset of the pandemic in 2020 cratered the business, as 60 percent of customers canceled or paused their subscriptions, and Jennifer was forced to make drastic cuts to survive.
Now, she says that things are swinging back as more and more people are spending their dollars going out, traveling, and generally shifting their spending from things to experiences. There’s also the post-COVID wedding boom. People need outfits, and Rent the Runway is right there for them.

Abstract
An examinatioiae Y185 on the kinetics of accumulation of nine L-amino acids and L-trialanine (L-(Ala)3). Data revealed different kinetics only for L-threonine, L-histidine and L-(Ala)3 accumulation. Data for accumulation of L-threonine and L-(Ala)3 best fitted a model describing accumulation by one transport system, and for L-histidine, a model describing accumulation by one transport system and diffusion. Values for Vmax, but not KT, differed for L-threonine accumulation by oleyl as compared with linoleyl-enriched organisms whilst both KT and Vmax Values differed for accumulation of radioactively labelled L-(Ala)3. However, determination of L-(Ala)3 accumulation by the fluorescamine technique gave different results. Values for KT and the diffusion constant (D) but not Vmax, differed for L-histidine accumulation by oleyl-, palmitoleyl- or linoleyl-enriched organisms. Kinetic values for accumulation of L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, L-methionine and L-serine were however identical for organisms enriched in oleyl or linoleyl residues. When incubated in a glucose-containing phosphate buffer under conditions that led to derepression of the general amino-acid permease (GAP), Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y185 enriched in linoleyl residues more rapidly acquired GAP activity, as indicated by an increased ability to transport L-alanine, than did oleyl-enriched organisms. During derepression, KT values for the GAP were identical but Vmax values were greater for linoleyl-enriched organisms particularly after 1 h incubation in derepression buffer. The effects of linoleic-acid supplementation on removal of amino acids and peptides by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 240 during fermentation of brewer's all-malt wort, and peptides from an adjunct wort, were studied. In the former fermentations, the presence of linoleic acid have very little effect on amino acid or peptide removal but, in the latter, it appeared to speed up absorption of peptides by the yeast.

I have a strong feeling this brand was available when I first opened my business and it has remained my "go to" recommendation for affordable & extreme value instruments ever since.
The range over the years has expanded massively to cater for most genres and it has continued to improve in quality as well as range available.
Sadly, my Achilles heel shall we say are the "over expectant" minority (AKA Budget guitar police) who want PERFECTION at the cheapest possible price. Whilst a minority they are quite a militant bunch and tend to take the guitar out the box, run their hands down the frets to find the fret end we didn't manage to find or the 16th fret on the D that isn't as flat as it should be - or the little cosmetic blemish on the reer of the guitar that if you put the guitar to the light and look at it as 23 degrees on a sunny afternoon.... you get the idea....
Look - I am telling you as it is.... Either I NEVER sell guitars at this price - or you accept the INCREDIBLE positives of this brand at this price. The positives are MANY and I love them and you will too if your desire is to enjoy your guitar - not treat it as some kind of study for a physics project.
They contain what I call the building blocks of a great guitar.
Our meticulous quality control and setup service ensures you receive the very best example of the guitar. No stone is left unturned but PLEASE bear in mind this is a "relatively" budget brand and if you have OCD and the first thing you do is inspect every aspect of the guitar with a magnifying glass then I suggest you save up some money and go up to the next level of instrument.
If however you want a guitar that GENUINELY contains all the immense character of the original designs - the sound - the feel (and lets face it one of the brands they are mirroring have APPALLING standards that I would never allow out the door! yet cost 5x the price!) you will be blown away by Vintage.
Rest assured our meticulous quality control and preparation gets you the best. The very best - and a unique added value that NO other shop in the country can match. That I promise you!
Here are few videos I have done over the past couple of years which hopefully demonstrate why I love Vintage guitars so much and are my #1 recommendation for electric guitars under £400

Theresa May argues the success of her deal is the exit from free movement, even as public concern over immigration decreases sharply
THE major boast made by Prime Minister Theresa May as she attempts to drive through her Brexit deal is that she has achieved a key demand from Leave campaigners in 2016 – leaving the EU’s free movement regime.
Most of the UK’s immigrants come from outside of the EU, and are therefore subject to stricter migration rules. But Theresa May’s policy of subjecting all migrants to a new regime and claiming (though this promise has been made in British politics for many years) that she will reduce immigration the tens of thousands represents a new departure.
Can anti-immigration politics really be the big achievement of Brexit for the Conservatives, and what do workers have to concern themselves with in May’s new plans?
Brexit and immigration
Anti-immigration rhetoric is endemic to UK ‘high politics’. Both New Labour and Conservative administrations have in recent years continually hiked up anti-immigration rhetoric, even as the UK remained anchored in the EU and free movement.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric also permeated both Leave and Remain campaigns in the 2016 EU referendum, with both campaign’s leaders promising reduced immigration on the outcome of the vote.
This anti-immigration rhetoric was supposed to serve the purpose of distracting workers from the fundamental problems of the UK economy and the culpability of corporations (especially the financial sector) and the political establishment. It was not supposed to result in the UK actually leaving the EU and free movement.
It is therefore interesting that the EU was prepared to relinquish the UK from free movement without the UK’s ejection from the EU’s wider set of liberal principles known as ‘the four freedoms’, which were said to be “indisoluble”. This points both tp the closeness with which May’s deal would align the EU, but also the EU leadership’s priority of keeping the UK, which represents 16 per cent of the EU economy, as a close trade partner.
Since the Brexit vote in June 2016, the number of British voters who think immigration is the most pressing issue in British society has fallen form 48 per cent to just 17 per cent in October 2018 – a massive, historic drop.
This points to the role of anti-immigration politics as a cipher for wider social and economic issues in British society. With the Leave vote, the migration issue was seen to have been resolved in some way. But this is a mixture of belief that immigration will now automatically reduce, and also a more diffuse sense that the political establishment have now listened to, or been forced to listen to, an alienated and frustrated public.
Immigration and the UK
Though an adequate supply of labour looms large for business owners, current immigration, both from outside the EU and with EU free movement, are used by employers to suppress wages and conditions in some sectors – particularly poorly regulated and deunionised sectors like construction and hospitality.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, and yet a little explored phenomenon, is that one of the biggest impacts of the use of immigrant labour to depress wages is on groups of immigrants themselves. This is of course true both for migrant workers themselves (who often face reduced pay and conditions compared to domestic labour) but also for settled migrants from the EU whose position is then eroded by employers, partly by bringing in new immigrant labour.
Above all it needs to be stated that the deployment of cheaper immigrant labour is only one (limited) method from a repertoire used by capital to depress wages, and by no means the most important. A race to the bottom in wages and conditions is only possible with a low level of workplace unionisation, as is currently the case.
This is also true when it comes to the issues of Labour shortages in certain industries, including the NHS, care and the agricultural sector.
Today (27 November) the IPPR think tank has projected that the care sector faces a 400,000 worker shortage by 2028 with the end of free movement. But it also predicts that it would face a 350,000 worker shortage if we were to keep free movement, due to low pay and poor conditions – indicating that poor quality jobs are more responsible for labour shortages than immigration rules.
In the agricultural sector, pay and conditions are often appealing, and farmers’ organisations complain of a lack of access to even cheaper labour from outside of the EU, as in recent years Eastern European workers have abandoned British farms for rising pay in their countries of origin.
May’s plans
Leaving the single market does not end the use of immigrant labour to press down on pay and conditions. Far from it.
Indeed, May’s proposed plans, which nod in the direction of an Australia style points system (earlier campaigned for by the likes of Nigel Farage and rejected by the prime minister) in their general ethos, would simply create a new regime of wage suppression and precarious work.
Under these as yet unfinalised plans, workers would be given access to the country on the basis of their skills and the economy’s general requirements. Crucially, these would most often be temporary permits for work including for immigrants from the EU who would once have had far more rights for residency under free movement.
The central conceit of May’s speech to the CBI was the claim that a new model of skills based immigration would somehow create new and more high quality work for workers currently residing in the UK.
She knows this isn’t true. Creating a more precarious condition for skilled labour from the EU will make such workers competitively advantageous (they will be more likely to accept reduced pay and conditions, and be disincentivsed to demand more) from the point of view of business. This will lead to domestic labour being carved out.
This is precisely the situation many ‘points based’ systems are designed to promote.
Finally, the freedom of movement system currently means many precarious, low-paid jobs, such as fruit picking, are currently heavily reliant on immigrant labour in the UK. If the points-based system does shut these people out, it may increase the pressure on UK workers to take menial jobs, or – as has been suggested – press employers into automation, thus taking the jobs out of the UK economy entirely. Either way, there’s no boon coming for UK workers from the end of freedom of movement.
No anti-immigrant solutions, only social ones
The solutions to Britain’s low pay, low skill economy are not to be found in the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the media or from the politicians, whether Leave or Remain, Tory or Labour, who talk about ‘British jobs for British workers’ or of EU workers “jumping the queue”.
They are to be found, firstly, in the unionisation of work, particularly in the grossly under-unionised private sector, where precarious employment, low pay and dreadful conditions are proliferating. Only unionised workplaces that are forced to pay labour at the same rate whether immigrant or domestic can halt the numerous downward pressures on wages.
The second solution is an end to the low pay low skill model of the British economy, particularly in the service sector. This can be achieved through policies which enforce higher pay as well as training for workers and infrastructure.
Creating high quality work requires planning and a massive increase in state intervention in the economy to meet social need. Decades of hoping for the market to organically produce these conditions has led to the opposite.
Finally, any border and immigration policies which reduce the working rights and pay of immigrants as against domestic labour will ultimately undermine both.
A system of immigration which offers the maximum freedom for all workers, whilst attacking the economic foundations which breed the race to the bottom, is the alternative.
But despite the real dangers of a new immigration settlement, it must be remembered that it offers no real solutions to the ‘immigration issue’ so frenetically stoked by much of the media and professional politicians in recent years and decades. Australia’s points-based system has not stopped a climate of hostility towards immigrants and refugees.
The new immigration system will not solve widespread public anger over working conditions or pay. It will not address the fundamental problems of the British economy, which the Tories of both Leave and Remain stripes seem determined to ignore.
And May’s hopes that her Brexit deal, which has largely united opinion in opposition by being neither really in nor out the EU, can be driven through by the mass appeal of exiting free movement, seems less likely than ever.

I absent for a while so I'm little lost :lol: ... so my proposal is can we have a more detailed roadmap? with mark to know what SC are accomplished? This no says what are complete
I try to use this but sometime I'm lost, I don't know what are you doing guys...
can we consider something like this
regards,
John

On the old steering committee we had a Trello board ( ) for this, but it got stuck in limbo due to inactivity of the community.

While not picking on anybody or anything, i see this kind of thing so often, in this and other projects.
People want to do something but only on their terms.
People want everyone to do things their way, or using their tools.
People always propose everyone use the latest buzzword fed neuveau 'tech'.
just as a comment on the actual initial question, the steering committee is virtually non existant as far as i can tell, of the two people doing the most work, one is a SC member, the other is not, both have real jobs, and real other projects.
A roadmap is something used by organisations that have people dedicated to projects, not only that but dedicated to sub projects of that project. I can also guarantee that probably more than half of roadmaps produced for large efficient teams get twsited around and knotted up, and well even with all the respect i have for az and jeff, a large and efficient team they are not.
Torque is a software project that is being developed by its users, its features and bug fixes are implemented and fixed in the order at which the users come across the bugs, or the need for new features. Not all users either, but users that are capable of fixing and/or adding these things.
As far as helping, i know for sure there are a million and one things to do, and almost as many unlinked websites with the details it seems. he one huge issue as i see it with such things as large bloated project management systems is thet people need to learn how to use them, which is time, usually lots of it, as well as associated screwups and somebody fixing them along the way, and thats just the software for the project management. There are also more of these pieces of software than hairs on your head, none of which are the same, all of which have something or some things missing (if you dont believe me try using one for a month, then find an alternative that has all the features you use plus the one that you are missing).
I dont disagree that torque needs something along the lines of project management, or at the very least a single centralised system of some form, but then again, torque needs users, developers far more importantly than it needs new features.
NB. since i mentioned the fact there are lots of unlinked websites, i should attempt to list them, Torque3d.org, github, wiki, forums, and trello. All of these sites are effectively independent from each other, all with varying degrees of information.

I'll simply say that I at least do not find further scattering of information a road to efficiency in any way shape or form, and ask:
What additional data is lacking in that you are looking for, exactly?

the scattering information i meant was for userspace specifically, with at least a couple of places with 'how to help' and specific help needed.
While i understand you and others have no issue, this goes partially to what i meant about adding new project management systems, and holding myself as a user in the middle in some respects. I have used various systems, some more complex than others some more obscure than others.
Github in my opinion is possibly the most user unfriendly system ive seen after redmine (I had a quote lined up about complexity vs friendliness but i lost it now), the worst part imo is the issues system which is nothing but a messy fucked up melting pot of ideas, issues, bugs, and the another 50% of stuff people dont actually give a rats ass about; Navigating this one useless ass system itself is a mini nightmare since only the overlords can but don't (in a timely fashion) actually decide what criteria a post fits in. This imo should be replaced with a real and dedicated bug tracking system
As the above shows, some people dont get along with the current system as much as others, we have massively reduced working portion of the community, changing to something they do not recognise is not something that should be done; the possible exceptions are:
Other systems that the current developers use
A discussion followed by shortlisting that highlights a system that would likely get more members of the community involved at a deeper level*
* the above has to not exclude current busy developers
As far as the milestones page is concerned, while its mostly what Johxz and the rest need regards a roadmap, i has in the past been very 'flexible' in some instances this cannot be helped, especially if you consider the mistake of actually adding a timeline to a project of this type. but even some features have been moved from one release to the next. Features get added, others slip back, developers disappear, new ones come. (Please note that these are not necessarily criticisms, more of a detailed 'this is how it is now' kind of thing)
I also do not currently have a solution to this particular problem, especially since most code is added on a voluntary basis based on the development of other peoples projects. I do think however that some features listed in the milestones (excluding bugs) could be weighted in terms of 'this is what the engine needs' regardless of what people are working on; this at least would provide a todo list of importance should other/new people want to engage.
Another thing that might be useful is some form of who is working on a task, while that might seem silly now since Az has his fingers in almost every pie, and jeff almost as bad, and this is where shows a lack of features. for example, i know that az and timmy are the go to people regarding the physx and dx11 if i want to help on that particular feature, but without digging into contributors of the branch thats a difficult thing to know.
now ive thoroughly derailed the original thread i'll go hang my head in shame somewhere

Well, part of the problem of picking a tracking software, is there's a lot of them, not all of them are good, and everyone has a difference preference, haha.
Let alone trying to keep everyone aware of what sites have what already as it is. As such, I went ahead and started up the Torque 3D Development forum in the main T3D area.
This will let us give more pointed direction to what issues, features or pull requests should get the priority for people that want to contribute can pitch in on. I've already created a stick in there that gives the basic lowdown, but the threads in it will be created by me and tied to a particular issue, feature request, or pull request that needs attention. As these are taken care of, the thread will be closed. This should make it a lot easier to keep tabs on what the priority stuff is.
I want to make a new entry to the 'how to create/submit a pull request' wiki page that isn't command-line instructions before that really gets opened up, but this should be a decent intermediate solution for now. It keeps everything localized to here, with relevent links to the wiki or github, while keeping things a bit more organized as to what should be looked at first.
Also, Blood raises and interesting point with trying to remember who's good with what in some cases if you wanted to ask someone that may have a better idea. If no one would have complaints, we could look at having some notable "experts" on certain things be referenced in the sticky, so anyone wanting to pitch in on a relevant issue or PR could know who may be a good match to talk to if they need a second opinion on something. Does that seem like it may be a good idea? Or does that seem like it'll get a few people a deluge of PMs and just annoy them?

thanks, the good point I see is that, I can track the progress of T3D in a better way... everything from one place without jumping forum, IRC or github, wiki...
I think now we can track the develop, the future features, test branches, even if someone have a separate branch now we are aware off and we can test it and report back.
At some point is needed update the roadmap if an outsider sees it, may think that is not done, and isn't true.

So notes from a recent IRC convo for those not in dealing with 'project specifications' as it were for a better comunity interface:
Primary concern raised was a two parter dealing with independent action:
1) The present Tag list at a minimum does a poor job of conveying what is a bug vs what is a proposed fix for a bug, making it more painful than it needs to be for folks to scan through looking for unattended or undressed tasks.
2) Raising awareness that issues put into milestones do not email folks to that effect without commentary. Makes it difficult to track what's slated for inclusion soon and what's had to be put off till later for a proper review.
Secondary concerns involved communication of interlocking operations:
1) Blockers: Stuff that needs to be rolled in first so other folks can adapt their own work needs a better method of conveyance.
2) Who's on First: Need some way of designating go-to leads for who is taking point on tasks that require collaboration to avoid folks stepping on one another's toes. This one'll need to be done outside of github proper as only SC members are able to receive formal assignments.
Edit: Addendum - Roadmap synchronization for wiki vs gihub has serious time-delay

How tired are 풀싸롱 of wine and painting parties? Anyone had foundation as many “spa days” as carbohydrates handle? Or perhaps even you assume you could take one more chick flick and gossipy dinner. If any of these sound such as you it ‘s time to kick girls’ particular date up a notch. A person to hit inside the strip rod.
Most almost daily the strippers at the Drink Club generally take off right down to their skimpy under ware. You don’t need to worry about seeing a great deal and not seeing lots. You will defiantly get a great show once the male stripper gets his groove with regards to. He will dance up and on the catwalk ensuring each patron gets the exciting show that they have paid towards.
The premise of enlisting only 3 people means you end up being earning money quickly. Anyone Drink Club need being aware of how easy this might really be – sufficient reason for only 8.25% commission, how much money may really earn.
Don’t be pushy. person is not interested, they then aren’t compelled. There is likely for you to become many folks around which might be ready to speak with.
The hash begins at a time “hares” laying down a trail and is followed using the “hounds” trying to stay across the trail without running into false trails and dead ends. No more the trail is called the On-After or the On-Down and is also also where everyone gets a chance socialize. Throughout the game there are beer stops (beer checks) and some beer drinking on the run. The most frequent term correctly is “on-on”, which ensures they are on house trail. It’s also the logo used by hashers, besides the symbol for a human twelve inches.
Have an index of questions in the book prepared – there are lots of online book clubs with question lists prepared numerous books, if you cannot find one for your book, create one. Work need a cordless the questions, but may well good if your discussion dries out.
Have a block of paper and extra pens with a person the first meeting, because people can write about the times, places and books, if they are offered unprepared.

Kerala-based poet Shamla P Thangal realizes her unfulfilled dreams through her writings
Kerala-based poet Shamla P Thangal realizes her unfulfilled dreams through her writings
Get-hooked October 26, 2020
hamla P Thangal is a poet from Nilambur in Kerala who published her first book in the year 2012. Amongst Shamla’s many dreams and aspirations, one is to crack the IAS exams. Read on to know more about her journey.
Shamla P Thangal, 26 years old, hails from Nilambur in Kerala. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, Shamla is weaving colorful dreams in the literature world. A poet who published her first book in the year 2012, she currently works as an office assistant at VKM Special School.
Growing up years
Shamla was born to couple Mohammad Koya Thangal and Subaida. She led a normal life any other child until age of two when she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Since Shamla couldn’t even move her hands or legs for a long time, her worried parents introduced her to various treatments. During that time, there were no awareness about disabilities either. Shamla was finally diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a renowned hospital in Trivandrum at the age of two.
Since her father moved to the UAE for a job, Shamla attended school with the help of her brother and a relative. In academics, Shamla excelled along with her peers due to which her parents wanted her to complete education in spite of her physical limitations. Her speech was affected, so Shamla started writing down whatever she had to convey.
Determination to pursue education
After completing her class 10 exams Shamla was awaiting results when her mother passed away. She joined class 11 in a nearby school. That is when her father decided to re-marry. Shamla was curious to spend time with the new member of the family. Her step-mother Jubairiya is her biggest pillar of strength, support and best friend.
“I was always adamant on bringing her outdoors. I never allowed Shamla to be confined inside the home. Now, she is a confident young girl who doesn’t like people looking at her as a person with a disability. She gets uncomfortable when people do that”, says Jubairiya.
Shamla became a part of the VKM Special School. Her father who returned back from the UAE started supporting Shamla’s dreams and she completed her BA Economics. While at college, Shamla met many new friends and got a new lease of life!
Shamla was gearing up to pursue her post-graduation when her father passed away in the year 2017. She felt the void, more like she was being pushed into the dark since her close people who always stood by her, were leaving her side.
Even during tough times, Shamla dreamt of completing her studies and securing a good job. Now she works as an office assistant at VKM Special School.
A passionate writer, poet
Shamla started writing from a young age. She used to pen down her feelings and emotions as small notes. Jubairiya used to help her write down what she had in mind. In 2012, her first book of poems was released in Malayalam called ‘Niramulla Swapnangal’ (colorful dreams).
“Shamla wants to complete her post-graduation and stand on her own feet. It was her father’s dream to see her secure IAS. So she hopes to start working on it”, says Jubairiya.
“As parents, it is important to stand by them and not let them confine to inside the home. I encourage Shamla to do everything in spite of people telling negative things. I feel happy when I see her smiling. I hope she can become an independent, young woman”, says Jubairya.

Purpose Automated scanpath comparison metrics should deliver an objective method to evaluate the similarity of scanpaths. The aim of this thesis is an evaluation of seven existing scanpath comparison metrics in static and dynamic tasks in order to provide a guidline that helps to decide which algorithm has to be chosen for a special kind of task. Methods The applicability of the algorithms for a static, visual search task and a dynamic, interactive video game task as well as their constraints and limitations were tested. Therefore, binocular gaze data were recorded by using the eye tracking system The Eye Tribe (The Eye Tribe ApS, Copenhagen/ Denmark). Objective task performance measures from 21 subjects were used in order to create scanpath groupings for which a relevant effect of dissimilarity was to be expected. Objective task performance measures such as task performance time were statistically evaluated and compared to the results gained by the comparison metrics. Results Four of the algorithms being used successfully identified differences for static and dynamic tasks: MultiMatch, iComp, SubsMatch and the Hidden Markov Model. ScanMatch was very sensitive for the static task but not applicable to the dynamic task whereas FuncSim was suitable for dynamic but not for static tasks. Eyenalysis failed to detect any effect. Conclusion The applicability of scanpath comparison metrics depends on the state of the task, respectively on the kind of experimental set up. In future, the application area for eye tracking will expand and an improvement of automated scanpath comparison metrics is therefore required.

Jackpot Rebates
When you play games for different amounts of money, the online slot sites will usually provide you with a small rebate for every real money you deposit. It is known as a jackpot rebate. It is common to see these rebates offered by most casinos on their website, and most players find them very rewarding when they spend large amounts of money on their games.
Paid Bonuses
Some เว็บสล็อตใหญ่ที่สุด gambling sites offer you a specific amount of money or percentage of your total amount to be credited to your account upon joining the site. It is a paid bonus, which can be received by sending a specific amount of actual or dollar money, depending on the site.

Referral Bonuses

Public confidence in the vaccine approval process is key to beating the pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci emphasized to the USA TODAY Editorial Board.
Adrianna Rodriguez USA TODAY
Published 11:47 am UTC Nov. 22, 2020 Updated 2:34 pm UTC Nov. 23, 2020
Americans are beginning to see light at the end of this year-long pandemic tunnel with Friday's announcement Pfizer and its partner BioNTech are submitting its candidate vaccine, BNT162b2, to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization.
The companies revealed earlier this week the vaccine was 95% effective. If it is authorized as swiftly as is expected, frontline health care workers could receive the first doses of the vaccine before the end of December.
While some people have shown enthusiasm at the prospect of a quick turnaround, others are more skeptical. How is it possible a vaccine that under normal circumstances would take years to approve could be ready to roll out in a couple of weeks and still be safe?
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, stressed to the USA TODAY Editorial Board last week public confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine approval process is key to beating the pandemic.
Before a vaccine is submitted for FDA authorization, an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) reviews clinical trial data to confirm it is safe. The committee is made up of career scientists who have experience serving in a DMC, have relevant expertise and experience in clinical trials, according to FDA guidance.
Throughout the trials, the committee members monitor effectiveness, safety and study conduct, and even consider interim changes depending on new data that may emerge from other studies.
About half the trial participants must be two months past their second shot as severe adverse effects are more likely to happen within six weeks. The DMC for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine study "has not reported any serious safety concerns related to the vaccine," the companies said in a statement. Fauci said he looked at the study data Sunday afternoon.
The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) will advise the FDA whether it should issue an emergency use authorization for the vaccine. VRBPAC is a group of outside experts who advise FDA on whether or not to approve drugs, therapeutics and vaccines after they have gone through FDA's rigorous approval process. The group plans to meet Dec. 10 to evaluate the Pfizer vaccine candidate.
A few days before the meeting, the FDA will release its own internal analysis, which will set the stage for the advisers' daylong debate about any signs of safety concerns and how the new vaccine technology works before rendering a verdict.
It’s important to note even if the candidate vaccine gets authorized and is distributed by the millions, it's still considered "investigational" until it goes through the full approval process and is issued a license. FDA has said all vaccines authorized under EUA will continue through to licensing.the 44,000-person study will continue to assess long term safety and effectiveness.
Anyone offered the authorized vaccine must get a “fact sheet” describing potential benefits and risks before going through with it, Dr. Marion Gruber, chief of FDA’s vaccine office, told the National Academy of Medicine this week.
Fauci stressed the importance of instilling vaccine confidence in the American public when it's available to the general population starting April through July. If most of the country gets vaccinated within that time frame, he estimates the U.S. can return to pre-pandemic normalcy by fall 2021.
No matter how well the vaccine works in preventing the coronavirus, it won’t end the pandemic if not enough people take it.
Vaccine efficacy is how well the vaccine works in a vaccinated group compared to a placebo group in a controlled trial. Vaccine effectiveness is the impact of the vaccine on the community and the dynamics of the disease, Fauci said.
If 30% to 50% of the population don't get vaccinated, Fauci says the efficacious vaccine has no chance of becoming effective in the community.

In this calculator, torque of M0 motor is less than the torque of M1 motor When i am giving same acceleration for the both motors. But all the arm weights & motor weights is acting on the M0 motor. So I think that the torque for M0 motor should be higher than the M1 motor. But it is not like that in calculator.

My copy of this book is the translation. Minoui is a French journalist. She did what I often do and she wondered about a photo she saw online. Then she did what I never do and contacted the photographer for more information. What followed was the story of people’s lives as they survived through war in Syria. It is an amazing book, it shows the power of books and how they can both make a difference and also change people’s lives.
The setting is the ancient city of Damascus. A city settled long before Christianity began, it has a rich history, full of importance. I’ve even found mentions of it in The Torah, an ancient text that is still read today in synagogues. It might also be mentioned in the Quran but I’ve not managed to find those. Civil wars are hell for everyone involved, soldiers, rebels, bystanders…everyone. In 2012, Daraya, a suburb of Damascus held some rebels. They were fighting back with everything they had. Their families escaped the area but they stayed and continued fighting. During their fight they found some books and started a library in a safe place. Thanks to that library they educated themselves and each other, reading books from all over the world including self-help books.
This book is their story. It is heartwarming and makes me feel totally undereducated. This book gives me a different insight to war, one I’ve never seen before. It shows me how the authorities can tap away at a person’s resolution. It also shows me how resilient people can be. We see their story partly through their eyes but also through the eyes of Minoui. She is desperate to help and all she can do is to get their story out, make sure people in the outside world understand what is happening. She uses all possible technology to talk to these forty people, time and time again.
It is an amazing book, one I struggled to put down for fear of losing my thread. If I’ve made you want to read this book then you can run at speed of your technology to this link to buy it right now. Your local bookshop might also have it in stock. Or even your local library. Just be sure to get this title, there is another book about the library in Daraya, one day I’ll read that too.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development has backed calls from the Confederation of British Industry for a freeze in national minimum wage for younger workers.
Both groups say a rise in the rate for under 22 year olds not sustainable under current trading conditions and would ultimately end up costing jobs as well as making young people a less attractive pool of potential resource. It says only a nominal rise, pegged to inflation, should be applied to the minimum wage for those aged 22 and over.
“In a recession it is vital that the preservation and creation of jobs takes priority over pay increases,” says CIPD. “The current downturn is having a far bigger impact on young people than other age groups and it is important to avoid any changes that makes this group less attractive to employers.”
Last week, Richard Lambert, director general of the CBI, said: “Although the overall impact of the minimum wage has been positive, trade-offs clearly do exist in terms of employment prospects. That has clear implications for how the minimum rate for young people should be set in the future.”
The comments were solicited after reports circulated that Labour is planning a sharp rise in the minimum wage in order to boost the economy from the bottom up.
However, “businesses should be free to negotiate pay levels with staff individually according to what is affordable during these tough times, rather than keep up with a one size fits all pay rise,” agreed John Wright of the Federation of Small Businesses

The Offspring and Sum 41 have shared new dates for their postponed Australian tour, which now hits Perth’s HBF Stadium on Saturday, December 3.
The shows were originally supposed to take place in 2020 but were postponed indefinitely in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the two years since the tour was first announced, The Offspring released their 10th studio album, Let The Bad Times Roll.
Offspring frontman Dexter Holland said that they were “all super stoked to be coming back to Australia.”
One of the world’s most popular punk bands, The Offspring have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and return to Australia for their first headline tour in 18 years.
In true Offspring style, this is set to be no ordinary show. Expect wall-to-wall bangers of their anthemic, oft-humorous punk-pop singles throughout an impressive career including all of the band’s best-known hits such as Self Esteem, Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated), The Kids Aren’t Alright, Original Prankster, You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid and more.
Joining this titanic double bill is SUM 41. After over 15 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award nomination, two Juno Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, SUM 41 will be performing hits such as Fat Lip, In Too Deep, Still Waiting and tracks from their latest release, Order In Decline. They are currently readying their eighth studio album (and first double album), Heaven And Hell, which is scheduled for release in the coming months.
The Offspring and SUM 41 play HBF Stadium on Saturday, December 3, 2022. Tickets go on sale Monday, June 13 from

Apologies for the long absence! This year has had quite a learning curve on how to be twin parents and keep the farm running smoothly but we are still here!
We have exciting news pertaining to our Nubian herd - we are excited to share the news that two of our home-bred does have been officially recognized as leaders of their breed nation-wide. For those who don't know, ten does are recognized each year within their breed nation-wide in three categories: milk production, butterfat production and protein production. Only ten does - also known as the Top Ten.
Our doe SG Camelot Cattle Co Mischief 2*M made this elite list in 2019 ranking #3 in milk, #3 in butterfat and #9 protein. Now that the 2020 lists are out we can proudly share that she is #1 in milk, #2 in butterfat and #5 in protein!
We had another doe also make the 2020 list at #4 in butterfat - Camelot Cattle Co Fawkes 2*M. We are very proud of our hard working girls!
Also worth mentioning that our buck +*B Tamris Farm Sap's Onyx is officially ranked as a 2021 CDCB Top Buck at 95%. Pretty exciting stuff!
**Now on to the announcement.** We have held out as long as we could but the cost of keeping our dairy running has just increased too much for us to continue at our current prices. Obviously we can't continue to provide our customers with a quality product if our business is operating at a loss. So as much as it pains us, beginning January 1, 2022, our cow milk prices will be increasing from $2.50 per half gallon to $3.00 per half gallon. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes our customers. We really appreciate all of you!
In closing, here are pictures of our two does who are leading their breed nation-wide! (click on thumbnails to view)
Spring at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on June 2, 2021
Spring at Camelot Cattle Company has been a completely new experience for all of us this year. In the past, spring meant a blur of goats kidding night and day, training goat kids to bottle feed, training first time milkers, and getting everyone back in the routine of milking. This year we had all of that and also infant twins being exclusively breastfed which is more than a full time job in and of itself.
Anyone who knows us, knows that Marc and I are not effusive in our relationship with each other but I think this grouchy old farmer deserves a shout out so if that's not your thing, please feel free to scroll down for a cute picture.
When I first found out I was expecting, I thought I would be able to babywear and hardly have a hiccup in working around the farm. Even after we found out it was twins, I thought I would be able to get back to work shortly after delivery. However, a full term twin pregnancy and then major abdominal surgery to deliver them took it's toll on my body - that coupled with the fact that our twins are huge beasts of babies meant that I couldn't even wear one of them, let alone both and I was in no condition to work anyway. Even now, 7 months post partum, I am unable to do even a single sit up, let alone pick up a sack of feed or bale of hay. Also, the twins just keep getting more and more challenging and it is just about all I can do to survive taking care of them. I was so naive.
I am so grateful that as hard as it has been on him, that my husband has stepped up and taken on almost all of my farm chores in addition to his own. He has been milking the goats and bottle feeding the goat kids and even took care of my hay burners (horses) until I was able to get back to that myself. He is sometimes (actually, most of the time) grouchy about it but I still see his love for our family through his actions. I know he is always in pain and tired but he gets up at 4:30 every morning to start his days. Most days we hardly see him because he is out working all day, many evenings not coming in until the twins are already in bed - some evenings not coming in until I am in bed as well.
So, with that shout out to a tired, grouchy, wonderful farmer/dad/husband, here is a picture of our babies with another young member of our herd.
Camelot Cattle Co Update (finally)
Posted by Michelle DeLong on February 2, 2021
Perhaps I should just aim for seasonal posts from here on out since I seem to have missed fall and half the winter at this point. My only excuse is that being a new mom to twins on the farm is even more consuming than expected. While I was able to continue with my chores up until hours before the twins were born, Marc has taken over all of my farm chores since then. We have good babies, but there are two of them and they are still babies with different individual needs so I am basically held hostage by those needs. I feel very blessed to have a husband willing to work himself ragged taking care of my share of the work as well as wonderful family who are willing to come help with the babies because twins are hard! I miss my farm chores and being able to be out and about with my animals all the time and I am definitely looking forward to a time when it is warm enough to cart these babies out with me so I can get back to it!
Although we did cut back on herd numbers in preparation for the twins' arrival, we still have 11 does to kid this spring so I am praying for a smooth kidding season as well as unseasonably warm weather so I can hopefully bring the twins to the barn with me for bottle feeding goat babies.
A few neat things happened in December - one being that our doe SG Camelot Cattle Co Mischief Ex90 made the Elite list again. We also had a great appraisal for the Jerseys - Ronde PC Gun Hadassah maxed out at Ex91 and Ronde Golden QT became our first homebred cow to go Ex95.
Hopefully I will be able to find the time to post before another 5 months passes but for now, I have babies vying for my attention. Hope you all are well! In closing here is a picture of the new farm hands.
July and August at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on September 1, 2020
Apparently posting about every two months has become my new normal. My only excuse is that third trimester of a twin pregnancy is challenging. I find just getting my chores around the farm done takes everything I have. I did sell several goats to lighten my load but I am still milking 8 does and there are still 30 goats to care for in addition to the horses, cattle, dogs and other chores. A twin pregnancy on the farm is definitely a new kind of adventure for me.
We do have some pretty exciting news to share. Our Nubian doe, SG Camelot Cattle Co Mischief 2*M Ex90 (a.k.a. Missy), not only earned her superior genetics and elite status for her 2019 lactation but also earned her place among the nation's top ten breed leaders. The official 2019 list came out at the end of August and Missy is #3 in milk production, #3 in butterfat production and #9 in protein production. We are so blessed and looking forward to seeing what her genetics can do for the Nubian breed in the future!
We do have a full brother to Missy available for sale so if any of our fellow Nubian breeders are interested in bringing in some fantastic genetics to their herd, just let us know.
We have had a few more Jersey babies born in the last couple of months which means we have a few more Jersey girls milking so if you want extra milk or know of anyone who may be interested in getting some milk, we have plenty to go around.
With our twins due in less than 6 weeks, this may be the last blog post until after they arrive so until then, hope you all stay well!
In closing, here is a picture of our elite doe, SG Camelot Cattle Co Mischief 2*M Ex90, who made the nation's breed leader top ten list.
May and June at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on June 21, 2020
Sorry for the delayed blog post yet again. Unfortunately it may become a habit with our becoming parents in addition to our regular farm duties but I still want to try to stay in touch with everyone. We will just have to find a good balance as we move forward! :)
The cows all got their bi-annual pedicures last week. Having to bend over this baby bump to trim feet on the goats makes me wish I had a professional able to come do them all at once like we do the cows. I am only able to do so much right now and by the time I get through trimming the final goat, the first ones I trimmed are needing done again!
In the last post I shared a recipe for a fudge made with goat milk and one of our followers tried it out and was kind enough to not only share photos but also brought samples for Marc and me to try - and boy, it was delicious! If you haven't tried it out, it is definitely worth it! Thanks to Laura and her kids for sharing their experience and delicious fudge with us!
Pictures courtesy of Laura at Beaming Hollow Farm
Marc and I have been discussing the possibility that we may dry the goats off earlier than usual this year because of the high risk nature of twin pregnancies and the uncertainty of when our sweet babies might make an appearance along with not knowing how long I may be out of commission. So, if you are wanting to try goat milk fudge or need to stock up on goat milk for the dry season, now is the time to get it. I am going to try to keep milking through the summer at least but then we may be looking at drying them up and possibly even selling a handful of does to lighten my load until we find our balance as new parents.
In addition to selling a few does, we also have a few bucks and wethers available for sale as well so let us know if you are interested. As always, all goats are from our tested clean herd and very people oriented and friendly.
We will be milking the cows year round as always regardless so it will remain business as usual other than availability of goat milk this fall/winter. We want you all to know, we appreciate each and every one of you - God bless!
April-ish at Camelot Cattle Co - plus recipe!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on May 12, 2020
Busy time of year plus being pregnant has really put a damper on time to keep up on things such as this blog. I apologize for that! As for the end of March, all of April, and the first half of May (goodness I am so embarrassed it has been that long!) - we have still been here plugging away on the farm. I sold a few milking does to lighten my load a bit but I am still milking 9 does every 12 hours and bottle feeding 12 kids three times a day. We are milking 10 cows as well and trying to get them prepared for their classification this week. Our linear appraisal for the goats was canceled this year due to Covid-19 but really with everything going on I think that is definitely for the best. I already feel like I have enough on my plate for the year. We are still participating in DHIR so at least their production records will not be interrupted.
We did have our wonderful professional photographer out again this year and she got some pictures of some of our lovely ladies. The cow, Hot Topic, was extremely easy and gave our newest helpers a false sense of how livestock photography goes. A couple of the goats then educated them on having a more realistic expectation on the subject. Hopefully we can convince them to assist on picture day again. Haha For those who don't know, it takes a crew of at least 6 people to take a professional picture of a cow or doe and much more time and patience than anyone who hasn't done it before realizes. We do so appreciate our photographer's patience and talents!
Speaking of pictures, on a recent ultrasound, Marc and I found out that our coming twins are a boy and a girl - we are pretty excited about that! On a little different note, at just 16 weeks in I am already understanding why my pregnant goats moan and snore and grunt and groan so much! In addition to my daily feeding and milking chores I have been trying to do my normal spring routine of clipping goats in preparation for summer heat and trimming their feet, etc. I am doing my own share of grunting and groaning! Lol
In closing, I am going to share a recipe I recently came across for Chocolate Goat Milk Fudge. It is said to be the richest, smoothest, most melt-in-your-mouth fudge you'll ever taste!
2 1-oz squares unsweetened chocolate (or substitute 1/3 cup cocoa and 3 TB butter)
3/4 cup fresh goat milk
2 cups sugar
1 tsp light corn syrup
2 TB butter
1 tsp vanilla
Melt chocolate in milk. Add sugar and corn syrup; cook slowly, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Cook gently to softball stage (234°), stirring frequently. Remove from heat; add butter and cool at room temperature until lukewarm (110°) without stirring. Add vanilla; beat vigorously until fudge becomes very thick and loses its gloss. Quickly spread in buttered pan. When firm, cut into squares. Makes about 2 dozen pieces.
We do have fresh goat milk available if you want to give the recipe a try!
February (and most of March!) at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on March 22, 2020
I apologize for being MIA at the beginning of the month when I usually post! Not only are we still dealing with seemingly unending rain and mud but February and March has brought craziness around here...some expected seasonal craziness (kidding season) and some craziness that is completely novel to us! If you don't already know what I'm talking about, take a look:
Marc and I were so excited to find out in February that we were expecting...then we found out this month it is to be twins! I am so thankful to God for this miracle and also that my first trimester has been relatively uneventful and I was able to be there for all my does kidding without incident. All of this has kept me pretty busy though so some things have taken a back burner - such as my regular blog post! I will also be taking a hiatus from soap making per my doctor's recommendation. We do still have some soap stocked up for the store so if you need soap, feel free to stop by. I am hoping there is enough stocked up to get everyone through until I am able to make it again.
In other news, we have been asked by several people recently if we are still open and still have milk available with the current events going on in the world. YES, we are open and YES we have milk available. We are considered an essential business being both agricultural and a food provider so we will continue to provide milk for our customers every day as usual. We have always been a clean workplace, but we have ramped up our efforts by increasing the frequency of wiping down every surface with CDC-approved solutions. Our routine lives are basically socially distancing already (seriously) but we are taking every effort to best serve the needs of our customers in a manner that promotes health and safety for all.
On a different note, I turned a year older in February but that seemed to pass in a blur of readying maternity pens for goats and checking barn cameras through the nights. Very glad I did have them ready early because our first two goat babies were born very premature in the middle of the night. I was present at the birth and able to set them up a temporary NICU in the house until they were stronger and eventually they grew strong enough to go back out to the barn with the other kids that had been born in the meantime. We still aren't finished kidding but we've already had 27 kids born this year, all being bottle fed three times a day. Their mommas are being milked twice a day and soon I will be watching maternity cameras again. These goats keep me hopping!
January at Camelot Cattle Co - FREE RECIPE
Posted by Michelle DeLong on February 9, 2020
January was, in a word, muddy...at least when the mud wasn't frozen solid. Marc and I have basically just been slogging and slipping through trying to keep everyone happy and healthy and prepare for March when we are expecting an explosion of goat babies and a number of Jersey babies as well.
You know what gets me through some of these days when I'm either breaking ice or fighting to keep the mud from sucking the boots right off my feet? Food. Yes, some days just thinking about getting back inside out of the weather with some comfort food is what keeps me going. I don't know about you but I love yogurt and I go through a LOT of it! It is easier than you would think to make your own yogurt at home so here is a recipe if you want to give it a try:
Ingredients
1/2 gallon whole farm fresh milk
3-4 T unsweetened yogurt with active live cultures
cheese cloth
thermometer
Instructions
Turn oven on lowest setting for 10 minutes and then turn it off but leave the light on.
Heat milk gently in a pot on the stove to 180 F.
Add 3-4 T of yogurt. (Do not add more than 2 T yogurt per quart of milk or your end product will be sour and watery.) Cover and wrap in a towel and then place in the oven - the oven light will act as an incubator.
Other options for incubating your yogurt are a heating pad on low or an incubator made for yogurt or a crock pot on warm. The goal is to keep the yogurt at a steady 100-110 F for about 8 hours.
After 8 hours strain with a cheese cloth and once it is the desired consistency store in an air tight container in the fridge. When it is cold, it is ready to eat.
I strain to a Greek style consistency and eat it plain but it can be sweetened or flavored any way you like. It is delicious with all kinds of fruit as a dip, in smoothies, on cookies, and even as a dressing for salads, baked potatoes, etc. It is truly a versatile food that I, personally, can not do without!
In closing, here is a frosty morning photo of me and my sweet Olaf. God bless!
December at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on January 7, 2020
Wow, 2020?! Pretty crazy how fast time flies! I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed Christmas and New Year! Marc and I managed to spend some time with our families between chores and milking which is, as always, a wonderful and fun time. God blessed us with beautiful, warm weather on Christmas which helps us tremendously in getting to spend time with our families since we don't have extra cold weather chores such as breaking ice or hauling extra bedding to all the critters.
We had a couple of baby calves join us in December including this cutie pie, Fiona, who will one day join our milking herd. Her mother's name is Festive so her being extra festive on Christmas day seemed not only appropriate but necessary! :)
Two of our goats received special awards in December. The Superior Genetics awards take into account production and type and are tangible proof that our breeding and management program is working. Not only did Mischief and Raven earn their SG designation by being within the top 15% of their breed nationally but they were also both in the top 5% of their breed nationally which makes them *ELITE* does on top of that. We are just so blessed and proud of our girls!
On a completely different note, as some of you know, I offer horse boarding to a few folks. The horse pasture is about 1.5 miles from the house. Some of the boarders were very pleased when Marc surprised me with a very special Christmas gift this year...a Porta Potty for the horse pasture! I have never seen him so excited to gift me with something haha! I also gifted the boarders with a brand new hitching rail to tie their horses to so we have some very happy boarders this Christmas season. :)
I always drive Marc batty listening to (and singing along with) Christmas music as much as I can squeeze in without him knocking me over the head every year but even so, it always makes me a little sad to put away the Christmas decorations each year. I put them away today but I am stubbornly listening to Christmas music as I type this - sorry Marc!
In closing, we want to say thank you to all of our customers for your business and also for thinking of us this Christmas - your beautiful cards and heartfelt gifts were so appreciated! God bless you all and here's to a phenomenal 2020!!
November at Camelot Cattle Co - plus free recipe!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on December 7, 2019
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Crazy that it is already December and only a couple of weeks from Christmas! It has pretty much been business as usual around here the past month - milking every 12 hours, working on fence, feeding, bedding, cleaning, watering and occasionally breaking ice out of waterers (thankful that is only occasional!).
One thing of note, however, is that two of our home-bred Nubian does not only earned their Superior Genetics awards but also earned *ELITE* status which means they are within the top 5% of their breed nationwide for production and type. Pretty exciting stuff for our goat herd!
Some news specific to our goat milk customers: our goats are drying off in preparation for kidding in March so goat milk customers plan on perhaps switching to our Jersey milk in a few weeks. January and February is time-off for the goats so they can rest and eat and grow their babies. We will have goat milk available again in March/April.
I also want to remind ALL of our customers that we milk the cows every 12 hours year round. They don't take holidays so neither do we. The store is always open and stocked with fresh milk...even around and ON holidays, so please feel free to come to the store when you need to, even if it is on a holiday. :)
Now, free recipe time! I have shared this one before but we have SO many more subscribers now that I wanted to share it again. It is such a delicious treat, especially this time of year, and you can get most of the ingredients right here in our store - raw and local!
Nutritious (and delicious) Hot Cocoa!
Ingredients
3 tablespoons of natural, unsweetened cacao powder
2 tablespoons raw, local honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups raw, grass-fed whole milk
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine cacao powder, honey and vanilla. Stir until it makes a paste. This helps break up any lumps. You can gently warm the honey to make mixing easier if needed. Gently warm the milk to desired temperature. Add the cacao mixture to the warm milk; stir until cacao mixture has completely dissolved. This makes enough hot cocoa for two jumbo mugs or four regular mugs but the recipe is easily doubled if you want to make more!
Optional Add-Ins:
Cinnamon: About ¼ teaspoon adds just a little extra spice to your hot cocoa.
Sea Salt: Just a pinch will add a bit of a savory note to the sweet and adds extra nutrients and minerals. We like pink Himalayan sea salt.
Whipped Cream: Pour some cream off the top of your fresh Jersey milk and whip it up for the perfect hot cocoa garnish.
Butter: Pour some cream off the top of your fresh Jersey milk, let it warm to about 60 degrees and then shake/churn it into butter. Add about 1 tablespoon and then blend for extra creamy rich hot cocoa.
Everyone have a safe and blessed Christmas!
October at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on November 8, 2019
Here I am, yet again, posting later than planned. I can't say much except I just never seem to have enough day to get everything accomplished that I want to accomplish. I had hoped to get caught up on the blog yesterday but ended up taking my pet steer, Olaf, to the vet and that actually took up most of the day! If you don't know about Olaf, he has his own page on this site as well as his own Facebook page and you might want to check him out. He's kind of a BIG deal around here...here's a picture of me with Olaf yesterday to give you an idea of just how BIG. ;)
Olaf is fine, if you are wondering. He had a sore foot but he is already feeling better. He had a wellness exam while he was at the clinic and he has a clean bill of health as well as being a huge hit with his vets.
Anyway, back to October. We started off the month with no heat in the house. Unfortunately we had not tested the furnace until it got VERY cold out. Also unfortunately, the necessary part had to be ordered in so we went over a week sleeping in a VERY cold house. Bright side, I learned that sleeping while wearing polar fleece layers and a sock hat is actually quite cozy. Marc mentioned laying bed rolls out in front of the fireplace in the store but I thought that might frighten some of our late arriving customers so we decided to tough it out in the house. You're welcome. ;)
With October over, all 13 does have now been bred and I have started drying a few of the milkers up which will free up some of my time. I had enough time in mid-October to host my first painting party here at the farm. All 5 of my nephews, my sister, sister-in-law, mother and grandmother all had a blast learning the art of acrylic pouring. I really enjoyed sharing that passion of mine with all of them! I also hope to devote some of this newly-discovered free time to making more soap and also doing some work around the farm that has taken a back burner during the busy "goat season" which is basically most of the year. Ha! I love my goats but I am looking forward to having some time to spend on other things while they take a short break from milking to incubate this spring's kids to perfection!
Speaking of kids, all the new first time milking Jerseys are settling into the routine well, although we do still get some antics from the youngsters...such as these goofy girls (Qi and Hot Topic) making us milk them while they eat on their knees.
Thankfully, the girls seem to grow out of these shenanigans as they mature because it makes milking them just a little more acrobatically challenging than we would prefer.
In closing, I would love to know if anyone has tried the cottage cheese recipe I posted last month so please email me at and let me know if you tried it and how it turned out! Or if you have tried any of the recipes I have posted on the blog or have any recipe requests or ideas, let me know!
I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving! God bless!
September at Camelot Cattle Co - FREE RECIPE!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on October 7, 2019
Sorry this post is coming a little bit later than usual but it has been crazy busy here the last week or so. Goat breeding season started the first of October with 8 does coming in heat and getting bred in the first few days. For those who don't already know, this entails hiking a quarter mile down to the buck pens and leading the chosen buck all the way back up to the does. Our mature bucks weigh anywhere from 200-300 lbs and are very enthusiastic about their job so you might be able to imagine this is a bit of a workout! I let the buck breed one or two chosen does and then hike him back to his pen. If he has more than that to breed, I bring him back up after a few hours. We have 6 bucks so many times this means I am hiking back and forth with those big, enthusiastic beasts from the time morning chores end until evening chores begin.
Before breeding season began, I actually found some time to ride my horses. It was wonderful to spend some time with my beloved horses and I hope to be able to do that more once breeding season is over. We had several more Jersey babies born in September and new young cows to train to be milked which can be an adventure in and of itself! We also found out that Marc's knee surgery can wait and he is getting around better, praise the Lord!
Mirage - one of my favorite horses (p.s. they're all my favorites) ;)
Now for the recipe! This is a little different from past recipes I've posted because this is a recipe I just recently came across and I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet! I have made cottage cheese before but I always used a culture. This recipe is very simple and only requires our raw Jersey milk and a little salt! As soon as I get a chance I will be trying this but if anyone else tries it, let me know how it turns out for you!
Cultured Raw Milk Cottage Cheese - full of good bacteria and enzymes!
Ingredients:
1/2 gallon of raw Jersey milk
sea salt to taste
Instructions:
Skim the cream from the raw milk and refrigerate.
Bring the raw milk to room temperature in a wide mouth glass jar or bowl. Cover jar/bowl with a coffee filter or cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band.
Allow the milk to clabber for 24-48 hours until pleasantly sour and the consistency of yogurt throughout. *note: cooler temps may take more time to clabber.
Pour the clabbered milk into a heavy-bottomed pot and place it over low heat.
Warm the milk slowly, stirring frequently with a slotted spoon, until it reaches between 100 and 110°F. Be careful not to heat the milk to a higher temperature because the beneficial enzymes and bacteria begin to die.
As the milk warms, curds will begin to separate from the whey and form cottage cheese. Stir gently so as not to disturb the curd too much.
Once the curds are separated, or the 110°F is reached immediately remove the pot from the heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the curds with a slotted spoon or pour the curds and whey through a cheesecloth-lined colander.
Transfer the curds to a bowl and salt them to taste.
Stir in the reserved cream for a creamier cottage cheese.
*Note: The curds tend to sweeten after separating from the whey and straining so don't worry if
the sourness is a little strong in the beginning.
August at Camelot Cattle Co - FREE RECIPE!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on September 5, 2019
August at Camelot Cattle Company brought several new Jersey babies and first time momma Jerseys being trained to be milk cows. As these new young milkers are added, we let some of our more mature cows go to other herds. Our 3 year old, Ronde Tequila Qapuchin Ex90, went to Courtney Farms in Oklahoma this month where we hope to see her do great things for their herd. Ronde Image Savannah Ex90 went to be a family milk cow in northern Missouri where she is being unbelievably pampered and loved. Here is a picture of her in her new home.
Some of you may have noticed Marc is hobbling around more than usual. A recent MRI found he has a torn meniscus that will most likely require surgery and lengthy healing process. I am thankful there is a solution to that as well as his recently diagnosed sleep apnea. Hopefully his doctors will have him somewhat put back together in working order soon!
Now for the free recipe! I've had several people ask about cheese so I am going to share a cheese recipe that I have used many times. Panir cheese is an Indian cheese similar to farmer cheese and is one of the simplest types of unripened cheeses to make. It is rather mild and readily absorbs the flavors of the herbs and spices used with it in cooking. You will need 1 gallon of whole milk, 8 tablespoons of lemon juice or 2 teaspoons of citric acid dissolved in 3/4 cup hot water; 1-2 cups of hot water is optional to make the finished cheese softer.
1. In a large pot, directly heat the milk to a gentle boil, stirring often to prevent scorching.
2. Reduce the heat to low and, before the foam subsides, drizzle in the lemon juice. Cook for 10-15 seconds.
3. Remove from the heat and continue to stir gently until large curds form. (If the whey is still milky
instead of clear, return it to the heat and increase the temperature a bit or add more coagulant.)
4. Once you obtain a clear separation of curds and whey, remove from the heat and let set for 10
minutes. For a very soft cheese, add the hot water.
5. When the curds have settled below the whey, they are ready to drain. Ladle the curds in to a
colander lined with butter muslin. Tie the corners of the muslin into a knot and hold the bag under
a gentle stream of lukewarm water for 5-10 seconds to rinse off the coagulating agent. Gently
twist the top of the muslin to squeeze out extra whey.
6. At this point, either hang the bag of curds to drain for 2-3 hours or return the muslin-covered curd
mass to the colander and place a bowl of water, a brick, or some other form of 5-pound weight on
top and press for 2 hours.
7. Unwrap the cheese. Eat it right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
If you want to try something a little bit different, Chenna cheese is essentially the same as Panir but it is kneaded while still warm into a light, velvety smooth, whipped cream consistency. It is an essential ingredient in many Bengali sweets.
1. Follow the recipe for Panir through step 5.
2. Return the wrapped cheese to the colander, place a 5-pound weight on top, and press for 45
minutes.
3. Unwrap the still-warm cheese and place on a smooth, clean work surface. Break it apart and press
with a clean cloth to remove any remaining whey.
4. Knead the cheese by pressing out with the heel of your palm and the flat of your hand. Gather up
the cheese with a spatula and continue kneading for up to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is light
and velvety smooth, without any grainy texture.
5. Add salt, minced green chiles, herbs, and/or pepper, if desired.
6. Shape the cheese into flat patties and shallow-fry them, if desired. If you are not going to eat them
right away, fry them just before serving.
7. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 1-2 weeks.
I hope you all enjoy these simple cheese recipes! I have had fun trying all different kinds of seasonings with these cheeses, from savory to sweet!
July at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on August 1, 2019
July went by so fast! I haven't had the chance to make new soaps yet like I had hoped due to trying to keep up with the goat herd's hoof trimming which with all the wet weather and good feed has been difficult to keep up with. We are also working to try to get the Jerseys all clipped off again before their appraisal in less than a week. On top of all that, we are still trying to catch up on getting hay put up for winter. Thankfully we had another nice dry stretch last week for that. It is funny how it always seems that the season we're in currently is the busiest but a break is right around the corner...just not sure when we'll ever turn that corner! Ha!
We had two new Jersey babies born this month out of two of our older cows. The new little girls are named Quality and Quintessence and should be wonderful additions to our dairy herd. Quintessence is pictured here with her Ex94 dam within minutes of birth.
I did manage to get a few new paintings put up in our store recently so be sure to check them out next time you visit. I have also finally gotten set up with a good quality print shop so I will soon be offering quality prints of some of my artwork in limited quantities.
Also, the local raw honey in our store has been restocked and they've added new products - adorable baby honey bears and boxes of honeycomb so be sure to check that out too!
I hope you all had a wonderful July and I am looking forward to see what August brings. Maybe we'll find that corner soon.... ;)
June at Camelot Cattle Co - FREE RECIPE!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on July 2, 2019
Many of you have seen the dainty little elderly dog out around the barns on nice days. June brought one of the hardest decisions of my life when Kibbles' body and mind were failing her to the point that her quality of life was suffering. At 18 years old there was just no hope for an improvement. Kibbles has been my companion for more than half my life so it was a difficult decision - it was the right decision for her but that doesn't keep me from looking around for her on occasion before the realization hits me again that she will not lay her head in my lap ever again. A portrait of her in her prime now graces the store in her memory.
On a happier note, we were finally able to get some hay baled this month. We are still sadly behind due to all the rain but at least we were able to get some baled dry! The weather also held out for our annual visit from our church's summer camp. Many of these kids have never been out of the big city or seen farm animals in real life. They get to come and experience horseback riding and riding in a horse-drawn wagon as well as meeting some of the other farm animals. I love that we get to share the joy of horses and country living with these kiddos every year!
I finally feel like things are calming down around here just enough that I might be able to get back to work in my soap room and my art studio a bit more. Both have been neglected since kidding season! I am hoping to add some new soaps very soon so stay tuned!
In closing, I would like to share with you one of our favorite recipes for this time of year. Be sure to grab an extra bottle or two of milk because you will definitely want to try this easy recipe for the best ever Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream! It is ridiculously easy and this base recipe can be built on with all kinds of variations by adding fruit or your favorite extracts, etc. Are you ready? Here it is: 1 half gallon bottle of our Jersey cow milk, stir in 2 cups of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Churn in an ice cream maker and voila! Best vanilla ice cream ever in less than 30 minutes! Enjoy! :)
Have a safe and happy 4th!
May at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on June 5, 2019
May has brought lots and lots of rain to Camelot Cattle Company. Fortunately the super destructive weather has missed us thus far although we are woefully behind on getting hay cut and baled. Our hearts and minds are with the Lin-Crest Dairy in Kansas who weren't as fortunate and lost some really nice cows along with their entire farm to a direct hit from an F5 tornado last week. We can't even imagine the emotions they are dealing with but we are thankful the family all made it through safely. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
Our goat herd's annual linear appraisal took place in the middle of May. For those who aren't familiar with this, linear appraisal is a program provided by the American Dairy Goat Association. A sanctioned appraiser comes to assess each individual goat on the farm and evaluate individual type traits that affect structural and functional durability. Basically they are compared to the perfect Nubian and awarded a score; 100 would be that perfect Nubian (doesn't exist). 90 and above is considered Excellent (E), 85-89 is considered Very Good (V). The scoring system goes on down through Good Plus, Acceptable, Fair and Poor. Goats are not allowed to be awarded an Excellent score until they have freshened (had kids) at least twice so first fresheners can only score up to V89. Having a herd of Excellent mature animals (excellent examples of their breed) is something we reach for. That said, we appraised 7 does, 4 of which are first fresheners. All of our mature does went Excellent and our first fresheners all went Very Good including first freshener Veela who maxed out at V89 and several other V88 first fresheners.
The week following appraisal, we hosted the annual State Jersey Picnic here at Camelot Cattle Company. We had a great turn out and raised a lot of money for the Jersey Club to use towards scholarships, cow camps, judging team trips, show awards, etc. We love seeing folks get (and stay) involved in this wonderful breed!
Now, with May behind us, we are grateful for the life-giving rain we have gotten; it is definitely better than the drought of last year because we can graze the livestock right now on all this lush green grass. However, if we are unable to get hay cut and baled, our winter hay supply is going to be hurting just as badly as it was last year. We are praying for some dry weather that will allow us to get hay cut, baled and stored for winter.
Yes, we do indeed need some dry weather for haying but can't deny we get some pretty scenery in the storm aftermath....
April at Camelot Cattle Co and our drawing winner!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on May 4, 2019
April was slightly less crazy than March, ha! I am still bottle feeding more than a dozen baby goats which is almost a full time job in itself and even though there are less kids now than last month, they are going through 9 gallons of milk a day now! There are still 4 kids to sell and 1 kid that is sold but hasn't been picked up yet...8 are staying here.
I have been trying to get all the momma goats' hair clipped off before linear appraisal which is a week from today. The cows are getting clipped off as well for the warmer weather so they will be more comfortable.
April brought us three new Jersey babies--gotta love those sweet baby Jersey faces! Pictured is second time momma Qapuchin with her brand new heifer; ol' Quickie is keeping an eye on them in the background.
Marc and I had our 8th anniversary on April 30th. We celebrated as we usually do--working on the farm--but had the added excitement of tornadic storms blowing in during evening chores and milk time so we ended up milking in between the most serious threats. Fortunately, we did not get storm damage other than some flooding. Probably a good thing...our mud was getting dehydrated. ;)
I want to thank those who participated in our most recent drawing. The recipes and stories are great and chatting with you all was fun! Everyone who participated was entered into an online random drawing tool and this time, Lori McCormack won. She will be claiming a week's worth of free milk for her family on her next visit. Congratulations Lori!
Our next drawing will likely be an interactive one as well because I liked hearing from everyone so stay tuned for details on that and, as always, God bless! :)
March at Camelot Cattle Co -- we have goat milk!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on April 5, 2019
March was a crazy busy month but we made it through kidding season with 11 does having 29 kids and all of them happy and healthy. There was much lost sleep and missed meals so I apologize to anyone who may have seen the stumbling zombie possibly covered in afterbirth that was me for most of March.
Now that we have survived kidding season, we once again have goat milk available to our customers. If you want some goat milk, take a look on the left side of the refrigerator in the store - it will be in the green-capped bottles. It is $4 per half gallon.
We are glad to finally have some spring weather, and, although the mud has been a bit excessive, we are happy to not be in a drought and to see some green grass poking up. There has been a lot of spring cleaning around the farm and hoof trimming and, of course, lots of bottle feeding! About half of the kids have gone to their new homes already but the kids still here are drinking about 8 gallons of milk a day!
Here is a small hint of what it is like around here right now....
A note for our goat friends, we do have a few Nubian kids still available - check out our For Sale page for details. Also, we are starting to make some hard decisions about what mature goats to sell this year to make room for the youngsters we've kept so stay tuned for those sale announcements if you're interested.
Also, now that things are calming down around here a little, we hope to have another drawing for free stuff but this time instead of drawing from everyone on the mailing list, we may just draw from those on the mailing list who choose to participate and interact so be watching for details on that!
God bless you all! :)
February at Camelot Cattle Co--plus my new favorite hot drink!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on March 6, 2019
February was a busy month preparing for our busiest season--spring! March brings kidding season for our goats. As of today, we've had two does kid, each with a set of triplets. We have six more does due this weekend and three more due later in the month. We will be in full swing milking goats again very soon; not to mention feeding all the new bundles of joy bouncing around! This uncommonly cold March weather has complicated kidding season a bit but fortunately we were able to make some room in the Jersey barn for maternity/kidding pens since the cows' body heat keeps the barn above freezing so the new babies are staying dry, warm and happy.
We also had a new Jersey heifer born in February. Baby Sequoia will make a wonderful addition to our milking herd in a couple of years. Right now, she just looks adorable running around in her bright green coat! :)
With all the time I've been spending outside in this cold weather as well as all the sleep lost due to being on constant baby watch, there is one hot drink I've been fixing daily to warm up and wake up!
Café Mocha
2-4 ounces of coffee (any kind, brewed strong)
6-8 ounces of whole, raw milk
1/4 cup hot chocolate mix (store bought or homemade)
Brew the coffee and heat the milk (steaming but don't boil). Stir hot chocolate mix into brewed coffee and then add hot milk. Enjoy!
And in closing, here is a small sampling of the baby explosion we are in the middle of....
January at Camelot Cattle Co--plus free recipes!
Posted by Michelle DeLong on February 11, 2019
January brought cold weather here at Camelot Cattle Company. Around here that means deep straw bedding, warm mashes, and plenty of free choice hay for all the hard working critters. We had some first time Jersey heifers pregnancy checked and we are looking forward to seeing healthy babies out of all of them this summer/fall. Our first Nubians are due in just a couple of weeks and they are getting big enough now that during their daily and nightly checks, they can be found groaning, shifting around and snoring in their sleep. Hopefully it will warm up before the kids decide to make their appearance!
January also brought linear appraisal for some of our Jerseys. Our sweet, almost 12 yr old QT was reworked to EX94. Our newest heifer, Festive, went VG86 on her first lactation. Our other first freshener, Hadassah, went VG88. Our 5 year old, Qadira, raised from EX90 to EX92. Even with the cold, yucky weather our girls didn't let us down!
I don't know about you all, but the cold weather has me craving comfort food and one healthy and versatile comfort food for me is homemade butter! I am going to share with you how to make fresh, homemade butter and also a couple of flavored varieties that we enjoy.
Homemade Butter
Separate cream off your whole, raw milk and then gently warm the cream to about 60 degrees (warm cream will churn into butter much quicker than cold cream--62 degrees seems to be the magic temp for butter-making). You can use a butter churn, mixer, or even just shake a jar to churn the cream. The cream will whip into whipped cream first and then look like scrambled eggs and then you will see the buttermilk separate from the butter. Once buttermilk forms, pour it off (buttermilk can be saved for future use; we use real buttermilk for baking or cooking) and squeeze the butter together with your hands to form a ball. Knead the butter under cold, running water until the water runs clear. You want to rinse all the buttermilk out so your butter will stay fresh longer. Once the water runs clear, you can wrap in parchment paper or put it in a mold and chill in refrigerator, or just slather it on a fresh biscuit!
Honey Butter
1 pound homemade butter
1/4 cup raw, local honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cut b cinnamon, and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
Cinnamon Butter
1 pound homemade butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup raw, local honey
4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Cut butter into chunks and place in mixer. Beat on low speed with whisk attachment until softened. Increase speed to medium and add powderc Woods and Rum has the same conditioning benefits as our other beer soap, Oatmeal Stout, but has a unique warm, smokey, deep scent with notes of Hay, Sandalwood and Cinnamon, brightened with White Citrus and Ginger and layered by Rum, Birch and Tobacco.
December and Technical Difficulties
Posted by Michelle DeLong on January 7, 2019
We have been having technical difficulties with our blog and have been unable to post new blog posts. After weeks of trying to get assistance from our website provider, this doesn't appear to be something that will get resolved, unfortunately. I was looking forward to having the blog format to make it easier to categorize and find individual posts but unless I figure something else out, I may just have to post as regular text on this page and readers will have to scroll down to find individual posts. I am sorry for any inconvenience this causes!
Other than technical difficulties, December brought some good things as well, such as some wonderful, heartfelt gifts from our customers. Thank you so much for thinking of us during the holidays!! We also had our mailing list drawing in December using a random online drawing tool and again want to say congratulations to Cheryl Hipp who won a week's worth of free milk for her family! We will be doing regular drawings like this from among our subscribers so if you want a chance to win some cool prizes make sure you are subscribed and receiving our emails. If you want to be sure you are subscribed to our mailing list, email us at
We also had an adorable Jersey calf born during December and enjoyed a little family time for Christmas. Right after Christmas I got down in my back but fortunately, if that is going to happen it happened at exactly the best time because the goats are all dried or drying off and haven't kidded yet so my work load is at it's lowest until the end of February. Doctor says it will take 6-8 weeks to heal which should give me enough time to heal before I am buried in little, bouncy bottle kids and more goats milking than I've ever milked before. Isn't it neat when you can see God's hand at work?!
We added a couple new soaps in December as well so be sure to check those out! Hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season and a great start to the new year!

October at Camelot Cattle Co
Posted by Michelle DeLong on Thursday, November 1, 2018, In : Monthly Post
October was a busy month for us! We started the month with a mess in the store as I’m sure many of you have noticed. However, now we will have a reliable source of heat for the store as our new fireplace is fully installed and ready for colder weather (although that can still wait a while; we are in no hurry to be breaking ice for all the livestock)!
We also have gotten all of the 11 does we needed bred this year bred for new bundles of joy in the spring. We will have kids sired by 4 diffe...

1. Antimicrobial Paper
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly! Antimicrobial paper is a real thing, and you need it in your office right away.
While you might not realize it, there are a ton of germs that spread through the distribution of the paper. Your entire workforce can get sick from one ill employee handing a piece of paper to a coworker. That’s the hard truth.
Antimicrobial paper is here to combat that issue. This paper has an intensive manufacturing process that infuses antimicrobial properties inside the fibers of the paper, rather than coating it over the top. The result is a more protective product that ensures safety for you and your staff.
It can offer many benefits to your office, such as reducing the spread of harmful bacteria, giving a luxurious side to your brand, and creating a unique feel and look for your marketing collateral. Your target clients are sure to notice!
Antimicrobial paper is especially useful in places such as doctor clinics, dental offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and other areas where illnesses are more prevalent.
Make sure that you’re investing in a trusted brand for your antimicrobial paper needs. Once you purchase it once, we’re certain you’ll never go back!
2. Secret Book Safe
No, this isn’t a safe for your books. Quite the opposite, actually. Rather, it’s a safe that looks like a book and can be used to hide your valuables while you’re on the job.
When closed, it looks like just another book on your desk or your bookshelf. However, when you open it up, there’s a perfectly-sized space cut out of the pages to store your phone, keys, USB drive, or other valuable items. Most of these on the market also have a padded area to ensure your items are secure if the book safe drops on the floor.
Some of you might roll your eyes at this unique office tool, but you shouldn’t. For those of you that think your items are safe while in the office, think again. Statistics have shown that 3 out of 4 employees have admitted to stealing from their employers. You can assume that those people are willing to steal from their coworkers as well.
We recommend purchasing this office supply to keep your valuables safe while you work. Although your position might be considered a “desk job”, you often venture from that desk to print files, visit with clients, talk to coworkers, fill up your coffee, and more.
3. Memo Tablet
Perhaps you need to be reminded of your tasks that need to be accomplished by the end of the day. Maybe you want to find a way of giving an inspirational quote to your staff and clients each day.
Either need can be fulfilled by purchasing a memo tablet for your office. These awesome and unique office supplies are a clever way of ensuring that your goals are met. Studies have shown that, by simply writing down a goal, you’re 42-percent more likely to complete it. Those statistics are hard to argue with!
The best part is that they come in many different materials, sizes, and colors. For example, Anthropologie has a dry erase memo tablet that’s made of glass. It’s easy on the eyes and gives your office a luxurious aesthetic.
4. Mini Dust Cleaner
Putting pencil to paper allows creativity to flow. You don’t have to worry about making mistakes since your errors can be erased and adjusted at any time.
However, the one setback to using your eraser is the dust that it leaves behind. Usually, it takes several swipes for you to get those pieces of remaining eraser off the paper you’re working on… until now.
Now, you can invest in a mini dust cleaner. It rolls right over the area and collects all of the eraser dust in one fell swoop. That way, you can get back to work all the quicker.
5. Bookends
The average worker only has a desk to work on. They don’t have a cubicle to place a file cabinet in or any way to get extra storage. The top of their desk and its drawers are all they have to work with.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to purchase some bookends. They’ll help you maximize your space by placing your books and folders upright, instead of flat on your desk. It can also help you stay organized.
This is especially helpful for those books, folders, and collateral that you use on a frequent basis. They’ll always be within an arm’s reach when you need them.
