I don’t know if you’ve heard about these Favorite Things Parties or not, but if you haven’t, I am so happy to finally be introducing you to the concept! Here’s the thing with us girls – we all get fascinated and some may even say obsessed with certain products. When was the last time you bought a new beauty product or kitchen gadget and then proceeded to tell five of your girlfriends that they MUST try it asap?! Exactly. We talk about these things, we get giddy about these things and we can’t stand knowing that some of our friends may not be using said things. IT’S TIME TO MAKE OUR DREAMS OF EVERYBODY OWNING WHAT WE LOVE A REALITY. Insert a Favorite Things Party. The concept is super simple and the execution is even simpler [that’s where we come into play – our gift ideas are all outlined below!] The LIY team had our own little Favorite Things Party recently [side note: you can host this at ANY time of the year, it does not need to be a holiday event!] and thought we would share with you exactly how we did it and what our favorite things were!
What is a Favorite Things Party?
Let’s start with the basics – what is a Favorite Things party, exactly? Allow me. A Favorite Things party is when you invite any amount of friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, or whomever you want to enjoy an evening of fun with over for an hour or three. The only stipulation? If attending, they must bring a favorite thing of their own under a certain price limit [we did under $50, but this is totally up to you!]. If you’re familiar with a traditional Favorite Things Party, your price limit is typically around $10 and you would bring multiples of the gift for each guest. HOWEVER, this is a new take on the Favorite Things Party! This year, instead of bringing one gift for each guest, we decided to go a different route and bring ONE favorite thing at a higher price point!
If you like the sound of a traditional $10 price limit, you can check out our previous Favorite Things Party guide with $10 gift ideas here!
How to Host
Before you start the gift exchange, each person gets an opportunity to show off their Favorite Thing. Tell the group what it is and why you love it! Note: the gifts should not be wrapped. This allows you to display your Favorite Things! No mystery necessary. 😉 Now, let’s get this party started!
- Step 1: Write number’s 1-7 (or however many attendee’s are participating!) on pieces of paper and place them in a dish for a drawing.
- Step 2: Everyone draws a piece of paper from the dish. The number you draw is the order you will pick gifts!
- Step 3: Whoever drew #1 gets to pick the first gift! When it’s person #2’s turn, they have the option to either steal person #1’s gift OR select a new gift from the pile! If your gift gets stolen, you must select a new gift from the pile. This continues until each person has a gift!
- Step 4: Enjoy YOUR new favorite thing! Eat, drink, be merry. You know the drill! 😉 PS. You can find our favorite snacks and spirits for hosting here!
And now, for a few of OUR favorite things . . . *drumroll, please*
Our Favorite Things Under $50
So here’s the deal – this eye massager isn’t always under $50, but when it is, you better believe I grab several. It has quickly become one of my favorite gifts to myself and to give to others. It’s one of those things that you would never think to seek out to buy, but when you experience it, you will wish you had it for your entire life leading up to that point. It is heated, massages your temples and eye area, helps alleviate headaches, all while playing the most calming spa music. Trust me, you need it and so do your friends.
Becca’s Body Care Products
This body scrub stands out amongst the rest – rather than falling apart as you try to apply, this scrub is more of a paste-like texture, but doesn’t skimp on the grittiness you need from a great scrub! Coconut oil holds it altogether, but also leaves your skin so moisturized in the process! This shower oil gives my skin new life in the winter! It smells heavenly and leaves skin silky smooth!
Steph’s Beauty Products
Welcome to my lazy girl’s Summer guide to beauty! In the Summer my preference is a fresh face, lip gloss and mascara. While I love a fresh face, I also love it to have a little color. Since I’m naturally very pale, I slather on the sunscreen, but apply this bronzing face mist to give myself a sunny glow. This plumping lip gloss is my favorite year round, but comes in especially handy when I’m looking for a little extra on my lips since I’m not wearing much makeup.
Hannah’s Hair Favorites
These are by far my all time favorite things! I’m all about the hair care products and have been using most of these for years! It’s no secret that I love good brushes and I’ve used the Olivia Garden brand brushes for over 10 years!! This paddle brush is one of my favorites and keeps my hair so healthy! The Olaplex Bonding Oil is a hair care must have! I use it on wet and dry hair and I swear it’s made my hair look and feel so much healthier and shinier! And these hair ties keep your hair from breaking, comfortable to wear [I have a sensitive head] and I can’t get over these pretty feminine colors!
Silk Pillowcase [in Nude Champagne]
I recently hopped on the silk pillowcase bandwagon and I’m never looking back! I love the luxurious feel and if you’re a warm sleeper, they stay SO cool at night! There are all sorts of beauty benefits for your hair and skin [learn more here!] and I’m a firm believer that every woman needs one in their lives. Mine is under $50 so it makes a great “luxury” feel gift without breaking the bank!
Katy’s Favorite Things
The scent of these candles will fill a room…and I love the way this one smells! It’s hard to describe, but I’ve seen others say it smells like a mix of florals, chocolate, and amber. Whatever it is, I think you’ll love it and that you will be taking it to a favorite things party soon! This mascara helps give my short lashes some length and volume! If I am in a hurry and running out the door, I am reaching for this to make me look like I am a little put together and it will last all day. And lastly, I purchased this blanket for myself for a Target blog post and it quickly became a favorite. Not only is it beautiful to have on display but it is SO soft. You will not be disappointed if you snag this!
Before I had the NutriBullet I would use my blender to make smoothies and it was just so big and bulky and took up so much space in my dishwasher. I love how the NutriBullet is the perfect size for a single use. It’s so easy to just throw in some spinach, frozen fruit and milk and mix her up and boom…you’ve got yourself a healthy treat. I’ve also made “nice” cream with it. Which is simply frozen fruit, greek yogurt and milk. SO yummy!

Whether you are a huge sports fan, or a supportive parent, one of these Free Sports Cut Files will definitely be perfect for you.
We are not huge sports fans around here. But we do enjoy an occasional professional sporting event with the family. Especially if one of our kids are performing during the game.
Dance is our big sport around here. Both of my daughters love to go to dance class. They are really good dancers and we love to go and watch them perform. But dancing really isn’t a team sport.
We’ve done little league and volleyball, which the kids liked ok. So we would go to support the team. I wish I had made this shirt when the kids were part of those teams.
I really love how this design turned out with the leopard print inside the college team looking font. It really turned out cute. And a great, fun way to support your team.
If you’re not sure how to use an SVG, see this you tube video on how to upload an SVG to Cricut Design Space. You can also read this post on how to create a custom shirt with Cricut Explore. Making shirts with iron on vinyl is one of my favorite ways to use my cutting machine.
The Go Team cut file is in a zip file for you to download. Before you can use the file in your cutting software, you will need to unzip the file and then upload the design to your cutting software.
Free Sports Cut Files
This month my crafty friends and I are crafting all the sports things. We have so many fun Free Sports Cut Files for you this month. I love that there is something for everyone. Make sure and hop around to grab all of these free SVG files.
Free cut files are one of my favorite things to create. I think there are so many great designs out there to fit everyone’s style. Of course I have my own style and think my designs are super fun.
You can see more of the free cut files here at Liz on Call below or click on cut files in the main menu. I’m sure you’ll find something you will love and need to create ASAP.

This free printable summer coloring page is a great summer boredom buster for the kids and adults too!
When it comes to summer vacation, I always try to have some projects on hand for the kids to do. I hate hearing the “mom I’m bored” phrase. Since school is going to be coming to an end soon, I am getting together things to keep the kids busy.
My daughters love to color and draw. My daughter tells me she wants to be an artist when she grows up. I like to encourage her interest in art, so I love creating coloring pages with her in mind. I drew some summer shapes, scanned them into my computer, and created this fun summer coloring page for her.
You can download this free summer coloring page using the download below. These are for personal use only.
Sometimes she likes me to color with her on the same page, so we like lots of things to color on our coloring pages. 🙂
What are some of the things you keep on hand to keep your kids busy during the summer?

Re: Splicing to/from a tty

It's not technically just the sendfile() thing. Some things do
sendfile "internally" (ie they use do_splice_direct()).
Although maybe they always happen just on non-pipe destinations (ie
file-to-file copy). I didn't check.
But particularly if it can be handled in do_splice_direct(), that
would be a good thing.

Inside classrooms, sneeze guards are set up at each desk and many students wear masks. On the playground at recess, students must stick to their designated play area in groups of up to 12. In the cafeteria, tables that could normally seat 16 students are now limited to four.
At Lucerne Valley Elementary in Southern California’s high desert, hundreds of students have returned to in-person learning and a dramatically different school day. The school was one of the first public schools in the state to receive a waiver to reopen for in-person instruction under regulations issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom in July. The new realities at Lucerne Valley offer a glimpse into what’s called a hybrid learning model and what lies ahead for other schools across the state that await their own chance to reopen.
“The challenge with distance learning in the desert is a big one. The best internet we have out here isn’t good,” said Peter Livingston, superintendent of Lucerne Valley Unified, northeast of San Bernardino. “Having kids in with their teachers is what we needed.”
Lucerne Valley began its school year Aug. 6 with online-only classes, but received approval from the state on Aug. 12 to reopen for some in-person instruction, which began Aug. 20. Waivers to reopen are available only for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, so Lucerne Valley’s middle school and high school with students in grades seven and up are still in distance learning.
The elementary school’s 463 students all had the option of participating in in-person instruction or sticking full time with distance learning. Almost all — about 400 students — decided to return to the classroom and the school split them into two cohorts. One cohort comes to school Mondays and Tuesdays, while the other attends on Thursdays and Fridays. When students aren’t physically at school, they are participating in distance learning — including on Wednesdays, when everyone is remote and the school undergoes a deep cleaning.
Some kids opt for ‘virtual academy’
Students who chose not to participate in any face-to-face learning are instead taking classes in the school’s “virtual academy,” which is run by district teachers who are each assigned between 24 and 30 students. Those teachers and students follow the state’s guidance for distance learning, engaging in a mix of live instruction, such as video conferencing, and non-live instruction, which includes pre-recorded lessons and other independent work.
When Lucerne Valley initially applied for the waiver, San Bernardino County had more than 200 cases of the coronavirus per 100,000 residents. The state has said schools should not be considered for waivers if the county where they are located isn’t below that threshold. Last week, Newsom implemented a new color-coded county tracking system that will change the way the state determines when schools can open for in-person instruction.
Livingston successfully argued that an exception should be made for Lucerne Valley because, at that time, there were only about 56 cases per 100,000 people in the district’s jurisdiction, he said. Those figures have since dropped to about 27 infections per 100,000, Livingston added.
“Our argument was that we’re a little different out here. Our rates are much lower, and we’ve got the science to back it,” Livingston said. “This isn’t like it is down in (the city of) San Bernardino and those areas.”
As students enter the school grounds every day, a thermal camera takes their temperatures. The camera can capture the temperatures of up to 14 students at a time. The students then wait in an outdoor courtyard, where they can physically distance from each other before it’s time to go to their classrooms. Masks are recommended but optional for students in kindergarten through second grade and required for students in third grade and above.
Inside teacher Carissa Brander’s first-grade class last week, about 10 students sat two to a table, each with their own sneeze partition. The partitions are disinfected every night and are switched out in between cohorts. Supplies like crayons are also swapped out between cohorts.
Students in the class each have their own work packet. When they’re in the classroom, Brander works with them through the packet, which includes activities like handwriting and reviewing letter sounds. During their distance learning days, the students continue to work on the packets from home, supplemented by lessons pre-recorded by their teachers.
Before in-person learning resumed on Aug. 20, Brander and the other teachers at Lucerne Valley were initially required to teach from their empty classrooms for the first two weeks of the school year while their students logged on from home.
“It’s nice to have them back because it’s weird to sit in here by myself on the computer,” Brander said. “It was an adjustment making all of our lesson plans virtual, but it challenges us to be creative in the way we present stuff.”
After the district transitioned to distance learning in March, it purchased about 200 hotspots for families who needed them. That helped those families, but even then, the internet speeds were slow and distance learning was a challenge for many of those families, Livingston said.
“With our hot spots, they get better internet. But it’s definitely not like in the city,” he said. “And so especially with the little ones, like the first- and second-graders, there’s more accountability now because they get to come back to their teacher twice a week.”
Misty Davis, who has two daughters at the school, agreed and said a return to in-person learning was necessary for her youngest daughter, Sophie.
Sophie is in second grade and benefits from one-on-one communication with her teacher, but she hasn’t been able to have those types of interactions during distance learning, Davis said.
“There are 20 other kids on the Zoom and everything’s kind of chaotic,” Davis said. “So this is a lot better.”
Not every teacher in the school, however, has abandoned daily, live video conferencing. Mckenzie Tardibuono, a fifth-grade teacher, still teaches every day over Zoom. When students are physically at school, they log into Zoom from inside the classroom and participate in the same lesson as their classmates who are at home.
Tardibuono said she decided to set up the class that way because more than half of the students in her class — 14 out of 25 — chose to do distance learning full-time. Rather than sending them to the school’s virtual academy, where they would have a different teacher, she decided to construct her class in a way that allows them to all participate.
Currently, students in the class are reading Louis Sachar’s 1998 novel “Holes.” Those doing distance learning full-time follow along from home.
“The kids who are staying virtual, it was more so the parents not feeling comfortable enough to send them to school, and I didn’t want those kids to feel left out because of that. So I tried to make an inclusive environment,” Tardibuono said.
Tardibuono said her students who are in the classroom have needed no reminders to wear their masks throughout the day. She also has a system to make sure her students are properly washing their hands. Before they go to recess, each student gets a stamp on their hand. If the stamp isn’t gone when they return, they have to go back and wash their hands at one of the school’s new outdoor hand-washing stations.
While students are at recess, they must stay with the other children in their class. The school has designated certain equipment and playground areas for each grade, and no mixing between classes is allowed.
During one recent recess, teacher Tatyana Maurice had to remind her second-grade students to stick to those rules.
“Stay on your side. Don’t go over there,” she told them as some students started to veer away from their designated area.
Maurice said she also often reminds her students to “spread their butterfly wings” — their arms — to make sure they have enough distance between one another.
In between recess periods, custodians disinfect the playground equipment with spray. Some equipment and toys that would be more difficult to disinfect — such as giant Lego blocks — have been stored away for the time being.
Before going to lunch, students line up at one of the district’s outdoor hand-washing stations and take turns washing their hands. Then they walk single file into the cafeteria and aides remind them to keep a distance between one another.
After picking up grab-and-go lunches, an aide directs the students to specific seats in the cafeteria. The cafeteria is only filled to 25% of its normal capacity. Once 25% capacity is reached, the rest of the students eat outside, where there are benches and pop-up structures to provide shade.
In case a student were to display symptoms consistent with the coronavirus, the school has also set up an isolation room with cots where students can stay until a parent can pick them up.
If a student tests positive for COVID-19, the school will consult with officials in the county’s public health department. At the very least, that student’s class would be shut down and sent home to do distance learning exclusively for two weeks, principal Ricky Anderson said.
“We’ve tried to encourage the parents at home to do some self-assessments before they even get to school and are encouraging them if they’re sick, stay home,” Anderson said. “But that’s the kind of the beauty of distance learning in the hybrid system is that even if they’re home, it’s not considered an absence.”
Throughout the school day, custodians are constantly disinfecting commonly used spaces like the bathrooms and lunch tables. On Wednesdays, when no students are on campus, they do a deeper clean and disinfect all the classrooms. Teachers also have their own disinfectants to clean their classrooms during the day.
School officials also made several upgrades throughout the campus to mitigate the risk of the virus. They installed several new outdoor hand-washing stations, bought portable air filters and upgraded their air conditioning filters to purify the air as it circulates. To pay for those changes, the district had to dip into its reserves.
“If we do get more federal money, that’s great, and we can backfill those costs,” said Livingston, the superintendent. “But we’re not depending on that.”
Anderson, the principal, said the school might make additional changes to the school day if it becomes safe to do so. Once a week during a typical school year, students would take specialized classes like art, yoga and robotics, and students from different grades would mix with each other for those courses. The school also typically has small-group interventions where students get intensive learning in math or reading, but has had to put a stop to those.
“As we get more guidance, we might bring some of those things back,” Anderson said. “This is a slow process.”

Megan Callahan, MS, RD, LD
Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian

Pears are especially popular in the fall and in holidays dishes; however, they have gained year-round popularity due to being versatile in many dishes. It’s easy and delicious to incorporate pears into sweet or savory dishes, and you add a whole lot of nutrition. At Hy-Vee you will find several varieties ranging from Bartlett, Anjou and Red Anjou to Bosc.
Selecting, storing and preparing pears doesn’t have to be difficult with these easy tips. Select pears that have a slight give when gently pressed at the top. Pears ripen from the inside out, so softness overall may indicate over ripeness. Store at room temperature, or inside a paper bag if pears are hard or firm and needing to ripen. Prepare by washing with cold water before eating. No need to peel, just slice pears in half and take out the core with a knife or melon baller.
This fun fruit is high in fiber – which helps keep you full – and potassium, a powerful player in hydration, muscle and nerve functioning and regulating blood pressure. Potassium may also aid in reducing blood pressure and water retention, protect against stroke and prevent osteoporosis and kidney stones. Pears also are an excellent source of vitamin C, a defender of cell health as an antioxidant.
The sweetest, juiciest varieties are found at Hy-Vee – there’s no com-pear-ison!

Online slots are amongst the most played gambling games in India. As the Indian online gambling industry opens further, and a greater array of casinos come online, it is no surprise to see a wealth of top online slots playable in the sub-continent. However, if you are new to the world of online casino games, you might find yourself asking what slots are and how they work?
How to Play Online Slots in India
There are many different types of slot machines you can play at Indian online casinos. Despite the surplus of diversity in the slot genre, most are played in the same way. Each slot consists of a series of reels, which spin, and those reels contain symbols. Spanning the reels are several paylines – pathways that can result in a payout when symbols appear on them. Ultimately, your objective is to match up three or more identical symbols across these paylines to win.
How to Start
Before playing a slot, a player must set up their bet. They do this by selecting the value of the coins they wish to play with, the number of coins they wish to bet per payline, and the number of paylines they want to play with. The more active paylines you have, the greater your chance of success. Some modern slots have fixed stakes, which means that you cannot alter the number of lines.
The standard paying symbols in a slot can often be thematic, loosely based on the overall theme of the game. However, some opt to go for a classic approach, consisting of fruit, bells, bars, and sevens, as well as high playing card icons. These can all cough up wins when they appear three or more times on a payline.
Know your Slots Symbols
To aid players with winning, several special symbols may also appear on the reels. Each slot may have some or all these icons available to players. These can include:
- Wild Symbols: These come in many shapes and forms, but all can substitute for standard paying symbols, in much the same way that jokers do in a deck of cards.
- Scatter Symbols: Scatter symbols get their name because they count no matter where they show up. They can appear scattered and can still payout small wins. Some even trigger bonuses when three or more appear in any position on the reels.
- Bonus Symbols: Bonus symbols seldom payout wins; however, they can trigger bonus rounds. These symbols typically need to appear on specific reels at once.
- Random Bonuses: Modern video slots often contain a series of random bonuses. These are triggered without anything specific needing to be done. They may include multipliers (which can boost what you can win), special wilds, extra paylines, reels and much more besides.
Some special symbols – such as bonus icons and scatters – can also be used to trigger bonus rounds. The most common types of bonus rounds in slots include the following…
- Free Spins: A free spins bonus will typically see players able to spin the reels of a slot for free for a predetermined number of spins. These rounds may contain added features.
- Re-Spins: A re-spin bonus works in a similar way to free spins, although successive re-spins are often only granted if players continue to fulfil objectives such as winning spins or landing specific icons.
- Click and Win Features: Another popular form of bonus is the click and win round. In this feature, players can expect to click on a series of symbols to pocket cash prizes. The specifics of these bonuses may change from game to game.
- Other Bonuses: A variety of other bonuses may also appear in slots. Indian players may be able to find wheel-based bonuses and a variety of other rounds. Again, these vary from slot to slot.
Winning, Prizes and Payouts
The amount you can win in slot games does vary. All standard gambling wins typically occur in the same way, in that players need to land matching icons on three or more reels. The amount you can win is based on the amount wagered, and the typical prize for symbol combinations as displayed in the slot’s pay table. The more you bet, the more you can win.
There are other ways to pocket wins, too. Sometimes, players can be on the receiving end of a randomly triggered win. The biggest wins come from jackpot prizes, though, and there are a few types of these that you can claim.
- Progressive Jackpot: A progressive jackpot is a top-paying prize which is not capped. It rises with each new bet made. The same jackpot is available for all players of the game at all casinos offering the slot, and when one player wins it, it resets to a base value. Progressive prizes may be won at random, via bonus rounds or paid out when players land five jackpot icons a payline.
- Non-Progressive Jackpot: By contrast, non-progressive jackpots are capped. The same prize can be won time and time again. In most cases, this prize is won by landing five identical jackpot symbols on a payline.
- Daily, Weekly Jackpots: This is a relatively new type of jackpot game. These are time-based jackpots (often progressive) where the prize must be won within a specific timeframe.
- Community Jackpots: By contrast, community jackpot games pay out their progressive prizes in a different way. Any player who has played recently (within specific timeframes) is entitled to a share of a jackpot, which is won by another player. The amount they will win is predetermined, based on their wagering habits.
You will find a few different slot variants out there. Indian players will often have access to many of these following online slot machine games:
- MegaWays: A MegaWays slot is a game that uses many thousands, sometimes tens or hundreds of thousands of paylines. The number of lines you get varies on each spin at random.
- Cluster Pays: Cluster Pays slots do not require players to land winning symbols on paylines. Instead, they can pocket wins when clusters or groups of symbols appear together. In most cases, these symbols will then disappear, and new ones will drop down from above, giving Indian players several re-spins free of charge.
- Classic Slots: Classic slots are another name for 3-reel slots. Most online slots are video slots, which feature 5 reels. Classic slots are more primitive, based on an older generation of slots, often lack many paylines and scarcely offer special symbols or features.
- 3D Slots: 3D slot machines consist of any video slots that feature 3D symbols or animation on the reels.
- Mobile Slots: Mobile slots is also a name for a broad group of games. In short, these games are any that can be played via mobile phones and tablets.
Online Slots Strategies for Success
You are not going to get much change out of trying to use slot strategies. Slots are games of chance, and most games of chance do not respond well to strategies as there is truly little to predict or skill involved. However, there are things you can do to ensure that you have a better time playing slots online, such as…
- Variance and Volatility: Each slot has a variance or volatility level. Low variance slots payout frequently, but smaller sums of cash. Highly volatile games seldom payout, but when they do, the win tends to be sizeable. Highly volatile games require a large budget to play (to sustain periods of substantial losses), so keep that in mind.
- RTP Rates: The RTP rate is the theoretical rate at which a slot pays out. Aim for games that have RTP rates of 96% or higher.
- Number of Symbols: The number of symbols you will find in slot machines should be considered. The more symbols that appear in a slot, the less likely you are to win, as there is a good chance that useless symbols will get in the way of you landing a winning combo.
- Value for Money: Why play a 25-line slot for $0.25 per spin, when you can play a 256 ways to win slot machine for the same stake. It is always worth exploring whether you are getting value for money with your bets before wagering.
Where to Play Online Slots in India
You can expect to play online slots at virtually all major online casinos in India. You really will not have to look too hard to find such casinos. The best casino sites offering online slots will be those, which feature many hundreds of titles, but also those, which serve up games from a variety of top casino software providers. Fortunately, this means most Indian online casinos will fit the bill.

Nursing in stressful work environments
Health care needs to change. It’s time to improve work environments for nurses and ultimately improve the patient experience. A systems approach to reduce burnout and unnecessary systems challenges can result in greater well-being, engagement, safety, and career satisfaction.
Stressed Healthcare in the U.S.
What do you think – is U.S. healthcare perfect just the way it is? I don’t think so! Neither does the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Association (MHA). In an easy to read bullet format, a the newly released Caring for the Caregiver Task Force Report presents challenges and recommendations regarding workplace violence and worker injury, workplace culture, workplace wellness, caregiver preparation, lack of available job applicants, and staffing shortages. All of these challenges negatively impact not only healthcare staff, but also patient care.
In my research about stress and nursing, I’ve read about all of the challenges cited before. None of them are new to me, and if you work in healthcare, they won’t be new to you either. The difference, for me, is that this is the first report I’ve read that compiles all of these challenges in one place. Frankly, I was overwhelmed, and began to wonder how any of us healthcare workers make it through the day.
I don’t want to overwhelm you, my reader, but I do want to bring to your attention that reducing the stress of working in healthcare is not only a personal issue, but also a systems issue. I want you to feel supported by knowing that others see the problems and want to improve the healthcare system. I hope you will accept that you are likely stressed, and something needs to give, even though a common response of healthcare professionals is to accept all the challenges thrown at them as “all in a days work.” I want you to care for your self by managing your personal stress and become an advocate for a healthier safer healthcare system for all workers and patients. Don’t worry – I’ll help!
If you work in healthcare, do you acknowledge or ignore the stressful challenges of your work? The number and nature of challenges varies among organizations, and sometimes among departments within the same organization. One of the accomplishments of the MHA task force is to name, in one document, the many challenges interfering in doing what we entered healthcare for in the first place – to compassionately care for patients.
Here are some of the challenges they identified in “Caring for the Caregiver Task Force Report.” I invite you to read through this list of challenges addressed by the task force as if it’s a check list. Check how many you experience in your work setting. How many do you think you might check? One, five, ten, or more?
Challenges to safety from workplace violence and workplace injury
- Organizations that discourage or make it challenging to report violence or injury
- Inaccuracy of systemic data collection about workplace violence
- Lack of support for staff affected by violence or injury
- Lack of training for staff in violence prevention
- Lack of effective injury prevention in the workplace
- Insufficient specialty beds for patients with mental health, forensic, or substance abuse issues
Challenges to engagement in positive work environments
- Rapid changes with information technology
- A trend of high turnover among younger generations
- Different generations of staff have different skill sets, communication styles and motivations.
- A shift from smaller to larger organizations, created by mergers and consolidations
- Varying levels of contentment and discontent within an organization, often related to leadership within micro-cultures
- Compassion fatigue
Challenges to well-being, including physical, emotional, mental, financial and social health
- Disruptive financial, technological, political, and workforce challenges
- Overall, a decreased well-being of staff members
- Increased rates of burnout
- Ineffective wellness programs
- Reactive stress management approaches, rather than proactive mitigation of stressors
- Insufficient opportunities for growth and development
- Lack of respect and supervisory support
Challenges to a healthcare workforce
- Shortages of job applicants, depending on location and specialty
- Not enough effort given to staff retention resulting in high turnover rates
- Negative perceptions of some care settings, such as home care and long-term nursing care
- Reimbursement rates in many settings too low to compensate staff sufficiently
- Sense of isolation specifically among home care staff
- Shortages of mental health staff
- Lack of safe and effective staffing measures
How many of these challenges do you experience in your workplace?
How many did you check? 50%, 75%, 100%? With that information you are ready to
- Acknowledge and accept your own stress levels
- Care for yourself with stress management interventions
- Advocate for what needs to change in your work setting
Solutions for a systems approach to resilience
Thankfully, this task force’s report does more than identify problems, which most of us are quite capable of doing. In each of the four focus areas, both recommendations for the future as well as specific recommendations during the Covid-19 pandemic are offered. In addition to recommendations, there is an extensive list of resources for each of the focus areas and for the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, the MHA has created a website to which additional curated resources will be added.
What nurses and patients can do
The health care system needs to improve work environments for nurses and ultimately the patient experience. Reducing clinical caregiver stress and increasing resilience will take a systems approach. Best practices improve work environments for nurses by reducing burnout and unnecessary challenges, resulting in greater well-being, engagement, safety, and career satisfaction. And those accomplishments will result in better patient care and patient satisfaction.
What can we do to be sure the challenges of either working in healthcare or being a patient in healthcare are resolved? Changing the healthcare system not only begins at the top of the administrative ladder, but it also begins with front line transformational leaders on the bottom rungs of the administrative healthcare ladder. Two places to start are by raising awareness to both challenges and solutions, and by advocating for change in whatever circles of influence you have. Each healthcare leader, department, site, facility, and organization must choose to act – and you can encourage them to do so.
- Alert your employer to the Caring for the Caregiver Task Force Report.
- Discuss issues you see in your workplace with healthcare administrators.
- Bring hope to your unit director, team leader, or C-suite that change is possible and that resources to create change, such as this task force report, are available.
- If you don’t work in healthcare, you are likely a patient consumer. Ask your provider if they know about this report, and what positive changes they plan to support their staff.
What will I be doing? In upcoming newsletters and on TLC’s Facebook page, I’ll continue to offer information about how you can join healthcare advocacy organizations and how you can support legislation that solves challenges in ways you know to be effective. Until effective system changes take place and stress on healthcare providers is greatly reduced, I’ll be here to help you with stress.
Together we can raise awareness of the challenges and advocate for healthcare change!
In peace, Gale

The distinguished guests of Gressoney
Initially, Queen Margherita of Savoy came to Gressoney invited by Baron Luigi Beck Peccoz, and later her husband King Umberto I had a castle built for her in the area called Belvedere. The castle evokes a fairy-tale atmosphere and is the true highlight of Gressoney. There, from the window of her living room, the queen would scrutinize each peak of the Monte Rosa massif. The castle was opened in August 1904 and became the summer residence of the Queen until 1925, a few months before her death on 10th January 1926. Today, it is used to host artistic and cultural events. The Queen attracted aristocratic and cultural figures including the poets Giuseppe Giacosa (1897) and Giosuè Carducci (1898) to Gressoney. In 1893, the hut, an observatory which took her name, was inaugurated on Gnifetti Peak at 4554 m a.s.l. From that altitude the queen contemplated the sunrise and exclaimed: «Before this greatness of mountains and this solemn expanse of glaciers, pitiful doubt falls silent and faith rises strongly and forcefully to God». En route from Pont Saint Martin to Gressoney, the queen would stop at Issime to change horses and sometimes the carriage would have to be replaced by a sleigh because of a sudden snowfall.
In 1889, Queen Margherita of Savoy invited the poet Giosuè Carducci to Gressoney who lodged in Hotel Miravalle. During his stay he composed sonnets in honour of the Queen, but also poems inspired by the beauty of the Valley including In riva al Lys, dated 8thAugust 1908. He dedicated Ode Alla Regina d’Italia, Il liuto e la lira, A Margherita Regina d’Italia to the queen.
In 1895, Carducci descended from Gressoney with his beloved granddaughter Elvira: having reached Gaby, he decided to stop, captivated by the magnificent landscape, and dedicated a song to the magnificent Niel waterfall. In Gaby he stayed at the new “Albergo dei Colli Vecchina e Mologna”, a hotel which had been built to offer accommodation to travellers who crossed the Alpine passes. It was there that Carducci met Maria Stevenin on the threshold and asked for hospitality.
Intrigued, the next day Maria asked Carducci what he was writing. In response, he promised that he would send her the verses he was writing; a few days later the woman received the poem which had been entitled to her, L’Ostessa di Gaby, dated 27th August 1895. The same day Carducci wrote Mezzogiorno Alpino.
Colonel of the Austrian Imperial and Royal Army and naturalist, he was sent to Italy in 1821 to repress the secret revolutionary societies known as “carbonari”. He visited different communities of Alemannic origin and in 1822 he went to Gressoney where he carried out in-depth research on the flora and fauna. LUDWIGSHOEHE Peak was named after him. Before him, in 1789, Orace Benedict De Saussure had discovered the presence of the German race south of the Rosa mountain chain, the Walser, and in his Voyage dans les Alps he called it: “une espèce de garde allemande…je veux dire des villages allemands situés autour du Mont Rose”.
The most prominent ancestor of the Linty family (1739-1819) was born in Wengen, Germany. At the age of 8 he was brought to Châtillon, where he began to study until he graduated in Law in Turin. He later moved to Aosta. On 17th October 1777 he became secretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turin and, in 1783, drew up the act for the wedding of Prince Vittorio Emanuele I with the Princess of Austria, Maria Teresa. In 1791, he was appointed Commander of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus and director of the Mauritian hospital of Aosta. He reorganised the hospital, where new donations poured in and a new ward was built. The French government offered to transfer him to Paris as Director of the United Hospitals but he refused, sending a report in which he clearly stated the need of his work in Aosta. In 1819, he left his inheritance to the hospital to build a new women’s ward, which was built at a later date by his successor.
The first was Leonardo Da Vinci, who ventured to the slopes of Monte Rosa (which he called Monboso) in the early 16th century, fascinated by its ice covered peaks even in summer and which he wanted to remember in his famous code Monboso… a mountain which rises so high that it almost passes the clouds. In 1773, Austrian Emperor Francis II descended incognito to Gressoney from Colle Valdobbia and thanks to several writings we know that he stayed with a person named Curta. English travellers include J.D.Forbes, a naturalist and painter, who climbed the Lys Glacier in 1842, and Theofile Ladner, the famous painter who immortalized different landscapes and painted numerous family portraits between 1850-1852. Until the mid 19th century travellers found lodging in private homes, the hotel activity developed later; the first hotel called De La Pierre opened in Gressoney in 1800. Guests have included Reverend Samuel W. King (1855), Lady Cole (1858), writer and painter, Ferdinand Duke of Genoa (1864), father of Queen Margherita and guest of Baron Beck Peccoz Luigi.
Other hotels which opened starting from 1861: Hotel du Nord e Monte Rosa of Sebastiano Linty, Hotel Pensione Thédy in 1880 in Gressoney La Trinité, Hotel Lyskamm of the Busca family in Saint Jean in 1887.
Other guests: King Umberto I Vittorio Emanuele, the Prince of Piemonte Maria José (1838-1989 after his exile to Switzerland); Joseph Mallord William Turner: the famous English painter, his presence is uncertain, could be between 1817 and 1819; Leone Tolstoj visited the Lys Valley in June 1857; he reached Gressoney Saint Jean from Turin, first by carriage, later on foot and mule’s back. In 1894, Monsignor Achille Ratti (who became Pope Pius XI) arrived in Gressoney to climb the Gnifetti and Testa Grigia peak: «Having departed Gressoney at 6 we climbed to a chapel, the air was pure and thin, clear sounds on the mountains, a young man sings, descent, aromas and smells of rye and melissa, a cuckoo sings»; Giuseppe Giacosa (1897): the poet who penned Novelle e Paesi Valdostani inspired by the family of Franz Welf in Cortlys; Francesco Pastonchi stayed in Lysbalma, where he wrote numerous poems; W. Mathews made the first crossing of the Felikjoch, with F.W.Jacob and the guide Michel Craz of Chamonix: it took them 17 hours from Cortlis to Wematt, and they were the first to climb the Castor summit along the south-eastern ridge; Senator Perazzi (1879), a mountaineer whose name was given to one of the peaks of Monte Rosa; Quintino Sella, geologist, mathematician and politician; Senator Albertini.
Noblemen: Deslex Noble family from Bourgogne.
Poets, writers and painters, Prof. Lupo and Falchetti.
Statesmen: Einaudi Pella Togliatti Saragat Pandolfi. President of the Helvetic confederation: Musy; President of the Court of Cassation Eula and Baffi, Governor of the Bank of Italy.
Sculptors: Mastroiammi and Moore.
Painters: Velan, Nespolo Ugo. Senator: Prof. Gallo. Painter of the Pope: Consadori.
Many of those who choose our valley, to escape from the stress and chaos of city life, prefer to remain anonymous and to have their rights to privacy respected.

Advice on Setting a Marijuana Quit Date
Setting a marijuana quit date gives you a week or two to prepare and get ready for success.
Picking Your Marijuana Quit Date
Try to slot your quit day on a day you have little else going on – so you can focus all of your attention on quitting.
Good Times for a Quit Date
- On ‘milestone’ dates, such as your birthday or New Year’s Day.
- On the first day of your vacation.
- During a low-stress time at work or school.
- When suffering through a negative symptom that makes smoking difficult or unpleasant (such as a sore throat, cough or sore lungs, for example.)
- When you have another friend or relative to quit with.
Periods to Avoid
Ideally, you pick a quit date to maximize your odds of success. With this in mind, avoid trying for major life change during difficult periods of the year. Avoid setting your quit date:
- During high stress times at work or school.
- When feeling depressed.
- Just before a holiday – The extra stress and relapse temptation of holidays makes for perilous quit times.
- During times when you won’t have the support of friends and family.
- When grieving a major loss, like the death of a loved-one.
Deciding on Your Quit Date
You don’t want to set your quit date for the stressful week before Christmas, but at the same time, once you decide to stop using marijuana, you want to get on with quitting reasonably quickly.
- A quit date set too far in advance is as good as meaningless. Too many months between you and stopping gives you too many opportunities to change your mind or lose your resolve.
- A week or 2, gives you enough time to prepare. Try not to set your quit date later than 1 month in the future.
Once You’ve Picked a Quit Date
To solidify your plans:1
- Write the date down and circle it on your calendar. Set alerts for your phone or tablet for the days leading up to your date.
- Tell friends or loved ones about your plan to quit and your quit date.
Remember, just as it’s important to pick a quit date and stick with it, it’s also great to celebrate meeting your goals.2 Plan a little reward for yourself after:
- The first 24 hours.
- The first week (once marijuana withdrawal symptoms are dissipating or gone.)
- The first month.

THE BIRDS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS MAKE UP SUCH AN EXTENSIVE AND EXCITING CHAPTER THAT ALL THE PAGES IN A YEAR WOULDN’T BE ENOUGH TO SPEAK ABOUT ALL OF THEM. ON THIS OCCASION WE’LL FOCUS ON THE WETLANDS IN THE CANARY ISLANDS AND THE BIRDS INHABITING THEM.
Text and photo: Alberto Sarabia Hierro
One of the most impressive characteristics of this group of birds is, no doubt, their migratory capacity. A wide variety of species, after spending the summer months in the north of Europe, travel to the southern hemisphere looking for food and heat when these factors are scarce in the north. Some of them travel for thousands of kilometres until they get to areas where the mating and breeding conditions are idyllic.
The Canary Islands, due to their latitude and proximity to the African continent, play a key role in the migratory routes. Especially Fuerteventura has some wetlands that have water all through the year. These little oasis play an important role as a rest area: Imagine their energy output during their travels! They need quiet places with water and food where they can restore their strength before going on with their travel. One of the best known wetlands is the dam of «Las Parcelas», near the massif of Betancuria, where some bird species have established their breeding settlements.
The most outstanding settlement is that made up by the Ruddy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea), a kind of endangered goose that has made up a stable breeding settlement in Fuerteventura. Among other species that have settled nesting colonies we find the Common Moorhen ( Gallinula chloropus), The Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra), The little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) and The Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus).
We can also watch other species in our island, like The Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), The Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) and The Canary Island Crow (Curvus corax canariensis). On rocky hillside areas we must highlight the Trumpeter Finch (Bucanetes githagineus), an endangered species that has an endemic subspecies in The Canary Islands, The Canary Islands Stonechat (Saxicola dacotiae), or The Southern Grey Shike (Lanius meridionalis).
Some of these species are really endangered and are exposed to several impacts like habitat degradation (water extraction, trampling and overgrazing), noise and disturbance! Remember, when you visit some of these places, the wetlands are of vital importance in an island like ours, where water is a scarce resource: moderate your activities, since birds, especially migratory ones, may be exhausted after their travels. But most of all, enjoy silence, the birds singing and their differences!

If you are a teacher or a student teacher, you know how hectic some days can be! Some days you just don’t have time to pack a lunch every morning. Some days you have to eat at weird times or eat and work at the same time. Here are some nutritious and affordable teacher lunch ideas to keep you going.
When You Need to Eat Standing Up
Freezer burritos are the perfect “on your feet” meal! Just pop them in the microwave and go. You could, of course, get the store-bought kind, but make your lunch healthier (and possibly cheaper!) by making your own. Then you could leave a month’s worth of lunches in the teacher’s lounge freezer. 😉 My favorite recipe is over at Budget Bytes. You could also mix it up by adding shredded chicken, black beans, or taco meat. (This is my personal favorite of the teacher lunch ideas — I made it through my first semester teaching on burritos alone! Not that I recommend that…)
When You Don’t Have Time to Pack a Lunch
The key here is realizing this ahead of time, not when you are already 10 minutes late! If you are a salad person, make a practice of bringing salad stuff to work at the beginning of each week. This can be whatever you like beyond the basic salad greens. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but do include some nuts and some protein (like beans, cheese, or meat) to make it more filling. That way, you don’t have to remember to bring a lunch every day and you know you’re eating nutritiously.
When You Have to Eat Lunch at 10am, but Work Until 5pm
This also applies if you get to work at 7am, but don’t get to eat until 2pm! The answer here is (1) protein and (2) healthy snacks. Make sure your lunch is filling (that’s where the protein comes in!) so it will hold you over as long as possible. Then, bring a supply of snacks for the day or keep some in your desk. Think fruit (fresh or dried), trail mix, cheese, or granola bars. Avoid empty calories like chips or sweets; they won’t provide the nutrients you need to be at your best. Make sure to stay hydrated throughout the day, too, by carrying a water bottle with you if possible.

PEN Canada, a Toronto-based charity that advocates for free expression and the rights of writers, became the subject of a CRA audit into its political activities yesterday. PEN has been critical of the Harper government for muzzling scientists as well as on eavesdropping and espionage issues.
According to the Globe and Mail there have been more than 50 such political activities audits launched by the CRA since the Federal Government announced a crackdown on charities in the 2012 budget. The Times Colonist notes other prominent charities on the list of targets including Amnesty International Canada, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Canada Without Poverty, and the United Church of Canada. They also quote Agency Director Cathy Jawara as telling a meeting of the Canadian Bar Association that “[t]he process for identifying which charities will be audited, for any reason, is handled by the (charities) directorate itself and is not subject to political direction.”
Many watchers and commentators are not convinced. The Canadian Press reports on several ongoing investigations, noting that several of the subject charities, including Tides Canada, the David Suzuki Foundation, and Environmental Defence Canada, were the subjects of formal complaints made in early 2012 by Ethical Oil, an organization dedicated to “encouraging businesses, people, and governments to choose ethical oil from Canada, its oil sands, and from other liberal democracies.” EthicalOil.org is not itself a charity.
Canadian Magazines Blog notes that many charities are reporting an “audit chill” – avoiding political speech entirely although charities are permitted to spend up to 10% of their revenues on political activities. PEN Canada’s President Phillip Slayton remains unbowed, however, saying “I refuse to let it have a chilling effect on us. We are not going to have some kind of fear — about having our charitable status questioned by authorities — stop us speaking out on issues.”
The Chill is real, according to researcher Gareth Kirkby. His paper “An Uncharitable Chill” claims that certain charities are targetted, that changing interpretations of the regulations cause uncertainty, and that the impact has in fact been to discourage advocacy and “narrow society’s important policy conversations.” Finally, he concludes that “the current federal government is corrupting Canada’s democratic processes by treating as political enemies those civil-society organizations whose contributions to public policy conversations differ from government priorities.”
Blogger J. Baglow is more direct: “Don’t piss on me and tell me that it’s raining,” he says on Rabble.ca. He notes that the list of targets reads like a Who’s Who of Canadian charities, but includes none of Canada’s prominent right-wing charities that are politically active such as the Fraser Institute or Knights of Columbus. “Harper has already targeted scientists, and artists, and First Nations, and trade unionists, and Elections Canada, and Statistics Canada, and the employees of the National Library, and our diplomats, and even weather forecasters. Now it’s the turn of registered charities who don’t toe the line.”
The initial budget of $8 million for the audits has ballooned to $13 million and the audits have now become a permanent part of the CRA’s work, according to CTV news. No charities have lost their status in the current round and only one, a doctor’s charity, lost its status in the previous round.
The NDP is calling for an independent probe.

On October 20 Russia, China, Pakistan, India, Iran and formerly Soviet Central Asian states Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan joined the Taliban in calling for the UN to convene a United Nations donor conference as soon as possible to help rebuild the country. The USA chose not to attend the talks, citing technical reasons, but has said it may join future rounds. The Taliban representatives attended their first international conference (since they took power in Afghanistan in August) where as per Russia - “[the victory of the Taliban, irrespective of any Taliban intentions, has caused something like a great inspiration for different radical Islamists throughout the former Soviet space]” - as mentioned at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/20/russia-hosts-taliban-for-talks-but-warns-no-recognition-for-now and
In addition to apprehensions about spread of militant Jihadi movements [not only in Afghanistan border-sharing countries (Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan Chinese Xingjiang province and even India through its claimed territory of J&K including Gilgit-Baltistan) but also in their neighboring former USSR Countries] - Russia also fears that a flood of Afghan refugees into Central Asia could provide cover for Islamist militants to infiltrate countries in the region. Hence Russia has taken following steps:-
(i)- Taking lessons from the military defeat of the USSR in Afghanistan, to avoid another defeated military conflict with Afghanistan, and to ensure that Islamists don’t creep into Moscow’s traditional sphere of influence, Russia is trying to bolster the defenses of Tajikistan and other countries in the region. A Russia-led security alliance including Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan is also currently holding military exercises near the Afghan border in Tajikistan.
(ii)- Russia expressed concern over the manifestation of activities by banned terrorist organizations in Afghanistan because notwithstanding the claims of Taliban (that it will not allow terrorist organizations to function in Afghanistan) recently hundreds of people have been killed in terrorist attacks (claimed by ISIS - Khorasan) in Shia Masjids in Afghanistan. A key concern for Moscow remains preventing Afghanistan from becoming a base for terrorist groups . Hence through this October 20 conference in Russia the Taliban are given the chance to solve Afghanistan issues, fulfill their promises not to attack Central Asia and keep different terrorist organizations out of Afghanistan.
(iii)- This Russian conference urged the international community to mobilize efforts to provide urgent economic aid to the conflict-ridden, cash-strapped nation in the interest of maintaining political stability and further called on the international community to unfreeze more than $9 billion in Afghan reserves held in overseas accounts and to fund humanitarian aid efforts.
(iv)- But Russian approach is contradictory because despite Afghanistan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s assurance that “Afghanistan will never allow its soil to be used as a base for anyone to threaten the security of another country” one complication is the fact that Russia officially lists the Taliban as a terrorist group despite inviting them to Wednesday’s talks.
But whatever Russia is doing will not solve its problems unless does the following:-
(1)- Russia should immediately launch a military alliance with teeth (like NATO) of countries from Central Asia, South Asia, China and others who are concerned about militant-Jihadi emanating from Afghanistan may be with name “Alliance Against Religious Terrorism & Excesses” (AARTE).
(2)- Russia should stop looking towards the USA (and even remaining West) because they are racially prejudiced. Russia should forget about the United Nations for taking any effective action on ground to fight religious terrorism and excesses. Moreover Russia should be prepared to enforce the decision, resolution etc of the AARTE even if the UN opposes it. If Russia doesn’t have courage & leadership to rope in the member countries of AARTE for ensuring the AARTE region free from militant-Jihadis then it should be prepared for another even worst (than what the USSR faced in Afghanistan at the end of cold war) defeat at the hands of militant Jihadis.
(3)- The role of China and India (having 2.8 billion people) will be crucial for the success of AARTE. India (constitutionally secular but de-facto communal though mildly) will be hardest nut to crack in this mission due to communal Hindutva forces presently enjoying political power. At the same time Pakistan (where communalism and Islamic radicalization has been rampant and where PM Imran’s utterances and policies encourage militant Jihadis, may be unintentionally ) and Bangladesh (where recently Hindus have been killed and harassed by communal forces) and Iran (which is known for its encouragement of Shia militants) will have to be carefully, intelligently and diplomatically handled by Russia in the interest of making this mission a success.
(4)- This AARTE should have a mechanism with teeth to fight religious terrorism & excesses in Afghanistan and in the member countries of AARTE (i)- By establishing “Commission for Eliminating Religious Terrorism & Excesses” (CERTE) having its branches in AARTE member countries (ii)- The CERTE should file complaint at the human rights commission of the erring member country which will take up the matter with administration / police / judiciary of the erring country for the redressal (iii)- In case the erring country doesn’t address such complaint then the AARTE should intervene militarily to set the things right.
(5)- Decision should be taken in the AARTE on the basis of a formula for voting rights of its members based on their contribution of men (civilian and military), money and material (civilian as well as military) and the record of member country about fighting religious terrorism & excesses.
(6)- Russia should realize that China has become economically and militarily powerful but it is not trying to be the leader of the world (even of a considerable part of the world). Though Russia (rather USSR) failed mainly due to two reasons [namely mistake of adopting exclusive state-capital instead of joint-capital and not deploying (like private-capital) the State-capital profitably in competition] still Russia tried to provide world-leadership through socialism. Hence Russia has the genes of world leadership in its DNA. Therefore Russia should give-up USSR-failure-demoralization rather should provide the leadership of the AARTE.
(7)- Russia should know that non-resolution of some chronic & gory problems have contributed to considerable extent in Jihadi terrorism all across the world (including 9/11, 26/11. Terrorism in Kashmir etc). Hence Russia should try to get these and other following problems solved (through the UN or otherwise) :-
i)- Instead of unjust two-States-solution there should be one-State of Israel-Palestine in which all the displaced Palestinians (including registered refugees) should be allowed to live as citizens.
ii)- Plebiscite should be in united J&K (as mandated by IoA of J&K to India and also by UN resolution) and in Balochistan (who’s IoA was taken by Pakistan under military pressure) after making both these territories free from outsiders.
iii)- The forced & illegal population transfer has thoroughly communalized the Indian region therefore the ‘dual citizenship’ should be granted by India, Pakistan and Bangladesh to about 160 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims who were forcibly & illegally displaced during and after partition of India.
iv)- Forcibly & illegally displaced Rohingyas should be rehabilitated back in Myanmar.

The following article is adapted from a speech that Julian gave to a group of educators at the Make: Education Forum during World Maker Faire New York 2016. Julian will be running in the 2017 school board election for his district.
My name is Julian Waters. I’m currently a senior at Western Albemarle High School in Crozet, Virginia. I’ve lived in Albemarle County for my entire life. In fact, I’ve never even moved houses. I’ve watched as old families have left the neighborhood and new families have come in, attracted by the strength of our school district. It’s the same school district that I grew up in, and the same school district that I’m in now. But Albemarle County’s public school system has changed drastically since I first entered school. As a student in K-5, I grew up in an era that saw us transition from state mandated standardized paper tests, to state mandated standardized computer tests.
Throughout my education, I’ve very clearly seen the ‘standardized’ system that current educational regulations force students into. The same learning environment and the same curriculum for every student must mean the same education experience, right? Wrong. And that’s why we’re all here. There’s no need to talk ad nauseam about why the system isn’t working for every student — we all know it. Instead, the productive conversation is about how schools have and are working to fix this issue. And that, also, is why we’re all here today. That’s why I want to share this story — not just mine, but Albemarle County’s.
Before I go on, let me take a moment to tell you about myself; what I’m interested in. My personal hobby and passion for nearly four years now has been model airplanes and drones. When I’m not in school or working on extracurriculars I’m building, designing, flying, and crashing them. My passion for aviation has led to me to designing my own airplane, driving for twelve hours every year with my dad to visit a week-long flying event in Ohio, and ultimately starting my own club at school. Now it all comes together.
Just two years ago, as a sophomore in high school, I tried to start a drone club. The idea was shot down. Even such a short time ago there were not yet the people in place whose job it was to go out of their way and work with students like me to explore those crazy ideas that broke the mold of the standardized system. Now, two short years later, I stand before you the president of my high school’s Drone and Model Aviation Club, and a student advisor to Albemarle County.
In those two years, what changed? The people. But not just the people — the mindset had changed as well. The set of rules that I had to play by were changed. It’s the administrators and the teachers who can make the biggest direct impact on students, more so than painting the halls a different color or modernizing the furniture. It’s those faculty members who are willing to go the extra mile, who can help students latch onto their crazy idea and fly with it and make it a reality. By introducing mentors and a mentorship mindset into high schools across the district, Albemarle County Public Schools had, intentionally or unintentionally, made the single largest impact on my student career ever.
It’s the principal who will work with a student to build that crazy drone club, or the teacher who challenges kids to follow their passions and their ideas, or the librarian who walks up to students and asks ‘Do you want to make something?’ that helps to foster the kind of creativity and passion-driven student projects that are now becoming a reality across Albemarle County.
And by introducing those sorts of educators and administrators, by introducing this mindset of mentorship into schools, the desires of students are more accurately reflected in the physical learning environment around them. Two years ago, my school had a storage room. Two years later, my school has a makerspace, where students are 3D printing and laser cutting. Two years ago, my school had a faculty lounge. Two years later, my school has a sound studio, where there’s a sound design class and students making their own music. These are the kinds of changes that can stem directly from student voices being heard AND invested in, and by having the right people in place, the right educators, the right administrators, maybe even the right lunch person, it’s so much easier to understand what students are passionate about and how to encourage students to break the mold of standardized education and do something amazing with their ideas. These educators, and these amazing new ideas and mindsets have transformed Albemarle County Public Schools into a school system where anything is possible and where students not only experience education, but help to make it.
So many in our society are quick to criticize the system that public school students learn under, but equally strong in number are those who strive actively to change it. By promoting student voice, self-directed learning, and passion-centered projects in school, we’re making a lasting difference for students in their secondary schooling and well into their future. Together, we can make the education of tomorrow.
Thank you all for investing in the next generation of education; for investing in students. Thank you so much for your time.

The majority of GPs will face a “whopping” 60% rate of income tax on their salary, following after the announcement of the 2012 Budget.
The Association of Independent Specialist Medical Accountants (AISMA) said Chancellor George Osbourne offered “no tax giveaways” in his 2012 Budget speech on Wednesday (21 March).
“Any cuts in what GPs have to pay to HM Revenue and Customs are to be paid for by increases elsewhere,” said AISMA’s Vice Chairman Deborah Wood, who is also head of Healthcare Services at accountant firm Moore and Smalley.
Osbourne announced the tax free personal allowance threshold is to rise to £8,105 for 2012/13 and £9,205 for 2013/14.
But AISMA claim, most GPs “will take a hit”, as their personal allowance “tapers away” when their income exceeds £100,000.
“The marginal rate of income tax in 2012/13 is much higher than many realise,” said Wood.
“Effectively it is a whopping 60% on income between £100,000 and £116,660 for 2012/13 and will not be increased.”
She also said the age-related tax free allowances will “wither on the vine”.
The allowance for individuals aged 65-75 (£10,500) for 2012/13 will remain the same, as will the allowance for those aged 75 and over – currently standing at £10,660.
However, top earning GPs (those earning £150,000 and over) can celebrate a reduction in the top rate of tax – from 50% to 45% from April 2013.

Our company has decided to implement a company uniform policy for all client facing staff. This global policy was decided as a part of an overall global strategy to take our services to the next level.
Well, all of the service staff are okay with this except one--our senior receptionist. We only have two of them, and the senior one is very good at what she does. The other one has only been at it for a couple of months, so she still has a lot to learn. I have been telling the service staff over the past several months that there were thoughts of implementing a uniform policy. I always got a few grumbles out of the receptionists and also told HQ that the receptionist was reluctant to wear uniforms.
Anyway, the decision was finally made, and now I am hearing that the senior receptionist is threatening to quit if she has to wear a uniform. The only reason she can give for not wanting to wear the uniform is that she simply doesn't like wearing uniforms and thinks she dresses appropriately.
I feel like my back is up against the wall on this one. If we lose her, our reception service will surely suffer and I will be hearing it from our local senior management.
In general, my question is...how to deal with employees who have such "power" and threaten to quit when a policy or decision is made that they are not happy about? And in general, what to do about employees who are in such a unique position that they threaten to quit if they are not happy about a decision/policy, and if they follow through on the threat, then overall performance will suffer for a long time?

How to Pay Off Your Student Loans Quickly
Focus on Improving Your Skills of Cash Flow Management
The first place you need to focus on is getting control over the money that you already have coming in. Later on in this article, I am going to recommend for you to increase your income, but before you do that, you need to use the money that is already coming in wisely.
What I mean by that, is learning how to budget and manage your cash flow really well. This is the main area of focus that I work on with my online financial coaching clients is clarity in their finances (where they actually are financially), providing them with a custom plan for their goals and then helping them to implement that plan by focusing on their cash flow management as well as other areas.
I have two articles I’ve written that go a lot deeper into budgeting and cash flow management that you can read here:
A mindset struggle that I often see if people think that they only need to make more money, but that they don’t have to “budget.” Yes making more money is always helpful and I would never tell you not to (please do!), BUT if you are struggling managing what you have now, you are still going to struggle effectively manage a larger amount of money coming in later. So focus on really effectively managing what you do have, even if you feel like it isn’t a lot and focus on what is within your control. Then increase your income and focus on putting those extra dollars to work for you by allocating them as extra money towards your student loan debts you are trying to pay off faster.
Use Your Tax Return on Your Student Loans
If you get a tax return after filing your taxes, use that as “extra” money to put down on your student loans. Don’t use it as your regular payment, use it as extra to put towards them!
Use Cash for Groceries & Eating Out & Put it Towards Your Student Loan
As an online financial coach, I see a lot of the behind the scenes when it comes to individuals and couple’s financial situations and I can tell you that no matter how much someone makes, their skill sets or their profession, everyone can be saving money on groceries and eating out. I have a blog post that I write all about ways to save hundreds a month on groceries, which you can read here, but the number one way to save money on groceries is to use cash!
When you take out cash twice a month, once at the beginning and again in the middle, you are setting the intention of sticking within the allocated amount that you have in cash. This works SO well to help tighten up grocery and eating out budgets! I personally use this in my life (and I used to be a debit card only, never carry cash kind of person) and so do my financial coaching clients. You can easily save $100-$500+ a month from doing this and that is a lot of extra money you can put towards your student loans, from just one area of saving money! I have had clients who have been able to save $500+ a month in groceries alone from working with me!

Increase Your Income to Really Make a Dent in Your Student Loans (side hustle, extra hours, odd jobs)
Now that we’ve talked about managing the money that you already have coming in, the next step to take is to increase the amount of money that you have coming in. There are many different ways that you can do this such as:
- Working extra hours, taking on over time
- Asking for a raise, increase or bonus
- Start a side hustle
- Do odd jobs
Here are some examples of ways to side hustle or take on odd jobs:
- Offer services as a Virtual Assistant (this is by far my favorite way for women to work from home and increase their income, that I have a blog post that goes into depth about how you can actually do this to make more money!
- Teaching fitness classes doing workouts you are passionate about (on your own or for a studio/gym)
- Renting out a room in your home, Airbnb your house or a room in your house
- Repurposing and flipping furniture (I have a friend who did this recently and she made $160 in a week and a half in profits)
- Tutoring, teaching English or a second language, exam prep
- Walking dogs (I know of someone who did this and worked her way up to making $6000+ a month!)
- Help people moving furniture, moving in general
- Teaching a skill you are great at such as music
- Sewing, alterations
- Working retail during the holidays
- Running errands for busy people in your city/area
- Drive for Uber, Uber Eats, Lyft, Instacart
- Teaching others how to make healthy meals (I actually did this on the side when I was still a power engineer)
- Etc, the options are literally endless!!! A great book on this is called Side Hustle, which will give you so many ideas and insight into starting a side hustle that works for you!
This is an incredible way to earn extra money to get your student loans paid off years sooner! The biggest mindset struggle that I see is people feeling like they are “better than a side hustle.” If you want to get your student loans paid off, you need to set your ego aside and increase your income, so I strongly suggest for you to consider taking on or creating a side hustle! It can exponentially decrease the years that you have your debt!
A great book to read to help you learn more about student loans and your repayment options and how you are affected by different choices is Student Loan Solution.
Live Like You Are Still in School
This one is a complete game changer! When you were in school getting the education that you now have, you were probably living a “leaner” life financially than you are now. If you go back to living like you were a student, you will have hundreds+ a month extra that you can use to pay off your debt much quicker! I know it’s not the most exciting thing and you want to feel like you have a lot more extra, but by paying off your debt early, you are saving thousands in interest that you won’t have to pay and you will really free up more money so you can live a more abundant life later! A couple of years of really being focused with your finances, can put your YEARS ahead of what you are on track for right now!

Sleep Issues in 2019? Here’s Your Custom Playbook for Better Sleep in 2020
It’s that time of year again.
With 2020 just around the corner, you’re reflecting on your last 300+ days: the progress you’ve made — and what needs some work — in your relationships, your work, your life.
As you reflect and make your plans, don’t forget to evaluate the most essential element of your wellness: your sleep.
Which brings us to the question: how was your sleep this past year?Choose the response that most applies to you below — and then read through your curated list of our best content from 2019 for better sleep in 2020.
“Insomnia Was My Best Friend”
You’re not the only one.
30% of the population experiences insomnia symptoms to a certain degree — and unfortunately, the effects of this disorder can be devastating.
Sufferers often experience daytime sleepiness, irritability and anxiety. And it gets worse: insomnia has also been known to increase the risk of chronic diseases.
So, before insomnia ruins your 2020, regain control of your sleep with the help of these articles from 2019:
According to the National Sleep Foundation, 90 million Americans snore.
And of those 90 million, 37 million snore regularly. If you’re the one snoring, your sleep may be affected by the act of snoring itself. Or maybe you’re not the one snoring — and you’re losing sleep because your partner snores loudly enough to wake you up.
Whether you or your partner is snoring, you’ll be happy to know that you can put an end to your noisy nights.
Skim through these articles from this year for some of our most useful tips to stop snoring for good:
You may love the excitement of traveling… but it’s likely that your body doesn’t share your enthusiasm.
Because when you step on an airplane and jet off to another time zone, your sleep schedule will 100% be affected.
Travel impacts your body’s circadian rhythm — i.e., the times your body wants to sleep and wake up — which is why you suffer jetlag when you get to your destination (and after you get home).
With the holidays so close and your tickets already booked, it’s a good idea to take preventative measures to protect your sleep while you travel. Check out our most popular travel articles of 2019 to optimize the way you sleep when you travel (and once you’ve got travel sleep down, why not sleep somewhere adventurous?):

Passionate about the green earth for sowing, the smile of the people of other times and the almost forgotten past of the small village of Cheleiros, we have been, in recent years, recovering the heritage of this region.
Thanks to the discovery of an almost extinct grape variety and our investment in its production, what was once at risk of falling into ruin and oblivion is now growing.
If, at first, only 200 Jampal strains survived in the Manz family’s small, one hectare vineyard, and if oenologists only dismissed this bet as a headache, today our project is the proven proof that those who don’t risk, don’t take it.
Being the only producers of Jampal in the world, and not looking for means to produce wines of unique quality and to put Cheleiros back on the map, we want to share with you our project, the charm of our land and welcome you with open bottles in order to provide you with unforgettable memories.
Contact us so that we can present you with the best offer and provide unforgettable experiences to your employees.
MANZWINE The True Essence
If you don’t judge a wine by its bottle, you can’t appreciate a project without knowing its origins.
Even before our presence, this place lived from the fruit of the vine and the work of man, and so Manzwine’s True Essence focuses on demonstrating how to combine historical heritage with the modernity of the new technologies available for winemaking, adding to it our know-how, which you will be able to appreciate by tasting six different wines.
On this sensory journey, you will fully understand the uniqueness of the Jampal grape variety and the diversity of our wines.
More about wines
MANZWINE Grow & Learn
Of wines there are those who understand a lot and those who understand little.
As well as giving you an insight into the history of this ancient town and the history we write every day with our presence in Cheleiros, this experience is designed to give you a deeper understanding of the subtleties that precede the wine you will taste.
Ideal for the more curious, this is a personalised visit that allows the customer to choose the subject that most intrigues them in the great universe of wines.
Gastronomic and wine experience
MANZWINE & Tapas
If good wines accompany good stories, good food accompany this experience.
Bringing together the unique history of Cheleiros with its regional heritage, we pair our wines with a careful selection of the best that Portugal has to offer.
Soak the crusty Mafra bread in the softest Manzwine olive oil and tune in to the uniqueness of our wines, letting yourself be carried away by the creamy and salty aromas of the cheeses and cold meats we offer you in this experience.
Sports and wine experience
Manzwine & Adventure
Designed for the free spirits that enjoy cycling, Manzwine has teamed up with Ericeira Bike to bring you an unforgettable adventure!
Come and cycle along the Lizandro River and enjoy the best that nature has to offer you.
From landscapes to flavours, this is a trip that promises to raise the bar of other wine tourism experiences.
Classic and wine experience
MANZWINE & On The Road
Travel back in time with Manzwine On the Road!
In partnership with Agora Sim, we bring you a unique wine tourism experience, where you can enjoy a private tour in a classic car through the rural routes that connect Ericeira to Cheleiros, ending with a lovely degustation of six premium wines.
Come and enjoy the charms of our region!
On The Way To The Winery
In partnership with Always on Trek, the new Manzwine Experience combines a 7 km walk through idyllic landscapes with a visit to our winery, ending with the tasting of 6 delicious wines and regional products.
A walk through Cheleiros that will make you remember us with a big smile!

|Rachel Beller and Cynthia|
Cynthia comes home from a breast cancer awareness gala exuberantly waving around a glittery pink ribbon, a stalk of celery, and her iPhone.
Cynthia: Look who I finally met, Marcy!
Marcy: Yeah? Who?
Cynthia shoves the iPhone at Marcy.
Cynthia: Rachel Beller!
Marcy: She’s so stylish. Do you think she’d let me be her kitty? Hey! I think I’ve seen her on TV.
Cynthia: You have. On The Biggest Loser, The Rachael Ray Show, and Good Morning America. She also writes for Glamour Magazine and runs the Beller Nutritional Institute here in Los Angeles. Rachel is an incredibly knowledgeable nutritionist whose research and advice have changed the way I eat and think about food.
For example, did you know that instead of mashed potatoes, you can make a cauliflower mash that tastes the same and is much healthier?
Marcy: So that helps you since you’re allergic to potatoes.
Cynthia: More than helps – that was a revelation! And did you know that combining turmeric, black pepper, and garlic powder is a fabulous anti-inflammatory agent, immunity booster, and anti-oxidant?
Marcy: Ah, so that explains why you no longer wake up in the morning looking like you got socked in both eyes with a giant football.
Cynthia: Or that you need 35 grams of fiber a day to scrub your insides out of harmful toxins and cholesterol?
Marcy: Fiber as a scrub brush for your insides?
Cynthia: Yes! That visual alone makes it so much easier for me to remember to get all 35 grams in.
Also, did you have any idea that one 20 ounce vanilla soy latte is the equivalent of eating 12 lollipops?
Marcy: Yeah, well, I’m glad you gave up sugary drinks since you lunge around like a crazed lunatic when you’re all hopped up on sugar.
Cynthia: Sugar makes me homicidal.
Marcy: Wait. Rachel eats? I thought pretty people on TV didn’t eat. Well, except maybe grapes. Or peas. Or the occasional stick of gum.
Cynthia: Oh she eats, Marcy. She may be on TV but she isn’t one of those ridiculous celebrity nutrition hacks who touts crazy fad diets and cleanses.
photo by Teri Lyn Fisher
Marcy: So no all-liquid diets on the agenda?
Cynthia: No. Ugh. You need to eat food for goodness sakes.
Marcy: That’s good. I like gravy on my Friskies but I also like the meaty chunks. What does she say about Friskies, by the way?
Cynthia: That’s a story for another blog post.
Marcy: Uh oh.
*Since January is the month that we all start thinking about health and fitness, I thought I would share Rachel Beller’s book, Eat To Lose, Eat To Win. There are so many crazy theories and fads out there and Rachel’s advice is all based on science and research. She tells it like it is and manages to make the whole process fun and easy to remember. I know I sound like an ad, but her advice truly changed how I eat and ultimately, how I feel. And I feel … great!

10 Ways to Make Your Wedding Day More
Intentional and Meaningful
Your wedding day will be one of the most amazing and meaningful days of your life, and it should of course, reflect who you are as a couple. You want to create a day that is filled with so much love and joy that you and your guests remember forever. In the midst of all the planning and preparation, it can sometimes be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Whether you want to have a small intimate event like an elopement or a huge 500 person wedding, you want to try and remember what the day is really about. It’s about you two and the love you guys share. It’s a day to celebrate your love and commitment to your partner, and to share that joy with your loved ones. Something I think is important for every couple to do is take a step back and consider how you can make your wedding day even more intentional and meaningful for you and your loved ones that you want to share the day with. I’ve put together this guide of 10 ways to make your wedding day more intentional and meaningful. So, whether you’re planning an elopement with just the two of you or a wild party, these tips will help you create a wedding day that is truly unique and meaningful.
Your wedding day is all about you and your partner, so make it personal! You can personalize your vows, incorporate meaningful symbols or objects in the ceremony, or choose music that holds personal significance to you.
Whether it’s the place you first met, a destination that’s close to your heart, long time family church, or a family home, choose a location that’s meaningful to you and your partner. This could be for the ceremony or the reception! Sometimes this may not be possible but if you can choose a meaningful location, it’ll just make the day that much more special for you.
Personalize your wedding vows. Your wedding vows are a chance to express your love and commitment to your partner in your own words. Think about writing your own vows or incorporating some personal touches into your vows that reflect your relationship and the promises you’re making to each other. If that’s a little too much for you, you could always write letters to each other that you can read to each other in private. You could do this during a first look or even some time during your reception so you guys can get a little break and have a moment to yourselves.
Even with the crazy business of the day, don’t forget to take the time to connect with your loved ones. Whether it’s having one on one conversations, sharing memories and stories with your guests, or simply just being present in the moment with the people around you, building those meaningful connections is what makes your wedding day truly special. Especially if you have guests that travel a long way to celebrate with you, take the time to really take that in, appreciate it and connect with those special people in your life. It may be a while before you see everyone in one place like this again.
Incorporating family heirlooms into your wedding day can add a sentimental touch. It can be as simple as wearing your grandmother’s necklace, using parts of your mom’s wedding dress or veil, or using your parents’ wedding cake topper.
Your wedding day isn’t just about you and your partner – it’s also a chance to celebrate your village, the people who have supported you guys along the way. You could try incorporating your people into your wedding day, whether it’s through a big group dance or having loved ones participate in your ceremony somehow.
This one relates to a couple of the other tips but I think it’s good to highlight it on its own too! So, instead of trying to please everyone or having a huge guest list for your wedding, focus on creating an intimate and meaningful experience for yourself and your loved ones. Try prioritizing the quality of who you are inviting over quantity. Not only will this help make your day more intentional because you will have only the most special people in your life there but it will also help keep the cost down if that is important to you. You don’t have to invite every single family member. You don’t have to invite all of your high school and college friends. Think carefully about the people who you truly want to share this day with and try to just invite those people. This is of course especially important when eloping as you’ll only have a small handful of people there with you. This is usually immediate family members and just your absolute closest friends. Don’t over think it. The people that come to mind first are probably the ones that you want to invite. Prioritize the moments and connections that really matter, and let go of the rest.
Make your wedding unforgettable with some kind of non-traditional entertainment like a live painter, fire dancers, or a surprise performance by a family member or friend who has a special talent. If you (bride or groom) have a skill like great vocals or are talented at playing the guitar, maybe add a special song in during the wedding ceremony or the reception. This would be a huge hit with not only your partner but also your guests!
Incorporating your favorite foods in to your wedding day is a great way to make it for meaningful for you two. After all this is YOUR day, you should have food that you actually like there! This goes for not only the dinner at your reception but everything you will eat the whole day! Don’t forget to plan what you will be eating for breakfast and lunch too as well as any snacks, treats, or drinks you may want! If you love McDonalds- order some for breakfast so you can eat that while you get ready in the morning! Order your favorite coffee or make your favorite mimosas! Get donuts to eat throughout the day. Have a farm to table meal for your reception dinner! (Check out these guys for that! )
Have a couple food trucks that serve each of your favorite foods! Want burgers? Get a Swenson’s Food Truck! Do you love burritos? Get a Barrio Food Truck! If you don’t like cake, have a dessert table with your favorite desserts! Don’t want to do a huge wedding cake? Just have a small one for you two to cut and share and have another treat for guests like cupcakes, cookies or donuts. Will it be warm outside during your reception? Have a s’mores bar! There are so many options for food on your wedding day, you definitely can be super intentional with the food you choose for your special day. Eat what you want!
With all the joy and excitement, it’s so important to take a moment to reflect on the significance of the day and express gratitude for the love and support of your partner and community. The day will go by SO fast. I know it seems like you’re spending so so much time planning your wedding and getting everything ready but when the day actually comes, it will fly by and be over before you know it. Soak it all in and remember that the magic of the day is something that will stay with you forever. One way to do this is to have your officiant mention taking a moment during the ceremony to take in all your guests and appreciate them all coming out to support you. I always think this is such a powerful time during a ceremony. Another way to do this is to take some time to be alone with your partner. Having a first look is a great way to have a few very special minutes between just the two of you (and your photographer/ videographer of course 😉). Another way I love for couples to have an intimate minute with just the two of them is right after the ceremony. You both will be feeling this epic high from finally being married!! AHH! It’s just an exciting time and even better when you get a few minutes to really soak it in together! My last option is to take 10-15 minutes to be alone with your partner at some point during the reception. It’s been a looong day up until this point and you probably having even had the chance to talk to yourselves much or at all. Take 10 minutes, grab a drink and snack and take a walk outside and just enjoy each other.

Divide the dough into two equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface or pastry cloth, shape each half of the dough into a 14 x 1-3/4 x 1-inch log. Transfer to a baking sheet and pat down the tops of each log to a height of 3/4 inch.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until the logs are firm and a clean toothpick inserted into the dough comes out clean. Transfer logs to a cutting board and cool for 10 minutes.
- With a serrated knife, cut the logs diagonally into 1/4 inch slices.
- Arrange the cut slices on the cookie sheet in a single layer. Lower the temperature to 300 degrees F. Bake the cookies for 20 minutes, turning once.
- Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack and completely cool. The biscotti will get crisp as they cool.

For a young family, there’s no better holiday than one that allows adults’ and kids’ imaginations to run wild. Heading out into the country where little ones can spot animals that look just like their favourite fairytale characters, explore magical-looking woods and gaze at the stars is, in my opinion, just the thing.
And as an added bonus, the UK is the perfect destination for this, so doing so needn’t cost the earth. If you can, pick a beautiful countryside cottage to stay in (you can see some examples here) – this will give you plenty of space and help get the kids into countryside mode. The more scenic the location with plenty of woodland, parks or other green spaces nearby, the better. It’s also worth remembering you can find pet-friendly cottages too, which means you really can bring the whole family.
To give you an idea of how to create the ideal family break, I’ve put together some examples based on a trip to Devon. Obviously there’s a huge amount of other options in the UK, so remember to be open to possibilities when booking your holiday.
Roam in the great outdoors
If there’s one thing all kids love to do, it’s explore. Devon has some wonderful woodland areas where your little ones can play at having adventures like the children and animals from their favourite stories. Lovers of classic kids’ books can pretend they’re following in the footsteps of Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh, while little film fans will no doubt relish feeling like entering the world of animated screen stars like Shrek and Donkey.
The stunning Exmoor National Park is the perfect place to pick, because there is just so much to explore here. Plus, there are plenty of trails to follow, while you can also amp up the level of adventure by organising horse riding trips or bike rides for you and your family. Remember, anything you do that’s that little bit different is bound to stick in your children’s memories all the more.
Few children don’t find staying up late exciting – just think of all those Christmases and New Year’s Eves where you were allowed to miss your bedtime by a mile. While you might not want to do this all the time while you’re on holiday, spending an evening stargazing together is definitely worthwhile – especially if you’re on holiday in Devon.
You see, the aforementioned Exmoor National Park is home to some of the darkest skies in the UK. In fact, it’s actually an International Dark Sky Reserve – the first place in Europe to achieve this status. Places like the charmingly named Wimbleball Lake, Holdstone Hill and Webbers Post are among the best spots for stargazing. Just remember to pack lots of blankets and a thermos full of hot chocolate!
No family holiday is really complete without seeing fun animals and natural wonders. Perhaps one of the best places to do so in Devon is Becky Falls, an attraction that’s nestled in a spectacular ancient valley.
It is, in fact, one of the region’s top beauty spots, and has the added bonus of offering a huge array of children’s attractions at weekends and during school holidays. For instance, you can see cuddly creatures like rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, while daring little ones can have close-up encounters with leathery lizards, slithering snakes and even hairy tarantulas!

A recent report from international asset management company Lazard shows that several renewable energy technologies can easily compete against conventional generation methods in terms of cost with or without government subsidies. Lazard’s study revealed that both wind and solar generation could hold their own against conventional gas peaking, nuclear power, coal power plants, and gas combined-cycle facilities.
At present, the cost of many renewable energy technologies has been going down throughout the world, if somewhat slowly. This drop is attributed to significant reductions in capital costs, increased competition as new players are emerging in the clean energy sector as it gains sway in various countries, and ongoing developments with regard to technological efficiency and scale.
While government subsidies for renewable energy are available, these are not that common. Nevertheless, the industry continues to rally, but experts say that a subsidy may put clean energy providers on a more equal footing with conventional generation players.
Indeed, the Lazard report states: “When U.S. government subsidies are included, the cost of onshore wind and utility-scale solar continues to be competitive with the marginal cost of coal, nuclear and combined cycle gas generation.”
If subsidized, the levelized cost of energy (LCEO) for utility-scale solar facilities can generate $27 per megawatt hour (Mwh) while wind power on a similar scale can average $25/Mwh. When it comes to conventional methods, coal generates an average of $42/Mwh, nuclear at $25/Mwh, and combined gas cycle generation at $24/Mwh.
Renewable energy faces challenges on a global level
Meanwhile, it is possible that worsening supply chain conditions may delay or even cancel over 50% of solar utility projects planned for 2022 in various parts of the world.
According to an analysis done by Norwegian power think-tank Rystad Energy, 56% of initiatives expected to generate 90 gigawatts of solar capacity may be hampered by the rising cost of commodities as well as supply chain bottlenecks. In fact, the average cost for solar PV modules has risen from just under $0.20 per watt peak (wp) last year to play between $0.26 and $0.28 in the third quarter of 2021, a jump of around 50% in a relatively short amount of time.
This surge in the cost of these modules is mostly driven by the 300% rise in polysilicon prices and those of other raw materials throughout 2020 and the first half of 2021.
Rystad’s senior renewables analyst David Dixon opines that the global utility solar sector now faces some high hurdles even as the UN’s COP26 climate change summit is currently underway in Glasgow, scotland.
“The current bottlenecks are not expected to be relieved within the next twelve months,” Dixon said. “[This means] developers and off-takers need to decide whether to reduce their margins, delay projects or increase offtake prices to get projects to financial close.”

Direct-To-Consumer Advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs is back in the headlines after Robert F. Kennedy Jr made an election promise to ban it.
Abolish the FDA. After 100 years of politicians promising to do better, this is what we have.
It's not going to get better.
Insurance companies can evaluate drugs. They already crash-test cars.
I do love listening to the laundry list of side-effects of these drugs!
Ban Covid19 and other Jab advertising Now!
DTCA does not lead to massive sales increases, but it does lead to media capture by Big Pharma.
So many great comments and info in this thread. My final take away is: Our country is full of citizens who are clueless. They don't understand the Constitution and they don't realize how corrupt our government really is. The ABC departments (FDA CDC NIH HHS CIA FBI etc) are all out of control and need dismantled and replaced. I fear it will never happen because our government schools are teaching our children what and how to think. If we can't get our citizens properly educated, and actively involved, we're doomed.
Yeas ago it became forbidden in Australia for pharmaceutical companies to provide doctors with pens, writing pads, etc, as these were seen to be "inducements" to prescribe.
How is it that the 96% of the TGA's funding which is derived from the pharmaceutical industry, as documented by you in the BMJ, is not considered an inducement, as well as direct marketing to consumers, which occurs surreptitiously in Australia despite being officially prohibited.
Additionally, direct lobbying to the media, politicians, shareholdings in social media, all ensure that no marketing opportunity is missed.
Definitely. China did it 20 years ago.
It not legal here in Mexico and it’s enjoyable to not see those hundreds of ads!
I can see why banning pharmaceutical ads would be controversial. I wonder, are there any other advertisements that are banned, or would this be the first time in the US a private company is not allowed to advertise their product?
My philosophy is, if there is an ad on anything on TV, then it is muted and presumed to ‘lies, lies and more damned lies’.
I have to say I'm conflicted on this:
1. On the one hand, I want to say "No, I don't think it's time to ban DTCA in America, I think it's WAY PAST TIME to ban DTCA!!! No, wait, actually we should NEVER have allowed it in the first place!!!"
2. On the other hand, in the last few years we have seen what can happen when one side of any issue controls the narrative by "banning" things that are not beneficial to THEM. Think "books", just for starters.
I don't have a solution, but I have a suggestion to consider. One thing we know about business, particularly Big Business (and especially Big Pharma), is that money matters. They will tell you anything they think you want to hear, but they won't actually DO anything unless it costs them money in expenses, or reduces income from sales. We must find a way to improve the legal system to allow consumers to easily and successfully sue companies for damages when people are injured or killed by drugs. Today there are so many roadblocks such as states setting a time limit that you can file a claim. If companies paid more in damages for drugs that injure and kill, they will, at best, stop making the drug, or at least raise the price due to litigation expenses enough that fewer people will buy the drug.
Just a thought.
Close to the top of my pet peeve list!!!!
I was in pharma when DTC was being pushed. I'd worked with the FDA regularly in those years. It was corrupt THEN. When I realized that, on top of DTC, they were going to approve a Fentanyl patch and lollipop, a drug whose dangers I knew well as an anesthetic -- anesthesiologists essentially kill you with it then bring you back to life -- TSF -- I had to get out.
The FDA is a front org for pharma. It cannot be reformed. Everyone who's been a part of it the past three years needs to be in jail for genocide. The DOD owns the contracts of these jabs which are legally considered "countermeasures" -- aka bioweapons. The FDA provided a public charade of un"scientific" cover by giving their "authorizations" when they had literally no role in the roll out of these jabs other than manipulation of the public.
Kennedy is aiming WAY off the target with a mere "revolving door" "reform." The public needs to know the WHOLE TRUTH or his campaign is worse than pointless. It's providing cover for genocidal war crimes that are still ongoing, aided by this agency.
SO LONG OVERDUE. In fact, we need to blow up these big pharma companies in Pfizer, Moderna, J&J and any peddling death drugs, being FDA approved through faulty and misleading (profit driven) "science". We need to arrest Bourla and the rest of the big pharma CEO's behind the biggest medical democide in human history...repurposing their wealth to fight the WEF...and HANG THE mRNA JAB PROMOTING CEO'S LIVE ON PPV.
If you haven't already...ummm, I think you're going to want to watch this one.
Dr. David Martin Exposes Timeline of The Biggest Democide in Recorded History; "COVID-19 Was An Act of biological warfare".
- EU Parliament, Covid Summit in Brussels, Belgium - May 2023
Dr. David Martin's Presentation Sure Explains Fauci's Claims Back in 2017!!
Operation Warp Speed? Pfizer patented the spike protein for a coronavirus vaccine over 30 years ago!
While I absolutely consider advertising toxic drugs to be a terrible thing. I also support freedom. Which means a company should be free to advertise it's products (even when they kill people). It's up to people to stop believing advertising.
Yes, ban big pharma from TV. Then go the extra mile and rescind the 1986 vaccine laws. Otherwise, we are going to be slaves to big pharma until they murder us all.

Labor – A Poem By Silas H. ShepherdMasonic Supplies
Silas H. Shepherd
He who acts upon the Square
Will always well with all compare.
The Mason uses tools of love
To build a Temple planned above.
The Gauge he constantly employs
To measure work and limit joys.
The Plumb imbues his soul and heart
With love Divine and sacred art.
The Level guides his daily act
And makes good fellowship a fact.
If we employ these tools each day
A beautiful Temple will be our pay.

Honorary degrees were given to Taraji P. Henson and Angela Bassett.
Taraji P. Henson, was the center of attention at Howard University, a historically black college in Washington, D.C., on Saturday May 7. The 51-year-old award-winning actress served as the commencement speaker for her alma mater, from which she graduated in 1995. Just moments before her moving speech, she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
Henson talked openly about ignoring negative feelings and using them as fuel for the journey ahead in her remarks. Before applause from the class of 2022, Henson said, “Find your bigger picture, bet on yourself, and let your peers’ success be your fuel, not your distraction.”

Angela Bassett, an Academy Award nominee, was also one of the commencement speakers at Old Dominion University in Virginia last weekend, where she was also honored with an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
The 63-year-old actress expressed her gratitude for the honor on Instagram, posting a photo of herself holding the certificate and writing, “Education is truly the KEY!” #stillmakingmymommaproud.”
Among those also in attendance at the graduation ceremony at Howard University was the famous actor and comedian, Anthony Anderson. He received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and according to him, It was a dream come true; a dream that was 30 years in the making.
The 51-year-old took to Instagram to talk about his degree and express his heartfelt gratitude and joy.

Press Releases - April 24, 2015
With Apple Watch Release, MBLM Highlights Its Brand Intimacy Study Ranking Apple As Most Intimate Brand
MBLM, the Brand Intimacy Agency focused on strategy, design, creative and technology, defines brand intimacy as an essential relationship between a person and a brand, that when achieved has been proven to result in improved business performance and lasting value. Apple Watch, described by Apple itself as its “most intimate device,” epitomizes this new paradigm.
MBLM’s annual flagship Brand Intimacy Study, which examines how to create, sustain and measure ultimate brand relationships, in 2014 ranked Apple as the gold standard in brand intimacy and 10 times more intimate than the number two ranked brands. Additionally, with the release of the Apple Watch, MBLM expects Apple to further its lead as the world’s most intimate brand.
“Our company was founded on the promise that personal devices such as the Apple Watch, will usher in an era of pervasive, integrated and intimate technology,” says Mario Natarelli, MBLM’s managing partner. “We look forward to seeing the impact of such innovative technologies on companies and the way they approach marketing in general. We strongly believe that brand intimacy is about to enter its next phase of evolution.”
To further MBLM’s commitment towards understanding brand intimacy, the company is launching Dearly in May 2015, an Apple Watch app enabling users to remain in constant touch with loved ones near and far, as well as fielding an ethnographic study of real users of Apple Watch. MBLM will also launch its next Brand Intimacy Study in September 2015. To download the 2014 Brand Intimacy Study visit this link.

The Difference Between A Lawyer And Attorney
A lot of people use the words lawyer and attorneys interchangeably. This, however, is a layman’s mistake because the two cannot mean one and the same thing according to the law. If you have a personal injury case in Indiana and are looking for legal representation, it’s important to know the difference between the two so you don’t have your time wasted.
Who is a Lawyer?
A lawyer is anyone who has gone to school to study the law. This can be a paralegal, assistant or any other person who is a legal consultant and is regularly sought out by clients to give out timely legal advice. That being said, these individuals cannot represent you in a court of law. To do that, they must take the bar exam in the state they would like to practice in in order to plead your case in front of your judge.
Who is an Attorney?
Before we get into this, it is important to note that an attorney is also a lawyer, but a lawyer can’t be an attorney. This is because these individuals have actually taken the difficult bar exam to be able to represent clients in court. In addition, they tend to have a few years of experience under the belt, making it hard for a fresh-out-of-law school individual to be an attorney.
Another term that is usually bandied around is Esquire. In the UK, this title is given to distinguished members of the legal profession who may have pursued a PhD in the law and done a lot for their community in terms of representation. In the U.S., this term is catching on and is often used by attorneys.
One way to verify that a legal professional is who they say they are is to ask them for their state number. This will give you information on whether or not they’ve taken and passed the state exam.

One year ago today, I was checking into the hospital. I was nervous and excited and READY.
Today, you’re trying to walk, and getting better at verbally communicating, and you totally run the show around here. You just keep getting more amazing. I am nervous and excited and READY for what life brings us.
Sweet Dorothy Jane, I never wanted a little girl. I admit it! I was terrified of little girls. You, my darling one, have completed my life. I am proud of you in a new way every single morning. I had no idea that a baby could be a friend, and you are. You’re my sweetheart and my friend, and I can’t wait to get to know you better.
Blogstalkers — I tried to write a long blog, with my feelings and reflections on this year. I just can’t. Everything sounds trite, and I can’t really convey how appreciative I am for the opportunity to have worked from home during Dot’s babyhood. This was a tremendous blessing from God, and I am so grateful that life has brought me to this exact place.
To celebrate this big milestone, I picked out my favorite pictures from Dorothy’s monthly portrait sessions… and also a few that are just life. I love that I have this collection, and we’re totally making an album that I hope she appreciates someday.
We start with the very first picture ever taken of my baby girl. This is one of my most treasured possessions. To have this image captured, of her very first breath… I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
You put your newborn in the grass?!?!?! Yes. Absolutely. And she lived!
At One Month :
Sticking out her tongue at Two Months :
Being completely stylish at Three Months :
Playing in the mud at Four Months :
A beach baby at Five Months :
One of my very favorites of the year… the look of wonder in her eyes here at the Texas State Aquarium :
Gumming on apples at Six Months :
At Seven Months :
At Christmas time, Eight Months :
Telling us she’s “So Big” at Nine Months :
Naked baby at Ten Months :
The smolder with Gertie at Eleven Months :
And then, just a few days ago, it was time for Dorothy’s First Birthday Pictures!
One of the shots I knew I wanted was the classic, 1 Year Old “Smash Cake”. We don’t have a studio, but I have a light kit that I use for boudoir, so we set that up quick-style. Let me tell you… I’m glad now that we didn’t plan a whole day around taking Dorothy someplace fancy for these smashing cake pictures. Girlfriend was NOT having it. It was a screamy mess, but hey… that’s life! I’ll be able to tell her in a few years that she was too prissy to bother with her birthday cupcake. 🙂
Here are a few wailing shots:
Even when her Daddy was holding her, she wanted NOTHING to do with that cake!
Luckily, Dot’s anxiety seems completely cake-directed. When we did the other set of birthday pictures, the ones that are supposed to show off how much she’s changed, she was all smiles and squeals.
So, now we know… Dorothy isn’t down with a mess, but she’s all for playing supermodel!
You are so beautiful, my dear, in your face and in your sweet spirit!
Happy Birthday, Dorothy. We’re so honored to have you as a part of our family… you definitely bring the sass!
Blogstalkers — that’s it! We’ve officially documented every month of Dorothy’s first year. Several of you have lamented both here and on Facebook about the monthly posts being gone, and it’s true… I won’t be doing this monthly anymore. But I’ll still post pictures of the kids from time to time. Cross my heart. They’re too cute not to plaster their grinning mugs all over the internet!
I appreciate all the birthday wishes for Dorothy… you guys are really amazing! We’re going to print this out and put it in the back of the birthday album we’re making for her, so she’ll always know what a celebrity she was as a tiny tot. 🙂

Sharpie or Coop? Ah, the age-old question: Is this bird a Sharpie or a Coop — a Sharp-shinned Hawk or a Cooper’s Hawk? The bird was seen perched briefly near the banding station off Disposal Road late last month. Seemed like a Sharpie to us. What do you think? Please leave a comment.

February 09 2023 – Jamie Blahun
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For as long as I can remember I lived with a deep fear of what would happen to me if my mother died. As I grew older that fear definitely diminished and a sort of peaceful acceptance took its place.
Maybe partly due to maturity as well as strength I gained from my own healing journey but whatever it was I grew out of my panic phase and into a more realistic view of life and death.
Maybe you have had a similar journey. Similar feelings.
But when the day came, one day before my 60th birthday, I found myself far less prepared than I thought I would be.
As I sit here now, 22 days later, I am realizing that there are just some things in life we cannot prepare for. We must simply love who we love with all the love afforded us and in the end accept grief as a beautiful testament to that love.
These past few days have felt like grief AND love have been my enemy as I cannot seem to focus or find even the smallest ounce of joy. I find myself in a constant state of waffling between “ok” and weeping from the depths of my soul and back to “ok” again, barely keeping it together.
It is my tendency to ‘buck up’ in life, to put on big girl panties and carry on so I have found this grieving process not only tiring but also annoying in some odd way.
I decided that maybe writing would help me sort through some of these emotions or at least give voice to them. I have always been a person that has to get things out. Although even that right now feels hard for me. I prefer to hideaway in my house alone. Talking to no one. That is also a tendency of mine when I’m hurting. Like, do not come near me! But here I am, googling “how long does grief last” like there’s a one size fits all answer - but there isn’t.
And so I went to scripture to find a verse I could hang on to and psalm 73:26 stood out to me. It’s ok to hurt. It’s ok to grieve loss. As a matter of fact it’s very very human. And even divine.
It doesn’t mean I’m not thankful for all that I have like I also was thinking. Like why am I sad look at all I have- and I do! I am so blessed! But that does not mean that my mom didn’t fill a place in my heart only she could and now that place feels empty because it does. My heart is also filled with many things that I am so grateful for but for now at least, that hole is new and fresh and empty. And I am feeling it big time.
Will the clouds part and the sun come out again? Absolutely! I know it will. It always does. Would my mom want me to be sad?
She would understand.
She would soooo understand. Mom was never afraid of real emotions. That’s one of the incredible gifts she gave me. “Don’t hide from your feelings, they’re just feelings so feel them” she would say. She would hug me as I cry and tell me it’s all going to be ok but it’s also ok to cry.
And it is.
I just had to write because I think most of us are afraid of grief. Afraid it will swallow us up if we allow ourselves to be ok with it or don’t try to fix it or hurry it along. At least that was my fear. Like what if my joy doesn’t return? But it will. Joy will always return if we do not run from the sadness, allow ourselves to feel it, cry it out. I guess it just took me by surprise for some strange reason. Surprise at how loss can make you feel like somebody else moved into your body for a while. So that’s where I’m at for today. It’s made me slow down, ponder, feel, and walk (not run) through it.
And just as the psalmist spoke, I too bear witness that no matter how my flesh and my heart fail- the LORD will be my strength through it all. Rest in Peace mom. I will love you forever and ever and I WILL see you again…Xx

On January 7, the 2017 Mechanical Mayhem team excitedly piled into a crowded basement, awaiting the unveiling of the 2017 FIRST STEAMWORKS game!
Robots climb up dangling ropes!?! 600 game pieces and 16 moving parts!?! Human Players are allowed on-field DURING the match!?!?!
As the team got right to work strategizing, analyzing, and discussing the new game, a delegation of students toured a live field at the FIRST Live Kickoff in Manchester, NH. Measuring field elements, talking with game designers, and assessing field visibility, this delegation began beaming with ideas — thereby blending right in upon arriving back at Mayhem Central!
This year is host to some interesting rules. The robot volume may not exceed 12 cubic feet, and the robot may never extend beyond its bumpers. Additionally, teams are encouraged to bring a custom rope to the playing field — one that complements a robot’s climbing mechanism.
Mayhem welcomes ten rookie students this year! It’s encouraging to see the varied interests among the new recruits. If their performance in safety/shop training, CAD workshops, and kickoff day reflects their abilities, then these new students will accomplish amazing things in the future! These rookies will sustain the team in years to come, and so the older veterans are naturally eager to bring them up to speed on all that goes into a well-run FRC season.
The team is scheduled to compete in the following tournaments: Week Zero Scrimmage (February 18, Nashua, NH), WPI District Event (March 8-10, Worcester, MA), and Pine Tree District Event (March 30 – April 1, Lewiston, ME). If the team is fortunate enough to qualify, it will compete in the New England District Championship (April 5-8, Durham, NH) and the World Championship (April 26-29, St. Louis, MO).
Beat the pack! Be one of our first sponsors for the 2017 season! Mechanical Mayhem FIRST Robotics team is changing lives by exposing high schoolers to the wonders of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). But wait: donate now and we’ll double the offer! You’ll support TWO life-changing programs (Mechanical Mayhem AND Mindstorms Mayhem) with just one donation! Your generosity is sincerely appreciated (no joke).

Accelerated Option 1 Tab Basic Content
Option 1: Three-Year MD Accelerated Pathways
Penn State College of Medicine has a portfolio of 3+ pathways that allow students to select a concentration of study that will enhance/accelerate their professional development. Penn State College of Medicine is a member of the national Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathway Programs (CAMPP), initially funded by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.
The three-year MD Accelerated Pathways provide students the opportunity to complete medical school in three years with directed pathway into one of Penn State's residency programs, pending successful completion of their medical school training. Upon meeting the academic and professional standards for graduation from medical school, students are ranked to match into a Penn State Health residency program through the National Resident Matching Program®. Should students choose to rank Penn State, they would be positioned to match at Penn State College of Medicine for residency.
Penn State's accelerated MD Program is unique in that its pathways are designed to optimize the UME-GME continuum and allow students who already know their career path to progress into one of these specialties: diagnostic radiology, emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, orthopaedics, pathology and urology. There are also accelerated pathways that are designed to accommodate the timelines for MD/PhD students in dermatology, neurosurgery and otolaryngology.
The benefits of the accelerated options include reduction of medical education costs and earlier career entry. The linkage of undergraduate and graduate medical education optimizes opportunities for continuity of patient care, mentoring and advising.

September 23, 2020 – Montreal – National Film Board of Canada
Following its March world premiere online at the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA), the documentary short Open Sky: Portrait of a Pavilion in Venice, directed by Katerine Giguère, will be available for viewing free online at NFB.ca starting on October 5, to mark World Architecture Day. The film invites you to the famous Venice Biennale to discover the Canadian Pavilion, designed by Milan’s renowned Studio BBPR, and restored, together with its surrounding gardens, by the National Gallery of Canada on the occasion of the building’s 60th anniversary in 2018. This elegantly crafted short film, like the pavilion it celebrates, is intimate and made on a human scale. The building, too little known to the Canadian public, is an architectural jewel and an exceptional world showcase for the country and contemporary Canadian artists. This film provides a unique opportunity for viewers to discover its beauty and its history.
The filmmaker Katerine Giguère was both director and cinematographer of the project, and with her warm, sensuous approach, she creates an inviting portrait of the building, one of 29 pavilions in the Venice Biennale Gardens. She skillfully intermingles more than 120 archival images, a dozen interviews with experts in various fields, and recent documentary footage revealing the innovative design of the building, its grace and elegance, and its profound relationship with the natural surroundings. The film is an hommage to a special architectural achievement, bathed in light and open to the sky.
Experts discuss the pavilion
The experts interviewed for the film in Canada and Italy offer accounts of their personal connections with the pavilion and its gardens. Among them are Réjean Legault, professor at the École de design at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM); Karen Colby-Stothart, chief executive officer of the National Gallery of Canada Foundation (2013–2019); Josée Drouin-Brisebois, senior curator of contemporary art at the National Gallery of Canada; Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, landscape architect; Paolo Baratta, president of the Venice Biennale (2008–2020); and Alberico Belgiojoso, architect and heir to the Studio BBPR.
More events for World Architecture Day
Open Sky: Portrait of a Pavilion in Venice will be screened online by more than 20 Canadian missions abroad in honour of World Architecture Day and also UN World Habitat Day.
A special selection on architecture will also be launched on NFB.ca on October 5.
The back story: From inauguration to restoration
City Out of Time, by Colin Low, was produced by the National Film Board at the time of the Canada Pavilion’s inauguration at the 1958 Venice Biennale. Now, to mark the restoration of the building on its 60th anniversary, the NFB has once again collaborated with the National Gallery to make Open Sky: Portrait of a Pavilion in Venice; the director has included evocative images from Colin Low’s work. The documentary is an appreciation of one of the rare public spaces celebrating Canadian culture abroad.
About the filmmaker
Katerine Giguère has been putting her many talents—as a director, producer, cinematographer and photographer—to good use for more than 20 years. Open Sky: Portrait of a Pavilion in Venice marks her third outing as a director. Seeds of Hope, her debut, won the Audience Award and Best Newcomer Award at the 2006 Portneuf Environmental Film Festival. Besides contributing to the creative development of Les Productions du Rapide-Blanc, she’s been a cinematographer on more than 100 projects that have taken her all over the planet, including acclaimed productions such as Anticosti: The Hunt for Extreme Oil, Earth Keepers and, more recently, Humain+, My Mother’s Letters and My Daughter Is Not for Sale. This multifaceted artist, daughter of two major figures in Quebec documentary cinema, Sylvie Van Brabant and Serge Giguère, has expressed herself in a variety of forms, but it was through her work in documentary that she discovered her passion for direct cinema.
Open Sky: Portrait of a Pavilion in Venice by Katerine Giguère (25 minutes) is produced by André Picard for the NFB in partnership with the National Gallery of Canada and the National Gallery of Canada Foundation. With editing by Annie Leclair and music by Pierre-Philippe Côté and Steven Doman.

GLIMEPIRIDE- glimepiride tablet
Lake Erie Medical DBA Quality Care Products LLC
Glimepiride tablets, USP are indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1)].
Glimepiride tablets, USP should not be used for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis, as it would not be effective in these settings.
Glimepiride tablets should be administered with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
The recommended starting dose of glimepiride tablet is 1 mg or 2 mg once daily. Patients at increased risk for hypoglycemia (e.g., the elderly or patients with renal impairment) should be started on 1 mg once daily [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5, 8.6)].
After reaching a daily dose of 2 mg, further dose increases can be made in increments of 1 mg or 2 mg based upon the patient’s glycemic response. Uptitration should not occur more frequently than every 1 to 2 weeks. A conservative titration scheme is recommended for patients at increased risk for hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1) and Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5, 8.6)].
The maximum recommended dose is 8 mg once daily.
Patients being transferred to glimepiride from longer half-life sulfonylureas (e.g., chlorpropamide) may have overlapping drug effect for 1 to 2 weeks and should be appropriately monitored for hypoglycemia.
When colesevelam is coadministered with glimepiride, maximum plasma concentration and total exposure to glimepiride is reduced. Therefore, glimepiride should be administered at least 4 hours prior to colesevelam.
Glimepiride tablets, USP are formulated as tablets of:
- 1 mg tablets (pink coloured, oval shaped, biconvex, uncoated tablets debossed with ‘AHI 1’ on one side and break line on the other)
- 2 mg tablets (green coloured, oval shaped, biconvex, uncoated tablets debossed with ‘AHI 2’ on one side and break line on the other)
- 4 mg tablets (blue coloured, oval shaped, biconvex, uncoated tablets debossed with ‘AHI 4’ on one side and break line on the other)
Glimepiride tablet is contraindicated in patients with a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to:
- Glimepiride or any of the product’s ingredients [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2)].
Sulfonamide derivatives: Patients who have developed an allergic reaction to sulfonamide derivatives may develop an allergic reaction to glimepiride. Do not use glimepiride in patients who have a history of an allergic reaction to sulfonamide derivatives.
Reported hypersensitivity reactions include cutaneous eruptions with or without pruritus as well as more serious reactions (e.g. anaphylaxis, angioedema, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, dyspnea) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2)].
All sulfonylureas, including glimepiride, can cause severe hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1)]. The patient’s ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. These impairments may present a risk in situations where these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating other machinery. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to unconsciousness or convulsions and may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or death.
Patients must be educated to recognize and manage hypoglycemia. Use caution when initiating and increasing glimepiride doses in patients who may be predisposed to hypoglycemia (e.g., the elderly, patients with renal impairment, patients on other anti- diabetic medications). Debilitated or malnourished patients, and those with adrenal, pituitary, or hepatic impairment are particularly susceptible to the hypoglycemic action of glucose-lowering medications. Hypoglycemia is also more likely to occur when caloric intake is deficient, after severe or prolonged exercise, or when alcohol is ingested.
Early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia may be different or less pronounced in patients with autonomic neuropathy, the elderly, and in patients who are taking beta-adrenergic blocking medications or other sympatholytic agents. These situations may result in severe hypoglycemia before the patient is aware of the hypoglycemia.
There have been postmarketing reports of hypersensitivity reactions in patients treated with glimepiride, including serious reactions such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, and Stevens- Johnson Syndrome. If a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected, promptly discontinue glimepiride, assess for other potential causes for the reaction, and institute alternative treatment for diabetes.
Sulfonylureas can cause hemolytic anemia in patients with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Because glimepiride is a sulfonylurea, use caution in patients with G6PD deficiency and consider the use of a non-sulfonylurea alternative. There are also postmarketing reports of hemolytic anemia in patients receiving glimepiride who did not have known G6PD deficiency [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2)].
The administration of oral hypoglycemic drugs has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality as compared to treatment with diet alone or diet plus insulin. This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term, prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The study involved 823 patients who were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups UGDP reported that patients treated for 5 to 8 years with diet plus a fixed dose of tolbutamide (1.5 grams per day) had a rate of cardiovascular mortality approximately 2-1/2 times that of patients treated with diet alone. A significant increase in total mortality was not observed, but the use of tolbutamide was discontinued based on the increase in cardiovascular mortality, thus limiting the opportunity for the study to show an increase in overall mortality. Despite controversy regarding the interpretation of these results, the findings of the UGDP study provide an adequate basis for this warning. The patient should be informed of the potential risks and advantages of glimepiride and of alternative modes of therapy.
Although only one drug in the sulfonylurea class (tolbutamide) was included in this study, it is prudent from a safety standpoint to consider that this warning may also apply to other oral hypoglycemic drugs in this class, in view of their close similarities in mode of action and chemical structure.
There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with glimepiride or any other anti-diabetic drug.
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in more detail below and elsewhere in the labeling:
- Hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1) ]
- Hemolytic anemia [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3) ]
In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions with glimepiride were hypoglycemia, dizziness, asthenia, headache, and nausea.

The event industry is in the most precarious position it has ever seen, and the future is shrouded in uncertainty. The outlook for events will depend on a number of factors: resurgences of the virus, medical advances, restrictions on travel, the economy at large…
But the industry will persevere. Event planners are a resourceful breed with a strong sense of community fortified by various networks of support.
EventMB’s commitment to bring event planners messages of hope and inspiration underpinned with the no-holds-barred truth has never wavered. The Future of the Event Industry enlisted the help of 22 industry leaders who shared their insight into the future of our industry from a range of lenses from safety and F&B to event tech and security.
The event recording is now available on-demand and a detailed report is forthcoming. In the meantime, here are five lessons that highlight some of our favorite moments.
We first interviewed infectious disease epidemiologist Brian Labus at the end of May on whether or not live events could be safe. The conclusion was that the live events had to be short, small scale, and local. This policy was reinforced as the pandemic unfolded, and adherence to social distancing and safety recommendations proved hit or miss.
For the Future of the Event Industry, Labus reprised his role as our resident expert to reaffirm our convictions. From an epidemiological perspective, the industry is by its very nature at odds with the fight against Covid-19. The best practice is to keep people apart, but events exist to bring people together.
For Labus, the way to reconcile those things is by concentrating on density. Whether you achieve this by lowering your headcount or scaling up your venue, you need to keep attendee density down to avoid the risk of spreading the virus. Once you’ve done that, the next step is to cover as many bases as possible by layering other measures like mandatory masks on top.
Engage Emotions Over Experiences
Our research shows that keeping attendees engaged is the biggest challenge event planners face when hosting virtual events, and event veteran Tahira Endean joined us to talk about how to tackle that challenge and approach it as we slowly begin to transition to hybrid events.
One trick, Tahira shares, is to acknowledge the format. Virtual events and event elements are limited in terms of their ability to engage all the senses — something planners are used to having at their disposal when it comes to designing experiences. But that doesn’t mean you can’t give attendees a memorable experience.
The key is to engage them on an emotional level. Create content that resonates with your audience and relates to the challenges they face — and encourage them to show their face.
The number 1 virtual event challenge according to a recent EventMB survey was engagement. How can you keep a virtual audience engaged?
1. Be people-centric and purpose-driven
2. Let participants choose their own adventure
3. Engage emotions over sensations#FOI20 @TahiraCreates
— Event Manager Blog (@EventMB) July 30, 2020
Try New Formats
Virtual events present planners with a new opportunity to challenge the event planning status quo, and hybrid events are going to present even more dynamic options. Pierre Metrailler shared his view on the business of events going into 2021, and he stressed the importance of trying these formats.
One aspect of this event format experimentation is to alternate with live and on-demand content. 60 percent of SpotMe’s customers do not simply deliver a one-day event — they extend the digital experiences with, for example, smaller taster events to boost engagement leading up to the event.
Enforce Your Own Rules
Safety and security protocols have always been a key part of event management, but Covid-19 is a new factor that complicates everything from health and safety to legal liability. One of the biggest challenges is that, even where safety protocols are in place, compliance is low.
But this has wider-reaching ramifications than just health and safety. Steven Adelman is a lawyer who specializes in events, and his discussion of the future of event security helped to shed light on the effects these measures have on your liability.
As it turns out, when planners publish safety protocols that are designed to let people know the risk mitigation measures being undertaken and make them feel safe attending the event, that constitutes a promise to them that those measures will actually be in force. If people arrive and they aren’t being enforced, the planner has broken that promise and is culpable if anyone gets sick.
The upshot? Follow your own rules. If you say masks are mandatory, make sure people wear them. If you say social distancing is mandatory, make sure people keep six feet apart.
Diversify Your Supply Chain
Nobody could have expected that 2020 would bring about so much change, but not all of it has revolved around the pandemic, and not all of it has been for the worse. Systemically entrenched racial injustices have been exposed and have finally been given the media attention needed to inspire real change.
The events industry is not exempt from this movement, and organizations in every sector are aligning to make positive changes. This comes with its own set of challenges, and as an organization that has recently been galvanized into forming its own DEI team, one of the biggest is knowing where to start.
Ashanti Bentil-Dhue of UK-based DEI consultancy Diversity Ally offered some guidance into how to approach diversity and inclusion and form a company culture that is conducive to making all employees feel welcome, happy, and supported. One of the tips she mentioned was to take the quick wins.
Many organizations within the events industry are not financially in a position to hire anyone, but one way to diversify is through partnerships. Supporting Black-owned and operated companies is something planning organizations can do right now to move the needle forward, and sets a positive tone for the rest of their efforts.
One thing the industry is craving is reliable, up-to-date guidance on what to expect and how to proceed. Most of us are operating in a paucity of certainty, and that can be really unnerving when lives and livelihoods are on the line.
The Future of the Event Industry brought the expertise of leaders in almost every sector to bear on the most pressing issues we are facing in events. We’ve shared five snapshots here, but there is plenty to check out on demand. Stay tuned for our upcoming report for more highlights.

I loved the Matter of Balance class. It was very timely for me. The class taught me how to get up safely after a fall. Since taking the course, I fell in my garden. I had taken the time to put on the right shoes, but I stepped back and tripped over a branch that was on the ground. Everything slowed down enough where I was able to choose how to fall, that is, on my butt. I took a minute to see if everything was ok instead of jumping up like I normally would. I scooted over to the porch steps and got up gradually and safely. I yelled for my husband, but he didn’t hear me. I also really appreciated it when the doctor came and spoke to the class. I learned that everybody falls. That was an eye opener for me.

College burnout! Like hitting a wall, it’s a phenomenon that will affect many students at some stage of their academic journey. But instead of a wall made of bricks, it’s a wall made of books and assignment deadlines. Continually banging your head against that wall could leave you stressed, fatigued, and lacking motivation. You may end up asking yourself, “Why did I even bother going to college in the first place?”
What is college burnout?
Originally studied in social-service workers, burnout was recognised by the WHO in 2019 as an ‘occupational phenomenon’ that can affect any occupation. While being a student may not be a professional role, for many it is the equivalent of having a full-time job. And, in fact, there will be many students working while paying for college. Furthermore, besides coursework, there are many other plates to be spun; extracurriculars, nights out, managing relationships, all usually while away from the built-in support of your family. Spinning this many plates should make you feel like a superhero, but, instead, you feel more like a hot mess.
Meanwhile – in the world outside – there’s a rental crisis, a climate crisis, a cost-of-living crisis. You name it, it’s a crisis. The world is falling apart, and you still must hand up your assignment on time. What’s more, with your crazy schedule, you can barely fit in time for a nervous breakdown. It’s enough to make you weep.
So, exactly what is burnout? And is it different from stress? Well, kind of.
Burnout begins with stress. A single demanding situation might cause some stress, but you’ll probably get over it. However, prolonged exposure to demanding situations can lead to burnout. If you’re not careful, the endless exams, assignments, and the pressure to be successful, all while dipping your toes into the adult world for the first time can take its toll.
Whereas stress is a large component of burnout, what marks burnout as different is the following.
First, burnout leaves you exhausted. You wake up every morning feeling like you were hit by a truck, then you proceed – bags under your eyes, coffee in hand – to drag yourself through the day.
Second, burnout leaves you feeling cynical. One day you wake up – still feeling you were hit by a truck – only now you’re contemplating the futility of existence and the meaninglessness of academic pursuit.
The third marker of burnout is feeling of inefficacy. Instead of being smarter, you begin to feel dumber every day. No matter what you do, it never seems to be enough. Coursework begins to look like Mount Everest and all you’re wearing is a pair of flip-flops.
If you’re nodding along to any combination of these three, it’s time to take a step back and start practising some self-care.
Dealing with college burnout
Since burnout starts with stress, let’s first look there …
- Self-care means different things to different people. Find what works for you and make it a regular part of your routine. If taking bubble baths while wearing your favourite tutu and singing ABBA is your thing, go for it.
- Sleep is the magical elixir that can cure all stress. If you’re having trouble sleeping, check out Matthew Walker, professor of all things sleep.
- Occasionally, take a break from the books. But, don’t turn binge-watching your favourite show into a week-long Netflix marathon. That’d be procrastinating.
- Have you become a pro-procrastinator already? Then checkout Tim Pychyl, expert on how to overcome procrastination.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress and improve your mood. Did you know, for example, that scientists recently discovered that ‘runner’s high’ results from the release of natural endo-cannaboids in our system? Why smoke weed when you can get high for free?
Though the last point may seem frivolous, it has a serious intent. Studies on burnout show a difference between adaptive and mal-adaptive coping strategies. Adaptive strategies tend to tackle the issue head on, whereas mal-adaptive strategies are avoidance strategies.
While hitting the bong may relieve stress in the short-term, it may limit your ambition in the longer-term, ensuring issues pile up. The same applies to all your coping strategies. Review them, and ask yourself ‘Am I tackling the issue, or am I avoiding it?’
Because burnout is different from stress, we should also consider some burnout-specific solutions. Because burnout makes us cynical, and because cynicism eats away at both our desire to engage and our motivation. To resolve burnout, both must be addressed.
Motivation is like our personal cheerleader, always urging us on, always reminding us why we started this journey in the first place. And, having elevated levels of motivation gives us the energy to push through tough times. If we lose motivation, we lose momentum. Therefore, when motivation slips, we need to find a way to get it back. How do we do that?
Have you ever seen a cheerleader dancing solo? No, of course not. Every cheerleader is part of a squad. Motivation too needs a squad. And this is arguably the most important remedy for college burnout – social support. This is where family and friends come in. They can provide a listening ear, offer advice, and a fresh perspective on our challenges. They also give us a much-needed break from the rigours of college life, helping us maintain a healthy work-life balance.
With this in place you can remember what it was that motivated you to enter college in the first place. Never forget the dream. It is the lodestar to which we can orient ourselves when times get tough.
Talk to someone
In speaking to family and friends, if you’re struggling, be honest. Express yourself and your emotions honestly. Stress and burnout build like steam in a pressure cooker. If you’re too young to remember what a pressure cooker is, believe me, you don’t want the pressure to get too high. For us humans, one way to relieve the pressure is through honest expression in a supporting environment. Maybe it’s a roommate, or a study partner, or perhaps someone you’ve just met that you really connect with. Whoever it is, be totally honest with them about how you’re managing the stress of college.
And don’t forget, your college itself can provide social support. When cynicism makes us disengage, the best strategy is to move in the opposite direction. Engage with professors and lecturers; ask for advice, ask for extensions, and ask the college what social and mental health support they can provide. Engage, never isolate, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
And if you are considering starting therapy privately, why check out our counselling services here.
In conclusion, overcoming college burnout first requires tackling stress, then a combination of internal motivation and external support. With a clear sense of purpose and a supportive network, you can navigate the challenges of college and come out the other side with your degree and a newfound appreciation for the power of motivation and social support. What’s best, the skills you learn in managing college burnout are skills you’ll carry throughout your career
And always remember, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. Laughter is the best medicine, so keep a sense of humour about it all.

The quality, prestige and influence of a psychological journal are not easy to determine. The most widespread and best known assessment criterion is the impact factor (IF) by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI of Thomson-Reuters). Nevertheless, despite its undoubted qualities, the IF has many limitations and to use only IF to assess the Spanish psychology journals is confounding. From these considerations, our work is aimed at revising the criteria to assess Spanish psychology journals in order to help authors to choose the suitable journal and thus obtain the best dissemination, prestige and visibility for their work.

If you find that the area of before and after input is slightly different, it is caused by the Snap Rounding algorithm that we use in the software, to cater the imprecise input from users. Provided in this article is a simple example (may as well download the project provided above) for an easy understanding. For more details for technical understanding, you may refer to this website; CGAL 5.0.2 – 2D Rounding.
As you notice, the area of the input by the user is 529.316 m2 and the output coming out from the software after analysis is 528.9 m2. The small discrepancy between the results is due to Snap Rounding algorithm.
What is Snap Rounding? #
Snap Rounding is a method to approximate line segments by creating grids and modifying the line segment vertex to be at least half of the pixel grid, in order to convert the line into a fixed precision representation.
Before Snap Rounding:
After Snap Rounding:
How does it affect the outcome #
50 mm is the size of pixels given in the MiTS software by default. Therefore, the line segments are created based on the dimension of the pixel (line is adjusted to be at the centre of the pixel dimension). Therefore, the bigger the pixel size, the higher the tolerance of the line adjustment and causes discrepancy in the results in terms of dimension, cut/fill area and volume between before and after analysis due to the modification. However, if you need to be precisely the same between after result and the before, the pixel needs to be reduced but the drawback is that it will take longer to analyse and prone to create overlapped platforms (which is explained in this blog post; “EW3D: How does EW3D Handle Inaccuracy In Input”).
Take a look at the example below (project file is provided at the top of this article):
Pixel Size : 50 mm (default)
Pixel Size: 5 mm (Lower Tolerance)
If the area is affected by snap rounding, of course the volume of cut/fill also will be affected.
Pixel Size: 50 mm (default)
Pixel Size: 5 mm
Snap rounding algorithm is the modification made towards the line segment in order to cater the imprecise input. The vertex of the line segment will be adjusted to be at the center of the pixel grid. Therefore, the bigger the pixel size, the higher the tolerance is and will reduce the overlapping platform as explained in the blog post “EW3D: How does EW3D Handle Inaccuracy In Input”.
If the pixel size is reduced, the tolerance is lowered and the discrepancy between user input and after modification will be lowered, although the discrepancy between 50 mm pixel with 5 mm is too small (less than 1%). It also has its own disadvantage, which is the platforms are inclined to be overlapped and are meticulous to adjust them. More explanation, you may refer to the blog post “EW3D: How does EW3D Handle Inaccuracy In Input”.

One of our favorite quotes for years comes from Forbes publisher Rick Karlgaard: “Best place to make a future Forbes 400 fortune? Start with this proposition: The most valuable natural resource in the 21st century is brains. Smart people tend to be mobile. Watch where they go! Because where they go, robust economic activity will follow.”
Karlgaard’s central insight is that unlike high paid factory workers of the past who moved to where the jobs were, increasingly knowledge-based employers are moving to where the talent is. Talent being the most important asset to their enterprise and in the shortest supply.
This, of course, should turn economic development strategy at the state and regional levels totally around. From focusing on being business friendly––through lower taxes, less regulation, weaker unions, small government, etc.––to preparing, retaining and attracting talent as priority one.
The Wall Street Journal just published an article with more evidence that Kargaard was right. Its entitled: Companies flock to cities. As business decide where to expand and hire, “people are the natural resources”. The Journal writes:
Fifty years ago, companies opened new locations to be near lumber, copper, or resources needed for their businesses. “Today, people are the natural resources,” said Meredith Amdur, an analytics expert at advisory firm CEB.
Facing a tight labor market and a shortage of skilled workers, many large companies say that a city or region’s population of desirable workers is now the top factor in location decisions.
Half of corporate real-estate executives rated talent availability as the leading consideration in moves and expansions, according to a survey of 229 executives released by real-estate services firm CBRE Group, Inc. in March. More traditional considerations, such as the quality of a location’s infrastructure and real-estate costs, ranked lower.
The article continues:
Metro areas with high shares of college graduates, such as Denver and Raleigh, N.C., are emerging as winners in the new landscape. After Ms. Recio shared candidate data with her bosses, Salesforce opened offices in, or moved roles to, Seattle, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Boulder, Colo. Regions with fewer degree-holders could struggle to attract big corporations, interviews with employers suggest.
Michigan’s two big metros are not currently talent magnets. Metro Detroit ranking 42nd out of 52 metros with populations of one million or more in the proportion of those 25 and older with four year degrees and metro Grand Rapids ranking 34th. Until those rankings improve Michigan almost certainly will continue to be a low-prosperity state. Today’s and tomorrow’s high wage employers are primarily knowledge-based. And they need college educated talent first and foremost.

Note: This article was updated in July 2018 to reflect changes in HOMER Grid 1.2.
In mid-March 2018, HOMER Energy released HOMER Grid – our first new desktop product since the launch of HOMER Pro in November 2014. HOMER Grid addresses a growing market that was not well served by HOMER Pro: behind-the-meter systems connected to a mostly reliable grid, where demand charges, energy arbitrage, self-consumption, or all three of these are driving the economics of storage, often in combination with renewables, such as solar or wind, backup generators, or combined heat and power systems.
Techno-economic Optimization of Hybrid Power Systems
Both products are techno-economic optimization models, a mouthful that means both have a goal of finding the lowest cost power system that meets all technical requirements from among hundreds or thousands of possibilities. They accomplish this with chronological simulation of each possible power system for a year, minimizing the cost at each of a series of time steps while also meeting the power requirements for that time-period. HOMER is an acronym for Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources, so both products are at their best when the problem is how to select, size, and compare a combination of generation sources and storage. Both products have an impressive array of options and ways in which constraints and requirements can be configured, dozens more major features not listed here.
Why did we create HOMER Grid as a separate product and not an upgrade or add-on to HOMER Pro? And which product should be used for which modeling issues? If you are new to HOMER or do not care about the details, here is the answer to “which product do I need when”:
HOMER Pro is a Swiss Army Knife
HOMER Pro is a “Swiss Army knife” of hybrid optimization. It is an astoundingly robust modeling tool that has become a true global standard. Its roots were in the energy access world – the original problem for HOMER was to find the lowest cost means to either offset diesel generation with renewables and storage or to build a completely new mini-grid system. The easiest way to describe this is that HOMER was trying to find “the cheapest thing that would meet the load.” HOMER 2.0, released in 2003 (by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where HOMER was originally created), added significant capability to the original HOMER – including grid-connected systems, hydrogen, multiple generators, and combined heat and power.
The original implementation of grid in HOMER was simple. The grid was always on, and the price was fixed. It became more sophisticated over time, and with the first release of the Advanced Grid module, in HOMER Pro 3.1, we added real-time rates, scheduled rates, scheduled outages, separate rate periods with control options, and the ability to compare the cost of grid extension to the cost of a hybrid microgrid. With the release of HOMER Pro 3.2, in 2015, we added the ability to model unreliable grids, one of our top customer requests. We have continued to improve and refine the grid-connected modeling capabilities of HOMER Pro since then.
A Growing Importance of Demand Charges in Energy Costs
There was one use case, however, that simply did not fit the HOMER Pro approach, and that was the growing importance of demand charges and time-of-use rates. The issue with demand charges is that they can be set for a particular month, and then get reset for the next month. The modeling goal for HOMER would therefore change every month, which is not a satisfactory result. If you try to model for only one month at a time, you may end up with a different system configuration in each month. Adding 12 more decision variables, i.e., one for each month, to the optimization creates too large a problem to solve in a reasonable amount of time.
We needed a new approach to “Dispatch Strategy,” the way in which a power system uses available power sources, to assist in this market. HOMER Grid allows HOMER to “look ahead” at the anticipated load and make decisions based not necessarily on “What is the cheapest form of reliable power in this time step?” but rather on “Which source of power should I use in this time step that will minimize my total cost including the demand charge?” But the issue is not that simple, either. The savings from smoothing out utility usage must be weighed against the cost of the offsets, i.e., the renewables, storage, and other local generation sources that are used to avoid grid power. There is then the issue of what to use when – storage, solar photovoltaics, or other available sources such as generators (diesel, natural gas, steam from CHP), or wind turbines.
HOMER Shines in Complex Modeling Problems
Sorting out the complexity required to understand economic and engineering options is where HOMER shines. To create HOMER Grid, we took the proprietary optimization approach from HOMER Pro and combined it with a dispatch approach that can handle demand charges and time of use rates the way we believe they should be handled. To this we added access to an extensive tariff database via an API to Genability, giving HOMER Grid users easy access to complex tariffs (currently tariffs for the USA, Canada, and Mexico). So again, the simple answer to which product to use is based on the fundamental problem to be solved. HOMER Pro still serves many grid-connected markets extremely well, particularly those situations where the primary issue is backup power for a highly unreliable or part-time grid or where the choice is between extending the grid or providing an off-grid solution. For areas outside North America or tariffs not included in Genability, HOMER Grid includes an Advanced Tariff Builderthat lets the user define almost any tariff (or we can do it for you.)
But when the issue is modeling behind-the-meter projects, HOMER Grid is the best tool available, and it is only going to get better.
There is no other commercially available, supported modeling tool that considers such a broad range of potential technologies for lowering the overall cost of energy in grid-connected systems with demand charges.
We Care About Our Users
One final point I wish to make, for our loyal customers and HOMER Pro users, is that product usability was an important part of this decision as well. While it was theoretically possible to make this demand charge modeling problem one more tool in the HOMER Pro Swiss Army knife, it would have significantly increased HOMER Pro’s complexity, making HOMER Pro more difficult for people to use and understand.
HOMER Pro now has nine modules that can be added to its base and three “packages” to assist users in bundling together modules that are often used together. This requires significant time from our customers up front understanding which product configuration is the right one for them. We would rather our customers spend time modeling than sorting out software configurations. But complexity continues after a purchase, and the more complex a piece software becomes, the greater the likelihood of using it incorrectly, not knowing how to solve a particular issue, which serves no one. It is very important to us that HOMER software is used correctly, that it is giving the best possible answer, so that you and your clients are getting the best possible information by which to understand and evaluate choices in hybrid power system design.
What is the future for HOMER Grid?
Capabilities we are exploring for future versions of HOMER Grid include multi-year modeling, accounting for ancillary services revenue streams, unreliable grids, and demand-side management options, such as controllable loads and demand response. We will be adding Genability tariffs for additional regions of the world as Genability adds them. We are also considering mechanisms for our customers to report expired or invalid tariffs.
What is the future for HOMER Pro?
HOMER Pro 3.12 is planned for August 2018 – the 12th major upgrade for this flagship product. This version will add:
- Predictive dispatch in off-grid systems
- OpenEI Load Profiles available worldwide (extrapolated by climate zone)
- Improved handling of concurrent licenses and proxy authentication
We will continue expanding HOMER Pro’s capabilities, primarily in terms of usability, fixing any new bugs that crop up, keeping up with market needs and technology changes that drive customer needs and requirements. As HOMER Grid’s capabilities grow, we can focus improvements to HOMER Pro on purely off-grid systems, either in basic energy access or island utilities with multiple generators.
Choosing a HOMER Version
The “choice” between HOMER Grid and HOMER Pro is not an “either/or” decision. We have created this comparison page to make it easier to directly compare the two products. Companies with a very focused market approach may need only one product, but large companies working in multiple markets will likely need both. HOMER Pro also continues to be our primary product for educational and research markets, because of its broad applicability to many modeling approaches (we did add academic and student pricing for HOMER Grid in version 1.2). Both products are available as APIs for companies that wish to develop OEM versions or custom interfaces.
Our approach to software development has always been to keep a close ear to the market and to listen to our customers. So, I invite you to let us know what you would like to see in HOMER Grid or HOMER Pro. We are listening.
You can download and try full-featured versions of HOMER Pro and HOMER Grid from our Products page. You can also try our simpler, free online “Quick” versions, built from HOMER Saas API – HOMER Quickstart and HOMER QuickGrid. The Quick modeling options are simplified, but you will get useful reports that provide a good overview of the capabilities of HOMER Energy software.

The advanced screening of Book Club was buzzing with infectious excitement. My longtime friend and colleague Evan Dossey and I sat down between two ladies giddily fidgeting in their seats. They were eager to see fellow women of a certain age on the big screen.
The film stars Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen as four lifelong friends who experience a sexual and romantic reawakening when they spice up their monthly book club by reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Fortunately, director Bill Holderman and co-writer Erin Simms don’t linger too long on the book’s subject matter. They use it simply as a catalyst to explore the women’s hopes and desires as they slowly draw closer to their twilight years.
None of the characters get short shrift. Each woman faces a compelling issue: Vivian (Fonda) finds her cold exterior melting away as she falls for an old flame (Don Johnson); Sharon (Bergen) returns to the dating scene after 18 years; and Carol (Steenburgen) struggles to reignite the spark in her marriage as her husband (Craig T. Nelson) wrestles with redefining his identity after retirement.
The subplot involving Keaton’s character (also named Diane) struck a particularly powerful chord with me and a woman seated to my right. Diane is a widow with two daughters (Katie Aselton and Alicia Silverstone) whose concern for her borders on ageism. They treat her like a delicate flower, forbidding her from taking the escalator at the mall to prevent her from falling. Little do they know she is diving into an adventurous affair with a pilot named Mitchell (Andy Garcia).
As her daughters pressure her to settle into the sunset of her life, Diane begins to grow fearful of throwing caution to the wind and running off with Mitchell.
“It’s OK to be happy,” he reminds her.
From the corner of my eye, I caught the woman next to me smiling at this moment. Shortly before the screening, she told us that, like Diane, she lost her husband a year ago and now finds herself at the mercy of her worried children. Seeing her life mirrored on screen seemed to fill her with happiness. The film washed over her with warm familiarity, and she let out hearty laughs of recognition. It was a beautiful display of art imitating life and providing catharsis.
As I watched her, I thought of my mother, who is also adjusting to growing older and starting new chapters in her life that she never expected. I imagine she would also find joy and relief in watching these beloved actors breathe new life into the theme of aging and making discoveries in one’s golden years.
By the way, this is a superbly acted ensemble comedy. Each star makes their character’s fear and frustration our own as they timidly traverse the battlefield of love. They also ground their actions in reality, carrying out romantic gestures in a charmingly clunky manner. No one gracefully sprints after their soulmate in an airport or shouts from a rooftop about the love of their life. Even in a dance scene near the end, the film reminds us that these people’s moves are rusty. But they tear up the stage anyway. It’s a touching example of how romance is a bit scary, silly and awkward but still well worth pursuing. Best of all, the characters pursue it on their own terms, not out of any societal pressure.
Hilarious and heartfelt, Book Club is the kind of film that sends you out into the night with a smile on your face and a tingle of comfort up your spine. It’s like a hug from an old friend. As my buddy Evan and I like to say after we’ve seen something sweet and well-meaning, “it’s delightful.”

It was Sunday mass and I was supposed to be paying attention to the priest, but the family in the pew next to me had a pimped out infant carseat and I couldn’t help but watch their baby girl happily play with all the activities [the activity bar was hot pink so I assumed it was a baby girl].
In that moment, I had no idea that Baby Girl [her name is Isabella] had also just relocated to Seattle. Or that she’d quickly become friends with my little Colin. Or that her parents would ask me to take photos of their cute family.
I’m so thankful for all of those things.
Here are my favorites from my session with beautiful 5-month-old Isabella…
I met Isabella’s family at Lincoln Park in West Seattle [my fave!] on a chilly November day. I was so happy with the pops of bright red that Mom incorporated into their wardrobe. Ideal for Christmas cards, but it also offset the overcast day perfectly.
Isabella’s wardrobe rocks. She comes to every playdate donning something adorable & perfectly accessorized. Aren’t her little red cuffs/shoes (tights)/bow just too much cute?!
Isabella, thanks for braving the chilly temps for our photo session. Since you were born in Florida, I know 45 degrees probably felt like a polar vortex! You were a great sport!

Should this read the Chinese woman or the woman from China? No, this is about the China Woman. Let me tell you about her!
Last week, two colleagues called and, when offering them tea, I suggested mugs or china teacups. They opted for the china! Later, when washing up the cups, I remembered the ‘china woman’ who called to our house about three or four times a year when I was a young child in Boyle Co. Roscommon. Every sitting room that I ever visited in Boyle had a cupboard made of glass, called a china cabinet, and it kept all the really good things that were only used for visitors, like Waterford glass, china teacups and saucers and sometimes even Belleek pottery. Many of these items were wedding presents and were very precious; we had a key to our china cabinet and for years my parents hid it just in case……….
I was learning the name of the various kinds of china – Wedgewood, Willow Pattern and English Rose. Such beautiful cups but in our house I only ever saw them used for visitors and on Sundays when granny Friel was staying with us. Sometimes the China cups got chipped or a plate fell and was broken so we had sets that had something missing. That was sad, but mammy found a clever way to get more china cups and saucers even though she didn’t have to get married again and have another wedding to get wedding presents.
There were no charity shops in Boyle, and everyone wore the clothes of their older brothers and sisters, and it was alright. So, getting clothes was hard and getting new, bought clothes from a shop only happened if you were the eldest in the family. I wasn’t. Mammy made all our clothes of every kind so that was nice.
People, now called “Travellers”, lived outside Boyle and made money by repairing metal things like horseshoes, making tin buckets & mugs, and selling horses. The women worked extremely hard and looked for ways to get clothes especially for the men and children. One traveller woman called to our house looking for clothes and knowing how good mammy was with sewing and knitting was so happy to get clothes from her. But she especially wanted clothes from ‘the boss’. I didn’t know at first who the boss was but then I learned that this was the name she gave daddy, or any grown up man. We gave her a name too and called her the ‘china woman’ because she came with china and gave mammy lovely cups, saucers , plates and fancy things and mammy gave her the clothes, especially the clothes from the boss. Those china things went straight into our china cabinet, so we were able to feel less sad that a few things had got broken.
The china woman and mammy became particularly good friends; they loved each other a lot, as children we knew this. They used to sit down in the sitting room and talk especially about their children and their boss too. Then we noticed that the lady came sometimes and just said to mammy: ““I am here for a chat, mam.” Mammy was a great listener; she didn’t ever say very much at all, but she allowed other people talk away. They were saying things all about their children and worries about sicknesses and then they always talked about their boss too! I don’t think they said much about the china and the clothes. But it seemed particularly good because they used to smile and laugh, and the china lady would say leaving: “I will be back mam…. and do you need any china?”
Before we left Boyle, mammy sent a message – I don’t know how she did this as the china woman lived in different places and there were no mobile phones then – to tell her dear friend we were leaving. The china woman stood outside the house on the footpath as the furniture removal men packed the van for our journey to Dundalk. “I will see you again mam because we move around and travel to fairs” were her parting words.
I feel sure those two special women have met in Heaven and are still worrying about the children and the boss in their lives……and even the china too!

Excitement is building in the gaming community as Amazon Games’ New World prepares for the arrival of the Fire Storm Heartrune on March 28, alongside Season One – Fellowship & Fire. This powerful new ability promises to create a tornado of fire that can burn through any obstacle in its path, providing a unique gameplay experience for players.
To learn more about the Fire Storm Heartrune, Amazon Games spoke to Combat Designer Josh Hurley about its inspiration, design, goals, and challenges. According to Hurley, the inspiration for the Fire Storm came from the Empyrean Forge Expedition, with the goal being to lean into the fire portion of the “Fellowship & Fire” theme.
During the early stages of development, the team experimented with different casting animations before settling on a spin kick as the perfect way to cast the ability. As with all Heartrunes, the Fire Storm is themed around an AI boss or event, and the design team worked to ensure that it fits into the event that the player is participating in.
The Fire Storm Heartrune is designed to fill a gap in players’ builds, offering a unique purpose and place. While some Heartrunes are designed for damage, others have more utility. The Fire Storm, for example, is best suited for close-mid ranged situations, with the ability to aid as an engagement tool or to cast towards an enemy that could be running away.
However, the Fire Storm Heartrune is not without its challenges. According to Hurley, the slower projectile speed created a number of issues, making it easier for players to keep a close eye on the translation of the projectile. To address this, the team added the ability for the Fire Storm to follow terrain, allowing the projectile to maintain a set distance from the ground.
As the release date approaches, gamers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Fire Storm Heartrune and its unique gameplay mechanics. Players are encouraged to share their experiences with the ability on the forums, and the Amazon Games team is looking forward to seeing how the community uses this powerful new tool in their quests through Aeternum.

Keto Food List For Beginners
Are you ready to take the plunge into a ketogenic lifestyle? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Eating a keto diet is all about getting your body into a state of nutritional ketosis; where it burns fat for energy instead of carbs. In order to reach this goal, there are certain foods that must be included in your diet and other foods that should be avoided. Here we provide you with an introduction to the essential keto food list for beginners – so you can make sure you get off on the right foot.
No matter if you’re just starting out or already have some knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating habits, transitioning to a low-carb, high-fat (ketogenic) diet can seem overwhelming at first. Don't worry - we've got you covered! Our essential guide will give you everything you need to know when building your own balanced keto meal plan.
We'll show you how to stock up on nutrient-rich ingredients while avoiding those that could derail your progress towards achieving optimal health. We've broken down our comprehensive keto food list into easy categories so that anyone can find what they're looking for quickly and easily. So let's dive in and see what makes up the perfect beginner's keto grocery shopping list!
What Is The Keto Diet?
So you've heard all the buzz about this magical "keto diet" and are ready to jump on board. You're probably thinking: 'What is it, anyway?' Well, let me fill you in!
The keto diet - or ‘ketogenic’ as it's also known - is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that has been popular amongst health-conscious individuals for years. It claims to help you lose weight fast by burning fat instead of carbs for energy; sounds pretty great, right? Not only does it promise quick results but it can also increase focus and mental clarity due to its effects on your body's hormones and neurotransmitters. However, if you want to get started with the keto diet then there are some things you should know before diving into this nutrition program.
One of the most important things when beginning any dietary change is understanding what foods are safe to eat and which ones aren't. For those just starting out on their journey towards ketosis, we have compiled a list of acceptable food items that form the basis of any well-rounded ketogenic meal plan. From vegetables and nuts to dairy products and fats - here is a comprehensive guide outlining everything beginners need to know about building their very own personalized keto food list!
Essential Keto Foods To Stock Up On
If you're throwing your hat into the keto game, stocking up on essential keto foods is a must. Picture this: You’ve just opened your pantry door to find it brimming with flavor-packed ingredients that will help power your journey towards health and wellness. It's like hitting the jackpot!
From healthy fats to proteins and non-starchy vegetables, these are the building blocks for success when following a ketogenic diet. To get you started, here's a list of some key items to add to your shopping basket: avocados, coconut oil, fatty fish like salmon and mackerel, grass-fed beef, pastured eggs, olive oil, butter or ghee from grass fed cows, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, nut butters (without added sugar), full fat dairy products (if tolerated) such as cream cheese and heavy cream.
The list doesn't stop there though - dark leafy greens like spinach and kale offer plenty of vitamins and minerals while cruciferous veggies like broccoli provides fiber; all crucial components in achieving dietary balance. Don't forget about spices too - they can take dishes to another level without adding unnecessary carbs or calories. With these keto staples by your side, you'll have everything needed to transform your kitchen into an efficient fat burning machine!
Keto-Friendly Recipes For Beginners
The morning sun creeps through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow on the ingredients before you. You can feel your heart flutter with excitement as possibilities dance in your mind. The freedom that comes from creating something of your own is palpable—it's time to start cooking!
Keto-friendly recipes provide an opportunity for beginners to explore and experiment in the kitchen. Whether following a recipe exactly or making creative substitutions, these dishes offer endless variation while staying within the keto diet guidelines. From appetizers like deviled eggs and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers to main courses like avocado pesto chicken salad and pork chops with creamy dijon sauce, there are plenty of delicious options available for someone just starting out. And don't forget dessert! Low carb brownies and chocolate mousse allow you to indulge without guilt after dinner.
You grab all the necessary items from the pantry, ready to begin. With each step taken, you become more confident in yourself—in your ability to conquer any challenge presented by this new lifestyle change. All that stands between you and success is one simple question: what will it be today?

Making a commitment to healthy eating can sometimes feel like taking the plunge into a deep, mysterious abyss. With the right support and guidance, however, you'll find that sticking to a keto diet is surprisingly simple! Here are some tips to help keep you on track.
Firstly, plan ahead: prepare your meals for the week in advance so you're never left without something delicious and nutritious. Meal prepping will also save time and reduce stress - both of which can be huge barriers when it comes to staying on top of your diet goals. Secondly, don't forget about snacks! Fruits and vegetables make excellent snacks when combined with other low-carb foods like cheese or nuts. And finally, treat yourself occasionally - just because you're following a keto meal plan doesn't mean there isn't room in your life for those occasional indulgences. A small piece of chocolate cake won't ruin your progress if enjoyed in moderation.
By arming yourself with these helpful tips, you'll be well on your way to establishing long-term success with the keto diet. So grab some recipes, get planning and start experimenting today – it's time to take back control over your health!
As the journey of a Keto diet begins, it can be overwhelming to know what to stock up on and how to keep track of progress. However, once you understand the basics of the Keto diet and have stocked up on essential foods, following a Keto diet is like taking an exciting adventure. You are sailing away in your own boat with only one destination: achieving your health goals.
While there may be storms along the way that make it hard to stay motivated or temptations that try to steer you off course, remember why you started this journey in the first place. With commitment and dedication, I'm sure you will eventually reach your desired destination – improved overall health!
The key is not to give up when times get tough; think about all the amazing benefits that come with sticking to a Keto diet such as weight loss, balanced energy levels and better cognitive function.

A Momental Girl foodie gets married, so what do I do? Throw her an un-shower, wedding shower in the middle of a warehouse….Jess wasn’t your typical bride, but who is a typical bride these days anyway? I guess what I mean to say is that Jess wouldn’t go for anything pink, girly, lacy or sweet. She is rough around her creative edges, insatiably spontaneous and a fellow artist. I had to dig deep into what I knew a wedding shower to be and then attempt to turn that thinking completely upside down.
It all began with this pattern, one of Jess’s favorite I’d done recently. Color though would mostly be reserved for the stationery…
My first call was to Maggie and Jason of Maggpie Vintage Rentals. How lucky am I to have one of the foremost vintage rental companies in my backyard. Since they moved into their new warehouse, I’d been dying to make a party there…I had to wait no more…
Maggie’s talents go far beyond collecting vintage goodies and spread into styling and design, so I let her go to it! She planned a space for dining, lounging, sweets and even a pretty entrance to welcome each of our 18 guests that day.
Next… the food. Pat Greenfield is a genius cook and food stylist and brought a distinct feeling of welcome to our table for the day. The menu from start to finish was full of color, flavor of course and the ever powerful element of surprise! The food was our floral for the day and meant to be the table’s centerpiece in both form and function.
Three courses, starting with a sculpted blue cheese pear, fresh fig and fruit plate, heirloom tomato salad with green goddess drizzle, vegetable tartlets, soy noodles with red pepper, peas and chile and seared scallops with red beet coulis….ah-mazing to see, ah-mazing to savor.
Jason is the wood working genius behind Maggpie Vintage and has taken to crafting farm tables and most recently these hefty cafe tables from scratch. Assembled in an eclectic format to conjure a sense of closeness and inspire conversation over a meal, these small tables were the true personality of this wedding shower. Stretched down the middle was an elevated bench that I covered in a messy, dark watercolor, salt sprinkled, painted runner. By the way, salt in wet watercolor creates the prettiest bursts of texture when dry!
Jasmine of The Couture Cakery created an eclectic sweets table for us to feast on! The main cake was a dream of sage peony blooms and ruffly textures. A lemon meringue cake was set nearby, the flavors of which I still dream about. Cupcakes, macaroons, Jess’s favorite flan were all styled atop ribbon spools, Spanish cigar boxes and pretty glassware with none other than the warehouse forklift as a backdrop!
A little handwriting atop deeply saturated watercolor inks looked so dramatic against the brights of the sweets display! Kyrsten from The Couture Cakery created this artful trio of cookies that were most certainly too beautiful to eat!
Hand crafted notebooks for each guest with a studio favorite…the “Le Pen”.
Each invite was sent in a small rounded box. “Let’s eat and drink for she is getting married” greeted each guest…how fitting for the day.
I have so much adoration for this team and will remember the day fondly. It was a celebration of good and new friends, rich flavors – all as colorful as the Bride’s personality! XO

Pengeluaran SDY are a form of gambling that involves the drawing of a set of numbers for a prize. They have become popular in some countries, and are even used to finance public projects such as schools and colleges. The history of lotteries is quite varied.
Historically, it is thought that the first known European lottery was held in the Roman Empire. It was used as a source of entertainment at dinner parties and during Saturnalian revels. In fact, records from China date back to the Han Dynasty, and it is believed that these records helped finance major government projects such as the Great Wall of China.
During the Middle Ages, many lotteries were held in various towns around the world, and were also used by governments to fund fortifications and other projects. For instance, the French and Indian Wars saw several colonies use lotteries to help finance their war efforts. Other forms of gambling were banned in most European countries by 1900, and most forms of gambling are now illegal in the U.S.
Lotteries are usually offered in a variety of games, and the rules can vary. There are also many online lotteries, which allow players to buy tickets over the internet. Some offer Instant Games, which are similar to casino-like games. You can play these games on the web or mobile apps. Players must select a game and enter the payment information. Depending on the game, players may be able to choose between an annuity payment or a one-time payment.
During the 17th century, lotteries were very popular in the Netherlands. King James I granted the right to raise money for the Virginia Company of London, which supported the settlement of America at Jamestown. Many private lotteries were held to raise funds for the company, as well.
The United States has a long history of lotteries. Most of the United States’ lottery games are played within the boundaries of a single state. However, a handful of states have authorized online lottery sales. These lottery websites operate on the same premise as land-based distribution points.
Online lotteries are a great way to win big. They can provide thrills and even life-changing payouts. But they can also be a scam. Scammers pretended to have won a lottery, and then persuaded a stranger to put up his or her money as collateral.
Historically, the odds of winning the jackpot are very low, and most people who participate in a lottery are unable to win. For example, if you play 100 lottery tickets a day, you will have only a 50 percent chance of winning the jackpot. That’s nearly a half million dollars. If you’re lucky, you might split the jackpot with another player.
When a person wins the jackpot, they can choose whether to receive an annuity payment or a one-time payout. Once the winner has claimed the prize, the jackpot resets to a pre-determined minimum. This is called a “rollover”. Because of this, the odds of winning the jackpot are not consistent for each individual.

There have been several scams appearing in the ads on Craigslist Daytona recently. The site is popular for posting ads selling cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and other miscellaneous items. It's also a place where people find homes for sale or rent by owners as well as by real estate companies and although most transactions are perfectly legitimate, we're seeing more and more phony ads posted by scammers who are out to steal your hard earned cash. Here are five money scams that you need to watch out for on Craigslist Daytona.
1. Daytona Craigslist Rental Property Scam
A Sanford woman posted fake Craigslist ads for rental property in DeLand. Several people were scammed in the con operation. The woman had collected between $75 to $525 from each of her victims who attempted to rent the property she listed. After contacting her about the rental, she collected deposit and rent from the victims and gave them a key. When the renters discovered the key didn't work, they tried to contact her. She would respond to their first call offering to fix the issue, but would then disconnect the number and disappear.
2. Scam Car Ads on Craigslist Daytona
There has been a rash of car scams on Craigslist Daytona. Scammers are stealing photographs of cars and other vehicles, then creating a phony ad. They're listing them for sale for about 1/3 below their current value. Buyers who think they're getting a good deal area actually falling victim to a con artist. The scammers give a sob story about being in the military and they say that they're stationed overseas or in a different part of the country and this is why they cannot meet with buyers to sell them the vehicle. They ask for the fund to be sent to them for the purchase via wire transfer and they promise to ship the vehicle after the money has been received. After victims send the payment, the scammers disappear and stop responding to contact attempts. The rule of thumb to stay safe is to only deal with local people who are willing to meet with you in a public place to show you the car.
3. Nigerian Rental Scam Craigslist Daytona
This apartment was listed by a scammer from Nigeria. It's one of many examples of how these overseas con artists are stealing photos and information from legitimate listing sites and using them to make phony ads for rental properties. They insist on having the money wired to them for rent and a deposit. They promise to mail the keys to you after you've sent the money. They even go as far as to have potential renters go through a screening process and fill out a rental application. They not only steal any money sent for a deposit and rent, but they also get your personal information which could be used for identity theft.
4. Another Rental Scam in Daytona Beach Craigslist
Real estate professional Sherry Armstrong is warning everyone in the area to be careful about who you give a rental deposit to. There is a criminal who has been finding houses that are for rent or sale in the area and stealing the information to make his own fake rental ads. He claims that he has moved to West Africa as a result of winning a petroleum land bid. He offers the house for rent while he is away. There is a questionnaire that all interested parties must complete and upon approval, they tell potential renters to wire the deposit and after the money is sent, no keys arrive and the scammers stop responding to email and calls.
5. 2003 Ford Escape Scam on Daytona Craigslist
A phony ad offering a 2003 Ford Escape for sale for $3,920 gives pictures and full details of a vehicle that appears to be a great deal, except it is too good to be true. After interested parties respond, an email arrives that is supposedly from the seller and informs the buyer that they have recently moved out of the state and that the vehicle must be sold quickly. The money must be sent via wire transfer and the seller will ship it to the buyer for no additional cost. It's a common scam and one that you need to watch out for.

Wow! This turned out great. No meat and the tofu is fantastic here. If only most restaurants could cook this way…sigh!
NOTE: Do not drain the excess water so it keeps the noodles even more moist. This blows your “traditional” lasagna out of the water in terms of having a lower-fat/calorie content and taste. All you need to do is add the bread sticks!
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or use fresh- even better
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 (14-ounce) package water-packed firm tofu, drained
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 cups finely chopped red bell pepper (about 2 medium)
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
12 cooked whole-wheat lasagna noodles
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add white onion; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute or until golden. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, crushed red pepper, and tomatoes. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat; stir in basil and oregano. Cool.
3. Combine ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, tofu, egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; process for 10 seconds or until blended. Stir in green onions. Set aside.
4. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to pan; sauté 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in parsley and remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Spread 1/2 cup tomato mixture in the bottom of a 13 x 9–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with 3 noodles. Spread 3/4 cup tomato mixture over noodles; top with 1 cup tofu mixture and 1 cup zucchini mixture. Repeat layers twice, ending with noodles. Spread remaining 3/4 cup tomato mixture over top. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until bubbly; top with mozzarella cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes. Enjoy!

From wafting barbecue smoke to dog behaviour, there are a number of garden etiquette rules you should abide by if you want to be a good neighbour and avoid any disputes.
‘Spring sees much of the UK carry out garden chores and spend a lot of time in their outdoor spaces,’ gardening expert Harry Bodell at Price Your Job, says. ‘But spending so much time outside can potentially spark conflict with neighbours.’
Take a look at the rules to follow below…
1. Do not mow your lawn at inconvenient times
Keep the peace in your neighbourhood by cutting the grass during the middle of the day. As a general rule of thumb, the best time to cut the grass is between 2pm and 4pm during the week, and after 9am on the weekend to avoid causing upset. If you aren’t able to use the lawnmower during the day, try to do it before 7pm in the evening — earlier if there are children sleeping.
2. Position your BBQ correctly
Before you fire up for barbecue season, position your grill in a safe place to avoid any thick smoke blowing into next door’s garden (it’s worth checking whether they have the washing out, too).
‘Before you begin a BBQ, observe the direction of the wind, and position the BBQ accordingly. If your neighbour is drying their washing in the garden, be sure to alert them of your BBQ so that they may move it,’ explains Harry.
3. Place any trampolines away from shared neighbouring lines
Poorly positioned trampolines could frustrate your neighbours. In fact, last month one woman said her neighbours’ trampoline was severely impacting her wellbeing and making life miserable because it overlooked her garden. If you’re the courteous type and enjoy getting along with your neighbours, make every effort to place your trampoline away from their fence.
Harry adds: ‘To avoid neighbour disputes, place the trampoline away from any shared neighbouring lines. Ensure that when standing or jumping on the trampoline, you do not have a view into other gardens. Be aware that if a neighbour can prove that the trampoline is an invasion of privacy, then it can become a legal matter.’
4. Do not leave your dog unattended in the garden
Leaving a dog alone in the garden can lead to unwanted behaviours and excessive barking. According to Price Your Job, persistent barking is considered as an offence, potentially leading to a council complaint and a Noise Abatement Notice. If you’re a pet parent, do not leave your dog unattended outside.
‘If your neighbour’s dog is constantly barking, the first point of action should always be trying to talk to them. If this doesn’t work, keep a diary of timings, and report the noise to the local council who can act,’ adds Harry.
5. Be careful when painting your fence
If you want to change something about a fence that legally belongs to your neighbour, you should ask their permission first – even if you’re only painting, varnishing or staining it. Your DIY skills might be pretty impressive, but paint could splash onto the other side.
‘Trailing plants can only be added with the permission of the owner as they may cause damage. You can find out who owns the fence by observing which side the boundary of the fence is placed. The fence will be on the side of the owners.’
6. Use your hot tub at appropriate times
Hot tubs help ease away tensions of the day, but they can also be loud once switched on. If you want to keep a good relationship with your neighbours, check in with them when using it later in the evening.
Harry continues: ‘The noise level of a hot tub can vary between 41- 67 decibels. This is rather loud and can serve as a nuisance to neighbours. Adhere to the same rules as mowing the lawn when it comes to using your hot tub. If you plan to use it out of these hours, notify your neighbours to avoid confrontation.’

Taxi-Turvy (Episode 203)
Directed by Seymour Kneitel. Original air date: June 04, 1954. Popeye polishes his old-fashioned taxi cab beside a “taxi stand” just as Bluto comes by, driving his more modern taxi, and proceeds to bump Popeye’s out of its place. Still, Popeye gets a client but is sabotaged by Bluto who cuts away the old taxi’s rear section without its owner noticing, then steals his fare. Later, by the time Popeye has finished repairing his cab by using his pipe as a blowtorch, Bluto has returned from his run in time to compete for the next client: Olive Oyl. Popeye’s taxi is again bumped out of the way as it is about to receive Olive, and she enters Bluto’s instead. Yet, Popeye in turn steals the client from above and further fare-stealing ends with Olive trapped in a semaphore. There follows a tug-of-war with Olive’s legs, which ends in a tunnel where Bluto’s cab is wrecked. Yet the latter employs a train crossing to steal both Popeye’s vehicle and his client – even after she decides to cut her ride short – leaving the sailor buried in a dirt road. When Popeye attempts to eat his spinach, Bluto comes back to prevent it – only for “his” cab to once again be hit, by the train this time. Popeye is then able to devour the greens, punch his foe into the funnel of the train engine and save the lady, who is then rushed to her destination on the victorious taxi driver’s shoulders.
Genres: Popeye the Sailor COLOR

New York, NY – A star-studded lineup of Broadway performers will “Zoom” straight into the living rooms of fans across the world as part of Broadway Fantasy Camp’s new “Broadway Banter: Safe-At-Home” series, producer Lauren Class Schneider announced.
“After eight years of hosting Broadway Banter in a private room at Sardi’s, we’re glad to be hosting in our private Zoom Room!” Schneider said. “Broadway Banter is one of Broadway Fantasy Camp’s most popular experiences. Audience members are treated to an interview with the featured performer, followed by a Q&A session where fans get to engage directly with their favorite Broadway star.”
Broadway stars invite you to join them in their own homes. You get to hear their stories about their Broadway debut, onstage mishaps, and staying motivated while staying home.
Then, you’ll be able to ask your question “face to face” (so come prepared). At Broadway Fantasy Camp, you don’t have to struggle for your questions to be seen in the chat of a livestream. Broadway Banter sessions are about an hour and are limited to 50 guests.
Tickets will be limited, and for every 25 tickets sold, Broadway Fantasy Camp will donate a ticket to a hospital worker.
“The Broadway community leads the way in being generous and sensitive to the human condition,” Schneider said. “Broadway Fantasy Camp is humbled to include hospital workers in our audience as they continue to serve on the frontlines across the country and around the world.”
The current lineup includes Laura Osnes (Bandstand, Cinderella) on Saturday, May 30; Telly Leung (Alladin, Allegiance) on Tuesday, June 2; Tony Award® winner Santino Fontana (Tootsie, CBS’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) on Wednesday, June 3; Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked, “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”) on Wednesday, June 3; Jenn Colella (Come From Away, If / Then) on Thursday, June 4; Lilli Cooper (Tootsie, SpongeBob SquarePants) on Friday, June 5; Chilina Kennedy (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the Band’s Visit) on Saturday, June 6; Lesli Margherita (Matilda the Musical, Zorro the Musical) on Saturday, June 6; Karla Garcia (Hamilton, NBC’s SMASH) on Saturday, June 13; Corey Cott (Newsies, Bandstand) on Wednesday, July 1; and more to be announced.
“I’m looking forward to creating a community through Broadway Banter,” Tony® nominee Jenn Colella shared. “It’s not just a Q&A session… I want to hear my fans express in their own voices how they are feeling during this time and what they are doing to stay creative. I want us to create a dialogue together to lift one another up in this very strange time. The opportunity to ‘hang out’ with my fans and for them to get to know one another makes my heart soar.”
“Broadway performers are among the most resilient and inspiring group of people to lead the conversation. During these unsettling times, they’re natural motivators,” Schneider said. “Different than an in-person Broadway Banter, this series will provide an intimate getting-to-know-you experience for Broadway fans and stars alike – literally inviting each other into their homes. It’s also a wonderful for Broadway performers to have a safe and authentic way to connect with their own fans. Experiences like this are also great for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and especially for 2020 graduation parties.”

Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year.
Helmed by The King’s Speech’s Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Russell Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Anne Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
Principal photography of the film began on 8 March 2012 in France. Filming locations also include Winchester College, Winchester Cathedral Close, Her Majesty’s Naval Base Portsmouth HMNB Portsmouth, Oxford and Pinewood Studios in England. That same day, the film’s release date was moved from 7 December 2012 to 14 December 2012. One week later, Sacha Baron Cohen was officially confirmed to play Monsieur Thénardier and Daniel Huttlestone had been cast as Gavroche.
Also, a list of stage actors including Hannah Waddingham, Hadley Fraser, Daniel Evans and Kerry Ellis have small parts in the film along with actors who previously starred in various productions of Les Misérables.
In December 2012, the world’s longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper’s sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo’s epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and “On My Own”—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime.

It goes without saying that the Internet has had a massive influence over the world and how we interact with it since it first became available for consumers in the early 90s.
Interestingly it was not an immediate smash hit and it would be about a decade before most people in the US had internet in their homes, and at that point it wasn’t even used in all schools, businesses, or government offices. Within a short time-frame, the internet absolutely exploded and by 2005 the future of the internet was certain- it was here to stay. The wide-spread utility of the internet in almost every aspect of society in a variety of contexts has been compared to other fundamental basics such as water and electricity.
No industry, field of study, hobby, or practice has been untouched by the advent of the Internet. Naturally, the world of fine art has been changed forever as well. Aside from various social media websites that have revolutionized the way that artists can advertise their artwork, such as Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter, there are even social websites that are designed with artists in mind, such as DeviantArt, Pintrist, and Instagram. Of Course there are many ways for artists to sell their work online such as through eBay or Etsy, while a significant number of artists have created their own websites to sell their artwork online, or even just to keep a portfolio of their work to display as a gallery.
Without a doubt one major effect this has had on the art world is that it has somewhat diminished the necessity for displaying work in a physical gallery location. Because artists can very easily display their artwork on their own website they can avoid having to pay commission to a gallery, which often can be as much as 50%! Nowadays artists can sell their work for half as much online than they would at a gallery and they end up making just as much money. First, this allows the artist to sell at a lower price which often increases the number of sales they can make, but it also allows them to sell to anyone around the world (who has an internet connection). Rather than displaying your art in the city and relying upon a fairly small audience of people who are the type to go to an art gallery, you can reach a much wider audience of customers who are not really looking to get dressed up and would simply prefer to get the art shipped right to their door and avoid that hassle.
Despite the universal world-wide spread of the internet, it is certainly the case that museums are still where most artwork older than a few decades is kept (other than in people’s homes). Mostly this is because this very old artwork is normally far too precious to be sold and privately owned, and therefore should be protected by professionals so that future generations can enjoy and learn from that art. That said, many museums also curate their exhibits online as well. Of course in many cases this is not as good as seeing the artwork in its physical format. For example, if you looked at the Mona Lisa online you might get the impression that it’s a fairly large portrait because the digital image of it is usually quite close up, but in reality the Mona Lisa is only about 20 inches wide. It’s not that big. On the other hand, when you see it online you can actually take a good look at it, while if you go to see the Mona Lisa in person there will be a crowd of about 300 people all around you holding their phones over each other's heads to get a good picture. Which isn’t particularly enjoyable.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds and how the world of fine art will continue to adapt in the age of the internet.

Veydra cinema primes are small, light-weight, high quality prime lenses that compete in terms of qualitywith some of the high-end lenses on the market.
Initially funded through a Kickstarter project, the Veydra lenses work native with the Micro Four Thirds mount. Veydra lenses are also available in Sony E-mount, Sony FZ mount, and C mount.
There are 5 Veydra primes available: 12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. All these lenses can be used on Micro Four Thirds mounts, while the 25mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm can be used for the larger formats – Super 35 and Full-frame coverage.
This video piece shows the results of filming with the Veydra lenses on location in the far North of Scotland using 3 separate cameras. The high quality images clearly show what is possible to achieve with the Veydra lenses. These represent value compared to more expensive cinema lenses. Some say the Veydra’s stand up to lenses which 3 -5 time more expensive.

The 4 Can’t-Miss Social Media Updates to Kick Off 2018
By Adam Greenwald | December 6, 2017
Big changes in social media start with small app updates. New content discovery is the focus of the latest round of updates rolling out to Facebook, Snapchat and Pinterest, with Twitter struggling to maintain its relevance. These new social media updates could impact your business and content performance in 2018.
How content marketers can use Facebook Explore Feed
As Facebook organic reach for brand pages continues to dwindle, all is not lost for brands on the goliath of social media.
With the introduction of Facebook’s new Explore Feed, users can see and discover posts from their favorite brands and public figures. Like Facebook’s main News Feed, the Explore Feed is algorithm-based and displays posts based on a user’s individual interests and behavior.
Facebook’s Explore Feed is now on desktop, huh? pic.twitter.com/mgXs6tpapH
— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) October 17, 2017
The Explore algorithm creates opportunities for the brands that Facebook determines a user may enjoy based on previous user experiences (page likes, post likes, shares, comments, URL clicks, etc). Explore is explicitly viral, exposing users to second- and third-level connections that they’ve already made with related brand pages and public figure posts.
Explore Feed will also provide new organic and paid content discovery opportunities for brands. However, Explore isn’t going to automatically pull in existing Facebook advertisements to this new feed, so having a solid organic sharing strategy for Facebook is paramount to getting extra exposure in Explore.
Right now the Explore Feed is somewhat hidden and not easily discoverable by an everyday user. Having your brand’s current organic sharing strategy will help your company hit the ground running if and when Explore takes off and gets featured more heavily on Facebook for desktop or mobile. Although unlikely in the near future, a major Facebook redesign isn’t out of the question (there have been tests in six countries for a friends- and family-only feed, as well as a business page feed). Facebook is looking to continue its dominance in social media, and staying on top of potential changes will ensure your brand remains relevant.
Extending the value of Twitter with 280 characters
Twitter recently announced a major change: double tweet length from 140 to 280 characters. For brands, 280 character-tweets present an opportunity to use Twitter as a personality showcase, allowing your company to tell customer stories and avoiding using Twitter as just a place to dump links back to your website.
So is Twitter doubling its tweet length a big deal right now? Probably not, unless you’re tweeting in languages other than English: Some languages take way more characters to form sentences, so sometimes the 140 character limit was prohibitive internationally. Chinese and Japanese characters pack way more punch than some German phrases. And although most Twitter users did not feel hampered by the 140 character limit, double tweet length may just be the gas Twitter needs to grow the channel in 2018.
Long form content still tends to do well. Use the extra tweet length to experiment beyond headlines to entice users from around the web. With double tweet length, your Twitter content has an opportunity to appear in Google searches and live longer than just the moment. So, get creative with your tweets and consider using Twitter more artfully for your business.
The next wave of shoppable pins: Pinterest Pincodes
There’s nothing like a rebrand of existing technology to get people excited. Pinterest is taking a fresh approach on old tech with its new Pincodes—essentially QR Codes 2.0.
Imagine walking into your favorite retail store armed with an existing Pinterest board and checking off the list of items by simply scanning the Pincode on product packaging. Wedding registries, product packaging and viral videos could all benefit from the Pincode. Similar to Facebook’s new Explore Feed, Pincodes are all about discovery and being “inspired by what you’re looking at in the real world.” By allowing users to create Pincodes for their profiles and boards, Pinterest will continue to dominate the visual app space.
So what are they? Pincodes link your brand’s Pinterest content to wherever your audience may give their attention offline. Current examples include Nordstroms’ Pincodes of curated gifts under $100 or Real Simple magazine using Pincodes in their December issue to share exclusive digital content from their Pinterest boards.

For brands marketing to Gen Z: Snapchat redesign
Snapchat is betting big on discovery for its latest—and largest to date—app redesign. Instead of one feed that displays stories from friends mixed with branded content, Snapchat is splitting into two distinct feeds: one for Friends and one for Discovery. After all, as Snapchap co-founder Evan Spiegel puts it: “Your friends aren’t content, they’re relationships.”
Swiping right in the app, Snapchat’s Friends feed will display friends algorithmically based on how much you interact and watch their content. It will also give brands an opportunity to display a quick photo or branded video that appears at the end of a friend’s story.
Swiping left displays Snapchat Discover. Content from influencers and brands populate your feed based on what Snapchat’s algorithms determine you’ll find most interesting. Discover is personalized and presents opportunities for brands to pay to be some of the first content seen. By splitting the Discover feed into it’s own section, Snapchat in essence is creating a new channel for users to explore.
Instead of seeing branded and sponsored content as a skippable sidenote when checking out friend stories on Snapchat, users will navigate to the Discover tab intentionally to watch branded content for longer periods of time. Like Instagram and Facebook Explore, Snapchat is betting that branded content will be seen and shared by more users when they explicitly search out new experiences and content.

What do these new social media options mean for marketing in 2018?
As more digital and social media opportunities present themselves, how does a savvy marketer prioritize what’s a fit for their brand?
Our advice is to start small by experimenting with existing content. You may have an awesome white paper snippet that would now work well as a long Tweet or tweetstorm. Or a collection of customer stories might make a great Pinterest board with a link to a Pincode that’s displayed in your lobby. Keep publishing organic content on Facebook to potentially get included in the Explore Feed.
Show the human side of your business with a Snapchat Story. Start with one post a day, test, see what works. All of these changes are free for now, so get out there and experience them.
At the end of the day, social media is just word of mouth hopped up on steroids. Humans connecting with humans, sharing emotional stories that either inform or entertain. Branded content is all about providing value to your audience, and storytelling and empathy remain the keys to successful content creation.
How that content gets shared and presented in the ever-shifting digital landscape is something none of us can control, but being a good human providing value to other humans is a skillset we can all continue to improve upon.

Leicester City -v- Manchester United
King Power Stadium, Leicester
Saturday 16 October 2021, KO 15:00 BST
Referee: Craig Pawson Assistants: Lee Betts, Dan Robathan
Fourth Official: Andy Madley
VAR: Darren England Assistant VAR: Eddie Smart
Manchester United return to Premier League action, travelling to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in a traditional 3pm kick off on Saturday afternoon. It has been a positive international break for some United players with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick in his last match, extending his international goals record for Portugal. United need to get back to winning ways in the league this weekend, righting the wrongs from the lacklustre 1-1 draw with Everton a fortnight ago. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to start finding the best of his talented team, which is why he’s got so many critics at this time.
United head into a busy period where they will face Leicester (A), Atalanta (H), Liverpool (H) and Tottenham Hotspur (A) before the end of the month, with Atalanta (A), Manchester City (H), Watford (A), Villarreal (A), Chelsea (A) and Arsenal (H) all coming before the end of November. Solskjaer will need to get the right results otherwise the pressure will intensify and the muppets on social media, who thing they are qualified to make adult decisions, will be calling for his head some more. These so-called supporters seem to proclaim that they have all the answers without actually giving any answers other than Ole out, which is pathetic.
Manchester United – Recent Form, Goals Scored and Assists: DWLLWL
Everton 1-1 D, Villarreal 2-1 W, Aston Villa 1-0 L, West Ham United 1-0 L, West Ham United 2-1 W, BSC Young Boys 2-1 L

Assists: 2 – Harvey Barnes, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ricardo Pereira, Youri Tielemans, 1 – Jamie Vardy
Previous meetings with Leicester City and their connections with Manchester United.
United and Leicester have met 30 times in the Premier League. United have won 19 times, drawn eight times with the Foxes winning the remaining three matches. United have scored a total of 63 goals, winning four penalties and scoring three of them. The Foxes have scored just 26 goals, winning two penalties and scoring both of them. The Red Devils have kept 14 clean sheets with the Foxes keeping just two. Discipline has been an issue in this fixture with United players receiving 38 yellow cards and one red card and Leicester players being shown 35 yellow cards and three red cards. This should be a fiery match.
Over the years, there has been many players who have donned the shirts of both United and Leicester, whether just at academy level, or for the first team also. The likes of John Curtis, Mark Robins, Danny Drinkwater, Matty James, Ron-Robert Zieler, Brian Carey, Colin Gibson, John Doherty, Robbie Savage, Keith Gillespie, Ritchie De Laet, Tom Cleverley, Jonny Evans, Tom Lawrence, Michael Keane, Jesse Lingard, Nick Powell, Danny Simpson, Harry Maguire have all played for both teams. Maguire is perhaps the most expensive player to be involved in a transfer with his £80 million fee paid in the summer of 2019. There were some talented played named here.
Team News: Leicester have three players ruled out and one doubt with United having one player out through injury, two still on international break but up to three returning to action from injury.
Raphael Varane (Groin) is the main injury for United at this time and he will be out for a few weeks, which is a major blow for the club. Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo have returned to training with Rashford training for a number of weeks, however, Harry Maguire still seems to be out of action. Solskjaer will also be without both Fred and Edinson Cavani as Brazil and Uruguay face each other in a World Cup qualifier on Friday evening, in South America, so both will be missing from this match, which is hardly a blow but it means that United will need to set up differently and possible even play different players, which could be a good thing.
Wesley Fofana (Ankle), Wilfred Ndidi (Thigh) and James Justin (Knee) have all been ruled out of the clash with United at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The was once a time that with Ndidi missing, it could be costly for the Foxes, but with the addition of Boubakary Soumare this summer, the Foxes are fine without him. Jonny Evans (Ankle) has a 50% chance being available to face his former club, but will no doubt be subject to a late fitness in order to gain a place in the squad. Leicester will be hoping he is fit as he is one of the best central defenders at the club – he could be key for the Foxes.
Predicted Starting XI: Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Fred and Edinson Cavani all set to miss clash with the Foxes. Solskjaer will need to get his team playing a better brand of attacking football.
United started the season in good form, which has returned but in fits and starts but of late, they seem to have been lucky – which is not ideal. Solskjaer will need to find the right balance in the squad that he currently has in order to get the results that are needed to guide United back to glory, which is the next step for the club after almost eight seasons out of a proper title race. Solskjaer and his players know what they need to do in order to achieve things and they will need to work hard to achieve that – after all, United need to start winning trophies so we can see that they mean nothing to the so-called fans who incessantly moan on Twitter about Solskjaer.
Against Leicester, I think David De Gea will keep his place in goal as Dean Henderson has not had a good enough run at first team football this season, which could come in the Champions League against Atalanta. With both Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane injured, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly will partner in the centre of the defence with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw in the fullback positions. A three-man midfield consisting of Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek could be interesting. In attack, Cristiano Ronaldo will lead the line with Marcus Rashford making his comeback and Jadon Sancho also starting.
Match Prediction: The Foxes were tough to beat last season but their form this season has not been the greatest. United will need to dig deep and find the momentum to get them through October.
Last season, at the King Power Stadium in a match that was played on Boxing Day, United drew 2-2 with the Foxes. Marcus Rashford opened up the scoring in the 23rd minute of the match, assisted by Bruno Fernandes. Harvey Barnes equalised eight minutes later, assisted by James Maddison. Then Fernandes, assisted by Edinson Cavani, scored what should have been the winner in the match in the 79th minute but an Axel Tuanzebe own goal in the 85th minute of the match saw the two sides grab a point each, which was not ideal for either at that time – although Leicester still bottled the Champions League places – for a second time.
At Old Trafford, Leicester beat United 2-1 last season. Luke Thomas, assisted by Youri Tielemans opened the scoring in the tenth minute of the match but Mason Greenwood, assisted by Amad Diallo equalised five minutes later. It was an even match from there but Çaglar Söyüncü assisted by Marc Albrighton found the winner in the 66th minute of the match, which was a blow for United – but they did finish above Leicester as they fell out of the top four for the second time in two seasons. Solskjaer will be seeking to find some form against Leicester this season, at least go for the double over the midlands club.
Leicester City 1-3 Manchester United

Researchers have developed computer algorithms that may be able to predict certain aspects of cognitive change in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The prediction models, constructed using data from an electronic, self-administered test of information processing speed given MS patients, might accurately identify those likely to experience cognitive worsening over a one-year period. "If this degree of accuracy is further confirmed with longer follow-ups, the ability to foresee future cognitive deterioration in a specific MS patient could become a reality in clinical practice," the scientists wrote. A later start with high efficacy disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) also was seen to be of "top importance" in all predictive models of likely cognitive loss. Electronic MS cognitive test of information processing speed used. The study, "Predictive models of Multiple Sclerosis-related cognitive performance using routine clinical practice predictors," was published in Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders. Cognitive dysfunction can be a common MS symptom, affecting up to half of all patients. It can have a significant impact on life, limiting a person's ability to participate in work and other activities. However, it is difficult for doctors to adequately assess cognition during routine appointments, mostly because the necessary assessments are time consuming. As such, large and long-term datasets on cognitive trajectories and risk factors for cognitive decline in MS are lacking, the study's researchers noted. Computer-based self-assessments offer a way to help overcome these limitations. They allow for the collection of much more data, which can be used to develop machine learning algorithms for predicting cognitive decline. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence in which an algorithm learns to predict certain outcomes from large amounts of data. While often investigated for its utility in predicting MS severity and progression, it's less frequently used to look at cognition. Scientists at university hospitals in Spain aimed to develop feasible machine learning models, using measures obtained in routine clinical practice, to predict cognitive evolution in MS. As part of an ongoing longitudinal study since 2019, they gave an annual electronic-based information processing speed test (PST) monitor cognitive function in MS patients at three Madrid clinics. This test is taken on a tablet and designed to be similar to the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), an evaluation of information processing speed used in the clinic. Study findings then were used to develop a machine learning algorithm for predicting cognitive performance. Data were analyzed from 1,184 MS patients with a one-year PST follow-up assessment after their initial test. Overall, 187 patients (15.8%) saw a worsening in PST performance at the one-year mark, defined as a reduction of at least 10% on raw processing speed test scores. The remaining majority of patients were determined to have stable cognitive function. People who experienced cognitive decline were older, had been living with MS longer, had lower starting (baseline) cognitive function, worse baseline disability, and were more likely to have a progressive disease course. They also tended to start treatment with high efficacy DMTs later in their disease course, the researchers noted. Data from 70% of participants were used to develop machine learning algorithms for predicting cognitive worsening or stability, which were then validated in the remaining 30% of patients. Predictive accuracy of two models reported to be about 90% Of six learning models tested, two were identified as having the highest predictive accuracy, at around 90%. Given the broad demographic and clinical differences between patients who worsened and those who did not, no particular feature was generally considered more important than others at predicting a person's cognitive outcomes. The timing of high-efficacy DMT initiation, however, was identified as one of the most important predictors across the machine learning models. "This result confirms that any predictive model of MS-related cognitive evolution must account for the effect of disease-modifying therapies on cognition, precisely a measure that reflects the [high-efficacy DMT] timing related to the disease onset," the researchers wrote. Other factors that may have contributed included baseline cognitive performance, age at first PST, and disease duration. "Our results demonstrate the possibility of predicting cognitive worsening using routine clinical predictors," the researchers wrote. The team noted that the study was limited by the relatively short patient follow-up time, which should be addressed in future long-term studies, as well as the use of only one type of cognitive test. Certain clinical data related to co-existing conditions, relapses, and brain lesions also were lacking.
