I did a small story last year on the abandoned Carolina Theatre located in Uptown Charlotte. The building was set to be renovated and they were planning to add a high-rise hotel at the corner of 6th and Tryon, where the tucked away 'pocket park' sits. Construction has begun on the new $42 million hotel above one of the oldest standing landmarks, the historic Carolina Theatre at Belk Place and I am excited about this. For years this building has been just sitting there...waiting for someone to give it a facelift. And it is getting a beautiful facelift. My parents told me about going to see the Wizard of Oz there in the 60s, wearing fancy dresses and the men wore sports coats. Fancy. I can't even imagine this. Times have changed. The new hotel will include 250 rooms. Once the renovations are complete on the Theatre, they plan to use the space for documentaries, educational activities, entertainment and panel discussions. The hotel and renovated theatre are expected to open in early 2019.

The Satpura National Park is located in the beautiful and diverse suburbs of Madhya Pradesh and is one of the most diverse and stunning national parks in Central India. One of India's most beautiful tiger reserves, the sanctuary was the winner of the TOFT Wildlife Tourism Award for the most visitor-friendly wildlife destinations in the year 2010. Located in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh in India, Satpura Tiger Reserve spreads over an area of 202 square miles and gets its name from the Satpura Hill ranges, or Mahadeo hills. The Satpura National Park is also of crucial importance to the ecosystem of India, because this sanctuary, along with the Bori and Pachmarhi sanctuaries, provides around 550 square miles of tiger reserve area. It was set up in the year 1981 and has its altitude ranging from 300 to 1,352 metres. The forest enclaves at the Satpura National Park provide habitat for several endangered and threatened species, other than a variety of different plants and animals. Read More Read More on Satpura National Park History of Satpura National Park The area and land that today comprises of the Satpura National Park were initially explored by Captain James Forsyth of Bengal Lancers in the year 1862. When the concerned authorities realised the ecological and commercial value of the vast expanses of lush green forests that the area housed, it was decided to declare it as a reserve forest. The area was then announced as a National Park and Sanctuary by the state government so that increased attention could be given to conserving the faunal and floral wealth of the ecosystem as a whole. Later on, the Satpura National Park, combined with the adjoining Bori and Panchmarhi Sanctuaries, went on to be declared as the Satpura Tiger reserve by the Indian government. Flora and Fauna at Satpura Tiger Reserve The Satpura National Park is abundant in bio-diversity and forms an integral part of the Indian ecosystem, owing to the fact that is home to endangered and rare species. It boasts of stunning floral variety, with over 1300 species of plants. This list includes sal, teak, tendu, bamboos, mahua (Indian butter-tree), bel (stone-apple), grasses, bushes and other medicinal plants of great importance. Its fauna comprises of the Indian Bison(Gaur), Spotted Dear, Leopards, Tigers, Wild boar, Sloth bear, Wild dogs (which are locally called Dholes), Blackbuck, Four Horned antelopes, Porcupine, Sambhar, Otters, Crocodile, Langurs, Malabar squirrels, etc. The White Bison and Indian Giant squirrel are distinctive features of the Satpura National Park. During the months from November to March, the sanctuary also plays host to a myriad variety of migratory birds. Safari at Satpura Tiger Reserve The safari at the Satpura National Park begins by crossing the Denwa River via a motorboat that is provided by the forest department. Following this, the tourists have to wait for the jeeps to arrive, and this time is spent in peace with blue bull babies and spotted deer. The forest department accommodation is also available here. The jeep safari is a memorable and unparalleled experience altogether. Note that tourists are not allowed to get down from the vehicle, except at specific locations. As of now, the tickets to visit the Satpura National Park cannot be booked online. The best way to book a ticket is to do it through the resort in which you are staying. Another standard approach is to book the safari through the booking counter of the Park management which is located at the entrance gate. One such counter is located on the bank of Denwa River at the Madhai entrance gate.

So they’ve done it! Mount Saint Joseph has won their first MIAA championship in 12 years. MSJ has proved how good of a team they truly are, bouncing back after not being ranked in the top 10 Track and Field teams by the Baltimore Sun at the beginning of the season. The Gaels used their motivation from not being able to compete in the Indoor Track championship to fuel them throughout this entire season of Outdoor Track. The Gaels went undefeated in all dual meets this season, which gave them the title of dual meet champions (regular season) before competing in this year’s championship. They started off with a bang by wining the Loyola Relays. They then went on to defeat Calvert Hall, Curley, Spalding, Gilman, Loyola, and McDonogh. The Gaels relied on their depth to score in multiple events and dominate their competition. In day one of the MIAA championships, MSJ had to overcome a very rainy afternoon. Conditions were much better for the Gaels on second day of championships as they were able to pull away for the title. The Gaels ended up winning six out of the eighteen male events. They went on to score 157 points, which was 23 points ahead of runner up Gilman. The JV track squad actually were runner ups to Calvert Hall, as the Gales were edged by one point (Calvert Hall 150, MSJ 149). Throughout the two days there were multiple stellar performances, PR’s (personal records), and new records for the MSJ Track and Field record books. The team was led by senior Emmanuel “Manny” Patterson who won four gold medals. Patterson won the open 100 meter race with a time of 10.68 seconds, won the open 200 meters with a time of 21.89 seconds (the second fastest 200 meter time in MSJ track history), and anchored the gold medal winning 4×100 meter and 4×200 meter relay teams. Patterson, along with Juan Mendoza, Jadan Blue, and Darren Dunmoodie have put together a dominant 4×100 meter relay team, registering the third fastest 4×100 meter time in MSJ history and winning most of their races. The same can be said about the 4×200 meter relay team. Runners Joseph Jones, Dunmoodie, Blue, and Patterson ran the 6th fastest 4×200 meter time in MSJ history and won the gold medal at championships. Ikena Obi and Chris Haley also had stellar performances in the 4×100 meter and 4×200 meter races respectively and look to step up and continue excelling, especially with the departure of seniors Patterson and Blue next year. Alex Whittaker got a silver medal as he broke the 3200 meter record by 6 seconds. His time of 9 minutes and 32 seconds is by far the best 3200m time in MSJ history, and with another year left for Alex, he can only look to improve upon this mark. Alex was within five seconds of the number 1 distance runner in the state, Dalton Hengst. The 4×800 meter relay team was awarded a bronze medal as they finished third in their race. The team of Michael Lochary, Calvin Parker, Joe Ruf, and Justin Russell ran a time of 8 minutes and 14 seconds. This is the second fastest 4×800 meter time in MSJ history. Jadan Blue got fifth place in the open 400 meters with an impressive time of 51.74 seconds. He also received a bronze medal in the long jump. Whittaker and Russell placed fifth and eighth in the open 800 meters and placed fourth and fifth for the 1600 meters. The Gaels also dominated the field events as Quinton Coe won the high jump and Christian Carter won shot put. Christian Heyward was second in the discus throw, and Darren Dunmoodie placed fifth in the triple jump. Some impressive performances on the Junior Varsity side were Brendon Dawkins finishing third in the open 100 meters, while Ari Weems finished fifth. Luke Hansen got second in the 110 meter hurdles. Andrew Black placed fourth in the 300 meter hurdles. Andrew Brinker placed second, and received the silver medal, in the 1600 meters with his personal best of 4 minutes and 42 seconds. Garret Keidel placed sixth in that race. Sophomore standout Joey Zietowski ran great over the two-day event, placing third in the JV 800 meter race and again placing third in the JV 1600 meter race. Brinker also received a silver medal in the 3200 meters with a time of 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Gabe Antone placed fourth in that race with a time of 10 minutes and 39 seconds. The JV 4×400 meter relay team placed third with a time of 3 minutes and 46 seconds. The 4×800 relay team placed third. Killian Garvey finished third in the high jump. Nick Hershfeld placed third in the pole vault. Kendall Carter was second in the triple jump. Liam Fitzsimmons placed fourth in the open 800 meters with a time of 2 minutes and 7 seconds. Although the Mount will be losing some very talented seniors, the team still has a lot of impressive underclassmen who will work hard to defend their MIAA title. Also, with the class of 2020 coming in, who knows how good of a team the Gaels can have next year. The 2015-2016 season will go down as a running season for the ages, as MSJ won the Cross Country MIAA Championship, the Indoor Regular Season Championship, and the Outdoor Regular Season and MIAA Championship. Congratulations to all the runners who have made sacrifices and dedicated themselves to the sport of competitive running this year. Their efforts have definitely paid off. Can the Gaels repeat all of this success next year? Stay tuned for next season to find out. But until then, the Gaels will have fun celebrating this hard-fought victory!

by Albemarle Plantation | Mar 12, 2022 | Get to Know Your Neighbor, Neighbor Spotlight, Who's New | 0 comments By: Kevin Jones From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean…well, Albemarle Sound, but close enough. Cami and Dwight made quite the trek moving clear across the county from Riverside, California to Albemarle Plantation. When asked why Albemarle Plantation, they answered “for the remoteness.” From six lane, bumper to bumper highways to clean air and NO traffic, that’s something we can all understand. So, how did they learn about Albemarle Plantation in California? They found it online, requested a mailer, one thing led to another, and their first visit was enough. “We loved the beauty of AP, how well maintained the golf course and grounds were, and the open feel of the Randolph’s Village area,” they said. As fate would have it, Randolph’s Village is exactly where they found their new home, and they joined The “Village People” in January 2022. Cami was born and raised in southern California and Dwight relocated there from Arkansas at a young age. Cami retired as the Safe Schools Director for the County Office of Education serving 23 school districts with over 400,000 students. Dwight retired from his career in education as an athletic administrator and football coach for a high school with 4,400 students. They have three daughters: one remains in California, another lives in the Detroit area, and the third lives in Virginia Beach with their two granddaughters. Grandkids…. Now there’s a good reason to move across the country. Dwight loves to play golf, collect Civil War memorabilia, and really likes to drive his stunning, mint green, 1949 Ford Woodie wagon. Cami is also a golfer and enjoys quilting and gardening. They are pet lovers, too—just imagine how full their hands must have been driving across the country with both dogs and cats. Wow! Give a wave if you see the mint green Ford Woodie drive by or say hello to them while at the Dog Park. They’ll be happy to tell you about their travel adventure. They can be contacted via email: Dwight at and Cami at

I was recently introduced to Taiwanese cuisine. One day, by mistake, I tried a sandwich called Bao, brought to me from the Lower East Side. It was a little fist-sized sandwich, stuffed with some sort of beef, and red spice and cilantro. As I chewed down on the steam bun, I felt something move, in a good way. I needed more, fast! BaoHaus is located on Rivington Street, on the Lower East Side. I was already going to be in the area to watch the movie “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” so this was a perfect chance to catch the flick and check out what Baohaus has to offer. I called up my knowledgeable Taiwanese friend and asked her to join me in my expedition. I was hungry and, once again, found myself walking in the wrong direction on Rivington. What made it even worse was my friend thought it would be funny to stop in Babeland, an adult female toy store. Now, as much as I would love to watch a cute Asian girl shop for sex toys, I was way too hungry to even be excited. Besides, I wasn’t about to go in there for two reasons: 1 - because I’d look like I was the boyfriend who was not doing his job right, so adult toys were needed and/or, 2 - I’d look like the gay friend. There is nothing wrong with being gay but I don’t want to be labeled under either category. So I lied to her and said we'll stop in on the way back. We finally made it to BaoHaus, identified by a large sign lit in blue and white. We had to take a few steps down into the place; a positive sign. Anything underground has to be good. Inside, BaoHaus was decked out in blue and white, with some old pictures of what I’m guessing was the owner’s family (or some random pictures he bought on eBay) adorning the wall. A few bar stools and tables, which were attached to the wall, were quaintly set-up. There were separate counters for placing your order and picking up the food. The menu was pretty entertaining, with items named after sitcom and movie icons from the 90's, like the Uncle Jesse (Full House) and the King Jaffe Joffre (Coming to America, my all-time favorite comedy.) We were pretty stumped as to what to order, but the girl at the counter was friendly and explained the menu to us like we were from Ohio. She recommended the Straight Frush, any 3 Baos and a soda. So we got a hanger steak Bao, a pork belly Bao and an Uncle Jesse Bao with a sasparilla, which is a Taiwanese root beer. I was thinking of getting the Bao fries, but for some reason, I passed them up. While we waited for our food, Pharrell’s song, “Everybody Nose,” was blasting from an iPod dock nearby. As I started singing in my head, and before I could get past “a hundred dollar bill look at you!” our food was ready. I already tried the hanger steak so I tricked my friend into having it first, while I reached for the pork belly. A good move on my part, because it was unreal; perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. All the flavors came out, and the peanuts, red sugar and cilantro were a great mix. I’m not a fan of tofu, and I left my skinny jeans at home that night, but I figured I’d try it and I’m glad I did. Cilantro and the haus sauce were a good mix. I just couldn’t put my finger on their sauce. It tasted like a sweet chili sauce, but what do I know; I’m just a Russian Jew from Brooklyn. I took a sip of the sasparilla and it tasted more like bubble gum than root beer. Indeed, it was bubbly and refreshing, and I could probably drink about 12 glasses of it in 20 minutes. The bill was about $20 for 4 sandwiches and a soda. After such a great experience, I added Taiwanese food to my list of things to eat. If you’re in the area, stop by this place and grab a few sandwiches. I recently read the boiled peanuts were brought back. I haven’t tried them yet but anything peanut is good!

There are many ways to improve your hair care routine, but some of the most important tips include: choosing the right products, using a shampoo and conditioner that fit your hair type, washing your hair regularly, avoiding heat styling, and using a moisturizer. It can be hard to figure out which products to use, but by following these tips you can create a routine that works best for you. Get to know your hair type: What is important to know about your hair and how can you care for it? There are many different hair types and each person has a unique natural curl pattern. Knowing your hair type is important so you can make informed decisions about how to care for it. Here are six key things to know about four common hair types: Straight or wavy hair is the most popular type, and it can be hard to take care of. You need to use heat protectors and conditioners, and you should avoid harsh chemicals like sulfates. Try using a keratin treatment every six weeks to keep it looking healthy. Curly hair requires a different approach than straight or wavy hair. You need to use products that are specifically designed for curly hair, avoid excessive heat, and moisturize regularly. You can also use a curling iron on low settings if you want your curls to stay put. Daily routine: How do you go about caring for your hair every day? If you’re like most women, your daily hair care routine consists of washing it, conditioning it, and putting it up in a bun or ponytail. But there’s a lot more that goes into keeping your locks healthy and looking their best. Here are some steps to follow every day to keep your hair looking its best: Cleanse your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that are specifically formulated for curly or textured hair. Not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal; make sure you choose one that will preserve the vibrancy and health of your locks. Use styling products to achieve the look you want. Curly girls should use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, as well as styling products containing natural ingredients like jojoba oil or grapeseed extract. Avoid heat treatment on your hair. Special occasions: What are some tips for taking care of your hair during special events? Taking care of your hair during special events can be tricky. Here are some tips to help: Prepping your hair the night before: conditioning and styling your hair will make it less prone to frizzing and breakage. Oiling your hair religiously: this will keep it from becoming dry, brittle, or frizzy. Make use of products that protect against heat damage: using a heat protection spray before you go out will help prevent split ends and damage to your locks from the sun or hot temperatures. Keep a brush handy: using a wide-tooth comb for detangling can be a time-saving trick before heading out. Conclusion A haircare routine is a necessary part of overall beauty. There are many products and techniques available to help keep hair healthy and looking its best. Whether you are looking to prevent hair loss, improve scalp health, or just add some shine, there is something for everyone in the hair care category. If you are interested in adding some new tips or techniques to your hair care routine, be sure to consult with your trusted beauty professional.

I was thrilled to take part in Money20/20 Europe this year, which was in person after a two-year hiatus. And it was great to walk the show floor and see the Verimatrix name on our booth! I found the event had a pleasant calmness, which seemed to encourage more free flowing conversations. Share this article with your community: It also gave room for some of the smaller fintechs to show off their innovations – hopefully this is something we can see more of at future events. For example, we spoke with several companies that are disrupting the market by taking security sensitive operations and combining them with a mobile-first philosophy. So, what were the main highlights from the show? See how you can protect your content Learn more about content protection Advances in App Security Monitoring We were very excited to launch our new App Shield Monitoring service at the event! We’ve been working hard to make this service more than just the ability to see raw security information. App Shield Monitoring actually gives customers access to security insights about each app instance that is distilled into a risk score. It was great to take the wraps off and finally be able to demonstrate it publicly and get people’s reaction. One of the main value propositions for the Money 20/20 audience is having security oversight of their entire mobile app install base. This resonated with everyone we spoke to, which was expected from this audience. Fintech, while very technology focused, is still in the finance business and fraud prevention is very important. In a mobile-first world, understanding the risk profile of the apps being used by customers helps manage the financial risk as well as the security risk. Ready to dive deeper? Get our tv service security ebook free. Download EBOOK Balancing “Know Your Customer” processes with privacy regulations As anyone who has taken out a mortgage knows, traditional “Know Your Customer” processes are a painful barrier. It’s not uncommon for a bank to ask you to set up an “identity check” appointment before they will even discuss financial products with you. In Amsterdam, we found many innovative companies solving this problem. Automation, self-service, and mobile first were the watch words; with a large amount of AI thrown in for good measure. Each company we spoke to had a unique emphasis and value proposition – which was great to see as these weren’t identical solutions by any means. They all have one thing in common though: lots of sensitive personal data was passing through their mobile app. This brings in privacy regulation compliance considerations. The key learning for anyone developing a mobile-first know your customer (KYC) product is to take the time to do a data flow analysis of the app (good advice for any app, not just KYC). This can quickly highlight where sensitive data is being processed, stored, and transmitted. Once identified, make sure the app is secure and the data can’t be easily syphoned off. There’s no doubt fintech is still an industry full of innovation and disruptive ideas. We now look forward to comparing the trends and themes from Money20/20 US. If interested in hearing more, here is a video of the interview I did The Fintech Times at Money 20/20 Europe where I expand on these themes and security challenges.

For all you insane foodies out there who crave to discover top of the line, unique plates, alongside beautifully designed decor.. you've just fell into a diamond mine. Come get fried, every week with Bri! Toggle Sidebar March 28, 2020 April 19, 2022 Excellent Egg Salad Crunch Cups. This is an ultimate spring creation. It just looks like a spring snack! You can’t deny it, Diamonds! 😉 When I think of spring, Easter comes to mind, and vise versa. When dreaming of Easter festivities, and things that revolve around the holiday, I picture all things eggs, and greens! Eggs, simply because of the fact that if there were no eggs, there would be no easter fun.. I mean come on?! Chocolate coated peanut butter eggs, dying Easter eggs, eggs for Hrudka (A polish dish I grew up on) along with homemade Paska bread, and our childhood selves could never forget the egg hunts. Easter just wouldn’t be Easter without eggs! It’s a fact! As for the spring greens, butter lettuce and arugula fills my heart with leafy crunchy passion. Peas and asparagus are next on the list, but for these cute, crunchy, creamy filled cups.. were using butter lettuce, also knows as bib lettuce! You can make the egg salad as filled as you want, but I kept it classic, while adding a bit of a crunch aspect to it. If you love seafood, and you have it on hand, chopped up shrimp, or crab meat would even be wonderful added into the mix. I always sprinkle paprika on everything with eggs. Always, always, always! It’s definitely a match made in heaven, and the color gives it a nice added garnish. Depending on how many cups you’re going to be prepping, you’ll want to use more or less eggs than me. I used six eggs, but to be honest, I made a little extra, so I could store in the fridge to make my most favorite sandwich in the world! An egg salad sandwich hits the heart different. If you do not boil eggs often.. I truly found that the perfect way to boil eggs is to put the eggs in the pot, then add your water, and as soon as it starts to boil, turn the heat off and let sit for 10 minutes. After cooling, then you’re ready to peel! I love my egg salad really really creamy with lots of good mayonnaise, and flavor! You really don’t need exact measurements, it just goes by how thick you want it, and how flavorful you like your cold salads! I added two squeezes of yellow mustard, and four dashes of hot sauce. Along with the condiments.. the seasonings are just as necessary. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion salt, paprika, and dried parsley went into the bowl to top everything off! The making of this delicious snack is very simple. You just need to display some sea-salted pita chips, along with nicely washed butter lettuce. Make sure to completely dry your butter lettuce. Soggy, wet lettuce of any kind is never appetizing! Mouth feel, or taste.. it just doesn’t work. The best thing to do with produce is pre. wash it when you get home from the market, so that when it comes time to prepare something you don’t have to worry about any issues. Arrange your cups onto a wooden platter. I think the wood mixed with the green looks absolutely stunning, especially for entertaining! Up close and personal, with our cute little delectable cups. Wondering where the crunch comes in? I’m going to surprise everyone right now since classically; when you do any sort of lettuce cup.. no-one particularly thinks to pair it will anything else, being that the filling is already sitting in something. Bri being Bri though.. I’m going to change the lettuce cup making game! Now.. these babies can’t just be paired with anything crunchy. It has to be a good thick, sturdy, hard chip, or cracker! I truly thought that there wasn’t a better choice than pita chips. The texture is awesome, as is the flavor. Super salty, and yummy.. pairing extremely well with these egg filled cups. Grab a cup.. fold it up, and stack it on a pita chip! Get crunching Diamonds 😉 This just proves that something simple, taking no time at all to prep can look just as gorgeous, and mouth watering as anything else! Anyone can make anything look incredible with a little creative-ness, and artistic flare. Grab the platters, and a chair, Diamonds because you’re never going to able to eat just one! I hope everyone is staying home, and keeping busy while creating new projects for yourself to work on. For those of you still working at life essential business, or in the medical field, thank you so much! xoxo

Thanks, Jen Cluff posted by jen at 4:06 PM permalink Comments (4) Anonymous said... Hi Jen, Please forgive me if I should have posted this somewhere else. I've searched and searched the blog and I couldn't find anything about my question. I am having trouble with something and I'm not sure if I'm over thinking myself or if I'm just doing things wrong and have been all along or what. I used to play the flute and recently started up again about a year ago after a long break. I never recall learning counting with the word "and". I always learned, 1, 2 3, 4(4/4) and 1-2-3 (for 3/4). maybe because it was more simple stuff? I don't know. But recently upon learning more complicated dotted eighth notes and sixteenth notes and stuff my private teacher said that I basically had the rhythm but my notes weren't counted equally enough. She said I need to count with "and" when doing eighth notes so they are exactly equal she confused me even more. I am aware of the "and" counting but I always sort of avoided it and now I am going crazy. I understand how to actually play the rhythms aloud on the flute, or clap them out, but not count them in my head.. if that even makes sense?! How can I use "and" and tap the beat at the same time. I just don't get it! I mean, when you play do you actually think "1 and 2 and" in your head or is that just to get you to learn how the rhythm sounds? I try and I just can't keep the beat when i do this and I feel like I can't concentrate on the dynamics and technique! I did see your PDF on rhythm, and I understand it but I just can't do the "and" thing in my head! Sorry if this is a confusing or annoying question. And sorry for rambling on. Thanks for any help in advance!! Signed -Driving myself crazy! Monday, February 02, 2009 7:01:00 PM jen said... Dear "Driving myself crazy", I think that it's simply unfamiliar to you to say "And" to count eighth notes. Why be so hard on yourself, when it's completely new? Instead, take some time to let it become familiar. Take a recording device to your lessons, and record your teacher counting "one and two and three and four", and ask if she/he can help you by counting long enough for you to "get it". These things take time. Give yourself time to absorb it all. Best, J. Monday, February 02, 2009 8:35:00 PM Anonymous said... Flute teachers and players, To further on Jen's ideas about rhythm I have been talking to a friend of mine who an amazing percussionist about how to improve my overall rhythm as well as how to tackle orchestral excerpts and making them very accurate rhythmically. One trick you can use is to play with the metronome on, but have that beat line up with the "and" (not the downbeat). It is difficult, but once you can do it playing it normally gets a lot easier and more in time. Also, in preparation for auditions have a friend sit there with a metronome on silent while you play and they tell you every time you get off the time. This is also very frustrating, but it is a good way to improve in a short period of time.

The bean bag as we know it today is a style icon of the 60’s & 70’s when hippies were embracing flower power, beatniks were discussing philosophy in dark cafes, folk music was top of the charts, and ‘free love’ was there for the taking. This flexible piece of soft furniture is arguably one of the most recognisable symbols of those revolutionary times, when culture and society was changed forever. Some historians, however, believe that bean bag roots go much further back to Ancient Egypt. Legend has it that long before the designers of the sixties came up with the idea, the ancient Egyptians beat them to it. Around two thousand BC, the Egyptians created using leather, some small, circular bags. Back then the choice of filling was rice, pebbles or beans. The Egyptians used them for games as well as seating and they were the choice of the world's first jugglers. Others trace their origins back to Native Americans, who used pig bladders full of dried beans in a game, and as training tools in ancient China by students of Tai Chi. The use of bags filled with styrofoam beans as furniture, however, can be firmly established at 1969. Bean bags are the invention of three famous Italian designers, Piero Gatti, Cesare Paolini and Franco Teodoro. They were first manufactured by an Italian company Zanotta. Since their inception in 1969, bean bags have become globally recognised. This now famous piece of furniture is symbolic of the sixties. The company's owners noticed staff sitting on these bags that were filled with styrofoam whilst on their coffee breaks.

We all know that trends come and go (I’m looking at you parachute pants!). And digital marketing is no different. A lot of these trends end up turning into permanent fixtures in the world of digital marketing. But there is a lot that gets tossed aside and forgotten. So what creates a digital marketing trend? The reason that most trends start is due to reactions about new technologies or new consumer behaviors. That means that they’ll fill a need that’s already emerging. For example, let’s take a look at mobile marketing. This type of marketing was a direct reaction to the increase in smartphone usage over the past few years. And the consumers who use their devices to shop has proven that this trend is definitely here to stay. Whether you want to believe it or not, there was a time when mobile marketing was actually considered trendy. Now it’s an absolutely necessary aspect of digital marketing. Trends 101: Digital Marketing for Small Businesses It’s incredibly important to stay on top of the trends – especially the ones that are geared towards your brand’s niche. For now, we’ll cover some of the popular digital marketing trends that are taking place in the world of small businesses. Take what will suit your brand best and leave the rest! And if you haven’t taken the leap to digital marketing, it’s time to consider it. 1. Social Media Marketing Social media is EXTREMELY important and for good reason. Prospects and current customers spend a lot of time on there. Globally social media users spend an average of 135 minutes a day on social networks. This number is growing every year – no surprise there! If you think social media is just for connecting with friends and family, it’s totally not. People use social media to connect with brands they support, find new ones, and even help in making a purchase decision. In other words, if you aren’t connecting with your audience then your competitors will. That’s why it’s crucial to get your brand out there. Seriously, even small businesses are now on the social media train. Over 70 % plan to acquire new customers in 2018 using this tool, including 75% of those who plan to use Facebook specifically. Here are a few ways the small brands can use social media marketing. Especially if you want to gain new customers and drive growth… gather user-generated content to share share interesting and relevant content with your audience collaborate with influencers to increase recognition and trust connect with audiences on a more personal level and build relationships build brand recognition and loyalty through comments, engagement, and sharing use social media advertising to reach out to a new audience and convert prospects analyze data to better understand the needs, wants, and behaviors of their customers use social media for customer service (like answering questions and addressing complaints) 2. Voice Strategy Communication really is the easiest form of human interaction, especially vocal communication. So it makes sense that people want to use voice whenever they interact with technology and their favorite devices. This is where Alexa and Siri come into play. Half of the consumers use voice assistants already and 81% of those people use them in addition to their smartphones. There are companies out there who want to remain relevant so they adapt to this new take on traditional internet searches. This is why creating a voice search strategy is quickly becoming a top priority for some small businesses. But the most important part of any comprehensive voice strategy is to optimize your content with the types of keywords that commonly appear in voice searches. That includes long-tail keywords that are relevant to your brand. It’s a good idea to use “best” and “price” as part of your keywords – in both question and command format. Another popular keyword to use is one that answers the types of questions that your customers frequently ask. To determine this, consider your niche and think about the type of questions potential customers would ask. Just keep in mind that most voice searchers are in fact questions, so content needs to be geared toward offering succinct answers. Another voice strategy is to create an Alexa skill or Google action. This can really help your brand reach customers who use Alexa or Google home voice assistants. 3. Novel Content Good content is what makes digital marketing work like a well-oiled machine. Granted there are a few staples out there (some of which that are definitely here to stay). But there are new kinds rolling in. Some that just might temporarily revolutionize the way people get their content. Currently, there’s a growing trend with interactive content. This type of content gives audiences the chance to actively engage with brands. Below are some of the ways in which you can experiment with this new type of content… Polls Quizzes Contests Assessments Online voting Animated infographics Another type of content to look into is expiring content. Think Snapchat and Instagram stories. Expiring content is content that’s only available for a limited time before it’s no longer accessible. This is an intriguing concept because it incites a sense of urgency and exclusivity. And since FOMO (fear of missing out) is a real thing, people will make it a point to seek out this type of content. 4. Branded & Live Video Investments It should come as no surprise, but video content really has been the driving force in digital marketing for a very long time. Video content is so engaging that it makes up 82% of consumer internet traffic by 2021. But this doesn’t mean that video marketing is static. People are constantly finding new ways to engage their audience through videos. And right now, branded and live videos are reigning supreme. Branded content is HIGHLY engaging. It delivers a great deal of information in a short time, increases conversions, and is a lot more appealing than text. But most importantly, it builds trust and fosters relationships between brands and their audience. Live video has become increasingly popular among consumers and by 2021 it’s expected to account for 13% of video traffic by 2021. But why is live video so appealing? You have to remember that it is a highly interactive format. One that the audience can actually be invited to participate in. They can even ask questions, which results in them being part of the conversation. As a result, it’s perfect for relationship building. Unfortunately, a lot of marketers shy away from creating video content for one simple reason: it seems expensive. However, creating video content doesn’t have to be. There are ways you can create killer video content on a budget. 5. Mixing Digital with the Physical Digital marketing DOESN’T have to completely take over your marketing strategy. I mean, people do still go shopping in brick and mortar stores. But here’s the rub, modern consumers are expecting much more when they are shopping in physical locations. For example, they want digital elements that seamlessly incorporate into those brick and mortar stores. With that in mind, a lot of brands have started integrating technologies that let them digitally interact with customers who are physically present in their area. The most common way to do this is with beacons. Whenever a business uses a beacon, the beacon can send a signal to a mobile device with a pre-selected geofenced area. They send push notifications or special time-sensitive coupons to nearby potential consumers. Digital marketing is dynamic and ever-evolving. A lot of it has to do with technology and consumer habits. That’s what really changes the world of digital marketing. Which is why it’s important to keep up to date when it comes to trends within the industry. Why? Because it’s far too easy to get left behind in today’s fast-paced world. Especially if you aren’t keeping up with the competition. The good news is that a lot of digital marketing trends are tiny developments. As a result, you don’t need to do a COMPLETE overhaul to stay ahead of the curve. But there are some strategies that you can use when it comes to social media and content. Both of which can help your brand engage with your customers – no matter where they are. But you might need to know where to start… How To Make the Move from Traditional To Digital Marketing Obviously knowing where to start is the key to success, especially with digital marketing. Hopefully, the steps below will help you ease into the brave new world of digital. Knowledge is power, right? Below are some of the fundamental concepts that are guaranteed to boost your confidence. Step #1: Start Small Landing pages, search engine optimization and advertising… oh and don’t forget meticulously planned social media campaigns! All of these are a big part of digital marketing but they are definitely NOT the first steps. Right now your priority is to start with just the basics. Once you have those properly in place, the important aspects will eventually fall into place. Don’t get me wrong, the tools and strategies I mentioned above really can make things more efficient. But before you can start using them, you need to have a basic digital foundation in place. Like getting a website, a social media profile, etc. But nailing down those basics are key – especially in terms of your brand’s marketing AND your digital know-how.

Step #3: Don’t Forget: Digital Doesn’t Replace Traditional Marketing Yes, digital marketing is effective. And in a lot of aspects, much more effective than traditional methods. But it’s important to remember that making the transition to digital doesn’t mean completely letting go of those tried and true traditional ways. There are a lot of offline marketing tactics that still work well. When that’s the case you should look to digital marketing as a way to improve it. Digital marketing gives you the chance to create more targeted advertising to reach specific people in your niche.

As part of the FBIs 30th anniversary special on their Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), I recently posted an article that included a recent video of the unit in training which can be found here: FBIs Hostage Rescue Team Marks 30th Anniversary Part 2 and 3 of the HRT special have been recently released that includes information on their selection and training process which the FBI has historically kept a tight lid on. HRT selection is held once a year where FBI special agents from field offices around the nation flock to Quantico, Virginia for a chance to successfully meet the standards and earn a coveted spot on one of the three tactical teams within HRT. The unit is not only very selective but also incredibly small as only 300 special agents have been chosen to serve on HRT since the unit’s inception in 1983. Selection (2 Weeks) The selection course is two weeks long designed to induce physical and mental stress on the candidates. Similar to a military special operations course, HRT instructors are looking to see how candidates work as individuals and as team-members when they are taken to the point of exhaustion due to lack of sleep (sometimes 1-2 hours a night) and physical exertion. Day one starts off with a pre-dawn physical fitness test that includes running, swimming, and stair-climbing with a 55-pound vest and a 35-pound battering ram. Operator Training (32 Weeks) “As an HRT operator, you are going to be on the cutting edge of what the Bureau does tactically, both in the United States and overseas,” said Special Agent John Piser who runs the unit’s selection and training programs. Following the selection course, special agents relocate to HRT’s headquarters in Quantico, VA to begin what the FBI calls the “New Operator Training School.” A 32-week (8 month) course that seems to be styled after Delta Force’s own Operator Training Course (OTC). Operators learn how to fast-rope out of helicopters, SCUBA dive, extensive close-quarter battle (CQB) training, tactical driving, and operating in extreme weather environments. Following completion of training, the graduates join their respective teams and for the first year they continue to hone their basic assault skills and also specialize in a specific skill-set such as breacher, communicator, or medic.

We at Startracks like to think that we run the greatest label in the world. Mainly because we release some of the greatests records in the world. We rarely sign new artists because we spend a lot of time looking for the greatest artists in the world. A new signing has been made and we are proud. Proud and very happy to bring you Niccokick. Niccokick was formed by Andreas Söderlund in late fall of 2001. During a session with only him and the guitar, Andreas came up with the idea of starting a project playing only instrumental songs. He started adding vocals to some of the songs. This turned out to sound great. In April of 2002 the first demo was made and sent around to a bunch of people. Good results for project: “Niccokick”! The demo was picked up by some great Swedish music magazines, such as Groove, Nöesguiden and Sonic. The band performed a handful of gigs during the summer and recorded “Demo 2” on a portable recorder. “Demo 2” includes a tribute-song to the Swedish composer Georg Riedel, based upon one of his finest melodies. During autumn of 2002, Niccokick started the recordings of their third demo, simply named “Demo 3”. During this period Andreas also fixed gigs in a very special kind of way. He send nine different songs, in various envelopes, every two weeks for four months to Sweden’s most respected festival: Emmaboda Festival. Each envelop was marked with only one letter, first N, then I and so on. That would build “NICCOKICK” after nine received envelops. The band was booked to the Emmaboda Festival of 2003. After a bunch of gigs, three EP:s Niccokick was ready to release their debut-album “Awake From The Dead, My Dear Friend” in 2004. Years have passed and we are now working our way through 2007. Niccokick has become part of the Startracks family. A single will be released in the fall and we’re planning to release the new album in January 2008. The band is in the studio recording great songs.

The AFC title game is going to be an interesting one with a rematch of week seven, Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots. Though the teams are the same on paper, much has changed since then. Steelers vs Patriots: AFC Championship Game Preview Improved Steelers Defense The Steelers are much improved, with a defense that is easily one of the most improved units in the NFL. They have been getting to the quarterback and stopping the big play. And most importantly they aren’t letting opponents into the endzone. With the ageless wonder in James Harrison and the emerging star in sophomore outside linebacker Bud Dupree, the team is not short in personality. They also boast a trio of rookies—Artie Burns, Sean Davis and Javon Hargrave—who all have impressed as the season has developed. Big Ben Ready for Round Two The Steelers’ leader on offense, Ben Roethlisberger, will be back for this one having been absent for the match earlier this season. His onfield presence and extensive experience could be a difference-maker. Marcus Gilbert, the team’s starting right tackle, will certainly be an important addition. They also didn’t have Ladarius Green, but he’s still in question with a concussion. Green hasn’t played since getting hurt against the Bengals in week 15. The Patriots Are Still The Patriots So long as New England have Tom Brady commanding the offense and Bill Belichick on the sideline, they are plenty dangerous. They have plenty of talent on that offense. Though they will have to play this Steelers game without Gronkowski, they will hope Martellus Bennett can exploit the Steelers defense. James White patrols the backfield offering an excellent receiving option, and Legarrette Blount has 18 rushing touchdowns. Dion Lewis is back and will show that he’s plenty healthy. With receivers Chris Hogan, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola and Michael Floyd, Brady has plenty of options.

Moreover, acupuncture can help - to lower stress hormones which interfere with ovulation - to balance thyroid function - to promote blood circulation in the uterus, ovaries and testes - to improve ovarian function and follicular development - to thicken the lining of the uterus -to boost and balance the immune system Over 10 years of clinical practise, Giedre has deepen her knowledge with many experts and very well-known teachers of Chinese medicine such as Brad Whisnant, Dr Tung and Dr Tan, completed the course with fertility experts Emma Cannon & Giovani Maciocia.

The agricultural appropriation bill approved March 4, 1907, requires the Secretary of Agriculture to investigate the watersheds of the Southern Appalachian and White Mountains and to report to Congress the area and natural conditions of said watersheds, the price at which the same can be purchased by the Government, and the advisability of the Government purchasing and setting apart the same as national forest reserves for the purpose of conserving and regulating the water supply and flow of said streams in the interest of agriculture, water power, and navigation." I have endeavored to have completed all investigations necessary to give Congress the information desired. Each one of the several problems involved has been handled by the most competent men whose services could be secured. The Forest Service detailed to the work several of its most experienced experts. The Bureau of Soils, after careful field study, has submitted information on soils and agricultural possibilities of the Southern Appalachian region. The Geological Survey of the Interior Department has made available the results of seven years of investigation of water power and navigation conditions of Southern Appalachian streams. Desirous of securing the most competent authority on every phase of the question, I have gone outside of the Government service to secure from Prof. L. C. Glenn, of Vanderbilt University, of Nashville, Tenn., the results of a three years' study of soil erosion in the Southern Appalachians, and from Mr. Philip W. Ayres, of the Society for the Protection of New Ilampshire Forests, a report on the commercial importance of the White Mountains. Approaching their subjects from different points of view, these men without a single exception have arrived at results which lead irresistibly to these conclusions, namely, that the Southern Appalachians and White Mountains are of vast commercial importance to the industries of the country; that the good or evil influence of these regions in an unusual degree depends upon the treatment given them, and that both are encountering well-advanced destructive influences, which, unchecked, will bring widespread devastation to the regions themselves and ruin to many of the industries of this country. 7 Therefore, in this report I desire to repeat and strongly emphasize my recommendation of six years ago, that the National Government undertake the purchase of a definite portion of these mountain forest lands, in order that they may, through use as national forests, be protected and improved. My former recommendation applied only to the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains. . I am convinced now that the Government should extend its purchases to the Southern Allegheny and the Cumberland Mountains and to the White Mountains also. A great opportunity presented itself to the Government in the purchase of these lands seven or eight years ago. The influences which are destroying the mountains were not then so far advanced. Virgin hardwood timber lands existed in large areas and could have been bought at from $1 to $5 per acre. Within the past eight years we have crossed the threshold of a hardwood timber famine, and in consequence the prices of such virgin hardwood lands as remain have advanced from 300 to 500 per cent. It will be the wisest course under present conditions for the Government to purchase cut-over rather than virgin lands. Even cutover lands with no prospect of a timber crop inside of ten or twenty years will cost as much now as virgin lands ready for the saw would have cost eight years ago. Barren and eroded lands, of which there is a greater area now, will cost no more to-day than in the past. But considering the expense of planting timber on them and the time before returns can be secured they become the most costly class of lands that can be purchased. That the two regions under consideration are advancing toward a condition of barrenness and sterility is the conclusion of every man who has had a part in this investigation. I do not refer to the loss merely of commercial timber. I mean absolute barrenness and sterility—without timber, without undergrowth, without soil. In 1896 Prof. N. S. Shaler, of Harvard University, said: South of Pennsylvania there is, according to my reckoning based on observations in every State in that upland country, an aggregate area of not less than 3,000 square miles where the soil has been destroyed by the complete removal of the woods and the consequent passage of the earthy matter to the lowlands and to the sea. At the rate at which this process is now going on the loss in arable and forestable land may fairly be reckoned at not less than 100 square miles per annum. In other words, we are each year losing to the uses of man, through unnecessary destruction, a productive capacity which may be estimated as sufficient to sustain a population of a thousand people. This rate has not only been kept up; it has been greatly accelerated. Faster than was considered possible eleven years ago these regions, through injudicious cutting, fires, clearing, and general misappropriation, are moving toward a forestless, soilless condition. If we wait till forest and soil are gone before beginning a sound policy of handling these mountains, we shall invite the bitter experience of France, who at infinite pains and an expenditure of $40,000,000 is endeavoring to restore both soil and forest to her mountains after a course of destruction such as ours at present. How the destruction of the Appalachian forests, north and south, means far-reaching damage to the country is pointed out in this report. The Appalachians must be almost the sole dependence for the nation's future hardwood supply. If this supply fails, the hardwood-using industries of the country must fail, and the entire

Last night, my boyfriend and I had just finished up a long hard day at work. We came home, exhausted, ate dinner in silence, because we were exhausted, and then plopped down on the couch... you guessed it, exhausted. We decided that after such a long and rigorous day, we deserved a movie night! And it was the best idea EVER. Now, I don't know if many of you are interested in time-piece periods, but my boyfriend and I decided to watch: The Man From U.N.C.L.E., set in the 1960's and WOAH it was amazing! It had the perfect blend of humor, suspense and romance. Not to mention the almost-kiss between Illya and Gaby had me breathless like, non-stop. At some points my boyfriend actually had to remind me to breathe. Let me share with you my favorite scene: She's just SO spunky! It's awesome! It was really refreshing to see such female strength in her character while still falling for her partner. So, if you've had an exhausting day, or you're just in the mood for a good movie with a KILLER sound track. Check this out! I can now officially say it's been added to my "favorites" list.

This paper focuses on the first ten years of experience with the Czech inflation targeting regime. Under this regime, the Czech Republic has successfully achieved disinflation. However, there were two periods of substantial inflation target undershooting and economic slack, related to two episodes of sharp exchange rate appreciation. Dealing with exchange rate volatility has been a key challenge for inflation targeting in the Czech Republic. In spite of the missed targets, though, the regime has been successful at anchoring inflation expectations of analysts and firms close to the announced targets, suggesting that it has worked well as a nominal anchor for the economy.

I was notified of a recent Hollywood Reporter article thanks to TV Squad today. It is, to say the least, quite interesting. The basic premise is this: the economic downturn in our economy has led to some peculiar full-season pick-ups for television shows. The main series discussed by the Hollywood Reporter is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Though it may seem counter-intuitive that a bad economy would lead networks to renew TV shows with poor ratings, it actually makes sense in a way that I never would have thought of. As it turns out, if a show like Terminator is canceled, then advertisers get to recoup the money that they had already pledged to that specific series. Therefore, for the network, it can be a better decision to keep those promised advertising dollars than gamble on a show’s replacement to garner higher advertising dollars. The economy works in mysterious ways, my friends. There are other factors at work too. Last year’s writers’ strike has led to a lack of quality mid-season replacement series being ready. Also, ratings are down across the board thanks to DVR and the explosion of cable programming. The bar for ratings success is getting lower and lower. But, the advertising aspect is, I think, the most notable thing to look at. John Rash, the VP of media negotiations at Campbell Mithun, had this to say: “Most years there would be more cancellations than there have been to date. But the dual dynamics of schedule stability keeping ad dollars in place is combining with delayed programming development from last season’s writers strike.” In addition to Terminator, Knight Rider and Private Practice are two other series with mediocre ratings that have been picked up for a full season. I was thinking that there had to be a reason for this rash of renewals. This appears to be it. Crazy. In Terminator’s case, there are countless other factors. FOX has vested interest in the Terminator franchise in general, especially with the upcoming film Terminator: Salvation, starring Christian Bale, hitting theaters next summer. Also, once the new year hits, Terminator will likely be buffered by 24, and should benefit from promotion during American Idol. Combine that with the series being a critical success and FOX’s continued faith in the show, and there’s a lot of reason to keep the show around. But, this economic theory is definitely a new wrinkle, and an interesting one at that.

Most digital marketers are extremely familiar with the performance metric ROAS (Return on Ad Spend), but is ROAS the core metric we should be focusing on? Are clients or in-house teams better served using ROMI (Return on Marketing Investment) or another metric to analyze accounts? Of course, ROAS and ROMI are both valuable metrics, but which one should you focus on in your account? What is ROAS? ROAS is calculated by dividing the campaign’s total revenue by the total cost(Revenue/Cost). ROAS is typically shown as a percentage, in dollars, or as a ratio. The primary benefit of using ROAS is the simplicity of calculating this metric. It’s a quick and effective way to analyze relative performance of multiple campaigns. ROAS does not take the profit margins of the product into an account. ROAS goals will vary across businesses, so it’s important to understand what ROAS goal is profitable for any campaign you are working on. What is ROMI? ROMI is calculated by dividing the campaign’s net revenue by the campaign cost and multiplying by 100. ((Revenue – Campaign Cost)/ Campaign Cost)*100 ROMI is typically conveyed as a percentage. ROMI provides business managers a direct view of the return an investment in marketing can yield. ROMI is metric that can be compared directly to investment in other business opportunities, such as investing in a new business location or product line. This view is beneficial when making management decisions on whether investment should be directed to marketing or other investment opportunities. The challenge when analyzing performance using ROMI is that many Ecomm businesses in the digital space view digital marketing investment as a core cost of doing businesses. Most Ecomm clients simply do not have the option to reduce digital marketing budgets if they want to continue growing their business. When should I use ROMI? For the vast majority of Ecomm focused digital marketers, I recommend using ROAS as the primary performance metric, especially if digital marketing is the primary revenue driver for your business. ROMI should not be overlooked completely, since it still provides valuable insight for business managers into the returns of digital marketing compared to other investments.

Looking at the numbers, the Chase British Airways Visa Signature card is one of the best travel rewards cards on the market today. First thing that might jump out at you is the rate at which spending earns rewards: you get 2.5 miles per $1 spent on British Airways and 1.25 miles per $1 spent on all other purchases. This is significantly higher than the standard rate that you see on virtually all other airlines cards, usually 2 miles per $1 of airline purchases and 1 mile per $1 spent everywhere else. The second thing you’ll probably notice is that sweet sign-up bonus of 50,000 Avios miles after spending $2000 in the first 3 months. Unfortunately, the legendary 100,000 bonus miles sign-up offer hasn’t been seen for two years, so we don’t recommend holding your breath for it. Still, 50,000 miles is enough for a round-trip ticket to Europe, with some exceptions. For example, Spain, Portugal, and eastern Europe award flights cost slightly more, around 60,000 miles. However, with British Airways there is a slight catch. Well, more like a massive bear trap. Charging taxes and fees on award flights is pretty standard practice, but British Airways is notorious for having some of the worst ones. The fees easily reach $500 and up. From their own fine print, you can expect a round-trip flight from Seattle to London to rack up $682-$1250 for a coach ticket. At that rate, the discount you’re getting from the full fare (typically around $1100) doesn’t amount to much. Probably the best way to use Avios miles is to book with partner airlines to avoid these high fees. For instance, you can transfer to American Airlines for slightly better domestic rates than AA offers. Even going to Hawaii or Central/South America is a better deal with Avios miles. Just be aware that for flights going to the UK, you don’t have the option of flying with a partner. Big spenders will also enjoy receiving a Travel Together Ticket after spending $30,000 in a calendar year. This voucher is good for two years from when you receive it and allows you to get a companion ticket in addition to your award flight for 0 additional miles. The companion flight has to share your itinerary and can only be used if you’ve redeemed the award flight on the main British Airways, not their partners. This isn’t exactly a free ticket, either. It’s still subject to those atrocious fees. So, the British Airways Visa card is by no means perfect, but it’s still one of the best offers of the year. Although it doesn’t come with a long list of airline-specific perks, it does sport no foreign transaction fee, for the serious traveler. And right now, for the first time, the $95 annual fee is waived for the first year. This offer is only good until the end of this September, so if it titillates you, by all means jump on it. Check out our guide to the details below. Money Math Annual Fee: $95, waived for first year Foreign Transaction Fee: $0 APR: var 15.24% APR for Balance Transfers: var 15.24% Balance Transfer Fee: 3% APR for Cash Advance: var 19.24% Cash Advance Fee: 5% Late Fee/Returned Payment Fee: up to $35 Over Credit Limit Fee: $0 Penalty APR: var 29.99%, applies with late/returned payment or exceeding credit limit Rewards Bonus: 50,000 miles after spending $2,000 in first 3 months 2.5 miles per $1 spent on British Airways purchases 1.25 miles per $1 spent on all other purchases Miles Worth: Varies Rewards Limit: None Rewards Expiration: None Redeem Rewards For: Award flights or partners Benefits $0 Fraud Liability Protection Purchase Protection: Yes Travel Insurance: Yes Rental Car Insurance: Yes Extended Warranty: Yes Customer Service: Yes So, with this card you can easily get 50,000 bonus miles. Use them to pay for a round-trip ticket to Europe or simply transfer them to American Airlines or another partner to avoid high fees and get better award rates. Then enjoy earning a higher-than-average amount of miles for the spending you were going to do anyway!

Google led the charge for many years to have just one inbox for all email, but I’ve always resisted that trend. Not because it’s sinister for any one service to have all your information (hint: it kinda is), and not because it’s a huge security risk if your only email gets hacked (hint: it totally is), but more because of Alarm Fatigue. When any message you get in your inbox could be critical, or even just a message from someone you really like and enjoy hearing from, and all messages go to the same inbox, then every message – every newsletter, sales pitch, bank notification, or dentist reminder – becomes urgent. You can’t safely ignore or defer any message, because you never know which ones really matter. And if you’re seeing Unread Message counts, or pop-up alerts, or any other kind of notification, it all starts to blur into a big anxiety-driving flood. Now, proponents of “One Inbox” might suggest that you can use filters to sort your messages into different buckets of important or not important. In fact, companies like Google and Microsoft have started to try to build smart engines that figure out what is important or not, to counteract the flood of alerting they themselves helped build. But I’ve learned that big companies tend to not know what I care about (#Imnotyourtargetaudience), and not every app you may use for email recognizes or honors those filters – especially if you don’t stick with the apps Google or Microsoft or whomever-your-provider-is gives you. So I prefer a different approach. When I was working in an office, we used Outlook at my company; and I did have a set of “clever” rules to pre-sort certain kinds of messages into different bucket folders based on how important / urgent they were. (Hint: part of how I accomplished this was using the system I’m about to explain…) And it worked OK, but I still always had a lot of mixed purpose messages to sort through. In my privately life, for many years I’ve maintained at least two email accounts… one for me personally, and a separate one for my photography. As a freelancer, I’ve added a third that I consider my “professional” identity. Now, as I’m launching my latest blog efforts with AndAlso.fyi and it’s child sites, I’m adding a few more. See, for me the easiest way to segregate email messages has always been by signing up wherever I may need email with purpose driven accounts. That way, I can judge importance of the alerts from that account by what it’s meant for. Instagram, Flikr, 500px? Use my photo email. System monitoring for my website / developer work? Use a dedicated notifications email. General social media? Use a friendly email Business / LinkedIn / Consulting? Use a professional email. Furthermore, this method lets me be selective about not just what emails I choose to look at, but what tools I use to look at them. System monitoring? Doesn’t really need to be on my phone. Business contacts? I can use a dedicated email app just for them, and even limit my use of that app to office hours. Financial institutions? Never check those over insecure public wi-fi. I know this won’t work for everybody, but for me it’s helped manage my F.O.M.A. (Fear Of Missing Alerts). I always know which alerts are worth checking, and which ones can wait.

Russell Westbrook made history on Tuesday (April 2) night by becoming the second player in NBA history to have 20 points, assists, and rebounds in a single game. Westbrook joins Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 22 points, 25 rebounds and 21 assists in 1968. After making history and helping the Thunder defeat the Lakers 119-103, Westbrook dedicated his night to Nipsey Hussle. The superstar athlete looked at the cheering crowd and told them, "That's for Nipsey!," which led to a standing ovation. Westbrook seemed to dedicate his entire night to Nipsey, wearing Crenshaw gear to the game, and speaking about the late rapper following the game. He told reporters, "That wasn't for me. That was for my bro. That was for Nipsey. 20 plus 20 plus 20. They know what that means," referencing the Rollin 60's.

In 2019, the UN stated that we only have 11 years left before environmental devastation became irreversible. We're down to only a decade left. More people are coming into the light about the climate collapse we're all facing. Thankfully, people want to know how they can make changes to support a better future. One way to do that is by the way we shop. Choosing to buy ethical shoes is a great place to start. So what are ethical shoes? What does ethical sourcing mean, and does it make an impact? We go into all the details below. The Problem With Modern Fashion You've probably heard the term "fast fashion" before, and you get a general idea that it's bad. But unless you've done your research, you may not know exactly how awful fast fashion is for the environment, and even for the people who produce it. Fast fashion refers to the high turnover of clothes. Producers use cheap materials and cheap labor to quickly race through fashion trends. They encourage people to keep buying as new trends come through. But there's a problem with cheap materials and cheap labor. Fast fashion is environmentally devastating. To make one cotton t-shirt (the kind you can usually find for about $10) takes 700 gallons of water to make. Fashion is the second biggest industry when it comes to pollution - right behind oil. It's responsible for 10% of all the carbon emissions in the world. And it's not good for the workers either. 1 in 6 people worldwide works in the fashion industry. Of these, only 2% of them make a living wage. That means hundreds of millions of people are slaving away in unsafe conditions and still can't feed their families. We've just scratched the surface since this isn't an article about how awful fast fashion is. But if you want a deeper look, and a good laugh, check out this episode of the Patriot Act. How Does Ethical Fashion Help? There's a lot of steps and processes that go into making clothes, and it's hard to trace them the whole way. For example, to grow the cotton in that t-shirt, where does the cotton come from? How are the workers treated? Does the plantation where the cotton is grown focus on rejuvenating farming practices? Then the cotton has to be processed and turned into fabric. How are those workers treated? What kinds of chemicals go into the cloth? Were those chemicals tested on animals? Are they toxic for the workers? So on and so forth, through every set of hands that touches your clothing until it reaches you. And when it does reach you, how far did it have to travel before that? What kind of carbon footprint does it have just from transportation? As you can see, there's an intense network of ethical lines behind your clothing choices. Ethical fashion works to track these lines through their sources. They want to guarantee the consumer that their financial choices support a good cause. Good for the Workers Ethically sourced clothing focuses on ensuring that people are protected throughout production. It wants to ensure that workers are in a safe environment that doesn't compromise their health and they're fairly compensated for the work they do. You can look for fair trade certification on ethical shoe companies and clothing companies. This way you make sure you're supporting companies that better the lives of the people who make your product. Good for the Planet Ethically sourced clothing also focuses on making sure clothing is produced in a way that's good for the environment. It's carbon-neutral, or otherwise sustainably produced. This means less carbon in the air, healthier farming practices, and smarter use of water. All of this ties together to help create a safer, more sustainable planet. Simple Changes You Can Make When you want to fight fast fashion, there's, fortunately, a lot you can do. And it comes down to these three simple principles. Buy Less One simple way you can fight fast fashion is simply by buying less. You don't have to get on the bandwagon with every new trend. Instead, try to see how long you can make your clothes last. Focus on taking good care of them - actually read the washing instructions, store them properly, and keep your shoes clean. Instead of throwing clothes out when they get damaged, learn how to mend them instead. Get Your Clothes Second-Hand Another way you can fight fast fashion is by making someone else's clothes last longer. Yes, you often get burned out on your wardrobe and want something new. It's still fine to go shopping with your friends but hit up thrift stores instead of the mall. You can also set up clothing swaps with your friends. Have everyone purge their closet, meet up at someone's house with their unwanted clothes, and see what can find a new home. The longer you can keep clothes out of the landfill, the more you're living an ethical and sustainable life. Hopefully, you can start to brag about how you got your clothes second-hand years ago and wear it as a badge of honor. Shop Sustainably Finally, the third way you can fight fast fashion is by shopping sustainably whenever you buy new. This can especially be good when you need something you don't like to buy secondhand, like underwear or shoes. Do your research to find an ethical and respectable brand, and be willing to put down a bit more than you normally would. You're getting a higher quality piece that makes the world a better place. Shopping sustainable brands is a great way to build up a capsule wardrobe full of pieces you stand by that will last for years. Ethical Shoes are Part of Creating a Better Future Buying products like ethical shoes and clothes can help take down one of the world's biggest causes of pollution. By buying ethically, you're making a statement about the kind of world you want to live in, and the kind of world you want to create. Convinced you need to buy more sustainably? Check out our ethically sourced shoe options.

Ned Malone and Lord John Roxton retire to Lord John's rooms to discuss the upcoming expedition. Lord John, who is an accomplished sportsman, has his wall full of trophies and the trappings of a man who is an adventurer. He asks Ned if he will do him a favor, which is to help him feed his upstairs neighbor who taken ill, after being drunk for days. The problem is the man is an accomplished marksman and he has vowed to kill anyone who tries to feed him. Ned, while not happy about the situation, agrees to help Lord John save his neighbor. Lord John then lets Ned know he was only testing him, to see if he had the courage necessary for the adventure they are about to embark upon. Lord John feels the success of the expedition rests with him and Ned, because he feels Professor Summerlee will be more of a hindrance than a help. Lord John is also concerned with Ned's ability to shoot a rifle, because in the jungles of South America the ability to shoot straight can mean the difference between life and death. Ned tells him he is an average shot, which in Lord John's estimation is not good enough. He loans Ned one of his rifles for the journey. They decide to book passage on a boat for South America and leave the Wednesday of the following week. They speak of how neither one of them know Professor Challenger well, but they both believe he may be telling the truth. Lord John believes him, because he has traveled extensively in South America and can fathom there being such a place as Challenger describes. After his meeting with Lord John, Ned meets with his editor, McArdle, and the two decide to talk to the chief of the paper, Sir George Beaumont, about Ned's assignment. Ned will write letters to McArdle, which will be published when they are given permission by Challenger. As the three men are boarding the boat Challenger meets them with instructions to open an envelope containing the location of the animals, after they reach a town called Manaos. He also tells Ned he may print whatever he likes about the expedition, as long as he does not give away where the men are on the continent. The three men arrive in South America and travel to the town of Manaos. They have hired some men to aid them in their journey, they are Zambo, Gomez, Manuel, Mojo, Jose, and Fernando. At the appointed hour the men open the envelope Challenger gave them as they boarded the ship. Inside the envelope is a blank sheet of paper; the men are confused and Mr. Summerlee is angry, as he feels the trip has been a colossal waste of time. Just as they are discussing what this means, Challenger appears at the door to their room. He has come by boat to take command of the expedition. He has also made arrangements for the same two Indians, who went with him to the secret place the first time, to join them now. He has hired a boat, the Esmeralda, to take them down the Amazon. On August 6 the men must disembark from the Esmeralda and use canoes to go deeper into the area around the river. The men are now traversing the smaller rivers which sprout from the Amazon. Professor Challenger and Professor Summerlee are at odds, as they argue about every subject of conversation. As they move further down the river the men begin to hear the beat of drums. It is the Indian tribes watching the men's progress down the river. They are waiting for an opportunity to attack; the drumbeats mean "We will kill you if we can". After a few days, Challenger sees his first marker that they are on the correct trail, it is an Assai palm tree. He now feels more confident that they are on the correct course. Three days later they push through to the land that is forbidden to the Indians, the land of the Curupuri. They reach an area where they can no longer use the canoes and everyone must help carry the provisions. It is here Professor Summerlee challenges Professor Challenger's authority to lead the group. He tells him he is, after all, on trial for his discovery and so should not be telling the others what to do. Lord John and Ned calm the two men and the expedition continues on its way. Ten days later as the men are walking Professor Challenger spots a large flying animal. He tells Summerlee it is a pterodactyl, but Summerlee is certain it is a stork. Lord John tells Ned it is unlike any animal he has ever seen. The men are now about seven miles away from the plateau Challenger discovered, which he says contains the prehistoric animals. The men have sailed to South America, traveled down the Amazon, and trekked to an area very near the plateau Challenger found. The two professors have not gotten along, but Lord John and Ned have done their best to keep harmony among the group.

OBU will host its annual Winter Bible Study Clinic Friday, Oct. 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This year's clinic is designed to assist pastors, preachers and laymen as they prepare to teach from the book of II Corinthians as a series. Dr. Scott Pace and Dr. Bobby Kelly will lead the sessions. Clinic teachers will use Lifeway's "Second Corinthians: The Church's Ministry Handbook." Lifeway describes the study by saying, "Second Corinthians can easily be called a handbook for church ministry. It answers pressing questions for the church today. Paul's answers to such questions, while addressed to a specific church with unique problems in the first century, are as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago. This study of Second Corinthians will remind us that the power for ministry is God working through us to accomplish His purposes and that the foundation and focus of all ministry is the gospel of Jesus Christ." Dr. Bobby Kelly joined the OBU faculty in 1997. He was named the Rowena Strickland Professor of Bible in 2000 and the Ruth Dickinson Chair of Bible in 2004, and he currently serves as the Ruth Dickinson Professor of Religion. He received OBU's Promising Teacher Award in 2000 and the Distinguished Teaching Award in 2011. A native of Kentucky, Kelly earned a Bachelor of Arts from Clear Creek Baptist College in 1988. He earned a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1992 and a Ph.D. from Southwestern in 1998. He has served as an interim pastor at several churches across Oklahoma and is a frequent Bible study and conference speaker. Dr. Scott Pace, Reverend A.E. and Dora Johnson Hughes Chair of Christian Ministry and associate professor of applied ministry, joined the OBU faculty in 2009. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from North Carolina State University; a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; and a doctorate in applied theology from Southeastern. He previously served as a student pastor, associate pastor of doctrine and as teaching pastor and administrator at First Baptist Church of Daytona Beach, Florida. He has also served as interim pastor at several churches in Oklahoma and was featured as camp pastor at Falls Creek in 2012 and 2015. There is no charge for the clinic. However, the on-campus lunch will be $8, which may be paid at the door.

Gambling addiction has been officially recognized as a disease in Germany since March 2001. This makes it the youngest addiction disease in the world ever. This is surprising because the passion for gambling (addiction) gripped mankind centuries ago. Long before other addictive substances were even known all around the world. It is defined as a…

Q/A inserts that provide short, straightforward answers (i.e., What are the "keys of the kingdom"? Matthew 16:9) simplified book introductions and helpful time lines "Cross Connections" that help a child see biblical connections to the meaning and need for the cross of Jesus Christ As a kid and teenager, I read the NIV and found it to be helpful in clarifying the biblical meaning of passages without getting bogged down with "thee's" and "thou's". As I grew older, I learned the value of having a more literal translation of the Bible, like the NAS. In recently years, the ESV has found a growing presence in conservative, evangelical churches. As a pastor, I use it and the NAS in my studies and think that children will generally do fine reading it. The challenge with any study Bible or niche Bible (women's, men's, teen's, truck drivers, Purpose Driven (!)) is that people can be tempted to read the notes and study helps more than they read the Bible itself. This particular Bible doesn't overpower you with notes and seems to have the right balance. With all the choices out there for a child's Bible, here's one that I can recommend without reservation and with a prayer that it is used to develop the hearts and minds of young followers of Christ.

Established in 1993 as a local structural engineering company, Conbit has since grown into a leading name with unique competence in high-level structural engineering and specialist lifting solutions. The company is headquartered in Eindhoven, where it employs around 45 members of staff that manage the execution of highly technical engineering and unique heavy lift projects around the world. Its Netherlands team is divided in structural engineers, draftsmen, project managers and supporting staff that embody the company’s reputation as a committed, co-operative and highly approachable partner. “Structural engineering and specialist heavy lifting remain the main pillars of the business and are our main areas of focus,” says sales manager, Bram van Oirschot. “We have in-house structural engineers as well as offshore crew in several teams that can handle specialist offshore lifting projects, and it is this unique combination of competencies that gives Conbit a competitive edge on the market.” Further to its main base within the Netherlands, Conbit maintains an office of six supporting engineers in Slovakia and has recently invested in a new office in Aberdeen – Conbit UK Ltd. These businesses have allowed Cobit to grow successfully in a number of sectors and today the business is recognised for its expertise within the oil and gas, petrochemical, infrastructure, logistics, construction and telecom markets. Conbit was last featured in European Oil & Gas Magazine during May 2014, and although the falling price of oil and the turbulent tides of the offshore energy sector have resulted in a slowdown in some of the world’s markets, Conbit has remained highly active during the later half of the year, as Bram elaborates: “We have seen a growth in demand from clients in Asia and Africa and although the North Sea has been quiet, we have done some interesting projects including a lift for Centrica on the Grove platform where we installed a storage tank underneath the weather deck. This was a very interesting project because we carried out the engineering of the lift as well as the execution and we provided specialist equipment for the lift, which was successfully undertaken on the first attempt. “The main challenge is always dealing with the weather constraints in the North Sea,” he adds. “We can lift in conditions of up to around Beaufort force four wind speeds. In other markets such as Africa for example, there are logistical challenges in transporting specialist lifting equipment to some regions inside of Nigeria and Angola.” Indeed the often isolated and hard to reach nature of assets within the oil and gas industry make the sector an ideal base for the specialist structural engineering and lifting services provided by Conbit. As such the North Sea and its aging fleet of offshore rigs is increasingly an important market for the company, where it can offer clients a unique and highly sought after solution. “We are focused on specialist lifting on rigs in hard to reach areas, such as lifting below another deck. This is very difficult because it is not possible to use a crane or a heavy lifting barge in these areas, which is where we see the potential for our solutions. We supply temporary lifting solutions and specialist lifting equipment that allows us to carry out lifts with high-speed winches, aluminium lifting booms and finally after the lift is completed, we bring everything back to shore at the end of the project,” Bram explains. “We opened the Conbit UK office because we still see a lot of potential in the UK market and we want to commit to this by investing in a new office in the area,” he elaborates. “We see a lot of potential in modifications to existing platforms, where there is limited space to install a new piece of equipment so it is often installed underneath the weather deck or under the helideck for example. Besides that the decommissioning market will emerge over the coming years, and that is where our structural engineering and specialist heavy lifting services come together quite nicely. “The challenge over the next couple of years in the North Sea will be the decline in new projects so a lot of the activity will be in brownfield sites, where the industry will see a lot of improvements to existing platforms and work to extend their operational lifetime. The operational life of many North Sea rigs has passed, since often they are certified for a period of 25 years and to certify them for the next ten years will require extensive structural analysis. The aging of the platforms will be a challenge over the coming years as will keeping them economical to run.” As the trends with the oil and gas sector shift and change, Conbit will continue to operate as a leading presence within the industry. This is because its services are both vital and flexible in as much as they provide an effective solution to challenging lift operations that can be applied from construction and installation through to maintenance and finally decommissioning. As such, Conbit will remain a vital industry partner for years to come.

The banded collar shirt originated with Alan, while working on his previous startup, realizing that he wore banded collared shirts a lot. Between the WeWork neighbors, meeting with investors, speaking at conferences, and coordinating with engineers, he could find himself surrounded by suits, sweats, yoga pants, or business casual on the same day. Banded collars were uniquely suited to flexing between these different environments, allowing for a put together, professional aesthetic that still wasn't semiotically burdened by the old-school stuffiness of a regular collared shirt. The first two prototypes were made by a friend of ours who is a costume designer, and then we made alterations and got a sourcing partner on board. We created the v1.0 banded collar shirt and got it into the hands of users, then had in depth conversations with each about design improvements and ideas. Here are the main revisions based on the user feedback: User-Driven Design Updates Fabric: The fabric of our first samples wrinkled too easily and didn't have the lush handfeel we were looking for. After a lot of searching, we found a 65% cotton, 30% poly, 5% stretch fabric blend that retained most of the handfeel of cotton, while still gaining technical benefits from the synthetic fibers (reduced wrinkling, quick drying, 4 way stretch) Fit: In addition to the forward rotation of the shoulder that was in the banded collar shirt v1.0, we decreased the curvature of the armhole, which reduces the pulling across the back when lifting the arms forward (by way of example, to make it more comfortable for a tester who wanted more space in the back when riding a motorcycle). Color: We originally were only going to make a blue chambray color, but we have added black chambray-- it just turns out people really like black shirts. Miscellaneous: There were a number of smaller changes (like slightly changing the thickness of the interfacing in the front placket), but those were the main ones. Solving the Millennial Workwear Problem "The problem that the chambray banded collar shirt solved for me was a semiotic problem faced by a lot of millennials. Our work lives are entirely unlike those of previous generations. It feels out of place to wear collared shirts and pants because we are semiotically attaching ourselves to a group that experienced a totally different form of career. We are not spending our lives building up 401ks in single institution corporate careers. We are the most likely generation to switch jobs, tend to take early career risk in startups that provide low salaries in exchange for the option like exposure to potential payouts from future exits and we work side hustles to augment income based on the ease of creating small scale businesses with the growth of ecommerce (Etsy, Shopify, etc.) and the availability of flexible hours through the gig economy (Uber, Lyft, etc.). We often work remote, engage in multiple projects simultaneously, and have a much higher degree of self-direction in our careers." To read the rest of the essay, click here. /r/MeritStore Product Discussion Cotton Plus We were looking for a very specific fabric: 1) incredibly soft to the touch for all-day wear, 2) stretchy, breathable, and sweat-wicking, and 3) able to be dressed up or down for a variety of situations. After reviewing over a hundred fabrics, we finally found this fabric, which we're now calling Cotton Plus. Specs: Medium-light weight 65% cotton, 30% polyester, 5% spandex chambray. Buttery Handfeel: By keeping the blend primarily cotton we get a superior handfeel that can only be achieved with a predominantly natural fiber blend. Seriously, it feels good. Breathability: 65% cotton is enough to maintain most of the breathability of a natural fabric, preventing that overly technical "plastic shirt" feeling of tech-fabrics from companies that *cough* won't *cough cough* be named. Quick-Dry: Cotton is absorbent and holds on to liquid, while polyester does not absorb liquid at all and only adsorbs (pulls fluid across it's surface). By adding polyester into the fabric blend, we have reduced it's overall propensity to hold onto fluids, making it more quick-drying than a pure cotton fabric. Reduced Wrinkling: Cotton fibers are essentially tubes of crumpled cellulose, which is why 100% cotton fibers are extremely prone to wrinkling. Polyester fibers are functionally long cylinders of bendy plastic, so the presence of polyester in the blend reduces it's overall propensity to wrinkle and hold creases. 4-Way Stretch: 5% Spandex in the blend is enough to give it a lot of flexibility which significantly increases the range of comfortable mobility. Visual Texture: Chambray is a weave fabric with a dyed yarn for the warp and a white yarn for the weft. This creates a visual texture that contributes for the "flexible formality" of the shirt -- preventing it from looking too "dress-shirt-ey." Details Banded Collar: Collar is tapered to the front (frames the face more naturally), with a low front neck drop and and inward slant to the neck opening (i.e. it is actually a section of a slight cone rather than a cylinder). This helps assure that the collar falls sleekly against the neck. Enhanced Mobility: Double wide plackets in the back allow for additional mobility in the arms while maintaining a slim cut, adding to the mobility allowed by the shoulder adjustments mentioned before. Two-Option Cuff Plackets: Deep forearm plackets with two sets of buttons allow optionality in the armhole width when rolling up the sleeves. On an average arm, this means that it can naturally be rolled up either below or above the elbow (whatever the situation requires). Shirt Length: The length of the shirt is designed to be equally comfortable tucked in or untucked (whatever the situation or user preference calls for) Easy Care: It was important to us from the beginning to make sure this shirt was machine washable, because you're presumably looking for a shirt not a new pet top take care of. Hang-drying the shirt is ideal for optimal results, but, (if we're being honest here) throwing it in the dryer on tumble dry low isn't going to kill it either (might cause slight shrinkage). Sizing Measurements are listed below, but here is a bit more of a common-sense explanation of how to think about sizing the BCS v2.0. Our sizes run regular until they go through a warm wash / tumble dry cycle, in which they’ll come out on the slim side. If you want to keep it a regular fit, hang dry. If you want it a bit slim, run it through a warm or hot wash / tumble dry cycle. If you’re not in between sizes: Let’s say you’re almost always a medium. Get the medium. You’ll do great. If you’re in between sizes: Let’s say you’re on the bigger side of medium, then the large could probably fit you without being super boxy -- and bear in mind that, while we give a “hang dry” recommendation on the tag, running it through a dryer will shrink it a bit and won’t ruin it like a wool shirt or something (I’m a smallish medium and I actually prefer to run these through a dryer). But, that’s just one option. If you’re on the bigger side of medium, and you get a medium, you’ll still probably be quite comfortable because our Cotton Plus fabric has a good helping of 4-way stretch. This means an in-between-sizer actually has a bit more optionality on the fit. You can take the smaller size (the 4-way stretch has a lot of give) or the bigger size (it won’t be boxy “borrowed dad’s shirt” looking because it’s on the slimmer side of that size).

The United States is currently stuck in a failing war against its own people in the so-called War on Drugs. Of course, the best way to win this war is to “just say no” to saying no and continue to use certain substances that this land of liberty does not give us the freedom to use. This can pose certain problems, which for most of us just means thinking about how broke you are 10 minutes after smoking some of the herb that you just dropped 50 bucks on. Of course, you could also find yourself shooting heroin into your last few healthy veins in a truck stop bathroom while the “Intervention” crew records the whole thing, but if that’s the case then you probably aren’t sitting in class reading this. As well-educated students trying to survive in these tough economic times, there is an easy step we can all take to save money: Help win this failed war on drugs and smoke a lot of marijuana at the same time. All you need to do is invest a little time and grow your own weed. The reason it’s even called weed is because it is a resilient plant, which basically means that it is easy to grow. Of course you can get technical and use more advanced products, fertilizers and techniques, such as hydroponics or aeroponics, but all you really need is soil, water and some source of light. Preferably the best place to grow is outside, as the sun provides the brightest and cheapest light you can find, and you have much more space to allow those small weed plants grow into monsters. However, with many of us students living in small apartments, not to mention in a town with a ridiculously bored and unnecessarily large (and I’m not just talking about Lt. Brian Olmstead’s waist size) police force, matters of space and security might make growing outdoors quite tricky. Luckily, it also happens to be very cheap and easy to bring your garden indoors with you. You know those compact fluorescent lights that environmentalists always tell you to replace your old bulbs with? Well for only about seven or eight bucks each, you can have yourself a very capable grow light for a smaller operation. Or you can invest about $200 in a high intensity light that can easily be purchased online or in a local hydroponics store and can illuminate a large area. If done correctly, even just one small plant could yield you enough weed to earn your money back and leave you with enough chronic left over so that every day of your life would be like hanging out on Snoop Dogg’s tour bus. Another bad thing about the war on drugs is that it forces you to deal with scary criminal drug dealers who probably lace your weed with PCP and crack without telling you and won’t hesitate to put a cap in your ass if you don’t have exact change. You also have to worry about your weed coming from some cheap grower who flooded his fields with harmful, inorganic chemicals. Since you’re growing the weed yourself, you get to control what you’re putting into your lungs without having to pay the unreasonably overpriced cost for a simple plant. Finally, the most important reason to grow your own weed is to combat global warming. As Al Gore, who is probably smoking a blunt at this very moment, says, there is far too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants consume carbon dioxide and, thus, growing marijuana is obviously the only solution to solving this enormous problem facing the world today. So stop driving your SUV to spend half of your paycheck on weed, and get on the Internet to learn specifics on how to grow it yourself. Then clean out that closet, which is holding nothing except that vacuum cleaner and surfboard you never use and start growing your own. Together we can inspire hope in our fight for the right smoke weed… by smoking a lot more of it… for free.

Muse have revealed that the stage set for their upcoming tour will feature an LED pyramid, dancing aliens and kung-fu! What they haven’t let on is that it will also feature four Limpet L5’s. Having used a Limpet L5 to solve the height safety problems of Jesus Christ Superstar the week before, Lighting experts Neg Earth next challenge was to find a way of getting technicians up into the complex gantry conceived for the Muse Tour. Once again the L5 provided an answer, this time using its personnel hoisting capabilities. For this occasion, the L5’s with their discreet matt black were bolted into position inside the truss. Where previously the lighting technicians would have had to use caving ladders to climb up into the rig, now they can hoist and lower themselves in and out of position at the touch of a button. Once the technicians are in place, the L5’s high speed retractable line gives them complete freedom of movement, while its fall prevention capabilities ensures safety at height at all times with any slips being immediately arrested Limpet CEO, Stephen Cornwallis said “height safety and access has never been as rock n’ roll as it is with the Limpet L5. The technicians now have their very own batman style system to hoist them into the rigging.” Dan Holmes, Director at Lift Turn Move added, “The L5 is fast, reliable and now available in black. The fact that the lighting guys can clip into the L5, hoist themselves into the rigging and then keep using it as a fall prevention system without ever needing to unclip, demonstrates the fantastic versatility of Limpet systems to deal with every kind of height safety and access challenge.” For more information: As the UK entertainment distributor for the LIMPET L5, contact your normal LTM sales person for further information or email

I had a total of six shows this past week. This was in addition to working six days at my day job. If it sounds exhausting, it sure was. But it was also eye opening as well. On Monday, I hit up the open mic at Britannia Arms in Downtown San Jose...first time I was there, I did really bad, so I wanted to redeem myself. I ended up having a pretty good set. Tuesday - night off.... On Wednesday I hosted my monthly show at The Gaslighter in Gilroy and the show featured Veronica Porras, Dan Wilson, and headliner Mike Guido. The headliner didn't seem to enjoy himself but the crowd enjoyed the show and that is all that matters. On Thursday I hosted the same monthly show with the same comedians at the Morgan Hill Playhouse. This show also went well. After the show, I took off for downtown San Jose and did a smaller show at South First Billiards. I did a 5 minute set to brush up some material which was done in front of mostly other comedians...but I still had fun. On Friday, I did an open mic at Paddy's Coffee House in Union City. This show turned out being a lot better than I thought it would. On Saturday, I ended the week doing a show with host Sean Sinha, Sammy Obeid, John Dekoven, and headliner Grant Lyon at Bunjo's Comedy Club in Dublin. Me at Bunjo's on 8/29/09 I missed my friend's housewarming party in San Jose because of it which I felt bad about, but this is my dream I am trying live out and I'm not going to accomplish it if I don't get out on the stage as much as I can. Sammy and Grant were amazing like always and their sets reminded me that I still have a long ways to go. These next few weeks I don't really have any shows booked right now (aside from September 2nd) so I'm hoping to focus more on writing. I really want to get to the point where I can quit my job and just live off doing shows.

Boy, I should really figure out a name for these creations that I'm about to show you, but I've got nothin'! I've heard them called water bottle life vests...and that's pretty cute! Some of you have been asking, so I (finally) pulled through and here is my tutorial for the water bottle tags I've showcased a few times on my blog. I need to give credit to my friend Andrea who got me hooked on these little cuties after she made them for a baby shower we co-hosted together. After she made them for the shower, I ended up making some for Mikayla's birthday party. And, because I always enjoy making something new... Just for you, I made a completely different one to share as my tutorial. I'm going to list the materials I used, but obviously you can adapt this to what you have in your crafting supplies (all of the products are Stampin' Up! - surprise! surprise!) And I'm going to share a lot of step by step instructions just to be sure I covered it all! Materials: **note SU! = Stampin' Up! - SU! Certainly Celery cardstock - SU! Rose Red cardstock - SU! Whisper White cardstock - SU! Regal Rose Designer Series cardstock (I'm not going to lie...I'm hooked on the coordinating papers that Stampin' Up! has to offer...it's so easy to match the colors and actually KNOW they go together) - 2" scalloped punch - 1 3/4" circle punch - 1 3/8" circle punch - SU! dimensionals - 1/8" hole punch - SU! Regal Rose ink pad - SU! stamp from the Seeing Spots stamp set (this set is actually retiring...go take a look at all of the great SU! products that we're saying goodbye to and let me know if you're interested in anything - nice sales pitch, huh? *wink*) - paper cutter - adhesive - pencil - small brads (I chose silver) Step 1: Measure your base color (Rose Red) 2-1/4" x 7-3/4". Score (or fold) 2" on each end. One flap goes up and one flap goes down. Step 2: Measure and trim your coordinating designer paper (Regal Rose) to fit inside the larger part. Step 3: Stamp your image on white and punch it out using the 1-3/8" punch. Step 4: Using your coordinating color (Certainly Celery), punch out a scalloped circle and 1-3/4" circle using your punches. Adhere the stamped image onto the 1-3/4" punched circle. Step 5: Adhere the scalloped circle to the top part of the strip of paper (the part that will fold down and go over the water bottle). If you're going to do it the perfectionist way, mark a little bit of an outline of the 1-3/8" circle on the scalloped circle to know where to punch. Step 6: Line up your 1-3/8" circle punch on the penciled outlines and punch through. It should look like this... Step 7: Fold up the other end of the paper and using your 1/8" hole punch, punch a hole on either side near the top of the fold. This is where your brads will go. Step 8: Feed the brads through each hole. Step 9: Place one dimensional on the back of the circle with the stamped image so that it will stick out a bit and place it on the empty space. Step 10: Place the top over your water bottle, add a Crystal Light packet, and you're finished! from Mikayla's birthday party the one my friend made for the baby shower The ideas for the cuteness factor are endless!

Many years ago, some women made a meager living by working in a cigarette factory. It was their job to put 20 cigarettes in each pack, by hand. Their manager was a mean old man. He carried a bamboo rod in his hand. His bodyguard, who accompanied him everywhere, was even meaner. Maura, only 19, was sick. But she knew that if she didn't go to work, she would lose her job. At the factory that day, she stuffed pack after pack of cigarettes. Sweating and dizzy, she left a cigarette out of one pack. The manager noticed her error immediately. He yelled at her and then hit her sharply across her back with the rod. Then the bodyguard kicked her in the stomach. Maura got up and staggered out of the factory. She died at home the next day. The day after Maura died, her coworkers refused to enter the factory. They stood outside. The manager told them to get to work. He raised his arm as if to strike them, but they stood firm. He told them he was going to get the police. They still didn't move. The bodyguard went inside and called the police. The police chief came. The women told the police chief what had happened to Maura. He arrested the manager and the bodyguard. He called the owner of the factory. A new manager arrived later that morning. He told the workers that they would all get the equivalent of a nickel per day raise. They went back to work. Before the chief handcuffed the manager and put him in the police car, the manager quietly offered the chief a great deal of money to let him "escape." He told the chief he would leave the country and never return.

Raspberry leaves are a good source of Nutrients and Antioxidants. The tea, made by using raspberry leaves, has a considerable amount of vitamin B and C. It contains minerals, like potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and phosphorus. A widely consumed herb, raspberry leaf has been used as a folk medicine for centuries and raspberry leaf tea has multiple health benefits. From treating morning sickness in pregnant women to providing relief from diarrhea, leg cramps, canker sores, cold sores and gingivitis, raspberry leaf tea is a great home remedy. Can also help to reduce inflammation in the body. This will reduce the symptoms of many health conditions, like arthritis, headaches, and fever. This property is mostly due to the effects of ellagic acid, an antioxidant. Ellagic acid also has anti-cancer properties. Raspberry leaf tea is known to benefit the male reproductive system by detoxifying excess estrogen and balancing hormones. This can lead to better fertility and overall health as it promotes testosterone in men.

The Symbolic Forms has long been considered the greatest of Cassirer’s works. Into it he poured all the resources of his vast learning about language and myth, religion, art, and science—the various creative symbolizing activities and constructions through which man has expressed himself and given intelligible objective form to this experience. “These three volumes alone (apart from Cassirer’s other papers and books) make an outstanding contribution to epistemology and to the human power of abstraction. It is rather as if ‘The Golden Bough’ had been written in philosophical rather than in historical terms.”—F.I.G. Rawlins, Nature

With the provincial election just one week away, a new poll reinforces the importance of Lake Winnipeg to all Manitobans. The online survey of 882 Manitobans was conducted by Probe Research Inc. for the Lake Winnipeg Foundation (LWF). Among the findings: 94% of Manitobans agree Lake Winnipeg is worth protecting 91% agree the health of lakes and rivers is very important to the quality of life in Manitoba 80% agree that Lake Winnipeg is one of Manitoba’s most important natural resources “We are not surprised by these numbers. They reinforce what I think all Manitobans already know: the health of Lake Winnipeg matters a great deal to Manitoba families,” says Alexis Kanu, executive director of LWF. “Manitobans have a chance to speak out in the upcoming election – and we hope they use their voices to speak for Lake Winnipeg, and for all the lakes and rivers across our province." Manitobans will head to the polls on April 19 and no matter who they plan to vote for, they expect Manitoba’s next government to lead the charge in improving the health of Lake Winnipeg. More than three quarters (79%) of Manitobans agree that addressing Lake Winnipeg’s problems requires strong political leadership. This number includes 81% of those who intend to vote for the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba, 92% of those who intend to vote for the New Democratic Party and 72% of those who intend to vote for the Manitoba Liberals. Three quarters (74%) of Manitobans told Probe they hope the next provincial government will put a high priority on addressing Lake Winnipeg’s problems. This figure jumped to 81% among those aged 55+, the demographic most likely to vote in elections. When asked about specific provincial measures to restore the health of Lake Winnipeg, Manitobans prioritized improvements to civic wastewater treatment and protections for threatened wetlands. 88% of Manitobans favour requiring the City of Winnipeg to take immediate action to upgrade its sewage treatment facilities 83% of Manitobans favour the enforcement of strict regulations to prevent further destruction of wetlands by agricultural operations Both measures are key components of LWF’s flagship initiative, the Lake Winnipeg Health Plan, which identifies eight sector-specific actions to reduce the amount of algae-causing phosphorus flowing into the lake from across its large watershed. Wastewater treatment and wetland protection are also two topics addressed in an election survey that LWF sent to all political party headquarters and to all Manitoba election candidates. Highlights from party responses include: Acknowledgment by the NDP of the need for immediate action to remove phosphorus from Winnipeg’s wastewater Recognition by the Progressive Conservatives that Lake Winnipeg is a cross-cutting file that requires an integrated approach across multiple provincial departments and increased financial investment Commitments by the Green Party and the Liberal Party to work in collaboration with Manitoba’s academic community to develop a comprehensive water-quality monitoring program Agreement by all four parties on the critical importance of protecting Manitoba’s threatened wetlands in order to protect our water quality All responses have been posted on LWF’s website. “Citizens have made it clear: Lake Winnipeg must be a priority of Manitoba’s next government,” Kanu says. “LWF looks forward to working collaboratively with our province’s new leadership towards a clean, healthy Lake Winnipeg and watershed – now and for future generations.” Probe Research surveyed 882 Manitobans online between March 28 and April 5, 2016. The sample was provided by Probe Research’s proprietary panel and supplemented with those from a reputable national panel provider. As an online survey is a sample of convenience, no margin-of-error can be ascribed. However, a random and representative non-convenience sample of 882 adults would have a margin of error of ± 3.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Gas Malaysia Berhad (“Gas Malaysia”) was established on 16 May 1992 to sell, market and distribute natural gas as well as to develop, operate and maintain the Natural Gas Distribution System (“NGDS”) within Peninsular Malaysia. We are licensed under the Gas Supply Act 1993 to supply and sell reticulated natural gas in Peninsular Malaysia. With the transition towards the liberalisation of the market set to take place in 2020 through the implementation of the Third Party Access (“TPA”), Gas Malaysia began efforts in 2019 to meet the TPA’s regulatory framework. By 31 December 2019, Gas Malaysia had successfully unbundled its business operations into two separate entities via the awarding of a distribution license and a shipping license from Suruhanjaya Tenaga. These two entities, which are both wholly owned by Gas Malaysia, are Gas Malaysia Distribution Sdn Bhd (“GMD”) and Gas Malaysia Energy and Services Sdn Bhd (“GMES”). GMD was granted a 20-year distribution license which allows it to take up the role as a gas distributor through its 2,600 kilometres of NGDS throughout Peninsular Malaysia. GMD will also develop, operate and maintain the NGDS to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of gas to customers across Peninsular Malaysia. GMES, meanwhile, was granted a 10-year shipping license and will conduct its role as a gas shipper as the license enables GMES to procure gas from a supplier and arrange the delivery of gas in accordance with the customer’s requirements. This allows GMES to make arrangements with a regasification, transportation or distribution licensee for gas to be processed or delivered via their facilities to consumers’ premises. In addition, Gas Malaysia through Gas Malaysia Retail Services Sdn Bhd also supplies Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) to 1,213 commercial customers and 14,160 residential customers. Further to this, Gas Malaysia has diversified into the non-regulated sphere of the gas distribution business via subsidiary and joint venture companies. These include Gas Malaysia Virtual Pipeline Sdn Bhd, Gas Malaysia Energy Advance Sdn Bhd, Gas Malaysia Synergy Drive Sdn Bhd and Sime Darby Gas Malaysia BioCNG Sdn Bhd.

This article appeared in the February 2012 newsletter and was written by Von Holguin, OSM/VISTA with Clearfiled County Conservation District and SGP The Clearfield County Senior Environment Corps (SEC) is a small but dedicated group of seniors and retirees who gather monthly to discuss important environmental issues that affect the area, like hydraulic fracture drilling and abandoned mine drainage (AMD). Most of the members of the SEC perform regular water quality testing on nearby streams and tributaries, and report that data back to the SEC and to Kelly Williams, the Watershed Specialist for the Clearfield County Conservation District. The SEC’s work on creating a baseline for readings like pH, conductivity, and total dissolved solids provides many valuable data points and a scientifically verifiable record for future studies like Trout Unlimited’s landmark Benchmark Study of the West Branch Susquehanna, a study that showed indisputable proof of great improvements in water quality in the West Branch, largely due to stream remediation work by the SEC, the Clearfield County Conservation District (CCCD), and various local watershed groups. The SEC’s sampling work in past years had actually helped provide some of the data that went into this benchmark. The Senior Environment Corps is very aware of environmental problems, and several members have been actively sending letters to Harrisburg to make sure that their representatives are responding to these concerns properly. The SEC is especially concerned about the proposed revision to 25 PA Code §102.14 that would remove the required 200-yard riparian buffer zone between drilling or mining projects and streams and waterways. SEC member Marianne Atkinson has also sent letters to the EPA about new and proposed drilling projects near her property. Another key member of the SEC is Carl Undercofler. He has also served as an Associate Director for the CCCD for over 9 years. During this time, he has dedicated thousands of hours of his personal time to not only the SEC and the CCCD, but also the myriad of other watershed organizations and other volunteer groups that he participates in. Although he has been retired for several years now, he puts in time nearly equivalent to a full-time job! His assistance in the Trout Unlimited benchmark study cannot be overstated, and without his help, it would not have turned out as well as it did. The Clearfield County Senior Environment Corps is an integral part of the West Branch Susquehanna River’s volunteer network. It is with them, and volunteer organizations like them throughout the West Branch, that much of the positive change in the river’s quality begins on a grassroots level. Interested in joining the Clearfield County SEC? Contact Kelly Williams with the Clearfield Conservation District at 814-765-8130.

The Jason Spezza era in Toronto could be over as soon as it began. With Zach Hyman set to return from injury, the consensus from media members around the league, such as TSN’s Shawn Simpson, is that Spezza will be the odd man out for the Maple Leafs. The respected veteran centerman had plenty of suitors this off-season, but opted to take a hometown discount to suit up for the Leafs. However, his opportunities with Toronto have been limited by head coach Mike Babcock and it is now expected that Spezza could be on his way to the waiver wire and then off to another NHL team or down to the minors. For whatever reason, Babcock has not seen Spezza as a valuable piece of his roster so far this season. While GM Kyle Dubas and company likely saw the former perennial 50+ point scorer as a potential bargain at the $700K minimum contract they signed him to, he has been unable to maximize that value. Babcock has been hesitant to give Spezza the opportunity to make the most of his affordable contract. Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston states that it was apparent all the way back in training camp that Babcock wasn’t enthused by Spezza’s addition and didn’t see a particular fit for him in the lineup. Granted, Spezza is not exactly an ideal fourth-line center, but surely the team could find a way to use the former All-Star, right? In fact, only the injury issues with John Tavares have allowed Spezza to make regular appearances – although he has been a healthy scratch frequently as well – but even in those games his ice time has been limited to a career-low 11:06 ATOI. Spezza has still managed four points in nine games and has an impressive 57.3% Corsi, but nothing he has done has seemed to change Babcock’s mind as to his role on the team, likely forcing management’s hand when it comes to waiving him upon activating Hyman. Spezza, a veteran of more than 1000 NHL games, stands a very good chance of being claimed on waivers. The Maple Leafs were far from the only team to pursue the capable pivot this summer and that interest has likely only risen given his minimal cap hit and the pressure that many teams are facing to add talent in the face of a salary cap crunch or injury crisis. While Spezza is no longer the top scorer he once was, he did produce nearly 30 points in each of his final two seasons with the Dallas Stars despite noticeable regression and could do so with another club. Spezza’s face-off numbers are down this season and he seems to have lost a step in his skating, but otherwise he still plays a complete, two-way game. On top of that, he brings invaluable experience and locker room leadership to any team. The one club that sticks out as a possible landing spot is of course the Ottawa Senators. The team with which Spezza has spent most of his career, the Senators were one of his most aggressive suitors this summer and their young squad could certainly benefit from his veteran presence. GM Pierre Dorion has made it known that he is looking to make an addition up front and may be able to do so without parting with trade capital by simply claiming Spezza. His minimal cost would also be attractive to a team that often seems allergic to spending. Both Simpson and The Ottawa Sun’s Don Brennan see Spezza as an ideal fit in Ottawa as a mentor and a player who can contribute throughout the lineup. While Spezza signed in Toronto this summer to return to his hometown, a reunion with the Senators would truly be a homecoming for the former face of the franchise.

Both should be replaced. Coach far to big an ego and the GM in way over his head. Things gone downhill since Lou left. Shanahan is to blame for all of this. This team is far too soft and weak defensively for playoff hockey. Reply Down with OBP 3 years ago Damien Cox….is that you? Reply dalrob 3 years ago Really? That’s all you got? That is not true? Don’t just be sarcastic and then run away! Reply jimmertee 3 years ago Agreed. Leafs aren’t tough enough for the playoffs. They play like a European Olympic team. Without Freddie they would’ve exposed as a very weak club. Reply Down with OBP 3 years ago “Run away”. Lol. You sound like every talk radio talking head. You have no evidence this is actually a thing but sure. It’s because Lou left. Reply Down with OBP 3 years ago You also started off complaining about a power struggle over Spezza but then ended with the oft used refrain “they are soft”. Maybe they need more truculence, but Spezza ain’t it then. I’m just surprised you didn’t have a tirade against the ownership group who just doesn’t want to win enough. Reply Stan Smith 3 years ago I’m not so sure Dubas and Babcock are at odds about moving Spezza. If Spezza was to stay the likely person to be moved would be Nick Shore. Dubas specifically went after Shore at the end of last season.. They signed him as soon as his season was done with Magnitogorsk Metallurg. Reply dalrob 3 years ago So sad that the young, obviously far too proud, GM can’t see that. As a Leafs fan since ‘71, the feeling that they would screw this up like all of the other times has never left me. Dubas caved to all three young forwards whose greed was very disappointing. I used to be huge Marner fan. Not any more. Reply Down with OBP 3 years ago This is you too? Save it for one of the call in shows. This is gold. Reply dalrob 3 years ago Okay. You made your point but fail to offer an opinion. You are fine with what is going on and, given time, things will work out, correct? I hope you are correct but I have been down that road one too many time. When the refs put the whistle away in the playoffs the Buds will be gritty enough? Share some thoughts. That is what these forums are for, are they not? Reply dalrob 3 years ago Or are they to show the world how brilliant you are with smart-ass, one word come backs and then offer nothing? Reply dalrob 3 years ago Not saying that at all. I just think he is not the same. He is missing his “jump”. Maybe it is a nagging injury? Hope it isn’t the fact that he got a significant amount of his money up front. Just saying……. Reply The Mistake of Giving Eugene Melnyk a Liver Transplant 3 years ago Yeah, greedy kids wanting what they earned and to not get screwed by billionaire owners! It’s the players that are greedy, on an unrelated note my boss wanted me to take a $1 paycut and I told him to shove it!

Back in March, Damon McMahon shared his terrific fifth album as Amen Dunes, Freedom. The album's thesis statement of sorts is a sprawling, nearly six-minute track called "Believe," where the record's themes of family, love and death intertwine into something gorgeous. Today, McMahon is sharing the Steven Brahams-directed video for the song, and it's an appropriately contemplative, nostalgic clip. Check it out above.

Ah, the beauty of bathing in the breeze. Here we present our some of our favorite outdoor showers from issues past. View 7 Photos Queenstown gets cold in winter, hence the installation of a sauna. Outside, the landscaping was kept deliberately casual, with rock walls and gravel paths. Norwegian summers are short, and it’s customary to spend as much time outdoors as possible," says Kari K. Holm, who with her husband, German-born architect Jürgen Kiehl, created a residence in the remote area of Hanko, Norway. Read the full article here. The glass and wood walls of the bathhouse, like other retractable panels on the house, offer shade with a view. Mimicking the cantilever of the house, an outdoor shower just off the master bedroom stretches out gently toward the surrounding woods. The balcony is notable for its outdoor shower. The evening bath is a ritual in Japan, and public baths are still around, but this is a new twist. Moriyama curtains the bath during use, but won’t cover any other windows, “because it feels good to couple the inner space with the outside world.” "Personally, I’d rather be living outside,” says architect David Hertz, who created a compound—four dwellings connected by bridges and clustered around a courtyard lap pool—for himself and his family in Venice, California. Sophie, 11, rinses off in the outdoor shower made from 12-by-12-inch Syndecrete tiles cut into 3-by-3-inch squares, which Hertz intentionally set so that they appear to undulate. The sink is from Boffi; the shower fixtures are Arne Jacobsen for Vola. Read the full article here.

February 8, 2021 - Today the Government of Ontario announced the extension of the Stay-at-Home Order and the enhanced provincewide restrictions (under O. Reg 82/20) in most areas of the province, including the Public Health (WDGPH) area, until Tuesday, February 16, 2021. The province has indicated the intention to “gradually transition each region from the current shutdown measures, to a revised and strengthened COVID-19 Response Framework: Keeping Ontario Safe and Open. The province will assess our local COVID-19 data trends and will decide which zone of restriction (Grey, Red, Orange, Yellow, or Green) our area will be moved back into on Tuesday February 16, 2021. What does this mean for the Department of Athletics & Recreation? The restrictions for sport and recreational facilities will remain in effect until at least Tuesday February 16, 2021 and our programs and facilities remain closed. The province will decide what zone of restriction our region will move back into. We do not yet know this information. As soon as there is information on when we will open and what public health restrictions will be in place at the time of re-opening, this will be communicated.

Taste is a complex phenomenon. We do not experience the sensation through a single sense (as we would when we see something using our sense of sight, for example) but rather it is made up of the five senses working together to allow us to appreciate and enjoy food and drink. Initial visual inspection of food indicates if we would consider consuming it. Then, when eating, smell and flavour combine to allow us to perceive a taste. Meanwhile, the mix of ingredients, texture and temperature can further impact how we experience it. Unfortunately, this means that losing any of our senses, particularly smell or taste, can reduce our enjoyment of food. Think of the last time you had a cold or a blocked nose. It’s likely that the temporary loss of smell changed the way you tasted food, lowered your appetite, or might even have caused you to over-consume as a means of seeking satisfaction and satiation. A similar phenomenon happens when we get older. The way we perceive taste starts to change by the age of 60 – when the sensitivity of our sense of smell also starts to diminish – becoming severe from the age of 70. Contributing senses As set out above, when our sense of smell functions less and is not able to detect and discriminate between different smells, it affects our taste perception. The decline in sensitivity of sense of smell with age is due to several factors, including a reduction in the number of olfactory receptors – which recognise different odour molecules – in the back of the nasal cavity, as well as a declining rate of regeneration of the receptor cells. Another reason for impairment of the sense of taste with ageing is due to structural changes in the taste papillae. These bumpy structures host taste buds in the mouth, on the tongue and palate. One type of these papillae, fungiform, which contain high levels of taste buds, decreases in number as we age and also changes in shape, becoming more closed. The more open the papillae, the easier it is for chemicals in food to come into contact with the receptors to create taste. Closed papillae reduce the contact surface between food compounds and receptors resulting in less perception of food tastes. Changing tastes Poor chewing is another factor that contributes to low detection of tastes. Due to ageing or poor oral health, some people lose their teeth, with many resorting to dentures. But dentures, particularly if ill-fitting, can affect the quality of chewing and breaking down of food compounds. This can then reduce the dissolution of the food compounds in saliva and reduces the contact levels with the sensory receptors in the taste buds. In addition, saliva secretion can also decline as a result of ageing. This means that there is less fluid to carry food compounds to the taste receptors, and less liquid available to help food compounds to dissolve, so taste is more poorly received. General health also plays an important role in our sense of taste at any age. Head injuries, medicinal drugs, respiratory infections, cancer, radiation, and environmental exposure such as smoke and particulates can all contribute to an impaired sense of taste and exposure to many of these factors increase as we get older.
