Claudia Anne Whitney Quinn, age 81, died peacefully at her home in Enfield CT, surrounded by family and friends on June 8, 2023. She is predeceased by her brother Bernard. She is survived by her sister, Dianne, by her three children and their spouses: Kiminette and Paul, Brett and Lisa, Shawn and Dixie; her 5 grandchildren: Philip, Christopher, Whitney, Olivia, and Sam; 3 great grandchildren, and too many friends to count.
Claudia was born in Stafford Springs, CT in 1942, to parents Louise and Ernest Whitney. She married young and had three children with her late husband Philip F. Quinn. The greatest loves of her life were her family and her relationship with her God, Jehovah. She officially became one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1971 and was able to become a full-time minister in 1992. She spent the last 50+ years doing what she loved--teaching others about her God. She touched the lives of many people in the years that she spent in her preaching and teaching work and loved her spiritual brothers and sisters dearly. She supported herself in her ministry as a window cleaner. She loved swimming, skiing, traveling, and a meticulously manicured lawn. She worked on many construction projects and was a skilled painter. She had more energy than all the young ones and loved to be productive. She brought much joy and love to those who knew her and will be greatly missed.
A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 322 North Maple Street, Enfield CT, 06082 on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 2:00 PM.

Amazon is committed to providing access to computer science education for 2 million students, across almost 8,000 U.S. schools, by the end of the 2022–2023 academic year.
Through Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon aims to inspire millions of students from underserved and historically underrepresented communities to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. The program helps students build skills in computer science and coding, preparing them to obtain jobs that will be in high-demand in the near future.
Nearly all Amazon Future Engineer schools serve a student body with a significant percentage of students from historically underrepresented communities in the technology industry. Further, more than 80% are Title I eligible, indicating a high percentage of the school’s students come from families who need financial assistance.
While the Amazon Future Engineer program has made tremendous progress since it began in 2019, studies show that only about half of U.S. high schools offer computer science courses. Rural, urban, and economically disadvantaged schools with Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students are even less likely to offer the curriculum.
“Every young person should have equitable access to the education they need to reach their full potential,” said Victor Reinoso, global director of philanthropic education initiatives at Amazon. “At Amazon, we are committed to creating a diverse pipeline of tech students and hiring homegrown talent to help keep our communities strong for years to come.”
Amazon Future Engineer increases student access to computer science education in three ways:
- Funds high-quality computer science curriculum and educator professional learning to help school districts implement sustainable K–12 computer science initiatives. As part of this effort, Amazon funds the development of customized curriculum that accounts for the unique cultural perspectives, interests, and experiences of Black, Latino, Native American (BLNA) students. For instance, Amazon Future Engineer committed $2.25 million to support Indigenous schools in accessing culturally responsive computer science curriculums.
- Offers virtual class chats, career tours, and project-based learning modules that bring role models to classrooms to help students explore computer science through real-world experiences.
- Provides college scholarships, paid internships, and industry mentors, so students can conceptualize their path forward in the industry.
"Our partnership with Amazon represents a shared commitment to increase access to equity-driven initiatives that will help close digital learning gaps by ensuring computer science opportunities for students in all communities,” said Lien Diaz, interim executive director and board member of BootUp PD, a nonprofit professional development provider specializing in elementary school education. “It is the first ongoing national sponsorship focused on implementing sustainable, districtwide computer science. We’re extremely proud to be a part of something that will have a measurable, positive impact for decades to come.”
Amazon Future Engineer is currently available in Canada, France, Germany, India, the UK and U.S. In 2022, the program reached 3.2 million students from underrepresented communities globally with real-world-inspired virtual and hands-on computer science project learning.

Me comming from an Armenian Apostolic/orthodox family do lent the following way:
40 days before Easter, no animal products. that would include meat, poultry, fish, cheese, milk, etc
basically anything that comes from an animal, whether that animal had to be killed for it or not, is banned. for 40 days. and i just cant do that i mean i cant eat salads and fruits and vegeatvels for 40 days
how does the catholic lent work?July 1, 2009 at 11:09 pm #9378About Catholics TeamKeymaster
As far as dietary restrictions are concerned it’s just no meat on the Friday’s during Lent.July 2, 2009 at 1:13 am #9379AnonymousInactive
Well, Ash Wednesday and Fridays during lent.
The Orthodox include eggs, oil, butter, etc in the prohibited foods during lent. The Catholic Church included these in the prohibited food categories centuries ago, but has loosened the restricitions. That however does not exempt one from moderation at the table during lent, nor either giving something up, or doing some extra charitable acts during the season. Advent is also treated like a “Mini” Lent, and should be observed in the same basic manner in order to prepare our souls for the coming of our Lord.July 20, 2012 at 3:24 pm #10435AnonymousInactive
I have read elsewhere that penance or abstinence of meat should be observed on all Fridays during the year. Is this the church stand?July 24, 2012 at 10:46 pm #10436AnonymousInactive
Pope Paul VI relaxed the restrictions, he allowed Catholics of the Latin Rite to consume meat on Fridays (outside of Lent) if they did not find it spiritually helpful, however he did require that they substitute the abstaining from Meat on Friday be replaced by some other suitable act of penance and mortification, which would remind us of the passion and death of our Lord on the original Good Friday (or as the Orthodox and Eastern Rite Catholics call it Great Friday)
By default anyone who does not participate in another form of mortification of their own choosing, is still bound to abstain from meat, as they have not substituted the abstinence with another act.

It’s not yet available but Google Chrome OS 100 is heading to Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and Chromebases soon. Rather than wait for the official rollout, Google on Wednesday shared details of the software update on its blog. There are plenty of new features, although I’ve shared some of them prior, that you’ll see in the Stable Channel version of Chrome OS 100.
The Chrome OS Launcher is vastly improved
I’ve been using Google’s Chrome OS productivity launcher feature for quite a while now and I love it. And it finally addresses my complaint from 2020 that the Chrome OS Launcher needed a usability update.
Prior to Chrome OS 100 you needed to enable an experimental flag for this experience. You won’t have to after your next software update. And once you have it, you’ll appreciate the improved layout and automatic, or custom, organization.
But the new Launcher isn’t just eye candy, according to Google:
Before, Launcher would show you a short preview of your search result. Now, it will show even more information — so you can check the weather or find that celebrity name, all without leaving Launcher. You can also quickly search for Chromebook shortcuts, like how to take a screenshot or turn on caps lock.
Editing text with Dictation
If you use the native Dictation feature of Chrome OS, you know you can speak instead of type for input. Chrome OS 100 adds the editing of text via voice as well.
I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t tell how well it works. However, this is definitely a feature that can save a ton of editing time, depending on the implementation.
GIF creation in the Chrome OS 100 Camera app
I personally have no need for this next feature but I think many will find it fun. The Camera app has a new photo mode for creating animated GIFs in Chrome OS. You can record a five-second animation to share with your friends and family.
An updated Android VM is coming soon
On ChromeOS.dev, Google mentioned an update regarding Android apps on Chrome OS devices:
The latest version of ARC, ARCVM, launched in 2021 with Android 11 and is currently rolling out to devices. As you may guess from the name, it uses virtual machines (VM) to enhance the isolation of the Android environment in order to improve security and maintainability.
What that means is a major change to the underlying Android runtime environment that Chromebooks have used in the past. Here’s a graphic illustrating the change.
The new ARCVM adds the same VM technology used for Linux on a Chromebook and places Android apps in their own virtual machine.
By removing Android patches to the Chrome OS Kernel under the old method, Android can quickly and easily be patched or updated. The approach is similar to how Google Chrome is getting unbundled from Chrome OS itself.
But wait there’s more in Chrome OS 100
These are the highlighted features from Google’s perspective, along with the new Family Link for school accounts. However, if you’ve followed my Chrome OS release news articles in the past, you’ll know there are typically a bunch of other features included.
Many of these are experimental, such as the animated screen savers in Chrome OS 100 that I’m using. Oh and there’s the Calendar quick events feature I mentioned prior as well.
So once Google Chrome OS 100 is released to the Stable Channel, I’ll do my standard roundup of features that I find. Stay tuned!

Both American Heart Month and Black History Month are celebrated in February. While one provides an important opportunity to focus on the burden of cardiovascular disease, the other celebrates the contributions of African Americans over the course of history. In this month’s installment of Harold on History, I think it’s fitting to combine the two and focus on some of the pioneering African American physicians who have made seminal contributions to transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health.
Daniel Hale Williams, MD (1856-1931): Williams was one of Chicago’s first African American physicians upon his graduation from Northwestern Medical School in 1883. In 1891, he founded Chicago’s Provident Hospital and Training School for Nurses which became the first black-owned and operated non-segregated hospital in the U.S. that also provided education and training for black physicians and nurses. In 1893, Williams was one of the first physicians to perform successful open-heart surgery, operating on the pericardium to repair a stab wound to the chest. Two years later, he founded the National Medical Association as a professional organization for black medical practitioners. He became a charter member and the first African American physician in the American College of Surgeons in 1913.

Edward William Hawthorne, MD, PhD, FACC (1920-1986): A professor and head of the department of physiology at Howard University and dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Hawthorne pioneered the use of large animal research in cardiovascular physiology and performed seminal investigations in myocardial contractility and cardiac muscle mechanics. He was a nationally recognized specialist in cardiovascular research and the causes of hypertension.

John Beauregard Johnson, MD, FACC (1908-1972): A professor and head of the Howard University Department of Medicine in 1949, Johnson was a pioneer in using angiocardiography and cardiac catheterization as diagnostic tools. He was also one of the first cardiologists to focus on the disparate effects of hypertension among African Americans. Johnson is also recognized as the first African American physician to be elected as a Fellow of ACC.
Vivien Theodore Thomas, MD (1910 -1985): Without any education past high school, Thomas rose above poverty and racism to become a cardiac surgery pioneer and a teacher of operative techniques to many of the country’s most prominent surgeons. As a surgical technician, Thomas developed the procedures used to treat blue baby syndrome in the 1940s. He was the assistant to surgeon Alfred Blalock, MD, in Blalock’s experimental animal laboratory at Vanderbilt and later at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. In 1976, he was awarded an honorary doctorate and named an instructor of surgery for Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Daniel D. Savage, MD, PhD, FACC (1944-1990): An epidemiologist, researcher and author, Savage played a pivotal role in the establishment and operation of the minority section of the Framingham Heart Study. He is also credited for the establishment of left ventricular hypertrophy as an independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death.
Elijah Saunders, MD, FACC (1935-2015): Saunders literally wrote the book on hypertension in African Americans. He is also recognized for his pioneering patient education efforts to raise awareness of high blood pressure in churches and barbershops throughout the state of Maryland.
Edward Sawyer Cooper, MD: Cooper was the first African American to receive tenure as a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1972. He was elected as the first African American President of the American Heart Association in 1992 and chaired the writing committee that produced the scientific statement on Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke in African-American and Other Racial Minorities.
Charles L. Curry, MD, FACC: The first African American to receive training in cardiology at Duke University, Curry also became the first African American to receive board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine. He served as director of cardiology at Howard University for 30 years and was the first African American to serve on ACC’s Board of Trustees.
Richard Allen Williams, MD, FACC: Williams founded the Association of Black Cardiologists in 1974 with a focus on promoting the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, including stroke, in African Americans and other minorities and to achieve health equity through the elimination of disparities in all people of color. He also authored the 900-page Textbook of Black-Related Diseases in 1975, which detailed medical conditions unique to African Americans.
Edith Irby Jones, MD: Admitted to the University of Arkansas College of Medicine in 1948, Jones was the first African American to enroll in an all-white medical school in the South. In 1959, she became the first African American female resident in the Baylor College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals in Houston. In 1985 she was elected as the first female president of the National Medical Association. She has been a vocal advocate against health care disparities.
Jay Brown, MD, FACC (1944-1994): As chief of cardiology at Harlem Hospital in New York City, Brown was credited with rebuilding Harlem Hospital’s acute coronary care unit. He was the project director for the Heart of Harlem Healthy Heart Program and developed new approaches to preventing cardiovascular disease in inner-city areas ranging from church-based health programs to promotion of healthy foods in groceries and restaurants.
Kim Allan Williams Sr, MD, MACC: Williams is the first African American president of the ACC. He is currently the James B. Herrick, MD, Professor of Heart Research and chief of cardiology at Rush Medical College in Chicago. He also served as chair of cardiology at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, where he started the Urban Cardiology Initiative. He developed the HEART Program (Helping Everyone Assess Risk Today) to screen churches and community groups for heart disease and stroke risk and has been a major advocate to reduce the devastating effects of cardiovascular disease within the African American community.
Gary H. Gibbons, MD: Gibbons is director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the third largest institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He previously served as chair of the Department of Physiology, and professor of physiology and medicine at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta. He is recognized for his work on cardiovascular health of minority populations and focus on discovering novel mediators of vascular disease.
Elizabeth Odilile Ofili, MBBS, MPH, FACC: A nationally and internationally recognized clinician scientist who has focused on cardiovascular disparities and women’s health, Ofili was the first female president of the Association of Black Cardiologists. She led the initiative to implement the landmark African American Heart Failure Trial (AHEFT), the findings of which led to a change in practice guidelines for the treatment of heart failure in African Americans. She is currently director and senior associate dean at the Clinical Research Center and Clinical and Translational Research at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA.
Jennifer Mieres, MD, FACC: One of the leading contemporary experts and patient advocates in the field of cardiovascular disease in women, Mieres is associate dean of faculty affairs at Northwell Health. She also served as the first female president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. She received the ACC’s 2014 Women in Cardiology mentoring award for her dedication and commitment to mentoring women in cardiology.
Hannah Valantine, MD: Valantine is first-ever chief officer for Scientific Workforce Diversity at NIH. Her role is to lead NIH’s effort to diversify the biomedical research workforce by developing a vision and comprehensive strategy to expand recruitment and retention, and promote inclusiveness and equity throughout the biomedical research enterprise. Prior to NIH, Valantine was at Stanford University where she served as senior associate dean for diversity and leadership at Stanford School of Medicine, and professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University Medical Center.
This list is by no means comprehensive. Celebrate African Americans in cardiology on Twitter by sharing your favorite photo. Use #TheFaceOfCardiology and #HeartMonth in your posts. Don’t forget to tag @ACCInTouch.

Decide the essentials
It’s common wisdom that a clear workspace is ideal for a clear mind, but it’s easy to accumulate stuff and things in your home office or workspace. As you begin to reimagine your workspace, decide what you really need to take with you. Clear away everything you don’t regularly use; you may be surprised at what a simple setup you can get by with.
Convert that room
Once you know what you’re bringing with you into your new home office, it’s time to get to it. If you’re fortunate enough to have a spare room, now is the perfect time to convert it into a multi-functional home office. Over the course of a weekend, you can repaint the walls, reorganise the furniture, set up your desk, and create your ideal home office. Having pared down your workspace in the previous step, you’ll only need storage for your essentials, creating a more spacious and efficient environment.
No room? No problem!
Of course, many people don’t have the luxury of an extra room and still need to work from home – but the perfect home office is still within reach for these people. Working from the same table you eat on can be inconvenient at the best of times, so it’s worth considering setting up a dedicated workspace. Even if you can’t dedicate an entire room to home working, most people can still find somewhere to set up a desk.
None of this suggests that you don’t already know how to work from home, but rather that it’s far more comfortable, and many people feel more productive with a dedicated workspace. It helps people separate “home” and “work” life while they’re taking place under one roof.
If you’re struggling to see where a small desk might fit, consider putting some less-used items of furniture in self-storage – it’s cheaper and easier than you might imagine – until you’re back in the office. Once you’ve made room and set up a desk, arrange your storage so that everything you need on a day-to-day basis is within reach, and have somewhere to store items that aren’t in use, so your desk doesn’t get cluttered.
Embrace the outdoors
Many people overlook their gardens when it comes to making the most of their space, so the last of our home office tips focus on the outdoors. A garden shed is an excellent place to store excess clutter – just be sure that you aren’t storing anything that is particularly temperature-sensitive or risks damage if it gets a little damp. If you’re storing documents in a shed, be sure to properly box them and perhaps toss in a few dehumidification packets. The dehumidification packets are available cheaply online, and your local Access Self Storage can provide you with all of the boxes and packing material you’ll ever need.
Download our free working from home guide
If you’re looking for more tips, you can download the Working From Home Guide for free.
We also launched our Working from Home Offer, which includes half-price storage for up to 12 weeks and 20% off packaging for a limited time only. We hope that this will make life easier if you’re decluttering or redesigning your home workspace.

Chicago Bulls Travel to Sacramento to Face the Kings
As the Chicago Bulls prepare to face the Kings, we wonder about their performances lately. It would seem that they’ve had inconsistencies on both sides of the basketball. The good news is they have superstars Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan.
Were it not for them; the Bulls would be in much worse shape. This matchup against the Kings is a much more favorable matchup.
The Sacramento Kings are on the outskirts of the Western Conference as of today. They’ll likely miss the playoffs considering they’re so far away from the No.10 spot.
However, this doesn’t mean they won’t do their best to string together a few wins. Taking down the Chicago Bulls will be a big morale boost. They’ll have to rely on De’Aaron Fox to help them in their quest today.
Game Preview: Chicago Bulls at Sacramento Kings March 14th
It’s no secret that Chicago has one of the best offenses in the NBA, averaging 112.45 points per game. However, it’s been their defense that concerns us the most over recent weeks.
Not long ago, the Bulls went on a four-game losing streak, including a 130-124 loss to the Hawks. These kinds of games are guaranteed to see the Bulls lose their position in the Eastern Conference.
The Sacramento Kings are on quite the losing streak themselves, and things are getting worse. Domantas Sabonis has also been suspended after an altercation with a referee.
With their season falling apart, a win here could get everyone’s spirits up. The Kings have a strong offense, led by De’Aaron Fox. Averaging 110.01 points per game, they’ll need it all on Monday.
Chicago Bulls at Sacramento Kings Betting Prediction
These two teams last faced off on February 16th, 2022. The Bulls came in as six-point favorites and won the game 125-118. Considering that wasn’t very long ago, the margin and points spread will likely be the same.
The Bulls have a great record against the spread this year but have fallen short when traveling. Still, we have to trust that they can get a win on the road here.
During their losing streak, the Bulls had a tough time at the sportsbook as well. It seems as if they’ve shaken off the cobwebs and are ready to get back to winning. Considering Domantas Sabonis is out for the Kings, they should have a better chance here.
The spread being around six points is pretty good as well. It’ll be helpful since Chicago’s defense has had trouble.
We’d definitely take the over in this game, especially with how both teams have performed recently. In their games against each other, they’ve hit the over six times in ten games.
This season, both of these teams have gone over more times than they’ve gone under. The smartest bet in this one is taking the Chicago Bulls and the over.

Something unexpected happened at our 2023 Delegates Assembly...
This almost never happens with ACTION events: even more people showed up to our Delegates' Assembly than RSVP'd!
Our hearts were moved by the presence of Tulsans who are hungry to connect, learn, and work together to address a number of crises facing our community.
Here were the outcomes:
In total, 150 diverse people from 17 institutions gathered to hear personal stories and learn about key issues impacting our families.
The overarching issues we've identified are:
After ratifying our issues agenda for this year, member institutions collectively pledged $20,000 toward building relational power to take action together.
Then, we learned about promising legislation to protect Oklahoma tenants and expand driver's license eligibility from Sabine Brown and Gabriela Ramirez-Perez of OK Policy Institute. We will be sharing more information and mobilizing around those bills in the coming weeks.
Lastly, nearly 60 people expressed interest in learning more about our work and joining Action Teams!
Below are some pics from the event (courtesy of 13-year-old Ava from All Souls Unitarian Church):

This might be your first time running, or a return to running. The less running you've done recently, the more you can expect to improve. However, you're also at a higher risk for injury by doing too much too soon. This is why it is important to start with a good aerobic base.
Beginners shouldn't worry about how many miles to run; they should begin by running for time, not distance.
For starters, purchase a good pair of running shoes designed for your arch and stride type. If you're not sure which type of shoe you need, visit a local running specialty store to get fitted properly. Good socks are as important as good shoes. Look for socks that are seam-free, and ones that manage moisture so you won't get blisters.
Your Pre-Run Routine
Before you start a run, you need a good warm-up routine, which includes dynamic stretching to get the blood flowing. Leave the static stretching for the post-run routine. Dynamic stretching includes walking lunges, butt kicks, high knees and toy soldiers—straight-leg kicks that stretch the hamstrings. Dynamic stretching will increase your flexibility and help prevent injuries by strengthening your muscles and joints. After doing some dynamic stretching, walk briskly for five minutes, then speed up to a comfortable jogging or running pace.
Your First Runs
You can start your aerobic base building by doing a run/walk plan, like the successful Couch to 5K plan. A good first week of running is 20 to 30 minutes total of jogging/running/walking three times a week. Be sure to space your training days throughout the week to give yourself a chance to recover and rest.
Don't worry about how fast you are running. Speed will come later once your aerobic base has improved. Just increase the duration of your runs gradually. It is important that your first runs should be completed at an effort and pace that is easy and comfortable. Most beginners don't know what an easy or comfortable pace should be so they tend to push too hard. A comfortable pace is one you feel confident you can sustain for the duration of your run. It is better to run too slow and finish feeling like you could have gone longer or faster, rather than finishing exhausted. A simple way to determine your pace and effort is to listen to your breathing. If you aren't gasping for air and you can talk while you're running, then your pace is just right.
Don't be afraid to walk. Walking breaks the run into smaller, more doable pieces. These breaks will allow you to run longer and faster. Walking breaks work best if you walk for one to five minutes.
When you finish your first run, don't stop suddenly. Instead, walk for another five minutes to cool down gradually.

The drums have long been beating about climate change. Most of us have repeatedly heard the message of how every person can reduce their contribution to greenhouse gases through transportation and energy efficiency. But as individuals, as companies, as organizations and public agencies, what more can we do than changing light bulbs and driving more fuel efficient vehicles? What else can cause real, measurable reductions in the emissions course that the world is currently following? One overlooked area may surprise you.
Food – that’s right, food. More specifically, it’s the wasting of food that is overlooked. It’s generally understood that growing and producing food requires a certain amount of energy input, which results in greenhouse gas emissions; but it is the waste of food that has recently gained international attention as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on Natural Resources report, released by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, provides a comprehensive overview of the volume of wasted food, and the related impacts of this to loss of land, water and biodiversity. Impacts on climate change, as well as estimates on the direct cost of food wastage are also discussed.
In preparing the report, the FAO assessed the environmental impact of food wastage at a regional level and by commodity type in order to develop an understanding of the global impact, as well as identify regional and commodity hotspots.
The magnitude of the waste is astounding. According to the FAO report, approximately one-third of food produced for human consumption goes to waste, calculated as approximately 1.4 billion tons (1.3 Gtonnes) of edible food with another almost 1.8 billion tons (1.6 Gtonnes) of “primary product equivalents” which includes non-edible parts. This level of waste is equivalent to $750 billion dollars of food wasted annually, not to mention the hefty environmental toll. For greenhouse gas specifically, the emissions associated with the wasted food was estimated to be 3.3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2007. For reference, it is estimated that global greenhouse gas emissions were 49 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2004.
Where is Food Wasted?
Food produced for human consumption is wasted pretty much every step of the way, from food production, processing, marking and consumption stages. But, as pointed out in the report, the farther along in the process, the greater the environmental impact of food waste. Think about it, the farther along in the process for a pound of beef is, the more refrigeration, transportation, processing activity and packaging is used. This sheds a whole new perspective on the food in one’s pantry, counter or refrigerator.
Following the supply chain from agricultural production to consumption, the worldwide trend shows that most food is lost during agricultural production (about a third), less during post-harvest and storage, and the least volume of food is lost during processing. From processing, the volume of waste increases during distribution and even more during consumption. However, a breakdown of loss by region shows that waste occurence is quite different depending on where you live. In Europe, North America and Oceana, and industrialized Asia lead the pack on wasting food at the end of the process, with at least one-third of waste occurring at the consumption stage. In contrast, South and Southeast Asia wastes less than 5 percent of food at the consumption stage.
What’s the Impact?
Besides the financial impact ($750 billion dollars lost annually to food wastage), issues of food security or world-wide demand for food, food wastage also generates unnecessary environmental impacts. As said, food waste is estimated to generate 3.3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents in 2007 alone. That estimate does not include emissions from land use change. Compared to the 2004 global emissions inventory, food waste accounts for about 7 percent of the global inventory; and that’s just greenhouse gases.
The FAO report also examined the global water footprint of food wastage and found that food waste in 2007 accounted for 3.6 times the blue water footprint of total USA consumption, or about the volume of the annual discharge of the Volga River. It’s estimated that about 28 percent of the world’s land in agricultural production in 2007 were for commodities that were ultimately wasted. What that means for biodiversity is that agricultural land currently utilized to grow or produce food for human consumption aren’t being fully realized due to waste. Additional conversion of land to agricultural use could be partially reduced through reduction in food waste.
What to Do?
There are both economic and environmental incentives to change the current status of food waste, and waste reduction can occur on multiple fronts – from the home, institutions - such as schools, hospitals and prisons - by industry and by government agencies at all levels. Right here, right now, even the simple step of planning meals, reviewing food purchases versus consumption, and utilizing food prepared at home before it goes bad will have a positive impact. The three largest commodities contributing to the carbon footprint of wasted food are cereals, meats and vegetables. These three alone accounts for more than 60 percent of the greenhouse gas inventory for each region. In addition, the consumption phase of the food chain accounts for over 35 percent of the global greenhouse gas footprint of food waste. Targeting the consumption phase waste of cereals, meats and vegetables is something each of us can do today.
The FAO report breaks down food waste by region, by commodity, by carbon footprint, by food supply chain-phase. One can look through the report, find the parameters applicable to their industry, location or interests, and start the process of reducing food waste.

The broker is pretty much transparent with its pricing. Here are charges around the opening and maintaining a trading and demat account:
Account Opening Charges
Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC)
₹300 + GST/ annum (this amount is charged quarterly)
You can apply for the Fyers Demat Account by submitting all the relevant documents and details.
Since you can earn profit with Fyers Intraday trading, but do you know that you can multiply your profit by availing the benefit of Fyers Margin.
Being a discount broker offers many advantages in brokerage, but along with this to gain more fame it comes up with the leverage of margin trading.
This helps you to trade more in the particular stock even with limited funding.
Specifically for the intraday trade, the broker provides a margin of up to 16 times. Thus if you are having ₹1000 in your hand, then after maintaining a minimum initial margin in your account, you can trade up to the value of ₹16000.
Now let’s assume that you are willing to trade in a stock having a share price of ₹100 per share. Then in ₹1000, you can trade in 10 stocks, but with 16000, you can actually 160 stocks.
So here if the stock price rises to ₹20. So by selling a share at ₹20 each you can gain ₹3200 unlike the ₹200 that you made with the limited fund (₹1000) in your hand.
Apart from the intraday, you can avail a little margin for other segments like equity, delivery, futures (up to 4x), options (up to 4x).
To make the process seamless, the broker comes up with the new Fyers Single Margin Account that make it easy for traders to reap the leverage in equity and commodity segments without any hassle.
Apart from the trading platforms mentioned above, the discount stock broker provides multiple calculators as well for the usage by the clients and users. These are as follows:
Fyers Option Calculator
This tool is useful for beginners or small investors that are looking for some assistance in setting up strategies for their investments.
With this tool, clients can find the most optimal strategies that may go well with their preferred industry and stock types. Clients have the option to choose from 44 possible options strategies including 2,3 as well as 4 legged options strategies.
By the look of this, it might be looking a lot of technical – which is true. But the way a beginner can learn and understand these strategies is simply amazing.
The margin facility takes minimal inputs from the users and assists with the calculation of margin across different segments. These exposure values can also be calculated at specific stock levels at a given price.
The other similar tools add a lot of value to the customer experience and Fyers review as well. They are as follows:
Before we conclude, here are some of the major concerns of using the services of this discount stockbroker:
Relevantly new in the market, so less trust gained.
Investment in bonds or Insurance not possible.
No toll-free customer service available.
“Funds Transfers using trading platforms will cost you INR 10 per transfer. The payout can be requested through many trading platforms of Fyers or by using the back-office.”
Fyers is one of those stockbrokers that has evolved pretty well in quick time. Most of its growth’s credit goes to its focus on trading platforms across devices to go along with quick customer service.
Its trading platforms have been appreciated a lot and the clients appreciate the innovative and technologically advanced approach. Although they need some alterations, they are decent performers in the race.
At the same time, they must be making sure to cover as many financial trading products as possible for their clients. Further, they can also introduce some monthly fixed brokerage plans for their clients.
Overall it certainly is one of the reasonable performing and well-growing stock brokers in India right now and certainly is a potential choice for beginners and small traders. That was all about the broker in the Fyers review.
Here are a few frequently asked questions about Fyers Securities you must be aware of:
Is Fyers a good broker for new traders or beginners?
First of all, we need to understand what exactly are beginners looking for?
Assistance in investing
Quick customer service
It is one of the very few stockbrokers that is able to provide all of this. With thematic investing, users actually do not need to perform any analysis on their own as the method is meant to guide users directly into specific investment pools.
Then, the broker is able to provide decent customer service, high-performance analysis tools (such as Scanners, heatmaps, calculators, etc) at a pretty much low brokerage.
All of this points to the fact that yes, this broker is one of the suitable ones in India.
2. How safe is Fyers? Is it a reliable stockbroker?
Although the broker is a new addition to the category of discount stock brokers in India, the firm and its management seem to have a clear understanding of where it is leading to. It provides clear propositions to its clients and cuts away any high-cost frills that help them to avoid levying high brokerage charges on its clients.
The web application is one grey area in its overall value system that certainly needs to be fixed but on a general note, Fyers is certainly one of the reliable stock brokers that you can look out for.
3. How can I transfer my shares from Upstox to Fyers?
You can transfer your shares from any stockbroker to Fyers very easily. You can opt for the offline way where you need to fill in the slip, submit it to your current broker with the mention of DP Id of Fyers. There is an online way to perform this process as well.
4. How are the trading platforms provided by Fyers?
The discount broker is known for its decent performing trading platforms across devices (minus the web version, which needs some improvement in a few aspects). The broker offers Fyers One, a terminal-based software that is quite exhaustive in its features to go along with Fyers Markets, a decent designed, developed, and maintained mobile trading app.
5. What are the extra features available on the Fyers trading platform?
Although its web-based application is minimalistic in nature, the other trading platforms of the broker do provide some unique features, especially for analysis. Some of those features include:
More than 65 technical indicators
Sector, index, stock, industry level heatmaps
Buy and Sell signals
Stock Screeners that takes away all the clutter and irrelevant information
Workspace customization and personalization
It really depends on your trading style and behavior and based on that, you can choose to use specific features listed above.
6. How do I open an account with Fyers?
Opening a trading account with a discount stock broker is pretty easy. All you need is a few documents (listed above), account opening fee is nil but you will be required to pay the AMC amount upfront.

The Latvian government-backed airline airBaltic has confirmed it will call time on its Boeing 737 operations ahead of schedule.
The firm says its Boeing 737 fleet will be withdrawn from scheduled operation in the autumn of 2019, that is 12 months ahead of the firm’s original plan. Towards the end of 2018, airBaltic phased out three of its Boeing 737-500 aircraft and currently operates six Boeing 737-300 and two Boeing 737-500 jets.
The airline says it wants to minimise fleet complexity as well as take full advantage of the additional efficiencies of operating a single type jet fleet will achieve. Once all the older 737’s are removed from operations airBaltic will be left with Bombardier Q400 turboprops while the jet of choice with will be Airbus A220-300.
Martin Gauss, Chief Executive Officer of airBaltic: “Airbus A220-300 is the aircraft of our future and, by phasing out the Boeing 737, we will have the youngest jet fleet in Europe. The introduction of Airbus A220-300 has been very successful and provided the additional efficiency any airline is seeking in the highly competitive aviation market. Thanks to the good overall performance we took a decision to introduce a single type fleet of up to 80 (50 firm order and 30 options) Airbus A220-300 aircraft by 2022.”
airBaltic has received fourteen of its Airbus A220-300 orders and eight new aircraft will join the fleet later this year. The Airbus A220-300 has performed way beyond airBaltic’s expectations, delivering better overall performance, fuel efficiency and convenience for both passengers and staff.
The Airbus A220-300, formally known as the Bombardier CSeries CS300, offers an excellent flying experience with wider seats, larger windows, more hand luggage space in the cabin, improved lavatories and much more than any other aircraft in its class. The new aircraft is also considerably quieter – with a four times smaller noise footprint. It is also one of the greenest commercial aircraft flying in the world today.
airBaltic serves more than 70 destinations from Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius, offering the largest variety of destinations and convenient connections via Riga to its network spanning Europe, Scandinavia, the CIS and the Middle East. In summer 2019, airBaltic will introduce five new destinations from Riga to Dublin, Stuttgart and Lviv as well as Kos and Menorca. The company also operates a number of holiday charter flights with its A220 aircraft to many summer sun destinations around the Mediterranean.

Marep 9 budget jumps from K40bn to K70bn

Government has disclosed that Malawi Rural Electrification Programme (Marep) 9 implementation budget is expected to jump to K70 billion from K40 billion.
It attributes to delays in the implementation of the programme and the kwacha devaluation.
Acting Director of Energy in Ministry of Energy Joseph Kalowekamo disclosed this on Thursday when officials from the ministry appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate change.
Kalowekamo said that rolling out of Marep is expected on from July 31 this year.
In the original plan, Marep 9 was supposed to start on October 1, 2020 with construction of Marep sites expected to finish by September the same year.
Kalowekamo said that the project is expected to be completed in March 2024. He also told the committee that the ministry still expects the contractors who received 30 percent advance payment to supply the materials.
Parliament has since asked the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) to investigate six contractors that have failed to deliver after receiving advance payment.
Chairperson of the committee, Werani Chilenga, ordered the ministry to ensure that the companies deliver by August 31, 2023.
“Six firms that were contracted to supply items have completely failed to deliver. Marep 9 has delayed to rollout due to that,” Chilenga said.
Almost all committee members took to task the ministry officials for the delays in the project, accusing them of sabotage.
In 2021, the ACB ordered the Ministry of Energy to restart the procurement process for the supply of materials after lifting a restriction order on the procurement process on allegations of corruption.
Marep started in 1980 with Escom as the implementing agency through donor and own financing. Later, government took over implementation of the programme in 1995 and the Department of Energy was appointed implementing agency.
The programme is executed in phases. Since its inception, eight phases of the programme have been implemented.
The project is meant to extend power distribution lines to district administration centres, major trading centres, tobacco growing areas and the development of the 4.5MW Wovwe hydroelectric power plant.
The objective of Marep is to increase access to electricity for people in peri-urban and rural areas as part of government’s effort to reduce poverty, transform rural economies, improve productivity and improve the quality of social services.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted new rules and amendments that regulate private fund advisers, with the intention of protecting private fund investors by increasing transparency, competition and efficiency. According to the SEC, the rules also aim to protect investors who have indirect exposure to private funds through pension plans, endowments, foundations and certain retirement plans.
“Private funds and their advisers play an important role in nearly every sector of the capital markets,” SEC Chair Gary Gensler said in a release. “By enhancing advisers’ transparency and integrity, we will help promote greater competition and thereby efficiency. Consistent with our mission and Congressional mandate, we advance today’s rules on behalf of all investors—big or small, institutional or retail, sophisticated or not.”
The new rules require private fund advisers registered with the SEC to provide investors with quarterly statements that detail information regarding fund fees, expenses and performance. The rules also require registered private fund advisers to obtain and distribute to investors an annual financial statement audit of each private fund it advises and to provide, in connection with an adviser-led secondary transaction, a fairness opinion or valuation opinion.
Private fund advisers will be prohibited from providing investors with preferential treatment regarding redemptions and information if it would have a material, negative effect on other investors. According to the SEC, in all other cases of preferential treatment, it has adopted a disclosure-based exception to the proposed prohibition, including a requirement to provide certain specified disclosure regarding preferential terms to all current and prospective investors.
The rules restrict certain other private fund adviser activities that the SEC deemed “contrary to the public interest and the protection of investors.” As long as private fund advisers provide appropriate specified disclosure, or in some cases obtain investor consent, they generally will not be prohibited from engaging in certain restricted activities.
Additionally, the SEC stated the new rules will not allow advisers to charge or allocate to private funds certain investigation costs when there is a sanction for a violation of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or SEC rules.
To avoid requiring advisers and investors to renegotiate governing agreements for existing funds, the SEC adopted legacy status provisions for certain restricted activities and preferential treatment provisions. The legacy status will apply to governing agreements that were signed prior to the compliance date and with respect to funds that have begun operations as of the compliance date.
Commissioner Hester Peirce, who voted against the changes, warned that the new rules will harm investors, advisers and the economy, while Commissioner Mark Uyeda called the new rules “arbitrary and capricious.”
“We are gearing up to impose a retail-like framework on this very institutional marketplace,” Peirce said in a statement. “We are adopting a prescriptive regime that edges out mutually agreed upon ground rules for private funds. … As long as investors understand the terms on which they are investing, why should the government care what those terms are?”
Uyeda said in a statement that the new rules “are far more burdensome and restrictive than those products for retail investors.” He said the SEC is relying on “questionable statutory authority, fails to consider the aggregate impact of the multitude of rules promulgated since 2022 affecting investment advisers, and dismisses warnings that it will have a disparate impact on smaller advisers, including those that are minority- and women-owned.”

Local Multi-Port Agreement Signed Paving the Way for 2021 Cruise Season
Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy announced the State of Alaska, several southeast Alaska communities, and Norwegian Cruise Line signed the first Local Multi-Port Agreement, accomplishing a large component of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Conditional Sailing Order.
The collaborative effort included Alaskans at local, state, and federal delegation levels in partnership with private businesses and serves as framework for future Local Port Agreements. Southeast Alaska communities and ports, including the City of Hoonah, Icy Strait Point, City and Borough of Juneau, A.J. Juneau Dock, Ward Cove, the City of Ketchikan, Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Pacific & Arctic Railway & Navigation Company, and the Municipality of Skagway all joined forces with the State of Alaska to develop this first agreement.
“In August of last year, we asked the CDC to let us do what Alaska does best,” says Dunleavy. “Specifically, we articulated that the State of Alaska, port communities, and the cruise industry have an exemplary record of safety when it comes to communicable diseases on cruise ships. As we have said for many months, Alaska has led the country in response to this pandemic with low case counts, hospitalizations, death rates, and successful vaccination efforts. Alaska is a COVID-safe travel destination and we look forward to welcoming tourists back this summer.”
The CDC removed the No Sail Order in October last year and replaced it with a Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.
As part of the framework, cruise lines must submit an application, including a number of agreements, to CDC for their review and approval prior to being issued a Conditional Sailing Certificate to begin passenger operations. A significant requirement of the framework includes local port agreements among communities, port authorities, state or local health authorities, and the cruise line operator.
The agreements specify a set of safety protocols to mitigate the introduction of COVID-19 aboard the vessels, reduce the potential for outbreaks, and plan for responses to cases during voyages.
“We thank the State of Alaska for facilitating the development of this agreement, the first agreement that will be submitted to CDC for their approval for Alaska,” says Frank Del Rio, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. “This agreement brings us one step closer to commencing our first cruise in the United States in more than a year. We look forward to welcoming our guests back onboard to explore the Last Frontier which will provide much needed relief to Alaskan small businesses, families and communities as we salvage part of the all-important Alaska cruise season.”
“Huna Totem’s success always comes from bringing the right people together. Collaborating with the Governor’s team, the City of Hoonah, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and the other ports, we created a template to follow for safe operation, getting Alaska back to business,” says President & CEO of Huna Totem Corporation Russell Dick.
“Huna Totem and our team at Icy Strait Point especially want to thank Governor Dunleavy for his commitment, leading his dedicated team to get these guidelines done and delivered to the CDC for review. Getting restarted this year brings economic life back to Alaska and hope for sustainable future for all Alaskans.”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Cairo is resuming its efforts to reconcile the Fatah and Hamas Palestinian factions, taking a somewhat more hands-on approach to solving the main problem.
The Fatah-led Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank wants Hamas to give up administrative control of the Gaza Strip, including ministries, security, courts, border crossings and tax collections. But Hamas refuses to oblige and is asking for partnership in managing Palestinian affairs on the civil, security and political levels.
An Egyptian security delegation headed by Ministry of Intelligence Undersecretary Ayman Badih visited Ramallah on July 11 and met with Palestinian General Intelligence Services chief Majed Faraj, who is also a member of the Fatah-affiliated Reconciliation Follow-up Committee. The delegation then headed to the Gaza Strip the next day to meet with Hamas leadership, and returned to Ramallah on July 13 to meet with PA President Mahmoud Abbas and discuss the outcome of the talks.
Since 2012, Egypt has made huge efforts to end the Palestinian rift, but no real pact has ever been sealed. They came close to an agreement in October 2017 in Cairo, but disputes between Fatah and Hamas soon resurfaced. Hamas didn't allow the consensus government to take over responsibility in the Gaza Strip, and the PA didn't pay the salaries of Gaza's government employees who were appointed by Hamas following the 2007 rift.
There is a media blackout on current reconciliation talks in an apparent effort to avoid derailing the Egyptian mediation, as Fatah and Hamas in the past have accused each other of obstructing the process.
A high-ranking source in Egyptian intelligence who attended the talks told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity that the Egyptian delegation is proposing a plan that's more structured than previous ones. Hamas would hand over the Gaza Strip to the current Palestinian government, which is what Abbas insists on, and then a national unity government would be formed through a consensus among all Palestinian factions. This government would hold general Palestinian elections later.
These demands were also part of the 2017 reconciliation agreement, “but both parties slackened at the time,” the source explained. The new vision focuses on completing the reconciliation step by step, guaranteeing the demands of both parties along the way in a three-month time frame leading up to the elections.
The Egyptian source said Fatah agreed to this vision and Hamas was positive, on condition that any government handling the rule in Gaza Strip would be responsible for paying all 42,000 employees’ salaries, without exception.
The source noted, “Hamas has another condition: After the unity government is formed, it wants to activate the PLO Temporary Leadership Framework, with the participation of all Palestinian factions, to reform the organization. This is Hamas’ condition to join the organization.”
The Temporary Leadership Framework committee was formed in 2005 in Cairo to integrate Hamas and the PIJ into the PLO and include them in the decision-making process. The committee comprises members of the PLO’s Executive Committee and secretary generals of the Palestinian factions. All agreements, including the 2011 Cairo agreement, have stipulated the need to activate the framework as a requirement to complete the reconciliation.
The source reported that the Egyptian delegation would return to the Palestinian territories soon to kick-start this plan, which includes Hamas handing over the Gaza Strip crossings to the PA and accepting a visit from Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh to Gaza to take over the ministries. The steps are to be implemented within three months at most, under the supervision of Egyptian intelligence.
The Egyptian source said, “If these steps continue unencumbered, we will soon witness a Palestinian meeting in Cairo between Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’ political bureau, in the presence of the leaders of other factions to agree on the [terms].”
Majed al-Fetyani, secretary of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, told Al-Monitor, "The Egyptian proposals and the reactions of both parties seem promising."
According to Fetyani, Abbas doesn't mind activating the PLO’s leadership framework, “but this can't happen amid the ongoing rift and the presence of two authorities, in Gaza and the West Bank."
"This is the basis of the new Egyptian initiative that focuses on uniting the rules in Gaza and the West Bank as a first step in the reconciliation," he said.
Hamas spokesperson Abdullatif al-Kanou told Al-Monitor, “The Egyptian initiative relies on a partnership-based reconciliation and on fixing the internal Palestinian situation by activating the PLO’s framework, forming a new reconciliation government and heading to legislative and presidential elections.”
He added, “The Palestinian reconciliation will remain idle if it's not based on a partnership that ends the monopolization of the rule by one party or the other."
Iyad al-Qarra, a political writer and analyst at the Hamas-affiliated Felesteen newspaper, told Al-Monitor that Egypt's efforts will bring Fatah and Hamas closer together on their demands. He noted that Hamas wants to break Fatah’s hold on the PA and pave the way for general elections rather than legislative ones only.
So far, the Palestinian public doesn't seem too invested in this rapprochement effort, probably because of repeated failures in the past. However, it's waiting impatiently for a serious Fatah-Hamas reconciliation that would put an end to a dark era.

Dear Club Member,
We have all enjoyed the Club House over many years and it has served us well over that time. Apart from the Sail Deck being built in 2014 there has been little in the way of house improvement or
refurbishment. The old girl now needs some serious attention and the time has come for Members to consider the future of the Club House and what we all expect from it.
A small sub committee has been looking at what NEEDS to be done and what COULD be done if Members so agreed.
The Club House is in dire need of a complete overhaul of key services. Namely a total rewire of the building and a new ceiling which currently is polystyrene tiles and must be replaced. Likewise
the kitchen and loos and other areas needs updating.
To commence work ASAP (probably this winter) on the above partly funded by club surplus funds but will no doubt mean Members contributing as well either through Membership or donations.
The cost of Option A is an unknown because like all old buildings you just don’t know what you will find once you start pulling the place apart.
However, working on realistic cost assumptions it is likely to be in the region 30 to 40K.
What are your thoughts on this Option A?
Taking a more ambitious view for the future of the Club might well be to think a bit bigger. I was tasked to put together a rough plan of expansion of the Club House and this is what it might look like.
To move the bar to where the kitchen is now and build a new extension for a bigger kitchen. A new lounge area would be created with a large window overlooking the dinghy park. New toilets and showers as well as disabled facilities.
Clearly Option B would require a much bigger budget which would have be raised by the members along the lines of the Sail Deck, which raised 12K which was the cost of the whole project. This option would also mean the club closing for some time while the work progressed.
A guesstimate cost would likely be in the region of 90K to 120K and members would be asked to dig deep to support existing surplus club funds.
This is food for thought, but the real question is what do YOU want for our club for all of us to enjoy well into the future especially for our younger members.
Kindly let me know your thoughts via email to firstname.lastname@example.org.

The Strasberg Method
Method Acting as I see it
The Method was created by Lee Strasberg on the basis of the Stanislavskij method. Mr Lee Strasberg founded the Actors Studio in New York in the ‘60s, and since then the Method became known with a capital ‘M’, due to the vast mojority of actors in Hollywood queueing to be able to take part in his sessions. It is still vastly used world-wide both in theatre and cinema.
Alexander had the great luck of studying the Method with brilliant teachers and coaches who assisted Lee Strasberg himself. His very own take on this technique taps into the work of Susan Batson and Francesca Viscardi Leonetti.
Also Uta Hagen has an important role in his acting and coaching technique, and so does his extensive experience in theatre and cinema, of course.
Where Stanislasvkij focuses on the Objective as in what the actor/character wants, Strasberg goes deeper than that and ask of you that you learn to connect with what you need - referring here to your inner child's main Unfulfilled Need. Also with the Strasberg Method, we don't simply have one or more conflicts: the human being is more complex than that, so we use the Triangulation Need - Action - Tragic Flaw. This really helps build the connection with our character and his/her background.
Another very important subject that Alexander teaches is Script Analysis, with its Story Arch (or Emotional Arc ). It is very important to understand how deeply connected Acting is with Writing and Directing.
The Actor's Intimacy is a set of exercises that help you working on your own shadow and private aspects, to then be able to really grasp the essence of the character you are working on. There are six main steps in this training: the Private Moment, the Celebration, the Phone Call, Lost & Found, the Animal, the Place of Defeat.
Each one of this exercises should be "tried" a variable number of times, until the actor actually "passes it". There will be a moment of catharsis or so called Revelation that will take you, as an actor and as a human being, to a whole new level - and indeed to the next Intimacy step.
Some of these steps can be performed for the character directly, rather than for the actor himself:
this is known as Character’s Intimacy. In other words, it is possible to work directly on the Need and shadow of the character: the process is profound, although maybe less than the one on the actor as a person, but it’s faster and still very efficient.
There are also more, very powerful emotion exercises devised by great coaches such as Lee Strasberg himself and Susan Batson, and indeed great improvisations that can be used to enhance the work of the actor.

Candida lives in the community of El Cedro, 2.5 hours away from the community clinic, and 12 hours away from the health center in El Ayote, the closest town.
Her family raises and sells a few hens and pigs. This is the only income in the house.
In 2017, Candida was 33 years old and the mother of seven children.
Agustin Malueños, Health Promoter in El Cedro, had been visiting Candida at her house after he learned she was pregnant with her 8th child. “I went to check up on her condition, make sure she was taking prenatal vitamins, and talked to her about a plan to go to the nearest health center to give birth.”
However, Candida did not seem convinced to go outside of her community to give birth to her baby.
Agustin knew he couldn’t give up. Thanks to the trainings with AMOS that you have made possible, he knows that in an emergency the distance and time it takes to get a pregnant woman to a health center can seriously affect the outcomes, putting her and the baby’s lives at risk.
Agustin says:“So, I kept on visiting Candida, and during a gathering of women with the volunteer mothers I asked one of the mothers, Lilliam Torres, to share her story of how she almost died in the community because she had refused to go to the health center.” She asked Candida to please learn from her experience and act on time to prevent the worst outcome. Candida promised to think about it.
On May 1st, Candida’s due date was approaching, Agustin and Lilliam went once again to visit her to try and convince her to give birth in a safe place. Agustin talked to Candida’s husband, and explained why his wife needed to leave for the health center, and how her and the baby’s lives were at stake. This time she accepted to go to the health center.
“Candida’s husband understood the urgency and was grateful to us for taking the time to visit his wife and for showing how much we truly care for her. I gave her a reference so that the staff at the health center would know she needed to be seen right away.”
Candida went to the health center the following day, when she was about 2 weeks away from her due date.
Candida gave birth to a baby boy at the health center of El Tortuguero, the closest one to her community.
She didn’t have any complications during labor and thanks to Agustin and the El Cedro health committee, she received the care she needed from medical professionals at the health unit.
Both, mom and her son, continue to be healthy and doing well in their home in El Cedro.
Thank you for everything you do to improve health and save lives in Nicaragua!

Hi, I'm Saoirse (Seersha). I was adopted on February 15!
Not ready to adopt?
Saoirse (Seersha) is available to Sponsor!
Named for the Gaelic word for “freedom,” Saoirse (pronounced Seersha) knows how precious it is to be able to run and play. She came to AFRP as an injured pup from the Hitchcock Road Animal Services, requiring orthopedic surgery to pin a fractured hind leg. She spent many weeks confined in crate rest while her leg healed, and now that she’s been cleared by the vet, Saoirse is absolutely thrilled to be able to go for walks, play with her toys and go for rides in the car. She is still building strength in her hind leg, but she walks without a limp and her surgical repair was successful.
With intelligent brown eyes and a creamy golden coat, this 8-month-old, 52-pound Shepherd mix pup turns heads wherever she goes.

We love looking to architecture for inspiration.
To inspire our Skyscraper collection of luxury designer jewelry, we turned to the Gothic Revival Woolworth Building in New York City. Beyond fueling the inspiration for Skyscraper, we've spotted Gothic architectural influences in everything from interior design to runway fashion. In this article we'll cover the basic elements of Gothic and Gothic Revival architecture and their influence in modern fashion and jewelry design.
Gothic architecture originated in 12th-century France and lasted into the 16th century as a predecessor to the Renaissance.
The Gothic style can be characterized by the introduction of the pointed arch, the flying buttress, and the ribbed vault ceiling. Clockwise below
These structural advancements revolutionized interior spaces. The important buildings of the Gothic period got characteristically taller and airier.

The Gothic style also introduced an abundance of uniquely ornate decorative elements to architecture. Gargoyles, interior and exterior sculptural decoration, brightly colored murals, stained glass windows, and repetative geometric designs were used to tell stories and relay theological messages.
The result was a period of architecture richly decorated and filled with inspiration.

The couture runways are often teeming with references to historic art and architecture. The Gothic period has been re-imagined by many designers in the current sphere of high fashion.
On the Jean Paul Gaultier runway in 2009, we see a clear reference to a pointed cathedral arch.

Taking a look farther back to the early 20th century, we can see a renewed interest in Gothic architecture classified as Neo-Gothic or Gothic Revival. Buttresses, gargoyles, pinnacles and other Gothic decorative elements were introduced to skyscrapers and universities from the turn of the century through the 1930s.
The quintessentially Neo-Gothic New York City Woolworth Building was built in 1913. It was the tallest building in the world until 1930. Inside this landmark skyscraper, the lobby is abundantly decorated with ornate pointed arches, colorful mosaics and a classically Gothic vaulted ceiling.

At Annachich Jewelry, we were drawn to the Woolworth Building’s 3000 exterior windows capped with a repetative Gothic Revival pointed arch design. To design our Skyscraper collection, we simplified the window’s shapes and transformed them into an ornate, minimal pattern. Our Revival Bracelets and Revival necklace modernize the intricate architectural style into something that is wearable and fresh. Seen below.

For an architecturally inspired look that is undeniably chic, we recommend this gorgeous Balmain crocheted dress. And how insanely cool and totally luxe are these jeweled crown headphones by Dolce & Gabbana?!
Our ornate, minimal Revival Bracelet and Pyramidal Earrings in 14k gold are a timeless way to incorporate Gothic architectural influences into your everyday.

Our Top 5 Alternatives To
A Diamond Ring
Our Top 5 Alternatives To
A Diamond Ring
Our Top 5 Alternatives To A Diamond Ring
Ever since De Beers coined their unbeatable slogan ‘a Diamond is Forever’, diamonds have been synonymous with engagement rings, to the extent that sometimes it seems there’s no other option. Don’t get us wrong - we love a classic diamond engagement ring (and we have some amazing finds in our collection), but it’s important to remember that there is a whole world of gemstones out there, and it’s definitely worth exploring.
We’re here to broaden those horizons with a shortlist of five thrilling alternatives to diamond, each with their own history, character and charm.
Heading up the trio of ‘precious’ stones is sapphire. Sapphires are the gem version of the mineral corundum. Corundum is a crystal of aluminium oxide, and in its purest form it’s completely colourless. However, luckily for us, it’s often found with a variety of different impurities in its crystal structure, and it’s these we have to thank for its legendary colour palette. Probably the best place to start is with the colour that sapphire does better than anything else: blue.
The biggest cause of blue in sapphires is a mix of iron and titanium, and the interplay of these two elements creates a massive variety of blues, each synonymous with a particular historic source. The most historic of these is Sri Lanka. Known as ‘the isle of gems’, Sri Lankan sapphires (still often referred to as ‘Ceylon’ sapphires) are famous for their soft, slightly violet hue, known as ‘cornflower’. Full of charm and subtlety, they have been treasured for millennia, finding their way into everything from ancient Roman cameos to medieval reliquaries.
Of course, sapphires from Myanmar (Burma) and Kashmir set the auction world alight every season with their extraordinary deep blues - a pure ‘Royal Blue’ is the preferred colour for Burmese stones, but Kashmir sapphires (mined for only a very short time in the late 1800s) take the top prices for their distinctive velvety, dreamy blue, from some angles with a surprising touch of sea green. While this trio of Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Kashmir are the most famous, other localities such as Thailand and Madagascar also produce beautiful stones of their own. It may come as a surprise that Montana, USA also had its own sapphire mining craze in the late 1890s, and their characteristically charming light greenish blue was championed by America’s most famous jeweller, Tiffany & Co.
Of course, sapphires don’t just stop at blue. Different types of iron atom (we won’t bore you with the exact details, don’t worry) bring out a range of bright, sunny yellows, which can also be closely mixes with blue bands to form green. Add chromium and you get bright pink (more on that later), as well as a seemingly infinite number of variations. Finally, there’s a peachy pinkish orange, or orangey pink depending on who you’re asking, known as ‘padparadscha’, a Sanskrit word meaning ‘lotus blossom’. These are extremely rare, very pretty, and highly sought after as a result.
Whatever colour you go for, sapphires are beautiful, very hard-wearing stones - it’s as easy as ever to see why they have captivated humankind for all these years, and they’re an amazing choice for your engagement ring.
You might have noticed that a colour was missing from the list of sapphire colours we mentioned above: red. You don’t get red sapphires, because when they’re red, they’re called rubies. It’s that simple! And yes, it means that sapphire and ruby are technically the same, and that those famous three ‘precious’ stones are really just two: corundum (in its sapphire and ruby varieties) and emerald.
You can’t discuss rubies without discussing THAT colour. That red has led to ruby being known as ’the king of gems’. It’s a warm, romantic and fiery stone, the birthstone of sunny July, and in India it’s strongly associated with the sun god Surya. No other stone does red like a ruby, and that colour has led it to be historically the only stone capable of matching diamond for price per carat.
The inimitable red of rubies is caused by impurities of the element chromium. Chromium is one of the most talented colouring agents in the gemological world - it is responsible for the green of emeralds, the red of rubies, and the elusive, colour-changing alexandrite.
Complicating things slightly for rubies, however, pink sapphires are chemically pretty much the same thing - corundum with chromium colouring, and this means that sometimes the lines are blurred between what qualifies as a pink sapphire or a ruby. In short, how pink is too pink? The general rule is that in order to qualify as a ruby, red has to be the dominant hue. There are almost always visible secondary hues in ruby - pinks, oranges, purples and browns, but the stone has to ‘read’ as red, and traditionally, the redder, the better.
The most famous and highly sought after hue is known as ‘pigeon’s blood red’, and is an unforgettable shade of deep, pure red, perhaps very slightly more towards purple than orange in hue. Rubies of this coveted hue are most famously found in Myanmar (often still referred to by its old colonial name ‘Burma’ in the trade), specifically in the Mogok mines. These Burmese stones are prized for their fluorescence - like a bright pink light-bulb under UV light, which boosts their colour and gives them an interior glow in sunlight. There are other superb sources though - Thailand has very attractive and historically significant deposits, usually yielding slightly purplish red stones, and newer deposits in Mozambique, Tanzania and Madagascar are also capable of a spectrum running through bright scarlet ‘fire engine reds’ to those deep ‘pigeon’s blood’ hues.
Rubies are very rare stones, and good ones are even rarer. Like sapphires, they’re at 9.0 on the Moh’s scale, meaning they’re very hard wearing, and very suitable for rings. However, the vast majority of the rubies you will see in shop windows are either too pink, too included (too many minerals trapped inside), or heat treated to improve their colour and clarity. There are also a myriad of synthetics out there and even ones with lead glass filling, so be careful! However, if a ruby is has a deep, rich colour and good level of clarity all on its own, then you’ve got something special on your hands, which makes it well worth the effort and the price tag. Luckily, untreated natural rubies are the only ones we sell, so if you’re buying with us you can breathe a sigh of relief!
First off, forget blue topaz. It’s very pretty, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying it, wearing it and enjoying it. However, it’s an entirely modern phenomenon - it’s vanishingly rare in nature, and those ones you see in countless jewellery shop windows are the products of artificial irradiation, and have to spend years ‘cooling off’ before you can safely wear them.
Every season, at the opening of parliament, the Queen wears one of the most dramatic jewels in the Crown’s collection: the Imperial State Crown. At its centre, just above the enormous Cullinan II diamond, is a bright red stone in a strange and amorphous cut - the Black Prince’s Ruby. It’s a stone that was gifted to Edward of Woodstock (1330-1376), a son of Edward III, often known as ‘the Black Prince’, in 1367, as a ‘thank you’ for helping overthrow Peter of Castille, who had his own, pretty hardcore nickname, ‘Don Pedro the Cruel’. Before that it had belonged to the Muslim ruler of Granada in Spain, Abu Sa’id, and before that there’s also more to the story. But the reason we’re talking about the Black Prince’s Ruby is because it isn’t actually a ruby - it’s a spinel.
And what is spinel, you ask? If you want the gemmological explanation, it’s a cubic crystal of magnesium aluminium oxide, and its name derives from the Latin word spinella, meaning ‘spine’, in reference to its pointed crystals. It’s a bright, hard and beautiful gemstone, often mined alongside ruby and sapphire, and comes in a distinctive spectrum of colours including deep ruby reds to peachy pinks, steely greys, blues and lavenders, which are really quite different from those of rubies and sapphires.
Red spinels such as the Black Prince’s Ruby were often confused with actual rubies in the west because they resembled each other so closely, and it was only in 1783 that gemmology had evolved enough as a scientific subject to differentiate between the two.
Confusingly, spinels were also often called ‘Balas rubies’, which referenced the ancient name for the area of Tajikistan which produced some of the most treasured specimens. While the west was struggling to understand what these stones actually were, in Asia and the Middle East it was a very different story. In Mughal India in particular, spinels were among the most treasured of all stones, and many examples are known, left as tumbled beads in the same manner as the Black Prince’s Ruby, and engraved with names of the emperors who owned them.
The historical confusion regarding spinel led to it being a much more mysterious and obscure stone than it ever should have been, to the extent that most people haven’t actually heard of it. We’re spinel fanatics though, and gradually, this extraordinary stone, with its rich yet subtle colour palette and historical pedigree, combined with ideal clarity, beauty and durability, is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Chrysoberyl is a beautiful, bright stone which comes in a variety of colours, from pale yellows to golden browns to green. These beautiful hues gained particularly popularity in Portugal in the 18th century, after the discovery of a major deposit was discovered in Brazil - still the world’s leading source. With entire parures of 18th century Portuguese jewellery made solely in glittering chrysoberyl, it’s no surprise that chrysoberyl is almost exclusively associated with Portuguese jewellery of this period.
Much like spinel, chrysoberyl was often subject to confusion of its own, as in its darker shades it comes close to olive-green peridot. Both were interchangeably known as ‘chrysolite’, and it was a long time before gemologists were able to clear things up. Consequently, chrysoberyl is not nearly as well-known as it deserves to be.
There are two famous stones you may have heard of that are actually varieties of chrysoberyl, however: cat’s eye and alexandrite.
‘Cat’s eyes’ are so-named because of the narrow flash of light across their centres, resembling a cat’s pupil. This optical effect is caused by light reflecting off many microscopic needle-like inclusions in the stone, all aligned in the same direction, and is revealed when the stone is cut as a cabochon. While this phenomenon is known in a few stones, for the stone itself to qualify as a proper ‘cat’s eye’, it must be a chrysoberyl. An ideal cat’s eye should be a narrow flash of bright light, which runs across the centre of the stone. The narrower, brighter and more central the band of light, the finer the stone.
Alexandrites are even rarer, and good quality examples are among the rarest and most coveted of all gemstones. Discovered in Russia’s Ural mountains in the mid 19th century, alexandrite was named after the future emperor Alexander II of Russia. We mentioned alexandrite earlier because, like the green of emerald and the red of ruby, it’s coloured by chromium. Uniquely, however, alexandrite seems to flit between the two colours in different lights - the best examples are a slightly bluish green in daylight, and a deep raspberry red in artificial light. The real reason for this is that the stone is picking up on the different colours present in those light sources. All coloured stones do this to an extent, but barely any will appear to change colour altogether. Natural alexandrites which can pull off this feat are among the rarest and most valuable gemstones of all.
At a strong 8.5 on the Moh’s scale of hardness, any of chrysoberyl’s characterful varieties are a superb choice for a ring - they’re hard-wearing, and their distinctive appearance will always make them an instant conversation starter.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this brief trip through the world of coloured gems. Remember, there are seemingly endless options to explore - we’ve only given you a snapshot of each stone, and there are yet more, well beyond the scope of this list.
If we’ve missed anything out, or if you want to know more, then just ask! We’ll be bringing you more gemmological treasures in the future, but for now, happy hunting!

Writing in The Guardian recently, historian Lisa Jardine voiced concerns that Grayson Perry’s edge as an artist might have been blunted – or at least masked – by his ‘national treasure’ status, as recently sealed by his BBC Reith lectures. His creative vision, she argued, is one that ‘acknowledges the inescapable liaison between desire and disappointment, the inevitable failure of reality to fulfil our overheated consumerism-enhanced dreams’.
In fact, that very distinction between searing honesty and ‘national treasure’ cosiness sums up Perry’s identity as an artist. His art and persona have always been a strange blend of cutting wit and camp whimsy, provocation and populism. Take his love of drag, which raised many chuckles from the Reith audiences as Sue Lawley itemised his outfits for Radio 4 listeners. The effect of Perry’s ‘Claire’ persona is that of camp humour – brazen yet fluffily benign. He would be equally at home making a guest appearance on Coronation Street as at a louche cabaret.
But in the event, it was the august Reith lectures that served as his platform, with four speeches about art and the art world collectively titled ‘Playing to the Gallery’. There is no doubt that Perry had carefully judged his audiences. His faux-naïve questions (how do we tell if something is good? who dictates taste?) gave the apple cart of the art world a rakish rattle, while taking care not to upset it too much.
Perry identified a ‘chorus of validation’ which shapes the contemporary art scene, a nebulous cabal of curators, collectors, dealers and members of the public that is ultimately ‘self-correcting to a certain extent’. Separating artistic wheat from chaff is a mysterious and under-scrutinised process, yet Perry’s apparent critique ended up as an endorsement. He mentioned a pot he once made titled The Happy Consensus, which contained a decorative litany of ‘50 names of collectors and galleries and exhibitions that I might be in’. This was bought by mega-collector Dakis Joannou, one of the influential 50. The ‘chorus of validation’ can indeed be happy, if self-regarding.
Perry subsequently ventured into more philosophical territory – what now defines ‘art’ (‘anything and everything’, was the essential answer) and what place does rebellion really have these days? Revolution in art, he posited, ‘is no longer a defining idea’, quoting Robert Hughes’ droll aperçu that ‘the avant-garde is now a period style.’ His final instalment took an autobiographical turn, discussing the personal cathartic motives that might lie behind one’s journey into the art world, the capacity for art to turn ‘terrible events into gold’.
As in Perry’s pots and tapestries, there was vein of populist conservatism running through these lectures – again part of their subversive appeal – which will have rubbed certain quarters of the art establishment up the wrong way. He managed to imply that ‘amateurism’ and ‘mucking about’ can too easily be the basis of art; and that ‘a boring version of something else’, lacking entertainment value, can equally fit the bill. Duchamp’s definition of art was, he suggested, ‘very intellectual’ (too intellectual?) – perhaps forgetting that it was also Duchamp who flatly proposed using a Rembrandt as an ironing board.
Perry’s questions were more stirring than any answers he sought to give, although the worst reticence came not from Perry but Nicholas Serota. As he sat in the audience of the first lecture – a high-spirited affair populated by the London art and media crowd – Serota was asked by Lawley: ‘are you aware that you are the most significant person in this cast of validators?’ He rebuffed her with an arch quip about his collection of Cliff Richard memorabilia.
In the end, it would be unfair to expect too much snideness or ‘biting the hand that feeds’ from a man who has done handsomely out of the art business. Perry managed to show that the art world is capricious and contradictory, abounding equally with ‘desire and disappointment’. Despite Jardine’s concerns, he has lost none of his realist edge. His attitude of mischievous candour – more than the fleeting or glib answers he proposed – gave the lectures value. His very desire to prick the art world’s unchallenged assumptions deserves praise. It doesn’t happen nearly enough.

Wages, insurance and benefits are often the most significant cost that small employers incur, and it’s getting harder each year to balance cash flow with those expenses. A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) helps small companies reduce expenses and improve operations while assuring that employee needs are met. PEOs are specialists at providing benefit, human resources, and administrative support to a variety of clients. For small employers seeking help with benefits, payroll, taxes, and more, PEOs deliver what you need for a fraction of the cost.
The quality of employment benefits significantly impacts employee morale, yet small companies struggle to give their people what they need to be satisfied with their compensation. Fortunately, a PEO can deliver competitive benefits for a fraction of the cost. A PEO is essentially the co-employers of every customer they serve, which allows them to leverage these numbers to deliver high-quality benefits to even the smallest business. Studies show that PEO health insurance can save companies as much as $2,400 per employee per year.
In addition to better healthcare coverage, companies that partner with a PEO are often able to offer a 401(k) benefit to employees. This option is out of reach for most small business owners but with the network of other PEO-served companies, this important benefit is now possible.
These economies of scale also result in lower costs for Workers’ Compensation, life insurance and more. With a PEO you can provide high-quality benefits to your employees and still stay within your budget.
PAYROLL AND TAX MANAGEMENT
Most small business owners want to focus on running their company and are not experts on the minutia of payroll, or state and federal taxes yet even the smallest and most innocent error can result in government penalties and wage and hour lawsuits. PEOs have experts who can address all payroll and tax issues, protecting their clients from these risks and freeing owners to focus on their companies.
PEOs can also address other payroll-based issues including:
- Onboarding a new employee
- Managing unemployment benefits
- Addressing wage garnishments
- Closing out the employment records of someone who has left the business
With this type of resource managing these complex yet mundane tasks, employers can trust that these actions are managed in compliance with local, state and federal laws as well as the company’s own policies and procedures.
PROACTIVE CYBER LIABILITY SUPPORT
Most small employers don’t believe that their companies are at risk of a cyber attack, but 58% of malware attack victims are categorized as small businesses. The cost of these attacks run in the millions and can put a small business, well, out of business. Effective PEOs understand the risks that face their clients and provide appropriate support services that can include:
- Loss Control, Education and Training to keep everyone in the company up to date on the latest information and compliant with company rules.
- Breach Response that helps a company quickly and effectively respond to a data breach.
- Legal services, from advice to regulatory actions, to help navigate a breach with minimal exposure.
- Business Insurance Plans that address customer and company losses, to keep the impact of the breach from closing the business.
Cyber attacks are on the rise and PEOs are great partners to minimize risk and protect against occurrences.
These are just a few of the many advantages that small companies receive when working with a PEO. Using these services makes your business a more competitive employer, compliant with complex laws, and protected in the event of cyber attacks. The cost savings from leveraging the buying power of the PEO’s clients make these necessary services affordable to nearly every size company. Applied Business Solutions is here to help with your unique needs so please contact us today to learn more.

If you’re reading this, you likely already know what Document Capture Software is. If not, we suggest you read our first article on capture before continuing. You’ll get an overview of what Capture Software can accomplish, why it’s useful, and an example that most businesses can relate to.
Making big-business-decisions can be overwhelming. You are certainly not alone if you’ve ever thought, “What if I made the wrong choice,” or “Are the positives really outweighing the negatives?”
Those decisions could be:
- Acquiring another business
- An agreement with a new vendor
- Pivoting from one product / service offering to another
- Implementing a new strategy or team member
These decisions can be challenging because of the ripple effect that they have – especially on your employees.
Deciding what software to use is no easier than the examples given above. In fact, some may argue that choosing a new software for your business is even more nerve-racking because of the CHANGE in how your people work.
A single capture platform including document scanning and import, forms processing, data capture, OCR/ICR data extraction and the ability to migrate the information into a document repository.
- No Drastic Changes to Current Systems: Capture software is typically built-in to an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) System. The beauty of PSIcapture is that you can continue to work with the systems you’re familiar with, and simply add PSIcapture to the mix.
- Flexible Migrations: Because PSIcapture is a stand-alone capture solution, it has no choice but to “play nice” with other software. It’s extremely flexible with its ability to migrate data to other systems.
- Ingest Information from Multiple Sources: PSIcapture also has the ability to ingest records from a number of sources: Scanners, MFPs, Files, Websites, Email inboxes, etc. This is not unique to PSIcapture, nevertheless, it’s still a “pro”.
- On-Premise Only: Most software today is offered on premise and in the cloud. PSIcapture only offers an on- premise version. The good news is, it does not require a robust IT infrastructure, and they also offer a subscription pricing model, which mimics that of a cloud offering.
- Must Have a Document Repository: In order for PSIcapture to be effective, you must have some type of repository for your documents to land. The good news is, all companies have something like this. The repository could be as simple as a desktop folder structure, or as complex as an ERP system.
Kofax AutoStore is an integrated solution that securely enables automated and compliant document capture workflows from the widest range of hardware and software platforms.
- Reasonably priced.
- Easy to Implement: AutoStore utilizes your existing infrastructure (i.e. implementation does not require a “system overhaul”).
- MFD Panel Customization: If you are used to scanning into a multifunction device (MFD), Autostore allows each user to have a unique interaction at the MFD panel. This is accomplished by enabling authentication, which will allow users to interact with only the functions they need.
- Efficient: Predefined business rules dictate how information is saved, stored, processed & routed. If information is received electronically, workflows happen automatically. If you’re scanning a hard copy, workflows are trigged by the push of a button.
- Document Recognition: AutoStore has full & zonal text recognition, hand printed character recognition (ICR), Optical character recognition (OCR), forms recognition (structured / semi structured), and barcode recognition. Barcodes can be readScanned images can be enhanced.
- Document Manipulation: Autostore can convert text into editable electronic information. It also offers image enhancement, MRC PDF compression, bates stamping, and encryption / decryption.
- Lots of Options: Because of the vast capabilities of AutoStore, getting to the point of implementation could take a lot of time & effort upfront. Depending on the offerings you plan to utilize, working with your vendor may require a lot of your time to assemble the right configuration.
- Different environments = different configurations: While AutoStore can capture information from digital sources, it is most commonly used in conjunction with office equipment (MFDs). If you have a decentralized business model (i.e. multiple locations) it’s possible that each location has a slightly different technology infrastructure, requiring a unique set up at each office.
Brainware Intelligent Capture forms a complete document processing system that combines automatic document classification, extraction, and validation, as well as archiving and uploading of data into many enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This advanced, intelligent capture technology enhances the accuracy and speed of any process that requires more than the standard character and form recognition of traditional OCR—all in a comprehensive package that delivers results from day one.
- Robust Artificial Intelligence (AI): Brainware is a learning-based system which means, the more the system is used, the smarter it gets (i.e. less and less manual intervention over time). If you’re working in a finance environment, Brainware can also run calculations to ensure that the numbers add up.
- No Templates, Anchors, Keywords or Zones Required: Many capture solutions require templates so that the system knows where to look for information. Brainware is intelligent enough to analyze incoming documents that it is not familiar with (and “learns” to become familiar with them – as mentioned above).
- Visibility: you’ll have access to real-time reporting, dashboards and other analytics to let you know the status of every document, and how the system is performing. If you are used to scanning into a multifunction device (MFD), Autostore allows each user to have a unique interaction with by enabling only the functions they need.
- Integrations / Cross Referencing: Brainware supports a plethora of ERP systems. This will allow your system to validate information that is already in your system (i.e. PO & invoice numbers, line items, existing vendors, inventory, etc.).
- Expensive: BUT, with the amount of automation built in, it can usually pay for itself.
- Pre-configured Solutions: This is barely a con… Brainware has prebuilt solutions for accounts payable, transcripts, check remittance, HR documents, and lending. We’ll assume these are pre-configured because they have seen the most success with these business processes. The only con is that there would be a lot of configuration needed for a capture solution outside of the pre-built items mentioned above. Most capture solutions are intended for specific business cases anyways, so I guess this could also be a “pro”.
- Overkill: For those who are looking for a basic capture solution, Brainware may be overkill due to how robust it is. But then again, if you need a robust solution, other software may be under-whelming.
All of these document management capture solutions are efficient, and each are reliant on what your business needs are. Determining which solution, (based on their capabilities,) is the most difficult step in your software-buying-journey.
Unless you are a software guru, it is recommended you engage a professional team to help you make this determination.

Nearly 100 people appeared in person, while the online broadcast received more than 500 views. One of her reasons for the event was to honor Jami Rodriguez ’00 and raise money for the scholarship fund named in her honor. Rodriguez, a metals artist, and Ryan were good friends during their time at Arcadia.
“Jami was a close friend of mine and a great artist,” Ryan says. “The event served her memory well.”
“Like” the video or the story? Leave a comment on Facebook.
“Manny and I cannot express our appreciation for Abbey’s generous donation of the proceeds from this painting to Jami’s Scholarship Fund,” says Avis Rodriguez, Jami’s mother. “Jami loved Beaver College and the many life experiences she availed herself of at school. The four years Jami spent at Beaver were her happiest. Jami would be so pleased knowing that her zest for community service is being honored and continued through the scholarship fund.”
The Jami Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship honors Jami who was active in student life and community service.

A video of the incident in the Mozyr district is circulating on the network. In the footage, several men are trying to stop an Audi driver who is blocked by a truck and a passenger car. He, in turn, tries to leave. Various tools of persuasion are used. The motorist, judging by the recording, hit the car of the author of the video, dragged one of the men and still disappeared.
Social networks spread this version of what happened: “Yesterday in Kamenka (Mozyr district) a truck driver saw inappropriate behavior on the road by Audi. The latter repeatedly drove into the oncoming lane. While overtaking, the trucker saw that the driver of the blue Audi was in an inadequate condition. He stopped the car. When trying to detain the driver, everything that was captured on the video happened.
Eyewitnesses claim that they called the traffic police, and later learned that the Audi driver was detained at home. There is no official confirmation of the circumstances of this story yet.

Lieutenant Colonel Earl Hancock “Pete” Ellis was a brilliant planner and a principal staff officer to General John A. Lejeune in World War I, who forecast the amphibious struggle for the Pacific more than 20 years prior to World War II. Believing war with Japan was inevitable Ellis, traveled among the Japanese in the forbidden Carolines and died there under mysterious circumstances, on 12 May 1923.
Colonel Ellis was born on 19 December 1880 at Iuka, Kansas, and began his career in the United States Marine Corps in 1900 as a Private. On 6 December 1901, he became a Second Lieutenant. Early in 1902, he left the United States, and arrived on 13 April at Cavite, Philippine Islands. In the years preceding World War I, Captain Ellis was sent out on special terrain study and intelligence service in the West Indies and at the Naval Station in Guam. Upon his return from Guam, he served as Aide-de-Camp to Major General Commandant George Barnett. On 16 March 1917, he was detached from Headquarters and ordered to Quantico, Virginia.On 25 October 1917, Major Ellis left Quantico for temporary foreign shore expeditionary service in Europe for the purpose of obtaining information concerning the methods of training troops. He sailed via the USS Von Steuben from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 29 September and arrived at Brest, France on 12 November. Major Ellis returned to the United States on 9 January 1918. On 12 February 1918, he was detached to duty in the Office of Naval Operations in Washington, D.C., and on 22 May, was detached to foreign shore expeditionary service in France on the staff of General John A. Lejeune. He arrived at Brest, France, on 8 June 1918.
From 18 June to 4 July, Major Ellis was assigned to duty with the 35th Division in the Wesserling Sector as an observer, and from 5 to 25 July served as Adjutant of the 64th Brigade of that division. He was attached to the 32d Division for several days during the operations of that Division in the Aisne-Marne Offensive, and during the German retreat from the Marne. On 8 August, he was detailed as Brigade Adjutant of the Fourth Marine Brigade in the Pont-a-Mousson Sector, north of Nancy, France. On 28 August, he was promoted to temporary rank of Lieutenant Colonel, the rank to be effective as a 1 July. He participated in the St. Mihiel (Champagne) Offensive (12-16 September 1918) and in the Meuse-Argonne (Champagne) Offensive 29 September – 10 October 1918) including the attack on and capture of Blanc Mont, and in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive 31 October to 11 November 1918).
On 17 November 1918, Ellis was among those who commenced the march to the Rhine River, crossed the Rhine on 13 December 1918, and into the Coblenz Bridgehead Area, Germany.
Lieutenant Colonel Ellis was awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Gold Star, and was cited by the Marshall of France commanding French Armies of the East as follows:
“From the 2nd to the 10th of October, 1918, near Blanc Mont, Lieutenant Colonel Ellis has shown a high sense of duty. Thanks to his intelligence, his courage and hi energy, the operations that this Brigade (Fourth Brigade, Second Division) took part in, have always been successful.”
He was awarded the decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the President of the French Republic, and the U.S. Army Citation Certificate by the Commanding General of the American Expeditionary Forces.
On 25 July 1919, Colonel Ellis sailed from Brest, France, aboard the USS George Washington, arrived at Hoboken, New Jersey, on 3 August 1919, and joined the Marine Barracks, Quantico, Virginia, on 9 August. In November, 1919, Colonel Ellis joined Headquarters Marine Corps, and shortly thereafter was sent to Santo Domingo as Brigade Intelligence Officer. Upon completion of his duty with the Second Marine Brigade, San Domingo (from April to 11 December 1920), Colonel Ellis again joined Headquarters Marine Corps. On 11 November 1920, he was awarded the Navy Cross by the President of the United States:
“For exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service. As Adjutant, Fourth Brigade Marines, he displayed utter disregard of personal hardship and danger, energetic application and an unfailing devotion to the duties of his office. He has ever shown himself ready for any emergency, even when he has been without sleep or rest for several days and nights at a time. His keen analytical mind, quick grasp of intricate problems, resourcefulness, decision and readiness to take prompt action on important questions arising during the temporary absence of the Brigade Commander within the Brigade, have contributed largely to the success of the Brigade, rendered his services invaluable and won for him the high esteem and complete confidence of the Brigade Commander.”
Colonel Ellis died at the age of 43 at Parao (Palau), Carolina Islands on 12 May 1923, and his remains were returned to the United States for burial. He had died at the moment when his last and greatest military-intelligence task was almost complete. For fifteen years he had studied the development of Japanese power in the Orient. He had come to certain conclusions and he had not been reticent about voicing them. Requesting to be sent out to Latin America and Japan on intelligence missions, Colonel Ellis was granted a leave of absence from Headquarters Marine Corps and in the next few years, he visited Australia, Philippine Islands, and Japan. He studied methods and formulated war plans for the Marine Corps in the event that the Japanese should strike.
In 1920 he foretold the course of the war in the Pacific and that Japan would strike the first blow with a great deal of success. He also reported what the success would be and planned the action necessary for Japan's defeat. Twenty-one years later, his prophecies became reality.

25 May 2005:The Pratt B-29 All Veterans Memorial will host a luncheon at the Ellis VFW Building in Pratt to honor the Marines first spy and recognized amphibious warfare prophet, Lieuenant Colonel Earl “Pete” Ellis.
After the First World War, Ellis believed war with Japan was inevitable. He traveled among the Japanese people in the forbidden Carolina Islands and died there under mysterious circumstances.
Ellis was born in Iuka, Kansas, on December 19, 1880, educated in the Pratt school system and joined the Marine Corps at the age of 19 as a Private. On December 6, 1901, he became a Second Lieutenant.
Before World War I, Colonel Ellis was sent out on a special terrain study and intelligence service in the West Indies and at the Guam Naval Station. He served as an Aide-de-Camp to Major General Commandant George Barnett at the Marine Headquarters and then ordered to Quantico, Virginia.
During World War I, Colonel Ellis was ordered to France where he participated in the St. Mihiel (Champagne) offensive, including the attack on and capture of Blanc Mont and in the Mouss-Argonne offensive. Ellis was among those who commenced the march to the Rhine River and crossed the Rhine on December 13, 1918, and into the Coblenz Bridgehead area in Germany.
For his superior planning and courage, Colonel Ellis was awarded the French Croix de Guerro with Gold Star and the decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the president of the French Republic. He was also awarded the U.S. Army Citation Certificate by the commanding general of the American Expeditionary Forces and the Victory Metal with numerous citations by the British Government. During his career, he was also awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the United States Navy.
Colonel Ellis died at the age of 43 at Parao (Paleu), Carolina Islands on May 12, 1923, and his remains were returned to Greenlawn Cemetery in Pratt for burial. There they remained until November 2004 when they were exhumed and buried with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery.
Ellis died at the moment when his last and greatest military intelligence task was almost complete. For 15 years he had studied the development of the Japanese power in the Orient. He had come to foresee the coming Japanese aggression and was not shy about expressing them. This led to speculation that, perhaps, this was the reason he died so mysteriously.
Today a bronze plaque in recognition of his contribution to military science is displayed at Earl Ellis Hall in Quantico, Virginia Marine Base. The sign in front of the Pratt VFW building also bears his name.
This Memorial Day, May 30, 2005, the addition of a special memorial in the B-29 All Veteran Memorial site has been added to keep alive Colonel Ellis's memory in the Pratt area. By the Pentagon's request the inspector/instructor staff from Marine Corps Reserve Center in Wichita will, provide a military honor service at the memorial.
As time passed, few people in Pratt County remembered the boy who was born here and became a Marine Corps legend. Ellis is now considered to be a miliary genius, the Marines' first spy and a recognized amphibious warfare prophet who in the 1920's wrote a 30,000 word report that predicted the war with Japan, Pearl Harbor, aircraft carriers and the airplanes that could carry bombs and fly off them.
This year, with the help of the Pentagon and many interested parties, Colonel Ellis' achievements are again recognized and the citizen's of Pratt County have another “giant” to be remembered.

From a press report: November 29, 1994
From the time the bombs started falling on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, it was three weeks before Lt. Mildred Irene Clark left her appointed post as a nurse/anesthetist at Schofield Barracks Army Hospital. In those weeks, she lived in the hospital, nursing the wounded.
The young lieutenant, later Colonel Irene Clark Woodman, who retired in 1967 as chief of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, shared her experiences as a career Army nurse in a special program and exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History on November 20, 1994.
After visits with her family in Elizabethtown, Ms. Woodman and her husband were on their wayhome to Michigan when she suffered a heart attack and died Friday in a Kentucky hospital. She was 79.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. today at Elizabethtown Baptist Church. Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery.
Ms. Woodman, formerly of Bladen County, graduated from Baker General Hospital School of Nursing in Lumberton, did postgraduate work in Philadelphia and earned a bachelor's degree in nursing education from the University of Minnesota.
She started her military career with a direct commission in the regular Army in 1938 and had been in Hawaii for nearly a year when the United States entered World War II.
When she returned stateside in 1943, she was chief of nursing service at wartime general hospitals in Texas and Massachusetts. In 1947, she went to the Far East and later was director of nurses in Korea. Because of her work, a training
program was started for Korean nurses who later formed the nucleus of the Republic of Korea Army Nurse Corps.
When the Korean War started in 1950,Ms. Woodman was chief nurse at General Headquarters in the Far East Command and nurse consultant to the surgeon of the Far East Air Forces. She later worked in Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas, was chief of the nursing service at New Mexico hospital, and directed personnel procurement programs for the nurse corps and the medical specialist corps in the office of the Army Surgeon General. She worked in Germany, then returned to the United States and became chief nurseof the 6thU.S. Army in San Francisco.
From 1963 to 1967, Ms.Woodman was chief of the Army Nurse Corps. She was credited with establishing the corps' standard requiring all nurses to have bachelor'sdegrees and withcreating the Army student nurse program that gave financial assistance to students in return for an active duty commitment.
She became a patron of the N.C. Museum of History, donating hundreds of uniforms, medals, decorations and objects of memorabilia, in addition to making substantial financial contributions.
“I came to see her as a role model for North Carolina women,” said Vicki L. Berger, curator of costume and textiles for the museum.
Dr. Berger said more than 100 people attendedMs. Woodman's program and exhibit at the museum November 20.
Surviving Ms.Woodman are her husband, retired Army Col. Ernest A. Woodman; stepsons Ronald C. Woodman of Michigan, and Russell P. Woodman of Arlington, Va.; four step-grandchildren;sister Lucille Clark Anderson of New Bern and brother John Wesley Clark of Elizabethtown.

9 Signs Of Food Addiction: How To Know When You Need Help
It’s no secret that we need food to live. Even though Gandhi fasted for 21 days, without food, we eventually wither away.
But food isn’t just necessary for survival. It’s often at the center of social gatherings.
It’s something to look forward to at the beginning and end of our workdays.
French fries are the perfect hangover cure.
A delicious burger is the ultimate Instagram post, and there is always something new to satisfy our tastebuds.
But even though food plays an integral role in our lives, it’s not healthy to think about food ALL the time. The signs of food addiction are real.
And if you have a food addiction, you might need help recovering.
Do you want to learn about the signs of food addiction and how to get help for yours?
Here are 9 signs to look for!
1. You Eat More Than You Intended
How many times have you scoffed at the idea of dessert and then given in, saying you’ll have a bite or 2?
Did that 1 bite ever turn into 20? Has 1 slice of pizza ever turned into half a pizza?
If you can’t ever stick to eating in moderation, especially when you set out to do just that, it’s possible that you have a food addiction.
2. You Eat Until You’re About To Burst
There’s a name for eating until you’re beyond stuffed – it’s called binge-eating!
Most things can be enjoyed in moderation. But just like consuming alcohol or anything else, it’s entirely possible to be eating TOO MUCH food.
Those who are victims of food addiction don’t just give in to cravings. Once they give in to a desire, they can’t stop eating until the urge is “satisfied,” which often means eating until you feel bloated and lethargic.
3. You Make Excuses
Do you find yourself making excuses any time you want to break your diet, give in to a craving, or have fun?
When it comes to addiction, we use our brains to convince ourselves of anything.
Maybe you’ve decided to “eat healthily,” but there’s a birthday at the office. The inevitably giant sugar-filled cake rolls out, and you’re already preparing yourself to give in.
It’s a special occasion. You didn’t buy the cake yourself. You’ll just have one bite. You don’t want to be the outcast.
One of the most common food addict symptoms is making excuses to break the rules.
4. You Break The Rules A Lot
As humans, we make all sorts of rules for ourselves. But more often than not, we break them.
Do you find that you’re continually making food rules for yourself and then breaking them? If the answer is yes, you might be a food addict.
5. You Get Cravings When You’re Full
Cravings are real, and everyone gets them.
Sometimes they are based on a need for nutrients or energy. But many other times, those cravings are your brain calling for dopamine.
Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that plays a significant role in how we feel pleasure. One of the food addiction symptoms occurs when the release of dopamine in your brain goes hand in hand with what you eat.
Do you NEED chocolate to satisfy an urge? Do you feel relieved and happy when you eat cheese?
Cravings and hunger are very different things.
Everyone feels both, and just because you get cravings doesn’t mean you have a food addiction.
But if cravings happen all the time and ignoring them becomes hard, even if you’re full, it might be an indication that you’re addicted to food.
6. You Feel Guilty A Lot
Do you find yourself attempting to control your consumption of unhealthy foods, only to give in and then be consumed by guilt for doing so?
If you feel guilty for cheating, but continue to repeat the process of cheating anyway, it could very well mean you’re addicted to food.
Trying to exert control over the consumption of unhealthy foods and then giving in to a craving can lead to feelings of guilt.
7. You Hide Your Eating
People with a track record of setting rules and repeated failures eventually begin to hide their consumption of unhealthy food from people around them.
Sometimes they’ll eat out alone, eat when no one is home, or when everyone is asleep, or eat in the car.
Whether it’s the embarrassment of failure or the obsession with over-eating, a lot of food addicts reach a point where they start hiding their food.
8. You Can’t Quit Even When It Gets Physical
Diet plays a significant role in health.
It can lead to acne, bad breath, poor dental health, fatigue, and weight gain, amongst a myriad of other health issues.
A lifetime of bad eating can lead to heart disease, dementia, and even cancer.
Anyone who deals with any of these issues and still can’t quit their unhealthy eating habits likely needs help.
9. You Think About Food All The Time
Are you one of those people who never stop thinking about food?
Do you always think about what you want to eat, what you shouldn’t eat, and what you can and can’t eat?
If it’s consuming your brain, you’re probably in need of food hypnosis.
Don’t Ignore The Signs Of Food Addiction
If, after reading about the signs of food addiction, you’ve realized that you are, in fact, addicted to food, do not be embarrassed.
Just like any other addiction, getting help is often the only way to start living free from what we can’t tackle ourselves.
The first step is admitting that you have an issue, and then acknowledging that you need tools to combat your addiction.
And remember, you don’t have to get rid of your favorite foods! There are plenty of ways to eat what you love in moderation. There are low-calorie choices in Mexican cuisine and many other foods.
Do you want to start your new and improved healthy living by burning more calories throughout your day? Check out how to estimate calories lost when you walk!

Seven Questions to Ask Before Hiring an HVAC Technician
The HVAC in your house is an integral part of your life. It keeps you comfortable, whether it's extreme cold outside or even hot. Your heating and cooling system also requires a significant investment. With regular tune-ups, you can extend the life of your HVAC and get more service than expected. However, you should be able to choose the right HVAC services near Louisville.
Whether you want to install a new HVAC or receive regular tune-ups, a reliable HVAC technician can make all things easier. Below are seven questions you should ask your technician before hiring them. It will help you choose a trustworthy and skilled technician for the job.
1 Do You Have A Proper License And Insurance?
The first thing you should ask is if they have the proper license and insurance. You should also find out what licenses and certifications they have. Ideally, a technician should have a worker's compensation and liability insurance as well. You may also want to go ahead and confirm if their license is up-to-date. Also, HVAC professionals should receive their licenses from the state. But they should obtain their operating license from the city or town where they intend to work.
2 How Much Experience Do You Have Working In The HVAC Industry?
Is the technician working in the HVAC industry for long enough? Or are they relatively new in the industry? The more experience a technician has, the more varieties of HVAC jobs they must have performed. With experience, the knowledge and skills of a technician get better too. Such professionals are more likely to provide high-quality service. You should also ask the technician about various systems he has worked with and if he is familiar with your specific unit. It's good to hire someone who knows your HVAC brand or unit.
3 Can You Give References To Your Previous Customers?
When you're hiring an HVAC technician, you must ask for references. A reliable technician will always list clients they have worked with, and these clients should verify their excellent work. If a particular technician is not offering you any references, you might not want to hire them. Apart from references, it's also a good idea to look up the website of HVAC services in Louisville. You can also check websites like Google, Yelp, and Better Business Bureau for the business ratings and reviews.
4 What Are Your Service Charges?
While you're considering a technician for your HVAC repairs or maintenance, please inquire about their rates. A good technician will never be hesitant to give you an estimate of their work. Instead, they will openly tell you about how much they charge for various services. It's best to get an estimate in writing from the HVAC professional you hire. If they offer you meager prices, then they might offer your substandard services.
5 How Do Refunds, Guarantees, And Warranties Work?
If your HVAC system is under warranty, a reliable HVAC technician will stick to the warranty terms and provide you their service. In case your system is past warranty, you should seek a new guarantee in writing. It would help if you also asked the technician about how refunds take place. Firstly, you should hire a reputable company that installs the machine correctly. The contractor should transparently disclose their policy. Some technicians offer a warranty on their repairs too. So, please confirm about warranties and refunds before hiring anyone.
6 What's Your Estimated Date Of Completion?
While you're searching for an HVAC technician, you should also consider the date of completion. It would help if you asked them about the estimated time required to complete the repair or tune-up. A reliable professional will inspect your unit and give you a precise date or window of completing the work. If you find someone who offers no estimates or vague estimates, you should find someone else.
7 Do You Provide A Maintenance Program?
When it comes to your heating and cooling unit, you would want to ensure a seamless operation. And it's possible to achieve a comprehensive maintenance program. Such programs also save you money and time. And on top of it, you get a regular service that keeps your HVAC running smoothly. Maintenance programs also prevent the risk of sudden breakdowns and significant problems that may occur in the future. Thus, you should seek a technician that offers a maintenance program.
To Put It Shortly
Those were the seven questions you should ask before hiring HVAC services near Louisville. You must factor in their experience and also confirm if the technician has proper licensing and insurance. Asking for references always helps, and you can indeed trust technicians with positive reviews. Also, don't forget to ask about refunds, guarantees, and warranties on their work.

The first half for the Cats was one to forget.
In what was easiest the worst this squad has looked all season, it was the return of Chris Rodriguez and the play-calling of Rich Scangarello that led the way. Mix in the special teams mistakes, and UK put themselves in a hole from the beginning. Luckily though this team mimics their head coach, and were up for a fist fight scoring a late touchdown to make the score only a one possession game at 19-12.
The second half was much of the same we have seen from this Kentucky team this season, except for the offensive struggles. The defense stepped up time and time again, making this into a fist-fight game that Mark Stoops always love to coach in.
Until the fumbles by Will Levis that ultimately cemented the win for Ole Miss.
It is also worth noting that Jacquez Jones injured his foot early in the first quarter, and left the game after trying to give it a go in the third. Despite that he had one of the bigger plays of the game for Kentucky as he picked off a pass as the Rebels were threatening to score late in the first half. His availability will be something to monitor over the next week.
Now let’s take a look at four things to know as the Cats fall in Oxford:
Chris Rodriguez Returns
The Kentucky running game has struggled through the first four-games of the season, but with the return of Rodriguez there seemed to be a bright spot in that facet of the game for the first time this season.
With a touchdown to end the first quarter, as he ran right up the gut, it was sight for sore eyes.
Now the game needs to run through their All-SEC running back, and let the other guys contribute when they can.
Barion Brown is Elite
Kentucky has not had a receiver like Barion Brown in a long time, if ever.
With almost another kick-off returned for six, the true freshman has proven to be the most electric player for the offense.
It is time Rich Scangarello and this offensive staff find a way to get him more touches.
Defense vs Lane Kiffin
Lane Kiffin is known for the pace with offense’s play with, and this Ole Miss team is starting to find their rhythm.
We saw Northern Illinois put this Kentucky defense on their heels several times last week, but the Rebels only solidified the point of the time they need to get everything all set.
Despite those struggles they only held this explosive Ole Miss offense to two scores in the first half, and played well all throughout the second. When they get set, they are one of the best units in all of college football.
Kicking Game Struggles
Throughout the first four games, there have been some serious issues with the kicking game. That continued today, and put the Cats in a hole early.
Matt Ruffalo has proven over the course of his career he can knock down the kicks, but it is the inconsistency in these big games that always seem to come back to haunt him.
But overall it is on the whole field-goal unit to help close the gap from what we saw today. Whether it is blocking up front, to the snap and hold. Need to see a full-180 before South Carolina comes to town next Saturday.
Now, let’s chat. This is a safe space.

Like other countries, Thailand's arts and crafts reflect the life, culture, history, and economy of Thailand. Arts and crafts from Thailand are rightfully famous all over the world. Hill-tribe artifacts, from silver jewelry to bright dresses; lacquerware and ceramics; traditional musical instruments and puppets: all are beautiful examples of the mastery of Thai artisans, trying to keep alive the old traditions.
Check out our article below to learn more about arts and crafts in Thailand.
The History of Thailand's Arts and Crafts
Like its history and culture, Thailand's arts are influenced by Buddhist culture. Most traditional Thai sculptures depict images of the Buddha. The Thai traditional art style was formed during the Sukhothai (1238–1438) and Ayutthaya (1531–1767) periods. It was influenced greatly by other Asian countries, especially Chinese art, and crafts. The ancient history of Thai arts and crafts can be divided into three periods.
The Copper Period (2,500 years ago): During this period, many artworks and handicrafts were made from copper, including household wears, jewelry necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
The Alloy Period (2,000 years ago): During the alloy period, artworks and crafts were made from a mixture of copper and tin (alloy). One of them is the world-famous large bronze drum, which was unearthed in an apple field by a farmer in 1988.
The Iron Period (1,700 years ago): Iron products, Buddha statues, and pottery were created in this period, such as the famous statue of a monk made from gilt copper alloy exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Thailand, Singapore, Bali
In Thailand, Tanny and Nori(Suparp), were both incredible! They were both fun, funny, and full of knowledge and made sure we got the full experience. They went the extra mile and always made sure we had cold bottled water and towels to cleanse our hands. In Singapore, Nicole was an absolute gem. She was so kind and knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction to make our day as enjoyable as possible. She helped us choose a top notch local lunch and coffee spot in China Town and taught us so much about the country! In Bali, Emon was an absolute joy. He was very knowledgeable and kind and absolutely made sure we were feeling comfortable and was willing to be flexible with us. He was fun to converse with and made our time traveling between destinations so enjoyable! I cannot recommend Asia Highlights enough! Accommodations, travel arrangements and guided tours were all a breeze.More

Large multi-generational holiday in Thailand
The holiday was wonderful. Our guides, Mr Monchai (Bangkok), and Ms Tipagorn (Tippy) (Chiang Mai) were exceptional. Travelling in a large multigenerational group with many children requires patience and our guides truly understood that. Mr Monchai and Ms Tippy shared their extensive knowledge of the many wonderful places we visited, and were flexible to take us to additional places along the way based on discussions. While everyday was busy, having them greet us with patience and a smile truly made this a memorable holiday. The hotels we stayed at were equally wonderful and went above and beyond to celebrate not only my parents 50th anniversary but also celebrate 2 milestone birthdays that occurred. We will cherish this holiday for many years to come. We hope to use Asia Highlights again.More

Wonderful Guides and Experience
Our large group arrived in Bangkok with Tanni as our guide. She was wonderful! An absolute joy to spend time with. She is knowledgeable, kind, and extremely funny.

Guide - Chai
We travelled from Vietnam to Bangkok and were blessed to have a guide named Chai. He was a superb guide and it is a pity we couldn't bottle him and take him home. He was very knowledgeable and an absolute gentleman. He could not have done enough to facilitate us and imparted so much knowledge about the Temples, Buddism and the History of Thailand in general. Not only did he give us a great overview of the past and current ways of living in Thailand but I also feel I came away a much better person having interacting with him. I will carry many of his teachings with me for the rest of my life and know that having met him was a very special blessing in my life.More

We are only on day 5 of our 15 day trip…
Our first stop so far was in Hanoi where our guide Trong was just so awesome! He shared about his culture and family life which showing us sites through a city tour. He was so funny making lots of jokes and always made sure we were having fun while learning about everything! He checked on us frequently even when we were no longer with him since we then went on a cruise in Halong Bay! Halong Bay and the cruise on Paradise Elegance went way above anything I expected. The scenery was breathtaking, the ship was so beautiful and clean with such fresh, good food! And I can’t sing enough praise for the staff who took care of us- especially Anna and Belle! They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every aspect from eating meals with Anna to every other detail with Belle! I highly recommend Asian Highlights to help plan these extraordinary trips! This already has been a trip of a lifetime and we still have so much more to see all thanks to Cathy!!More

6 Types of Arts and Crafts in Thailand
There are many types of arts and crafts in Thailand. Here we are going to introduce the main six types of Thai arts and crafts.
1. Carving and Sculpture in Thailand
In Thailand, carved artworks are mainly used to decorate Buddhist temples and royal palaces around the country. Many materials are carved and engraved as part of statues, including teak, bamboo, rattan, stone, horn, ivory, banana stalk, and mango. The most popular wood for carving in Thailand is teak.
Thai carving artists are so smart that they can carve not only hard materials, but also soft fruit, even vegetables, and soaps. You can always see the products of many artisans engraving and carving watermelons into special works of art in restaurants in Thailand.
2. Thai Traditional Silk
Silk originated in China and was introduced to Thailand over 3,000 years ago. Traditional Thai silk is produced from the cocoons of Thai silkworms. Eri silk and glossy mulberry silk are the main two silk types, which are produced by two kinds of silkworms.
Traditional Thai silk is handwoven, which means it is unique and can't be made by machine, although artificial silk fabrics can have the same color and pattern. The luster of Thai silk is unique and has two blends. The color of Thai silk changes as the angles of light varies. Traditional Thai silk is almost 10 times more expensive than artificial silk.
Embroidery on each piece of silk fabric has local Thai cultural elements. Thai silk fabric is one of the most popular exported products in the world.
3. Thai Bamboo and Rattan Crafts
Bamboo and rattan play an important role in household craft products. Much furniture is made from bamboo and rattan, such as chairs, baskets, beds, trays, lamps, and even bags. Thai craftsmen are so smart that they can make most furniture from bamboo and rattan. Many craftsmen make their bamboo furniture in a small shop or a family-based factory. The skills of bamboo crafting are handed down from generation to generation in a family.

4. Thai Silverware
Thai silverware working skills were influenced by Chinese and other Asian skills. During the Ayutthaya (1531–1767) and Rattanakosin (1782–1932) periods, silver skills and products were greatly developed and improved. In ancient times, silver and nielloware (silverware with a dark background element) was only allowed to be used by royal families or noble families. Thai craftsmen have created their own techniques and exported their silver and niello wares to many other countries.
5. Thai Pottery
Thai pottery and lacquer wares have their own Thai patterns, although the skills of making them are influenced by Chinese and Burmese techniques. The shapes, colors, and decorative motifs of Thai ceramics are different from Chinese ceramics.
Thai pottery has a smooth surface and delicate details. Many Thai designs include animal decorations and have a dark brown glaze finish, which makes the Thai ceramics special and unique among Asian pottery wares.
Many Thai pottery and lacquer wares are exported to other countries nowadays. Sukhothai Ware is the most popular Thai ceramics type.

6. Thai Paper
In ancient Thailand, people used mulberry bark to make paper, which can be used and stored longer than other paper. The fasting growing mulberry tree is a common tree in south Asian countries, which provides a cheap fiber to make paper.
Thai handmade paper has a thick and heavy texture. Some of them have large "inclusions" randomly scattered across the sheet. Papermaking has become a popular craft in all tourist markets in Thailand. Handmade paper can be used to print, paint, dye, and emboss. It is one of the most popular souvenirs of Thailand.
Places to Buy Souvenir Artworks and Handicrafts in Thailand
Many tourists in Thailand like to buy handicrafts as souvenirs. These are some of the recommended places where you can buy traditional Thai silk and artworks:
Baan Baht (Bangkok) is an ancient artisans' village in Bangkok, where you can buy household ware, such as bowls, ceramics, earthenware and so on.
Chatuchak Weekend Market (Bangkok) is a good place for bargain hunters in Bangkok with more than 8,000 market stalls. There are all kinds of tourist souvenirs on sale in the markets. More than 200,000 visitors a year come to search for their favorite items.
Silom Village (Bangkok) is a compound of 17 well-preserved antique houses dating back to the glorious era of King Rama V. It is the best place to buy fine antiques, handicrafts, lacquer-finished products, jewelry, Thai silk, and furniture.
Keta Handicraft and Souvenirs (Chiangmai) is the most popular night market outlet in Chiangmai, selling Thai silk, Northern Thai clothing, hand-carved soaps, bamboo rice boxes, silverware, and Thai umbrellas.
Handicraft Shopping Tips for Tourists
If you are going to buy some souvenirs on your trip to Thailand, the following tips will be useful for you.
- Bargaining is common in the handicrafts markets. The first price on the piece is not the real price, especially in the tourist markets. Remember to bargain for a lower price in the souvenir markets.
- Choose souvenirs that can be easily packed and taken away, including Thai silk, handmade paper, Thai spices and herbs, silverware, and small Thai handicrafts. Don't buy a large artwork that takes up lots of space, which will make your trip encumbered and will require shipping or excess luggage charges.
- Only buy expensive jewelry or artwork in a reputable store. Try to check or ask local people about the shop before you make your decision to pay. Unexpected discounts or low prices typically indicate fake items or scams.
- Beware of touts. Don't follow some driver or tour guide to certain shops or souvenir places, where they will get a commission from your deal. Go to reputable markets or shops directly and choose what you want to buy.

When it comes to gaming, Asian markets have long boasted a global reputation. Japan, for instance, is a well-established market for console gaming, having been at the centre of many gaming innovations in this sector for decades. More recently, South Korea has developed an international reputation for being the Asian centre of eSports and online gaming. As we move further into the decade, China and Southeast Asia will be looking to expand their foothold in the global gaming industry.
Here are some of the key trends that we predict will emerge in Asian gaming markets throughout 2023 and beyond.
A Rapidly-Evolving Landscape
The video gaming industry has undergone tremendous evolution since its inception several decades ago. In the early days of gaming, video games were played on arcade machines before shifting to dedicated consoles. Over time, the market expanded to include more sophisticated PCs and portable devices, like Nintendo’s Game Boy.
It was the introduction of the internet at the turn of the century, however, that had the most dramatic impact on the gaming industry. A number of gaming genres sprung into life thanks to the power of connected tech, and brand-new gaming markets were created, from online multiplayer games to digital casinos.
By the 2010s, online gaming platforms and marketplaces had become the most innovative and accessible ways to play games. The likes of PokerStars Casino, which delivers immersive and popular titles in slots gaming like Sweet Bonanza, were soaring in popularity, as were digital distribution platforms, such as GOG.com and Valve’s Steam.
In recent years, the shift to mobile gaming on smartphones and tablets has led to an explosion in the number of casual gamers and created several new revenue streams for the industry. Additionally, advancements in technology have brought about more realistic graphics, more immersive experiences, and virtual and augmented reality gaming.
The gaming industry is a rapidly evolving landscape, making it perfectly primed for dominance by the Asian and Tiger economies.
Japan will Revolutionise Mobile
Japan has already established itself as a gaming superpower thanks to major console manufacturers like Sony and Nintendo. However, in 2023, we can expect the Japanese gaming market to switch focus to the mobile gaming space.
For instance, the development company behind the iconic Final Fantasy franchise recently opened a new mobile gaming studio headquartered in London, England. The studio focuses primarily on releasing free-to-play titles that include in-app purchases, and it’s a business model that’s proved to be successful. Between 2019 and 2022, Square Enix’s revenue from smart device and browser games increased from 41% to 46%, becoming the primary source of revenue during those three years.
Of course, Japanese game developers are also exploring various new technologies beyond mobile and cloud gaming, such as AI and the metaverse. In 2022, Square Enix teamed up with the experienced NFT game developer Gumi to launch metaverse gaming experiences. Meanwhile, incumbents like Sony are ramping up production on their VR efforts, unleashing the new VR2 headset sometime in February 2023.
China to Focus on Quality Game Production
The Chinese gaming market has been marred by strict regulations in recent years. However, the tide is beginning to turn with the 2022 thawing of investor sentiments towards gaming development in the country. All signs now point towards China shifting its focus towards quality game production, prioritising quality over quantity, which will be a vital factor in generating international prestige.
For example, the success of Genshin Impact gives a good indication of the potential success that awaits Chinese game makers. The gacha-based RPG was developed by miHoYo and became a global mobile hit in 2020 before transitioning to the console (PlayStation 4). Having amassed over $986 million in revenue during 2022, Genshin Impact finished the year as the third highest-grossing game in the world.
Southeast Asia Becomes an eSports Hub
Southeast Asia is quickly becoming a dominant force in eSports and could soon rival South Korea’s throne as the Asian eSports Hub. Attitudes towards eSports in countries like Malaysia and the Philippines are becoming increasingly normalised; the region even displayed the second-fastest revenue growth for the sector in 2022 at 17.2% (following India at 18.3%).
Furthermore, several notable eSports events have also taken place in the southeastern region. In 2019, the Phillippines included eSports events alongside traditional sporting events for the first time at the Southeast Asian Games, held in Manila. Looking forward, summer 2023 will see Singapore host the inaugural Olympic Esports Week, which is set to be an IOC-sponsored event.

Mkvmoviespoint is one such free online movie library that lets you download movies for free.

The only downside to this platform is the fact that you need to own a Jio Simcard and it doesn’t support a proper desktop version. The experience is unmatched on the application, which is available on all the platforms. It has a collection of Hollywood, Bollywood, and regional language movies that you can stream online.
We know it is a subscription-based platform but to be fair, it justifies the price for the content that you get to binge-watch. The subscriptions in India start from INR 199 per month, which is pretty amazing for the available content. From original web series and movies to a list of existing classic movies and the upcoming releases. It also has a clean user interface, making it easier for you to navigate through.
3. Sony LIV
If you are more inclined towards Bollywood movies and want a good collection of the same, Sony LIV has to be the best platform. It hosts some of the classic releases along with the latest updates. Aside from movies, the platform also hosts original web series and TV shows from all the available Sony channels available. So, if you want to stream everything similar to that, we’d suggest you get a subscription. The subscription is a little expensive if you go for the monthly option, so instead, choose the yearly subscription plan.
4. Amazon Prime Video
Amazon Prime Video is a bonus option that not just helps you stream some amazing content, it also lets you get next-day deliveries and special perks on your Amazon purchases. So, you get the benefit of two in one. It is also a subscription-based platform and comes with a yearly subscription plan, which is a pretty reasonable and good option. One good thing about this platform that makes it a worthy option is the versatility of the content.
5. Disney Hotstar
This is another free cum paid subscription platform that lets you have an option of streaming the available free content along with the premium content that you need to pay for. Even for this, we’d suggest you opt for the yearly subscription plan which costs around INR 1000 and is a reasonable option. Aside from movies and web series, the platform also hosts animated cartoons, movies, docu-series, and a whole lot of TV shows.
6. Popcorn Flix
People have a misconception that Popcorn flix is an illegal streaming platform. It isn’t actually. It is quite an underrated streaming platform that lets you binge-watch some of your favorite content without any hassle. The platform is predominantly known for its range of amazing movies collection. So, if you are looking for an alternative for Mkvmoviespoint for the variety of movies, this is likely one of the best available options that you can binge-watch.
7. Big Flix
Talking about the underrated platform for video streaming, Big Flix is the next big option on the list. Unlike the other ones, this one does have an underwhelming collection of movies but the quality and versatility of the content make up for the lack of movies. If you are looking for some good movies to binge-watch, this is a pretty good option that you can scroll through. It is available in both the desktop and the mobile version, so you can use it the way you want.
Another good platform for free content on the internet is YouTube. While you do get videos from independent creators that you can view and stream, there are a collection of movies on this platform that are chargeable. This means that you will have to pay extra money to purchase or rent out the movies on this platform. But, if you are desperate to watch some good quality movies that aren’t available anywhere else, making that small investment is not a very bad option.
9. Sony Crunch
Another subsidiary under Sony, Crunch is a pretty good platform when we are discussing legal alternatives for Mkvmoviespoint. It does host a range of amazing movies and even better-quality TV shows and series that you can download or stream on this platform. One downside to this platform is the lack of trending content. It does have a very limited library of movies and shows but the quality of the movies makes up for the lack of availability.
10. MX Player
Last but not least on the list is MX Player. It is quite an underrated option but there is a pretty amazing range of Hollywood, Bollywood, and regional language movies that you can download and binge-watch. Aside from the general movies, the platform also hosts a range of adult web series that you generally wouldn’t find on the other available platforms on the internet. So, if you want a platform that keeps up with all your entertainment needs, this is hands down the best available option.
11. Airtel Xstream
If you are looking for legal alternatives to Mkvmoviespoint, you can consider this one as an option. You can find numerous movies and TV shows on this website. It is also available as an application so you can directly download the app to your device. It features a wide range of content that can be watched in very high-quality visuals. Though this website cannot be used for free there are a few contents that can be watched for free. To say it that way, it is a freemium website that consists of both paid and free-to-watch content.
Voot is another popular platform that is used for streaming and downloading different types of content. One can find a wide variety of movies, TV shows, and short videos on this platform. There are many additional features offered by this website such as dark mode, subtitles, playback option, etc. The majority of the content that is featured on this website is free to watch but for some of them, you must have a subscription. With a subscription, you can get access to almost all of its content. You can also find different genres of content on this website. There is a download option too which allows you to save the content for watching it later when you are offline.
13. Vi Movies & TV
You can watch unlimited movies and TV shows with Vi Movies & TV. There are many documentaries, short videos, and a lot of other content on this platform. If you are a Vodafone network user, you can use this platform for free without having to pay any extra charges. You can watch all of its content in HD visuals with excellent sound quality. You can either stream or download content from the website of this platform or you can also install the application to your device. You can find lots of the latest movies on this platform along with subtitles to help you in deciding which content you should watch.
1. Is Mkvmoviespoint banned in India?
India does have very strict policies when it comes to online piracy and illegal content surfacing on varying platforms. If you are here struggling to keep a check on the website on Google search, the website may be banned in India. But, the restriction does not pertain always and there are times when it is directly available for you to stream the content directly.
2. Does Mkvmoviespoint require a VPN?
Not necessarily. In case you can’t seem to find the website popping up on the search results on Google, it is likely that the website is banned or restricted in your country. If that is the case, you might need to opt for the VPN services to get a hang of things. But, if the website doesn’t surface even with a VPN, it is likely discontinued. You need to look for some of the mirror websites in that case.
3. Is Mkvmoviespoint a safe website?
Yes, despite it being an illegal and pirated movie website, the content available on this platform is free. This means that you wouldn’t have to worry about personal information or the threat of malware. It also doesn’t require any kind of registration or sign-ups which further keeps your identity concealed.
We have mentioned from the starting of the article that Mkvmoviespoint is an illegal movie streaming platform. In that case, it is illegal to download from this website. We intend to never promote piracy or illegal representation of content on other websites. We appreciate the kind of work and the efforts that the creators put into making a movie, so we’d always suggest our readers opt for the legal alternatives that we have mentioned in the article. If you are here for some free movie streaming platforms, we have mentioned some in the list too. So, try and be conscious of the content that you are consuming online and ensure that the same is coming from an authoritative website. We intend to provide our readers with the knowledge and not promote piracy.

Each of these programs has been designed to support you at the many stages of success, growth, and dreams, you have each achieved. It would be my honor to support you in any way I can as you allow the leader within you to shine, define the journey you choose to walk, and fly into the you that you have always known was there.
MY SIGNATURE GROUP PROGRAM:
TRANSITIONING INTO FREEDOM, TRANSFORMATION, AND PASSION
Along with Power, Impact, and Purpose
A Ten-Month Program for Women in Transition
When you are in a time of major life Transition it’s an opportunity for you to grieve what is being left behind (whether you chose to leave it or not.). For many, it’s actually the dreams they had wanted it to be, rather than what it became that they are grieving.
Recognizing that grief is a part of transition is important. However, the most powerful and exciting parts of transition – yes exciting – are those that call you to envision where you are going and who you want to become. That freedom-based process calls you to create a life you love and one that allows you absolute freedom to be the you you’ve been called to BE.
If you see life as a spiritual journey, you recognize that there is a reason for everything. You are being called to more, to reaching further, to greater risks, to a fuller experience of living passionately, vibrantly, and fully alive. That door closed for a reason even if it is not obvious now.
Too commonly, folks simply replace what was lost with something or someone similar. What if you brought in something or someone that is far more in alignment with who you have become? The previous choice was made before you had the experiences, wisdom, knowledge, and growth you have now. Rather than going back to the who you were when you made the choice that no longer works, why not look at what fits who you are today and who you want to become with new experiences, outlooks, and opportunities?
FOR THOSE SEEKING MORE IN-DEPTH PERSONALIZED WORK THROUGH PRIVATE COACHING
How do you know when it’s time to Consider One-One Coaching?
People consider private coaching for a variety of reasons, most always at the bottom of it all however is a sense of overwhelm, confusion, and loss. It is as if they have disappeared from their lives while they undertook their dreams, their ambitions, their responsibilities, commitments, and more. Many can’t even remember why they chose as they did.
Questions to consider:
- Does your mindset or communication style impede your ability to move forward?
- Have you achieved a dream and realized after the fact that it wasn’t really what you wanted? Do you feel like you made a mistake?
- Do you have goals but you just can’t seem to make them happen? Or have you forgotten and lost sight of them all together?
- Are you procrastinating or sabotaging yourself, preventing you from reaching your goals?
- Have you hit an obstacle and let it stop you? Have you lost your passion, drive, and commitment yet know you can’t just quit?
- Do you have family and friends who aren’t supportive of your ambitions? Have you fallen into the trap of making other people happy instead of yourself?
- Are you having trouble trusting your gut and intuition? Is your inner critic getting in the way?
- Are you struggling to find the resources you need to make your goals/dreams come true?
- Don’t know what next steps to take TODAY to move you closer to achieving them?
Let me help you get clear, concise, empowered, and energized to reach those dreams and even more, in joy, greater vision, and infinite permission to come alive. Rediscovering who you were but even more who you have become!

Women Leaders – C-Suite & Entrepreneurs Network
Receiving the support, growth opportunities, and guidance wanted while connecting with other like-minded powerful women without the fees or expectations of working with a coach individually.
This group supports women in learning from each other. Women have a unique way of doing self-sabotage. A unique set of beliefs, behavior patterns, and fears that prevent them from owing their leadership, or claiming it when they are finally given the role they have worked so hard for. As a result, they can end up dealing with the frustration that comes when they feel unheard, invisible, or overwhelmed.
The nuances of effective leadership as well as establishing a culture that defines your goals for the department or the company itself, can seem illusive. Yet they are not …They are simply a few steps away.
I am founding the Women Leaders – C-Suite & Entrepreneurs Network with a mission to support the power and authenticity of global women leaders through connection, shared resources, and Master Minding as needed in a safe environment.
Too many leaders are left feeling alone with no one they can truly share their struggles or questions with who both understands their situation and who can also put it in perspective.
This group is help fill that void. Expanding your connections, influence, and support system can only help your growth, your perspective, and your joy. A think-tank on over-drive!
The ability to laugh at your own craziness, to review a situation at work that may be hitting your blind spot, or the chance to brain storm, plus whatever else you may need can be asked for and delivered.
Because your time is precious and sometimes a lot of words aren’t necessary, the closed Facebook group will be provided for the members of this group who want to post an idea, survey, thought and received feedback if wanted.
- Ongoing Leadership Development
- Support & Connection with Peers and Mentors, Master Minding
- Ever-Present Think Tank – Opportunity to Brainstorm
- Leadership Resources, Referrals & Networking
- Private FB Group with ready contact for questions or brainstorming
- Discount to any programs created throughout your membership.

Behavior problems are a common reason why pet birds are relinquished to shelters. Many of these “problem” behaviors are normal bird behaviors that pet owners do not expect or accept. What if you could help pet owners understand, prevent, and manage these avian behaviors before they give up on their birds?
In this webinar, exotic animal veterinarian and board certified behaviorist Valarie Tynes, DVM, Dipl. ACVB, will discuss how to recognize the most commonly seen pet avian behavior problems. She will also explore why these problems develop and how to aid bird owners and potential adopters. Her guidance will also be useful for shelters and rescue who care for birds.
This webinar will benefit any shelter, rescue or foster parent who cares for birds or who responds to pet bird owners and potential adopters. This is the fourth session in a four-part avian care webinar series.

This past week has been an outright battle between the A’s and Astros, chomping at each other’s heels for rights to the first place spot in the AL West. The A’s fought hard to surpass the leader, but Houston wouldn’t relinquish their grip on the throne. One and a half games separate the two teams, but with a three game stretch in toasty Texas starting up today, things are about to get a little more heated.
While the A’s didn’t have any luck at topping Houston, Khris Davis has been slugging on to his own place at number one.
Khrush cracked his 39th homer on Thursday, finally surpassing Boston’s JD Martinez to claim his spot as sole league leader. Khrush is one shot away from his third consecutive 40+ HR season; all three have been since he was acquired by Oakland.
One of those dingers game about a week ago when the A’s hosted 12 kids from Make-A-Wish Bay Area. Prior to the game, Khrush asked the kid he met with to sign his jersey. He wore 10-year-old Anthony Slocumb’s name on his shoulder the entire night, keeping the kid’s name close as he rounded the bases after hitting his home run. (If you’d like a break here to go get some Kleenex, you’re more than welcome, because I had to)
Who else has been on fire since joining our bunch? Mike Fiers, of course! The 6’2”, 202 lb Florida native has a 1.50 ERA and a 3-0 record in his first four starts for us. He’s only given up three walks, while fanning 28 over just 24 innings pitched. He’s a beast. And best of all, he’s our beast.
Player’s Weekend was fantastic again, with a rowdy bunch of boring high-school-locker-room nicknames and a fair jumble of jovial jokes displayed on the shoulders of baseball’s jolly gents. However, this display of joyousness could not save Manaealator from falling victim to a left shoulder impingement, landing him on the DL for a yet-to-be-disclosed amount of time.
We’ve got Brett Anderson on the mound for today’s continuance of the battle for first. The fight is important for more reasons than one as New York crawls farther and farther away with the first place spot in the Wild Card — they currently stand at 4.5 games over Oakland after a painfully easy four game sweep of the down-and-out Orioles.
Dear A’s...I feel like it shouldn’t have taken this long to know it’s Brett with 2 T’s pic.twitter.com/cP8D4bY4Fl— Brett Anderson (@_BAnderson30_) June 19, 2018
Since his call-up on August 3rd, Ramón Laureano has been fantastic, defensively and offensively. Ironically, we originally got him from Houston for Brandon Bailey last November. Thanks, guys! What better time than now for another breakout game or two ... or three ...
Here’s to three games of Laureano defensive mastery, Khrush bombs, and stifling the Astros out of first place on their home turf!
Who rocked the afro the hardest for the A’s?
This poll is closed
Khrush (fro’hawk is included, yes)
Other (photos are a must)

Homeschooling is a method of education where a child is educated at home, rather than in a traditional school setting. Among the different approaches to homeschooling, the traditional homeschooling method is one of the most common. In this approach, parents aim to recreate a traditional school environment in the home and follow a structured curriculum similar to that of a traditional school.
The traditional homeschooling approach focuses on academic subjects such as mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. Parents typically use textbooks, workbooks, and other educational materials to teach these subjects. The goal of traditional homeschooling is to provide children with a solid education that will prepare them for college or the workforce.
Structure and Schedule
One of the key elements of traditional homeschooling is structure and a consistent schedule. This approach follows a traditional school schedule, with designated times for each subject and regular breaks for lunch and recreation. Parents who follow this approach typically provide their children with a daily schedule that outlines what subjects will be studied each day and at what times. This structure helps to create a routine and provides children with a sense of stability and predictability.
Traditional homeschooling is known for its academic rigor. Parents who follow this approach are often motivated by a desire to provide their children with a challenging and comprehensive education. They may set high expectations for their children and require them to complete a significant amount of academic work each day.
While this approach can be rigorous, it also provides children with a strong foundation in academic subjects and can help prepare them for success in college or the workforce. Additionally, because children are taught one-on-one by a parent or teacher, they often receive individualized attention and are able to work at their own pace.
Materials and Resources
Traditional homeschooling requires a significant investment of time and resources. Parents who follow this approach typically purchase textbooks, workbooks, and other educational materials to use in their homeschooling program. They may also enroll their children in online courses or purchase educational software to supplement their education.
In addition to these materials, traditional homeschooling parents may also make use of libraries, museums, and other resources in their local community. They may also participate in homeschooling groups or co-ops, which provide opportunities for socialization and learning with other homeschooled children.
Advantages of Traditional Homeschooling
Traditional homeschooling has several advantages, including:
Children are taught one-on-one by a parent or teacher and are able to work at their own pace. This individualized attention can help children to understand difficult concepts and to make rapid progress in their studies.
Traditional homeschooling is known for its academic rigor, which can help children to develop a strong foundation in academic subjects and to prepare for success in college or the workforce.
Homeschooling allows parents to tailor the curriculum and schedule to the needs and interests of their children. This flexibility can make it easier for children to pursue their passions and to learn in a way that works best for them.
Traditional homeschooling parents may participate in homeschooling groups or co-ops, which provide opportunities for socialization with other homeschooled children. This socialization can help to offset the lack of interaction with peers that can be a challenge in homeschooling.
Disadvantages of Traditional Homeschooling
Like any method of education, traditional homeschooling has its disadvantages, including:
Time and resource commitment
Homeschooling requires a significant investment of time and resources. Parents who follow the traditional homeschooling approach must purchase textbooks, workbooks, and other educational materials, and they may also need to invest in online courses or educational software.
Lack of structure
For some children, the structure and routine of a traditional school environment may be important for their learning and development. Children who are homeschooled using the traditional approach may miss out on this structure and may struggle to develop a consistent routine.
Limited exposure to diversity
Homeschooled children may have limited exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences, which can be an important part of a well-rounded education. This limited exposure may be particularly challenging for children who live in isolated or homogeneous communities.
Homeschooling can be demanding, both in terms of time and energy. Parents who follow the traditional homeschooling approach may experience burnout if they are unable to balance the demands of homeschooling with other responsibilities.

Can I protect my props with VS721
Greg Jackson asked:
Just curious why you don’t recommend 721 on the Bravo III props??? Would you recommend something else? They are not SS/polished.
For your convenience, I’ve highlighted the hyperlinks. Click on the hyperlink to get more information about the selected product.
The reason for not putting the VS721 Bottom Coat on the props is that it is super slippery and will cause the props to slip and cavitate. I would not put anything on the props, just try to keep them as clean as possible by wiping them off with a sponge or Aurora’s Marine Power Mitt from time to time. If they get fouled, use Algex to get them clean again.
Thanks for your question

Tens of thousands of people made their way to the Alamodome to watch the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Jan. 9.
"This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I’m truly blessed to get the chance to be here," said Mark Jackson, West Team defensive end and a Cibolo, Texas, native.
For 16 years, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been the nation’s premier high school football game, bringing together the nation’s top high school players, many of whom have gone on to have successful college and professional careers.
The bowl also highlights top high school band members as well. Many of these students have gone on to receive ROTC scholarships.
"The fact that the Army hosts this event is what really sets it apart because it’s not just business," said John Lambourne, West Team defensive line coach.
The All-American Bowl players and Army soldiers share key attributes including adaptability and versatility that enable them to prevail in challenging situations.
"There is a correlation between the Army and football – you’re counting on the man beside you for your own success and ask him to trust you whole-heartedly to accomplish the common goal of winning," said Shannon Sharpe, honorary coach of the East Team and NFL Hall of Fame member who played for the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
The players and musicians have earned the opportunity to wear the Army colors by demonstrating their dedication to team, community and excellence.
"When I heard that Feleipe was going to the bowl game I was all for it because this is something that he will be able to reflect on and enjoy the rest of his life," said Master Sgt. Don Franks, an Army Reservist with the 290th Military Police Brigade and father of East Team quarterback Feleipe Franks.
Franks said this event is important because it lets the kids realize the importance of the Army values.
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl provides the Army a platform to engage local communities, which supports the development of America’s future leaders and allows Americans the opportunity to better understand how the Army tackles some of the toughest challenges that face the nation.
The players arrived a week early to practice with their new teammates and engage in local community outreach programs.
"My favorite part of this experience was getting to meet new players, coaches and people and build lasting relationships during the past week," Jackson said.
"I believe it was really great that we had the opportunity to participate in the community engagements throughout the week. I hope it inspired the kids to do more community service on their own and give back a little," Lambourne said.
This year, the West Team managed to hold on to an early lead and win the game 37-9.
The Association of the United State Army is proud sponsor of the Army All-American Bowl.
(Editor’s note: This story is based on an article by Sgt. Aaron Ellerman.)

PETITION: Stop The Pay Hike
Canadian Members of Parliament are set to receive a pay raise on April 1st, the same day that the government plans to increase the Carbon Tax. Many citizens are upset about this timing and believe it is unfair to the Canadian people. As a result, a petition has been created calling on Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to Stop The Pay Hike. So far, the petition has gathered 7,763 signatures, with a goal of reaching 10,000.
The issue of partisan donations by judicial and tribunal appointees has also come under scrutiny. The Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) has launched an investigation into suspicions that some judges and tribunal members may still be engaging in partisan political activity. According to the ethical guidelines set by the CJC, judges should cease all partisan political activity once they assume judicial office, including making donations and attending fundraisers. These guidelines were signed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a document titled Open and Accountable Government in 2015, which called for appointees to avoid political activity as much as possible the year prior.
The investigation by the CJC was prompted by a report by the National Post, which raised concerns about the partisan donations of judicial and tribunal appointees. It was revealed that two Ontario Superior Court judges and 15 tribunal members are under investigation. This investigation aims to ensure that the continued service of these individuals does not undermine public confidence in the impartiality, integrity, or independence of the judiciary.
An eight-month investigation by the National Post and the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) found that approximately 76.3% of judges who had made political donations favored the Liberal Party of Canada. Out of the 1,308 judicial and tribunal appointments since 2016, nearly one in five had donated to a political party at least once in the ten years leading up to their appointment. Some appointees had made partisan donations as small as $250 before their appointment. Furthermore, it was discovered that at least 15 of the appointees had donated to the Liberal Party of Canada.
The investigation also revealed that Liberal appointees from various tribunals, including the Parole Board of Canada, the Immigration and Refugee Board, the Social Security Tribunal, and the Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal, had made partisan donations since 2016. This has raised concerns about the lack of transparency and diversity in the judiciary, as well as potential political influence in Canada’s courts.
The appointment process for judges and tribunal members has been criticized as “fundamentally political” due to the involvement of the Cabinet in making appointments. Critics argue that this process leads to the perception of partisan affiliation among those who are appointed. They call for greater transparency and efforts to address the lack of diversity in the judiciary to restore public confidence in Canada’s courts.
Overall, these ongoing issues regarding the pay hike for Members of Parliament and partisan donations by judicial and tribunal appointees have sparked a public outcry in Canada. Citizens are demanding fairness and transparency in government actions and appointments, highlighting the importance of upholding the principles of accountability and impartiality in public office.

The U.S. government has announced an additional annual tariff on Airbus commercial aircraft, starting 18 October. Imposed tariffs by The World Trade Organization (WTO) will come into force on $7.5 billion (£6.1 billion) of goods the U.S. imports from the EU, including items ranging from aircraft to cheese. The largest penalty of its kind in the organisation’s history. U.S. trade officials said the tariffs would be set at a 10% rate on aircraft and 25% on agricultural and other items. In retaliation, Brussels has threatened to impose tariffs against U.S. goods. The tariffs are the latest chapter in a saga

Yesterday I swatched and reviewed the new Lip Caramels by 100% Pure, and today I am sharing photos and thoughts on their new Gemmed Lip Glosses. These immediately made me smile when I opened them. They remind me of these little mini glittery lip glosses made by LipSmackers from like… 15 years ago. Anyone remember these? They came in really tiny (1.5 inch tubes that were so cute I couldn’t throw them away. I think I still have them stashed somewhere in a box of my old things at my parents house. Anyway, the Gemmed Lip Glosses are very similar (even smell fruity) except for one major difference – they’re made with all natural ingredients!
Even the sparkles in these comes from beautiful gemstones, hence their name. That’s right, no plastic glitter. They’re made with natural mineral stones and mica. I’ll have moonstones, labradorite, opals, and sunstones on my lips thank you very much!
These are very sheer, glossy, and understated. They’re great if you want a little something special but don’t want an in your face color. The formula is a bit tacky, however, the shine and moisture lasts a long time on your lips because of it. Not extremely tacky, but your hair will would probably get stuck in this formula if you were to wear your hair down on a windy evening, but otherwise these are really very pretty.
I tried four of the 8 shades these are currently in:
Rainbow Aura – sheer tint of coppery rose with golden glitter
Peacock Ore – sheer tint of warm pink with pink and silvery glitter
Crystal – sheer pink (almost clear) with rainbow glitter
Rose Quartz – sheer raspberry pink with rainbow glitter
It was very difficult to capture these on camera, they just wanted to disappear, but in person they are so crystal-y and shiny and speckled with gorgeous bits of natural glitter.
In the close-up below you can see a bit more detail of the glitter. Had to get this one with a different camera. There isn’t too much glitter and so really a wide range of ages could wear this.
These are vegan and of course cruelty free. They contain extracts of many kinds of fruits including Bilberry, Pomegranate, Red Wine, Cranberry, Blackberry, Peach, and more. I feel like these are so special being made with the semi-precious gemstones and they allow me to indulge the little girl in me that will always love sparkly things without sacrificing my love of all-natural ingredients.
Check back soon as I’ll be doing a giveaway involving 100% Pure very soon! xo – Naomi*DisclaimerThis post includes pr samples. I did not receive compensation for this post and all opinions are always my own.

USCIS Not Considering H-1B Visa Rule Changes
President Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” initiative aims to stop hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, predominantly Indian IT professionals, from keeping their H-1B visas while their green card applications are pending. The goal is to impose new restrictions to prevent abuse and misuse of H-1B visas, aside from ending the provision of granting an extension for those who already have a green card.
The H-1B visa is generally issued for three to six years to employers to hire a foreign worker in a specialty that requires theoretical or technical expertise. H-1B holders who have started the green card process can often renew their work visas indefinitely. The idea of Trump’s initiative is to cause these workers to “self-deport” themselves to open up jobs for Americans.
However, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials have clarified they are not considering a regulatory change that would compel H1-B visa holders to leave the U.S. after the six-year limit. Additionally, such a change would not likely result in these H-1B visa holders having to leave the country since employers could request extensions in one-year increments—instead of the current three-year extensions.
What About H-1B Visa Hopefuls?
Despite the latest announcement by the USCIS, U.S. visa laws have become rigorous since Trump took office in January 2017. One main indicator is an increase in “request for evidence” (RFEs), which are notices the USCIS department sends to H-1B applications requesting further information. According to USCIS data, from last January to November, the office issued approximately 40 percent more RFEs than in all of 2016, and 65 percent more than in all of 2015. An RFE makes the visa process longer and more expensive.
H-1B hopefuls must also pay attention to approval rates. USCIS approved over 90 percent of H-1B applications it processed in fiscal 2017, but that rate declined below 85 percent in the first two months of fiscal 2018.
At Verma Law Firm, our highly specialized professionals have a comprehensive understanding of the U.S. immigration laws to help you navigate the complexities of the system. Our San Jose immigration lawyer will ensure that you H-1B petition process goes smoothly and maximize your chances of approval.

Renowned artist Doug Aitken marked the U.S. premiere of his installation “The Source (evolving)” at New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah with AV support from WorldStage, which provided design consultation, equipment, and programming.
"The Source (evolving)" featured six-channel video projections arrayed along the inner circumference of the cylindrical pavilion's interior and were visible from the outside.
New Frontier at Sundance champions films that expand, experiment with, and explode traditional storytelling. “The Source (evolving)” is a kaleidoscope of fast-paced, candid conversations with pioneers from different artistic disciplines from around the world. Aitken asks these shapers of modern culture where does the creative idea start and what is the journey to the finished creation?
“The Source (evolving)” was housed in the Pavilion, a new 2,000-square-foot circular structure adjacent to Main Street created in collaboration with U.K. architect David Adjaye. Six-channel video projections were arrayed along the inner circumference of the cylindrical structure’s interior and were visible from the outside at night when curtains were withdrawn to allow the screens to be viewed through The Pavilion’s large windows.
Aitken has said that his immersive documentary “examines the entire process of creation, not just the finished result, and speaking directly with the creators whose work has the ability to steer culture in a significant way, ‘The Source (evolving)’ takes viewers on a fast-moving road trip through the modern landscape of creativity.”
WorldStage previously worked with Aitken on “Sleepwalkers,” a multi-screen cinematic experience projected on seven facades of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City; a special single-channel version of that installation was presented at New Frontier at Sundance in 2008.
For “The Source (evolving)” the Pavilion’s partition walls created six adjacent, high-quality viewing theaters each equipped with a Panasonic PT-DZ7700 HD projector and Harkness Hall projection screen, provided by WorldStage. WorldStage also supplied a near-field monitoring sound system and a directional Brown Innovations Soundbeam system for the theaters.
“We not only designed and specified the media components but also the wall construction to minimize crosstalk between the six separate theaters, which is typically an issue for installations like this,” said WorldStage project manager Randy Briggs.
“It was a pleasure to work with Doug Aitken again and to introduce his latest installation in a completely new custom built venue at Sundance,” Briggs continued. “Doug always creates unique experiences, and we’re honored to have collaborated with him on this ground-breaking six-channel projection. He is one of the most interesting voices in multimedia art today”
Aitken also developed an accompanying interactive website for “The Source (evolving),” which connected audiences not attending Sundance with the work and which will serve as a living archive that he will continue to populate with interviews.
For WorldStage, president Josh Weisberg created the system design and acoustics specs, Randy Briggs managed the project, and Paul Clements handled the physical installation.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.Jeremiah 1:5, New King James Version
Single and twenty-three, I was devastated by news that I was pregnant. Though a “good Christian girl” for most of my life, I became sexually active after finishing college. Then one week my long-term boyfriend, who was away in the military, surprised me with a visit. I was unprepared. With future hopes and dreams shattered by an unwanted pregnancy, my life as I knew it was over. But that wasn’t all I was facing.
In the church I was raised, getting pregnant before marriage was notsomething a good Christian girl did. The shame and fear that flooded my being threatened to overwhelm me. How would I tell my parents?
Fully aware of the sanctity of life, I knew that abortion was wrong. But as I faced the crippling shame of people discovering what I had done, it seemed like the lesser of two evils. Deliberately turning my back on everything I knew, I made the decision to abort.
Young and naïve, I had no idea how to go about getting an abortion. I turned to the yellow pages of the phone book for answers and saw an entry for a crisis pregnancy clinic. “Crisis” fit my mindset perfectly, so I made the call and scheduled an appointment.
The day arrived, and a friend dropped me off. Bracing myself, I entered the clinic door, unsure of what I would face. A counselor greeted me warmly. After a brief session where I shared that I was looking for abortion information, she escorted me to a small, comfortable room to watch a short film.
The film began, and image after image of a tiny developing baby flashed before my eyes. Face to face with the very truth I had tried to escape, I could no longer deny that there was indeed a tiny life inside me. As I watched, I grew more and more convinced that I couldn’t go through with my decision.
Afterward, my counselor sat with me. The tears flowed freely as I poured out my heart to her, sharing my secret disgrace and fears about the future. She listened quietly, making a comment here or there. I don’t remember exactly what she said, but I do remember one thing: her compassion.
I believe the Lord ordered my steps that day in 1986. When I think back on it, it’s ironic that of all the places I could have gone for abortion information, I ended up in one of the few places that affirms the sanctity of life. The truth and godly compassion I received empowered me to choose life in the face of an uncertain future. And today I have a son who is walking with the Lord and pursuing his God-ordained destiny. I am so thankful.
Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, the number of abortions in the United States alone has reached sixty million—that’s 60,000,000 people—nearly one-fifth of the current U.S. population.
But there is something we can do to help stem the abortion tide. We can pray and vote pro-life. We can also support nationwide Christ-centered organizations like Care Net and Heartbeat International, who are fighting the battle against abortion one child at a time by arming women with truth and life-affirming choices.
For more on the sanctity of life, you can check out Andrew’s teaching Christian Philosophy, or order the Choose Life! Resource Kit.

Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index Week 10: America re-engages
Americans are increasingly stepping out for social calls amid the pandemic — making playdates for their kids, restarting visits with elderly relatives, even grabbing a haircut, according to the latest installment of the Axios-Ipsos Coronavirus Index.
Why it matters: They're enabled and emboldened by states that have begun reopening, even as infections in the U.S. near 1.5 million and office closures and work-from-home arrangements remain in effect.
- This testing the waters breaks down heavily along partisan and regional lines.
- People still perceive social interactions as risky, but are being drawn to some anyhow as they crave creature comforts and the company of loved ones.
What they're saying: "There's still this high level of perceived risk about the COVID-19 world, but people are poking their heads out now," said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos U.S. Public Affairs. "The overall trend is, everything's jumping up."
- "The restrictions are being lifted in some places; in other places there's this expectation they will be lifted."
- "They're venturing out in a safe way. They're using some of the basic social distancing, masks and six feet apart."
By the numbers: Southerners lead the push for haircuts, meals out and playdates, and that's in keeping with the pace of where restrictions are being lifted. Visits with the elderly are less about where you live than whether you're old enough to have elderly parents.
- Southerners are three times as likely to have gone out for a haircut in the last week (9%) as Northeasterners (3%).
- Southerners (16%) are twice as likely as Northeasterners (8%) to have gone out to eat in the past week.
- Parents in the South (41%) and Midwest (38%) are more than twice as likely as parents in the Northeast (17%) to have let their children play with other children in the past week.
- Overall, 15% of respondents say they visited elderly relatives in the last week, the highest share in nine weeks; that share shoots up to 23% among those ages 50-64.
Between the lines: Americans see it as safer to re-engage with people they know than to re-engage with society overall. At the same time, there's a widening gulf as Republicans see less risk with both sets of interactions than Democrats.
- People who say attending in-person gatherings with friends and family outside their households is a large or moderate risk dropped from 81% in mid-April to 64%. (The split between Republicans and Democrats on this question grew from 14 points to 27 points over that time.)
- Those who say returning to their pre-coronavirus life would pose a large or moderate risk dropped far less over the same period, from 72% to 68%. (That split between Republicans and Democrats grew from 21 points to 36 points.)
The big picture: Week 10 of our national survey finds about one in three continue to self-quarantine; six in 10 people use video conferencing to connect with family and friends; eight in 10 wear a mask outside the home; and 84% of Americans say attending a sporting event would be a large or moderate risk.
- But there are subtle signs that people are growing weary of social distancing: 87% now say they practice it, down from 92%. The survey also found potential tension points with people who say they're following social distancing rules but perceive that others aren't.
- Meanwhile, the survey found some good news for efforts to implement contact tracing programs to contain the spread of the virus. Most say they're open to sharing information about who they've been in contact with, if the tracing is done by local health officials and doesn't involve sharing data from their cell phones.
Methodology: This Axios/Ipsos Poll was conducted May 15-18 by Ipsos' KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 1,009 general population adults age 18 or older.
- The margin of sampling error is ±3.3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample of adults.

Behind every great singer is a great coach. No, we’re not talking about the celebrity judges on “The Voice” (though we’re sure they’re very helpful, too). Vocal coaches help artists of all levels not only find their voice, but use it to bring characters and songs to life. If you’re curious about enlisting the help of a vocal coach, here are some things to consider, including what to look for in a coach, how to choose one, and how much you should spend.
A vocal coach is someone who works with their clients to hone their musical style and performance technique. Looking at specific pieces and texts, a coach can guide a singer through elements such as phrasing, pronunciation, interpretation, and dramaturgy. Often, they will also provide piano accompaniment, allowing the singer to rehearse in a manner more reflective of live performance.
Actors and singers preparing for an audition or a particular role may seek coaching to fine-tune their interpretation of the character. Rather than teach you how to sing from the ground up, a vocal coach helps identify your skill set and shows you how to use it to enhance specific material. Opera singers adding a new role to their repertoire, film stars taking on a movie musical, and newcomers about to enter the world of Broadway auditions can all benefit from a vocal coach.
If you are already taking lessons with a voice instructor, a lot of what a vocal coach provides may feel redundant. But the two are not necessarily interchangeable. Depending on your needs, there are benefits to working with one over the other—or possibly even both.
While a voice teacher will typically focus on building your voice as an instrument, a vocal coach will help you channel those skills into a certain style of repertoire. After building an understanding of the fundamentals, a vocal coach can help bring those skills into a dramatic context, from picking out material to analyzing it musically and textually.
“A top-notch vocal coach will understand what healthy singing is and will never let a singer hurt the voice,” voice teacher and the Juilliard School faculty member Badiene Magaziner told Backstage. “They will support the voice teacher’s efforts in the development of the student.”
In order to book the right vocal coach for you, start by identifying the top coaches in your area. Next, collect price quotes, and look for demos, recordings, or testimonials that paint a picture of their clients’ work.
- A degree in vocal performance
- An understanding of your desired style
- A good ear
- Someone who makes you comfortable
She also warned: “If you leave a voice lesson feeling vocally fatigued, that is generally a red flag.”
As you choose a prospective vocal coach, be ready with some questions that will help you get a sense of their approach and if they’re a good fit for you. Austin-based vocal coach Adam K. Roberts recommends asking: “What’s your philosophy for training the voice?” Their response, he told Backstage, should indicate a fluency in the anatomy and physiology of the voice, as well as an understanding of your desired career path’s industry standards.
Several factors come into play when determining what a vocal coach might charge. Classes are generally higher in an entertainment hub like New York or Los Angeles versus in a smaller city. Singing Lessons NYC (which, despite its name, offers lessons across the country) charges on average $133.75 for sessions in New York City versus $100 in San Diego and Nashville. Coaches can offer different session lengths based on your goals. Meli Malavasi, for example, provides 30-, 45-, and 60-minute lessons on a sliding scale. A one-off session may have a higher hourly rate than sessions purchased in a bundle; as of May 2022, Elizabeth de Deus of Modern Melodist charges $105 for an individual session and $72.50 per meeting for a 12-session bundle. Lastly, an online session could be less expensive than heading into the studio (more on that below).
Another element to consider is the coach’s expertise and client roster. New York Vocal Coaching offers hour-long sessions with its associate teachers, senior associate teachers, and the head of vocal development for $100, $125, and $150, respectively. A lesson with celebrated vocal coach Liz Caplan, whose clients have included Hugh Jackman, Amy Adams, Tiffany Haddish, and Jake Gyllenhaal, might set you back a bit more (and may be harder to lock in).
What this means is that there is a vocal coach out there for you. These variables can be adjusted to ensure you find someone who fits your needs and is within your budget.
Whether you’re looking for less costly coaching or you’d like to test the vibe with someone before committing, many studios offer virtual coaching sessions. These tend to be set at lower rates than in-person sessions, but they can still be extremely effective. In fact, virtual vocal coaching comes with some perks.
“You may even discover new things,” San Francisco–based coach Heather Vox told Backstage. Vox began incorporating more virtual sessions into her offered services over the past two years. “You can look at your face while you’re doing things, so when your coach is like, ‘Let’s try to get more of a vertical shape,’ you’ve got that mirror right there. There are nuances that you may discover that you hadn’t before in your in-person sessions.”
Looking for a more low-key option? There’s an app for that. One hails from aforementioned vocal-coach-to-the-stars Liz Caplan. Aimed at professional and aspiring singers alike, Liz Caplan Vocal Coach (available for iOS) offers bite-sized warm-ups, exercises, and more for various styles of singers.

It is extremely common for a performer (professional singers included) to work with a vocal coach when preparing for a role that involves singing. Here are just a few examples of the stars who’ve carried a tune onscreen—and the coaches who helped them get there.
Bradley Cooper reportedly spent 18 months finding Jackson Maine’s gravelly speaking and singing voice for his adaptation of “A Star Is Born.” For the latter, he worked with vocal coach Roger Love. “I had no idea how to breathe. I knew nothing about singing—nothing,” Cooper told NPR. “It’s because I was a good student and listened to great teachers I was able to do it.” And just because his co-star Lady Gaga is an established pop singer doesn’t mean she rules out vocal coaches. For her tribute to “The Sound of Music” at the 2015 Oscars, Gaga worked with a coach every day for six months to tap into the upper register needed to sing the Rodgers and Hammerstein score.
Sometimes, it’s helpful to work with a vocal coach even when audiences won’t hear you sing. Before her singing debut in “Dear Evan Hansen,” Julianne Moore played an opera superstar in the film “Bel Canto.” Renée Fleming provided the character’s singing voice, and Moore worked with Fleming’s own vocal coach to understand what goes into performing an aria. When filming, she wasn’t lip-syncing; she was actually singing to convincingly display the proper technique. Getting dubbed by a renowned soprano certainly helped in the end, but so did proper coaching.

22. Join or form a bilingual Toastmasters club.
Toastmasters International has chapters in many countries and has been helping people learn public speaking for years. The structure of a Toastmasters meeting is a proven success. Everyone speaks at every meeting. On different occasions, you might make a prepared speech, reply to an impromptu question, lead a formal part of the meeting, or give your critique of another member’s speech, all in addition to socializing and small talk.
For three years, I belonged to a bilingual Toastmasters club. Some of the members were trying to improve their public speaking ability in English and some in Spanish. The business of the meeting and most of the social exchanges were in Spanish.
If this idea appeals to you and you can’t find a bilingual club to join, it would be worth the effort to organize one yourself. The variety of speaking experiences in a typical meeting makes you stay alert and gives you useful practice in formal and informal situations.

June 22, 2022 – The Debtors requested Court authority to (i) access $1.5mn in debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing ($500k interim) from prepetition lenders 37 Baking Holdings, LLC (recently formed to acquire the debt) and (ii) use cash collateral [Docket No. 15]. The DIP Term Sheet is attached as Exhibit B to the motion.
On June 22, 2022, Gold Standard Baking LLC and two affiliated debtors (“GSB” or the “Debtors”) filed for Chapter 11 protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court noting estimated assets between $100.0mn and $500.0mn; and estimated liabilities between $100.0mn and $500.0mn ($140.0mn of funded debt).
At filing, the Debtors, “one of the largest industrial bakers in the United States” noted their intention to pursue an asset sale to 37 Baking Holdings, LLC, an entity formed to acquire the "First Lien Obligations" (see debt table below) by several investment funds and minority-owned by several current GSB employees. On April 26th, 37 Baking Holdings, LLC acquired all the rights/debt of the Debtors' prepetition senior lenders (the "Initial Lenders").
37 Baking Holdings, LLC has entered into a stalking horse agreement with the Debtors further to which it has agreed to purchase the Debtors' assets for an aggregate purchase price consisting of: (i) a credit bid in the amount of a portion of the First Lien Obligations in the amount of $20.0mn and (ii) assumption of certain assumed liabilities (including the DIP financing obligations).
The DIP Motion
The DIP motion [Docket No. 15] explains, “The Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 Cases to maximize the value of their estates for the benefit of all parties in interest through a going-concern sale process. As further described in the First Day Declaration, prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors explored a range of options to address their ongoing challenges related to maintaining sufficient cash flow to satisfy their debt and operational obligations. Ultimately, due to cash flow and other concerns, the Debtors, together with their advisors, expended significant efforts marketing the Debtors’ assets in the months leading up to the Petition Date. This marketing process included significant mailings and calls to targeted, industry specific, potential buyers that the Debtors and their advisors believed might be interested in discussing a potential purchase of the assets.
The culmination of the Debtors’ marketing process was the Debtors’ agreement to enter into an asset purchase agreement with the Prepetition Secured Party and the DIP Facility Lender for the sale of substantially all the Debtors’ assets, subject to a public bidding and auction process with the Prepetition Secured Party and the DIP Facility Lender as the stalking horse (all as subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval).”
Unsurprisingly, the stalking horse/[recently minted] prepetition lender/DIP lender has staked out its position well, leaving it (subject to a pro forma kicking of the fiduciary tires by independent board members as advised by investment banker Houlihan Lokey) as the only "viable, actionable source of debtor-in-possession financing available under the circumstances, particularly given the nature of the Stalking Horse Bid."
A declaration in support of the proposed financing filed by Houlihan Lokey [Docket No. 15] adds: "Given the Debtors’ capital structure and under the current circumstances, the only viable, actionable source of debtor-in-possession financing was with the Prepetition Secured Party and DIP Facility Lender. Based upon my experience, any potential lenders, if any were to make a financing proposal at all, would require priming of the existing secured parties. Furthermore, the Prepetition Secured Party and DIP Facility Lender made it known that it would not consent to a priming loan from a third-party. In my experience, any such attempt, even if actionable by the Debtors, would likely result in expensive and distracting litigation at the outset of these chapter 11 cases that the Debtors do not have the requisite financing to support.
Further, with any third-party proposal, the Debtors would incur the execution risk associated with a new lender transaction, including timing and due diligence constraints, necessarily involving the payment of additional professional fees. In contrast, the proposed consensual DIP Facility and access to Cash Collateral offered by the Prepetition Secured Party and DIP Facility Lender allows the Debtors to avoid such risks at the outset of these chapter 11 cases.
Based on the foregoing, the Debtors believe, and I agree, that the DIP Facility and consensual use of Cash Collateral represents the best (and likely only) financing option available under the circumstances, particularly given the nature of the Stalking Horse Bid. It is also my belief that the economic terms of the DIP Facility are customary for debtor-in-possession financings of this type and were the product of arm’s-length negotiations with the Prepetition Secured Party and DIP Facility Lender."
Key Terms of DIP Financing:
- Borrower: Gold Standard Holdings, Inc., Gold Standard Baking, LLC, and Gold Standard Real Estate, LLC
- DIP Lender: 37 Baking Holdings, LLC
- Term: The maturity date (“Maturity Date”) shall be the earliest to occur of: (i) August 15, 2022; (ii) the closing date following entry of one or more final orders approving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets belonging to the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) the acceleration of any outstanding DIP Loans following the occurrence of an uncured Event of Default (as defined herein), or (iv) entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases either (a) dismissing such case or converting such Chapter 11 Case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) appointing a Chapter 11 trustee or an examiner with enlarged powers relating to the operation of the business of the Debtors (i.e., powers beyond those set forth in the Bankruptcy Code), in each case without the consent of the DIP Facility Lender. All amounts outstanding under the DIP Facility shall be due and payable in full, and the DIP Commitments thereunder shall terminate, on the Maturity Date.
- Commitment: The DIP Facility Lender shall provide a secured, multiple draw term loan credit facility of up to $1,500,000.00 to fund Post-Petition Funding Obligations, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet and Interim Order, provided that $500.000.00 shall be available upon entry of the Interim Order and an additional $1,000,000.00 shall be available upon entry of the Final Order.
- Interest Rate: Interest shall accrue on the Principal Balance based on the portion of the Principal Balance the Debtors have actually drawn, at a per annum fixed rate of 8.00%; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at the fixed rate of 12.00%.
- New Money: $1.5mn
- Roll-Up: N/A
- Use of Proceeds: The Debtors will be permitted to use the proceeds of the DIP Facility to fund the operational, employee, and other costs of the Debtors, and payments related to the working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors, as well as to pursue the orderly sale of their assets through these Chapter 11 Cases, including the payment of professional fees and expenses, and, in each case, consistent with, subject to, and within the categories and limitations contained in, the Budget (as defined herein) (the “Permitted Uses”) and all applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases.
- Milestones: The Debtors shall comply with the following milestones for a sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets (a “Bankruptcy Sale”) in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Sale Milestones”):
- Deadline to obtain the bidding procedures order and the terms of an auction, on terms and in a form acceptable to DIP Facility Lender; no later than sixteen (16) days after the Petition date
- Deadline for an auction, no later than July 28, 2022
- Deadline to obtain order approving the sale to the stalking horse bidder or winner of the auction, no later than August 3, 2022
- Deadline to consummate the Sale; no later than August 15, 2022
As of the Petition Date, the Debtors’ capital structure consists of outstanding funded debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $140.0mn, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the First Lien Term Loan, the Second Lien Term Loan, and the Senior Subordinated Notes.

Ronald Koeman faced the press on Saturday and actually took questions this time around ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Levante at the Camp Nou.
The Dutchman spoke about the speculation regarding his future, offered an update on Ansu Fati and his thoughts on 17-year-old midfielder Gavi.
Here are the best bits:
Koeman on Ansu Fati’s return
It is very important. First for the player, we have a plan and we follow a plan to fully recover Ansu. He will have a process to have minutes. He is called up and he will play a maximum of 15 minutes. The most important thing is to get the player back well, not to rush.
Koeman on rumors
I can’t say much about this because I haven’t been read the press for a long time. I know the rumors are out there, but all we have to do is win games. There are rumors, names. ... It’s your job. I’m not going to waste energy on things I can’t control.
Koeman on hectic fixture list
Of course I agree with Pique. It seems perfect that the players complain about this. We have 48 hours after the game against Cádiz. Players have to defend themselves.
Koeman on touchline ban
I would like to be there, especially in difficult moments. We need three points and it would give us peace of mind. I don’t want to complain about this issue because we won’t gain anything. I have to accept it and try not to repeat it, but I have to learn to stay calm and think of the team. I am human too.
Koeman on Laporta
The president is the most important man in the club, he can speak and give his opinion. I have to be involved in working and wining games, the rest does not interest me.
Koeman on Gavi
We have already said that there are very good young players, with a great future. Gavi may play tomorrow because we only have 17 outfield players available. He’s a young player who has shown in a very short time he has a place in this team.
Koeman on lack of goals
Memphis feels responsible for not scoring to win the game, but he does not have to be obsessed. Against Cádiz we created 4- 5 very clear chances. We have lost players who had effectiveness.
Koeman on Ansu again
There is a long way to go for the player to be as he was. Ansu cannot recover in two games or two weeks, we have to be attentive and help the player. The most important thing is the player. It depends on his condition. He will give us a lot of quality, but little by little.

Our love and respect for our esteemed guests, who have been long with us in our journey that started in 1971 and who have visited us frequently even though they were just acquainted with our Group, have combined with our heartfelt commitment to our business and made Barut Hotels a prestigious and reliable brand for a half century.
There had been many problems experienced in different periods across the world, and these problems were overcome after a while, and replaced by vacation breaks, which we all needed. Vacations offered priceless moments and memories, where we got together with our families, loved ones and friends, and where we sometimes traveled alone and made new friendships, and it will do so again.
We have been struggling with an epidemic disease that affects whole world for a while, under the ever-changing conditions. We, as Barut Hotels, have been working on our procedures including especially those with respect to hygiene and sanitation that concern the health of our guests and employees, through various remote working models we have developed during this course. We will keep updating ourselves in every aspect required, as well as rising up beyond your expectations. You can subscribe to our newsletter and visit our social media platforms and websites to be informed about all campaigns, developments and innovations.
We are looking forward to meet you again after overcoming this difficult period as soon as possible. We wish you happy and healthy days with your family and your loved ones.

Morgantown, WV. – September 24, 2009. The state standings are shaping up to be a two way race for the division champions title and a 5 way race for everything else. Pennsylvania led the first day but West Virginia overtook them today, they are locked in a battle for first place with only 7 ounces between them. West Virginia who is the defending Champions from 2008 finished with 51.03 and Pennsylvania had 50.12, tomorrow’s final day will tell the story is West Virginia can win back to back division titles. New Jersey moved up today and is holding down the third place slot with 35-09.
West Virginia angler Robby Fleshman, was the only angler to weigh in a limit both days of competit
ion and is leading the individual overall division champion’s race. His two day total is 11-08. IF he weighs a limit tomorrow he might be tough to beat. Fleshman was closed lipped about what he is doing as the bite is tough and every ounce will count here this week. Sitting in second place was yesterday leader Jeff Miller who slipped one spot to finish with 9-04. Willie Adkins form West Virginia caught 3 today that moved him into the number three spot at 7.07. Eric Heil and Damien McMahon rounded out the top five with 7.06 and 6.13 respectively.
The only other limit caught today (besides Fleshman’s) was captured by 18 year old PA angler Matt Hartman. Matt just fished the 2009 National Guard Junior Angler World Championship through the TBF ranks, and then turned around and qualified through the adult ranks to fish with the Pennsylvania state team, he obviously is an angler to watch in the coming years and today he bested 82 other older more experienced championship qualifiers today with a 5.02 limit that moved him up into 7th overall and 3rd on the PA team. Never in the Federations 40 year history has a junior angler qualified for both the National Guard Junior Angler World Championship and the TBF Federation National Championship, Presented by The National Guard in the same year, we will see tomorrow!
Final day weigh in begins at the Ruby Hazel Park in downtown Morgantown, WV. It is free to the public.

From the so-called “historical data1” for the barrio of Muzon 2nd in the town of Alitagtag, Batangas, we hear of this forgotten legendary story about something of a Robin Hood figure in Spanish-era Batangas. His name was Roman Abratigue, and whether he was from Batangas or not, the source document failed to say.
What the source did say was that Abratigue was a tulisan or a bandit; and that he and his group’s plunders brought them “to the different towns of Batangas and Mindoro.”
|Image credit: Bamboo Tales at Project Guttenberg.|
The histories of barrios around Batangas are replete with stories of indiscriminate plunder by the tulisanes or bandits who were, therefore, regarded as nuisances and looked upon with both fear and disdain by locals.
Abratigue, on the other hand, was regarded in an altogether different light. His exploits were remembered in Batangas “with a certain fondness akin to admiration.”
This was because this particular tulisan targeted only the convents and was something of a Robin Hood figure. The convent in this context was the residence of the friars. That they were targeted suggests the presence of “riches;” and that looting them drew admiration from the locals places the setting of the story as likely the 19th century.
Whether Abratigue shared his loot with locals, the source did not say; albeit it was likely.
The bandit was fondly remembered as “Romang Gabi” because, according to the story, “he was said not to get wet which is a characteristic of the gabi (taro) plant.” He had in his possession probably a variety of charms or amulets, two of which were described by the source document:
“He also had other amulets like “Bungang kalog” which made him [an] impregnable target to bullet shots. He also possessed a “taga-bulag,” a charm that enraged the Spanish soldiers who frequently trailed him. He would lean back against a wall or post and anyone could walk past him without seeing him.”
Once, he was pursued by the Guardia Civil to Sambi, a sitio of the barrio of Tadlac in the town of Alitagtag2. Fighting took place between the Spanish soldiers and Abratigue’s band of tulisanes. Abratigue himself was said to have “danced among the sugarcane plants within shooting range, but he was unscathed.”
Spanish authorities did find a way to make him surrender. They “maltreated his relatives and neighbors, exhorting them to yield the notorious bandit.” At the pleadings of his kinsfolk, Abratigue finally decided to turn himself in.
He was said to have been “imprisoned for some time” and that, upon his release, “he left for good the charmed life he led as a bandit.”

Gloucester co-owner Ryan Walkinshaw has been stepped up to become executive chairman at Kingsholm.
The 24-year-old takes over from David McKnight, who had filled the role since January 2011 when the Gloucester board was revamped following the death of Ryan's father, Tom Walkinshaw.
However, McKnight will stay on as a non-executive board member.
Walkinshaw told BBC Gloucestershire: "Fortunately, the club have deemed me worthy to come on board."
The reshuffle comes after managing director Ken Nottage announced he would be leaving the club after 13 years, to be replaced by finance director Chris Ferguson.
There has also been movement within the coaching staff during the close season, with Scarlets boss Nigel Davies appointed head coach following Bryan Redpath's resignation.
Walkinshaw continued: "It's been discussed over the past few months and we thought it was time to start preparing ourselves to move forward."
Former DJ Walkinshaw, who also looks after his family's motorsport businesses, took on a non-executive role following the passing of his father in 2010.
He will now be working for the club rather than in a consultancy role, and will be involved in the day-to-day running of the Premiership outfit.
"It's been a steep learning curve but hugely fulfilling and enjoyable," Walkinshaw added.
"It's been hard work and there's been a lot of things going on.
"But Ken's guidance has been invaluable to me. I couldn't have done it without him.
"He had ambitions to move on with his career prior to my father's passing and he postponed that to help me settle into this role.
"For that, I couldn't ever thank him enough."

I turned 43 GULP on Sunday, and after the stress of making sure Brighid’s party was perfect, I was glad to have a low key day planned. Jim had given us a subscription to the theatre for Christmas, and as luck would have it, we had tickets to see Man of La Mancha on Saturday night. My mom offered to do a sleep over with Eilis and Granuaile, so Jim and Brighid and I went to the show. I had a lot of running to do on Saturday, but managed a shower and putting on decent clothes to go out. After the show, we came back to the diner to grab something to eat. Jim’s waitress was there – the same girl that waits on us every Thursday night. Brighid got to see first hand how she pampers Jim – bringing him his big glass of water right away, already knowing what he is ordering, having his rice pudding packed to go.
I woke up the usual time on Sunday, and Brighid and I went to Target to pick up some fall things for Eilis and Granuaile. Brighid got a few pieces, too, and the one piece was a grey sweater that is adorable. It will be so cute over a black turtelneck and jeans or even black slacks. It’s just cute. We then went and picked up Eilis and Granuaile and headed to Sakura for lunch. The kids like it there, and they have a great soup.
We dropped the girls off at home and went to the supermarket, where we got stuff to grill. My mother-in-law had left us with corn and watermelon, so we planned to roast the corn on the grill and picked up steak to go with it. The corn was SUPER sweet and even though I can’t eat it, I took a big bite and chewed it until it had no flavor left – it was so good. We set up a picnic outside and the kids had a great time running around and playing in the yard, swinging and sliding until it was getting time to get ready for bed.
The weather was so great – very fall like weather – and I got to use the camera I got as my birthday gift to take some nice pictures of the kids. It was just a nice, relaxing birthday. I wouldn’t mind 40 or 50 more just like it.
