You expect your pocket squares to be soft pieces of fabric with unique patterns. You don’t expect them to be made from internationally sourced linen with an edge crocheted by hand. Which means you’re in for a great surprise in a minute.
Things to do for September 28, 2016
Everyone Likes Perfect Jeans, Epic Breakfasts and Weird Sci-Fi from a Nolan
Also, Most People Like WeekendsBy Ilana Dadras
Maybe one day, Leslie Jones will live-tweet the weekend.
One Giant Step for Jeans-Kind
For those who’ve grown weary of raw denim. For those who are tired of waiting for their New Standards to reach that just-right level of worn-in. For those who just want a pair of jeans that look like you’ve had them forever, but don’t want to have to have them forever... Behold the glory of these 501 Shrink-to-Fit Levi’s.
This Is a Book About Nachos. It Comes with a Cheese Grater.
Books aren’t just books now. Nope. You order books with corresponding accompaniments: like a tome dedicated to nachos (plus a cheese grater), a book on brewing coffee (plus a pour-over press) and a guide to entertaining (plus some walnut serving platters, a carafe and a wine key). So you can read, and then do the things you read about, you see.
Your Next Hangover Stands No Chance Before Pancake Lasagna
There exists an LA chef who concocted pancake lasagna to cure our hangovers. It consists of layers of pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs and cheese, with maple béchamel in between. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear aprons, and have an affinity for breakfast foods.
You’ll Want to Throw These Things on Your Calendar
Bon Iver’s new album is almost here. Jonathan Nolan’s revamp of Westworld is about to hit HBO. The Formula 1 Grand Prix is imminent. Those, and some other pressing culture happenings you’ll want to have on your autumnal radar, right this way.
Think You Can Handle a 1,200-Mile Bike Trip?
Granted, you’ll be on a mountain bike, speeding from Chile to Patagonia, through lava fields and bamboo forests, stopping occasionally to soak in hot springs and sample Chilean wines. You got this.

The WASSCE which commenced in West Africa yesterday has recorded no much difficulties amidst the pandemic.
Well, it seems things are becoming difficult for the handsome twins of Actress Afia Schwarzenegger as it has been alleged that James Ian Geiling and John Irvin Geiling were earlier prevented from joining other colleagues to sit for the examination.
Reports have it that, the very headmaster in the person of Mr Bernard Hall Baidoo practically effected this refusal.
It has also being alleged through social media reports that the twin brothers were denied entry over a suspicion that they might have contracted Covid19 shortly after the students returned from home.
This comes after the government and the Ministry Of Education laid down provions and protocols which suggest the school has to ensure they test negative before being allowed to write the exams.
Morw updates will be made available soon with regards to this particular issue…
Readera should kindly note that there hasn’t been yet any substantial evidences covering this news…

There's an exciting energy in the air and it's the shift from summer to fall. It's that time of year to catch nature's most beautiful display: Wildflowers and Meteor Showers. Pack up the tent and let's go camping!
July - August is the perfect time to enjoy meteor showers and Wasatch mountain flowers!
In nature, the last of summer surprisingly blooms in the high mountains. High hikes open way to flower fields in the day and meteor showers by night! Two of the world's rare sights that spark a sense so grateful to be alive.
One of my favorite places to go is Cedar Breaks National Monument
Best hike for wildflowers: Rampart Trail
Wasatch Beardtongue aka Wasatch Penstemon
Children of the Wild Variety
It's about 2-3 miles on the rim of a galactic orange rock valley that once sat at the bottom of an ancient sea bed. This hike is fun for kids. Stimulating for adults and great for making memories as a family. Add a road trip of camping adventure in Cedar Breaks to your bucket list & check out this list of 6 additional Meteor Showers you can see happening this summer from Space.com
Bonus: Best National Parks for Stargazing

We made it! This is the last of the 3 blogs it took to cover the questions (18 in total) from last week’s “Ask me” blog. Lots to cover, but….we’re in the home stretch!
As a humorous note on the “home stretch” comment – some of you might know that I am a competitive cyclist. Because there was no bike racing this year – I took up a new goal of achieving one-ride, and all-year distance records for myself. I’m not much a super distance cyclist – I prefer going fast over shorter races. So its been a challenge to go from short and hard, to long and slower. Not slow, just slower.
Anyhow, one of the goals was to do a single ride of 220 km with significant climbing – at a good pace. My friend, who is way better at distance rides than me, was in for such a ride. He was actually doing a 300 km ride that day, so I joined him for the last 220 km. Of course, being the short distance racer I am, I was fine up until about 140 km. But then, cracks started appearing. So Jeff, in an effort to be encouraging, said to me “Hey, its only 80 km to go…we’re in the home stretch!”. Ironically, my prior definition of a long ride was 80-140 km. Whatever the case, I made it.
So you see…everything in life is relevant, isn’t it?
On with the show…
Sports betting stocks
Right in line with my bike comment above, Terry asked about sports betting stocks. This is an area I hadnt explored in the past, so it intrigued me to look into it.
To start, its not really a “sector” play that one can comment on in one swoop. There appears to be only a couple of dedicated sports betting stocks. They are DraftKings (DKNG-US) and Flutter Entertainment (PDYPY). Draftkings is a relatively newly listed stock–although I believe it traded under the ticker DEAC prior. As such, I can’t really asses much on the chart beyond that its basing after a rise over the past number of months.
Flutter is an OTC stock that has the typical erratic super rallies and super declines that you see on such thinly traded stocks. The volume has picked up on that stock – I assume due to “stay at home” pressures. Clearly, the stock has gone parabolic – with a price of $80 its almost 40% above its 200 day SMA. I don’t like to see stocks trading at 20% over their 200 day SMA’s – so its a risky one.
Other gambling companies are getting in on the sports betting action. MGM, BYD, CHDN, and PENN are involved. Of those, only CHDN and PENN are displaying bullish, albeit way overbought, charts. They are making new highs, yet need a pullback to wash out some excess. The other two are erratic. CHDN is in the early stages of the breakout, so it may be worth watching. Not much else I can offer on the group, beyond these brief technical comments. Do your homework. It looks like there are lots of opportunities to make, or lose, your money on these stocks. You might call it “a gamble” to trade them….
Aaron asks if I am still holding cash with markets at new highs. I’ll expand on that question by adding…if so, why?
To start, I am holding 20% cash in both the ValueTrend Equity Platform, and even in our “ValueTrend aggressive Growth” Platform. Here is why:
- Most of the indicators that make up the nearer-termed market outlook factors of my Bear-o-meter have been suggesting flat/lower stock prices short- to medium-term. That said, the longer termed outlook is bullish due to chart patterns, moving averages, cumulative moneyflow etc.
- Seasonally, markets can be more volatile in August and September than most other months. True, seasonal patterns have not mattered much this year, but there is always the potential for a return to normal.
- Most market indices are overbought on the daily charts, and getting closer to overbought on weekly charts (momentum indicators).
- One of my worries is the polarization between the extremely skewed preference for tech stocks which looked to have stalled by late June, especially relative to value, dividend stocks, industrial’s and financials. The “market” indices like the SPX have been led by stay-at-home and tech. If they correct, they will influence all stocks – albeit less so for value etc – as I discussed here.
- Market optimism is at an extreme level (a contrarian signal). Especially by market participants who are traditionally “wrong” more often than right when markets reach extreme levels. For example, small options traders net speculative activity is the most extreme since 2007. According to Sentimentrader, when premiums are considered, it is by far the most extreme ever. Similarly, smart money/dumb money (courtesy www.sentimentrader.com) is getting to dangerous levels. Basically, this indicator pits smart investors like institutions and large commercial hedgers against mom & pop investors. Smart money is on average only 35% confident in the current market outlook, whereas dumb money is 80% sure that things can only keep going up. The chart below shows us how most of the time, when these levels are reached we see a correction in the coming weeks.
Final question: Heiken -Ashi charts, and my favorite indicators.
This really is the home-stretch. Andy asks about Heiken-Ashi charts and my favorite indicators. Lets start with my favorite indicators. Heck, lets go way deeper than just that. How about we look at the entire ValueTrend technical and fundamental approach? Here is a link which brings you though the entire ValueTrend process from start to finish. This should more than answer your question on what kind of indicators and tools we use to make investment decisions.
Ok -Heikin-Ashi charts. To be honest, I had never heard of them until you brought them up, Andy. Yikes – another thing to learn! But stockcharts.com has a great resource on how to interpret them. Here is the link. I won’t waste your time by commenting on these two-bars rolled into one type charts. I haven’t the experience to add insight. However, you have sparked some interest – I’m going to spend some time trying to learn about them. So you see, you just taught me about something I didn’t know. And that’s what this blog is all about! Thanks for that!
That’s all folks! Back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. Keep the comments coming. Always looking for new topics.

Lets’s get right to the nitty gritty – Faebrew are selling cups of filter style coffee starting at $12.50 and going all the way up to $25 a cup. $25 a cup. That’s 5 times what you’ll pay at places like Aubade, Moving Coffee, Revolver, Timbertrain, Platform 7…. you get my point.
So is there any justification for this price? Is this a place where each coffee comes with a side of gold leaf encrusted cookies? Are the seats made of the finest mink fur and are the cups the size of oil barrels? More importantly is this coffee so unfathomably good that you’ll pay so much for a cup of that delicious nectar?
Various styles – $12.50 – $25 a cup
First let’s talk about the process. Faebrew market themselves as more of a coffee bar than a coffee shop. Their baristas are marketed as more like cocktail mixologists. When you sit down and order they ask you about what kind of flavours you like, what kind of texture, sourness, bitterness and astringency levels you like. They then create a coffee based off whatever your preferences are, in a variation of brewing methods (Chemex, V60, Siphon, French press). There are no espresso based drinks and nothing is ready to go in a decanter.
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe – Chemex – $12.50 per cup
There’s no doubt about the fact that this was a very good coffee. The flavours were well balanced, the texture was smooth and appealing, it was bright and had some great chocolate notes. The presentation was excellent, being served in one of the custom made ‘Fairy Wing’ style cups.
Which brings me to the peculiar mug you may notice in the above photo. Every serving vessel at Faebrew is custom made, with fairy wings for a handle. There are dozens, all shapes and sizes and they play a key part in the coffee experience. When you’re asked “how your day has been so far” it’s partly to find out what kind of mug to give you! Had a tough day? You’re getting a big, chunky, heavy cup. Having a great day? You’re getting a light and whimsical version. This has to be one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen in a coffee shop and it really adds to the experience.
Kenyan – Siphon – $12.50 per cup
Another excellent cup made all the more enjoyable by the Siphon process. I usually shy away from Siphon as I’m often unhappy with the results, but this was probably the best effort I’ve ever had in that style. Again, the flavours were well balanced, the consistency was great and the barista, er I mean coffee bartender took us through the whole process explaining every step along the way, throwing in his own custom tricks throughout (there were ice cubes involved!). It was some very entertaining theater thrown in with an already interesting process to watch.
Faebrew also carry a line of teas and also freshly pressed juices from local supplier UpJus
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie $5.71
There were a few different options involving chocolate chips but I’m team ‘oatmeal raisin or die’… I know, I know, I’m odd like that, screw you. The cookie was moist, delicious and more importantly it was bloody huge!
Faebrew also offer some interesting evening desserts such as Ferrero Rocher and Matcha mousse served in masonry jars.
I live in the city so technically it’s a pain in the ass for me to get to, but in reality it’s in a great location. There’s a skytrain close by, there’s heaps of parking directly outside and it’s really close to lots of shopping.
They’ve clearly spent a lot of time, effort and money on making this place look incredible. There’s a large bar area to sit at and the white and grey with slight coloured accents looks really stylish. The place very much resembles a bar, which is the intention, but there’s a small seating area away from action.
Large, perfectly clean and well appointed; the bathrooms at Faebrew are great.
Faebrew is run by an immensely friendly young chap called Vincent. The second you walk in you’re welcomed by someone you can immediately tell is very, very into his coffee. He self trained over only one year and has a wealth of information and knowledge tucked away in his head. He’s happy to talk all night on the subject but does it in a very humble and understandable way. As an added bonus we got to meet his mum, who was equally as lovely!
I’ve not struggled to conclude a review so much in ages. This has taken me two weeks to properly complete and I still don’t know if Faebrew is revolutionary in bringing amazingly rare coffee to Vancouver, or if it’s just too bloody expensive! I think that ultimately it’s a hugely exciting place to get coffee, run by great people with a great atmosphere, but I just simply can’t afford to drink there. I truly hope they succeed in what they do, because it’s great to have a venue like this to stop off at once or twice a year for a treat, but I wonder if it’s the kind of place that’s actually sustainable long-term. Only time will tell and I wish Vincent and team the best of luck.

St. Al tabs longtime assistant Jay Harper as next baseball head coach
Published 4:05 pm Thursday, June 8, 2023
St. Aloysius will have a familiar face in a new position with its baseball program next season.
The school announced Thursday that head coach Sid Naron has left the program, and he will be succeeded by longtime assistant Jay Harper.
Naron is leaving to focus on a job in private business. The Vicksburg Post baseball Coach of the Year in 2018 and 2021 compiled a 94-82 record over eight seasons.
Email newsletter signup
Harper has been on Naron’s staff since 2017. He is also the superintendent of Sports Force Parks and previously worked in the city of Vicksburg’s Parks and Recreation Department. Harper graduated from Warren Central and played baseball at Hinds Community College.
“I am so excited to have Coach Harper at the helm of our baseball program,” St. Al athletic director Bubba Nettles said in a statement. “He has dedicated himself to our student athletes and our storied baseball program over the past six years as an assistant coach and he now has the reins to build this program in his way.”

The Straja resort is located in Hunedoara County, at an altitude of 1445 meters, in the heart of the Vâlcan Mountains, in the Jiu Valley, about 8 km from Lupeni. The tourist complex consists of 210 cottages, holiday homes, guest houses and villas. Of these, 70 are homologated with 1, 2, 3 and 4 stars. Straja was declared a local tourist resort in 2002. There are 12 ski slopes in Straja, each equipped with a cable car (ski lift). Five of them also benefit from a nocturnal facility, making it possible to use the slopes until late at night. They are serviced by snowmobile machines, raccoons, to keep them in the best possible conditions for skiing. Through the 12 ski slopes, the Straja resort totals about 26 km of the ski area. Of these, 20 km are covered with artificial snow. The 11 cable cars provide you with easy access to all the slopes of the resort. Due to the construction of the telegondola and the chairlift on the Straja Peak there are new slopes, the longest being the Straja Path, with a length of 8.1 km.

For animals predisposed to, or afflicted with, periodontal disease, professional treatment is only part of the plan. What the owner does at home on a daily basis for plaque control has as much or more impact on the long-term prognosis. To understand why homecare is so important, it is important to understand some things about plaque and calculus and the progression of periodontal disease.
Following a professional dental cleaning, the tooth surface is considered clean. Within hours, a film of salivary glycoproteins, known as the acquired pellicle, starts to form on the exposed dental surfaces. In a few more hours, oral bacteria colonize this pellicle. This is the development of dental plaque, a mixture of salivary glycoproteins, sloughed epithelial cells, white blood cells, food particles and bacteria. Immature plaque is a rather disorganized slime on the tooth surface.
If immature plaque is left undisturbed, it becomes more organized and more firmly attached to the tooth surface. It starts to evolve into a highly complex society of co-operative and synergistic bacteria and protozoa. Aerobic bacteria live on the outer surface of this biofilm with anaerobes living closer to the tooth surface. The mixed populations of bacteria produce and secrete substances that act as a matrix, enhance adhesion, and protect the residents of the biofilm from chemical and cellular antimicrobial agents. Mature plaque is 25% bacteria, 75% matrix.
Within as little as two days, undisturbed plaque can start to precipitate salivary minerals to form calculus. Calculus itself does not cause periodontal disease, but it does provide a very safe environment in which the periodontal pathogens can live. Its rough, porous surface provides a foothold for the bacteria that is not easily dislodged. The bacteria in plaque produce toxins that cause inflammation of the gingiva. If left untreated, this gingivitis may progress to periodontitis (inflammation and destruction of the gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and root cementum). To prevent gingivitis and periodontitis from developing and to maintain gingival health, plaque must be removed before it becomes organized and mineralized.
From the above, you can see that if the owners are not doing anything for plaque control at home on a daily basis, noticeable calculus and gingivitis may be back by the two-week recheck appointment. Homecare refers to anything the owners are doing at home on a regular basis to control plaque and maintain periodontal health. In numerous studies, daily brushing of the teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush has been shown to be the most effective means of plaque control. It is the mechanical action of the bristles against the tooth surface that removes the plaque.
The remainder of this paper will discuss some home-care products and how they work (according to manufacturer’s claims or as confirmed by independent research). Inclusion here does not imply an endorsement and exclusion does not imply an indictment. There are far too many to cover them all in three pages so you will have to apply the principles discussed to critically evaluate the claims of each product to see how it might fit into your dental program.
CHEMICAL PLAQUE CONTROL
Chemical plaque control agents come in many forms, including toothpastes, gels, rinses, water treatments and bioadhesive patches. No chemical agent has been shown to be effective in plaque control by itself. Most will reduce or retard plaque accumulation to a degree but they cannot stop it from forming.
Pastes are meant to be used on the toothbrush and may have a number of functions. Most veterinary pastes are flavoured for the peculiar taste preferences of dogs and cats and so can improve compliance. If the animal likes the taste of the paste, it becomes part of the positive reinforcement so important to establishing this habit. Pastes often have some abrasive material such as ground walnut shells, to improve the brush’s mechanical cleaning action.
VRx Pharmaceuticals produce a line of veterinary toothpastes under the brand C. E. T™. These pastes contain a “dual-enzyme system” consisting of glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, and a substrate (not specified). These ingredients combine with water (from saliva) and oxygen to eventually form hypothiocyanite (OSCN). This ion is produced naturally in human and canine saliva (possibly in cat saliva as well), where it has been shown to have an antibacterial effect.
I have never disputed the value of the endogenous salivary lactoperoxidase enzyme system as part of the host defense system. What I have asked on several occasions over the years is: “Is there any research to show that adding more of this enzyme system in a toothpaste or other product has any beneficial effect?” I know that brushing a pet’s teeth with C. E. T. will be beneficial, but would we get the same benefit from brushing with a placebo paste that lacks the enzyme system? To date, I have seen no such research. Therefore, I tell clients that many pets like the taste of C.E.T. and so it can be useful in boosting compliance. If it also does have some antibacterial effect, I look on that as a bonus. For now, I cannot support their antibacterial claims, as they have not shown me the science to back it up.
There are also a variety of gels and rinses available that act as oral antiseptics. The most common active ingredient in these products is chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine is a non-specific antibacterial agent as well as having some effect on fungus and viruses. There is a large body of research on the efficacy of chlorhexidine as an antimicrobial agent. It acts by causing precipitation of the cytoplasmic contents of the bacterium, a mechanism against which resistance cannot develop. While chlorhexidine has been shown to reduce plaque and gingivitis, it paradoxically can increase the rate of mineralization of plaque (calculus formation). Chlorhexidine also causes a brown staining on the teeth when used as a rinse (can be polished off but looks terrible) and can cause a decrease in the sense of taste. Chlorhexidine is likely best used as a pre-operatative oral rinse and at home for the healing period following professional treatment.
MaxiGard™ is available as a gel and as a rinse. Both contain zinc and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Zinc is antibacterial and important for healthy epithelium. Vitamin C is important in the production of collagen, which is the main structural protein in gingiva. The gel is tasteless and alcohol free and makes a nice oral anti-septic for the post-operative period. It has also found a use as a plaque retardant in cats that will tolerate no other forms of home-care. The zinc, though relatively tasteless, does increase salivation so some cats will froth and foam a bit with MaxiGard™.
There are a variety of items on the market upon which dogs are meant to chew. Most of them will claim some dental benefit such as “Cleans Dog Teeth.” While many of these toys can legitimately claim to help keep a dog’s teeth clean, they can also a major cause of dental fracture. Examples would include dried cow hooves and all natural bone, whether processed or fresh from the butcher. Hard-pressed rawhide bones and nylon bones are also sufficiently resilient to cause dental fracture.
The criterion I use in practice is as follows. If you do not want me to hit you in the knee with a toy, then you should not give it to your dog to chew. If it is hard enough to hurt your knee, then it is hard enough to be a potential cause of dental fracture.
This category would include consumable items that are not considered to be a significant source of calories such as rawhide strips and bones, pig’s ears, and Dental Ring™. Any item that you give to a dog with the understanding that it is to be chewed into little bits and possibly swallowed bears some risk of gastrointestinal upset or blockage. Consider each item and its relative risk and choose the safest one going.
Dental Ring™ is a ring of densely packed paperboard coated with ground bone, mint flavouring, and colouring. As the dog chews on the ring, teeth are expected to be forced between the layers of paperboard, thereby “brushing” the teeth. The label claims that the ring cleans teeth and strengthens enamel. While use of this device may help remove plaque and tartar, there is nothing in the ingredient panel that could be expected to strengthening enamel. In fact, chewing on the ground bone would be abrasive and would be more likely remove enamel. There is no indication on the label that there has been any research into the safety and efficacy of the product. Paper products are not digestible so if a dog swallows a chunk of the ring, gastro-intestinal blockage is a possibility.
Pig’s ears are available at many pet stores and flea markets. They are basically just pigskin and cartilage, often dried and smoked to prevent decay. The skin-cartilage parfait has a mild abrasive effect on the tooth surfaces without great risk of being too abrasive. The thin and flexible nature of pig’s ears makes them very unlikely to cause dental fractures. Some dogs tolerate these aids very well, while others may experience digestive upset. As the ears are sold from bulk bins generically, there is no assurance of quality control and there have been rumblings that they may harbour bacterial pathogens such as salmonella, so buyer-be-ware. If a large chunk of an ear is swallowed, it will likely be broken down by gastric juices and pass without incident. However, choking and esophageal blockage are possible. To my knowledge, no research has been published to determine the efficacy of pig’s ears in the prevention of dental disease.
Rawhide strips are a consumable that many dogs really love, but as they provide non-digestible protein, they do not add to the caloric intake. Therefore, they are discussed here. Dr. Ballards™ markets rawhide strips under the brand Chew-eez™. Each strip is approximately 3-4 cm wide, 10 cm long and 1-2 millimeter thick. I consider these to be among the safest chew aids you can recommend. There is still a risk of choking, but this is a very rare event. A brand name offers some quality assurance and the thinness of the strips makes it very unlikely that any teeth will be damaged. The abrasive action of chewing the rawhide does help reduce plaque, calculus, and gingivitis.
Treats would include any consumable item that adds to the total calorie intake but that is not the main source of calories. No treat has ever been shown to be able to maintain clinically healthy gingiva, no matter how much of it is fed. Treats are only a part of the plaque control program and should be used as well as, not instead of, brushing.
DentaBone™ is a compressed tapioca-based treat that has been shown in numerous short-term studies to reduce plaque, calculus and stain while improving gingival health when given daily. Personally, I have some misgivings about these very hard treats as a potential cause for dental fracture. I know of no confirmed cases of this happening.
C.E.T. Forte Chews™ are designed for cats as a mildly abrasive treat intended to improve oral hygiene. They are available in fish and poultry flavour, though freeze-dried fish is the main ingredient in both. These chews contain the same dual-enzyme system found in other C.E.T. products. Whether it is the course texture of the chew mechanically helping to remove plaque, the enzyme system or a combination, is not clear from the research. In any event, a controlled study in client-owned cats, found a statistically significant reduction in gingivitis when the cats received one chew a day compared to eating the same diet without the daily chew.
No diet has ever been shown to be able to maintain clinically healthy gingiva, no matter how much of it is fed. Diets are only a part of the plaque control program and should be used as well as, not instead of, brushing.
It has long been felt that feeding a cat or a dog a dry kibble diet is better for the teeth than feeding them a processed, canned diet. The logic goes that dry food leaves less residue in the mouth for oral bacteria to feed on and so plaque would accumulate at a slower rate. Despite that, many animals fed on commercial dry diets still have heavy plaque and calculus accumulations and periodontal disease. This is because most dry pet foods are hard but brittle so that the kibble shatters without much resistance and so there is little or no abrasive effect from chewing.
There are currently four commercially available pet foods that have received recognition by the Veterinary Oral Health Council as having a significant effect on plaque, calculus, and gingivitis. These are Hill’s Prescription Diet t/d, Hills Prescription Diet t/d small bites, Hill’s Prescription Diet t/d feline, and Friskies Dental Diet (feline).
The mechanism of action for these diets is based on the physical properties of the kibble. Each nugget is quite large and so must be chewed before swallowing. The nuggets are hard but not brittle, so the teeth sink deep into the nugget before it splits. As the tooth is penetrating the nugget, the fibers in the food gently abrade the tooth surface, thereby removing plaque.
These diets are high-fiber maintenance diets for average mature animals but would not be appropriate to support growth, gestation/lactation, or a very athletic life-style. Each of them is intended to be fed as the main calorie source. Research by Hill’s found that the best results were obtained in this manner, but that there was still a measurable (but declining) benefit when the t/d diets were fed as 75%, 50%, and even 25% of the total calorie intake. Using t/d simply as a treat will not meet expectations for the product. It seems reasonable to extrapolate this observation to the Friskies Dental Diet, though I have not seen research examining this issue for this product.
ProVSeal™ is a waxy polymer that is applied to the teeth following an oral hygiene procedure. The theory is that the wax adheres tenaciously to the enamel and creates a non-wetable surface, thereby inhibiting bacterial adhesion to the tooth. This product is used in human dentistry under the name OraStar™.
As the patient eats or brushes, the surface layer of wax is removed, exposing a fresh layer. Research indicates that the product may still be on the tooth surface up to eight days post-application. There is also research to back up the claims of safety and efficacy. After the initial treatment has worn off, there is a less viscous wax product that can be applied by the owner on a regular basis to continue inhibiting adhesion of plaque bacteria. The hydrophobic nature of the product allows it to be applied to wet teeth in a conscious patient. This product claims to be tasteless, odourless, invisible, and non-toxic. It does not preclude the use of abrasive diets and chew aids, nor is there any need to reduce or curtail tooth brushing.
ProVSeal™ may be most beneficial as a plaque retardant in the immediate post-operative period, when it is sometimes necessary to have the owners suspend their home-care for a week or so during healing of extraction sites and periodontal surgery site.

This article by Tom Mockridge, CEO of Virgin Media, was originally published in the Financial Times.
Theresa May, the prime minister, recently contrasted the failures of some in the private sector with the good that government can do. But what if government channelled the good that business can do?
Take the question of the UK’s digital future. At the recent Conservative party conference, Mrs May said the government will “take big, sometimes even controversial, decisions about our country’s infrastructure”. Is this a signal that it supports BT being forcibly divested of its engineering arm Openreach? I hope not. Stripping a private sector company of its assets would send a chilling message to investors — which is why, on this point, Virgin Media is aligned with its biggest competitor, BT.
Investment in competing broadband networks is something that successive governments and Ofcom, the telecoms industry regulator, have wanted. The problem with BT Openreach is that it has no network competition in more than half of the UK. Policy should be directed at fixing that.
Karen Bradley, the culture secretary, said in the House of Commons recently that “digital connectivity is as important as a connection to water”. But to connect a home or business, a “wayleave” is required. Wayleaves were introduced in the early 15th century, originally to cover the transporting of coal in Durham from the pit across church-owned land. Surprisingly, it is this antiquated rule that is proving to be one of the primary barriers to delivering better broadband in the UK.
To make a bad problem worse, wayleave rights are not granted equally. For example, water pipes run through every street and water companies are able to connect homes and businesses easily to those pipes. Telecoms companies face more red tape to gain access and then, assuming they do, face 150 per cent higher costs.
Worse still, telecoms companies are in very different positions to each other. BT, as the former state monopoly, is in all homes and businesses whereas Virgin Media and other competitors investing in infrastructure require a wayleave agreement for every new home or business they connect.
If you are trying to reach 4m new premises, the case for reform is clear. Put simply, telecoms companies need the same access rights as those enjoyed by water companies — or, at the very least, parity with BT. Only then will investors in broadband infrastructure compete on a level playing field to the benefit of customers.
Too often in the past the wheels of government have turned too slowly and reform has lacked ambition. But sometimes policy is simply muddled.
Philip Hammond, the chancellor, this month promised that it would be “long-term economics, not short-term politics, that drives Britain’s infrastructure investment”. This was intended to be a reassuring message. Yet a few days earlier, the Valuation Office Agency, an arm of government, had published new business rates that could lead to an increase for investors in the broadband network infrastructure of about 300 per cent. This compares with a 16 per cent increase for water companies.
On the one hand, this direct tax is applied to those investing in the broadband infrastructure that the UK badly needs. Virgin Media, for example, is building an ultrafast network which will include fibre connected directly to the premises.
On the other, the government plans to provide yet another £500m on top of the £1.2bn subsidy it has already given, almost entirely to BT, to spend on modernising its copper broadband, with all its technical limitations. Is this really the best use of scarce public funds?
Improving infrastructure is vital to securing the UK’s future economic growth. With the will to cut through a tangle of red tape, government will truly be able to channel the enormous good that business can do.

Winter, spring, summer or fall. No matter the season, VASO’s rooftop patio provides some of the best views in Downtown Dublin. Enjoy the summer evenings overlooking the city with a cocktail in hand on their picturesque open-air patio, or rent out a cabana for your friends. When the temperatures drop, stay warm in the iconic igloos that allow you to enjoy the outdoors without the elements. Complete with cozy fur-covered chairs, blankets, call pods and twinkling lights, this is a winter experience you won’t want to miss. If you can’t get a seat outside, the views from inside are just as good with comfy lounge seating and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Views aren’t the only thing VASO is known for. They know how to throw a killer party; from New Year’s Eve DJ sets to Fourth of July firework viewings, VASO likes to go all out. For a full schedule of events, click here.
Whether you’re looking for some happy hour bites or a full dinner, VASO serves something for every appetite. The menu is broken down into three sections.

Tapas or small plates are great for friends who are looking to order a little bit of everything. Try the Smoked Duck Cannoli or Spanish Arancini.

No, seriously... we're talking about actual rocks in Morgan County.
As you explore the various things to see and do around our county, you might stumble upon some very interesting rocks. Some may be painted wild and crazy colors, have intricate (or simple) designs, or feature a short quote or inspirational saying. Where do these things come from? Why are they here? What are you supposed to do with them (if anything)?
Here's the scoop. The painted rock trend has been sweeping the nation, and though not always known for being "trendy," Morgan County is all over this fun, feel-good trend! The idea is pretty simple - known as "kindness rocks," these colorful little tokens were originally created in Cape Code, MA (at least that's the earliest example we could find) and their purpose is simply to spread kindness, joy and inspiration. Kindness rock projects have been started by Kindergarten classes, community groups, and just regular citizens across the United States and beyond. Here's a quick look at how it all works:
Most communities who participate in the trend have a Facebook page or group where you can share the story of the rock you've found. This lets the folks who created a particular rock see that their work is spreading happiness and it's still out there being discovered, or that it's found a new home with someone who loves it. It also creates a fun way to have an afternoon treasure hunt! Rock creators will often post clues in on Facebook to where you might find new rocks, or photos of new rocks to be on the lookout for as you move around the community. Rocks can have a theme - or not. Some may have a connection to the general location in which they're found - rocks painted like animals or bugs may be found in a park; rocks with book related themes may be found near a library, and so on. Creators will tag each rock with the name of the Facebook group or page associated with their community. Simply search on Facebook to find one associated with the community where you find a rock to let hem know it's been found.
The rules are simple - if you find a rock, you have three choices:
- You can choose to keep it. That's okay - perhaps the saying or design it carries speaks to you in a special way. That's why they're created - to bring joy and spread kindness. If you choose to keep a rock because you love it or it means something special to you, its work has been done.
- You can report that you've found it on the appropriate Facebook page or group, then place it somewhere new. Rocks can be hidden (please leave some sort of clue to help others find it, especially if it's in a tricky location) or simply left out in the open for the next person to find. Clues can be in the form of photos, riddles or other tips.
- You can replace it with a rock you've painted, or simply add your new rocks to the mix. The more the merrier! Just be sure to include the page or group associated with the community that "rocks!"
Depending on where you are in Morgan County, here are links to the appropriate groups or pages to report rock sightings:
Martinsville Painted Rocks
This page was created by an individual in the City of Martinsville and has quickly grown to a community of area residents who paint and hide rocks around Martinsville (and maybe a bit beyond). Rocks will be marked with "Martinsville Painted Rocks" or "#martinsvillerocks." This is a public page, so anyone can post about rocks they've created or found in the area.
Mooresville Rocks is a community art/outreach program dedicated to bringing art into everyday lives and incorporating all members of the community. Rocks are hidden throughout town and even the surrounding area - Mooresville rocks have been found in Monrovia, Eminence, Camby and even Plainfield! Rocks will be marked with "Mooresville Rocks." This is a closed group, so you may have to ask to join in order to post about your latest find.
Paragon Painted Rocks
The small community of Paragon "rocks," too! Rocks should be marked with "Paragon Painted Rocks" and occasionally you'll also see the hashtag "#paragonrocks" being used. You'll find these rocks in the small town of Paragon and maybe even in other nearby places like Burkhart Creek Park.
Most rocks will simply be to spread joy and happiness, but you'll also find a few with a larger mission to raise awareness for a particular cause or organization, rocks painted in memory of someone or even rocks that help promote local business. Business related rocks may include a special offer - be sure to check! Those who create them really do appreciate seeing updates on where their little creations have been found and absolutely love to see that they've brought a smile to your face. So, the next time you're out and about in Morgan County, don't forget to watch for tiny colorful pieces of happiness - because Morgan County Rocks!

Pinedale has a vast history of exploration, fur trapping and trading, ranching, and outdoor recreation. In the early 1800s, the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade brought trappers and traders to the Green River Valley in search of pelts while the eastern explorers were drawn west to the uncharted mountains. These mountain men endured the isolation and hazardous conditions of the mountains and made their way down to the valley in the summer. The first Green River Rendezvous was held in 1833 as a way for trappers and traders to meet, exchange wares, and tell tall tales. The first ten acres of what would become Pinedale’s downtown were set down in 1904. Pinedale became incorporated in 1912 and was recognized as the incorporated town farthest away from a railroad in the United States. Even today, this area remains one of the most remote in the country and residents proudly proclaim that Pinedale is “All the civilization you need.”
The Mountain Men and Fur Trade
In the early 1800s, beaver fur was in high demand — especially for hats — and the Rocky Mountain Fur Company hired rugged explorers to head west in search of their pelts. This was an important stepping stone in the westward expansion of the United States and mountain men like Jim Bridger and Kit Carson blazed the trail for the largest voluntary mass migration in history — the pioneer caravans of the Oregon Trail.
The Green River Valley was prized by mountain men for its abundance of beaver and other wildlife and became the center of the mountain fur trapping industry for the next 40 years. In the summer months, the mountain men would make their way down to the valley to Rendezvous with traders and other trappers and get news from the eastern part of the state. The first Green River Rendezvous was held in 1833 and became an annual event. Pinedale has hosted Rendezvous reenactments and celebrations every year in July since 1936.
From the first explorers of the past to present-day ranchers, a true sense of adventure and frontier living has always been a part of life for Pinedale area residents. After the fur trade era, settlers began to utilize the valley for ranching purposes and the iconic western cowboy image began to spread through the United States like wildfire. While the rest of the country romanticized the cowboy lifestyle, these hard-working, tough-as-nails men and women went about their day-to-day on the open range, relatively unaffected by the Hollywood stereotypes.
The Green River Drift is the longest-running cattle drive in the country and the only ranching-related Traditional Cultural Property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. What began in 1896 has changed little through the years and twice annually the local cowboys still shut down traffic as they herd their charges right through town
The Museum of the Mountain Man
The Museum of the Mountain Man transports you back to the 1800s when the men were as wild as the mountains and the Winds were just beginning to be explored.
The Museum of the Mountain Man is a display of Pinedale’s history and culture, and it attracts about 12,000 visitors during its six-month season. The Sublette County Historical Society’s goal is to preserve the history of the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade era, and to specifically highlight Pinedale’s role as the fur trade’s center of operations. The museum also details the economics of the fur trade and its eventual downfall, and the challenges of initial settlements in this region by pioneers heading west.
The Museum’s permanent collection includes many relics of the fur trade era, including Jim Bridger’s rifle, Native American clothing, Winchester firearm displays, and Archaic evidence detailing earliest habitation in this area. A Shoshone bow made from the horns of a Bighorn Sheep and authenticated to be one of the oldest specimens of its kind is on display, with information about its discovery in the nearby Gros Ventre range. Arguably its best but largely unseen jewel is a priceless research library with many rare and classic books on early Wyoming history and the fur trade era, acquired mainly through private donations.

Brown Bear or Grizzly: What’s in a Name?
Grizzly bear, brown bear, Kodiak bear—you’ve probably heard them all. And if you’re like most people, you’ve probably asked, “What’s the difference?”
It’s a trick question. Sort of.
Ursus arctos – The Umbrella Species
Across most of the world, people use the common name brown bear to refer to the species Ursus arctos, one of Earth’s eight living species of bear. All sharing the same scientific name, brown bears live across parts of northern Eurasia and North America, from China to Scandinavia to Canada.
Known for their muscular humped shoulders, long claws, dish-shaped faces and fur ranging from blonde to dark brown or even black, Ursus arctos is an opportunistic omnivore and scavenger. Its diet, and thus its size, varies widely to match its surrounding environment, with the largest brown bears rivaling polar bears in size. The species’ adaptability has led biological taxonomists to designate various geographic subspecies of brown bear over time, some of which are more familiar to the general public than others. In North America, the grizzly and Kodiak bear are the most widely-recognized subspecies of brown bear.
Ursus arctos horribilis – The Grizzly Bear
Grizzlies are inland brown bears. They once lived across western North America’s mountains and prairies, from the Alaskan tundra to the Great Plains and the high peaks of Mexico. Now, after a century of habitat loss and other pressures, they roam only Alaska, parts of western Canada, and isolated pockets of the northwestern United States.
Unlike coastal brown bears, most grizzlies rely on a diet of berries, roots, grubs, moths and occasionally larger animals. As master scavengers, many grizzlies supplement a plant-based diet by feeding on the remains of animals killed by other means. While their brown bear cousins near the ocean feast on salmon and other fish, sometimes growing as large as 1,000 pounds in the process, inland grizzlies are generally a bit smaller, although their size still depends greatly on diet. Adult grizzlies’ fur often bears a trademark grizzled or silver-tipped appearance while coastal brown bears are typically darker-hued.
Ursus arctos middendorfi – The Kodiak Bear
Another widely-recognized subspecies of brown bear is the Kodiak bear, referring to the bears that have lived in genetic isolation for centuries on Southwest Alaska’s Kodiak, Afognak and Shuyak islands.
On average, these giants are the world’s largest brown bears, thanks to their rich fish-based diets and dominance within their island food webs. Maybe you’ve heard of one of the biggest (1,500 pounds!) and most famous Kodiak bears in history—Bart the Bear, co-founder and original animal ambassador of Vital Ground.
So, I See A Brown Bear – What Should I Call It?
Well, that depends. Assuming it’s not a black bear with brown fur (in case this wasn’t confusing enough), what you call a brown bear depends on where you are. Up in the mountains or out on the prairie or tundra? It’s a grizzly! Down on the coast watching a bear catch fish? Stick to the name brown bear. In Montana, we love the name grizzly so much we gave it to one of our flagship university’s athletic teams. But if you travel to Southeast Alaska or British Columbia and start throwing around the word “grizzly,” you’re bound to have someone correct you. Meanwhile, most scientists stick to calling all members of Ursus arctos brown bears, regardless of location, just to avoid confusion.
Of course, before you worry about what to call any bear, you should make sure you’re being bear aware! If we’re going to share the Earth with these magnificent animals for generations to come, we’ve got to be smart about it. Now that you know what to call the big bruins, brush up on your bear safety essentials, how to stay safe if you encounter a bear, and learn more about how you can help the Great Bear today!

Efforts by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to woo Toyota Motor Corp. to build a plant in the state is of little concern to the United Auto Workers union.
The union says it already has experience working with Toyota at the auto maker's New United Motor Mfg. Inc. joint venture plant with General Motors Corp. in Fremont, CA.
But the union has been unable to organize wholly owned Toyota plants elsewhere in the U.S.
Ron Gettelfinger, president of the UAW, tells Ward's he is not opposed to the governor's attempts to land a Toyota plant in the union's home state.
“I don't see that working with Toyota will be any more of an issue than working with any other employer,” he says.
Separately, Gettelfinger says the union will continue to press the U.S. government for enforcement of trade pacts with foreign countries.
He says while 40% of the U.S. car market now consists of foreign-branded vehicles, foreign marques only account for 20% of the European market and less than 5% of the Japanese market.
It may be an uphill battle, but Gettelfinger says it is crucial for the union to keep fighting.

The number of choices and level of versatility makes this a very flexible piece of decoration, which is why people have included them in both their homes and offices.

How to Compress PDF to 100KB
Updated On November 17, 2022 | by Ankit
The PDF format has full-text search capabilities, and can also locate text, bookmarks, and data in a document. Therefore, the format is widely used in the business, academic, and office fields. Also, for those who frequently use email and messaging applications to share or upload PDF files to the web, file size is an important consideration.
To make your PDF files more manageable and save space on your computer, you can use a PDF compressor to optimize PDF files. If you want to easily compress your files to the specified size of 100kb, then choosing a reliable PDF compressor is a prerequisite. Below we will discuss in detail how to reduce your PDF files to smaller sizes online or offline.
How to Reduce PDF Size to 100kb Online
PDFgear uses MRC technology to greatly optimize PDF files while maintaining maximum fidelity. With no download and no registration required, you can easily complete the compression task with this free online tool. Unlike other online tools, PDFgear does not limit the size and number of your compressed files and likewise does not have any watermarks added to your compressed files.
Step 1. Upload PDF files to PDFgear
First, enter PDFgear, find Compress PDF in the top menu bar, and then jump to a new window.
You can click the blue Select File button in the middle of the page to add PDF files, or you can drag and drop to perform this.
Step 2. Setup Compressing Option
After your images are successfully uploaded, a new window will pop up for you to select the compression option. The higher the compression level, the smaller the file size. Three compression options are provided here, and medium compression is recommended.
After selecting the compression option, click the Compress button to launch the tool and PDFgear will automatically optimize the file size.
Step 3. Click to Save the PDF File
The compression task will be completed in a few seconds, and then you can click the Download button to get the new compressed PDF file.
If the downloaded file is not yet the size you want, you can repeat the process to further compress the PDF to less than 100kb.
How to Compress PDF to 100kb Offline
For those who do not feel comfortable uploading their important PDF files online, you can use PDFgear desktop software to compress PDF to 100KB offline. PDFgear effectively eliminates useless parts of the file and compresses the original PDF file to a usable size of 100kb without affecting the quality of the file. Before starting the compression, you need to free download PDFgear to your Windows or Mac device.
Step 1. Upload the PDF
Click the PDFgear icon to launch the program and select Compress PDF from the popular tools. Then click the “Add file” button to upload PDF files, you can press Ctrl to select multiple PDF files to be uploaded to the compressor at once.
Step 2. Select Compress Level
Select from the 3 given compression levels in the pop-up window: low, medium, and high. Low compression reduces the file size by a small amount but maintains the maximum file quality. High compression gives you the smallest file size, but with some loss of file quality.
To facilitate the latter to quickly find a new compressed file, you can preset the file output path in advance.
Step 3. Compress PDF Now
After everything is set up, click the red Compress button. It only takes a few seconds and the shrunk PDF file will appear in the pop-up File Explorer.

Berkeley College in NYC: Champions in Life and Hoops
The Berkeley College Men's Basketball team in New York City won 53 games in a row to claim it's third consecutive USCAA Division 2 Championship. Berkeley defeated Penn State-York 80-76 in overtime to grab the title.
Coach Chris Christensen sat down on the bench when it appeared their opponents only had to make a free throw to win the championship game. It was the first time the coach had taken a seat the entire contest. He says divine intervention may have led to another victory:
“The game was tied and those two fouls were called. If you looked at the game you would have seen that the whole game I was standing up. When that occurred I actually sat down. And in my own mind I felt “I don’t know man”. I bring these rosary beads with me lately cause of all the close games. And I was holding onto the rosary beads and I said “God please help me figure out to tell these guys they are going to lose”.
The 5-10 co-captain Jeffrey Mejia says he never thought they would lose the game and kept the faith through the bizarre end to regulation:
"Coach, all the coach’s from the head coach to the assistant, they tell us what we need to do and how we need to do it and we all simply buy into it. It’s more like a family; I mean the atmosphere in Berkeley and the basketball team. It’s amazing I’ve never experienced anything like it. I feel like it’s my second family I can rely on anybody on the team from the head coach to the last player on the team”.
Mejia says once the game went into overtime, he knew they would win it in the extra session.
Mejia's road to success is not your usual story of a young basketball star. As a teenager, the Bronx kid spent about a year in a homeless shelter with his mom and sister.
"When it first happened, I was actually ashamed, but basketball actually served as an outlet, I mean I was on my high school's basketball team and it just helped me cope with the situation."
Coach Christiansen saw Jeffrey dive for a basketball during a camp, and he knew the guard had something special to give.
“I kept looking at this one kid who just seemed to stand out, I mean there were shooters there and tall rebounders, but this kid just kept coming in and out of my mind because I could see the persistence in him in diving for a ball or getting a loose ball or getting a steal and my opinion is, that’s guts. When I see guys I can teach him anything”.
Coach Christiansen has been giving back to his players since he came to Berkeley College in the mid-90's. When he first started teaching at the college, an athletic program didn't exist at the college on 43rd street between Madison and 5th avenue. After starting a basketball program, Christiansen implemented strict rules for his players especially when it came to discipline:
“My father used to say to me “I want you to feel uncomfortable before you feel comfortable”. And I never really understood what that meant, until I became a coach and what were doing with these young men is we’re making them feel uncomfortable in the beginning. We’re changing what they are doing; we’re trying to rearrange their value systems from the neighborhoods they’ve come from. We’re trying to change their attitude of the importance of school, getting a good education and playing the game that you love”.
Coach Christiansen's rise to the top of the basketball world started after his world was basically torn apart:
"In the early 1990's, four unbelievable things happened to me that were totally unexpected. My marriage failed. My father passed away unexpectedly and six months later my mother passed away. Probably within three or four months after that, they had a major downsizing in my organization and I was one of the first ones to leave."
The 6'5" Christiansen eventually would get a job teaching at Berkeley College and the rest "is history."
Could the 53-game winning streak stay alive next year? Mejia thinks there's a great shot at that:
“I think with the guys we have coming back and hopefully with the recruiting that goes on. I think we have a good chance to keep going, I mean why not a 4th one why not a hundred games you know. Coming into college I would have never expected 53 games in a row, so I mean now the sky is the limit so why can’t we keep going?"
The day the SportsJam interviewed was taped, Mejia found out he had landed a good job where he was interning.
Mejia says he owes a lot to his coach, especially when it came to realizing that education is what leads to success:
"That's why he's so impactful, he gives great advice, he cares, he's loving like a father figure."

10 Team-Building Activity Ideas Every Lebanese Company Should Do
Before you say anything: no, team-building activities are not a waste of time, and yes, they can actually simultaneously grow your business and your team and help you reach new and higher levels of success and employee satisfaction in an efficient and fun way, especially if you are embracing hybrid working due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Lebanese businesses.
This is what we like to call “the happiness advantage” in the workplace, and yes, again, it is real and we have the numbers to prove it.
Unfortunately, creating a healthy and happy workplace is not a very common concept in the Lebanese business culture, but we like to believe that many companies are doing some notable efforts to jump on that train. So, if you are one of them, kudos to you!
However, if you still haven’t and would like to start putting in some efforts to get there, this goal is easily achievable through many activities, but before we jump into this bit, let’s talk statistics.

- Why should you carry out team-building activites regularly?
- 10 amazing team-building activities
The causal relationship of fun and productivity
Fun in the workplace is a key factor in employee happiness and helps people enjoy a more positive mindset, higher levels of wellbeing, and better mental health.
In fact, research has proven that happy people tend to be more inspired, productive, and satisfied in their job.
A study on the energizing effect of humor found that people who were exposed to humor were better able to perform tasks and in a more persistent way. Particularly, a 12% boost in performance was experienced by participants who were shown a comedy video right before doing a task.
Furthermore, the results of 225 scientific studies found that happy employees score on average 31% higher productivity.
Now, we are not telling you to go hire a standup comedian to make your employees laugh their hearts out before every task at the office, nor turn your workplace into a 24/7 chaotic environment.
There are obviously other ways to have fun within the work-frame. This is exactly where team-building activities enter gloriously. Still not convinced you should start implementing them? Let’s have that talk.
“Where people aren’t having any fun, they seldom produce good work.”– David Ogilvy
“Happy employees experience 31% higher productivity levels.”
Why should you carry out team-building activities regularly?
With the ability to build trust, improve communication, and encourage interaction between different departments, offering regular team-building opportunities within your business has never been more important.
Furthermore, the right team-building events can boost morale with your existing employees and promote a positive company culture to the wider community and, in particular, potential future talent.
To be more specific on the positive impact of fun team-building activities, we are listing 6 amazing benefits below to help you see what is in it for you as a business leader and for your entire team and departments.
1. Foster a motivating environment
When a group of employees successfully achieves a team-building activity it makes them feel good about themselves and increases their confidence in their and their team’s abilities. It is also the best way to show employees the company is willing to invest in them.
2. Improve productivity
Just like we discussed in the first part of this article. Put simply, team-building activities are fun, and by encouraging employees to work together with less effort and more fun, expect to see higher productivity levels.
3. Increased collaboration
Team-building activities help employees build relationships with each other and get to know who has what knowledge or can answer what questions. They also encourage employees to trust their coworkers’ experience and feel they have access to them when assistance is needed.
4. Improved communication
This is probably the key benefit of team-building activities. Positive interactions between colleagues help improve open communication, create a better understanding of each other, and sort out mistrust by encouraging them to focus on what they have in common.
5. Inspire creativity
Team-building activities allow employees to think outside the box and explore their imagination to come up with solutions. Having employees with different perspectives and expertise is the key to a successful business based on creativity and innovation.
6. Positive reinforcement
Integrating recognition into the team is a great opportunity for you to transmit a strong message about your company values. All you have to do is simply highlight positive behaviors and successful work certain employees are doing throughout the team-building activity.
From outdoor activities to games, you can carry out in the office to virtual events that can be just as productive, keep reading to find out ten amazing team-building activity ideas that every Lebanese company should do.
10 amazing team-building activities
1. Field to Fork
An outdoor team-building event that takes place on a farm, Field to Fork allows you and your employees to contribute to work on an organic farm, helping climate change mitigation by planting trees.
This one is perfect for brands that are trying to showcase their sustainability efforts. Your team will enjoy the fresh air and the chance to work closely together and contribute to creating something good.
2. Walking Tour
Ideal for businesses located in Beirut, the Green Alternative Tour requires participants to undergo a walking tour during which they will un-layer the city, one neighborhood at a time. Learning about history, socio-political development, and sustainability, your team will also enjoy several smaller team-building activities throughout the day.
3. Hiking Trips
Hiking in Lebanon is an incredibly invigorating activity that is ideal not only for keeping your employees in optimal physical health but also for stimulating their imagination and getting their creative juices flowing.
No matter how small or large your business is, this activity is incredibly flexible and customizable, with options to suit all fitness levels, ages, and backgrounds, and where hiking groups can consist of 30 up to 250 people.
Now you have something to look forward to during the winter weather months! Taking your team to explore wild and undiscovered areas of Lebanon in the snow will certainly be one team-building event that they won’t forget in a hurry.
Plus, as well as being super fun and bewildering for the eyes – because let’s face it, Lebanon is gorgeous in white – this is another great activity for your employees’ physical well-being.
5. Wellness Programs
More of an ongoing activity, many larger corporations in Lebanon are investing money to support both their team’s physical and mental health, with wellness programs becoming an increasingly popular option.
But hey, it’s not just about following a trend. For some employees, dealing with anxiety and depression is something they carry out on a daily basis, with mental illness being a pre-existing condition for them. It’s important to note that a stressful work environment can worsen their condition and add to their stress.
Others may develop mental health challenges due to stressful, unwelcoming, fast-paced, and even toxic work environments that typically do not foster good mental health. As a business leader, you need to make sure your workplace constitutes a supportive environment for your employees and promotes mental wellness.
“Employees with unresolved depression experience a 35% reduction in productivity.”
American Psychiatric Association
6. Outdoor boot camps
Although outdoor boot camps aren’t for everyone, this could be another great idea to boost employee morale and improve physical health, especially if you have a young team or a company culture that revolves around fitness.
Some of the most impressive benefits of a boot camp are amazing workouts that help burn calories and increase strength, but most importantly it’s about boosting your employees’ self-confidence, changing their lifestyle outlook, and motivating long-term health.
7. Virtual quizzes
We know that COVID-19 changed almost everything about the dynamic of your workplace, but don’t let any change, no matter how significant – such as remote working – get in the way of team building.
Instead, we urge you to seize this opportunity to organize a series of virtual events that everyone can enjoy from the comfort of their own home. One highly popular option is a virtual quiz. This could be about the company and its employees or a general trivia one.
8. Scavenger Hunt
If you don’t have a big budget for team building and not a lot of time to plan, then a scavenger hunt is a great activity that everyone will enjoy. Again, encouraging collaboration, getting everyone up and moving, splitting your team into groups, hiding various items around your facility, and letting them find them.
9. Office trivia
Nothing beats an office trivia quiz when it comes to bringing people together. Test how well your employees know random facts about the office and the company’s history.
10. Escape Rooms
The beauty of an escape room experience is that you can outsource this activity to a local company, or, if your budget does not allow this, you can host your own from inside one of your meeting or board rooms. Plant clues and small activities around the room and let your employees work together to figure a way out.
Trust us on this one. Whether your team is fully virtual, working hybrid, or at the office, doing team-building activities together is the perfect way to get everyone moving, thinking, and working together, all leading to a happier, more productive, and successful work experience!

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
How Much Does Dermabrasion Cost in Orlando?
At Primera Plastic Surgery near Orlando, the cost for a dermabrasion treatment typically ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the treatment areas, your skin’s condition, and other factors.
Proven Techniques, Outstanding Results
Dermabrasion improves the appearance of facial skin in response to:
Scars from accidents or previous surgery
Acne pits and chickenpox scars
Deep lines around the mouth
This procedure can also remove pre-cancerous growths called keratoses.
From A Patient's Perspective
Read and hear real people discuss their unique experiences and get a perspective that is sometimes missing from shorter reviews. These stories feature some of our actual patients describing their personal journeys and what makes Primera Plastic Surgery such a special place.
Performed under general anesthesia, this outpatient procedure takes 1 hour for the full face when performed at Primera Surgery Center. Patients may experience some pinkness and sun sensitivity in the days following treatment. Recovery time is 7 to 10 days.
Full results will occur after 6 months — the time required for full collagen stimulation and the formation of new skin cells. Multiple treatments and combination therapy are critical for patient success. As with any resurfacing procedure, strict attention to wound care and avoiding sun are crucial to your success.
“Dermabrasion is a powerful tool for improving depressed scars in patients with moderate to severe acne scarring. Deep acne scars and chicken pox scars of the face are the main indications for dermabrasion.”
– Dr. Gross

Interview with Life - Cycle Celebrant and Officiant Karla Combres
Karla Combres, celebrant and officiant in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, joined the We Do Wedding Podcast to take us on a deep dive into meaning making and how weddings (and all big life transitions) can be transformational moments.
This was one of our deeper episodes, with topics ranging from ritual to grief to celebration, letting go to what we're saying goodbye to and opening up to what we're welcoming...it was emotional, ya'll.
Karla works with people to make meaningful ceremony for all different kinds of life moments, including weddings but also births, deaths, naming ceremonies, name change ceremonies, and more. She brought rare insight and wisdom to our conversation. This was one of our most memorable episodes to date.
For those of us interested in working with Karla outside of Canada, she does offer consulting in a variety of ways.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Leadership Delivering Results for Our Community
Thank you for your interest in The Weston Republican Town Committee.
Since May, the RTC has been engaged in a program of self-renewal. We have added seven new members and have recruited a strong slate of candidates for the November election. We have also been refining our mission and vision statements. The Weston RTC is committed to recruiting, developing, electing, and (perhaps most importantly) supporting the best possible candidates for elective and appointive office in Weston. We will achieve this goal by cultivating the RTC as a political community that is civil, thoughtful, and professional both internally and in our interactions with the greater community.
We are always recruiting new members for the RTC. Many of our most recent members and candidates for office came to us as politically unaffiliated but wish to get involved now to be part of the solution to partisan rancor that has become normal in political discourse. These new members have energized the RTC. We are building a big tent with diverse ideas and a shared commitment to the Town of Weston.
As we prepare for the November election, we need your help. The success of our campaign depends on volunteers to host meet-the-candidate events, host yard signs, make calls, and just help us get the word out. More importantly, we need you to engage with your friends and neighbors. Please ask them to examine our slate of candidates, watch our interviews, participate in the League of Women voters debates in mid-October and, of course, vote Republican on November 7th!

In the movies Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, there is an imaginary tequila called Zafiro Añejo Tequila. It was substituted for real alcoholic drinks because producers were reluctant to involve their brands in the film because of the negative implications associated with the setting.
The bottle of tequila used in the narrative was made especially for the movie and is not available for purchase. You can’t buy a bottle of Zafiro Añejo, but you can get your hands on a unique bottle stopper. An antique spirits bottle topped with a bottle stopper made of copper-plated sterling silver has mysterious connotations. The name “Zafiro Añejo” refers to the tequila’s age and means “sapphire” in Spanish. As a result of the program’s marketing, Zafiro Añejo is positioned as a premium brand of tequila with a hefty price tag to match.
What Is the Concept of Zafiro Añejo Tequila?
Because other tequila brands were protesting the show’s use, Zafiro Añejo was used as a substitute. A character in the show poisoned a bottle of the drink and gave it to a criminal organisation. Because of this, the show’s authors had to invent a drink because no sponsors were interested in having their products associated with the show.
The production team had to design a bottle and stopper that would seamlessly fit into the well-crafted narratives of both series, bringing to life a fictional product that could easily be perceived as real, premium tequila.
The design of the bottle had to carry forward this narrative of luxury. The production team opted for a sleek, elegant bottle that would hold its ground among real premium tequilas. The bottle stopper, as noted to be a standout feature, is a copper-plated sterling silver piece that not only screams luxury but also carries a shroud of mystery, adding to the tequila’s fictional background story rich with exclusivity and criminal intrigue.
An essential part of this design was also ensuring that the prop fit seamlessly into the world of the series, integrating naturally with the storyline and the characters’ interactions with it. Given the criminal narratives surrounding this fictional tequila, the design had to reflect a product that could believably be involved in high-stakes, criminal activities, yet be sophisticated enough to be associated with luxury and exclusivity.
A Unique Production Process
The unique process by which Añejo tequila is produced is what gives it its own category and niche market. Añejo refers to the amount of time the tequila has been aged. The average aging time in oak barrels is between one and three years, which develops flavor and color.
Aged in oak barrels, the flavor of Añejo tequilas is frequently complex, with hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and sweet spice. Extra Añejo tequila is aged for at least three years in oak casks, far longer than the standard tequila. There are no carbs in Añejo tequila, and it has about 69 calories per ounce. This tequila is best enjoyed neat, but it also makes a great foundation for some sophisticated cocktails.
What’s The Price of Zafiro Añejo Tequila?
A bottle of Zafiro Añejo tequila can cost anywhere from $30 to $100 or more. The regular Añejo will likely set you back more than $50. When shopping for tequila, it’s important to do it within one’s financial means. The price of this bottle of tequila is more than that of mass-produced tequila.
4 Similar Alternatives to Tequilas to Zafiro Añejo
There are a wide variety of excellent Añejo tequilas to choose from:
1. Olmeca Altos Añejo Tequila
100% agave is used in the production of Olmeca Altos Anejo Tequila. It lingers on the palate with aromas of herbs and black pepper spice.
- Price: Generally ranges from $35 to $45 per bottle.
- Availability: This tequila is widely accessible and can be found in regular liquor supermarkets, offering a high-quality option for those shopping on a budget.
2. Komos Tequila Añejo Cristalino
Before aging, Komos Tequila Añejo Cristalino undergoes a charcoal filtering process to remove any traces of color. Although visually comparable to Blanco (white or silver) tequilas, this drink’s flavor is the result of extensive aging in charred oak barrels.
- Price: Its price can be a bit steeper, hovering between $60 and $80 per bottle, reflecting its labor-intensive production process.
- Availability: Given its premium pricing and unique production process, it is more likely to be stocked in high-end luxury stores, catering to individuals seeking a refined choice.
3. Maestro Dobel Diamante Tequila
This is priced somewhere in the middle of the aforementioned tequilas. This drink is more nuanced than your standard Añejo because it is created with a blend of Añejo, extra Añejo, and reposado tequilas. The agave-based drink is flavored with vanilla, almonds, and caramel, and it’s produced from scratch.
- Price: Positioned mid-range, this option can be procured for around $50 to $70 per bottle, presenting a balanced blend of price and quality.
- Availability: Its versatile price point allows it to be available in both regular liquor supermarkets and high-end luxury stores, providing convenience for a wide array of consumers.
4. Casamigos Añejo Tequila
George Clooney owns this tequila brand. The oak, caramel, and spice flavors are bold and the mouthfeel is rich and smooth. Although its flavor is best showcased in mixed drinks, this tequila can be savored on its own.
Price: Sharing a similar price range with Maestro Dobel Diamante, it costs about $50 to $70 for a bottle.
Availability: While it can be found in standard liquor stores, its celebrity ownership and rich flavor profile also make it a staple in luxury liquor stores, appealing to fans of George Clooney and lovers of premium tequilas alike.
How to Enjoy a Glass of Zafiro Añejo Tequila
Tequila can be enjoyed either “straight” (i.e., without ice) or “on the rocks” (with ice). However, the high alcohol content and distinctive flavor of select tequilas make them a viable alternative as a cocktail foundation. A popular tequila beverage, the Margarita calls for just three simple ingredients. A salt-rimmed cocktail glass is the first step. The combination of sweet and sour flavors in the drink will benefit from this:
- Shake 4 ice cubes, 1 ounce of Cointreau or triple sec, 3/4 of an ounce of lime juice, and 1.5 ounces of tequila in a cocktail shaker.
- Pour the drink through a strainer into a cocktail glass and top with ice before serving.
Another simple and delicious cocktail that requires just three components is the Tequila Sunrise:
- In a highball glass filled with ice, combine 2 ounces of tequila and 4 ounces of orange juice and stir.
- The sunrise effect is created by adding 3/4 ounces of grenadine, which will sink to the bottom of the glass.
- This cocktail is light and refreshing, making it a great choice for breakfast or the warm weather.
- If nothing else, tequila makes a great cocktail basis. Add one (a single) or two (a double) shots to your preferred mixer and savor.
Grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, agave syrup, or your favorite soda can be used as mixers.
What Else Should You Know About Zafiro Añejo?
Is Tequila Zafiro Añejo authentic?
The writers of “Breaking Bad” made up the tequila brand “Zafiro Añejo.” The alcohol industry’s reluctance to participate in product placement led to its inception.
What Makes Mexican Tequila So Distinctive?
There has been a shift away from the traditional method of making tequila in favor of large manufacturing technologies. But the finished drink’s flavor suffers as a result of this. Many manufacturers in Mexico still employ time-honored techniques, guaranteeing authentic flavours.

Most aerators look fairly similar, because they have outlet connected to a hose leading to the tank. Shaft aerators have a far different approach to aerating septic systems. Septic systems that use this type of aerator have a port in the top to lower the unit into the tank. The shaft is lowered down into the tank, and the legs of the unit hold the motor above the water. Once the shaft is in the water, the motor will spin the shaft very quickly. The shape of the end of the shaft draws air down the hollow shaft and into the waste water.
The size of the access port can very between septic systems. Fortunately, the legs of shaft aerators are available in multiple sizes to span different sized openings.

QST Managing Editor Joel Kleinman, N1BKE - SK
N1BKE died from injuries received during a house fire. He was 64.
Kleinman was responsible for the coordination, organization, control and
completion of all aspects of QST's editorial content each month. Kleinman's
wife Jayne survived the fire, but is currently in the intensive care unit
of a local hospital.
According to the Meriden Record-Journal, David Chester, who lives across the
street from the Kalimna's -- and about 20 others who were in his backyard at
the time of the fire were the first responders to the blaze. "It was crazy,"
Chester told the newspaper. "Somebody smelled smoke, and most everyone went
over there immediately."
Others immediately ran into the house to save Jayne Kleinman. "Steve [one of
Chester's friends] said he saw her legs and pulled on them," Chester said.
"The other two grabbed her from her back, and together they brought her out
onto the front lawn."
Fire-fighters located Joel Kleinman in a bedroom on the second floor and
paramedics treated him at the scene, but he died later at a local hospital.
The ARRL is collecting condolence messages to forward on to Joel's family.

The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) has embraced the European

a global radio community.
IARU President Tim Ellam VE6SH said the IARU believes that the proposal,
to be submitted by the EBU, could provide a unique opportunity to standardise
Radio domain names on the Internet.
In a letter Tim VE6SH said, "I recommend that the dot-radio Top Level Domain
proposal of the EBU be approved by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers)."
The IARU has been the voice of the world Amateur Radio community since 1925

As part of the Ipswich and District Radio Club's 50th year celebrations, they
have secured special callsign VI4WIP50 Victor India 4 Whiskey India Papa 50.
Club members have put together a roster to work the bands for the licence
period from August 25 until September 8.
While the club won't be on air 24/7 during the two weeks approved by ACMA,
there will be plenty of opportunities to work this very special call-sign.
At this stage weekends and some week-nights the club house will be open as
members attempt to work as many stations as possible.
Listen up for VI4WIP50, from August 25.
What use is an f-call
A recent lunchtime conversation between Hams revealed that the perception
that you need to upgrade your license is still alive and well.
Now, I should start by saying that I'm all for upgrading your skill level and
learning. Getting a higher grade license is an excellent way to formalise the
process of training and encouraging yourself to learn specific skills, but
that notion is not related in any way to your ability to participate as an
I know that I keep saying that Power is not the Answer, it's what you do with
what you have that makes all the difference.
The more I come across other amateurs, the more I realise that if I look at
my Foundation License as a QRP, or low-power license, the more I can find
challenges to tackle and investigate. I'm actively investigating new antenna
types and ways to get my signal out to the world.
Last weekend I spent several hours looking for new take-off points around my
QTH, my home-town, and have found several promising locations that need
The thing I like about Amateur Radio is that it's as much about being
self-driven and motivated as it is about joining forces with other Amateurs
who are either trying to achieve something that runs in parallel to your
goals, or who have achieved what you're aiming for.
My personal goal, for no other reason that I'd like to prove to myself that
it can be done is to achieve the DXCC, an amateur radio award, earned by
making contact with 100 or more geographic entities around the world, using
just my Foundation License. I don't know if it has been done or not and while
I could spend an enjoyable Sunday finding out, it's more about showing myself
that it can be done. I don't know if I am going to take a month, a year or a
decade to do this, but that's my aim. One thing I know is that I'll be
talking to lots of people around the world to get there - hi hi.
So, my question to you is, what motivates you to use your License, Foundation

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!
A MILITARY radio found in a bunker on Iwo Jima was probably the one used by
the Japanese army to send its final message before the island was overrun by
US soldiers, a news.com.au report says.
The transmitter was found in an underground bunker, near the remains of a
Japanese soldier, an official said.
The bunker, in the north of the volcanic island, is believed to have
functioned as the Japanese Imperial Army's communications centre, the
Tokyo Shimbun said.
The message, which is widely known in Japan for its poetic expressions of
self-sacrifice, redolent of the era of the samurai, says
"arrows and bullets are exhausted" and "sorrow comes as I fall".
About 22,000 Japanese and 7,000 US soldiers died during the month-long battle
in early 1945, which is seen as a key moment in the conflict.

NEWS FROM ARNEWSLINE USA
HAM IN WALES USES UNUSUAL APPROACH TO WIN TOWER FIGHT
A ham in Wales has won a tower dispute with the town he lives in by taking a
very different approach. He accused the town's community council of
bordering on racism and won an appeal to erect a fourth tower in his garden.
We have more in this report:
Michael Butler, GW0MNP, had his planning
application for a 21 foot antenna mast rejected
three times in under a year but he did not give
up. In what may best be called an unprecedented
three-pronged attack, Butler not only accused the
city council of racism but also wrote letters
accusing the Gazette newspaper of being "biased
and sarcastic" and calling borough Mayor councillor Marlene Thomas "an idiot".
According to Wales dot com, Butler, of Green
Meadow, sent a stinging letter to Cefn Cribwr
Community Council last month. In it he claimed
that their "prejudice" against his antenna mast
installation ideas "bordered on racism".
In March, Bridgend County Borough Council
planners denied Butler's request to erect the
mast in his garden to further his amateur radio
hobby. Those opposed to his installation
compared the proposed antennae to "a flying
But in the end, Butler's interesting approach
succeeded. This when Welsh planning inspector
Rebecca Phillips upheld his appeal against the
council planners initial decision. Her decision
means he can now keep the three towers already
has and erect a fourth. The only proviso is the
new tower is only at its full height for three hours a day.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, mulling this one over here in the newsroom in Los Angeles.

tower appeal, including commentary by some of

NEW RADIO BURST HEARD ON THE HF BANDS
The IARU Monitoring System Region 1 newsletter reports on a new burst radio
system that is affecting the amateur radio operations in the 80, 40, 20 and
15 meter bands.
Writing in the newsletter Wolfgang Hadel, DK2OM,
says that he discovered a new burst system
operating on 3.5, 7, 14 and 21 MHz, daily.
Hadel who is the IARU Region 1 Monitoring System
Coordinator says that the system is active every
full hour at plus 1, plus 2 and plus 3 minutes
with 10.4 sec. bursts of 20 kHz width. Also, the
signals appear to come from France.
DK2OM adds that audio frequency analysis seems to
pin this as being similar to CODAR signals.
Their real purpose is unknown but DK2OM says that
perhaps this is a new kind of over the horizon radar or Ionosonde.
As we go to air, Germany's Department of Post and Telecommunications has
filed a complaint with its French counterpart.

Unfortunately, Alex did not take out insurance cover for his time away. Thus,

ATV QSO PARTY Friday night August 24 till Saturday morning/afternoon AEST.
Working Australia Pedestrian Mobile.
A video showing radio amateur David Roper M 0 DAD using his pedestrian mobile
station to work Paul Simmonds VK 5 PAS in South Australia on 20m is available
on the web, Google M 0 PAS.
The purpose of this video was to show ham radio operator VK5PAS how he was
being received at the other end of a long path QSO from Australia to UK. The
receiving location is Blyth beach, North-East UK.
The equipment in use was a pedestrian portable station with everything
mounted on a small shopping trolley.
The audio quality is masked in places due to the crashing noise of the wind
WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- FINAL FRONTIER
The amateur radio satellite Tethersat is a 3U CubeSat that splits into two
joined by a 1 km tether to test electrodynamic tether propulsion.
Both spacecraft will use 9600 bps AX25 GFSK packet downlinks on UHF.
A launch is planned on ORS-3 in July 2013 from the Wallops Flight Facility
on Wallops Island, Va.
Electrodynamic tether propulsion propulsion has the potential to make space
travel significantly cheaper. It is a simplified, very low-budget magnetic
sail. It can be used either to accelerate or brake an orbiting spacecraft.
When direct current is pumped through the tether, it exerts a Lorentz force
against the magnetic field, and the tether accelerates the spacecraft.
Potentially this technique could be used to raise the orbit of a satellite
from 600 to 1000 km using a Ward Spiral manoeuvre.
See the 2009 paper Tethered Satellite Dynamics, Mission Design and
Applications by Chadwick Healy
WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ILLW
Good result for the ILLW
Many thanks to the record number of registered stations for the 15th annual
International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend.
In the lead on registrations was Australia very closely followed by the US,
Germany, England and the Netherlands. The next five were Sweden, South Africa,
Argentina, Scotland and Canada.
There were 472 registrations just ahead of last year, a very good result
despite having eight fewer countries participating, with financial and political
change thought to be contributing factors.
In some places, judging by the increased public visits, there was interest
in the ancient form of maritime navigation. The news media also helped by
running numerous stories about the weekend.
It met its intentions of raising awareness of the need to restore and preserve
the structures, promote amateur radio and spread goodwill.
Visit the website ILLW.NET for full details, reports from the many activations,
and online registration for the next fun event to be held on August 17-18

Gii shi bah ho sah, Ron Prelvitz, 57, began his journey in his home just a few miles outside of his beloved community of Warroad, Minnesota on Saturday, October 15, 2022.
A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, he will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, and his community.
Ronald E. Prelvitz (57) of Warroad, MN. Sunrise: May 27, 1965. Sunset: October 15, 2022.
Ron was born to Ronald Harold Prelvitz and Georgina Marie (Cobiness) Prelvitz on May 27th, 1965, in Milwaukee, WI. Ron grew up in Warroad, MN, attending Warroad Elementary and Warroad High School. He then went on to graduate from Northland Community and Technical College with a Body Technician degree.
In 1988 Ron was united in marriage to Leola (Crandall) Palm. They began their lives together in Fargo, ND, where they had two children: Ronnie and Melissa. Ron and Leola later went their separate ways but maintained a great relationship.
In 2002 Ron met his match and soulmate Joanna Collins. Ron stepped right in as a father to daughter Taylor Collins, and he and Joanna had son Joseph in 2005.
As a respected Ojibwe community leader Ron’s love of his Ojibwe heritage was always apparent in his efforts to teach, share and learn. He shared these traditions with his children and he and Joanna were always involved in the Ojibwe community stretching far outside of Warroad. He was involved and instrumental in shaping the Indian Education Program at Warroad.
Ron loved hockey and coached Joe’s Tiny Mites and Mites teams. Watching each kid grow and succeed on and off the ice filled his heart with joy. He loved staying active in Old Timers hockey, skating at the Gardens and tournaments with the Roosevelt Roosters.
He was an inspiration and a mentor, and beyond generous with his time and his knowledge. He loved his family and community beyond measure and will be missed by so many.
Ron accomplished much with his time here, but the Creator needed him for other work, and it was time to call him home.
He is survived by his beloved wife Joanna, adored children Ronnie (Nalirath) Crandall of Grand Forks, ND, Melissa (Brent) Crandall of Warroad, MN, Taylor (Nova) Collins of Fargo, ND, and Joseph Prelvitz of Warroad, MN. Grandchildren Tanner, Macklin, and Kinsley. Siblings Annie (Tim) Hartley of Warroad, MN, Jackie (Jason) Oslund of Wannaska, MN, Doug Prelvitz of Winnipeg, Manitoba and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents Ronald H. Prelvitz and Georgina (Cobiness) Prelvitz, brother William “Bill” Prelvitz, and nephew Everett W. Huggins.
A Celebration of Life for Ronald E. Prelvitz of Warroad, MN will begin on Friday, October 21, 2022, at 4:00 pm at the Warroad High School Gymnasium. Following the service, a traditional ceremony will continue at Ron and Joanna’s home through Sunday. Feasting and sacred journey home ceremonies will take place until he completes his journey home on Sunday, October 22, 2022.
In addition to the service at the school we invite ALL to share in the feasting and traditional services at Ron and Joanna’s home. You are welcome to come anytime and stay as long as you wish. Ron loved to share his Ojibwe culture and he would love to have all his friends share in his sacred traditional journey home.
A benefit fund to help Joanna and family has been set up at Security State Bank in Warroad, MN.

The options you have when faced with a challenging situationFeb 07, 2022
Three ways to think about it…
It’s amazing how people will wind themselves up- and in my opinion, spend a disproportionate amount of time, moaning and whining about things they have no intention of doing anything about, or a situation which they cannot influence. It’s a misuse of energy that could be redirected for a much more positive benefit elsewhere.
A large development is planned near to where a friend of mine lives. I say a large development, it's more like a brand new village. Residents from surrounding villages are up in arms that a local landowner is going to sell his land to developers to allow this to take place. It's in the consultation phase at the moment with local people's views being sought, plans put out for perusal and approval and the local council investigating the viability of the project.
There are concerns that there isn't the infrastructure to support the number of houses proposed to be built- roads won't be able to take the extra traffic, local schools will be oversubscribed, and that GP surgeries can't handle the number of patients as it is- or so is widely believed, so people are asking how it will manage such an influx of people.
There is a lot of noise, but is anyone sticking their head above the parapet and doing anything about it?
My friend said that a Facebook group has been created and local people are airing their views. The trouble is, apparently there's a fair amount of talk the talk going on, with very little walking the walk taking place. Many believe it's a done deal and that there's nothing they can do to influence the situation.
Very often, we say there’s nothing we can do about a situation but if we really wanted to, is it possible we might be able to find a way? I find it interesting to ask myself the question: Is it that I can't or is it that I don't want to badly enough? There are very few things which are genuine lighthouses in life– those situations we can do absolutely nothing about such as the weather, the passing of time, the past and our age. For most other issues, you can most probably do something if you really want to. For your own sanity, know the difference, something which the Serenity Prayer puts so well.
The three choices you have when faced with a situation you're not happy about:
- Do something- change the situation or process.
- If you can't do anything to change the situation, or you can’t be bothered or don't want to face the possible consequences of doing something, change the way you think about it.
- Carry on complaining.
The trouble is, far too many people spend much of their time thinking a situation is a lighthouse which they’re moaning about, so do nothing to change the situation, or, if it is a genuine lighthouse, they continue to bang their head against the rocks rather than work out a way round it.
A little less conversation…
Is the proposed housing development a lighthouse or could local people do something about the situation? Has an action group been formed? Is there anyone spearheading what the group is doing to seek to have their views heard? Is there a coordinated effort to ensure all bases are covered in terms of liaising with the developer and the council, and perhaps contacting the local MP etc? From what I hear, there's not too much of that taking place.
In these kinds of situations, people very often prefer to mumble from the sidelines. They don't want the effort of getting involved, so they unwittingly chip away at their self-respect by continuing to moan but doing nothing to change anything.
This is best illustrated below, by a model developed by Stephen Covey:
Our Circle of Influence is where we care enough to want to make a difference about issues which are important to us – we’re willing to do something to make a change, to kickstart progress. Maybe you work in HR or Leadership and Development and feel appraisals are not getting the best out of everyone– perhaps you feel coaching and mentoring is the way forward. You can help to implement this change by speaking to the senior leadership team. Perhaps there is an issue at your child's school and rather than join the playground whingers, you make an appointment with the Headteacher to discuss your concerns and see if a way forward can be found.
The Circle of Concern is where we’ll comment on things, nay have a good old moan but don’t actually step up to the plate and do anything about it. If we want to do something enough, we will widen our Circle of Influence. One of my daughters feels that since the COVID pandemic, due to year group bubbles needing to be established at school for safety, the cohesiveness of the student body has been lost. There used to be many more activities and themed days which everyone could get involved in. It encouraged student engagement and very often raised money for important causes that the students felt strongly about. My daughter, who can be very self-conscious, wanted to do something so spoke to the Deputy Headteacher and asked if she could have a meeting with him to propose some ideas. She asked me to help her with a PowerPoint presentation so that she could effectively get her ideas across. She had the meeting and her proposals were well met. My daughter was chuffed to bits - not only was something going to happen to benefit students and to raise money for a number of charities, but she had given herself a dollop of self-respect.
Very often we think that we as an individual cannot influence positive change but I always marvel at Greta Thunberg - whether you like what she has to say or not, she is a great example of how one person can create a sea change in attitudes and action. So concerned was she about stronger action being taken on climate change, that aged just 15 years old, she started to sit outside the Swedish parliament holding up a sign reading ‘Skolstrejk för klimatet’ (School strike for the climate). This was a one-person protest which has led to a global movement. Now that’s widening your Circle of Influence…
Put up or shut up
Along with the Circles of Influence and Concern, there’s a little whinge gap because well, we all love a little moan sometimes – we download and we move on. It’s clearly not something we’re too bothered about because otherwise it would be within our Circle of Influence. So, we decide we’re not going to get a bee in our bonnet, nor elevate it to something we perpetually whinge about.
Which area do you think people spend most of their time? It’s the Circle of Concern– you’ll hear things like: ‘Isn’t it dreadful the amount of homeless people on the street?’ ‘Isn’t it terrible how the local MP is doing nothing about the mess they’re making of the new inner ring road,’ ‘It’s awful how little nurses get paid,’ etc etc. If they care enough about something, they’d widen their Circle of Influence, as opposed to just incessantly talking about it, without taking any action.
People with high self-respect and self-esteem send emails, contact their local MP, form a pressure group or start a charity to make a change. Greta Thunberg did, so did Malala. As did Marcus Rashford. They cared enough to do something about the situation they weren’t happy with.
Put up or shut up – do something about it or stop whingeing, if it’s that important to you, you’ll effect positive change.
Could it be true that some people have a small Circle of Influence because they can’t be bothered to do anything? Do we have a lot more influence than we exercise sometimes? We may need to expand the Circle of Influence to meet the Circle of Concern. What are you doing to do this? Some of the laws we enjoy today are because historically some other people cared enough…
The wrong kind of party
Very often, the complainers in life find company and when two or more people get together for a whinge, a ‘Pity Party’ is formed. In the workplace, they’re a self-serving culture destroyer- when people have been whinging negatively, even for just a short time, it takes two hours for their brain to get back to being productive - that's a lot of money lost for that company! However, positive complaint is necessary; it’s how we get things changed.
Linda Cliatt-Wayman gives a powerful TED Talk on fixing broken schools. One of the three powerful slogans she uses in her schools is: ‘So what? Now what?’ She says it eliminates all the excuses and gets people to think ‘What are WE going to do about it?’ A question I suggest persistent faultfinders could ask themselves…
To do or not to do, that is the question…
Can you do something about everything you are concerned about? Probably not and if that is the case then consciously choose to put it in the background. It’s about choosing consciously where you want to put your time, energy and resources.
It’s okay to have an opinion without action, that’s your choice as long as you don’t keep winding yourself up about it. If you are consciously choosing to do nothing about it at the moment, you avoid guilt. Your life might already be full of many other challenges and issues, people and work, which are important to you. The point is, don’t be one of life’s complainers who stands on the sidelines, comments but takes no action. Be a conscious thinker. Know what bothers you enough that you’ll do something about it and park the stuff which you find frustrating or disappointing but which you know you’re not going to act on.
It means your self-respect and sanity remain in-tact.
. . . . . . .
Do you find you frequently wind yourself up? Are you finding the negatives in life seem to outweigh the positives and you don't know how to redress the balance?

Your Words Justify or Condemn You
Everyday, I am so grateful for my salvation ... and in awe of the great work accomplished through the Cross of Jesus Christ. As a teacher of the Word of God, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from God. The Cross purchased that for us also, you know.
There are laws God has put to work in the universe and after becoming Christians, the Holy Spirit goes to work ... if we'll let Him. To teach us and lead us into all truth. He will begin to teach us about the power in our tongue for instance, that out of the abundance of our heart our mouth will speak, by our words we will be justified and by our words we will be condemned.
Jesus put it this way in Matthew 12:
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned."
Idle words are words that are lazy, useless, inactive, unemployed, barren or slow.
The Bible says that the Word of God is quick and powerful and that God sent it to heal us. If that is the case, then I want to stick with speaking God's Word. At least it will be producing what it says and I won't be wasting my breath on all those useless inactive words.
Meditation Scripture: Matthew 12:

That's Your Interpretation!
No doubt you have had someone declare to you, after you've read a biblical text that undermines their belief or practice, "That's just your interpretation of the Bible!" How ought we to respond to such an accusation and how ought we to read the Bible faithfully? These are the questions addressed today.

The world becomes a better place when we extend kindness to each other, especially during times of need.
Mike Alexander, a mechanic from Worcester, was waiting for his pizza order at Kelley Square Pizza when he noticed an elderly man enter the establishment. The man was leaning on a makeshift cane, wearing two coats, and his hands were trembling. He seemed very hungry and asked if he could receive a discount or any leftover food that was going to be thrown away.
Although the restaurant was about to close, the manager behind the counter refused to let the man leave empty-handed. Instead of offering the leftover food he had requested, the manager instructed an employee to prepare anything the elderly gentleman desired. Mike shared the story on Facebook, highlighting the importance of showing compassion and kindness towards one another.
Witnessing the incredible kindness the manager offered, and sharing the story with his Facebook friends, Mike wrote: “I just want everyone to know that during these tough and crazy times where others in the world are out to hurt… there’s still a lot of good. There’s a lot of great. Start with yourselves. Open a door, pay for a coffee, pass on some food, donate to something, thank a vet, hang out with the elderly. Anything.”
A lot of the people who stumbled upon Mike’s post praised the manager’s kind deed.
“Nothing makes me happier than hearing about people being wonderful to other people. Thank you!” one person wrote.
“God bless all of you for your generosity in feeding this elderly man who couldn’t buy himself a warm meal. It’s a tough world we live in and so many people going on notice… You all have a big heart and a blessed soul. I praise those to the highest pedestal for the kindness you are doing. Thank you, God will reward you all,” another added.
There were also those who shared similar experiences. “I was in burger king a few days ago. It was cold outside. An elderly woman comes in, has about 60 cents and asked for a coffee with the senior discount. The lady looked homely but her coffee came out to 84 cents. I told the cashier [to] make it a large and give her back her change; it’s on me. The lady started to cry and thanked me and asked to give me a hug, so I did… I was waiting for my food when the manager came with her coffee plus some food. He told her to sit and enjoy your food and coffee,” a person named Gabrielle P. wrote.
We are so happy there are still people out there who would step in for someone in need without hesitating even a bit.

Wausau residents tired of shoveling, eager for spring after overnight snow storm
WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) - Believe it or not, we’ve already hit April in 2023. Though time flew, the weather seems like it’s remaining the same.
“Woke up, thought it was a joke, April Fools Day. Wasn’t thinking we’re gonna get more snow in April, but here we are,” said Wausau resident David Olson.
Despite snow this late in the season, not everyone is surprised.
“I’m used to it, but come April I’m sick of it,” said Olson. “But it is what it is, we live here, we choose to live here, we gotta take care of it.”
While many are tired of the winter weather, others are making the most of it.
“It feels really nice. There’s been a lot of winter months, so it’s nice to be outside and play for a while,” said Wausau resident Micah Duncan. “My Dad plowed off the basketball court to play out here, so that was nice of him.”
No matter how you feel, the winter weather only adds more excitement for spring weather ahead.
“I’m definitely looking forward to spring, I’m tired of the white crap,” said Wausau resident Robert Baumann. “Walking outside, I’m tired of looking at trees and seeing dead branches. I’m looking forward to the butterflies, I’m looking forward to the green and the leaves.”
“Definitely a lot more motivation, maybe a little motivation to move a little further south,” said Olson. “Definitely ready for spring.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Here's Friday's Consumer Catch-up.
Concern over elevators in vacation rentals
Regulators want AirBnb and Vrbo hosts to disable their residential elevators.
It comes after a 7-year-old died last week in a vacation home elevator in North Carolina.
Small children can be crushed to death in a gap that may exist between the doors.
The agency wants rental owners to provide proof of an elevator inspection, certifying that no hazardous gap exists.
Home prices still rising
Home prices continue to go up.
The median price for an existing home hit $363,300 in June, up 23% over last June, according the National Association of Realtors.
The group added that 89% of homes that hit the market in June sold in less than a month.

So much for a fresh start. Less than two hours into 2022, Portland saw its first two gun homicides of the year, a double slaying in the Argay neighborhood.
At 1:47 am on Jan. 1, police found three people injured by gunshots along Northeast 131st Place. One man died at the scene, another at a hospital. A third is expected to survive.
The double homicide follows a year in which Portland saw 90 murders, according to figures released to WW by the Portland Police Bureau today. That shatters the previous record of 70, set in 1970 (when the population was 46% smaller). Sixty-nine of the 90 homicides were committed with guns, police say.
Preliminary statistics show 385 Portlanders were injured last year by gunfire. Police say they responded to 1,287 calls about shootings.
On Jan. 1, two people living outside suffered serious burns when a propane tank set their tent on fire.

I am very excited to be hosting the Broken Forest Choose Your Own Adventure Blog Hop in celebration of the publication of Broken Forest by Eliza Tilton.
Eliza graduated from Dowling College with a BS in Visual Communications. When she’s not arguing with excel at her day job, or playing Dragon Age 2, again, she’s writing. Her stories hold a bit of the fantastical and there’s always a romance. She resides on Long Island with her husband, two kids and one very snuggly pit bull.
Eliza and I met through blogging and I'm absolutely thrilled that, as of yesterday, she is a published author -- Broken Forest came out on May 1 from Curiosity Quills Press!
First, I'm going to tell you a little about the book, and then you can go and choose your own adventure. I hear that most people who try this do not make it out alive. Be careful, and be sure to come back and tell me how you fared :) I can't wait to try it myself.
Summary (from Goodreads:) Hopeless he'll never be more than the boy who didn't save his brother, 17-year-old Avikar accepts his life as the family stable boy, trying to forget the past. But when his sister, Jeslyn, is kidnapped, the thought of losing another sibling catapults him on a desperate quest. With his best friend by his side, and using the tracking skills he learned from his father, he discovers Jeslyn has been taken, kidnapped by one Lucino, the young lord of Daath, a mystical place thought only to exist in fables. And Lucino has plans for Jeslyn.
Okay, are we all ready?
The adventure starts now….
One choice can lead you down a variety of different paths. Some will lead to secret treasures while others will lead to death. Choose wisely and you may find the ultimate reward.
If you come across a link that doesn’t work, please leave a comment and we’ll get it fixed right away!
You’re standing in the small clearing outside of Raswood Forest. The suns have disappeared leaving you and your companions alone in the moonlight.
A full moon signifies one thing: the hunt.
Inside the dangerous forest are black flowers. These flowers only bloom during a full moon. Their nectar is vital in the healing tonics your village uses to fight off infections from the bogs—marshland creatures that tend to venture into your lands. Once picked, the flower takes a few moon cycles to regrow.
“You two will head in last,” Tavo says.
“I’m always last,” Ella whines.
Roole, the largest of your companions, props his mace against his shoulder. “You’d rather scout, first?”
Ella nods and you shake your head. “Ella,” you say. “You know we always take turns. Once the scouts check for the winter wolves, they’ll whistle for us.”
“Here are your pouches.” Tavo hands out small juice pouches. Each pouch contains a different colored berry. “Remember, once you’re tagged, you can no longer compete.”
Whoever tags the most companions wins the title of Jenzi—a skilled ranger. The title offers bragging rights among the other village youth, but it also means your family will get a bigger portion of the black flower nectar.
With Lena and Brev, you are a total of six.
“I don’t see why we have to wait,” Ella grumbles. She bounces back and forth, pouting at the departing companions.
“Tavo knows if you go in, you’ll tag him. He’s not as fast as you.”
She smiles. “You’re right. I’m going to get him this time and find as many flowers as I can.”
Ella is your sister. Are you her brother or sister?
A) Brother, and a dashing one at that. Go HERE.
B) Sister. Go HERE.
Okay, before you decide, enter below to win some book swag. You know, just in case you don't make it out alive...

The Pershing 140 is the ultimate expression of the Pershing thrill. She is not only Pershing’s first all-aluminum superyacht, she is also the first yacht with a raised helm station directly connected to the sun deck. She is the first to set the area dedicated to the owner on the main deck, and is also the first to have a beach area that can open fully on three sides.
«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»

A word from the founder and director of I CAN MOVE, Nadia Arouri:
The idea of creating a community dance performance that targets street-children / child-labourers grew in me gradually throughout the rehearsals of the community dance performance of EXILE in the summer of 2011. The artistic team and I would sometimes go out after our rehearsals to grab a coffee and cake in Café de la Paix. Many children often came by and asked if we would buy gum, ID covers, or whatever it is they had at that moment. However, a boy named Yehya – at least that’s what he always told us his name was – asked us “what is it that you do?” The minute we told him about our programme, Yehya’s eyes widened and he asked if we do ‘such things’ with ‘normal’ children or with boys like him as well?
I took Yehya’s number and promised to contact him next time we do a performance so that he can join. I also promised to call him in a week’s time to give him tickets to the premiere of EXILE at the Ramallah Cultural Palace. Yehya walked back to the traffic light singing like he always did. A week later I tried to call Yehya only to find out the number I had was wrong. Back then I felt angry with myself as I thought I had made a mistake when writing down the number. Little did I know about the reality of boys like him, who live in constant fear and thus would never share their real name nor contact details with a stranger.
Between August 2011 and June 2012 in my eyes the number of street-children / child-labourers in Ramallah quadrupled. As if that alone is not enough, I sadly also observed people becoming more aggressive towards them. When a child would pass by a coffee shop, various accusations would be thrown at the children, ranging from calling them thieves, to theories about how wealthy their parents were or theories of parental abuse.
On June 10th 2012, while sitting in QMH Bakery with my colleague, I noticed a street- child /child-labourer approach a car that had just parked. After exchanging some words with the child, the man in the parked 4-wheel drive aggressively opened the car door, hitting the child to the floor. It only took me a few seconds to recognise the child – it was singing Yehya.
After checking in with Yehya, I told him how sad I was that I had obviously written his number wrong and that I couldn’t reach him to give him the tickets for the premiere of EXILE, upon which he told me that he gave me the wrong number and that he cannot give me the real one because I could give it to the police. Hence, I gave him my business-card and told him he could check our website, and if he felt like he would like to join us, and trust that we will not go to the police then he could call me. With this Yehya walked again in the direction of the traffic light singing like he always does, as I made him a promise that the next performance would be for “boys like him”.
Recruiting street-children / child-labourers in the following months proved to be a very tricky task. The data the children shared with the YANTE staff was almost always fake. It was only in December 2012 that one of the street-children / child-labourers decided to trust the assistant to the programme coordinator, Areen Shehadeh, after she had followed him around for weeks in a row in the cold winter, with the Narrative Report of EXILE in her hand, attempting to show the street-children / child-labourers pictures of the other children dancing, in order to gain their trust.
Once the first agreed to share his real name and phone number, the rest of the children gradually came along. By end of January 2013, 19 street- children / child-labourers had signed up for the performance. A meeting was set with them on February 1st 2013 to which less than 10 of them showed up and informed us that the rest of the street-children / child-labourers changed their mind and would not be joining. We had a short talk with the children and explained to them our motives, our values, the rehearsal plan and the planned media campaign to raise awareness to their living circumstances. Most importantly we made it clear to the street-children / child-labourers that we as YANTE cannot do this alone, that we need their commitment and dedication. We as YANTE cannot change people’s image of them, if they themselves don’t change the way they view themselves and in accordance their behaviour.
This prelude must have had a positive resonance amongst the street-children / child- labourers, as more than 20 joined on the first day of rehearsals. By the end of the first week 31 street-children / child-labourers joined the rehearsals of “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps”.
In the year 2011, 17 children from the town of Tammoun participated in the community dance performance EXILE. Only boys from Tammoun were allowed to participate in the rehearsals and performance of EXILE, citing ‘cultural’ restraints. However, after having watched the full EXILE performance, where the boys were physically and mentally communicating with girls in a healthy manner, the mayor of Tammoun walked up to the organisation team, invited them to dinner and said, “next time we will also send our girls to dance with you”.
Hence, in Autumn 2012, the admin staff of YANTE contacted the coordinators of the Youth Institution for Young Boys and Girls Tammoun, informed them about the upcoming performance and asked them to gather a group of 50 children, with 25 girls and 25 boys, including some of the boys who had previously participated in EXILE.
After many phone calls and negotiations YANTE’s admin staff was informed in January 2013 that they were unable to recruit any girls, citing again cultural constraints. Subsequently the admin team asked the club if they could help organising a meeting with some mothers from the area. The club coordinators were, as usual, extremely helpful and cooperative. Within a few days, the coordinators had arranged for a meeting with the mothers in the beginning of February.
In a short but heart-warming meeting, Nadia Arouri spoke to the women about the experience the 17 boys of Tammoun had undergone in 2011. She presented the Narrative Report, with the many pictures of the children, which built trust and encouraged the women to allow their girls to participate in the rehearsals and performances of “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps”.
As the rehearsals started a few weeks later, the admin staff, coordinators of the Youth Institution for Young Boys and Girls Tammoun, the artistic team and the trainees were extremely enthused to welcome more than 40 girls and 30 boys into the municipality hall of Tammoun.
Yet again, community dance has proven to provide a medium for females to enforce their equality with men, to openly express themselves and appreciate their physicality, as prejudices against them are broken in the course of the training.
One of I CAN MOVE’s important work philosophies is that of bringing together contrasting social strata within each artistic work, in other words, an encounter between opposite ends of the spectrum. Hence street-children / child- labourers, i.e. the least economically privileged children in society, are brought together with children from private schools, i.e. the most economically privileged children in society.
Some of the members of the admin team and the trainees were graduates from private schools and looking back on their school years, seemed to share the wish that there had been more common activities and cooperation between the schools, apart from sports tournaments. Hence, the team decided to combine three schools: The Friends Schools, The Arab Evangelical Episcopal School, and The Mustaqbal School.
60 children were invited to join from the Friends Schools, 60 children where invited to join from the Arab Evangelical Episcopal School, and 40 children were invited to join from the Mustaqbal School. Together with the 40 street-children / child-labourers it would make 200 children. The children from each school would then be split into two groups. 100 children would rehearse on Monday and Wednesday and the other 100 children would rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday .The rehearsals on Monday and Tuesday would take place at the Friends Schools, and the rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday would take place at the Arab Evangelical Episcopal School. Hence, each of the children would be brought together with children from two other schools as well as street-children / child-labourers, and the child would have one rehearsal at his school and another at a new and different school.
The schools were very cooperative right from the start and gave us time to speak to their students about the upcoming performance. The schools also provided their facilities in-line with their extra-curricular activities’ schedule.
Between June 2012 and February 2013 the staff of YANTE held many meetings with society figures as well as private and public sector officials to brainstorm and initiate actions to tackle the issue of street-children / child-labourers. YANTE defined the situation as follows:
Hence: What can the private sector do, and what is the government’s role in enabling it?
Talks were held with stakeholders from various branches of the private sector, the most fruitful of which were with the banks. A high ranking bank official proposed in September 2012 that the banks would employ those children in the afternoons to do handicraft and art works in advertisements for the bank, hence ensuring that the children are attending school and are working in a safe and protected environment, where their creativity is encouraged, their skills are elevated, and most importantly, where they have a healthy encounter with society, hence integrating them back into the social structure and eliminating their feeling of being “outcasts”. This proposal was brought forth to other banks, as well as the Palestinian Ministry of Social Affairs. Some of the Palestinian banks expressed interest in this proposal, under the prerequisite of course that the public sector would ensure that the necessary measures, laws and regulations are in place so that the banks’ would not break any laws by employing the children.
Further meetings were held with the Palestinian Ministry of Social Affairs, who expressed interest in the initiative, but were however sceptical of the scope of community dance as such and the administrative team’s capacities of recruiting the street-children / child-labourers. They were unwilling to take any actions before the beginning of February 2013. Thus YANTE again met with the Ministry of Social Affairs in February 2013, who provided YANTE with some statistics on domestic violence and school drop-outs, explaining that before taking any actions on the legal level or else, they would need exact statistics about street-children / child-labourers including the exact circumstances that forced those children into labour.
The rehearsals of “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps” started as planned on the February 15th 2013 in Tammoun, where 75 children joined the rehearsals. The fact that so many young girls joined the rehearsals on that day was a remarkable progress and great feedback for the I CAN MOVE admin and artistic teams.
Rehearsals in Ramallah started on the February 17th 2013. Due to some difficulties with the rehearsal space and the subsequent changes in location some of the children of the
Friends School sadly had to drop out. Additionally, the original plan of having two groups, one rehearsing on Mondays and Wednesdays and the other rehearsing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, was difficult to maintain as some children were really happy about the opportunity and ended up joining on all four days, while others joined for three days. Then there were those children who were committed to other extra-curricular activities on one of the days of each pair, hence ended up joining Mondays and Thursdays or Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This inconsistency led to a delay in the rehearsing schedule. Accordingly, the delay had to be caught up during buffer time as well as an additional rehearsal session.
During the rehearsals of “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps” the community dance team worked with around 250 children aged 8 to 22 years old from communities in the West Bank: mainly Ramallah and Tammoun, with a few from Betounia, Deir Al-Sudan, Qalandia, Toulkarem, El-Bireh, and others. The selection of the target group was based on the belief of YANTE and its partners that any local culture weakens and degrades if limited to the privileged and the elite.
This performance was organised based on the belief that inequality is a process by which the victim is forced into a reduced level of participation in the public sphere. Since visibility is power, this performance utilized the stage of dance, allowing the marginalized to claim the spotlight. Street- Children are faced on daily basis with rejection and with reasons for pessimism. This performance tried to bring back to them a portion of their childhood by giving them a scenario to ponder about, in which they are the centre of the event as participants, not bystanders. Performances like this combine entertainment with social awareness against community-fragmenting stereotyping and practices, towards consolidation of the culture of peace and tolerance amongst Palestinians.
Many positive changes of attitude were observed among the participants. Some of the participants came from religious families. At the beginning of rehearsals they were sceptical of the project and the prospect of men dancing. Some were even undisciplined in the first two weeks of rehearsals. However starting week three, the I CAN MOVE team started observing a positive change of attitude on the part of many of those students.
Some of the participants from the private schools had a very negative attitude towards their fellow economically disadvantaged participants. It was only towards the end of week three that those students were observed interacting with their fellow participants on eye-level while working on a dance sequence. By the end of the project the trainers observed a strong consolidation of participants.
Some of the street-children / child-labourers were observed to act very aggressively when dealing with fellow street-children / child- labourers. The aggression seemed like the “common language” those children spoke amongst each other. Through close mentorship and lots of dedication on the part of the team toward those participants, positive changes in attitude could be achieved. Violence was reduced and some of the older participating children softened in their presence. They also became more invested during rehearsals.
Younger street-children / child-labourers were having difficulties focusing and were observed to constantly twitch and fidget during the first week of rehearsals. These are considered symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Starting week three, clear improvements were observed in some of those children. Some even stopped showing any of the symptoms by the time they got on stage in week five.
Many of the parents of the children from private schools also reported positive changes in behaviour of their children. Some parents reported that their children were more focused at home. In other cases, teachers reported an improvement in school grades amongst the children.
These are only a few examples of the changes the team witnessed within the individual participants and the groups in general.
To increase exposure to the event and hence to the awareness surrounding the issues of child-labour, it was important for the I CAN MOVE team to reach out to a wider scope of society. Accordingly private and public schools were invited to watch the performance.
A special cooperation was also created with the UNRWA, were firstly future cooperation was discussed, and secondly the headquarters recommended to all of its schools to organise a school activity day/school trip to watch the performance and discuss it within the school. Three UNRWA schools joined us to watch the performance.
Similarly, private schools were invited to watch the performance. Additionally, the Total Communication School Palestine Red Crescent Society for deaf and mute children joined the performance to watch their fellow deaf and mute participants dancing on stage.
Ma’an Center for Development also organised for a bus of school children from Jerusalem to join one of the performances.
In line with YANTE’s policies and the previous performances, all performances were presented to the public pro-bono.
The premiere of the performance “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps” celebrated the successful commencement of the first year of training for the YANTE trainees who were invited on stage for an applause of recognition, to the immense amount of hours and efforts they invested not only in the performance and campaign targeting street-children / child- labourers, but also in their individual training and growth.
Working in the community often presents challenges because it means working with humans, i.e. individuals who differ in their needs, preferences, opinions, values, and habits. I CAN MOVE strives to accompany the various participants and society members in their individual journey, as they negotiate their space amongst and within their surroundings. We aspire to take the participants and their family members on a journey in which they recognize their similarities by acknowledging common basic needs, shared by all.
One of the first challenges arose on the second day of rehearsals in Tammoun. As the artistic director, Nadia Arouri was standing in the parking lot of the Tammoun municipality, a group of five to six young Hamas members attempted to enter the rehearsal with camera’s / phones in their hands. As Nadia Arouri stood in their way and asked them how she could help them, one of the Hamas men pushed her down to the ground and rushed towards the hall. He attempted to film the rehearsals through the door and the window as the members of the Youth Institution for Young Boys and Girls Tammoun tried to get the situation under control and ordered the Hamas members off of the municipal grounds.
That evening, the Hamas member launched a defamation campaign against the I CAN MOVE programme on Facebook and in the town of Tammoun. The campaign threatened the I CAN MOVE team publicly. The campaign was shut down within less than 12 hours, thanks to members of the Youth Institution for Young Boys and Girls Tammoun who stood up within their town, as well as the Governor of Toubas, Mr. Marwan Toubassi, who promptly intervened for the protection of individual freedom and plurality.
The I CAN MOVE team would especially like to thank Amjad Bani Odeh (coordinator of the Youth Intitution for Young Boys and Girls in Tammoun) for his relentless efforts since 2011.
Street-children / Child-labourers and their families are alienated as a social group. When a group is out-casted by the rest of society, it is self-evident that mistrust would prevail amongst them. Hence, the street-children / child-labourers and their parents time and time again questioned the motives of the I CAN MOVE programme and the aim behind the performance of “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps”. Some parents, especially fathers, asked the I CAN MOVE team for assurances that their children were not going to be arrested by the authorities due to our activities and the visibility that they were gaining.
As the programme progressed, the actions of the I CAN MOVE team spoke louder than the words about the values of YANTE and motives behind the performance.
Challenges were not only faced with the parents of the street-children / child-labourers, but also with a few parents of private school children. Although the registration form for the performance “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps”, which the parents filled out and signed did state quite clearly that the organisation was not responsible for providing food for the participants, neither during the rehearsals, nor the performances, some parents aggressively attacked the organisation, claiming it was the organisations responsibility when planning any activity to budget and be responsible for the food of the participants. It is morally still quite peculiar for the team members of I CAN MOVE, that although the entire programme was provided free of charge, some few parents demanded more instead of expressing their gratitude.
YANTE is aware that this behaviour is a result of the socio-political landscape of Palestine, especially Ramallah, which is a monetary donor attraction.
The overall number of audience for the performance tour of the production “The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps” was expected to exceed 7000 persons. However due to political, economic, social and religious reasons only the premiere plus three performances in Ramallah took place, making an audience of 2000 – 2200 persons only.
The performance in Jerusalem had to be cancelled. Despite efforts of the Representative Office of the Federal Republic of Germany to attain permits for the children and trainees the Israeli occupation forces denied permits for the trainees, rendering the implementation of the performance in Jerusalem impossible.
The performance in Tammoun had to be cancelled due to a major car accident in the Jordan valley leaving many dead and others injured. Many of those affected came from the Toubas and Tammoun area, hence out of courtesy to their families the performance was cancelled.
Additional performance in Ramallah and Bethlehem had to be cancelled due to a major strike announced by the Palestinian schools and universities in protest to the economic situation of the teachers.
The performance in Nablus was planned to take place at the amphitheatre of the Najah University. Three days prior the I CAN MOVE team was informed by the Najah University that due to religious considerations the performance could not take place at the amphitheatre and would be held at the indoor theatre. Unfortunately the performance had to be cancelled, because the indoor stage was too small and could not even accommodate 50 children, let alone 200 children.
Despite all these challenges and some setbacks, we are happy to have succeeded in opening up space for marginalised children and giving them the chance to claim their spot in society.

On February 10th, 90 Youth from 4 countries (India, Indonesia, Nepal and The Philippines) were able to take part in a YIN training on "What should you ask a company before accepting a job?".
The activity started with a practical exercise, in order to allow the Youth to discover the thematic, to draft their own questions, and to identify the challenges that this exercise represents. The activity was concluded by an exchange between the different countries, during which the Youth were able to put their questions in common and share their thoughts.
After this introduction, the participants were invited to exchange with DMCI, a member of the YIN Philippines. Christian Mendoza, Human Resources Specialist, presented a list of topics and questions, providing explanations and insights on each one of them. More than discovering question options that could be determinant in their job search, the Youth could also understand the importance of asking them and that they have the right to ask several of them: "You are not picky, you just want to be knowledgeable". The Youth then exchanged with the HR Specialist, and questioned him. The Youth will now, know about the questions that should be asked to a company, to ensure that the job they are applying for is adapted to their expectations and need.
We are really grateful for the participation of DMCI and the support they provided to the Youth on this occasion!

ACU Staff Gives Back
ACU is committed to supporting local communities. We believe that supporting the place people call home is just as important as ensuring our members have the best rates and financial services. We’re hard-working, honest, and, above all, fiercely loyal to our members — and we encourage our employees to join us in our mission! Recently, one of our team members, Cindy wanted to help make a difference in her local community, and the ACU staff helped her reach her goal.
Prior to taking a trip back home to Thailand, ACU Member Solutions representative Cindy P., discussed her intent to purchase and provide a clean water well with her department. The ACU Member Solutions team was on board to donate what they could, but Jennifer, Cindy’s Manager, had other plans. Jennifer collected donations from the entire ACU staff, surprising her with a grand total of $1,100.
“When I got to Thailand, my cousin had a list of people who did not have a well at their home. Each day I was in the village, my cousin and I would go to the homes receiving their new well to see the progress being made. If a water main can be found, it takes about a day for a well to be installed. Each and every family that was provided a well was so happy and grateful, you could hear it in their voices.” Cindy said of her trip.
On behalf of everyone at ACU, thank you Cindy for your kindness and generosity, and thanks to the ACU team for helping support Cindy and provide clean water to families in Thailand!

The development of gastro-intestinal symptoms and conditions commonly develop over many years and many people put up with symptoms until they can no longer cope.
The Gastro-intestinal system is made up of – the stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Its main function is the digestion of food, the absorption of nutrients and protection from toxins.
The Gastro-Intestinal system interconnects closely with the brain. Many people have associated symptoms such as brain fog, mental fatigue and poor memory. Most people think these symptoms are not connected to their gut.
Important causes or triggers may include: infections, imbalances of gut flora, nutrient imbalances, exposure to harmful chemicals and hidden adverse food reactions.

Enlightening for those that know a little on this subject, essential viewing for those that don’t..
I thought I knew a little on the subject of nutrition, gut disorders and genetics and their impact on mental wellbeing but was pleased to learn that I didn’t: there were lots of fascinating facts presented in Food, Mood and Mental Wellbeing that I was not aware of which made for really interesting viewing.
It was also great to consolidate my understanding of the topics covered and the DVD helped to clarify some of the more complex aspects for me. Whilst it was enlightening viewing for me, I feel it is essential viewing for those that are not familiar with these topics and how they relate to their health.
I plan to share this DVD with a family member who suffers from IBS (and a lack of information about IBS and gut health generally) and also friends who are new parents as I feel that understanding these topics is increasingly important to the care and upbringing of children.
Well done to Dr Rabinov and Dr Furness for getting this information out there!.
Great seminars and workshops! I have now been to the past 3 Your Gut Feelings seminars and they have all been fantastic. My favorite seminar was the Food, Mood & Mental Wellbeing seminar at the Alfred Hospital. All the speakers were fantastic, especially Dr. Rabinov. It’s so obvious he has so much passion and energy for educating people about nutrition and healthy living.
Dr. Denise Furness was also an incrediblespeaker who shared so much cutting information on genetics. I looking forward to attending the next seminar, I just hope it’s over two days as there was so much to take in…
Dr Rabinov is an inspirational and compassionate educator with many years of wisdom and experience to share.
As a colleague of his I have been involved a small part of the organisation of some of his seminars and am aware of the attention to detail he gives to each. Dr. Rabinov’s motivation to share a good health message is inspirational.
The delivery of the subject content is measured, and presented in a very friendly and human approach

Today, we wanted to feature one of our favorite homes to build to date, The Chateau de Tuscany! Not only was the design process a lot of fun but building alongside The Espinosa’s was a treat. We truly feel blessed with some of the best homeowners! The homebuilding process is full of exciting and emotional moments, and we are so grateful that we have homebuyers who turn into trusted friends along the way like these!
Although we worked with the Espinosa’s continuously throughout the homebuilding process, we followed up with them a few months after closing to check in and ask a few questions about their stunning new home!!
What are some of your favorite things about your new home?
Can I say everything?! I truly love every single detail of my home.
The first thing I LOVE about my new home is the family room. It is so open and has so many windows that let in so much natural light. The bricked walls are a plus too! My second favorite thing is my laundry room! It is the place that I spend the most time in (LOL)! Every detail in that room from the tile to the cabinet color is so fun yet soothing. My doggies love their house too! My third favorite thing is my primary bathroom. Every time I walk in, I feel like I have been whisked away to a luxurious resort! The CHANDELIER, tile, and tub are amazing. I also never thought I would be so excited about a closet! Another favorite ours is the patio! It looks so light and airy every time we walk out there. The Hale Navy ceiling and ice white marble flooring complement each other very well. I can’t wait for summer to arrive!
I almost forgot to mention our pantry/Butler’s Pantry wall!! Another one of our favorite details.
Best memory of building your new home?
I would have to say the best memory of building our new home has to be the design process! Picking out the different tiles was so much fun. The entire Magnolia Homes team was so much help. I had so many ideas and they just let me have fun with it! They were great to work with and always made me feel at ease when things got a little crazy!
Best memory since moving into your new home?
I would have to say that the best memory since moving in was having our children, grandchildren, and friends all over at Thanksgiving. It was all that I had imagined during the building process. I would picture our girls making new traditions in our new home and grandbabies running around the house while we sat around the fireplace in the living room taking it all in. It was perfect!!! Just how I had pictured it!!
Feature you get the most compliments on?
We get so many compliments on our lighting!! I do have to say it is pretty amazing. I sometimes walk into our house thinking is this really mine?!
Advice for those thinking of building or maybe already in the home building process?
If I had any advice for those building their home, it would be to make sure your own home is a reflection of you! Make it your own. Be honest and communicate effectively with your New Home Specialist about what you desire your home to be! Our New Home Specialist was amazing to work with during the early stages! She was so patient with us. We had quite a few modifications and questions and she was so knowledgeable. I have always heard horror stories while building a home. Our experience was the opposite! The Magnolia Homes team was wonderful to work with. They were all very helpful and we never felt alone throughout the building process.
We are so grateful for these homeowners and are wishing them nothing but many, many happy years in their Magnolia Home!

It is a relatively small cat species but also a really ferocious one. While it shares a habitat with bears, cougars and bears have a tendency to go away each other alone. This is an occasion where two apex predators might co-inhabit an area, simply going about their enterprise individually. It will subdue its prey by rolling rapidly until it drowns or falls unconscious. ) in hunting and fishing; some folks even enlist such non-predatory beasts, like horses, camels, and elephants in getting approaches to prey. It is pretty clear that predators tend to decrease the survival and fecundity of their prey, however on a better stage of group, populations of predator and prey species also work together. It is obvious that predators depend on prey for survival, and that is reflected in predator populations being affected by changes in prey populations.
It’s a filter-feeding animal, which means that it’ll often feed on a larger scale by catching a great deal of smaller animals, corresponding to smaller fish and plankton, by keeping its mouth open when slowly transferring around.

It appears iPhone XS and XS Max have some LTE and WiFi issues. I put them to the test and talk about my experience with this problem. It seems it may be affecting Verizon, Sprint and other CDMA users more due to the move from Qualcomm to Intel for the internal cellular modems. While Apple has had issues with reception in the past, I believe we will see this resolved with a future software update.

Absentee voting allows voters who cannot come to polling places to cast their ballots. A variety of circumstances, including residency abroad, illness, travel or military service, can prevent voters from coming to the polls on Election Day. Absentee ballots permit registered voters to mail in their votes. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, a federal law, governs absentee voting in presidential elections. Absentee voting rules for all other elections are set by the states, and vary. In Oregon, all elections are conducted by mail, but voters have the option of voting in person at county polling stations.
Blue state is a term used to refer to a U.S. state where the majority of voters usually support Democratic candidates and causes.
In presidential election years, after state primaries and caucuses have concluded, the political parties gather to select a presidential nominee — usually the candidate who secured the support of the most convention delegates, based on victories in primary elections. The presidential nominee usually chooses a running mate to be the candidate for vice president, but the presidential nominee can throw open the vice presidential selection process to the convention delegates without making a recommendation.
The Donkey represents the Democratic Party. Presidential candidate Andrew Jackson was the first Democrat to be associated with the donkey symbol. However, the most lasting impression came from the cartoons of Thomas Nast, which pictured the Democratic Party as a donkey, an animal considered stubborn. The Democratic Party, demonstrating a sense of humor, accepted the animal as its unofficial symbol, observing that the donkey and the Democratic Party share many fine qualities, such as not giving up easily. They have used various donkey designs on publications over the years.
The Elephant represents the Republican Party. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast created both images for the publication Harper’s Weekly in 1874. One of his cartoons depicted a marauding elephant to represent the “Republican vote.” Republicans quickly embraced the symbol as their party’s own and use the design widely. Over the years, the donkey and the elephant have become the accepted symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties.
The United States relies on a complex federal system of government, where the national government is central; but where state and local governments also exercise authority over matters that are not reserved for the federal government. State and local governments have varying degrees of independence in how they organize elections within their jurisdictions, but they a hold frequent, decisive, and well-administered elections.
Once the primary elections or conventions conclude, the general election is held to determine who will be elected to hold office. In the general election, voters make the final determination from among the party candidates listed on the ballot. The general election ballot may also include independent candidates (those not affiliated with a major political party) who gain access to the ballot by submitting a specified number of petition signatures, rather than by the traditional primary method. Furthermore, in some states, the ballot may include a place to “write in” the names of candidates who were neither nominated by the parties nor qualified by petition. Such candidates may be described as “self-nominated” and they win election to public office from time to time.
Used as a metaphor for an election campaign, “horse race” conveys the feeling of excitement that people experience when watching a sporting event. The term also refers to media coverage of campaigns, which frequently emphasizes the candidates’ standings in public-opinion polls — as if they were horses in a race — instead of the candidates’ stands on the issues.
Candidates and their supporters have been quick to adopt the Internet as a campaign tool. It has proved to be an effective and efficient way to solicit funds from potential supporters and to promote one’s policies and experience. Campaign organizations now maintain their own blogs. The bloggers on these sites are campaign staffers paid to write about the statements and activities of their particular candidates. Meanwhile, thousands of independent bloggers write commentaries in support of their favorite candidates and engage in debate with other bloggers who oppose them.
The name John is a Biblical baby name. In Biblical the meaning of the name John is: the grace or mercy of the Lord. “John” is also the first name of 4 presidents of the United States: John Adams (2nd president, term of office: 1797-1801); John Quincy Adams (6th president, term of office: 1825-1829); John Tyler (10th president, term of office: 1841-1845); and John Fitzgerald Kennedy (35th president, term of office: 1961-1963).
John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963), the youngest man elected to the office. On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, JFK he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, becoming also the youngest President to die. President John F. Kennedy famously suggested the American people: “Ask what you can do for your country.”
A wide variety of voting devices is available in the United States, and the landscape of voting technologies is continuously changing. Some jurisdictions still use “lever” machines, on which voters turn a small lever next to the names of the candidates they prefer or the side of an issue they support.
An election for seats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that occurs during a presidential term of office — that is, two years into the four-year presidential term. The results are sometimes interpreted as a popular referendum on that president’s performance for the first two years of his term. Midterm elections determine some members of the U.S. Senate and all members of the House of Representatives, as well as many state and local officials.
Advertisements that try to persuade voters to vote for one candidate by making the opponent look bad, by attacking either the opponent’s character or record on the issues.
In addition to federal, state, and local elections held in even-numbered years, some states and local jurisdictions hold “off-year” elections in odd-numbered years. Many jurisdictions, also, provide for special elections, which can be scheduled at any time to serve a specific purpose, such as filling an unexpected vacancy in an elected office.
A state-level election in which voters choose a candidate affiliated with a political party to run against a candidate who is affiliated with another political party in a later, general election. A primary may be either “open” — allowing any registered voter in a state to vote for a candidate to represent a political party, or “closed” — allowing only registered voters who belong to a particular political party to vote for a candidate from that party.
Each federal elected office has different requirements, laid out in Articles I and II of the U.S. Constitution. A candidate for president, for example, must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. A vice president must meet the same qualifications. Under the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the vice president cannot be from the same state as the president.
Candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives must be at least 25 years old, have been U.S. citizens for seven years and be legal residents of the state they seek to represent in Congress. U.S. Senate candidates must be at least 30, have been a U.S. citizen for nine years, and be legal residents of the state they wish to represent. Those seeking state or local office must meet requirements established by those jurisdictions.
Red state refers to a U.S. state where the majority of voters usually support Republican candidates and causes.
Widespread use of the phrase “Super Tuesday” dates from 1988, when a group of Southern states banded together to hold the first large and effective regional group of primaries in order to boost the importance of Southern states in the presidential nomination process and lessen the impact of early votes in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Today, the meaning of the phrase is blurred, a reflection of the fact that, during the presidential primary season, there may be several groups of state primaries in various regions falling on one or more Tuesdays. These groupings are important because the weight of such a large, simultaneous vote tends to make or break would-be presidential nominees because so many convention delegates are selected at once. In 2012, Super Tuesday is March 6 but, because some states have moved their primaries to earlier dates, it will be less “super” than in past elections.
Republicans and Democrats have dominated electoral politics since the 1860s. This unrivaled record of the same two parties continuously monopolizing a nation’s electoral politics reflects structural aspects of the American political system as well as special features of the parties.
Undervote occurs when the number of choices selected by a voter in a contest is less than the maximum number allowed for that contest or when no selection is made for a single choice contest.
Voting is a fundamental right and responsibility of U.S. citizens — the right to have a say in how they are governed and the responsibility to be informed about candidates and issues when they go to the polls.
Jeannette Rankin, a Republican of Montana, took her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 2, 1916, as the first woman elected to Congress — even before the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 gave all American women the right to vote in elections.
Rankin maintained that women’s talents and expertise were needed to build better societies. “Men and women are like right and left hands; it doesn’t make sense not to use both,” she said.
In 1932, Hattie Caraway, initially appointed to fill her late husband’s seat, became the first woman elected to the Senate in her own right, representing Arkansas. Nicknamed “silent Hattie” for the rarity of her public speeches, Caraway took her responsibilities seriously and built a reputation for integrity.
Margaret Chase Smith represented Maine first in the U.S. House of Representatives and then in the U.S. Senate — the first woman to serve in both chambers of Congress. In 1964, Republican Smith became the first woman considered for the presidential nomination at a national convention; she lost to Barry Goldwater.
A wide variety of voting devices is available in the United States, and the landscape of voting technologies is continuously changing. Today, there are very few places where voting takes place with handheld paper ballots marked with an “X” next to a candidate’s name, as was done in the past, but many computerized systems still depend on paper ballots on which circles are filled in or lines connected. These ballots are then scanned mechanically to have the votes recorded; the equipment is known as an optical scan system.
Elections occur in every even-numbered year for some federal and most state and local government offices in the United States. Some states and local jurisdictions hold elections in odd-numbered years.
Thus, every four years, Americans elect a president and vice president. Every two years, Americans elect all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and approximately one-third of the 100 members of the U.S. Senate. Senators serve staggered terms of six years each.
The next U.S. Presidential election is in 2016.
John Zogby, founder of the “Zogby Poll” and the Zogby companies, is an internationally respected American pollster, opinion leader and best-selling author. His polling incorporates both phone-based polling and interactive, internet-based polling. John Zogby’s Poll called the 1996 presidential election with pinpoint accuracy. And he did it again in the following two elections. His presidential polling remains among the most accurate through five elections. He has served as an on-air election analyst for NBC News, BBC, CBC, ABC (Australia), and has been featured by the Foreign Press Center in Washington every election night since 1998.

FIELD HOCKEY: Bulldogs look to rebound after overtime loss to Lafayette
Yale dropped its first away match of the season to Lafayette last Friday, falling 2–1 in overtime. The Elis will host Colgate Saturday at 1 p.m.
Lukas Flippo, Photo Editor
The Yale field hockey team conceded its second game of the season in a 2–1 overtime loss to Lafayette last Friday.
After splitting their opening homestand against Merrimack and Fairfield, the Bulldogs took to the road for an evening contest with Lafayette. Although Yale was outshot 8–0 in the first half, not one Leopard had managed to net a goal past sophomore goaltender Luanna Summer ’24. Shortly after the third-period whistle, Lafayette grabbed the lead. But Yale evened the score half a minute later, and both teams entered overtime tied 1–1. Lafayette was ultimately able to capitalize on a recovered play to clinch the home victory.
“It was fun playing against such a strong opponent,” midfielder and California native Iliana Cabral ’22 said. “Lafayette gave us the chance to utilize the team’s speed and endurance.”
While Lafeyette generated more scoring chances throughout the first two periods with eight shots and seven penalty corners, Yale’s robust defense held the home team scoreless in the first half. By halftime, Summer had saved four of the Leopards’ shot attempts.
Despite a quiet first half, Lafayette came out of the gates hot in the third period. Midfielder Ariel Schumacher opened the scoring with a tipper assisted by a reverse sweep pass. Nevertheless, the Bulldogs’ determination did not waver. Yale forward Lena Ansari ’24 bagged her second goal of the season after knocking in a rebound.
“The defensive penalty corner unit did a fantastic job, as did Lu[anna Summer],” Yale field hockey head coach Pam Stuper told Yale Athletics following the game. “It was also huge for us that, 30 seconds after Lafayette scored, we went down and answered.”
The remainder of regulation time proceeded in a similar fashion to the first half — the Leopards continued to outshoot the Bulldogs and gained four more penalty corner chances.
In overtime, Yale was unable to maintain consistent momentum as the Bulldogs’ first two possessions resulted in turnovers. By the eight-minute mark, Lafayette had gained control of the ball, and at 8:31 in the first overtime, midfielder and defender Lineke Spaans delivered the game-winning golden goal with a low shot into the net.
Before the match with Lafayette, Yale captain and midfielder Imogen Davies ’22 told the News that Yale was looking to adjust its mindset on offense.
“[We want to be] more direct in terms of going towards the goal, so creating more chances just by being a little bit more aggressive,” Davies said.
Despite Yale’s push to generate more opportunities at the net, the Bulldogs were ultimately outshot 16–3. Yet, they finished the game down by just a single goal.
According to Stuper, Friday night’s showing fully demonstrated a tread in the right direction for the team.
“We had a great week of practice, and the players applied what we trained,” Stuper said. “We took a good step from our [Fairfield] game.”
Yale will face Colgate at Johnson Field this Saturday at 1 p.m.

YDNews| 04:30 pm|“Action against private schools“
Punjab: The Education department of Punjab has started taking strict action against the private schools asking for fees amid the lockdown.
“Education Minister of Punjab, Vijay Inder Singla taken action against private schools in all Punjab, asking for fee amid lockdown”
The Education Minister of Punjab, Vijay Inder Singla reportedly said, “Despite repeated instructions, there were reports of some schools asking for a fee. Now, we have initiated strict actions against La Foundation School, Sangrur; DAV Public School, Bhupindra Road, Patiala; Delhi Public School, Ludhiana; Bhupindra International Public School, Patiala; and Mount Litera Zee School, Faridkot.”
Further, he informed that they had sent a show-cause notice to the schools. And asked them to reply within seven days.
In case of an unsatisfactory reply, the affiliation of the schools would be canceled.
Earlier, the state government has given clear instructions to the schools not to ask for a fee during the lockdown period. However, the reports say that some private schools have been sending messages to the students’ parents to submit the school fee.
On March 23, the education department reportedly gave orders to the private schools of Punjab to reschedule the admissions for the 2020-21 session.
Also, the private schools were instructed to provide a time period of 30 days to parents for the submission of the fee once the situation gets normal.
Other than this, the schools were directed not to charge fine on the late fee submissions.
He also said that in case of further complaints against any school, these would be locked through District Magistrate and FIRs registered.

When decorating the flat, we start with painting the walls, choosing the floor and furniture. Then comes the time to choose accessories and accessories. Check what you can use and how to apply it.
Furniture accessories – what and how to choose them?
Sticks, towel hooks, soap dishes, brackets for toothbrushes, a toilet paper holder, etc. emphasize the bathroom decor. Bathroom with a clean, expressive drawing will become even more sterile when you choose accessories made of chrome and glass. In turn, wooden, wicker and twine additions will insulate it and make it seem more cozy.
Living room accessories
In the living room you can radically change the appearance of furniture by exchanging knobs and handles. These small details will give them a very modern look or, on the contrary, old-fashioned. Similarly, changing the legs in a dresser or cabinet can bring an unexpected effect. It is also worth looking at the casings for pots or frames for photographs. They also give style. If we harmonize them (we choose the same color or material), we get the impression of harmony, when we decide on different colors and textures, the interior will take on a crazier character.
There are a lot of them in this room. We need different utensils, shelves and railings. If, in the case of small appliances, you choose appliances from one design line – you will put order into the interior. The other additions are also worth choosing so that they fit together: if we decide on wood, then it should be wooden, and if it is for metal, then let’s look for such.
Accessories for a child’s room
In children’s rooms you need accessories to store a lot of necessary things: toys, books, drawing accessories, and collections. It is worth to mount on the walls handles, hangers, because some items can be stored in bags or bags that will hang on various hangers. Also useful are various baskets, boxes, plastic containers. It is better to choose light, then you can set them one on top of the other and thus save space. In the case of babies who learn about the world, security accessories are important, such as contact plugs, drawer locks, windows and doors, sharps protectors, etc.
Accessories for the hall
Hangers, shelves, chests are needed to use the maximum of space that is usually missing in the hall. The cabinets should be flat and high. Hangers can be mounted not only on the walls, but also on the doors or sides of the cabinets. In the hall, mirrors, stands for umbrellas and stools are also necessary. You will also find useful shoes, shoe cleaning accessories, and a shoehorn.

In a significant step towards strengthening industry-academia relations, Yeser Chemical Industries recently hosted students and faculty from Guangdong University of Technology for an educational tour of our state-of-the-art production facility in Dongguan.
Led by Professor Sun Ming, the delegation was warmly welcomed by Yeser’s Chairman, Mr. Yu Peirong, and other key personnel. The students were given an in-depth tour of our largest domestic production unit for Cocamide DEA(CDEA), a cornerstone of our green surfactants.
A Special Connection
Our Chairman, Mr. Yu Peirong, is not just a business leader but also an academician at heart. Before founding Yeser Chemical Industries, he served as a senior lecturer at Guangdong University of Technology. This deep-rooted connection has been the cornerstone of our ongoing collaboration and daily cooperation with the university.
Our Head of R&D, Mr. Jun Xie, presented an insightful session on Yeser’s history, corporate culture, and technological advancements. The students had the opportunity to compare their academic knowledge with real-world industrial practices, enriching their understanding of the subject matter.
A highlight of the visit was a technical presentation on our new generation flagship product, Cocamide Methyl MEA(CMMEA). This session provided the students with a comprehensive understanding of the product’s synthesis process and applications, equipping them with valuable insights for their future careers.
The event concluded with an interactive feedback session, where students enthusiastically shared their experiences and posed questions about career opportunities in the chemical industry.
This educational tour marks a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Guangdong University of Technology. Both parties expressed their commitment to expanding this partnership, providing more practical platforms for students and jointly fostering the next generation of chemical engineers.
We at Yeser Chemicals are committed to contributing to educational initiatives that bridge the gap between academia and industry. We look forward to more such enriching collaborations in the future.

Masked Aadhaar Card Download:-
Opening a bank account, applying for a credit card, booking a trip, etc. all include the need for an Aadhar card. Every platform has it because of its own identifying traits. However, the government wants to grant some privacy to the Aadhar holder while it is in use in order to increase security. By masking Aadhar, it is possible to hide particular characters and just display specific data. We will just cover Masked Aadhar and all pertinent facts in the article we are writing today. We will also describe how to download a Masked Aadhar Card.
Masked Aadhaar Card Download
The government issued the advisory on May 27, 2022, asking people to send only their masked versions of their Aadhaar cards rather than photocopies of their original Aadhaar cards. Due to the privacy concern associated with the original Aadhar card, they produced the Masked Aadhar. The existence of this card is still not widely known.
The Masked Aadhar Card’s explanation is provided on the official website as follows: The Mask Aadhaar option allows you to mask your Aadhaar number in your downloaded e-Aadhaar. Masked Aadhaar number implies replacing of first 8 digits of the Aadhaar number with some characters like “XXXX-XXXX” while only the last 4 digits of the Aadhaar Number are visible.
|Article Name||Masked Aadhaar Card|
|Advisory Launch date||27 May 2022|
|Beneficiary||Only Aadhar Card Holders|
Masked Aadhaar Card Objectives
Enhancing security and privacy for cardholders is the main goal of masked Aadhaar. Users may share their masked Aadhaar with other platforms without worrying about misuse thanks to the availability of a mask for Aadhaar. Individuals do not have to be concerned about disclosing their Aadhar number since this Masked Aadhar may be used as a legal document on any site that supports it.
Masked Aadhaar Benefits
- The government is making an effort to integrate electoral cards with Aadhar since it is believed that the process of identifying people through it is so crucial in the context of the digital era. Every day, Aadhar shows increasing levels of sensitivity.
- As a result, it became necessary to hide all of the card’s information or mask the Aadhar number. One of the most notable benefits of this method is that masking directly improves the security and privacy of the user.
- We informed the users that using the original copies of the photostat of the original copy would result in us disclosing their Aadhaar numbers, which could put them in danger. The final four digits on an Aadhar card are the only ones seen when the card is masked, which hides the other numbers.
- The UIDAI advises using the Aadhaar card carefully. The document issues a warning against using Aadhaar for promotional or illegal activity.
Download Masked Aadhaar Card Through Aadhar
To Masked Aadhaar Card Download follow the steps given below:-
- First, visit the Official Website i.e. myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
- A page will open on your screen.
- Here click on the Login option.
- Now, enter the Aadhaar number, Captcha, and click on Send OTP.
- After that, enter the received OTP on the Aadhaar registered mobile number.
- Then click on Login.
- After login, click on Download Aadhaar.
- Click on the “Do you want a masked Aadhaar?” option.
- Finally, click on Download.
- Click on the downloaded file and enter the password.
- Password is the first four letters of your name as per Aadhaar in CAPITAL letters and year of birth in YYYY format.

The upcoming holiday season, from Halloween until the new year, is often considered the most wonderful time of the year. It can also be the most stressful.
For those with cancer and their loved ones, it can be a struggle to get in the “holiday spirit” while going through the treatments, side effects, and battle with cancer. If someone in your life is fighting cancer, we have a few tips on how you can help make their holiday season a little brighter.
Gift Ideas for Those With Cancer
If you are interested in giving a gift that can bring some joy to a loved one in your life with cancer, consider making up a holiday basket with some valuable items:
- Peppermint candies for nausea
- Unscented, high-quality moisturizing cream/lotion for dry skin
- Warm socks, hats, gloves, blankets
- Crossword puzzles, sudoku books, and adult coloring books
- DVDs or gift cards to entertainment subscription services
- Recovery items to help with resting, like tea, earplugs, and a sleep mask
Often during treatment, a cancer patient and their caregivers are traveling and are away from home for long hours, making it difficult to eat in a timely manner. Consider coordinating or bringing healthy meals that the whole household can enjoy. If you live out of state, look into local delivery services for nutritional meals. Gift cards to favorite restaurants are another helpful contribution.
Some unexpected gift-giving ideas include a heartfelt, handmade craft such as a card or art piece. If there are any books or words that have inspired and encouraged you during difficult times, share how they helped and what they mean to you.
There are a few gifts that should probably be avoided. Anything with a synthetic perfume, such as candles or lotions, could potentially cause nausea. Many cancer patients have special dietary restrictions while undergoing treatment, and sweets like candies and cookies may not be allowed. Another common present to steer clear of is plants and flowers. They can contain fungal spores that could put your loved one at risk for infection.
Ways to Help this Holiday Season
Not every present has to be a tangible gift. Another way to give support can include helping those with cancer and their caregivers mark items off their to-do lists. You could volunteer to run their errands, such as grocery shopping, picking up prescriptions, and other tasks outside of the home. Additionally, you could help them with household chores like laundry, vacuuming, or lawn maintenance.
There are also a few tasks that are particular to the holidays. Consider offering to help mail their holiday cards this year by addressing and stamping physical cards or designing and ordering cards online. Decorating is another holiday task where you can step in and provide assistance. Also, offering to shop and wrap gifts for a cancer patient can help alleviate stress.
Creating Memories with Loved Ones
Perhaps the greatest gift of all is to be present. Give your time and support by being there by phone, text, video, or in person for both those with cancer and their caregivers. Being the holiday season, you may think that mentioning cancer could bring down their spirits, but chances are they are thinking about cancer daily, so don’t be afraid to talk about it. Lend your shoulder and ear so they can talk, cry, be angry, or whatever they may be feeling.
If you are available for logistical support, you could help with driving and spending time with someone with cancer while they are receiving treatment. You can spend that time playing games and reconnecting while giving their usual caregiver a brief respite.
Also, consider ways to adapt or adjust your plans if you have traditional festivities that a cancer patient normally participates in. For example, if you have an annual Holiday party, you could make it a pajama party. This way, everyone is comfortable and relaxed. And for entertainment, watch everyone’s favorite holiday movies.
Most importantly, send your love and support virtually if you are sick or have been around someone sick. Unhealthy germs are unwanted gifts for cancer patients.
During the holidays, give your loved one with cancer the opportunity to join in with the merriments so you can all have a joyous and bright season.

We are surrounded by advice to hustle hustle hustle, build an empire and “go big or go home.” In this episode, I present an alternative: small and successful. Watch the video or scroll down for the text version. Highlights
- The shortest real estate career in history (mine)
- The pyramid of performance
- An argument for embracing small and successful
In 1993, my then-husband owned a small real estate company.
I went to work for him as his office manager. I answered the phone, helped our Realtors with paperwork and advertisements and operated our only computer. (The fax machine was far more popular than the space-age mysterious thing on my desk.)
At one point I even got a real estate licence (but never sold a single home – which is a story for another time.)
Mostly what I got was an insider’s look into the business of real estate and I noticed a pattern there that holds true today.
A common saying at the time (and I would guess still gets tossed about today) is that
“90% of the money flows to the top 5% of Realtors.”
Every week, we would get an updated listing, ranking all the Realtors on the local real estate board – by sales.
The pyramid of performance
Top: the super successful
In a board of 1,000 Realtors, the top 5% would be comprised of 50 names. These are the “Top Producers” – the people who were apparently raking in 90% of the commissions.
The very tip of the pyramid – the top 10 – rarely changed. You’d see mostly the same names year after year – they’d change in rank (#1 last week, #4 this week) – but only occasionally would a new name appear and stick.
These were the local celebrities – everyone in the business knew their names.
Most of the people who made it to the top were well established, hard workers, very good at their job and very good at building relationships.
Then you have the opposite.
Bottom: coming in and leaving
These would be the brand new people – who may or may not make it – and the ones on their way out. (And me on both counts!)
Lots of people never made it past the bottom.
They discovered that they weren’t cut out for a commission-only sales job. Or they didn’t have the financial resources to sustain them through the early part of their career (each Realtor was essentially in a self-employed business: lots of money going out in expenses, very little coming in.)
Some of them jumped onto real estate because they saw the large commission cheques and figured this was an easy way to “get rich quick.” These ones tended to jump out just as quickly as they jumped in!
Middle: everyone else
The middle was a mixed bag.
Strivers aiming for the top.
I worked with one of these for a couple of years. He was ambitious, hard-working and smart. And it took a long time, long hours, and a significant start up investment before he started gaining traction. He did finally make it to the very top (long after I left the business) – and the road was far from quick and easy.
Posers trying to jump the queue.
These guys tried to buy their way to the top with money and a “fake it til you make it” strategy. They’d buy full page “best realtor in town” ads in newspaper, while the ink was still wet on their real estate license. Some of them survived, many of them gave up.
Strugglers treading water just above the bottom.
Working year after year and not making a lot of progress. Often missing key bits of education and perspective – unwilling to try something new or improve their skills – and also unwilling to quit.
Most of the people in the middle were simply making a good living without being too flashy about it. They were going about their business, year after year. Serving repeat customers, getting referrals.
My husband was one of them. His name consistently appeared in the bottom half of the rankings. (Which he didn’t follow or care about.)
He wasn’t particularly ambitious. He didn’t care for working in the evening or even on weekends. He spent as little as possible on advertising.
He sold just enough to bring home about 80 grand a year.
His low-profile approach was profitable. He kept his expenses low and built his business on personal relationships.
He brought home more money than our office striver – who out-sold him by a considerable margin, then spent a good chunk of that money on advertising expenses.
Nothing has changed
When I look around, I see the same pattern playing out.
A teeny tiny little group of people raking in zillions of dollars, being “celebrities” in their fields: celebrity life coaches, celebrity fitness trainers, celebrity nutritionists, celebrity counsellors…and in my field: a ton of celebrity business coaches and online marketers.
They have huge followings, a team to support them and money to spend on advertising.
Most of them also have longevity: they’ve been at this for YEARS, toiling away in obscurity until they became an “overnight success.”
They often implore people to follow their lead and to “go big or go home” (have you noticed that 7 figures is the new 6 figures?)
The most obnoxious of them disparage “lifestyle businesses” by saying things like: you don’t have a business – you just made yourself a job.
Because we see so much of this, it’s easy to think that this is “the only way” – but it’s not.
It looks like the only way because that’s all we see.
There are other options – we just don’t see them
With thousands of followers to boost their posts – and lots of money to pay for advertising – their messages are omnipresent.
Here’s what we don’t see.
For every one “celebrity” in their field, there are 1,000s of successful people – making a good living doing the thing that they do – that you’ve never heard of (and never will.)
Our dog groomer isn’t on social media. She also has a voicemail message that says she’s not taking on new clients. Booked solid.
I once had wellness practitioner hire me to set up a mailchimp list to contain her 4,000 client contact records! There was a problem setting it up: no website or social media to link it to. She had built her entire business through 1:1 personal connections.
When I look around my own city – Vancouver, BC, Canada – I see lots of coaches, marketing professionals, counsellors, wellness practitioners, freelancers – all quietly going about their businesses. They’re successful on a small scale.
We don’t hear about these businesses – because they’re low profile!
They’re all but invisible.
Just like me, today, broadcasting this encouraging message to an audience of one. 🙂
So…if you’re feeling sad or behind or not good enough – or just not motivated to hustle hustle hustle your way to the very tippy top of the pyramid – know that there is another way.
Go big or go home is only one option.
Small and successful is also a valid choice.

Blogging is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get on the internet. It’s also one of the most cost-effective. In short, all you need is a domain name, hosting and a quick install of WordPress and you are potentially on your way to starting a nice little hobby or side business for yourself. Still not sure if a blog is for you? Just check out the many benefits I’ve had since starting this blog back in 2007!
If you get a little lucky and put in the time and effort, you may end up creating a site that could make more money than your full-time job, and allow you to live the “laptop lifestyle”. While this dream is quite a dream for most people, finding success with blogging is definitely possible if you know what to do and look for.
Today we are going to break down a 10-step process for how to start your own blog, while also keeping the goal of making money with your site in mind. More specifically, these ten steps will be covering the foundation process and to make sure you have enough structure in place for long term success. While some of these points may seem basic, they are often overlooked and can lead to further disaster down the road when not set up correctly.
In addition to the many resources that can be found online, you can also check my latest blogging tips course on Udemy, which currently has over 10,000+ students and more than 100+ 5-star reviews. It’s definitely a great kick-start course to help you get your blog headed in the right direction within the next 30 days.
Figure out the point of your blog.
With over a billion active sites on the internet and more than 300 million of them being blogs, it’s safe to say that anything you were thinking about blogging about is probably already being covered. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still start a blog… it simply means you should be thinking about why you are going to create one. Questions to ask yourself are, why are you creating your site, who is your target audience, how do you plan to make money with it and how will you stand out from the crowd. Knowing the answers to these questions beforehand will allow for faster success as you develop your blog.
Create a persona
Starting a blog is easy, building a brand is not. To follow up on my previous point, with over a billion sites in the world today, you need to have a personal brand or persona for your site that helps it stand out from the crowd. Not only will associating a name and expertise with your site make it more personal, it will also grow your personal brand and reach in the process. If this is something you want to do as a real business and develop into something big, building out an established blog of your own is one of the best ways to do it.
Choose a domain name.
The domain name for your site is how people are going to find you online — it’s essentially real estate on the internet. Just like you have a home address that no one else has, domain names are the same. Once they are gone, they are usually gone for good.
This is why it’s heavily recommended to always try and register and secure your personal name as a domain name (preferably .com). There are likely several other people in the world with the same name as you, and if your name as a domain is still available, go grab it as soon as possible. If you currently have a brand or business name, you should register that as a domain name as well.
Pick a hosting provider.
One of the first things you will need to do to get online, is to setup a web hosting account. For first-time site owners, this might seem quite confusing. All you really need to know is a web host stores your site data online, making it easy for people around the world to access your content. To find a hosting solution, simply look up hosting reviews online to see what their customers say about them, then sign up for an account. Hosting usually costs less than $10 a month and some will even offer a domain name for free. When looking for a host, try to find one that also offers one-click WordPress installs.
Install a theme.
WordPress is the free software that is used to power the majority of blogs and sites on the internet today. As mentioned, most web hosts now offer the ability to install WordPress on hosting accounts for free. If you can learn how to use Microsoft Word, you should have no problems with WordPress.
One of the many perks of WordPress is not needing to touch any lines of code or programming to design your site. Instead, you can download and install WordPress themes. There are millions of themes to choose from, many of which are free. However, I personally use and recommend MyThemeShop as they have the best premium themes around.
Optimize your SEO.
SEO stands for search engine optimization and that is how your site will rank in the search results. SEO comes down to many different factors, but site content, structure and linking are three of the most effective factors of it.
Again, WordPress makes the process of SEO on your site quite simple. Refer to this list of SEO tips for beginners to learn more about ranking your site in Google.
Write out a list of articles.
With most of your site foundation now in place, it’s time to start thinking about the content you are going to create. One important thing to remember is that longer content is more effective than short content. Many site owners and bloggers get this wrong. They think going live with a new 500+ word article every day will bring them traffic and success, but it won’t. Instead focus on creating a few 1,000+ articles per month, then spending the necessary time to promote each of them effectively.
In reference to what type of content you should be creating for your site, go back to the questions asked at the beginning of this article. Know what your audience wants, and provide it to the in the best way possible. Always put content value and user experience first.
Create your first post.
The first post on your site is quite important and not one that should be taken lightly. Way too many bloggers will leave their first post as “Hello Word”, and not leave much content on it. Instead, delete this post and create a detailed 1,000+ word article that will provide value and act as a resource to your article. Even if only a handful of people are coming to your site when it’s soft-launched, you still want them to see something great. This first post should provide text, images, videos and shareable content such as infographics — all with the common goal of providing value and acting as the launchpad article for your site.
Create an editorial calendar.
If you are already having problems coming up with ideas for content for your site, you may be in trouble. However, remember how it was mentioned earlier that you don’t need to come out with a lot of content… but instead, just long form and great content. This will always be the case with online content.
For bloggers that have what seems like an endless amount of content ideas, setting up or writing out an editorial calendar is a great option. This will allow you to write out what content you want to go live with, and when. This will also help you come up with better ideas and a streaming flow of content so it comes out in the correct order. Along with content creation, make sure to also set up social promotions within your calendar as well.
Outreach and Promotion.
The last step in the foundation process is to make sure you focus on your outreach and promotion. It’s been mentioned several times now, but so many site owners and bloggers keep neglecting it. The success of your site will come down to the content you create and the promotion you put behind it. There is simply way too much content out there already, you need gain new backlinks and site mentions to stand above the crowd.
This can best be accomplished through organic SEO (going after long tail keywords), creating shareable content (like infographics) and contributing to other sites within your niche (through guest blogging).
Start Your Blog Today and Make Money Tomorrow
Yes, starting a blog is extremely cost-effective and easy, but actually making something out of it and earning a few dollars will take some work. Don’t look at the most successful bloggers in the world today and expect to see the same results overnight — or even within your first few months! This is a very competitive space and it takes a lot of time to compete and see growth.
Follow each of the ten steps listed above to build a solid foundation for your blog, which will allow it to continue to grow for many years to come.

On August 6, 2023, at 10 pm after the concert.
Medicine NIXI PAE (grandmother - Vine - tea) is a traditional infusion used by some tribes from the northwestern Amazon.
For the primal tribes, this plant is a sacred spiritual medicine that has the power to show us the truth about our existence. Provides strong cleansing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. It helps to see and perceive life from a new perspective. It restores contact with our emotions, thanks to which we can experience our relationships more authentically with ourselves and with others.
Traditionally, Huni Kuin ceremonies are attended by the entire community or family. This means that these ceremonies are often very numerous - up to 50 people.
The ceremony starts around 23:00 and ends at sunrise around 6-7 am. The ceremony will include Nixi Pae (grandmother - Vine - tea), Rapé - tobacco, and Sanaga eye drops.
The tea is served three times. After the first application, the Kayatibu group will share their songs. It's time to sit still and focus on your work and healing. After the second application, we are invited to open ourselves to the music and songs of Huni Kuin, use the rattles, and join the ceremony with our own song or dance. There is very strong energy in this part of the Ceremony. The third application is integration and opening up to the Family by sharing songs. In the Brazilian tradition, the Ceremony is encouraged to last as long as possible.
The "SSRI" antidepressants do not have a good relationship with medicine. Individuals on medications MUST inform us about the kind of medications they are on and their dosages.
The ceremony can be attended by both people who are part of the Green Circles Festival and people who will come only for this one night. You should bring comfortable, loose clothes, a sleeping bag, a mat and, if necessary, a pillow for lying down.
The price of the ceremony is PLN 900 (190 €). In order to reserve a place, it is necessary to make an advance payment of PLN 400 to the account specified in the Price List. Detailed information about the ceremony in the e-mail and telephone contact: +48660664754. Mariola Floreska.
Kayatibu Group from Jordao, Akr - Brazil. The Kayatibu Group was formed by several young indigenous people of Huni Kuin. In 2013, they moved from Aldeias, a village deep in the jungle, to the commune of Jordao, a small community in the heart of Akka. They intended to learn Portuguese, study, and get an education in order to be able to successfully fight for the rights of the natives. Defend yourself against those who invade their lands, cut down trees, and kill their people. In Jordao, they first encountered Ceremonies, musical instruments, and songs of medicine - the prayers of their ancestors. Currently, they give this music to the children who live there. They make sure that they have a chance to get to know their culture and keep it alive. As they travel through Europe, Kayatibu members intend to share their prayers, Nixi Pae ceremonies, songs and dances, and tribal body art.
