I’m getting really sick of my own excuses, so you must be getting really sick of them, too.
I feel like I’ve read a ton of posts lately about exercising despite being busy, and I’ve hung my head in shame after reading every one of them. I’m not too busy to work out.
Tina wrote about how she used to work 9-5, take night classes, work part-time and still found time to work out.
Lauren wrote about making herself a morning runner.
Ashley wrote about her seven tips for making working out easier.
I stumbled upon an old post from Emily about a day she coached Girls on the Run before work, went to work, ran 16 miles after work and still made it to happy hour. (Yeah, Emily’s my idol. And I got tired just reading that post.)
The president and First Lady
have make time to work out.
So my excuses? Null and void.
Theodora, STFU and work out. No gimmicks, no challenges, just going to keep working at it and do what I need to do and stop bitching.

cf.: Adaptation Reflex
Why are the terms Sense, Emotion, Thought, and Feeling so often mixed up?
Because they are so tightly inter-related. Some stimulus comes into our awareness through our senses (see, hear, smell, touch, taste). After that, it gets messy, and both thoughts (Neocortex) and emotions (Amigdala) kick in.
|Thoughts (Neocortex) by means of.||Emotions (Amigdala) by means of|
|Often, we become aware of our emotions, which are sensed just like anything else by means of monitoring our own physiology:|
|Through that awareness (thoughts) of our own physiologic state (emotions), we are able to assign words and meaning to label our emotions. Feelings are words that describe our emotional state. Click here for examples of basic feeling words|
|The problem keeping them separate is that the exact same stimulus can produce different emotions based on our thoughts. For example, lets say my boss just walked in…|
I’m about to get chewed out again…
Elevated Heart rate
I just closed a huge deal.
|cf.: Observable Data|
So what difference does it make?
Unless we can increase our awareness of our emotions, in real-time, then they will continue to have a disproportionate impact on our thoughts, and thus our emotions (over which we have little direct control), will end up influencing our actions far more than we are aware.
The purpose and goal in becoming aware of our emotions is so that we can be increase the conscious, deliberate, thoughtful choices we make regarding our actions.

The Audio-Technica ATH-M50x is the crème de la crème in the realm of headphones for guitar amps. These headphones exhibit a closed-back design that offers fantastic isolation from external noise while playing your guitar. Sporting large-aperture 45mm drivers, they’re designed to provide extraordinary clarity throughout an extended frequency range. This ensures you get a deep, accurate bass response, a detailed mid-range, and clear highs that are crucial in capturing the full essence of your guitar’s tonal attributes.
Upon diving deeper into the ATH-M50x’s performance, you’ll notice how they deliver a balanced and accurate sound profile. The frequency response of these headphones ranges from 15Hz to 28kHz, making them perfect for guitarists who play a wide range of genres. This, coupled with an impressive impedance of 38 ohms, makes the ATH-M50x ideal for both low and high-gain guitar amps. Another characteristic worth noting is their high sensitivity (99 dB), meaning they can produce a loud output even with a small amplifier.
In terms of application, the ATH-M50x is incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a professional guitarist recording in the studio or an amateur enthusiast practicing late into the night, these headphones will serve you well. Their circumaural design provides an immersive listening experience, and they also offer one-ear monitoring thanks to the 90-degree swiveling ear cups, which are useful for DJs or live performers.
The ATH-M50x stands out in the market not just due to its excellent sound quality but also because of its user-friendly design and robust build. They come with a detachable cable and a foldable design for easy storage and portability. Made of professional-grade materials, they’re both comfortable for long-term use and durable enough to withstand the rigors of regular gigging or touring.
However, they do have a few minor shortcomings. For one, they might feel a bit tight on larger heads, and their soundstage is quite narrow due to the closed-back design. But overall, considering their price point, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x represents a perfect blend of quality, durability, and versatility, making them an excellent choice for any guitarist looking for the best headphones for guitar amps.
What do we love it for?
- Excellent sound quality with clear bass, mids, and highs
- High sensitivity for a loud output
- Versatile with a 90-degree swiveling design
- Durable build and comfortable for long-term use
What were we disappointed with?
- Might feel tight on larger heads
- The soundstage is quite narrow due to the closed-back design

Graphic design is very much its own art form. The easiest way to describe graphic design is that it is a way of communicating a message using color, shapes and images to get a message across to a target audience. In business, the right graphic design is used to portray an image to entice potential customers to purchase goods and services.
Creating a stunning graphic display will help define your business and show your customers what your business is all about. The use of color and imagery combined with the right text is essential if you want to stand out in the corporate world and not become just another player on the field.
Show Your Individuality
The purpose of a graphic display is to create a memorable image that is easy to identify. What you want is for people to look at the design and immediately associate it with your business. In essence, the display is part of your identity. You can have a designer create a stunning graphic display that is similar to all the other ones in the same business niche, but it would be much better for you to have one created for you that is truly unique. Talk to the designers at Print That Now and we’ll work with you so that you get a graphic display that is as individual as you are and one that stands out from the pack.
Create A Lasting Image
One word no business wants to hear too often is “re-design”. If you look at some of the graphic designs used by the most popular multinational corporations, you’ll notice that they haven’t changed much over the years. Any changes that do appear in their graphics are very subtle so that they are barely noticeable. The heart and soul of the display remain largely the same. Graphic displays generally only need to be completely re-designed because they may have failed to capture an audience.
Create a graphic display that is clearly identifiable to you and your business and you too will only need the occasional subtle change. The best graphic displays are those that last
People Are Drawn To Bright Colors
We are surrounded by color and some attract the eye a lot more than others. Quite often, the brighter the color, the more attention it will attract. Before you go over the top and splash your graphic display with neon shades of pink and green, tone it down a little. The colors you decide to have in your display need to be noticeable without being ostentatious. Otherwise, it can give the impression that your business is all flash and no substance. Aim for tasteful and stylish and you’ll have a winning graphic display.
Call Print That Now for a graphic display that is certain to impress. We can help you design one that is stylish and relevant to your business so that you inspire confidence in your customer base and give your business the image of being a serious contender in your business niche.

Roof Repair and Replacement by Expert Roofing Contractors in Texas & Minnesota
For more information, please Call Us Toll FREE at 1-888-PRO1-123
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense from weather hazards such as wind, rain, fire, snow, hail, and extreme heat. And you may not know it, but it’s also the most vulnerable part of your house. This is why you need the services of our expert roofing contractors in Texas and Minnesota.
Every day, your roof is exposed to the elements that may contribute to decay and deterioration.
Common Signs of a Roof Problem
If it’s been a while since you’ve had your roof inspected, you need to look around and check if there are any obvious signs of damage or deterioration.
- Water stains on the ceiling and unexplained mold: Could be signs of a leak, which is due to a crack or hole in the roof. Unfortunately, leaks are notoriously difficult to locate because water doesn’t necessarily drip straight down. It can travel along the panels in your roof, as well as your attic before dripping into your insulation and leaving spots in your ceiling. Unless you’re trained or have good detective skills when it comes to locating roof leaks, you’ll need the expertise of our roofing contractors in Texas and Minnesota.
- Granules filling the gutters: Your shingles may be deteriorating or reaching the end of their lifespan. It’s normal for granules to come off and collect in the gutters, but if you suddenly notice an excessive amount flowing out of the downspouts every time it rains, you need to examine the roof and see if the shingles are already exposed and look brittle. If they do, you need to have your shingles replaced.
- Loose or missing shingles: The shingles on your roof rely on an overlapping pattern to keep out water, and if loose or missing shingles interrupt this pattern, water may leak inside the house. Loose or missing shingles might mean that you have an animal getting on your roof, and the sealant strip under the shingles may have been damaged. Your shingles could also be really old and have come loose in severe winds.
Regular roof maintenance is necessary to avoid leaks and premature roof replacement. PRO 1 CONSTRUCTION INC.‘s full-service repair department staff has more than 25 years of experience, diagnosing and resolving roofing leaks. Whether it is a typical repair, cosmetic concern or a maintenance issue, we have the solution.
Our standard repair package includes:
- Thorough roof inspection
- Inspecting & resealing all flashing
- Inspecting & repairing all roof penetrations
- Replacing wind damaged shingles (up to 1 bundle)
- Inspecting for major damage from hail, debris, etc.
- Request a roof inspection or repair.

5 Tips to Keep Your Heart in Beating Order
Valentine’s Day is a time where we show love to those we cherish most. Whether it’s a sweet note, a heart-shaped box of chocolates, or sparkling jewelry, the gifts of the holiday are manifold. It’s certainly important to take time to show your admiration for your loved ones—but your physical heart may be pining for something healthy. Here are five tips to take to heart to support your cardiovascular health.
Eat heart healthy foods
The foods you eat affect your entire body’s health, and it’s important to be mindful of the health benefits of the food you consume, however, you may not realize how directly your heart’s health is affected by food choice.
An unhealthy diet increases your risk for cardiovascular diseases and other harmful conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, obesity, and diabetes.
According to the American Heart Association, the following foods and practices are ideal for hearth health:
- Include a wide variety of vegetables and fruits
- Limit sugar and salt
- Choose whole grains instead of highly refined or white grains
- Get protein from plant sources such as legumes, nuts, and seeds, whenever possible
- If including animal products in the diet, try to choose:
- fish and seafood
- lean meats
- low fat or fat-free dairy
- Cook with liquid non-tropical plant oils, such as olive oil
- Limit highly processed foods
- If including alcohol in the diet, try to do so in moderation
For a healthy heart, it’s necessary to move more and sit less. Research has shown that an increase in a sedentary lifestyle, sitting for hours on end, is extremely harmful to your health. The effects of prolonged sedentary time, much like the effects of prolonged use of tobacco products, cannot be reversed by exercise. The adverse effects include chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and many back and neck problems. To begin combatting the effects of sedentary time, it is vital to incorporate changes into your daily routine.
The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise, or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both, preferably spread throughout the week. They also recommend incorporating muscle-strengthening activities, like weights or body weight resistance, at least 2 days per week—increasing your amount and intensity of workouts gradually over time.
Here are a few moderate and vigorous exercises you can try:
- Brisk walking
- Water aerobics
- Jumping rope
Here are some ways to stay physically active throughout the day:
- Alternate between a sitting and standing desk
- Take the stairs
- Have a walking meeting
- Start a stretch routine
- Set reminders on your phone every half hour to get up and get active
Manage your stress
Everyone gets stressed from time to time, and what causes stress for one person may not cause stress for another. We all know that mental and physical health are linked, and this includes your heart health.
Stress can contribute to an unhealthy heart in many ways, including poor health behaviors and harmful body responses like:
- Stopping taking prescribed medications
- Eating unhealthy foods
- Lack of physical activity
- Irregular heart rate and rhythm
- Increased blood pressure
- Reduced blood flow to the heart
Stress management and caring for your mental health is necessary for whole-body health and well-being.
When you’re feeling stressed, try some of these helpful tips:
- Meditation or yoga
- Breathing exercises
- Spending time with loved ones
- Exercise regularly
- Find a stimulating hobby
- Get enough quality sleep
- Practice some self-care techniques
Talk to your provider about your mental health and ways you can manage stress.
Quitting smoking and use of tobacco is one of the most important health decisions a person can make to improve their health. When you quit, your overall health status improves, your life expectancy increases, it reduces the risk for adverse health effects and conditions, and it benefits those already diagnosed with heart disease or COPD.
Talk to your provider about your options for smoking cessation and tobacco use cessation treatments.
Schedule regular health screenings
Getting regular health screenings helps you stay on top of your health status and gives you peace of mind when it comes to your well-being. Many screenings include simple, quick tests that evaluate your heart health, identifying risk factors and reviewing family history.
Preventive care keeps you aware of your overall health. Schedule a health screening with your provider today.
We encourage you to incorporate these heart health tips into your daily routine. Talk to your provider to learn more.

Your colon muscles contract in a synchronized squeeze to force the feces out of your system.. Because alcohol accelerates the rate at which these squeezes are performed, water is not absorbed by your colon at the rate that it would otherwise be. When this happens, your feces will come out as diarrhea, which will usually be quite rapidly and with a lot of excess water in it.
Is Tequila bad for your stomach?
However, even if you do not overindulge in tequila, you may still be experiencing discomfort in the morning. In fact, even if you only consume one glass of tequila every night, your body will be pushed through the mill. The problem is that all alcoholic beverages, including tequila, are harsh on the stomach.
Can alcohol cause diarrhea?
After consuming alcoholic beverages, many people get diarrhea. Discomfort from diarrhea may be accompanied by additional symptoms such as cramping or nausea. Furthermore, some forms of alcohol may be more prone than others to produce diarrhea than other types of alcoholic beverages.
What really happens when you drink tequila every night?
According to scientists, this is exactly what happens to your body when you consume tequila every night for a month. While most individuals will become intoxicated if they consume too many alcoholic beverages — whether they are made with tequila or not — there is such a thing as developing a tolerance to alcohol.
Does Tequila give you a hangover?
The quality of tequila can vary, just as it does with other types of alcoholic beverages. Buying a bottle of Tequila for less than $10 is certainly possible, but it is unlikely to be of superior quality. And, if that’s what you’re drinking every night, you’re almost certain to wake up with a hangover the following morning.
Why do I get diarrhea immediately after drinking alcohol?
Consumption of alcoholic beverages interferes with the natural digestive process, which results in diarrhea following consumption. The use of alcoholic beverages often leads the stomach to create more gastric acid, hence promoting inflammation and irritation. Beer and wine are the most common beverages that have this effect, which might result in diarrhea.
How do I stop diarrhea after drinking alcohol?
If drinking alcohol causes diarrhea, stop drinking or drink only in moderation until the diarrhea subsides. Avoid foods and beverages that include high levels of caffeine, a lot of spices or seasoning, a lot of fat, or dairy products. Instead, consume meals that are easier to digest, such as bananas, eggs, rice, bread, and chicken.
Why does tequila mess my stomach up?
When you drink alcohol, you are more likely to have acid reflux, which is the backward flow of acid from your stomach into your esophagus and causes heartburn. According to some research, alcoholic beverages might cause your stomach to create more acid than usual, which can progressively erode away your stomach lining, causing it to become irritated and uncomfortable over time (gastritis).
What are the first signs of liver damage from alcohol?
In general, symptoms of alcoholic liver disease include stomach discomfort and soreness, dry mouth and increased thirst, exhaustion, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin), nausea, and vomiting. It is possible that your skin seems unnaturally dark or light. It is possible that your feet or hands could seem red.
Why is diarrhea explosive?
When the rectum fills with more liquid and gas than it can handle, it is known as explosive diarrhea. Because of the releasing gas, passing the stool can be rather noisy. Diarrhea is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as passing three or more liquid or loose stools in a 24-hour period.
How long does it take for alcohol to exit the body?
Because it takes one hour for each unit of alcohol to leave your body, if you consume eight pints of average strength beer and stop drinking at midnight, the alcohol will not be completely eliminated from your system (and you will be unable to drive) until around 4 pm the following day.
What are signs that your liver is struggling?
- Symptoms include yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
- And fatigue.
- Pain and swelling in the abdomen
- An increase in the size of the legs and ankles.
- Skin that is itchy
- Urine with a dark color
- The hue of the stool is light.
- Fatigue that persists for an extended period of time
- A feeling of nausea or vomiting
Can the liver repair itself after years of drinking?
The liver is a very durable organ that is capable of self-regeneration. Approximately one-third of the liver cells die each time your liver filters alcohol. The liver has the potential to repair cells, but continuous alcohol abuse (drinking too much alcohol over a lengthy period of time) might impair this function over time.
What does 3 weeks without alcohol do to your body?
After three to four weeks of not drinking, your blood pressure will begin to drop naturally. Lowering your blood pressure can be quite important since it can assist to reduce the likelihood of developing health problems in the future.

Make things a little more enjoyable. The sugar in tomato juice is naturally there, but if you want to make your drink a bit sweeter, adding a little more sugar is a fantastic place to start.
How do you drink a tomato and tequila cocktail?
When you drink it, you take a sip of the tequila, followed by a sip of the lime juice, and then a sip of the tomato juice to finish it off. The whole meal comes together rather beautifully, and it’s something I found myself wanting to get more than once in the future.
What are the different ways of serving tequila in Mexico?
In Mexico, this is a common and traditional method of pouring tequila. When it comes to the Mexican flag, bandera is Spanish for ″flag,″ and the Bandera de México is of course made up of three colors: lime juice (for the green), blanco tequila (for the white), and Sangrita (for the red) (red).
What is in a 3 shot Margarita?
This cocktail, which is inspired by the colors of the Mexican flag, is served in three shot glasses, each of which contains tequila (in white), fresh lime juice (in green), and sangrita (in red), a fiery tomato-based chaser. Each dish calls for 1 ounce of tequila, 1 ounce of lime juice, and 1 ounce of sangrita.
What is spicy tequila and how do you drink it?
It is a simple blend of juices and spices that is meant to be taken alongside your tequila, alternating sips and clearing and brightening the palate as you drink — neither should be ″shot″ in one go. It is little-known in the United States since it contains no alcohol.
What is the best juice to mix tequila with?
As a result of its forceful sweet tart flavor, pineapple juice makes for an excellent tequila mixer. When combined with the tequila, which lends a fiery sting to the finish of each drink, it works well.
How do you make a tequila shot at home?
Take a Tequila Shot the Right Way
- The first step is to lick the salt. Prepare the salt by licking the portion of your palm where your thumb meets your index finger (or, if you’re feeling fancy, throw a dash of water on it from your cup) before adding it to your dish.
- Step Two: Take a shot of Tequila. Time to get the tequila out of the bottle
- The third step is to suffocate on lime.
What do Mexicans sip with tequila?
To drink Tequila the way the Mexicans do, keep things simple by sipping it straight from a caballito (camel’s head). If you like, you can suck on a wedge of lime that has been dipped in salt between swallows of the drink.
How do you do a Mexican tequila shot?
To correctly prepare a shot of tequila (also known as tequila cruda), you’ll need three ingredients: salt, lime, and tequila, all of which must be consumed in a certain order. ″Lick, shoot, suck,″ as the saying goes: lick the salt off your palm first, then drink the shot quickly, followed by sucking on a wedge of lime to finish.″
Is tequila a healthy alcohol?
Tequila may be a better alternative than certain other forms of alcohol since it includes less calories, no sugar, and no carbs, compared to other types of alcohol. Drinking any amount of alcohol, on the other hand, can raise the chance of acquiring a variety of health concerns.
How many shots of tequila will get you drunk?
When it comes to getting drunk on tequila, how many shots does it usually take? The average individual would get somewhat intoxicated after two shots of tequila, moderately intoxicated after four shots, and very intoxicated after five shots. Of course, this is greatly dependent on a variety of circumstances, including weight, mood, age, and even tolerance to alcohol.
Does salt make alcohol stronger?
Stay away from beverages that are high in sodium. According to Dr. Holsworth, salt aids in the faster absorption of alcohol by the body’s cells. This is due to the fact that when you drink big amounts of salt, the aperture at the bottom of your stomach that feeds into your small intestine — known as the duodenal sphincter — gets wider.
Is tequila stronger than vodka?
When it comes to the subject of whether tequila is stronger than vodka, the answer is that it really depends. When faced with a challenging situation, no one spirit is inevitably stronger than another spirit. Tequila and vodka will have the same strength for the most part, as 40 percent ABV (or 80 proof) is the acknowledged benchmark for the vast majority of spirits in the market today.
What is the number 1 tequila in Mexico?
1. El Jimador (the thief). Despite the fact that El Jimador is one of the most affordable brands on the market, all of its tequilas are made with 100 percent agave. The tequila is also the best-selling tequila in Mexico at the moment.
Do Mexicans drink tequila straight?
It is customary in Mexico to consume tequila neat, which is without the addition of lime or salt. In certain locations, good tequila is served with a side of sangrita, a sweet, sour, and spicy cocktail commonly created from orange juice, grenadine (or tomato juice), and fiery chilli peppers, among other ingredients.
Can tequila burn?
Most people connect tequila with a hot burn in the throat, although the sensation may occur with any type of drink, including wine and beer. In fact, the higher the percentage of alcohol in the blood, the more intense the burning feeling.
Can you sip tequila?
Drinking Tequila on its Own is a bad idea. There are many people who believe that the greatest way to consume tequila is to sip it neat, without any other ingredients. In this case, you can have your tequila chilled, on the rocks (with ice), or straight up, but most people like it cold. The addition of salt and lime should only be reserved for shot orders.
What kind of salt do you use for tequila shots?
When it comes to tequila shots, what is the best salt to use? Put a pinch of kosher salt, or sea salt, on the tip of your index or middle finger. In this recipe, there is one-half ounce of tequila included. A slice of lime or lemon is recommended.
Why is there a worm in tequila?
So, what is the significance of the worm in mezcal? It wasn’t until the 1950s that larvae began appearing in mezcal bottles, when a mezcal manufacturer discovered a moth larva in a batch of his whiskey and decided that having the stowaway in his bottle increased the flavor of the booze. As part of his marketing approach, he began including ″worms″ in all of his bottles.
What drinks do you mix with tequila?
- Juice of grapefruit. Possibly you’ve heard of the venerable Paloma?
- Ginger Beer is a refreshing beverage. As a result, when you hear the phrase ″ginger beer,″ your thoughts may quickly turn to the Moscow Mule.
- Milk. Tomato juice, celery juice, agave syrup, orange juice, cream of coconut, tsipouro, egg (or egg white), and a pinch of salt
- Celery juice, tomato juice, agave syrup, orange juice, tsipouro
Is tomato juice a sweet drink or a savory drink?
Don’t bother with the tomato juice.Remove the celery salt from the table.If you can get past the Bloody Mary, you’ll discover a new universe of delicious drinks that are just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.The components for savory cocktails include vegetables and salt, as well as savory spirits such as aquavit, gin, and sherry.Savory drinks may also be created using savory spirits such as aquavit, gin, and sherry.Smoky spirits, such as mezcal and certain Scotches, can also enhance the flavor of a dish.
What drinks are in Tequila?
Tequila cocktails come in a variety of flavors and are a lot of fun to experiment with. You may make your own version of the classic margarita or choose from a number of flavors, including strawberry and tamarind. There are also tall, cool tequila mixed drinks, slow-sipping varieties of well-known whiskey and vodka cocktails, and enticing spicy cocktails to choose from as well.

What You Need to Know About a Sportsbook
If you like gambling, you’ve probably heard of a sportsbook. These online betting establishments accept wagers on various sports events. The odds on these bets tend to be better than at land-based casinos, and they offer a wide range of betting options. In some states, it’s even legal to play at an offshore sportsbook. Below is some information about each one. Read on to learn more about these online sportsbooks.
Offshore sportsbooks are legal in some states
Offshore sportsbooks are legal in some states, but not all. The PASPA bill effectively froze state-authorized sports betting in the U.S. Nevada is the only state to have full-fledged legal sports betting, and that state alone handles more than $5 billion in annual betting. In comparison, illegal sportsbooks and offshore sportsbooks handle around $150 billion annually. If New Jersey were to legalize sports betting, the state would see a significant boost in tax revenue.
They have high limits
Credit cards with high limits can come in handy when you need to spend a lot of money without having to worry about cash up front. Some credit cards state a maximum credit line, while others evaluate each application on its own basis. We’ve done the hard work to find the best high-limit credit cards available and have rated each according to criteria like credit limit, rewards, and qualification. Read on to learn more about the benefits of high-limit cards.
They accept a wide variety of bets
The user interface of a sportsbook is a very important factor. You want to find a site that allows you to search for and place bets easily, and deposit and withdraw funds in your preferred currency. If possible, you should also find a site that provides customer support in English, so you can communicate with its representatives easily. You can find a lot of online sports betting sites, but they aren’t all made equally. Read reviews of a few of them and decide which one suits your betting style and needs best.
They have a user-friendly interface
The best online sportsbooks are designed with the mobile user in mind. While they may not be as easy to navigate as some of the mobile apps out there, they are still very good, thanks to a mobile-first approach to website design. Mobile-friendly websites are not only easy to navigate, but also work great for desktop users. However, it’s important to consider mobile compatibility, as many users of sportsbooks will sign in using their mobile devices. A sportsbook that isn’t mobile-friendly can be frustrating.

With so much riding on our online reputations, it comes as no surprise that people are looking for ways to clean up their digital footprint. Step in BrandYourself.com; a New York-based firm that recently secured funding from Peter Jones on Dragon's Den, aims to help people quickly and efficiently clean up their public image.
Helping you clean up your image
Your digital footprint tells a story about who you are. It is a publicly available record of your history and it pulls no punches. Your online persona or "brand" is extremely important, and it can easily advance your career options.
On the other hand, your digital footprint can severely damage your reputation. One poorly chosen social media comment here, or a concerning photograph there, could be enough to cost you a valuable opportunity.
Of course, there is always the option to delete all your social media accounts. Sadly, this could actually backfire. Nowadays, colleges, universities, and employers all analyze people’s social media presence to gain insights. No social media presence is actually considered a red flag.
The BrandYourself service plays directly into people's desires to exert more control over their data. And, by the looks of it, it is already winning consumers over. Last year alone it turned over more than $4 million and it has already been through a series of investments that demonstrate the popularity of its concept.
Speaking about the service Patrick Ambron CEO and co-founder of BrandYourself told ProPrivacy.com:
“From a mission standpoint, our goal is to help people with their privacy and reputation online. You can’t avoid having an online presence, because even if you actively avoid it other people are tagging you - you have one - and you kind of need one to live in today’s modern world. That opens you up to reputation and privacy issues, and that’s not a good thing in our eyes and we are trying to help people with it.”
So, how does BrandYourself work?
First, the firm’s technology scours the net and identifies “risk factors” that could be damaging its users' reputation. Next, it walks them through the process of finding and deleting inappropriate photos, social media entries, blog posts, articles - and other negative online media - that could potentially harm their public image.
On the surface, the idea of helping people to clean up their digital footprint appears to be a noble cause. The big question, however, is whether investors are flocking to the service on merit alone? Or whether BrandYourself.com has a more sinister, hidden rationale, that is causing investors to rub their hands together?
Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. are all considered invasive enough on their own - so what happens when you ask a service to analyze them all? The simple answer is that BrandYourself could easily be gaining a powerful insight into its subscribers. BrandYourself could use that data to make staggeringly detailed secondary inferences, as is the case with Facebook.
“BrandYourself collects Personal Information regarding its current, prospective, and former clients, customers, users, visitors, and guests.”
Section 3.1 of the policy suggests that even if subscribers stop paying for the service, BrandYourself could continue to retain (and process) their data. A closer look at the policy appears to reveal why...
BrandYourself gives itself permission to collect a huge amount of personal data from its users. This includes information about their (IP) address, cookie identifiers, ISP or mobile carrier, mobile advertising identifiers, MAC address, IMEI, Advertiser ID, geolocation information, hardware type, operating system, Internet service provider, and “other device identifiers and features that are automatically assigned to your computer or device when you access the Internet."
That is a massive treasure trove of data, that, alongside everything else it learns about subscribers, could easily be used to create a revenue stream (via advertising, marketing, and selling the data). The policy suggests that it might indeed use data in this way:
“BrandYourself may use Personal Information to provide you with materials about offers, products, and Services that may be of interest, including new content or Services. BrandYourself may provide you with these materials by phone, postal mail, facsimile, or email, as permitted by applicable law. Such uses include:
To tailor content, advertisements, and offers
To notify you about offers, products, and services that may be of interest to you
To provide Services to you and our sponsors”
Now consider that a number of the venture capital firms that have already invested in BrandYourself have existing links to advertising, marketing, data processing and analysis, medical data analysis and many other tech-related industries that stand to profit from people's personal data.
As if that wasn’t enough, BrandYourself gives itself permission to analyze people’s “private messages.” It also informs users that they must agree to have their intellectual property stolen:
“You agree that BrandYourself is free to use the content of any communications submitted by you via the Services, including any ideas, inventions, concepts, techniques, or know-how disclosed therein, for any purpose including developing, manufacturing, and/or marketing goods or Services."
Add all of that to section 6.1 of the Terms of Service, and it becomes pretty obvious that there is cause for concern:
“Your License to BrandYourself
As between you and BrandYourself, you own the content and information that you submit or post to the Services and you are only granting BrandYourself and our affiliates the following non-exclusive license: a worldwide, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process, information and content that you provide through our Services, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others.”
What the firm had to say
“We’ve been around since 2009 and we haven’t and never will monetize data as long as I am CEO. [...] The only revenue stream we’ve ever had is the subscription model.”
Despite these frank comments, Ambron urged me to remember that the data BrandYourself accesses is only data that has already been posted elsewhere. This, he feels, makes it less valuable. As to why the policy is so broad? Ambron told me:
"The legal standpoint of why our policy was written so broadly is to just cover any sort of case if someone claims that we technically broke their privacy thing litigiously.”
Beware the gatekeeper
On the other hand, it seems to us that the best way to clear up your online history is to go ahead and do it yourself. Doing this limits the points of contact that are granted access to your personal data, information, and photos.
BrandYourself may seem like an excellent method for discovering things about yourself online. However, in reality, it just searches the first three pages of Google and asks you to pay for it to search through all your accounts.
Letting yet another company learn massive amounts of information about you and giving it permission to process, retain, and profit from that data - seems counterintuitive to the intended desire for improved digital privacy.
Following our conversation Patrick Ambron reached out to me with the following statement:

K-3D Serial Key Online
For those who don’t know, 3D design, animation and painting have become quite common nowadays. This is mainly because of the number of different software that are available to users. K-3D is one of those software, using which the user can create animations, 3D models, and much more.
This software is compatible with GNU, Linux, Posix, Win32, MacOSX and Solaris. It might be unstable on some software, but on others it works pretty well. The user would be able to create new tutorials, record and share them with a community of their choice.
For example, if you want to teach someone how to make a character using a 3D software, then this is the perfect tool for it. The tutorial can be interactive, using the tools of the software.
If someone wants to edit their documents, and create texture mapped views, then K-3D has tools available to accomplish these objectives. Imagine creating appealing documents, which people don’t put aside and actually go through.
In terms of modeling, there are many features that the software offers. The user can create powerful scene graph, with the help of Procedural Modeling; it will give the user complete modeling history as well. You will be able to select multiple tools in this software like objects, meshes, edges, curve and points. The user can create 3D primitives like circle, cushion, cylinder, paraboloid, and tours. These shapes can be created without any hassle or delay.
As for animation, the user can animate any value they want to. There are many animation channels that the user can benefit from including Bezier curve channels. The software helps the user in animating modeling operations, and scripting. They can create scripts for Python engine and other plugins.
This is open source license software, which means that it is free for everyone. Moreover, those who want to can easily download it from the link and use it in any way they want to. Those who have already used K-3D, they were unable to use it on MacOS, because it didn’t run very stably.
However, when they ran it on other compatible platforms, it ran efficiently. To make things better for this software, and to increase the number of downloads, the developers need to update this frequently. The developers also need to create a tutorial for downloading the software and then using it, because some users were unable to figure out how to use it.
This tool is the best 3D tool for creating interactive tutorials. The user would be able to explain things better to anyone they want to, by creating videos and using 3D primitives. There are different geometry type shapes available in this tool, so that users can make better 3D pictures. Download this software, and use it to the fullest!

What’s old is new again, with researchers seeing a threefold increase in malware distributed through USB drives in the first half of 2023
A new report by Mandiant outlines how two USB-delivered malware campaigns have been observed this year; one named ‘Sogu,’ attributed to a Chinese espionage threat group ‘TEMP.HEX,’ and another named ‘Snowydrive,’ attributed to UNC4698, which targets oil and gas firms in Asia.
Also, in January 2023, Palo Alto Network’s Unit 42 team uncovered a PlugX variant that could hide in USB drives and infect Windows hosts they’re connected to.
Previously, in November 2022, the cybersecurity company highlighted a China- nexus campaign leveraging USB devices to infect entities in the Philippines with four distinct malware families.
Mandiant reports that Sogu is currently the most aggressive USB-assisted cyber- espionage campaign, targeting many industries worldwide and attempting to steal data from infected computers.
The victims of Sogu malware are located in the United States, France, the UK, Italy, Poland, Austria, Australia, Switzerland, China, Japan, Ukraine, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Most victims belong to the pharmaceutical, IT, energy, communications, health, and logistics sectors, but there are victims across the board.
Sogu establishes persistence by creating a registry Run key and uses Windows Task Scheduler to ensure it runs regularly.
Next, the malware drops a batch file onto ‘RECYCLE.BIN’ that helps with system reconnaissance, scanning the infected machine for MS Office documents, PDFs, and other text files that may contain valuable data.
The payload, called ‘Korplug,’ loads C shellcode (Sogu) into memory via DLL order hijacking, which requires tricking the victim into executing a legitimate file.
Files found by Sogu are copied to two directories, one on the host’s C:\ drive and one on the working directory on the flash drive, and encrypted using base64.
The document files are eventually exfiltrated to the C2 server over TCP or UDP, using HTTP or HTTPS requests.
Sogu also supports command execution, file execution, remote desktop, snapping screenshots from the infected computer, setting up a reverse shell, or performing keylogging.
Any drives connected to the infected system will automatically receive a copy of Sogu’s initial compromise file set to allow lateral movement.
Snowydrive is a campaign that infects computers with a backdoor allowing the attackers to execute arbitrary payloads through the Windows command prompt, modify the registry, and perform file and directory actions.
In this case, too, the victim is tricked into launching a legitimate-appearing executable on a USB drive, which triggers the extraction and execution of the malware’s components that lie in a ‘Kaspersky’ folder.
The components undertake specific roles such as establishing persistence on the breached system, evading detection, dropping a backdoor, and ensuring malware propagation through newly connected USB drives.
Snowydrive is a shellcode-based backdoor that is loaded into the process of ‘CUZ.exe,’ which is a legitimate archive unzip software.
The backdoor supports many commands that allow file operations, data exfiltration, reverse shell, command execution, and reconnaissance.
For evasion, the malware uses a malicious DLL side-loaded by ‘GUP.exe,’ a legitimate Notepad++ updater, to hide file extensions and specific files marked with “system” or “hidden.”
USB-based attacks to continue
While USB attacks require physical access to the target computers to achieve infection, they have unique advantages that keep them both relevant and trending in 2023, as Mandiant reports.
The advantages include bypassing security mechanisms, stealth, initial access to corporate networks, and the ability to infect air-gapped systems isolated from unsecured networks for security reasons.
Mandiant’s investigation point to print shops and hotels as infection hotspots for USB malware.
Still, considering the random, opportunistic spread of these backdoors, any system with a USB port could be a target.

Founded in 2020, Oxidane invests in the intersection between water and high technology. Together they build pioneering companies of tomorrow. Proxy created a name that perfectly captures the intersection of water and technology. Proxy is one of few specialised brand naming practices in Europe.
When Oxidane set out in 2020, the company required a sharp focus and a strong brand to stand out among the many technology investors in the Nordics. Speaking at length with the team, and looking at their investment pipeline, we concluded that water is the perfect focus for the brand and name.
The company backs driven, experienced entrepreneurs addressing the biggest ocean megatrends with high technology. Water seemed like a differentiated focus among the many sustainability focused investors — and a focus incredibly relevant for Norgwegians, who have a millennia of history in making the most out of water around them.
The Naming Process
At Proxy, our approach to brand naming involves establishing storytelling and phonetic goals. For Oxidane, we started to search the name using the following springboards :
- Water: We wanted the name to have a strong association with water, to differentiate from the many sustainability-focused investors
- Technology: It was essential that the name was a good fit for a company focused on high technology
We created a long list of dozens of names. The shortlisted names were then thoroughly researched and scored, and uniquely we recommended a single name - Oxidane.
The Naming Decision
Several factors led us to recommend ‘Oxidane:
- Water: The chemical name for water is ‘oxidane’.
- Technology: The letter ‘X’ alludes to technological advancement.
- Science: The literal interpretation, ‘binary hydrogen compound’, beautifully combines oxide and ane.
- Intersection: The interplay of soft and hard syllables in 'o-xi-dane' mirrors Oxidane's fusion of water and technology.
- Distinction: Oxidane was widely available within the category, including the domain www.oxidane.vc.
Rolling it out
Post-name selection, we crafted a comprehensive brand identity system reflecting the synergy of water and technology. Today, Oxidane's team and board offer an ocean of experience in various domains, from finance and marketing to seafood and tech. The result is a vast network of innovators and investors steering the future of ocean-related technologies.
Proxy enjoys a trusted partnership with Oxidane, creating brand names and identities for many of its portfolio companies as well.

Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the answer of 6 March 2001, Official Report, column 202W, on dancing schools, what is his estimate of the number of voluntary dance classes; how much financial assistance is provided for these classes; what his estimate is of the number of Irish dancing schools provided by the voluntary sector; and how much financial assistance is provided for these schools.
Mr. Alan Howarth: Dance classes are provided through a diverse range of public, privately-funded, and voluntary provision. Because of this diversity, an assessment of the number of voluntary dance classes would prove a significant undertaking. The Voluntary Arts Network advises that there is anecdotal information on provision of voluntary dance classes, but that a comprehensive and thorough assessment is not available based on current information. The Foundation for
15 Mar 2001 : Column: 709W
Community Dance, the national development agency for community dance, recently undertook a mapping exercise to establish the range of participation in dance provided by the funded sector across England. This excluded local private dance schools, organisations specifically catering for recreational dance forms (including Ceroc) and dance opportunities offered by the commercial sector. However, sources include: local authorities (significant), European funds, the Single Regeneration Budget, the Health Service, Regional Arts Boards, Lottery, trusts and foundations. Private, commercial and voluntary provision is also significant.
Mr. Martlew: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the response of his Department and its tourism-sponsored bodies to the foot and mouth disease outbreak.
Mr. Chris Smith: I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for East Surrey (Mr. Ainsworth) on 14 March 2001, Official Report, columns 1021-36. My Department has, together with the British Tourist Authority and the English Tourist Council, issued guidance to the public, to prospective visitors from overseas and the tourism industry on the implications of the disease. The British Tourist Authority is rebutting misleading stories overseas which are confusing this outbreak with BSE. The English Tourism Council is consulting with the industry on how tourism businesses can best cope with and recover from the effects of the outbreak and local tourism information offices are giving out information on destinations that remain open, such as our wealth of museums and galleries and historic towns. My Department is keeping the consequential implications for tourism under close review and I shall be visiting Cumbria this weekend to see those implications for myself, following the visit of the Minister for Tourism, Film and Broadcasting to Devon on 14 March.
Mr. William Ross: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on recent outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in other member states; and if he will make a statement.
Ms Quin: The Ministry is in constant contact with other member states and the European Commission. Animal disease issues are discussed regularly at the Standing Veterinary Committee in Brussels. My right hon. Friend the Minister will be discussing the situation with EU counterparts at the Agriculture Council on 19 March.
Ms Quin: A detailed epidemiological investigation is being conducted into every confirmed outbreak of foot and mouth disease. The results of these investigations will be published. An assessment will be made of the lessons
15 Mar 2001 : Column: 710W
to be learned from the original cause of the outbreak and the factors that are contributing towards the spread of the disease in order to inform future policy.
Mr. Martyn Jones: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has carried out an assessment of the risk due to BSE infectivity from burning cattle during the present outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
Mr. Nick Brown: An independent risk assessment from DNV Consulting which I commissioned is today being published on the MAFF Foot and Mouth Disease internet site. Copies have also been placed in the Libraries of the House.
The model used by DNV estimates that a pyre of 100 dairy cattle aged over five years old could result in a total of 7 X 10h 4 infective units being ingested by those exposed. This would be spread over a fairly wide population and so the individual risk of exposure would be low. For example, if the infective units were spread over 1,000 people the individual risk would be 7 X 10h 7 infective units per person, in other words less than one in a million.
The recommendation of the Environment Agency is that there need not be any immediate change to carcase burning activities. The assessment will, however, be taken into account in guidance to Agency staff on factors to take into account if they are asked to permit sites for carcase burning.
This advice has come at a time when, in view mainly of practical considerations, I have decided to increase the disposal by rendering, in addition to on-farm burning, of carcases from FMD infected farms and dangerous contact premises.
|Home fed production||706|
(29) Dressed carcase weight equivalent
(30) Total domestic use; home fed production plus imports less exports net of stock change
Mr. Luff: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the animal welfare implications for cattle, sheep and pigs that are not displaying symptoms of foot and mouth disease, of movement restrictions between adjacent areas of farm land owned or farmed by the same farmer; and if he will make a statement.
15 Mar 2001 : Column: 711W
Mr. Morley [holding answers 8 and 12 March 2001]: We are aware of serious and growing animal welfare problems as a consequence of movement restrictions imposed following the foot and mouth outbreak. Two schemes were therefore announced on 9 March in order to address these problems.
The occupational licence permits a farmer to make repeat movements of foot and mouth disease susceptible livestock for a distance of up to 0.5 km on land of which he is the sole occupant. Such licences are available in the controlled area and in the infected area. Movements are not permitted within 3 km of an infected place.
Mr. Steen: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) if he will withdraw the Schedule D notice served on the Madron Meat Abattoir in Penzance and reinstate the grant of approval from the Meat Hygiene Service;
Ms Quin [holding answer 12 March 2001]: Restrictions were imposed on Madron Meat Abattoir while the State Veterinary Service investigated a suspected case of foot and mouth disease which occurred within 3 kilometres of the abattoir. The restrictions were removed on 11 March after it was revealed that the animals involved were not affected by foot and mouth.
Responsibility for licensing the movement of animals to slaughter lies with local authorities. Mr. Stockwell should therefore contact Devon County Council regarding the proposed movement of his pigs to slaughter.

The Minister for the Middle East (Dr. Kim Howells): The Government have committed themselves to informing Parliament on an annual basis of the sanctions regimes being implemented by the United Kingdom. Currently the United Kingdom implements mandatory United Nations sanctions, imposed by the UN Security Council acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, in relation to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, Côte d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Sudan and Somalia. The UK also implements sanctions regimes imposed autonomously by the EU in relation to Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burma, China, the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (in connection with individuals indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia), Moldova, Sudan and Zimbabwe. In accordance with a decision of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the United Kingdom implements arms embargoes on Armenia and Azerbaijan. The Government also take full account of the Economic Community of West African States moratorium on certain exports of small arms and light weapons to the Economic Community of West African States members. A full list of sanctions regimes and restrictive measures implemented by the UK has been published on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website at: www.fco.gov.uk/sanctions.
The Minister for the Middle East (Dr. Kim Howells): With the support of Her Majesty's Government, the United Nations Security Council on 31 October 2005 adopted UNSCR 1636 (2005) which calls on Syria to comply with the UN International Independent Investigation Commission inquiry into events surrounding the assassination of the former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Rafiq Hariri.
UNSCR 1636 (2005) warns Syria that if it does not co-operate with the UN inquiry then the Security Council will consider what further action is appropriate. The resolution also establishes sanctions against individuals suspected of involvement in the planning, sponsoring, organisation or perpetration of the assassination. The individual sanctions imposed comprise an assets freeze and a travel ban, with individuals being proposed by the UN Commission or Lebanese Government with the agreement of a UN Sanctions Committee established by UNSCR 1636 (2005). The Sanctions Committee will also be responsible for making decisions on permissible exemptions to the application of the individual measures. Such exemptions are defined by the resolution as including travel for
8 Nov 2005 : Column 10WS
humanitarian purposes (including in connection with religious obligation) and funds for basic expenses such as medical treatment, food and accommodation.
The measures will remain in place until the Sanctions Committee reports to the Security Council that all investigative and judicial proceedings relating to the assassination have been completed, unless the Security Council decides otherwise.
The Minister of State, Department of Health (Jane Kennedy): In August 2003, the Department consulted on a package of proposals to reform the regulatory system governing national health service community pharmacy services. It also put forward possible options for further reform which, if pursued, would require primary legislation. When announcing the programme to implement the reforms in autumn 2004, Ministers said they would consider introducing new primary legislation:
(b) to allow NHS primary care trusts to take into account, when assessing applications, the improvements they would bring to the provision of, or access to, over-the-counter medicines and other healthcare products.
These proposals are included in the Health Bill published on 27 October 2005. In relation to the second proposal, this will only apply where a primary care trust is assessing competing applications together.
The Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Nationality (Mr. Tony McNulty): Section 36 of the Immigration and Asylum (treatment of claimants etc) Act 2004 allows for the electronic monitoring of those liable to be detained under the Immigration Acts. This includes asylum seekers, illegal entrants, those found working in breach of their conditions of stay, overstayers, people subject to further examination at a port of entry, and those refused leave to enter.
Electronic monitoring takes three forms: telephone reporting using voice recognition techniques, tagging and tracking. These are being used, in combination with face to face contact at immigration reporting centres, to improve compliance with the requirements we place on people to remain in contact with us. Contact Management, including electronic monitoring is a key aspect of the New Asylum Model as described in the five year plan.
8 Nov 2005 : Column 11WS
During the passage of the 2004 Act, the then Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, my right hon. Friend the Member for Stretford and Urmston (Beverley Hughes) stated that an electronic monitoring requirement would be imposed only with the consent of the individual. This commitment was re-iterated when her successor my right hon. Friend the Member for Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Mr. Browne) wrote to the Joint Committee on Human Rights. Consent is not a statutory requirement but was introduced as a matter of policy in recognition of the novel use of electronic monitoring in the immigration context.
The electronic monitoring pilots have generally been a success, but asking for the subject's consent is inconsistent with any other area of contact management. It hampered our ability to manage contact with people flexibly because the need for consent left us with very little recourse if the individual failed to give it or where, having initially agreed to be monitored electronically, they subsequently failed to comply. That is why I agreed a change in the policy before the summer recess to allow the Immigration Service to draw up contact management plans without first seeking the consent of the individual. The consideration of whether the individual will comply with specific requirements will be part of the process of deciding how best to manage contact and this change places us in a stronger position by enabling us to consider what action to take where someone fails to comply with an electronic monitoring requirements.
The impact on compliance in the short period since the change in policy has been positive. Between July and September of 53 people who failed initially to comply with telephone reporting, 47 began to do so after one written warning that their continued failure may lead to their re-detention. Since the start of the pilot in October 2004, we have tagged 49 people, 23 of them since the policy on consent was changed, but we have seen no adverse impact on the level of compliance notwithstanding that we have tagged a larger proportion of high risk cases without seeking their consent.
This is a promising start, but we shall continue to monitor the situation as electronic tagging is applied in increasing numbers. I will update the House on the progress we are making in a further statement early in the New Year.
The Secretary of State for International Development (Hilary Benn): Excellent progress has been made on implementing the two key commitments on debt relief made by G8 leaders at the Gleneagles summit in July. In addition, the UK has granted further bilateral debt relief over the summer, and I take this opportunity to provide an update on the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.
At Gleneagles, the G8 proposed 100 per cent. cancellation of the debts owed by qualifying countries to the International Monetary Fund, the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, and the African Development Fund (AfDF) of the African Development Bank. Since then, the proposal has been discussed by the Board of Directors of each
8 Nov 2005 : Column 12WS
institution and received broad support, including from African countries. The IDA and IMF components were agreed at the Annual Meetings of the World Bank and IMF. The approval process is underway at the African Development Bank. We are working with others to resolve outstanding technical issues, and are confident that implementation of the new debt relief will begin in 2006. Up to $55 billion will be cancelled for the current 38 HIPCs, and we estimate that about $1 billion a year will be freed up for spending on poverty reduction in 2007, rising to $1.7 billion by 2010.
Countries will receive this 100 per cent. irrevocable debt cancellation when they complete the HIPC Initiative. There will be no further conditions attached. Countries that have already completed HIPC will need to demonstrate that they have maintained their commitment to poverty reduction and good macro-economic and public expenditure management. The allocation of additional donor resources through the existing Performance Based Allocation systems will then maintain a strong incentive for good policy and performance. In addition, Bank and Fund staff will continue to monitor and report on the overall efficiency of public expenditure as well as on progress in reducing corruption and enhancing transparency in recipient countries.
To ensure that the financing capacity of the World Bank and African Development Bank is not reduced, we and other G8 partners have committed to cover our share of the cost of the debt cancellation for IDA and the AFDF. We will make funds available ahead of the debt cancellation to cover the costs to the World Bank and African Development Bank for the next three years. We have committed to meet our share of ongoing costs for the duration of the loans, which in some cases is 40 years. These funds will be additional to the resources we had already agreed for these institutions as part of the recent replenishments of the concessional funds of the World Bank and the African Development Bank. G8 Finance Ministers have agreed that in future replenishment rounds the costs of the debt relief initiative be reported separately to ensure that they are clearly distinguishable. Debt relief at the IMF will be funded through internal resources as far as possible, but donors will provide additional resources if needed to ensure that the IMF's financing capacity is maintained.
The G8 also made a commitment to the achievement of a fair and sustainable solution to Nigeria's debt problems with Paris Club of Government creditors. I am able to report that a deal was formally agreed at the Paris Club on Thursday 20 October. This deal sees approximately $18 billion of Nigeria's debt cancelled, the remainder being repaid by Nigeria using part of its oil windfall. The UK's share of the debt cancellation is approximately $5.1 billion. The deal will be implemented in two phases over the next six months, after which Nigeria's entire debt to Paris Club creditors will have been resolved. This is the largest single debt deal ever reached with an African country. The Government of Nigeria have committed to ring fence the debt savings of about $1 billion a year to tackle poverty, and has invited national and international monitoring of all the spending, including by representatives of UK NGOs.
8 Nov 2005 : Column 13WS
Steady progress is being made in implementing the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. This targets the poorest, most indebted countries, reducing their debt burdens to sustainable levels, alongside reforms that help ensure that resources freed up are spent on poverty reduction. Rwanda, Zambia and Honduras all completed the HIPC process earlier this year and received irrevocable debt stock reductions. Most recently Burundi completed the first stage of HIPC by reaching Decision Point and so qualified for relief on its debt service payments. We expect other countries to qualify or complete the process early next year. The IMF and World Bank have stated that several more countries will be considered for the exceptional debt relief under HIPC. This is a result of the extended "Sunset Clause" which now gives countries until the end of 2006 to meet the criteria for being considered under HIPCan extension that the UK was instrumental in lobbying for. A final list of countries is expected in early 2006. Both creditors and debtors need to maintain their efforts to ensure the full financing of the HIPC Initiative, and the full participation of all creditors. The UK is the second largest bilateral contributor to the HIPC Trust Fund, which helps multilateral organisations deliver their HIPC assistance in a timely manner. The UK has committed $436 million to date (including our share of the EC contribution) and in August made our latest payment$20 million to cover the costs to the African Development Bank of debt stock write-off for Rwanda.
Once implemented, the G8 multilateral debt cancellation deal will supersede the UK's Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) for HIPC countries. For other qualifying countries, we will continue to cover 10 per cent. of their debt service to IDA and the AfDF.
In addition, the UK will give debt relief on about £42 million of development loans granted via the EU in the 1970s to 40 less developed countries. In 1978 the (then nine) EU Member States provided the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) with $428.5 million to be lent on concessional terms. Earlier this year it was agreed that these should be treated as bilateral rather than joint funds. Consequently we will manage the UK share of these loans in line with international and UK policy on debt relief. All the nine Member States involved have agreed to cancel the loans to countries that have completed HIPC. In line with our policies, the UK will forgo payments from Decision Point and hold in trust payments between December 2000 and Decision Point; these monies will then be repaid when countries reach Completion Point. The total cost to the UK of cancellation for the HIPC countries will be about £22 million. In addition, I have decided to provide relief on our share (about £20 million) of the loans to the poorest non-HIPC countries, provided they are committed to poverty reduction, human rights and sound public financial management.
I have decided to grant assistance to the Government of Belize for a further year under the Commonwealth Debt Initiative (GDI). This decision will mean that Belize will not repay £1.458 million worth of official debt to the UK (representing payments that were due in the
8 Nov 2005 : Column 14WS
financial year 200304). The Government of Belize will put the money towards agreed poverty reduction initiatives and associated economic reform.

Our overriding conclusion can be stated briefly and explicitly. The pepper spraying incident that took place on November 18, 2011 should and could have been prevented. On November 18, 2011, University of California, Davis, police officers used pepper spray on students sitting in a line in the midst of a protest and “occupation” on the campus quad. Viral images of the incident triggered immediate and widespread condemnation of the police action. The UC Davis protest focused on and drew strength from widespread discontent among students about the increase in tuition and fees at the University of California. The incident also took place against the backdrop of worldwide student protests, including demonstrations by the Occupy Wall Street movement, which triggered similar events across the nation. These protests presented challenges for all affected universities and municipalities in attempting to balance the goals of respecting freedom of speech, maintaining the safety of both protesters and non-protesters, and protecting the legitimate interests of government and the non-protesting public.
Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department Procedures for Handling First Amendment Assemblies and Mass Demonstrations
The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outlined in this manual are to ensure that this department is prepared to respond effectively and efficiently in accordance with applicable law and District of Columbia policy to any unlawful conduct occurring in the context of First Amendment assemblies. These SOP’s incorporate revisions to the manner in which the Metropolitan Police Department responds to demonstrations and other assemblies on District of Columbia public space that the District has implemented in resolving litigation. This manual also reflects measures mandated by the First Amendment Rights and Police Standards Act of 2004.

With the recent events in Tunisia and Egypt, OSAC constituents are concerned about opposition groups in other Middle Eastern countries attempting to stage similar uprisings. Many countries in the region, including Jordan, suffer from similar economic and demographic problems, which put them at increased risk of civil unrest. The recent series of Friday protests and subsequent conciliatory measures by King Abdullah has only increased these concerns. Nevertheless, Jordan is a unique country with significant differences, and its potential for civil unrest needs to be judged based on its own internal dynamics, even if that includes accounting for recent regional changes.

The adult brain can flexibly adapt behaviors to specific life-stage demands. For example, while sexually naive male mice are aggressive to the conspecific young, they start to provide caregiving to infants around the time when their own young are expected. How such behavioral plasticity is implemented at the level of neural connections remains poorly understood. Here, using viral-genetic approaches, we establish hypothalamic oxytocin neurons as the key regulators of the parental caregiving behaviors of male mice. We then use rabies-virus-mediated unbiased screening to identify excitatory neural connections originating from the lateral hypothalamus to the oxytocin neurons to be drastically strengthened when male mice become fathers. These connections are functionally relevant, as their activation suppresses pup-directed aggression in virgin males. These results demonstrate the life-stage associated, long-distance, and cell-type-specific plasticity of neural connections in the hypothalamus, the brain region that is classically assumed to be hard-wired.
Keywords: hypothalamus; neural connections; oxytocin; parental behaviors; trans-synaptic tracing.

Seven patients with proptosis, chemosis, diplopia, and elevated intraocular pressure were found to have dural arteriovenous malformations with drainage into the cavernous sinus and superior ophthalmic vein. These patients had sufficient symptoms to justify therapeutic embolization with polyvinyl alcohol. Five of seven patients had complete resolution of their ophthalmic symptoms after embolization; the other two had transient improvement. Follow-up was 9-29 months. When 50% or more of the vessels supplying a malformation were embolized, complete relief of symptoms was obtained. Particulate embolization is an effective therapeutic approach in patients with significant ophthalmologic symptoms from dural malformations.

This study investigated occupational characteristics and radiation exposure among radiologic technologists assisting fluoroscopically guided interventional (FGI) procedures. A nationwide survey of radiologic technologists in South Korea was conducted. Among 8058 male respondents, 664 (8.2%) assisted FGI procedures. The survey data were linked with dosimetry data from the National Dose Registry. Most radiologic technologists assisting FGI procedures were 30-40 years old and employed by general hospitals. These technologists worked in closer proximity to patients during procedures, less frequently used shield screens, more commonly utilized protective devices, and less commonly wore badge dosemeters than the ones not assisting FGI procedures. The average annual effective dose did not differ according to the performance of FGI procedures. The average cumulative effective dose among radiologic technologists assisting FGI procedures was significantly greater for those who had recently entered the field and personnel in rural areas than for those who did not assist these procedures.

The Coinless face off against Lord Drakkon and his forces however the Ranger Sentries easily overpower the civilians. Billy and Trini head to reactivate some shield generators while Tommy and Saba go to get the Falconzord to even up the odds. Unfortunately, Lord Drakkon ambushes Tommy, takes Saba, and in front of the Coinless, sentences Tommy to death. But before he is executed, Trini and Billy appear with a plea to surrender, holding their last hope … the deceased Billy’s Triceratops Power Coin.
In the regular world, the Power Rangers are ambushed by the Goldar army. They manage to escape the confines of the Command Center’s basement only to be attacked by giant Goldar clones. After a short zord battle, Trini is captured by Rita Repulsa, who tells her it will all be over soon…
If the last couple of issues were lacking action for you this issue paid off in spades. The pacing is fast – almost too fast – and it almost feels as if this story is being rushed to end within the next issue. Still – not being able to figure out how the Power Rangers of either world will get out of this situation is enjoyable, and the story is still one of our favorites.

Pure as love.
A commercial made by a traditional wedding jewellery company in India is currently winning both the internet and the hearts of viewers.
The advert, starring 22-year-old transgender model Meera Singhania Rehani, is titled ‘Pure as Love’ and charts the story of Meera’s transition and her journey from awkward teenager to beautiful confident bride.
The company feared serious backlash over the video following last year’s controversy over an advertisement by popular jewellery brand called Tanishq, who ran a campaign featuring an interfaith couple. The advert had to be withdrawn after a right-wing backlash on social media.
There were concerns that it might offend some people in parts of the country where abuse and stigma towards transgender people is still rife.
However Meera’s video has been met with rave reviews for its touching portrayal and has been viewed more than 900,000 times on YouTube.
Speaking to the BBC, Meera explained her initial concerns when she first heard about the commercial:
“I didn’t want someone to appropriate my trans identity for commercial use. I was also nervous since the film involved transition and as a pre-transition person I’m shown as a man with a beard”, she said.
“But when I read the story and researched about the director, I said yes. And I’m glad I did. Doing this has also helped me become more comfortable with myself.”
Navya Rao, online marketing head at Bhima told the BBC that initially the campaign was met with “fears and apprehensions” from her colleagues. “Most of our stores are in rural parts of the state. We were not sure how much exposure people there would have had to these issues.”
Despite everyone’s concerns, the video has become a viral hit. Take a look below!

Q.tall shrub for shade
We live near Chicago and I am looking for a shrub to put in a corner of the yard to hide a telephone pole. I would like it to be at least 8 ft. tall. The corner is shaded and there is a large Oak tree about 10 ft. away. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Not exactly a shrub, but a climbing hydrangea might do well there, either up the telephone pole or on a trellis. Indian hawthorn might work as well. Sky pencil holly would also be an interesting choice.

WHAT ARE EPIDURAL INJECTIONS?
Epidural Injections are delivered into the epidural space of the spine providing relief from pain or inflammation. Typically, steroids, anesthetics and anti-inflammatory medications are delivered in the injection. The medication should reduce the pain and swelling in and around the spinal nerve roots, as well as around damaged nerves. At Excel Imaging, your Esse Health Radiologist will review previous images of the spine and discuss with you the area causing the most pain. Fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging) will be used to guide the needle placement.
REASON FOR THE PROCEDURE
Epidural Injections are one of the many ways your Esse Health Radiologist may help to alleviate your pain if oral medications or physical therapy have not been successful. Common conditions that benefit from Epidural Injections include a herniated or bulging disk, spinal stenosis, chronic back or leg pain after spinal surgery and other injuries to the spinal nerves, vertebrae and surrounding tissues.
Your Esse Health Radiologist will numb the injection site then position you in a CT Scanner. CT uses low dose X-rays from multiple angles to create images to guide the placement of the needle. Once in position, contrast material will be released to confirm the route the medication will take once it is injected. Next, medication (typically a mix of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory agents) will be administered. The actual Epidural Injection usually takes only minutes to deliver but positioning in the CT scanner unit may take longer. The duration of improvement from the Epidural Injection varies. A patient may experience relief for a few days up to several months; however, the pain may eventually return, requiring either another injection or an alternative treatment.
POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS, RISKS, AND COMPLICATIONS
The risks of the procedure are minimal. You may experience a temporary increase in pain or headache. Other complications may include a reaction to the medications, infection at the injection site, bleeding if a blood vessel is accidentally damaged, injury to nerves at the injection site and temporary paralysis of the nerves leading to the bladder and bowel causing bladder and bowel dysfunction. If the Epidural Injection is given in the neck, rare complications include spinal cord injury, stroke, or death if the needle is incorrectly placed.

Lionel (father of Oscar): I’ve developed this habit on Saturday mornings to just take a quilt in front of the block of units that I live in, and just put the baby down and bring a couple of toys and I just sit with him and we play together. And it’s also good for me because I’ve been under a bit of stress at work lately running a lot of deadlines and so on. And just, it’s my time to just let go of it all.
Robert (father of 4): We bathe our baby in the bath tub and I lean over the side and, you know, it’s a natural thing. They love the water flow; you love, you know, simulating like the baby’s swimming or it might be a pram – they see a flower. Everything to them is an adventure.
Pete (father of 3): Six o’clock on a Saturday morning I’d get the baby as full as I could with milk and then, you know, put him in the stroller and we’d go for a walk.
David (father of Aidan and Riley): We’ve got a thing, which I don’t know if we should have kept going for this now that the oldest one is four, of bringing them into bed every morning, and just that moment when you just look over and they are not elbowing you and kicking you and doing all that sort of stuff. When they’re just lying there just looking around, looking back at them, just gazing at them. That’s a special moment that happens every day.
Manfred (father of James): When I took him out as a little baby I always carried him around in the Baby Bjorn facing out and I’d just walk down to the shops or around the block and go out amongst people, and everybody who passed us was smiling, everybody smiled. And I felt so proud, it felt so incredibly good and it seemed like the world is a perfect place.
Gavin (father of 5): And when they smile at you, you tend to forget every other time that they have screamed, it’s just that sort of feeling, when they look at you and give you a smile. It’s just, yeah, it’s unreal.

Crowdfunding, Voifone and YOU
Long-Term Benefits for Ranking Trainer Members
Crowdfunding is the process of raising money for a project by accepting payments from a large crowd of people - typically the future users of a product - instead of relying on just one or a few large investors for development capital to bring the product to market.
Voifone is already about 80% developed from our own capital. We are completing development with this crowdfunding effort which provides significant benefits to all early Ranking Trainer Members.
Voifone is a messaging and video calling app developed by Voifone Carrier, the parent company of Ranking Trainer. It provides features similar to Skype, Whatsapp, Viber and others but with two major differences.
First, Voifone is built with PBX (Private Branched Exchange) - which is standard business phone service - at its core.
Second, Voifone is the only product of its kind that pays its users for sharing the application the same way all other video call and meeting collaboration tools are shared. Voifone is currently the only platform built to share its profits with its users.
Being first in line provides a significant income advantage in the Ranking Trainer Affiliate Program.
Crowdfunding Member Benefits and Terms
It's automatic. If you paid for any membership, you're already participating!
YES - "sort of". If you are an Affiliate who has not purchased a Membership, no fees can be waived because you don't pay any. BUT . . . this Crowdfunding project provides a major incentive for EVERYONE who wants to increase their Affiliate income by growing their genealogy base. So, YES, you can and should benefit by educating prospective Members about the benefits of joining early. Remember, this promotion EXPRIES on its own terms (see below). So it's only available for a limited time.
Think of it as a race. The company is raising funds to complete development of Voifone UCS by selling Ranking Trainer Memberships. To do so, there are two elements to consider: Time and Money. In other words, a certain amount of revenue MUST be raised within a specific time frame for the effort to produce the desired result (i.e. sufficient excess cash to pay for project completion). Therefore TIME is a major factor and thus, the "race" element. If it takes too long to aquire the new Memberships, insufficient cash is available. EXAMPLE: Obviously, there's far LESS money for development if we get 2,000 new Members during a 3 or 4 year period as opposed to 2,000 new Members over a 15 day period. Benefits will be provided to ALL paid Members who join between June 22, 2021 (the start date for this promotion) and the date on which the company declares the promotion has ended. For Crowdfunding to work, we must gain a minimum of 2,000 new members within a 60-day time frame OR LESS.
We need 2,000 new paid Members within any 60 consecutive day period OR LESS while this Crowdfunding promotion remains active.
This is primarily a function of the date on which this Crowdfunding promotion is closed and declared successful. Once the company declares this promotion completed (i.e. 2,000 new members within 60 days or less), engineers will be tasked with completion. They report it will require 2 to 6 months for completion and launch AFTER they begin the completion phase of their work.
FEE WAIVER: Those who buy the Fundamentals Membership and the Annual Membership are also required to pay $5/month. This fee will be waived for the first TWO years instead of the one-year waiver provided in the current Membership sale.
AFFILIATE EARNINGS PROMOTION: For those Members who refer new Members, this Crowdfunding Promotion, together with the Sale Prices on Memberships, provides an additional incentive for people to join. This incentive provides a method to increase sales and therefore increase earnings for each Affiliate/Member.
Yes. If Affiliates and/or Affiliate/Members do not produce the required result of a minimum 2,000 new Members within any consecutive 60-day period or less during the promotion, the company will not have sufficient funds to complete the Voifone UCS project and this Crowdfunding effort will be cancelled. We are prepared to continue working on this promotion for months but we express no commitment as to how long or short the promotion will last or even whether it will be completed. Completion is entirely up to the results obtained by Affiliates.

How to blow a sales presentation
Your number-one task in a sales presentation? Establishing a connection with the buyer.
After all, the rest is just information. And you could probably just as easily put it in an e-mail. The reason buyers want to see your presentation is to evaluate YOU, not your product. Are you organized? Passionate? Knowledgeable?
And most of all, do you really “get” the buyer?
Sometimes the most confident presenters are the least effective at creating this connection. They’re so focused on what they’re saying that they miss the cues that the buyer is sending, says sales coach Shane Gibson.
Self-absorbed closers have the presentation down pat. They can tick off features, benefits and solutions. They’ve even identified client needs, pains and specific outcomes desired.
What they don’t get – and what kills them – is the buyer’s persona and what approach, type of communication and behavior is most appropriate.
It’s the little things
Sometimes it’s the little things and sometimes it’s one big mistake, says Gibson: an off-color joke, too-aggressive hand shaking, loud talking, or crossing invisible personal boundaries.
People often hear buying language and think they’re “in.” Robert, the prospect, is positive, his head is nodding, he’s asking questions about payment terms. But then the salesperson moves into Robert’s personal space, puts a hand on his shoulder and calls him “Bob.”
Sounds minor, but Bob – er, Robert – may feel that’s getting too personal and that the relationship is somewhere it isn’t. He may even feel that he is being “closed.” So he pulls back physically, brings up some objections to slow the salesperson down and taps on his watch. “Send me a revised quote,” he says, and that’s the last of Robert.
Presentations crumble when we’re unaware of personality styles, values, and cultural nuances. Be just as detailed with the relationship as you are with the mechanics and details of the pitch. You’ll be evaluated on your ability to connect.

In the first Wizard101 arc we learn the story of Malistaire and Sylvia. Even in death their love holds them together. A dark and mysterious man in a supernatural castle who goes too far. In Gothic literature this is a common theme. This is only fitting for our Phantom of The Opera esq love story. Let’s us take a look at the magic behind the music in the haunted sequel of this epic love story.
The orchestration begins with an eerie celesta solo accompanied by a shrill violin. The bass instruments soon follow, supporting the established sound. This theme calls and responds throughout the ensemble. It travels to the oboe and harp then follows to the flute and pizzicato strings soon after.
The choir and chimes enter at 00:39 seconds in. They trade off beats as the brass and strings emphasize the modulation of a minor chord to a major chord. This repetition develops into a different minor chord. This sets the mood of the dark essence of a Gothic castle.
We continue with a waltz which uses the same texture as before until timestamp 1:13. This is where we enter a Marleybone style orchestration with more organic sections. A change from the block-style Darkmoor tends to use. Then we jump back into the familiar melody introduced at the beginning. The orchestration lightens with several solos before its return to the start.
The timpani, contrabass, and bassoon begin this section in a low rumble. They solo before the harp’s tone cluster 00:10 seconds in that introduces the high strings.
The alto flute introduces a maniacal theme, doubled by the grandiose pipe organ. This instrument is a familiar feature in pop culture when exploring the Gothic era and its music.
Timestamp 00:27 surprises us by clustering the tones within its chord progression. In the midst of this dissonance, a waltz occurs. The melody is a whisper, stressing tension on the non-chord tones. The bass line becomes overpowering. This reflects the feelings of our Wizard in the quest to conquer Castle Darkmoor.
The next section sneaks in, with arpeggiation in the woodwinds, celesta, and pizzicato strings. The music sneaks around the castle in espionage and exploration. The beginning theme returns in solo instruments, like a hollow echo of what came before.
A short piece plays in the Darkmoor reunion scene when Malistaire and Sylvia reunite. This is where they may finally be at rest together.
At timestamp 00:15, the upper strings enter the scene with the first violin sustaining a high note. This reminds us of the start of the main theme. The second violins and violas harmonize on the offbeats, swelling into them. We progress into a major modulation before the music halts into silence.
We continue as before, except now moving onward to a darker minor chord. The timpani interrupts, crescendoing into a tutti section of the ensemble. The great pipe organ swells in a twelve-tone row. In this form atonality all twelve keys are equally presented.
The romantic music begins at 00:58. The romance derives from tension tones added to chord. This makes us feel that we are wanting resolve. It is this tension that makes us expect something brilliant to happen at the climax of the music. Often, it’s a kiss. Here, it’s the finality of death as Malistaire and Sylvia cross to the other side of the veil. Together forever.
Large brass fanfares and orchestral jubilation continue as we say goodbye to Malistaire. Third times the charm, am I right?
Thank you, Starlights, for venturing with me through the Gothic music of Castle Darkmoor.
Please note: I transcribed the music from the original/classic mode music scrolls. Not all of my transcriptions are 100% accurate, but they are close and the rhythm is properly notated

Where did it all start for Electric cars?
Electric cars are a hot topic right now since the Government announced that the sale of cars powered only by petrol or diesel would end in 2030. But if you thought that EVs were a recent phenomenon, you might be surprised to learn their history dates back to the nineteenth century.
It was the early part of the 1800s that saw the development of rechargeable lead-acid batteries, and by 1884 Englishman, Thomas Parker, was driving around Wolverhampton in the first production electric car. Porsche’s first vehicle was electrified, too – the Lohner-Porsche appeared around 1900 – and in 1899 Camille Jenatzy and his ‘La Jamais Contente’ became the first road vehicle to exceed 62mph. And around the same time you could even hail an electric taxi cab in London.
But let’s fast forward a few decades, because from the 1970’s to the 1990’s a number of car makers began experimenting with their own electric cars. They never really took off, though, mainly thanks to the limitations in performance and range but in 1996 General Motors launched its EV1. Claimed to be the first mass-produced electric car it was leased to a number of drivers in the US although most examples were crushed amidst claims that oil companies didn’t like this new technology stealing their business.
Just a year later most people’s first taste of electric motoring came in the form of the Toyota Prius, albeit in petrol/electric hybrid form, but in 2010 it was Nissan’s turn to begin something of a revolution. The LEAF would become the world’s best-selling pure electric car, and in the decade since it was launched the popularity of the EV has grown in a way that few could have imagined. And there’s Tesla, of course, the brainchild of Elon Musk and making cars that demonstrate that buyers can enjoy stunning performance as well as efficiency.
And then there’s classic cars. Loved by their owners, it’s now possible to have all the style and character of a classic only one powered by batteries rather than an engine. That’s what we set out to achieve with the RBW Electric Roadster. We’ve attracted interest from across the world and hope to encourage many more enthusiasts to make the leap from internal combustion to electric power.
And not only is the RBW Roadster truly desirable but it also boasts an important point of difference compared to other classics that have been electrified. While the majority of those have been conversions of conventionally-powered vehicles, RBW’s car is fully designed and developed from the ground-up, so it is a pioneer in the field and the safest option in electric classic cars.
Let’s not forget the world of motorsport, either. Who would have imagined that the Formula E electric racing series launched in 2014 would become such a success, attracting the world’s best drivers and car makers? In fact, championship-winning cars have been engineered by Zytek Automotive, a part of Continental Engineering Services, who worked with RBW on the development of their classic EV.
So that’s some of the past, but let’s return to today. There’s never been a wider choice, with more models being announced almost every week, and no matter what sort of car you need, there’ll be one to suit your needs.
With cars powered solely by internal combustion coming to an end in 2030 the UK can look forward to a huge investment in EV engineering and infrastructure. Whether you want a modern car or one reflecting the very best of British classic motoring, the future looks very exciting indeed…

The list we came up with isn’t made up exactly of your traditional “final girl” types -- in fact, some of these women got laid without getting slayed. Given that all these films came out within the last 30 years, each of the protagonists demonstrates noticeably different qualities from her scream queen forebears. To make the list, we took into account things like strength, attitude, determination, whether she survives (especially in more than one film of a series), and the sheer wow-factor of her kill(s), if any. Read on if you’re looking for the perfect films to watch with that special, bada$$ lady in your life, or if you ARE that special bada$$ lady and like a little side of empowerment served with your blood ‘n guts.
Kirsty - Hellraiser (1987)Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) stands out right away due to her independence; When her father Larry (Andrew Robinson) and step-mother Julia (Clare Higgins) move into a large home with plenty of room for Kirsty, she gets her own apartment, which comes in handy when her new boyfriend Steve (Robert Hines) starts spending the night. Curiosity and instinct lead her to stumble upon the grisly, skinless body of Frank fairly early, and though he approaches her in a gag-worthy predatory way, she keeps her wits about her and manages to steal the Cenobites’ puzzle box. From fighting off Frank while he’s wearing her father’s skin to outsmarting the Cenobites by using their puzzle box against them, all while seldom losing her cool and throwing in a few decent one-liners (“Go to hell!” works best in this context), Kirsty does it all.
Barbara - Night of the Living Dead (1990)The remake version of Barbara (Patricia Tallman) was updated in a screenplay by George A. Romero specifically to address some of the more disappointing aspects of her character from the original (does anyone remember her doing anything besides fainting and panicking?). While fear of the reanimated dead consumes the other survivors hiding out in the farmhouse, Barbara points out the zombies are so slow-moving the group could just walk right past them. Incompetence and short-sightedness lead everyone else to die, while she calmly leaves to get help, casually capping zombies along the way. She even finds time for some wry social commentary, remarking that a group of local hillbillies aren’t that different from the zombies they’re toying with for fun.
Clarice - TheYoung, ambitious, and able to keep pace with the sinister, charismatic Hannibal Lecter, Clarice (Jodie Foster) is still in FBI training when she gets put on the Buffalo Bill case. She’s able to stay one step ahead of the rest of the FBI with her cunning, but also by being vulnerable about her personal history to Dr. Lecter and clever enough to solve his riddles. In a sense, she trades pieces of herself to a cannibal to save the senator’s daughter. Plus, the way she takes down Buffalo Bill from his own pitch-black lair? Epic.
Helen - Candyman (1992)Helen (Virginia Madsen), a married graduate student studying urban myths, is reckless enough to summon Candyman by speaking his name into a mirror almost as soon as she learns about his legend. In any other movie, this would have spelled certain death. She loses everything -- her best friend, her husband, her credibility, and even her life (deviating significantly from the other gals on this list) -- in pursuit of the truth about the Candyman story and the community he’s terrorizing. Helen saves the day AND takes the Candyman’s place as a vengeful, murdering ghost, which means she’s more of an expert now than if she’d finished her thesis.
Sidney - Scream (1996)Sidney’s (Neve Campbell) unique place among final girls is best summed up with her own words, when Ghostface calls and asks if she likes scary movies: “What's the point? They're all the same. Some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door. It's insulting.” Sidney is defiant, feisty, and breaks all the rules for surviving a horror film while still coming out on top. She has to best not just one, but two killers, including the boyfriend that killed her mother. It’s especially fulfilling to see her turn the tables on Stu and Billy, first tormenting them over the phone before donning the Ghostface costume and dispatching them both.
Alice - Resident Evil (2002)While Resident Evil as a film may not be as impressive as some of the others on this list (or as the videogame series which inspired it), its protagonist, Alice (Mila Jovovich), kicks way more butt than your average zombie-thriller leading lady. Security guard turned environmental activist turned amnesiac turned zombie shredder, Alice is made of pure bada$$ery. She bests a pack of zombie dogs and holds her own next to Rain, played by Michelle Rodriguez (who’s basically the female Rambo). And that's just for starters.
Needy - Jennifer’s Body (2009)The nerdy, unassuming Needy (Amanda Seyfried) is introduced as a violent inmate, so we know she’s capable of more than mere worry. Immediately suspicious of the band Low Shoulder and their motives in targeting her best friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), her instincts and a good old-fashioned study session lead her to discover that Jennifer is a succubus who’s been literally devouring boys. Needy bravely takes matters into her own hands, defeating Jennifer and then going on a revenge-fueled murder spree. Though she loses everyone close to her, she gets to keep some of Jennifer’s powers, so we’ll call this one a win for Needy.
Erin - You’re Next (2011)Of all the other women on this list, you’d be hard-pressed to find any that could defeat the masked assassins (as well as trouncing the whiny, privileged Davisons) with this much skill and determination. Erin (Sharni Vinson) is full of ingenuity, posing a serious threat to the trained killers even while wounded and weaponless (that throat-punch? The flashing camera ambush? The blender?!). In fact, she’s a little TOO good at killing, as even the police officer, who finally arrives to help, succumbs to one of Erin’s lethal booby traps.
The Girl - A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)Being a vampire and technically the monster at the center of this horror film should disqualify the nameless Girl (Sheila Vand), except that we only see her killing pretty horrible people who deserve to die. She demonstrates sensitivity and restraint when wooing Arash (Arash Marandi). Plus she has a killer taste in music and gets around on a skateboard. A far cry from the final girls of yore.
Maddie - Hush (2016)A deaf, mute writer fights off a sadistic murderer while trapped in her remote home. Right off the bat, the conversation with her doomed neighbor Sarah lets us know she’s intelligent, a writer who keeps her readers guessing. She can’t hear the killer or scream for help, but she still finds ways to wound, outsmart, and even taunt him; badly injured, and with a number of disadvantages, she dares the killer to enter her home by writing “Do it, coward” on the door in her own blood.
Honorable MentionsSelena from 28 Days Later (2002), Elizabeth Shaw from Prometheus (2012), Mia from Evil Dead (2013), Jay from It Follows (2014), and, even though it wasn’t a movie, Stranger Things (2016) just wouldn’t have been the same if Eleven had been anything other than a small, unassuming girl with immeasurable power.
Who are your favorite horror movie heroines? Let's discuss it in the comments!

Title: Who Needs Mistletoe?
Email: firstname.lastname@example.org (Feed back would best be left there, I check it more often and don’t quite know how to check feed back on here.)
Feedback: Anything’s appreciated. I'm working on becoming a better writer, so the more critical, the better. Besides, if you don't feed me then I will starve and be unable to post. :(
Ratings: PG-13 for smoochies
Warnings: If the idea of two women involved in a not-quite-platonic relationship upsets you… well what are you doing in this group? I mean, turn back now… yes, that’s what I meant.
Disclaimers: Everything important belongs to Ryan Murphy (well… almost everything important... the mistletoe belongs to me, but as I point out in the story, it's not really that important) Oh, and the song belongs to Mariah Carey. (Also pointed out in the story)
Brooke sat back against the headboard of her bed and pouted. She had spent all of Christmas trying to lure Sam under the mistletoe but every attempt had been in vain. Something would always hamper her attempts at getting Sam where she wanted. Sam would go out of her way to dodge any mistletoe locations and on the happenstance that she did stumble beneath one of the traditional plants, it would be at the most inopportune moments, like say, when their friends were nearby. Needless to say, Brooke was just a tad frustrated and disappointed in the outcome of this year’s Christmas.
‘Especially after Sam’s wonderful karaoke session during the party,’ Brooke thought to herself, reminiscing on the happenings of earlier that evening…
SD had finally retired from spinning music for the evening and the girls were now setting up the karaoke machine. All of the guests, from jolly old Carmen to the Grinch formally known as Nicole, were raring to get the singing undergo. (Even though their reasons may be different, such as Nicole’s. Truthfully, she just wanted to have something to talk about when school went back into session.)
Brooke wasn’t really in the mood to listen to her friends butcher song after song. She decided to preoccupy herself with cleaning the kitchen of the mess made at dinner. She listened safely from her hiding place, only catching bits and pieces of the acts taking place in the living room. A particularly high-pitched screech of, “Hit me baby one more time,” from Harrison caused her to cringe and drop the glass she was washing. Lucky for her, it landed back in the dishwater, saving her from having to explain the broken piece of good china to the parents. She would have resumed her dishwashing if not for the sound of an angelic voice drifting into the kitchen and wrapping itself around her.
“Sam,” Brooke whispered, almost reverently.
She raced into the living room, hands still covered in suds and now dripping onto the carpet, just as Sam began one of Brooke’s favorite Christmas songs.
I don't want a lot for Christmas,
There's just one thing I need.
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree.
I just want you for my own,
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true,
All I want for Christmas is...
Sam swung her gaze up and held Brooke’s as she dutifully worked her way through Mariah Carey’s version of her favorite Christmas song. As much as she might hate the singer, the song itself held special meaning to her, and singing Brooke’s favorite version of it was just another way to prove her feelings for the cheerleader.
The instrumentals kicked in and Sam lost herself in the song and Brooke’s eyes. Soon, no one and nothing existed to either girl but each other. They were alone and Sam was singing only to Brooke. Every word Sam sang drove straight into Brooke’s heart and left her smiling like an idiot, her heart swelling in her chest. She had had an inkling that Sam might have felt more then just sisterly towards her for a while now, but this confirmed it.
The sound of roaring applause as Sam wrapped up the song broke the girls out of their reverie. Even Nic was clapping for her, albeit begrudgingly. Sam gave Brooke a soft smile before turning to the rest of their friends and bowing flamboyantly.
“Thanks guys,” Sam mumbled as she righted herself, a blush overtaking her features.
“Wow Sam,” Lily praised, “I had no idea you could sing like that.”
“Me either,” Harrison and Carmen chimed in.
“That was beautiful,” Brooke whispered so only Sam could hear.
Sam blushed even redder at Brooke’s quiet praise and her smile threatening to split her face in two. She thanked them all again and headed to the kitchen to assist in the after-dinner clean up, artfully dodging the mistletoe in the doorway. (Much to Brooke’s chagrin. Now that she knew Sam felt the same towards her as she did towards the budding journalist, she wanted to confirm it… with a kiss.)
Brooke was broken out of her memories by the sound of a knock on her door. She looked up in time to see a Santa hat poke through her door followed by Sam’s smiling face.
“Mind if I come in, Princess?” Sam asked, already slipping into the room.
Brooke beamed at Sam’s affectionate nickname for her and nodded her head in acquiescence. She watched as Sam walked over to her bed and sat at the foot of it, the brunette’s gaze never leaving hers.
“You were amazing tonight,” Brooke complimented, watching as a blush once again adorned her cheeks.
“Ya?” Sam asked, slightly doubtful that she could have been that good.
Brooke slid closer, her earlier surly mood vanishing as she neared Sam. She linked hands with the other girl and grinned, “Yes, Sam. It was beautiful.”
Sam’s self doubt was erased and replaced with something akin to courage, “Just like you, Princess.” She squeezed Brooke’s hand and was filled with warmth by the love she could see in the blonde’s eyes. “Oh,” Sam added, almost as an afterthought, “and don’t think I didn’t notice your not-so-subtle attempts to catch me under the mistletoe.”
Brooke blushed and looked away from the smirk on Sam’s face. She knew she must have looked like a fool as she tried to corner Sam but she had just been so desperate to show Sam how much the song had moved her.
“Hey,” Sam said softly, cupping Brooke’s chin and bringing her eyes back up to her own, “ don’t be embarrassed. I’m flattered, really, but…”
“You don’t have to explain,” Brooke rushed in, cutting Sam off completely in her panic and fear of rejection. ‘I read the signs wrong,’ she thought to herself.
“I’m so sorry. It’s just, I heard the song and I thought…”
Sam realized that Brooke had misinterpreted her but and tried to fix the mistake, “Brooke…”
“… That maybe you felt the same for me as I felt for you.”
“Brooke,” Sam tried again.
“But I was obviously wrong and now I’ve made things awkward for us…”
“BROOKE!” Sam tried shouting to get her attention, but Brooke was persistent in her self defamation.
“…And I’m so sorry, Sammy. It’s just, I’ve waited so long to find out my feelings were reciprocated and then with the song and the way you were looking at me I thought…”
Sam sighed and shook her head as Brooke continued to ramble on. ‘This is going to take a serious move to intervene,’ she thought to herself.
“…That now was my chance to show you mmphh.”
Brooke’s words were silenced by a pair of what had to be the world’s softest lips pressing against hers. Or at least that’s what Brooke thought as Sam crushed their lips together, effectively putting an end to her rant. She felt Sam’s hand curl around her waist, pulling her closer. A curious tongue came into play and swept across her lips, seeking permission. Brooke groaned and parted her lips, allowing Sam entrance. Sam slipped her hot, wet tongue into Brooke’s mouth and began to explore. Both girls moaned at the new contact and began reclining on the bed with Sam on top.
A soft, fluffy object bumping into her forehead brought Brooke out of her lust-filled haze. She opened her eyes to see a little white pompom resting on her head and Sam’s eyes twinkling in mirth.
“Guess I should take this off hey?” Sam said, indicating to her Santa hat which was still seated firmly on her head.
Brooke didn’t respond verbally. She simply tore the hat from Sam’s head and wrapped her arms around the brunette’s neck, pulling her in for another heated kiss.
“Mmphh,” Sam mumbled as she crashed back onto the cheerleader below her. Sam shifted so she lay half on top of Brooke and leisurely began to explore Brooke’s skin with the hand that had previously been sitting idly on the other girl’s waist.
Brooke gasped at the feeling of Sam’s palm as it burned a trail up her side. All rationale was slowly leaving her as their movements became frenzied.
“Sam, wait,” she managed to gasp out.
Sam’s head shot up from its current position at the cheerleader’s neck and her hand stilled.
“What’s wrong, Brooke?” Sam asked, fearing that the blonde had changed her mind.
Brooke could hear the unease in Sam’s voice and realized that Sam must be thinking she was having second thoughts. “I need to know that this is more then just a one night thing,” she whispered, a hint of vulnerability creeping into her voice.
Sam’s fears were allayed and a soft smile formed on her lips. “Of course it is, Princess,” she assured the blonde, “You mean way too much to me for it be anything menial like that. I’m in this for the long run, that is, if you want me…”
Tears filled Brooke’s eyes as she nodded vigorously. “Yes. Oh Sammy, yes,” she punctuated her agreement with a searing kiss. The kiss continued on for a few minutes before Sam pulled back.
“I want you,” she voiced huskily.
Brooke looked up into near-black eyes and felt the fire in her lower stomach erupt at the desire she found there. “Are you sure?” she asked, needing to be sure Sam was positive about this. She didn’t want the other girl to regret giving her this gift when she awoke tomorrow like she did with Josh.
Sam only nodded in response, her eyes lidded and lips parted as desire like she had never known coursed through her. There was no one she would rather share this with then the blonde beneath her.
“Then I’m yours, Sammy,” Brooke whispered lovingly.
Sam practically growled in response as she lowered her lips to Brooke’s in a tender, yet scorching kiss. She kissed a path along the cheerleader’s jaw to her ear.
“You know,” Sam said in a sultry voice, taking Brooke’s earlobe between her teeth and nipping gently, eliciting a moan from Brooke, “if you wanted to kiss me all you really had to do was say so. Who needs mistletoe?”

Partnership addresses Colorado’s water challenges
MSU Denver and the Denver Botanic Gardens want people to care about water conservation.
Growing up in the high desert, water awareness and basic habits of conservation became a way of life for MSU Denver student Blake Collins.
In his formative years, he remembers water restrictions and was taught to turn off the tap when washing dishes. He learned to carry sufficient hydration when mountain biking in the desert, which became his passion.
Now, Collins, 28, is a senior biology major with a water studies minor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. In addition to working part time as a bike mechanic in Denver’s Highlands neighborhood, he serves as one of the first two paid interns as part of the One World One Water (OWOW) Center for Urban Water Education and Stewardship. The center was launched in 2011 with an anonymous $1 million grant. It is now a collaboration between MSU Denver and the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Jennifer Riley-Chetwynd, director of marketing at the Denver Botanic Gardens and instructor in MSU Denver’s water studies minor, is excited about OWOW’s potential. Water will always be the nucleus of this relationship,” she said. “The Denver Botanic Gardens has a long-standing commitment to showcasing and educating about water-wise landscaping. But in order to get people to care about that, you first have to get them to care about water. MSU Denver and the gardens have a great opportunity to raise water IQ – with students, gardens members, the general public.”
Presently the Denver Botanic Gardens is funding two internships per semester for MSU Denver students. “I want to establish some continuity between the gardens and MSU Denver in terms of projects that students can plug into, said Riley-Chetwynd. “Being able to leverage the broad base of knowledge that OWOW minors develop while at MSU Denver is a huge plus for the gardens.”
The OWOW Center aims to attract funding for joint research related to water and environmental issues, and to enhance water stewardship on and beyond campus. Through three academic programs — a water studies minor, water studies certificate, and a water studies online certificate — the center is achieving its goal to expand the reach and breadth of educational programs on water and environmental issues.
Collins and Riley-Chetwynd met last spring, when he was a student in her journalism course, Covering the Environment. “Seeing how passionate she is about her subject drew me in. It was captivating. It was different and new. And the students in the class all brought different backgrounds, depending on their main areas of study.”
MSU Denver’s multidisciplinary water studies minor includes courses from geography (Global Water Concerns) and environmental studies (Water Resources), to management (Colorado Water Law and Water Rights Administration) and the College of Arts and Sciences (Water Conflict).
Riley-Chetwynd will teach her course for the fifth time next spring. “Students spend a semester thinking about who is talking about water issues, how they are talking about them, and how are varied audiences responding to the information. Not everyone who takes the course will become a journalist, but I hope they’ll graduate to take on roles that influence what others think about water issues—as teachers, lawyers, scientists or in other fields.”
Now in his final semester as an undergraduate student, Collins is supporting the fluid movement of ideas between MSU Denver and the Denver Botanic Gardens, rather than counting benthic macro invertebrates for an environmental consulting firm, which was his initial internship option. Looking ahead to December, when he graduates, he hopes to create a business or work within a profession that combines recreation and conservation.
“I always say, if you enjoy the outdoors, then you’re an environmentalist,” said Collins, who studied biology, botany and zoology at Red Rocks Community College before transferring to MSU Denver. “When I go to Moab, I’m aware of water’s scarcity. It’s ephemeral. It shows up, and it can be gone. We need water to do anything in terms of growth, and we’re running out of ideas for supply,” said Collins.
Whatever Collins does, he will apply the critical thinking skills he learned, especially when examining the way environmental issues are covered in the media. “Things aren’t black and white, especially in conservation,” Collins said. “Not just about water. Take oil and gas, for example. How are we getting it out of the ground? How are we moving it? To get beyond knee-jerk reactions, both sides need to recognize the gray scale.”

Provocative Portraits by Geoffrey Chadsey
For lots of persons, the fitful isolation imposed by the pandemic has manufactured a crisis of self-presentation: What need to I use now? How do I want to be observed? The artist Geoffrey Chadsey’s new exhibit at Jack Shainman addresses this conundrum head-on in a series of larger sized-than-everyday living portraits done in watercolor pencil, nevertheless his exploration of these questions has spanned a long time. His most up-to-date subjects are composites caught involving identities: a Black male in a cowboy hat sprouting further white limbs, an androgynous figure in a daring red fit prodding their upper body into cleavage, John F. Kennedy in football pads. “The drawings are in some methods about images,” Chadsey suggests, “how men challenge a sense of self by self-portraiture on line. And then I like when I get to recombine them and incidents materialize.” He builds his sketches in Photoshop making use of uncovered substance, from publications to archival medical pics to mug pictures, prior to drafting each and every figure on to mylar or collaging outdated drawings collectively. The fluidity of his procedure and products mirrors the slipperiness of the subjects themselves, whom the artist jokingly compares to paper dolls. “There’s some thing about that complete-frontal graphic,” Chadsey claims, “this solitary determine projecting a self out into the globe. There’s a motivation for engagement that the viewer is a minor unsure about, no matter if they want to pick that up or not.” “Plus” is on perspective as a result of June 18, jackshainman.com.
“The much more I travel, the far more I hold heading again to the similar varieties of eating places: iconic steakhouses,” states the Canadian chef Matty Matheson. The boisterous foodstuff identity, who observed fame on Viceland and YouTube instructing audiences how to baste steaks or go duck hunting, learned to cook dinner in Toronto’s French bistros and co-owns 4 eating places in Ontario. His most current, Key Seafood Palace, is partially influenced by old-university stalwarts like New York’s Peter Luger and a childhood enjoy for the Canadian chain, The Keg, but there are no red leather-based booths or darkish paneling in sight: Instead, Matheson requested the dynamic architect Omar Gandhi to construct an ethereal wood cathedral on Toronto’s bustling Queens Street West. A slatted ceiling of regionally sourced white maple curves to fulfill vertical brass screens, providing the experience of currently being nestled inside an ark (or probably a very luxe lobster entice). Custom made peachy leather-based booths from Coolican & Business circle tables with concealed drawers that keep gleaming Perceval steak knives right up until the porterhouse comes from the open kitchen. There, Atlantic seafood, Ontario beef and create from Matheson’s individual Blue Goose Farm near Lake Erie are cooked more than cherry wooden coals.

MT4 is one of the most popular trading and charting platform that works well with both entry level traders as well as advanced traders. Having come a long way, I do find it very disappointing that MT4 has limited its chart types to just the Line, Candlestick and Bar charts. But to compensate for this shortcoming, the vast eco-system built around the developers who have coded various indicators for MT4 has made it possible to use Renko charts with MT4 but with a bit of a work around which seems to work rather well.
However, don’t get your hopes up too high as even the indicators (both free and commercial) seem to be lacking in flexibility and the features. To put it bluntly, the MT4 Renko indicators plots the Renko bricks based off the 1-minute charts and therefore can be very chaotic. It doesn’t truly represent the price action as a Renko chart should.
The follow screen shot shows a 10 Pip EURUSD Renko chart on MT4 using one of the free Renko indicators that is available.
MT4 – Renko Chart Configuration
There are various free to use MT4 Renko charting indicators out there. Having tested most of them I find all the indicators to work in the same way regardless of what the developer or the person who posted the indicator to a forum has to say.
All the MT4 Renko indicators come with the same standard settings which include the ability to configure the Renko box size in Pips, show or hide the high/low wicks and some visual configurations such as changing the colors etc.
There are quite a few drawbacks to the MT4 Renko charting indicators.
The biggest drawback I find with MT4 Renko charting indicators is the lack of having the option to use the ATR settings based Renko bricks. Secondly, the lack of not being able to use closing prices based off H1, H4 or Daily or Weekly time frame makes me approach the MT4 Renko charts with caution.
At best, I can define the MT4 Renko charts as based on Dynamic Price movement based off the one-minute charts. Read more about how the Dynamic price movement based Renko chart differs from the traditional version.
In order to use the Renko charts on MT4, most of the indicators require you to add the indicator or the EA to a 1-minute chart and then specify the offline chart interval for plotting the Renko charts. So ideally, to create a Renko chart for an instrument, you’d be looking at keeping open the 1-minute chart alongside the offline chart.
MT4 Renko Chart Review
Despite its popularity and market share, it is a shame that Metaquotes has not provided additional charting types. This drawback is however made up by the various MT4 Renko indicators that are available free of cost. However, the Renko configuration is very limited and is ideal for scalping for a few pips at the best.
Because the MT4 charts can only contain a limited number of bars as history, the final Renko chart that you see on MT4 is again limited by the MT4 chart data constraints. This means that the Renko bricks you see are incomplete and it carries its own risks. The best way to overcome this is by leaving the MT4 running over a period of months so the data is cached in order to provide good enough historical Renko bars.
To conclude my review on the MT4 Renko charting, I wouldn’t dismiss it completely, but would look into the MT4 Renko charts more as a scalping form to target a few pips and will likely use it on intraday trading only.

LCMS districts are beginning to assess damages and identify needs caused by Hurricane Sandy Oct. 29 along the Eastern Seaboard. As of Oct. 30, no deaths among LCMS members had been reported, and it was not yet known how many members have damages.
The Rev. Glenn F. Merritt, director of LCMS Disaster Response, plans to visit New York and New Jersey beginning Wednesday, Oct. 31, to help assess damages and offer support to the Atlantic and New Jersey districts. Merritt said he expects to do the same in the Southeastern District early the week of Nov. 4.
“LCMS Disaster Response offers technical assistance with action planning, as well as financial and material assistance for transitional housing [and] replacement of personal items such as clothing, food, medicine and furniture” through the distribution of gift cards, Merritt said. “In this way, immediate needs can be addressed while those affected wait for decisions from FEMA and insurance providers.” (To hear a KFUO-AM Radio interview with Merritt, click here and then on “Rev. Glenn Merritt interview about LCMS response to Hurricane Sandy” on left.)
In the Atlantic District, which includes the eastern half of New York, District President Rev. Dr. David Benke reported that power, cable and “most everything else” is out in New York City. “The New York Metropolitan region is basically shut down in terms of transit, roads, schools and work today [Oct. 30], with the worst of it in lower Manhattan and along all coasts,” he said.
The Rev. Derek Lecakes, the district’s disaster coordinator, is organizing efforts Oct. 30 and 31 to determine the safety of church workers and members, and to identify damages to homes, property, churches and schools. Benke said he will share specific needs for prayer and assistance as he becomes aware of them.
At Concordia College–New York in Bronxville, N.Y., Paul Schulz, who oversees support services, said the campus has been without power since 6 p.m. Monday and it was not expected to be restored for days. Generators are operating in the dining hall and to provide power to computers and phones. The college has been closed since Monday and Schulz said he expects it to remain closed all week.
A large branch fell through a dormitory roof at the college and most of the shingles were blown off the roof of the Conservatory building, according to Schulz. “We have a lot of cleanup of branches and debris to do,” he said.
In the New Jersey District, Disaster Response Coordinator Rev. Don Brand said he did not have much success contacting congregations the morning of Oct. 30, but he attributed that difficulty to widespread power outages.
Grace Lutheran Church in Union, N.J., where Brand serves as pastor, lost electricity at 8:30 p.m. Monday, and a large tree fell against the church building but did not cause damage.
Brand and the Rev. Michael Dunne, pastor of St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Manalapan, N.J., plan to continue to try to reach pastors in the district to identify damages and needs. Pastors and members are being encouraged to post updates on the district’s Facebook page.
One casualty of the storm was the district’s cancelled Fall Pastors Conference, which was scheduled for Oct. 29-31 in Hawley, Pa.
The Southeastern District (SED) offices in Alexandria, Va., remained closed Oct. 30 for the second day. As of that morning, the district — which includes most of Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Delaware; Virginia; North Carolina; South Carolina; and York County, Pa. — had received no reports of damages.
However, “the news is reporting considerable power outages, downed trees and, of course, communities near water with significant challenge,” said Deaconess Sally J. Hiller, the SED’s executive director for Congregational Outreach and District Operations.
On Monday, SED President Rev. John Denninger called on circuit counselors to check in with their congregations.
Hiller and Deaconess Liz DeMik, SED recovery assistant, are monitoring the district’s email and Facebook page to determine how the district may assist congregations and members.
New England District President Rev. Tim Yeadon reported from Massachusetts Oct. 30 that “half a million residences in Connecticut are without power, all highways are closed and the state basically is shut down.” Although he was still waiting for damage-assessment reports from some of the district’s circuit counselors, Yeadon said “the northern states of the New England District seem to have made out pretty well — praise God!,” with trees down and power outages but nothing more serious. “The worst-hit areas in New England seem to be Connecticut and Rhode Island, especially along the shoreline,” he said. The district also includes Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.
LCMS Disaster Response, drawing on lessons learned from the Hurricane Katrina disaster in Louisiana and Mississippi, anticipates growing demand for assistance from the church, according to Mark Hofman, executive director for mission advancement.
“Congregations and individuals whose property was damaged by flooding, and who do not have flood insurance, are one example,” Hofman said. “Because of power outages, water damage and the storm’s impact on mass transit, some people will be financially challenged to replace spoiled food and prescription medications. Others will look to congregations for help with their essential transportation needs. We will be drawn in to help coordinate short-term or transitional housing, especially in situations where personal security has been affected.”
The LCMS is accepting and encouraging donations to help those affected.
“The situation on the East Coast is more than a hurricane event,” said Hofman. “People have been hit by fire, flooding rain, strong winds and heavy snow. Gifts to support a broad disaster-response effort will be needed today, tomorrow and well into the future as the specifics of our service come into sharper focus. Our Synod will be in this one for the long haul.”
In addition to Reporter Online, continuing updates about the Synod’s response to Hurricane Sandy will be posted on the LCMS website at www.lcms.org, Twitter (www.twitter.com/thelcms), the LCMS Facebook page (www.facebook.com/thelcms) and the Mercy Forever blog (http://mercyforever.lcms.org).
To help those affected by the storm:

The purpose of this study was to determine how guidance services developed in the public schools of Louisiana between 1942 and 1972. In order to understand the events of these years, it was necessary to examine the period preceding them. In the beginning of the guidance movement, social workers pioneered in assisting youth with problems associated with industrialization. Louisiana was unique in that its guidance program started within the school system. An experimental program began in the Orleans Parish Schools in 1921. It was considered effective and continued. In the 1920s vocational guidance was offered for the first time at Tulane and Loyola Universities in New Orleans, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, and the State Normal College now Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The highlight of the period 1942 to 1952 was the establishment of an occupational information and guidance section in the State Department of Education. Promoting of guidance and counselor training were the chief activities of the new section. In the period 1952 to 1958 certification standards for counselors were approved by the Louisiana State Board of Education. Graduate course offerings were increased at several colleges. By 1955 both Louisiana State University and Northwestern State College offered the graduate work required for secondary school counselor certification. The National Defense Education Act was passed in 1958. The result was unprecedented growth in guidance. Schools were allotted funds for testing, guidance, and counseling. Counselors and prospective counselors were given stipends to attend professional training in counseling. In the ten-year period after 1958, the number of certified counselors increased more than five and one-half times. In 1971 certification standards for elementary counselors were approved. Government support of guidance in Louisiana and over the nation has fluctuated with economic conditions and manpower shortages. Spurts of growth like that following the passage of the National Defense Education Act illustrated the effects of variations in federal support. It is hoped that regular financial support to provide a continuous developmental approach, in serving all students throughout their school lives, will become the established pattern.

Predictors of caregiver psychological well-being, including depression, marital satisfaction, positive affect and negative affect were examined as a function of primary and secondary stress. Measures assessing these outcomes as well as role overload, inter-role conflict and care receiver impairment were administered to 77 female caregivers of dementia patients. A comparison group of 80 females was also included. Results demonstrated that noncaregivers experienced significantly higher positive affect than caregivers. In addition, differential mediating relationships were found between primary and secondary stressors contingent upon the type of outcome examined. More specifically, inter-role conflict mediated the relationship between work overload and both positive and negative affect. Caregiver-specific stressors predicted depression and negative affect but did not predict positive affect or marital satisfaction. Finally, the domain-specific predictor of spouse inter-role conflict predicted the domain-specific outcome of marital satisfaction. Findings were discussed in terms of the caregiver stress model of Leonard Pearlin and his colleagues (Pearlin, Mullan, Semple, & Skaff, 1990) and suggest the multidimensional, dynamic nature of caregiving.

I studied the ecological diversity and spatial patterns of passerine birds during the springs of 1993, 1994, and 1995 at 3 stopover sites on the Chenier Plains of Louisiana and Texas. A "control" stand with dense understory vegetation and a "reduced" stand with modified understory were at each site. Data were collected on the structure and composition of vegetation and on the abundance and location of birds. Species richness, dominance, and diversity indices were computed for both vegetation and birds. Patterns of floristic impoverishment, greater dominance, and greater plant species diversity were found at the "reduced" stands. "Control" vegetation did not have greater bird species richness than the "reduced" stands. Nevertheless, bird species diversity tended to be lower in the "reduced" plots. This difference was consistent at 2 of the study sites in all 11-week observation periods. Between 30--40% of the bird species considered had dispersion patterns that differed from random. More bird species had clumped patterns on the "control" stands than at the "reduced" ones. Therefore, it seems that vegetation composition and structure influenced the spatial use of habitat. A more detailed study of the spatial patterns of 2 target species was carried out with Ripley's K functions. Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) had clumped patterns at both "control" and "reduced" stands in 2 study sites but only in the "control" stand at the third site; the "reduced" plot was basically not used there. Hooded Warblers (Wilsonia citrina) had the same pattern at the same stand but a tendency to be more clumped in the "control" stands at the other 2 sites. A direct link between clumped patterns and specific vegetation characteristics was not found, yet patchiness in birds on the chenier woods seems to result from environmental factors. In short, in this study I present evidence that birds (particularly Neotropical migrants) tend to respond to the overall structure of their spring stopover habitat in the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Alternative communication systems such as picture exchange systems and sign language are commonly used instructional techniques when teaching verbal operants to individuals with deficient vocal verbal repertoires, but which response topography is most efficient is highly debated. Selection-based manding responses and topography-based manding responses were alternately taught to three boys with severe language deficits in order to determine the relative efficiency of acquisition of each system. The results indicated that selection-based communication systems were more readily acquired across all participants.

Exact solution of the electrostatic problem for a single electron multijunction trap
We present an exact solution for the potential profile of a biased single electron trap. Analytical expressions for the total free energy as well as the corresponding charging energy, barrier height for a trapped electron in the store island, and threshold voltage for a single charge transfer are derived. This enables us to demonstrate the important role of well capacitance Cw in determining the barrier height of the trapped electron, and to show that systems with small well capacitance are not suitable for studying the single electron trap. Our techniques are applicable to a variety of other single charge tunneling systems. © 1995 The American Physical Society.

A new investigation OP photometric changes in RW Persei
We have obtained new photoelectric observations of RW Per, and carried out photometric solutions for these data, for earlier photoelectric observations, and for archival photographic observations. We conclude that no third light exists in this binary, and that the original nodal variation explanation for historical changes in the depth of primary eclipse is therefore incorrect. We suggest a revised nodal variation hypothesis. We also note that these changes could have been produced by a gradual increase in the polar radius of the hot star, perhaps related to a change in that star's rotational velocity.

Polar codes for private classical communication
We construct a new secret-key assisted polar coding scheme for private classical communication over a quantum or classical wiretap channel. The security of our scheme rests on an entropic uncertainty relation, in addition to the channel polarization effect. Our scheme achieves the symmetric private information rate by synthesizing "amplitude" and "phase" channels from an arbitrary quantum wiretap channel. We find that the secret-key consumption rate of the scheme vanishes for an arbitrary degradable quantum wiretap channel. Furthermore, we provide an additional sufficient condition for when the secret key rate vanishes, and we suspect that satisfying this condition implies that the scheme requires no secret key at all. Thus, this latter condition addresses an open question from the Mahdavifar-Vardy scheme for polar coding over a classical wiretap channel. © 2012 IEICE Institute of Electronics Informati.

A casino online is a website that offers a variety of online gambling games for real money. These games can range from slots to table games and keno. These websites also offer a number of bonuses and promotions to new players. Some of these promotions include free spins, match-up bonuses, and loyalty rewards programs. Some of these casinos also have live dealer tables. However, it is important to check the terms and conditions before playing.
A good casino online should have a wide selection of casino games, including traditional table games like blackjack and roulette as well as newer titles that are not found at land-based casinos. In addition, the site should have a generous welcome bonus that will encourage new players to sign up. The welcome bonus should be a match-up of the amount that a player deposits, and it should have low rollover requirements. The site should also have a mobile-friendly version of the website so that it can be accessed from any device.
The casino online industry is booming and many different sites are vying for your business. It is important to find a legitimate casino online that has a good reputation for customer service and fair games. You should also check whether the casino has a license from your state or country. Lastly, make sure that the site offers multiple payment methods and good security features.
Caesars Entertainment is the biggest casino company in the US, and it recently rolled out an online casino. It purchased William Hill in a multibillion-dollar deal, and the site has already launched in a few states. Its real-money casino site has a lot to offer, and it will likely become one of the best online casinos in the US in 2021.
Most reputable casinos online offer their US players the chance to gamble in their preferred currency. This could be US Dollars, Euros, British Pounds or any other legal tender. Some even accept cryptocurrencies, which are growing in popularity as a way to gamble. The best casino online will provide you with a list of available currencies and their conversion rates before you deposit.
Casino online sites also offer a variety of banking options for their US players. Many of these offer quick and easy deposits and withdrawals. They also usually have a high level of security for their players’ personal information. Some also feature live chat support and telephone support services.
Some of the best casino online sites have extensive game libraries, and many of them feature progressive jackpots. These jackpots can be worth millions of dollars, and they are a great way to add excitement to your gaming experience. These jackpots are triggered by hitting certain symbols on a slot machine game, and the amount of the prize will increase with each spin. These jackpots can be a big draw for casino players, and they often feature on-screen displays that display the current amount of the jackpot.

A Swedish mora clock with the original mechanism from the 1850s. Arabic numbers were used for the dials. The case has a hand-forged strap hinge from the 19th century. This vintage item remains fully functional, but it shows signs of age through scuffs, dings, or visible repairs. This piece is in working order. The movement is fully functional: cleaned, oiled, and restored originally. Include pendulum and 2 iron weights. The clock case is painted in green color. The base has painted flower details in multicolor. Arriving in at a new home may require balancing. Light wear is consistent with age and use.

A wide range of cell culture, animal and human epidemiological studies are suggestive of a role of vitamin E (VE) in brain function and in the prevention of neurodegeneration. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In the current investigation Affymetrix gene chip technology was utilised to establish the impact of chronic VE deficiency on hippocampal genes expression. Male albino rats were fed either a VE deficient or standard diet (60?mg/kg feed) for a period of 9 months. Rats were sacrificed, the hippocampus removed and genes expression established in individual animals. VE deficiency showed to have a strong impact on genes expression in the hippocampus. An important number of genes found to be regulated by VE was associated with hormones and hormone metabolism, nerve growth factor, apoptosis, dopaminergic neurotransmission, and clearance of amyloid-beta and advanced glycated endproducts. In particular, VE strongly affected the expression of an array of genes encoding for proteins directly or indirectly involved in the clearance of amyloid beta, changes which are consistent with a protective effect of VE on Alzheimer's disease progression.

We infer conditional swap rate moments model independently from swaption cubes. Conditional volatility and skewness exhibit systematic variation across swap maturities and option expiries (conditional kurtosis less so), with conditional skewness sometimes changing sign. Conditional skewness displays some relation to the level and volatility of swap rates but is most consistently related to the conditional correlation between swap rates and swap rate variances. From realized excess returns on synthetic variance and skewness swap contracts, we infer that variance and (to a lesser extent) skewness risk premia are negative and time varying. For the most part, results hold true in both the USD and EUR markets and in both precrisis and crisis subsamples. We design and estimate a dynamic term structure model that captures much of the dynamics of conditional swap rate moments.

The number of out-of-school science programs, which refers to science education at outside school environments, is gradually increasing. Although out-of-school programs are generally considered to be important for the development of pupils’ science knowledge and skills, more evidence concerning the learning effect of these programs is needed. In the present study, we explored whether different degrees of implementation of a connected in-school and out-of-school science program affect pupils’ cognitive science skills in relation to teachers’/instructors’ support. We used a multiple case study design with four cases comprising three different degrees of program implementation: optimal, intermediary and marginal. The cases comprised pupils of upper grade elementary school classes, their teachers, and the instructors of the out-of-school activity. The effect of the program was measured by coding pupils’ performance with a scale based on skill theory, and by coding teacher’s/instructor’s support with the Openness Scale. The data was gathered from microgenetic measurements over time, corresponding with an in-depth analysis of the process of change in naturalistic conditions. We found the highest learning effect in the optimal program implementation, which indicates that it is favorable to implement the complete program, and train teachers/instructors to use open teaching focused on conceptual understanding.

We present experiments in which an ultra-cold sample of ammonia molecules is released from an electrostatic trap and recaptured after a variable time. It is shown that, by performing adiabatic cooling before releasing the molecules and adiabatic re-compression after they are recaptured, we are able to observe molecules even after more than 10 ms of free expansion. A coherent measurement performed during this time will have a statistical uncertainty that decreases approximately as the inverse of the square root of the expansion time. This offers interesting prospects for high-resolution spectroscopy and precision tests of fundamental physics theories. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Tesofensine (NS2330) is a serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor that is currently being investigated for its weight loss effects.
Initially developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease, researchers noted significant weight loss in study volunteers taking the tesofensine peptide. As a result, researchers are now looking at it as a potential obesity treatment thanks to its ability to suppress appetite. Tesofensine is currently in phase III clinical trials as a weight loss treatment.
Tesofensine (also known as TE) inhibits the presynaptic neurotransmitter reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. When these three neurotransmitters are inhibited and prevented from re-entering the central nervous system, the body responds with a decrease in appetite.
Tensofensine functions primarily as an appetite suppressant. According to research, it also boasts other effects on fat oxidation, enhancing weight loss. Scientists say the tesofensine peptide has a modulating action on dopamine – often called the “happy hormone” – as it affects the pleasure sensation involved with food consumption.
The peptide was initially developed for the treatment of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Studies, however, found that the tesofensine effects on these conditions were relatively weak. Since then, researchers have found that weight loss was consistently reported[i] with tesofensine usage, particularly in overweight patients.
Ultimately, researchers ceased investigating it for neurological disorders and focused on studying tesofensine weight loss effects.
How Does Tesofensine Work?
As a serotonin-noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, the tesofensine capsules help to suppress appetite and boost metabolic rate. Studies prove tesofensine’s effectiveness in treating obesity. One study found that participants all saw a noticeable difference when taking tesofensine, including an overall 5-10% reduction in body weight. Everything from body fat to waist and hip circumference was also reduced, as was BMI.
From what research shows so far, tesofensine results go beyond weight loss benefits. Some of its reported effects include improved cognition, memory, and learning, which is why the peptide is also studied for its effects on depression and cognitive decline.
Tesofensine Benefits 2023
While tesofensine research is still relatively limited, studies so far show that it can offer a range of benefits, especially when it comes to weight loss. The more research carried out on this peptide, the more scientists hope to discover it. Here are the primary benefits of tesofensine so far, as reported by researchers.
Tesofensine for Weight Loss
Since discovering its ability to suppress appetite and aid in fat oxidation, researchers have diligently investigated the tesofensine obesity treatment.
The clinical Phase 2B trial results[ii] indicate that tesofensine produces approximately 28.2 lbs of weight loss on a 1 mg dose, 24.9 lbs on a 0.3 mg dose, and 14.7 lbs on a 0.25 mg dose. All patients were instructed to follow a 300-calorie deficit diet and to engage in 30-60 minutes of physical exercise per day.
Research shows that tesofensine produced the best results when paired with caloric restrictions and exercise.
Other tesofensine results noted by patients include improved levels of insulin sensitivity, appetite reduction, an increase in energy after 14 days, and an increase in fat oxidation – and ultimately a reduction in fat tissue.
In the phase 3 study, a 24-week double-blinded trial, patients were given 0.25mg and 0.50mg of oral tesofensine. Results found a decrease in body weight, reduction in BMI, decreased body fat, decreased insulin, and improvements in hip and waist circumference. There was even evidence to suggest that tesofensine pills or capsules could better regulate glucose metabolism and even potentially reverse early type 2 diabetes.
From what’s been discovered at present, this peptide looks to be a ground-breaking formula when it comes to the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
Tesofensine for Depression
According to research, tesofensine may be helpful for depression. Research demonstrates that stress can decrease BDNF levels in the brain – which is responsible for stimulating neuron growth and easing symptoms in those with depression and cognitive decline. When this exposure to stress becomes chronic and prolonged, atrophy of the hippocampus can occur. This change in the structure of the hippocampus has been linked to depression.
Studies show that tesofensine can improve BDNF levels and ultimately promote neurogenesis in the brain, offering anti-depressant properties. While it’s not been the primary focus of research, it’s clear that tesofensine capsules can be effective at easing mental health issues like depression.
Tesofensine for Alzheimer’s
While researchers may have abandoned the use of tesofensine in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, there’s still enough evidence to show the compound boasts beneficial effects on memory and cognition. Despite the dopamine-boosting effects being too small to have a great impact on these neurological diseases, some scientists are still interested in harnessing the peptide’s cognitive-enhancing abilities.
As previously mentioned, tesofensine peptide can increase BDNF levels. This, in turn, can help boost cell survival and reproduction. Experts are convinced this compound may be helpful for a range of conditions, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Alzheimer’s.
Tesofensine for Pain Management
While research is limited on these effects, there is evidence to suggest that this anti-depressant may be able to help when it comes to managing pain. Thanks to dopamine-boosting agents, tesofensine may aid in quelling pain. Of course, the current research focus is on its ability to boost weight loss. That said, scientists do believe they’ll find more benefits of tesofensine the more they investigate the compound.
Tesofensine Side Effects
Is tesofensine safe? The side effects of tesofensine are much like any other dietary pills and weight loss medications. In clinical trials, the most common tesofensine peptide side effects included dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, and high blood pressure.
According to researchers, anti-obesity drugs are known for posing cardiovascular risks. Compared to many of these drugs, however, tesofensine is relatively safe. It is unique in that it acts on the neurotransmitter reuptake instead of the peripheral action of lipase inhibitors and other compounds.
Is tesofensine dangerous? From what scientists have discovered so far, it is not considered harmful to health.
How to Take Tesofensine
In regards to tesofensine dosage, researchers have used a variety of test subjects. The most effective tesofensine dose is between 0.5 and 1 mg, taken once per day. This is the safest way to take tesofensine without experiencing unpleasant side effects.
Since this peptide is not yet approved for human consumption, we are unable to provide detailed information regarding dosage.
When to Take Tesofensine
In studies, participants received tesofensine once a day. Research shows that it performs best when combined with a low-calorie diet and exercise.
Since this peptide is not currently approved for human consumption, we are unable to provide detailed information regarding tesofensine and when to take it.
Tesofensine vs Semaglutide
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication known for its weight loss benefits. It functions by mimicking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that’s produced naturally in the body. The release of this hormone, it targets receptors in the body that spur insulin release while simultaneously suppressing glucagon, thereby decreasing appetite. Originally developed to aid with type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 receptors are now commonly used for treating obesity.
Tesofensine is also an appetite suppressant. However, it functions differently than semaglutide. Tesofensine inhibits presynaptic reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, which causes the body to feel naturally fuller. This, in turn, leads to significant fat loss.
While tesofensine and semaglutide are both effective when it comes to promoting weight loss, tesofensine’s FDA approval hasn’t yet been confirmed. That said, research shows that tesofensine is highly effective in regards to triggering significant weight loss.

Based on the recent finding of a hierarchical scale for Neuroticism in the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, a further personality inventory: the Eysenck Personality Inventory was analysed using the Mokken Scaling Procedure for hierarchical scales. Items from two dimensions ofthe Eysenck Personality Inventory - Neuroticism and Extraversion - produced reliable hierarchical scales of 12 and five items, respectively, for all subjects but only a scale for Neuroticism for males and females separately. The Neuroticism items ran from items expressing mild to more extreme worry and a single hierarchical scale for Neuroticism, usable with males and females, is suggested. The utility of hierarchical scales in personality measurement is discussed in terms of furthering the theoretical understanding of personality traits and also their practical applications.

The marine plastic pollution has been the focus of extensive attention from the public and scientific community. Terrestrial ecosystems, however, have received significantly less attention, and we know surprisingly little about plastic distribution in terrestrial environments and its impact on terrestrial wildlife. Indonesia is one of the largest plastic waste producers in the world and simultaneously home of the Wallacea biodiversity hotspot, which is inhabited by several endemic and endangered species, including moor macaques (Macaca maura). Working with in-country collaborators, this project examines the extent to which macaques are affected by plastic pollution and how people perceive these interactions in order to identify potential problems and workable, sustainable solutions.

Clearance of ocular fluid and metabolic waste is a critical function of the eye in health and disease. The eye has distinct fluid outflow pathways in both the anterior and posterior segments. Although the anterior outflow pathway is well characterized, little is known about posterior outflow routes. Recent studies suggest that lymphatic and glymphatic systems play an important role in the clearance of fluid and waste products from the posterior segment of the eye. The lymphatic system is a vascular network that runs parallel to the blood circulatory system. It plays an essential role in maintenance of fluid homeostasis and immune surveillance in the body. Recent studies have reported lymphatics in the cornea (under pathological conditions), ciliary body, choroid, and optic nerve meninges. The evidence of lymphatics in optic nerve meninges is, however, limited. An alternative lymphatic system termed the glymphatic system was recently discovered in the rodent eye and brain. This system is a glial cell-based perivascular network responsible for the clearance of interstitial fluid and metabolic waste. In this review, we will discuss our current knowledge of ocular lymphatic and glymphatic systems and their role in retinal degenerative diseases.

A plop, a drop of rain, met the California desert ground and trickled into the creek. It brushed against fish, and then slipped through their gills to steal traces of each encounter. The droplet carried the genetic memories downstream until it reached an ingenious device that unlocks the secrets of creek creatures.
Jim Birch (director of the SURF centre at the Moss Landing-based Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) said, “This is a microbiology lab inside a can.”
This can is actually a MBARIs environmental sample processor, a $200,000 robotic lab the size of a 50-gallon drum. It collects genetic clues cells, mucus and feces from ecosystems. These are collectively called environmental DNA, or just eDNA.
One of the largest single-site eDNA collections in the nation was produced by the device at Scott Creek, north of Davenport. From April 2019 through April 2020, scientists discovered details about endangered and invasive species within the freshwater ecosystem. The study is now a scientific paper. It reinforces the growing interest to detect and better protect hard-to-find species by using eDNA monitoring, instead of more invasive techniques like fish counts.
It can do that without needing to put a lot more nets in the water, according to Kevan Yamahara, a specialist and one of the paper authors.
Over the past decade, eDNAs ability detect rare organisms has attracted a lot of attention around the world. The technology has helped to rediscovered a small but important population of aquatic insects in the United Kingdom. It detected more mammals in Canada than traditional camera traps. It was instrumental in tracking the spread of the coronavirus.
MBARIs used a pump to draw water from Scott Creek and then pushed it through a filter multiple times per day. Once the filter had collected enough materials, the machine applied preservative. Yamahara said that each filter was placed in a carousel, similar to a gun’s bullet-loaded chamber. Researchers took the data from the carousel containing 132 samples and returned it to Moss Landing.
Nearly 700 samples were collected over the course of the yearlong monitoring. The creek’s threatened coho salmon and steelhead trout populations were the focus of the yearlong monitoring. These are both commercially important fish. Birch, who is also the author the soon-to be-submitted research manuscript, said Scott Creek is one the most southern points where coho salmon lay eggs.
The device was located in the creek next to a more reliable monitoring tool, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weir. Birch explained that the weir is a perforated, flow-through dam that has allowed NOAA staff to count, inspect and release fish on an annual basis for 20 years.
The fish counts were kept going throughout the project, allowing for comparisons between traditional and new monitoring techniques. The team discovered that the amount of steelhead trout genetic material was often higher than that of coho salmon. Ryan Searcy, a Stanford environmental engineering doctoral student and the lead author of the research papers, said that this was in addition to the NOAA fish traps numbers.
The eDNA collected provided seasonal data that reflected the possible life histories of species through winter rains, dry spells in summer and all days in between. Yamahara stated that the information revealed the best times for eDNA sampling of certain species.
The winter is when coho salmon eggs eDNA were at their highest concentrations. The amount of salmon DNA decreased as the creeks flowed less in the fall. Searcy stated that the results gave confidence to researchers and suggested new monitoring methods might be well-suited for documenting migratory fish behavior.
Other secrets of the creek were also revealed by the data. The team discovered that less then 1% of the eDNA was derived from invasive species. Searcy stated that this low percentage suggests that invasive species such as the New Zealand mudsnail or striped bass may not yet be present in the creek. Yamahara stated that such monitoring could give scientists early warning signs of invasive species, allowing them to be detected before they are observed.
Yamahara stated that you don’t have to physically search for the specimens. You can simply take a water sample, and then process it.
Birch stated that the environmental sample processor for MBARIs traveled the globe when it was first revealed in the late 2000s. Since then, the Scott Creek device has been redesigned into a model that is the same size as two basketballs.
Birch explained that the technology was used by researchers to create autonomous underwater vehicles for exploring marine habitats, such as those at Monterey Bay. Yamahara stated that they are also used in the Great Lakes to monitor harmful algal blooms.
Yamahara hopes that eDNA monitors will become more mobile and can be used in freshwater habitats like Scott Creek. The prototype is not perfect, but it could revolutionize ecosystem monitoring.
Birch stated that labs can be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of genetic data provided by these new devices. Birch would like to see future versions that can do this type of analysis on-site.
He stated that that is the Holy Grail, the brass ring. MBARI is trying to push for this ring to be used onboard to process the samples.
There were also differences in the results of old and new monitoring techniques. The team detected fish eDNA much more often than fish caught in NOAAs fish traps. Searcy said that this is not common, but not unusual in the field. This is especially true since eDNA may be from fish downstream of the sampling site.
Researchers say that each technique provides different information about species and they should be considered complementary. This combination is rare and valuable in the greater Bay Area, according to Brian Allee, a lead fisheries biologist at South Bay Clean Creeks Coalition, who was not part of the study.
Although the price tag of the device can limit its usage, Allee would like to see its eDNA Monitoring applied to local urban streams in order to further investigate endangered species.
He said that what we really want is wild populations that spawn on their own on an ongoing basis. This has been a difficult process, but technology is crucial as we cannot go back to the Lewis and Clark era.

From Darkness into Light
Wartime action and postwar triumph in the advertising of the 1940s
At the beginning of the decade, America was at war. Patriotism was an integral part of everyday life, with the sentiment mirrored in advertising. As America emerged victorious out of the darkness of World War II in 1945, the economic boom of the era helped usher in the most dramatic rise in quality of life, excess, and consumerism. The war’s end also brought unprecedented pride and prosperity to the American people, and nothing reflects the new wave of consumerism and progress more than the ads of the time. Spending power dramatically increased in the decade’s second half, with plentiful jobs and higher wages. Because of the new GI Bill, affordable housing was made available to returning war veterans for the first time. People were ready to embrace the idea of the American Dream.
The postwar era represented a flood of products and services for every need and occasion, reaching every corner of society. Everything from entertainment to travel and automobiles, alcohol and tobacco, fashion and beauty, and food and beverage was in high demand and within reach. This period opened the floodgates of buying as advertisers sought to meet the needs of a population recovering from years of rationing. This engaging collection edited by Jim Heimann dives into the frenetic, lively, and brilliant era of American life and advertising in the 1940s.
The author Steven Heller has produced over 200 books on visual communication and published countless articles in international design magazines. Currently he is cofounder and cochair of the MFA Design program at the School of Visual Arts, New York.
The editor Jim Heimann is the Executive Editor for TASCHEN America. A cultural anthropologist, historian, and an avid collector, he has authored numerous titles on architecture, pop culture, and the history of Los Angeles and Hollywood, including TASCHEN’s Surfing, Los Angeles. Portrait of a City, California Crazy, and the All-American Ads series.

Hanging out in a cemetery isn’t every girl’s idea of a good time, but for Paislee Grimes, the dead can be the best company.
Raised in the sleepy Connecticut town of Pine Grove by an undertaker and a coroner, Paislee has seen more than her fair share of death, and she’s right at home amid the morbid and macabre.
She’s happy enough to spend her last months before college cobbling together a history of the place she loves most and studying the lives of the people buried in her backyard, but when the body of a classmate turns up face down in the lake, it’s Paislee’s time to shine.
Armed with a fierce drive and a gift for forensic anthropology, Paislee dives headfirst into the biggest shock Pine Grove has ever seen.
Suddenly, everyone is a suspect - friends, love interests, and even the mayor. And in a community as tight-knit as hers, no one wants to believe the killer could be one of their own.
But where there’s a murder, there’s a murderer, and with more questions than answers, it’s beginning to look like Paislee is the only one who can connect the dots.
This audiobook was provided by its publisher, K.A. Goodsell, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Thanks, K.A.!
Bones and Drones was an engaging surprise. I liked the idea of a teen who is not typical by any stretch working to solve a murder. Well, she is typical in some ways since she thinks and acts her age, but has a unique skill set and interests which her supportive parents encourage. This was right up my alley because I grew up with similar interests- at least in cemeteries and town histories.
The story is a mystery at the core, but the mystery is only one of the elements. This is also a teenager’s life story, too. Paislee in transition to college, figuring out relationships with guys, navigating home life, prepping for her career, and learning to be part of a team.
At first, I was enjoying the story, but felt it was only moderately engaging. For me, the entrance of her partner-competition in solving the case, Gage, was the element needed to make the story have some sparkle. Paislee seemed to have things her own way because she is unique, but now she is forced to learn that another person has connected interests and can contribute strongly. It was fun seeing Gage confuse and amuse her out of her Lone Ranger attitude that included a sense of superiority.
The mystery itself stayed background to the set up of the story for the longest time, but it all built to those riveting moments near the end. I had no idea who or why and could only follow along. Things are left dangling, but this is a series that progresses the story into the next book.
Carrie Coello is a new to me narrator. She was a perfect match for a teen girl main character and a wide range of voices from both genders surrounding Paislee. She nails the tone and paced the story well especially as it got near the end. The book was enhanced by her audio work.
In summary, it was an amusing coming of age blended with small town murder mystery that will continue on in a series of books. I can definitely recommend it to YA mystery fans.

We’ve learned a number of new terms over the course of the pandemic: R number, variants, herd immunity, mRNA and so on. These concepts are often foreign and complicated, but they help both policymakers and the person on the street make sense of the crisis. When faced with an existential challenge, we all learned a little bit of scientific jargon.
That’s something we’ll have to do as we tackle climate change, too. Consider the claim Prime Minister Scott Morrison made in April that Australia had reduced its emissions by 19% in 2019 compared with 2005 levels. It was an attempt to burnish his country’s coal-stained image at a climate summit convened by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Turns out, it was a neat accounting trick. “Australia has made minimal progress towards net zero and its emissions trends are among the worst in the developed world,” a new study from the Australia Institute concluded. It found that the reduction claim is only possible if you include the land-use sector, which involves forests, agriculture and other related emissions. Without it, Australia’s emissions from fossil-fuel use and industry increased by 6% in 2018, relative to 2005.
“In a net-zero world, we know that the elephant in the room for most countries is fossil fuels,” said Pep Canadell, chief research scientist at CSIRO’s climate science center. “You cannot leave cutting emissions from the energy sector to the last minute. It’s a multitrillion-dollar problem that you change over decades.”
It’s not that emissions from land use don’t matter. The most recent analysis from Global Carbon Project shows that, globally, the sector added 6.5 billion tons of emissions in 2019. That’s nearly one-fifth the emissions from fossil-fuel use in that year.

Husum Waterfall: The tallest floatable waterfalls in the U.S. on the White Salmon River!
Husum waterfall is easily one of the most photographed river rapids in the Pacific North West! The waterfall is located on the White Salmon River and is a trip highlight of later season rafting on the White Salmon River. Once flows actually become low enough and the hydraulic at the base of the falls becomes more forgiving, we start running Husum Falls. The change in character creates a waterfall that much mellower as the water levels drop later into the season (usually in August and Sept).
This is one of the largest commercially run drops you will find anywhere in the states. Husum waterfall is also located right along Highway 141 in the town of Husum, making it a very easy place for spectators to gather and watch. Just up the road from our White Salmon River Drifter’s Outpost, you can capture ‘hero shot’ photos or check our professional photos after your trip. The waterfall is certainly not for everyone. One must be comfortable with the possibility of the raft flipping, being ejected from the raft, and possibly swimming the shallow rapid below the bridge or swimming to shore.
Check out our Husum waterfall video clips capturing ‘yes it happens’ moments on the White Salmon River with our experienced, trained, and professional guides.
Ready to take your plunge on Husum Falls?
Here are your next steps:
(1) Confirm that each person in your party is up to our White Salmon River rafting and meets the age requirement of 10 years old on the date of your trip and 15 years old to run Husum waterfall. No exceptions here folks.
(2) Confirm that each person in your party meets the essential eligibility criteria so that each person in your group shows up to the river trip with the physical, emotional, and mental criteria required to participate in all River Drifters river trips. We understand the thrill and excitement of river rafting can often block the common senses that protect each of our well-being. We share your enthusiasm and we also take great care in extending all measures possible to assist guests in making wise and informed decisions for themselves and the people in their party.
(3) Confirm that your driving direction to our White Salmon River outpost fits into your vacation plans so that you have plenty of time to arrive 30 minutes prior to your adventure and get outfitted in our farmer john wetsuits, splash tops, helmet, lifejacket, and booties (all provided for guests with no extra fee).

So many of us have a misconception about wigs. Everyone thinks that people will know that you're wearing a wig and that they can tell because it looks too full and tangles. Yes, this may be true for some wigs out on the market but not all wigs are made the same. Most wigs that give this impression are not high quality wigs and most of the time haven't been serviced by a professional wig specialist.
Different hair types are available and different grades of qualities as well. A good quality synthetic can look and feel more natural than a ''natural hair wig'' it's all in the workmanship of the cap as well as the fibers used to produce the wig and most importantly the service done after purchase by a professional wig stylist. I will give you some information as well as guidelines to follow in choosing the right wig for you.
Coming to terms why you need/want to wear a wig:
There are many reasons why you need/want to wear a wig. Hair loss is an extremely difficult situation to come to terms with as a woman. It is normal to feel insecure and scared initially but just know that in time it does get easier. You are not alone! So many women feel completely alone in this situation and the reality is that a lot of women experience hair loss either because of an illness or malnutrition which can also cause skin irritation on the scalp as well. There are many online support groups as well as local wellness centers who offer support and information don't hesitate to explore them. Common causes of hair loss are due to certain medications including chemotherapy, HIV/Aids, hypothyroidism, and iron deficiency as well as cancer or hypothyroidism and the most common of them all is alopecia. Once you have explored your options and decide on what is best for you and your own moral you need to decide and come to terms with how long and how often you will be wearing your wig.
Wigs and their lifespan:
Yes wigs do have a lifespan. Synthetic wigs can last anywhere between 3 months - 1 year depending on the quality of the synthetic fibers used, as well as how often you will be wearing it. Synthetic wigs are mostly machine made and can cause irritations to the scalp depending on your situation (ie: chemotherapy treatments leave the skin on the scalp feeling very sensitive) There are solutions for this such as cotton wig liners and caps to wear underneath your wig. High Quality Synthetic wigs however can last you much longer and look more natural and provide a more comfortable wear if they are handmade and made with softer materials on the inside of the cap. If you are looking or synthetic wigs try to look for fibers like kanekalon and heat resistant synthetics as these tend to look and feel more natural. The cheapest is synthetic hair made from Polyptolene. This type is not flame retardant so it should never be subjected to heat at any time. So keep these guidelines in mind when choosing your synthetic wig.
Human hair wigs are more resistant and their life span tends to be between 1 year to 4 years again depending on the quality and convection of the cap as well as how often and how they're being worn. A full lace wig that is being glued to the scalp every month will not last this long as the wear and tear causes the hair to fall out. A fully handmade cap with either a silk or mono top are usually the best in terms of them looking the most natural and them lasting the longest. The quality of human hair also depicts the life span of the wig. Further down I explain the different qualities of hair in more detail but a breath description is as follows. Processed human hair will not last as long as virgin human hair. Products that you use on your human hair wig can also diminish the life span of your wig ( shampoos, oils and other styling products depending on the quality of the hair) There are many products that should be used as a monthly regimen such as a knot sealer treatment which will lock the hair knots of the wig in place and will not cause hair to fall out of the wig. Ask these questions to your wig specialist as they should know what are the best products to be used on the wig to ensure it stay looking nice and healthy for the time that you will be wearing it. I also advice to service your wig with a professional for best results and to ensure a long life span of your wig.
Choosing the right wig:
First and foremost have an idea of your budget in mind and realize that the government has programs and tax reductions depending on your situation. ex: (alopecia and cancer) Once you have established your budget begin researching different wig stores in your area and focus on the different qualities they offer and the services they provide. It's not a good idea to purchase a wig from somewhere if they're unable to provide professional service and after care on your wig. Some places have a full salon for services and a team of experts in making wigs as well.
Once you have found a place the first consultation have an idea of what style and color you are interested in and try not to change your look too much if you're about to loose your hair because of cancer or alopecia as this will help you to feel comfortable in your wig because you have the sense of looking like yourself. A good wig stylist is able to procreate a human hair wig to look like your own hair and can also assist you in finding the perfect synthetic wig that resembles you. Most important factors to take in mind is the comfort of the fit and the length of the hair being good for your face shape.
The feeling of: It looks wiggy!:
After you have chose the right wig for you do not settle for a human hair wig that cannot be cut or styled as told by the professional who is selling it to you. A good quality human hair wig should be adjusted to your size as well as cut/styled on you for best results. There are many services that real wig professionals offer. A few of these services and factors are:
- Having your cap adjusted from the inside for a perfect fit. All of us have different head shapes and sizes. There all limits to what can be adjusted however most handmade caps are easy to adjust for you by a professional.
- The most important part of making a wig look natural is the haircut and the way it should fall to compliment your face. It is vital to have a professional who is trained in working with wigs to cut and style your wig for you. I've heard it all before too many times. '' I want to bring it to my hairdresser he/she is really good'' Yes i'm sure they are however this is a wig and not your own hair. The hair does not grow back ( it is not a chia pet) although no one can force you to service your wig at the wig shop you bought it from take in mind that once the wig is taken from the wig salon and brought to your own hairstylist certain warranties are then denied. Wigs are complex and there are certain rules and guidelines that are different compared to a normal haircut. Work with your Wig Stylist to achieve the look you want. It is not uncommon to start by an initial cut and living with it for a week or two and coming back for an additional cut and adjustment after you can assess what is bothering you about the wig than to cut everything all at once.
- The cap and construction of the wig will have a lot to do with how natural it will look on your head. A full handmade wig is the most natural it is lightweight and is multi directional meaning it can be parted how you like and can be styled back or forward depending on your preference. Machine made caps can be natural looking as well depending on the way the top of the wig is made. Most machine made caps offer a multi directional top part as well as a lace front for an even more natural look. A wig that is fully machine made is a lot harder to work with in achieving that natural hairline look as it is thicker in material and cannot be parted any different than how it is. Look for these keywords: Lace front, handmade, multi directional top part.
- Finally the quality of the hair is the most important factor when wanting your wig to look and feel very natural. The qualities of hair offered are endless. The most common qualities found in wig shops are: Natural Hair, Indian Hair, Brazilian Hair and European Hair. Some shops offer even higher quality wigs like Virgin European Hair or Virgin Russian Hair which are the best of the best. Reason being because these wigs are not made with processed hair, they're strong and the cuticles are aligned and the wig life is a lot longer than other wigs that have been processed by a series of different methods before entering the shop. Processed hair can mean a variety of different things such as the color was changed or the length of the hair was stretched out (this causes breakage). Common hair qualities that are over processed are Indian and Chinese hair, not to say that other hair qualities aren't processed but its the methods of these specific hair qualities that cause breakage and their look and feel are not as up to par as other hair qualities.
Wear your wig with confidence!:
So you chose your wig, you got it styled, cut and adjusted specifically for you now it is time to rock it with confidence! I strongly suggest taking baby steps. Wear your wig around the house, show it off to family and friends that understand and know about your situation and finally bring her out on the town! Start by wearing it while running your usual errands like at the grocery store etc, get comfortable with it. This will also allow you to assess what you love about the wig and what needs to be adjusted if anything. We all have the insecurity in our heads that people will notice that we are wearing one, most of the time they will think you have changed your hair color/style and honestly if you look in the mirror and like what you see and how it makes you feel that is what is most important. Looking and feeling good about ourselves has a huge effect on our body, mind and spirit. As simple as it may seem to others finally having hair on your head to boost your moral can make a world of difference while you continue to cope with whatever it is that you are going through.
Sending you readers positive vibes and wishing you all love,health and happiness.

TODAY: Putin G20 high-five with Saudi Prince raises eyebrows, pair agree to extend OPEC+ cooperation. Merkel presses Putin on Kerch Strait deescalation, Germany discussing reduced support for Nord Stream 2. Russia sealing up the Arctic. Georgian unrest following presidential elections is in Russia’s favour. State journalist caught filming at UK spy facility. Russian leaders mourn George HW Bush.
One of the press highlights of the weekend’s G20 summit was the enthusiastic high-five exchanged by President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (an enthusiasm shared by no other leader). One New York Times journalist called it “stomach-churning“. The pair discussed cooperation on rebalancing the oil market and announced that they will expand their existing deal into next year, prompting an immediate surge in prices. German President Angela Merkel is pushing for an avoidance of escalation in the Sea of Azov, urging Putin during their G20 meeting to stick to the 2003 treaty that grants access to Ukrainian ships. They agreed to further four-way discussions on the issue. Putin told G20 reporters that the time has not yet come to return the Ukrainian sailors and naval vessels that Russia seized in the Kerch Strait last week. He claims that the boats seized had threatened to blow up the Russian bridge. The incident has renewed German parliamentary debate over the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Merkel’s potential successor suggested that, whilst Germany would not go so far as to withdraw support, it could restrict Nord Stream’s gas flows. Major crises in Russia’s regional factory towns paint a truer picture of the economy than energy markets, reports the FT. “No money, no jobs, no hope.”
Russia is working on legislation to restrict the passage of foreign warships in the Arctic. Protests following the Georgian presidential elections are “exactly what Russia would have wished for”. A journalist for Russian state media was caught filming outside a British military cyberwarfare headquarters, prompting an alert. In a speech today, the head of MI6 will talk about Russia’s stance of “perpetual confrontation” with the West.
Russian leaders marked fondly the death of George HW Bush. Putin noted his work in strengthening Russian-US cooperation, and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev praised “the good memory of this outstanding man” in a personal note to his son. Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev marked Bush’s contribution towards the end of the Cold War and praised him as “a genuine partner”.

As marketeers it is always important to look for inspiration and insight from the world around us in order to truly understand what people want. And when it comes to customer loyalty, if there is any day of the year that shows just how important and valuable driving on-going loyalty is, it’s Valentine’s Day.
Every 14th February across the globe billions of people from all backgrounds try to find ways to show their wives, husbands, partners or desired partners just how much they mean to them and how much they want them in their lives. Some do it well, with thought and care and meaning behind every flower selected, every word of poetry written and every ounce of love they show. They care about this person, they want to make them happy, they want them to stay with them forever, and with this attitude they’ll carry that forward and show it not just for one day of the year but every day of the year.
And some people stop at the garage on the way home to pick up a bouquet of reduced flowers and a bag of Maltesers.
Those people treat it as another day and assume that a token gesture will be enough. In some cases it will, in some cases their partner might not even care about Valentine’s Day, but in a large number the lack of care and thought will lead to a frosty, unimpressed greeting and every chance the receiver of said gifts is downloading a dating app by the time they’ve polished off their sweet treat while their petrol station paramour tries to sleep on the sofa, comforted only by the loyalty points the received on their purchase…
What can we learn from this every 14th February? It’s simple – if you show a customer what they mean to you once a year with a token gesture, then it can end up backfiring and having the opposite effect, or at very best keep them happy for a brief window before they forget all about it. But if you put thought into how you show gratitude and appreciation to your customer base, if you plan ahead and think about what they want not just on the one day but year round, then you’ll reap the rewards.
We can see examples of this everywhere in the loyalty industry. Last year Barclays launched a range of new offers for their Blue Rewards and Premier customers, ranging from offers on days out to free and discounted memberships for a variety of lifestyle focused clubs, and have seen engagement and redemptions go from strength to strength with customers enjoying surprise and delight rewards from the likes of Merlin, Gruum, Krispy Kreme and our very own Dine Club. Furthermore, analysis of Antavo’s loyalty platforms found that the lifetime value of members who redeem personalised offers in a loyalty program is 4.5x that of customers who aren’t a member. Indeed, research shows that acquiring a new customer can cost 5x the amount that it costs to retain an existing one. That’s a lot of Maltesers.
It’s not just the raw stats that back it up either. 93.7% of industry professionals interviewed for the Global Customer Loyalty report agreed that customer loyalty should take precedence over customer acquisition in the current climate, and it’s never been more important to provide customers with on-going, sustained engagement as opposed to one-off, short term gifts designed to placate customers rather than engage them.
We’re always happy to have a chat about the most effective ways we find to engage with customers on an on-going basis to boost loyalty and engagement, so if you’d like some help then feel free to drop us an email to firstname.lastname@example.org
Unfortunately we can’t make sure your Valentine’s Day goes to plan, but remember even if it does there are 364 other days in the year where you should be looking to show your partner, and your customers, that you care. And if on-going customer loyalty isn’t for you then at least try to do better than petrol station flowers for your loved ones.
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!

Romney: No federal support for Common Core
During an interview on NBC’s Education Nation, Mitt Romney said that he doesn’t think the federal government should provide support—financial or otherwise—for common core standards. Instead, he thinks states alone should pony up the money for their implementation. Romney also discussed his stance on other education issues. Here is a transcript of President Obama’s interview for the program.
U.S. ED unveils $290 million in performance-pay grants
The U.S. Department of Education unveiled its fourth batch of Teacher Incentive Fund grants, a program that supports differentiated compensation systems. First, the program has expanded to include career ladders, whereby teachers get additional professional responsibilities, not just higher pay, as part of the programs. Second, grantees had to secure more support from teachers’ unions and others up front, rather than during a planning year.
Studies find payoff in ‘personalizing’ algebra
While “personalization” has become a buzzword in education, it can be hard to determine what really makes a subject relevant to individual children in the classroom. An ongoing series of studies at Southern Methodist University suggests learning students’ interests upfront and incorporating them into lessons can get struggling students to try harder and substantially improve their performance in algebra.

California limits role of student tests in API scores
California’s key measure of public school quality will be redefined to lessen the impact of standardized test scores under a bill signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Jerry Brown. The law, by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will broaden how the Academic Performance Index is calculated by limiting test scores to 60% for high schools and including graduation rates and other factors.

Happy 2012: Full Steam Ahead
As we take stock of 2011 and look to 2012, we ask ourselves: Are we closer to creating world-class schools for Delaware’s children?
For me the answer is clearly, “yes.” In fact, if Delaware’s public school system were a train, it would be moving at full steam. Why? In 2011, the state adopted higher standards, aka the Common Core Standards; launched a new, computer-adaptive student assessment system known as DCAS; piloted a new evaluation system for the state’s nearly 10,000 employees; made deep, historic investments in early childhood education, thanks to Governor Markell and our legislature, and earned another $50 million through the federal Early Learning Challenge Fund; managed a broad mix of new teacher and leader training models; and fully committed to transforming ten of the state’s highest-need schools.
The capacity needed to do all of this is immense. Secretary Lowery and the Delaware Department of Education, the governor’s office, and all educators statewide deserve a huge thank you for driving one of the most powerful periods of transformation our public schools have ever seen.
The people of Delaware should be genuinely proud of the work underway. No matter where I travel now, Delaware is clearly seen as a state to watch.
This said, my recent trip to Singapore and Shanghai, where I met 17-year-olds conducting research on Parkinson’s disease and elementary students speaking fluently in English about being “globally-prepared and future-ready,” reminded me that we need to stay humble. We have to realize that not only do we need to keep this train moving, but also to think about how we can build even better ways for our children to get from points A to B, ways that we may need to design from scratch.
The good news is that change is possible, many nations have made tremendous gains in the last decade, and I continue to believe that Delaware is as well-positioned as any state in the nation to be a proof point for how the U.S. can regain its international footing.
As I look to 2012, what do I hope we see to keep momentum going? Our main aspirations for the next year are that:
The state completes with quality…
- All of the RTTT commitments currently on its plate.
- Proactive policy decisions to sustain and grow the best of Race to the Top efforts (and let go of what does not work) before funding begins to dry up in 2014.
- Our state’s new educator evaluation system so that it can serve as a first big step toward a more inspired, professional career path for educators.
The state takes action on…
- Rethinking how we spend our limited education dollars because the “new normal” likely means we will need to do more with less.
- Finally moving away from our rigid, 70-year-old “unit count” system and toward one that is more flexible and fair.
- Expanding innovative school models that work (like the New Tech model at Seaford High, and Kuumba Academy Charter School) and reducing or stopping those that do not.
- Shifting what we are teaching to better align with students’ interests and our rapidly changing world (e.g. more Mandarin and next generation learning).
The people of Delaware have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do what’s right for today’s children and for those of generations to come. We are moving full steam ahead, but we have a lot of ground to cover, fast.
To keep moving at this pace will take all we can muster as a community. It will require a commitment to keep learning, to engage in debate, and to swallow our pride when necessary. Delaware’s secret sauce is that no one is looking to take credit. There is an unspoken agreement that it’s not about making a point, it’s about making things happen. Given the uncertainties this nation faces in 2012, my overriding hope is that this state, this community, can prove that change is possible. That we can prove that America can reinvent itself, once again.
With faith in and appreciation to all our partners, best wishes for a Happy New Year.

When the Wicked Witch meets Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz,” she demands the ruby red slippers the Kansas farm girl is wearing.
The Good Witch advises Dorothy otherwise. “Their magic must be very powerful or she wouldn’t want them so badly,” she says.
The Magnitsky Act is something like those ruby red slippers.
Originally passed by Congress in 2012 and named for the Russian accountant found dead in his jail cell after exposing fraud involving Russian officials, it authorized the president to block travel visas and freeze bank accounts of individual Russians deemed guilty of human-rights abuses.
In 2016 it was expanded so it could be applied to other human-rights abusers anywhere in the world. We know its power the same way we know about the power of Dorothy’s red slippers: The bad guys obsess about it.
Plainly Vladimir Putin hates it. His representatives bring it up to American officials or would-be American officials any chance they get. This includes the infamous election-year Trump Tower meeting Donald Trump Jr. attended in expectation of getting dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Now it’s the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who’s howling.
This past weekend he declared the Maginstky sanctions “disrespectful.” He did so after Donald Trump ordered them slapped on two senior Erdogan officials—his justice and interior ministers—for their roles in the arrest and detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who is no longer in prison but remains under house arrest.
Unlike previous presidents, Mr. Trump has elevated the cases of Americans unfairly locked up abroad. For the moment, Mr. Erdogan is resisting. Turkey, he says, has never “bowed our heads to such pressure” and never will.
Pastor Andrew Brunson, a fine gentleman and Christian leader in the United States, is on trial and being persecuted in Turkey for no reason. They call him a Spy, but I am more a Spy than he is. Hopefully he will be allowed to come home to his beautiful family where he belongs!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2018
On Saturday (8/04), Mr. Erdogan announced Turkey would be retaliating with sanctions on two unnamed Trump officials, probably the attorney general and the secretary of homeland security. This gesture is all but meaningless unless Jeff Sessions or Kirstjen Nielsen have financial assets in Turkey or are itching to travel there.
We’ll see whether Mr. Erdogan changes his mind, but it’s encouraging to see the Magnitsky Act invoked on behalf of our fellow citizens.
For today it isn’t just American trade that is global, it’s the American people. Though there are no hard figures on how many Americans live abroad, in 2016 the State Department reckoned it was at least nine million.
Add to this the millions more Americans who travel. Simply by being abroad, American citizens are more vulnerable to attack by terrorists or arbitrary arrest and detention by rogue regimes.
The best way the U.S. government can help keep them safe is to make clear through word and deed that messing with the liberty of an American carries a high price.
Unfortunately, up to now apprehending and mistreating Americans has cost most nations very little. Iran is one of the worst offenders. Though most of the U.S. citizens detained in Iran were freed after the 2015 nuclear deal with the Obama administration, there was a notable exception: Robert Levinson.
Secretary of State John Kerry failed to force Tehran to fess up about what happened to Mr. Levinson, a former FBI agent who went missing in Iran in 2007 while on a mission for the CIA.
When there are no consequences for arbitrarily throwing an American in jail, it creates an incentive for rogue regimes simply to take another American hostage whenever a new bargaining chip is needed.
So even as five hostages were freed after the nuke deal, Iran now has in custody Iranian-American businessman Siamak Namazi and his ailing, 81-year-old father, Baquer Namazi, a former Unicef representative. The elder Mr. Namazi was arrested when he returned to Iran to try to secure his son’s release. The family is hoping Mr. Trump will make good on his campaign promise not to allow Iran to get away with such outrageous behavior.
The most notorious case was North Korea’s detention of student Otto Warmbier. Mr. Warmbier had been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for trying to steal a propaganda poster. He was returned to the U.S. unconscious and unresponsive in June 2017 and died six days later. Since then, three other Americans held hostage in North Korea have been freed.
Amid the give and take of foreign policy, the plight of a single American can seem small and secondary. But not if it means abandoning a fellow American held overseas to the tender mercies of some thug government.
So good for President Trump for using the tools given to him by the Magnitsky Act on behalf of Pastor Brunson. If America First means anything, surely it means Americans First – a recognition that insisting on consequences for anyone who harms an innocent American abroad isn’t an act of charity.
It’s the foundation for a healthy U.S. foreign policy—and a much safer world. Thank you, Mr. President.

Since the rise of Auto Chess, the auto-battler genre rose in popularity along with it. From DotA Underlords to Teamfight Tactics, its easy-to-learn approach charmed players enough to stick around and get into the genre.
One of those players is Charlie Keane, the developer of the upcoming Auto-Battler roguelite game Supernova Tactics, a game you get if the Auto-Battler and Roguelite genres had a baby. We talked to Charlie, who goes by the nickname Ajido, about how the game came about, the challenges that came along with the development process, and more.
Roguelites.com (RLC): Hello roguemates! Cerebro here from Roguelites.com, and I’m with Charles Keane aka Ajido, developer of the Auto-Tactics Roguelite game Supernova Tactics. Hello Charlie, how are you today?
Ajido: I’m doing great, I really appreciate you taking the time to chat with me and discuss my upcoming game release.
RLC: The honor and privilege are all ours, that’s for sure!
Anyway, I referred to Supernova Tactics just now as an Auto-Tactics Roguelite. Is Auto-Tactics the proper term for games like Supernova Tactics? Because I’m not really sure what its subgenre is supposed to be called, if it already has an official subgenre classification, that is.
Ajido: I believe the first game of its kind was a custom game made inside the Dota 2 engine called Auto Chess. This spun off many games of a similar nature which I believe are typically referred to as Auto-Battlers. But Auto-Tactics has a cool ring to it!
RLC: Oh right, Auto-Battlers! How could I forget such a cool-sounding subgenre name?
Since you’ve mentioned Auto Chess, is that the game Supernova Tactics is inspired by, or are there other ones aside from it?
Ajido: To be honest, I’ve never played the original Auto Chess, but I did fall in love with some of the more popular titles to spin off from it, such as Teamfight Tactics and DotA Underlords. Those games were huge inspirations for the project.
RLC: Oh right! I managed to play Teamfight Tactics as well, but let’s just say I was straight-up doodoo! How about you, what’s your rank so far in TFT?
Ajido: I’ve reached the top rank of Challenger a few times, and even competed in a TFT esports event last year. I’ve also been Challenger in League of Legends for a few seasons, though I don’t really play the game as much anymore. I guess I’m a bit of a competitive gamer, which definitely influenced some of the game design decisions with Supernova Tactics.
RLC: Oh wow! I’ve delved into tournaments myself, but your accomplishments are pretty darn impressive!
Going back into Supernova Tactics, is this a solo project of yours, or do you have a group that helps you with its development?
Ajido: I worked on everything alone, though I don’t have any artistic skills so things like the 3D models and music you see and hear in the game were all purchased from talented folks and incorporated into the game. As an indie developer, you need to be a jack of all trades and be able to do a little bit of everything, it’s been an interesting journey.
Even for indie developers who have such skills, many will still purchase assets because it’s just too time-consuming to do absolutely everything on your own. You need to manage your time to the best of your ability.
RLC: I totally agree with what you said, especially with time management.
You’ve mentioned your journey from starting the game from scratch a few years ago to releasing the game on August 1, less than 3 weeks away. Tell me, what was the most difficult challenge that came up while developing the game?
Ajido: Initially, the biggest blocker was just a lack of technical skills. I started this project with the goal to learn how to use Unity, learn the process of developing a game, practice my coding, and maybe one day use the game as something of a portfolio to help me get a job. I wasn’t sure I’d actually finish, refine and release a full game but here we are.
After I became more comfortable with my technical skills, the game design portion of development became the larger challenge. How do I balance this? Is this fun? What changes should I make, what content should I add? I found implementing things to be somewhat simple once I came up with the idea I liked.
And finally, toward the end of the project, I decided to localize the game into a few different languages that make up the majority of Steam’s player base. The game is translated into Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, and German. This also added a new challenge because now anytime I wanted to add more content or text to the game, I needed to reach out and pay translators.
Also, the game was originally just named “Supernova” and was actually at first a tower defense game. I also experimented with making it a VR game since I owned an Oculus Rift, but ultimately it became what it is today, and I added “Tactics” to the name because it seemed fitting for the genre and is an homage to Teamfight Tactics.
RLC: Oh wow! Things might have been pretty different if you took the Tower Defense route!
Since you’ve mentioned VR, do you have plans of integrating that into the game in future updates?
Ajido: I ended up selling my VR headset, so probably not haha. But I do feel the VR space is really exciting to develop for, both because the technology is just very cool and the market isn’t totally flooded with games yet.
RLC: I agree! While VR is a bit of a niche market right now, the boom potential is there.
Anyway, I’ve gone through the first-hour playthrough of Supernova Tactics (we’ll post the video of that soon, so stay tuned!) and I saw an inkling of that VR mode in a mode in the game called “Explore”. That was pretty interesting, and I think if you delve into VR in the future, the explore mode is a great starting point.
The other thing I experienced while playing the game is that I died pretty early in my runs. I usually died in Round 3, but I believe there also was a time I even died in Round 2! While I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m not good with auto-battler games, other players might be on the same boat as me or even worse, they might be complete beginners in the genre that might get discouraged when they lose very early on.
All that said, I’d like to know how the game would cater to those people who are not that great at auto-battlers or even complete beginners.
Ajido: There is a tutorial by default that should help new players get situated, it explains the process of buying and upgrading your units, and suggests how to best position them to protect your General, who must survive or the game will end. The first shop that you’re offered is always the same and contains 3 of the same units, which will upgrade it to a two-star. They also both have the Bulwark trait which gives them and your whole team Armor to help them survive, they’re basically a good starter team to add to your board.
RLC: Ahh, that’s great! I guess me skipping the tutorial is why I keep on losing very early hahaha! NEVER SKIP THE TUTORIALS, PEOPLE!
Ajido: I’m guilty of that myself, and it’s why I tried to design the tutorial to be as non-invasive as possible. Many of the tutorial pop-up messages occur while the round is in progress. And since this is an Auto-Battler where you as the player aren’t too busy during the round, it seemed like a good time to read a tutorial message.
RLC: Ahh, gotcha. Aside from that, any other advice you could give us in terms of which units to buy or some sort?
Ajido: In each playthrough of Supernova Tactics, 10 random units are designated as “Elites” for that run. This means at collecting 3, 6, and 9 of them they gain bonuses stats and/or effects. For example, a unit’s spell ability cannot critically strike by default, but when upgrading the unit to a high enough Elite tier they may unlock that bonus. Elites are balanced in such a way that you should never feel like you have to use them, but it’s more so along the line of “Hmm, I wouldn’t normally want to play this unit but in this situation, I’m in it may be a good fit due to the Elite bonus”. It’s a mechanic to make each run play and feel different, and to give the player more choices.
RLC: Wow, that is some pretty advanced stuff! I’ll keep that in mind in my future runs!
Ajido: The Elite mechanic is also tied to how the player wins the game. It is sort of like a Pokemon “gotta catch ’em all” play style where you must fully upgrade those 10 units to “Elite 3”, which basically means find 9 of each of them. Each playthrough of Supernova Tactics is sort of two game modes built into one. Initially, the player is trying to achieve a “Fastest Win”, which means collecting them all with a lower round number. After you win though, you can continue your playthrough to achieve a “Highest Round” survived.
There are Steam leaderboards for both Fastest Wins, and Highest Round achieved, for each of the 3 difficulties and two game modes. A total of 12 leaderboards to compete on.
RLC: I like the implementation of the Leaderboards so people can compete with other players. We’ll see a lot of fantastic players get on that scoreboard in no time!
Anyway, so the game has a release date of August 1 this year. Once it has been released, what’s on the horizon for Supernova Tactics?
Ajido: I’ve had some ideas for new content I would like to add to the game. These would be free updates, not paid DLC or anything like that. The two main things I wanted to add were unlockable Generals, and then the player can choose which one they want to use for their run. The choice of General would have a major impact on how the player plays out their run. One of my favorite games is Faster Than Light, so choosing a General would be akin to playing different ships in that game, where some ships might be focused on heavy weaponry, others using drones, boarding parties, etc. And then there are a couple of new game modes I would like to add in as well.
RLC: How nice of you to mention FTL, that one was a banger for sure!
Ajido: That game was also a big inspiration, I really liked how each playthrough felt different, and sometimes runs just went bad fast, while other playthroughs could be great ones.
RLC: I agree! I’ve also spent a lot of hours playing FTL. Fun times!
Anyway, we’ve reached the end of our interview. Before we end, do you have any final words or shoutouts?
Ajido: This was a lot of fun, thank you again for taking the time to chat with me about Supernova Tactics. I hope you and your viewers will enjoy the game!
As mentioned in the interview, Supernova Tactics will be launching on August 1, and to hype up the release even further, Ajido has prepared a trailer for the game.

Former Roma midfielder and current Italian national team assistant coach Daniele De Rossi is a candidate for a head coaching vacancy in Serie A.
The 39 year-old has been linked with a host of clubs since his retirement in January of last year but he still remains on Roberto Mancini’s staff with the Azzurri—though this could change soon.
Both Sky Sport and La Gazzetta dello Sport report Sampdoria are considering appointing De Rossi as the replacement of the recently sacked Marco Giampaolo. The club reportedly has the Roman on their shortlist along with Claudio Ranieri, Roberto D’Aversa, Dejan Stankovic, and Aurelio Andreazzoli.
Through eight rounds, the Ligurian side currently sit bottom of the Serie A table with 0 win, 2 draws, and 6 losses.
The team has struggled on both ends of the pitch, conceding 16 goals and scoring only 4 goals so far this season.

Roma boss Jose Mourinho was interviewed by Sky Sport on the eve of the Giallorossi’s crucial return leg with Helsinki. The Portuguese technician spoke about the capital club’s injury woes which have contributed to Roma’s form this season.
“When we’re talking about our progress and tomorrow night’s match, which team are we talking about? The team that we have on paper or that we have on the pitch? They are different.”
“On paper we have Wijnaldum and Dybala – just to name two – that’s one thing. Tomorrow will be something else entirely. In midfield we will have available: Cristante, Bove, Faticanti, Camara. Completely different story compared to Wijnaldum, Matic and Pellegrini.”
“Napoli loss? We don’t need a reaction. We need to win tomorrow, we know that. Cold is normal, forget the pitch. We had a good game against Real Betis, then two difficult games after that. Obviously we have problems as a team, we’re missing a few players.”
“Camara? He played very well against Napoli,” Mourinho said of the club’s latest signing from Olympiakos.

Yesterday I had cause to think about how it is that sometimes we only see what we expect to see or hear.
Let me tell you a story about what my daughter refers to as ‘Man-looking’.
Her husband calls from the kitchen “where’s the marmalade?” She replies from the lounge “in the cupboard, where it always is”. “No it isn’t!” he shouts back. “Are you really looking – or are you Man-looking”? She goes into the kitchen, opens the cupboard and takes out the jar of marmalade that was right at the front of the shelf. “How can you expect me to see that? It is a different brand! I wasn’t looking for that”.
This little story is only analogy to what I’m talking about, but it got your attention! We do only hear and see what we expect to hear and see.
Our thoughts and feelings cause us to vibrate at a very unique and particular frequency and due to the law of attraction we are only able to receive things on a similar vibrational frequency. It’s like you tuning your radio to 98.4 FM and then trying to listen to a programme on 104.FM. You can’t do it. You can only receive what is on your wavelength.
Have you ever gone back to a book you read a few years previously? I dip in and out of my books all the time. And I’m sometimes stunned at what I find in them on the second or third reading. When I read those same words – the words I’ve carefully underlined in pencil to make them stand out, I suddenly have a completely different concept of their meaning and a different world opens up for me. I’ve changed, re-tuned my frequency to a higher vibration and now I can see more than I did before.
And it is the same with life.
(PS I wonder if any of you noticed an ‘interesting’ word that I slipped into the story? It is ‘expect’. Expectation is such an important part of creation. I have such a wonderful story to tell you about expectation – maybe next week?)

A Good Workout in the Hills West of Portland
If you’re looking for a day ride that’s a bit more strenuous than the Springwater Corridor or Sauvie Island, but want to avoid the stress of traffic-heavy roads, check out the Banks-Vernonia Rail Trail. It offers nice towns, great scenery, some elevation changes, and even multiple options for camping.
Official Site: Oregon State Parks
Ride Type: Out-and-Back
The Official map
From Portland, take US-26 west. After about 21 miles, the divided highway will end. Stay on US-26 another mile, then turn left onto Banks Rd. In 2 miles, you’ll approach Main St. The trail starts at the intersection. There is parking on both sides of Banks Rd.
There is no easy way to cycle or take public transit to reach this trail. If you must, it’s possible to take the MAX Blue Line train to Hillsboro then either cycle to Banks (about 15 miles) or take a bus. I recommend driving out there (if possible) and saving your cycling miles for the trail.
Navigating this ride is as easy as it gets – just follow the trail. Since the Banks-Vernonia Rail Trail is an out-and-back ride, the distance is up to you. There are several possible start points, but Banks is the easiest. Stop whenever you want and head back.
The Whole Trail (42 miles – Round Trip):
If you ride the whole trail, you’ll start at the trailhead in Banks and end in the center of Vernonia. The trail is nice the whole way and there are bike-friendly places to stop for a snack or lunch in Vernonia.
tophill Trail-Head to Vernonia (17 Miles – Round Trip):
If you want a milder day ride, with less distance and climbing, consider driving to the parking area at Tophill Trailhead. It’s right on the Nehalem Highway.
Terrain and Conditions:
- The entire trail is off-road – no cars!
- The entire trail is paved, but there is substantial asphalt deterioration in spots, as well as some rough bridge-asphalt transitions. Ride with care!
- There are a few road crossings where you might encounter loose gravel.
- Usually rail trails are flat. Don’t be fooled. On this ride, you are always either climbing or descending. The grade rarely gets above 3%, but it’s steady.
- The total climb if you do the entire ride is just under 2500 ft. For comparison, the Springwater Corridor climb is about 700 ft if you ride to Gresham and back.
- As you can see from the elevation profile, after leaving Banks there is a steady climb of about 700 ft over six miles. Of course, the coast back down is a lot of fun.
- There are some sharp switchbacks and steeper short climbs (up to 11% grade) near the midpoint at the Tophill Trailhead.
The city of Vernonia allows camping at three of it’s parks: Andersen Park, Vernonia Lake, and Nehalem River Park. Get more info at HERE. Camp sites are also available at LL Stub Stewart State Park near the mid-point of the trail.
Just the scenery along trail is enough to justify the trip, but there are also a few worthwhile stops along the way.
You’ll pass farms fields, forest, and hills. Enjoy the view.
Banks (Pop. 2000):
Banks is a small town, surrounded by hills and farms. You can find a few shops and restaurants on Main Street, including Hop Cycle Brewing Company, who left a flyer on our car window – smart marketing. I had a flight to catch, so we didn’t have time to stop, but it looks like a good place to grab a beer and sandwich after a ride. Given the name, it must be bike-friendly, right?
LL Stub Stewart State Park:
About 10 miles north of Banks, the trail passes through the 1800 acre LL Stub Stewart State Park, which offers multiple recreation options, including 25 miles of hiking trails and an 18-hole disc-golf course. If you forgot your discs, the website says you can buy them at the Visitor’s Center.
A variety of camping options are available, from primitive backcounty tent sites to affordable rustic cabins.
Vernonia (Pop. 2200):
The trail ends in the small, tidy town of Vernonia. It has an attractive commercial strip (Bridge St.) with numerous shops, restaurants, and biker bars. Apparently Vernonia is popular with riders of both pedal- and motor-driven two-wheelers.
We settled in for lunch at The Black Iron Grill. They have a nice outdoor seating area with a bike rack visible from the tables, so you don’t even need to lock up. The menu includes a good selection of burgers, sandwiches, and salads, with some vegetarian options.
Another option is to grab some picnic supplies at the grocery and find a place to sit near the Nehalem River in Andersen Park.

The Royal Free Charity has lent a portrait of Flora Murray, trailblazing doctor and suffragette, to a Scottish museum as part of the commemorations in her home town to mark the centenary of her death.
The portrait will form the centrepiece of an exhibition at Dumfries Museum to celebrate the legacy of the Scottish medic who last year became the first woman to be depicted on a Scottish bank note.
Dr Flora Murray was born in Dumfries in 1869 and was among the first women in England to complete medical training at the Royal Free Hospital at a time when there were significant restrictions on women practising medicine and surgery.
Her partner, Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson, was also a physician and suffragette, and together they paved the way for women in medicine and the fight for women’s rights. The charity has also loaned its portrait of Dr Garrett Anderson to the exhibition.
Jon Spiers, chief executive of the Royal Free Charity, said: “It’s an honour for us to loan these portraits of Dr Flora Murray and Dr Louisa Garrett Anderson for this important exhibition. We’re delighted to have such a wonderful opportunity to share their stories and celebrate their legacy.
“The Royal Free Hospital has a long and proud tradition of leading the way, so it’s no coincidence that the history of the hospital overlaps with the remarkable stories of Flora and Louisa: trailblazers, pioneers and innovators.”
With the onset of World War I in 1914, Dr Murray and Dr Garrett Anderson founded the feminist organisation ‘Women’s Hospital Corps’ and opened two military hospitals in France, staffed entirely by women. The hospitals were such a success that in 1915, the British War Office invited them to set up a hospital in London for returning soldiers. This became the Endell Street Military Hospital. The hospital treated more than 26,000 seriously injured soldiers.

The Royal Free Charity owns and curates the art collection on display across the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. Its portrait of Dr Murray, by British artist Francis Dodd, is the image that appears on the £100 banknote unveiled by the Bank of Scotland last year.

What You Need to Know About CASINO GAMES
During the 1990s, casino operators began to make use of computers and video cameras to supervise gaming. “Chip tracking” (gambling chips with built-in microcircuitry) allows casinos to monitor wagers minute by minute. Roulette wheels are also regularly monitored for statistical deviations. Some casinos now offer enclosed versions of games where players push buttons to make bets. This eliminates the need for dealers and increases convenience for players.
A popular casino game is the slot machine, but it doesn’t have to be played in a casino. It can be played outside of a casino. The casino is a place where people can drink alcohol, socialize, and enjoy the atmosphere of the establishment. But that doesn’t mean that all gambling is illegal. Whether it’s online or offline, online casinos are still legal, so you don’t need to be a gambler to play.
Some people choose to spend time in a casino because of the variety of games they can play. Some of the most popular games are slot machines, blackjack, poker, roulette, and other casino favorites. Other games include fan-tan, keno, and baccarat. In addition to slot machines, there are also other games that are popular with local communities. In Australia, for example, two-up is a popular game. In France, the boule is common, while in Britain, kalooki is a popular game.
There are many reasons to visit a casino. The atmosphere is upscale, and gambling is a popular form of relaxation. If you’re looking for a way to unwind, there’s no better place to go than a casino. It’s a great way to pass the time without spending money. There’s a chance of winning or losing, and you won’t have to worry about it if you don’t win or lose.
While most types of casino games are addictive, there are also some that are just plain fun. In addition to interacting with other players, they also provide an environment conducive to alcohol consumption. The casino is designed to create a fun environment for the gamblers, and many people are addicted to this type of gambling. The only way to avoid this is to play responsibly and avoid gambling with a high-stakes bankroll.
In addition to casino card games, a casino also offers a wide variety of other games. While the slots are the most popular, there are also many other games. These can range from dice and poker to poker. Some of these games are more realistic than others, and can be played outside of a casino. However, if you’re serious about playing these games, you’ll probably want to find an online casino that offers these types of games.
The other casino games available at a casino include blackjack and roulette, as well as keno, roulette, and poker. Besides these, there are other types of games like bingo and keno. These are just some of the more popular casino games, so you’ll probably find them in any casino. A lot of the games at a casino vary in skill level and the house edge, but they are all fun to play.

dissolved by 11,000 pages
By Ludo Vrebos, based on the books by Jozef Rulof.
By reading the 11,000 pages of the books by Jozef Rulof, ‘death’ transforms into eternal life.
Illustration: Death presented as mother. The symbolism of this painting received by Jozef Rulof will be explained later in this article.
Our eternal life
By means of the totality of knowledge about life after death, recorded in the 11,000 pages of the books by Jozef Rulof, death cannot continue to exist for the reader who feels this knowledge to be true.
Death dissolves step by step and makes way for a spiritual continued existence in a conscious hereafter.
These books go beyond the so-called ‘resting in the grave’.
They take us to our eternal life, first in consecutive lives on earth, and then in the conscious hereafter.
Fear or happiness
By reading the books by Jozef Rulof, the fear of death disappears, if this has been formed by ignorance.
However, if that fear is the result of experiencing a dreadful deathbed in a previous life, the reading will probably not be able to remove all the fear.
The reading can however give another perspective.
Because the word ‘death’ can be replaced by words such as ‘continuing and evolution’.
Yes, even by the word ‘happiness’, because death brings the blissful unity with our departed loved ones and finally with our twin soul, the soul which belongs to us for eternity.
Belief in death
For anyone who is firmly convinced that no life after death exists, it will be difficult to convince him in the hereafter that he has died on earth.
When he awakes in the spiritual world, he thinks that he still lives on earth.
After all, he is alive, he can feel, think and perceive, so for his feeling he is not dead.
When other inhabitants try to get him to see that he has died on earth, he usually does not believe them and thinks that they are crazy.
In the past, the ‘belief in death’ even grew into the ‘last judgement’ for a number of people.
These people believe that the deceased person must lie and wait in the grave until the day that God calls all the deceased to life and judges whether they can go to heaven.
When the people who believe in this get to hear after their death that they have already ‘risen’ and that they are already in the hereafter with their spiritual body, they find it very difficult to accept that they are no longer lying in the grave waiting for the judgement.
To a new life
The painting above was received by Jozef Rulof as a medium.
Death is illustrated here by a mother who takes central place in the painting.
Just as a mother gives birth to new life, death also ensures a new life for the old man on the left.
Death is the gateway to a new life in the hereafter, or on earth.
That new life is illustrated by the girl on the right.
Death ensures that the old man can discard his old body and that the man receives a new young body by reincarnating.
In this way, death does not signify an end, but a new step in the eternal evolution of the soul.
Many people have already received a glimpse of death by means of their near-death experience.
By means of their leaving their body they experience that they can see, feel and think outside of their body.
