Braun is a premium German brand for electrical appliances. Some associate Braun
with design, based on the pioneering industrial design led by Dieter Rams and his
successors. Others think of German engineering and innovation: Braun’s invention
of the Plexiglas lid for turntables or its innovations in metal surfaces or plastics molding.
Many simply consider the indestructible nature of Braun appliances, renowned for their
reliability, longevity and sustainability.
All are true and relevant facets of the Braun brand, but Braun is more than this.
Braun wants to go “beyond design” by viewing products in the context of consumer
experience. Our goal is to design our products with details that make a difference in
people’s lives, to bring consumers experiences to life in what we call the “Braun moment.”
This idea is summarised in the brand line “designed to make a difference”.
Household products (kitchen and irons) are a focus of consumers’ everyday life and
a core part of Braun’s heritage and product offer. Braun’s products support
consumers during their daily work - from tasty morning coffee to surprise dinners in
the evening - also ensuring perfectly ironed outfits.
In September 2012, the De’Longhi Group and Procter & Gamble finalised an agreement
for the perpetual licensing to De’Longhi of the Braun brand for household products,
thus not including Personal Care products (Male Dry Shaving, Female Electric Hair
Removal, Hair Care and Beautronics), Clocks and Watches.
Thanks to this agreement, the De’Longhi Group significantly strengthens its market
positioning by adding to its portfolio a new, high-end, prestigious brand perfectly aligned
with De’Longhi’s strategy and corporate culture. A key objective of De’Longhi group in
the years to come is to fully leverage on the potential of Braun by further developing
its values and product offer.

Discussion in 'Sodom' started by Captain Zaven, Jan 16, 2016.
It's dangerous to hack the internet alone, take this.
Game Jam Complete! Once a proper build is rendered and posted by my teammate I'll letchu guys know! It's pretty rough, but I don't think we did too bad for three artists with very little programming experience
I just want to say that whenever I see this image I just think of AH
(also couldn't post the image via link because for some reason my work server prohibits me from doing so??????)
BAHAHAHA! I love it!!!
The guy at the table looks mortified, he knows he's being upstaged by the awesome waiter with a whole chicken and three glasses of wine (for himself)
When it comes to food and drink, you either go big or go home. O_O
I adopted a kitttttty!
That sounds like a cat, not a kitty.
all cats are kitties
Exactly. She's still super super nervous around people but she's warming up quickly. she likes to be where she can watch me and has let me pet her twice! She also seems to really like the apartment, and has found a windowsill she adores so I put a bed up there for her.
My friend's wedding is making me realize I don't know jack shit about how these things work.
I was in my sister's wedding party but that was a decade ago and I had my parents to worry about a lot of the stuff I was too busy to handle.
Like, I don't know how wedding presents work. And I got her a bunch of stuff at the bridal shower, do I get her more? Do you bring it to the wedding? When is it the correct time to choke out an obnoxious guest?
I have so much learning to do....
I doubt anyone will ever say no to free stuff. If they are, be suspicious.
I would like to know the secrets of the person who says no to free stuff.
I want to know their life and what lead to that point.
I've started playing Stardew Valley and Don't Starve again. I'm also making a new D&D character. I have no life and I kind of love it?
I petted da birb.
Congrat. Is good birb. Also, nice game choices.
My work's been very busy for the past few months, but I've still found time to read and write and game a lil' bit. I also ran a 5K Run with my Mom this past Friday Night, so that was a blast.
Nice!! Congrats! That's a big achievement!
I'm a rubbish runner, especially now that my ankle is still being rebuilt since breaking it, but I have been lifting weights again and that makes me pretty happy. I'll never be buff, but I'll also never stop trying
He was good birb. I'm glad I got that picture
Also I've got a new design for my group's next set of characters! I can't wait to show you guys once I have it coloured
Whenever I see someone pet a bird it makes me think of that birdmachine video where the guy gently booped the bird to the beat.
Also guys I think we might be playing some Board Game Online tonight I'll keep you posted.
What game did you play?
Separate names with a comma.

Whether you’re new to toners or used to the habit but don’t really know why you’re doing it, start here. In a nutshell, toner is the in-between skincare routine step that should be used after cleansing and before applying serum and moisturizer. A toner’s job is to refresh your complexion and prepare it for the next skincare steps. Okay, it does more than that.
What does toner do to my skin?
Toners have manifold benefits, being the perfect addition to your skincare arsenal and the right way to infuse your skin with some more actives. By their nature, toners balance the skin’s pH after cleansing — as long as it skips alcohol. If your toner is infused with probiotics, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin, it helps the skin get back its delicate pH (between 5-6), ensuring a healthy skin barrier. A toner filled with AHAs, such as glycolic acid, can help prevent ingrown hairs, hindering pimples’ apparition, while promoting smooth skin and even tone. Another key role of the toner is to add a layer of protection, reducing the chances of impurities getting into the skin.
Not only do toners support the protective barrier thanks to the nutrients they’re infused with, but some are spiked with antioxidants, too, for a strong defense against free radical damage. Plus, toners leave skin damp, which is way more permeable, allowing actives to penetrate better. So what you layer after toner sinks deeper into the tissue layers, providing a burst of moisture.
Toner for your skin type
Like the rest of your skincare arsenal, the toner should also address your skin type. For instance, if your skin is mature, opt for toners infused with retinol, or glycolic acid to help soften wrinkles, humectants to plump skin, and ceramides and peptides to increase firmness and elasticity. Toners enhanced with salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or witch hazel do best for oily and acne-prone skin. Or, for dry skin, look for toners that contain moisturizing agents, such as aloe vera, glycerin, botanical oils, and squalane to prevent further moisture loss.

“[D]esigned and sewn by Dawn Pendergast in Houston, Texas,” the little red leaves textile series produces some of the most attractive poetry chapbooks I’ve seen in a while [see my previous reviews of their titles here and here and here], hand-sewn with recycled textiles including bedsheets and other fabrics. Produced in limited edition, these are beautifully-made, and more than worth their weight (I might even be slightly biased, since one of the earlier chapbooks in this series was something of mine, but I don’t really think so).
In her most recent package, Pendergast sent along Dan Thomas-Glass’ Kate & Sonia (2011), Megan Kaminski’s GEMOLOGY (2012), Lee Gough’s Future Occupations (2012), Kevin Varrone’s Eephus (from Box Score) (2012), Todd Melicker’s King & Queen (2012), Mac Wellman’s The Rat Minaret (2012) and Rachel Blau DuPlessis’ Draft 108: Ballad and Gloss (2012). It seems as though her productivity has been increasing over the past year or two, which is impressive, especially when one considers that every copy of every book is hand-sewn by the editor/publisher herself.
Something’s always doubling the double.
Shadows of trace remain intent.
Something explores its own excess.
Something pulses, never spent.
Littler and littler,
seely after seely
only a fine-meshed, mesh-fine net
can deal with this kind of real. Really.
Poetic technology always registers
smallness in the count.
With large-bore machinery, tiny details
are filtered through and out. (Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Draft 108: Ballad and Gloss)
Ottawa poet Monty Reid keeps reminding me (as though I needed reminding of such) that chapbooks are the ground level of where the best writing is actively happening. I’m paraphrasing, if only slightly; how could I ever disagree with him? If he’d seen any of these chapbooks, he’d most likely be even more certain. But what I’m really looking forward to is more work by Pendergast herself [see my reviews of such here and here]; when might that be happening?
Sonia screams against the order
days insist on packing
into the stretch: minor
impossibilities like toes
arched up to generate
space straining to switch
the switch. This possible world
Sonia screams against. I
glance at Kate—where are
our options? To lift
or light? Shushing by
reflex my art motions
toward quiet. (Dan Thomas-Glass, Kate & Sonia)
Subtitled “in the months / before our second / daughter’s birth,” Dan Thomas-Glass’ Kate & Sonia (2011) is a meditation on the imminent birth of his second daughter, a subject far too common in poetry, yet rarely done well. I’m interested in writing on parenting, yet have noticed that the poems on motherhood (some of the finest from New York poet Rachel Zucker) far outweigh the poems on fatherhood, nearly to the exclusion of the latter. “Kate, Sonia I wanted to write / a poem for you that a mother would write,” he writes, to open the third section, nearly echoing the sentiment. The poem writes out, as his bio confirms, “his wife Kate and their daughters Sonia and Alma (born 9/21/11).” Parenting is a powerful thing, and too often I’ve seen the dismissal of father-specific writing, and even the fear of attempting such. A sequence of eleven poems plus epilogue, his meditation focuses on the small, and the close-to-home, as a kind of sketchbook of thoughts during his wife’s second pregnancy. As the final pre-epilogue poem ends, “Sonia I am sorry for all this moment’s failures.” I’m glad Thomas-Glass has produced this; not as physical, obviously, as motherhood, how does fatherhood become so easily dismissed?
Rachel Blau DuPlessis has been composing her ongoing poem “Draft” for some time, so far collected in five trade volumes. The second of DuPlessis’ “Draft” poems to appear as a little red leaves chapbook (her chapbook Draft 96: Velocity appeared in 2011 [see my review of such here]), this poem exists as a kind of call-and-response, composing a binary piece; each poem is paired with an italicized addendum. Is this a call-and-response, or something more akin to Greek chorus? Paired with the poem quoted above is this, her italicized chorus:
I cannot solve what is done in my name. they send 100 million to the killers from my insistent taxes; I sent $500 to some other side. This has been going on for years now. Cannot solve, cannot absolve… And “orange” is not an absolute; it has been worked with—for it itself is generally hybrid. It comes from bud unions and tree grafts and sometimes spontaneous mutations. Fusions of root-stock with something from elsewhere. Much more rarely from seeds. What then counts as “normal”?
The collage aspect of the piece picks from multiple sources, and her “Drafts” have lengthened since the poem first started, years ago. An interesting question: has anyone attempted to write critically of her “Drafts” work as a whole unit?
Dear cabbie, dear comfort
perchance could you drive faster
ruefully abide your own speaking space
we’ll wrangle sweet nothings through that
window if you like it’s only plexiglass
my dear plastic really that keep us apart
just split the avenue open vivisect districts
flower shops mechanics pantries
glow orange green silver as we pass (Megan Kaminski, GEMOLOGY)
Author of four previous chapbooks and the trade collection Desiring Map (2012) [seemy review of such here], Lawrence, Kansas poet Megan Kaminski’s GEMOLOGY (2012) is a letter to the city, writing out her neighbourhood in a sequence of short lyrics. “Vowels roll drip down thighs / conjunctions across backs,” she writes, later continuing: “Name me modesty / name me vexation[.]” Kaminski’s immediate city is as sensual as it is physical, composing a lyric love letter for a neighbourhood and even city unspecified. Does her love lie in the immediate physicality of wherever she hangs her hat?
Dear night, dear misplaced images
blanketed silver singed crystalline
cold I gather icicles sew flack jackets
encase late night wonderings
parks shadowed sharply street-lit
dear avenue if I follow floor me
carry me and my lost children
wordspent gangrened unburied (Megan Kaminski, GEMOLOGY)

As the old saying goes, “you have to spend money to make money.” But when it comes to promoting new music, that’s easier said than done! If you don’t have a lot of money left for your marketing, you could be left scratching your head, wondering how to market your upcoming music release effectively.
Fortunately, there are ways to promote your new music on a budget. Let’s take a look at seven of those strategies one by one.
Social Media Hype
The first place to start is social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and even Twitter. These platforms are some of the most cost-effective, user-friendly places to market anything, including new music releases.
Say that you want to release a new single or a new album. The best place to announce that upcoming release is on your Facebook page.
Even if you don’t have a lot of followers yet, starting your marketing efforts on these platforms will give you a good baseline from which to extend your other ads or promotions. Plus, the more people you get to listen to your music, the more people will check out your social media pages and become followers.
Over time, this marketing effect will snowball and allow you to promote new music releases much more efficiently.
Blogging About Your Journey
Have a personal website? If not, make one. Then start blogging about your personal journey as an artist.
People love underdog stories. If you’ve been working hard to release music for several years, it may be effective to write about your musical journey as a marketing tactic.
For instance, say that you want to release a new single. You can make a blog post describing the single’s inspiration, musical source, and the unique challenges or difficulties you had in creating this piece of art.
Blogging about your journey is a good way to connect to other artists or music fans in your genre, especially if you make music in a relatively niche or unknown genre. Plus, a blog post is a perfect opportunity to link to the download page for your new music release, whether that’s on Spotify or some other music platform.
Get Endorsements from Friends and Family
Friends and family members are expected to be in your corner no matter what. So have them listen to your new music, then spread positive word-of-mouth about the release to their friends, acquaintances, and coworkers.
Endorsements from friends and family might seem like a cheap way to promote your music, and it is! But it’s also a good tool you can’t afford to ignore, particularly if your marketing budget is less than full.
Make Engaging, Epic Album Covers
What’s the first impression that a potential listener has of your music? The album, whether it’s a physical album or a digital album cover. Therefore, it’s only logical that you should make epic, eye-catching album covers for every piece of music you create!
Fortunately, you don’t need to hire an expensive graphic designer or go to school for graphic design yourself. Instead, you can use free online tools like PosterMyWall to whip up great-looking album covers for your upcoming music releases.
Once you have great album covers ready to go, you can print them out for the physical albums you produce and send to your friends and family members. Alternatively, you can make digital versions of the album covers and post them everywhere online, including your social media pages, your personal website, and more.
Don’t give up this opportunity to make an excellent first impression on new listeners. A good album cover is like a good book cover: it inspires people to check out what lies beneath the surface.
Connect with Content Creators
Content creators, like YouTubers, music review platforms, and so on are excellent contacts, especially when you are trying to promote an upcoming music release.
In the run-up to releasing a new album or single, reach out to content creators who cover music releases in your genre or subgenre. See if they will be willing to give your music the spotlight for an upcoming episode, podcast, etc.
These content creators already have built-in audiences. If you’re lucky, this bit of affordable promotion could result in you getting new listeners from those audiences.
Pitch Your Music to Blogs or Reviewers for Free
Blogs and music reviewers in particular should be major targets for your music marketing strategy. If you don’t have a lot of money, your best bet to spread the word to as many people as possible is to ask well-known reviewers to check out your sound.
It doesn’t matter whether those reviewers like or dislike your music. So long as they provide their readers or listeners with an honest review of your sound, you have a great opportunity to broaden your audience and bring people to your music for the first time.
Of course, make sure that you offer your new music to those reviewers for free! That way, they get extra traffic and promotional profits without having to spend a cent on an unknown artist like yourself.
Partner with Other Artists
Speaking of unknown artists, it may help to partner with other artists at the same stage of their careers. When you partner with other artists, you can cross-promote each other’s work by recommending that your listeners check out their stuff. In theory, artists who partner with you will do the same thing for your new music releases.
Not only does this look good from a promotional perspective, but it also gives you and other artists the opportunity to grow each other’s audiences organically and cooperatively.
Even if you don’t have a big marketing budget, you can still promote your new music releases with the right strategy and market savvy. Keep in mind that no one makes it in this business alone; partner with as many people as possible and you’ll have more marketing avenues to reach a wide audience of prospective listeners. Good luck!

To be a successful blogger, you have to be committed to your blog and your audience. If you are simply in it to increase traffic or make money, you are very likely going to fail. Blogging has to be about more than the surface stuff. Great blog posts and great bloggers have substance and a human element. If you have just started a blog, plan to start one, or feel that your blog can perform better, you need to keep reading.
Learn how to start your own blog here.
Today, I want to focus on being a successful blogger. The world is chock-full of bloggers in every imaginable niche and for you to be noticed, will take time, patience, and dedication. So, here is what you have to do to be successful.
1. Make Your Audience Important
If you have a blog and you write so people can read your work and follow your blog, you need to pay attention to those readers. Your audience is the most important part of your blog. They are the ones who will be reading your work, commenting, interacting with you, and sharing your content if they like it. To make sure that you keep your audience and give them good reading material, you need to listen to them and get to know them. Engage with them, read their comments, do surveys and find out what they want to read about and what questions they want answered.
2. Write Valuable Content
Valuable content is non-negotiable. If you just sit and start typing a bunch of sentences and hope it make sense, you have no business being a blogger, unless of course you only blog to vent for yourself. You need to plan your content to make sure that it is valuable and good and that your audience will be able to take something away from it. Planning is an important part of blogging.
3. Build Your Mailing List
Your mailing list is very important. Building your mailing list should be a priority because it is the way you can communicate with your readers. It is not just a way to sell things. Whether you are selling something or not, build your mailing list. You need to interact with your audience, show them you care, and be able to send them updates and good news.
4. Don’t Write for Someone Else
I once came across some really good advice and have found it to be very helpful. The person told me to write for myself. This is important when you are just starting out. If you are writing posts for yourself because you enjoy it and get to say what you feel, then the readers will come. If you try to write for someone else or be someone else, readers will pick it up and they generally don’t like that. So, before you worry about everyone else and whether people will read your blog, write for yourself and build it from there.
5. Be Real and Open
People can tell when you’re lying to them or trying to be something you’re not. People pick up on fake. To make your posts successful, be real and be open. The best things to write about are things that you have experienced and know about. When you share life experiences, fears, joy, etc. with your audience, they relate and they identify with you. When people see the human behind the blog, they tend to keep reading. They may start reading because of the content but eventually they will follow the blog for you.
6. Create Your Brand
The top bloggers in the world are recognized by their brand. They have logos, reputations, and buzz that all speaks to their brand. If you want to make your blog a big deal it has to be visible and recognizable as you. Building a brand takes time and patience, but it is worth it. If you follow the tips here on Blogspot Yard, you will get a good start on that brand.
7. Don’t be Afraid to Share What You Know
You shouldn’t feel like you have to hide your knowledge. You should share it. What else are you going to do with it? We all have our unique combinations of things we know and sharing will make us all learn something new. So, share your wisdom and give your readers something they can use or learn from. People like to learn new things and they like anything that they can learn fast. A blog post is the ideal way to share valuable information in a quick and easy to understand manner.
8. Connect With Your Audience
Yes, I mention audience again because they are very important. Successful bloggers interact with their audience. They become their friend. If you are truly offering people value with your blog, they will feel like they are home when they read your posts and they will feel like they are visiting a friend when they open your blog. This connection with your audience is very important. Reach out to them, respond to comments, and send out ‘just-because’ emails every now and then.
Blogging can be a very rewarding experience. If you do it right, you will reach people, touch their lives, and make a difference even if you may never know it. Words are powerful and when you write the right ones together and give people something to think about or something to learn, you are making a difference.
If you think blogging is not for you, read this post on the reasons why you should start a blog.

The Path to Heal is angelic healing that helps you remove all blocks to joy while taking you on a journey of self-discovery. The blocks are uncovered through muscle testing your energy utilizing The Path’s protocols. This exploration provides specific insight as to the origin of the blocks to joy. Then the angelic vibration of crystals, tuning forks and essential oils raise your vibration to love, releasing the blocks, enabling joy. In-person sessions, distance sessions, business coaching, self-help courses, practioner training, guidance cards and books by Rebecca Cohen are all available.
The Path leads to significant physical healing because a session utilizes the client’s physical symptoms to illuminate areas in which self-love is needed. Once addressed, the conditions can quickly dissipate. The Path to Heal can relieve many conditions, including, but not limited to:
• Autoimmune Syndromes
• Chronic Pain
• Chronic Fatigue
• Digestive Disorders
• Fears and Phobias
• Learning Disabilities
• Lyme Disease
• Viruses and Infections
• Weight Issues
The Path to Heal was channeled into Rebecca Cohen from the Goddess Isis. The very first concept that was given to her was to be enthusiastically yourself at all times and all good things will come to you. Rebecca followed this guidance, left her job as a senior vice president in banking, and now is a successful healer, author and spiritual teacher. The Path to Heal will remove the blocks that get in the way of you choosing to do the things that fill you with joy. With this shift, doors will open and you will discover your vocation and how it can abundantly provide for you every day.
I remove blocks to doing what I love every day
I choose joy
I am healthy and well provided for when I do
I connect with others who are choosing joy
We have fun
We fall in love
We find peace
We are bliss
Divine Incarnation is the special lifetime that most who come for help with The Path to Heal are experiencing. It’s a lifetime wherein a soul can acknowledge and heal all their blocks to self-love. When these blocks are healed, we no longer need healing and the gates to Heaven on Earth are opened and we walk in. Although there are young souls and ancient souls, all souls can choose to have a Divine Incarnation. And the more that do, the more others will follow.
The Promise of The Path
The Promise of The Path to Heal: As we heal through The Path, the closer we move to unconditional love, the following will occur:
- Miracle healing is received.
- Doors open and as long as we go through them, we will live rich and fulfilling lives.
- The dreams that are aligned with our heart manifest.
- We experience adversity as our friend directing us to discover what we don’t love about self. Once recognizing its purpose and healed through Path sessions, the adversity will disappear. This adversity can be small or enormous (affecting humanity and the planet).
- We exist in a state of positivity as joyful opportunities present themselves.
- We see every other person as love even if they can’t see themselves that way (yet!)
- We recognize and cherish our unique gifts and talents; therefore, we are limitless pure potential.
- Our reactive nature is healed and instead we are always peace, grace and forgiveness.
- We acknowledge that we create our own reality and therefore we take full responsibility for our circumstance.
- The past is the learning ground to teach us that only love is real, while the future is our alive and vibrant playground wherein only love is real.
- We make choices that are good for us.
- Our body and brain function at peak capacity.
- Our body is a source of pleasure, always.
- All emotions are cherished, as they are clues to our healing needs.
- Our self-love grows while our dependencies and fear of loss disappear.
- All is synchronistic ease.
- We are our creative soul.
- Facing our fears becomes a joyful exercise.
- All is always well.
- Success is free and easy.

Marvel just recently gave us a sneak peak into what Tony Stark’s newest armor is going to look like. On the offset, I have to say that I’m not all that impressed. It doesn’t appear too different from some of the previous armors, though there obviously are a few little new things. I’m guessing though, that there will be a whole bunch of brand new bells and whistles that Stark adds to his latest design, in what will probably be the armor he uses in Siege, Marvel’s latest big event. Anyway, I think it doesn’t look that new, maybe a little more glossy, but that’s about it.

MotoGP 21 is a motorcycle racing simulation game developed and published by Milestone Srl.
It is Milestone’s tenth official MotoGP game.
MotoGP 21 producer Matteo Pezzotti speaks with GamingBolt about Milestone's newest bike racing simulator.
"The console is indeed less powerful, but is was easy to manage through the downscale of the resolution," says Milestone's Matteo Pezzotti.
MotoGP 21 puts too much effort into things that don’t need it, and not enough into things that do. But thankfully, it still has the foundation of last year's game and a few meaningful tweaks to make...
Milestone's Matteo Pezzotti says the studio is "surprised by the smoothness" of Xbox Series S development.
Milestone shows a glimpse of the upcoming racing sim.
Milestone's racing sim will have a new Managerial Career mode this year.

Strawberries taste like summer, with a sweetness that gives me visions of green strawberry fields
With bright red gems glittering with the morning’s slowly dissipating fog
And fragile white, round-winged butterflies fluttering through the miles and miles of sweet strawberries.
Tasting a strawberry in the midst of a winter, I wonder how far we roam to find strawberries in a place so cold
Across the country, through the snow, to the other side of the world where it isn’t below zero
Or maybe just a little down south, where the porch is warm enough to languidly rock and watch the trucks drive by
Through day and night, to bring these strawberries out of the light and hope they survive.
A journey up the coast, to where the sun doesn’t shine and the earth is too cold for strawberries to grow
They taste like another place, or another time, as I’ve witnessed summer before with my own eyes:
It smells like the green leaves of the strawberry, tastes just as sweet and sounds like cicadas
Feels like sweat on my forehead, my bare feet on sand and a cool salty wind with an ocean wave cadence.
I wonder if strawberries in the winter taste just as nostalgic as pomegranates in the summer
To fully validate the irony in that I only miss one when I’m with the other.

5 Things Young Enterprise Students & SME’s Need To Know in Business
In business it’s great to be able to give something back, so when I was asked to take part in the Dragons Den event for Young Enterprise last week I knew I had to get involved.
Looking back to when I was at school, and even in further education at college & university, we literally were given no practical experience at all in business. Deep in theory and text books taught me well, but there’s no greater experience than setting up your own business where you risk your own money.
For that reason Young Enterprise is great – the Young Enterprise Students themselves had to legally set up a directorship and put the initial funds into the business to fund the shares. Even though for many it was as little as £25 it shows the value of money and the need to turn a profit on the investment
As you can see from the photo of the boardroom above, the experience was very much real life ,and the students faired well with some confident assured performances
What I found over 7 presentations on the day was the same business issues kept cropping up … and many of those crop up for SMEs as well
So part guide for future Young Enterprise students and part guide for SME’s, here are 5 things you should think about when setting up in Business
1. The Business Name Is Key and Sums Up Everything You Do
This might seem a strange one for a Social Media business called Altrincham HQ, but i’ll explain that later.
Think of the feel and tone of the business name and does it sum up what your business is about in either a direct name or the feeling it encapsulates.
One of the presentations on the day was of a cupcake company, which to myself auto-suggests light, fluffy, fun, but the business name the team chose suggested Business Coach or IFA. The product and the business name didn’t match and the jarring of the two led to mismatch of ideas
In these times, it’s also important that you can be found on google easily do research as to whether similar names currently exist
So why did I choose Altrincham HQ as a name for a Social Media company? The community is ingrained in everything I do and Altrincham as a town is reminiscent of many a small town trying to make the leap between the traditional and the modern world. I also wanted to separate myself from the franchised Social Media operates who all go under the “First Name / Last Name” Social Media banner and from a google perspective simply type in alex altrincham and see what comes up – even if you can’t remember the business name everybody remembers a first name and where i’m from?
Q: What is your favourite business name and why? Let us know below
2. Time and Profit – the 2 are interlinked
A lot of the Young Enterprise businesses were based around physical products to be sold at local markets and being their first time in business they didn’t link up time spent vs profit made
BUT it’s a mistake businesses with a lot of experience still make to date, in that they don’t track time spent on marketing or making a sale with the actual profit or return
How much time are you spending at networking meetings ? How much time are you spending on Social Media? What is the return per hour?
You’d be surprised how many businesses don’t track what is coming from where and how that impacts on the time vs profit and future marketing decisions
Q: What system do you have in place to track where business is coming from?
3. Thinking Outside Your Immediate Market
A lot of this comes with time as new market opportunities present themselves
Quite often it’s tempting to stay within your own comfort zone of who you know, the Young Enterprise teams for instance sold a lot to their peers and at school fete, but what’s interesting is looking at all the options available
When I sit down with a client for Social Media Training, the core of the training is based around the message delivered and who you deliver it to. We speak not just of current market demographics, but also of potential market demographics and it’s amazing how just sitting down for 10 minutes with somebody who has been in business for a decade plus has not thought of new opportunities
4. Long Term Commitment To Online Marketing
This was the big eye opener for me as this group were the generation who had grown up with Social Media and should have flourished with online marketing
But in all cases the teenagers displayed many of the attributes that the older generation have with Social Media
Often Twitter and Facebook accounts were set up, but when you look at said accounts – after the initial set up and flurry of activity, the marketing had ground to a halt
Social Media often works on a subliminal level with the drip drip drip effect (of course with real strategy and purpose) delivering the results and therefore long term engagement is needed
Don’t give up after the first attempt
Q: How long do you dedicate to social media each week? What results have you got via online?
5. Projection and Up-scaling Of The Business
This is the one big area that a lot of SME’s are guilty of, myself included, in that there’s no long term plan for upscaling the business
How do you take a business that you started because you were passionate about an idea you wanted to deliver yourself…how do you take that from just yourself or a small team to a much larger level where the business isn’t just about you
I spent a lot of time soul searching about this at the back end of last year, I read the E Myth and now have a greater idea of the structures I need to put in place to grow.
Q: Are you happy with business just being you or do you have a system in place to expand?
If you’re a Young Enterprise Team reading this – please pass on to your Business Teachers or Mentors
If you’re a business i’d love to chat further about how I can help market your business online – read the skinny below
Love to see your comments on the 5 points and question – if there’s anything to add it helps other SME’s and the next generation of business owners

March? Is it really about to be March?
The offseason is disappearing before our eyes, and we're less than three weeks away from the start to the new league year. That's the formal way of saying we're less than three weeks away from the start of free agency, and the Browns certainly figure to be involved in some way, shape or form.
How about a three-question Friday to cap February?
I see some very good D-line and LB prospects ranked between 20 and 30 in Daniel Jeremiah's 2.0 college prospect rankings, so I expect that the Browns could do well with one of those picks. However, do you think it would be worth it to move up six to eight spots to take safety Trevon Moehrig or are you confident that our safeties can do the job? What about safeties in free agency? — Bob K., Akron
Before we launch into this discussion, it's important to note one thing about these kinds of rankings, which are always excellent. This is Jeremiah ranking the players based on their overall ability and talent at their respective position. It's NOT the order in which he thinks they'll be drafted. So while Moehrig, the junior out of TCU, is his 16th overall player, it doesn't mean that's where he'll likely go in the draft. In fact, in our latest roundup of mock drafts, Moehrig isn't projected anywhere in the top 20 and some don't even have him landing with a team in the first round. So if these mocks are to be trusted — save your jokes — then a significant move up likely wouldn't be needed for Moehrig, whom Jeremiah and others consider to be the best safety in this year's draft.
As for the Browns' situation at safety, here's where it stands: Ronnie Harrison Jr. and Grant Delpit, who missed all of his rookie season with a torn Achilles, are slated to return. So, too, are Elijah Benton and Jovante Moffatt, both of whom saw minimal playing time after making the team as undrafted rookies. Veterans Karl Joseph and Andrew Sendejo, who collectively played a lot of football for the Browns in 2020, are poised to be free agents. If neither of those players return, that would make the team's safeties room one of the lightest on experience on the entire team.
Which brings us to this year's free agent class, which features some pretty big names. This comes with a caveat, though, because teams can utilize the franchise and transition tags over the next couple of weeks, meaning a number of big names on all of these very fun free agent ranking lists won't actually become free agents. Two of Pro Football Focus' top 10 free agents are safeties, as Justin Simmons (Broncos) and (Anthony Harris) check in at sixth and seventh, respectively. Marcus Williams (Saints), Marcus Maye (Jets) and John Johnson III (Rams) are also in the top 25. From there, it's a pretty big drop to the next cluster, which features Malik Hooker (Colts) at No. 69 and Keanu Neal (Falcons) at No. 72. Still, it's a pretty solid class the Browns can tap into if they choose to go down this path.
I think the Browns are set at WR and TE for next season regardless if any trades happen. I'm enamored with DPJ (Donovan Peoples-Jones) and his potential and believe he is at least a WR2 or better. Everyone I think knows what the Browns need: LB, CB, and just mainly defense in the draft. What position should the Browns focus on on Day 3 assuming the needs of LB, CB, and DT are drafted by then? — Donald V., Columbus
I like this question because it provides me with a great opportunity to promote the latest episode of "Best Podcast Available." While we didn't discuss this EXACT question, we had a discussion that touched on a similar line of thinking.
Most everyone agrees with your assessment about the defense, and I'm not sure any team can satisfy all of their needs at three different position groups on the first two days of the draft. That said, if we're eliminating defense from this scenario and focusing exclusively on the offense as the Browns head into Day 3 of the draft, the position I'll be watching closest is offensive tackle. Yes, the Browns addressed the position in a massive way last offseason with the free agent signing of Jack Conklin and first-round selection of Jedrick Wills Jr. And yes, the team is pretty set with its starters at both tackle positions. But as we saw last year, depth is so pivotal on the offensive line, and the Browns may not have achieved the results they did without the solid play they got from Chris Hubbard and Kendall Lamm when they were in a pinch at one or both of the positions. Lamm is the only member of the offensive line poised to hit free agency and Hubbard underwent knee surgery in late December. Alex Taylor, an undrafted rookie, made the active roster on a handful of occasions throughout the season but never played any offensive snaps. Simply put, there's no such thing as too many tackles.
There is an edge rusher who is between positions of DE and OLB at 6-foot-5, 260 pounds who played next to Levi Onwuzurike at the University of Washington named Joe Tryon who could fall to the Browns in the second round. He has great instincts and the skill set of Von Miller. How does he rank on the pro football pontificator's boards? — Rob M., Charleston, West Virginia
Tryon, like Onwuzurike, opted out of the 2020 season and announced he'd be entering the NFL Draft. He played two full seasons at Washington after redshirting his first year and, as a preseason first-team All-American, was poised to be one of college football's top players in 2020 before the pandemic. In 2019, he had eight sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss and earned second-team All-Pac 12 honors.
Here's what Jeremiah, who ranks Tryon as the No. 27 overall prospect in this year's draft, had to say about the talented pass rusher.
Tryon has an ideal frame/build for an edge rusher. His game is built on his strength and power more than his speed and agility. He has an average get-off as a pass rusher, but he has shock in his hands to jolt offensive tackles, separate and close on the quarterback. He has a nasty push/pull move and can shorten the edge by powering through the outside shoulder. He isn't bendy at the top of his rush due to some ankle tightness. His effort is exceptional. He dominated tight ends at the point of attack against the run and he can reset the line of scrimmage. Overall, Tryon plays with force and effort, which affects both the run and pass game. He can make an impact on all three downs and should get on the field right away for the team that drafts him.
Tryon has been projected to the Browns in the first round in a handful of mock drafts over the past few weeks. Based on our latest roundup, though, Tryon was projected as a first-rounder in just one of the mocks we found. That said, it's important to remember the Browns, because of all of their success in 2020, aren't picking until the bottom part of the second round. So even if Tryon makes it to the second round, there are A LOT of picks before the Browns get another chance to grab him barring some kind of trade.

A Chicago Public Schools teacher was charged with a list of sex crimes after being arrested Sunday for allegedly sexually abusing a former student in Skokie.
Jason P. Gil, 42, of Chicago, was charged Monday with felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, criminal sexual assault, solicitation to meet a child, solicitation of child pornography, possession of child pornography, distribution of harmful materials and grooming, according to Skokie police.
On Saturday, investigators learned that Gil had an “inappropriate relationship” with the 14-year-old girl, who lives in the northern suburb. Gil previously taught the girl at an unnamed CPS school, Skokie police said.
CPS spokeswoman Emily Bolton told the Sun-Times that Gil was a teacher at Thomas J. Waters Elementary School in the Ravenswood Gardens neighborhood. Bolton said Gil was relieved of his teaching duties following his arrest, noting that the district must conduct an investigation before dismissing him.
“Student safety is Chicago Public Schools’ highest priority and the district immediately removed the employee upon learning of deeply disturbing allegations,” Bolton said in a statement. “The Office of the Inspector General has launched an investigation and the district will not hesitate to terminate the employee should these allegations be substantiated.”
The district does not believe the allegations against Gil involve a current CPS student, according to the statement. However, officials committed to investigating potential allegations that involve a student who is currently enrolled at a CPS school.
In a message sent to parents Wednesday morning, Waters Elementary Principal Titia M. Kipp said crisis management teams would be at the school to “address student and staff concerns.”
Gil was taken into custody on Sunday, Skokie police said.
That morning, Gil was reported missing from his Belmont Gardens neighborhood home, according to a community alert from Chicago police.
About 1 p.m. Saturday, Gil drove off from his home in the 3000 block of North Kostner, Chicago police said in the alert. His vehicle was later found parked near the home about 4 a.m. Sunday, but Gil was nowhere to be found.
The alert was eventually canceled Monday morning after Gil was located, Chicago police said.
Gil was denied bail Tuesday during his initial court hearing, Skokie police said. He is being held for a bail review on Wednesday.
Anyone with information about the investigation should call Skokie police at (847) 982-5900.

Sometimes I just love a villain. It’s hard to find a villain that really grips me where I can’t wait for them to get their just dessert.
In no particular order here is a list of some of my favourite villains.
Alex is Angela Marsons Evil Games book. The choice for this one was simple she just had the image of a good girl but was a complete sociopath and used her skills against everyone.
Bertram from Caroline Mitchell Jennifer knight series. He gave me the creeps with his occult style ways.
Bob Meyers from In Plain Sight by MA Comley. This came from an amazing book so this villain had to be added.
The Escape Artist is the Deception Series by MA Comley and Linda Prather. Who wouldn’t want to see that idiot get what he has coming especially for what he did to the sister of Foxy.

I have driven the 6200 with a 173-series driver, probably earlier too,
considering that I set this system up 3+ years ago.

Perhaps you can use 173.x overscan capabilities with the 8400GS card? How about that for an idea worth trying?

* Ex-Japan Asian shares down 0.3 pct, Nikkei bounces back after Monday losses
* Oil prices elevated on deepening Iraq conflict
* Aussie dollar slips after dovish central bank minutes
* Indian rupee hits 7-week low, RBI steps in market
* European shares seen rising up to 0.3 pct
By Hideyuki Sano
TOKYO, June 17 (Reuters) - Most Asian stock markets fell on Tuesday as the deepening conflict in Iraq and a gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia sapped investors’ appetite for riskier assets.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan shed 0.3 percent. Japan’s Nikkei bucked the trend with rise of a 0.3 percent, though it was still down on the week so far.
European shares were expected to rise, buoyed by merger activity, with Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC 40 seen gaining up to 0.3 percent, after Wall Street shares eked out small gains.
Oil prices remained not far from nine-month highs after militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant seized a large swathe of northern Iraq and threatened to capture a key oil refinery.
The insurgent advance forced Washington to not only consider options for military action but also hold brief talks with Iran, its long-time foe, to support the besieged government in Baghdad.
Although hopes of more support for Baghdad helped U.S. crude futures edge down 0.3 percent to $106.54 per barrel, investors remain wary of potential disruptions to oil exports.
“The advance of extremists to Baghdad or bombing by U.S forces will be a trigger a rise in U.S. oil prices above $110. That would be a burden for the world economy in the near term,” said Daisuke Uno, chief strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
Higher energy costs are likely to curb growth in oil-importing economies, with the Indian rupee already falling victim to worries over rising inflation and a deterioration in the balance of payments.
The rupee dropped to seven-week low of 60.51 to the dollar , having fallen more than 2 percent in the past three sessions, at which point the Indian central bank started buying the rupee to stem its fall.
Tension in Ukraine showed no sign of abating as Russia cut off gas to Ukraine on Monday in a dispute over unpaid bills that could disrupt supplies to the rest of Europe and set back hopes for peace between the former Soviet neighbours.
As investor risk sentiment was hit, flight-to-quality bids underpinned U.S. Treasuries prices despite solid U.S. industrial output data on Monday.
The 10-year yield stood at 2.592 percent, off last week’s peak of 2.662 percent.
The immediate focus is on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy statement on Wednesday, when the U.S. central bank is expected to announce it will continue paring its bond purchase programme.
In the currency market, the Australian dollar slipped after minutes of the Australian central bank’s June 3 meeting were more dovish than expected.
The Aussie dipped 0.4 percent to $0.9361 as the minutes showed the Reserve Bank of Australia was not sure the current stimulus would be enough to offset a drag from falling mining investment and government belt-tightening.
The British pound held near a five-year high hit on Monday, maintaining momentum after Bank of England chief Mark Carney surprised markets last Thursday by suggesting the Bank of England may tighten its policy before year-end.
The pound stood at $1.6975, near Monday’s high of $1.7011, with close attention falling on consumer inflation data due later in the day given the focus on the BoE’s policy.
Elsewhere, Argentina’s Merval index fell 10.1 percent on Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the country’s appeal over its battle with hedge funds that refused to take part in its debt restructurings.
The move risks sending Argentina into a fresh sovereign default. (Editing by Eric Meijer & Kim Coghill)

Steve Bruce's side saw a bid for the Sheffield United defender rejected earlier this summer but he remains keen to get a deal done ahead of the 2014-15 seasonHull City manager Steve Bruce remains hopeful of securing Sheffield United defender Harry Maguire's signature.
|HULL CITY LATEST
|13/5||Hull are 13/5 with Bet365 to be relegated|
Bruce saw Maguire's talents first-hand last season as Hull overcame Sheffield United 5-3 in their memorable FA Cup semi-final clash.
And the former Manchester United centre-back has been suitably impressed by the one-time England Under-21 international.
Bruce told The Hull Daily Mail: "We like him. We tabled a bid which was rejected. I think we'll revisit it.
"We've watched him a lot over the last year and he's someone we've got an interest in. Let's see if we can get a deal done.
"There's a cap on how far we'll be prepared to go but that's the same for any player.
"I'm all for young British players and trying to give them a chance but with that comes a huge premium.
"In the old days you could get a League One player for £200,000. That's not the case anymore."

For women opting for the right nutrition is essential. This is also important to prepare the body and support it as it is transforming through the hormonal changes that it experiences all through the life. Every woman goes through life stages in which her body changes. These changes of adolescence, menarche, pregnancy, and menopause can impact the health of women. Hence it is important that women follow few healthy tips and exercise routines to ensure that they are fit.
Maintain Regularity in Your Routine
Our body can adapt to change but it has its own biological clock which is adapted to our daily routine. Regularity in maintaining your routine provides you a certain advantage. Opt for a good sleep time, and always have at least three proper meals in a day. People who suffer from constipation or sleeplessness are often those who lack routine in their life.
Eat but Do Not Overeat
Eat three to four meals a day and at each meal eat well but do not overeat. Take three major meals- add two small meals or snacks to your diet. Avoid eating while watching TV, talking or reading as they can result in overeating. Many readers must have experienced overeating during a buffet dinner. Overeating, even if a little can lead to obesity in the long run.
Avoid Excessive Salt and Spices
Anything that is done in moderation cannot harm the body, but a slight excess every day can be harmful to the body in the long run. A simple example is a salt, a substance whose daily intake varies from person to person. Salt contains large amounts of sodium must be carefully handled, more so by people who have a tendency towards high pressure. Table salt is the main source of sodium. In order to avoid consuming too much sodium, a small amount of salt should be used while cooking and only a little salt may be used at the table. Foods which are highly salted are salted peanuts, potato chips, potato wafers, and salted popcorn, masala, pickles, cheese, tomato sauce, ketchup, soya sauce. It is necessary to read the food labels carefully before consuming processed foods.
One can learn to enjoy the flavor of foods without salt by discrete use of lime juice, black pepper powder, coriander, etc. Very spicy foods must be avoided since they are harmful to the delicate lining of the gastrointestinal tract.
Eat food which contains adequate carbohydrates – Especially Starch and Fibre
Consumption of complex carbohydrates, such as starch present in cereals, is more advisable than that of the simpler sugars found in honey, fruits table sugar and milk. This is because the digestion of the complex sugars is relatively slower than that of the simpler ones. Starches can be substituted for fats and sugars, and foods that are a rich source of fiber, such as whole grain cereals, green leafy vegetables, pulses, and legumes, should be included in the diet. The fibre in the diet lowers blood cholesterol. Avoidance of fiber or consumption of a fiber – free diet has proved to be a definite cause of the rectal disorder, poor bowel habits, colon cancer and chronic constipation.
Avoid foods that contain large amounts of fat, cholesterol, and saturated fats
This can be achieved by eating moderately. Foods rich in cholesterol, such as meat, fish, poultry, organ meat and eggs, vegetable oil may be used. Controlled consumption of meat prepared in pure ghee, butter and vanaspati are necessary. It is essential to restrict consumption of fried foods and high sugar foods. Only moderate consumption of these foods is the key to good health.
Avoid a monotonous diet-eat a variety of foods
Most foods contain several nutrients, but no single food provides nutrients in the right quantity for good health.e.g milk is the complete food yet it is a poor source of iron and vitamin c, so it is necessary to include citrus fruit which is a rich source of vitamin c. This is not sufficient as it does not provide sufficient iron; hence supplementation of diet with leafy vegetables is important. This example only goes to show that more the variety of foods in the diet, the better is the nutritional value and lesser is the chance of nutritional deficiency. The following major food groups may be used as a guide for selecting at least one food from each group:
- Milk, Dalmeat, Fish, Eggs
- Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
- Cereals and Cereals Products
- Oils, Fats, Sugar and Jaggery

Raise Your Voice to Keep Infant Formula Marketing Out of Hospitals
Writing an Op-Ed
1. Find a news hook. You can have a great topic for your op-ed, but if it doesn’t relate to the current news, editors won’t pick it to be published. If your local newspaper recently ran a story on the letter Public Citizen and cosigning organizations sent to your local hospital, you’ve got a great starting point. But even if your paper hasn’t covered the campaign directly, you can make connections between formula marketing and current events in a variety of ways. Here are some examples:
- Recent health and nutrition news: Review the health risks of not breastfeeding (see fact sheet) and connect those with recent news stories. For example, obesity is often in the news, and we know formula feeding increases the risks of obesity in children. Or, you may want to link your op-ed to recent nutrition studies or recommendations, even if they aren’t related to infant formula. (i.e. “We’ve heard a lot lately about the best foods for adults to eat. A common hospital practice here in (town x) may be making it harder to provide babies with the best food they can get…”
Commercialism news: Pick up on recent stories about excessive advertising and marketing in our culture and tie formula marketing to this phenomenon.
- Parenting news: Situate your op-ed in the context of stories about the challenges parents face — your op-ed highlights a practice that interferes with parents’ feeding their children in the best way possible.
- Corporate malfeasance news: Tie your op-ed to news about corporations failing to act responsibly, hindering the public good, or interfering with public health goals.
2. Make it personal. Your personal stories about infant formula marketing are particularly powerful tools. Use them! Whether your received a formula sample in hospital and used it, came close to using it, refused to bring it home with you, etc. your personal story helps readers understand why the issue is important. It may be useful to situate your experience of receiving a formula sample in the wider context of available supports for breastfeeding. For example, combined with the lack of guidance about breastfeeding that you received in the hospital, was it even harder to resist the allure of the formula sample when you (or your partner) were struggling in your first few days at home? Putting this issue in the larger picture of institutional support for breastfeeding can help show how it is connected to a bigger public health issue. Maybe you couldn’t or chose not to breastfeed; your piece can be just as effective at highlighting the ethical failings of marketing infant formula in hospitals. Supportive perspectives of formula-feeding families can be particularly helpful in conveying to readers that this campaign is not about pitting individual family’s feeding decisions against one another — it’s about the actions of formula companies and hospitals’ policies.
3. Pick a target paper. Look at the op-ed pages of some papers that you would like to see your op-ed in. Do they accept op-eds from readers? What tone do those take and what sort of topics are they interested in? How long are they? Your local paper may not have as big a readership as The New York Times, but it may be eager to publish an op-ed with a local focus by a local author. Pick a first choice paper and tailor your op-ed to it.
4. Pitch it. Find your target paper’s op-ed submission information on the paper’s website. Send your op-ed in the body of an email, and include a brief note at the top explaining the context for your op-ed and providing your contact information. If you don’t hear back from the editors in a couple of days, send them another note or call the editorial department to follow up. If your first choice paper doesn’t accept it, don’t give up! Pick your second choice paper and try again.
5. Share it. Once it’s published, send your op-ed to friends, families, bloggers you now, and organizations working on the issue. Use social media to promote it. Make sure it’s read and noticed!
Writing a Letter to the Editor
Instead of writing a full op-ed, you might want to respond to news article or another person's op-ed with a letter to the editor. Here are some tips for your letter:
Be timely. Email your letter within a day or two of the article you’re responding to being published. Ideally, send it later on the same day.
Be brief. Stay within the word limit for letters to the paper, but if you can say your piece in even fewer words, do it.
Be surprising. The best letters to the editor make readers look at an issue in a new way — introduce interesting facts that weren’t in the paper’s coverage of the issue, or look at the same facts from a different angle.
Note: Public Citizen would like to acknowledge People for the American Way’s contributions to the instructions above.

Bear vs. Purple Mattress Comparison 2021Updated on March 10, 2021 While all product recommendations are chosen independently, we may receive compensation for purchases made through our site. Learn more about how we make money here.
The Bear mattress and the Purple mattress are both all-foam mattresses that aim to use technologically-advanced materials to promote a better night’s sleep. Both mattresses are sold online and ship compressed for convenience. Both Bear and Purple introduced their flagship mattresses in 2015.
Bear and Purple each offer multiple mattresses including hybrid options. This comparison will focus on the flagship all-foam mattresses offered by each company. Bear produces the Bear mattress and the Bear Hybrid mattress. This comparison will focus exclusively on the Bear mattress. Purple produces the Purple Mattress, the Purple Hybrid, and the Purple Hybrid Premier. The following comparison will focus on the the company’s flagship offering, the Purple Mattress.
While deciding between the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress may be challenging, comparing the mattresses on construction, firmness, sleep experience, and product information may help you make the decision that’s best for your needs and preferences.
Mattress Construction Comparison
The Bear mattress is a 10-inch mattress that is constructed of three foam layers. Each layer serves a specific purpose, and the layers combine to offer cooling, contouring, pressure relief, support, and durability.
The Bear mattress’s comfort layer is 1 inch of 4 pounds per cubic foot (PCF) graphite-gel memory foam. Memory foam is known for its contouring, while the graphite-gel composition is intended to disperse excess body heat.
The transition layer of the mattress uses two pieces of 3 PCF responsive polyfoam to offer pressure relief and support. This layer totals 2.5 inches. The base layer of the Bear mattress uses 6.5 inches of 1.8 PCF support foam to provide durability.
The Bear mattress’s cover is composed of Celliant fabric. This high-tech material is designed to recycle the body’s natural energy. It is purported to improve athletic performance, promote higher quality sleep, and improve overall wellness.
The Purple mattress is 9.5 inches tall. It is constructed of three foam layers designed to promote airflow, provide contouring, offer pressure relief, isolate motion, and provide structural support.
The top layer of the mattress is Purple’s proprietary Purple Grid. This 2-inch thick layer of Hyper-Elastic Polymer uses a unique grid formation. It is designed to be responsive, softening under your shoulders and hips while supporting your body for proper spinal alignment. The grid design also allows for airflow and isolates motion.
The next layer is composed of 3.5 inches of polyfoam with a density of 1.8 PCF. This layer is designed to provide additional responsiveness. The final layer uses 4 inches of support polyfoam with a density of 2 PCF to provide the structural support the mattress needs.
The mattress cover uses a stretchy, knit fabric composed of viscose, polyester, and lycra. The cover is designed to bend with the Purple Grid while allowing airflow.
Firmness may be the main criteria that determine whether or not a mattress will be comfortable for you and how well it will promote spinal alignment. Firmness refers to the overall softness or hardness of the mattress.
A 10-point scale is commonly used to rate firmness. A 1 refers to the softest, plushest possible mattress. Think of it as sleeping on a cloud. A 10 refers to the firmest mattress imaginable.
There is no “correct” firmness for a mattress. Instead, firmness is a matter of personal preference. Most people find a firmness between 5-6 acceptable. However, sleepers over 230 pounds may benefit from a firmer option, while sleepers under 130 pounds may prefer a softer option.
The Bear mattress ranks around 7 on the firmness scale. This means it may be considered a medium-firm or firm mattress. While this level of firmness may be slightly greater than many sleepers prefer, stomach sleepers and sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds may benefit from this firmness since it will prevent them from sinking in too deeply. However, the firmness could be problematic for sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds, who may not sink in enough to promote alignment.
The Purple mattress is a medium-firm mattress. It ranks around a 6 on the firmness scale. This falls comfortably into the most popular firmness range, so the Purple mattress may appeal to a wider variety of sleepers.
Both the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress offer innovative designs that aim to improve the overall sleep experience. However, the two mattresses vary on temperature control, motion transfer, responsiveness, resilience and bounce, edge support, and off-gassing. While they may be similar in some areas, assessing the differences may help you determine which option is best for you.
Heat retention can be a problem with some all-foam mattresses. However, both the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress offer adaptations that help them sleep cooler.
The Bear mattress uses a Celliant cover, which is more breathable than most fabrics. The layer of graphite-gel memory foam is designed to pull unwanted heat away from your body. Since the Bear mattress is firmer than many mattresses, it also prevents excessive sinking, so it shouldn’t hug the body enough to trap a lot of heat. The Purple mattress’s grid comfort system allows airflow to promote a cooler night’s sleep.
While both mattresses use different methods, either mattress should offer enough heat dispersal to keep you comfortable throughout the night.
When your partner moves and you feel that movement across the surface of the bed, you’re experiencing motion transfer.
Both the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress are composed entirely of foam. Foam mattresses traditionally do an exceptional job isolating motion, and the Bear and the Purple mattresses are no exceptions. Since the foam can absorb motion, you might not even notice if your partner is tossing and turning during the night.
Responsiveness refers to how a mattress contours to the shape of your body to provide pressure relief and promote alignment. A responsive mattress should allow your heavier areas (your hips and shoulders) to sink in, thereby promoting proper spinal alignment.
The Bear mattress’s 1-inch thick comfort layer of graphite-gel memory foam paired with the 2.5-inch polyfoam transition layer can offer pressure relief and support.
The Purple mattress provides contouring through the 2-inch Purple Grid and a 3.5-inch layer of responsive polyfoam.
While both mattresses may provide enough responsiveness to promote comfort and alignment, the Purple may have a slight edge. In total, 5.5 inches of the Purple mattress are designed to provide contouring, while 3.5 inches of the Bear mattress focus on contouring. The Purple’s thicker layers that aim to provide contouring may allow for greater responsiveness and pressure point relief.
Resilience and Bounce
Resilience refers to how quickly a mattress regains its shape after pressure is removed. When a mattress regains its shape quickly, that trait is referred to as “bounce.” Mattresses with resilience and bounce may make it easier to change sleep positions during the night and engage in sexual activity.
Since all-foam mattresses are designed to mold to the body and absorb motion, they do not traditionally offer as much resilience and bounce as hybrid or innerspring mattresses. As is common with foam mattresses, neither the Bear mattress nor the Purple mattress provides a lot of resilience of bounce. However, the Hyper-Elastic Polymer used in the Purple Grid should rebound more quickly than memory foam, so the Purple mattress is slightly more resilient than the Bear mattress.
Reinforced edges can help create better edge support, allowing you to sit or sleep close to the edge of the bed without the mattress compressing too much and feeling unstable.
Foam mattresses do not traditionally offer reinforced edges, so they do not provide as much edge support as innerspring or hybrid mattresses. Like other foam mattresses, the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress lack reinforced edges, which may make it harder to sit on or sleep near the edge.
Off-gassing and Smell
When first unboxed, foam mattresses often emit a slight odor. While off-gassing is not harmful, some may find it offensive at first. As with other foam mattresses, both the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress may initially let off an odor. However, this odor should dissipate within a few hours to a few days if the mattress is left in a well-ventilated room.
Shipping, Trial, Warranty, and Returns
While the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress are nearly identical in their shipping policies, return policies, trial length, and warranty length, it is important to be aware of these factors when selecting your mattress.
|How is it shipped?||Bed-in-a-box||Bed-in-a-box|
|Old mattress removal?||At additional cost||No|
|Sleep trial length||100 nights; break-in period of 30 nights||100 nights; break-in period of 21 nights|
|Return cost and process||No cost; company picks up||No cost; company picks up|
|Warranty length||10 years||10 years|
Prices, Sizes, and Value
As with any big purchase, the price may be a determining factor in selecting which mattress is right for you. Here is how the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress compare on price.
The Purple mattress is more expensive than the Bear mattress across all mattress sizes. While the price differences between the twin and twin XL sizes may be relatively insignificant, the price differences grow as the mattress sizes increase. The king and California king sizes of the Purple mattress cost over $500 more than the Bear mattress, which is a significant price difference.
Bear frequently offers discount codes and promotions, which can make the price difference between the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress even greater. Purple frequently offers a free additional product with your mattress purchase, so you might be able to get a free pillow or sheet set. However, Purple doesn’t offer discounts on mattresses themselves very often.
Either mattress could constitute a good value depending on what you’re looking for. However, the Bear mattress is significantly cheaper.
Bear Mattress vs. Purple Mattress – Which One Should You Buy?
With so many factors to take into account, deciding between the Bear mattress and the Purple mattress can be challenging. While the mattresses are similar in some ways, key differences may play a major role in which mattress is better for you. We’ve compiled a list of some of the key differentiators to help make your choice easier.
Buy the Bear mattress if you:
- Want to try Celliant fabric: The Bear mattress is one of a handful of mattresses using Celliant fabric. Celliant fabric is a technologically advanced textile intended to promote better sleep, aid recovery, and improve overall wellness by recycling the body’s natural energy.
- Want a firm mattress: Most mattresses on the market aim to be closer to the middle of the firmness range. If you prefer a firmer mattress, weigh over 230 pounds, or sleep on your stomach, the Bear mattress may be able to provide what you’re looking for.
- Want a more affordable option: The Bear mattress is significantly cheaper than the Purple mattress. In some sizes, you may save over $500 if you choose a Bear mattress over a Purple mattress.
Buy the Purple mattress if you:
- Want to try the Purple Grid: The Purple mattress’s proprietary Purple Grid layer is unique and innovative. If you want to test out this new mattress technology, the Purple is a good option.
- Have sharp pressure points: The Purple mattress is designed to offer exceptional responsiveness, which can relieve pressure and proper alignment.
- Want more resilience: The Hyper-Elastic Polymer used in the Purple mattress comfort system is springier than memory foam. If you value resilience and bounce, the Purple mattress may be preferable to the Bear mattress.
Both Purple and Bear have made a name for themselves by selling bed-in-a-box mattresses online. The Bear mattress and the Purple mattress have a lot in common. Both are constructed of foam, and both use innovative technologies to provide a better night’s sleep. The Bear mattress uses Celliant fabric, while the Purple mattress uses its proprietary Purple Grid.
While the two mattresses share many similarities, there are also some notable differences. Each mattress may be an ideal option for some sleepers. To choose the best mattress for you, you’ll need to assess your needs and preferences and compare them to what each mattress offers.

Posted on March 9, 2016
There are a plethora of infectious disease (ID) stories in the news that can have important medical consequences. John G. Bartlett, MD offers his observations on the top 10 most important infectious disease stories in 2015, as reported in Medscape Infectious Diseases:1
1. Antimicrobial Stewardship
A major concern in the ID world is the threat of a “post-antibiotic era” reflecting the loss of one medicine’s greatest achievement: the use of antibiotics to treat and prevent microbial infections. We were forewarned in 2004 with a publication entitled “Bad Bugs Need Drugs”2 and by 2015 it was considered a crisis by many organizations.
New regulations to be implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will affect nearly all antibiotic prescribers in the United States by requiring healthcare facilities to have an antibiotic stewardship program as a condition of participation. After extensive conversations and data generation on the consequences of antibiotic abuse, 2015 brought a program with enough clout to influence the majority of antibiotic prescribers (and healthcare facilities) in a fashion similar to the requirements for infection control.
2. New Antibiotics
One of the cogs in the wheel of antibiotic resistance is the scarcity of new antibiotics to deal with the tenet of “use it and lose it.” There is a financial risk associated with developing new antibiotics, especially since they are used for a short time, compared to drugs, like statins, that are taken for a lifetime.
From 1983 to 1987, a total of 16 new antibiotics were approved, compared with just one new agent from 2008 to 2012. However, from 2013 to 2015, six new antibiotics have been approved: three anti-staphylococcal drugs, two drugs for resistant gram-negative bacilli, and one agent for Clostridium difficile.
At least two findings were revealed with the Ebola situation:
The first report4 from Zaire in 1976 showed a high mortality rate, lack of treatment, and a high risk of transmission to healthcare providers. What was not recognized then but came out in 2015 was the existence of “sanctuary sites” with viral persistence (aqueous humor, semen, breastmilk, vaginal secretions), the potential for sexual transmission, and relapse after apparent recovery.
The world was caught by surprise – we need to be better prepared for earlier detection of unusual and potentially devastating infections, as seen with severe acute respiratory syndrome, swine flu, HIV, and anthrax (2001).5
4. Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Conventional wisdom assumed that Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common pathogen in CAP and “atypical agents” were the second most. However, a report6 published in 2015 by CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) concluded that S. pneumoniae accounted for only 5% of cases and the three atypicals (Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae) accounted for only 4%. What are the other causative agents then? On a positive note, the study had strong data from the CMS database on CAP to assist with antibiotic prescribing.
5. Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) for HIV Infection
There were two schools of thought for starting ART: ART for all HIV infected patients regardless of CD4 count or viral load, or restrict ART to patients with CD4 counts < 350 cells/?L.
A large study was initiated (START trial7) – early findings showed a striking mortality benefit and reduction in complications by treating all HIV patients, regardless of CD4 count. Now WHO and mostly all HIV guidelines worldwide recommend ART for everyone with HIV infection.
6. Stool Transplant for C. difficile
Treatment of relapsing C. difficile infection with stool transplants actually began in 1980 but was not routinely used until the last 2 to 3 years. This practice represents the first important clinical application of the rapidly changing field of the human microbiome.
Results from 7,114 transplants show a response rate of 86%. Although still early, stool transplants could have broader implications with other medical conditions.
7. Hepatitis C Infection
It is rare that such a significant viral illness has been potentially defeated so quickly. It is estimated that there are 453,000 people in the United States infected with HCV and 130-175 million worldwide.8 Cure rates of over 95% have been seen with oral agents administered for 8 weeks.
The major controversy now is the cost of these medications, many patients with HCV infection cannot afford them. These drugs may be cost-effective by preventing the need for liver transplants and other medical comorbidities but who will pay the upfront cost.
8. C. difficile Infection (CDI)
CDI may be the highest priority for the CDC in 2016. In 2015 there were 354,000 cases of and 29,000 deaths from CDI, at a cost of about $1,200,000,000 in the United States.9
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is the most sensitive test for detecting C. difficile but a positive test result needs clinical correlation before treatment is initiated, since hospitalized patients may be carriers and not infected. The United Kingdom reduced their CDI rates by 80%, using gene sequencing to alert infection control and controlling antibiotics.
9. Molecular Diagnostics in the field of ID
New data and tests are constantly being developed. Molecular testing can detect pathogens quicker and more accurately, be used in outbreaks to link cases and sources, and trace transmission routes of the carbapenemase-producing gram-negative rods at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, among many other applications.
It is thought that the microbiology lab of the future may resemble a chemistry lab. Although the potential uses for this technology are exciting, they are also expensive, there is not enough sensitivity data, not all pathogens can be identified, and pathogen vs contaminant is not possible with quantitation.
Medical management with antibiotics may work as well or better than surgery for acute appendicitis.10
Varicella-zoster has been implicated in giant-cell arteritis.11
Fusobacterium necrophorum may be an important possible cause of pharyngitis, found by Robert M. Centor and colleagues.12
I wonder what we will be talking about this time next year! Some may still be in the list, others may not. What about Lyme disease? Several comments to the article wondered why Lyme was left out since 300,000 cases were reported in 2015. How about Zika virus, surely that will still be a hot topic by the end of the year. Any other opinions?

In high school, I laughed too loud and too long. Shushed a thousand times, I never realized how annoying I was until our French class videotaped a comic recital. When we re-watched it after school, my lusty guffaws drown out the players on stage. My whole body blushed. Adding to my mortification, our teacher, Ms. Lucia, commented, “And here is Lori laughing…”
She did not say this in a jovial manner, to ease my embarrassment. She sounded defeated, sad for me, as if my laughter was a sign of incurable illness or impending disaster.
This hurt. I thought Ms. Lucia enjoyed my good spirits. Afterall, I spent hours writing comical journals and assignments for class. Classmates encouraged my boisterous antics and skits. I longed to be her favorite! But that honor went to another. Michelle. Plop a Tonya Harding haircut on Snow White, add mom jeans and a Peter Pan collar and you have Michelle. Starched and stalwart, her seriousness contrasted sharply with my over the top exuberance. If I sat next to her, she scooted her erasers and highlighters opposite me. (I was in the habit of transforming them into smiley faces mid-lesson). She stifled her discomfort but eventually, I felt it–an electric current of stay away.
We did not begin as adversaries. French class meant the world to me and I liked Michelle. She worked hard for every quiz, test, and assignment. I, however, aced exams and sailed through lessons with barely a glance at the material.
Since routine classwork bored me, I created little narratives. I never handed in six-sentence verb exercises or blasé paragraphs about the library. Instead, I illustrated three-page epics replete with new vocabulary and painstakingly researched grammar. My teacher commended my stories, but since I took my time handing them in, I seldom got credit.
Michelle, however, was always on time. She completed assignments as instructed, in neat and precise handwriting. I worked, when and how it suited me. Below average grades on my late masterpieces didn’t matter because I enjoyed writing them. Michelle worked with daily determination for good grades. She was the ant, and I was the grasshopper, except winter never came.
My senior year showed me where I stood with Ms. Lucia. Without enough students for a French III class, the ambitious could petition to study an extra year under her guidance. Michelle was accepted, and I was not. When I made a fuss, Ms. Lucia handed me a book and told me to study on my own during a free period. Without support, I drifted away. Decades have passed, but her rejection still visits me. In dreams, I sit forever alone before an open textbook, sad, bored, and failing French III.
Twice-exceptional* students struggle with rote and repetitive class work. This grind is hard in a non-intellectual way. Results seem so distant that it feels like climbing an endless stairway to a pointless destination. Just sitting still was an effort for me, so I respected Michelle’s tenacity as she hauled herself up each long and boring step. I managed by completing projects with a flourish. Unfortunately, the world finds flourishes less valuable than deadlines, so I’ve failed plenty of courses. Every time, the recipe was the same–I mired myself in interesting tangents and details while neglecting routine assignments. Somehow, I skipped over skills that others had been building since kindergarten.
I’d like to change the past–but not to improve my grade. I want to go back for Michelle. She never realized that I equated her between-class studiousness with my story-writing industriousness. We both worked hard for French and thus, were sisters. I tried my awkward best to be friendly, to make her smile, but somehow I managed to only alienate her further. The more I bumbled, the more anxious I became. Anxiety fueled future stupid and off-putting behavior, to my eternal chagrin. Friendship isn’t something Michelle owed me, but if she understood that my behavior was neurological and not conceit or ridicule, my heart would be at ease.
In retrospect, I wonder if Ms. Lucia was worthy of the affection I held for her. She could have spoken kindly to me about my unintended laugh track. She could have sat me further from the microphone. She could have paired me with Michelle instead of setting me adrift in an empty classroom. Michelle and I could have collaborated and emerged twice as capable. Come to think of it, Ms. Lucia’s every wince, sigh, and impatient gesture taught students like Michelle that I was somehow less-than.
Fortunately, the “needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”educational philosophy of the 80s is vanishing. Feeling less-than, unliked, and discarded can haunt students well beyond grade school. I am grateful my son’s school has a progressive and positive atmosphere. When his neurology kicks into overdrive, his teachers support him and set a strong example of acceptance. As I write, he has found his own Michelle, and I cannot wait to see what they create together.
*My exceptionalities are autism and Tourette’s syndrome

I have been resting this week, but I have been stitching. I definitely did more, last week, then I have all year, lol.
This week I received a wonderful prize, that I won in a giveaway from Barbie Jo, of Cleo and Me. I won a wonderful pillow that she made, with a kitty theme, isn't is adorable, I love it! I am thinking I need to redecorate my office with fun kitties. I haven't been using the room lately, but I do need a computer space and it has a chaise, so it would be a good place for me to relax and create. I think a room filled with kitty decor would be a fun place to do that.
Be sure to visit Cleo and Me, there are a lot of fun patterns for all types of sewing and punch needle.
The fabrics she used, look so wonderful with the stitchery.
On the sewing front, I have been working on my americana quilt. The main fabrics are from Barbara Brackman's 1862 Battle Hymn line. The shirtings are from different lines. I decided to add a little appliqué, but I wanted it simple. Barbara and I had talked about doing a quilt that we liked, which had appliqué circles on it, so I thought I would try it on this piece. I added an extra round of shirting and now I am using the jelly roll in a hit and miss border, around that. I will add one more row in a darker color for the binding. So, what do you think?

What are some tactics to safely cross the Animated Forest in ADOM? I've got a level 9 troll barbarian with 44/26 DV/PV, and controlled teleportation but no way to teleport.
For a melee-focused non-caster, the easiest strategy is to set your defensive tactics to Coward and rest in place until you get a chance to move between the trees. It's very tedious and there's always the possibility that they'll gang up on you for no reason, but it's doable.
Go through the Dwarven Halls instead. Go far, go fast, and don't slow down for any monster!
(I realize this doesn't answer your question, but whenever I try walking through the Animated Forest, I end up fighting some trees. Either some fraction of them are hostile, or I'm clumsy; could be either. And once you start fighting trees, you can't stop, because fighting the hostile trees angers the non-hostile trees - and it's hard to tell which ones are hostile, from the up-to-eight trees surrounding you. Plus, trees spawn with time, so the level will eventually end up either impassable or violently logged.)
Equip two shields and just hold down in the direction you wish to go. The Dwarven Halls can generate some really scary monsters. The forest is much safer.
Alex's answer is a good one, but I'd like to expand slightly to explain why it works and what to do in some edge cases.
As Alex suggested, the safest way to pass the Animated Forest (by conventional means, anyways) is to equip two tower shields and set tactics to Coward. This works because, by equipping two shields, you will no longer auto-attack the neutral trees if you bump into them. Note that there is no confirmation of whether you actually want to attack when bumping into trees - you will just swing your sword. With two shields, however, this is disabled, as you cannot attack with a shield.
Coward mode grants extra defensive protection, to help you survive the rare hostile tree or other beastie that spawns. Fortunately, there will not be a lot of either of these, as the trees tend to squash anything hostile to them, which is most spawns.
As for movement: Patience. Wait in place until you have a move you can take. I suggest moving any time you have a chance to move in the general direction of the stairs you want, and AVOID THE WALLS if possible, as it is easy to get trapped there. You will occasionally find yourself trapped - cornered against a wall or simply surrounded in the open. Most of the time you can just wait a few turns and then move, but over time you will collect an entourage of hostile trees. If they get too numerous, you'll have to pull out a sword and kill a couple, otherwise you will find yourself completely trapped and unable to move as hostile trees will never move away from you. Just be careful - don't upset trees you don't need to.
Lastly, food is a major concern here, as it takes a long time to cross the forest, so bring extra.

You Will Need
Large Non-Stick Pan
Before You Cook
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
Seafood 145° F |
Chicken 165° F |
Ground Beef 160° F |
Ground Turkey 165° F |
Ground Pork 160° F
Cook the Rice
Bring a small pot with jasmine rice and 1 ½ cups water to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 20 minutes. Remove from heat, rest 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Prepare the Snapper
Rinse snapper and pat dry. Using your sharpest knife, cut small slits in the skin ¼" apart and 1/8" deep perpendicular to its length. Season snapper lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, coat both sides generously with rice flour and shake off excess. Place on a plate and refrigerate.
Prepare the Ingredients
Trim ends from bok choy. Halve bok choy lengthwise. Cut mushrooms into ¼" slices. Mince half the pickled ginger (reserving remaining for later). Trim and halve white parts of green onions lengthwise, then slice into long, thin strips. Thinly slice green parts of green onions on an angle. Thinly slice Fresno chile on an angle. Combine mirin, rice vinegar, and minced pickled ginger in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Vegetables
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Place bok choy in pan cut side down, and pour mushrooms over them. After 2-3 minutes cooking undisturbed, flip bok choy and stir mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, add 2 tsp. water, and cover. Lower heat to medium and cook 3-4 minutes, until bok choy is tender. Remove to a plate or bowl and set aside. Wipe pan clean.
Cook the Snapper
Place pan from previous step over medium-high heat. Add 4 Tbsp. olive oil into hot pan. Place snapper in pan, skin-side down. Using a spatula, gently press the fillets down for 30 seconds to 1 minute to help keep them flat. Cook undisturbed 4-6 minutes until top is golden brown and very crispy. Gently flip and cook 3-4 minutes or until fish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees and the bottom is lightly browned and crispy. _If your pan cannot accommodate both fillets, cook one at a time in 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Place snapper on a towel-lined plate to rest 1-2 minutes, then serve immediately.
Plate the Dish
Add a pinch of green part of green onion to pickled ginger vinaigrette. Place a mound of rice on each plate along with bok choy and mushrooms. Garnish vegetables with remaining pickled ginger. Place snapper up against vegetables. Top each snapper with shredded carrot, white part of green onion, and Fresno chiles to taste. Spoon a little vinaigrette over shredded vegetables and around fish. Garnish everything with remaining green onions.

I have always loved making a difference in peoples' lives both by giving direction and by setting a good example of what a healthy lifestyle involves. I lead by example. I work out at the gym daily and often see my patients working out next to me. I rarely use prescription medications. I recommend the same for my patients and only prescribe medication when necessary.
I value listening to my patients' concerns and helping them find solutions to a healthier, happy life. As an alternative to prescription drugs, I suggest complementary medicine and approach everyone's care in a holistic manner to find root causes. I give my patients the tools they need to succeed and encourage everyone to eat healthy meals and stay active.
Science was always an interest of mine and I knew that I wanted to spend my life making a difference. Initially I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I changed my mind because animals bite and are short on conversation! Instead, I decided a Doctor of Osteopathic medicine would be a better fit. I spent my medical school years in Iowa and traveled around the West Coast. After visiting Oregon one summer, my wife and I decided that this was the perfect place to raise our children and I've never looked back. Family medicine was the perfect match offering the diversity of ages and stages that fueled my passion for caring for people. I take care of families from birth to the end of life; often taking care of multigenerational families.
When my career began, I specialized in obstetric care and found delivering babies and caring for new mothers' very rewarding. As life changed, my direction has also changed from new mothers and newborns to the opposite end of life's spectrum. In my practice I am seeing a growing trend in an increase in people caring for their aging parents. My challenge is to try to ease the burden on these caretakers who watch helplessly as this difficult process unfolds and at the same time assist the person with declining health leave their physical body with dignity. I work to ease the burden and promote support by bringing family members together. I am working closely with hospice and will be helping to educate others about this time of life.
Family is important. I grew up in the hustle and bustle of the East Coast with family and extended family all around and listening to my grandmother's favorite Yiddish phrases. We now have 5 children of our own who span a wide range of ages with the typical joys and challenges. My biggest joy is watching families grow and change.
In off hours, you can find me enjoying my family, hikes, and books that give me the opportunity to explore. At some point in my life I would like to travel and spend a few years in Israel as I have done in the past.

From the creator of the popular 300 Guitars website comes a new E-book that perhaps every guitar player should have.
This is one thick “E-book”. How about 46 pages of knowledge, packed with great images, relevant video links, and so, so much more!
However, before I take you any further, perhaps I should explain both “who is Billy Penn”, and “why it is that we should we take his advice?”.
In Billy’s own words and with paraphrasing too…….
“I began my career as a guitar (and amplifier) tech out of necessity and pure love for the instrument. As far back as I can remember I was always interested in how things worked, came apart and went back together………..
Around the age of 19 I got a job at Kramer Guitars in the stock room which was right next to the repair department. I used to hang out and watch to see how some repairs were performed. As I got older I started playing in bands but my full time day gig was as a Union Electrician. My band mates and their friends would give me their broken guitars and amps and I would fix them. I couldn't decide which I loved more, playing them or fixing them. So I decided that it would be cool to be the best I could be at both……….
I then worked in various music stores doing repair work. I actually created a repair tech job at Outlaw Guitars which specialized in vintage guitars and amps. I got an education of a lifetime there working on all the different prized gear you can think of. I used to stay late and open every amp and guitar to see how they were built and how they all were different. I really got more interested in amps during this time and decided to start a boutique amp company.………
Around this time the playing bug started to gain strength and I found myself touring for part of the 90's and spending a little time in Nashville. Being on the road and in the studio was another great education. This was the other side of the bench as I like to call it. Needless to say I took care of everyone's gear but I didn’t mind at all. So after about 20+ years working on countless guitars and amps (some pedals too) and having my own “Pennalizer” brand of amps I decided to go online with my passion and started 300guitars.com…….I actually have my own band called the Inside Drivers and play gigs regularly and record. I like to keep that aspect of myself “plugged in” so I can constantly learn more music and come up with ideas to better help players with my services.”
Now, back to the review…….
This E-book is geared towards electric and acoustic guitars, but not the types with “floating trems” and locking nuts. There will be another E-book coming soon which will cover these types of guitars.
As a guitar player, band member, songwriter, and over all guitar enthusiast, I have always wondered just which important guitar adjustments I should try to make on my own. With much regret, what I found out was that this information is “trade sensitive”, and that no guitar tech seems willing to just give this knowledge away. My guitars just seem to fall out of perfect setup as the gigs pass, and my guitars never seem to play the same ever again.
Billy Penn makes no bones about giving us the exact and precise information that we all need, and wish to know. Such knowledge is vital to the way that our guitars “play”, feel, sound, tune up, and perhaps most important of all, how long our guitars will last. It is like having a guitar tech with us, for as long as we keep our E-book Guitar setup guide that is.
Within the pages of this E-book, Billy Penn teaches us how to perform the most vital of guitar adjustments. Billy teaches us how to adjust our guitars’ intonation, truss rods, radius, action of the strings, pickups, and all of this with exact precision! The information that I have always tried to obtain is “just what substances should be used to polish all of the different types of guitar finishes”. Well, that is also in this excellent guide E-book!
Billy lists the best possible tools that we should have available before we begin our guitar work. He details what the work space should look like, what it should contain, and as we read along he details lot of great tips. Great tips that we can all use to make our job a lot easier.
All of the fine measurements are in this E-book, along with a lot of images, video links, and knowledge that most “techs” do not like to give away. Thanks Billy Penn, for helping all of us guitar players! At $4.99 this is a steal, and a must have!

Remembrance - Fall, Obsidian Night
Cry Me A River.
Remembrance is a funeral doom/death metal band from France. This band has explored the more depressive and sorrowful side of the doom genre, but mixes it with the brutality of the death side. Making use of both vocalists on their albums has created a sound all their own.
For those unfamiliar with the trio's previous releases, they all have followed within the same vein, but a noticeable evolution and progression keeps things from getting stale. The trio is made up of Matthieu Sachs (guitars, vocals), Carline Van Roos (keyboards, bass, vocals, drum programming), and Norman Müller (drums). Though having a drummer and a drum programmer may seem absurd, the drums on this record are real and having two "drummers" has helped them to create some of the tempos and patterns for this, as well as previous, albums.
The vocals on this album are what one might expect from a funeral doom/death band. Matthieu's style is very low and guttural growls that are similar to those found within other funeral bands; Carline's are much more melodic sounding and is a nice counterpoint to Matthieu's. The two manage to make their vocals diverse enough that every song is a little different from the one that preceded it, to some extent.
The overall sound of the band is pretty much what one comes to expect from the funeral doom genre. Slow and melodic guitars, paced drumming, heavy bass, and symphonic keyboards. While all of this occurs in this album, the keyboards in particular stand out. Tracks like The Omen use them to great effect.
While nothing on this album is really groundbreaking, it does carry with it some excellent song writing. Songs are arranged and performed in a way that is perhaps a bit easier to listen to than other bands within the funeral doom genre. Tracks like Ice Cold Conscience carry with it a similar style to that of My Dying Bride's early work, which is some of the best death/doom released.
Overall, this is a solid album with good consistent sounding songs. This band really knows how to play funeral doom without sounding like everyone else, even though there's not a lot you really could do not to sound like another funeral doom band, these guys know how to pull it off. This album really shows exemplary use of slow tempos and melodic keys and guitars; if you're a fan of doom, you should invest some time into this album.
Overall Score: 8
Highlights: Stone Mirrors, Ice Cold Conscience, Winter Tides

Darwin is a place unlike any other where it stays summer all year round. Home to mesmerising sunsets, Asian food markets and an awesome party scene, it's an essential stop on any Aussie adventure. With this metropolis at your doorstep - explore the natural wonders of Kakadu National Park, the thundering waterfalls of Litchfieldand the spectacular Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park.
Darwin is located on Australia’s north coast and is by far the largest city in the Northern Territory. Darwin is the capital of this state, and almost 150,000 people live here. Darwin has a lot of compelling museums, a splendid botanic garden, and beaches to find relaxation.
Darwin is a superb place for tasting a variety of cuisines. The abundance of Asian restaurants has given the city the nickname ‘the laksa capital of Australia’. The seasonal Mindil Beach Sunset Market is the best spot to sample food from all over Asia. Still, local ingredients and dishes are represented at this lively hawker’s centre as well!
Darwin itself is fun, but there are heaps of locations to discover around the state’s capital. For example, in Kakadu National Park, a reserve that stretches out over almost 20,000 square kilometres. Kakadu National Park is home to crocodiles and other wildlife and is blessed with natural features such as red rock formations and waterfalls. The best way to reveal the secrets of this park is through a 3-day Darwin to Kakadu tour.
Litchfield National Park will leave you in awe for the same reasons. This much smaller conservation area south of Darwin has numerous waterfalls, massive termite mounds, and picturesque bush walks. All the best of the national park will be unwrapped in front of your eyes during the day tour of Litchfield National Park. To get the best of both Kakadu and Litchfield, combine them in one excellent trip!
Arnhem Land is a historic region east of Darwin. This area is mainly inhabited by indigenous people, who have been living here for thousands of years. You can gain knowledge about their culture and history through a tour of Arnhem Land. You’ll stop by art and craft centre and rock art, and you’ll meet the indigenous people of this area.
If Darwin is your first destination in Australia or you want to continue your Aussie journey, it’s possible to hop on multi-day tours to Alice Springs and Broome. Travelling this way allows you to see other highlights of the Northern Territory and Western Australia!

Having opened its doors in July 2017, Duas Portas is a family run eight-bedroom boutique guesthouse in Porto. It’s a beautifully restored 19th-century house with immaculate architecture and a tranquil garden.
The interiors are minimalist – mixing bespoke builds, vintage Portuguese and sleek designer furniture.
Duas Portas is situated directly in front of the mouth of the river Douro, translated as Foz, the name of the residential neighbourhood (where we and the owners grew up as kids). Turn left for river views, right for the sea and beaches and stroll nearby for cute local spots.
The old tram just outside the door will take you to the historical centre (15min), riding along the banks of the picturesque riverbank.
Spacious, bright and minimal rooms with views of the Douro river or the lovely garden at the back.
Huge beds with the most comfy linens.
You’ll be off the beaten track, away from the tourist crowds yet close to everything.
The complimentary bikes are not only stylish, but also perfect to explore the river/sea fronts.
The friendly staff can provide you with the best local tips, tailored for you.
The homemade cake made by Francisca is a winner.
It’s located outside of the historical centre.
Coffee and tea making facilities are available in the communal area downstairs.
Duas Portas is located in the seaside neighbourhood of ‘Foz do Douro’. If you enjoy jogging, walking or cycling you’ll be in for a treat.
Enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the city at the nearby view point of Miradouro de Santa Catarina (1km).
Catch the old tram just outside the door to the old Alfândega do Porto (3.5km), and enjoy the view along the riverbank. From Miragaia, walk to the Ribeira and then walk up to the city centre.
‘Matosinhos beach’ (5km) is popular among surfers, with a few surf schools and restaurants/cafes with outdoor seating.
If you’re looking for some post-dinner action, head to the Rua da Galeria de Paris (5km), where bars and party goers fill the streets until the early hours.
Before and after the construction works. Duas Portas is a project by architect Luísa Penha. The results are outstanding.
Luísa: Duas Portas came about spontaneously. Four members of the same family, that had never worked in this field before, took it upon themselves to start this adventure. It is the meeting point of each one’s world: travelling, the pleasure of hosting, the quality of architecture, the enjoyment of Porto, in particular of the neighbourhood where we live.
Luísa: I got involved in the development of the project both as a potential guest and as the manager of the space. I have complete trust in my mother’s work as an architect. During the process we discussed various aspects mainly related to furniture and decoration. In this kind of project this is potentially the most complicated stage and where differences in opinion may appear between the architect and the owner.
The interior design and the architecture as a whole can be compromised if there isn’t dialogue, commitment and trust between all parties. Although Duas Portas is not a hotel per se, it has requirements for its functioning, cleanliness and maintenance that are more demanding than those of a large family house. The architect fully answered all these requirements, and we found that often she was the one being more flexible during the process.
Duas Portas features some beautiful designer furniture, such as this trolley designed by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto.
The artworks in all the rooms were created by Luísa’s sister, Maria Souto de Moura, who is also an architect.
The house establishes a link between the past, the memory of a family home, and the present in a coherent way.
Luísa: I think that Duas Portas establishes a link between the past, the memory of a family home, and the present in a coherent way. The result is that we are able to offer a unique experience to our guests.
We renovated a 19th century Porto townhouse, respecting the use of traditional materials, but without hesitating when it came to introducing modernity and functionality. It is a type of architecture with a simple language that allows for the space to age well. A sense of quality is created through the essence and robust nature of the materials and the method of construction in order to produce a harmony with the whole.
This idea is clearly present in the façade. A new floor was added, using exactly the same materials and type of construction of the existing floors, natural stone-work salvaged from the demolition of an existing wall of the old house. The thickness of the walls, the proportions of the openings, the window-frames, everything was preserved in order to allow for the same way of aging.
Luísa: Neither of us has training or experience in this field, I am an architect and my aunt is a nurse. Even though we are demanding and well travelled we have been constantly learning new things.
We want to offer the highest standard of quality to our guests and we believe, that in order to do that, time and dedication is necessary for research, studying and testing.
Francisca: Personally one of the biggest challenges was the staff interviewing process. We decided to set up an ‘office’ right in the middle of the construction site because we thought that it was important to present the space to the interviewees. It was February and the house didn’t even have windows! The candidates showed up impeccably dressed and left covered in dust. We were freezing and some of them were coughing as they left. (Laughter)
Both my niece and I felt immediately that we were in tune in what concerns our objectives. At the end of each interview, and we did about forty, our evaluation was almost always the same: I like her, I don’t like her, fantastic, unthinkable… and we ended up in complete agreement in all the choices that we made.
Furnishing the hotel was another big challenge. For example, in order to choose the bed linen and the bathroom towels we visited almost all the textile factories in the north of Portugal. We learnt about the difference between 200 thread Egyptian cotton and 305 thread satin, between single and other types of yarn. We tried all the samples in order to make our decisions. It was fun to choose mattresses and pillows. We spent hours in showrooms: one of us lying down while the other would jump on the mattress to test it. (Laughter)
Luísa: Above all I like to observe people. To understand the differences and the similarities between them. I like to establish a relationship of trust in order to offer the best experience of Porto.
This project has allowed me get to know very different kinds of people, both the guests and my own staff. I get that same feeling when I go travelling.
Francisca: As I am responsible for breakfast, I find the diversity of morning habits of each guest very entertaining. My recipes for home-made cakes are the highlight of the morning meal, I am very happy with all the compliments.
The beautiful door by the lobby. It is exquisite, made of laced woodwork that belonged to the house.
The “cheeky bird” in the patio. It fell in love with them and has never flown away.
A small Riad in Marrakech that Luisa never forgot.
Luísa: One of the things that distinguishes us is that we don’t see ourselves as a hotel. Duas Portas is one of a kind in its architecture and the attention that it dedicates to its guests. It is a simple but refined space, that offers the tranquility of the river and the sea, while keeping a distance from the frenzy of the city. But it still is very close to the centre of Porto, in both distance and access to public and other means of transport.
Francisca: I think not having standard procedures makes us special. We try to create a unique relationship with each guest, according to each situation.
Luísa: The beautiful door by the lobby. It is not really an object, more of an element of the architecture. It is exquisite, made of laced woodwork that belonged to the house, which we moved from its original setting. We restored the door, keeping the same ochre and dry-green coloring and varnishing it with old style furniture wax. When I came in I could smell it. I will not forget that feeling.
Francisca: The “cheeky bird” in the patio. It fell in love with us and has never flown away… (laughter).
Francisca: I loved staying at the Casa do Rio. It has a breathtaking view of the river Douro. Everything about the hotel is beautiful. You feel that you are in an atmosphere of total comfort and the service is excellent. I had to call my friend Francisco (the architect of the project) to tell him what I was feeling. It’s a place I always recommend.
Luísa: That’s a tough question. I’ll never forget a small Riad in Marrakesh, Zaouia 44 where I stayed a few years ago. It had the perfect balance: the location, the architecture, the objects and the people. The local versus the universal, tradition versus modernity. The simplicity and the stripped back feel versus the comfort and the intimate atmosphere. Everything was harmonious, just as I intend for Duas Portas.
Duas Portas is a boutique hotel located in Foz do Douro, a 10-minute drive from the city centre.
The closest airport is Porto Francisco Sá Carneiro airport. From there you can take a taxi, metro, bus or hire a car. Duas Portas can arrange a transfer.
Porto (OPO) – 14km
Lisbon (LIS) – 307km
Faro (FAO) – 550km
The historical São Bento Train Station is 5km from the hotel.

“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.” – Miles Kington
Guy builds a tower. Because, why not? After seeing it, I’ll bet you want one too.
“Aside from the personal reward in seeing the progress each day, there is the sense of achievement you get when working on a project,” he says.
“I think my most exciting moment was when I had finished the top floor and I got a chair up there and I just sat down and looked out from my tower. The rest of it was not really sorted and I had mess everywhere, but that was when it became very real.
“I just sat up there and thought ‘this is fantastic – I made it.’ It’s a great feeling.”
Lots of pics at the link.
“Miley’s just doing what she likely suspects she needs to do in her business: Shock people. She’s grown up watching, say, Britney writhe with a snake on the very same awards show, so it’s hard to blame her if she’s surprised by the universally negative reaction. She’s doing what she thought we wanted.
The problem, this time, is that our society feels like it knows her, knows her backstory, knows she’s someone’s daughter, and isn’t able to forget it. Other women, like the ones on stage with Miley, the ones no one is complaining about? Well, we can sexualize them, reduce them to toys lacking a story, but this girl? We know her dad!
Kids don’t need more kids. They know plenty of them. Kids need adults, actual adults, adults adult enough to reject a culture that is so bored, so dead, that it can only feel alive if given one more jolt, one more shock. And it’s hard to shock, anymore, but Miley hit that mark.”
Glad I missed the performance. Sad that we continue down this well-trod road. Read the whole post at the link above. It’s worth it.

Bezos Backed 10,000 Year Clock Site Preparation and Fabrication Underway: “If you were worth a million dollars, you might buy a fine watch to measure time. Rolex, Breitling, Seiko, this watch could run a couple thousand dollars. If you’re Jeff Bezos, you spend $42 million on a 200-foot clock inside a mountain, engineered to withstand Armageddon and tick 10,000 years.”

One of the first fruit trees planted in America is still alive and well at age 383 : TreeHugger: “It may be hard to believe, however, but one of America’s earliest settlers is still alive today — and still bearing fruit after 383 years.”
Amazing that they could figure this out with such basic technology.
Just finished watching the whole 30 minute program and I’m stunned at the complexity and audacity of this thing. Hand wrapped memory cores? That’s insane.
Yummy! World’s oldest Twinkie still looks fresh after 36 years: “…back in 1976 a science teacher from Maine named Roger Bennatti took a student’s leftover Twinkie from lunch and set it on top of the intercom box in his classroom. It sat there undisturbed for the next 28 years”
“As a society, we tend to shrug off such findings. We’re not surprised that learning is unpleasant. We think of it as bad-tasting medicine, tough to swallow but good for children in the long run. Some people even think that the very unpleasantness of school is good for children, so they will learn to tolerate unpleasantness, because life after school is unpleasant. Perhaps this sad view of life derives from schooling. Of course, life has its ups and downs, in adulthood and in childhood. But there are plenty of opportunities to learn to tolerate unpleasantness without adding unpleasant schooling to the mix. Research has shown that people of all ages learn best when they are self-motivated, pursuing questions that are their own real questions, and goals that are their own real-life goals. In such conditions, learning is usually joyful.”
“Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.”
Appropriate this morning.

“We are the Culture of Death, the Culture of Nothingness. Miley Cyrus is but one small consequence of it. Go onto a college campus on any Friday night and you’ll find thousands of other consequences behaving in a fashion pretty similar to Miley’s VMA performance. Every once in a while we catch a glance of ourselves in the mirror and recoil in horror because, as it turns out, being a society without any sense of discipline, decency, character, and self respect, really isn’t as cool as we might have imagined.
I’m not trying to turn the Miley Cyrus molehill into a proverbial mountain, but I am saying last night’s horror show didn’t happen in a vacuum. We are generally an oversexed, amoral civilization, and this is the sort of spectacle that sort of civilization produces. Pretty simple. People often seem troubled when a young woman acts so sexually desperate, but then many of those same folks will lash out with mockery and derision anytime someone suggests — GASP! — self control as an alternative. “
Read the whole thing.
Just had this conversation with a Major Client:
“Hi, we’ve got a great job we want you to do. It’s for a major national venue with huge public exposure (2.5 million+ people). 20 minutes of music. It’ll be performed every hour on the hour, 10 hours per day. Multiple live singers. Runs for 6 weeks. Sponsored by Coke!
We can pay you $400. Maybe $500 if we stretch the budget. Oh, and we need the music this week.”
I mean, how can a guy with two decades’ experience say no?
Believe it or not, this is typical of the kinds of calls working musicians field on a regular basis. A very regular basis.
Queen Guitarist Brian May Explains Exactly How Bohemian Rhapsody Was Made: “Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest rock epics of all time. The late Freddie Mercury, legendary rock star, wove together complex harmonies and instrumental layers, from the choral introduction to the head-banging bridge, to build the British band Queen‘s best-known song. And in this behind-the-scenes tour, Queen guitarist Brian May walks us through exactly how it works.
Using the original mix tape for Bohemian Rhapsody, May goes piece-by-piece through the multitude of tracks that made up the song. There’s a bit of a jitter at around the 3 minute mark, but don’t worry, it cleans up. “
30 minutes long but worth it if you’re a fan of the song (and who isn’t?).

I found this strangely affecting, emotional, and beautiful. I don’t know why.

I wish I had seen this 23 years ago when I was just starting out. I probably wouldn’t have listened to it. I definitely wouldn’t have understood it all. But as I heard him speak now I just kept nodding my head over and over and over again. It’s all true.
If you’re a recent (or soon-to-be) graduate in the arts, I implore you to give this twenty minutes of your time. The man speaks truth.

I love it when a client gives me rough directions and then says “but just do what you’re good at. We trust you.” It simultaneously frees me up from the stress of having to get them to define what they want (when they often can’t put it into words) while also setting a high mark- my mark- on what is “good enough”. The best way to get superior work out of a craftsman is to tell them that you hired them because they’re good and because you trust them. If they’re professionals they will fall all over themselves, put in extra hours, and get pull our their best stuff so that they won’t disappoint you. Their self-respect and reputation is on the line.
How To Manipulate A Craftsman 101
Scandals costing us American exceptionalism: “Enough breaches of trust — and I haven’t even started to hit all the scandals out there, by a long shot — and ordinary people will start to assume that the whole system is corrupt. And if that happens, people will quit following the law because they think it’s the right thing to do, and only do so to the extent they’re afraid of getting caught. Plenty of countries operate on that principle. They’re just not as nice to live in as countries where the law has moral stature. When government officials breach trust, they push us closer to that sort of third world condition. Which is why, when they’re found doing so, they should be punished severely.
It’s also why we should try electing, and employing, people with strong moral compasses of their own; government officials who will follow the law because they think it’s the right thing to do, rather than simply to the extent they’re afraid of getting caught.”
Maybe this is the kind of society you get when popular culture sends the message that there’s no such thing as an objective moral compass.

Game of Thrones - Robb Stark & Grey Wind
© George R.R. Martin
By Corey Breen
In honor of the return of Game of Thrones to HBO this weekend, my tribute to The King in the North. This was a commissioned piece from a fan. I am really happy with how it turned out!
So excited for the return of the show this weekend. I had forgotten how amazing the second half of Storm of Swords is since it has now been years since I finished it. But in anticipation of it's return months ago I started listening to the audio books and and now finishing up Storm of Swords. Reminding me how good it is going to be this season! There is awesome action, incredible dialogue, nail bitting tension, humor, and brilliant chess-like moves by so many characters. It also has my favorite line in the ENTIRE series of novels, from Littlefinger himself
"Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. Remember that, Sansa, when you come to play the game."
"The only game. The game of thrones."
Enjoy the premiere on Sunday!
PS- I will be coloring this piece, and have prints to sell on my online store & at baltimore Con & NYCC!
PPS- If you would like a Game of Thrones Commission from me, please email me your request at email@example.com and we ca talk specifics and price!
PPPS- My favorite lines from the show are from Jamie when he returns home last season and speaks in the bath.

Part Two: Atlantic Restaurant – Melbourne, Australia
Part ONE of my Australia adventure here.
This year, the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival (MFWF) will celebrate all things water. As noted on the official website, “In 2014 we honour water; soaking, dousing, steaming and fishing our way through a veritable ocean of information from sous vide to sustainability, from the Amazon to the Arctic.”
If you missed my last post, in September I was invited by Tourism Australia to preview some of the festival restaurants, in and around Melbourne. MFWF programs begin on February 28th and run through March 16th. Click here for details.
My first night in Melbourne I attended a dinner at Chef Donovan Cooke’s Atlantic Restaurant, an “ocean to plate” concept that fits in perfectly with the upcoming festival’s water theme. After an early-morning arrival from Los Angeles, plus an afternoon exploring Sichuan food (aka getting lost) in Chinatown… I was ready for an elegant, fine-dining experience.
Yorkshire-born Donovan Cooke has quite a distinguished culinary pedigree, honing his skills under the likes of Marco Pierre White and Michel Roux.
From the Atlantic website:
“He has worked at The Savoy Hotel and the Waterside Inn in London and La Cote St Jacques in Roigny, France. Donovan was Head Chef at the age of 23 at Harvey’s. Donovan came to Melbourne in 1996 where he was co-creator of the influential Est Est Est in 1997. Luxe was next was awarded The Age Good Food Guide three hats in its first year. Ondine followed and it was awarded Best New Restaurant in 2002. From 2004, Donovan was chef de cuisine at Derby Restaurant and Bar at the Hong Kong Jockey Club. In 2005, he was recognized as Honorary Commander, La Commanderie des Cordon bleus de France for outstanding culinary achievements.”
In 2010, Donovan returned to Melbourne to become Executive Chef and partner of The Atlantic. The restaurant theme is inspired by the “hustle and bustle of the fish markets of years gone by, in New York and Chicago.” It’s a beautiful, waterfront location, set on the banks of the Yarra River.
Melbourne Food & Wine describes Donovan as “Intense, earnest and knowledgeable, Donovan Cooke has a reputation for his uncompromising approach to impeccable seafood and the best way to handle it. His Michelin pedigree is undeniable; his skill and technique, faultless.”
And yes, he’s also been on MasterChef Australia!
For this MFWF preview dinner, Chef Scott Pickett (Estelle Bar & Kitchen) was also manning the stoves along with Donovan Cooke. Pickett also has an impressive cooking background, winning Two Chef Hats in the Age Good Food Guide.
Photos – Dinner at The Atlantic Restaurant (9/8/13)

Wagyu Bresaola, Quail yolk, Heritage Cauliflower by Chef Scott Pickett. You can’t see the quail egg in this photo, but this was such a gorgeous dish. The crunchy chips added a great texture.
Olive Oil Confit Ora King Salmon, Spring Vegetables, Diamond Clams, Artichoke Essence, Confit Tomatoes, Soft Herb Emulsion by Chef Donovan Cooke. PERFECTION. He has spent TWO DECADES refining this salmon dish. A fact that’s even posted on his twitter profile.
I had the absolute pleasure of dining (and drinking) next to Coldstream Hills Winemaker, Andrew Fleming. He explained each pairing and made the evening so much fun!
Wine: Coldstream Hills Chardonnay Notes of grapefruit and stone fruit and a creamy mouthfeel.
Wine: Seppelt Chalambar Shiraz Black fruits with subtle hints of pepper.
Mixed Berry Cheesecake Trifle: Raspberry cheesecake foam, cream cheese ice cream, vanilla cookies, strawberry jelly, berry marmalade by Pastry Chef Rhiannon Voros. Such a shame I only had room for one bite.
Note: Donovan Cooke will be appearing at the MFWF 2014 Langham Melbourne MasterClass. Info and Tickets

British supermodel Neelam Gill describes herself as a “tomboy” who grew up not caring about what she looked like. What a twist of fate that this natural stunner is redefining standards of beauty as a mainstream model of South Asian descent.
But Gill is more than just the token pretty brown woman in a magazine. She is fearless when it comes to vocalizing the racism she faces in the fashion industry, the social media trolls that try to bring her down, feminism, her personal struggles with depression, and her difficult childhood. The young influencer is the strong, independent and raw role model desi girls today desperately need in this divisive world.
hi, my name is Neelam, I’m from Coventry & I’m in a L’Oréal commercial!! aahhhhh!!! such an honour to be a part of this campaign with @lorealhair and @rankinarchive, especially because my hair has always been a big part of who I am 🌟 my job as a model means that my hair is styled every single day on set; so I use @lorealhair’s nutri gloss range (THE PINK ONE) to give my hair that extra shine 💁🏽♀️ #ElvivexRankin #ThePinkOne #Loreal
This powerful diva has just started her journey a few years ago and already she’s breaking barriers and ripping to shreds the blonde-haired-blue-eyed-pale image of beauty by becoming the first British Indian to take on many monumental milestones within the fashion industry. Gill is the first British Indian model to become the muse of Burberry, the face of Abercrombie & Fitch, the face of L’Oreal, and to appear in British Vogue. She’s actually appeared on numerous Vogue editions around the world including Vogue Arabia and Vogue India. She’s walked the ramp for Burberry, Kanye, and Dior as well.
She was featured in campaigns for British Airways, Yeezy, Balmain, and Adidas. Recently she was even on the cover of Elle Magazine and met Prince Charles at the Prince’s Trust event. Gill has traveled the world for projects from India and Japan to America.
Gill’s first step towards a modeling career was when she was scouted by an agency at 14 but it wasn’t until she was 18 with all A’s on her A-levels did her mother allow her to give modeling a chance. Initially, she never told anyone about her aspirations for fear of the criticism.
“I didn’t even tell people in high school that I was interested in modeling, or that I’d been scouted,” Gill told Elle Magazine, “because when people found out, they were like, ‘What? Her?!’ There was a joke about me in school: ‘Oh, Neelam’s a model—she’s a foot model! Maybe she can be a hand model!’ because nobody could believe anyone would want to [cast] me. And now those same people message me on Facebook. They’re like, “Wow, let’s meet up!”
🌙✨ golden girl 💛
After signing with Models 1, an agency whose repertoire includes legends like Twiggy, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell, Gill was sent to Burberry as one of her first auditions. The young and naive Gill had no clue the enormity of the opportunity she was presented.
In an interview with The Guardian, Gill says she didn’t have enough money for the train ride from Coventry to London so she couldn’t go. She was studying psychology at university and working at Hollister at the time. Models 1 was furious at her for missing the audition but lucky for Gill, Burberry called again to set up a meeting with her the following week so she scraped up the cash for the train ride to London.
“It was like something out of Ugly Betty,” she told The Guardian about her first audition experience with Burberry. She was in awe of the skilled professionals at the audition. “I just sat there with my long hair past my ass, hot pink nails, this diamanté top with huge platform boots and hot pants… I’d never walked before, I’d never done any editorials or photoshoots, so when Christopher [Bailey] looked in my book, there were no pictures, just Polaroids. I was, like, ‘Yeah, don’t worry I’ve got a few shoots coming up.’ I had no idea of the magnitude of what was happening.”
With her sharp features and big brown eyes, Gill impressed Christopher Bailey, the chief creative and chief executive officer of Burberry, and she got her first modeling job in the Burberry campaign, English Rose, that was shot by Mario Testino. She put her degree on hold to pursue her modeling career that year. From polaroids as her first headshot to a highly sought-after model, this desi beauty is conquering the fashion world rapidly
While her career took off rapidly, Gill noticed a lot of discrimination in the fashion industry. Gill has been vocal about her frustrations about being the only South Asian or Asian girl in the room at an audition. She explains that by breaking these barriers or at least causing a dent in the lack of diversity within the fashion industry she can give hope to minority girls everywhere. She didn’t grow up with personalities in media who looked like her and she is glad her younger sisters won’t face that.
“I go to castings now and there might be one other Asian girl–agencies started scouting them after I started getting booked,” Gill told The Guardian. “That’s amazing. It’s an ongoing process, and it won’t change overnight, but sometimes… just what the fuck?!”
quick question… have you done anything for anyone other than yourself today? selflessness is one of the most beautiful traits you can possess // photography by @sashajairam
Besides facing discrimination in the industry, Gill has also faced attacks from social media trolls who can be truly cruel. She’s been attacked for her ethnicity, her appearance, her opinions, and even for being romantically linked to Zayn Malik right after he broke his engagement with singer Perrie Edward. Even before gaining popularity she has faced racism growing up in Coventry for not just her looks but her family’s financial struggles as well.
“People say the worst things about me, but I don’t hate them for it,” Gill said in a video she posted on YouTube. “I don’t hate anyone in this world. I just feel sorry because they’re so deeply insecure. If you’re a secure person you never feel the need to write anything negative online.”
Gill has become a media favorite because she is so raw and open with her opinions and her story. Her struggles within the industry and her difficult childhood make her relatable. The obstacles in her life have taught her to be a humble person, which is clear to followers.
Gill has spoken of her family’s financial issues growing up and her parents’ unhappy marriage. Her parents divorced when she was a mere 7-years-old, understandably this took a deep emotional toll on her. Her father later remarried a woman Gill never met and they had a child together. The young model was heartbroken and is estranged from her biological father.
“I thought I would never get over that pain,” Gill told The Guardian in an interview. “I remember just being heartbroken, I was numb for years and years. I always thought if I could get through that, then I could deal with anything.”
Gill’s mother remarried when she was 13 and Gill eventually took her stepfather’s surname. The spiritual model, let go of any animosity towards her father and his family but she works hard to keep her loving mother happy.
“I was really hard on my mum at a time when she really needed me,” Gill explains in the same interview. “ I wasn’t there for her. I do what I can to be better to her now.”
Through her action, she shows her fans that she has risen from her pain, letting go is the best way to move on. She’s spoken about mental health issues and her personal struggles with depression and anxiety that began in 2015. She was constantly on the move due to her budding modelling career so she lost many friends and became distant from her family, she felt everyone was unhappy with her but she kept working because she wasn’t sure how long the stream of modelling gigs would keep flowing. Gill explains how she can’t get out of bed some days, she would vomit or wake up in cold sweats, paralyzed in the middle of the night. It wasn’t until she was vomiting at a photo shoot and was sent home did she begin to focus on her physical and mental health.
“Depression is still something I suffer from,” she said in a video she released on her YouTube channel, “but it’s something you learn how to cope with and you get help.”
Though she’s not very active on YouTube, she released this video in 2015 speaking her views on topics like society’s standards of beauty, depression, the fashion industry’s inner workings, feminism, and more. Though her 5-minute update turned into a 20-minute rant, the insightful model makes some inspiring points about the Eurocentric view of beauty we have in the world, society’s narrow-minded view on things and she even opens up about her struggles with depression that she is still battling.
With so much under her belt already, what else does this 22-year-old want for the future?
To continue making waves to change the views of beauty so minority girls have a powerful role model in the mainstream media, and to just stay “normal.”
“I won’t be doing this forever,” Gill explained in an interview with The Guardian. “I don’t ever want to be one of those girls having dead conversations…. I want to have depth. I want to stay normal, I love fashion, but it is a bubble. The industry magnifies things out of proportion and you need to remember what matters.”

When it comes to fall decorating, I have a predictable annual ritual. I clip colorful stems of viburnum leaves from the backyard, pull out the amber glass collection from storage, and pose mini pumpkins all around the house. As a result, the mantel tends to reflect my fall favorites.
That was the mantel yesterday morning when I photographed it. Then I had two cups of coffee. And as I sat there in the cozy space, amped up on caffeine, I got a hankering to mix it up again.
As I’ve mentioned, I am fixated on marbled paper this year, so I decided after lunch to take down the mirror and replace it with some framed golden marbled papers I ordered earlier this year. (Those are IKEA Ribba frames if you’re curious.)
Aaaaaand here’s the afternoon version of the mantel.
Here are the seasonal changes: I temporarily swapped my living room rug for the Surya rug that used to sit in the kid’s playroom and was hiding in a closet. I brought down the slipcovered settee from our master bedroom for a few months to create a cozy seating area around the fireplace. And I added a deep orange throw blanket and some embroidered DL Rhein pillows, both purchased from Joss & Main as autumn accents.
Not one hour had gone by and I discovered little Miss Coco had made herself a new nap zone in the space.
And if you’re wondering about this cute critter, I’ve been experimenting with textile design and Foxy is one of my projects, more to come on that topic soon.
Are y’all excited that fall has arrived? I am! For me, fall decorating is all about filling the home with scents of the season and the simple pleasure of getting cozy by the fire.
Time to link up YOUR seasonal mantels and vignettes, show your stuff!

Technology has the potential not only to enrich our lives in approaches many of us could not have imagined, but it also has the ability to irritate and even enrage. We will uncover that Moore’s Technology Adoption Lifecycle model is still relevant and helpful these days, but is weakened by an inflexible and overly simplified view of today’s technology marketplace. Pragmatists like worth added resellers” simply because they can get in touch with them, and if necessary sue them, if one thing goes wrong with the technologies they adopt.
It ought to be no surprise, then, that the aim of each technology organization is eventually to dominate the mainstream market place exactly where the most buyers and profit reside. Alternatively, he notes that it can be divided into distinct phases during which the growing technology firm must sell its solution to distinct classes of buyer with distinct needs and concerns to address.
The gulf in attitude to technologies and innovation amongst the early adopter and the early majority buyer is such that a visionary reference is worthless when presented to a pragmatist. Furthermore, the very items a growing technology company will have created for early adopters will not be suitable for sale even in the early mainstream market.
Different management and reward systems are also essential post-chasm, as they are in the really early stages of item improvement and advertising and marketing. As opposed to many management books which monotonously churn a single insight into 200 pages of repetitive text, Crossing the Chasm remains readable and exciting throughout. Reality may possibly be fuzzier than his salesmanship would care to admit, but his clear model represents an exceptional touchstone for any technologies development company. A single excellent weakness, alluded to above, which riddles Crossing the Chasm is a tendency to more than-simplify and didactically lay down a correct way” to industry new technologies.
Adoption of continuous innovations are greater described by the original Technology Adoption Lifecycle. The web and digital technologies implies any niche item can find a paying audience without the traditional marketing fees or overheads linked with physically stocking variety. As I mentioned above, we ought to not feel of technologies as some thing that is prolific only in our contemporary society.

Celebrating its 75th anniversary, the Peabody Awards on May 21 will honor this year’s winners at a downtown Saturday-night gala, complete with some of the glitz and glamour more akin to higher-profile industry affairs.
The customary weekday Waldorf Astoria lunch (Peabody Awards Director Jeffrey P. Jones dryly calls it “the longest lunch in New York”) last year morphed into a splashier Wall Street soirée. This year’s edition, hosted by comedian Keegan-Michael Key, will air June 6 in edited form on Pivot.
Websites, viral videos and podcasts now qualify for the prestigious award, which historically had been more commonly equated with the likes of Edward R. Murrow, Morley Safer’s reports from Vietnam and classic groundbreakers like All in the Family.
Yet while the event at Cipriani Wall Street, the breadth of honorees and the expansion of the mediums in which they work are all decidedly of-the-moment, the Peabody organization, Jones says, very much remains committed to its core mission of awarding the best in storytelling using radio, television and, now, digital media.
“The question is whether they are stories that matter, that tell us something,” Jones says. “Extending the conversation” around those stories is an equally important part of the equation, he says.
This year’s winners represent the ever-growing range of mediums being used, a mix of time-honored legacy as well as new platforms. Local TV stations—WMAQ Chicago, WTAE Pittsburgh and WXIA Atlanta—are among this year’s 30 winners, as are TV networks including PBS, HBO and ABC, whose Black-ish made the list. So are the Do Not Track website, Amazon’s Transparent and Lifetime’s backstage drama Unreal.
“It is certainly a career highlight for me,” says WTAE reporter Paul Van Osdol, whose investigation into Pennsylvania fire departments is among the winners. “When you look at some of the work that’s nominated, when you’re up there with the 60 Minutes of the world and incredible work done by local stations around the country, it’s an incredible honor.”
Jones says that while each winner represents a different means of storytelling—traditional news, comedy and unscripted programming among others—they all jibe with Peabody’s criteria of having “broader import beyond just enjoyment.”
USA Network’s Mr. Robot, for example, won for addressing the issue of surveillance. Netflix’s comedy Master of None, created by Indian-American Aziz Ansari, forwards the industry by having a nonwhite star, Jones says.
Yet as the array of media—and the storytellers who use it—continues to grow, winning a Peabody may become increasingly elusive. There are simply more players in the field, Jones says.
In turn, the Peabody committee for the first time announced its 60 finalists, from which 30 winners were selected. (This is also the first year the number of winners is capped.)
Jones says that’s a nod to the preponderance of top-tier work being done. As new platforms increasingly prove their value in innovation, there simply may not be enough Peabodys to go around.
Good material, he adds, shines through regardless of the way it is delivered. “You don’t have to convince someone that a story is powerful,” Jones says. “They get it.”
2015 PEABODY AWARD WINNERS INCLUDE:
■ WTAE Pittsburgh, for its investigation into fire response times.
■ WXIA Atlanta, for its probe into the dangers of using smartphones for emergency calls.
■ WMAQ Chicago, for its investigation into the Laquan McDonald police shooting.
■ PBS Newshour, for reporting on the crises being created as people flee Syria and other war zones.
■ PBS, for Independent Lens: India’s Daughter; Isisin Afghanistan (produced with WGBH Boston); and POV: Don’t Tell Anyone.
■ ABC, for Black-ish and its airing of issues including race, class and guns.
■ HBO, for Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel: The Killing Fields; The Jinx: The Lives and Deaths of Robert Durst; and The Leftovers.
■ Netflix, for Beasts of No Nation; Marvel’s Jessica Jones; and Master of None.

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is informed that the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, the Surete have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci. These clues are hidden in plain sight for all to see, and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with Sophie Neveu, a French cryptologist, who learns the late curator was involved in the secret society known as the Priory of Sion. In a race to get answers before the Catholic Church puts a stop to them, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless power broker who appears to work for Opus Dei - a clandestine, Vatican-sanctioned secret organization believed to have long plotted to seize the Priory's secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's secret, and a stunning historical truth, will be lost forever

A few of the local club members and I got to talking about the impact of mineral additions on final product. Inevitably, we all decided a few experimental brews were in order.
To prepare I went back and listened to the five water episodes of Brew Strong and got a refresher on mineral additions. The conclusions I came away with: Vancouver’s unbelievably soft tap water (almost distilled water levels of minerals) doesn’t need a pH adjustment during the mash, so there’s no point in adding alkalinity unless doing extremely light beers like lagers.
But we do need to add minerals for flavour and fermentation. My previous assumption was that the mash was the right place to do this, but since pH isn’t an issue there’s no real difference between mash or boil additions; in fact, if I decide to use something that adds any amount of bicarbonate, I’m better off adding post-mash anyway. Convenient, since I wanted to mash once and boil twice to produce two different fermentations on this batch. Here in Vancouver we need to add at least 50ppm calcium for fermentation, as well as chlorides and sulphates to flavour the final product. Chlorides enhance malt, sulphates enhance hops. John Palmer’s experiments led him to conclude that 2:1 chloride to sulphate is as high as you’d want to go with the chlorides, but you could go as high as 8:1 sulphates to chlorides if you want.
That in mind, I decided a pale ale would probably be a good way of bringing out whatever flavours the mineral additions were adding without being drowned out by other ingredients. I would mash for 4 gallons of wort, and split that between two boils. One would get a mineral dose, the other wouldn’t. I used the American pale ale recipe from Brewing Classic Styles as my base.
The mash went well enough, though 6lbs of grain wasn’t enough to properly filter on recirculation so I ended up with cloudy, slightly chunky wort from all the grain that slipped through. I improvised a fly sparge with a colander and a 500mL pyrex cup, pouring a new batch of sparge water on whenever the grains on top started peeking through the water line. It worked better than expected and netted me an 89% efficiency; I’m not sure if I’ll do it on every batch from now on since it’s a lot of work, maybe only my higher gravity beers.
The theory was that each boil would be identical, but in reality I hadn’t used my smaller boil pot in a long while so I had to re-acquaint myself with its quirks on the first batch. I ended up with slightly different OGs between batches, 1.047 and 1.050, but I don’t feel like that was enough to throw the entire experiment off the rails. The one place where I screwed up was the mineral additions themselves; I planned my calcium/chloride/suplhate ppm in my brewing software (BeerAlchemy) which gives mineral additions in grams per pint, a weird measurement. I’ve become accustomed to multiplying by 40 for a full 5 gallon batch and apparently I went on autopilot when weighing out my additions. So instead of my intended ppm in the salted batch, I ended up with just over 3x the concentration I intended. (The boils didn’t lose as much volume as I expected, so instead of 1 gallon at the end, I ended up with about 1.5 gallons of each batch.)
Fermentation was interesting. I expected the salted batch would lag, but it took off like a rocket and went much more vigorously than the salted batch. Both finished out around the same gravity proportional to the starting gravity, which I would have expected since they sat side by side at the same temperature the entire time.
Instead of bottling each individually, I realized the oversalted batch would have to be diluted. But this gave me a pretty good opportunity to blend different proportions of each batch when bottling. Since the salts were added during boil, my assumption is that (aside from calcium) the impact on mash and fermentation would be negligible, so blending can give me a reasonable idea of how a pure mineral addition at each blend proportion would have turned out on its own.
Up front, I determined that a ratio of 2:1 unsalted batch to salted batch felt like the right balance for most of the bottles, so that’s how I blended the bulk. But up front I made sure to set aside four bottles at blended ratios of 0:3, 1:3, 2:3, and 3:3. These are the ones I’ll take to the club meeting and compare against.
Bottling was a bit of a nightmare. Small volumes and 1 gallon jugs just don’t work with the auto-siphon, so I had to manually suck-start to transfer each. Hello oxidation. I’m hoping enough time in the bottles will clean that up.
The Recipe (for two batches)
- 4.4lbs ESB malt
- 0.6lbs Munich malt
- 0.6lbs biscuit malt
- 0.5lbs wheat malt
- Wyeast 1056
- 6g Magnum
- 13g Cascade
- 13g Centennial
- Brewed: 26 Jan 2012
- Boil length: 60 mins
- Batch Size: 1 gallon
- Boil Size: 2 gallons
- Primary: 13d
- Secondary: —
- Target OG: 1.055
- Target FG: 1.017
- OG: 1.047 / 1.050
- FG: 1.004 / 1.006
- ABV: 5.7% / 5.8%
- IBU: 40
- SRM: 8.6
The salted batch was obviously overdone. The recipe and the process seemed to turn out well, but were ruined by my mistake. Further reinforcing this, the unsalted batch was actually quite good. I think a 2:1 ratio was probably far too high, I should have gone with 4:1. We’ll chalk this up to learning experience. 4/10 for the resulting beer.
at just shy of three months, one of the last bottles is drinking really, really well. No oxidation, the chloride sharpness was much diminished, and this turned out a tasty, tasty pale ale. Centennial dominates, giving way to a solid dry malt backbone. Actually a really good pale ale in the end. Upping to 7/10.

John Swainson (10/8/1789 –
12/6/1855) was a naturalist and
ornithologist born in London and was one of the original fellows in the Linnean
Society. A speech impediment prevented him from completing his studies; however,
it didn’t limit his passion for science. After his military service where he
was a commander in the early days of the Roman Empire, he was able to travel
some. He took advantage of those opportunities to study botany and zoology. In
1816, he went to Brazil with explorer Henry Koster and then to other locations.
He returned many years later with thousands of samples of insects, birds and
Upon his return to England, he married and then devoted many years to writing voluminous amounts of material on both botany and zoology. As he wrote his book, Zoological Illustrations, his friend and director of zoology at the British Museum invited him to attempt his own illustrations. He became quite an accomplished artist and it was because of this encouragement that Swainson is known as much for his lithographs as for his writing. He produced several more books including another series of Zoological Illustrations and three volumes of Sir William Jardine’s Naturalist’s Library. His support of the Quinarian system, an unpopular system of classification, caused him to be ostracized by many of his peers. In 1840, he married his second wife and moved to New Zealand. While there he had the chance to extensively study the native plants of Australia.
Many bird species were named after Swainson and have retained those common and scientific names today. Among the most well known are are the Swainson’s toucan Ramphastos swainsonii, Swainson’s hawk Buteo swainsoni and the Swainson’s warbler Limnothlypis swainsoni. The Swainson’s or blue mountain lory, Trichoglossus haematodus moluccanus, was named for his cousin, botanist Isaac Swainson.

Our Environmental Values
Value and respect for the global environment are fundamental to the principles of Venture Force. We are passionate about the outdoors and the life changing benefits of giving people the opportunity to experience different environments and ecologies. We believe it is vital that expeditions are conducted in a sustainable way, in order to minimise our impact and preserve these environments.
We off-set the carbon from all our expedition flights. We calculate our expedition flight carbon by using the calculator at Carbon Footprint which uses the UK Government’s advised methodology for calculating carbon generated by flights.
We off-set the calculated carbon through planting trees in collaboration with the Orangutan Information Centre (OIC) based in Sumatra. One of the OIC’s missions is to restore jungle habitat in order to help conserve orangutans and other threatened wildlife in Sumatra.
Venture Force donates funds to the OIC who plant trees on our behalf. The amount donated to off-set our carbon is calculated using the following;
Number of tons of carbon x 4 = Number of trees
There is no exact calculation for the number of trees needed to off-set a certain amount of carbon because of the huge number of variables such as tree type, location and environment. We’ve based the number of trees on the advice of Trees For Life which uses the above calculation as an average.
OIC Jungle Rehabilitation
The Leuser Ecosystem is in northern Sumatra and is one of the largest expanses of tropical rainforest left in the world. It is the last remaining area where populations of Sumatran tiger, elephant, rhino and orangutan cohabit. The size and richness of it’s biodiversity means that it plays an important role in climate regulation.
Venture Force has been working with the OIC on our Sumatran expeditions for a number of years. Our teams have worked alongside the OIC on projects to help restore the Leuser forest habitation, to support the conservation of orangutans and other jungle animals. The OIC work is focused on 1500 hectares of high conservation value forest which was illegally cleared to grow palm oil trees, rubber trees and other illegal crops. So far the OIC has replanted more than 800 hectares, with more than 1,647,853 seedlings!
When deciding how to off-set our carbon it was important for us that it wasn’t done through a faceless, corporate scheme, where it wouldn’t be clear how our donations were being used. We’ve chosen instead to create our own scheme and work with our friends at the OIC on a project that we have direct experience with. The Leuser ecosystem is considered of global importance and Venture Force is proud to support this important reforestation work.
For £2.50 the OIC is able to plant a tree and care for it for 6 months after planting, which is the most vulnerable period for establishing trees. To find out more about the OIC please visit their website Orangutan Information Centre.

Young players deliver hope for Gamecocks
Jake Bentley. Rico Dowdle. Bryan Edwards.
And that’s just the freshmen. The sophomores aren’t bad either when you throw in Deebo Samuel and Hayden Hurst and K.C. Crosby and Zack Bailey.
South Carolina’s offensive youngsters not only changed the complexion of the Gamecocks’ 2016 season on Saturday night, but they might have changed the trajectory of the Will Muschamp era on top of that.
The defense did its part, too. The combined effort added up to a 24-21 victory over No. 18 Tennessee in front of 78,696 fans in Williams-Brice Stadium. The win erased a lot of bad recent history (first win over the Vols since 2012, first win over an SEC team not named Vanderbilt since beating Florida near the end of the 2014 season, first win over a ranked team since beating No. 6 Georgia near the beginning of the 2014 season), but the more important impact is on the future.
Suddenly, a bowl game looks not only possible, but –brace yourself a bit here – likely. The Gamecocks (4-4 overall, 2-4 SEC) need two more wins to get to the all-important six, and they likely will be favored against Missouri and Western Carolina.
“We are very pleased with our guys’ effort and our guys’ buy-in,” coach Will Muschamp said. “You get to 2-4 and you’re getting beat up left and right. For our guys to continue to fight says a lot about the players we have on our team but also says a lot about our staff. Our staff has stuck together. We have a very good coaching staff here. These guys do a fantastic job.”
Muschamp was fired after four years at Florida because he never got his offense figured out. Bentley, Dowdle, Edwards, etc., look to be on their way to figuring things out.
“We put them on the field and we expect them to play at a high level. In order to win in our league, you have to,” Muschamp said. “Only on Sunday, as we are having dinner do we say, ‘You know what? These guys are freshmen.’ But on game day and in our preparation, that’s not an excuse. That’s the situation we are in.”
It doesn’t seem like such a bad situation after Saturday night.
Bentley, making his second career start and first against an SEC team, got sacked six times but didn’t flinch. He finished 15-of-20 for 167 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers.
“I thought he did a nice job,” Muschamp said. “He was accurate with the ball, and we had some guys makes some plays, too. There’s no question that in that environment, it says a lot about the young man and his preparation and what he puts into it.”
Dowdle, also making his second career start against the Volunteers, had a career-high 127 yards on 27 carries. It was the most by a Gamecock this season.
Edwards had a 17-yard touchdown catch with 12:46 left in the second quarter to put South Carolina ahead 14-7 and made a great leaping catch to convert a critical third down with less than six minutes left in the game. He finished with four catches for 41 yards.
The sophomores pitched in with Samuel’s eight catches for 83 yards (“Deebo played fantastic. He’s really an electric guy,” Muschamp said.), Hurst’s lone catch that covered 9 yards to convert a fourth quarter third-and-7, and Crosby’s 35-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.
“I’m glad we’ve got the guys we’ve got,” Muschamp said.
Sure, some of their baby fat showed. For instance, after Crosby’s touchdown, he was flagged for a 15-yard celebration penalty for an overly exuberant end zone dance.
“I am disappointed in that, but like I told one of the coaches on the headset who was complaining, ‘Hell, we have never been in this position,’ ” Muschamp said. “But we plan on being here a lot.”

For well over a thousand years, the history of Sri Lanka was essentially the history of ANURADHAPURA. Situated almost at the centre of the island’s northern plains, the city rose to prominence very early in the development of Sri Lanka, and maintained its pre-eminent position for more than a millennium until being finally laid waste by Indian invaders in 993. Today, Anuradhapura remains a magical place. The sheer scale of the ruined ancient city – and the thousand-plus years of history buried here – is overwhelming, and you could spend days or even weeks ferreting around amongst the ruins.
At its height, Anuradhapura was one of the greatest cities of its age, functioning as the island’s centre of both temporal and spiritual power, dotted with dozens of monasteries populated by as many as ten thousand monks – one of the greatest monastic cities the world has ever seen. The kings of Anuradhapura oversaw the golden age of Sinhalese culture, and the temples and the enormous dagobas they erected were amongst the greatest architectural feats of their time, surpassed in scale only by the great pyramids at Giza. The city’s fame spread to Greece and Rome and, judging by the number of Roman coins found here, appears to have enjoyed a lively trade with the latter.

What To Consider Before Selling Your Small Business
- Building Service Contractors Must First Get Their House In Order
- Are You Emotionally Ready To Sell Your Business?
The reasons for wanting to sell a janitorial business run the gamut. Whether building service contractors are seeking an exit due to retirement, family matters or to take advantage of new opportunities, the first step to finding a buyer is understanding that the process is far more complicated than putting up a “For Sale” sign.
It sounds rudimentary, but mergers and acquisitions experts say BSCs often think they are ready to sell their companies, when in reality few have all of their affairs in order.
Consider a call taken by one of the M&A experts: A potential client wanted to sell his regional janitorial company. Yet, when pressed about some basic financial fundamentals of the business, the seller revealed the company was not only in debt, but also owed money to the IRS.
It’s an extreme case of ill preparation to be sure, but experts say it rivals an all too common misconception among building service contractors looking to plant their feet in the acquisition market.
“I would say about 10 percent of companies we encounter are prepared for a strategic sale,” says Mark Herbick, president at Pursant, Bannockburn, Illinois. “They think [the business] is fine. They think the business is great. But, it’s very rare that BSCs have gone on to optimize their businesses.”
It Takes Time
Prior to the recession, acquiring facility service companies was a hot market. Buyers willingly paid for companies based on future expectations and generally saw a return on investment. But when the economy collapsed, tenants moved out and the janitorial industry subsequently suffered. As a result, buyers “felt burned and pulled in all their tentacles,” says Lyle Graddon, president at Graddon Equity Advisors, Seattle. These days, BSCs who are looking to sell can expect a lot more scrutiny.
“Over the past few years, [sales] have been gradually increasing,” he says. “We’re at a relatively strong time, as far as buying. But the buyers are much more cautious. They want to have confidence in their investment.”
Herbick says BSCs often “wake up and just want out” of their businesses, and try to opt for a quick sale. Unfortunately, that’s not how the market works. M&A experts say BSCs should take anywhere from one to three years to actively enhance the value of their businesses before feeling out buyer interest. In the long run, both the seller and the buyer benefit.
“A lot of business owners just don’t know how to do it,” says Herbick. “If you were to sell your house, you wouldn’t just wake up and say, ‘Honey, I want to sell the house.’ It’s a major undertaking. There’s a lot of value in maximizing your enterprise value and in terms of just having a business.”
“When you’re selling your house you do things to it — you paint, do the landscaping, clean the windows — everything is neat and staged properly,” says Graddon. “What we’re recommending is that your company should always be like that. If you get it all ready, so it’s beautiful and presentable, you’ll be ready when an opportunity comes up. Then you’re able to exit.”

AT&T and T-Mobile users have been able to have their Android Market purchases billed directly to their wireless account for awhile now. Sprint is the latest US carrier to join the party, which means its Android users have one less place on the internet they have to store their credit card number:
The momentum continues and today we're excited to announce that Direct Carrier Billing is now available on Sprint. We've begun a phased roll-out of the service that will reach all users in the next few days. When complete, Android users on the Sprint network will be able to charge their Android Market purchases to their Sprint mobile bill with only a few clicks.
We believe that Direct Carrier Billing is a key payment option because it lets users purchase and pay for apps more easily. It's also important because it offers a convenient way to buy in regions where credit cards are less common.

The information: Jonathon Aslay is a matchmaking and connection coach, but assisting folks select really love is not their main aim. The guy initially desires their consumers â who happen to be primarily females â to obtain internal serenity. Jonathon promotes women to pursue unique delight with a friendly, no-nonsense mentoring style that establishes him apart from additional experts in a. He is available each time clients text or phone call because this is over simply a position to him â this is certainly his love.
Jonathon Aslay is a relationship and connection mentor which works together with women through his realize Men NOW platform. But their preferred outcome isn’t really assisting them find enchanting interactions. More than anything, he desires them to get a hold of a happiness that can merely come from within.
“Happiness is derived on its own. In case you are pleased while the connection will come, fantastic. If in case it generally does not, that’s fantastic, too,” he informed united states.
Jonathon coaches his consumers to track down joy on their own by spending one hour just about every day on internal tranquility work and growth. Or else, he warns, the majority of will merely keep repeating exactly the same adverse habits â regardless of how many new relationships they begin.
“They can be only marketing one problem for another because they’re perhaps not working on the project,” he stated. “it is more about feeling great about yourself that you come to be magnetically appealing.”
Fundamentally, Jonathon mentioned, if people are positive about themselves, the relationships they find may find all of them.
Jonathon conveys that message through his number of mentoring programs, all made to help women enhance their self-confidence and peacefulness. These programs consist of Unlocking the Male notice, acquiring fancy on the web, and a group coaching program called Mid-Life admiration Mastery.
The latter is a monthly membership system whereby people have access to audio and video lessons, a month-to-month webinar, and a daily fb Live flow where they can ask Jonathon questions. The guy also offers a one-on-one coaching program known as Shortcut to Mr. Appropriate.
“encouraging females prepare for really love may be the first step, and holding their own fingers is the next action,” Jonathon stated. “usually, all of our pride competes with these center. We start room within minds to take out the block that enables the pride attain in how.”
From an on-line Dater to a specialist inside the Dating Industry
Jonathon don’t imagine a life as an online dating mentor. As an alternative, the guy decrease to the occupation as he started matchmaking on the web after a divorce in 2005. He found an abundance of females the guy enjoyed â and dated over 100 of these. But he never ever found a relationship.
Quickly, he recognized that his issues weren’t with the women he was matchmaking.
“we noticed some thing wasn’t proper beside me. I am talking-to ladies every single day all over the country, but I happened to be depressed, sad, and bored,” he said.
Next Jonathon began taking care of himself. The guy invested one hour every day learning spiritual leaders and treatment â any publications the guy might get his hands on in subjects on private empowerment and interior serenity.
As Jonathon found know the problems that were keeping him right back, the guy in addition began offering opinions on ladies’ online dating profiles.
“we learned I had a talent for helping females develop their own users, and that I thought, âHi, I could do that for an income,'” he stated.
Fundamentally, the guy had written a manuscript, setup a web site, and started offering advice to a wider market. He quickly found his niche into the internet dating market given that it had been one the guy realized: advising ladies in mid-life â ages 42 to 69 â have been navigating the difficult waters of internet dating.
This demographic of daters has special battles. As an example, most women in this class tend to be separated, so they really have actually different experiences than daters who’ve not ever been married.
“I serve the divorced demographic, there are a lot more mobile parts. We concentrate on helping ladies understand a few of the issues guys face, such as senior parents, household courtroom, impotence, an such like,” mentioned Jonathon.
Promoting Singles to simply take possession of these Weaknesses
Jonathon discovers a large number of his customers see by themselves as sufferers rather than victors. That frame of mind means they are believe that additional celebration is always the issue and that they’re faultless.
“Women often act like martyrs or sufferers when you look at the dating procedure, and some wont get possession of one’s own faults,” he stated
Lots of daters in addition find training simply because they want a quick fix. They think that a commitment is focused on falling in love but they aren’t prepared to make the work it requires to create a long-lasting cooperation. That is why the techniques available from numerous dating coaches tend to be condemned to fail because, while they can help women find times, they won’t resolve any fundamental dilemmas.
“a relationship, in itself, must be reasonably easy. The difficult component is mastering forgiveness for your self and dealing with objectives,” Jonathon said.
Without a doubt, no conclusive system shows folks ideas on how to preserve healthy interactions â or how to decide on them to start with. If Jonathon could impart one thing on young adults, it might be the significance of picking a mate.
“Chemistry does not equivalent relationship success,” the guy mentioned. “When the chemistry is there right off the bat, most lovers enter a commitment without the consciousness should they express values or have appropriate beliefs.”
Rather, a healthy, long-term few need to have the four pillars to relationship success: biochemistry, discussed beliefs, compatible lifestyles, and psychological maturity. Jonathon’s job is to help his clients discover those four pillars â throughout themselves plus in the men they date.
Jonathon Aslay: The “Best Friend” to Call if you are in a Dating Crisis
Jonathon might a full time dating coach for longer than a decade because their methods are winning. Area of the reason for which his method.
“I name my personal style heart-centered revolutionary sincerity. It is drive. A little difficult love, and a lot of cardiovascular system,” Jonathon said.
This approach has encouraged the his clients to consider him as a huge brother. The guy assists females find guys well-suited in their eyes â whilst weeding out the subpar dudes.
Though they can end up being dull, Jonathon’s consumers cherish their sincerity. They even value how available they are to helping them each time they want it. For one-on-one clients, Jonathon can make himself as readily available as you possibly can. The guy does not have set many hours and it is prepared for getting together with customers every time they have actually issues. Which means he is able to adapt to the client’s routine instead of punching down at a specific time.
“My personal consumers have actually my cellphone number. I’m able to get a text information on Sunday at 10 p.m., and that I’ll log on to the device. I’d like every customer to treat me like they would their utmost friend,” he mentioned.
“generating a significant difference in somebody’s life â and helping all of them discover their internal peace â is what it’s about for me.” â Jonathon Aslay, Dating and Union Mentor
Maybe Jonathon has this type of boundless energy for their clients because the guy doesn’t view his career as a career.
“we address might work as a love, and I enable heart and market to steer myself every day,” the guy mentioned.
The fact that he is in the profession for the ideal explanations results in his achievements. The guy usually comes after his or her own delight, as he counsels his consumers doing.
“Making a difference in another person’s life â and assisting all of them get a hold of their particular interior peace â is really what it is everything about personally,” Jonathon said.

There was an interesting article in Tuesday’s Sarasota Herald-Tribune about the growing popularity of unpasteurized, “raw” milk. It is illegal in Florida to sell raw milk for human consumption because it can contain Listeria and E. coli (pasteurization is supposed to kill the bacteria), but you can get around the law by purchasing milk labeled “for pet use only.” According to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, 19 dairies are licensed to sell raw milk– for pet food– in Florida.
We take no position on the raw vs. pasteurized debate (it makes little difference to the cows), but one quote in the article caught our attention. John Fruin, chief of Florida’s Bureau of Food and Meat Inspection, told the paper, “It’s very difficult to slaughter or milk an animal and not risk some fecal contamination.”
Soy milk, anyone?

So if you live in a crowded city like Kathmandu, chances are your device was either stolen or was found by someone already. Well, all people are not quite honest and decide to keep the device to themselves rather than trying to return it. The first step is to locate your device as soon as possible. If you have lost your IMEI information, then worry not. You can use your Google or iCloud accounts to find all the necessary information for your Android and iOS devices.
Steps to follow
After you’ve found the IMEI number follow the given steps:
Call the police (100 for all the Nepalis) and tell them about your lost smartphone. You will be given a number to call. Call the provided number, tell them about the lost smartphone (again) and go to the address which will be provided. After going to the address, tell them your problem (AGAIN) and provide them the IMEI and phone number. The difficult part ends here. The police are now trying their best to find your device.
If you want to learn about how to report IMEI number for lost phones online, click here.
For Android users, use Android Device Manager and remotely lock your lost smartphone. As a lock screen message set your relative’s or close friend’s phone number. Erase the data if you have to. If you own an Android device, you can simply log in to your Google account in a new browser and type in the phrase “lost smartphone”. This will immediately give you the location where your phone was last seen online.
Go to the office of your cellular service provider and block your SIM card. You can issue a new SIM card with the same number again. All you need is the citizenship certificate with which the SIM card was registered. For people inside Kathmandu, NTC users must visit the NTC office in Sundhara (cost Rs. 50) while Ncell users can go to their nearest Ncell centers (free).
Log onto your social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram and change your passwords immediately. If you have SMS verification on, you can appeal that your account has been hacked. For example, this is the link to Facebook’s hack appeal page. (Do note that you will be unable to access your account for 24 hours after the procedure has completed.

How to Manage a Lengthy Appeal for Veterans Benefits
If your claim for veterans benefits is denied, you can appeal the decision to the VA regional office and to the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA), if needed. The appeals process can sometimes be lengthy, but you can have someone represent you and help you with your appeal if you want.
You start your appeal by submitting a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) to the VA regional office. If the regional office disagrees with your claim, they will send you a Statement of the Case (SOC). To appeal, you submit VA Form 9, Appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. You can authorize someone to represent you at this point.
After you (or your representative) get finished passing SOCs, SSOCs, and responses back and forth, everything (your VA Form 9, all the evidence, SOCs, SSOCs, your responses, and a check for $10,000) is gathered together by the VA regional office and placed into your claims folder. All of this paperwork is the basis for your official appeal to the BVA.
When the VA regional office sends your appeal to Washington, it sends you a letter letting you know that you have 90 days from the date of the letter during which you can add more evidence to your file, request a hearing with the VBA, or select (or change) your representative. This is known as the 90-Day Rule.
Each time you submit new information or evidence, the VA regional office will take a fresh look at your case. If it still disagrees, it’ll write an SSOC, to which you have 60 days to respond. All of this delays the time your appeal is sent to the BVA. This is why it’s very important to submit all relevant information when you first make your claim.
When your appeal finally reaches the Washington center, it’s placed on the BVA’s docket and issued a number. The BVA reviews appeals in the order in which they were placed on the docket.
Your claims folder remains at the VA regional office until three to four months before your docket number is expected to come up, after which it is transferred to the board’s office in Washington. The VA regional office will notify you in writing when your paperwork is ready to be transferred. Then the BVA will notify you in writing when it receives your file.
Until your file is transferred to the board, your local VA regional office is the best place to get information about your appeal. If your file is at the board, you can call 202-565-5436 to check on its status.
It may take several years before your docket number finally comes up. Your case is then assigned to a board member who decides on your appeal. Think of him as a judge. These board members, who are attorneys experienced in veterans law and in reviewing benefit claims, are the only ones who can issue board decisions.
Trying to speed up your veterans benefits appeal
If you believe your case should be decided sooner than others that were filed before yours, you can request to have your case advanced on the docket. To submit a motion to advance on the docket, write directly to the board (not the VA regional office) and explain why your appeal should be moved ahead of other appeals.
Because most appeals involve some type of hardship, you need to show convincing proof of exceptional circumstances before your case can be advanced. Some examples of exceptional circumstances are terminal illness, danger of bankruptcy or foreclosure, or a VA error that caused a significant delay in the docketing of an appeal.
To file a motion to advance on the docket, send your request to Board of Veterans Appeals (014), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20420.
Don’t get your hopes up. Over the years, the BVA has granted fewer than 3 out of every 20 requests for advancement on the docket.
Requesting a board hearing for your veterans benefits appeal
You have the right to present your case in person to a BVA member, sometimes at the local VA regional office, called a Travel Board hearing, or at the BVA office in Washington. Most VA regional offices are also equipped to hold BVA hearings by videoconference.
The supporting evidence is the prime factor in an appeal, not the hearing, and requesting a hearing can add several months to the appeals process.
If you didn’t ask for a BVA hearing on VA Form 9, you can still request one by writing directly to the board. This is subject to the 90-Day Rule. Make your request to Board of Veterans Appeals (014), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20420.
When a hearing will be held depends on what type of hearing you request and where you request that it be held.
Because videoconference hearings don’t involve travel by board members, they are less complicated to arrange and can be scheduled more frequently than Travel Board hearings.
Bracing yourself for the ultimate decision
When your appeal’s docket number is reached, your file is examined by a board member who decides whether to approve your appeal, deny your appeal, or remand it. A remand is an appeal that is returned to the VA regional office, usually to perform additional work on the case.
After performing the additional work, the regional office may issue a new decision. If a claim is still denied, the case is returned to the board for a final decision. Your case keeps its original place on BVA’s docket, so it’s reviewed soon after it’s returned to the board.
If your claim is approved, the board notifies the VA regional office that has jurisdiction over your case, and it will start your benefits automatically. You won’t have to reapply to receive them.
If your appeal is denied, the board will send you a Notice of Appellate Rights letter that describes additional actions you can take.
Your decision will be mailed to the home address that the board has on file for you, so it’s extremely important that you keep the VA informed of your correct address. If you move or get a new home or work phone number, you should notify the regional office handling your appeal.

(Must Read) The most hated bull market of all time? – Link here
Lot of the rally in market has driven by global rally, which in turn has a lot been driven by rally in US indices, here is interesting reason why this rally may just poop (or rather it has already started), whole letter (from which I have taken) is good read here is the most interesting thing I found.
“recent years’ low borrowing costs have encouraged corporates to take on more debt. That has benefitted EPS growth, as much of the additional debt has been spent on stock buybacks. Given overall financial leverage in US industry, even a modest rise in interest rates in 2018 could force companies to pay down debt.
Furthermore, Trump’s tax reform incentivises US corporates to pay down debt, as a cap on interest deductibility is being introduced. When exceeding 30% of EBITDA (through 2021) or EBIT (starting in 2022), interest expenses will no longer be deductible. That could cause a meaningful number of US corporates – particularly small-cap corporates – to switch their attention from buybacks to debt reduction.
US companies have been the biggest buyer of US stocks since the financial crisis, and a change in corporate habits could have a meaningful impact on US equity returns. You should also know that, in addition to the companies included in Exhibit 6, another 5-10% of US corporates have debt-to-EBITDA in the high twenties. Those companies would probably also slow down their buyback activities.”

Users’ Rating (Click a star to rate this gun.)
Summary: Walt Rauch’s review of and rating for the Ruger Vaquero revolvers, including a range report, photos, pricing, specs, user ratings and user comments. (Click here to see all of Rauch’s handgun reviews.)
You don’t have to be a cowboy to enjoy Ruger‘s new Vaquero, a Colt Single Action Army (SAA) -style revolver. You don’t have to participate in Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) events, Cowboy Action Shooters clubs or shoot any sort of cowboy match. Simply grabbing onto an SAA grip buys you a time-travel ticket on a stagecoach. The Colt SAA grip design, now found in the Vaquero, has changed little since Samuel Colt made the 1873 SAA.
The Ruger new Vaquero is a step back, so to speak, for Ruger single-action revolvers, because this Vaquero employs the first-generation Ruger frame—the pre-1962, XR-3 style, steel grip frame. This frame was discontinued by the late Bill Ruger, Sr., and replaced by a strengthened and enlarged frame to, as best I can determine, stand up longer to the firing of heavy .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum loads. This move obviously worked. Even now, in caliber .45 LC, ammunition manufacturers and reloading manuals specify “Ruger-Only” loads, which are too powerful for other single actions, including the original Colt.
I requested two of the new Vaqueros for test and eval purposes, and at the time, I had my choice of calibers (.357 Magnum or .45 LC) and finishes (color-case blue or stainless steel), but just one barrel length: 5.5″. (Ruger now offers a 4.62″ barrel on the Vaquero as well, and a stainless finish.) I picked the color-case blued guns chambered in .45 LC.
Previously, I’d also evaluated and bought two of the original Ruger Vaqueros (introduced in 1993), also in .45 LC, but I found I just wasn’t comfortable handling those guns with their large grip and frame size. So they went to my son, Walt II, who, being more than a tad bigger than Dad, likes them and shoots them extensively in SASS contests. (“Burt Blade” is his handle, by the way.)
Not having the original Vaqueros anymore, I couldn’t verify the claim of a recontoured hammer on the new Vaquero, but its hammer spur is quite similar in configuration to the Colt Cowboy hammer spur. The new Vaquero is also said to have a new and lighter hammer spring. Again, not having its predecessor available and using my Colt Cowboy for comparison instead, the new Vaquero is much easier to cock, but the trigger pulls, which both measured 4.5 lbs., aren’t too light for me. Because I have a good-sized hand and SAA trigger guards are small, I’ve found I can’t work with a much lighter trigger pull. I once had Richard Heinie do trigger jobs on the Cowboy Colts, both nice at 1.5 lbs. and 1.25 lbs. Nice, that is, until I shot them at the range. The guns wanted to shoot before I did! I changed the parts back to the original and heavier trigger pull.
Now, if you have a new handgun, chances are very good the gun will feature a trigger lock so it can be sold in states that have a trigger lock requirement. The Ruger New Vaquero has such a device. The good news is, without someone telling you or having read the instruction book, you won’t be able to find it. In fact, you must remove the right-side grip panel to activate the lock, which is situated at the bottom of the coil mainspring inside the grip frame. You can do two things with this lock: Ignore it or use it. You can either take the grips off, or follow the instructions on page eight of the manual that show the how and where of drilling a hole in the right grip panel. To lock the gun, you insert one of the two supplied keys in the lock and rotate the key 180 degrees, locking the hammer forward.
One other major change: The new Vaqueros load like an original SAA in one regard. Per the Ruger website, the system is “… a unique reverse indexing pawl, which positively aligns the cylinder with the loading gate cutout for easy loading and unloading of cartridges …”
In other words, with the hammer fully forward, opening the loading gate allows the cylinder to turn and the charge holes line up with the loading gate cutout in the frame’s right side. Now there’s no need, as is required in the 1993 Vaquero, to either listen for a faint click and stop the cylinder movement or carefully rotate the cylinder to get the line-up right for loading. (Owners of the previous Vaquero can avail themselves of Ron Powers’ gunsmithing kit, which allows a free spinning cylinder.) You extract cartridges in the traditional manner: by pushing on the Colt-style crescent-shaped ejector rod head.
The sights are also traditional design, with the distinctive half-round blued and smooth front sight, and a fixed square-notch groove in the top of the frame strap.
Purists have long been put off by the transfer bar system found in some modern SAA-style revolvers. They like and want the four definite clicks as they cock the hammer, claiming these sounds say “C-O-L-T.” The Ruger, of course, features a transfer bar safety. This device is positioned between the hammer and the frame such that until the hammer is cocked, the bar prohibits a blow to the hammer to cause the hammer to strike the frame-mounted firing pin. Thus, the gun is safe to carry with all six chambers loaded.
Speaking of which, while doing the shooting portion of this review at the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club indoor range, I did have a problem related to the transfer bar, but I caused it myself. Not having read the instruction book or the warning on the Vaquero barrel, when I reassembled the cylinder into the frame, I failed to re-insert the base pin properly—fully to the rear and locked in. The solution to this “problem” is in the instruction book on page 23, number 5 under “Reassesmbly.” There it states, “The base pin must be fully inserted and locked in position by the base pin latch. If the base pin is not fully inserted and locked, the transfer bar may catch under the firing pin when the hammer is being cocked.”
The base pin is a snug fit, and to make sure the cylinder pin is fully seated, you must firmly hold down the base pin latch while inserting the pin. It’s possible, as I learned, to fail to do this. I let up on the base pin latch prematurely and created a fake locking of the parts. Operating the gun doesn’t disclose this mistake, for the hammer will cock and release. Simply put, make sure the pin is fully seated. My mistake strongly reconfirms the admonition to read the instruction book before using any new firearm, for what you think you know is not necessarily what you need to know!
The only other “problem” I experienced was not the gun’s fault either. Seeing the sights in normal daylight is not all that difficult, even for mature eyes, but indoors under fluorescent lights is a different story. The sights disappeared when superimposed on a black 5.5″ Shoot-N-See bullseye target. The cure: I fired one shot in the buff cardboard IDPA target and used the hole as an aiming point. Doing so, I was able to shoot five-shot groups that measured 3″ or less at 18 yards, with one exceptional effort down to 2″ using Winchester Cowboy Action 250-grain loads.
I was impressed by how easily the actions cycled and how the checkered “hard rubber” grips (in reality a synthetic of some sort), coupled with the smaller grip size (compared to the original Vaquero), aided the manipulations. After all, pretty is nice, but the gun has to shoot to be worth anything.
Later that week, Joe Venezia and I went back to the outdoor range to chronograph a variety of factory ammunition and do some fun shooting. Fellow club member Mike DiNunzio was already on the range and had his PACT Mk IV chronograph set up and offered it for our shooting as well. Also present was Mike O’Keefe.
With three “helpers,” the guns got a good workout, during which the inevitable question arose: “Can you fan it?” Well, for the legions of us raised on the cowboy shows of the 1950s and for those followers of the early Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns, the answer is yes, the new Vaquero is quite fannable. Of course, my efforts didn’t begin to resemble those achieved by the celluloid cowboys!
To make fanning more fun (if done safely), load up with the CorBon U.S. Cavalry Service Black Powder Ammunition. This 250-grain lead ball ammo is, quoting from the ammo box, “loaded with modern black powder to give the realistic smoke and kaboom of the traditional loads of the Old West.” They certainly do! No one had any malfunctions (probably thanks to me not taking the guns apart), and everyone certainly appeared to enjoy cowboying (safely) for a few hours.
A few years ago, when I acquired my two Colt Cowboy SAAs, I also obtained cowboy leather gear from both GALCO and DeSantis. The new Rugers are snug but good fits. I had also asked Matt Del Fatti to come up with a concealment holster for the Colt, which he did, and the new Vaquero fits this as well. I could see where beveling on the front face of the Vaquero’s cylinder allows easier holstering and avoids gouging the leather.
Maybe it’s just that I’m in the winter of life, coupled with realizing that all my wars are behind me, but I now like to shoot fun guns more. The new Vaquero fits this bill to a T. In fact, the two new Vaqueros have already become my newest keeper handguns!

NOW IS THE TIME
Just home from Office Depot with my new printer, I am ready to install. I go through all the steps, even bothering to read the directions. Finally, the moment is here, I am ready to test it.
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country," I type, automatically, without a thought. As those words appear before me I think, "What the hell?" I've never given them a moment's thought! My dad taught me to do that when testing type writers, or taking a typing test. He told me to do it, so I did it.
Anyone else out there know what I'm talking about? Am I the only one on this planet that has that bit of, perhaps useless, information lodged firmly in their grey matter?
It was one thing to type those words unconciously all those many years ago, it's another thing today, entirely. I am not going to get "all political" on you. I'd love to, don't get me wrong, but that is not what this blog is about. Besides, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to politics, so you'd be wise to ignore me.
I'll say this, though, now IS the time for all good humans to come to the aid of their country. There's never been a better time. Come to the "aid". You can take that word and massage it all you want. However you see yourself coming to the "aid", I implore you to do it.
Thanks. Gotta get down on my hands and knees and pray now. That's my "aid" this morning.

What's New in Visual Basic 2010
This page lists the new and enhanced features available in Visual Basic 2010. Click the links in the following sections to read more about a feature.
The following section describes a new feature of the SP1 version of Visual Basic 2010.
Compiler Runtime Switch
The /vbruntime compiler option has a new /vbruntime* switch that embeds core functionality from the Visual Basic Runtime Library into an assembly. You can use this switch to enable your Visual Basic application to run on platforms that do not contain the Visual Basic Runtime Library.
The following sections describe the new and enhanced features of the original release version of Visual Basic 2010.
Auto-implemented properties provide a shortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code to Get and Set the property. For more information, see Auto-Implemented Properties (Visual Basic).
Collection initializers provide a shortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values. Collection initializers are useful when you are creating a collection from a set of known values, for example, a list of menu options or categories. For more information, see Collection Initializers Overview (Visual Basic).
Implicit Line Continuation
In many cases, implicit line continuation enables you to continue a statement on the next consecutive line without using the underscore character (_). For a list of all the cases in which you can omit an underscore character, see Statements in Visual Basic.
Multiline Lambda Expressions and Subroutines
Lambda expression support has been expanded to support subroutines in addition to multiline lambda functions and subroutines. For more information, see Lambda Expressions (Visual Basic).
New Command-Line Option for Specifying a Language Version
The /langversion command-line option causes the compiler to accept only syntax that is valid in the specified version of Visual Basic.
Type Equivalence Support
You can now deploy an application that has embedded type information instead of type information that is imported from a Primary Interop Assembly (PIA). With embedded type information, your application can use types in a runtime without requiring a reference to the runtime assembly. If various versions of the runtime assembly are published, the application that contains the embedded type information can work with the various versions without having to be recompiled. For more information, see /link (Visual Basic). For examples, see Walkthrough: Embedding Type Information from Microsoft Office Assemblies (C# and Visual Basic) and Walkthrough: Embedding Types from Managed Assemblies (C# and Visual Basic).
Visual Basic binds to objects from dynamic languages such as IronPython and IronRuby. For more information, see Working with Dynamic Objects (Visual Basic) and Walkthrough: Creating and Using Dynamic Objects (C# and Visual Basic).
Covariance and Contravariance
Covariance enables you to use a more derived type than that specified by the generic parameter, whereas contravariance enables you to use a less derived type. This allows for implicit conversion of classes that implement variant interfaces and provides more flexibility for matching method signatures with variant delegate types. You can create variant interfaces and delegates by using the new In and Out language keywords. The .NET Framework also introduces variance support for several existing generic interfaces and delegates, including the IEnumerable<T> interface and the Func<TResult> and Action<T> delegates. For more information, see Covariance and Contravariance (C# and Visual Basic).
You can use the Navigate To feature to search for a symbol or file in source code. You can search for keywords that are contained in a symbol by using Camel casing and underscore characters to divide the symbol into keywords.
For more information, see How to: Search for Objects, Definitions, and References (Symbols).
When you click a symbol in source code, all instances of that symbol are highlighted in the document.
For many control structures, when you click a keyword, all of the keywords in the structure are highlighted. For instance, when you click If in an If...Then...Else construction, all instances of If, Then, ElseIf, Else, and End If in the construction are highlighted.
To move to the next or previous highlighted symbol, you can use CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW or CTRL+SHIFT+UP ARROW. For more information, see How to: Use Reference Highlighting.
Generate From Usage
The Generate From Usage feature enables you to use classes and members before you define them. You can generate a stub for any class, constructor, method, property, field, or enum that you want to use but have not yet defined. You can generate new types and members without leaving your current location in code. This minimizes interruption to your workflow.
Generate From Usage supports programming styles such as test-first development. For more information, see Generate From Usage.
IntelliSense Suggestion Mode
IntelliSense now provides two alternatives for IntelliSense statement completion: completion mode and suggestion mode. Suggestion mode is used when classes and members are used before they are defined. For more information, see List Members.
Visual Basic includes new sample applications that demonstrate the following features: auto-implemented properties, implicit line continuation, collection initializers, covariance and contravariance, and multiline lambda expressions and subroutines. For information about Visual Basic language samples and how to access them, see Visual Basic Language Samples.

Open to questions, especially good ones
Portrait Marcus Taylor
Marcus Taylor studies communication. To be more precise, he studies the communication between the cells in our immune system. The most important tool in this work is an ultramodern high-resolution microscope. Taylor switches on the microscope to show us how he listens in on cellular conversations. Computers hum into action and after a while the monitors light up. They show images from another world. Small white, red and green dots flicker over the screen and we perceive a mysterious crackling.
Taylor points at a group of green dots by way of explanation. “That is a cluster of signal molecules inside an immune system cell. Each dot is one molecule. When the concentration of molecules in this area of the cell exceeds a certain value it triggers a signal. For example, the immune cell then releases a transmitter substance that attracts other immune cells. Or the cell goes into action and kills pathogens.“
In Taylor’s research the central question is just how immune cells communicate at the molecular level. How do they sense the information contained in the transmitter substances released by other cells? How do they process the information and how do they pass it on? To get some answers Taylor has been working since the end of 2017 to establish his “Visualisation of Immune Signalling” lab at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology (MPIIB) in Berlin.
Born in Australia, Taylor had already spent time studying and researching in England, the USA and India before coming to Berlin. “I originally studied biochemistry,” says Taylor, “but each time I moved somewhere new I came into contact with a new research direction, and that had a major influence on my own work and where it was headed.“
So on top of the biochemistry he found himself learning biology, computer science, engineering or physics as well. “The time I spent in India was especially exciting,” says Taylor, a lanky Australian in his mid-thirties, “That was where I was exposed to theoretical physics.” Just how does theoretical physics fit in with biology? Taylor explains: “I was interested in how the cells make sure they are really passing on the right information correctly. There are old concepts in theoretical physics that deal with this very problem of quality assurance in information transmission. I applied these concepts to the communication of the immune cells – and I learnt a whole lot.“
Biochemist Taylor adopted a completely new way of thinking to achieve this, as he tells us: “At the beginning I had to find some common ground with the theoretical physicists so that I could discuss ideas with them. Once that had happened it was incredibly enriching. It helps me to think much more conceptually and formulate research questions more clearly.“
It was also the good research questions that most impressed Taylor, along with the excellent equipment, when he went for his interviews at the MPI. “It was clear to me straight away that I’d find colleagues here who I’d be able to have really fruitful discussions with. The kind of people who ask questions that drive research forward throughout the Institute.” Another argument in favour of Berlin was that the Max Planck Society was prepared to invest half a million euros in buying a high-resolution microscope, a so called “total internal reflection microscope”. “Of course, the fact that I can use it to observe individual molecules as they communicate is incredibly helpful to my research,” says Taylor.
And so the move was made. In 2017 the globe-trotting researcher moved to Berlin with his wife, his three children and all their things. “We got off to a really good start here. This city makes it easy to arrive and the kids are just soaking up the German language. Not like me. It really is child’s play for them.“
But language learning is not Taylor’s main concern at the moment. He wants to enlarge his team so interviews are item number one on his agenda. “At the moment I’m trying to find more good people to work in the lab. Young scientists who can be inspired by my topic – the visualisation of signals in the immune system.” And how will you know who to choose, Marcus? “If they ask good questions. Good questions drive things forward.“

Before the current golden age of comics re-prints, these comics were the only way to see stories from the forties, fifties and sixties. I enjoyed seeing what Batman, Superman and the rest were up to before I was born. And seeing the work of great creators of those eras.
Before the 100-page "super spectaculars," however, there were "DC Giants," which appeared on comics racks between 1970 and 1976. And that's what we highlight today.
As I said here last week, this series of galleries was inspired by Back Issue magazine, which recently did its own study of DC's thick, re-print titles. I highly recommend Back Issue #81, which you can order here.
Also from the 1970s is the DC Special series, which we'll take a look at sometime down the road.

1001 Review: A Dry White Season by André Brink
Bookworm says read this book.
A Dry White Season by André Brink
Published in: 1979:
Reviewed by: Book Worm
Synopsis from Goodreads: As startling and powerful as when first published more than two decades ago, André Brink’s classic novel, A Dry White Season, is an unflinching and unforgettable look at racial intolerance, the human condition, and the heavy price of morality.
Ben Du Toit is a white schoolteacher in suburban Johannesburg in a dark time of intolerance and state-sanctioned apartheid. A simple, apolitical man, he believes in the essential fairness of the South African government and its policies—until the sudden arrest and subsequent “suicide” of a black janitor from Du Toit’s school. Haunted by new questions and desperate to believe that the man’s death was a tragic accident, Du Toit undertakes an investigation into the terrible affair—a quest for the truth that will have devastating consequences for the teacher and his family, as it draws him into a lethal morass of lies, corruption, and murder.
Bookworm’s Thoughts: This is a difficult book to read and enjoyed is the wrong word to describe my feelings what I can say is I started this Sunday morning and finished it Sunday evening I would have read it straight through without stopping but the hubby insisted on being fed.
I have seen this book criticised for being a “white” book and yes in my opinion it is a white book but in its defence it is not trying to be anything else. This is a book written by a white South African man with a white South African man protagonist, all the events are seen through the eyes of a white South African man.
The book almost feels like a memoir in the foreword we are told that the story that follows has been pieced together from the writings an old friend has sent to our narrator and we are also told that the old friend has died since sending the papers. At various points throughout the book the narrator adds his own thoughts and feelings which adds to the memoir style feeling. It also adds an element of unease to the story as the reader knows that the protagonist is going to die we just don’t know how and why.
While the characters did feel 3 dimensional and real to me my one criticism of the book is that the protagonist Ben du Toit does come across as being too good to be true, maybe I have no faith in humanity but a man who is willing to risk everything including his family and his life in the pursuit of the truth does seem unreal in this day and age. That said this is a work of fiction and in fiction we can believe in the everyman who becomes a hero in his own life. It is also this tenacity and the refusal to give up that allows the book to explore the injustices of the law and the way those who refuse to toe the line are treated.
My favourite quotes:
“Ben was shocked by Stanley’s nonchalance “How can you say that? I was hoping all the time – “
“You’re white” As if that summarised everything. “Hope comes easy to you. You’re used to it.”
“Surely that’s got nothing to do with black or white!”
“Don’t be so sure.”
“We can’ win lanie. But we needn’t lose either. What matters is to stick around.”
I wanted to help. Right. I meant it sincerely. But I wanted to do it on my terms. And I am white, they are black. I thought it was still possible to reach beyond out whiteness and blackness. I thought that to reach out and touch hands across the gulf would be sufficient in itself. But I grasped so little, really: as if good intentions from my side could solve it all. It was presumptuous of me.”
Who would like this? Personally I think everyone should read this book if I have to be specific if you have an interest in South African history and particularly the injustice of life under the apartheid system read this.
We want to hear from you! Have you read this book? What did you think?

Autumn suiting is a sure way to stand out! Whether you’re going to work, lunch or for day-drinks a suit is an edgy option and can be styled to ‘suit’ any occasion! Masculine chic to its fullest. When I wear this H&M x Giuliva Heritage collaborative collection suit I feel powerful. The single-breasted camel twill jacket has a dramatic wide lapel and feminine aesthetic, finished with tortoise shell decorative buttons and a lavish striped lining. The ankle-length twill tailored trousers fit like a dream. As I have previously said my height makes trouser shopping a strain, but this shape is truly perfect. H&M collaborations are incredible; they team up with a luxury company to produce more accessible products. You can really feel and see the difference in quality in this collection. The ecru calf-length coat made with Italian premium wool is refined personified; the wide lapels, deep pockets and tie-belt details are dreamy. I styled a Zara shirt bodysuit and my father’s grey twill tie for the ultimate mannish vibe. The Zara camel felt fedora and tan leather belt accessorise the suit. This look is utterly Voguish; an autumn-must-have style.

We will be covering 18 trees in the market with neon crochet. The trees will be alive in Super Nova Neon colors and glowing el wire woven into the fabric. The market will be aglow with our night forest from Sussex to the Clarendon courtyard.
O-Town Bombers is the yarn bombing group of textile artists that was born out of Ottawa’s first Nuit Blanche in 2012. Justy Dennis wanted to cover a bus in crochet but she knew she could not do it alone. A few calls for crocheters and knitters on social media sites produced 22 members to-date. Each project that they take on not only produces a piece of art that is fantastic and fun to look at but it also gives back to the city. With each torn down installation, blankets are made and distributed to High Jinx, a local business that provides social assistance to the vulnerable in our community. We just want to make our city look pretty. Our daily views are mostly brick and steel. Plastering the city with graffiti would be beautiful but its very destructive and costly to repair. Covering the city in yarn is pretty, cozy and easily removed. Our goal is to make people smile and that is usually what happens when they see a large city structure covered in crochet.

ELBURN—North American Pro Wrestling invaded Elburn last Saturday night, and for anyone who caught the show at the Elburn Community Center, don’t be surprised if some of the wrestlers featured on that card eventually land in the mecca of pro wrestling: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
“The show (on April 21) was unbelievable. We have the best group of recognizable talent you could possibly have in the Midwest, as far as wrestlers go,” said Randy Ricci, who serves as chief operating officer of NAPW. “Our talent roster are guys who are hungry and work their tail off. They want to be stimulated in hopes of getting that next spot. These guys work harder than the guys in WWE, because they’re on their way up … and I’ve gotten a lot of guys hired by WWE.”
The show at the community center only drew about 120 people, but Ricci said the performers didn’t care—they were intent on entertaining and dazzling those in attendance.
“After shows, I get a chance to talk to wrestling fans of all ages—from 6-year-old kids to people who are 80 years old—and they say, “Oh my gosh, I would put this level of action up against World Wrestling Entertainment any day of the week,” Ricci said.
Ricci, who was brought on by Midwest-based NAPW earlier this year, has been in the wrestling business since 1988 and has an extensive resume, having served as a performer, production manager, promoter and television producer for companies such as WWE and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Wrestling under the alias of “Jerry Fox” while in WWE, Ricci had the privilege to square off against squared-circle legends such as Ravishing Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Dino Bravo, Earthquake, Big Boss Man, King Kong Bundy and Haku.
“It’s a heck of an industry,” Ricci said.
NAPW was founded last year by Joey Rose and Chris Koley. According to Ricci, the company’s roster currently features 12 veterans and an additional eight to 10 rookies. He said the average age for wrestlers who enter NAPW is about 22 years old, and many of these kids hail from Rockford, Ill., downtown Chicago, Janesville, Wis., and Griffith, Ind. NAPW does about 200 dates each year, so there’s plenty of experience to be had by anyone who wrestles in the company’s ranks.
Ricci raved about NAPW rookie grappler Anthony Antonelli.
“What a gifted athlete he is. There’s nothing this kid can’t do in the ring, and he’s got heart like you wouldn’t believe,” Ricci said.
Anyone interested in attending an NAPW show is in luck, as the company will return to the Elburn Community Center for an event on Saturday, May 12. The main event that night will feature NAPW Heavyweight World Champion Pauly Thomaselli in a title defense. If you need further incentive to attend, Ricci can help with that.
“Independent wrestling organizations have popped up all over the Chicago area (as of late), and they’re kind of a dime a dozen, and I am not trying to pick on anyone else, but I am someone who has been through every facet of the industry and worked for every company,” he said. “I’ve been all over the world and have made a living in wrestling … that’s why (NAPW) brought me on the first of this year.”

Indicine reader Gohar Baghramian, was kind enough to send her hand-drawn sketches of some of the famous names in India. Below is her message
“I am not a professional painter, drawing is just a hobby for me. Being a big fan of Bollywood, decided to start my collection of Indian celebrities’s portraits. this is just the beginning… some more are comming up… hope you’ll like them :)”
We quite liked her sketches of Deepika Padukone, Yuvraj Singh and Suhana Khan (SRK’s daughter). The Katrina Kaif portrait though, could have been a lot better. What do you think?

Chiropractic Sports Medicine, Fort Wayne
Frequently Asked Questions
Q–What is chiropractic?
A–Chiropractic is the manual treatment of muscloskeletal issues (not just a spine injury). Known for its adjusting (manipulation), many times chiropractic also involves electric therapies, rehab, massage, nutritional counselling.
Q–Is chiropractic care safe?
A–There is inherent risk every form of healthcare, however when done properly the risk of any adverse side effects are extremely rare. The most common problems that arise are sprains/strains when an adjustment is not properly administered. The common question asked is about stroke caused by neck adjustments. Currently there is no concrete numbers supporting or denying these claims, but the most scientific research is showing the risk as extremely unlikely as low as 1 in 10,000,000. And when the adjustment is done with minimal to no added rotation or extension (more lateral flexion) that number is considerably less.
Q–What type of education do chiropractors get?
A–Chiropractors must have a Bachelors degree prior to entering chiropractic school. A chiropractic education follows very closely to Medical School with a trade off of more anatomy for less pharmacology. Chiropractors even have to do full anatomical dissections, both male and female sensitivity training to graduate, pediatrics, and psychology.
Q–What is that “crack” noise?
A–The sound heard during an adjustment (“cavitation”) is the release of ‘gas bubbles’ within the joint. The joint contains both joint fluid and gases, increased pressure surrounding the joint ‘carbonate’ the joint. An adjustment decreases the inner joint pressure and releases this carbonation (like opening a champagne bottle).
Q–Is chiropractic treatment ongoing?
A–Chiropractic treatments for an injury should be limited to the minimum it takes to restore maximum health. It is also a great benefit to help maintain good health before an injury occurs. That being said the healthier you can be on your own the less often you will need a chiropractor. But beware once you realize how good you can feel you may not want to stop going.
Q–Can I speed the healing process?
A–The easy answer is ‘Follow the directions given by the Doctor’.

Fundraiser episode to support WBAI and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Focus on and understanding breast cancer prevention with Ingrid Edstrom nurse practitioner, who’s tagline is “Prevention is the Cure”. Ingrid shares information from one of her recent CD series: Proactive Breast Wellness Program.
Posts Tagged ‘Carol Petersen’
Carol and Corinne went to unique health conference last week: International College of Integrative Medicine on Ending Pain, and kept saying “We wish our audience could hear this”. The information and some of the statistics were astounding:
31% of adults come into doctors office complaining of fatigue.
25% come in relation to pain
30% come into office for anxiety and depression
Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, author of Three Steps to Happiness, joins Corinne and Carol to discuss the pursuit of happiness.
Happiness is our natural state of being. It is obvious when you look at little children before they take on society’s beliefs. Their natural state is to feel all of their feelings without resistance, leaving them free to spend most of their time being happy and playful. By applying Dr. Teitelbaum’s simple three-step principles in this book, you can develop the ability to be happy whenever you choose!
Learn to to implement these three steps, and how to handle stress, fear and adrenal issues.
