Do you know your Self
or are you just like most of the people,
wasting time trying 2 change other people
just 2 suit your own Self ?
Amongst your many Selves,
which one is really yours ?
searching 4 one’s truest
& purest Self ? Amongst your many
died Selves & 2 be born Selves, there is one Self
that is really yours ! Which Self is really yours
if not the Self you are right now or
at least are supposed 2 be ?
Do you know who
& how you are really ?
Do you know what you generate,
which effects your presence creates ?
Do you ever stop & take a look at yourself
& your actions & not just in a mirror ?

Today’s small IoT devices with small CPUs and small batteries have to be optimized for minimal resource use. The explosion of data transmissions from IoT can burden network bandwidth and storage costs in the Cloud. Data security cannot be compromised and has to evolve in this new environment.
CENTRI uses both industry standard encryption and proprietary patented technology to process data and transform it into a revolutionary new form where it is safe, secure, and small both while in transit and at rest. The optimization of the entire process is at the heart of CENTRI IoTAS.
How Optimization Works
Encryption usually makes data grow/expand. Compression makes it smaller but without data protection. CENTRI does both, simultaneously.
Unlike traditional systems where data is encrypted first and then compressed in a second step, CENTRI encrypts and compresses the data simultaneously using a single copy (cache) of the data. This dual process has now been optimized by CENTRI. Whether you choose our streaming ciphers utilizing Salsa20, ChaCha20, symmetric keys, and ECC key exchange in our CSC product or encryption in our CDP product, both the final data output and the operations on that data are extremely efficient.
Optimized for data size, protection (encryption), CPU use, and battery life – totally optimized data security by the IoT Security professionals at CENTRI.
- Final data is protected with top-tier industry standard encryption
- Final data is significantly smaller (up to 80%) than the original anywhere it exists
- Very low battery power and <2% CPU cycle usage

However, if one takes a minute to look at the situation, the possibility seems less remote.
First, I'll go out on a limb and assume Nnamdi is a very rich man, coming off a contract that paid him $45.3 million over his last three seasons in Oakland.
Second, Asomugha has played 8 seasons in the NFL, never reaching the playoffs or even posting a winning season. 2010's 8-8 mark was the Raiders' best during his career.
Third, (another assumption) at this point in his career, I think Nnamdi would relish a chance to consistently play on a Super Bowl contender.
Fourth, he has a friendship with Charles Woodson that dates back to his rookie season. Although Woodson said he would not be making any recruiting calls, he also said in the same interview that he would be willing to move to safety to accommodate Nnamdi, if (Green Bay defensive coordinator) Dom Capers thought signing Asomugha was the best move in order to win another championship in 2011.
Fifth, it's hard to believe Dom Capers wouldn't love to add Nnamdi Asomugha to his defense.
So if the rumor that Nnamdi would be willing to take less money for a chance to win turns out to be true, there's no better place for him to go than Green Bay.
Adding running back Ryan Grant (returning from injury), tight end (and budding star) Jermichael Finley, and Nnamdi Asomugha to a starting lineup that managed to win the Super Bowl would build a team with the potential to be the greatest of all time. Grant and Finley missed most of the 2010 season with injuries, and having them (along with Asomugha) in 2011 would be huge.
Personally, I believe the Packers are poised to repeat with or without Asomugha, but having a player of his caliber would set the team up well for the future when Charles Woodson hangs it up.
As general manger, you must make decisions that allow your team to compete for a Super Bowl every season. Thompson has done a great job of doing so, and landing Asomugha at a discount would be a significant coup for the Packers and a personal accomplishment for Thompson. The move would virtually assure his team a smooth transition into the post-Charles Woodson era, which should be taken as seriously as the post-Favre era was within the Thompson regime.
The idea is to build a dynasty, not just a one year wonder, or as former Packers general manger Ron Wolf termed the Packers 96' championship, " A fart in the wind."
In my mind, the Packers have the opportunity to capitalize on the opportunity that Nnamdi Ashomogha's free agency presents. Asomugha's friendship with Charles Woodson and Green Bay's ascending position within the league make the Packers an attractive destination that shouldn't be dismissed off-hand. For the packers, adding Asomugha could be as important as drafting Aaron Rodgers was during in 2005, when a legitimate number one pick slid to the Packers at number 24.

Yes its possible...Just got out of the test center with a score of 720 (Q47 V42), the lowest in quant I have ever scored and the highest in verbal (after my score went up to 680 - 720 range).
I will follow up on this post (with a proper debrief) later but for now, thank you every one for all the material that you have posted here. This forum was very helpful, especially during the middle of the prep.
For now, time to crack my Johnnie Walker
Have a great evening.
I wrote a long debrief and got signed off the GMAT club...So the debrief is lost...Will get back to it some other time
The first GMAT practice CAT - Kaplan
- 540 (you never forget your first)
MGMAT 1 530 (Q 29 V34)
First two low scores - not having enough time to work on last 10 quant questions
GMAT Prep 610
MGMAT 2 660 (Q46 V34)
GMAT Prep 640
MGMAT 3 630 (Q43 V33)
GMAT Prep - 710
GMAT Prep - 710
GMAT Prep - 710
1st GMAT - 660 (Q45 V35)
THEN 5 DAYS BEFORE GMAT
MGMAT 4 680 (Q48 V35)
MGMAT 5 710 (Q48 V39)
GMAT Prep 710 (Q50 V35) - I was quite hung over
MGMAT 6 720 (Q48 V40)
2nd GMAT 720 (Q47 V42)
Books Used in the order of use MGMAT SC
- I have always struggled with SC, this book is really worth all the praise it gets.Kaplan Math Workbook
and Kaplan Premier
Quant section - Good to brush up math concepts, but I personally didnt think it was any more helpful than the Official Guides.
Official Guides (Verbal, Quant, and Review) - Closest to official Questions and by the time I got to revising from OG, I was quite familiar with the topics and felt more comfortable
I spent almost 200 hours on all the prep (including the exams) for the first GMAT. The first exam didn't go so well as I took it with an hour of sleep - night before nervousness destroyed my first GMAT.
Books after the first GMAT
SC Grail and Questionbank - I think the book, SC Grail, is quite useful especially if you dont want to go over the MGMAT SC
book again. If my CR skills serve me right, this book is written by one of the GMAT club members from India. So be prepared to face bias towards Indian names in most of the examples and questions.
I personally think that the questionbank was a waste of money because there's a lot of free quesitonbanks on this website - such as the Sodenso's SC GMAT Prep questionbank. The question bank was also full of India related terms. This is not the case in the real exam and can really hurt a test taker. Now I know SC is about correcting the sentence but you can get a question wrong not because you didnt know the rules that apply but because you got distracted by the subject matter - a very frequent mistake when answering 700 level questions.
Whiplash's CR notes and SC notes + CR Question bank...
Selected questions from OGs and Kaplan
(about 100 in total for both verbal and quant) and last 50 questions of OG Review for Quant.
I didnt register for the second exam until the week before the exam. I wanted to take it as soon as possible but had to wait for 31 days after the first exam as a GMAT policy. The second time around I was way relaxed...I probably spend 20 hours on studying and took four-five CATs w/o the AWA outside the 20 hours. I scheduled the exam for Tuesday after Easter and took Thursday the previous week off. I went out till late morning both on Saturday and Sunday and was quite chilled about the GMAT. THIS IS IN NO WAY AN ADVICE FOR PROSPECTIVE EXAM TAKERS because I do tend to sustain information for a relatively longer time and the prep from my first exam helped me get 700+ on practice tests..Key TakeawaysTrust yourself
- I am a guy who chose to be average at school and college, but to be active outside. I know that the secret to good grades in school was hard work - something I would do right before the exam and score decently well. So when I spent 200 hours on GMAT (the most I have spent on an exam), I was aiming for 700. I scored horribly in SATs and got into a good liberal arts college because of my interview with the Admissions officer and this was not going to happen everytime....The way I saw it, if I am prepared to take a hefty loan on my name for a sum between 0-150K, I need to be serious about what I am doing. And doing well on GMAT will prove to myself that I am serious. At the end of the day, I need to convince myself of my actions first... Relax
- After spending long hours studying for the exam. After missing out on dinners, parties, clubs, etc etc to focus on an exam, this exam becomes a big deal. But this exam is not an exam that tests your ability to learn and regurgitate, instead it tests your ability to learn and demystify a somewhat complex problem that (for probably 99% of the time) has a logical but simple solution. First time around I changed my life around this exam, I dont know what I was thinking eating fish in the morning. Anyway, all it did was create a big stress ball in my head and the ball burst the night before. Second time around, although I was relaxed, I didnt risk it, and took a sleeping pill Again, not an advice if you are fine with sleep.
Also, once you are crossing your 700+ point every time you take the exam, do not overdo it...If you are at your score level (on different GMAT CATs - lets say GMAT Prep and MGMAT) perhaps dont study much 2-3 days before the exam.Last few questions and 5 minute timer
- This is something that probably messed my quant score in the second GMAT. I was doing extremely well in Quant; I am pretty sure I got the first 10 correct, I got like two questions on probability and combinators, and a really complex figure for stat and I am quite sure I answered them correctly. I was way ahead of time until the last 5-7 questions. I stumbled upon a question that took about 5-7 minutes of my time. In retrospect it was very stupid of me to try to solve that question as I lost all my extra time on that question. I started rushing and then came the 5 minute timer with three questions to go. THe questions were still 600 level questions so I was quite happy, but there is something about the 5 minute timer that always scared me. I rushed and skipped and didnt reach an answer for any of the last three questions. PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE WITH THE 5 MINUTE TIMER. Its very odd as it suddenly pops up. First thing in my mind then is, GO AWAY. So it can be quite distractive.Full CAT Practice with 8 minutes break
- For the second GMAT I didnt practice taking full time CAT and it was a horrendous mistake. I think I got comfortable with switching from Quant to Verbal but being a little overconfident about Quant, I never thought I would forget my strategies in Quant. As I mentioned I spent a lot of time on one of the lat 7 questions, I was surprised after the exam because I never spent that much time during practice. One thing I had trained myself to do was if its taking more than 2/3 minutes and you are not getting anywhere close, let it go. I didnt quite do that. Come to think of it, I spent more than 4 minutes on another question somewhere in the middle. So as repetitive as it may sound, please practice full CAT with 8 minutes break. You need to make yourself comfortable with the rules of the game to be able to play well.
Thats that. Anyway, its Sunday morning and I am not gonna lie, I am a little hung over so this post must contain many grammatical glitches.
Hope you all get what you want...
PS: I printed and bound the SC Grail and Aristotle Questionbank + many other question banks for verbal and quant including the Sackmans Verbal bible. If you are interested in purchasing, please contact me directly.

It usually begins with a 34-inch ultrawide display and extends to at least 43 inches or more.

I’ve been playing with Virtual Machines for some time now, and after realising I can host a number a machines on one server I’ve come up with a plan to put all my company’s servers on one box. The tower I bought for my plan isn’t cutting it though, what do you recommend?
Putting all your servers on one box is a great plan. It’s definitely more efficient than lots of small servers, both in terms of power and space. However, trying to fit them all on a tower or desktop isn’t the way forward. You need a proper server, located in a proper data centre to ensure that your services keep running without any interruption.
For example, pick a supermicro server from this page. Yes, they’re more expensive that a standard server, but you can run so many clients off one of these powerful machines that it’s easy to justify the cost. They’re certified for VMWare, which means that you have a strong platform to be running your virtual machines off. Any having multiple machines in each rack mounted unit is a great asset, as it lets you manage the deployment of your servers and enable you to spread the load over as many hosts as you need.
As I mentioned before, these servers are designed to be mounted in a proper cabinet, rather than standing alone like the tower you mention. And while you can get yourself a cabinet, it’s worth considering if you want to put it in a data centre. A proper data centre will have resilient data connections and power supplies which means that you service will be more reliable.
I hope that helps!

Dougie Hamilton ready for NHL debut
|01.19.13 at 12:20 pm ET|
It’s cliche to say that every young hockey player dreams of one day being in the NHL, but it’s true. Dougie Hamilton will finally realize his dream when he takes the ice Saturday night at TD Garden against the Rangers.
Hamilton, 19, comes into the NHL with some big expectations. The 6-foot-5 blueliner was drafted with the ninth overall pick in 2011 and dominated the OHL last season with 72 points (17 goals, 55 assists) in 50 games.
Maybe Hamilton will deal with nerves (often times veterans will tell young players to try to hit someone as soon as possible on their first shift to get it out of their system and get comfortable), or maybe there will just be excitement. Hamilton doesn’t know exactly what it will feel like, but he’s guessing he’ll like it.
“I’m sure I’ll have a smile on my face,” Hamilton said after Saturday’s morning skate. “It’s a dream come true for me. The opportunity is really special, and I’m just going to enjoy it as much as I can.”
Hamilton’s parents will be in town for the Ontario native’s debut after catching brother Freddie Hamilton‘s game for the Worcester Sharks Friday night. Dougie didn’t go to Friday’s Worcester game, electing to rest up for what figures to be a big day. Though he may have felt like a kid on Christmas Eve, Hamilton said he “slept great.”
Claude Julien hasn’t hidden the fact that he has quite a bit of faith in the 19-year-old. In addition to putting him on an important pairing with Dennis Seidenberg, Julien has trusted Hamilton with a spot on the team’s second power-play unit.
This is the same coach who took heat (much of it unfair) for not playing Tyler Seguin enough on the power play in his rookie year, but Julien clearly likes what Hamilton brings to the table even as a rookie, and he wants to see as much of it right away as possible.
If the mistakes come from the rookie, they come. Julien would rather Hamilton play his game and learn as he goes than take a timid approach.
“If he’s still here, it’s because he’s good enough to play,” Julien said of Hamilton. “I think you’ve got to allow players to go out there and play. You’ve heard me say that before: Go out there and play. I’d rather pull him back than have to push him. So he’s got to go out there with confidence, and he’s got to go out there knowing that we have the confidence in him, and just play his game.”
Hamilton projects to be a top-pairing defenseman one day and has drawn comparisons to former Norris Trophy winner Rob Blake. He still needs to fill out his frame (he’s a bit lanky at 199 pounds, though both Seidenberg and Zdeno Chara have each gained 20 or more pounds since coming into the league as rookies) and adjust to the physical demands of the league, among other things, but Julien looks at Hamilton’s game and sees NHL experience as the only thing missing.
“He’s a pretty good all-around defenseman. What he’s got to do is gain some experience, and that will only come with time,” Julien said. “I think we all know he’s got the size, we all know he can move the puck well. We all know he skates well, we all know he’s got great hockey sense, so where is his weakness? I don’t think he has a weakness more than the only weakness he has is his lack of experience. We’ve got to allow him to get that.
“We like where he is, we like what he’s brought so far, and you’ve seen lots of guys come in the league the same way he has and do well, and we expect him to be that guy.”

Mornington + Two Bays
An iconic route along the bay, taking in much of Beach Road, it’s hard to beat a ride to Mornington on a sunny Melbourne day. Riding alongside the ocean you’ll encounter fantastic views and the opportunity to hit TT speeds on this relatively flat route. Two Bays, however, is anything but flat. A fun and spectacular climb, riders will often sprint up this hill before taking down a pizza and coffee at DOC in Mornington.
Strava Curated Route
- 67.6 mi Distance
- 4,104 ft Elevation
- Road Ride Type
What Others Are Saying
Arthur's Seat - only 3km or so long but with an average gradient of over 8%, this punchy climb is fantastic, with a view at the top to make it worthwhile.
Two Bays itself is just long enough with sufficient gradient and variation to hurt (says something about us cyclists) at speed. A great test of relative fitness all through the year!

State trooper injured after driver flees traffic stop
Officer pulls car over, issues field sobriety test
A Wisconsin state trooper was dragged by a vehicle after pulling the driver over Friday night.
The incident happened just before 11:30 p.m. on Interstate 94 in Jefferson County.
Police said the trooper saw the vehicle driving recklessly, traveling 86 mph and swerving from lane to lane. The trooper pulled the car over and issued a field sobriety test.
The driver was allowed to perform the tests in his vehicle due to poor weather, according to a press release. The driver then attempted to flee the scene.
The officer was dragged about 100 feet after latching on to the vehicle through the open driver's side window.
Jefferson County sheriff's deputies located the vehicle about an hour later.
The driver refused to stop, led police on a chase, crashed at a roundabout then ran.
His whereabouts are unknown.
Police are investigating.

What are the Thorns
Other seed fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked it, and it did not produce grain. — Mark 4:7 NET
The thorns had been chopped off, but their roots were still in the ground. Then as the seed began to grow, so did the thorns; and growing faster and more rankly than the wheat, they soon choked it out, so that it came to nothing in the end. What are these thorns? Our Lord says they are “the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches.” “Cares” are anxieties, distractions, worries. Martha was in danger of having the good seed in her heart choked out by her distracting thoughts about her household affairs. Many a promising Christian life has been dwarfed and stunted from the same cause. “The deceitfulness of riches:” thousands of spiritual lives have been starved into ghostly leanness by the desire for riches. “The lust of other things entering in, choke the word.” We have all seen people who began well; but as cares multiplied or riches increased, their zeal waned. We need, however, to look to our own hearts, and we shall probably have enough to do if we keep out all the thorns and weeds in the one little garden committed to us.
Jesus did not say these people are not Christians, but that they “bring no fruit to perfection.” The distractions of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, the lusts of others things, entering in, choke the spiritual life, stunting its graces. They lose the sweet comforts of a healthy faith. The fruits of the Spirit in them are shrivelled. They may go on working in the church, preaching, teaching, praying; but the life is wanting. What is the lesson? This: we need to watch without ceasing these hearts of ours, and let no weed or brier grown there for a day. Sometimes God himself does the weeding. He lifts out of the bosom the earthly object that is absorbing all the heart’s love. The process is sore, but the results are full of blessing.

The world is increasingly divided by walls, physically separating the human beings living on either side of them. Brilliant editing connects people living and working on both sides of the controversial barriers between Mexico and the U.S., Spain and Morocco, and South Africa and Zimbabwe. This cinematic investigation explores the building and maintenance of these WALLS as a growing global phenomenon.

When the Berlin Wall fell the end of History was proclaimed. And we shelved the idea of separation walls as part of the past. Reality is exactly the opposite. Never in the history of humanity have we built so many walls. There have never been so many fences, barbed wire, ditches and walls. There are miles of kilometres, in the most far off and different parts of the world. This film narrates real stories of people who live on both sides of very different walls. The one that divides South Africa and Zimbabwe, the separation wall between the United States and Mexico, the fence that in Melilla is used as a border between Spain and Morocco. The visual and narrative approach is centred on the wall concept, not entering geopolitical analysis or the strategic or moral assessment of the situation. The fact is that the wall exists. The fact is that there are human lives on both sides. Knowing the daily life of a few personal stories, the wall lets us talk about something much deeper. The close and intense portraits of real people, approaching their real and intimate life let us see that, on both sides, we all share the same dreams, fears, thoughts and emotions. The drama represented by each wall –a drama that must be toldlets us to transmit and celebrate an emotion that has no borders and, unlike the walls, is immune to time: the absurd symmetry of each wall serves as a mirror and lets us discover that everybody shares the same essence.

This might be surprising for you, but is true because you can now perform the best of cardiac workouts without visiting the gym. The possibility of this has been raised because of the plyometric exercises that don’t really need any machine for its performance. These are otherwise known as jump training that would maximise the flexibility of muscle within a short interval of time. During the exercise the basics being focused is the muscle expansion and contraction to improve body stamina and to keep heart strong.
Basically these kinds of training include activities to activate the quick response and elastic properties of the muscles of the body. With some traditional mode of explanation this is explained as the short jump training. You might have remembered the training of sports like basketball, volley ball, tennis and some other actions which need to jump to a short height. These are the ways in which one can easily stretch their muscles and that would give the beginning to a healthy heart.
Types of Plyometric Exercises
With reference from different sources, there are a lot of exercises that signify the plyometric varieties and they are like:-
- Plyo Pushups :-
The exercise marks its extension from the bottom position until the hands completely leave the ground. You can cushion your hands on the ground and then repeat the position for 15 seconds straight.
- Box Jumps:-
To perform this you can use a box that would fix around with the knee height and that would make you tuck your knees for your landing. Take a smooth landing on the box and then squat to the depth in parallel to the load.
This exercise is going to help with dynamic coordination. first you need to start with jogging. Then push off the left foot as it lands. During that bring the right knee to 90 degree to make the thigh parallel to the ground. Reach forward with both arms and repeat pushing off the right foot.
- 2- Leg Bounding:-
You can start the exercise in a squat position. With using your arms to propel yourself, start jumping as far forward and high. Keep your landing softly and then immediately take off into the next jump. Repeat around 10 jumps to make it the best.
- Depth Jumps;-
In this you need to stand with knee high and the feet shoulder width apart with toes near the edge of the box. Then can step off and land in a full squat position. Try to jump as high as possible.
- Jump Lunges:-
Step up into an open space and maintain width between the feet hips and make on with a comfortable lunge position and then take the best jumps possible.
These kinds of plyometric exercises are going to maximise the power that would make our muscles strong. Further this is being managed with quite quick and explosive moves that responses. Thus, it generate more of energy than those strength training. There are body parts like legs and glutes being targeted to get energized during this exercise. Most important the exercises are comfortably flexible with a combination of stretching and straining of the muscles.

Because it is actually impossible to pick only one.
How these are not behind-the-scenes images off a Wonder Woman-esque film set I DO NOT KNOW.
This is not very heroine chic.
It’s sexy and it’s snazzy and it pops (!) but it’s not heroine chic. Until this happened:
The Met Ball is the most fun night for fashion every year. Or as the ponies would say: BEST. NIGHT. EVER. Unlike other red carpet events, the Met Ball is about fashion. Fashion takes center stage, legitimately, and so we get:
Coco Rocha as a humanized My Little Pony. Humanizing the ponies in art and cosplay is a huge part of the Pony and Brony fandom (my family is planning it for an upcoming convention ourselves). But I never expected to see it so CLEARLY on the red carpet. Basically, Coco is my fashion hero FOREVER for this.
Although she’s in Fluttershy’s colors, she’s rocking Pinkie Pie’s attitude: this is MY party. But don’t worry, I found the other ponies.
I recently returned from Disney World and I already want to go back. But do you know there are rules about cosplay in the Magic Kingdom? If you are old enough to be mistaken for a Disney Princess you will not be admitted to a Disney park in princess costume (I did once go to EPCOT dressed as Fleur Delacour). So what’s a girl to do?
Ready-to-Wear Princess is both more simple and more difficult to pull off than Ready-to-Wear Superhero. Princess-like attire — soft, feminine, pretty — is ubiquitous in the girls and women’s sections. But this also makes it less distinctive. So it’s important to pay attention to detail. What’s most characteristic of Snow White’s look?
It’s National Princess Week! To celebrate, my daughters and I watched Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Snow White was the original Disney Princess after all, and seventy-five years later, she is having a banner year!
The title of this post is not meant to refer to the fact that newly single Zac Efron was photographed with every young woman at the awards show (but just sos you know, he was). No, it refers to the parade of actresses 16 to 26 that peopled the Peoples Choice “red” (it’s blue) carpet.
Let’s start with MY choice for Best New TV Drama, here are the Hellcats (Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale):
Where R-Patz sparkles, K-Stew shines:
I love this picture. She looks so MEAN. As for the Dolce and Gabanna, it suits her. I don’t like the necklace or the nail polish — both look like she’s going for “I don’t care”. As does the hair, but it’s been worse.
Remember when Kristen Stewart wore a long black gown to the Oscars and looked amazing AND amazingly like she was going to punch someone?
At least in this one (Chanel) it looks like she could follow through with the punching without too much damage to the dress.
But K-Stew wasn’t the only one who wanted to give a little peek at her gams.
Okay, she is not my pick for Best Dressed (!) but she is my pick for Most Superheroine-y. And it’s not just because she has all sorts of experience with the whole secret identity thing (it helps) but look:
She looks like a bruiser in a ballgown. She looks like she is hulking up! Look!

As of late I had felt so weighed down. Like the world was closing in on me. It was a bit of a pity party, where I would mutter a lot of "what if's" and "if only's" cause you know how productive those are. But then I started reading a book that I should have read a long time ago, called INFIDEL. It's by Ayann Hirsi Ali.
I'd picked it up a few times and I'd started it, but I'd never gotten further than a few chapters in to it. All of a sudden it was calling my name. My kind sister in law Karen had given me this book for a gift a while back, and I have to say, she must have been inspired.
The book is about Ayaan's life growing up as a Muslim girl in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. It is shockingly honest and open about the trials of her life. And as I am reading it every night, unable to put it down, constantly I am thinking in the back of my mind, "I am empowered." This woman came across struggles and situations that I can not even dream of, and she conquered them.
She rose above her oppression and the systems of inequality to be a voice for the voiceless. She was intimidated, and beaten, yet she followed her north star and tried to live her authentic life. Constantly as I've been reading this book I've been saying prayers of gratitude under my breath for the freedoms and liberties that I have enjoyed and taken for granted through out my life.
Is America perfect? No. Is our system of Democracy perfect? No. Is there absolute equality and justice for all races, genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and classes of people? No. But I can't get bogged down by the imperfection, when there is so much to celebrate. It doesn't mean that I should turn a blind eye to the issues that are important to me. But it does mean that I can look at the issues with some perspective, and see that there has been progress, and much more progress can still be made.
I really think that it was true what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, but It Bends Toward Justice." I have faith in that. I have faith in part because of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali. If she can be strong and courageous without losing hope, then so can I.

From breaking a sweat while playing during the reception, to listening to the many ways our program has changed the lives of our school partners, our 20th Anniversary Celebration was a perfect blend of gratitude and fun. The evening included senior leadership at UCLA Health, and was emceed by ESPN personalities Max Kellerman and Michelle Beadle. Guests of our celebration enjoyed a performance by Palms Middle School ballet folklorico, as well as a keynote by Los Angeles Sparks President and COO Christine Simmons. All of us at UCLA Health Sound Body Sound Mind would like to extend our thanks to those who attended on October 4!
Thank you to all of our generous sponsors and donors, our hard-working teachers and administrators, and our incredible staff (past and present) – for committing themselves to the youth of Los Angeles for over 20 years. At the end of the 2018-2019 school year, we will have installed fitness centers in more than 150 schools, impacting more than 750,000 students since our organization’s inception. Our goal is to build on the momentum and continue to partner with schools in preparing their students for a lifetime of healthy habits.

20 Free Resources for Video Creators
Published on April 23, 2019
Question:How can you find free resources on IzzyVideo.com?
I've been adding new resources to this website for the past 14 years (since 2005!).
And for the past 12 years or so, paid customers have been supporting the continued growth and development of IzzyVideo.com.
But I've also been adding plenty of free resources to the website.
Anyway, just in case you missed some of the free resources, I'll create a list here of twenty of the most popular and useful (in my opinion) resources on this website:
Related to Final Cut Pro
My Basic Final Cut Pro Course: My most popular resource. This (currently) free course gives you a complete introduction to the fundamentals of Final Cut Pro.
Small Stories Manifesto: This is the manifesto I released which I hope encourages folks to work on more short-form productions, mini-documentary style.
How to Tell Small Stories with Video: This video helps you get the ball rolling with creating your own Small Story videos.
7 Ways to Hide a Lavalier Microphone: This is one of my most popular videos on YouTube. It demonstrates 7 different ways to hide a lavalier microphone, such as under a shirt, in a tie, etc.
How to Turn a Hard Light into a Soft Light: This video about lighting for video demonstrates one of the most fundamental and important lighting concepts.
How to Get Easy Access to More Animations in Final Cut Pro: This video demonstrates a technique you can use to suddenly multiply the number of animations you can see from the 3D title in Final Cut Pro.
How to Use Animation in Final Cut Pro: This video demonstrates how to create animations in Final Cut Pro using keyframes.
Video Lighting in Small Spaces: This video demonstrates how you can create dramatic lighting, even when you're limited to a small space.
The Three Keys to Great Audio for Video: This video demonstrates the three keys to capturing great audio with your video. Of course there are more than three things to keep in mind, but these are the big ones in my opinion.
Kinetic Typography: Swinging Text in Motion 5: This video demonstrates a kinetic typography technique you can use in Motion.
Final Cut Pro Technique: How to Highlight by Repurposing the Censor Effect: This video demonstrates a way you can use the included "Censor Effect" to highlight something in the video image.
Motion Technique: Three Camera Flyover Effect: This video demonstrates a bit of an advanced technique using three cameras in Apple's Motion. Even though the Motion interface has changed since I released this video, the techniques still work and can yield an interesting effect.
Lavalier Microphone Comparison: This video demonstrates two different lavalier microphone systems, an inexpensive option against a mid-range option.
Shooting Video of Interviews: How to Create a Quality Background: This video demonstrates techniques and tools you can use to help ensure you have a nice looking background behind your interview talking head shots.
Downloads and Other Resources
I also sometimes provide links to download useful resources. If you're a Final Cut Pro user like me, you might find my titles useful.
Bundle Download: 18 Free Final Cut Pro X Titles: This is a bundle of 18 titles that you can add to your Final Cut Pro Titles library.
Download: Crawling Text in Final Cut Pro X: This is a collection of titles that use a "Crawling Text" effect. Crawling text is text that scrolls horizontally across the bottom of the screen.
Download: B-Roll Shot List: This is a PDF that includes a large number of inspiration items. You can print this list and take it out with you into the field as you're shooting to help generate ideas for B-roll shots to collect.
17 Point Quality Video Assurance Checklist: This is a checklist you can use after you're done editing a video project. It helps you double-check the quality of the video edit.
Music for Your Videos
Most video creators need to use music in their videos, so it can be a good idea to be continuously adding new music to your library.
Music Download: "New Style": A bouncy, happy piece of music.
My free Music Newsletter: I have a separate email list where I send out links to music. When you register for this email newsletter, you get three free pieces of music right away.
A Final Note
I might need to update this list from time-to-time because as I release new free content, some of the above items might drop out of the top 20.
Anyway, thank you for being a subscriber/reader/viewer, and I hope you get good use from these resources.

From September 14-16, 168 female veteran and military-connected entrepreneurs attended the 20th Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (V-Wise) conference in San Diego at the Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa on Mission Bay.
The San Diego conference offered two tracks for participants—a start-up track for new and emerging businesses and a growth track for more established entrepreneurs looking to take the next step in their business venture. Participants enjoyed sessions on social media, building communications plans, business law, human resources and building capital are available to all participants. Attendees also had the opportunity to attend a showcase of San Diego businesses and recourses available, pitch parties to practice engaging with potential lenders, mentors and investors and a dedicated discussion with established business owners about what obstacles and challenges they are facing.
The conference included notable guest speakers including Transformers actor and former Navy seal, Remi Adeleke, Angie Bastian, Co-Founder of Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn, Larry Broughton, Co-Founder and CEO of BROUGHTONadvisory and Founder and CEO of broughtonHOTELS and Neale Godfrey, founder and CEO of Children’s Financial Network.
“Veterans’ military experience uniquely positions them to succeed as entrepreneurs,” said Dr. Mike Haynie, Vice Chancellor and founder/director of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF). “The ambition, passion and perseverance exhibited by the group of entrepreneurs in San Diego was palpable and to be part of their journey as they work to live the very American dream they fought to protect is a true honor.”
The V-Wise training program helps women veterans and military spouses find their passion and learn the business savvy skills necessary to turn an idea or start-up into a growing venture. V-WISE is part of the Arsenal, a suite of entrepreneurship programs, offered to veterans, service members and their families through the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF.)

Thanks again for all your input, ssgumby reminded me of the use of negative keywords, I will have to brush up on that before I try it out.
I guess I'll just have to jump in at some point, I will bear in mind some of the things that came up here. I'm really tight with money so will hopefully find a way for maximum ROI.
My visitor number are pretty low so it would be a good way to test if my checkout procedure is any good.
What I'm going to check before I start are:-
Checkout looks good
Find cheap longtail keywords
Any other suggestions, let me know.
Is the conversion rate generally higher for paid ads? I guess the people who click on them must have a specific interest in buying.
My current conversion rate is only a few percent, but maybe the content bringing people in isn't optimal for generating sales.
I feel all warm inside being featured on the homepage!

[FOM] Mathematics ***is*** formalising of our thought and intuition
malcobe at gmail.com
Tue Jun 8 09:16:34 EDT 2010
> That is why formalising is the goal of mathematics and why
> mathematical rigour is in the blood of all mathematicians
> even when it is not directly seen that it will lead
> to so strong formal tools for our thought.
I would regard that more as a technical means (hence the word "tools"
you use) by which mathematical goals (the solution of certain
problems, and maybe even only those amenable to formalization) are
pursued, rather than as a goal in itself.
> All you mentioned above (idealization, abstraction, etc.) is
> covered by the phrase
> formalising our ***thought and intuition***
> but not vice versa! How abstraction, etc. without assuming
> formalisation would lead to, e.g. the Calculus?
The way I see it, without those skills, formalization would be
something impossible for us to achieve.
> If formal character of mathematics and mathematical rigour are
> considered only as some additional feature of mathematical thought
> then it becomes unclear why it should be ever compulsory and why all
> mathematical proofs are actually formalisable, and it is also unclear
> what is mathematics about since then it has no clear "pivot".
We humans share the right devices (I certainly do not pretend to know
which exactly they are) to perform such tasks as testing the truth of
certain assertions against what we could call our "knowledge
database", checking the performance of (sufficienlty simple)
algorithms, etc. Couldn't these be the "pivot" you are looking for?
> Formalist view on mathematics covers everything (essentially
> by one simple phrase) and does not reject (but rather assumes
> implicitly) anything whatever we could want to reasonably
> include in mathematics. Abstractions, idealisations, etc.
> do not explain the nature of mathematics because they belong
> to ANY kind of human thought about any subject matter and so
> cannot clearly distinguish mathematics from anything else.
Also, many human activities involve a certain care for the form:
poetry, music, painting, ... The purpose to solve some specific kind
of problems must not be lost of sight.

Amazon has received licenses in at least a dozen states to function as a pharmaceutical wholesaler, according to a new report, fueling rumors that the company is looking to sell medication online. Recent reports claim that Amazon has been considering entering the online pharmaceutical sales business for years, using that time to consider all the particulars about whether it wants to make this leap. Sources claim the company will make its final decision about the business move next month.
Online pharmaceutical sales aren’t new, but they’re not wildly popular, either. Amazon may change that, depending on what it could offer that is more convenient than stopping by a local pharmacy. Whether it will actually get in on this business is anyone’s guess, though; Amazon hasn’t stated either way whether it is considering this move.
Sources in past reports, though, have stated that Amazon will need to make its final yes or no decision in November. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, public records have received that Amazon has filed for and received licenses to become a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor in at least twelve states, including Oregon, Michigan, Arizona, North Dakota, Nevada, Alabama, and Tennessee.
At least one state, Maine, shows an application for the license as still pending. It isn’t clear whether any states have rejected these applications. If Amazon does proceed with these plans, it may offer some prescription medications through its website; whether this service would be limited to Prime customers as with Prime Pantry isn’t known, though.
It should be noted that a wholesaler license doesn’t mean Amazon has the ability to ship out prescription drugs. While the discovery of these wholesalers licenses indicate Amazon does have some sort of plan involving pharmaceuticals, it isn’t enough to guess what the company is up to.

|Terrax the Tamer|
|Current Alias||Terrax the Tamer|
|Aliases||Stone Dome, Tyros the Terrible, Terrax the Tamer|
|Affiliation||formerly Legion of the Unliving, Offenders, Heralds of Galactus|
|Base Of Operations||Lanlak, planet Birj; formerly mobile within the known universe|
|Occupation||Would-be-conqueror; Former Herald of Galactus; Former Dictator|
|Unusual Features||His entire body is composed of rock|
|Place of Birth||Lanlak, Birj|
|Place of Death||Lanlak, Birj|
|Creators||Marv Wolfman, John Byrne|
|First Appearance||Appearance of Death|
Tyros was originally the dictator of the small city-state Lanlak (originally called Terran) on the world of Birj, a moon of the gas giant Marman in a solar system eighty thousand light years from earth. Tyros ruled through the use of his limited power over earth and rock. This power, which apparently was a mutation unique to Tyros, enabled him to animate constructs of stone, which would patrol his kingdom maintaining his firm control. Tyros loved power and conquest, and led a life of debauchery and violence. Somehow, he came to the attention of Galactus, the world devourer. Galactus had been seeking a new herald to guide him to fertile planets, which he needed for sustenance. Galactus surmised that the common fault in most of his former heralds was that their moral values prevented them from fulfilling their duties. For a new herald, Galactus sought an individual who would have no compunction in finding worlds for him to render lifeless.
When the Fantastic Four came to Galactus to ask him for aid in their battle against the Sphinx, Galactus agreed, but only with the condition that the Fantastic Four would journey to Birj and subdue Tyros for him. The Fantastic Four reluctantly did this, and in doing so, they freed the city of Lanlak from Tyros' rule. Brought before Galactus, Tyros was exposed to Galactus' cosmic power, and was transformed into Terrax the Tamer. His minor control over stone was augmented to an incalculable degree. Now, he could affect all matter of rock and stone on nearly a planetary scale. His body was changed so that it would withstand the vacuum of space. Finally, Galactus gave Terrax a weapon called the cosmic axe capable of generating waves of cosmic force.
As Galactus's new herald, Terrax found more worlds for his master than any of the previous heralds. Terrax likened the discovery of new planets to the feeling of conquest. On several occasions, Terrax annihilated large segments of the population himself using his cosmic powers. As Galactus had hoped, Terrax's lack of morality made him a successful herald. But whereas Galactus's other heralds had a sense of loyalty to their master, Terrax had none. Indeed, he served Galactus out of fear for his master's power, but even conquered that fear on several occasions to defy Galactus' wishes. Shortly after being transformed into Galactus' herald, Terrax fled from his master and overthrew the ruling body of a small-unnamed planet. He enslaved the entire population and set himself up as the planet's deity.
Huge segments of that world's people died erecting temples and cities to glorify Terrax. Terrax planned to use the survivors of his reign as the first wave of a planned universe conquering army. But before Terrax could proceed any further, Galactus summoned his herald. Fearful of his master's wrath, Terrax hid in a black hole. Utilizing the powers of the Earth mutant Dazzler, Galactus freed Terrax and made him obedient to his will again.
But Terrax's rebellious nature could not be totally stifled, and after a while, Terrax again fled his master. This time, he went to Earth. Utilizing his power, Terrax levitated the entire island of Manhattan into earth orbit and used the lives of its millions of inhabitants to bargain with the Fantastic Four. To spare Manhattan, Terrax demanded that they destroy Galactus by attacking his ship. Galactus had by now realized that his herald had become a liability to him, Returning Manhattan to Earth, Galactus stripped Terrax of his cosmic power and the transformed alien was sent hurtling from the top of the World Trade Center down to the street below. Although seriously injured, Terrax's alien physique enabled him to survive the fall. An unidentified passerby took Terrax's broken form, unknown to both the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, who were present at the site, to a nearby hospital. He remained there for several months in a semi comatose state.
Victor Von Doom, looking for a pawn to use in a plot against the Fantastic Four, discovered that Terrax had survived. Terrax was kidnapped from the hospital and brought back to Doom's kingdom of Latveria by a squad of robots dispatched by Doom. There, after six weeks of Doom's advanced treatments, Terrax recovered. But, having been stripped of cosmic power, Terrax had no memories of having been the herald of Galactus, and thus called himself Tyros once more. Doom had recently perfected a device that was capable of endowing an individual with limited cosmic power. Tyros readily agreed to be exposed to the device's energies, as he wished revenge against the Fantastic Four. Garbed in a special suit that would channel and regulate the cosmic energies in his body, Tyros set off for New York. Unknown to him, the power Doom gave him would consume Tyros's body within a matter of hours. Thus, Doom would not be faced with an adversary whose power was vaster than his own, once Tyros had served his purpose.
Tyros defeated the Fantastic Four and, detesting the fact he was in the service of any master, he turned on Doom and immobilized the Latverian monarch in his armor. At Tyros's moment of seeming triumph, the Silver Surfer, the first of Galactus's heralds, arrived to save the lives of his friends. Tyros believed that his power level was equal to that of the Surfer's, but he soon learned that he was no match for someone who had received the Power Cosmic from Galactus himself. Tyros was forced to use his powers to their limit in order to combat the Surfer. This only served to hasten his inevitable deterioration. As the two former heralds of Galactus engaged in battle, Tyros was totally consumed by the Power Cosmic.
Tyros irradiated remains contaminated the soil at the site of the battle. Eventually Genetech inadvertently resurrected Terrax when they used a device to gather up all of the irradiated soil. This version of Terrax was little more than a sentient rock monster. The threat of Terrax was what led to the assembling of the original New Warriors team. The New Warriors defeated Terrax by separating him from the ground. He had needed the ground to keep his body from deteriorating. Months later Genetech had gathered the remains of Terrax and kept them in a device to keep Terrax from reconstituting himself. Harmon Furmintz absorbed the power of Terrax hoping to stop a battle between the New Warriors and Genetech's team Psionex from destroying the Genetech facility. Harmon miscalculated and was completely absorbed by Terrax. This fixed Terrax's previous weakness of needing to be connected to ground. Terrax later fought the New Warriors, the Fantastic Four and Mathemanic and Impulse from Psionex while he wreaked a path of destruction through Long Island. The battle was ended when the Silver Surfer arrived and grabbed Terrax and dumped him on the uninhabited planet Pluraris VI a planet almost completely covered in water.. The Silver Surfer dumped Terrax's ax on an asteroid.
Terrax was later freed from Pluraris VI by the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer was gathering all of the former heralds of Galactus to fight Galactus's herald Morg. Terrax was reunited with his ax and aided Silver Surfer, Air Walker, Firelord and Nova (Frankie Raye) in defeating Morg. After Morg killed Nova Terrax slew Morg with his ax despite the Silver Surfer begging Terrax not to do so. Terrax then stole Morg's ax to use as his own.
A short time later Galactus resurrected Morg. Morg and Terrax fought but were captured by Tyrant. Eventually they aided the Silver Surfer, Gladiator, Beta Ray Bill and Ganymede in defeating Tyrant. Thanos later recruited Terrax, Genis, and Ganymede to fight Tyrant. Tyrant at this time was controlling Morg. Terrax freed Morg from Tyrant's thrall and they promised to kill each other another time. The Silver Surfer and Nova (actually Mephisto in disguise) prevented Terrax from plundering the treasures of the planet Tultac.
Terrax was later captured by the forces of Annihilus as an unwilling elite soldier via mind-control as the Annihilation Wave swept across the universe. However, after Annihilus was killed by Nova (Richard Rider), Terrax eventually freed himself and his fellow prisoners Paibok and an older Infant Terrible (known as The Delinquent). The three escaped to a planet ruled by a tyrant parasitic being. Randau the Space Parasite. After killing this being, Terrax discovered that the inhabitants were content to live in subservience and in a rage he destroyed the planet. He then abruptly departed from Paibok and the Delinquent into unknown space.
Terrax conquered the moon of Birj, seemingly slaughtering both the Science Council and the Royal Family. He was warned by Sam Alexander, the newest member of the Nova Corps, that the Phoenix Force was racing straight towards Birj. He begged Terrax to evacuate, but Terrax refused, saying he would fight whatever threat faced him head on. The Phoenix consumed Birj and Terrax was killed in the destruction with all of the Landlaks.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
- Earth Manipulation: Terrax's telekinetic/ psionic ability to manipulate the molecules of rock and earth has been augmented by Galactus's transformation at least a hundredfold. Terrax can move planetary masses up to 100 miles in diameter. He can move asteroids of 10 miles in diameter at speeds of up to thousands of miles per hour. He can control the direction of a swarm of meteors within 100 miles of his person. Through concentration, he can affect a small piece of matter 1000 miles away from him. The farther the distance, however, the less mass he is able to affect. Standing on a planetary surface, he can affect tectonic plates sufficiently to cause earthquakes and create chasms in the surface thousands of feet deep or wide. Deploying his powers to the maximum extent, he can separate a landmass the size of Manhattan Island and levitate it miles off the Earth's surface. On worlds with lesser gravity, he can lift even greater masses.
- Superhuman Strength: Like all of Galactus' heralds, Terrax is superhumanly strong and is capable of lifting about 75 tons without supplementing his strength with his cosmic energy. However, while supplementing his strength, Terrax is temporarily capable of lifting somewhere well in excess of 100 tons.
- Superhuman Speed: Despite his great size and bodily density, Terrax can run and move at speeds superior to that of the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Stamina: Terrax's cosmically powered musculature produces almost no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him almost limitless levels of superhuman stamina. However, since his brain is still composed of conventional organic tissue, he does occassionally require sleep in order to dream.
- Superhuman Agility: Terrax's agility, balance, and bodily coordination have all been enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Terrax's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Durability: Terrax's body is composed of a flexible, rock-like material that is considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than the bodily tissues of a human being. Terrax's body can withstand exposure to temperature extremes from 50 degrees above absolute zero to the interior of a small sun and the pressure up to 100 Earth atmospheres. His body is also capable of withstanding powerful energy blasts and concussive force up to a fall at terminal velocity from the limit of Earth's exosphere. Terrax's body is also designed to fully withstand the rigors of travel through deep space and is sustained by the Power Cosmic, meaning he has no need to eat, drink, or even breathe.
- Flight: Terrax, like all of Galactus's heralds, is able to enter warp-space and negotiate through it in order to cover great spatial distances. Traversing through the normal universe, he is able to attain 75% the speed of light, or roughly 139,500 miles per second.
|Power Grid |
Though, like Galactus' other heralds, he prefers to use his energy powers in combat situations, Terrax is a formidable hand to hand combatant.
Cosmic Axe: Terrax wielded a cosmic axe which had several powers of its own. It was capable of emanating waves of destructive force sufficiently powerful to rend a tear in Galactus's own ship. It could also project highly impervious force shields. Since it operated independently of rock and earth, the axe augmented the scope of Terrax's power.
The others of Tyros's race were shown to be telepathic but Tyros has never shown this ability.

I didn’t know any better. Every summer, I lathered my fair and super sensitive skin kids up in the highest SPF sunscreens I could find to keep them safe in the sun. Turns out, I may have been doing more harm than good. Want to protect your family from the sun this summer?
Protect Your Family This Summer
My oldest daughter has very fair, sensitive skin. She struggles with eczema and irritation year round. In the Winter, the heater and dry air causes dry patches. In the Spring and Fall, her allergies causes eczema. And in the Summer, no matter how many sunscreens I tried, they all irritated her skin. We lived down the street from the beach, and this was the box of sunscreen in my garage. Guess which one is the least safe? You’ll be surprised… I certainly was.
Research Sunscreens at EWG
The Environmental Working Group publishes an annual report reviewing and rating sunscreens for safety. Many of the sunscreens you find on retail shelves at your local super market or pharmacy, especially those with high SPFs, in convenient aerosol sprays, and even those marketed as Baby or for children, contain toxic chemicals linked to hormone disruption and reproductive toxicity, organ damage, cellular changes, and cancer. They also cause skin irritation.
High SPFs are dangerous, because while they may protect against sunburn (UVB rays) for longer periods of time, they may be less effective against blocking just as harmful UVA rays. Convenient aerosol sprays often introduce additional harmful chemicals with the added risks of inhalation.
Active Sunscreen Ingredients
The active ingredients in sunscreen – the ones that protect you from the sun – come in two forms: chemical filters and/or mineral filters. The most common sunscreens contain chemical filters. And the most dangerous of these is oxybenzone. It causes high rates of skin allergy, and mimics estrogen when absorbed into your body, causing hormone disruption. It has been associated with endometriosis in women. Generally, the mineral filters, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are much safer, as they are not absorbed by the skin.
Additionally, many sunscreens, and personal care products more broadly, contain parabens. They are commonly used as a preservative, and also linked to hormone disruption.
I was shocked that the Aveeno Baby sunscreen was the worst rated of the bunch out of my box! Want to find the rating on your family’s favorite sunscreen? Look it up in EWG’s Skindeep Database.
Protect Your Family with Safer Sunscreen
So if all of those mainstream brands and high SPFs are bad, what should I be using? Beautycounter’s Protect All Over Sunscreen SPF 30. It uses zinc oxide as its active ingredient, and receives a 1 rating from EWG, placing it in their top tier of sunscreens rated for 2015. Their 2016 report will be released later this month.

Be a soda jerk for Halloween. In the 1950s, soda jerks worked in drugstores creating fabulous ice cream sodas and sundaes. They were called jerks because they jerked down the levers on the soda fountains to dispense the soda water. They wore rectangular white hats.
A soda jerk (or soda jerker) is a person—typically a youth—who operates the soda fountain in a drugstore, often for the purpose of preparing and serving soda drinks and ice cream sodas. This was made by putting flavored syrup into a specially designed tall glass and adding carbonated water.One or two scoops of ice cream, or occasionally malt powder, could be added.
Soda Jerk hat for all attendees Free T-Shirt for party honoree. SPECIAL EVENT/CATERED PARTY. $12.95 per person Choice of a hamburger /cheeseburger or hot dog, bag of chips and a soda Choices of any two scoop sundae or specialty drink (ice cream soda or float) Assorted candy goodie bag.

The men's costume also comes with a white shirt and long pants, as well as a red and white apron with a matching logo to go with the hat and shirt.
To understand this food service worker hat and it's shape, you need to be a bit of a time traveler. Shape, color palette, portion, and typography take inspiration from time periods decades apart from one another. This clearly is not an everyday soda jerk hat. The overall shape is proportionally close to the Norman Rockwell's McDonalds version.

BRITISH armed forces won’t be able to reclaim the Falkland Islands if they were seized by Argentina, a former head of the Army warned yesterday.
General Sir Mike Jackson said it would be “just about impossible” to win back key strategic positions now that the RAF no longer have jets capable of launching from aircraft carriers.
He said British defences on the Falklands have improved “by a factor of several tens” since the war that followed the 1982 invasion.
But he conceded losing the islands – which Argentina call the Malvinas – wasn’t out of the question.
He said: “The official answer will be that it would not be possible for the Argentinians to gain a foothold on the islands, in particular to take Mount Pleasant airfield, which is key to the British defence plan.
“We have a large international-sized airfield to allow for rapid reinforcement by air, should circumstances so require.
“But I suppose I have learned in life, never say never.
“What if an Argentinian force were able to secure the airfield? Then our ability to recover the islands now would be just about impossible.
“We are not in a position to take air power by sea since the demise of the Harriers.”
The planes were retired in 2010 as part of defence cuts.
Tension over the Falklands has been rising since the Argentinian government reacted angrily in 2010 when Britain allowed offshore drilling for oil in the islands’ waters.
More recently, they were unhappy when news broke of Prince William’s forthcoming RAF posting to the islands.
Meanwhile Prime Minister David Cameron accused Argentina of colonialism for continuing to claim sovereignty over the Falklands.

The condensed state
of matter the researchers worked on is somewhat similar to what's known as the Bose-Einstein condensate.
Hastings recognized that the solar surface was too hot to permit the existence of carbon in the condensed state
Their concern here is the theoretical and experimental verification of the statements concerning specific properties of oligomers as a condensed state
During that time, Edwin Hubble showed how the direct relation between a galaxy's distance and velocity implies that the universe started in a small, condensed state
Not everyone bought into this approach, and a compromise theory took hold: The steady state model said that the universe is expanding but also eternal.
Based on the high melting temperature (4) and significant anisotropic light scattering (5) of nascent UHPE, a model of fully extended-chain crystals has been proposed (6-8) for the macromolecular condensed state
of the nascent UHPE.
Still, he understood that continuous thermal emission was a property of the condensed state
As a result, once condensed metallic hydrogen has been produced in the solar interior, it is expected that it could retain its condensed state
under the lower pressures in the corona.
In contrast, this work now advances that chromospheric structures represent solar material in the condensed state
A material capable of producing the thermal spectrum of the Sun had to exist in the condensed state
at tremendous temperatures.
The physical evidence can be more simply reconciled with a solar body and a photosphere in the condensed state
Seismology is a science which can be applied exclusively to the condensed states

(Wien/et al., 17 June 2021) At the Research Data Rights Summit in January 2020, nine major networks of research-intensive universities, including Universitätsklinikum AKH Wien and MedUni Vienna, signed the "Sorbonne Declaration on Research Data Rights”. It strongly affirms the willingness of universities to share their data, while firmly calling on governments and funders to adopt a clear legal framework to regulate this sharing and provide the means to put it in place. The European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) has now endorsed the declaration, supporting the goal of making access to research data for transparency and reuse the norm in medical research.
The European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) has signed the “Sorbonne Declaration on Research Data Rights”. The alliance thus joins nine university networks, including the Association of American Universities, the League of European Research Universities, and the German U15, which overall include about 200 research-intensive universities world-wide. These organisations had signed the declaration at the Research Data Rights Summit on January 27th 2020.
The Sorbonne Declaration expresses the signatories’ recognition of the importance of making research data available, and their commitment to ensure this. Sharing of research data, grounded in structured management of these data, has high importance for transparency and trustworthiness, as well as tremendous value for reuse and knowledge generation. This is especially true in medical research, where many questions, e.g. on rare diseases and in personalized medicine, can only be addressed by pooling data between institutions, and where an ethical argument can be made for the wide reuse of clinical trial data. However, making the datasets underlying research publications widely available is so far uncommon in most fields of medical research. By joining the declaration, EUHA members commit to promoting and supporting data sharing e.g. on the levels of institutional policies, hiring and tenure decisions, infrastructures, and skills development.
Overall, EUHA members intend to implement measures to allow research data management and sharing to become a standard part of the research process. This will lead to more and, importantly, more reusable data being shared. This is in line with EUHA’s strategic goal of fostering responsible research and innovation, and will contribute to making EUHA institutions ready for an increasingly digital, cooperative, and transparent research environment, as exemplified by large projects like the European Open Science Cloud and by the European Commission’s support for Open Science overall. By committing to the declaration, EUHA also calls upon funders and legislators to provide the means and the frameworks, respectively, for data curation and data sharing. The ultimate goal is that by making data sharing in medical research the norm, the full potential of research data will be realized for generating new knowledge and thus patient benefit.
About the European University Hospital Alliance

The Perfect Keepsake
I have ordered two Dog Tags with keepsake impressions from Janessa. Each bears an impression of a tiny footprint to remember one of my stillborn sons. Designs by Janessa allowed me the freedom to customize a piece I now wear daily, paired with my previously designed dog tag. I have received numerous compliments, and it is definitely a conversation piece. I would gladly order again.
I've ordered 3 different pieces with my best friend's writing on the front and back- 2 dog tags and one pendant. She was killed last year and being able to see and hold her loving words on a piece of jewelry means the world to me, her parents and her fiance. Absolutely perfect pieces--they will be treasured forever.
from San Diego.
I purchased 2 double-sided dog tags for my sister and me. Each side has a hand written message from one of our grandmothers (we called them Nana). They are beautiful, precious, heartwarming and a lovely reminder that our Nanas are always with us. Thank you, Janessa!

Javelin Funds, known as a pioneer of Shariah compliant ETF investing, has launched its second fund, the JETS Contrarian Opportunities Index Fund (JCO). The new fund seeks to provide exposure to stocks that appear to be temporarily out of favor but have relatively strong fundamentals (also see Five ETF Ideas For Contrarian Investors).
JCO will seek to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Contrarian Opportunities Index, an equal weighted index consisting of 125 U.S. securities. Stocks are chosen semiannually from a broad market universe screened to identify securities ranked lowest by three-year trailing total return performance. From this pool of eligible securities, stocks are selected according to rankings by ten qualitative factors. “This fund advances the concept of index-based investing,” says Javelin president and founder Brint Frith. “Index funds often apply only quantitative criteria, such as market capitalization. The result can be a crudely-defined portfolio that makes no attempt at selectivity. We are impressed that Dow Jones has devised a benchmark that preserves the transparency and discipline of an index, but also encapsulates a well-researched investment strategy.”
The fund will charge an expense ratio of 0.58% and has a tilt towards mid-cap securities; its average component market cap is just $4.4 billion. JCO will initially be heavily focused on consumer services (30%) and health care (20.9%) while allocating minimal resources to telecommunications and basic materials which combine to make up less than 2.5% of the total assets.
Javelin’s only other ETF, the Dow Jones Islamic Market International Index Fund (JVS), tracks the Dow Jones Islamic Market International Titans 100 Index, which is maintained by Dow Jones and is based on a stringent and published methodology and consists solely of common stocks that meet Islamic principles. Due to this, the fund excludes companies that engage in any of the following; alcohol, conventional financial services (banking, insurance, etc.), casinos and gambling, pornography, tobacco manufacturers, pork related products, and weapons. JVS charges an expense ratio of 0.68% and it is up 2.7% this year and almost 22% over the past 52 weeks (see a review of faith-based ETFs here).

1. The Gun!
Duck hunters love to reiterate after a bad hunt, "Well you can't shoot ducks from the bed", none more is true except for "You can't shoot ducks without a shotgun". When I was gun shopping I talked to a number of gun nut buddies and quickly got narrowed down to the classic Remington 870 or Benelli Nova. As much as i'd love to be shooting a beautiful semi-auto, a pump was gonna be a better choice technically and financially.
2. The Bag
Every gun needs to be transported safely from the home to the field. If you are hunting anywhere near or over water , your gun bag needs to serve a few purposes. It needs to protect the firearm from damage and debris, make it easy to carry and keep it afloat in case of emergency. Being somewhat of a dry bag junkie, I fell in love with the LL Bean Waterproof Shotgun Case. It's perfect for me. The bag has a roll-top closure, a fully padded and waterproof lining and will fit a shotgun perfectly. I need no pockets or extras on my gun case. Just a handle and a shoulder strap. All other accessories will go into my blind bag.
3. Fowl Weather gear
Stop into any post hunt food joint and you will quickly realize that RealTree's Max-4 camo is king of the duck hunters attire. The first line of defense against the wind and weather is a pair of waders. My Frogg Togg Hellbenders were performing admirably but I knew I needed something tougher. Trudging through ice and swamp was going to be tough on a relatively lightweight pair of fishing waders. My research landed me upon a pair of Lacrosse Alpha Swampfox waders. The knees and butt are reinforced with Cordura fabric which is a big plus for me. Kneeling in the marsh or sitting on cypress knees is rough on anything but the toughest fabrics. I love these waders for a few reasons.
They are convertible! Early teal season will be hot and a full chest wader is not ideal. The suspenders are removable and the top folds down into pants. I had to take off about 10" of fabric on the belt and sew it back up to fit me. I really like the versatility of these waders. The drawtabs on the side will help cinch the pant legs down and control some bulkiness.
The boots are insulated with 600grams of Thinsulate. That's just warm enough. For an early season wader these will work perfectly. I tested these for two straight days of trudging through ice to get to the duck hole. A pair of super thick socks and some toe warmers will keep you warm enough in the freeze. Believe me.
Overall, the quality of these waders is top notch. Well thought out and versatile. It is impossible to make a pair of waders fit everyone that may want to slink into them. There are a few small tweaks I will be sewing onto these to fit my needs. I already have one rip in them so they are broken in. Another season of abuse will be the real test of these waders, but i'm happy with them as of now.
These are the bare essentials you need to start duck hunting besides a box of shells or two. Without these things you will not be invited on ANY duck hunt!! The next chapter will cover the rest of the necessary gear to be a self sufficient hunter. From decoys to calls and bags. Now catch those end of season sales and wait patiently for teal season. Eight months and counting...

How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Successby Julie Lythcott-Haims
How to Raise an Adult is a book for any parent who wants to raise a self-sufficient, independent, and responsible child. Here, author Julie Lythcott-Haims doesn’t just give you a series of parenting advice; she backs each piece of advice up with evidence from child psychologists, case studies, and research papers.
We’ve compiled a list of actions you can try out with your children, starting today, to ensure their success as future adults. So, pick one and try it out!
What We’re Doing Now
“Without experiencing the rougher spots of life, our kids become exquisite, like orchids, yet are incapable, sometimes terribly incapable, of thriving in the real world on their own.”
Many parents tend to over-involve themselves in their kids’ lives. This kind of behavior usually stems from their fears, such as the fear that their child won’t succeed or that they won't be safe without their presence. They think parents know what’s best for their children, so they’re eager to protect and direct them as much as possible.
While parents' intentions are good, overparenting may cause more harm than good to their children: It prevents them from learning the skills needed to survive in the adult world when their parents are not there to watch over them.
To prepare your child for adulthood, you must give them the freedom they need to figure things out on their own. Let them explore the outside world and learn from it.
If you’re worried about your child’s safety, however, the best step you could take is to teach them street smarts. For example, teaching them how to differentiate strangers who wish to harm them from those who want to help them.
Teaching your children how to navigate the world beyond their front yard will help them become resourceful, independent adults. It will keep them from being frightened, bewildered, and confused when they are eventually forced to be on their own in the streets.
When your child is outside, you may also worry about the “bullies” they may encounter. However, what we perceive as “bullying” nowadays is just how children learn social skills. Of course, there are real bullies out there who hurt and disempower their victims, and these bullies should not be ignored. However, most children are not real “bullies.”
When we label children as bullies, especially young children, we impose labels on them that they are not developmentally capable of. Instead, we should stand back and watch our kids interact with others from a distance and allow them to explore the boundaries of social interaction themselves.
Aside from protecting children from the dangers outside, parents also tend to overprotect their children’s feelings by praising them constantly. This may lead to them developing a distorted view of what it takes to excel and believing they are entitled to praise and recognition. This type of thinking will negatively impact their work performance as adults—after all, no one praises adults for every little thing! So instead of always praising them, parents must only learn to praise and reward their children for their outstanding achievements.
Finally, as your children grow up, you may develop your own set of expectations and visions of how they “should” become or what path they “should” pursue. While there is nothing wrong with having dreams for your children, creating a path that isn't about them may make them unhappy later in life.
If you want the best for your children, you must not shape the way they dream. Instead, let them decide which university they want to attend or what they want to major in, so they would soon feel excited about their field of work. After all, seeing your children happy and fulfilled is the ultimate goal.
Actions to take
The New Way of Parenting
“Parental love is piercing, fierce and beautiful. It is hard to comprehend that we’ll be able to cope with our kids leaving home, let alone that, at times, we won’t even know where they are. Yet we gave them life. And life is to be lived.”
As parents, we want our children to grow up loving and wanting to see us while also being capable of navigating life independently. We want them to be self-sufficient, able to complete a task, achieve a goal, and deal with various situations in life. To achieve this, we need to incorporate authoritative parenting—a new healthier way of parenting that balances warmth with strictness and direction with freedom.
Authoritative parenting is a style in which parents are both demanding and responsive. Here, parents treat their children as independent rational beings capable of exploring things on their own, failing and making decisions, and learning from them. They’re also emotionally warm and strict. They set high standards, expectations, and rules for their children, but they make sure to explain the reason behind these rules.
While authoritative parents involve themselves in their children’s lives and are responsive to their emotional needs, they don’t let their children get away with things. This balance makes this parenting style the best among others.
In fact, research shows that children raised by this parenting style have greater academic achievements, suffer from fewer symptoms of depression, and exhibit fewer signs of aggression, disobedience, and other such antisocial behaviors. Being an authoritative parent will help your child commit to and fulfill adult social roles. These adult social roles are the foundation of a healthy life.
Actions to take
Give Them Unstructured Time to Play Freely
“Play is the first real developmental “work” children are supposed to do.”
Free play is essential to a child’s mental health. When children are involved in activities that are freely chosen and directed by them, they undergo healthy psychological development.
In fact, research shows that free play helps children learn, develop, and perfect new skills that build competence, master anxiety (i.e., help them build the capacity to cope with their environment), strengthen their ego, and fuel their investment in life.
When letting your child play, however, certain limitations must be considered. This includes the location and time when they’ll play, their age, capabilities, and special needs, your home and neighborhood environment, and the available time for their play. The good news is that there are ways to enhance the degree of free play, considering these limitations. Following these ways can lead to improved psychological health and personal development and can better prepare them for adulthood.
Actions to take
Teach Life Skills
“Being able to do so much for our kids is very much a function of extra money and leisure time.”
Most middle- and upper-class children grow up with their parents or other adults in their lives completing tasks for them. This does not allow them to develop life skills—after all, they’ve always had someone else do everything for them! Children who grow up like this cannot adjust well to adulthood, where they are solely responsible for completing several tasks they have no prior experience handling.
So, instead of doing everything for them, learn to set rules and expectations. This means having a list of the basic life skills your kid must acquire based on age. Here’s a simple guide to doing it:
- Children aged 2-3 should be able to perform basic life skills such as small chores and basic grooming. This includes putting their toys away, dressing and putting their clothes in the hamper when they undress, cleaning their plates after meals, assisting in setting the table, brushing their teeth, and washing their face with assistance.
- Children aged 4-5 should learn safety skills, such as remembering important names and numbers. This includes knowing their full name, address, and phone number and how to make an emergency call. They should also be able to perform simple chores without much assistance.
- Children aged 6-7 should be able to perform basic cooking techniques and do unsupervised chores. These chores include mixing, stirring, and cutting with a dull knife, helping the groceries put away, straightening up the bathroom after using it, making their bed without assistance, and taking a bath unsupervised.
- Children aged 8-9 should be able to take pride in their personal belongings. This includes being able to fold their clothes, learn simple sewing, and care for outdoor toys. They should also be able to use a broom and dustpan, help create a grocery list, take out the trash, and take care of personal hygiene without being told to do so.
- Children aged 10-13 should be able to perform many skills independently. They should be able to stay home, make purchases, do laundry and change their bed sheets alone. They should also be able to look after their siblings, use basic tools, read labels, etc.
- Children aged 14-18 should be able to learn more advanced skills.
This includes performing more complicated cleaning and maintenance chores, filling a car with gas, adding air to and changing a tire, reading and understanding medicine labels and dosages, interviewing for and getting a job, preparing and cooking meals, and so on.
All the above tasks are extremely important for your child to know—without them, they will be lost in the adult world. By following the list above, you’re ensuring that your child learns age-appropriate skills necessary for leading competent adult lives.
Actions to take
Teach Them How to Think
“We don’t want our kids to be robots—mechanistically giving answers or going through motions dictated by someone else. We want them to be thinkers.”
Helping our kids develop critical thinking skills is essential for their success and survival, especially when they reach adulthood. When children can think for themselves, they are more likely to succeed in college, work, and many other areas of their lives.
To train your child to think for themselves, you must first refrain from handholding, overprotecting, and overdirecting what they must do all the time. Instead, give them the freedom to complete tasks on their own, decide for themselves, take risks, make mistakes, fail and learn from them. Moreover, you should also help your children better understand the situations they encounter. All of these skills will be instrumental in helping them lead a functioning, healthy adult life in the future.
Once the children have mastered the skills required to think for themselves, the next step is to teach them how to think about more than themselves and to speak for themselves. Allow your child to form opinions on various world events and respond to conversations with others. Remember that childhood is meant to prepare children for adulthood, so encourage them to speak up. After all, as adults, you won't be there to hold their hands through everything!
Actions to take
Prepare Them For Hard Work
Chores in childhood have been proven to be an essential contributor to a life’s success. When you give your children chores to do, you teach them about responsibility, autonomy, accountability, determination, and perseverance. They will carry these qualities with them throughout their life, and most importantly, they will apply them to their work life in the future.
Actions to take
Let Them Chart Their Own Path
“What you’re going to be and do in the world is up to you. Look to yourself for clues about what really matters to you. Give yourself permission to be and do those things.”
Many young people today feel so pressured to pursue a path chosen by their parents, even if it’s not aligned with their true interests and purpose. This may result in resentment, confusion, and unhappiness. To avoid this, you need to let your child forge their own path in life.
If you choose a career and future for your child, you run the risk of them becoming depressed and disinterested in their life. Therefore, you should help guide them toward a future, but remember that your child gets to decide what that future is.
Helping your child find their own path begins with accepting who they are. Focus on your child's strengths, talents, and passions and use them as "clues" to help them find the path they want for themselves. Once they find it, accept that the future is theirs and commit to supporting them. Remember that as a parent, you must strike a balance between telling your child what to do and letting them run wild.
Throughout your child’s journey, you may find them experiencing falls and failures. While it's tough to see them struggling, protecting your children from falls and failures will hurt them in the long run. The best you can do instead is to support them through the hard times and teach them to gain resilience when things don’t go their way. This way, they will grow into stronger and well-adjusted adults ready to face whatever life throws at them.
Actions to take
Have a Wider Mindset About Colleges
Most parents want their children to go to prestigious universities without considering whether or not they want it in the first place. This prevents their children from feeling fulfilled and satisfied throughout their college journey.
Your children will only be able to reap the benefits of college if they are in a place that is truly right for them. Therefore, you need to focus less on getting your children accepted into top schools and more on finding an environment that will allow them to thrive.
Actions to take
Listen to Them
If you want to have a healthy relationship with your child, you need to have open ears and be willing to listen to them no matter what. When you listen to your child, you become their confidante, and no matter how old they are, they will always come to you for life advice and emotional support.
Actions to take
“Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent.” - Carl Jung
Taking care of yourself before anything else as a parent isn’t selfish. It is, in fact, the first and most crucial step in parenting. If you aren’t hale and healthy, you won’t have the energy or the means to take care of your child. Learning how to care for and reclaim yourself, on the other hand, will make you a better parent capable of raising a healthier and happier child.

Why was Jose de Escandon important?
Spanish military leader, colonizer, and colonial administrator José de Escandón was the first governor of Nuevo Santander, a Spanish province in what is now northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. He founded many towns and missions in the Spanish colony, primarily along the Rio Grande.
What is Jose de Escandon most often referred to as?
For his colonization efforts Escandón is sometimes called the “father” of the lower Rio Grande valley. Escandón received his early education in his native town. At the age of fifteen he arrived at Mérida, Yucatán, where he served as a cadet in the Mounted Encomenderos Company.
Why is José de escandón known as the father of the Lower Rio Grande Valley?
Jose de Escandon. From 1748 to 1755, the Spanish expedition leader settled more than 20 towns and villages along the Rio Grande and other areas of New Spain, including the colony of Santander. For his efforts, he has been called the “father of the lower Rio Grande Valley.
What did Jose de Escandon do for the cattle industry?
To pacify rebellious tribes in the area, he granted land and agricultural supplies to them and assigned Tlaxcalan instructors to their communities. The new region, Nuevo Santander, became one of the most successful colonies on New Spain’s northern frontier and the birthplace of the Texas cattle industry.
Why did Jose de Escandon make settlements along the Rio Grande River?
For more than 25 years, Jose de Escandon had worked with Spanish settlers in Mexico. Now, Escandon asked successful farmers and ranchers in northern Mexico to move to land along the Rio Grande. He promised them free land and reduced taxes if they agreed to settle the new frontier.
When the settlement at San Antonio was built in 1718 what was the significance of its location?
When the settlement at San Antonio was built in 1718, what was the significance of its location? Its midway location between the Rio Grande and East Texas made supplying the missions easier.
Why was there a conflict between Spain and France over Texas?
Fierce rivals, Spain and France both wanted to claim Texas. Spain controlled the lands to the west. France controlled the lands to the east. Each country would have to establish permanent settlements in Texas to keep its rival out.
When and where was Jose de Escandon born?
May 19, 1700, Santa Cruz de Bezana, Spain
José de Escandón, 1st Count of Sierra Gorda/Born
Why was ranching important to Texas?
After the Civil War, the economies of the former Confederate states were destroyed. The Spanish cattle were the natural resource that helped the Texas economy recover faster than the rest of the South, ushering in the Texas cattle drive era.
Why did the Spanish settled in Texas?
The Spanish Colonial era in Texas began with a system of missions and presidios, designed to spread Christianity and to establish control over the region. The missionaries hoped to spread Christianity and the Spanish culture to native groups. Presidios were the missions’ secular counterpart.
What is the significance of 1718?
In this year, two settlements were founded that would later become important U.S. cities. The year also saw the death of Blackbeard, a notorious pirate who had terrorized ships off the Atlantic Coast and the Caribbean. In the early 1700s, England, France, and Spain competed for control of North American.
What is the significance of the San Antonio settlements?
The arrival of the first railroad in 1877 brought migrants from the American South, and Mexican immigrants settled there after the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910. San Antonio was a major military centre during World Wars I and II, a factor that continued to dominate its economy in subsequent decades.
Who was Jose de Escandón?
José de Escandón, South Texas colonizer, was born in Soto la Marina, Santander, Spain, on May 19, 1700, one of three sons of Juan de Escandón and Francisca de la Helguera. He is known as the colonizer and first governor of the colony of Nuevo Santander, which extended from the Pánuco River in Mexico to the Guadalupe River in Texas.
What did Escandon do in the New World?
Escandon was known as the colonizer and first governor of the colony of Nuevo Santander. he founded over twenty towns or villas and a number of missions in the colony, including Camargo, Reynosa, Mier, and Revilla.
What did Hernando Escandón do in Texas?
Under Escandón’s authority, several settlements were also established in what is now Texas, including Dolores and Laredo, which was founded by Tomás Sánchez. In 1749 Escandón had a mission and fort moved from the Guadalupe River to a new site, founding what is now Goliad, Texas.
What did Francisco Escandon do in Nuevo Santander?
Escandon was known as the colonizer and first governor of the colony of Nuevo Santander. he founded over twenty towns or villas and a number of missions in the colony, including Camargo, Reynosa, Mier, and Revilla. For his colonization efforts Escandon is sometimes called the father of the lower Rio Grande valley.

The United States are all about freedom, and one of the ways that principle is expressed is through democratic governance. People vote on representatives, hopefully ensuring that leaders govern in accordance with the wishes of the populace. In this clip from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the guys of the gang decide to approach the management of their pub in a more democratic fashion. Given that they’re not exactly statesmen, things don’t go so well.
First off, while Mac and Charlie are firmly committed to calm and rational discussion, they’re used to expressing themselves via intense anger and personal threats, which aren’t exactly norms of debate. Fortunately, the always calm (disconcertingly so) Dennis is around to corral his two friends as they make their arguments to Frank, who currently runs the bar.
Unfortunately, all of the guys seem to have forgotten that there are four of them in the discussion, and they have no plans on how to address a tied vote. We’re sure they’ll resolve the matter in a calm and reasonable fashion.

New York, Jan. 12, 2012—Picture this: After attending an oral argument at the U.S. Supreme Court, you go behind closed doors for personal visits with Associate Justice Elena Kagan and Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr. ’83. It sounds like a fantasy, but that’s how 19 Columbia Law School students spent their day on Nov. 7.
Professor Sarah Cleveland (far left, middle row) and students at the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 7.
“For any aspiring litigator to have the opportunity to attend a Supreme Court argument and then meet with one of the justices and the solicitor general—it was an amazing and memorable part of my legal education,” said Jeff Izant ’13.
The Court visit was one of the benefits to Columbia Law School students of Cleveland’s recent government service.
Case posed a separation of powers question
The case before the Court on the day the students visited was Zivotofsky v. Clinton
, a presidential powers dispute dealing with whether the executive branch has the exclusive constitutional authority to recognize foreign sovereigns, as well as the question of whether the Court has the power to rule on such a question.
Solicitor General Verrilli represented the government’s position, which is that the executive branch has the exclusive power to recognize the sovereignty of a state. After many years as one of the nation’s top trial attorneys, who received national honors for his public service, Verrilli served in the Obama administration’s Justice Department as an associate U.S. deputy attorney general and then as deputy counsel to the president in the White House, before being named solicitor general. While a student at Columbia Law School, Verrilli was a James Kent Scholar and served as editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review.
The plaintiff’s lawyer, Nathan Lewin
, teaches courses on religion and the Supreme Court at Columbia Law School and is a veteran appellate litigator.
The class left the argument with the general sense that the Court was unlikely to hold that the case presented a nonjusticiable political question. The Court, Cleveland said, seemed inclined to rule that it is unconstitutional for Congress to infringe on the president’s power to recognize sovereignty.
Rare informal, educational meetings with Kagan and Verrilli
After seeing the Supreme Court in action, the students received a rare introduction to Associate Justice Kagan, with whom Cleveland had worked on litigation issues when Kagan was solicitor general. According to students, the justice explained some of the inner workings of the Court, such as the law clerks’ contribution, how the justices communicate, and the good relations among the justices.
The group next visited the Department of Justice, where they met with both Solicitor General Verrilli and Ginger Anders ’02, an assistant in Verrilli’s office. Anders explained the operation of the solicitor general’s office and how the office works with the various executive agencies.
The solicitor general “was extremely open and forthcoming in terms of explaining how he approached the preparation of the brief, and his thoughts on having to rebut the plaintiff’s arguments,” recalled Alasdair Shaw ’12, a native of Scotland who is pursuing an LL.M. at the Law School while enrolled in a master’s program at the University of Amsterdam.
The take-home point for many students was Verrilli’s consciousness that he performs a dual role—serving the best interests of his client, the U.S. government, as well as the best interests of the Court.
Looking back on the international lawyering seminar as a whole, students gave the course high marks, noting that Cleveland brought in a series of high-profile speakers and shared fresh insights as she analyzed her recent stint in government.
One of the distinguished classroom visitors, State Department Legal Adviser Harold Koh
, spoke about what it was like to have the U.S. government as a client—a domestic client within the international realm—and left the students thinking about the importance of finding solutions to problems, not just carrying on the status quo.
“Understanding the tasks you have to overcome in that kind of job has given me the inspiration to do governmental work back in the U.K.,” said Shaw.
More than one student who took the seminar noted the impact of the professor’s experience and reputation.
“Professor Cleveland is part of why I came to Columbia,” said Kristin Olson ’12. “It has truly been a privilege to study with her.”

The Artisan Teacher is our core program for teachers and teacher developers. It is an ongoing study of the most recurring pedagogical approaches of particularly successful teachers. Based on more than 40,000 classroom observations, the 23 Artisan Themes represent a comprehensive lexicon of terms that describe the core skills of excellent instruction. The Artisan Teacher is designed to develop the craft of teaching by enabling teachers to identify and hone their most productive skills—and, to add new, complementary, skills to their repertoire. The Artisan Teacher is also designed to be an aid to administrators, instructional coaches, college professors, and anyone who is engaged in the learning and development of teachers and teaching.

More on The Artisan Teacher… below is the Introduction from The Artisan Teacher: A Field Guide to Skillful Teaching.
I have an incurable curiosity for teaching. For over three decades, I’ve been teaching, observing teachers, and studying teaching. In that time, I’ve personally observed at least ten thousand episodes of classroom instruction and have spoken with colleagues about thousands more. Since it is generally fulfilling to satisfy one’s curiosities, it has been a labor of love and not a bit of drudgery. Contrary to what one might imagine, these thousands of observations have never seemed repetitive or redundant. There is always something new to see, and, the more I look, the more I’m convinced that there are hundreds of ways to be excellent as a teacher.
Early on, I was expecting to be able to quickly spot some consistent actions that would support a template for describing successful teaching. I wished to say that all successful teachers do the same few things. Then I could logically tell other teachers, “Do these few things and you’ll be successful too.” As it turns out, successful teachers are successful in many ways. Some are well organized, but others, equally successful, are more spontaneous. Many effective teachers are energetic and enthusiastic, yet some excellent performers are quite low key. Some teachers are straight forward and businesslike and produce good results. Still others produce good results through a friendly, relaxed classroom climate. This is not to say that there are not observable, recurring patterns of instruction that especially successful teachers employ. There certainly are, and the remaining pages of this field guide are devoted to describing them. But there are many of them, and teachers employ them in many combinations and in many degrees. Successful teaching is a complex act.
A consistent, recurring pattern has emerged through all these observations. The most successful teachers are skillful. They do things. They make moves. They teach with an attention to detail and a level of execution that produces extra success for learners. They see teaching as a set of skills, some natural and some learned, that combine to produce optimal learning for students. As I have thought about this skillful approach and how it might be best described, I am reminded of an old term that has recently enjoyed a renaissance. The term is Artisan. The teachers who best exemplify this skillful approach to instruction are Artisan Teachers; skilled in the craft of teaching.
The word artisan, when used as an adjective, connotes a high quality, hand-made, unique nature. An artisan “this or that” implies that a craftsperson created a product in small batches, applying specialized knowledge and skill, with a measure of artistic creativity. We often hear of artisan bread, artisan cheese, or artisan jewelry. Historically, the word artisan is a noun. An artisan is a craftsperson. An artisan makes things. Stonemasons, coppersmiths, bakers, tanners, playwrights, songwriters, and tailors are artisans. The fruits of their labor have utility. They create items of value. The item’s value is not entirely based on utility, however. It is also based on beauty, design, and delight. An artisan creates an item that is not only sturdy and functional, but beautiful and delightful to use.
Artisans are not purely artists, though artistic expression is found in their work.
Artisans are not purely scientists, though scientific knowledge is essential to their work. Artisans are not merely technicians, though skilled labor is the core expression of their work. An artisan is one skilled in the applied arts, a craftsperson… a unique combination of artist, scientist, and skilled laborer. Excellent teachers are just like this. They are Artisans-artful, knowledgeable, skilled, masters of their craft (Rutherford, 2009a, p. 1).
The Artisan Teacher: A Field Guide to Skillful Teaching is an attempt to identify and organize the patterns of skillful instruction that have emerged from these thousands of observations. I should clarify here, that the field guide is a construction of my own mind. The twenty-three themes represent my best attempt at a cogent and comprehensive treatment of the patterns of successful teaching observed by me, in my career as a teacher and a developer of teachers. It is subject to the biases and misunderstandings that any one observer, however diligent, most probably commits. This work is not a peer-reviewed lexicon of instructional techniques that represents a consensus of the finest minds that ever observed a classroom. It is, rather, more like a field guide that catalogs beautiful birds, written by a single bird lover, an enthusiast, who has spent many hours in the forest looking for and at birds. One might also, keeping with the bird analogy, ask “by whose definition of beauty are these birds deemed the twenty-three most beautiful?” The answer is honest and straightforward, if not statistically comforting. It is by my own definition.
The themes are derived from thousands of classroom observations. Many, even most, of the teachers who were observed were chosen based on a recommendation from their principal. I asked principals to steer me toward three or four of their most successful teachers; teachers who excelled in creativity, innovation, classroom technique, classroom climate, test scores, and parent/student satisfaction. Not every principal knows who their most successful teachers are and some get it very wrong, in my opinion. But, mostly, they get it right. And, over the years they have provided me with a buffet of great teaching to observe and study. Inside the classroom I looked for instances of instruction that resulted in unusually high levels of student engagement, success, effort, clarity, thinking, and performance. I watched for instructional approaches that increased students’ speed of learning, recall of content, and transfer of knowledge and skills to new settings. When I saw these things happening, I took close and copious notes on the details of how it was happening. If I saw similar instructional results again and again, I began to craft a description of the instructional approach that most dependably delivered the positive learning results. These descriptions began to sort together as themes and the ones that recurred most often and most dependably became the twenty-three themes contained in this field guide.
Why twenty-three? I honestly wish it had worked out to a more compelling number. Ten would have been nice, or twelve. I’ve always liked the number eight because it has an elegant symmetry to it, I think. Twenty-one has a nice ring to it. There are twenty-three themes because that is the number of different patterns that had, in my way of thinking, substantially recurring evidence. There are twenty-three themes in the field guide because that number seemed to me, and me alone, to be the number that best described the patterns of successful teaching that I was repeatedly seeing.
The field guide is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all the ways teachers are excellent, but rather a useful way of looking at some of the themes that are most common and have the broadest utility. I have also noticed that successful teachers often have idiosyncratic skills; skills that are theirs alone and are not widely seen in other classrooms. It is intriguing to watch teachers use their “signature moves” at key moments of a lesson. This field guide does not attempt to describe these personal techniques since they are, by definition, not widespread. So, to be included on the list, a theme had to qualify in these four ways:
- The theme must have utility in all content areas.
- The theme must have utility for all ages and grade levels.
- The theme must have a body of research and literature to support it.
- The theme has to be observed repeatedly in the classrooms of successful teachers.
It is important to note that, in my observations of successful teachers, no one attempts to employ all twenty-three themes on a regular basis and certainly not in a single lesson. To do so would be counterproductive. Instead, Artisan Teachers tend to identify the themes in which they are already skilled and employ those skills first and most often, to the great benefit of their students.
Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton, in their excellent book Now Discover Your Strengths, describe how peak performers in every field approach their craft… “they capitalize on their strengths and manage around their weaknesses.” (Buckingham & Clifton, 2001, p. 27). I see artisan teachers taking a similar approach. Instead of obsessing on areas where they are less effective, they identify their key skills, both innate and learned, and lean more heavily on those. They don’t ignore their weaknesses, but rather, seek to manage them. The Artisan Teacher: A Field Guide to Skillful Teaching is designed to support and enhance this process. Each of the twenty-three themes is presented in an easy to access format that will enable teachers to quickly recognize the themes in their own teaching, determine key skills and strengths, and enhance their practice. Administrators and others with a role in the development of teachers can use the field guide as a resource to support growth-evoking feedback and coaching.
I’d like to gratefully acknowledge the thousands of teachers, who in the midst of a thousand busy days, welcomed me and our observation teams into their classrooms and provided both the inspiration and the evidence for the twenty-three artisan themes. You have been and will continue to be the object of my incurable fascination with excellent teaching.

There's just something about the taste and smell of coconut that transports you to an exotic place, even if it is only momentarily.
For that split second you can almost feel the sun beating down on your skin, the waves lapping at your feet, the sand slipping through your toes, spirits lifted.
That's just one of the perks that comes from dipping your spoon into a jar of coconut butter and savouring the taste sensation.
But longtime local and part-time yoga instructor Rya Letham also found that coconut butter satisfied her after-dinner sweet cravings and was a digestive aid.
The problem was that it was difficult to find in the stores.
So, she decided to make her own — to spread on toast, put in smoothies or, her preferred choice, just straight off the spoon.
"My favourite way is just straight out of the jar," said Letham from her home in Pemberton where her business, Living Light Coconut Tree, began just five short months ago.
In that whirlwind time, she has gone from the dream to the reality of seeing her jars on grocery shelves.
It all began in January.
Once she decided to open the business, a friend suggested the online funding platform, www.indiegogo.com.
Letham's goal was to raise $3,200, enough money to buy a high quality food processor/blender and pay for the first lab test on a jar of the flavour 'Original Abundance,' that would allow her to sell the product in grocery stores. She raised more than $4,100.
"It's like starting your business on a foundation of success and celebration," she said, of the daily affirmation of someone else believing in her concept with a little seed funding.
And so it began.
But starting a business from scratch, as Letham quickly learned, wasn't just about getting into the kitchen and making batches of coconut butter. There was a website to design, which she did herself, with a little help from friends.
There was a logo to dream up and labels to create, business cards to make up. She hired a friend to design the logo and did the rest herself.
There was packaging to research to ensure that it was biodegradable and environmentally friendly where possible.
And the organic ingredients had to be ethically sourced. Letham contacted her coconut distributor and learned that her organic coconuts come from Sri Lanka and she learned some basic information about the farm that they come from.
"It's all about conscious co-creation," she said.
And then she had to get her product to market — beNatural in Pemberton, Olives Community Market, Organic Leigh's Farm Market in Whistler and on her website www.livinglightcoconuttree.ca.
The first jars were sold in March. Letham is already expanding out of her home kitchen to a commercial kitchen once a week to meet the demand she hopes to see at the local farmer's markets this summer.

“This House believes that African States should extend dual citizenship to members of the African Diaspora including the right to vote and contest public office, regardless of the ability to satisfactorily trace their roots.”
After a heated intellectual display of ideas, Elisha Owusu Akyaw from University of Ghana and Macharia Njuguna from Strathmore University, Kenya together successfully opposed the motion above at the Grand Finale of the prestigious Accra Open Debate Championship at the Accra City Hall on 24th August, 2021.
The 7th Accra Open Championship was sponsored by the National Youth Authority of Ghana and attracted debaters and adjudicators from across 15 universities in West, East and Southern Africa. The 5-day event begun on 20th August and ended with a spectacular finals in the heart of Accra on 24th August, 2021. Jacob Garshong and Addo-Obeng Opoku-Agyeman from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology also emerged winners of the Novice category whilst Jahmai Aikings of University of Cape Coast took home the Best Public Speaker award. Erasmus Segbefia from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology and Ishmael Abakah from Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development also won Best Speaker (Main) and Best Speaker (Novice) respectively.
The annual Accra Open Debate Championship in its 7th edition continued to highlight the core values of pan-Africanism and maintain its essence as the foremost platform for intellectual contests among young people in Africa.

As her styles have endured, so the career of Coco Chanel has become a catwalk where writers and film-makers galore can strut their stuff.
Given the extent of the myths (some spawned by the imperious dressmaker), it takes a sharp eye and clear head to tell her tall, true story straight.
Picardie not only recounts the life with firmness and finesse – from forsaken childhood through the liaison with playboy "Boy" Capel through the world-conquering frocks and scents, and fierce controversies over wartime collaboration.
Her book is designed and illustrated with the sort of pleasing yet unobtrusive excellence that would have delighted its subject. For any fashionista bookshelf, this counts as the must-have equivalent of the Little Black Dress.Reuse content

|Early morning in the Olympic Park|
In the morning we all went for a swim in the London Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park, which opened to the public earlier this month. It is one of my favourite buildings from the Olympics, and looks much better now than it did then, because the wings of extra seating have been removed. It is beautiful inside and out, and I filled my camera with photos. Cam shrieked when I asked him to take some photos of Graham and me, and we had a little smooch for the camera.
The children bought me presents (Cam this book, and Olivia a scarf with flamingos on it, inspired by my abiding love of all things flamingo) and made me cards, and Graham bought me daffodils and croissants. I didn't have to lift a finger all day
In the evening Graham and I popped down to the local pub to listen to some live music and enjoy a pint of beer.
What more could anyone need? Perfect.

Card & board Games
123 card games free for kids | free online card board games
Top 5 Boring “Classic” Board and Card Games
Board and card games are a great way for friends to come together and compete in a variety of fun ways. At least, theoretically. Unfortunately, several of the best-selling packages fail to engage players. Don’t believe me? Let’s check out five surprisingly boring classic board games!
1. Candy Land
This game. This game right here. Can it even be called a game? Can I call a piece of lint food because you can technically eat it? Candy Land has players try to reach the end of the board first. There’s just one teensy little problem:
You have no impact on this game
Candy Land’s outcome is literally decided before the game begins. You draw a card and advance to where it tells you. Whoever’s cards happen to take them to the end first will win. Heck, Chutes and Ladders has no strategy, but at least there the outcome is uncertain at first because you, to an extent, impact the spins.
Candy Land doesn’t even let you semi-control the movement with die or a spinner. It’s not really a game so much as a flashy piece of cardboard designed to catch the eyes of kids attracted to the bright colors. Mercifully, the “game” doesn’t last as long as War or Monopoly, but at least they pretend to have strategy.
In short, Princess Lolly can go jump off a bridge for all we care.
That’s right, the best-selling board game of all time is undoubtedly one of the least interesting. Players compete to earn the most money by buying locations and collecting taxes from opponents who land on their property. Same issues as before:
Way, way too long
Handling money further slackens the game
When the box says it’s 8+, it must be referring to the number of years necessary to finish it. There is no strategy here. To win, buy every property you land on and hope you collect them faster than your rivals. Once all lands are bought, play becomes an immensely uninteresting lumber towards victory for the player with the most purchases.
While almost everyone has played this game, very few ever finish because it’s obvious who will win hours before it happens; why extend the drab experience longer than necessary?
Themed versions of Monopoly thankfully add other elements to mix up the gameplay (Pokemon Monopoly is surprisingly fun), but the base edition fails on all counts.
You know, war is probably named after the effect it has on nations who play it.
Players grab a normal card deck, randomly deal half to each player, then each reveals the top card of their deck. The higher value wins, and that player receives both cards. This process repeats until one player wins the entire deck. A tie results in both players setting a card facedown, then revealing the next top card; whoever wins gets all six cards. Here are the issues:
Again, totally luck-based
Lacks any theme
Games drag on far too long
If players want a luck-based game, they might as well flip a coin for fun. War is a slow crawl towards defeat where the player who was dealt more higher values in the deck (either Aces or Jokers) wins 99% of the time.
The only way to defeat someone with a higher value is to tie, hope they put their highest value card as their facedown, then win the next revealed clash. That’s just not gonna happen much, and even when it does, it’s still entirely luck based. Taking a player’s entire deck will almost certainly require hours; most people give up to go perform more interesting activities, like watching paint dry.
While it’s cool that you can play War with a normal deck of cards, making a boring game cheap doesn’t vanquish its stale experience.
4. Chutes and Ladders
The most famous version of “Snakes and Ladders”, Chutes tasks players with reaching the end of the board first. You’ll move by either spinning a spinner or rolling a die, then moving that value forward. Land on a chute and you plummet further down the board; a ladder lets you advance towards your goal. Here are the problems:
First player gets an advantage
Choking Hazard is the most interesting part of the game
Because there are no elements other than moving, which is completely dependent on luck, you never make any choices. You just hope your rolls/spins treat you well, and then brag about how awesome you are when you win, or how stupid the game is when you lose. Yea, that’s right Kyle, you deserve that chute you ungrateful screwup.
Admittedly, Chutes introduces a morality theme where children who are selfish must descend chutes while kind children are rewarded and advance up ladders. While that’s a good lesson for kids, it can’t save the game from intense monotony.
This game may not be board, but you’ll be. Yahtzee has participants (more like victims) roll dice to obtain higher scores than other players. The game utilizes point systems similar to poker, with bonuses like “three of a kind” or a “straight”. Here are the issues:
More complex than most
Lacks any interesting theme
Just play Poker, it’s basically the same thing
Okay, I understand just about every board and card game involves some degree of luck, but there’s just not enough strategy here to be engaging. The only choices you make are which die to reroll. Play Poker instead, it’s the same game but shorter.
Even worse, for such a simple, luck-dependent premise (score the most points), the game is surprisingly complex in terms of points. Just check out how long the wikihow article on Yathzee is.
Finally, the base version of the game contains no theme, making it lack any sort of aesthetic value. From theme to gameplay, Yahtzee is mundane.

“Christos Anestopoulos treats his guitar as a wide canvas with no limits in the traditional sense, he isn’t afraid to experiment and quantify lightness in his heavy musical thoughts that bring a harmony to the ears of others.“ #giveitaspin
“Christos Anestopoulos – “Friselland”
-For a completely different kind of chill, this track uses acoustics to conjure similar feelings of light. At times having shades of Americana and other times reflecting the old world, it’s a relaxing musical style. Close your eyes and imagine a different time.“#eartothegroundmusic

These 10 stories arguably made some of the biggest waves in Forest Park over the last 12 months, and all of them will continue to have an impact into 2007 and beyond. What we find particularly noteworthy is the mix of issues these stories represent. Our own Ed Hall tried to change the world on national television while Sgt. Dan Harder fought for his job in the basement of village hall. A nearly century-old school celebrated the opening of its doors amid financial hardship and residents are buoyed by the prospect of saving another community landmark through redevelopment.
We encourage readers of the Forest Park Review to ponder the events of the last year and give us your thoughts on the most significant events of 2006. In the meantime, enjoy ours.
Downtown parking proposal draws fire; council delays vote under pressure
With an engineering report citing a need for an additional 158 parking spaces along Madison Street, village officials presented a plan in November to acquire six residential properties to expand existing surface lots. Handfuls of residents spoke out against the proposal, while pro-business camps voiced their support.
A final determination on the plan to create roughly 50 more parking spaces has not been made.
Proponents of the plan pointed to years of complaints from residents, village officials, store owners and shoppers as further proof that more parking is needed. Many of the plan’s critics also acknowledged in their statements to the council that additional parking is necessary.
However, village commissioners were blasted for considering the use of eminent domain laws for a plan that would mitigate only one-third of the assessed need.
Still a winner; local contestant finishes second on ‘American Inventor’
Ed Hall had the support of an entire community behind him during his bid to be crowned America’s next big inventor by ABC television this year. Hall, a former school teacher and one time NBA hopeful, quit a teaching job several years ago to devote himself full-time to his invention, the Word Ace.
Word Ace is an electronic spelling game intended to help students improve their skills while having fun. At a May screening of the ABC show’s finale at the Living Word Christian Center on Roosevelt Road, Hall was cheered by hundreds of supporters to a second place finish in the contest.
Though he didn’t take the television show’s first prize, Hall did earn himself a meeting with the Hasbro Games toy company. His invention also received ringing endorsements from focus groups and a three-time national Scrabble champion along the way.
Proviso Township hires new superintendent; District 209 sees immediate changes
Since the hire of Superintendent Stan Fields in August, Proviso Township High School District 209 has seen changes on several fronts, perhaps ushering in a new era for the embattled district.
In his first month on the job, Fields suspended both principals of the Proviso Math and Science Academy in Forest Park. The board of education voted to terminate one of those building administrators and as of Dec. 22 the second principal remains on unpaid administrative leave.
Fields has pointed to the district’s finances as being the most immediate priority, and resolved to balance the budget within two years. A balanced budget initiative was approved by the board and Fields has said next year’s budget proposal will be built from scratch.
A study done by Technivista, determined D209’s finances, employee moral, student performance and management practices were in poor standing.
Catholic school staying afloat; St. Bernardine avoids closure
For 90 years students have attended classes at the small Catholic school on Elgin Avenue, and in the midst of declining enrollment and a shrinking revenue base, St. Bernardine School remained open for another year.
Parents, teachers and administrators at the institution spoke of stability and tradition as motivating factors to rescue the school from financial hardship, but the Archdiocese of Chicago is keeping a close eye on the numbers. No official breaking point was put in place by the diocese, but the office is looking for another 50 students in the next two years.
To sustain the school through the 2006-07 year, parishioners kicked in some $80,000 in donations and landed their first ever billboard advertisement free of charge. Administrators did their part as well, hitting enrollment projections for the year.
Commissioner sues village; Terry Steinbach claims privacy violated by e-mail hackers
Arguing that a political rival gained access to privileged information, mayoral hopeful and village Commissioner Terry Steinbach filed a federal lawsuit against the village after discovering that an e-mail account may have been spied on.
According to court documents, Steinbach found that several e-mails within her village maintained account were forwarded to Mayor Anthony Calderone by a third party. Her suit names the village’s IT director as the only person who could access her password protected account, however, two John Doe defendants are named as co-conspirators.
The commissioner has declined to reveal the nature of those e-mails, but insists the release of the information contained within has harmed her. She is seeking an unspecified amount in compensatory damages and is requesting a jury trial.
The village has no record that it ever informed Steinbach of its policy on e-mail communications, which states there should be no expectation of privacy.
Chief wins decision against Sgt. Dan Harder; civil case pending
More than a year after Police Chief James Ryan requested a hearing to terminate Sgt. Dan Harder, the Fire and Police Commission voted overwhelmingly to affirm the allegations lodged by Ryan.
That vote, taken in October, upheld a list of 10 charges, seven of which contend the officer violated the department’s code of conduct when he used derogatory language with a subordinate. Harder was also accused of abusing the department’s policy on sick time and lying to the chief.
Commission member Glenn Garlisch cast the lone vote in Harder’s favor, voting not to sustain the accusation that Harder violated the department’s attendance policy.
On Dec. 7, the commission met again to consider sanctions against Harder. Both sides will have 35 days to appeal the ruling with the Cook County Circuit Court.
Harder is suing the village and several employees for violating his constitutional rights.
Civic giant retires; village better for Art Jones
As a community leader on several fronts, the news that longtime village resident Art Jones was heading south for greener pastures and warmer skies was a momentous day for the community.
Though he and his wife still maintain an apartment in Forest Park, Jones announced in May that he would become a full-time resident of South Carolina after having helped lead the community out of some very bleak times. Among his many credits, Jones served as a superintendent for District 91, was an executive vice president with a local bank and sat on various economic development boards including the Main Street Redevelopment Association.
Just prior to his withdrawal from various civic groups, colleagues and co-workers described Jones as an even-handed, consummate professional who handled life in the fish bowl like a southern gentleman.
No longer in the public eye, Jones is still playing a role in the future of Forest Park. He was hired as a consultant by the District 91 Board of Education to help find potential replacements for retiring Superintendent Randolph Tinder.
Roos property still seen as viable; developer eyeing residential use
No bricks were laid nor were any nails hammered, but plans to rehab the former Roos property at 7329 Harrison St. continue to feed hopes that the long vacant structure can be saved from demolition.
Developer Alex Troyanovsky teamed up with architect John Schiess to unveil a proposal in July to construct 102 residential units within the existing shell. That mix of townhouses and condominiums was scaled back slightly several months later when a new architect was called on to head the project.
The village is set to review the revised plans in early January, but Troyanovsky has said there will be 70 loft condos and 28 town homes.
The 107,000-square foot building was constructed in the 1920s as the home of the Edward Roos Cedar Chest Company.
No deal struck on YMCA; talks more than 12 months old
More than a year’s time has passed since representatives of the West Cook YMCA proposed building a new facility in Forest Park, and no deals have been inked.
Since commissioners heard the pitch in October of 2005 to construct a $19 million facility in Forest Park, negotiations have moved at a “glacial” pace, according to Village Administrator Mike Sturino.
In November, YMCA officials reached the end of their fiscal rope and said they would not increase their offer to purchase a portion of the village owned Altenheim property off Madison Street. At least four members of the village council said the project is still viable.
Even if a selling price were agreed on, the YMCA still has some significant fund-raising to do. Of the estimated $19 million needed to construct a 65,000-square foot facility complete with two indoor pools, a track and basketball courts, roughly $10 million is expected to come from donations.
Park district fixture retires; Novak steps down after three decades of service
After more than three decades of making sure people were having a good time, Dave Novak announced in May that he would pass that responsibility onto the next executive director of the Forest Park Park District.
Novak, 55, is retiring from the park district after having led the organization for 23 years. He began his career with the district in 1974 and worked as the superintendent of recreation before taking the corner office in 1983. During his tenure the village saw the construction of the $3.1 million aquatic center in 1995, and sweeping renovations to the park’s softball and soccer fields.
Novak said he will miss the village’s 16-inch softball tournaments most of all.
In addition to his work with the park district, Novak has served on the board of directors for the Chamber of Commerce and Main Street, was a member of the District 91 Board of Education and the Community Education Council.

While the iPad has had the benefit of a surprise attack, its successor will not be so lucky. Many manufacturers, some from the Android battlefront, others sporting original “home-made†operating systems have worked hard and prepared their reply to the new iPad 2.
Scheduled to reach stores on July 1, Hewlett Packard’s creation incorporates many interesting features, including the ability to connect an HP smartphone for data transfer purposes through a simple physical touch between the two devices. This and the improved webOS as well as full multitasking support make the TouchPad a powerful contender.
RIM BlackBerry PlayBook
While it will never match the iPad 2’s technical abilities, the Research In Motion tablet is a great alternative to Apple’s design for enterprise users, being perfectly compatible with BlackBerry smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Currently considered the best Android tablet on the market, it is clear why this device will strongly compete with the iPad 2. It’s 10.1 inch display will certainly attract consumers who want to enjoy games and other such forms of entertainment.
Apple MacBook Air
While some would say that comparing two different device types makes no sense, MacBook Air’s lightweight and thing profile, as well as the soon implementation of Max OS X Lion, which will bring multitouch gestures to the platform ensure that the iPad 2 will not be the only Apple product presenting sleek hand-on functionality.
The tablet will come with a 9.4 inch display and Android operating system. While it will certainly not beat the iPad 2, Sony’s implementation of Qriocity as well as the PlayStation Suite, a platform allowing users to enjoy old PS 1 games on the tablet, the S1 will most likely grab its fair share of the market.
A stronger creation from the manufacturing company, the S2 will come with two 5.5†displays that can be used either individually or together, creating unique possibilities in the tablet market. Moreover, to sustain this feature, the tablet will sport a clamshell design, enabling consumers to fold the device in order to increase its mobility. This tablet, perhaps even more so than the S1, will indeed prove to be a threat.
Apple iPhone 4
Again, like the MacBook Air, this will prove to compete with the iPad due to similarities in functions and design. Moreover, unlike the iPad 2, the iPhone 4 can also make calls.
HP Pavilion dm3t Laptop
While the tablet tries to incorporate as many work-related features, ultimately if users want to have increased productivity as well as speed, the Pavilion dm3t, around the same price as an iPad 2, will certainly appease them.
Perhaps not the best of the Android front, the tablet comes with a 10.1 inch display and a front as well as rear-facing cameras. However, coming on at $429.99 or $479.99 depending on storage, it is certainly cheaper than the iPad 2.
Samsung Series 5 Chromebook
Although certainly limited to a very select clientele, this notebook is small, easily mobile, and perfectly suited for users who run their daily routine around web-based apps.

The Life Sciences Report: Brian, your coverage universe is bunched into a narrow market cap range of $20–25 million ($20–25M), with a couple of outliers—one down at $6M and one up at $63M. I can't help but think that this market cap range embraces your theme. Is that the case? Do you have a theme?
Brian Marckx: Our theme is providing coverage for very small companies that have little or no existing analyst coverage and are largely unknown. It's essentially about uncovering companies with compelling stories that most of Wall Street may not have heard about and that may be trading cheaply.
TLSR: With so little coverage and so few people on the buyside able to own these stocks, doesn't that make the difficulty level two or three times greater than if you were to follow companies with wider coverage? You are really into these stories by yourself, without a life vest, aren't you?
BM: Absolutely, yes. And it does make coverage more of a challenge when you're the only one looking at the stock. There is limited information on the company, and you're going in blind for the most part, starting from ground zero.
TLSR: How do you begin? I'm thinking that you probably start with company management and then move outside to verify that technologies are actually valid. Does that sound right?
BM: Yes. I start with management, which can answer questions and guide me. Then we do our own due diligence, which entails talking to people outside the company, the experts in the industry, and looking at any public information that might be available. I usually come up with a number of questions during due diligence, and go back to have a longer conversation with management before writing and finishing my initiation report. It can be a lengthy process, particularly for companies that aren't well known and especially for proposed products that are novel.
TLSR: Isn't it difficult to value tiny medtech companies like these? A company may have a valid and workable technology, but doesn't have the scale of an Abbott Laboratories (ABT:NYSE), or even of a mid-cap company. How do you value penny-stock companies? I'm asking because a sum-of-the-parts valuation is not really germane when you consider the risk discount you have to apply to companies that trade at such low valuations.
BM: Valuation is always a challenge with very small companies. Some are at the development stage, or the very early revenue stage with no earnings, and they may not generate positive income for several years. Using a standard valuation metric like a comparable (comp), or a price:earnings ratio (P/E), or even a price:earnings:growth (PEG) ratio, doesn't necessarily work with a lot of the micro caps that I cover. In that scenario, I'll use a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, as it allows me to look out maybe 10 or more years, at which point a company is either likely to be generating positive cash or to be in real trouble. Either way, it provides a method of valuing a development-stage company that currently may not look very good from a financial perspective, but takes into account estimated financial performance that may be stronger several years into the future.
If the company does have current earnings, I think PEG is often a better metric than a P/E comp, as the indicated earnings can be less stable with these small companies, particularly compared to the large-cap universe. I don't think using a P/E comp captures that inherent volatility risk. Incorporating your growth estimate with PEG allows you to account for more of that inherent earnings volatility.
One other thing: A sum-of-the-parts valuation often doesn't work with these micro caps because a lot of the companies are one-trick ponies—one product, one operating business and one major market.
TLSR: Even when you have products moving through the regulatory pathway successfully, or even if you have approved products, these medtech stocks don't react like a small drug-development stock might react. It's frustrating, isn't it?
BM: In a biotech or a small drug company, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is huge. That oftentimes can be seen as the catalyst. But in medtech, the FDA hurdle—or the regulatory hurdle in general—is often much lower. It is not necessarily the catalyst, or necessarily a huge catalyst, particularly with class 1 and class 2 devices, in which the FDA approval hurdle can be relatively low. Oftentimes investors won't get too excited if a device is approved in the U.S., or in any country for that matter, like they might with a drug.
TLSR: So the catalyst in medtech is going to be product sales, right?
BM: Sales, profitability and, ultimately, cash flow are the end catalysts. But there are earlier catalysts, too—things like additional positive clinical data, which is similar to a drug; recommendations from medical organizations in favor of using a product; and even things like positive changes in reimbursement. Those earlier catalysts can make a big difference.
TLSR: Why should a small- and micro-cap investor be interested in medtech, versus a micro-cap biotech or drug developer? Why would you take the risk that is inherent in a low double-digit market-cap company in medtech, instead of in a company with a drug?
BM: There are undiscovered micro-cap gems in any industry, whether it's biotech, medtech, oil and gas, financials or whatever. Companies are going to be undervalued, even taking into consideration the inherent risk of investing in a very small, and potentially very thinly traded stock.
Specific to medtech, there are definitely some challenges in the industry. Some of those are new, like the medical device excise tax. But there are also real reasons to be interested in medtech, because diagnosing and treating diseases earlier is a major emphasis in improving healthcare and patient outcomes. With an aging and more sedentary population, the demand for healthcare is going to grow. Age-related diseases are addressed by new drugs, but are very much dealt with by medtech as well.
TLSR: Let's talk about companies. Pick one for me.
BM: Verisante Technology Inc. (VRS:TSX.V) makes a device called the Aura for the detection of skin cancer. It has both a CE mark in Europe and Health Canada approval, has recently launched its device in those regions and already has distribution in Canada and Europe, including in Germany, which is a very big medical device market. It booked initial sales in Q1/13.
"A sum-of-the-parts valuation doesn't work with these micro caps because a lot of them are one-trick ponies — one product, one operating business and one major market."
Skin cancer is a virtually untapped market as far as detection devices go. The way that skin cancer is diagnosed or screened now is somewhat antiquated. A dermatologist essentially looks at the skin and makes a determination of whether a particular lesion should be biopsied.
TLSR: Give me the quick take on how the Aura works.
BM: The Verisante Aura uses what the company calls Raman spectroscopy. It's essentially a near-infrared laser that vibrates the molecular bonds in the lesions, which changes the light reflected back to the sensor. The biochemical makeup of the tissue is determined that way, and then the results are compared to a database to determine whether the tissue is cancerous or not. It's totally noninvasive. The device has gone through clinical trials, and it looks relatively accurate.
There is only one other device on the market that's of significance in terms of competition: the MelaFind, which is made by MELA Sciences Inc. (MELA:NASDAQ). There haven't been any head-to-head studies performed between the two devices, but Verisante's technology looks to be more accurate, which is very important. It also has a number of other significant advantages, one being that it's much faster—you can scan a whole body rapidly, whereas the MelaFind system would take a long time to do that. The U.S. market is a goal, but it's probably down the road, after some U.S.-based studies are done. Verisante's game plan is to roll the Aura out overseas first, to help finance the U.S. studies.
BM: Most likely, yes. That's right.
TLSR: Would there be a procedure code to go with this diagnostic, or would the dermatologist or clinic have to absorb the cost of the device?
BM: Most likely there would not be reimbursement, initially at least. That's a big question mark, and has been a big question mark since before MELA launched its device. Verisante can use that as a measuring stick to see if insurers are going to pay for the Aura. The dermatologist would charge the patient, and the patient would have to pay out of pocket. Based on MelaFind's launch, which hasn't been that spectacular, it appears that patients are willing to pay.
TLSR: Do you imagine that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which determines payment eligibility of services, could look at this and consider it to be another toy for the dermatology practice, which is already a very big cash business with patients?
BM: I don't know; only time will tell. I know CMS can take a long time to make a decision, so potentially it's on the radar screen and already being looked at.
TLSR: CMS would have to see a clear benefit ratio here, wouldn't it?
BM: That's certainly what it has indicated in the past. Not necessarily for this device, but historically CMS wants to see a clear benefit. If Verisante can show that, it has a great shot at reimbursement. If the Aura is just a toy to make money on, CMS is not interested in that.
TLSR: Basal cell carcinoma is highly invasive but it does not metastasize frequently. On the other end of the scale, melanoma is very aggressive and does indeed metastasize. Is the Raman spectral analysis valid and accurate, as far as you know, for basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma—all three skin cancers?
BM: It is—and that's a differentiation between MELA and Verisante's product.
TLSR: Brian, I'm noting a recent price of about $0.23/share, and your target price is $2.25/share. Is that a 12-month or 18-month target?
BM: That's a 12-month target.
TLSR: Can you give me another idea?
BM: My next idea is SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (SNWV:OTCBB). It makes a device called dermaPACE for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, which is a roughly estimated $2 billion ($2B) market in the U.S. And that market is growing as the number of diabetics grows.
"With an aging and more sedentary population, the demand for healthcare is going to grow. Age-related diseases are addressed by new drugs, but are very much dealt with by medtech as well."
The device uses shockwaves to promote blood flow and tissue growth. In late 2011, dermaPACE was in a PMA device trial and just barely missed the primary endpoint. The FDA came out with a denial. SANUWAVE designed a new trial, which is supplemental in the sense that it can build off of the initial trial data, which was mostly positive. The FDA approval of the use of Bayesian statistical methods is a real benefit to SANUWAVE, as this method applies sequential analysis, meaning that the supplemental data can build on the positive results from the initial study. The totality of the data will hopefully show statistical significance on the primary endpoint. The FDA typically approves Bayesian methods when there's already compelling data to build upon, so we view that as another vote of confidence.
The new trial is smaller than the first, but it is still a multicenter study, and has just begun enrolling patients. It's designed very similarly to the first trial, but uses more treatment procedures to help improve the efficacy. At this point, the trial is expected to complete in Q2/14, and the company is shooting for PMA submission in late 2014, with potential approval in 2015. This product would compete against Kinetic Concepts Inc.'s (private) wound-healing device, which uses negative wound pressure. SANUWAVE's device potentially works better.
This is a tiny company entering a very big market. Although it would compete directly with a fairly dominant product on the market now, dermaPACE looks like it could be very competitive.
TLSR: SANUWAVE is up 267% in the past six months. What has been the driver here? Is this performance due to it being a penny stock with a $13M market cap and easy-to-drive shares?
BM: Part of it may be that. Sometimes it's difficult to tell with these micro-cap stocks because, as you know, the shares get pushed around easily.
SANUWAVE was in what I would characterize as a holding pattern between the time it got the negative FDA news and when this new study started gearing up. The company needed money, it needed to cut costs and it needed to consolidate to be able to fund the new study. During that period the stock languished; there wasn't much going on or much volume. But over the last few months, the company has brought on new management and a new CEO, it has secured initial financing to start the study, and it got Institutional Review Board approvals at its study sites. In short, SANUWAVE has made a lot of progress, and the company has a solid game plan in place. My opinion is that this second study has a good chance of succeeding, and it may be that investors are on board with that same theme.
TLSR: Could I hear another idea?
BM: VolitionRx Ltd. (VNRX:OTCPK) makes a noninvasive cancer test that is based on epigenetic markers and requires a simple blood draw. The company is initially targeting colon cancers, but breast and lung cancers will be a focus after this first indication. Initial small studies have indicated that the test, called NuQ, has a relatively high degree of both sensitivity and specificity.
VolitionRx is ramping up its clinical studies, and just announced a big, 10,800-patient study in colorectal cancer, which is going to be run in Denmark. It's a head-to-head study versus colonoscopy, and this could be a big deal. Analysis on the first 1,000 patients is expected within the next few months, so we will be able to get an early look at the test's accuracy. The company is going to use that data, assuming it's positive, to support a CE mark application. The game plan is to launch in Europe in early 2014. The U.S., of course, is going to require more clinical studies, and therefore the U.S. market is probably a few years off.
TLSR: Is this a screening to determine if asymptomatic patients should have a colonoscopy?
BM: I envision that initially it would be for symptomatic patients, but clearly the potential longer-term goal, which would be hitting the gold mine, would be to evaluate asymptomatic patients in place of colonoscopy. This current study, versus colonoscopy, will hopefully give us a decent indication of where the test could be used in the intervention process.
TLSR: You have a target price of $7.25/share, which is almost a quadruple from where shares are now. Is that a 12-month target price?
BM: Yes, it is.
TLSR: Your next idea?
BM: CytoSorbents Corp. (CTSO:OTCBB) makes a blood purification filter, CytoSorb, that removes cytokines and other toxic substances from the blood. The device is a cartridge filled with patented, highly porous, adsorbent polymer beads that remove the unwanted substances from the blood. The cartridge filter is connected to tubing through which blood flows. The blood is pumped with a conventional dialysis machine, although no dialysis cartridge is used. It uses patented polymer beads in a filter to remove those unwanted substances. The target market is for critically ill patients, such as those who have sepsis, trauma, respiratory distress. It's essentially for use in patients who could die if they don't improve quickly.
The system has been used in a fairly small clinical study in Europe, which showed that it was safe and that it reduced key cytokines. It's now CE-marked and being commercialized in Europe. It is also undergoing investigator-led studies to prove that it works. That is a drawn-out runway to help commercialization, but the company is making progress.
TLSR: This is for use in the intensive care unit, is that right?
BM: Yes, that is correct. It also has been awarded several government-sponsored grants, including a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) award that is focused on developing a device for treatment of sepsis.
CytoSorbents is a micro-cap company, but it does have capital, which we think it is using very smartly. The company is not just coming right out and trying to sell the product without physicians understanding how it works and how it's used properly. I think the technology has a lot of potential, and early indications are that it works.
TLSR: Your next idea?
BM: OptimizeRx Corp. (OPRX:OTC) takes advantage of a certain niche, that being drug companies that market directly to physicians. The company has a revolutionary way of doing business. It has developed software called SampleMD, whereby every time a doctor writes a prescription, he or she can print out a coupon for the medication or send an e-coupon to the pharmacy. Every time a doctor prints a coupon, OptimizeRx gets paid $4 or $5. Pharmaceutical companies can reduce their costs by not having to rely so much on sales reps going to medical offices, where reps are increasingly being shut out by the physicians. SampleMD allows drug companies to continue to sample directly to physicians and patients without sales rep face-time. It is very revolutionary.
TLSR: OptimizeRx is up 36% over the past 12 weeks.
BM: Yes—there has been increasing awareness and increased interest in the company, which is reflected in the stock price. Electronic prescriptions are the fastest-growing segment of all electronic health applications. SampleMD has integrated its system into Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc.'s (MDRX:NASDAQ) electronic prescribing system, as well as other e-prescription systems, including NewCropRx LLC (private) and DrFirst (private). Allscripts is the largest electronic prescribing provider, so this is a great relationship for OptimizeRx. OptimizeRx continues to build its footprint and just this week announced SampleMD will be incorporated into HealthTronics Inc.'s (HTRN:NASDAQ) e-prescribing workflow. HealthTronics is the largest provider of urology services in the U.S. On the other side, OptimizeRx has relationships with some of the big pharma companies, like Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK:NYSE), Abbott and Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY:NYSE).
TLSR: It's a software-based, not shoe-leather-based, business, and therefore it should be scalable. Do you see it that way?
BM: The business is incredibly scalable. OptimizeRx can essentially ramp revenue with very little additional operating expense. The company's game plan is to broaden its prescriber base to get its coupons into the hands of more physicians. It will also continue to expand the number of drugs promoted—OptimizeRx has been very successful on both of these fronts over the last couple of years. As it is now, the company is generating revenue, which has been growing. It has a very low cost expense base. It is very close to profitability and being cash-flow positive. In fact, OptimizeRx preannounced Q2/13 revenue and earnings, both of which showed dramatic increases and were ahead of my estimates. This company looks like it could really take off.
TLSR: Another idea?
BM: Biomerica Inc. (BMRA:OTCBB) is probably one of the least exciting companies that I cover, but that's not a negative in this case. This company has been in business for 40 years, so it has history. It sells diagnostic tests, mostly for gastrointestinal diseases, infectious diseases, diabetes and women's health. These aren't necessarily the newest, best or most exciting tests; what attracted me to the company was its growing revenue. It has positive cash flow and positive earnings. I like management; members of the team don't pay themselves a lot. The stock is incredibly cheap. This is one of those companies that you feel very comfortable about when you invest in it. You can sleep at night. In the micro-cap space, you don't always see that. Biomerica is an outlier when it comes to that, I think.
TLSR: Biomerica has a $6M market cap, a tiny valuation, but it makes money. Why doesn't management take the company private? It seems like it could buy this company for $20M or less.
BM: Yes, I think management could, and it's a good question. The company is not out there raising financing all the time, and it doesn't necessarily need to be public. But the business is run right, and that's another thing that you don't always see with very small public companies. Management isn't there to enrich itself. It is there to run a business, and it shows.
TLSR: Do you have another idea you could share with me today?
BM: iCAD, Inc. (ICAD:NASDAQ) has two business segments. Its market is cancer, and it is in both cancer detection and cancer treatment. Its cancer treatment segment is where I see the bulk of the long-term opportunity. ICAD makes a device for intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) for breast cancer, and this is a big growth area. As opposed to traditional external-beam radiation, which delivers radiation to the tumor from outside of the body, IORT radiates from within the body, directly to the cancerous site. IORT, for those patients where its application is deemed appropriate, has been shown to be more effective than external-beam radiation and, since it is more targeted, reduces the risk of killing healthy tissue. It essentially radiates only part of the breast. Reimbursement has been somewhat of an issue, but has gotten better and could continue to get better, because surgeons are interested in this technology. The company has been selling the devices, and utilization has been increasing.
"Sales, profitability and, ultimately, cash flow are the end catalysts."
The company also has an applicator for the treatment of skin cancer. The device has already started to take off, and this could be big. There were a number of question marks early on, particularly about reimbursement and whether iCAD could sell the device into the market without significant reimbursement. But that has gotten better. As reimbursement improves and awareness increases, this stock has a lot of potential.
TLSR: This is the largest company in your coverage, at least that I am aware of. It has a $63M market cap. Also, investors seem to like it because it is up 178% over the past 12 months. Any comment on that?
BM: Investors are certainly looking at iCAD. Management does a fantastic job on conference calls. The company provides a lot of detail. It's a story that you feel very comfortable getting behind.
TLSR: Is there a last idea you would like to share?
BM: BioLife Solutions Inc. (BLFS:OTCBB) develops biopreservation media for cells, tissues and organs. Biopreservation media are solutions used to maintain the viability of biological material such as cells (including stem cells), whole blood and tissues following removal from the body, during storage and transportation, and while undergoing handling, manipulation and processing by researchers engaged in regenerative medicine product development.
It is estimated that demand for biopreservation media will grow at an annual rate of almost 20% for the next several years. BioLife expects to benefit from the emerging field of regenerative medicine (including cell therapy and tissue engineering), which has recently experienced rapid growth, largely as a result of recent advancements using stem cells to regenerate and repair tissues and organs, as well as to treat a number of diseases.
Today most of the biopreservation market is dominated by "home brews," or in-house solutions. BioLife Solutions' products, based on independent testing, appear to offer certain advantages over these home brews in terms of performance, reliability, shelf life and in the overall preservation of the viability and stability of cells. BioLife has drawn on more than two decades of molecular research that focused on how chilling can damage cells; this provided the backbone for product development, as well as for the differentiation and added value of the company's products versus competing biopreservation media.
BioLife also has a contract manufacturing business. Financial performance has been very strong. The company set a new revenue record for the ninth straight time in Q1/13. The stock is up about 370% in the last 12 months and is up about 438% since I started covering the company in July 2012. My current price target is $0.90/share.
TLSR: I've enjoyed this very much, Brian. Thank you.
BM: I appreciate it as well. Thank you, George.

Chevrolet Aug sales up 29pc in Mideast
Dubai, September 9, 2013
Chevrolet sold a record number of its Cruze compact cars in the Middle East during August, helping drive the brand’s overall sales 29 percent higher across the region.
Dealers in the region sold 6,434 vehicles, as passenger car sales surged 73 per cent to 3,690, marking August as the best month so far this year for passenger car sales.
Sales of the Cruze, Chevrolet’s best-selling car around the world, more than quadrupled year-on-year to 1,862.
Total Chevrolet vehicle sales climbed 53 per cent year-on-year in Saudi Arabia, the brand’s largest market in the Middle East, as passenger car sales in the Kingdom more than doubled.
Total Chevrolet vehicle sales climbed by 19 per cent in Kuwait, and 4 per cent in the UAE.
Passenger car sales in the UAE grew by 41 per cent compared to August 2012.
“August was an excellent sales month for Chevrolet across the Middle East with another impressive performance by our passenger cars, led by the Cruze,” said Ahmed Soudodi, Chevrolet brand manager for the Middle East.
“With the successful launch of the Impala earlier this year, and the launch the all-new 2014 Silverado in October, I am confident the brand’s sales will grow further.”
Elsewhere in the Middle East, Chevrolet vehicle sales grew by 26 percent in Jordan and 17 percent in Oman. – TradeArabia News Service

The District has started a grant program for aid organizations that are assisting the illegal immigrants being bussed to the city from Texas and Arizona.
D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced the grants, promising up to $150,000 in financial support for organizations that complete the application by the end of the day Tuesday.
The grant money also needs to be spent before the District’s fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing migrants to D.C. in April and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey began doing it in May. The governors, both Republicans, launched the program to protest the Biden administration’s lax border policies that have inundated their states with illegal immigrants.
Organizations that are eligible for the D.C. grants must be nonprofit, community-based organizations with a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) tax status. Those organizations will need to outline the services and resources the grants will go toward, estimate how many migrants they will serve and meet other requirements.
“The decision by the Governors of Texas and Arizona to bus asylum-seeking migrants to the District is causing a humanitarian crisis,” AG Racine said in the release. “The organizations and individuals who have shouldered the burden of providing basic needs and services — including housing, food, transportation, and legal assistance — are understandably strained and simply cannot be expected to carry this responsibility alone.”
Last month, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser sent letters to the Department of Defense and the White House asking for help accommodating some 4,000 migrants that were transported to the nation’s capital.
In the letters, Ms. Bowser said the city had reached a “tipping point” in helping situate the migrants.

Do you know that feeling of frustration at seeing something that you know can be great done badly? Well, that’s exactly how this dish came about. I found out through one of the vegan Facebook groups that a particular UK chain does a vegan tofu katsu. People were excited about it, so I got excited too, told Duncan (who loves that dish) and, without further ado, we went to check it out for ourselves.
When a humongous (yet sadly very uninspiring bowl) of slop got placed in front of us, we wished we had gone somewhere else. We spent a good 30 minutes discussing how this dish could have been great had it been prepared with a bit of care and know-how and how it’s a shame so many places still treat vegan options as a complete afterthought. They clearly do not understand that a little care and imagination (as opposed to fancy ingredients) is all that is needed to make a cracking vegan dish.
I promised Duncan and myself then that I would make it for the blog, so here it is! What was wrong with the restaurant version, you ask? The tofu completely lacked texture – not only did they use silken instead of firm cotton tofu, they also covered it in the sauce, which meant that the usually crispy panko coating turned into a soggy mess. The sauce was bland and one dimensional – all you could taste was overpowering curry powder. The rice was bland, and there was no contrasting flavour or texture that this dish cries out for so much. There were no pickles, no salad and nothing to take your mind off what mediocre food you were paying for.
It’s such a shame as with so few places providing well thought-out and executed vegan options, once we find a place that we like, we are very loyal customers. As I kind of cook for a living, I really appreciate being cooked for for a change, but it’s gotta be worth leaving the house for, right? I will continue searching for a tasty vegan version of this famous Japanese curry, but in the meantime, here is my take on it. I’m not claiming it’s the most authentic version of this dish that exists, but it definitely delivers on taste and texture.
- 400 g / 14 oz firm (cotton) tofu, pressed*
- 4 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for GF version)
- all purpose flour / rice flour for GF version
- about 1 cup gelatinous aquafaba**, homemade or from a tin of chickpeas or ½ cup cornflour mixed in with water
- 100 g / 3.5 oz panko breadcrumbs (or GF breadcrumbs if required)
- oil for shallow frying (I used rice bran oil)
- 2 tbsp neutral tasting oil
- 1 white onion, finely diced
- 5 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 3 tsp ginger, finely grated
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 small Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
- 4 tsp curry powder (I used hot madras curry powder)
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 heaped tbsp white miso paste (GF miso for gluten-intolerance)
- 4 tsp tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine) or maple syrup, to taste
- 2 cups of your favourite rice, cooked
- assorted lettuce leaves
- pickled radishes
- Cut the tofu into 4 large slices. Place them in a shallow dish with 4 tbsp of soy sauce (or tamari), flipping them to the other side from time to time. Set aside to allow the tofu to infuse with the soy sauce.
- Heat up 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan with a matching lid. Add diced onion and sauté until almost translucent. Add garlic and a minute or two later add ginger. Fry for another minute or two stirring frequently.
- Add the sliced carrot, diced apple, curry powder and garam masala. Stir around and fry off for a minute or two.
- Dissolve 1 tbsp of miso paste in 1 cup of warm water and add it to the pan.
- Simmer, on low heat (with a lid on) for about 10-15 minutes until the carrots and apples become soft.
- Transfer to an upright blender or use a stick blender to make a smooth, thick sauce. Season with tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar and mirin. Add more water if the sauce is too thick.
- Prepare 2 large plates and one shallow bowl. Place flour on the first plate. Pour the aquafaba into a bowl and put the breadcrumbs mixed with ¼ tsp of salt onto the second plate. Alternatively, you could skip the flour and instead of using aquafaba prepare an egg substitute by whisking ½ cup corn flour / corn starch with ½ cup of water. If that’s what you decide to use, be aware than corn flour tends to drop to the bottom of the dish so you’ll need to give it a good stir before coating each piece of tofu.
- Fill a small frying pan or the bottom of a wok with frying oil and let it heat up.
- Coat each piece of tofu in flour, then in aquafaba and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs into the tofu and shake each piece gently before putting it into the hot oil to allow excess breadcrumbs to come off. If using a cornflour solution, coat each piece in the cornflour mixture and then in the breadcrumbs.
- Once the oil heats up, it’s important that it is hot enough (a breadcrumb thrown into it should sizzle immediately), fry each piece of tofu for about 2 minutes on each side – until the coating becomes golden brown. Place the freshly fried pieces on a plate lined with a kitchen towel to get rid of excess oil.
- Serve with rice, a simple green salad and a generous amount of curry sauce.
**For this particular application, aquafaba (chickpea brine) should resemble an egg white in consistency so I recommend making it yourself – here is how or reducing over a low flame if you are using one from a tin of chickpeas. I cook my chickpeas and then leave them in the pot for a few hours, which makes aquafaba gain more strength as it sits around – often that is enough to make it quite thick and jelly-like. If not, I pour it into a small pot and reduce over a low flame some more.
My recipe is an adaptation of my previous katsu recipe.

A friend asked me the other day what I do with all the projects and printables I make. Honestly? I try to give them away or disassemble them for parts. Sometimes I just throw them away. I know that sounds kinda terrible but I live in a small house (as I mentioned in my Teeny Tiny Craft Room tour) and only have so much storage room for unnecessary things. That’s not to say my projects wouldn’t be helpful to someone else but for me, at this point in my life, I just don’t need some of them.
Not so with this Travel Picnic Blanket! I totally need this and there’s no way I’m giving it away. Interestingly enough, this project falls under the “Not-Going-To-Buy-One-Because-I-Can-Make-It” category which turns out to have a subcategory called “Should-Have-Just-Bought-One-Because-It’s-Taking-Years-To-Make.” But finally I have one and it’s wonderfully useful and cute all at the same time!
Making a Travel Blanket of your own is really easy and you can customize it as much or as little as you want. First of all, you’re going to want to pick up a 5’x5′ Poly Backed Canvas Dropcloth from The Home Depot. I like that the poly backing gives the blanket some water-resistance and the price (10 bucks!) was totally in my budget.
If you decide to add some decoration to your Travel Picnic Blanket, you can use any stencil or make your own with the Silhouette Stencil Material (thank you Silhouette America for sending me a package to sample!) I went with a fun bicycle motif but if you have a Silhouette, you can make pattern. Here’s the Bicycle Repeating Pattern in case you want to make the exact same blanket. (Studio File, SVG File)
Full disclosure: this part took foooooor-ever! I love the final result but having to stipple that many bikes took a few sessions with some coffee breaks in between. I don’t know that I would do it differently if I were to do this project over again because I seriously love the look but just wanted to give you a heads up!
After you’ve stenciled the entire fabric and allowed the paint to dry, fold up the blanket and mark where you want the handles to go. You can fold it my way or any other way you like. Doesn’t really matter, although, I kinda wish I would have folded mine so that the bike print would be upright in the front but that’s just me being my normal particular self.
Use a strong 1/16″ hole punch (I love mine from We R Memory Keepers!) to punch holes in a few strips of leather. I used a package of craft leather meant for belt making but you can use strong ribbon or even an old belt that might have seen better days.
Fold up your blanket, interlace the leather straps, and throw over your shoulder. You’re now ready to hit the park! Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and give the Silhouette Stencil Material a try. It was a breeze to cut and the sticky back really helped with placement. Have a great picnic!

What makes for an optimal patent? Some argue that a patent’s ultimate enforceability is the proper measure, while others argue that an optimal patent is one that made its way through the patent process with the least expense. With patent prosecution technology, however, these two views are not mutually exclusive. Patent optimization in the modern era means setting yourself up for receiving a strong patent as efficiently as possible – by reducing errors early and making wise decisions at every phase, from patent application drafting to issuance.
Patent Application Drafting and Review.
Effective patent drafting is a tedious process. Patent professionals labor over seemingly minute details that could have a major impact on a patent application’s final disposition, such as selecting the proper terminology to use and ensuring consistency among patent sections. Every billable second spent drafting and revising an application increases the cost of an application, and decreases the final patent’s relative value (the market value of the patent compared to the cost to obtain it). Sophisticated patent drafting tools cut the cost of patent drafting by comprehensively assessing the quality of a patent draft and by offering viable solutions for improving patent quality in much less time than could be done by an individual patent practitioner.
LexisNexis PatentOptimizer® is an advanced patent drafting tool that seamlessly integrates into your favorite workspaces, such as Microsoft Word®. From the PatentOptimizer® toolbar, patent professionals can access a wide variety of tools designed to help produce high-quality patent applications. Users can run analytics on their patent drafts to identify issues that could ultimately lead to a USPTO rejection, and quickly perform revisions recommended by PatentOptimizer. Patent practitioners can even check for consistency of reference figures and labels across their document sections with the “Check Parts” tool; the “Check Claims” tool generates an assessment of how patent claims work in relationship to the written specification.
Preparation for Submission.
Once the drafting is done and it is time to submit your patent application, patent practitioners focus their attention toward preparing all of the forms and paperwork required by the USPTO. The Information Disclosure Statement (IDS), a submission of relevant prior art information to the USPTO, is a notoriously inefficient use of a patent practitioner’s time. PatentOptimizer takes the work out of gathering and collecting necessary IDS information. Simply create a list in Word, Excel, or PDF format containing prior art reference numbers, such a publication numbers or patent numbers. PatentOptimizer will go to work to automatically populate USPTO IDS forms with the information gathered from patent authority archives worldwide.
Responses to Office Actions.
On average, each response to a patent examiner’s office action costs a patent applicant $3,000 to have prepared and submitted. Yet, with all of the patent applications that have gone through the USPTO prosecution process, there are often many responses to past office actions in the USPTO archives that can be drawn upon by patent practitioners to draft effective responses more quickly than from scratch. PatentOptimizer can be used to compare your case to similar cases in the USPTO archives to generate a suggested office action response, and can even recommend boilerplate arguments to expedite response drafting. It also can help patent practitioners avoid non-responsive replies and non-compliant amendments with advanced rejection analysis.
Strive for strength and efficiency through patent optimization. PatentOptimizer provides a variety of tools that help patent practitioners catch mistakes and save time. With PatentOptimizer at your fingertips, you, too, can optimize patent prosecution throughout each phase.

Wood is very popular construction material. There are a lot of homes and other structures that are made entirely out of wood. One of these structures is an eco-friendly timber house. The House Under The Oaks is a family home design in rural Austria that was built by Juri Troy.
The House Under the Oaks is a very simple design. The house sits on six columns as it dominates a hilltop on the countryside. There are Photovoltaic panels on the roof that help provide heat to the structure. Couple that with natural insulation and that’s how the space stays warm. The wood that was used is prefabricated lumber that comes with wool insulation. The wood on the interior is coated in white pigmented oil. This single floor property has an open kitchen plan and dining room area that is accessible via a full-height sliding glass window. The house design also allots space for built-in storage.

Celebrating my blogs birthday with loads of Batik related things to read, watch and to enjoy!
Batiks at Maison Amsterdam
After the last lockdown, giving workshops is up and running again. Next to finally returning to De Vrolijkheid for a fun workshop creating Colour-Fans, I have been giving Batikworkshops. First one of the year was a last-minute-short-intro on Batik for Artstudents at the HKU in Utrecht. The students had a week of learning about Blue, dyeing with Indigo, blockprinting, Shibori organised by Craft Council Nederland and I gave Batik. The creations made in the morning were dyed blue synthetic & natural by the students themselves.
Right after returning from Middelburg, I gave an evening workshop at Stichting Ana Upu hosted by Mantelzorgpunt in Lunteren. I gave a talk there in October and they asked me if they could also get a Batikworkshop by me. We had only two Monday evenings, so I adapted it to fit our time-schedule and was amazed what we could create in just 3 hours basically. My oldest participant was 93, although she found it a very difficult technique she still created several small pieces of Batik. I loved that at the end of the second evening everyone was making photos of each other’s work.
In January I gave a talk for CIHC on 'An overview of Peranakan Batik in Dutch Museums' and a little visual trip to Lasem. It was great to share how to access the archives and how to find these beauties kept in Dutch depots. I was also honoured to be a speaker between a Batiklegend as Ibu Widianti of Oey Soe Tjoen, Ibu Idrawati sharing her Gan family Batiklegacy and scholar & collector Christoper Ng.
Two years ago historian Suze Zijlstra asked me if I knew someone to design her business card. She wanted something maybe with batik and referring to her research & upcoming book ‘De Voormoeders’. I sayed I would love to do it. When we had our first lockdown I started designing her card. A year later her card was printed and in September 2021 her book was published. Since up till now Suze did not had many opportunities to hand out the card, I thought it would be nice to share the card, the inspiration & her book in a Batik Consultation video. We talk in depth about one of Suze's ancestors, Tan Kim Njo, and the batiks that she wore. And how those batiks inspired the business card I designed for Suze.
Now online on Youtube
Batik Consultation with Suze Zijlstra, historian and author of the book ‘De Voormoeders’ that was published last year. We talk in depth about one of Suze’s ancestors, Tan Kim Njo, and the batiks that she wore. And how those batiks inspired the business card I designed for Suze.

As the days of summer wane and a crisp autumn breeze arrives, we anticipate the cozy seasons ahead. This simple fall tablescape is perfect for gathering with loved ones at home. Foraged greenery and fresh florals create a look that is both casual and elegant.
Welcome friends! It is a special day because I am sharing my first FALL post of 2019! Autumn is by far my favorite season, and I get so giddy around this time of year as I look ahead to cooler days, cozy sweaters, pumpkin patches, cinnamon tea, and all things harvest. Today I am sharing a simple fall table as a part of a Fall Tablescape Tour hosted by Alicia from Nick + Alicia. I hope we inspire you to welcome fall with joy, and to welcome friends and family into your home.
You may find links to my blogger friends’ lovely tablescapes at the bottom of this post!
Setting the Tone: Fresh and Foraged
To set the tone for this fall tablescape, I focused on simple, natural elements. Creating floral arrangements is a relatively new hobby of mine, but I’ve found that I enjoy it immensely. Here I used flowers and eucalyptus from my local grocery store (budget friendly!) and two types of greenery from my yard (even more budget friendly 😉 ).
Here’s how to create this romantic, foraged look:
- Begin with greenery. Drape long stems over the side of the vase (I used a bit of store-bought eucalyptus, but mostly leaves from my yard). Be generous and fill out the sides of the arrangement.
- Next, add a few types of flowers near the center for a pop of color and whimsy. Choose florals with different shapes/sizes so they do not look too similar.
- Finally, fill in the center of the arrangement with a denser greenery (again, I used cuttings from bushes in my yard!).

Setting the Table: Simple and Inviting
When setting my table, I again decided to keep things simple. Noticing a theme? 😉 With two little kiddos running around, we aren’t too fancy these days!
A linen blend tablecloth from Homegoods adds warmth to our white dining table. I used these melamine plates that look like stoneware, and pretty textured bowls from at At Home. You may remember the blue cloth napkins from my summer tablescape! To finish off the look, I added a small greenery stem to each place. (Some of these items are not available online, but I will link similar options below!)
One of my favorite things about this tablescape is the wide glass vase. The visible stems look so pretty and add to the casual, foraged look of the arrangement. I found my vase at At Home, but this one is similar (just a bit smaller).
Our blue accent wall is relatively new! I shared a bit more about it in my Summer Tablescape post.
Thank you so much for stopping by Caitlin Marie Design today! If you are interested, you may subscribe to my email list to receive my posts right in your inbox 🙂

Nota di lavoro // Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei: Institutions and markets 2010,15
We propose a simple theory of predatory pricing, based on scale economies and sequential buyers (or markets). The entrant (or prey) needs to reach a critical scale to be successful. The incumbent (or predator) is ready to make losses on earlier buyers so as to deprive the prey of the scale it needs, thus making monopoly profits on later buyers. Several extensions are considered, including markets where scale economies exist because of demand externalities or two-sided market effects, and where markets are characterised by common costs. Conditions under which predation may take place in actual cases are also discussed.

Funding the journey to ‘the promised land’
Over the course of my twenty-year career as a business school academic, and the co-founder of Cambridge’s largest technology accelerator, I have been fortunate enough to mentor over 250 high growth ventures. I’ve witnessed spectacular success in the form of IPOs and nine-digit acquisitions but, perhaps more importantly, numerous failures and ‘close escapes’ along the way. Moreover, as an entrepreneur I have had some reasonable exits but also made some truly horrible mistakes, the latter being a source of great amusement to my MBA students.
In this article I will share some of the lessons I have learnt and how these might be relevant as we navigate the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. My brief from Kate was to write about funding, which, of course, opens up a whole range of issues. Simply put, your funding strategy is an integral, and mutually dependant, part of your business model and overall strategy for growth. It cannot be considered in isolation.
Starting at the highest level of abstraction, you and your board have three responsibilities: Governance, Strategy and Execution. These responsibilities should be viewed as intersecting circles in a Venn diagram. Perceived weakness in any one of these domains will turn-off investors for the simple reason that they will likely sink your venture.
Evidence suggests that the relative importance of each domain changes over time, but for those entrepreneurs in the early stages of their venture, during which oversight is often overlooked, I would recommend that you do not neglect the ultimate importance of governance. This is simply because its importance is usually only recognised after significant damage has been done. Simply put, in the absence of a stabilising influence, the personal morals of individual founders dominate the ethics and culture of an organisation. Enron and Theranos are both cases in point. The pragmatic advice, therefore, is to read the zeitgeist of your investor community and to remember that ‘faking it until you make it’ has a limited shelf life.
By governance I refer to business ethics, legal compliance, and investor relations. Although governance is the ultimate responsibility of the Board, I would strongly recommend that the positions of CEO and Chair be separated. The role of the Chair is to manage the Board, but if this power is vested in the CEO all manner of transgressions might take place. This is more common than you might imagine and, rest assured, investors learn from past mistakes. The roles of CEO and Chair should be performed by different people.
In terms of strategy, investors will obviously be interested in what your proposed, or current, strategy is. The key metrics used by investors to benchmark your strategy against industry standards are readily available online. Do your research, but feel free to deviate from the norm if your insight (secret sauce) suggests different metrics. This, after all, is where most unicorns come from. Just be prepared to defend your assumptions to sceptical investors and to pivot as necessary.
Your strategy, of course, will only be as good as the ‘quality’ of your team. Almost every investor is clear that the quality of the team is their most important criteria when evaluating proposals. Likewise, there is ample research to suggest that team related issues contribute to at least 65% of failures in high potential ventures. What is certainly clear is that the capabilities and competencies of your team will need to change as your business grows. In high growth firms this can present a significant challenge simply because the rate of change exceeds your capacity to develop new knowledge and skills, something known as the ‘Penrose Constraint’. At some point you (or your board) may reach the conclusion that you are the main barrier to the firm’s growth. In practice, if you decide to step down investors invariably view this in a positive light.
For example, research by Harvard’s Noam Wassermann suggests that by series C, 52% of founding CEOs have been replaced. Of these, 27% stood down voluntarily whilst 73% were fired. In 96% of cases, those who stood down retained a board seat, as opposed to only 60% of those who were fired. Know your limits, do the right thing, and emerge as an even more investable CEO.
Given the high churn rates in start-up teams I certainly recommend that all equity held by team members be subject to a vesting schedule. Obviously, this does not include equity purchased with cash or awarded in return for the assignment of IP rights. Vesting in the US and the UK works quite differently due to differences in tax laws, but the end results are the same. Remember that shares awarded to non-executive Directors should also be subject to vesting. If you don’t put a vesting schedule in place, it is very likely that your series A investor will insist on it.
In terms of your access to equity, it is important to remember that your bargaining power relative to investors decays very rapidly as you reach the end of your runway (i.e., running out of cash). Just like any commodity, the cost of capital rises when the seller knows that you are desperate. For example, a $5 million series A might result in 20% dilution if you have an 18-month runway, rising to 35% with only 6 months remaining. I’ve made this mistake myself and it hurts. The lesson is clear, start raising your next round of funding while you still have plenty of runway left and make sure you build in a contingency.
In this regard Covid-19 does appear to have had an impact, but much will depend on your business model and funding round. Most commentators agree at there is plenty of ‘dry powder’ (uncommitted capital) in the system but that the deal process (sourcing, evaluation, due-diligence) has been slowed down by the pandemic. Specifically, investors prefer to meet to start-up team in person as part of their decision-making process, something that has become far more difficult during periods of lockdown. Further, in the early stages of the pandemic some investors tended to focus on their existing portfolios at the expense of seeking new deals. Fortunately, this dynamic does not appear to be as pervasive as once feared.
Paradoxically, the volatility caused by Covid-19 may have a positive impact on the venture capital industry. Agile ventures with innovative business models tend to perform well in volatile, ‘high-velocity’ environments, which may mean that VC portfolios also receive an uplift. Also, the flow of capital from limited partners (the real customers of the Venture Capital firm), is unlikely to diminish. The looming prospect of inflation, combined with low returns in many other asset classes, will likely boost the attractiveness of early-stage equity.
To close, I would like to highlight a number of issues that continue to affect firms on their journey to the promised land of profitability and stable cash-flows.
The first is that location matters. Specifically, it is far easier to raise sizeable series B and C rounds in the US than it is in the UK. The lack of scale-up capital in the UK is a recognised issue, and one that the Government and British Business Bank are endeavouring to resolve. The problem is that fund sizes in the UK are generally too small to be able to make £20m + investments.
Secondly, quality matters. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of small and micro-VC funds which often provide an overseas home for ‘foreign capital’. The key issue is that the General Partners in these firms often lack experience in deal structuring and have limited social capital within the investment community. Further, they may not be sufficiently resourced (or skilled) to offer the advice you need. This may make the transition from seed to series A more difficult that it need be. My suggestion would be to accept a slightly lower share price (e.g. pre-money valuation) from a respected firm who is able to provide follow-on investment, sound advice and a reputational halo. Big name firms with deep pockets are also less likely to engage in ‘grandstanding’ whereby ventures are forced into a liquidity event (using drag along rights) well before their potential exit valuation has been reached.
T’s & C’s
Finally, beware of ridiculous terms and conditions! In recent years convertible debt has become very popular, especially in pre-seed and seed rounds. Properly structured, convertible notes can work well, but often they are not. The key is to understand that the loan will convert into equity at a share price determined by either a conversion discount (say 15%) or a valuation cap, whichever is lower. In practice you need to be very careful when negotiating valuation caps which are often set too low and effectively penalise you for achieving a realistic valuation in the subsequent funding round. More significantly, a low valuation cap frequently alienates future investors and makes it harder to raise your next round at a sensible valuation. In the US at least, I’d recommend a SAFE (simple agreement for future equity) as a better deal for entrepreneurs.
In pure equity transactions pay particular attention to the liquidation preference. For example, a VC firm invests $10m in return for 25% of total equity. A few years later you achieve an exit at a valuation of $100m. With a 1X liquidation preference, the VC receives $10m (as a loan), plus 25% of the remaining equity ($22.5m). That’s $32.5m for the VC and $67.5m for you. Now imagine a 4X liquidation preference, a far from uncommon occurrence. The VC receives $40m (as a loan) and $15m from the remaining equity. $55m for the VC and $45m for you. Now combine this with a lower exit valuation caused by grandstanding and imagine the consequences. Yes, you could exit with nothing!
To avoid these, and many other pitfalls, I wholeheartedly recommend that you engage with the team at Briars. For me they exemplify the 3-Es possessed by a professional advisor firm: expertise, experience, and ethics.
I wish you all the best on your journey.

The Boston Globe published another propaganda piece for Monica Cannon-Grant in light of the upcoming grand opening of the Social Impact Center in Hyde Park on Monday.
Cannon-Grant published several racist, threatening videos this year in which she can be heard hurling racial slurs and threatening the life of ongressional candidate Rayla Campbell. Here are some of the highlights.

— Stop Monica & Mayor Walsh’s Anti Police Plans (@WalshPlans) February 18, 2020
On Monday she’s opening up her Social Impact Center in the 4,200 square foot building that was given to her by Mayor Marty Walsh with no strings attached. From there she will be spending the massive amount of cash (estimated millions of dollars) to operate her “non-profit” which she never registered with the Attorney General’s Office. Despite the fact that Monica never apologized to Rayla Campbell for threatening to have her murdered and accusing her multiple times of not being black because she “rides white penis,” Mayor Walsh will be in attendance on Monday when it opens.
— Violence In Boston Inc. (@ViolenceNBoston) July 14, 2020
Walsh still has not commented publicly on this, despite extensive coverage from the Boston Herald, the Blaze, and TB Daily News. His silence and participation in this event would seem to indicate approval of the things Cannon-Grant said in those videos. We reached out to Mayor Walsh’s office for comment but have not heard back from them yet. They can be reached at [email protected] if you would like to voice your disapproval.
This is Globe reporter Dialynn Dwyer, who wrote the piece today.
She can be reached at [email protected], or on Twitter here. I’d personally like to know why Dialynn is giving free publicity to a woman who said such racist things about a black woman running for congress. This is a newspaper that legitimized and lionized MCG multiple times, and even published an op-ed she wrote. Yet they haven’t been reported on what this politically connected woman posted publicly about a woman running for Congress.
Here’s part of her story.
Monica Cannon-Grant has been focused on violence prevention work in Boston for more than a decade, but, come Monday, her efforts will officially have a new home with the opening of the Violence In Boston Social Impact Center in Hyde Park.
MCG hasn’t focused on violence prevention at all. Monica threatens violence on other black people routinely. Her son who works for her at Violence in Boston INC is a gang member who makes rap videos glorifying violence in Boston.
Shots fired, hit him in the face
Then leave the scene, we won’t leave a trace
If you mention me raise the murder rate
Wet mop and red tape
Go up to the po(lice), we aim for his back
You n***s is gay, you n***s is fags
How can you work on violence prevention if your adult son who works for you is starring in videos where he threatens to “raise the murder rate,” and shoot you in the face?
The activist and founder of Violence In Boston, Inc., whose protests against racism and white supremacy in Boston in recent years have drawn thousands, told Boston.com she is excited and anxious to get to work helping the community in the new space. It’s humbling, she said, to see the growth and recognition of the work she’s done.
“I’m truly blessed,” Cannon-Grant said. “I’m grateful that so many people believe in the work that Violence In Boston does and believe that we can make a difference. And I’m excited to continue to do this work. I think for me, it’s always been — I’ve done it out of my kitchen. So to now have this amazing facility and be able to do it on a granular level, I’m looking forward to the impact that we’re going to have in our community and documenting that.”
Monica doesn’t prevent violence in Boston, she profits off of it.
She raised almost $10K after a shooting occurred in her housing project by pretending that she was the intended target, and asked people to donate so she could move. But she never ended up moving and pocketed the cash instead.
Now she has plenty of money to hire at least six full time people to paint pictures, on top of the free labor she gets from volunteers.
The new space will feature eight offices, conference rooms, a podcasting and studio space, and an onsite food pantry with toiletry distribution, among other amenities, spread across two floors and 4,200 square feet. Cannon-Grant said the center will have a staff of at least six, salaried positions, with additional support from volunteers.
“We will have healing space, as well as resources for mental health,” she said. “We will provide resources to those who are struggling with their rent and utilities, centered around the completion of a financial literacy course.”
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the grand opening ceremony on Monday is by invitation only, but a livestream of the speaking program will be available online. With the grand opening, Cannon-Grant said she is most looking forward to working with young people in the space. Already, she hired five local, Black artists to come into the center and create murals throughout the space.
She keeps her grift going by victimizing herself as the recipient of death threats, despite the fact that she threatened to have Rayla Campbell’s head blown off.
All the food she gives away is donated, so we still don’t know where all the private and public grant money is going to.
The other effort she’s looking forward to settling in the center is providing food access to the community. Since the start of the pandemic, Cannon-Grant has partnered with Food for the Soul restaurant owner Donnell Singleton to provide free meals to the community.
And in the ultimate twist of irony she’s using her fraudulent non-profit’s Facebook page to complain about police overtime fraud.
Any police officer committing overtime fraud should be fired, but Monica Cannon-Grant is the last person in the world who can criticize others about fraud. She would have no power were it not for The Boston Globe promoting her and Mayor Walsh legitimizing her. They’ve all seen the tape but hope that by not addressing it you will forget about it and move on. But we won’t allow that to happen.

The derma roller does amazing things in improving the appearance and condition of the skin. Did you know that it’s a great tool not only for removing acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines on the face, but also for removing stretch marks on certain parts of the body? Stretch marks are types of body scars. They are caused by several factors such as pregnancy, significant and rapid weight gain or weight loss, hormone fluctuations, certain creams, lotions and medications that cause stretch marks, and illnesses such as Cushing’s syndrome.
What is a derma roller?
The derma roller is a handheld rolling device containing hundreds of microneedles that help in healing and renewing the skin. It is typically used on the face for removing acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, but it is also used on other parts of the body for treating other skin problems such as stretch marks. Unlike other skin care treatment options, the derma roller is a cost-effective way of removing stretch marks and you cannot do that from the comfort of your home.
Removing stretch marks with a derma roller
1. Clean the problem area thoroughly
2. Disinfect the derma roller. Usually, the derma roller comes sterilized, which it should be when packed. Sometimes, you may get a disinfectant as you buy the derma roller at the store. Otherwise, you can use the usual disinfectant options such as 70% isopropyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or a sterile hot water. You can even use denture tablets in disinfecting your roller.
3. Use the derma roller to roll on the skin 6 to 10 times back and forth in one direction, then lift the roller and roll to another area.
4. After rolling, it is good to apply creams and other topical solutions for stretch marks. Collagen-based topical treatments are recommended for after-rolling application. Perhaps ingesting collagen drinks or collagen supplements can also help, although it is doubtful whether they are effective
5. Depending on the size of the needles, or on the instruction manual, a derma roller should not be used more than once a month to avoid damaging the skin too much.
How long does it take for the stretch marks to disappear?
Some derma roller users think that they can see the results already after one treatment, while others claim that they have to wait for a month or two before they can really see the difference. Factors such as the depth of stretch marks, skin type and topical treatments (like collagen, vitamins C and E, and hyaluronic acid) can affect how soon (or how long) should you see the big difference after rolling. If you use natural collagen, there’s a good chance of getting rid of stretch marks sooner than expected. A derma roller is a safe and highly effective device for treating stretch marks, given that you follow the proper instructions, disinfect the device before and after rolling, and avoiding over-rolling.

a brand. Including a map of a nearby location, providing directions, or even creating unique "check in"-based offers are all promising approaches that "make the most of the geographic information that's readily available, without appearing invasive from a privacy standpoint," he says. Brands that offer products and content that depend on variable factors, such as weather, can also include widgets with pertinent updates, though this isn't necessarily something that every brand should employ, Lustberg warns. "There's a fine line between personalization and overkill," he says.
Lustberg also cautions brands against assuming that the mobile email experience is uniform across all devices. "Insert device-specific content into emails depending on the subscriber's particular device or operating system," he recommends, "and be sure to optimize all images." Automatically split-testing images to determine which performs best and drives the strongest response is a must-do, he says.
Harvey Norman, a Lyris customer, is a retailer in the Asia Pacific region, selling large electrical goods, small appliances, computers, and furniture online and in its stores. Founded in 1982, the company now operates more than 180 stores across Australia alone, along with stores in New Zealand, Slovenia, Croatia, Ireland, Singapore, and Malaysia. Though Harvey Norman aimed to consistently deliver robust messages to its customers, the growing number of its email subscribers called for an update to its email approach that would provide better personalization and richer content. For that, the company turned to Lyris.
Lyris tailored Harvey Norman's emails with live content that adapts in real time to customers' location, their time of open, and certain behaviors. If a customer signed up to receive Harvey Norman's emails, for example, the behavior would trigger an initial email, welcoming the customer and offering an exclusive voucher code that was only valid for 48 hours. Some emails also made use of targeting technology to provide Google Maps directions to a store closest to the subscriber's location.
"What's unique about our tools is that the content is personalized based on when a customer opens the email, not when the email is sent," Lustberg explains. "This creates an additional, deeper layer of personalization." Since partnering with Lyris, Harvey Norman has significantly grown its email database. Following the implementation of live content into its emails, Harvey Norman email open rates jumped to three times the industry average.
The rise of responsive design
Delivering dynamic emails is only half of the solution to the challenge of tailoring email marketing to a mobile device, Ted Stites, vice president of strategy and insights at Siteworx, an experience design and Web content management provider, asserts.
"Just because content works on a mobile device doesn't mean that it's doing its job. If a customer clicks on a link in an email but is then taken to a horrible site [she] can't use, then you might as well not have sent the email," Stites says.
"As mobile consumption of emails continues to grow, email marketers need to stop thinking about how to make content designed for the Web fit into a mobile equation and think instead about how to deliver different experiences at different touch points," he adds.
Enter responsive design. The concept of responsive design--the practice of creating digital experiences that adapt to seamlessly deliver content suited to the user's device, operating system, screen size, or orientation--has been around for quite some time. The recent growth of mobile adoption, however, is breathing new life into the approach.
Siteworx creates responsive Web sites using flexible grid systems, with fluid images and CSS3 media queries. On a responsive site, content expands and contracts as necessary to provide an optimal experience at each display size, Stites explains. This enables site architects to design at multiple "break points" to accommodate many different devices at once.
According to Siteworx's philosophy, the key to the success of any responsive site is taking a mobile-first approach to content, since it "forces designers to optimize the most frustrating viewing experiences--a small screen and a slow connection," Stites says. It also enables designers to zero in on what matters most to users, and improves speed by eliminating unnecessary content and images, which can impact the user experience as well as search engine performance.
McGladrey, a U.S. provider of assurance, tax, and consulting services to the middle market in more than 75 cities, has long been delivering content to users, but the company's Web site was lacking in content accessibility, user friendliness, and aesthetic appeal. Looking for a drastic Web site overhaul, the company began working with Siteworx.
"The outdated design made the content feel less relevant, and the silos made it hard for users to access resources," Stites explains. "On a mobile device, using the site was almost impossible." To combat the problems plaguing McGladrey's Web site, Siteworx shifted the focus to visual presentation and created intuitive pathways to content by implementing responsive design.
Because mobile devices are smaller than desktop computers, visual elements play a key role. Big, bold images and concise headlines make content more appealing, for example. "While text-heavy Web sites are an eyesore, text-heavy mobile sites are illegible," Stites says. Siteworx made McGladrey's images and headlines bigger, and eliminated unnecessary text on the homepage and other landing pages. Siteworx also used media queries—a CSS3 coding tool that allows content rendering to adapt to conditions such as screen resolution and sizes--to customize how McGladrey's content would appear on different devices.
Mobile users enjoy accessing content on the go, Stites points out, and want to get to the pages they need as quickly and painlessly as possible. To that end, Siteworx worked to create intuitive pathways to content that included "more robust global navigation to get users to content in fewer clicks," according to Stites. The new design also offers better opportunities to promote related content more easily, he adds.
Using Adobe Marketing Cloud to measure return on investment, McGladrey quickly noticed encouraging results. In just a month, mobile traffic increased by 7 percent, accounting for 13 percent of McGladrey's overall traffic.
Revitalizing Email Marketing
Though mobile technology presents a great deal of opportunity to email marketers, embracing its growth does not have to entail neglecting traditional email marketing strategies. It does, however, signify the need to adapt to changes more effectively. While the new engagement requirements put in place by Google present a major challenge to email marketers, small efforts can make a significant difference. Re-engagement initiatives, for example, can effectively revamp a brand's struggling email campaign.
Kristina Huffman, senior design consultant on the campaign solutions team at ExactTarget, a Salesforce.com company, recommends taking one of several re-engagement routes: the educational message, the subscription reminder, the guilt trip, the

It’s a prom must-have, right up there with the dress and shoes: The guy’s tie must match the girl’s gown. And many teens today use cellphones to aid the color coordination.
Kourtney Ziercher took a picture of her dress in the store to send to her date, Michael George, for her prom last year at Barat Academy in Chesterfield, Mo.
“I told him it was burnt orange, and he got the tie to match,” she said.
“She knew that it was not a typical color, but the tie I got even had a little design on it that matched the design on the dress,” Michael said, referring to a light tiger stripe print on the fabric. “She was really excited about it. The girl’s dress is a big deal. If the outfit doesn’t go perfectly, if the guy isn’t matching, it’s a problem. I made sure it worked.”
In Fort Collins, Colo., Amy Weintraub sent a picture of her chocolate brown dress to her date, Luke Siddens, and he used the image to get a matching tie and vest for their prom last week at Poudre High School.
“I didn’t realize he wanted to match me,” Amy said. “He just kind of decided that on his own. It was a little lighter than the dress, but it matched pretty well.”
For homemade dresses, ties can always be made from leftover fabric. For a 2010 prom at the Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada, Arielle Roberts made her own dress with the help of a grandmother and aunt. Her date’s mom sewed a matching tie “when the green bow-tie and cummerbund she’d ordered for him weren’t quite the right shade,” Arielle said.
But with so many dresses store-bought these days, and with cellphone photos sometimes producing unreliable hues, stores often provide physical swatches to assist in color coordination. David’s Bridal, which expects to sell 110,000 prom dresses this year in 300 stores, sells fabric swatches for $1 with dress purchases.
Sarah LaRue, a senior at Sheldon High School in Eugene, Ore., picked out a dress at the local David’s Bridal and was happy to have the fabric scrap to give her date. “It’s a turquoise blue, and with that dress, you need the exact color to match it,” she said. “If it was even a little bit off, it wouldn’t look right.”
David’s Bridal also has a partnership with Men’s Wearhouse that makes it easy for young men to get accessories in coordinated hues for their dates’ dresses. Guys can order ties, vests and cummerbunds from Men’s Wearhouse using the same terms David’s Bridal uses to identify the dress colors – names like “watermelon pink” or “Malibu blue” – and be guaranteed an ensemble that works.
Amanda Nohrenberg, store manager for David’s Bridal in Eugene, says “90 percent, if not 99 percent” of her prom customers want their dates to match. “If they aren’t coordinating, it’s because the guy is wearing a neutral color like black or white.”
Many couples also plan matching corsages and boutonnieres. “The girls are saying, ‘This is what I’m wearing and I want it to match the flowers,'” said Pennylyn Kaine, owner of Blossom & Bee Floral and Event Design in Newfoundland, N.J.
Sometimes the boys come in “either with their phone picture or a physical swatch, but now what’s happening more often is, the girls are coming in and picking it out in advance,” said Kaine. “They’re actually saying, ‘This is what I want. I’m going to send my boyfriend in and he’s going to pay for it.'”
Kaine, who’s 32, added, “It’s not like when I was in high school and people didn’t care so much. You just got the white mini-spray of roses.”
But sometimes, despite all the planning and purchasing, last-minute improvisations are required.
Sarah Perreault’s date “had been obsessed with making everything perfect” to coordinate with her red dress for the 2010 prom at Brunswick High School in Brunswick, Maine. “We were going to dinner and he had forgotten his pocket square,” she said. “He was so upset. His outfit wasn’t complete. So a girl made him a pocket square out of a napkin, and he wore it the entire night.”
Luckily, the napkin was red.

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit southwest Pakistan Saturday in a region already devastated by a quake which left more than 300 dead just few days ago.
Met office in Pakistan measured the earthquake at 7.2, while the US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded it at 6.8 on the Richter Scale. Tremors were felt in provincial capitals Karachi and Quetta.
Previous Earthquake report:
An earthquake struck Pakistan and India after 4:30 p.m. Pakistan time on Tuesday (7:30 a.m. Eastern). According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake measured 7.8 on the Richter scale and was centered about 145 miles south-southeast of Dalbandin in Balochistan, Pakistan. It was felt throughout the region, including in Karachi and parts of India, including New Delhi.
Numerous homes were reportedly collapsed in Turbat, and the electric supply system in Pasni was also damaged by the earthquake. Over 400 people lost their lives and several houses were destroyed.
Officials in Balochistan declared an emergency in Awaran, which sustained the worst damage in the quake.
Pakistan Earthquake Creates A Fresh ‘Quake Island’
The earthquake on September 24th resulted in the formation of a completely new island near the port of Gwadar, off the southern coast of the country. Local media in Pakistan published a photo of the new island, and the residents flocked to the shore to see the new formation.

|yacc w/ coroutines (reentrant parser)? email@example.com (1996-05-13)|
|From:||firstname.lastname@example.org (Jin Choi)|
|Date:||13 May 1996 14:21:11 -0400|
|Keywords:||yacc, parallel, question|
I have a situation where I would like to parse a file incrementally in
semantic chunks interspersed with processing. It would be a ton of
work to rework things so that the processing could take place as
callbacks from within the parser. Ideally, I would implement the
parser as a coroutine, but this is C++ and a yacc generated parser.
Does anyone know of any tricks to do this sort of thing?
[You might try one of the many software threads packages lying around, one of
them might do the trick. -John]

This is a stretch of around 18 miles that takes in Godrevy and the great curve of St Ives Bay. The heather-clad remoteness of North Cliffs is followed by the extensive dunes of Gwithian Towans as the path slowly leads you to the attractive and bustling town of St Ives.
The village of Portreath is spread along a stream valley that leads away from another popular sandy beach with a prominent stack in the middle of the bay. Another favourite haunt for surfers, the beach can be busy in summer, although both the village and the beach tend to be deserted in winter. A former industrial port serving the copper and tin mining industry, Portreath was also home to an important pilchard fishery. Wooden ships were eventually rejected in favour of the larger steamships that could only use the port at Hayle and today the village depends on tourism and the nearby RAF station for its survival.
The path climbs out of Portreath by way of Western Hill (also called Tregea Hill). Wild flowers dominate in spring and summer. On over Carvannel Downs, home to the dauntingly inaccessible Ralph's Cupboard, about which legends abound. Some link the collapsed sea cave to smugglers, saying the cave was used to store treasure. Others say it was the home of a giant, known as the 'Wrath of Portreath' (possibly corrupted to Ralph), who used to throw rocks at passing boats, steal their treasure and eat their crew. Ralph’s cupboard and several more inaccessible caves along this stretch are used by a colony of grey seals, which can often be seen basking on the rocks at the base of the cliffs.
The footpath tightly hugs the coast, with a few steep ups and downs before the waterfall and stream at Porthcadjack Cove. A little out to sea is the striking Samphire Island, which was farmed for the wild Rock Samphire, a delicacy when pickled in vinegar.
Basset's Cove is named after the Basset family, lords of the manor during the lucrative mining years. The cove was once worked as a stone quarry, with the horse-powered winding gear also being used to raise the wreckage of the many ships that came to grief on this treacherous strip of coastline.
The path follows the beautiful, remote and heather-clad North Cliffs, which offer superb views on the right day. A secluded, sandy beach at Greenbank Cove is followed by the nastily-named Deadman's Cove. The path runs alongside the road for a short while before heading out around a headland. An impressively sheer drop down to Hudder Cove is closely followed by an even more awesome drop down to Hell's Mouth. This is a fact not wasted on the several people who have committed suicide here.
There is a seasonal café at Hell's Mouth, whose proximity to the road makes it a popular haunt for tourists. The geology of the cliffs at Hell's Mouth has led to some interesting caves on the east side, which make a loud booming noise as they fill with surging waves. The waves compress air into cracks and cavities in the rock, causing further erosion. The cove, cliffs and two isolated stacks out to sea are popular breeding grounds for guillemots and razorbills, fulmars and kittiwakes.
On around the cliffs to Fishing Cove, still popular with lobster fishermen, and Smuggler's Cove, where the winding path passes traces of North Cliff mine, where lead was extracted in the mid-19th century. On around a headland known as The Navax, or Knavocks, which, like most of this stretch, is owned and maintained by the National Trust. The Navax is full of wild flowers in summer and heather and gorse in autumn. The headland is sometimes grazed by Shetland ponies, and seals and porpoises can often be seen at the base of the cliffs and out at sea.
On to Godrevy Head, where the National Trust have done much to restore and preserve the natural beauty of the landscape. Seasonal toilets and a couple of low-impact cafes and car parks are all that detract from the magnificent views and sparse but colourful vegetation. A prehistoric burial mound was built here on the highest point, and the headland is also home to some crude earthworks thought to date back to the 16th century, when the threat of the Spanish Armada was ever-present.
Godrevy Island, upon which sits the famous white lighthouse immortalised by Virginia Woolf in her novella, 'To the lighthouse', was the scene of a major shipwreck in 1649, when a ship carrying the garments and relics of the dead King Charles I came to grief. The lighthouse was built in 1859 in response to a public outcry about the number of lives lost at sea.
After Godrevy comes the long curve of St Ives Bay, which has been moulded into shape by long periods of geological erosion and is characterised by a sweep of sandy beach backed by extensive dunes, or Towans, as they are known in Cornwall. The beaches at Godrevy and Gwithian are very popular with surfers and windsurfers and pick up a lot of swell and also wind from the west.
The path continues along the beach or through the dunes until the River Hayle presents an obstruction just before St Uny church in Lelant. Known locally as the red river, a reference to its colour during the days of intensive mining when the waters were stained red by the washings of tin ore, today's river runs clear but adds a few miles to the path. It is necessary to detour inland through Hayle, which has an array of shops and cafes and an excellent ice cream shop and pasty shop. Continuing back to the coast along the opposite bank of the river the path once again reaches the fascinating church of St Uny, this time without a river in the way. Follow along the side of the railway until eventually you meet some steep steps and the road at Carbis Bay. More steps and railway will finally bring you to another residential road. Follow this into the town of St Ives.

The new logo debuted on December 25, 2015 with the single "Crestele Albe".
|Just as the world wouldn't reveal itself in the complex form that we now know if not for the intricate mechanics of nature, we also could not have been who we are today without the strong heritage passed on throughout centuries by our ancestors.
Besides the passion for their people's history, this is perhaps the main reason why GOD, the barbarian folk metal band from Romania - and one of the elders of the country's metal wave - is among the very few who have become keen to celebrating the legacy of their forefathers.
Be it the spirit of the mighty Dacian warriors or the valiance of the nation's great voivods of yore, GOD's music depicts the battle tales and the celebration lore of illustrious historical figures from times of myth and legend.
Comprised of some of the best musicians, all with previous musical activity, the group is currently based in Iaşi, the former capital of the country, and a monument of culture in itself.
From its early beginnings, together with a few other prominent bands, The Horde, as they call themselves, shifted the tectonics of the metal stage. It has also won numerous prestigious awards throughout its constant activity, which crystallized into 5 promo and 4 album releases, with another one currently under development.
During its tumultuous existence, GOD changed musical orientation from the early gothic metal (see first album, "From The Moldavian Ecclesiastic Throne" rated 9 by German RockHard magazine) to one they call 'Barbarian Metal', somewhat similar to that of bands like Finntroll, Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, Arkona or Moonsorrow.
Although never having the chance to meet any of these, the band still had some great openings, playing alongside giants of the musical genre, such as Moonspell, Napalm Death, Belphegor, Eternal Tears Of Sorrow, Agathodaimon and others.
Although the musical style has changed as years passed, the conceptual themes in GOD's music remained the same. They mainly refer to the history and way of life of the Romanian people, from the Dacian people, the great voivods, and nation's great warriors, to the deities they used to worship. All these things are well reflected in the band's gear, clothing, used props (swords, bows, horns) or in the choice of musical instruments, as well as in the energy that characterizes their live performances.
A new album, "Sufletul Neamului", is currently in the works, a material which, along older and more famous of GOD's songs, stands as the core of the band's live shows.
May the heritage carry on!

Work in Progress Wednesday 158
As you might have guessed, I'm still working on my one project, the Elfe sweater in Candy Skein Yummy, Grape Soda and Sugar Snap Pea. As you can see I'm SOOOOOO close to finishing! I would love to be done by Friday (but not blocked, just done with the knitting), but I don't want to put the pressure on myself. If I finish, awesome, if not, that's okay. There's always next week.
I will promise you one thing. Once I finish my large secret project, I will be trying to post here more leading up to the holidays. There are a lot of different subjects I'd love to write/cover on the blog. I hope the first one will be about my secret project. :)
That's it for me today. I hope you all have a great rest of your week.
For those that are new to WIPW, to share your WIPW post with us, just fill out the Mr. Linky below. Despite it saying you must comment, don't feel as if you do. That is something Mr. Linky automatically adds. I just ask you to check out a few of the links posted to see what everyone else is working on and comment there if you can. Everyone loves feedback and a little encouragement on their projects! Also, please link back to this post in your post to get the word out! The more the merrier!
