Deficiency of magnesium with cardiovascular effects is thought to be related to alterations in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) in the vasculature. Measurements were made of the PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) outflow from the perfused isolated mesenteric arterial bed and the fatty acid composition of the tissue in rats maintained for 14 weeks on a low magnesium (LMg) diet. The serum Mg levels were significantly decreased and the serum Ca levels were significantly increased in the LMg group as compared to the controls. The arachidonic acid concentration in the triacylglyceride fraction was significantly increased in the LMg group. Long chain polyunsaturates such as 22:4n6 and 22:6n3 were consistently increased in the LMg rats as compared to the controls in both the phospholipid and triglyceride fractions as previously reported in other tissues. The PGE2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and TxB2 outflows were significantly increased in the LMg group as compared to the controls. These findings suggest that the biosynthesis of eicosanoids, mainly PGI2, is stimulated in Mg deficiency, and this may provide protection against intracellular Mg depletion and Ca accumulation, so as to counteract to the constricted and hyperreactive state of the vasculature in such a condition.

Arizona Cardinals center Rodney Hudson has committed to playing in 2022, after he did not attend minicamp amidst retirement rumors. Fantasy Impact Hudson returning to the lineup is great news for the Cardinals offensive outlook in 2022. Their passing game was far more successful a year ago with Hudson on the field to the tune of 8.1 YPA versus 7.3 YPA with him sidelined. This gives Kyler Murray and his pass-catchers: DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, and Zach Ertz a boost in their respective fantasy stocks. James Conner will also certainly benefit as the Cardinals ran their rushing behind their center a staggering 53% of plays with 4.2 YPC. Sammy Schulman4 weeks ago Rodney Hudson (ribs) activated from injured reserve The Arizona Cardinals activated center Rodney Hudson (ribs) from the injured reserve on Saturday. Fantasy Impact Hudson initially hurt his ribs in a Week 5 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He was placed on the injured reserve shortly after and missed three games. It's unclear if he will play in Sunday's contest against the 49ers in Week 9, but when Hudson does return, his presence on the offensive line boosts QB Kyler Murray and the Cardinals offense. Brad Camara41 weeks ago Rodney Hudson receives two-year, $20.1 million extension with Cardinals Arizona Cardinals C Rodney Hudson was recently traded from the Las Vegas Raiders on a one-year deal but has reportedly received a two-year, $21.2 million extension with $16 million guaranteed across the next three seasons, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fantasy Impact Hudson is an All-Pro center deserving of the big extension with Arizona, who had trouble creating running lanes and engaging in good pass protection throughout the 2020 season. Hudson is a three-time first-team All-Pro center and will be an immediate upgrade to fortify the line. This will allow QB Kyler Murray to buy more time in the pocket to assess his reads while operating in unique motion and spread formations schemed by Cardinals' head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The zone-blocking schemes within Kingsburys' offensive system will allow Hudson to be a road grader in the trenches while using his speed to get out in open space on screens. The Cardinals will likely continue to add pieces to their offensive line through the draft at the end of the month but Hudson will lead the unit based on his experience and ability to communicate pressures based on defensive alignment. Matthew MacKay1 year ago Rodney Hudson officially traded to the Arizona Cardinals Former Las Vegas Raiders C Rodney Hudson has officially been traded to the Arizona Cardinals, per Ian Rapoport. Fantasy Impact Hudson is a former All-Pro C for the Raiders who will be an immediate upgrade on the Cardinals' offensive line in 2021. The 32-year old three-time Pro Bowler was traded in exchange for a third-round pick and the Raiders' seventh-round pick in the upcoming 2021 draft. He played all 16 games for the Raiders in 2020 and went without a single penalty, bringing immense value due to his durability and discipline.

When tenderness and swelling appear in some joints of a person then this type of disease is known as Arthritis. Joint pains, redness, and stiffness are mainly the symptoms of arthritis that commonly worsen with age. Arthritis is more than 100 different types with different treatment methods and also different causes. But generally, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the two most common types of arthritis. Most commonly arthritis is seen in adults over the age of 65 years, but rarely in children, teens, and younger adults, this disease can also develop. This disease is most common in women in comparison to men and also in people who are overweight. Symptoms Of Arthritis Most of the signs and symptoms of arthritis are visible in joints. Signs and symptoms that are depending on the types of arthritis include: Range Inflammation Pain Stiffness Redness Warmth Tenderness Decreased of motion Causes Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis are the two main types of arthritis that damage joints in their ways. Osteoarthritis Wear and tear damage of joints cartilage that is the hard, slick coating on the ends of bones where they form a joint are take place in osteoarthritis. Inflammation of the joint lining also causes by osteoarthritis. This wear and tear can speed up by a joint infection or a joint injury. It also affects the entire joints of the body. Connective tissues that attach muscle to bone and hold the joint together have deteriorated and also some changes in the bones are caused by it. Rheumatoid arthritis The immune system of a body that has rheumatoid arthritis attacks the lining of the joint capsule and a tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. Inflammation and swallowing of the synovial membrane are also taken place in this type of arthritis. Destruction of cartilage and bone within the joints can eventually take place in this disease process. Diagnosis The first step towards the treatment of arthritis is diagnosis. Some tests that are necessary for the process of diagnosis are- Tests like x-rays– In the process of osteoarthritis diagnosis, X-rays are most helpful. It often showing some bone stimulation, cartilage loss, and bone rubbing against bone in some severe cases. Test joint fluid– If a doctor suspects some infection in arthritis that can create some complicated disease, then testing the fluid sample from the infected joint will usually confirm the diagnosis and also helps to determine that how the disease will be treated. Test blood or urine– These types of tests are used to determine what type of arthritis a person has and also helps to determine the other diseases as the cause of your symptoms. Most of the people with rheumatoid arthritis have rheumatoid factors, though RF may also be present in other disorders. In addition, a newer test that measures the levels of antibodies in the blood is known as the anti-CPP test. It is more specific in comparison to other tests. The presence of these antibodies may also be used to predict which people will get more severe rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment The major aim for the treatment of arthritis is to reduce pain, minimize joint damage, and maintain or improve life. Medicines and lifestyle strategies help in achieving this and protect joints from further damage. Medications Pain-reducing medications, physical activities, weight loss, and self-management education helps in the treatment of a non-inflammatory type of arthritis. Therefore, this treatment can also be used to treat inflammatory arthritis such as RA, with non-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroids. Natural Remedies Good and healthy food, a balanced diet, exercise can help people to reduce the pain in joints and many other symptoms. Avoiding smoking and drinking is also a very effective way to reduce arthritis. Diet Make a proper diet plan as it is compulsory for this disease. You can make a proper diet plan and follow it. Here are some food products that contain sufficient proteins for the diet- Fish Nuts and seeds Fruits and vegetables Oil Olives Whole grains Conclusion Arthritis is the swelling in one or more joints that leads to pain in the joints. Due to pain in joints, people are unable to walk, do their work properly. The pain is severe. In many cases bones of the joints are extended because of this the fluid consistency is reduced which leads to the rupture of bones one onto the other. The person with arthritis should follow all the precautions properly like- they should not walk regularly, do the exercise for joints also properly. Also, they should increase vitamin D and calcium in their diets. In addition, the bone density of a person is inversely proportional to age. As you grow old the bone density decreases. So, one should follow the proper diet and take proper medication as prescribed by the doctor. They should not move up to the stairs as it will be dangerous for their bones.

At 5:30 AM UTC today, a Meerkat Finance developer identifying themselves as “Jamboo” posted a short message in a newly-created Telegram channel, “Meerkatrefunds.” In it, Jamboo said that the exploit was a “trial” testing user’s greed and “subjectivity,” and that the team was preparing to refund all victims. Jamboo provided proof of their association with Meerkat by sending a small transaction from the Meerkat deployer, demonstrating that they have access to the exploited contract (or communicates with someone who does). The transaction was processed on the Binance Smart Chain network roughly twenty minutes after Jamboo’s Telegram post. Meerkat was a yield vault project that forked Yearn.Finance’s code — one of many forks of Ethereum-native protocols that populate BSC. The attack on Meerkat initially took place on March 4, one day after Meerkat’s launch, resulting in a loss of 73,000 BNB and $14 million of stablecoin BUSD — a total of $31 million in user funds. Members of the community were quick to label the exploit as a “rugpull” — a colloquial term for when an insider or a member of a development team exploits a contract using specialized permissions — given that the Meerkat deployer contract was updated to allow the vaults to be drained shortly before the attack. Some thought that the exploit would be a test of Binance Smart Chain’s claim to decentralization. BSC is run by a network of 21 validator nodes, many of which are thought to be associated with or run directly by Binance. Likewise, the exploit put the attacker in a difficult position: Binance controls on-offramps to BSC, meaning any stolen funds were locked on the chain and impossible to realize as profits. Attention now turns to the Meerkat developers and their motivations. Jamboo’s message was short on specifics, and contained only vague references to what instigated the team to steal $31 million from users. Jamboo wrote that the team “invited a third party (hacker) to attack the vulnerability through the verify proxy contract,” and that a full report on the exploit will be forthcoming.

We’ve all been there. You get caught up in the hype surrounding a particular beauty product and know you must have it. You spend your hard-earned money and take the plunge! However, to your dismay, the product SUCKS. Well, I’m no stranger to that feeling. Since I review and try a lot of different Korean beauty products, there are bound to be some I don’t like or feel was over-hyped. Here are some of those products that I wish I could go back in time and persuade myself to not buy! *Disclaimer: All of these are my own opinions. I understand there are people who might love these products, but they just didn’t work for me… no hard feelings, yeah? ;)* Let’s get to the breakdown of products I regret buying… I bought this when I was in Seoul, Korea. I was really into the whole “peeling gel” thing because I thought it was such a neat idea! Something that would exfoliate your skin and remove all the dead cells without being too abrasive? Sounds great! I saw this in Nature Republic and saw how cheap they were (around $4!) so I snatched them up without a second thought. Unfortunately, these Skin Smoothing Apple and Lemon Peeling Gels are not even worth the couple bucks I spent on them. They don’t remove any dead cells, they smell AWFUL and they just don’t work. I know, I know… I should’ve known these were too gimmicky to be true. Luckily, I received these in a Mask Maven Box, so I didn’t actually buy them. But these Tony Moly Red Cheeks Girl’s Patch are just silly, in my opinion. They are too slimy, slide right off your face, and don’t have any lasting effects. Fun yes, effective no. You can pick up capsule packs like this at pretty much every road shop in Korea! I love the idea behind these because you can try different skincare masks without committing to buying a full size. Why don’t we have this in the United States?! Anyways, these It’s Skin Todak Todak Capsule Packs didn’t do anything for my skin. Now I know some people like this Holika Holika Pro Beauty Bloody Oil Tint. Mine is in the shade “Vampire Kiss“. The concept behind this is it’s supposed to be a moisturizing lip tint that doesn’t dry out your lips. At first, I liked this and the shade itself. But then….something weird happened. One day, I picked it up to use it and noticed it looked weird. I shook it and noticed it wasn’t mixing together! I was so confused because before, it mixed together perfectly. I opened it and noticed it had a really ODD smell. Yuck. It smelled like a dirty mop. haha. I don’t know if it’s just mine but I couldn’t even bring myself to use this. It looked gross and smelled gross. Sad thing is is that I’ve only had this for a couple months. It shouldn’t be bad already! Let me know if you had this same issue 🙁 You can see the “chunks” in it…like it doesn’t mix together anymore! This is kind of silly. But the reason why I’m including these hair velcro things from SkinFood is because they don’t hold my hair back when I’m doing my makeup! My hair is too thick and when I use these to pull my bangs back, they slowly migrate back towards my face. Not very helpful when I’m trying to apply my foundation without getting it in my hair. Another thing that is super hyped in the Korean Beauty World is the concept of cushion products. Cushion foundation, cushion blushers, cushion eyeshadows… you name it! There’s a cushion version for everything. I saw this Lock N’ Summer Cushion Eyeliner at Etude House and thought “Wow, how great! It’s so portable!”. Well, I used this thing maybe once and then the next time I went to use it, it was all dried up! So sad. And yes, I had the lid on tight! I think the actual eyeliner formula was just to dry and this was more of a gimmicky product than actually functional 🙁 These Dr. Mascara Fixer Mascara Primers from Etude House are well-loved by many. But these just didn’t work for my eyelashes. I don’t have “Asian” eyelashes (meaning pretty straight, short eyelashes) but I don’t have great eyelashes either. Either way, these mascara primers were hard to work with for me and almost made mascara application harder for me. Finally, I did mention the Berrisom Tattoo Lip Tint Pack in my video! I know this one is SUPER controversial… so you’ll have to watch the video to see why it didn’t work for me and why I don’t like it! 😀 Well that’s it! I’m sure I’ll encounter more products I don’t like as I try more, so don’t forget to subscribe to my channel, The Beauty Breakdown, to get updates on when I add new videos, content, etc! Let me know what you think and products you didn’t care for so I can avoid them at all costs! haha.

Handmade triple weave tapestry with a neutral tone palette of ivory, olive green, slate blue, light brown and grey. Visually, the piece is split into three vertical sections with the outer two containing three squares while the center column holds six squares. Inside the middle top square, four sections can be found where a brown yarn protrudes at a longer length. A heathered effect is shown, either highlighting the lighter or darker tone of the color, providing a beautiful balance to the piece. This work was woven as three layers, simultaneously, connected through the weft in some parts, while some sections are purposefully left unconnected allowing the piece to be showcased and experienced in a variety of unique ways. This invites imaginative interaction and dynamic engagement by the user. Via the artist: "Box was created while I was in residency at Penland. It was woven as a flat continuous textile, using triple weave, and can be activated in many ways, including being folded to form a simple box. It was definitely inspired by Kay Sekimachi, and how she uses multiple-layer weaving and minimal sewing to create these amazing boxes. In my work, I like the idea of breaking free from the default flat rectangular shape through weaving techniques, like in the Modular Weaving series, or with shape weaving, triple weaving, etc."

The tank itself is 150 Gallons with 1/2 inch Glass. Almost everything other then the mechanical equipment were custom made including the cabinet, hood, sump, and auto top off reservoir. The goal is to house and breed Sepia Bandensis in a mixed reef system. This project is an attempt to go beyond the traditional construction of a salt water system, but to make it an artistic endeavor as well. Like usual with my creations, the aesthetics are in tune with an old mad scientist feel. System Schematic Main Tank The main tank is a 150 gallon Glass tank with custom wood stand and hood. Dimensions are 72.5″Long x 18.5″Deep x 28″ Tall. I drilled the back for two 1″ bulkheads for internal overflows. They are located on both sides of the tank in the rear. The hood is two separate pieces, designed to slide out to allow me to reach all the way down the tank. It also has doors that allow for quick feeding or access to the tank. If I need to take the hood down, All lighting and wiring can be easily disconnected. Making this a reef/cuttlefish tank requires some deviations from the typical reef setup. I have created a lot of shelf rock towers and structures to allow for a lot of varying degrees of lighting and shade. Sepia Bandensis live in reefs, but prefer lower levels of lighting. Many caves and shaded areas are available to them with my current setup. Rock design has always held a feeling of Zen to it for it will determine the water flow through the tank. My goal is to not only give shade and housing to the cuttles, but to do so by creating seamless paths for water flow. A path of least resistance will allow optimum flow efficiency to encourage all detritus to not settle and stay in the water column until it reaches the overflow to be filtered. Lighting consists of dual 250 watt metal halides with 14k bulbs. Six 39 watt T5s are also used. Four for supplementation and two as 10k. The metal halides are on for only 3 hours a day from 4pm – 7pm. 10k T5s are on from 9am-4:30pm and 7pm-9pm. The four supplemental T5s are on from 3:30pm-12:00pm. With this light schedule, the halides are on only for a short amount of time for the corals. Most of the day it is lit with only t5s. The 28″ depth of the tank also causes a drastic reduction in PAR the further down the tank you go. Temperature will range from 72-77 degrees which will make the cuttlefish more comfortable but slower growth rates in corals due to slower metabolism. Another deviation from modern reef systems is my inclusion of a home made wet dry system. I am using less then the typical live rock for biological filtration and with an animal that produces as much waste as the cuttlefish, I will need more filtration. As long as I keep the bio bale clean, I should not have any problems such as the nitrate buildup. For circulation, I am running a Ecotech Vortech pump. It huge amount of dispersed flow with the motor housing on the outside of the glass is perfect for a lower temperature tank. The flow from the vortechs are very complimentary to rockwork towers for it pulls and pushes water from all sides of the towers. To aid in random flow, I am using a Wavy Sea wave maker which alternates the water flow set to about 190 degree rotation. Sump The sump is made from a 30 gallon long glass tank with 5 acrylic baffles. The skimmer and return pumps are plumberd externally to reduce heat. All pumps are outside of the water column, so little heat is transfered. Equipment: -Aqua Euro Recirculating 365 Skimmer Later Upgraded to a Giant H&S Skimmer. -Pan World 50px-x Return Pump modified with external fan to run cooler. -Macro Algae for nutrient export lighted by a 120 watt equivalent flourescent daylight bulb set on a timer to come on at 11:00pm – 9:00am. The nightly schedule aids in reducing the PH drop that comes during the night. The refugium section is designed to tumble the macro algae without the use of any additional pumps. This allows for even light exposure. -Auto-Top Off system connected to a Typhoon III RO-DI unit and resevoir to fill any evaporated water and dose kalkwasser. An old laboratory Buchlar Polystaltic Pump is used for slow controlled dosing of the kalkwasser. -Custom made wet dry system with media/drip plate. This was made from a drawer system to allow easy access and cleaning. Baby Cuttle Nursery Wmpty with divider. The baby cuttle section is made from 1/4″ acrylic and is 20″Long x 12″Deep x 7″Tall. It has a small overflow that will drain to the wet dry sytem in the sump. The main return pump from the sump is T’ed off and controlled by a ball valve that feeds the baby cuttle section with water. A divider can be added to this section to safely divide the nursery in half. For eggs and newborn hatching, I have also created a removable breeding net style chamber. Filled with miracle mud with an egg tray on top left and custom made area for new borns on the top right. (The newborns are the small white dots!) RO/DI Resevoir – AutoTop Off Since Ive run out of room in the stand, I decided to make the auto top off resevoir look nice. A 20 Gallong tank, Buchlar Pump, and two float valves are all the functioning parts. Everything else was added for aesthetic purposed. The 20 Gallon tank has a custom made wood housing and framework. The buchlar pump was painted and placed on a custom made rotating mount that rests on top of the tank. The RODI unit is in my bathroom on the other side of my house. Tubing from the unit goes through the house and hits a T adaptor. From the T adaptor, one end will goto a float valve that sits in the sump, keeping the water level constant when evaporation occurs. The other end of the T adaptor goes to a on/off valve that then feeds to another float valve that sits in the 20 gallon reservoir. This will allow water to fill the 20 gallon to the top and automatically shut off. Once this is full, I shut the valve off that feeds the reservoir. I then place kalkwasser and any other additives to the water in the reservoir. This water is then pumped by the Buchlar pump at a rate of about 1 drop every 1.5 seconds 24 hours a day into the sump. Kalkwasser must be added slowly to the tank since its PH is very high. The amount of liquid being added to the sump from the reservoir is at a slower rate then the tanks evaporation rate, so anything that is left over is automatically filled by the rodi unit that feeds directly to the float valve in the sump. The 20 gallon reservoir lasts about 3 weeks until it needs to be refilled. ~ by Paradox009 on September 17, 2008. 3 Responses to “150 Gallon CuttleFarm Army Reef” wow awesome tank it really inspires me to get into the SW hobby. if you ever need another project come over to the FW planted tank style. im sure you’ll love the dutch style of planting

Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander (12-3) allowed six hits while striking out 10 across six scoreless innings in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Oakland Athletics. He returned on Saturday after being away from the team since July 7 due to a family issue. The 39-year-old cruised through six scoreless innings to earn his 12th win of the season. He threw 106 pitches, firing 73 for strikes. The veteran right-hander is third in the majors in both ERA and WHIP. Verlander heads into the All-Star break with a 1.89 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 108 strikeouts across 109 1/3 innings in 2022. 25 days ago Justin Verlander • SP • Astros Jul. 13th • 11:08 AM Justin Verlander Away From Team Due To Family Issue Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander isn't with the team in Anaheim this week due to a "family issue," according to skipper Dusty Baker. Verlander isn't scheduled to pitch again until the Astros return home this weekend to face the Oakland Athletics in a three-game series. Baker said "we hope so" when asked if Verlander would be back this weekend. The manager also said that the veteran right-hander probably won't appear in next week's All-Star game. The 39-year-old has a 2.00 ERA and leads the majors with 11 wins in his 16 starts, so he hasn't really slowed down at all in 2022. Fantasy managers need to have a backup plan this weekend in case Verlander doesn't make it back for a start against the A's to close out the first half of his season. 28 days ago Justin Verlander • SP • Astros Jun. 2nd • 9:03 PM Justin Verlander Still Effective At Age 39 Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander has enjoyed a terrific first 10 starts to the 2022 season after missing all of 2021 recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 39-year-old has returned with a 6-2 record, 2.23 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, seven quality starts, and 61 strikeouts across 64 2/3 innings. While the eight-time All-Star's velocity is strong at 94.8 MPH, he has seen regression in the strikeout department with an 8.5 k/9 rate - his lowest mark since 2015. The MLB Comeback Player of the Year favorite will look to take the mound early next week at home against the Seattle Mariners and continue his impressive return.

GMA - Vol 192 - Across The Abyss, Divine Disorder, Midvest, Moshnix, Shredhammer, Leather Phantom, Arkham, Cybernetic Witch Cult, Phear, Tharaphita 24/7/2015 0 Comments ACROSS THE ABYSS 'Silhouettes Of A Perfect World' EQUATORIAL STORM Whilst Oriental Metal may not exactly be new, with the likes of ChthoniC, Melechesh and Orphaned Land leading it, searching further down the line you will find a new cluster of bands to step into the breach. One such band is Across The Abyss, of whose debut album 'Silhouettes Of A Perfect World' ticks all of the boxes that guarantees itself as a successful release, one that metalheads worldwide ought to tune into. Hailing from Singapore, this Polish-Singaporean contingent certainly have got a vision to make 'Far Eastern Oriental Metal' as distinguishable as possible through the eccentricity of the riffs used, the atmospherics developed and of course by mashing it with Symphonic Metal elements, keeping the traditional music sounds in-mind. Across The Abyss are flying the flag for the Singaporean Metal scene and are set to become the natural successors to fellow countrymen Impiety on the international circuit. Download This: "Lost Moon" - Click here to listen For Fans of: ChthoniC, Crescent Lament, Shangren [8.5] RHYS STEVENSON DIVINE DISORDER 'Garden Of Dystopia' INAZUMA PRODS. The debut album by Divine Disorder cannot remain unnoticed by the masses, simply because their ferocious combination of Progressive Metal and Symphonic Death Metal delivers a tantalizingly brutal onslaught that epitomizes the Middle Eastern Metal scene and gives hope for the smaller nations in said region. 'Garden Of Dystopia' is a juicy 60-odd minute adventure that takes listeners on a journey through cascading riff velocities, Arabic-like atmospherics and dynamics so fluid, the River Jordan would develop jealously traits at the mere sound of it. Fluctuating through various speeds across eleven tracks, Divine Disorder have positioned themselves perfectly to become the finest metal band Kuwait has ever seen, and in doing so gives them automatic right to fly the flag for the Kuwaiti Metal scene. They are destined to achieve big things, watch this band very closely. Download This: "The Puppeteer" - Click here to listen For Fans of: Fleshgod Apocalypse, Gojira, Septicflesh [8.5] RHYS STEVENSON MIDVEST 'Reinkarnation' INDEPENDENT Two worlds collide when the majestic darkness of Symphonic Black Metal comes crashing into the visual representation of Steampunk. This pretty much sums up Midvest, the German five-piece who released their premier EP this year. Singing exclusively in their native German language, this gloomy industrial-like production really crafts a well-constructed atmosphere that absorbs your soul into a deep and darkened paralysis. Whilst there is considerable comparisons evidently present on the EP, meaning the sound is nothing new, does not disregard the EP as a decent release. Sure the vocals need a bit of work in terms of clarity, but the dramatic characteristics exhibited give the release that welcomed feeling of potential success on the European Black Metal circuit. Midvest in fact have brought a new metal sub-genre to the table, welcome to the dawn of 'Steampunk Black Metal' Download This: "Reinkarnation" - Click here to listen For Fans of: Dimmu Borgir, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed for Nothing, Carach Angren [8] RHYS STEVENSON MOSHNIX 'Black Monk' INDEPENDENT Sad to say it seems that Moshnix have fallen into the trap of delivering a generic Thrash Metal release, sure it holds promise for the Swedish newbies, but it lacks that killer edge that otherwise would give them the edge to reclaim the Thrash Metal crown for Sweden. 'Black Monk' is the band's premier EP and for those brave enough to check it out, some will turn it off quicker than the first riff played on the release. That said, by bringing in Heavy Metal influences on 'Kill Her Quick', the band may have just saved themselves the embarrassment of going through a whole EP of delivering the same old same old Thrash most bands seem to be pummeling out these days. Despite all their last-shot might, 'Black Monk' is a flash in the pan and is a disappointing release. Time to put the kettle on and take a break. Download This: "Black Monk" - Click here to listen For Fans of: 'Thrash Metal' [6] RHYS STEVENSON WINTERHEART 'Facing What I'm Becoming' INDEPENDENT Black Metal in Hungary has a rather rich heritage and so when new bands emerge on the scene, there is a certain amount of expectation riding on them. One band who knows about this is Winterheart, as their second album 'Facing What I'm Becoming' delivers a raw and depressive slice of Black Metal that would dampen anyone's mood. Whilst the bass drum has too much presence, the fuzziness of the riffs fill in the void and couple with the raspy vocals, give the release a good platform to stand on. Granted its not the best release, but what more can you expect from an underground band? Despite the said negativity, 'Facing What I'm Becoming' features 8 tracks which equate to 49 minutes-worth of listening. Certainly its an album for the die-hard Black Metal collectors, but for the average metalhead who peers over various sub-genres, it would be seen as a disappointment. Download This: "And Finally... I Just Hate Myself" - Click here to listen For fans of: Underground Black Metal, Raw Black Metal [6.5] RHYS STEVENSON LEATHER PHANTOM 'Electric Leather Land' INDEPENDENT Bringing a brighter side to Thrash Metal, is Germany's Leather Phantom with their premier EP 'Electric Leather Land' released last year. Whilst not as conventionally fast as most Thrash Metal releases, the band instead adds funk and Heavy Metal elements to it, giving the EP a rather unique sound. Not partially because of the sonic keyboard sounds included, but also because they've clearly taken the time to endow in creating their own signature sound, which is what some bands tend to fall short at these days. 'Electric Leather Land' may only be a shot in the dark for this German quartet, but for the underground it is pretty damn good. If you're seeking new music to check out that defies the rules and challenges taboo when it comes to Thrash Metal, then you've found your band. Bring on their debut album. Download This: "Urgent Needs" - Click here to listen For Fans of: Evile, Guns 'N' Roses, Machine Head [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON ARKHAM 'Weapons Of Mass Destruction' INDEPENDENT Over a decade has passed since the inception of Arkham to when their premier release dropped, which seems too long to wait, but boy was it worth it. Despite the immensely long wait, their debut EP 'Weapons Of Mass Destruction' is a good solid example of Heavy Thrash Metal at it's finest. The Spanish quintet have made a good job of making their first release one to capture a lot of attention, whilst also giving themselves and immediate platform to perhaps launch their one and possibly only album (referring to the years lost - 13). None the less the EP does offer listeners a good experience through some rather heavy yet monstrous riffs, coalescing with sharp vocals and thick bass playing alongside solid drumming. They may be a flash in the pan, but they are certainly a good one. Download This: "Full EP" - Click here to listen to the full EP For Fans of: Slayer, Municipal Waste, 'Heavy Thrash Metal' [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON CYBERNETIC WITCH CULT 'Morlock Rock' INDEPENDENT Despite the band name sounding like another way of describing a robotic army of wicked witches, the Cybernetic Witch Cult is a Stoner Metal trio with enough oomph in their bones to raise the dead nationwide. Psychedelic with every second passing by, this trio's debut album 'Morlock Rock' comes loaded with funky, bluesy riffs and happiness as you light a spliff to 'chillax' to this epic record. In fact it would be so apt if the Cybernetic Witch Cult did the score for a ghost-horror film along the likes of The Sixth Sense or Paranormal Activity, because the music exhibited on their debut album is of that guild, that is, it sends chills down your spine whilst enthralling your senses with a musical concoction that makes Stoner Metal what it is. 'Morlock Rock' should be in anyone's collection because of its sheer beauty, as for the English trio, they have a bright future ahead and so keep an eye on them. Download This: "Tyrannosaurus Hex" - Click here to listen For Fans of: Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, Ghost [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON PHEAR 'Insanitarium' INDEPENDENT Could this be the most exciting Heavy Metal band to emerge out of Canada since Kobra & The Lotus stormed the globe? Phear's debut album 'Insanitarium' not only boasts a plethora of sensational guest musicians, but also the music to give them international attention on an unprecedented level. With the likes of Glen Drover (Megadeth, Testament) and Bjorn 'Speed' Strid (Soilwork) offering their services alongside fellow Canadians Jon Howard, Travis Montgomery (both Threat Signal) and Rick its ferocious power. 'Insanitarium' is without a doubt the Ontario-based band's finest hour, knowing that they will capitalize on this moment and with their infectious vocals, gnarly riffs and all-round sexy musical persona present, will bode them well in times ahead upon new releases and sequential ventures. Download This: "Don't Scream" - Click here to listen For Fans of: Iron Maiden, Testament, Megadeth [8] RHYS STEVENSON THARAPHITA 'Ülestõus' VAARANG With their name deriving from the god of thunder 'Taarapita' in Estonian mythology, Tharaphita are a Pagan Black Metal band from the Rakvere / Tallinn area. Celebrating 20 years activity this year, their fifth full-length album pays homage to the bands successful and lengthy career in the underground metal world. 'Ülestõus' sees the quintet stick to singing in their native Estonian and by doing so, continues to drag in traditional values as well as the fabled Baltic Paganism. But the language barrier has never been an issue for most Estonian bands, sure some sing in English, but fellow countrymen Metsatöll sing in Estonian and so it just goes to show singing in your own language can have its positives. As for 'Ülestõus', the album itself is sheer beauty in terms of its level of creativity and diversity, what Tharaphita have done here is created a work of art that in no doubt will stand the test of time and enthrall future Pagan and Black metal newbies.

Today, China produces 18% of the world’s cereal grains, 29% of the world’s meat, and 50% of the world’s vegetables. China is the world’s largest agricultural economy, and it ranks as the largest global producer of pork, wheat, rice, tea, cotton, and fish The value of China’s agricultural output is twice the U.S. total. China dramatically increased its trade dependence in agriculture, and it is currently the fifth largest exporter and fourth largest importer of agricultural products in the world. China’s substantial increase in fruit and vegetable production was a major factor behind its agricultural export growth. China is the world’s largest importer of soybeans and cotton, accounting for 60% of global soybean imports and 40% of cotton imports. China’s chemical fertilizer use has roughly doubled over the past two decades while pesticide use and mechanized inputs have increased even faster. China has slightly less agricultural land than the United States, but its chemical fertilizer use is now double that of the United States. China uses about one-third of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer and 31% of phosphate fertilizer on its 9% share of the world’s agricultural land. Unfortunately, the strong growth in chemical input use has resulted in considerable agricultural pollution.

Last month I did the 31 Days of Terror Challenge where I comprised a list of horror films to watch for every day in October. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to follow the list either because the movie was no longer streaming or because I needed to watch a film for PaleoCheeze Podcast or because of those godawful Amityville movies with author/podcaster Jason Brant. That being said, I did watch at least one horror film per day, totaling 33 films in all. Here's my top best and worst of the month (featuring only films I hadn't seen before).

Whether Arsene Wenger manages to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title or not at the end of this season, the chances are that the fans will be hoping and demanding that the boss does what he has not done in the last couple of transfer windows and spend some serious amounts of money to sign some top class players. If we win the league then people will say that we have to make the most of being in pot one for the Champions League and make some transfers to really give Europe a good go. If we fail to win the EPL then fans will say this proves that the squad is not good enough and needs an overhaul. Ask the Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal, however, and Wenger will get a much different point of view, as Metro has reported the left back’s opinion that his manager has been doing the right thing by not doing too much in the transfer market. Instead Monreal feels that keeping a close knit and compact squad has actually made Arsenal stronger. He said, ‘It is very important the atmosphere in the dressing room. ‘It is mandatory to have a really good relationship with your team-mates. We are like a unit. You play like a unit and you spend a lot of time with them. ‘I can see now there is only one group. We are together and in every moment the atmosphere is amazing – this is very important to get trophies. ‘If you want to win something it is necessary to have a good group. ‘In the last few years we have played with the same players. ‘Every summer, we have signed one, two or a maximum of three players. The team is practically the same group so that is very important.’ Do you agree with the Spaniard? And which players would you like to see the boss go for at the end of the current season?

The Senedd’s Equality and Social Justice Committee will shortly undertake an inquiry into how the pandemic has impacted childcare and parental employment, focussing on the barriers that childcare provision can present for parents, particularly women, entering and progressing in the labour market. Invitation to contribute to the inquiry The Committee would like to invite you to submit written evidence to assist in its consideration of the inquiry. In responding to the consultation, it would be helpful to have your comments in response to the terms of reference below: The extent to which current childcare provision in Wales sufficiently supports parents, particularly mothers, to enter, remain and progress in employment, and what changes might be needed to improve the effectiveness of childcare provision in doing this. What impact the Childcare Offer in particular has had in achieving the Welsh Government’s objective of “helping parents, particularly mothers, to return to work or increase the hours they work”. The impact of limited childcare availability on Wales’ productivity levels. How childcare arrangements have affected parental employment during the coronavirus pandemic, particularly in relation to mothers. What lessons might be applied to provide better support during any future lockdowns or increased restrictions. Whether Welsh Government-funded childcare provision is flexible enough to support employment of parents, particularly mothers, in different demographic groups and experiencing different circumstances. The impact of high-quality formal childcare provision on reducing the attainment gap, and the potential benefits of extending childcare provision to tackle inequalities. What Wales can learn from other models of childcare provision operating in the rest of the UK and internationally and emerging practice in terms of supporting parental employment, and the extent to which these models might be transferrable to the Welsh context. How financial and practical implications such as availability of childcare would need to be considered by the Welsh Government in any future policy developments to extend childcare provision. Submissions should arrive bySunday 14 November 2021. If you wish to submit evidence, please send an electronic copy of your submission to: Guidance Submissions should be no longer than five sides of A4, with numbered paragraphs, and should focus on the terms of reference.

It has been 50 years since scientists first created DNA in a test tube, stitching ordinary chemical ingredients together to make life’s most extraordinary molecule. Until recently, however, even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA — an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for example, to help the plants ward off insects or tolerate drought. Now researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA. “This raises a range of big questions about what nature is and what it could be,” said Paul Rabinow, an anthropologist at the University of California at Berkeley who studies science’s effects on society. “Evolutionary processes are no longer seen as sacred or inviolable. People in labs are figuring them out so they can improve upon them for different purposes.” Paul Rabinow, Ph.D. is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley. His work has consistently centered on modernity as a problem: problem for those seeking to live with its diverse forms, a problem for those seeking to advance or resist modern projects of power and knowledge. This work has ranged from descendants of a Moroccan saint coping with the changes wrought by colonial and post-colonial regimes, to the wide array of knowledges and power relations entailed in the great assemblage of social planning in France, to his work of the last decade on molecular biology and genomics. Paul now calls this approach an anthropology of reason. Anthropos + logos. Who are the humans at issue and what knowledges constitute them and help them to understand themselves and their environments? His current research centers on developments in post-genomics and molecular diagnostics. It seeks to invent an analytic framework to understand the issues of bio-politics and bio-security. A related research interest is the contemporary moral terrain with special attention to “affect”. Paul authored Marking Time: On the Anthropology of the Contemporary, Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco, French Modern: Norms and Forms of the Social Environment, French DNA: Trouble in Purgatory, Making PCR: A Story of Biotechnology, Essays on the Anthropology of Reason, Anthropos Today: Reflections on Modern Equipment, and Symbolic Domination: Cultural Form and Historical Change in Morocco, coauthored A Machine to Make a Future: Biotech Chronicles and Michel Foucault: Beyond Structuralism and Hermeneutics, edited The Foucault Reader, and coedited Interpretive Social Science: A Second Look, The Essential Foucault, and Rethinking the Subject: An Anthology of Contemporary European Social Thought. Read the full list of his publications! He was named “Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French Government in 1998. He received the University of Chicago Alumni Association Professional Achievement Award in 2000. He was awarded the visiting Chaire Internationale de Recherche Blaise Pascal at the École Normale Supérieure for 2001–2. He was named STICERD Distinguished Visiting Professor at the BIOS Centre for the study of Bioscience, Biomedicine, Biotechnology and Society, London School of Economics in 2004. Paul earned his B.A. in 1965, his M.A. in 1967, and Ph.D. in 1970, all in anthropology from the University of Chicago.

The actual word 'horoscope' is derived from the Latin combination of two words in which 'Horo' means hour and 'Scope' means view, so it is a 'view of the hour.' Horoscope can be defined as the astrological chart of a person or a moment in time, which is calculated from the planetary positions in either the sidereal or tropical Zodiac. The calculations used are based on the date, place and time of birth. That's why a horoscope is so personal, like a fingerprint. Many people think that the horoscope writes our destiny in stone. Not so! It shows potentials...how we use those potentials is our personal prerogative. What the horoscope can offer is insight and awareness about these potentials and their uses. 3) I am not sure about my time of birth. What should I do? You will have to go for BTR ie Birth time rectification. There is a special technique in Vedic Astrology to determine and clarify the unknown time of birth. For this we need to know some important events from your life with the dates of them. If we go back on the line of the known events in a person’s life, we can refine the time of birth. After receiving your events with dates, we may ask some more specific questions, and then after a number of calculations, your time of birth will be deduced. (Since this requires a lot of work, extra charges will be incurred) 4) What is the difference between Sun sign and Moon sign? The sign (rasi) where the Sun is located at your time of birth is called Sun sign. The sign where the Moon is located at the time of your birth is called Moon sign. 5) How does Astrology justify the diversities in twins? Because twins are born at the same day and time, their horoscopes would be same. Thus the influence of planets and stars will be same on them. But there would be difference in the quantity of the influence received by each of the twins. The individual capacity of receiving the cosmic energy varies from person to person depending on other factors like their actions in the previous birth and their exposure to present social conditions.. If we try to understand the core of it, we notice that the twins divide the chart between them. Every horoscope contains several themes, archetypal figures, inner contradictions, etc. A child who is not born a twin will settle this within his or her own personality, choose to live some of these issues and keep others in the background. In the course of his/her life, some of the formerly unconscious issues will be developed and expressed. The different roles within the personality are all there as dispositions at the beginning of the child's life but will be developed at different times. For twins, this is different. They 'divide' the chart between them early in life. If they live and grow up together, they cannot both enact the same roles which are part of both their personalities but tend to choose different roles. This is why their divisional charts ( D-60 precisely) vary. But since their main birth chart is the same, there are similarities in the time events and core personality traits of both. 6) How gemstones influence our fate? How can I know which gemstone is suited for me? Gemstones increase the flow of energy related to a particular planet into our body. So the problems related to that planet can be alleviated by wearing a gemstone. All the Gemstones work on the principle of absorption and transmission of some particular wavelengths which belong to some particular planet. For example a Ruby (Manik) will absorb and transmit Sun's particular energy to the body of the wearer. Same applies to other planets. Only after reading your chart in detail, a gemstone can be prescribed to you. Some people wear gem stones depending on their birth star, moon sign or sun sign or just for fun, which is a wrong practice and can be very dangerous. An Astrologer can prescribe a suitable gemstone for you only after complete analysis of your horoscope. 7) Where can I purchase Gemstones from? You can purchase the gemstones prescribed to you from our office address: 320, Aggarwal Tower, H-6 Netaji Subhash Place, Opp. Wazirpur depot, New Delhi-110034 (Timings: 11:30 am to 5: 30 pm) 8) After I register on AstroVedicLuck, in how much time will I get the response? Once your registration is confirmed, we will start working on your queries and you will get a reply within 2-3 working days. 9) What is Horary Astrology? Horary astrology is a method of answering specific questions with a horoscope cast for the moment of the question. It is mostly helpful for those who do not have their birth details with them, as it takes into account not the time of birth, but the time of question. 10) How do the Horoscopes that I read in the Newspaper or Magazines fit into this all? Newspaper and magazine Astrology columns practice "Sun Sign Astrology." Thus the predictions are very general and not personal. All the people born within the same sun sign (ie the same month) cannot have the same life patterns or character traits. And this is where the newspaper astrology falls flat. Vedic Astrology or Indian astrology is precise to the minute of the individual's birth. Its basics rely on the fact that each individual has a completely unique birth chart, and each individual will respond to that chart personally. 11) What should be the format of sending am email to you? Below are some dos and don'ts Dos a) The email should have complete and correct birth details. b) The areas of concern should be pointed out in brief. c) Keep the email short and crisp. Don'ts a) Long stories should be avoided. b) Your past experiences on your chart with astrologers should not be mentioned. c) An astrological background does not entitle you to a discussion on the astrological technicalities of your chart. You will be told only what is required. 12) Can I avail some discount if I wish to continue with your service for a long duration, like 6 months or an year? Yes we have many clients going for the same. We have special packages for them. You can get this information on the Consultation page.

To honor the trailblazers, Holler – a self-described conversational media studio and tech messaging company – has created animated commemorative stamps of historical women for people to use in their message. Led and designed by the female talent on the Holler Studios team, the stickers serve to encourage conversation around these accomplished women and were inspired by commemorative stamps that allow users to send a little piece of history embodied in art along with their message. To support the next generation of women leaders, Holler is teaming up with Girls Who Code, an organization seeking to close the gender gap in tech. Every time a Women’s History Month sticker is used via the Holler App or one of their partner platforms, Holler will donate to Girls Who Code programs. Creative credits for the stamps include Senior Animation Director Michelle Porucznik, Associate Animation Director Lillian Xie, and Production Manager Hannah Middlekauf.

Whenever you are having any type of renovations or remodeling work performed, give us a call and allow us to evaluate your roof insulation. Insulation, just like ventilation, is very important to your roof. It helps to keep your home cool and comfortable. If you have insulation but it has not been properly installed, you will not receive the benefits that it offers. You'll notice a higher than usual energy bill when you do not have adequate insulation. There are a variety of insulation types that we offer, which we are sure will be suited to your needs. Types of Insulation There are generally four types of insulation categories, they include the following: • Loose-fill/blown – One of the most commonly used loose-fill insulation is fiberglass/mineral wood and cellulose. The cellulose insulation is made from newspaper, treated with fire retardant material. • Rigid foam board – We often use this type of insulation for a variety of purposes, such as air barrier, exterior sheathing, structural strength, and thermal break. • Fiberglass batt – This is a form of fiberglass insulation.

Scarcely any families are in as great a situation as self-taught students to add to their networks. Tragically, people group administration does not generally rank profoundly on many self-taught students’ plans. We are overwhelmed by worry regarding which educational program to utilize, what showing techniques are ideal or testing; we are focused on fights genuine or saw with our educational committees; we are caught up with being social chiefs, helping our children pick workmanship, music and dance classes, or sorting out field trips. Nowadays, self-taught students can become bit as occupied with school random data as state funded school families who are hurrying to PTSA gatherings, shipping children to soccer and Youth baseball training and obsessing about schoolwork. I might want to recommend that disregard a crucial part of home instruction assuming we become excessively self-consumed. We are ignoring and regularly dismissing the very networks wherein we are advantaged to refine our picked ways of life. As self-teaching has become (regardless) more standard, our inclinations will generally limit in like manner. Self-teach is less regularly a social proclamation any longer, than just a normal other option, similar to private or parochial school, or a contract or magnet school. In truth, that is an extraordinary achievement and it is great that we are no more (or maybe just once in a long while) considered social untouchables. And yet, that soul of excitement, that drive for civil rights, that fire of obligation to a higher ideal has been to some degree suppressed by acknowledgment and comfort. Furthermore that is not something to be thankful for. I accept that there’s a significant instructive subject that we follow this link want to infuse into our self-teach plan, and that is Social Activity. Or on the other hand in any event, Social Interest. Have a go at giving your children a field stumbles into this present reality. Visit a soup kitchen, a destitute haven or simply stroll along a city road and examine what you see. Is there waste on the walkway? Should not something be said about the person with the bicycle and the sack brimming with clothes or metal jars? Visit a nursing home not during special times of year, but rather during some dark day in the late spring- and talk about the older in your own family. I’m not going to recommend there’s any fix for social ills, or to wander my own viewpoint about friendly unfairness and disregard and misuse. That is something I do secretly with my own family. In any case, it is something you can do with yours, as well.

Junqueras, Romeva and Bassa present their appeal denouncing a case against the whole independence movement Quim Bertomeu 2 min Clara Serra, Andreu Van den Eynde, Oriol Junqueras, Dolors Bassa and Raül Romeva on Wednesday. David Zorrakino / Europa Press Llegir en Català Leer en castellano BarcelonaThe European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), based in Strasbourg, has now received appeals from all the political leaders the Spanish Supreme Court imprisoned over the 2017 Independence referendum. This Wednesday the last three were submitted Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) president and former Catalan vice-president Oriol Junqueras and former Catalan ministers Raül Romeva and Dolors Bassa. Now it is time to wait for the verdict. The appellants' legal team explained that all the appeals are expected to be grouped together into a single macro-case, and they reckon it will take "at least" two years to know the final outcome. In their lawsuit, Junqueras, Romeva and Bassa denounce the violation of up to eight rights, but above all they want the case to transcend their personal situation and widen the scope to a broad case against the entire "pro-independence political movement". What the three appellants are seeking is a favourable sentence that backs the whole movement and, in particular, those who are still waiting to be tried. This is what their lawyer, Andreu van den Eynde, has expressed: "We not only want violations of rights to be repaired, but we want the case to be understood as a political case and we urge global solutions". How will they do it? By trying to convince the court that in the trial of the independence bid leaders in the Supreme Court "all the law was distorted to pursue not certain criminal acts, but certain people" with a certain ideology. Apart from the political complaint, the appeal includes violations of the principle of legality; the right to freedom; freedom of expression; freedom of assembly and demonstration; the right to a fair trial; the right to presumption of innocence; the prohibition of abuse of power and the right to free elections. According to Bassa, the feeling she always had was that they were seeking her to be "politically silenced". Romeva summarised everyone's desire: "That we may find at a European level the justice we have not found in the Spanish state". For and one against Convicts can appeal to European courts when they have exhausted al their resources in Spain. In this case, this happened last March, when the Constitutional Court dismissed their appeal. However, there were three dissenting votes on this ruling. This will be one of the cards the appellants will play. "A third of the Constitutional Court that agrees with us," Van den Eynde recalled. But some elements will play against them, such as the hypothesis that the ECHR may understand that, with the subsequent pardons, the convicted have already received a reparation. On this point Junqueras protested. He recalled that, despite the measure of grace, his 13-year ban not only from institutional politics but also from "teaching at the university" (Junqueras worked as a lecturer) is still in place. "There is a general case," he concluded. This is precisely what they will try to make the ECHR understand.

Building a brand experience that children can identify with and, importantly, want to associate with is a huge challenge.

Are you trying to break into the cybersecurity world and build a career as a cyber threat intelligence analyst? Or are you perhaps a company looking for expert analysts to secure your company? Whichever shoe you fit, there are certain skills an analyst needs to acquire if one wants to excel in a cybersecurity role. In this article, we’ll talk about the characteristics that companies hiring for cyber threat intelligence analysts are looking for. 1. The Analyst Can Communicate Well Communication is a skill that companies value greatly. Security teams frequently communicate, quickly sharing information and data about new threats and challenges. This promotes an environment that facilitates innovation of new solutions to combat digital threats targeted at corporations large and small. An analyst who does not communicate well will only hurt the company’s ability to fight off these threats, putting the business at risk of significant losses. In other words, only the best analysts promise the use of quick and effective communication tactics to communicate with their teams to stay on top of any ongoing threats. To add to this, a good analyst will also know how to communicate all the technical jargon into something that anyone—especially stakeholders—can understand. 2. The Analyst Is Technically Proficient Being proficient at being a cyber threat intelligence is a no-brainer characteristic every analyst must have. After all, that’s what being an analyst for such a job means! However, not all are aware of what it takes to be proficient at the job. For instance, some analysts may not be proficient at coding, while other analysts may not be proficient at managing systems. However, these two skills are a must-have, such as understanding attack methodologies, implementing incident response technology, setting up security applications, and more. In other words, there are many things an analyst must be an expert of, and for companies, hiring a good analyst simply means access to these necessary skills to keep the business safe and secure. 3. The Analyst Can Understand How Cyber Attacks Begin What separates decent analysts from the truly good ones is the ability to understand the entire scenario from the attacker’s view. Knowing how the attackers will invade a business’ network is key to knowing what kind of security implementations should be set up to stop said attacks from ever occurring. Identifying attacks can be everything from looking at trends, identifying patterns, and learning new, emerging threats. A cyber threat intelligence analyst will also have knowledge of the tools, technology, and methods that attackers will use to invade a company. As such, companies are always on the lookout for analysts who can see from the attacker’s eyes to ensure the business is as safe as it can be. All in all, whether you’re an IT specialist looking to become a cyber threat intelligence analyst or a company looking to hire expert analysts for the job, the above are all signs of a great professional. Ensuring that such skills are acquired is a must to be successful at combating the various threats the digital world has. It will also go a long way in securing one’s position as an analyst and securing the company’s security and success for the long term. FraudWatch is a leading online brand protection company and has been protecting companies around the globe since 2003. If you are looking for expert brand protection that have all the skills discussed above, work with us today!

MAFI started as the Oriental Karate Association in the early 1970s teaching Shotokan Karate only with our president Hanshi Hassan Dilaimi 9th DAN which then progressed on to becoming the Martial Arts Federation Great Britain. Subsequently MAFI was established alongside our other goals to accomodate the every growing number of clubs both nationally and internationally. MAFI is affiliated with WUKF and several international bodies, this gives our members the opportunity to access European, World Cup and World championships. We seek to encourage independent martial arts clubs to progress in providing a good standard of martial arts and provide managerial assistance, we are open to all types of clubs and associations to join us both nationally and internationally to access the benefits provided by their countries MAFI recognised national governing body. MAFI established its first national governing body in Great Britain named as MAFI-GB, we believe Martial Arts in Europe and some continents are not supported well by their structures, this leads to students and instructors losing interest in the art and not considering Martial Arts as a career. We do not focus to regulate organisations but only to guide and advise them as we believe every member to be unique. Karate is a specialist field we operate in, our team have worked with many members and associations in this style for several years, though our mulitude of styles grows every year.

There is not necessary you to know how to do a center deal, though in parts of some of this routines you'll need to know some techniques. References and links are included, even alternative handling. In addition, in this ebook are included for the first time in deep explanations of some original techniques like: A multiple card control in table, without disorder the deck (although the impression is that the deck is genuinely shuffled and cut). A new method to stack any number of cards for any players: spectator put the four aces face up anywhere in the face down deck, he squares. Without shuffling, or apparently moving any card, the magician is able to deal the four aces to a player in a game. You can use these techniques and other ideas and presentations of the book in other routines of your own. Also, you can perform each of the phases separately. About the routines: Only one deck is used. The deck is shuffled by spectators, no setup is requiered. There is no added cards, or gimmicks, or anything else. You can ask for a shuffled deck and perform this demonstration at a moment notice. You can perform it surrounded: there is no lapping, or deck switches, etc. The routines: "My favorite cards": spectator shuffles the deck. The four of a kind that the spectator chooses transform in the four aces. "Dealing the aces (with surprise)": a poker demonstration. "Locating and estimating": the magician shows how gamblers can know the exact position of the cards while shuffling. This way the artist can locate the four aces one by one. "The center deal": the magician explains what is a center deal, after that spectator lost the four aces face up in the face down deck and squares. Without shuffling, the magician deal five hands, with the aces appearing face up, apparently from the middle of the deck, each time he deals in his own hand. In this demonstration there is no shuffles or cuts. The stack method explained here is something you are going to add immediately to your repertory. Experts like Juan Tamariz or Dani DaOrtiz have praised the simplicity and fairness of it. That alone is worth the price of the book.

Ouch! More pullups, pushups and Overhead Squats! My shoulders are dead this morning! Feels good though! 🙂 Only one WOD this morning: 25 Minute AMRAP (Yes, 25 Minutes) 5 Chest To Bar Pull Ups 12 Push Ups (Hands Off Deck) 15 Overhead Squats (115lbs) As you know, I’ve been scaling the OH Squats down to 95lbs. because 115 is just too heavy for me to get through a workout. Today was no different. 95lbs. on the OH Squat. Everything else was legit. Chest to Bar every time on the pullups. I was pretty happy with that. I got in 7 rounds, 5 Pull Ups, 12 Push Ups, and 1 Overhead Squat. Not too bad I don’t think considering all the work I’ve done this week. It’s been a hard week of training. I’m ready to eat a pizza or something. 🙂 I’m supposed to run 8 miles after work today, but I might push that off until Saturday morning depending on what goes on with the Family tonight. Alright! Now it’s time to catch up on what all of my internet athlete friends are up to! Yay! First, Chris Moore at The Chris Moore Blog reminds us of the important things we should be thinking of when we are at the gym with his latest post, What Really Matters. Hint: It’s not your Lulu Lemon Shorts… McG just continues to rage on… I love reading his training log. The stuff he can do is pretty awesome. Watch him row a 2k PR here if you want… 🙂 Over at FitR.TV, we have two new episodes of Barbell Shrugged, as well as a new TechniqueWOD!! Awesome! The first Barbell Shrugged is How to choose your CrossFit gym, Pose Running + OPT w/ James Taylor: The second episode is CrossFit and Swimming. Techniques, Drills, and Competitions – Lucas Ferreria & Mike McGoldrick: Then, over at TechniqueWOD w/ Doug Larson we have “How to Kip with More Speed and Power and Scaling” I love these TechniqueWOD videos, they’re awesome. If you haven’t been keeping up with them, you should. Last, but certainly not least, our Friend Becky put up a blog post about “Risk.” She signed up for the Annie Oakley Super Sprint Tri “on a whim…” Having “not entered a pool for five years,” She ended up 8th in her age group! Guess how and where she’s been training though? That’s right, Crossfit at Faction Strength and Conditioning! Go, Becky! You’re kicking ass, and can’t wait to see how much more awesome you get! Keep up the good work! Have a great weekend everyone, and I’ll let you know how my 8 mile run goes….

He was joined by Britain’s International Development Secretary Hilary Benn and top African Union mediators to negotiate an end to the three-year conflict devastating Sudan’s Darfur region. “This means the U.S. government really cares. … They can put pressure so that we can get better terms,” said Abdelrahman Musa Abakar, negotiator for one of the rebel factions. Zoellick said negotiations would continue on Wednesday, indicating that Tuesday’s midnight deadline would slip. “I will be here tomorrow (Wednesday), beyond that I don’t know,” he told reporters. On Sunday, rebels rejected an 85-page draft settlement that the Sudanese government had accepted earlier that day. As part of the proposed peace deal, the government would disarm the Janjaweed, a pro-government militia composed mainly of Arab tribes, incorporate rebel fighters into the country’s army, and provide millions of dollars to rebuild the region. “Despite all its shortcomings, this process has yielded a draft agreement which is the best the (rebel) movements will get ever,” said Alex de Waal, an adviser to the AU. However, the Sudanese Liberation Movement and the Justice and Equality Movement, the two rebel groups at the talks in Abuja, have said that the document does not go far enough to meet their concerns. Among their demands are the creation of a transitional authority for the region that would include rebel representatives and the inclusion of a third vice president from Darfur into the national government. Sudan’s current constitution only allows for two vice presidents. “It left out critical areas as far as power sharing and the status of Darfur region. But I am optimistic something could be achieved within the next 24 hours,” said Ahmed Tugod Lissan, chief negotiator for the JEM. However, Monday morning Vice President Ali Osman Taha, senior representative for the Sudanese government, left Abuja and returned the Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, making diplomats worried that another deadline would not be met. The conflict in Darfur began in February 2003 when rebels from the region took up arms against the Sudanese government, which they saw as neglecting the impoverished region. Since 2003, more than 200,000 people have died and another 2 million have been forced to flee their homes into refugee camps or neighboring Chad. The U.S. Congress and former Secretary of State Colin Powell have declared the killing in Darfur as “genocide.” Current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has suggested that a U.N. force of 7,000 AU peacekeeping troops be deployed. The Sudanese government has said it may accept U.N. peacekeepers to help resolve the crisis in Darfur once an agreement is signed.

USC ISI's inaugural Publications Recognition Awards, which honor the achievements of ISI's most outstanding authors, debuted in late July this year. The Institute's quantum computing team ran away with the group honor, significantly outdistancing any other team. With just three people — Tameem Albash, Federico Spedalieri and Itai Hen — the quantum computing team published a total of 11 articles. Individual publishing honors also went to 15 researchers who authored articles in top journals. The awards: lunch at the restaurant of its choice, on ISI's tab, for the quantum group and bonuses of up to $1000 each for individual winners. The 2015 winners were announced by ISI Michael Keston Executive Director and Research Professor Prem Natarajan at the "What's Going On" breakfast seminar featuring Kristina Lerman and attended by roughly 40 ISIers. The annual awards probably will be announced in February in future years. Submitting groups aren't predetermined, but can structure themselves in teams ranging from three to 30 people, and are honored based on the number of publications per group. Individual awards are based on their number of publications and the caliber of journals in which articles appear. Yigal Arens headed the team that painstakingly plotted publications-and journals-per-author for each submission. Publication lists for the 2016 competition will be compiled in conjunction with the annual performance evaluations. Groups and individual authors will be recognized early in 2017.

The Mathematics and Numerics division (MathNum) of INRAE develops research in applied mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and information technology. Its teams conduct theoretical, methodological and applied research. They are deeply involved into interdisciplinary collaborations with teams from other INRAE divisions and from outside INRAE, thus dealing with a large diversity of data and modelling issues arising from microbiology, systems biology, genetics, population dynamics, and more generally with food, agriculture and environment sciences. Based on its 11 research units (in Paris-Saclay, Jouy-en-Josas, Evry, Rennes, Clermont-Ferrand, Toulouse, Montpellier and Avignon), the MathNum community comprises more than 350 people, including permanent staff (researchers, lecturer-researchers, engineers and technicians) and more than 160 PhD students, post-docs and other fixed-term-contract agents. Its collaborations and partnership encompass many institutes (Cirad, CNRS, Inria, Inserm, IRD, ...) and universities (Avignon, Clermont-Auvergne, Marseille, Montpellier, Rennes, Saclay, Toulouse ...) in France as well as in Europe and in the world. The priorities of MathNum in the coming years will deal with : the integration of heterogeneous, multi-source and multi-scale data modelling and simulating complex dynamic systems decision support and action based on real and simulated data.

Mark Twain said it best: “The 2 most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you found out why.” We all want the same thing- we want to be happy. We want to live a rewarding, fulfilling and stimulating life. Unfortunately, most people do not know why they were born and do not know what their true value and purpose is in this world. The most important job you will ever have in this world is to generate the proper attitude. The sooner you understand the reason you were born; the sooner you will live the life you want to be living. To live your best life, you have to know why you were born. It is impossible to achieve greatness if you do not believe in yourself and know your true worth. The reality is- most people do not even know what they are good at or even know what excites them or motivates them. You have to first know yourself and be honest with yourself to begin to live your best life. Good or bad, never be defensive to the truth. Truth be known, everyone was born with unique talents, skills and abilities. Do you know what yours are? Are you living your life aligned with your core values, talents and purpose? Based on my interactions with people, the majority of people are working in jobs they do not like and are actively disengaged or unfulfilled. They are falling well short of using all their unique talents and skills. Just like a buoy allows the water to bounce it around, we let life bounce us around. We let life direct us, rather than us direct life. At the Mortgage Talent Network, our coaches are trained to partner with you to help you identify, use and apply all your unique talents, skills and abilities. As Steve Jobs said, “the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” If you are not living a life full of passion and purpose, give us a call. Let us help you discover your passion and purpose to live your best life!

When we speak of a career path, a road may come to mind, or a map. Or maybe a list of progressive job descriptions that shows you how to make a clear vertical move and make more money. It’s clear. It’s simple. It just doesn’t reflect what most people experience. And if you’re feeling stuck in your career, it’s like being in a mud pit and someone chirpily saying “you know what you need, is a road!” How are you supposed to get to the road when you’re stuck in a giant mud pit??? Not to mention, those of us with change fatigue after the past year or two may find anything resembling a plan laughable, or exhausting to consider. These are just some of the reasons that people freeze up at the idea of building a career path for themselves. It feels unattainable from where they are, today. If this sounds like you, instead of identifying a career path, try writing your career story. By writing your career story, you capture who you are today and how your experiences have led you where you are. It is a common mistake to try to map out a path without really understanding where you are or how you got there, to begin with. How to Write Your Career Story Write your story in the third person, so you can literally and figuratively get out of your own head for a few minutes and see things from a different vantage point. You’re feeling stuck, after all, so feeding yourself the same lines from the past won’t help you here. Your career story should have all the elements of any good story: Character Development Tell us about our heroine. What qualities do we love and admire about her? What are her loveable flaws? What is her back story when it comes to career and work? For example, what did she learn about work and career from her parents? What was her first work experience like? What are her scars? What are her open wounds? What are her triumphs? Most of all, why are we rooting for our heroine? Plot Line Where is our heroine today? How does she feel about what she is doing right now? What daydreams keep coming back to her about work-life? What greatness is she on the brink of? What is holding her back? The Final Chapter Here is where it gets good!! Your career story, for purposes of this exercise, ends with “Five years later…”. What would be a satisfying ending to this story? (Don’t confuse this with a satisfying end to your career. And don’t confuse this with a five-year plan. Both of these are traps of heaviness that are part of why you freeze up at the thought of having a career path. Have fun with it and see what comes up.). What would be a satisfying end to this career story? What have been the triumphs? How has our heroine responded to setbacks? In this final chapter, your heroine is being recognized for her contributions. Pay attention to how you want her to be recognized, by whom, and for what. Ok, I’ve finished my story. Now what? Once your story is drafted, ask yourself what stands out to you. What are the patterns from your past, present, and future vision? What is your favorite part of the story? What parts of the story do you want to bring into your reality today? What parts of your story are you ready to let go of? And what will you do differently tomorrow, in honor of your story? If you don’t have a career path mapped out for yourself, never fear. Try writing and revising your career story, instead, and free yourself from the confines of a career path.

Yesterday I needed to go to the grocery store. Trevor wanted to go because he needed new shoes and he knows when I go "to the store" he might get something. Melissa also wanted to go along because she wanted to get a new bathing suit. I don't think I've bought her one in a few years and she's grown about three feet taller so it was about time. So we head off to town and decide to start with Penny's to look for a bathing suit. Penny's is in the mall so I knew we could get Trevor's shoes while we were there. Now my Melissa has the cutest little body. She just turned 13 and is probably about 5'8" or 5'9" tall now. She weighs about 125 pounds. AND she would be totally happy still shoppping in the little girls section but they just don't fit anymore :sad: So we get in the store and the only things they have are "women" type bathing suits with heavy padding or teeny tiny triangle bikinis. Oh and while she's looking Trevor has to go to the bathroom. Is it just my kid or does everyone else's kid have to go poop every time you are out shopping? I always feel so weird hanging out outside the bathroom waiting, waiting, waiting. I'm always opening the mens room door and asking if he's almost done. I'm sure the men in there love that. While I was waiting for him Melissa sent me a text that she was going to Target (also in the mall). Target was a bust, their stuff has been out since Christmas and is pretty picked over. Sears? Nothing. (hardly any of anything, that store is bare bones!) Macys had a few cute things but :cough: $88 just for the top? Ummm no. Inbetween all those stores we got Trevor a new pair of shoes. I realized that while we were walking through the mall that my son walks like a duck. He does not place his heel down on the ground when he walks but slaps his feet straight down. I guess 9 is a little late to teach him how to walk properly? Also while in Payless Shoe Source (which just happened to be the busiest store in the mall) I was trying to look for some shoes but this stupid woman was all up in my space. I gave up quick because I just couldn't enjoy the whole looking for shoes experience with her breathing down my neck. Holy crap back up!! Oh and I had to buy my son "mens" sized shoes. Same damn shoes as the kids but cost $10 more when you cross over to the other section. Which might be ok if they lasted more than two months tops. After we had went through Macy's I was starving so we stopped and ate in the food court. I was kind of craving the Japanese place and had them make me a dish with more veggies instead of rice. Pretty sure there was a bucket of oil on there but I only felt slightly nauseous after scarffing it all down. On the way out of the mall we stopped at the new reptile store. Yes, we have a reptile store in our mall. Full of huge snakes and iguanas and monitors and turtles! It's like a little zoo. But more scary. I'm pretty sure this store is not going to last long with a teeny tiny turtle going for almost $200. Last time I looked we didn't have have too many rich people that actually shop in our small mall. These guys acted like they wanted to play. Probably just wanted to bite though. So by this point it's after 6 and we still haven't hit the grocery store, but we go to my least favorite store in the world, Wal Mart. Wal Mart wouldn't be so bad if they weren't constantly remodeling it. NOW they are making it bigger, I'm guessing to make it a Super Wal Mart. Amazingly the first thing we saw when we walked in was the bathing suits. They had ONE that Melissa liked and it just so happened to be her size. Of course no matching bottoms but she found some that worked and only took about an hour to try them on. I'm sure it wasn't that long but when you have a 9 year old trying to talk you out of the last 3 cents in your wallet to throw down the starving children in china's bucket, every minute seems like a million. Finally she was done and it fit (woohoo) and we were off to the grocery store. Where they fought over him being on the end of the cart that she HAD to push for 90% of the trip. Remind me next time I have to go grocery shopping to just sneak out when no one is looking.

Tall is great...I am 5'8 and my daughter is 5'9 and she is so beautiful. I hope your gal has a good out look on how she look's,because it took me too long to accept being tall,because the rest of my family are short. Good self image, that's a must. Have a great weekend. Love,Debbie:) May 17, 2012 at 4:09 PM Ashley Urke | Domestic Fashionista said... oh man...laughing at your shopping fiasco...only because I have dealt with the same thing! I hate it when I get distracted and leave grocery shopping to the end...by then I have lost all my energy! May 17, 2012 at 4:32 PM Jill of All Trades said... Ah, shopping with the kiddos. For years there was an edict in my household that my girls were NOT allowed to go to the store with me. It was my getaway place. I actually walked out of a store, leaving the shopping cart when one of mine lost it. I warned her and followed up on the threat. That was the end of her shopping experience for a bit.

If I learned one thing in 2014, it’s that there are lessons to learn around every corner, from every person, every day. But I learned much more than one thing. I have piles of note scraps, memos on my phones, scribbles in the margins of every paper I can see, all of things I’ve learned this year. Now it’s time to gather them together and start sharing again. In the early days of 2015, I’ll be writing up what I’ve learned, and writing as I learn. I’ll also set out to learn how to overcome the obstacles to posting – mostly my desire to be away from the computer when I’m not working. I’ll have to figure that out. Perhaps you have some ideas? As always, I’d love to learn lessons from you! Happy 2015! Author janeslessonslearnedPosted on January 1, 2015 Categories UncategorizedLeave a comment on Lessons are Everywhere!

Its a hot topic for those of us who are citizens of the United States. Congress, the President, talk show hosts, movie stars, and even my very own barber have strong opinions about health care reform. So we at ReverbNation thought it the appropriate time to ask some of our Artists about their helth care situations and opinions. The following represents some of the data collected from a survey taken by a small, random sample of Artists who are US citizens (n=259). There was tremendous interest in this topic from the Artists we surveyed. Many of them filled several paragraphs in the open ended response we allowed at the end (responses not reported here). As a result of those empassioned responses, it is likely that we will expand the scope of the survey in terms of questions asked, questions reported to the public, and number of Artists surveyed in the near future. Stay tuned. I will post the follow up here at MTT if/when it becomes available. Do you think that health care coverage is a right you are entitled to as a citizen of the United States?

"Daffodils" is a wonderful poem gleaned by the pen of William Wordsworth, a great romantic poet that always found something in the company of Nature either for delight or even for nourishment of human soul. Wordsworth, as we all know him for, is considered the greatest romantic poet that used to describe Nature in its very essence and shape. Daffodils, a splendid manifestation of Natural beauty, not only astound but also enslave the thought pattern of the poet. Wordsworth relates that he had the craze of enjoying the company of Nature, so on one such occasion while he was roaming about a lake, he found a "host of golden daffodils". The daffodils were moving with the wind. They were growing besides a lake. And the setting of the scene inspired the poet to the extent that he was lost in the beauty and appealing fascination of the daffodils. Wordsworth then goes on to compare these dancing flowers, daffodils, to the twinkling stars that appear at night in, far in the Milky Way. Probably, he wishes to create a resemblance of the way the stars attract us and the impression of the daffodils on the poet's first sight. The poet was almost shocked to find such a wonderful host of daffodils as we are amazed to see numerous stars shining in the sky. The poet also wishes us to notice that the flowers' movement is no lesser beautiful than the twinkling of the stars that capture our sight. The clear white water of the lake appears to be the Milky Way whereas the number of stars a person can see in a sight is ten thousand so, there were daffodils in such a big number that the poet could say "ten thousand saw I at a glance". Wordsworth then goes on to compare those daffodils to the moving water and waves of the lake. He declares that the beauty of the dancing daffodils clearly eclipsed the beauty of entire Nature around them. The poet finds himself lucky to have viewed the scene:

The crocus buds had already been snapped off by birds. But Melanie refused to find any symbolism in this, reminding herself that it must be many years since Aunt Louisa last breathed in the start of an English spring. This was the time of year for Crete, in her aunt’s well-ordered life. And so it was in Crete that she had drawn her final breath. Melanie and her family had been there only twice, the house being continuously rented out to strangers during the school holidays. As she eased the back door into position and negotiated the locks, she admitted to herself, even on this of all days, that her maiden aunt’s lack of enthusiasm about Clemmie and Alice was something she had noticed and resented. Perhaps, she reasoned, catching sight of the kitchen clock and moving upstairs to check on the family’s readiness, that’s why she had felt taken aback, these past few days, by the labyrinthine weave of this grief that threaded its way inside her. She should, surely, have experienced pure sorrow, as she confronted the death of a woman who had been an important presence in her life – the woman who, having no children of her own, used to take an interest in what her young niece was up to, and in what she planned. Sometimes it struck Melanie that she must have become rather a disappointment to her aunt. For, after all, had not this pioneer, unlike her younger sister (Melanie’s mother), carved out her own career in a generation when most educated women taught for a few years and gave up when they got married? Melanie stopped half way up the stairs and closed her eyes. She could still see the hooded eyes narrowing, the lips tightening into a thin smile as her aunt received the news that her niece had passed the civil service exams. “Well done, Melanie. There you are! A career for life…” And she’d turned away back to the life she herself had chosen. It was one in which she had several times re-invented herself. Always emerging as something different, but never stopping long enough to take anyone with her on the journey. Perhaps it was a fear of commitment; it could be a kind of selfishness. Melanie told herself she was glad her own life had worked out differently. But she wished that her mourning could somehow be completely pure. She wished, indeed, that other people’s feelings could be more straightforward, too. For she had this nervous sense that today might not turn out quite as it should. She opened her eyes abruptly as the landing creaked under footsteps. Mark was coming down the stairs. His shoulder knocked against hers; his mobile was vibrating; now he spoke into it quietly, as though caressing a troubled infant. At the top of the stairs she almost tripped over the wash basket, from which sprawled an assortment of fresh-smelling, tumble-dried clothes – a pair of studiously ripped Miss Sixty jeans, a number of flimsy tank tops in assorted colours, several pairs of girls’ boxers and some tights which should never have ended up in the dryer. This receptacle, shaped like a Moses basket, was Clemmie’s version of a chest of drawers. Once more Melanie reminded herself that she must not, today of all days, allow the possibility of being upset. But it had been a shock, nonetheless, returning from abroad just a few days after hearing the news of her aunt’s death, to find that Clemmie had skulked home from the Pattersons’, where she was meant to be staying, and created such havoc that the cleaner would no doubt resign. Her knotting anger at high rise dirty crockery, peanut butter smeared like excrement on the worktop and assorted bus tickets, invitations to clubs and clothes labels (why had teenagers never learnt to use bins?) was tightened by a tug of guilt. She shouldn’t have gone away. It was for less than a week – staying in Tricia’s flat in Edinburgh – and she’d needed a break so badly; they wouldn’t, as a family, be going away over half term. So she’d gone; and Louisa had died. No, said her brother Patrick who’d telephoned with the news – no need to rush back; they had to fly the body back from Crete, after all; the British consul was being most helpful, but it wouldn’t happen straight away; not to worry – he’d be making the funeral arrangements; and please, could she say something about Louisa? Yes, he would be speaking too, of course. Straight from the heart and straight to the point. Nothing too long and fussy: Louisa wouldn’t have approved of that, would she? Feeling at the edge of something that was supposed to be important, a central rite of passage in her renunciation of those people grouped at the heart of childhood, she had to admit she felt cheated. Yes, it was this sense again that things weren’t quite working out as they should, and that today was, so far, unpromising. Mark had been away too; that’s why Clemmie had gone to stay with Olivia Patterson’s family, and Alice had been shunted – with no reluctance at all on her part (she was an easygoing little poppet) – to her best friend Jemima’s. But Mark, without doubt, had every reason to be absent. Unlike her, he was not going for pleasure; he did very little for pleasure these days, as far as she could tell. No, he’d had to go out to the Hong Kong office. He’d arrived home about an hour after her. Bending down to pick up the wash basket and take it through to her daughter’s bedroom, she wished now that she hadn’t mentioned to Mark the flight from the Pattersons’ and the poor state of the house. But she’d felt so let down by her daughter – at seventeen she really ought to know better – and she’d needed to share her disappointment. Mark was often reluctant to exert discipline; he wanted to be the hero in his daughters’ lives. Now the time had come for him to step forward and say something. She, Melanie, was in no fit state for such confrontations. She was in mourning. But her husband, as it happened, seemed spoiling for a fight with someone this morning. Melanie could tell. That gentle purring into his mobile just now – that masked some buried irritation – or perhaps, even, a sadness. Behind his lower lip, she had seen the teeth thrust forward. This neither surprised nor especially troubled her: she had grown accustomed to the ricochet of his moods, up and down, as though on a spring balance. It offended her a little that he seemed unable, even on the day of a funeral, to keep the spring pushed firmly down. But maybe, she reasoned, it had been difficult in Hong Kong; he hadn’t yet had a chance to recover from the flight; he’d had to change his plans, and he certainly was busy these days. When she’d told him over the phone the date of the funeral, his first reaction (callous, it’s true, but she was by now immune to this sort of thing) had been, “Oh”. Silence. Then, “I’ll have to re-arrange lunch.” Melanie hadn’t waited for anything else; she knew it wouldn’t come. She’d learned to expect very little of him, in certain areas of their lives. The birth of both daughters he’d almost missed, arriving at Alice’s from a meeting with a client just as his wife had reached the pushing stage. Fortunately for the midwife, the statutory torrent of abuse was therefore diverted towards him. But today, as she contemplated the other end of life’s corridor, as it were, she was surely in control of the situation. Today’s ritual did not include shouting and swearing. Decorous tears, restrained, elegiac: these befitted the funeral of Aunt Louisa. Shouting and swearing and the pain of childbirth. These were the kinds of things Louisa had been spared. Or rather, she’d spared herself. Melanie couldn’t help feeling that the solitary life had been, in her aunt’s case, the one she’d deliberately chosen. For nothing had seemed to happen to Louisa by accident. Every step was considered and rational, a piece in the overall plan she’d drawn up for her life. Except for death itself, of course. That, Melanie supposed, had taken the old lady by surprise – even though she was eighty-six and had been suffering for at least a year from a painful illness she hated to discuss. Death in a Greek hospital must have come as a slip-up – or, as Mark would say, an almighty cock-up. With a brief warning tap, she opened the door of her daughter’s bedroom. The curtains were still closed; the air was warm with sleep, sweet with make-up and perfume spray. Clemmie, in the black skirt she used to wear to school last year and a baggy sweat-shirt her mother would have to ask her to remove, sat hunched on the bedside rug, her ears jammed with iPod headphones, her face invisible but her closed-in body spelling sullenness. Melanie bent down and prodded her arm – reasonably gently, for now was not a time to stir up the current. Muffled in her gloom, deep inside the melody which seeped out as though from underground, the girl started slightly. She pulled out one ear stop and gazed pointedly ahead. That was fine: Melanie didn’t want eye contact either. She was down on her knees now, lips close to her daughter’s ear. “The taxi’s coming in ten minutes. Please make sure you’re ready. And…” She hesitated. “I take it you’re going to change your top into something more… suitable?” Clemmie’s eyes met hers for an instant and she gave a brief nod. “Purple’s a colour of mourning, isn’t it? I’m going to wear my purple jumper. It’s shrunk – but too bad.” “You shouldn’t put these things in the tumble dryer.” She could have elaborated but, managing to pull back, added instead, “I’m sure it will look fine.” “Purple’s OK?” It was a favourite colour of Clemmie’s. She wished her daughter could convey just a little more visibly that she was sad about Great Aunt Louisa. Well, perhaps this hunched shape on the floor was her way of showing it – a very traditional mourning pose, after all – but she suspected its source lay elsewhere. Clemmie’s next remark confirmed this. “Dad’s just come in and been horrible to me.” So it had started. She had to support him. It was she, after all, who’d complained to him about their daughter’s untidiness, and so drawn him in as an ally in parental discipline. “He’s just disappointed. We both are.” The stopper was back in. Melanie doubted that her next words would be audible, but she uttered them anyway. “All the same, let’s not get caught up in that sort of argument. It’s not what’s important today, is it?” Ending thus on a question, she waited a moment for some sort of response. None being forthcoming, she merely patted her daughter’s shoulder, straightened herself and went off to alert Mark and Alice, and double-check with the next-door neighbour on the arrangements for looking after Boris, their ageing springer spaniel. * * * * It had been Mark’s decision that they take the train rather than drive. This seemed a good idea, today being a Friday and the traffic therefore likely to be heavy. But Melanie felt nervous as she eased herself into the back of the taxi, taking care to sit in the vulnerable middle section. With the sort of journey they were undertaking, there was always the sense that you were never entirely in control. On balance, it might have been preferable to submit herself to the vagaries of the M25 than those of the railway and underground systems. But she wasn’t given long to brood on this dilemma. Mark, seated next to the driver, turned round shortly after they’d set off and addressed Clemmie. “Have you apologised to Mum about leaving the place in such a tip?” Clemmie was sitting on Melanie’s left, directly behind her father and so making it difficult for him to see her. Melanie felt the thigh grow rigid against hers. There was a brief shrug, which Mark may or may not have been able to catch. “What was that?” He edged his shoulder further round the back of the seat, as if he was about to jolt his daughter with it. Melanie tried to glimpse in the rear-view mirror the taxi driver’s expression, but he betrayed nothing. He must have witnessed one or two rows in his time. A heavy exhalation of breath to her left was the prologue to a sudden torrent. “That’s between me and Mum. It’s none of your business. You’re being vile to me just because you’re in a bad mood about something. And I don’t think it’s anything to do with Great Aunt Louisa dying. I think it’s just you being selfish, as usual.” Her voice had gone very shrill. She stopped suddenly, swallowing and catching her breath. Mark’s shocked glance had shifted sideways, surreptitious, to take in the taxi driver. And now Melanie tore into the silence, clenching her fists in an effort to keep calm, reminding herself that today only one thing mattered. “Clemmie, let’s not talk about it now.” She tried to curb her mounting desperation as she added, almost in a whisper: “Please.” Her daughter responded by plugging into her iPod. But Mark, maybe taking her plea as a licence to switch to a different subject, reached out and gave a little tug. “Hey!” “Hey nothing. I haven’t finished talking to you. So you can get that thing out of your ears. All I wanted to ask” (here the taxi turned sharp right, and he seemed about to collapse onto the driver as he tried to swivel round further) “- all I need to know is – did you get that Sunday Times and Observer I asked for?” For a minute, Clemmie seemed to shrink into her seat. Then it was as if she’d taken a decision to flick into an upbeat: leaning forward a little, hands spread out on her thighs, not quite gripping them, brown eyes suddenly widening, almost bursting through the mascara. “I’ve got you a bit of the Observer. Olivia found it at their house.” “Olivia found it? But I told you to buy it. To buy both of them.” “Well, I was busy, so I asked Alice to, because she was in town anyway.” The eyes shot sidelong to her sister. “But she didn’t have any money.” There was a pause. “I didn’t have any money either. You didn’t leave me any.” Mark swung back and talked horribly quietly into the windscreen. “I ask you to do so little. Mum and I make so few demands on you. But you don’t stay with the Pattersons like you’re meant to (God, Clemmie, they would have lent you some money for the papers!); you turn the house into a pig-sty; and you can’t even get me the Sunday papers I need.” Clemmie dropped her eyes and sank back into her seat. Melanie didn’t want to try and read the expression on her daughter’s face; she couldn’t bear to look at her. On her other flank, she heard Alice murmur, “But what about getting them online?” Neither father nor sister seemed to hear her: their anger had slammed up a soundproof barrier against the reasonable world. No-one said anything. Melanie registered Alice giving a kind of shudder. Her older daughter remained completely still. They were travelling straight up Queens Road to the station now; there was really little point, at this stage, in asking the taxi driver to stop so that she could escape from the car. Just before they came to a halt, the front seat passenger seemed impelled to sum up the journey thus far: “Hopeless! You’re absolutely hopeless!” He spun round briefly, hard dark eyes fixing like bayonets, before turning back to pay the driver. Melanie rather wished she had after all jumped out at the beginning of the journey and driven herself up alone. * * * * A ball of panic rolled in her guts. The journey got no better. Tickets and bottles of water were purchased in silence. Once on the train, Clemmie pointedly separated herself from the rest of them, disappearing inside a party of chirping ladies two compartments away. Melanie decided the most advisable tactic would be to steer clear. Sitting down next to Alice, she found herself reaching out to clasp the girl’s hand. A quick squeeze – and her daughter’s eyes had dropped back to the cover of Heat. She had to withdraw her hand in order to open it. The glossy pages squeaked; Alice licked her finger and smoothed out the inside spine; there stood Britney, hiding behind shades but scrambling into the camera. Mark wasn’t yet finished. After a quick check of his mobile, he faced her square, brows puckering as though in deep thought, or in pain. “You want me to support you. I give Clem a bollocking. And now you’re treating me to that hurt look, as though I’m being mean and it’s all my fault really.” She found it so difficult to come back at him with anything. Always, it seemed, he struck her dumb. But she had to manage something; it was up to her to salvage the day. “Yes – but why go on about the papers? I mean, if it was so important, why not leave her the money? And, as Alice said, you could catch up online… Get one of the girls to download it for you.” “That’s not the point, is it? She’s disobeyed us!” “Mark…” How to say it? “Mark… not now; not today.” She rose swiftly, walked down two compartments, swerving to avoid a suitcase, a pushchair, a woman leaning across the aisle to talk to someone. Clemmie was sitting in the midst of her chosen refuge – well-dressed middle-aged women with stiff hair and confident, long-vowelled tones, and the air of a group on a day’s outing to the Royal Academy and Regent Street. Her daughter was staring out of the window, ears plugged, iPod resting in the palm of her hand. “Excuse me. Sorry.” She edged past a woman in an electric blue jacket; felt the expensive scent particles wash over her; for the second time that morning tapped Clemnmie’s arm. The brown eyes looked timid now; they’d softened into something that might be the edge of tears. She picked up on that note. Beseeching. “Please. Clem.” That’s all she could muster. She couldn’t believe that she was going to be let down. Not on the way to a funeral. Clemmie rounded her lower lip over her teeth – just like her father. Slowly, she shook her head. That was all. Then she turned to look out of the window again. The women’s conversation had lulled but now, as Melanie retreated, it rose once more. She wondered if she was its subject. What a relief that she hardly cared. Back in her seat – impossible to focus on a book – she stared out of the window, watched fields draining away like life itself, saw the spread of suburban awning, and tried to feel calmed by the rocking of the train. * * * * It’s rocking her back, back, back in time, and she’s aged seventeen, in the sitting room of her parents’ home. They are abroad – she can’t remember where – and Aunt Louisa is looking after her and Patrick. This is unusual, and it must have been during the school holidays, in the days when her aunt was still teaching classics at a girls’ grammar school – probably not long before she launched her educational travel company, ‘Travel Scholastica’. It is winter. Melanie remembers that: she can still picture the greyness through the sitting room window – a damp garden, gaunt trees, that closed-in wintry feeling from the days when we had real winters. Had her aunt moved on already to the next phase in her life, she would have been in the Mediterranean or the Aegean, checking out modestly-priced hotels and reliable coach companies and searching for a spot of sun. But there are already tokens of a later re-invention as she sits with her niece, helping her to revise for her A levels. Melanie can still picture the bright heavy beads round Louisa’s neck, which dangle as she leans forward over Ovid’s Metamorphoses, hanging there in vivid defiance of the cold grey day outside. That’s what she was to concentrate on eventually, when she’d grown tired of ‘Travel Scholastica’ and sold it off to a larger outfit: jewellery, and scarves, and ceramics, which she imported chiefly from Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. When she eventually retired, half the year was spent in Crete. She had always lived alone. The beads, chunky and seemingly edible, brush against the story of Daphne, who, early in the Metamorphoses, is transformed into a laurel to escape the clutches of Apollo. How convenient. Melanie would like to be able to do that, sometimes. When the telephone rings, Aunt Louisa raises her hand as if to command “Ignore it!” But Melanie can’t ignore it. Patrick is out. She can’t leave it sounding into silence. Anyway, she’s expecting to hear from her friend Pauline. “Just a sec!” Pen and paper are dropped – reasonably gently – on the floor, as she darts to the hall to answer it – just in time. There’s a coat cupboard in the hall. Into its warm darkness she and Patrick like to secrete themselves, shutting its door almost completely – just a tiny gap left where the telephone cord is slipped through. Here it is possible to converse with your friend in private. Melanie rarely switches on the light. The darkness, and the sense of mufflement from the outside world provided by the hanging overcoats, help her to concentrate on the voice at the other end of the line. But it’s not Pauline. The voice is young and male – and doesn’t belong to some friend of Patrick’s. “Hello… Melanie?” She knows immediately who it is, but she won’t let on. “Speaking.” “Oh, right, good.” Young Master Waring sounds a bit flustered. “It’s Laurence here.” “Hi. How are you?” “Fine. Fine. It was good fun at Pauline’s last night, wasn’t it?” “Yes.” She pauses, waiting, wondering why he’s telephoned. Rather awkward, with schoolboy red cheeks and eyes that are watering a good deal at the moment, as he’s trying out contact lenses. But she is secretly keen on his friend Adam. That much she will admit to herself. He’s clearing his throat now, and asks her what she’s doing at the moment. “Right now? I’m revising Latin with my aunt.” “Oh, sorry. Sorry to interrupt, I mean…” She registers a quick intake of breath. Then, bursting through the dam of his shyness, the reason for his phone call comes out slightly shrill: “Would you like to come to the cinema tomorrow night?” Well here’s a surprise. She’s really not sure whether or not she wants to say “yes”, and anyway is so taken aback all she can manage is a stupid repetition. “Tomorrow night?” “Yes. How about it?” “Well…” She doesn’t want to sound too keen – but then, as this is Laurence at the other end of the phone, rather than Adam, there’s no need to bother about playing hard to get. “I think I’m free. Yes.” Another intake of breath, and then a sort of exasperated sigh gusts down the telephone line. “Oh God, I’m an idiot. I didn’t find out what’s on.” Yes, that was a bit idiotic, actually. He hurries on. “Look, I’ll ring the Odeon and then I’ll get back to you. OK?” “That’s fine. Right, well I’ll wait to hear from you.” It’s hard to concentrate on Daphne, the laurel tree. Aunt Louisa is talking to her about Ovid’s metre; she’s asked her a question; it’s gone unheard; Melanie is deciding that she can’t go to the cinema tomorrow night with Laurence Waring. They’re supposed to be friends: they go around with Pauline and Adam and the others. How dare he go and complicate things by asking her out to the cinema? That’s a date. It could ruin everything. And in any case, she doesn’t fancy him. She needs to think this one through. She wishes Aunt Louisa would stop talking. “Melanie, are you listening to me?” The phone rings. “Bother!” exclaims her aunt. At a leisurely pace, Melanie walks out of the sitting room and, seizing the receiver on her way, closets herself in the coat cupboard. Despite the darkness in there, she needs to shut her eyes. “Hello?” “Hi. It’s me again.” His words are spilling out fast, now. She finds herself hanging onto the arm of her father’s coat, as though to steady herself. “I rang the cinema – ” “Laurence…” “Yes?” He sounds suddenly suspicious, as well he might. “Look – I think it’s better if we don’t do this. I think it would…” She strokes the smooth lining of the sleeve. “I think it would spoil things.” He’s saying nothing. “I’d rather we stayed…” And now she pauses, realising how trite she must sound. “Good friends.” Still silence at the other end of the line. Then a small sigh, and “OK. If that’s what you feel.” She senses she has to justify it further, but all she can summon up is another cliché. “I really value our friendship… as it is.” And what is their friendship, exactly? She really couldn’t say, and as they politely hang up on each other, she wonders whether she has done the right thing. It’s impossible to concentrate on the Metamorphoses, but Aunt Louisa seems happy to move on to a later section of the poem and hold forth on Orpheus and Eurydice, while her niece sits chewing her pen and pretending to listen. She always was somewhat impervious. * * * * Sitting now on the train, borne along to her aunt’s funeral, Melanie finds she can remember nothing else about the Laurence Waring story, except that Pauline’s older sister Sandra said she was a little fool, and Pauline was annoyed because Laurence blamed her: he was convinced Melanie had telephoned her between his two calls and been advised to turn him down. She wonders what would have happened if she had actually telephoned her friend, rather than returning to Ovid and Aunt Louisa. But it does come to her now, as the train pulls out of Clapham Junction and she decides she ought to go and check that Clemmie really is planning to get off the train with them, that there is a curious conjunction between those events, when she herself was her daughter’s age, and what’s happening now. Her childless aunt staying at their house, coaching her in Latin literature, oblivious to the turmoil seething in that adolescent heart. Her aunt, now dead, never – as far as anyone knows – having given her heart to anyone. And here comes another teenage girl battling with life and its trifling but searing pains. Her aunt, always on the periphery of life. In silence, Clemmie accompanies her family into the bowels of the underground. Contemplating the map, she turns to her mother and surprises her by remarking, “I don’t even know where we’re going.” Melanie should have prepared her better; this is the first funeral she has ever been to, after all, and she’s probably feeling anxious. But, unlike Alice, she’s seemed eager to avoid the subject. So Melanie just watches as her daughter ostentatiously turns her back, to go and sit on a bench further up the platform. On the wall opposite, a poster advertises holidays on the Red Sea. Fixing her eyes on the couple lounging on a golden beach, Melanie remembers once more the story of Orpheus and Eurydice: if he turns round to look at her, she’ll be lost to him forever in the underworld. A train is approaching the other platform; she can hear the rails rattle and gasp. Mark glances up, registers Clemmie’s deliberate separation, and starts moving towards her. Melanie stops him in his tracks. People may be watching; she doesn’t care; again, there’s the sizzle of panic. “Mark; no.” She’s beating a kind of tattoo on his arm. “Please; leave her alone.” She can’t be sure what’s got into him. No, she really doesn’t understand what it is, and suddenly finds herself speculating with some alarm about the nature of the lunch engagement he’s had to cancel. He raises his eyebrows, as if to ask, “Why should I do as you say?” Then he pulls his arm away, strides off to where Clemmie’s sitting. Alice’s slipped over now; she and Melanie are with him, powerless now to restrain him, but needing to be witnesses, as though being so will limit the chaos. Clemmie looks thin and small, sitting there on the bench next to a large lady in a peaked velvet cap. And seeing her there, drawn, shuffling back into the seat as her father approaches, Melanie spots a flicker of fear, too. Mark’s head points down and forward, as though he’s charging at something. Melanie’s in time to hear him hiss at their daughter, “You know what you are? You’re a slut!” The woman in the peaked cap turns and stares. The rails begin to plunk; there’s a flourish of warm air through the tunnel; the headlights of the train are suddenly visible. Clemmie darts a deadly glance at her father; Melanie feels a jab in her flank and, as they all board the train, turns to see Alice, eyes and mouth wide, in questioning amazement. Of course, Mark has used the wrong word. It surprises his wife, who considers that someone whose career is in the law would be less sloppy in his use of language. What he intended to call her was “slattern.” Or even a “slovenly girl”. Not that his daughter is likely to have understood either of these rather archaic words. Well, she reasons, the fact that he got his vocabulary so grotesquely wrong shows what a state he’s in. She has neither the time nor the steadiness to wonder what it’s all about. At this moment, she’s terrified. Clemmie has plonked herself down and is poking her fingers angrily into her mobile. Maybe she’s preparing a text to send round to all her friends, once she’s got signal, telling them what her father’s just called her. Suddenly, she looks up. Her eyes are fiery. She stalks over to where her father is standing next to the doors. “I can’t believe you called me that!” “I meant it.” “No you didn’t, Mark. What you meant to say…” The train slows down as they come into Oxford Circus. People edge past them, alighting, getting on, busy with their ordinary Friday. The doors start to close. Clemmie slips past her parents, out onto the platform, and away. There’s no point in trying to look normal: this is a disaster. Melanie registers a wail, like keening, come from her. “She doesn’t know where to go!” “Don’t be silly. She’s nearly eighteen.” “No – she doesn’t know where the funeral is…” “Come on, Mum. Let’s get off at the next stop.” So at Warren Street the three of them jump off, run up the escalators (Melanie taking in deep gasps, working to stop the hopeless wobbling of her legs) until – first to reach the top, Mark manages to pick up a signal on his mobile. She leaves it to him to talk to Clemmie: he loves a crisis; this is where he truly comes into his own. And now, perhaps, here’s a chance for forgiveness, after all. She herself feels powerless, standing here panting for breath. Yes, he’s got her. To Melanie’s horror, he’s telling her to take a taxi to the crematorium in Golders Green. “But Mark…” Conversation finished. “She’s fine. Just needed to be on her own, I think.” “Won’t a taxi be very expensive?” “Quite, Alice.” But the energy has all drained out of her. At least her older daughter is still going to the funeral. She’s on her way, however crazy that way might be. “She’ll have to stop off at a cash point.” Melanie pauses, working it out. “Oh God, Mark. That’s going to delay her still further. The traffic will be terrible. It would be so much quicker for her to go by tube.” “I’ll reimburse her. Not to worry.” Her husband puts his arm round her. “Look – at least the taxi will get her right to the door.” She doesn’t care to let her imagination dwell on the possible doors to be found in a crematorium. So she says nothing, but – anxious to make up this lost ten minutes or so – leads the others back down the escalator to the Northern Line. * * * * During the final part of the journey, Melanie tries to focus on reading through her funeral address. Concentrate on Aunt Louisa. You could say, after all, this is her day. Yes, her husband and her daughter have torn her grieving into fragments; these they have scattered down a black tunnel, whirled about by a conflict like wind. But now she must try to push all that aside – be more like her aunt, in fact, in her single-mindedness. The short piece she has prepared captures the woman very well, she decides – her intelligence, her sharpness, her energy in making a path through life. Melanie closes her eyes and tries to picture her. Instead, she sees the assembled mourners – Patrick and his family, her cousin Rowena whose four children will all be immaculately turned out in black, her own parents, assorted friends and former colleagues – those who have not already preceded Louisa across the Styx. She sees the coffin waiting before the curtains for its final journey; she sees herself walk carefully to the microphone to deliver her oration; she sees the heavy chapel door open, just as she prepares to speak. And there will be Clemmie. I am thinking about a person’s life, she reminds herself. And this is life, life itself, the turning over of the hours, glorious and ordinary, joyful and sad, sometimes so complicated you don’t know what to do, but you have to make your way through it, step by step, until the final moment of your journey. This is the life I have chosen, Melanie says to herself, folding her speech and returning it to her bag. It would have been foolish to expect that the journey would be straightforward.

One of the most common mistakes people make when buying a smartphone is to buy the latest model. They think that the latest release will be better than the older one, and they end up buying the latest phone just because of its looks and features. In reality, you can save a lot of money by buying a slightly older model. Read on to learn about Avoid these Common Mistakes Before buying a smartphone Avoiding TV commercials The biggest deception of a phone’s name is the TV commercial. It features the best features of the device, and stars from the media are usually the stars of the commercial. Users get carried away and don’t even know the phone’s other features. It’s a common mistake to buy a smartphone-based on its appearance and price tag. To avoid this pitfall, you should know how to choose the right model by avoiding TV commercials Before buying a smartphone. The use of mobile devices increases engagement with TV commercials. A study conducted by MediaCom and ViewersLogic found that consumers who engage with their mobile devices while watching TV were less likely to switch channels during commercials. The study also showed that viewers of mobile devices improved their follow-up rate of ads during the second screening. Women also responded to ads more than men when using their mobile devices. However, despite the increase in engagement with mobile devices, most consumers cannot ignore the ads while using their mobile devices. Taking into Account Storage Requirements Considering storage capacity when purchasing a smartphone is essential to ensure that the phone meets your needs. As smartphone storage capacity increases, so does the need for more storage. Many end-users stores more data on their phones than just photos, so manufacturers have incorporated larger storage capacities and introduced new types of storage. However, many people find that the base storage option is adequate. You may need to add memory cards if you intend to store large amounts of data. If you plan to store lots of music, photos, and videos, you should purchase a smartphone with large storage space. Although most smartphones come with 32GB of internal storage, up to 10GB is taken up by pre-installed apps and the phone’s operating system. At the same time, 32GB is sufficient for many people, the minimum for those who regularly record video is 64GB. Higher-end smartphones usually have 256GB or more. Internal storage is the space on the device that the manufacturer installs. This is where the phone’s system software, pre-installed applications, and user files reside. Internal storage on a smartphone may vary between 100MB and 500GB, but more expensive models may offer up to 512GB of space. You may also consider external storage such as cloud storage or an external drive. However, don’t let these storage capacities limit your choices. You should check internal storage Before buying a Smartphone. One of the most common problems with smartphones is that they run out of space. After a few months, you may have to clean up the data or buy a new device if you want more storage. Thankfully, there are ways to make more space on your phone. Android and iOS make it easy to see what you’re currently using on your phone and how much space you have left. So, Before buying a smartphone, consider what you’ll need for the space. Check this Before buying a smartphone. Taking into Account Storage Requirements Updating your phone’s operating system is crucial because it improves the performance of your phone and because it can protect it against security threats. While updating your phone’s operating system may take a little time, it is well worth it, as the latest versions of the software are designed to prevent bugs and security vulnerabilities from affecting your device. Besides, you can often find a phone from a lesser-known brand comparable to the flagship phones of major brands for less. In addition, updating your operating system also prevents your phone from lagging performance and data corruption. Smartphone bugs can make you trouble. That’s why You must do OS checking Before buying a smartphone. Also Read Review – Tech News Keeping your phone up to date is also important because as newer smartphones are released, older phones run outdated software and are therefore not secure. The latest smartphones from companies like Apple and Google also receive regular updates to the software, so they have better security and smoother performance. So, if you’re buying a new smartphone, make sure to keep your phone’s operating system up to date to protect it from vulnerabilities and viruses. Virus checking must be done Before buying a smartphone. Buying a Smartphone that’s more than Two years old If you’re in the market for a new smartphone, you might be considering buying an older one. While it might be cheaper, an older model will lose out on important software updates and security patches. It might also lack in power to handle the latest applications. However, if you’re not concerned about these issues, an older model might be the perfect fit. After all, you don’t need to use it for heavy gaming or video editing. Your lifestyle can also dictate Before buying a smartphone. For instance, if you have student loans or other bills to pay, you might not want to upgrade every three months. However, if you take good care of your smartphone, you may be able to own it for many years, far longer than its expected lifespan. This means you can get the best value for your money by buying a smartphone at least two years old. You should check Smartphone is running well or not Before buying a Smartphone. Smartphones have a short shelf life. Apple has two years to update its operating systems, but Android devices tend to last for less than two. As a result, the replacement parts for an iPhone 6S from 2015 might be difficult to find. You may want to consider getting a screen protector or a heavy-duty protective case to help extend the life of your smartphone. If you are unsure, you can always upgrade your phone later if you’re feeling the urge to. Always check this factor Before buying a smartphone.

in the ancient Roman calendar, the 15th of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th of the other months View the full definition in the Macmillan Dictionary. Origin and usage The noun ides was borrowed from the Latin ‘Idus’ in its feminine plural form. It refers to the third of three marker days in the Roman calendar, and first appeared in Old English towards the end of the first millennium. Examples Many of us are aware of the word ides thanks to Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar’, in which the eponymous leader is warned by a soothsayer to ‘Beware the ides of March’. Caesar ignores the advice, along with that of his wife Calpurnia, and is duly murdered on that day by a group of conspirators led by his former friend and ally Brutus. It is probably because of its appearance in Shakespeare’s play and subsequent life as part of a catchphrase that ides is a relatively familiar word in English. We remember the Ides of March but may forget or not know that all the other months had ides too: as the definition above shows, the 15th in May, July and October and the 13th in all the other months. Two years before his death Caesar had been responsible for the reform of the calendar and the introduction of a new one that bears his name. The Julian calendar was used in most of Europe and the Americas before gradually being replaced by the Gregorian calendar devised in the late 16th century. The entry for ides comes from our crowdsourced Open Dictionary and was submitted by a reader in Argentina last year. You can submit words and phrases to the Open Dictionary here.

If you’ve ever participated in a traditional text-to-win giveaway, you’ve probably experienced something underwhelming that left you unsatisfied and maybe even confused about what just happened. We’re on the other side, making sure that these types of underwhelming giveaways are stopped in their tracks and fans have a memorable & positive interaction with your brand. Our goal is to ensure your fans experience text-to-wins like never before. In our years in this field we’ve learned a LOT about what works and what doesn’t. We’ve picked six nuggets of gold to share with you. 1. Response Time Matters As in, how quickly your fans can participate with your promotion and how quickly your promotion responds to their interaction. Sometimes response time (how long it takes for you to respond to their sending a message to your short code) is out of your control. The event could be at a remote location, with only one or two rural cell phone towers around and when a bunch of cell phones ping it, response time slows. But, all things being equal, response time makes a big difference. Early on in our journey as a company we helped run an event and our response times to an original text were anywhere between 10 and 17 seconds. This eventually led to an email capture rate of 48%, which, let’s be honest, is pretty good in and of itself. But we always love to iterate and learn and do better and we went back to our systems and dropped out all the extra parts and plumbing that could be slowing us down and increased response time to between 2 and 6 seconds. Our email capture rate then? >82% . It’s clear that customers perceive response time as part of the reliability and desirability of the program. 2. Giveaways Drive Sales While one of the main reasons we love giveaways are the special moments created between individuals and a brand, it’s not just about giving away free stuff. We’ve found that so much more happens when you give someone that shot of oxytocin that comes when they’ve won something. Here’s what happened when we did a beer giveaway for a Major League Baseball team: 65-75% redeemed a coupon for a discount on beer 80-85% redeemed when they won a free beer Of those who redeemed a coupon: 80% brought a friend to the redemption point 72% bought an additional beverage 52% bought food (who can resist a pretzel to go with that beer? We sure can’t. Also nachos, please.) The teams we worked with saw that not only was the fan engagement higher than any previous promotion they had done, but their food and beverage sales benefited significantly as a result. When done right, what starts out as a “giveaway” for a brand very often leads to significant financial ROI. 3. The Number of Redemption Centers are Crucial If you only have one redemption center (yes, we are talking about the place you send your fans to redeem their prize… it matters), you’re going to lose some people who just don’t want to, for whatever reason, hike over that way. We found that adding a second location to the first increased redemptions by 10-25% depending on the prize or offer type. This makes sense. Giving people more options and increasing the convenience gives them more opportunities to participate. Having one redemption center is a minimum. See each additional location as a building block of participation and revenue generation. 4. The Way the Giveaway is Announced is Key There are so many announcements happening at special events that our brains easily filter (and let’s be honest… tune out...no I don’t need an oil change right now...) the information for us. Something that is played with special noises, alerts, or breaks the normal cadence gets our attention. The voice that’s just comfortably droning on in the background predictably gets shifted to the background of our attention. You don’t want your giveaway to be in the background. While we are proud of the events in which we’ve seen 3-6% participation of the entire audience, we’ve observed what happens when an engaged announcer “plays along” in the giveaway with the audience, saying that he/she is participating in the promotion and typing into his phone while speaking. On nights like these, we often see almost 45% participation. Tone of voice and position matters, yes, but so does what you’re saying. This is a moment for a brand to truly connect with its audience and many brands underestimate how much that audience values those moments of connection and value. Be intentional about who reads your message and how that message is to be read. 5. Everybody is a Winner What we’ve found is that people love to participate in games, and even if they don’t win the “big prize” of the event, winning anything is a thrill to them. For one of our clients we ran a giveaway in which every participant got a special edition poster. Not only did the participating fans snap up all the posters allotted for that night, but, just as we saw with food and beverage sales above, redemption centers that were also merchandise stands saw a significant boost to their sales. In one case a booth did $10,000 more than all the other booths that night. Coincidence? Not a chance. Find a way to make everyone win. The fan, the brand, and the venue will all walk away winners. 6. The Legal Stuff is Important! Violating the terms and conditions of a text message program is serious stuff. Even the serious fans of a football team can get irritated and cost their team millions. You might think that there are simple federal laws that govern these programs, but the reality differs state by state. And your organization type matters as well. For example, non-profits have fewer options available to them than traditional for-profit enterprises. In some giveaways, there has to be an age gate as minors cannot win certain items. This is to say nothing of the 21+ gate that HAS to be in place when you’re dealing with alcohol in most states. Take the legal stuff (terms and conditions, compliance, Federal/State/County, etc.) seriously. Or face the consequences. We’ve got so much more that we can share with you, but if you even take half of these tips to heart you’re going to love the results you see at your next giveaway. Is there anything you would add to this list? Contact us. There might even be a prize for the best one (see what we did there?).
