US Attorney General Bill Barr, in a letter dated 1 December, notified the Senate and House Judiciary Committees that he had appointed US attorney John Durham to be US Special Counsel two weeks prior to the 3 November presidential election, as a means of continuing an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe under the next administration, Fox News has reported on Tuesday, citing an obtained letter.
"On May 13, 2019, I directed John Durham, US Attorney for the District of Connecticut, to investigate certain intelligence and law-enforcement activities surrounding the 2016 presidential election", Barr, a Trump appointee, wrote. "Although I had expected Mr. Durham to complete his work by the summer of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as additional information he uncovered, prevented him from doing so".
In 2019, Durham was reportedly tasked to determine whether intelligence collection alleged to have been practiced on Trump, as well as the entire investigation, had been "lawful and appropriate".
"In advance of the presidential election, I decided to appoint Mr. Durham as a Special Counsel to provide him and his team with the assurance that they could complete their work, without regard to the outcome of the election", Barr wrote, emphasizing that Durham was appointed with “the powers and authority of a Special Counsel” on 19 October.
According to documents also obtained by Fox News, as a Special Counsel, Durham will be "authorized to investigate whether any federal official, employee, or any other person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence, or law-enforcement activities directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, individuals associated with those campaigns, and individuals associated with the administration of President Donald J. Trump, including but not limited to Crossfire Hurricane and the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III".
Under US law, Durham's investigation should result in a "confidential report" that must be submitted to the Attorney General, as well as "such interim reports as special counsel deems appropriate in a form that will permit public dissemination".
Durham was reportedly experiencing significant pressure during the summer months and likely decided to wrap the active inquiry up after the election. His investigation continued soon after election day.
"Durham remains full steam ahead", Fox News quoted a source claiming to be familiar with the situation.
The investigation led by Durham has so far resulted only in former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith being accused of altering an email related to the surveillance of a former Trump campaign aide. After that, the Durham team went silent, reportedly due to not completing several lines of investigation believed by some to be "critical", according to reports.
In an exclusive interview to Fox News in October, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Trump appointee John Ratcliffe, said that he believed he would see more indictments, after Durham resumed his investigation. Ratcliff's assertions were reportedly based on "intelligence" he claimed that he had access to, some of which provided by the DNI himself.
"I think there will be more indictments", Ratcliffe said at the time. "Based on the intelligence I have access to, I certainly believe there should be. At my direction, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has now provided almost 1,000 pages of materials to the Department of Justice in response to Mr. Durham’s document requests. I will continue to ensure the Intelligence Community’s responsiveness to the Department of Justice's requests".
The Trump-Russia investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and purported collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign officially concluded in 2019 with the so-called Mueller Report. The report noted that investigators found no solid evidence to prove that Trump or his associates committed a crime. The report also did not conclude that Trump engaged in obstruction of justice during the investigation. Russia has repeatedly dismissed the accusations of its "interference" in the US electoral system.

Addax Petroleum Corp., based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has taken a one-third interest in the Sangaw North production sharing contract in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The purchase price comprises the reimbursement of Sterling’s past costs as well as funding the seismic campaign and the drilling of the first exploration well. The area is about 80km SE of the Taq Taq field, a joint venture between Addax and the Turkish Cukurova Group. The Sangaw North licence covers 492sq/km, with a number of surface oil seeps and an exploration well scheduled to be started in mid-2009. The production sharing contract is subject to an assignment to Korean National Oil Corp. which would reduce the Addax interest to 26.67%. Additionally, the Kurdistan regional government has the right to acquire a one-quarter stake in the property, which would further reduce Addax’s holding to 20%. Oil-company deals with the Kurdish government are deemed illegal by Iraq’s central government, but continue regardless.

ash’s review published on Letterboxd:
The training wheels on LMM’s directing are very evident but the heart, passion, and admiration that bleeds through every frame of this film is so special that it’s easy to ignore the extremely rough edges. I understand why people are coining this as ‘Black Panther for theatre kids,’ but that feels super redundant and wrongly implies there’s an exclusivity required to enjoy this film, especially when it’s theatricality is one of its biggest and most appealing strengths. Garfield’s performance is one most actors would kill to pull off, he’s absolutely incredible and this is easily one of the best performances of his career. Really hope this doesn’t make me a LMM stan now.

Acclaimed by health care professionals around the world, VacuTherapies™ are used to stimulate arterial and venous blood flow along with lymphatic circulation. The vacuum lifts and releases rigid soft tissue, as well as scars, adhesions and restrictions. By clearing
debris, creating drainage, and easing limited movement, these incredibly effective techniques relieve pain and enable the body’s return to homeostasis to promote healthier tissue.
What is the Difference of Massage Cupping and MediCupping?
Massage Cupping-Massage cupping bodywork is based on the common practice of Chinese cupping therapy, and the incredible results that this simple treatment produces have truly impressed those who experience it’s subtle power. By creating suction and negative pressure Massage Cupping therapy is used to soften tight muscles and tone attachments, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissue, bring hydration and blood flow to body tissues, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.
MediCupping -Using MC-600 MediCupping™ Machine. This therapy utilizes a machine with glass or plastic cups to create suction on the body surface. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques while gently pulling up on the cup, or are parked for a short time to facilitate joint mobilization or soft tissue release. This suction reaches deep into the soft tissue, attachments and organs and also has a sedating effect on the nervous system. Another benefit is to pull inflammation and toxins from the body tissues so that the skin and lymphatic system can readily eliminate them. Scar tissue often releases quickly, despite the age of the injury or keloid tendencies.
MediCupping differentiates itself from Massage Cupping and other cupping therapies through:
1.) The ability of the machine to control the vacuum and the release of tissue. This unique feature produces a “fine-tuning” of the technique that produces a substantial increase in results. Client and practitioner share the excitement of rapid, measurable progress and shifts in condition.
2.) The equipment performs the techniques while you concentrate on the movements. No more distraction of the gun or pump. The medical level model is so versatile that a technician can be easily trained to program and perform prescribed treatment protocols.
3.) MediCupping equipment has a advantage over manual vacuum equipment. Results are easy to document through regulation of equipment settings and successful results are achieved due to the consistency of application. The equipment is fun to use, versatile, and provides a valuable tool for supporting physicians and patients through medical and surgical procedures.
To effectively add Medicupping therapy to you toolbox, it is essential to have thorough training and experience. Those who are Certified Massage Cupping Practitioners and working with manual cupping sets will integrate the mechanized equipment into their practice with ease, and novices quickly become proficient with proper training. A great way to integrate vacuum therapies into your service menu is to start with the manual equipment to build your skills and client acclaim, then graduate to the machine
Therapists who have explored the use of vacuum therapies in bodywork have found that the addition of suction and lifting to other massage techniques has produced radical changes for clients and for themselves. One of the most amazing aspects of this technique is the “separation” that the vacuum produces in tissue layers. This enables water absorption and renewed blood flow to undernourished and dehydrated tissue and the elimination of old waste and congestion. It has become evident that separation and drainage of fused, congested soft tissue produces an increase in tissue and systemic function and is a great catalyst for change in health.
Workshops are available. As an Educator Stacie Nevelus LMT, CMCE is willing to travel for class sizes of 10-12.

How do the coaches and general manager of a sports team go about making the team better? Among other things, they study different kinds of statistics and performance metrics. Performance metrics allow coaches to hold individual players accountable for improving areas where they are deficient. They also inform them what skills their team needs to practice. In addition, they enable the team’s general manager to learn where the team needs improvement. For example, if the team is fantastic on offense but its defensive numbers aren’t great, they can seek to add a player to the team who is strong on defense.
Statistics and performance metrics play an integral role in effectively managing any system, whether it's a sports team or a digital asset management (DAM) program. However, not all measurements are equal. The world is full of “vanity” statistics, or those that look great on paper but offer very little actionable information. Just like a good coach who wants to get the most out of their players and practices, you must identify metrics that provide real value to your organization. These statistics are often called key performance indicators, or KPIs. KPIs are different in each industry and situation, but identifying and tracking them effectively will revolutionize the way you manage and govern your DAM system.
Just as in sports, statistics and performance metrics can’t capture everything you need to know, but they can provide valuable information your team can reference quickly. In addition to KPIs, you must also develop relationships with DAM stakeholders and end-users, SMAART goals, and documented standards and workflows in order for your DAM system to be effective.
Identifying and Measuring Key Performance Indicator
How do you differentiate key performance indicators from “vanity” metrics? To start, look at your goals. The goals you’ve created for your DAM system should be measurable and time-sensitive, with clear parameters for success. Given that, what statistics allow you to easily determine if you're on the right track or not? Which help identify problems or the reasons you’re successful?
There is another important factor to consider when identifying KPIs. Your metrics may line up with your goals and help diagnose problems, but if you can't evaluate and visualize them, they won't be useful. KPIs must be measurable and easy to read and understand. They should be organized into dashboards that can be used by your team as well as for presentations to other teams and management. Dashboards allow you to both clearly communicate your needs to manage and hold your team accountable for making needed improvements. To make visualization easier, set a target or range for each KPI that defines its success. If your metric lands in that range, make it green!
Example of Developing a Key Performance Indicator
Suppose your business goal is to cut the length of your organization’s sales cycle in half by the end of June. You’ll need to know the average time clients spend in the sales cycle to determine whether or not you are on track, diagnose problems, and communicate actionable insights to your team. What is the best way to do this?
First, leverage the tools already at your disposal. Most customer relationship management (CRM) systems have reporting capabilities. Check whether yours has data your team can easily use to develop key performance indicators for your sales cycle. For example, let’s assume your CRM tool has data on the number of days that each of your clients is in each stage of your sales cycle. After accumulating the data for your last three clients, whether through a script or manually, your chart looks like this:
Besides using a chart, you can also visualize your data by graphing it. Graphs make it simple to understand numbers and diagnose causes of statistics outside your optimal range. Below, we’ve provided a graph of the above data so you can compare it to the chart.
By reviewing the graph, your team can quickly see that Step 2 in the sales process is the best place to start shortening the sales cycle. You can then determine what happens in that step and how to improve your processes. Once your data is visualized and understandable, decide how often you want to update and review it. Regularly review your statistics and compare them to one another to ensure your goal is on track!
5 Key Performance Indicators for DAM
When it comes to digital asset management, there are a few key performance indicators that apply to most industries and tend to provide valuable insights. Below, we provide information on five of these important KPIs for DAM.
1. Popular Downloads and Tags
One of the key things to identify when managing digital assets is your most valuable assets. A small group of assets, or particular asset types, often holds a significant percentage of the total value in a library. Track what assets are downloaded by whom to find this “priority” group. This will help you know what kinds of assets to continue to produce and which to stop creating. Additionally, monitor which metadata tags are the most searched for and applied in your library. This offers even more details about what shoots, time periods, and uses your popular assets are related to.
2. Searches without Results
If one of the goals of your organization is to reduce the amount of time it takes to locate a specific asset, track how many keyword searches produce zero results. This statistic allows your team to monitor your progress over time in achieving that goal. It also helps your team diagnose problems. If search time is high, but results are low, perhaps your folder structure is complicated and employees have a hard time navigating it. If both search time and results are high, you may need to invest in tagging some of your assets with metadata or standardize your organization’s controlled vocabulary to make it easier to find particular assets.
3. Assets without Metadata
Adding metadata keywords to your assets in a standardized way can make a huge difference in the searchability of your library. Throughout this effort, track the number of assets without metadata in your DAM system. Hopefully, the number will decrease and stay low. However, if the number rises following your initial round of tagging, you may need to hold your creators or uploaders more accountable for tagging assets as they’re moved into your library.
4. Most shared Assets
Many organizations have external partners, vendors, and clients they share assets with. If this is your situation, track the assets you share with these external parties. This information allows you to identify what kinds of assets are most important to your partners and clients so you can focus on creating the most valuable kinds of content for them.
5. Monthly, Weekly, or Daily Asset Requests
Along with tracking which assets are downloaded and shared most, it’s beneficial to know how often assets are requested and by whom. With this information, you’ll know what groups within your organization use which assets. You can then tune your system and standards to meet the needs of your end-users more effectively.
Every organization is different and has some unique key performance indicators. Take the time when developing your goals and objectives to decide how they’ll be tracked and visualized, how regularly you'll pull statistics, and from where. If you need help in this process, contact Stacks today!

- Oil and gas E&P companies may cut capex
- Rail staffing could impact coal deliveries to power plants
- Mexican steel industry expects stability for flat steel prices
- Comments due for New York State Electric & Gas' proposed electric rate increase
E&P companies seem to be getting antsy about the outlook for the oil and gas industry in 2023 -- right in the middle of their budget planning season for the year to come.
Upstream producers were a bit more pessimistic in the most recent Dallas Fed survey due to increasing costs, supply chain delays and difficulty getting work crews.
Some analysts see these concerns, combined with oil price declines, as possibly driving E&P companies to cut capital expenditures.
Coal deliveries to US power plants could continue to face rail service impacts due to worker shortages.
Amid high inflation and low unemployment rates, a Union Pacific spokesperson said their candidate pool has shrunk significantly.
The Mexican steel industry expects some stability for flat steel prices for the last quarter of the year, after prices tumbled about 40% in the past four months amid increased domestic supply and poor demand.
Rebar prices may also continue to fall amid tepid construction demand and fierce competition among mills.
Oct. 3 is the deadline to submit comments to the New York Public Service Commission regarding New York State Electric & Gas' proposed electric rate increases.
The utility says the rate increases will reduce power outages and accommodate more distributed energy sources, as well as allow for new infrastructure and the transition to clean energy.

Overview: A relatively flat, 12-mile ride along Crystal Springs Reservoir, with views of Skyline Boulevard
Distance: 12 miles round trip
Elevation change: 600 ft
Biking time: 1.5 hours
Season: All year. The trail can get quite crowded on nice days, so head out early.
Getting there: Take the Black Mountain Road exit from I-280, turning left going north and right if you’re going south. Turn left on Skyline Boulevard and take it south to where it intersects with Crystal Springs Boulevard. The trailhead is on your right.
Parking lot address:
Skyline Boulevard & Crystal Springs Road, San Mateo, CA 94401. Parking is available on Skyline Boulevard.
Managing agency: San Mateo County Parks
Trail map: View online
Bike Ride Description: The Sawyer Camp Trail used to be the main route between San Francisco and Half Moon Bay. It’s named after Leland Sawyer, who ran a camp for wagon parties headed to the coast. Today it’s a popular paved recreational trail open to walkers, runners and cyclists. Unfortunately, dogs aren’t allowed on this trail so you’ll have to leave your furry friends at home (check out other dog-friendly trails here).
Start from the south end of the trail and follow it north along Crystal Springs Reservoir. The twists and turns in the path slow you down a little, but you’ll have more time to appreciate the stunning views of the reservoir and a wall of trees on the opposite bank leading up to the Skyline.
At 3.5 miles there’s a rest stop on your left with a bathroom and some picnic tables. You’ll also pass the Jepson Laurel, the oldest and largest bay laurel tree in California. It’s over 600 years old! Take a break here to appreciate the shade offered by this giant tree, or save it for the way back and continue along the trail into a wooded section tucked away from the reservoir.
At mile 5 you’ll encounter an uphill section of trail, so gear down before you make your way up to the Crystal Springs Dam for a view of the upper reservoir and the San Andreas Fault stretching out to your right.
One last uphill push will take you to mile 6, where there’s a marker to show where Don Gaspar de Portolá, the first European to encounter the San Francisco Bay, camped during his expedition. Soon, this trail will be part of the 90-mile Ohlone-Portolá Heritage Trail, which will follow the route he took and focus on the native Ohlone people of the region.
If you want to add another few miles to your ride, follow Skyline Boulevard for .6 miles to where it connects with the San Andreas Trail. Otherwise, come back the way you came, making sure to take in the views and stopping for a water break on one of the well-positioned benches. Enjoy!

Long-serving UASU chairman Muga K’Olale resigns ahead of polls
Professor Muga K'Olale the long serving chairman of the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) resigned from his post ahead of national polls set to be conducted on Monday next week.
K’Olale’s resignation on Thursday, July 1, came after some officials from Egerton University's UASU chapter moved to court contesting his candidacy.
For one to contest for a national position, the union's by laws require that the candidate either be elected in the chapter elections or be co-opted by the incumbent elected in a chapter election.
During the chapter elections, Prof K’Olale did not vie for a position at the Egerton chapter.
Afterwards, some of the elected officials co-opted him in the chapter’s leadership, giving him an opportunity to vie for the national chairman position.
However, weeks ago, some officials opposed to his co-option moved to court, which nullified his candidature for the national chairmanship last week.
In his position, Prof K’Olale has endorsed lawyer Grace Nyongesa from the Kisii University to succeed him.
Nyongesa will face Muiga Rugara from Jomo Kenya University of Science and Technology’s for the position of chair.
The secretary general, Dr Constantine Wasonga, will face Prof Kubasu Kwashe, a trustee at the Masinde Muliro University, and a former national chairman of the union.
Cyprian Ombati of the University of Kabianga and Fred Sawenja, the current national trustee, from the Technical University of Kenya (Tuk) are neck to neck in the battle to fill the position of vice chairperson.
National Treasurer Janepher Kumba will be defending the seat after beating up Dr Alice Lunani of Chuka and Dr Daniel Kirui of Moi University in the last elections.
For the post of national organising secretary, Dr Onesmus Maluki Mutio of Multimedia University will face off with Lynda Allan of TUK and Mr Bonface Isalambo of Maasai Mara university.
For the assitant treasurer's position, Weldon Keter of Murang’a University will battle it out with Martin Kasina of Machakos University.
On Wednesday, Chebunet the secretary of UASU's Eldoret chapter said lecturers are ready to elect the next team that will lead the union for the next five years.
Maluki Mutio the secretary of Multimedia University chapter said all is set for Monday's election.
The lecturers are also expected to elect three national trustees during Monday's elections.
The position of trustees is fiercely contested by 20 lecturers across various universities in the country.

A few months ago, we hired an independent security research firm to conduct an audit on the encryption specification used by Standard Notes. In building out our product, we spent a lot of time making sure our encryption is as strong and fool-proof as possible. While it's easy for one to feel confident of their own work, a security audit is a must for any privacy-focused project to assure the developers and customers alike that data being encrypted and transferred is done safely and securely.
We're happy to announce the results of our first third-party security audit, and share in this milestone with you while we continue on our journey to build the most private notes app in the world.
The full report is attached below for the crypto-minded. Security is a moving target, but we're happy to report that this report does not find any major weaknesses in our data encryption flow, which is the largest part of our crypto implementation. Instead, it identified two main places in which security could be improved:
1. Verifying login parameters from the server. It's standard practice for a modern web app to trust that what the server has sent for a particular user is associated with that user. For Standard Notes, we distrust the server a little more, and instead place trust on the applications that are running on the machines our users control. We were happy to learn about this as it has allowed us to add an additional layer of protection from the out-of-sight server.
2. Ensuring that the ID of the data item is not exchanged with another item. This is an issue with little practical exploitability. But it is important to protect against nonetheless. Now, when your app decrypts an item, it makes sure that the data contents of the item match the ID of the item it was originally created with.
Both of these improvements, along with others, are now live in the latest versions of Standard Notes on all platforms. With this launch, we also release the latest version of our encryption specification. Any new data you create is automatically secured with the most powerful version of our encryption spec.
We're proud to say that we're amongst the only private notes apps to have completed a third-party security audit. With our applications built for maximum longevity, we're confident we can continue protecting your data now and long into the future.
As always, thanks for your support. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Thanks for reading ✓

Would you like to add a swimming pool to your home? Perhaps, you have visited friends or neighbours with a pool and enjoyed the freedom of being able to take a swim whenever you wish, or you have enjoyed attending local pool parties and want to host some of your own. There are many good reasons to start planning for swimming pool construction, but before the building work can start, you must decide the type of pool you want and how it will fit into your property. The size, shape and depth of the pool are all things that can be difficult to alter once pool construction has begun.
What design should you choose?
If you have never given much thought to swimming pool construction, it can be surprising to realise that pools are available in many types. While you might think of a pool as a space filled with water, many factors go into deciding whether a new swimming pool will be a beautiful asset to your property or an expensive waste of time that is rarely used. Perhaps the most important decision you must make is whether the pool will be inground or above ground level. Traditional inground pools are the more expensive, but they are more durable and add more value to your property. If you opt for above-ground pool construction, it may be possible to take the pool with you when you move to a new property. You will also save money on the initial construction costs. If you can't decide which option would suit your home best, ask to see examples of existing pools so that you can appreciate what they might look like outside your home.
Where should you place the pool?
If you have a very large property, you must think carefully about where the pool construction should take place. Factors that you must keep in mind include how quickly you can reach the pool from the house, how much sun the pool area will receive and whether there is a clear line of sight from the house so that you can keep an eye on any children who may be splashing around in the water. When you have selected a site for the pool, you must look at the landscape to see whether any topographical features, such as a slope or a high water table, could add to the pool construction costs.

DC Water is not a typical municipal water treatment facility by any standard. The independent authority supplies 99 million gallons of fresh water every day for residents, workers and visitors in Washington, D.C., and its surrounding environs. It manages 1,300 miles of pipes and 1,800 miles of combined sanitary sewers that feed wastewater into its Blue Plains wastewater treatment facility, the largest in the world.
Tom Kuczynski, vice president of IT for District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority, as DC Water is formally known, says that the infrastructure can be difficult to maintain, especially since some of the very old sewers are over 100 years old.
“We’re trying to figure out how to optimize service, improve the overall ability to serve and improve the customer experience, at a lower cost, while not adversely impacting the reliability of the system and ensuring the safe and reliable operating of the system,” he says.
DC Water has partnered with Microsoft to use cloud and artificial intelligence technologies to conduct predictive analytics on the water distribution system. That includes proactively identifying potential water main break scenarios and water quality challenges, as well as sewer overflows, according to Kuczynski. That way, he says, “we can proactively address them and avoid those incidents, rather than being reactive when a problem occurs.”
That work makes the system more reliable and improves customer service, Kuczynski notes. “If I avoid a water main break, then I avoid a customer service issues because I don’t have a service interruption,” he says.
DC Water Teams with Microsoft on Predictive Analytics
Prior to working with Microsoft, DC Water developed a product internally in cooperation with its development partner Wipro known as Pipe Sleuth. The project began about a year and a half ago as a proof of concept, according to Kuczynski. It analyzes video footage of pipes captured by autonomous robots. The software then runs the footage through an AI-based neural network to detect pipe defects in the sewer system and provide a conditions assessment report. That information is then fed into DC Water’s investment models for repair and replacing infrastructure, so that the authority can better target pipes for upgrades.
Previously, such analysis was conducted via cameras that were manually lowered into sewers and operators watching closed-circuit TV footage to code and classify it. Engineers would then look at the video to detect defects in the pipes.
Pipe Sleuth can process the video in 10 percent of the time and cuts the cost substantially, down from $7 to $9 per linear foot to $2 to $3 per linear foot, according to Kuczynski. It also leads to a higher-quality inspection since the tool is able to detect more subtle defects and does not suffer from a fatigue factor the way a human operator might.
“It just runs,” Kuczynski says. “You get a higher detection rate on more subtle defects.”
DC Water also wants to license the solution to other water authorities and is in active discussions to do so, Kuczynski adds.
DC Water concluded that Microsoft’s Cognitive Toolkit was the best option to enable a predictive analytics capability. The authority reached out to Microsoft in late 2018 to do some proof of concept work around water quality monitoring, and that work has extended into predictive models for water main breaks and sewer flows, as well as pump performance and efficiency at the Blue Plains facility.
Kuczynski and several members of his team, along with an executive vice president of DC Water, spent two days in Redmond, Wash., at Microsoft’s headquarters to collaborate on models, build out the scope of work together and design the solutions.
“It takes an investment on both sides,” says Kim Nelson, executive director of state and local government solutions at Microsoft. “In this case, it’s not like they went out and hired Microsoft the way you hire an engineering firm or a consultant to write code. We’re bringing our best resources together to work together to solve the problem.”
Nelson described DC Water as a forward-thinking agency that is “willing to take a few risks,” and adds that it’s a way for Microsoft to “demonstrate and get cutting-edge technology into the hands of people who are trying to solve real problems.”

The purpose of this blog is to provide for social workers and those working in front-line clinical settings an overview of the law and principles relating to the assessment of capacity under the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015. Its focus is on how to apply the guiding principles when assessing capacity, primarily in the context of health and welfare decisions (see my previous blog on the Guiding Principles).
The presumption that a relevant person has capacity is fundamental to the Act. It is important to remember that the person has to ‘prove’ nothing. The burden of proving a lack of capacity to take a specific decision (or decisions) always lies upon the person who considers that it may be necessary to take a decision on their behalf (or will invite a court to take such a decision). The standard of proof which must be achieved is on the balance of probabilities. Accordingly, it will always be for the person alleging incapacity to prove that it is more likely than not that the person lacks capacity. Precisely how the presumption plays out has yet to be seen and interestingly the Act is silent on who exactly should access capacity.
Nevertheless, it is important to understand that it is not only medical professionals – and in particular psychiatrists – who can carry out a capacity assessment. There will be some circumstances under which a medical professional’s particular expertise will be required, but that is because of their expertise, not because of the position they hold. A capacity assessment is, in many ways, an attempt to have a real conversation with the person on their own terms, and applying their own value system. It is frequently the case that professionals or others who know the person better, and in particular who have seen the person over time, will be able to do a more robust capacity assessment than a person (of whatever discipline) ‘parachuted’ in for a snapshot assessment. But before having the capacity conversation with the person, it is most important to do your homework and consider what we might call the circumstantial evidence. In other words, ensure you are familiar with the personal circumstances, incidents where risks have materialized and so on.
The law gives a very specific definition of what it means to lack capacity for purposes of the Act. It is a legal test, and not a medical test, and to apply the test the Act sets out how a relevant person’s capacity is to be assessed and provides that a person lacks the capacity to make a decision if he or she is unable: –
a) To understand information relevant to the decision,
b) To retain that information long enough to make a voluntary choice
c) To use or weigh the information as part of the process of making the decision, or
d) To communicate his or her decision (whether by talking, writing, using sign language, assistive technology, or any other means) or, if the implementation of the decisions requires the Act of the third party, to communicate by any means with that third party
The assessment is, therefore based on the person’s inability to make a decision. However, this assessment is both issue-specific and time-specific, more particularly a person’s capacity shall be assessed on the basis of his or her ability to understand the nature and consequence of a decision to be made by him or her in the context of the available choices at the time the decision is made.
It is important to remember that an extremely foolish or irrational decision is still a decision and one that a person is entitled to make if they have the capacity to make it. An action can only be taken if the person is, in fact, unable to take the decision in question due to mental incapacity. Finally, it is possible to overcomplicate capacity assessments. Especially in the context of those with learning disability and dementia, the key to a successful assessment is patience and empathy. Those are not skills that are the province of particular professionals, but they can be taught and need to be nurtured in settings. It is understood that the assessment of capacity to take complex decisions necessarily takes time.
Capacity law should respect every person’s independence, dignity and freedom to make their own choices in line with their right to self-determination.

How is your day? Are you having a lousy day or a good day? What is the determining factor in how you experience what happens? The answer is looking back at you 😊 in the mirror. You are the one and truly only determining factor in how you experience any given moment.
We often scurry through our daily activities in a state of limbo unawareness. And, life literally passes by without us knowing why. Thus, situations and people seem to influence how we experience life. However, conditioning taught us to think and believe that things and people are responsible for how we live. But, what we have learned is not actually true. Therefore, you can change how you live. Deconditioning through awareness to how you observe living, offers enlightenment. Live life fully, don’t just exist. Let’s use the definition for limbo to expand our discussion.
Limbo is an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition. This is how the majority of people experience life. Why is living this way so typical? Basically, because we are not aware enough to establish a change in our behavioral responses. Hence, the shadows of our behavior characteristics darken out the brilliance of living life. The act of being alive, in itself, is an incredible experience, regardless of temporary day to day downfalls. And, conscious living is quite easy to establish as baseline for living life.
Why Have a Lousy Day?
An existence in limbo leaves you vulnerable to the instruments of our own species making. Something happens. Thus, thoughts and emotions trigger a mixture of conditioned reactions. Nonetheless, conditioned behavior is not permanent. You can change how you experience life. Realistically, there is a process necessary as you shift from mind to conscious awareness. But, the process itself is not your focus point. Look within and openly observe how you interact with any given moment. This recognition offers a passage beyond mind details to a space of acceptance without attachment to any details.
Mind behavior programs your reactions. And, you usually react without any realization of your behavior. You change such conditioned behavior simply by acknowledging that you, not the mind, have the power of decision. The weather does not decide how you feel today; you do. Your boss does not determine if you are a good person or not; you do. No person and definitely not a situation have the power to influence / manipulate you; unless you allow it.
This acknowledgement allows instant access to the conscious flowing stream of life energy. Remember conscious awakening is a process. And, people and situations have no true influence or control over your experience of life.
Therefore, the next time something happens, ask yourself why everything seems bad. Anything is only terrible because you decide that it is lousy. Things, of course, will continue to happen. Furthermore, this is natural part of our existence as a being that is, for now, human. Nevertheless, you always determine the act of being, regardless of how the mind interprets the moment. Life, let’s express this as the act of being, never has a good day or a lousy day. Thus, the unconditional acceptance of simply being you offers long term conscious awareness.

We all want peace. Don’t we? This desire lies deep down at the root of our essence. Harmony and unity are within the universal blueprint. The essence of stillness is Synchronicity. Let’s call this ground zero or simply a state of being. Therefore, an inquiry into the underlying nature of this universal vibration is consciously beneficial in our life experience. Still, this topic is perplexing to the mind. Thus, please use the following insight as an exercise in conscious awareness beyond the mind.
It is unlikely that life or consciousness implores universal objects to find peacefulness. However, a simple state being automatically generates a universal blissful rhythm. Then along comes countless objects forms that also produce vibrations at different levels. I can understand if you choose to debate this insight. After all, conditioning causes the mind to resist simplicity. Of course, there are many viewpoints and perspectives that reflect a person’s mind-made code of conduct. But, let’s focus on that magical something beyond mind details. Non-manifested stillness is at the core of your being. This is inner peace.
Harmony and Unity Are One
Thus, there is oneness within being. Hence, the state of being is dependent on you. You, me, and all objects influence universal energy consciousness. This, in turn, manifests as the isness of now. Synchronicity, therefore, is a choice. Let’s simplify this consideration. You are either at peace. Or, you are not. The word at suffices as an expression of being here and now.
Therefore, this state of being is a reference to enlightenment. Enlightenment is neither magical nor mystical. A state of enlightened being is the willingness to simply accept being. Therefore, the willingness to awaken and experience being validates living and enlightenment. True awareness of being is foundation to enlightenment. Please note that this does not suggest any given detail of being, such as happy, sad, good or bad. These are mind details. Therefore, these have no significance in our essential state of being. The practice of aware beingness is the portal to enlightenment. And, it is the dismissal of separation as we dismiss traditional conditioning caused by thoughts, beliefs, behaviorism, and dogmas. Peacefulness and harmony are obvious when we shift away from the above-mentioned aspects of our mind-made existence.
Wishing you a happy day.

We’re always open and try to respond to text/emails within 24 hours
Stewart Gems is in Winchester Tennessee.
I do not. I have a studio which is not available to the public. I conduct business by appointments and through electronic channels. In-person meeting is arranged when making the appointment.
Unfortunately, no. This is for security and safety reasons.
I mainly make jewelry on request. If there is something you are looking for, I can get it or make it. This allows me to control the quality and price to fit your needs.
Typically no. Ready-made jewelry is mass produced, allowing the design and fabrication prices to be lowered due to volume. For custom made jewelry, all the design time and labor goes into one piece. The benefit is you control the quality and exact design rather than settle for the closest thing.
The best way is to use the Contact Us form below. Let me know the best way and time to contact you, what you are interested in, and a date you need it by if it is important. If this is a surprise gift, be sure and let me know so we can be careful not to spoil it!
This depends on what you want.. Some can be assembled or hand made in just a few days. If a wax model is required or a particular stone located, this adds time to the project. I will do everything possible to work with your requirements.
Yes! A lot of my customers have brought multiple pieces passed down through the families to have them remade into a new piece they can wear and still maintain the heritage. Also it's a good way to save money.
Not a problem. I can provide as much metal as you need, or even swap white gold for yellow gold if that's what you want to do. I also have any diamonds and gemstones you would want to add.
Each custom piece will involve multiple skills to complete, and each skill has different values. There is no charge for starting a custom piece. I will create designs and then quote a price based on the design. We can adjust the design- as needed to make it exactly what you want and at the price that can work for you.
That is a big help! I can work from a picture or a good description.
I do everything in my studio except casting. I use a very reliable and trusted casting service to do that. Your diamonds and gemstones will not leave my posession. If I can't repair your jewelry here, I'll let you know up front, But this almost NEVER happens.
Yes, i can make an offer for your gold and platinum.
No. Watches have become a technical field that requires very specialized equipment and training.

Friday’s Game Report: Phillies 5, Cardinals 3
By Rob Rains
It was a night to remember for Nolan Arenado. That wasn’t the case for the rest of the Cardinals.
Arenado became the first Cardinal in 17 years to hit for the cycle on Friday night, but the rest of the lineup combined for fewer hits, three, than Arenado had by himself in the loss to the Phillies in Philadelphia.
Arenado tripled in the first inning, homered in the third inning, doubled in the sixth and singled in the eighth, the first Cardinal to hit for the cycle since Mark Grudzielanek in 2005. Arenado also hit for the cycle in 2017 when he was with the Rockies.
The only negative for Arenado on the night was that his fielding error in the fifth inning opened the way to a three-run inning for the Phillies that wiped out a 3-0 Cardinals lead.
Here is how the game broke down:
At the plate: The only other hits for the Cardinals were a double and single from Paul Goldschmidt and a single by Juan Yepez … Arenado drove in all three of the Cardinals runs … They also had three walks, two from Brendan Donovan, but were just 1-of-8 with runners in scoring position … They combined for a season-high 15 strikeouts, three by Dylan Carlson.
On the mound: Miles Mikolas allowed four of the Phillies runs, two of which were unearned because of the Arenado error. Mikolas also allowed a home run in the sixth that broke the 3-3 tie … A home run off Johan Oviedo in the seventh gave the Phillies an insurance run.
Worth noting: The Cardinals have now had at least one triple in five consecutive games … Nolan Gorman, after making a pinch-hit appearance Friday night, is expected to be back in the lineup on Saturday after recovering from a sore hand when he was hit by a pitch earlier this week … Jordan Hicks could be activated from the injured list before Saturday’s game … Steven Matz is scheduled to make his second rehab start for Memphis on Saturday night.
Looking ahead: Matthew Liberatore will get the start against Kyle Gibson in the second game of the series on Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals will have to make a roster move to add Liberatore to the active roster.

Marketing in the cannabis business is tough. The nature of this highly regulated industry means getting creative when it comes to effective ways of marketing cannabis products.
That’s why this article covers the top cannabis marketing strategies of 2021. We’ll go over the best ways to increase traffic to your dispensary or brand website and build up your online awareness.
Without question, your cannabis brand or service needs at least one social media account. Whether you use a social media agency or post in-house, you need to actively publish high-quality content that adds benefit to your social media followers’ experience.
It’s also a good idea to populate various platforms like Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, etc. You don’t have to publish three times per day, but it needs to be frequent and fresh. It’s okay for your publishing schedule to ebb and flow a bit, but consistency is key.
When it comes to the best strategies social media content, video is king. Short, engaging videos are by far the best type of content you can put out! Your best place to start on social media is where you already have the most engaged following or community. If you’re not already invested in social media marketing, it’s time to start.
Cresco Labs billboard advertising their cannabis flower product
Billboards for cannabis marketing are perhaps one of the most underestimated methods of advertising in 2021. This is especially true for local cannabis dispensaries.
Whether you want to let local residents know about the grand opening of your new dispensary or promote your e-commerce cannabis store in major cities across the nation, billboards are still a viable way of getting seen by large numbers of people.
Remember that some cities and billboard owners have particular policies about what they’ll advertise and what they won’t. Find a friendly billboard service that offers spots on high traffic routes in relevant areas like trendy neighborhoods or downtown.
Don’t forget digital advertising, which also needs to be high up on your list of cannabis marketing strategies.
While major search engines and social media platforms are still restricted from running cannabis ads, niche digital ad service providers like Mantis, RevOffer, and Traffic Roots have stepped in to fill the gap for emerging cannabis brands
The Wine & Weed Podcast with Steelo Brim and Chris “Christopher” Reinacher
National cannabis brands can find a lot of traction by sponsoring popular podcasts. For smaller local brands and dispensaries, sponsoring a locally based podcast might be a better option.
32% of the U.S. population is listening to monthly podcasts and 54% of people listening say they are more likely to consider buying a brand they heard about on a podcast.
Don’t forget about advertising your cannabis brand or service on the radio either!
A ton of people still tune in to their favorite stations while at work or driving, and overall radio ads give your brand major exposure.
The power that influencers, both macro and micro, have to unlock mega exposure for your cannabis brand should be leveraged to the max. Outreach for collaboration takes some time and you need to carefully select an influencer that can provide the reach you’re looking for.
To get the best return on your investment with social media influencers, be sure to team up with someone that fits your brand identity and target demographic. The best arrangement is to offer them something that is fair and benefits both of you.
An example of a top-notch CBD blog from Charlotte’s Web
Keeping your website updated with fresh website content and blog posts can benefit your online presence in multiple ways.
First of all, a blog can help your overall website SEO by keeping people on your site, building backlinks, growing traffic, and more. Stocking your blog with educational content can help you connect with customers looking to learn more about cannabis. Therefore, providing them with a valuable resource will help your brand build trust among curious consumers.
Local brick & mortar dispensaries often have the most to gain from a well-thought-out blog and content writing campaign. By targeting the right topics and keywords, you can build up a valuable blog full of topics that are custom to your local customer base.
Don’t Just take our word for it! Check out this crazy statistic that proves the immense potential a blog can bring to your website.
Companies that blog get 55% more traffic on average – HubSpot
An example of the Google Map Pack from the search “dispensary san francisco”
Local Some SEO is arguably the most important aspect of digital marketing for dispensaries with a physical location. Local SEO is the practice of growing the local awareness of your storefront or business by optimizing for Google results.
Local SEO tactics for Cannabis dispensaries include optimizing for the google map pack, location-based keywords, directories, and Google My Business. Google’s local SEO algorithm takes into account ranking factors like backlinks, content, off-site factors, and more.
Ensuring your website is optimized for local SEO will take time and patience, but your profits will thank you.
Snoop Dogg poses for a photo at the launch event of his Leafs By Snoop brand
Hosting launch parties and events are great ways to market your brand and build hype around any special offerings. You can do this by cross-promoting with another brand, sponsoring events with celebrities, and plenty more.
When done right, a successful event can bring your company new customers, press, backlinks, and maybe even some brand loyalty.
Take it from Snoop, he is one of the best at using his celebrity platform and persona to advertise and promote brands that reach out to him. Now he just so happens to be marketing for his own brand.
Collaborating with a complimentary brand in or outside of the cannabis industry provides a great avenue for building hype, press, and new customer.
A perfect example of a brand collaboration would be the partnership between Lagunitas Brewing and absoluteXtracts. The result is a highly successful Cannabis-infused drink and became one of the first in the industry.
Other ways to cross-promote your brand include launching an exclusive product at a local dispensary, license a celebrity’s likeness for their very own signature products, or work with a cannabis company that offers a service you don’t. The options are endless!
Classic public relations tactics are still valuable ways of building earned media impressions and traffic. This is commonly executed by pitching major publications and news channels that may have a vested interest in sharing your brand’s story.
When pitching to publishers and journalists, we suggest first conducting your research, making sure the request is easy to understand, knowing your audience, keeping the message short and sweet, following up, and providing some sort of value.
PR can also function as a way to uphold your company’s credibility in the face of industry regulations and public sentiment.

Keeping your kitchen cabinets clean and organized is essential for maintaining a functional and visually appealing kitchen. However, when it comes to cleaning kitchen cabinets, there are common mistakes that many people make. These mistakes can not only compromise the cleanliness of your cabinets but also damage the surface and longevity of the materials. To help you avoid these pitfalls, we have compiled a list of the top kitchen cabinet cleaning mistakes to steer clear of.
By familiarizing yourself with these mistakes, you can ensure that your kitchen cabinets are properly cleaned, maintained, and protected for years to come. So let’s dive in and explore the common pitfalls in kitchen cabinet cleaning and learn how to do it the right way.
Mistake #1: Using abrasive cleaners
One of the biggest mistakes people make when cleaning their kitchen cabinets is using abrasive cleaners. While it might seem like a good idea to scrub away stubborn stains and grime, abrasive cleaners can actually do more harm than good. These cleaners contain harsh chemicals and abrasive particles that can scratch and damage the surface of your cabinets.
Instead of abrasive cleaners, opt for gentle yet effective cleaning solutions. Mix a solution of warm water and mild dish soap to create a gentle cleaning solution. You can also add a splash of vinegar for added cleaning power. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the cabinets, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Avoid scrubbing vigorously or using abrasive scrub brushes as they can cause scratches.
For tougher stains, you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained areas, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the cabinets thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a soft towel.
Remember, the goal is to clean your cabinets without causing any damage. By using gentle cleaning solutions and being mindful of the materials, you can keep your kitchen cabinets looking their best for years to come.
Mistake #2: Neglecting the hardware
When cleaning kitchen cabinets, it’s important not to overlook the hardware. The hardware, including knobs, handles, hinges, and drawer pulls, can accumulate dirt, grime, and grease over time. Neglecting the hardware can make your cabinets look dirty and can affect their functionality.
To clean the hardware, start by removing them from the cabinets. This will give you better access to clean them thoroughly. Fill a sink or basin with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Let the hardware soak for a few minutes to loosen any dirt or grease.
Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently scrub the hardware to remove any remaining residue. Pay attention to the crevices and corners to ensure a thorough cleaning. Rinse the hardware with clean water and dry them with a soft towel before reinstalling them on the cabinets.
If the hardware is particularly dirty or tarnished, you can use a metal cleaner or polish specifically designed for the type of material. Be sure to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to avoid damaging the hardware.
Keeping the hardware clean not only enhances the appearance of your kitchen cabinets but also ensures their proper functioning. Regularly cleaning the hardware will prevent build-up and prolong the lifespan of your cabinets.
Mistake #3: Using too much water
Using excessive amounts of water when cleaning kitchen cabinets is a common mistake that can lead to damage and warping of the materials. While it’s important to use water for cleaning, it’s equally vital to use it sparingly and with caution.
Excessive moisture can seep into the wood or laminate surfaces of the cabinets, causing them to swell, warp, or even develop mold and mildew. To prevent this, use a damp cloth or sponge instead of soaking the cabinets with water. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the cloth or sponge before wiping down the cabinets.
If there are spills or stains that require a deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of cleaning solution to a cloth and use that to spot clean the affected area. Immediately follow with a dry cloth or towel to remove any moisture.
Another tip to avoid using too much water is to work in small sections at a time. This will allow you to control the amount of moisture that comes into contact with the cabinets. After cleaning a section, dry it thoroughly before moving on to the next.
By being mindful of the amount of water used during the cleaning process, you can protect your kitchen cabinets from potential damage and ensure their longevity.
Mistake #4: Ignoring the inside of the cabinets
When cleaning kitchen cabinets, many people focus solely on the exterior surfaces and overlook the inside of the cabinets. However, neglecting the interior of your cabinets can lead to the buildup of dirt, dust, crumbs, and even pests.
To properly clean the inside of your cabinets, start by removing all items from the shelves. This will allow you to thoroughly clean the surfaces without any obstructions. Vacuum or sweep out any loose debris from the cabinets.
Next, wipe down the interior surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a mild cleaning solution if needed, especially if there are any spills or stains. Pay attention to the corners, edges, and grooves of the shelves to ensure a thorough clean.
If you notice any stubborn stains or sticky residue, you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected areas, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the shelves with clean water and dry them completely.
Once the interior of the cabinets is clean and dry, it’s a good opportunity to reorganize and declutter. Consider using storage solutions such as drawer dividers, shelf organizers, or clear bins to keep items neatly arranged and easily accessible.
By regularly cleaning and organizing the inside of your kitchen cabinets, you can maintain a clean and tidy space while maximizing your storage efficiency.
Mistake #5: Not wiping down the cabinet doors properly
When cleaning kitchen cabinets, it’s important to give proper attention to the cabinet doors. Neglecting to wipe down the doors thoroughly can result in dirt, grease, and grime buildup, compromising the overall cleanliness of your kitchen.
To effectively clean the cabinet doors, start by using a gentle cleaning solution. Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap or a small amount of vinegar. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring out any excess moisture. Gently wipe down the cabinet doors, paying attention to any areas with visible stains or accumulated residue.
Be sure to clean both the front and back of the cabinet doors, as well as the edges. Pay close attention to the corners and crevices where dirt and grime tend to accumulate. If there are any stubborn stains, you can use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for the type of material your cabinet doors are made of. Remember to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
After cleaning, rinse the cloth or sponge with clean water and go over the cabinet doors again to remove any traces of the cleaning solution. Finally, dry the doors thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent any moisture from lingering.
In addition to regular cleaning, it’s also important to establish a routine maintenance schedule for the cabinet doors. This includes wiping down the doors on a regular basis to prevent the accumulation of dust, cooking oils, and other kitchen residues. By including the cabinet doors in your regular cleaning routine, you can ensure that your kitchen cabinets remain clean and well-maintained.
Mistake #6: Using harsh chemicals
Using harsh chemicals when cleaning kitchen cabinets is a mistake that can have detrimental effects on the cabinet surfaces and your health. While it may be tempting to use strong chemicals to tackle stubborn stains and grease, these harsh substances can cause discoloration, damage the finish, or even release toxic fumes.
Instead of harsh chemicals, opt for gentle and safe cleaning solutions. A mixture of warm water and mild dish soap can effectively remove dirt and grease from your cabinets without causing any harm. Vinegar is also a natural and versatile cleaning agent that can be used to tackle tougher stains.
If you’re dealing with particularly stubborn grime, you can try creating a paste with baking soda and water. This paste can be gently applied to the affected areas, left to sit for a few minutes, and then wiped away with a damp cloth or sponge.
It’s also important to avoid using abrasive scrub brushes or scouring pads when cleaning your cabinets. These can cause scratches and remove the protective finish, leaving the surfaces vulnerable to further damage. Instead, use soft cloths or sponges to gently scrub away dirt and grime.
Remember, the goal is to clean and maintain your cabinets without compromising their appearance and longevity. By using gentle yet effective cleaning solutions, you can ensure that your kitchen cabinets remain in top condition for years to come.
Mistake #7: Skipping regular cleaning
Skipping regular cleaning of your kitchen cabinets is a common mistake that can lead to a buildup of dirt, grease, and grime. Over time, this can not only affect the aesthetics of your cabinets but also compromise their functionality and longevity.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of your kitchen cabinets. By establishing a cleaning routine, you can prevent the accumulation of dirt and grease, making it easier to keep your cabinets looking their best.
Set a schedule for cleaning your cabinets based on your usage and needs. It’s recommended to wipe down the cabinets at least once a week to remove any surface grime. However, if you cook frequently or have a busy household, you may need to clean them more often.
When cleaning, pay attention to high-touch areas such as cabinet handles, knobs, and near the cooking area where grease tends to accumulate. Use a gentle cleaning solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the surfaces thoroughly. Don’t forget to clean the interior of the cabinets as well, removing any spilled food or crumbs.
Regular cleaning also allows you to identify any issues or damages early on, such as loose hinges or chipped paint. By addressing these problems promptly, you can prevent further damage and keep your cabinets in good condition.
Skipping regular cleaning can lead to stubborn stains and a more challenging cleaning process down the line. By incorporating regular cabinet cleaning into your routine, you can maintain a clean and organized kitchen while extending the lifespan of your cabinets.
Mistake #8: Using incorrect cleaning tools
Using incorrect cleaning tools when cleaning kitchen cabinets is a mistake that can lead to damage and ineffective cleaning results. It’s important to choose the right tools that are suitable for the specific material and finish of your cabinets.
Avoid using abrasive scrub brushes or scouring pads as they can cause scratches and remove the protective finish of your cabinets. Instead, opt for soft cloths or non-abrasive sponges that will gently clean the surfaces without causing any damage.
Microfiber cloths are a great option for wiping down cabinet surfaces, as they are soft, lint-free, and highly effective at trapping dirt and particles. They can be used both dry for dusting or slightly dampened with a gentle cleaning solution for general cleaning.
In addition to the right cloth or sponge, it’s important to choose the appropriate cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your cabinets. Instead, opt for mild dish soap mixed with warm water or vinegar diluted in water. These gentle solutions will effectively clean your cabinets without causing any harm.
When cleaning, remember that less is often more. Use a minimal amount of cleaning solution or water to avoid over-saturating the cabinet surfaces. Excess moisture can seep into the wood or laminate, causing damage or warping.
As for the hardware, choose the right tool for the job. Use a screwdriver or appropriate tool to remove and reinstall knobs, handles, hinges, or drawer pulls. Cleaning the hardware separately will ensure a thorough and effective cleaning without the risk of damaging the cabinets.
By using the correct cleaning tools, you can clean your kitchen cabinets efficiently while preserving their appearance and prolonging their lifespan.
Mistake #9: Not following manufacturer’s instructions
Not following the manufacturer’s instructions when cleaning your kitchen cabinets is a mistake that can result in damage to the cabinets and voiding any warranties. Each type of cabinet material and finish may require specific care and maintenance methods, and it’s crucial to adhere to these guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Before embarking on a cleaning routine, take the time to read the care and maintenance instructions that came with your cabinets. These instructions may include specific cleaning solutions to use or avoid, as well as recommended cleaning techniques.
Some cabinets may be sensitive to certain cleaning agents that can cause discoloration, dullness, or damage. For instance, some cabinets with a glossy finish may require gentle cleaning solutions and non-abrasive cloths to maintain their shine. On the other hand, cabinets with a natural wood finish may require special wood cleaners to protect and enhance their appearance.
Following the manufacturer’s instructions will not only help you avoid potential damage but also ensure that you are using the most effective cleaning methods for your particular cabinets. They may also provide guidance on how often to clean and maintain your cabinets to keep them in optimal condition.
If you no longer have the manufacturer’s instructions, you can try to find them online. Many manufacturers have websites or customer support services where you can retrieve the necessary information to care for your cabinets properly.
By following the manufacturer’s instructions, you can confidently clean your cabinets knowing that you are using the correct techniques and products, ultimately extending the life and beauty of your kitchen cabinets.
Mistake #10: Forgetting to protect the cabinets during cleaning
Forgetting to protect your kitchen cabinets during the cleaning process is a common mistake that can result in damage to the surfaces. While cleaning your cabinets, it’s important to take precautions to prevent any accidental scratches, stains, or water damage.
One simple way to protect your cabinets is to use a barrier, such as a towel or plastic sheet, to cover the countertops and surrounding areas. This will catch any drips or spills and prevent them from coming into contact with the cabinet surfaces.
When using cleaning solutions, make sure to apply them directly to the cloth or sponge rather than spraying them directly onto the cabinets. This will minimize the risk of the solution dripping or running down the surface and causing damage.
It’s also important to avoid leaving excess moisture on the cabinets after cleaning. Use a dry towel or cloth to thoroughly wipe down the surfaces and remove any remaining moisture. Pay special attention to the edges, corners, and crevices where water can easily accumulate.
If you’re using any tools or equipment during the cleaning process, such as screwdrivers or vacuum attachments, be careful not to accidentally scratch or bump the cabinet surfaces. Take your time and handle the tools with care to avoid any unnecessary damage.
In addition, be cautious when moving items around inside the cabinets. Avoid sliding or dragging objects across the shelves as this can scratch or chip the surfaces. Instead, lift and place items carefully to minimize any potential damage.
By taking these simple steps to protect your cabinets during the cleaning process, you can preserve their appearance and ensure they remain in excellent condition for years to come.
Properly cleaning and maintaining your kitchen cabinets is essential for keeping your kitchen functional, organized, and visually appealing. By avoiding the common mistakes mentioned in this article, you can ensure that your cabinets remain in optimal condition for years to come.
Using non-abrasive cleaners and gentle cleaning solutions will help prevent damage to the cabinet surfaces. Taking the time to clean both the exterior and interior of the cabinets, including the hardware, will ensure a thorough and comprehensive cleaning process.
Remember to avoid using excessive amounts of water, as this can lead to warping or swelling. Instead, use a damp cloth or sponge and dry the cabinets thoroughly afterward. Following the manufacturer’s instructions is crucial to protect your cabinets and maintain any warranties.
It’s also important to use the correct cleaning tools and to protect your cabinets during the cleaning process. By using soft cloths or non-abrasive sponges, following the proper cleaning techniques, and covering the surrounding areas, you can prevent any accidental damage while cleaning.
In conclusion, taking the time to properly clean and care for your kitchen cabinets will keep them looking beautiful and functioning optimally. By avoiding these common cleaning mistakes and implementing effective cleaning practices, you can ensure that your kitchen cabinets remain a focal point in your kitchen and provide you with years of use and enjoyment.

Uncommon Sense: An Autistic Journey
Pub Date: October 2, 2021
5.5 X 8.5 in | 196pgs
Trade Paperback : 9781988989358
Finalist - Next generation Indie Awards Memoirs and Regional Non-Fiction
"Told as a child that his autism meant he might never communicate effectively with other people or forge meaningful relationships, Adam Mardero had to fight harder than most to believe in himself. In this touching and exuberant memoir, he chronicles his struggles and his victories on the way to realizing that he is perfectly okay the way he is. His story is by turns funny, painful and determined, but always engaging."
- Catherine McKercher, author of Shut Away: When Down Syndrome was a Life Sentence
"Mardero's quirky (and at times touchingly geeky) narrative is funny, thoughtful, and endlessly informative. Through his stories of growing up as an autistic individual, we're given a glimpse into not only the singular challenges but also, the astonishing triumphs that are an inextricable part of living a neurodivergent life."
-Hollay Ghadery, author of Fuse: A Memoir on Mixed Race Identity and Mental Health
What does it mean to be Autistic?
For Adam Mardero in particular, being diagnosed at the age of nine felt like embarking on an epic lifelong quest for understanding and self-acceptance. He shares how he navigated the darkest dungeons and brightest triumphs of life on the Autistic Spectrum and through it all discovers the ultimate treasure: what it really means to find yourself and live life on your own terms.
About the Author

Uncommon Sense is a reflection of his self-discovery on his own terms. Mardero founded the blog Differently Wired to educate and advocate for neurodiversity. He holds a Master’s Degree in History and a Bachelor of Education. Since coming to terms with being neurodivergent, he’s dedicated his life to helping further the causes of Autism and neurodiversity acceptance. Adam lives in Sudbury, Ontario.

Freevee users will get access to more than 100 Amazon Originals that, up until now, have only been available to watch with a Prime Video subscription. Considering Freevee is a free streaming service, this will be good news for users that are not currently signed up to Amazon Prime.
Freevee was previously known as IMDb TV. However, it underwent a rebranding around this time last year with the name seemingly designed to more clearly focus on the fact that it is a free streaming service.
In spite of being free, Freevee does offer access to a good amount of content, and it looks like the library is set to expand massively thanks to an injection of more than 100 Amazon Originals that will make their way from Prime Video to Freevee during this year.
For those interested in the new free content, the first three episodes of the Amazon Original The Summer I Turned Pretty are due to become available for free starting May 26. Also in May, Freevee users will be able to tune in to episodes of A League of Their Own, The Terminal List, and Paper Girls, as well full seasons of Goliath, The Tick, Homecoming, and Upload, and movies like The Vast of Night.
Later in the year, the entire first seasons of Reacher and The Wheel of Time will both also become available to stream for free on Freevee.
While these shows and others will be making their way to Freevee over the coming weeks and months, they will continue to remain available to watch through Prime Video for those that prefer an ad-free viewing experience.
In the same announcement, Amazon also confirmed that the Freevee Originals FAST channel has now been rebranded as Amazon Originals, a move designed to highlight that the free, ad-support channel now includes original content from both Freevee and Prime Video.

[attach]7265[/attach]Spanning Bayview Avenue just north of Kilgour Road, the CNIB Bayview pedestrian bridge might be an iconic sight, but it’s seen better days.
A pair of wire nets fastened underneath it to catch falling debris, for one thing, would not have been there when it was unveiled in 1956.
But now the historic bridge, which saw an average 4,800 crossings a month before it was closed for safety reasons in December 2011, has a new lease on life. A $2.4 million restoration project, set to begin the first week of December, will add an audio-assisted elevator on the west side and new tactile surfaces to enhance navigation by blind pedestrians, along with replacement of the east-side stairs with a ramp that will extend to the building’s front doors.
Gary Baldey, CNIB director of property, said at the Nov. 22 groundbreaking ceremony that the brick and concrete foundations will also be restored, with that work getting under way in January. The project is expected to be completed in the spring.
“This bridge is an important landmark for Toronto,” Don Valley West MP John Carmichael told CNIB president and CEO John Rafferty and others gathered at the organization’s national office.
The federal government is providing $822,000 for the project through its Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund.
“As the member of Parliament for this riding, I consider it my good fortune to have a number of what I call I call ‘centres of excellence,’ and clearly CNIB is one of the major centres of excellence in the riding,” Carmichael remarked.
Councillor John Parker, who said he was “thrilled” to see the pedestrian bridge’s rehabilitation, commented that “it doesn’t hurt to have a prime minister who remembers his roots and has a soft spot for one of the major features in the community where he grew up.”
Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent his childhood in Leaside.
A special guest at the event was retired CNIB teacher Florence Carter, a Leaside resident who began working there in 1947.

Fascia is the most prevalent tissue in the body, yet is the least understood. Think of when you are cutting a piece of chicken, and you find the film that is hard to cut through. That is a type of fascial tissue! Initially in dissection studies, that film over the muscles and organs was in the way of what was actually trying to be studied (muscles, bones, organs, etc.); and would subsequently be thrown in the trash. Fast forward to today: there has been seemingly extensive research on fascia within the past 20 years, and we haven’t even scratched the surface!
Fascia describes the connective tissue system of the body. This web of tissue penetrates through and wraps around nerves, muscles, organs, and every other cell or tissue. It connects to and influences every system in the body as a communication network. It is the most extensive tissue in the body; and its flexibility is vital to healthy circulation within muscles, joints, arteries, brain, and spinal cord.
Fascia and Flexibility (Fasciadaptibility) ?
Now, how does this affect me? Well, the flexibility of this fascial system is vital to preventing injury and staying healthy. Ever heard of the old saying “motion is lotion”? The phrase still applies today when looking at flexibility as adaptability. Every person needs the ability to adapt to new situations; both physically and emotionally. This adaptability can be seen in athletics rapidly changing positions or in normal life with a new mother who has to hold her baby for long periods of time.
The same idea applies to the fascial system. Fascia reacts to all forms of stress by tightening. It does this by laying down tough connective tissue called collagen (AKA scar tissue) to adapt. The forces in and around your body will become stressed and add thick strong tissue, which comes at the expense of flexibility. This is the reason there is a prevalence of lower back pain with desk workers/people who sit for a living.
What can I do about it?
In finding this blog, you may be considering step one: practice consistent and optimal stretching. Alongside stretching, regular exercise, hydration, and a varied diet with protein play key roles in maintaining healthy fascia. All of these help to balance the body and prevent this scar tissue buildup.
One last tip, that can be the most difficult at times, stay moving throughout the day. The best place to start is going for a walk (outside if you can). If you do not allow your body to adapt to fixed positions, scar tissue buildup will decrease. This practice can help whether you are a high-level athlete or a 9-5 worker.
To get even more insight on your fascia, contact your local Fascial Stretch Therapist!

Our clients came to their home for the view, and stayed for the architecture. But before they reached that point, there was a lot to get done — as you’ll learn in this whole-house remodel case study that was featured in this year’s NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) Remodeled Homes Tour.
Our clients loved the Boise foothills for their beauty and recreational opportunities, and when a chance run high above their North End home led past a certain “for sale” sign, they knew a change of address was the way to take greater advantage of this jewel in Boise’s crown. Although they saw a lot to work with in the bones of their ‘70s era home, they knew with equal certainty that it would take a lot of design talent, engineering insight, and project management — not to mention plenty of good old-fashioned demolition — to pay off their home’s architectural potential.
The architecture of our clients’ home certainly made it unique, and its view of the Boise Valley from amid a cluster of trees was gorgeous — but the home’s floor plan not only failed to take full advantage of its design and site, it also robbed its inhabitants of the daily inspiration they should otherwise have enjoyed. To open up new lines of sight, add more points of light, and take full advantage of the views from around the second floor living space, a lot of walls and other “obstructions” would have to be removed, as would an aging and dysfunctional deck system. In the process, our clients also wanted the aesthetic improvements of an updated look and amenities in their kitchen and master bathroom.
STRITE’s initial focus in realizing out our clients’ vision was to remove anything on the second floor, including the existing kitchen and fireplace, that would obstruct or diminish the views from the south side of their home, and in so doing make possible the corresponding light those views could bring to a more open floor plan. Accomplishing this goal involved not only the demolition of walls, but also the replacement of an existing wall bearing point with a less intrusive steel beam that, when polished, picked up the metal highlights of the new kitchen fixtures. By reclaiming an area of wasted space adjoining the kitchen, STRITE was able to convert it into a large, walk-in pantry with enough storage to eliminate the need for kitchen cupboards — thus adding to the clean lines and open feeling that our clients valued, in contrast to the cramped feeling of the original kitchen layout.
To further improve the views from the reconfigured living room, dining room, and kitchen, we added and enhanced window spaces. Although our clients’ original intention, thanks to input from the interior designer who STRITE brought on to the project team, was to relocate the existing fireplace, the fact that they seldom used it made its complete removal a more logical design decision. By reclaiming the wasted space represented by the fire pit, as well as removing an alcove on one side of the fireplace, we were able to add another 200 square feet to the living room, as well as effectively making a previously “hidden” door to an outside walkway work as another view window. To carry over the emerging look in other areas of the home, we replaced original carpet with lightly stained wood floors, and updated both the master bedroom (adding another point of light as one approached it from the hall) and the master bath (creating its own space distinct from the bedroom floorplan). On the outside of the house, our clients wanted to replace an aging and unsightly deck with a more aesthetically pleasing and functional option, as well as create a family-friendly patio in a backyard that they had described as “an un-level patch of cheatgrass.” To accomplish these latter renovations, we shared concepts and schedules with chosen local professionals whose expertise in their trades exceeded and complimented our own.
Our clients had lived in their home for 11 years before executing their ambitious remodel plan — but they had been working on that plan for most of this time, and they had a very clear idea of what they wanted as an end result. They hired STRITE to help them get there, and we in turn enlisted the services of an accomplished interior designer to coordinate architecture and decor. Along the way we replaced dated wooden bannisters with custom-designed metal railings, reconfigured the entryway to open up a better line of site, updated the children’s bedrooms, and added unique touches like a single, wall-sized tempered glass backsplash (our clients’ inspiration) that reflected the trees through the windows in the main living area. It was a complicated project that lasted five months (the latter part during which our clients lived in the ground floor of their home), and at times taxed our scheduling abilities — but the end result was what our clients’ have described as a home that “looks and functions even better than we thought it would.” Those 10 words are what we are in business to hear.

Pride 2020: How Movements Can Reinvent During COVID-19 & #BLM
The weekend just passed marked Global Pride 2020 and the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march ever held in 1970. We can learn a lot from historic recollections of LGBTQ+ activism, the movements’ narrative changes from then until recently, and how that has shaped what has come to be known as the rainbow-filled, corporate-sponsored, party pride we have now. However, this will be focussing on the reinvention that Pride has gone through in the context of 2020 amidst COVID-19 and what this mobilising transition can teach movements and campaigns.
A Brief History Lesson
The Christopher Street Liberation Day March was held simultaneously in New York and Los Angeles in 1970 and marked a year after the Stonewall Riots – it was the first-ever Pride march. Stories of the LGBTQ+ community before the Stonewall Riots have often been lost in history, but the riots couldn’t have happened without the LGBTQ+ culture and politics that preceded it. Similarly, the modern LGBTQ+ movement couldn’t have been realised in such a way without the Stonewall Riots.
The Stonewall Riots story is one of great feat with a heroic community at the centre of it – because the story is remembered by so many who were there, the story can sometimes shift in the memory of one activist to another, below is one version of the multi-layered story in our canvas framework.
So, now you know a bit about the history of Pride, but what can you learn from Pride 2020?
There have been major shifts occurring in society amidst COVID-19 and the resurgence of #BlackLivesMatter into mainstream culture. These have caused a deep distrust in institutions of power and a growing trust in our communities, which have fed into the remaking of Pride 2020. There are three story observations which are important to learn from:
- Intersectionality and inclusivity invites more allies and heroes.
- People need strong calls to adventure to make a deeper commitment to the cause.
- Action needs to be centre stage to keep a movement moving.
Intersectionality and inclusivity invites more allies and heroes.
Pride 2020 being a virtual event that uses the tech we have all come to know (and love?) provides it with the opportunity of being more inclusive than ever. Although there may be technological barriers, it rips down cultural barriers that are ingrained into queer celebration. Inaccessible venues and parades and alcohol, tend to be at the centre of Pride celebrations and can leave parts of the community asking themselves why are my needs not represented?
Virtual Pride permits more of the community and allies to join in with the festivities and helps surpass geographical barriers for rural LGBTQ+ people, providing them with a space to be part of the wider movement story. This helps bring in new ideas, voices, and champions, which keeps the momentum of the movement going as more aligned stories are included, which in-turn helps catalyse narrative change.
This (online) inclusivity is a key accelerating narrative in the LGBTQ+ movement – and it’s accelerating with great strength. The strength comes from the intersectional stories being told which highlight everyday inequalities and injustices that still occur. These illuminations oppose the comfortable party Pride we have come to know which celebrates progress, allowing Pride to reinvent itself. This reinvention has resulted in stronger action pushing for LGBTQ+ inclusivity with the marginalised intersectional voices being prioritised – this made for a strong collision when Author J.K. Rowling made Trans exclusionary comments earlier this Pride month.
However, this inclusivity isn’t just online. Pride and #BlackLivesmatter have been rallying together online and in the streets to make change in light of the killing of George Floyd. And have even united their stories creating the hashtag #BlackTransLivesMatter.
But is this cooperation such a shock? With the renewed vow of intersectionality by the LGBTQ+ movement in 2017 when the brown and black stripes were added to the Pride flag, and the fact that #BlackLivesMatter have always affirmed their commitment to upholding all Black Lives and voices including those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, this feels like a somewhat inevitable joining of allies.
The original Stonewall Riots protests happened due to police brutality, so #BlackLivesMatter has a compelling villain which hits the historic nerve of the Stonewall Riots story and the LGBTQ+ movement at large. Although they are currently fighting different villains – equality is at the centre.
People need strong calls to adventure to make a deeper commitment to the cause.
The LGBTQ+ movement narratives have historically gone from Protest to Parade to Party, often forgetting that there is still a long way to go for true equality – so that all voices in the community are heard. The commitments that people have had to make to the stories have become somewhat easier, which has led to the creation of Pride™.
Rather than protest, people just have to pop on some bright colours, have a dance and call it a day, and corporates just have to hire a parade float whilst being able to run away from the actual change they can be making within their industries. And whilst I recognise the need to celebrate our accomplishments, we should not un-couple it with the progress that still needs to be made.
But, Pride 2020 is different. The need to go virtual because of COVID-19 and amidst the rallies for #BlackLivesMatter, Pride has a renewed sense of community-based grassroots protest. It is not all party, instead, it’s listening to those most marginalised in society and their needs for a good quality of life and basic human rights. These deeper commitments provide longer-term support to the movements’ story, and don’t rely on short-term nudges of action which party Pride currently provides. It’s about asking corporates and society at large whether we are really doing enough? For movements to keep moving, their story needs to make it clear the part that allies play, otherwise they accidentally repress the voice of the community they are actually trying to help. Instead, we need to provide them with renewed ways to commit deeper to the cause, which also holds up those in the community.
Action needs to be centre stage to keep a movement moving.
Just like people need a renewed way of committing to the journey of change, they also need action to keep the story moving. Action is one of the only things that can truly make a movement and not just a moment which dies a quick death after online virality. Our canvas framework asks for three challenges in a story, these challenges escalate and keep the story moving, they provide the action and therefore build on the momentum already created in the story. The three challenges are what creates the true change, both for the hero at the centre of the story and the external world which in-turn changes too.
Global Pride 2020 uses the three challenges really well with their asks being ‘Exist, Persist, Resist’ – three actions that can help create the change they want to see. These escalate, allowing for commitment to the journey of change to grow and they work in an inclusive way because no matter where your starting point in the journey is (exist, persist or resist), you can be included. The challenges are short and snappy but can be elaborated on for further direction, they are also to the point but broad enough that it can relate to the contexts of different community heroes and allies.
Global Pride’s challenges also align with the original Stonewall Riots challenges which were ‘Escalate, Sustain and Organise’ – this helps contemporise the story of Pride whilst also aligning to its history and the stories that people are already telling themselves. It builds, echoes and reaffirms history as we know it. By attaching it to an already established story it makes the potential of the story stronger and helps move it forward; it’s kind of like the advice which is often given for gaining new habits – attach it to an old habit so that it sticks easier. So, to keep up a movement’s momentum action should be at the centre of the story, even better, this action should align with the stories that people are already telling themselves.
Pride 2020 has been a defining moment in the LGBTQ+ Pride movement and we can all learn from it, but it is especially useful to storytellers who are part of movements and campaigns that are having to reinvent themselves amidst all that has happened in 2020. The stories being told right now and the shifts in narratives have shown that successful movements are all about momentum and knowing where to the place that momentum correctly within their stories. In my opinion, Pride 2020 has well and truly done this – how can you reinvent in a similar way?
Using the momentum provided from new champions, strong allies and shifts in society, Pride 2020 have managed to create one of the most authentic Prides in the modern LGBTQ+ movement. Of course, the community’s opinions on Pride are just as diverse as we are, but I agree with Serena Daniari that “Pride isn’t just a party. It’s a symbol of what’s possible: the ability to witness fully realized LGBTQ equality in my lifetime.” Pride 2020 has lived up to this vision with inclusivity/intersectionality, a renewed hunger for protest, and aligning with its history to create a community-based grassroots Pride.
The Center for Cultural Power shares a guide to COVID-19 era narratives as well as tools for artists and activists activating narrative through culture. No going back also offers movement policies to uplift artist relief and align community values.

What is the most beautiful and yet the most danger thing gifted to human mind?
For me it’s the power to imagine.
Imagination is so powerful that it has been the base of all magic , creation , innovation but also destruction.
Sometimes we have suffered more for this power of imagination, when we did imagine our misfortunes and felt scared,
But for me imagination has been a boon,
It saved me from losing myself,imagination helped me to create,imagination helped me to look for myself, imagination saved me.
Imagination is free of everything,there even my fishes can fly.

“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”
Jess Stewart makes a wide range of natural remedies to support Mums through the different stages of pregnancy and beyond. Here is a review of some of her products for babies and Mums
Baby Tum – This prediluted essential oil blend is designed to naturally support your baby’s digestive system. Maybe helpful if your baby is experiencing trapped wind, gas, bloating, tummy pains, constipation or colic-like symptoms. This was a beautiful oil to roll on baby’s tummy and gently massage to soothe her uncomfortable digestion.
Well Baby – Perfect to use when your baby is attending playgroups or preschool to help keep the bugs at bay. Can be used before and after vaccinations to support their immune system, or any time when baby is snuffly, congested, rundown or experiencing cough and cold like symptoms. Nice way to tickle baby’s feet while putting in some goodness.
Calm Baby – May be helpful if your baby is experiencing teething pain, fussiness, is restless, overtired, nervous, anxious, hard to settle to sleep or has difficulty staying asleep. We used it to help our little one fall off to sleep, and stay sleeping! Beautiful blend of relaxing oils, easy to roll onto feet before booties and bed.
Milk Drops – A prediluted essential oil blend that naturally supports breast milk production.

Q&A with Jess Stewart
What products do you offer?
I am a qualified medical herbalist and I make natural products and herbal remedies to support Mum’s wellness through the different stages of pregnancy, the birth and into the postpartum period. I also make products to support the wellness of babies and toddlers.
Why is this work so important to you?
I understand the physical, mental, and emotional challenges of being a new Mum. I’ve been there, I know how hard it can be. I also know from personal experience that natural remedies can help.
Could you tell us about how your interest in holistic healing began?
One of my earliest memories as a kid is of making up potions in the backyard using flower petals, weeds, grass, and dirt! I remember our Nana would read our tea leaves when we went to stay with her, and as a teenager I loved collecting crystals, and was fascinated by astrology. So, I guess I was always drawn towards holistic practices.
But it wasn’t until I experienced a bad bout of glandular fever in my early 20’s that I really started on my holistic journey. It left me struggling with extreme tiredness and fatigue and my liver was badly inflamed and not functioning properly. After many doctor visits and weeks and weeks off work, I finally visited an Ayurvedic practitioner that was recommended to me.
It changed my life! After just one month of working on dietary and lifestyle changes and taking the suggested herbs, I was feeling so much better (though I still had a lot of recovery ahead of me). It was a lightbulb moment – I realised that this was what I wanted to do and how I wanted to help people. So, I left my job and I signed up for 3 years of study to gain my Diploma in Herbal Medicine.
What obstacles did you face to get to where you are now and how did you overcome them?
The biggest challenge of my life was becoming a mum. The birth of my son was the most beautiful and empowering experience of my life. What I wasn’t fully prepared for were the realities of the postpartum period. Though I had read about it extensively, the real thing was one heck of a rollercoaster ride. I experienced some major lows during this time. I felt a huge sense of lost identity – where was the person I had been before becoming a mum, and would she ever come back? I often felt isolated and lonely. I felt anger and resentment that my husband got to leave every day, his life seemingly unchanged, while mine had been turned completely upside down. I was sleep deprived and exhausted. At times I felt completely overwhelmed and would just sit by my son’s cot and cry.
I got myself through this challenging time by supporting my body with herbs and foods that nourished my exhausted nervous system and replenished my energy and vitality.
I used affirmations, goals, and daily gratitude practice to focus my energy on what was good in my life and the things I enjoyed. I also did a lot of learning about self-love and self-care. I learnt that it wasn’t selfish to look after myself, it was actually my responsibility to do so. And that was really empowering and the major turning point for me.
It is what inspired me to create Hey Mama. I wanted to use my herbal knowledge and experiences to support other Mums to feel calmer, more balanced, and confident in themselves and empower them in their motherhood journey.
Who should seek your products for holistic wellness?
Any Mum or Mum-to-be who is interested in trying natural remedies and would like some support with their health and wellbeing.
Could you share a wellbeing tip with the community?
People are probably sick of hearing it, because it sounds too simple, but drinking 2L of water each day is one of the best things you can do to support your body!
If you could tell your younger self one thing what would it be?
Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Departure Season 3 Storyline:
The program is currently being produced. Consequently, a storyline summary is not yet available. The idea of the program has been broadened to include several investigations into disastrous incidents. In the first season, Kendra joined the team looking into the disappearance of flight BGA 716.
After a train with a disaster along the route, she becomes entangled in yet another inquiry in the second season. Politics and political conspiracies only contribute to the overall narrative in Season 3.
Kendra could elect to remain in the USA if the third season is extended, which would alter the dynamic of the group. The next season is expected to include Archie Panjabi as Kendra Malley, Kris Holden-Ried as Dominic Hayes, Florence Ordesh as Rose Tate, and Peter Mensah as Levi Hall.
The cast also includes Tyler Fayose as Arthur Delane, Tamara Duarte as Nadia, Mark Rendall as Theo, Allan Hawco as Richard Donovan, and Claire Forlani as Janet Friel.
Madelyn Strong, who is traveling from New York City to London to see her fiancé, Ali, misses her planned flight and boards British Global Air Flight 716 instead.
Captain Donovan, in command of the flight, seems disoriented. He locks the captain into the cockpit and seems to seize control of the plane with the intention of wrecking it.
BGA 716 has a violent decompression, with Madelyn and the first officer reportedly being ejected in midair. Kendra Malley, who was on leave from the TSIB following an accident that claimed her husband’s life, is called back in to head the investigation and locate the aircraft before those who survived die to cold. The plane vanishes over the Atlantic Ocean.
She is teamed with former police officer Dominic Hayes, who surmises right away that there is a connection between the disappearance and terrorism.
Dom learns Donovan was living a second life while conducting the probe. Search crews are able to find Madelyn after Kendra limits the search area utilizing pings from the plane ACARS system.
After being extricated from the collision scene, Madelyn was sent to the hospital in critical condition with potential concussion. It is questioned if Donovan’s husband knew about her second family but decided to tolerate it.
Dominic interrogates Ali about his prior detention at a demonstration outside the Syrian Embassy and about a parcel Madelyn gave him at the airport prior to departed; the item turns out to be a present Madelyn had left left in her ride share. After Madelyn wakes, Kendra tries to interview her but causes a seizure.
AJ struggles with his father Gavin’s passing because he believes that there were mysterious circumstances surrounding Kendra’s survival & Bartok’s potential participation in the vehicle accident that killed his father.
Israeli Mossad officers contact Kendra and Dominic after following them and revealing that Esmaili was a former double agent rather than a terrorist.
The British Navy finds the BGA 716 black boxes and uses a submersible to try to collect them, but the sub implodes after diving beyond crush depth, killing the pilot while AJ & his girlfriend Sophia observe through a malware installed on Kendra’s computer. Madelyn stumbles to awareness after being lost and confused, murmuring to Dominic before passing out once again.
Madelyn strives to make sense of what happened before the catastrophe as she slowly regains consciousness. A former coworker of Donovan’s comes toward claims that the night prior the collision, while under the influence of alcohol, Donovan confessed his desire to commit suicide the next day.
A key to a locker for storage is discovered during searches of Donovan’s home, and within is a flight simulator that has been pre-loaded with a virtual recreation of the disaster. The Mossad provides a sample of Email’s DNA; it differs from what was found in Madelyn’s raft.
After spray-painting a Bartok jet, AJ discovers that he is being sought by the police; as a result of their argument, Sophia departs from him.
He learns that his father had schizophrenia and attempted to murder himself & Kendra by purposefully wrecking the vehicle while off his medicine while spying on her via her computer.
A strange guy dressed in scrubs seems to try to poison Madelyn in the hospital, but instead injects her father, killing him.

Anant Raje is a graduate from National Law Institute University, Bhopal (Batch of 2012). He has an enviable academic record and an excellent series of internships at top law firms. He has multiple publications to his name. Soon after graduation he started working at Samvatsar Advocates and Associates, Indore where he worked for two years. Currently, he is pursuing Masters in Corporate and Financial Services Law from National University of Singapore.
In this interview, Anant talks about:
- Quitting job and aspiring for higher studies
- Choosing NUS, Singapore over LSE, London
- Writing an SoP and getting recommendation letters
Please introduce yourself to the readers. Tell us a little about your childhood and your background.
I am from Indore and have spent all my childhood there. I come from a family of doctors but chose a different career path. I graduated from NLIU Bhopal and am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Corporate and Financial Services Law at NUS Singapore.
When did you decide to take up law as a career? Tell us something about your college life. Being a law student, were you only focused on academics? How was the academic pressure?
I would not say that being a lawyer was a childhood dream. However, since a legal background seemed to be a consistent trend in the modern leadership and because law as a profession requires an individual to develop various aspects his personality, I found this attractively challenging.
The fact that I would be exposed to various subjects ranging from sociology to corporate law and at the same time get to participate in extra-curricular activities drew me towards the NLUs. This was the reason why I chose to take up mooting in college. I was lucky enough to do well in the internal pool selections and go on to represent the university in Jessup International Moot Court Competition, where our team won a memorial awardin the national rounds and Henry Dunant Moot Court Competition, where we made it to the Semi-finals and won the best memorial award.
For developing a habit of hard work and critical thinking, I would give credit to such competitions, publishing papers and the rigorous curriculum.
What were your areas of interest during your graduation? How did you go about developing expertise and knowledge in these areas?
Frankly, there were so many subjects to discover and know more about, that having interest in only one was tough. I was attracted to all of them and enjoyed watching them in action in the daily news. I did have some predilection towards Financial Law, Banking Law and Constitutional Law because of their large scale as well as grass-root level implications. It was for the same reason that I enjoyed Public International Law. It is deeply connected to international politics and its function in the international dynamics found my interest.
As I mentioned earlier, trying to find the application of such laws in the daily news went a long way in helping me understand these fields better. Mooting and internships contributed to a great extent.
As a law student which activities did you participate in? Tell us about your law school journey.
Apart from the extra-curriculars, I was engaged in several organisational activities in college. These included cultural events and inter-college moots and arbitration competitions. It was always satisfying to work along with my friends towards the success of such events. I also spent my spare time working on publication in law journals, both domestic and international as well as legal magazines.
I would say that the law school journey was rather enriching and rewarding. Living in a high competition environment teaches a person to work towards their goals even where success is a hard to get.
What kind of internships did you do while you were a student?
I tried to keep my internships as varied as possible from consumer forums and litigating firms to bigger law firms. One must remember that law is a field with too many options and one must explore them as widely as possible before making a choice. This kind of exploration provides us with a variety of experiences and a wide knowledge base.
Recently, you’ve joined National University of Singapore for LL.M. in Corporate & Financial Law. When you decided to quit job and pursue LL.M? What was your motivation behind doing LL.M.?
I had taken up a job with a firm in Indore as it did not have tightly compartmentalized teams and it gave me the option of exploring a variety of fields at the same place. It also gave me some time to prepare for the civil services exam without losing touch with the legal field. I had placed a predetermined limit on the years I would spend on it and although my attempt at the examination was not successful, it was enriching in itself; especially as a lawyer. On the parallel, my job enabled me to zero-in on the field of law that I would like to specialize in. The next step was to apply for LLM. From what I had understood and experience proved me right, was that LLM would familiarize me with the core concepts and principles of the relevant laws with a multi-jurisdictional approach. It increases one’s ability to understand the rationale behind the law and enables a person to apply it with acumen and dexterity.
How did you choose NUS over others? How did you go about choosing a university?
Amongst other options, choosing between LSE and NUS was the toughest. Both the universities had similar curriculums, I was getting the specialization of my choice and the professors were equally accomplished with years of practical experience. Of course LSE also has a bigger brand value. But the fact that many of the NUS modules had an international as well as Asia centric approach attracted me to the curriculum. In the duration of this course, we have been exposed to Asian, European as well as American laws and legal principles. Also, a full scholarship awarded to me by NUS made it the logical choice.
How did you go about writing your SOP? Are there any key factors which one should keep in mind before writing the SOP? How about recommendation letters? Who all recommended you to pursue LL.M?
I believe the best way to write an SOPs is by avoiding taking a leaf out of other’s books. It just has to be an original and honest statement about one’s own goals, accomplishments and reasons for pursuing the degree. It should, however, not be a baseless rhetoric. One must spend weeks on each SOP, crafted uniquely for each university. It needs to be based in a thorough research on the goals of that university, the background of the professors, their mission statements and the current developments in the relevant fields. Since, LLM courses do not have entrance exams, one’s CV, the SOPs and the recommendation letters go a long way in one’s selection.
It is best to approach the faculty that knows you best for the academic recommendation letters. It is best to plan it all well in advance and give the faculty enough time to write good recommendations. It also helps to send one’s CV across along with a request for recommendations to give them a reference of your accomplishments.
How different is the style of teaching at NUS? Do they focus more on the practical aspects of the law as compared to the NLUs?
As I said earlier, the curriculum at NUS is just what I had expected and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. The course always attempts to keep the larger picture in mind while dealing with the depths of the laws. The pedagogy is concept based and very practical. Even examinations require the candidates to write legal opinions and tender advice in hypothetical situations. The classroom environment is vibrant in most of the lectures and requires the students to speak up and analyse constantly. It really coaxes a person to think and not just accept what is being taught. Even in the NLUs some of the good teachers had a very similar approach. They did not care about whether a student is quoting the names of the cases right or regurgitating provisions verbatim. They required students to give logical and legally sound arguments and these are the subjects that I had understood best.
What is your topic of research for LL.M? Why did you choose that subject for research? How is your experience so far?
The course at NUS offers a variety of modules within a larger area of specialization and within each module there are research papers or assignments that need to be submitted. One has the option of choosing a topic of one’s own liking, subject to the professor’s approval. For example, in one such module I was required to device an enforcement regime for insider trading offences in financial markets and in another I wrote a paper on the legal nature of banker-customer relationship and its larger implications in regulatory laws. I found these modules very educational and thought inducing. They teach us to open up our minds to all the possible perspectives, analyse them and come up with novel arguments and suggestions. It is intellectually challenging and hence stimulating.
Does NUS provide students with scholarships? Are there any other institutions, which provide scholarships?
Yes NUS automatically considers every applicant for scholarships and awards them on the basis of merit. It is best to keep track of policy changes and exceptions introduced on their website. Apart from scholarships awarded by NUS, Indian students can rely on – JN Tata, KC Mahindra, Aga Khan Foundation Scholarships, Atur Foundation Scholarship, B.D Bangur Endowment (NIRMAN), Narotam Sekhsaria Scholarship, RD Sethna Scholarship Fund etc.
What is your view on the latest trend among law students to pursue Masters abroad? How much of a brain drain do you think this is?
People choose to take up masters for a variety of reasons. The most common trend is to seek opportunities abroad. One must, however, consider that law as a field is rather tightly knit in every country. It is rare, although not impossible that it would open up to an immigrant lawyer. An LL.M in itself would have some value but it is not a sure-fire method of finding jobs. It is best that it be complemented with clearing internationally respected Bar examinations for example the England and Wales Bar or the NY Bar. One could also consider examinations for Solicitorships or the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme and its equivalent in such jurisdictions. To be able to manage this within a year, one must plan it in detail before setting out to do an LLM.
What are your plans after completing Masters?
I wish to come back to India to work, preferably, in the field of banking and financial law.
Lastly, what would be your parting message for our readers?
It is best to take time in discovering what they truly want to do. Some figure it out sooner than the rest but one must not rush into the rat race. In the formative years as a lawyer, it best to seek experience and knowledge. They are the strongest assets that a legal professional can have.

The Qardio App detects irregularities in pulse and flags them as possible instances of Irregular Heart Beat. When this is detected, a message will be displayed atop your results. In addition, a "quivering heart" icon will be displayed next to that measurement in your history.
There are 2 conditions under which the signal of irregular heart beat will be displayed:
- The coefficient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
- The difference between adjacent pulse periods ≥0.14s and the number of such pulses constitutes more than 53 percent of the total number of pulses.
Excess movement detected during the measurement can also trigger this notification. This includes movement in the hands and fingers, or external vibrations such as that from a moving vehicle or a radio.
If you receive the Irregular Heart Beat notification frequently, we suggest reviewing your results with your healthcare provider.
QardioArm reinvents blood pressure monitoring, making it easy to track your heart health every day and share your progress. Learn more about smart blood pressure monitoring with QardioArm.

Navigating the realm of surety bond insurance and insurance can be confusing, but don’t worry!
This detailed guide helps to clear up some common misconceptions and provide insight on how these bonds work in various industries. At the end, you’ll have a greater understanding of differences between surety bonds and other types of policies.
Also know what roles are taken by involved parties when it comes to obtaining this type of bond or its related insurances.
- Surety bond insurance is a financial guarantee that ensures contractual obligations are met.
- It involves three parties: the principal, Obligee and surety, each with distinct roles.
- Surety bonds provide financial assurance to project owners and subcontractors in the construction industry by guaranteeing performance against government requirements.
Understanding Surety Bond Insurance
Surety bonds offer a financial assurance that involves three participants, with surety and insurance companies playing an imperative role in delivering various types of bond guarantees. These assurances are essential to many businesses, making certain contractual requirements are fulfilled while also offering protection against any monetary losses suffered by parties included in financially guarantees.
But how exactly does this type of surety work differently from traditional insurance policies? Now we shall delve into the multifaceted world of sureties for greater understanding.
The Role of Surety Bond Insurance and Surety Companies
Surety companies and insurance firms collaborate to offer surety bonds, guaranteeing that the principal meets their obligations. Before issuing any bond – such as down payment bonds or contract ones – they evaluate the risk level of said principals along with its financial situation.
In case this party does not fulfill its contractual obligations, then an insurance company will step in providing recompense for all losses suffered by those affected (Obligee). Sureties back these contracts, ensuring Obligees receive what was promised from them when agreements are signed by offering certain guarantees for performance related bonds issued on behalf of principals who cannot meet their own requirements otherwise.
Types of Surety Bonds
Surety bonds are used to guarantee contractual obligations, such as the completion of a project in accordance with its specifications and payment to subcontractors or suppliers.
For businesses, commercial surety bonds like performance bonds, permit bonds and construction guarantees ensure that they fulfill their responsibilities stated by contract. A court bond serves as an assurance against honoring orders from courts while bid bonding ensures contractors observe their own bids.
Overall these types of contract surety bonds provide security for all involved parties backed up by contracts adhered too through respective agreements created between business entities guaranteed through official issuers of said securities known colloquially as ‘bonds’.
The Three Parties Involved in Surety Bonds
Surety bonds are an essential component in many industries, particularly construction, and involve three key players in construction bonds – the principal, Obligee and surety. This bond guarantees that the responsible party will fulfill their obligations to project owners as well as subcontractors and suppliers.
To get a better understanding of this system’s meaning for each entity involved, it is important to analyze their respective roles.
The Principal stands at the center of these proceedings with legal liabilities stemming from any other agreements made or claims received. They can be held liable if all parties do not carry out what has been agreed upon legally.
On one side is usually found an Obligee who requires protection against possible breaches by another involved business partner – on such occasions it is up to Sureties then issuing compensation should those duties remain unattended in certain circumstances outlined beforehand between them both without interference from third parties/non-involved persons.
The Principal’s Responsibilities
The party contracting the surety bond must make good on its obligations and financial guarantee to the Obligee, placing them as principal at risk should any claims be made against it. It is their responsibility to meet all contractual agreements set forth in the terms of said bond while providing an assurance of themselves that they will hold up their end of those contracts. In other words, it’s essential for them to provide a warranty for delivering expected performances meeting or exceeding expectations outlined within such bonds.
The Obligee’s Role
The oblige is the one who sets the requirements for and benefits from a bond’s protection.
This includes laying out all terms of agreement and having legal power to pursue and obtain monetary reimbursement should there be any failure by the principal in meeting financial obligations. In that event, it will then fall on the surety company to investigate whether reparation could or should be demanded from said party obligated under this binding contract between them, protecting against potential losses incurred due to non-fulfillment of obligations.
The Surety’s Guarantee
The surety bond type of arrangement involves the surety company which serves as a guarantor, providing assurance to the Obligee that all obligations of principal will be fulfilled. This is achieved by providing a financial guarantee or insurance backing from the bonds issued by the surety bond company.
In case of any claims being made against such contracts, the principal then reimburses what has been paid out for settlement to them through an indemnity agreement set between both parties. In other words, securing funds again should there have been expenditure on settling liabilities off earlier occasions.
The role played here by the insurance company is a critical piece of this entire puzzle and holds paramount importance towards assuring financial security to everyone involved in a shareholder relationship with respect to these type commitments altogether.
Obtaining a Surety Bond: The Process
When it comes to obtaining a surety bond, having an in-depth comprehension of the criteria and factors involved is key. The process involves several stages including selecting the right type of bond, presenting all necessary documents and taking into account elements that may alter premiums.
In order for you to be successful at getting your desired bonding coverage, understanding both requirements related to surety bonds as well as cost components impacting them must not be overlooked or ignored.
Factors Affecting Surety Bond Premiums
The premiums of surety bonds depend on numerous factors, such as credit score and years in the industry.
A different kind of bond carries a distinct risk level which can influence premium rates too. Credit scores are looked at for both an obligation’s principal and overall contract details to determine what the total bond amount should be along with any related risks that must be taken into account.
All these elements have a great bearing on how much you pay when it comes to your sureties’ premiums.
Timeline for Securing Surety Bond Insurance

Surety Bonds vs. Insurance Policies
When looking closer, surety bonds and insurance policies appear to be different entities in terms of risk management and the associated parties. Surety bonds are a financial guarantee that enables the principal to fulfill its commitments while insurance plans provide coverage for cover losses from unforeseen circumstances or illegal actions.
In order to better understand these differences, we will focus on how surety bonds perform within risk management activities as well as the involved persons connected with them.
How Surety Bonds Work
Surety bonds function as a financial assurance, ensuring the principal observes their responsibilities. It is legally binding contracts linking three parties: principal, Obligee and surety. The surety bond ensures that the principal fails the main party will satisfy its duties to the Obligee providing both economic security and construction peace of mind.
Contrary to insurance policies which offer coverage for potential losses due to unforeseen conditions, insurance policies ultimately bid bonds serve an alternative purpose while also involving other participants. With surety bonds work process.
The Role of Risk Management in Surety Bonds
Surety bonds offer a vital form of risk management for both parties involved, providing indemnity guarantees to any affected third party in the event that payment on supply bonds is not delivered. To ensure this protection and accountability from all sides, underwriting examines creditworthiness as well as financial stability while also securing collateral backing for potential defaults.
The surety bond process provides an assurance that risks related to each entity’s activities are fully managed. Minimizing or eliminating damage caused by one of the said parties on another individual or business.
Surety Bond Insurance in the Construction Industry
Surety bonds are essential in the construction sector for assuring financial security and protecting project owners, subcontractors, as well as complying with government regulations.
These contract bonds guarantee that contractors fulfil their contractual obligations by completing jobs on time, paying all relevant parties accordingly and abiding to any conditions imposed on them from either those involved or governmental statutes.
This serves to safeguard against losses caused by non-payment of costs incurred or not adhering to various commitments made during a contract period.
Protecting Project Owners and Subcontractors
Surety bonds are provided by surety companies, as a financial guarantee to protect parties involved in a construction project from the potential losses due to non-fulfillment of contractual obligations.
These contract surety bonds serve an essential role for both contractors and subcontractors in guaranteeing that any predetermined obligations will be met.
Insurance providers also offer such guarantees alongside assurance from surety firms ensuring full protection against default or failure to meet promised duties on behalf of their customers who take part in the job at hand.
Meeting Government Requirements
Surety bonds are a necessary element in construction projects, needed to meet the requirements of multiple government agencies.
The Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Small Business Administration (SBA), high-cost federal contracts and capital requirements all necessitate surety bond approval by relevant governmental entities before proceeding with any project.
Surety is essential for reducing public risk exposure on state and national levels within this industry as well.
It ensures compliance financially along with fulfilling all obligatory stipulations. Thus guaranteeing successful completion of every job it’s associated with from start to finish, making surety an integral part of the overall construction experience.
Common Misconceptions About Surety Bond Insurance
Surety bonds are often mistaken for insurance policies, leading to confusion about what a surety actually is and its purpose.
A principal’s obligations must be fulfilled in order for a bond to take effect instead of another form of insurance. The parties involved need clarification from all sides.
To clear up this misunderstanding concerning surety and make distinctions between it and an insurance policy more evident, we will analyze their respective roles better.
The True Purpose of Surety Bond Insurance
Surety bonds act as a financial guarantee, offering businesses protection from potential losses due to the principal’s failure in fulfilling their contractual obligations.
The surety bond is not an insurance policy. Rather it serves to affirm that the principal will comply with all agreements and stay committed throughout.
Understanding how these two products differ enables companies to make educated decisions when selecting which one better meets their requirements for security and trustworthiness.
Summary of Surety Bond Insurance
Surety bonds are an integral part of several industries, especially construction, providing financial security and upholding contractual obligations.
Companies can make better decisions with the understanding of different aspects related to this type of bond compared to most insurance policies, – involving all parties involved from both sides: bonding companies plus businesses in need.
With these facts at hand, businesses will have a more secure footing when tackling issues concerning surety bonds or other assurance forms like insurance agreements as they traverse their path towards success.

Use your grill
Cooking outside somehow seems to taste better. Use your grill or fireplace to cook up some hamburger patties or hotdogs and have an affordable but awesome picnic close to home.
Closing Thoughts on Picnic Perfection on a Budget
Outdoor dining is awesome. And remember, it’s not always about how much money you spend. A little bit of creativity can go a long way!

Constructed in 1904, the two-story yellow Thurmond Train Station seen today, was the replacement for the passenger depot lost in the fire of 1899.
The station platform is partly sheltered by a slanted roof that stretches out from the first story. The extended section of the upper-level features eight windows and functioned as an observation deck and a signal tower.
On the interior, along with the standard ticket agent booth, waiting rooms, and restrooms, the ground floor housed multiple amenities like a baggage room for storage, Railway Express delivery service for packages arriving on the train, a lunch counter and news counter. Upstairs was made up of separate office spaces for the yardmaster responsible for overseeing operations within the yard area; conductors who manage passenger boarding and safety during travel; train operator stationed in the signal tower to control train movements; track supervisor ensuring maintenance of tracks; car distributor overseeing distribution of railway cars; chief clerk managing administrative tasks; train master supervising overall train operations; and coal buyer responsible for purchasing coal supplies.
A boomtown in the 1900s, Thurmond, West Virginia, was one of the busiest and most notorious railroad towns along the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Right in the heart of the coal country, all the coal mined in the area was brought to Thurmond to be shipped out. Over fifteen passenger trains traveled through town daily, and the depot served around 75,000 visitors a year. When the diesel locomotives came along, and coal was not as widely used or mined, the businesses closed down, and residents moved on.
Today, Thurmond is not much more than a ghost town with only seven residents (2005). Located along the New River, what remains of the town is owned by National Park Service and is part of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.
Like a time capsule, Thurmond still possesses all the characteristics of a 1920s Appala

This is my next inspiration piece for Michelle's Creative Warriors.
As it is Valentine's Day I wanted to add a Heart.
I have decorated the cover of a junk journal and am sharing the first page...
Firstly I made a cover to a junk journal, printing the images on tissue paper and then adding sprays and stencilling. The letters are using handmade foam stamps.
I added penwork and splatter.
I used my sewing machine to stitch in pages.
Secondly for the first page in my junk journal I printed the images on white card and painted them with shimmery water colours before cutting them out. This time I used one of Karen's sentiments at the top and bottom.
"Fleuris là où tu es plantée," is an old French saying meaning, “Bloom where you are planted.” It is attributed to Saint François de Sales in the 16th Century.
I'm not sure if you can see the shimmer in the photos.
I will link this page to Leigh's 2022 Challenge #2 Let Love Bloom

Reforms 2.0: 9 Things Arun Jaitley Can Do To Unleash The Economy
The government is moving in the right direction, but rather slowly. It needs to go beyond procedural changes and strike at some very basic wrong premises that hold back India’s growth. Here are 9 major reform areas that come to our mind.
Yesterday, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley promised “a whole set of second generation reforms” in the Budget proposals that he is going to present before Parliament in February 2015. He said the reforms called for some “undoing”: Allocation of resources without the executive exercising discretion, a rational and reasonable tax regime and some procedural changes in land laws, among other things.
1. Beyond Incrementalism
It is in the language of the third that status quoism that the minister has been accused of, manifests. Procedural changes as well as freeing business from legal hassles had marked his first Budget announcements, but that clearly did not satisfy the liberal intellectuals who campaigned for a BJP government or the people who shunned their old favourites to vote for a Narendra Modi-led dispensation during the Lok Sabha elections to see an employment-generating, paralysis-free policy in place.
2. Land Acquisitions
It is wrong premises—more than lengthy procedures—that stunt India’s growth. In the case of land, for example, government must cease to be a broker. A hands-off regime will not only set the ruling party free from the accusation of being guided by cronies, but will also send personal property prices hurtling down while helping stop generation of black money needed to book a piece of earth in this country.
In case of acquisition, let it be a direct deal between the industry and the land owner; in case of housing, let there be no registration hassles. Government’s job should be restricted to oversight of compliance with regulations. Once land is acquired, an increase in its value will not lead to agitation by farmers who would regret having charged less for the land that is no longer theirs. For, only the State can be subjected to activism; private parties can’t.
As the Lok Satta Party had put it last year in reaction to the UPA government-made law, “in the guise of helping the farmer, the Bill creates all sorts of bureaucratic hurdles in the shape of committees at the district, state and central levels for clearing land acquisition”.
The party’s then president Dr Jayaprakash Narayan had said that the children of farmers who parted with land should be equipped with skills and provided jobs in activities that follow land acquisition. He recalled that he had the privilege of training 8,000 children of farmers who parted with their land for the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and providing permanent jobs to all of them. The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act is silent on this aspect.
The people get a raw deal, too. More than 50% of land allotted to special economic zones (SEZs) across the country remains idle. The SEZs’ very purpose was defeated with no significant increase in employment even as the government’s revenue foregone was to the tune of Rs 83,000 crore between 2007 and 2013, according to the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
Will the NDA Government change the scenario? On 12 November, The Indian Express reported:
“Worried about the adverse political fallout of watering down provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, the NDA government is unable to decide whether to go ahead with its plan to amend the Act in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament or try and build a larger consensus on the issue. Sources said the government is even toying with the idea of taking the ordinance route after the winter session of Parliament to effect key but politically sensitive changes to the Act. In fact, the government had earlier also mulled issuing an ordinance to give effect to the changes but the move did not fructify.”
True, this columnist had explained to Swarajya’s readers in his 23 October article that the new government was committed to reforms, but it would usher in changes keeping their political implications in mind. However, that cannot perpetually stay as the government’s excuse, especially after the BJP’s remarkable victories in Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections. If 288 seats in Parliament were not enough to instil confidence in Team Modi, the BJP will be in a better position to send its representatives to the Rajya Sabha with more states in its kitty, which its Upper House MPs can represent by the time February 2015 arrives. Still, will “procedural changes” be all that the people will get from Jaitley’s next Budget?
3. How about disinvestment?
The government is indeed moving in the right direction, but rather slowly. The disinvestment programme for 2014-15 seems to have kicked off in right earnest with the Cabinet clearing the sale of government stake in three major public sector companies—Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Coal India (CIL) and National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC). The sale of 5 per cent stake in ONGC, 10 per cent in CIL and 11.36 per cent in NHPC will generate over Rs.45,000 crore at current market prices. But what about several other businesses that, according to Modi’s pre- as well as post-election speeches, government had no business to be in?
The Indian State is a strange authority that once nationalised domains where competition was possible and privatised those where it wasn’t. Tata Airlines, Oriental Life Insurance Company and other insurance companies, 20 privately owned banks, etc were once forced to sell their stakes to Indira Gandhi’s government. Air India, Life Insurance Corporation, etc sprung up in their place and banks were now State-owned while retaining with their old names in most cases. On the other hand, State electric and water supply contracts are being gifted on a platter to private industries, even though if the customer is not satisfied with the services, he can in no way switch from one supplier to another.
Shouldn’t government stop running hotels and airlines and being the country’s chief moneylender forthwith?
4. Smart Welfare
When it comes to replacing subsidies by direct benefits transfer (DBT) via Aadhaar, bank accounts, Su-Pay, debit cards, and mobile payments, for instance, the subsidies on cooking gas and kerosene will soon be transferred to bank accounts of beneficiaries. The UPA government was handicapped by the Supreme Court judgement that said Aadhaar could not be forced down people’s throats for DBT. But Jan Dhan Yojana coupled with Aadhaar reaching Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand means an increase in the number of people with unique identification numbers to 1 billion by the end of 2015.
Government must now rely on an anticipated human reaction; when some people get the benefits and others don’t, there will be a rush among those left out to secure their Aadhaar cards. DBT must, therefore, not be delayed any further.
5. Coal Mining
The NDA Government moved on 20 October to open up the coal industry to commercial mining, signalling the most serious shift in 42 years toward allowing private players full participation in the sector. But procrastination is writ large on its announcements. While the industry will be opened as and when required, no timeline has been set. Further, no foreign company will be allowed to do commercial mining.
This isn’t totally liberal, but acceptable nationalism. Once coal-bearing land is taken back from private companies whose mining licences were cancelled by the apex court in September, the government will hold an electronic auction of the mines for steel, power and other companies for their own consumption in three to four months; this transparency is welcome. Now the status quo: No changes are being made to the structure of Coal India.
6. Fixing the Railways
Liberals were quite happy with the first Railway Budget of this government, but then came the rude shock of removal of D.V. Sadananda Gowda from the ministry. News of the Cabinet reshuffle was immediately followed by a report that the former Railway Minister was not able to get his job done. Why was he then put in the Law Ministry that is crying for judicial reforms?
But this article is about economic reforms. Mercifully, a go-getter Suresh Prabhu has been put at the helm. The new committee on rail restructuring will come out with multiple reports on different themes. Before the next Railway Budget, the committee’s first interim report should be submitted. If the government desires, these recommendations can be implemented in a phase-wise manner.
7. Labour Law Reforms
India’s labour laws are archaic, suffering from a 19th century impression about capitalists, thereby making capital investments virtually impossible. Rigid laws discourage firms to introduce new technology, as that sometimes entails retrenchment. This deters FDI because of the fear that it would not be possible to dismiss unproductive workers or to downsize during a slowdown. Hence, getting FDI into export-oriented, labour-intensive sectors in India has not been fully achieved.
The Industrial Disputes Act (1947) has rigid provisions such as compulsory and prior government approval in the case of layoffs, retrenchment and closure of industrial establishments employing more than 100 workers. A 21 days’ notice and employees’ consent are required if the job content or nature of work of employees needs to be changed, as per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act (1970). The Trade Union Act (1926) provides for the creation of trade unions where even outsiders can be office-bearers. This hurts investor faith and restricts economic growth.
Amendments to some restrictive provisions of the Factories Act (1948), the Labour Laws Act (1988) and the Apprenticeship Act (1961) have been cleared by the Cabinet and are set to be tabled in Parliament. The punitive clause that calls for the imprisonment of company directors who fail to implement the Apprenticeship Act of 1961 is sought to be dropped. Employers will no longer be required to absorb at least half of the apprentices in regular jobs if the amendments pass parliamentary muster.
Doubling the provision of overtime from 50 hours a quarter to 100 hours in some cases and from 75 hours to 125 hours in others involving work of public interest is on the cards. Companies with 10-40 employees will be exempt from having to furnish and file returns on various aspects, helping avoid procedural delays. But there is no proposal to increase low worker productivity in the country.
8. The Insurance Sector Needs Reforms Too
In the insurance sector, thankfully, the BJP, as the then main Opposition party, had not made as much of a noise of protest as it had made against FDI in retail. Observers will, therefore, be less stuck with the irony that it is pushing for more or less the same Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill it had opposed when the UPA had proposed it. That does not make the going easy in Parliament, though.
The Trinamool Congress, JD(U) and CPI(M) have decided to oppose it, while the Congress and BSP have held their cards close to the chest on the first day of the winter session. It’s not just about increasing FDI in the sector from 26 per cent to 49 per cent. The proposed law gives more power to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) to decide on expenses of the insurers. This, among other things, allows the regulator to stitch a new commission structure for distributors.
The industry has seen blatant and unabated accounts of wrong sales, but punitive damages on the erring party have been few and far between. Accountability is needed to bring fair market practices to the industry. The Bill also puts the onus on the insurer to tighten its underwriting norms. Currently, an insurer has a window of two years after a policy is bought to reject a claim on grounds of any mis-statement or fraud. After two years, the insurer can still reject a claim on grounds of fraud such as intentional suppression of material information.
The Bill, however, gives insurers three years to establish this, after which the insurer will not be able to reject a claim on any grounds. This will curb the practice of underwriting a customer at the time of claim instead of at the time of buying the policy. The Bill and the proposed amendments gives more power to the regulator and brings in several customer-friendly reforms. It defines quantum of penalty on specific violations such as insurance sale through unlicensed entities and clearly prohibits damaging sales practices such as multi-level marketing.
9. Let’s go easy on Taxes
Finally, taxes have been the biggest disappointment. While the Finance Minister said before his last Budget—and has maintained so thereafter—that he is personally for a wider tax net but lower tax rates, the exemption was upped in his Budget by a measly Rs 50,000 per annum.
Elsewhere, how much RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan’s reluctance to reduce lending rates has curbed inflation is unknown, but the middle class, whose lives run on how efficiently they manage the monthly liability of instalments, has certainly got no relief. Goods and Services Tax is now the buzzword; hopefully, the states, which have been offered a good share from the consolidated tax, will not object. But what happens to competitiveness of indigenous products with imported ones in the scenario to follow is not clear.
Further, with a tough fiscal deficit target of 4.1 per cent of GDP, slack tax revenues and the challenge of raising a record $9.5 billion target from asset sales could force Jaitley to cut spending, risking a fragile economic recovery.

We test the core ideas of the "automata" approach to bounded rationality, using simple experimental bandit tasks. Optimality requires subjects to use a moderately complex decision procedure, but most subjects in our baseline condition instead use simpler (often sub-optimal) procedures that economize on "states" in the algorithmic structure of the rule. When we artificially remove the mental costs of tracking states by having the computer track and organize past events, subjects abandon these simpler rules and use maximally complex optimal rules instead. The results thus suggest that the main type of complexity described in the automata literature fundamentally influences behavior.

Benefits of Machine Learning in E-Commerce
E-commerce businesses can reap numerous rewards from incorporating Machine Learning into their operations. Here are 11 key advantages of using Machine Learning in e-commerce:
1. Improved Customer Retention and Satisfaction
Nobody will contest the fact that maintaining relationships with current clients is simpler and less expensive than finding new ones. Loyal consumers are crucial for your business’s growth and development. The only thing that unites client acquisition and retention solutions are that both situations will benefit from improving the customer experience.
By using predictive analytics to understand customer preferences and behavior, machine learning can assist e-commerce organizations in increasing customer satisfaction and retention. Machine learning algorithms can identify trends in customer behavior and provide personalized suggestions for goods and services that cater to their individual needs by evaluating vast volumes of data. Higher client happiness, greater customer loyalty, and repeat business may arise.
Customer satisfaction and retention are becoming increasingly important as competition in the e-commerce market grows.
2. Increasing Sales and Marketing Success
You’ve likely already seen that several marketing strategies that were effective a few years ago have completely lost their effectiveness. If you don’t develop the ability to foresee trends and modify your plan, marketing budgets become true money pits.
Machine learning enables your company to increase client lifetime value and retention through more personalized marketing, predict customer churn, and dynamically change prices without sacrificing profit margins.
With the growth of big data, machine learning is becoming a more crucial tool for e-commerce businesses looking to improve marketing and boost sales.
3. Automating Back Office Task
Many routine tasks simply prevent your employees from focusing on the more difficult and analytical jobs. It is simple to delegate document management, customer service, and warehouse management to machine learning to cut operating expenses and losses from returns.
As companies look to streamline their operations and boost productivity, machine learning is becoming increasingly popular for automating back-office chores.
4. More Effective Fraud Detection and Data Protection
Why is it so important to catch fraud? Because this is a component that fosters trust! A client who lost faith in your service will never return. When building profiles, customers entrust you with their sensitive financial information. Therefore, preventing fraud is of utmost importance, and using machine learning to identify eCommerce fraud lets you foresee hostile behavior and protect your brand.
As the risk of fraud and data breaches increases, machine learning for fraud detection and protection is taking on more significance in the e-commerce sector.
5. Product Recommendations and Personalization Improvements
Machine learning can improve project recommendations and customize the shopping experience for customers of e-commerce enterprises. Machine learning algorithms can create customized product and service suggestions by evaluating vast volumes of customer data to find trends in client behavior. Increased consumer engagement, higher conversion rates, and greater customer satisfaction may result.
As consumers demand a more individualized buying experience, personalization and customization are becoming more and more significant in the market.
6. Pricing and Inventory Management Optimization
By analyzing large amounts of data to find patterns in consumer behavior and industry trends, machine learning may assist e-commerce enterprises in optimizing pricing and inventory management. Through better decision-making around pricing, inventory control, and product sourcing, firms may be able to operate more effectively and generate more revenue.
Businesses are increasingly utilizing machine learning to optimize their pricing and inventory management methods as the e-commerce market’s level of competitiveness rises.

Under Larsen, who took up the selector’s role in 2015, New Zealand enjoyed tremendous success across formats, including reaching the finals of the 2019 50-over World Cup and 2021 T20 World Cup, and winning the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) in 2021.
“The past seven-and-a-half years have just flown by and I’ve relished and enjoyed every minute of it,” Larsen said in an NZC media release.
“The discussions and deliberations have always been robust and challenging but my enduring memory will always be the quality of the people I’ve worked with – from high performance right through to the administration.”
Larsen will be overseeing both the men’s and women’s high performance programmes at Warwickshire.
“WCCC is a club with an amazing history and tradition and I’m looking forward to joining the team and helping to drive the club’s ongoing success,” Larsen said. “I have a number of great memories of playing at Edgbaston during my New Zealand playing days and the atmosphere was simply terrific.”
NZC’s GM High Performance Bryan Stronach spoke highly of Larsen’s contribution to New Zealand cricket as a selector.
“Gavin was part of a support team that made a key contribution to arguably the most successful period in the history of the New Zealand men’s team,” Stronach said.
“His appointment at Edgbaston reflects the respect in which he’s held around the cricketing world.”
Stronach added that the process to find a new selector will begin in due course.

Officials with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre say they have found the wreck of a Cessna 208 aircraft that was reported missing, ending a five-day aerial search over a remote region of northwestern Ontario.
Both occupants in the plane died before search-and-rescue technicians arrived on the scene. Their names have not been released.
The plane was reported missing on Tuesday. It was flying a route between Nakina, Ont. — roughly 345 kilometres north of Thunder Bay — and Eabametoong First Nation.
The search was challenging due to the remote nature of the region where the plane went down. The region is rugged, with snow, trees and valleys that made it difficult to find the aircraft.
The missing plane was discovered in an area south of Chaucer Lake, Ont., on Saturday morning, officials said in a news release issued later in the day.
The search involved five Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft, helicopters from Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources, the Canadian Coast Guard and the Ontario Provincial Police, and two aircraft operated by the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will investigate the reasons why the plane crashed.

There’s really nothing comforting about job losses and downsizing if it happens to you or someone you love is effected; however, from a macroeconomic point of view only, the current round of business reactions is something of a return to cyclical normalcy. From that perspective we have moved to the ‘situation normal, all fouled up’ (or something stronger) stage of the business cycle, where the degradation of demand dictates that businesses cut expenses to attempt to remain profitable, or stem the red ink.
Again, not good news, but given the chaotic beginnings of this recession, the layoffs are the beginning of a predictable response to the rythym of the cycle, and mark the response by business that is needed to begin the recovery.
The out-of-sequence part of this downturn was the credit disaster. What normally occurs is that slowing cyclical demand begins to cause inventory problems (for example building too many offices slows demand, which eventually leads to too many cans of paint, sheets of drywall, etc, in warehouses). As inventories stagnate, payment slows down and defaults occur. In response to higher defaults and longer credit cycles, the banks and financial institutions tighten (and sometimes freeze) credit. The slowing economy, coupled with a lack of credit, forces layoffs, consumer belt-tightening, and general austerity until demand becomes so pent up that expansion begins anew.
Because this cycle started with credit extended on the basis of rising home values that stopped rising, the unwinding of the financial support for real estate and construction began before the normal erosion of demand. Now that businesses are recognizing that 2009 will be tough and are responding by reducing overhead, the process of reaching the bottom (and therefore the beginning of recovery) can begin.
This is no consolation for the pain we’re experiencing, and there is no assurance that bottom isn’t still a ways off, but the single biggest issue facing the investment side of the economy has been the terrifying uncertainty that has prevented investors from assigning value to risk, and to the financial system. Construction relies on investors assessing the risk of development relative to the lost opportunity of missing out on demand. Judging demand is tough enough, but when investors can’t be secure about how likely the debt they are buying into can be repaid, they will pass on the opportunity.
It’s no different with jobs. When even a thriving business can’t be sure if its customers will really be buying in six months, there’s little chance it will hire or expand.
When the wheels come off and people lose their jobs or their houses, that’s a fouled up situation, but in the course of an economic contraction, it’s also normal.

I am writing this note from Vaxholm, Sweden. This is an island accessible by taking a ferry from Waxholmsbolaget in Stockholm. I grabbed a coffee this morning and embarked on the ferry to explore. It’s the summer of 2023, the peak season for tourists to come and relish the blooming displays across Europe, coupled with monuments, sculptures, and historic landmarks that once served purposes other than being admired. Boarding the ferry was smooth, facilitated by a ramp, and I settled amidst numerous tourists who were avidly capturing snapshots of the passing islands.
It takes approximately 90 minutes, during which you traverse several smaller islands with houses with colorful rooftops. One might wonder about the inhabitants and whether they appreciate the green surroundings against the expansive, cool blue waters of the Baltic Sea. Nevertheless, my focus lies more on the ferry’s passengers. One can observe budding love stories as couples grapple with the wind to capture joint photos. Children are engrossed in their devices, discovering alternate worlds, occasionally interrupted by parents urging them to witness the beauty of the Stockholm Archipelago.

Love matures as elderly couples embrace each other, cruising through the water. However, the love story that captures my heart is that of a lone man in the corner, donning khaki shorts and a white shirt. Likely in his late 50s, he too is bound for the island. Why do I deem this a love story? Because I’ve gleaned a life lesson that I’ll share with you, Sofia. Every story is a love story; the question is, what does that love entail?
With a triple latte in hand, I witness the ever-changing landscapes before me. Deeply thankful for the gift of sight, I yearn to continue witnessing Allah’s beauty in this world. Amidst these thoughts, you frequently cross my mind, prompting me to pen this note during my journey, addressing you. After all, we’re delving into the realm of love, aren’t we?
You’re currently three years old, and in this short span, you’ve provided me with numerous inspiring moments. When you were a baby of a few months, we’d share hours of laughter. You taught me that laughter doesn’t need jokes or profound words. You’d nestle your head against my chest and fall asleep, evoking feelings of safety and warmth. On the night before I departed for Sweden, you slept in my room. I woke up in the middle of the night to gaze at your face bathed in neon pink night light, and a pang of sorrow struck me at the thought of missing this sight each day.
But what you did the next day will forever give me chills. You hugged me, cupped my face in your hands, and cast a look of disappointment as I left – leaving you. How could I ever truly leave you? I treasure the moments we shared, your presence in my lap as I wheeled around on the roads. We’d spot birds and cats and make inside jokes. Your smile could light up a street, infusing joy. In my mental file cabinets, you were referred to as the “cooler” of my life, akin to an air conditioner providing relief from life’s heat.
When I revisited Pakistan, you were already walking and talking. You effortlessly found your way to my lap, and we fell in shared laughter and play. Amid these moments, I wondered how you perceived safety in my presence. Among the countless instances where I held you and interacted, one memorable moment stands out. You sat on my lap, nursing from your bottle, and at one point, you paused to meet my gaze with an intense look. I met your gaze, attempting to decode your expression. It was as if you were asking, “Is it truly you who’s returned?” I averted my eyes, overcome by a tinge of sadness knowing that I’d soon depart again. Presently, seated in Vaxholm, I stare across the Baltic Sea. While I’ve explored the island to some extent, it regrettably doesn’t offer much beyond charming houses that remain out of reach.
In such circumstances, I roam around the landscapes of my mind, where my thoughts are mixed with drama, offering endless avenues for exploration. It dawns on me that I’m living my dreams. I travel on my terms, carving out a space for myself adorned with a hijab on my head and a spare bottle in my bag.
While my leadership skills are often geared towards locating ramps and elevators, the effort is worthwhile, and I cherish every moment. My projects are products of my imagination, somehow securing funding. Who wouldn’t revel in being paid to engage in what they love? Someday, you too will experience a similar or even deeper sense of serenity in your life. Armed with your strong personality and compassionate heart, you’ll carve a path that leaves everyone in awe. I’ll be there to support you, to have your back, and occasionally to guide you into stages. However, there will be instances when I will linger in the background, content to witness your radiance from afar.
My day is complete; I’ve wrapped up meetings, met deadlines, and fulfilled my tasks. I’ve snacked on a salad and watermelon. But the sweetness in my mouth is nothing in comparison to the sweetness of my thoughts of you. A peculiar excitement courses through me at the prospect of witnessing you evolve into a poised young lady, continuing to inspire me effortlessly. I’ll now conclude this letter and board the ferry back to Stockholm, from where I’ll catch a train to return to my home city. Yet, my sense of fulfillment for the day unequivocally stems from cherishing my moments with you and the anticipation of those yet to come.

Tamiyo, Field Researcher
Planeswalker — Tamiyo
+1: Choose up to two target creatures. Until your next turn, whenever either of those creatures deals combat damage, you draw a card.
-2: Tap up to two nonland permanents. They don't untap during their controller's next untap step.
-7: Draw three cards.You get an emblem with "You may cast nonland cards from your hand without paying their mana costs."

So, by my count:
Grixis or "Maestros" is covered plenty by the nearly absurd amount of Nicol Bolas' that exist, so no worries there;
Jund or "Riveteers" have Lord Windgrace, also from a commander pre-con;
Naya or "Cabaretti" has no prints, but has been a challenge;
Jeskai or "Raugrin" has Narset of the Ancient Way
Temur or "Ketria" has the aforementioned Sarkhan Unbroken;
Sultai or "Zagoth" has none but has been a challenge;
Abzan, or "Indatha" has none but has been a challenge;
And finally, Mardu, or "Savai" has Dihada, Binder of Wills from a commander pre-con.
Sheesh. That's a load of my memory dumped. Ok, so for the challenge!
Since my favorite tri-color has been done, (Abzan ftw) I'll do my back up: Grixis!
Begard, Deceitful Beggar
Legendary Planeswalker - Begard
~ enters the battlefield under an opponent's control. At the beginning of ~'s controller's endstep, if they did not activate a loyalty ability of ~, they discard a card, lose 5 life, and sacrifice a non-land permanent other than ~.
0: ~'s owner creates a 1/1 Black Rogue creature token with deathtouch and "If this creature would deal damage to a planeswalker, instead, put an additional loyalty counter on it."
-1: ~'s owner draws 2 cards, and creates 2 Treasure Tokens.
-3: ~'s owner may search their library for a card and put it into their hand.
-9: ~'s owner gains control of all permanents ~'s controller owns. All creatures gain Haste until the end of the turn.
How do you get to that elusive -9? maybe some proliferate strategies? lol. Good pay off if you can get to it, or a great politic card I think!

Turn 3) Drop a walker like Ugin, the Spirit Dragon or Karn Liberated or Tamiyo, Field Researcher or Tezzeret, Artifice Master or Teferi, Temporal Archmage. - At this point, depending on Turn 2, you would ult one of them or use a + ability and pass
Turn 4) Ult your walker and hope for a hit. Ideally: - You'd either be restarting the game with Karn Liberated, using the + ability you had to give an advantage on whatever was exiled. - Using Ugin, the Spirit Dragon to play Teferi, Temporal Archmage and The Chain Veil for infinite Ugin, the Spirit Dragon + ability triggers to kill - Using Tezzeret, Artifice Master to search for the last combo piece, usually Teferi, Temporal Archmage or The Chain Veil to hit infinite mana, draw, and loyalty activation (depending on play, this would technically result in a turn 5 win) - Using Tamiyo, Field Researcher to draw and using her Omniscience ability to play one of the other previously listed walkers, ulting them, and winning through those lines.
Hope this helps!

Nice dino deck! Honestly, part of me kind of hopes that they don't print newer and better dinosaurs in the future just because of how cool the ones we've got are. Ranging Raptors and Ripjaw Raptor are so good, and I really like your addition of Reckless Rage That's one I always wanted to try and it just never quite made the list, but I bet it can be nuts good.
One that I play in dinos is Ulvenwald Tracker to get another one drop and to have reusable fight effects. I know that it can be hard to find room for non dinos in there, but it's a very good one if you can find space for it.
But yep, I have a sans-red version if you ever want to check it out Dino Stomps To Value and it uses Tamiyo, Field Researcher to great effect and also Enter the Unknown which is one of my favorite ramp/scryish/pump cards. And Archangel Avacyn Flip as both a flash indestructable to go with enrage, but also when she flips and hits all creatures for enrage effects. Plus a big flash flier is just good : )
But it's just different. Your deck is definitely more synergistic in dinos, and I really like seeing the different takes on my all time favorite magic creatures. They are surprisingly versatile for big bitey lizards : ) Awesome list!

It's definitely taxonomic mimicry : ) One of them is clearly an amphibious man pretending to be a reptilian man. Which one it is though? To find out we will need Lonis, Cryptozoologist or maybe Tamiyo, Field Researcher

Dinosaurs! Ixalan is the block that got me back into the game with it's sheer awesomeness. I have a similar but kind of different deck and here's a few things I use. Don't know if it helps, but I figure if nothing else, it's fun to talk enraged :)
Ulvenwald Tracker is always a really nice one drop that can get your dinos to fight, win, and gain value and removal. Enter the Unknown one mana ramp that can give your creatures +1/+1 and let them take more damage to hit more enrages, yep, this might be the sneaky actual best card in my deck. Archangel Avacyn Flip giving all your creatures indes can be a finisher. I've had this be almost a board wipe that I gain lands and cards off of. But at the same time, I do play a ton of ramp to make it more doable to keep 5 mana up. Plus, if she flips, she does 3 damage to all creatures. Tamiyo, Field Researcher this one might not make the list, but I do love it. You get so much value off doing exactly what you want to do, attacking. Plus the ability to tap down creatures. If I get the chance to fix enough mana, Tamiyo is the most powerful card in the deck.
Untap creature effects are also really good with enrage. Being able to attack with dinos, then untap them and block always feels more powerful than it seems.

I really love this idea. I’ve been trying to build a proliferate deck to quickly Ult planeswalkers.
A planeswalker that feels appropriate here is Tamiyo, Field Researcher . You could keep reusing the minus ability to keep your opponents stuff tapped, and your proliferate triggers would bring you back to parity.

legendofa: Quality should always be your guide. If you were using all 10 planeswalkers on a single (non-superfriends theme) like for example if they all pumped out tokens and then buffed them, that would be fine. But here you effectively have:
Ajani Steadfast - Really slow way of making your commander a bit bigger. Plays into pillow fort, but pillow fort is not a win condition.
Garruk, Apex Predator - really expensive removal spell.
Kaya, Ghost Assassin - super slow way to draw a card.
Liliana Vess - super slow way to tutor a card.
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar - Her pump ability is a neg ability. That's annoying.
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad - I guess his plus makes tokens and he's not stupidly costed, so that's nice. Do you care about tokens though?
Teferi, Hero of Dominaria - He's at least card advantage. A bit expensive but it's a card each turn (let's face it, you don't give a crap about his other abilities 99% of the time) so this is probably a good keep.
Tezzeret the Seeker - A decent equipment tutor, on hte fence about this one. You don't take a huge amount of advantage of artifact untapping, but you've got some decent equipment so eh.
Looking at the planeswalkers, that's kind of what I see here. And don't get me wrong, repeatability is great. But you have to weigh that up against mana cost and frequency of repeatability.

Is Kony Visualizer a Better Way to Build Apps?
The holy grail of app development is write once and run everywhere. Is Kony Visualizer a better way to build apps? its got competition from Xamarin, Kinvey, Google/Apigee, and more. There’s lots of potential here, but typically these tools fail to deliver on the experience and usually have UI/UX limitations, but there are some pretty interesting things in the Kony platform so let’s check it out.
As usual I’ll be using my regular MBP. There’s a desktop installer for Visualizer (no brew install). The package installed easily. The UI is not a native macOS UI so it will take some getting used to. To use the package you need to sign up for an account on Kony’s cloud platform. Once you get that setup there are some decent tutorials starting with the “Kony Travel” tutorial that is listed on the Welcome screen when you fire up their IDE.
The UI/UX using the IDE is a bit of a struggle. Its not a Windows GUI and its not a macOS GUI either. It is sort of like using an old style Java Swing app. Controls and widgets are just a bit off and menus seem to work in odd ways. Its not horrible, but it will take some getting used to. I do wonder for a company that claims their tools will create Native apps for Android, iOS, and web that look/feel right on each platform, why is their IDE not made that way too? Anyway…moving on. There are some annoying glitches. You cannot type a capital D..it gets interpreted as a command.
Developing with Kony Visualizer
It is an interesting tool. It is similar to iRise Studio, but it does have some “live” connectivity to the Kony Cloud environment. In general I think the IDE does work ok, but you will really need to commit to this tool. There are a ton of menus and techniques to remember to get things right. There are some decent tutorials in the Kony BaseCamp.
You can see in this image that there are a bunch of places to create things and then how to insert them in your project. Pretty complicated. Might as well be writing code.
One of the nice features in the tool is the ability to publish an app and share it with others or to your own phone without being connected via USB. You upload the app to the Kony cloud and then using a code and the Vizualizer runner app you can run the simulation.
Small Community Can Be Challenging
Size matters…lol…in this case size of community. Kony is a niche tool and if you are going to invest in this you really need to know what you are getting into. Problems, bugs, etc. are answered by a very small number of people. Since there is a lot of “hidden magic sauce” happening when trouble comes up it can be challenging to get a response.
In my case getting Cordova plugins to work was a problem. This is part of the “Kony Travel” tutorial, but on macOS I was getting an error that the cordova binary could not be found. No issue from the terminal. There’s a community forum, but it can be days/weeks before you hear anything. In my case this was a killer and the end of my exploration. I simply can’t wait around for answers. There are a ton of tool options out there.
Practice and Many Things to Remember – Conclusions.
I ran thru hours of tutorials and such on the Kony site. The tool does produce an app and you can make it reasonably functional. The problem is that, similar to iRise, you will need to spend a lot of time becoming an expert in how the tool works and how to get the actions and buttons to work right.Using Kony’s back-end from Visualizer is definitely a differentiator, but I was unable to get that to work.
I think a better use of time is really pencils and paper to throw down a UX and get reactions and then use Sketch or Photoshop to mock something up with inVision or a similar clickable mockup tool. In an enterprise IT shop where you might need to make 50-100 smallish apps to support ERP or supply chain departments where you could build up a library of common mockup components then Kony Visualizer might be a good fit, but you’ll still need people to dedicate themselves to learning and using this tool.

The prime aspect of the UPSC examination is that it is quite competitive and hence the number of students aspiring every year to secure a position is quite high. The exam is usually conducted in two parts – the written and the interview round. Although there are guidelines about how can you prepare for the theoretical round, it gets a little difficult if you want to crack the interview round without taking assistance from the best institute for UPSC in Delhi. Hence, if you want to crack the interview session and do well for yourself, it is essential to have ample preparation to help you pass the round with patience and grace.
Is Mock Interview a Very Important Pillar to Prepare for The UPSC Exams?
We are sure that most of you have come across suggestions that going for mock interview sessions from the best coaching institute for IAS in Delhi or any other city is very important. It is because the mock tests help the aspirants to understand what to expect during the interview sessions. The primary agenda of these mock interviews is to prepare students and help them analyze their strengths and weaknesses to help them crack through the interview round.
What Makes Mock Interviews a Must Have for Your UPSC Preparation?
We have tried to make this understanding easier for the students as to why they should certainly go forth with the mock interviews when it comes to the UPSC preparation. Even the best institute for UPSC in Delhi, and most other cities in the country, ensure that the students go through considerable mock interview rounds before they stumble upon one potent choice. Some of the major reasons how it aids the preparation of the students include:
- Helps You Gain an Idea About the Questions:
Indeed, the interview sessions do not have any concrete set of questions, and these changes from one student to the other. Not only that, but in most cases, the members in the panel also have an important role to play when it comes to deciding what questions during the interview. However, when you go for mock interviews, they help you understand the type of questions that can be asked. Usually, most institutions that conduct these mock interviews have someone who is or has served as a member of the panel.
- Boosts Confidence:
Another factor that is very important if you want to crack the interview round is confidence. There could be instances where you are asked questions that you do not have a clear answer for. However, when you deal with the question confidently, it shows that you can handle more complex situations in a sound-minded manner. These mock interview rounds ensure that the student can build on the confidence factor and answer each question with grace. This factor does attract brownie points and increases the likelihood of being selected.
- Helps The Candidates Understand Their Strengthsand Weaknesses:
As mentioned above, once the students go through multiple mock tests, they will be able to realize the points that work as strengths or weaknesses. In fact, the most potent coaching institutes will also help the students to understand the same. Based on these strengths and weaknesses, the aspirants will be able to prepare as well as answer better during the interview rounds.
If you are an aspirant who wants to seek guidance under the best institute for UPSC in Delhi, then Tarun IAS Academy is your best choice. Being in this domain for years, they are known to train the most promising UPSC candidates.

The Suck of Perfection
For me, perfectionism is represented by the dark dwelling pacific octopus.Perfect Octopussy, as I fondly named this saboteur of mine, likes to wrap her way around my chest to keep me from moving forward any time I am about share something out in the public like a Facebook Live, newsletters [yes, even now she wants to come crawling out of the cave to say hello while I write this], or when I am just speaking to others about what it is that I do. I even had a stuffed animal octopus as a tangible reminder to not get sucked in by perfectionism. The issue I have with this saboteur is that she has some long, tenacious tentacles that have been part of my life since I was a very young child. During the retreat, I did not know how to detach from the suck of her perfectionism. I found myself sitting in the hotel room for 90 minutes trying to prepare a topic to share on Facebook live. I think I made four drafts for what would end up being a 2-minute video. I had a moment when I looked at the situation, kind of like an out-of-body experience, and I knew that she was sucking the joy out of this experience. I knew perfectionism had gotten a hold of me, yet, I couldn’t detach myself. Her grip was tight. It was in that moment, this Perfect Octopussy needed to die! I was terrified of doing it alone though. I knew I needed the support of my community and those who loved me. So instead of destroying her, I stuffed her into the top drawer to get her out of sight. I let go of the idea that I was going to complete my task at hand for the evening. I set it aside. I called my boyfriend. I gave myself permission to let it go for the night versus trying to push through and waste a lot of energy trying to create a perfect speech [btw…who wants to even listen to a perfect speech on Facebook live?… that’s the whole point, be messy, be vulnerable and be yourself, right?] The next morning I arrived early to our final day of our retreat. A few people were waiting already. I got up the courage and shared what I had experienced the night before. Guess what? They GOT IT! They also were fighting the same saboteur plus some other ones. Huge relief… I wasn’t alone in this mess. They held massive compassion for me as I shared my story but even more than that, when I felt the urge to rip the stuffed animal to pieces they cheered me on! They encouraged me to tear out the stuffing, stomp on the pieces and it was given a proper burial by covering it up with positive intentions.
They had me write down what I wanted to replace the negative energy with that was just released. Out came a hotel napkin, a pen and a chance for me to set some intentions about what I want to fill the void with.
- I deserve to be seen.
- I am here to serve.
- I am good enough!!!
The final release came when Imperfect Octopussy offered up to the universe by rinsing away the bad mojo in a hotel water fountain (sometimes, you just got to improvise, right?).
Two of these amazing women walked me outside of the hotel and stood next to me as I engaged in my first Facebook live. It was easy, unplanned, and off the cuff. And here is what I said after completing it “That was perfect!” I didn’t even realize I said that until Hollie called me out on it. My imperfect video was absolutely perfect for that moment.
What I notice about perfectionism is that it costs me a lot to be sucked down by it.
It costs me the following because I felt all this:
And it also cost me a lot of energy, sleep and left me exhausted.
It’s an everyday practice to let go of perfectionism.
I want to share some tips for you for when you feel like you are getting sucked down by perfection:
1. Acknowledge that it is happening
2. Share with your community or an accountability partner you trust
And this is the big one….
3. Give yourself permission to get messy!

An everyday, hardworking red sauce should require no more than a small grocery haul and 30 minutes to make. It should be the sauce you can make in a pinch, the one that never gets tossed out, and the one you crave when those two words—red sauce—are on your mind. It is also the sauce to master first—the one you use to find your go-to tomato brand, your “house” olive oil, and the precise amount of garlic you like. It should be personal, so use mine not so much as an end point, but as a trailhead.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed sauce pot or large Dutch oven over low heat.
- Add the olive oil and the garlic. Sweat for 30 to 60 seconds, until aromatic and translucent but without color.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, along with their liquid.
- Cook for 25 to 35 minutes, until the flavors are well incorporated, over low heat. You are not looking to reduce the mixture, just to bring the flavors together.
- Set aside until ready to use or cool, transfer to a nonreactive container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

First up was the Bristol Mile in Colorado Springs, CO. This inaugural downhill mile (it was cancelled in 2012 due to the bad air quality caused by the Waldo Canyon Fire) was held on Cheyenne Blvd with a gradual descent of approximately 84 feet over one mile. Neil "Big McD" McDonagh ran a smart race and moved up to finish in 4th place overall in the Elite Men's race, clocking a 4:05.2, setting the new Team Colorado Mile Record!
|Big McD gettin' it done with a 4:05.2 photo: PikePeakSports.us|
We caught an interview with Gute before the race. He showed us his heelies!
Gute shouldn't have worn those heelies. Here is what he said post-race.
(correction: the shoes were the Hoka Bondi Speed--sorry for any confusion!)
What we can say is that Gute probably has the fastest mile ever run in pair of Hokas!
The race victory went to a Sudanese emigree named Dey Dey...yep, that is it: Dey. Dey. He ran 3:53.7. You can't argue with that!

Alphabet’s Google has reached at most 24 agreements with major app developers in order to keep competitors from using the Play Store, including an agreement to pay Activision $360 Million (roughly the equivalent of Rs. 2,941 crore) over the course of three years, as per an application to the court on Thursday.
Google has also has agreed to pay in 2020 Tencent Holdings’ Riot Games unit, which is responsible for League of Legends around $30 million (roughly 245 crore rupees). 245 crore) over the course of a year, according to the filing.
The financial details were revealed in a new, unredacted copy of a lawsuit Fortnite video game developer Epic Games first filed against Google in the year 2020. The lawsuit alleged unfair practices in relation to the company’s Android as well as Play Store businesses.
Google said that the agreements it has made to keep developers happy are a sign of the healthy competition.
Riot announced that it was examining the file. Activision has not responded to inquiries for comment.
Epic last year, the company largely lost an identical case to Apple, another major app store company. A decision on appeal in this case is anticipated in the coming year.
These Google contracts with developers is part of an internally-run project called “Project Hug”. And were mentioned by the court in previous versions but not with specific terms.
The payment includes payments for uploading to YouTube and credit for Google ads as well as cloud services.
The partnership with Activision was made public in January 2020 just after. It had informed Google that it was looking at opening their own store for apps. The partnership with Riot also was a way in order to “stop their in-house ‘app store’ efforts,” the court documents state.
Google in the past estimated billions of dollars of lost sales from apps in the event. That developers switched to other platforms.
Epic’s lawsuit asserts that Google knew that signing the agreement in partnership with Activision “effectively ensured that (Activision) would abandon its plans to launch a competing app store.” The deal increases prices and decreases the quality of the service, according to the lawsuit.
The other companies who signed with Google in July. Were the game companies Nintendo and Ubisoft Entertainment, Calm, a meditation app, and the educational app developer Age of Learning. According to court documents.

In recent years, edge computing has emerged as a key technology for improving performance and reducing latency in the processing of data. Instead of relying solely on centralized data centers, edge computing brings computing power closer to the source of data, enabling faster and more efficient processing. In this blog post, we’ll explore the advantages of edge computing and its applications in various industries.
What is Edge Computing? Edge computing refers to a distributed computing model in which computing resources are located closer to the source of data, rather than in centralized data centers. This enables faster processing, reduced latency, and improved performance, as data does not need to travel as far to be processed.
Advantages of Edge Computing: Here are some of the key advantages of edge computing:
- Faster Processing: By bringing computing power closer to the source of data, edge computing enables faster processing and reduces the time required to transfer data to centralized data centers.
- Reduced Latency: Latency is the delay between the time data is generated and the time it is processed. With edge computing, latency is reduced, as data does not need to travel as far to be processed.
- Improved Reliability: By distributing computing resources across multiple nodes, edge computing can improve the reliability of applications and services.
- Lower Bandwidth Requirements: By processing data locally, edge computing can reduce the amount of bandwidth required to transfer data to centralized data centers.
Applications of Edge Computing: Edge computing has a wide range of applications across various industries, including:
- Internet of Things (IoT): Edge computing is essential for enabling real-time processing of data generated by IoT devices.
- Healthcare: Edge computing can enable real-time monitoring of patient health data, improving the speed and accuracy of diagnoses and treatment.
- Retail: Edge computing can enable real-time analysis of customer data, enabling retailers to provide personalized recommendations and improve the customer experience.
- Autonomous Vehicles: Edge computing is critical for enabling real-time processing of data from sensors and cameras in autonomous vehicles.
Edge computing is a powerful technology that can improve performance, reduce latency, and enable new applications and services across various industries. By bringing computing power closer to the source of data, edge computing is changing the way we process and analyze data, and its applications are only set to grow in the coming years.

LaMoyne Hyde thought he was ready for retirement. Like any avid fisherman upon retirement, he went to Alaska for a month of nothing but fishing. It didn’t take long for him to realize that a month in Alaska was too much fishing, even for him. Once the restlessness fully set in, he decided to start a business – a retirement business. LaMoyne’s started Hyde Drift Boats and now builds and ships boats all over the world.
When he first launched in Idaho Falls, Idaho, building drift boats was a new business not only to Idaho but to most of the U.S. LaMoyne had to train every employee for the specialized kind of skills he needed, and quickly found Idaho has the right kind of employees to do the job.
Hyde Drift Boats produce a diverse line of products ranging from self-bailing boats for running the Grand Canyon to boats designed for the peaceful rivers of Idaho. They builds boats for every occasion and situation, from high wind areas to big rolling waves. They recently even started building a power drifter for when river shuttles services are unavailable.
Hyde Drift Boats are as durable as they are beautiful. They are built tough, built for comfort and built to last. LaMoyne insists on using only the highest quality materials throughout all components of their boats to ensure their boats hold their value and last for generations. Many of their boats resell for more than the customers originally paid when new!
Hyde Drift Boats are built in beautiful Southeastern Idaho, just outside of Yellowstone Park, where the big fish grow big and strong. Beyond the world class fishing, Idaho has the great labor base to provide Hyde Drift Boats with the employees they need to build their world class products. When employees have a day off, they’re on the river. Most employees love to fish and LaMoyne is proud to provide an occupation that enables his team to earn a good living while doing what they love.
When customers test a Hyde Drift Boat or want to put their shiny new toy to use immediately after purchase, there are a number of superb rivers large enough to run a drift boat within close proximity. Whether you hear it from a customer, a team member or LaMoyne himself – every Hyde Drift Boats is designed with precision and proudly Tested in Idaho.

A point to remember here is that, unlike humans, chickens cannot vomit. Any fluid that you see coming from the beak is basically ‘overflow. ‘ If the sour crop is noticed early on, it may be possible to massage the crop frequently throughout the day to encourage movement.
Why do chickens spit up liquid?
Spitting is an early warning sign that your chickens may have worms, as the condition worsens they tend to make gurgling sounds because the worms are working their way through their system. The most likely culprit is the gape worm, a large round red worm.
What are the symptoms of sour crop in chickens?
Symptoms. The crop feels like a balloon which has filled with water. Gentle pressure applied to the crop when picking the hen up may cause fluid to spill out from her beak. Classic sour crop has a foul smell and the fluid which is voided is often brown, although this is not always the case.
What causes sour crop in chickens?
Sour crop is a yeast infection in the crop leading to thickening of the crop wall, dilation of the crop and birds losing condition and possibly dying. Sour Crop is caused by a disruption of the normal bacteria that inhabit the crop with an overgrowth of Candidia (a fungal species) often occurring.
Why is my chickens crop full of water?
After a normal night of fasting, if the crop feels full, hard or squishy like a water balloon in the morning, it might mean food or other fibrous material such as straw, long strands of grass or string is stuck inside. This is a condition known as impacted crop.
How do you empty a chicken’s crop?
How to Clear an Impacted Crop
Can chickens have saliva?
Chickens do not have teeth, so they cannot chew their food. However, the mouth contains glands that secrete saliva, which wets the feed to make it easier to swallow. Also, the saliva contains enzymes, such as amylase, that start the digestion process.
How do you know if your chicken has a water belly?
Characteristic symptoms of ascites in chickens
- Poor bird development.
- Dilated abdomen (”water belly”)
- Dyspnoea (panting, accompanied with gurgling sounds, even in the absence of apparent heat stress)
- Possible cyanosis (a blue discolouration of the skin, especially around the comb and wattles and muscle tissue – Figure 1)
Why do chickens close their eyes?
During roosting, the chicken at the top of the pecking order sleeps in the middle, closing both eyes, while the chickens on the edges keep one eye open, watching for trouble.
Will sour crop resolve itself?
Firstly you should try to massage the crop gently. Just rub and gently knead the area trying to break up or move along the contents of the crop. This action alone can sometimes cure the problem if it is caught early on. Do this a few times a day.
Will an impacted crop clear itself?
Treatment – Mild Cases: An impacted crop can be emptied if it is unlikely to clear, but vets usually advise putting the bird onto water for 24 to 48 hours in mild cases before gradually re-introducing their food.
What is the difference between sour crop and impacted crop?
Impacted crop/sour crop
If the crop is full and hard and lumpy and the chicken has been drinking lots of water and it smells like sauerkraut, you likely have an impacted crop that has developed a yeast infection.
How long does it take for a chicken to recover from sour crop?
If she is on a water only diet it is a maximum of 48 hours. That’s the longest we’ve treated them for and it is usually just 24 hours.
How do you remove impacted chicken crops?
- Isolate your hen from food sources.
- Allow access to water.
- Dose with 10ml olive oil or vegetable oil (trickle it slowly into the side of the beak).
- Wait for 10 minutes then massage the crop and try to break down the blockage.
- Repeat twice more every couple of hours.
Does Olive Oil Help sour crop?
1. Syringe some warmed olive oil into the side of the beak and massage the crop gently to attempt to loosen the blockage. Do this three or four times a day. If successful the blockage will have been loosened enough to be digested in the normal way.
What does impacted crop look like?
If the crop is extended and feels squishy, then the crop has not emptied as it normally should. If the crop is extended and hard, you’re likely looking at impacted crop instead.
What is pendulous crop?
Pendulous, or spastic crop as it is often known, occurs when the crop muscle becomes stretched and the crop will fill to a massive size (Figure 1). Hens usually cope with this condition fairly well, but it can in some cases lead to sour crop.
What does a floppy comb on a chicken mean?
What Does a Floppy Comb on a Chicken Mean? If your chicken normally has a comb that stands upright, but is suddenly floppy, that may be an indicator that (17) it is dehydrated. A chickens comb is made up of mostly water and if it is dehydrated can flop over.
Is my chicken choking?
You’ll know your chicken has sour crop if it feels pushed out and squishy. There may be a sour smell emanating from the chicken and she may even have some liquid coming out of her mouth. She might appear to be lethargic and may isolate herself form the other chickens.
Why is my chickens crop squishy?
Occasionally hens can develop Sour Crop. This is due to an imbalance in the normal crop flora (bacteria) and a fungal overgrowth. Often this starts when your hen eats damp or mouldy feed, but it can also follow after a treatment of antibiotics. The crop will appear full but will have a squishy fluid-filled feel to it.
Do chickens drink milk?
Chickens love milk and all forms of milk product, there is no doubt this is a true statement. That being said, you should know that chickens will consume more than they actually need for a daily requirement when milk is being added to feed. This effect is kind of like humans going to a really good buffet.
What are the symptoms of fowl cholera?
- Ruffled feathers.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nasal, ocular and oral discharge.
- Swollen and cyanotic wattles and face.
- Sudden death.
Why is my chickens mouth staying open?
The most common cause of open mouth breathing relates to the ingestion or inhalation of contaminated items whilst chickens are going about their normal foraging activities. The natural foraging behaviour of chickens includes the use of the feet to scratch and disperse soil and vegetative matter in search of food items.
Is water belly in chickens fatal?
That’s when you’ll notice that your hen’s abdomen is swollen and that she’s standing and walking with her back-end low to the floor because of the discomfort and the additional weight of the accumulating fluid. Peritonitis is very painful, there are really no good treatment options and it is usually quickly fatal.
Why is my chicken hanging her head?
If you notice that your bird has difficulty standing, that its neck twists, or it looks like it’s permanently looking upwards, they’ve likely developed wry neck. Typically this condition is caused by a genetic disorder, a vitamin deficiency, a head injury, or from ingesting toxins.
Why is my chicken’s stomach swollen?
Fat Deposition. Extremely obese hens have a thick fat pad that can distend the lower abdomen. Obesity, normally caused by high-energy diets, also predisposes chickens to a condition called fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome, where the liver is infiltrated with fat and can contribute to abdominal distension.
Does a chicken blink?
Chickens have three eyelids for each eye, the upper lid, the lower lid, and the nictitating membrane. During the day, when they are awake, chickens usually keep their upper and lower lids open, but they frequently blink the nictitating membrane closed momentarily.
How do you know a chicken is dying?
The signs or symptoms of a dying chickens are:
Stood very still or lethargic and moving slowly. Not eating or drinking. All fluffed up. Hunched over, sometimes called a roach back, or stood bolt upright.
What does chicken vision look like?
Chickens can see 300 degrees around because their eyes are in the sides of their heads. Chickens are tetrachromatic. They have 4 types of cones that let them see red, blue, and green light, as well as ultraviolet light. Therefore, they see many more colors and shades than we do.
How long can chickens go without food?
Still, like any captive animal, they need regular feeding to both survive and thrive. In general, a chicken can go for no more than 4–5 days without their regular food, as they’ll be quite malnourished after this point.
How do you prevent sour crop in chickens?
Limit intake by not giving your chicken food and water for 24 hours so that the crop will be emptied naturally. Put apple cider vinegar in a syringe and give the liquid to your chicken through the side of the beak. After 12 hours, you can give lukewarm water and a small amount of soft solid food.
How much apple cider vinegar should I give my chickens?
Apple cider vinegar is a cost-effective way to boost your flock’s health. To use it for healthy chickens, chicken owners can simply add about one tablespoon per gallon in a coop’s waterer. Adding ACV is an easy addition to a flock’s diet for good health and boosted immune systems.
How do you treat a sick chicken?
Adding a vitamin/electrolyte supplement into the drinking water for a day or two can help an already dehydrated chicken re-hydrate. In the absence of electrolytes, Gatorade may be substituted. Food is much less critical than water initially for a sick bird.
How can you tell if a hen is egg bound?
What are the clinical signs? When your hen is egg bound, your hen may appear weak, show no interest in moving or eating, have a “panting” respiratory rate, and may have some abdominal straining. One or both legs may appear lame due to the egg pressing on the nerves in the pelvis.
Can you massage an impacted crop?
You’ll need to carefully massage your chicken’s crop to try to break up the blockage. When massaging an impacted crop, massage in a circular and just barely upwards motion. If the blockage isn’t huge, you should be able to massage the mass apart by repeatedly massaging 3-4 times a day.
Is Epsom salt good for chickens?
Epsom salt water is safe and even good for your chicken to consume regularly. It can be administered orally or used as a therapeutic bath. Epsom salt water is primarily used as a laxative and can be used to relieve your chicken’s constipation or flush out its system.
Will molasses hurt chickens?
Perhaps you’ve noticed some of your chickens acting strangely and suspect food poisoning. Giving them molasses can flush out the toxins. In any case, it’s not going to hurt them, so it’s an excellent system to apply.

iving with chronic anxiety or paralytic depression can seem like the end of the world for the wounded. Intrigued by the connection, director Lars von Trier sickens two sisters and introduces a more sumptuously literal end of days. After Wagnerian thunder and ominously doctored NASA footage, the story opens to Justine (Kirsten Dunst), who is introduced at her lavish wedding reception hosted on the old-money estate of staid brother-in-law John (a stilted Kiefer Sutherland) and nervous sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg). Present amid the often-rude revelers are Justine’s Cruella mother Gaby (Charlotte Rampling), eccentric father Dexter (John Hurt), and employer Jack, a vicious PR company boss (LVT standby Stellen Skarsgård).
Justine is a walking fetal position dolled up for a wedding that can’t dislodge her from schizophrenic ennui. Her depression, the film’s part 1, allows von Trier to aim his cannons at the hypocrisy of ceremony (Justine feels nothing; her mother despises marriage) and the hatefulness of the urban workplace (she justly reviles her boss). Justine’s ample shortcomings established, her end-of-the-world omniscience with it, VT turns his attention to Claire, a horsy-set panic attack in waiting (she’s sculpted and dressed in the image of 1970s Patti Smith as photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe).
News that the “hidden” planet Melancholia, once ensconced behind the sun, will soon pass near to Earth, triggers Clare’s low-boil frenzy, which seer Juliet already dismisses as futile (“The Earth is evil. No one will miss it…”). Rational John spends most of part 2 calming Claire down and attempting to reassure their curious son: The giant planet, he insists, is just on a fly-by.
Nonsense, since so much Wagner in von Trier’s busy hands is a big bang in the making. The passage of time becomes a kind of opulent romanticism with sadness and madness feeding on intimations of doom. Melancholia, both planet and mood, infects the sisters Solaris-like, and the film’s last 15 minutes are palpably unsettling.
In some respects, the film is a strange art house version of 1990s disaster flicks such as “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact,” both of which took up celestial collisions. But what LVT delivers in girth (an intellectually rapturous mood) he fritters away through repetition. Though Dunst fierce stare gives oppression ironic beauty and Claire’s ashen face speaks for biblical hopelessness, the gorgeously engineered endgame matters more than the troubled people it incinerates.

Taking a trip to your local museum or art center can be an enriching experience for students and teachers alike. The chance to leave the school and engage with REAL art is pretty awesome. But for most of us, that is where the experience ends. We go, we look, we leave, we move on. If this sounds familiar, you might consider building a formal partnership with your favorite field trip destination. You can make student learning deep, connect to the curriculum and greater community, and take the experience from OK to outstanding by following this simple outline…
1. Set Up a Meeting
Contact the education department of your potential partner and set up a time to talk about outlining a formal relationship. Invite your administrator along and set an agenda that includes mutual goals, resources, and needs. Start a discussion that answers these questions: What do you want for your students? What does the museum want from students and teachers? What are some ways we can work together to meet those needs? Here are 3 ideas to get you started…
1. Collaborate on a lesson based on certain pieces in the museum collection. The finished pieces could be displayed at a special show on site.
2. Have museum educators come into your classroom as visiting art historians to co-teach.
3. Create a “Day at the Museum” event for students a families from your school. Discounted admission and student docents could make the event accessible and engaging.
2. Determine Who Does What
Determine your immediate action steps in implementing your partnership plan, then divvy them up. Set clear expectations for each party.
3. Plan to Plan
Great partnerships are formed through a lot of time spent together. Set up a regular monthly meeting to keep ideas and feedback fresh. Create an evaluation form so that honest conversations are guided by a shared vision of the partnership.
For a more detailed look at museum partnerships, check out this in-depth guide called True Needs, True Partners.
Have you developed partnerships with your local cultural organizations? What kinds of activities have you done?
What questions do you have regarding setting up partnerships like these?

March is Youth Art Month, and it’s the perfect time to start talking about art shows. In this episode, Cassie gives her very best tips for putting together the perfect art show. Listen as she talks about how to keep your work from falling off the walls (7:00), why you need parent volunteers (11:45), and how a few treats can really help bring in the crowd (18:00). Full episode transcript below.

- 10 Ways to Take Your Art Show Up a Notch
If you follow me on Instagram or you’ve seen my blog, you’ve seen images of my art room and I know because a lot of you all have told me how incredibly spoiled I am by my space. Trust me, I know my art room used to be the school library, so not only is it really large but it also is filled with bookshelves that were transformed into cabinets.
I also have three storage closets in an office, don’t hate. But all that to say the reason I wanted the job so badly was number one, Hello The Art Room. When I sat down at the interview, and I was asked if I would as an art teacher at this school do art shows, well of course I said yes, despite the fact that I never put on a school wide art show before. I was willing to say I would eat my own fist if it meant that I could have that space.
Fortunately, I wasn’t asked to do that but I did manage it to land the job, which then meant I had to do a school wide art show. Cold turkey, never having had done one. Well, I’ve learned a lot along the way of putting on I guess close to 15 school-wide art shows and I get asked a lot of questions about art shows.
So today’s podcast is dedicated to how I put on school-wide art shows showcasing every work of art that every one of my students has done all year. Alright, so here we go. This is Everyday Art Room and I’m Cassie Stephens.
Okay, so you did hear me correctly. I hang, well my parent volunteers hang, every work of art that every one of my students has made every year in the halls of our school. Any three-dimensional pieces I also hang onto until the end of the year art show where they’re showcased in my room. For that reason, I’m going to break this blog post down into two sections.
I’m going to talk about how I display two-dimensional artwork and then I will address how I display three-dimensional artwork. The biggest question I always get about art shows is if you hang up or keep every work of art that every kiddo has made, where on earth do you store it? Well, like I said I’m fortunate to have a large space. I am unfortunately very unorganized, and a lot of people roll their eyes at me when I say that.
But if you could see the insides of my closets then you would definitely be calling 1-800 hoarders. It’s a hot flaming mess, it’s a work in progress is what I would tell my administration, but it’s been that way for 15 years ya’ll.
Let me just share with you how I organize “my two-dimensional student artwork.” I have two ways of storing two-dimensional artwork that my students create based on the size of the artwork. Usually my students work either 12 by 18 or nine by 18. The 12 by 18 works of art once they are completed I will usually do a temporary display in the hallway to showcase what we’re working on throughout the year.
Once they are down from that hallway display I usually clamp all of the works of art for each class together, and then I have a tall wooden … I guess at one point it was probably meant to be a drying rack, but it really only has about 25 shelves. On that large wooden drying rack, I have them labeled by class and I simply slide the classes artwork onto their designated shelf.
That’s for my larger format artwork. Now, this time of the school year, those shelves are getting pretty packed. So I am starting to run out of space a little bit, but I’m just going to keep compressing the artwork down and hoping that I can keep it there until the end of the year art shows.
Since we’re now going to venture into three-dimensional pieces in my room, we should be okay as far as the nine by 12 artwork goes, I tend to keep that in a different storage bin. Those I have in like I said bins, and I have them organized outside of my art room which is also where we keep our sketchbooks. When I say outside, I mean outside of my storage closet in my actual classroom, not outside, outside. That’s how I store my artwork until the end of the year.
That being said, like I said I am not an organizational guru, so if you’re looking for tips on organization I might not be the person to talk to. However, I will say that I really do keep everything that every kid has made. Now, let me also share that I only have 350 students. Now, I told you I’m spoiled, I told you there was a reason I wanted to be at the school so badly and I’m not going anywhere.
I do have a lot smaller of population, so those of you who have a ton of students that you teach I would never expect or even suggest that any of you hang every piece of art that every student has created. That would just be a monumental task. I am coming at you with 350 students, and a lot less artwork to hang. For those of you that have a large student population, well of course you would probably want to whittle it down to maybe one to two pieces per student.
That’s how I go about storing artwork until the end of the school year. The reason I thought I’d bring up art shows today is because I know in March, a lot of you do spring art shows especially with YAM Youth Art Month coming up. However, we have always traditionally done our art show in May. In fact, we do our art show about two weeks right before school is out, and I know that sounds crazy but I absolutely love it because it gives us as much time possible to keep on creating masterpieces.
Let’s address hanging artwork in the hallways. I have done this a multitude of ways, and I have finally within the last three years found a system that I think is pretty foolproof. What is the biggest pain about hanging artwork for an art show? It’s falling off the walls. Ya’ll I can’t tell you how heartbreaking it would be for me every morning to come into school and have to spend 30 to 45 minutes walking up and down the halls and putting or rehanging artwork backup that had either fallen, been damaged, been bumped into or stepped on by kids.
It was just so frustrating for me. When I would do art shows that way we usually rolled tape and put tape on the back of the artwork or used blue dap or Blu sticky tack. Neither of those work fabulously neither of them really stay, and so that was a system that we did for several years and it just never really quite worked. Another system that I did that I didn’t love either was using large pieces of bulletin board paper and gluing artwork to that.
I remember one spring break, I literally spent my entire week off with a roll of bulletin board paper in my living room laying it out cutting it and gluing artwork and then rolling it back up because I knew I’d have to take it to school the following week.
It was the worst way to spend an entire spring break it was so sad. Those are two systems that I’ve tried and I don’t recommend simply because it didn’t work for me. Let me share with you my foolproof trick, and I actually have a video showing this. If you need a good strong visual you could go to my YouTube channel and it’s under Art Teacherin’ 101: Episode 2.
In that episode, I share that I use three key ingredients to hang an art show, and thing number one is dear mash. It’s looks like a really thin mash that you would put in your yard, ideally I guess to keep deer from eating your flowers. Why not let them to eat the flowers. I mean come on y’all.
Anyway, so you can find deer mesh. I always purchase it on Amazon and we buy for the 350 kids that we have and for all the artwork we hang in our school, we usually buy about four to five rolls of deer mesh. It runs about 20 bucks a roll. You get a lot of deer mesh on these rolls because it stands the role of deer mesh stands about, I would say three feet tall but it is folded over.
So you’re actually getting about six feet height of deer mesh, and that I cannot recall and I’m so sorry exactly how long, how many feet are actually on a roll of deer mesh. Deer mesh is really the key to being able to hang artwork for an art show and not have it fall off your walls.
How do you adhere the deer mesh to your wall? We have found that gaffers tape, G-A-F-F-E-R-S works the best. There are some off brands of gaffers tape. Don’t get that, you want to get the name brand stuff. It’s the same things, it’s the same kind of tape that’s used on movie sets and in recording studios to hold the chords down so people don’t trip over them. It’s really, really strong stuff. Now, the deer mesh was inexpensive. The gaffers tape is very expensive so you’ll definitely want to do a little bit of online shopping to find the best price for that.
I remember in a pinch I walked into a hardware store and dropped $40 for one role and that was just buying it off the shelf. Definitely do your homework on that. Now, the last key ingredient is clothespins. Once you have your deer mesh anchor to the wall with the gaffers tape, clothespins is how you’re going to hang your artwork.
Now clothespins dollar tree, easy. I will say that the first year we did the deer mesh and the gaffers tape instead of using clothes pins because I didn’t love the idea of having a big wooden clothespins showing. So instead we used paper clips. I strongly do not recommend using paperclips. They are the worst because they would get so completely tangled up on the mesh so much so that we had to end up throwing the mesh away because it was just a hot tangled mess with paperclips.
Instead, use the clothespins and then you can reuse the dear mesh year after year. In fact, a lot of my teachers my building just asked me if I would leave the deer mesh up on the wall because they used to hang their artwork for their kiddos throughout the year. Now, when it comes to hanging the artwork, I always recruit parent volunteers. I make it a goal for myself not to hang any artwork.
I put all of that labor back on my parents and I know that sounds really snooty, but I am usually super busy getting all of the artwork mad and reframed another job you can actually get parent volunteers to do they will gladly help you, and usually just running around making sure all artwork is accounted for, making sure that I have all artwork, all my students caught up on projects.
It’s usually a hectic time and one big stressor is getting all the artwork hang. I have this amazing group of moms that have been hanging artwork in the building or in my school building for many years and they have it down to a science. In fact, the one mom who’s been doing it for the last two years her daughter no longer attends my school.
She’s just a glutton for punishment, I guess she’s just got it down. She loves to help and I love her for it. Those are the parent volunteers you want to keep forever. Here’s how it works, they will spend the first couple of days about two weeks prior to the art show going up and down the hallways and making sure all of the teacher artwork is down of their classroom artwork, and getting ready to hang up the deer mesh.
When we have our art show, so that my students can easily find their artwork. What I always do is I have their artwork hanging outside of their classroom. I don’t have a designated place, I don’t hang in the cafeteria or just outside my room. I actually have it all hung right outside the teachers store and I love this because it keeps the kids so excited to see parents hanging up their masterpieces as they’re going in and out of their classroom.
For the first couple of days, the parent volunteers are getting all of the deer mesh up and all of the older papers and things that the classroom teachers have hang taken down. Then what they start to do is hang the artwork class by class outside the teachers store, and it’s fabulous and you can actually hang things that are a little bit heavier like weavings, we’ve done circle and weavings even on the mesh and it will hold it pretty well.
When all of that artwork is up, we usually try to have everything up about a day and a half to two days before the art show just for my sanity. To be honest, I’m usually the biggest hang up when it comes to having the art show complete because I’m usually finding one more random stack of artwork, oops sorry moms, and they just roll their eyes and they’re like, “Oh Stephens, you’re so unorganized,” and they just go and hang it up.
That’s how we display the two-dimensional works of art. Now, let’s talk about three-dimensional. Now, my art room is transformed into the three-dimensional gallery or museum. I always take the day of the art show off. I get a substitute teacher. My sub houses the kids usually in an extra classroom, they do an easy activity with the sub there, that way my room is completely empty.
My mom usually comes to visit and the moms are there, we usually clear out my room push back the tables cover them with beautiful table cloths or painted tablecloths the kids have created and we fill them full of their sculptures, their sowings, anything that’s three-dimensional gets displayed in my room.
One thing that’s really helped me for these three-dimensional displays were usually making 3D works of art in the spring, so really close to the art show. What I like to do when I’m approaching those works of art is I’d like to think of a theme. One year, I decided I wanted the theme for a three-dimensional pieces to be a 1950s diner. All of the kids using clay created diner food.
My fourth graders made pies and cakes and pizza slices out of clay. My third graders made hamburgers and fries out of clay. My second graders made cupcakes, my first graders made coffee and donuts, my kindergartners made tacos all out of clay. We had each of these kind of displayed in a really fun way like with colorful napkins and entrees and on a little taco stand so that was really cute. But it was really fun because it got all of the kids totally excited.
I sent home a note that said, “Hey, we’re a 1950s diner in the art room. Make sure you dress 50s style,” and I had splurged and got everybody one of those soda jerk hats, one of those white paper hats. When they walked in the little fourth grade graders would hand the kids a hat. So it was just really a lot of fun. We had some 1950s music playing in a giant mural that the fourth graders had worked on depicting a diner scene.
Last year, we had an animal theme, it was actually called the Johnson Elementary Pet Shop. Each of the grades was in charge of creating a different pet for the pet shop. The fourth graders made bobblehead cats and dogs. The third graders, I am drawing a blank but it will come back to … they made chameleons, there you go. My second graders, again another bike, it was just last year. First graders made fish, oh second graders made tropical birds and kindergartners made turtles.
It was really cute and a lot of fun and I feel like having a theme really gets the kids excited about the show. That’s how we display the three-dimensional works of art. On the night of the art show usually starts around 5:00. We always have a really big turnout. I think it’s because this art show has been going on for the last 15 plus years, it’s like a staple in our community it’s the end of the year. It’s a lot of fun and here’s the key, we also have an ice cream social on the night of the art show. It’s paid for by my school and it’s free ice cream, the kids are allowed to get a scoop of ice cream add whatever toppings they like, they can only eat it in the cafeteria, that way they are not coming to the art show walking around with sticky hands and ice cream while they do have sticky hands, and then they can go and enjoy their artwork.
Having their artwork both outside of their classroom and then in my art room means that the parents really spend a lot of time walking up and down the halls, admiring all of the artwork and then spending a good amount of time in the art room. I think that’s the key. Earlier this year, we had an Artemis Art Show which is a fundraiser where every child had one piece of art on display, and it was beautiful and I really enjoyed it and we raised a good amount of money.
However, one thing that a couple of parents mentioned was is this all there is, and I thought they were so used to having a mammoth amount of artwork on display that when it came to just one piece they were a little taken back. I also by the way, at the end of the year art show it is not a fundraiser, we don’t collect any funds, it’s simply to showcase student artwork. Once the art show is over, then there’s that taking down of the art show.
I got to share that trick with you because I’m pretty proud of myself on this one. I don’t take down a single piece of artwork and neither do my parent volunteers. Once they’ve hung all the artwork, their job is done. My assistants at my school about a month before the art show they create a large paper portfolio for every student. They simply take a large piece of bulletin board paper, they folded in half, they staple the sides, and they make a class set for every teacher.
Then two days after the art show I kind of like the art show to stay up for a little bit. Two days after the art show, the teachers and sometimes the teachers have the students especially if they’re older do this. They take the artwork down while the kids are decorating their portfolios. I’ve never had a teacher complain at least not to my face about having to do this extra step or a little bit of work, it’s usually the end of the year everybody’s packing things up anyway, and it’s pretty stinking amazing that they take it all down.
The kids pack it up neatly inside those homemade portfolios that they’ve carefully decorated, and then they take it home. As far as the artwork in my room, I usually need my art room back so the day after the art show during my planned time, I call my classes down with their teacher class-by-class, and the teacher usually brings a stack full of newspapers and I have an arm full of those lunch sacks.
What me and the teacher do is we wrap the artwork, we stick it in the lunch bag, we staple it close with their little label that was sitting next to their artwork right on top. Then the kids march out of my room with their bag wrapped up carefully filled with their clay treasure. There you have it. That’s how I do art shows. It’s worked for me very well the last three years, I feel like I really kind of dialed it in if I could just get my life together organization wise it probably be even better, but let’s be honest it’s probably not going to happen.
But like I said, I can’t recommend gaffers tape, deer mesh, clothespins and parent volunteers as well as taking that day off enough. Thank you for letting me share all my art show tips and tricks with you guys.

Now it’s time to take a little dip into the mailbag. The first question comes from Barbara and I’m going to backtrack a little bit because this is kind of a follow up question, she is wondering about what I have been sharing a lot on both my blog and my Instagram, which are bingo daubers, D-A-U-B-E-R-S. I discovered these in the back of my cupboard about a month ago. I remember placing an order for them from some Art Supply catalog and when I got them I didn’t know what to do with them, so I threw them in a cupboard.
The other day I got a wild hair for Romero Britto project for my first graders and I thought, “I wonder if those bingo daubers would work,” but bingo daubers are, it’s a little tube with a tap or a cap that’s felt, almost like an enlarged marker like a felt tip marker. What I did was I simply used a pair of pliers pulled the top off and I filled the dauber with India ink. I diluted it just a tiny bit because I was running out of India ink, then I put the felt tip top back on, and it comes with a little white cap.
When my students, my first grade students use them they were immediately sold, it’s like using a giant sharpie marker that never runs out of ink. It makes a beautiful thick line, it’s definitely easy and simple to use and my kids enjoy it. In fact, so much so that I’ve now done projects with the daubers with my kindergartners and my 3rd grade students.
Barbara’s question is saying that she’s seen the daubers on Amazon but they look rather large, she’s asking for an alternative place to buy them. If you just Google searched in quotes, Bingo Dauber or Bingo Dotters D-O-T-T-E-R-S, you should be able to find some empty ones. I have seen the large ones that you’re talking about, but I really do like those smaller ones. It’s perfect for my students hands and I’ve also seen them sold on Oriental Trading.
I was recently asked, what kind of ink do I use? I don’t have a specific kind of ink that I feel one way or the other about. I just use permanent India ink. If you’re worried about it getting on student clothing, I have not had a single incident yet simply because the daubers don’t splatter the ink everywhere, it’s pretty self-contained. They are pretty stinking amazing. Once you use them you won’t go back, they are great especially for pre-K kids and for those kindergarten kids. Barbara, I do hope that helps.
If you have a question for me, please feel free to send it my way. You can find me at email@example.com.
You know as a school district, we do a kind of an art show with our local art museum, where we are to pick two works of art per grade level, and while I love joining forces with a local art museum and showcasing my students work, it breaks my heart just a little bit because I can only share two works of art per grade level from my students. When I know that all of my students need a little lifting up, they need to know that their artwork is value, that they’re valued.
While I love doing that show, I actually don’t advertise it to all of the kids all that much, because I don’t ever want my students to think that I prefer one young artist over another artist. Doing an art show, where every child has at least one piece of artwork that’s on display, where somebody took the time and effort to hang it and to showcase it and say, “Look, you really are valued, you really are amazing so much so that I decided to hang up your masterpiece.” I think that’s pretty invaluable.
So you don’t have to blow it out of the water and make a huge production and hang everything that every kiddo was made to start with one, start small but make sure that every kid knows that they are valued by having every kid’s artwork featured in an art show.
Thank you so much guys for joining me. This has been Everyday Art Room and I’m Cassie Stephens.

Earlier in the week Bobby posted this, click here, about Kylie posting an ass shot on Instagram for Playboy. Yesterday she released a few more.
The Kardashians/Jenner’s don’t get out of bed for anything less than 6 figures so even doing these, you know she’s getting a big ass bag. She’s wildly popular, very attractive (Top 3 in the family) and potentially posing naked. I think if Playboy is trying to make a mainstream return they chose the right person. For old school full nude playboy I doubt it happens, but if it does, gotta be over a million and honestly I’m thinking in the tens of millions. I’m sure we will keep you updated on the Kylie, Playboy partnership.

Multimedia reporter Reece Butler reports about BASO’s annual all-night Spring Sports event.
“While BASO focuses on helping Special Olympics continue to support its athletes, through its events and fundraising, the organization hopes the event also provides Butler students the opportunity to get together and have fun.”
Multimedia co-editor Maeve Van Etten reports about BASO Spring Sports and Butler Ballet’s upcoming showcase of Swan Lake. Multimedia reporter Eva Hallman introduces us to a 500 Festival Princess who is close to home.
The newscast is back in the studio this week. Ben and Ethan cover the news, Marisa is in the sports corner, and Veronica talks to a special guest from Butler’s speech team.
Multimedia reporter Maeve Van Etten reports on this year’s Spring Sports and its return to normalcy.
Multimedia reporter Maeve Van Etten reports about BASO’s Spring Sports event coming up, and multimedia reporter Ben Buttrick talks about an annoyance for student drivers.
Butler Ambassadors to Special Olympics put on their annual Spring Sports event, which lasts from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. in the Health and Recreation Center and Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The Butler Bulldogs won the first game against Providence College but dropped the next two in weekend softball matchup.
Homefield advantage means nothing when students do not attend spring sporting events. I would expect Jordan Hall or the library to be empty on the weekend. However, I wouldn’t expect this at one of the many athletic competitions that go on every weekend. Student attendance at sports games this spring has been very low. At…
Men’s basketball and football dominate the athletics scene not only at Butler but also at universities across the nation. Because of this, spring sports often take a back seat to these fall and winter sports no matter how well teams might be doing, and attendance statistics reflect this. Junior first baseman Pat Gelwicks, a member…

We have core competencies for coaching, tenets that underpin our ethics and our coaching skills.
The leadership team at The Coaching Revolution is made up of 14 mentors who are alumni. They joined The Coaching Revolution to learn how to market their coaching business comfortably and effectively and now that they each have thriving businesses, they have been invited back to help other coaches to enjoy the same success.
We believe that we should have core competencies for marketing too, pillars to support the marketing efforts and business aims of our coaches – and so we created them.
These core competencies are at the heart of all that we do and teach.
Marketing any business is about being consistent with effort. Resilience comes in when it feels like those efforts aren’t working! There is a period of time in which a coach puts down roots before any green shoots (i.e. enquiries from potential clients) become visible.
2. Creativity and Innovation
Marketing is a creative endeavour. It incorporates the ability to use imagination and new ideas to produce marketing content, especially for a chosen audience.
3. Tech Savvy
Our clients don’t need to bring technical skills to the table, but they must be willing to learn.
4. Coaching Skills
Sales conversations are structured coaching conversations. We expect our coaches to hold a professional coaching qualification or to be taking one.
5. Analytical Skills
Not everything one tries marketing-wise is successful. Analytical skills are necessary to measure what is/isn’t working and to adjust accordingly.
6. Entrepreneurial Skills
The ability to think ahead to either spot or create opportunities. The understanding that a coaching business isn’t a job and that therefore being busy or productive isn’t the same as being effective.
The ability to work in a way that considers the impact on yourself and other people, organisations and the wider environment.
8. Strategic Thinking
Using newly learned skills to become strategic in where best to place time, effort and money in order to gain maximum impact.
Knowing when to hand responsibility for aspects of your business to those who can perform them more effectively.
9. Emotional Intelligence
The ability to understand what’s happening in your client’s world and adapt your marketing accordingly.
If what I’ve said resonates with you then maybe we should talk? It costs nothing to chat with me and I’m always happy to answer questions about marketing. This is my diary.
