can you make me a
"frog with a strawberry on top of its head"?
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Zara Zephyr* who had an incredibly vivid imagination and an unquenchable fascination with a certain strawberry frog.
Found on Youtube
This strawberry frog was not just an ordinary frog but had a special ability to jump extra high and far, and wherever it landed, a strawberry plant would grow. Zara stumbled upon the creature on a Youtube video and became immediately enamored with its detail, colors, and ability to bring about strawberries.
She knew she had to have a replica of her own.
One day, Zara came across Wender Farms, a 3D printing service company that specialized in turning anyone's wildest dreams into physical objects. Zara knew that this was her chance to bring the strawberry frog she saw on the video to life. She contacted Wender Farms and spoke to the founder , who was excited about the project and saw the potential in Zara's request.
The team at Wender Farms went to work, and with their knowledge of advanced manufacturing and AI, they created a life-size, fully-functional, 3D printed, full-color replica of the strawberry frog. Zara was ecstatic when she received the finished product, it was exactly as she had imagined. She was so excited to show it off to her friends, and they were all amazed by its lifelike appearance.
Zara knew that this strawberry frog was special, and although we don't know what Zara name her frog we do know that together they went on many adventures, and everywhere her frog landed, he brought joy to many people. She was so grateful to Wender Farms for helping her bring her Youtube-inspired dream to life.
From that day on, Zara and her frog were inseparable, and every time someone saw them, they were reminded that with a little bit of imagination and a team of AI-Powered Craftsman like Wender Farms, anything is possible.
* If you haven't guessed so already, Zara Zephyr is a made-up name.

Jacques Chassaing has been called “the father of modern running shoes”, a man who has left an indelible mark on the world of both street and sports fashion. For over forty years, he has pushed for innovation and created designs that no one else could ever dream of, yet which combined form and function to perfection.
Now, in the pages of From Soul to Sole, written by Chassaing himself, you can read and see his journey for yourself. The book is filled with images collected over his legendary career, stories from famous athletes (among them Michael Jordan) who were fortunate enough to meet the man and wear his designs, and a deeper insight into his design philosophy and creative processes. It’s a truly fascinating look into the mind that shaped modern footwear as we know it.

During COVID-19, what can you do to highlight the changes and needs in our country and communities? Brian Bowen Smith got into his car to drive across America and document this unique time.
Reese Witherspoon was an early supporter of Brian Bowen Smith‘s series of socially-distanced portraits of diverse people across America during the COVID-19 quarantine. He has been traveling throughout our country in his 1958 Ford f100 taking thought-provoking and awe-inspiring photographs. Not only are these photos an incredible snapshot of this moment in our history but he is also donating all proceeds of the book he has created, Drivebys, to Feeding America!
From Brian Bowen Smith: “We have traveled over 11,000 miles documenting the “sign of our times” raising funds for @feedingamerica
“The Book” is available for presale NOW: “It is a coffee table book that captures the soul of American culture through the windows of my 1958 Ford F100.”
“What started out as taking a drive to snap a few photos, in my old girl “Pearl…” a classic 1958 Ford F100, has grown into a multi-faceted cross-country project of a lifetime. The journey implements the new-normal of Social Distancing while documenting the soul of American culture during the Covid-19 World Pandemic. At a time when a mandated quarantine plagues our beautiful country, this project encompasses the raw essence of the human condition, our sentimental traditions…and at its core, the heart of our people…from sea to shining sea.”
“Emotions are high, as everyone I have met throughout this journey has touched my heart. We have traveled 11,000 miles and documenting the “sign of our times” while doubling as a vehicle to raise funds for Feeding America.”
“Everyone I spoke to seemed to be in the same boat. They are scared and frustrated,” Smith said. “Most just want to get back to their normal life.”
“It definitely changed the way that I look at life now,” Smith said. “Who knows, maybe the world can be a better place when this is all over. Then again…maybe not. But I sure hope so.”

First off, I want to congratulate you on how...what's a good word...anxious you've made everyone by not revealing the newest character addition for A Storm of Swords. One question (no, I won't ask who it is as much as I want to know), do you plan on revealing the character's identity before the book is released, or are you going to stay quiet and let the first blabber-mouth announce it when they get it?
I'll be staying quiet, so I guess the reveal will go to the aforementioned blabber mouth.
Robin Hobb is very good. Her Assassin's Apprentice series was excellent, but I think the current Liveship Traders is even better. And if you haven'r tried him, there is always Jack Vance, whom I regard as the greatest living fantasist. Try any of the Dying Earth series, or the Lyonesse trilogy. Superb stuff.

WFP reaches displaced people in Paletwa Township, Chin State while many more remain cutoff and in need of urgent food assistance
“Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement and the Chin State Government, WFP food has reached communities in Samee,” said Stephen Anderson, WFP’s Country Director in Myanmar. “Priority now is to provide lifesaving assistance to people affected by conflict in other parts of southern Chin State, including those in and around Paletwa Town. We continue to appeal to all parties to grant WFP and our partners access so that we can reach those who need our support.”
This emergency relief assistance, consisting of rice, pulses, oil, salt along with kitchen utensils, will sustain 2,600 displaced people for two months. WFP also plans to ensure the provision of nutritious blended food to help children and mothers facing malnutrition.
WFP has also been trying to reach communities affected in Paletwa Town and will continue to explore all options to so that they can also be reached with lifesaving aid.
For the past few months, many people in Paletwa Township, which is located on the border with Rakhine and Chin states, have been living with food shortages and price hikes. Intensified fighting has resulted in trade and supply routes being cut off and fresh displacement of people as families are forced to flee, leaving their homes, land and livelihood behind.
Funded entirely on voluntary contributions, WFP is currently delivering emergency food aid to people affected by conflict and facing high food insecurity. This includes 270,000 people in Rakhine State, 47,000 people in Kachin State and 15,000 in Shan State. The operation in Rakhine has expanded lately to assist the new needs due to the ongoing armed conflict.

The Soul Game
Created by Shannon McLaren
During the pandemic of 2020, Whalesplosion's own Diogo Hausen collabored with Shannon McLaren to produce her YouTube series The Soul Game - an interactive group healing experience.
Diogo produced and edited over 20 episodes and trailers as well as posters, promos, and more graphic design work. This was all done remotely because being locked down during a world wide pandemic only fueled the fire to create over here.
Tiffany Haddish even played The Soul Game. There is cool people on it, check it out!

Mathews County experiences helped author come up with plot of 'A Silent Tide' (Daily Press Article 1
By Jennifer L. Williams, email@example.com
10:11 a.m. EST, February 6, 2014
William E. Johnson traces the idea for his first novel back to his move to Mathews County 22 years ago and people he has known while living there.
Johnson, an attorney who lives in Bavon at the county's southern tip, self-published "A Silent Tide" in November. It's a legal thriller set on the Chesapeake Bay, with the plot centering on the defense in a highly charged murder case.
So with no money and no clients, he moved to Mathews and bought a small house. Searching around for contacts, he went to a watermen's association meeting and offered legal representation for free.
He met Walter Coles Burroughs, a well-known Chesapeake Bay waterman who was one of the last to use the pound net method of fishing.
Johnson became close with Burroughs and a small group of leading regional watermen, attending meetings with them and going to Richmond at least once a year for the Virginia Seafood Council's banquet while the General Assembly was in session. A watermen's Cadillac would be used for the trip, and Johnson said it was full of the local giants of the business.
"They would just have a hoot, watermen-style," Johnson said. "They'd all drink far too much, and then I would drive them all home and they would all be snoring. Just having the opportunity to listen to their tales was tremendous."
Johnson gave a talk, read an excerpt and signed books at a Jan. 28 event organized by the Yorktown Book Club at the Yorktown Library. His latest work has touches of things he is immersed in — law, the watermen's way of life and even schools.
"It's been a wild ride," Johnson said. "The visuals of that which was going on around me never escaped me. And I always felt I was part of something special. And I always wanted to write a book."
Johnson's law practice specializes in criminal defense and claims personal injury, with a lot of murder cases and forensics. He is probably best known as the defense attorney for Benjamin Fawley in the 2005 murder case of Taylor Behl, a Virginia Commonwealth University freshman.
Johnson served two terms on the Mathews County School Board, from 2006-13, and seven years on the board of the Chesapeake Bay Governor's School. He started writing in 1996 with a novella titled "The Death of Redemption," and wrote a non-fiction education book called "A School in Pennsylvania" that was self-published in 2012.
"A Silent Tide" probably started about 18 years ago in a very rough format, he said. The people, food and flavor portrayed are based on Johnson's neighbors in Mathews with the character of Walter Taylor emulating Burroughs, Johnson said.
He hinted at film possibilities for the story, and said he will be writing a sequel.
"It will be darker and probably less case-based," Johnson said.
Williams can be reached by phone at 757-247-4644.
William E. Johnson's debut novel "A Silent Tide" is available on Amazon.com.

Your Corregidor dreams will have to be put on hold.
by Kyzia Maramara | June 09, 2020
For the past three decades, Sun Cruises has expertly managed Corregidor Island tourism. Anyone who had ever planned on visiting the historic island knows that to get around with ease and comfortability, you simply have to book a tour with them and they will take care of everything. Their tours cover transportation, food, lodging, knowledgeable tour guides, and a whole lot of adventure and entertainment.
On Tuesday morning, the management team announced via a Facebook post that they have ended their operations since last month. The letter began, “It is with deepest regret that we announce the closure of Sun Cruises Inc., effective May 16, 2020.”
Sun Cruises is under Magsaysay Shipping and Logistics Group. They first started their ferry services in 1988 and in the years that followed has successfully added fast-craft ferries and put tranvia buses on the island for tourists. They have organized nature hikes, night tours, educational and historic tours, as well as overnight bookings for the Corregidor Inn or the Hostel.
The letter ends hopeful, promising future tourists that plans to make Corregidor a Tourism Zone is underway. We hope this is a temporary set back for Sun Cruises and that they will return to conduct tours on the island in the future.
The news isn’t surprising as the country battles the coronavirus pandemic. Famous tourist sites have closed their doors since March 2020 and with lockdown, community quarantine, and social distancing measures in place, it’s unlikely they will be opened to the public any time soon. The tourism sector is especially hard hit and it is still unclear when or whether Philippine tourism can get back up on its feet.
The COVID-19 crisis has caused more than 7 million Filipinos to go unemployed and forced small businesses to close. What we can do once all this blows over is to plan our vacations locally to extend helping hand to fellow Filipinos and to help boost tourism in the country.
As of June 9, there have been 22,474 cases of coronavirus in the Philippines with 1,011 deaths.

The old way of preparing this reliable side dish, short of simmering a mold from a can, was to macerate fresh cranberries with sugar. Simple and effective. But a fresh vanilla bean and fragrant cardamom pods take this classic to next level delicious.
Gourmet Upgrade: Vanilla Bean and Cardamom Pods from Kalustyan’s Spice Shop NYC
Tip: Always buy the freshest cranberries available by checking the expiration date on the bag.
Wine Pairing: To mirror the vibrant flavors of the fruit sauce, pair with Noble Vines 515 Rose. This salmon-hued wine brims with strawberry and raspberry notes washed through on a backbone of acidity.
Published: November 13, 2018
Bring first five ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cardamom. Split vanilla bean lengthwise in half; scrape seeds into cranberry mixture and add bean. Simmer mixture until cranberries burst, about 10 minutes. Transfer sauce to medium bowl. Cool, cover, and refrigerate.

3 Types of Lighting Controls
Technology and innovation are the two most influential driving forces that have revamped a variety of trends in modern times. They have not only initiated the transformation of various industries but also increased the focus on the sustainability and efficiency aspects for the betterment of the world. One such industry is the lighting industry which has greatly evolved in recent years.
According to the top commercial lighting manufacturers, the lighting industry has achieved a host of milestones in the 21st century, namely increased utilization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), integration of IoT and the introduction of smart lighting controls.
What are Lighting Controls?
Lighting controls are a range of smart lighting devices that can regulate the levels, quality and characteristics of light in a defined space. These smart devices aid in reducing electricity wastage while simultaneously encouraging energy efficiency.
For instance, the leading LED lighting manufacturers claim that using lighting control solutions can reduce total energy consumption by almost 35%. Moreover, these devices aim to enhance user comfort and aid in the development of a functional, energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing space.
Types of Lighting Controls
Here are some types of lighting controls that have gained popularity in recent times:
1. Occupancy Sensors
Occupancy sensors, also known as occupancy detectors, are capable of controlling lighting devices by detecting the occupancy in a space. They switch on the lights automatically as they detect motion and turn them off when the area is not occupied for a certain amount of time. For instance, ESavvy is a range of smart PIR occupancy sensors by Wipro Lighting that uses advanced passive infrared technology for detecting patterns and ranges. It encourages convenience and ensures public (and employee) safety by automatically illuminating dark spaces like corridors, stairwells and aisles.
A dimmer allows the users to control and alter the “intensity of illumination” as per their preferences. It encourages convenience as users can lighten or darken the room with simple controls. Moreover, dimmers can be optimized for turning off the lights after a certain period of time. This not only aids energy savings but also increases the life of the LED luminaries.
3. Integrated Lighting Controls
Integrated lighting controls permit the users to alter the lighting scenes in a defined space. They allow the users to modify and set a lighting scene that comprehends their mood. Various LED lighting manufacturers offer IoT-enabled control systems that allow users to control lighting with mobile phones and other internet-enabled devices.
The introduction of lighting controls has increased focus on the cost and convenience aspects associated with lighting. Interestingly, it was Wipro Lighting that pioneered the Energy Management Systems in 2002 and introduced energy-efficient lighting controls that comprehended efficiency, comfort, and style.

The ‘Boss Babe Brunch’ Networking Event is Back!
Successful women are Indy bound for the fourth-annual Boss Babe Brunch!
Founded by Indianapolis native Mariah Oliver, the Boss Babe Network (BBN) keeps the busy workwoman in mind. While finishing her master’s degree at IUPUI, Oliver wanted to get more involved in her community. However, she felt that didn’t belong in the rooms she found herself in.
After realizing that other women have trouble connecting, Mariah created the BBN in November of 2020.
She founded the BBN on three pillars: Shopping, learning, and connecting. The shopping pillar consists of highlighting local and woman-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. Oliver incorporates the learning pillar by contracting women to lead professional development workshops, write blog contributions, and provide other skill-building resources.
The BBN operates on its connecting pillar by hosting networking events year-round, allowing women to build relationships in an atmosphere where they belong.
The largest event for the BBN is the Boss Babe Brunch here in Indianapolis! On June 4th, over 275+ women will convene at the Vision Loft Stutz for a day of networking and women empowerment! Influential women from around the city, including Senator Andrea Hunley, will speak at the event. The event includes career-building conversations, business promotion, and good food!
Also, the brunch will feature bottomless mimosas, a catered brunch, and “Very Boss” gift bags!
If you’re interested in attending, tickets are available here! However, you better act fast, the event is nearly sold-out!

52nd Thunderfest in Bowling Green
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A beloved Bowling Green event is on its way back around.
If you search BG Thunderfest on Facebook and Instagram or head to bgkiwanis.org/thunderfest, you’ll see a wealth of information on the biggest fireworks display in town.
The Kiwanis Club has been putting on Thunderfest at the National Corvette Museum for over half a century and plans to continue doing so with several thousands in attendance every year.
Thunderfest chairman, Rob Hutcheson, says, “Well, it’s gonna be another good one, I’ll just tell you. We spend close to $15,000 on fireworks,” along with three bands filling the area with some tunes.
Hutcheson said they’ve always had music, but “we want to make it more for the community, so they’re getting more than just coming for fireworks and food trucks,” with around five hours of live music starting at 3 p.m. CST.

Kentucky lawmaker challenging Bevin in GOP primary
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican state Rep. Robert Goforth offered a stinging rebuke of Gov. Matt Bevin on Tuesday as he opened his campaign to challenge the incumbent in this year’s primary.
Goforth, a relative newcomer to the legislature, repudiated Bevin’s leadership style as one of “arrogance, scorn and hateful ridicule,” and offered a populist message he said contrasts with Bevin’s “corporate-first agenda.”
“We need a governor who listens more than he lectures,” Goforth said at his kickoff event in London, Kentucky. “We need a governor who leads more than he lambasts.”
Goforth also introduced Lawrence County Attorney Mike Hogan as his running mate. Hogan, a veteran prosecutor from northeastern Kentucky, brings statewide experience to the ticket, having narrowly lost the GOP primary for attorney general in 2015.
Goforth planned to become the first Republican to file candidacy papers with the secretary of state’s office to challenge Bevin’s re-election bid. Bevin has said he’ll run for another term, but he has yet to file for the office or begin to raise money. Kentucky is one of three states that will elect governors in 2019, along with Louisiana and Mississippi.
Bevin’s approval ratings plummeted after he criticized public workers who opposed his efforts to change the state’s struggling public pension plans.
Looking to capitalize on Bevin’s handling of the pension debate, Goforth said: “Our people are tired of being talked down to and maligned by someone who thinks he is better than us, that he alone has all the answers to the problems that we face.”
Just weeks into his tenure in the legislature, Goforth was among several GOP lawmakers who bucked their party leadership to oppose last year’s changes to the state’s public pension systems. The measure stirred massive protests by teachers at the state Capitol and later was struck down by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
Kentucky’s pension systems are among the worst funded in the country.
Goforth, a pharmacist, represents a rural district covering Jackson and parts of Laurel and Madison counties. The Republican from East Bernstadt won a special election last February to replace former GOP Rep. Marie Rader, who resigned because of health reasons. Goforth won a full term last November.
Introducing himself to a statewide audience, Goforth said Tuesday that he grew up in poverty and dropped out of school to help his family. He earned his GED and served in the Army before going to college and becoming a pharmacist. He built a small chain of pharmacies.
“I have lived a life that is uniquely Kentucky,” he said.
Goforth also touted his conservative credentials during his opening campaign event. Like Bevin, Goforth opposes abortion and supports gun rights. Goforth pre-filed bills for the 2019 legislative session that would further restrict abortions and expand the state’s concealed carry law for gun owners.
On the Democratic side, candidates for governor include Attorney General Andy Beshear, state House Minority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins, former state Auditor Adam Edelen and Geoff Young, a former state employee who has run for office repeatedly.

At the end of January 2023, 33% of the land in Canada, 52% in the United States, and 82% in Mexico were under “abnormally dry” or some stage of drought conditions. A look at the statistics over the past 20-plus years shows a noticeable increase in drought conditions. But you do not have to rely solely on statistics to know that there is a problem. It is clear that numerous lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water across North America are shrinking or drying up completely. For example, the Great Salt Lake in Utah, the largest saltwater lake on Earth, is now only one-third of its size in the late 1840s. The Elephant Butte Reservoir, the largest reservoir in New Mexico, dropped to less than 4% of its total capacity. Researchers in British Columbia found a mass of some 65,000 dead salmon trapped while trying to spawn in a dried-up creek that feeds into the Neekus River. Last year, the western United States and northern Mexico continued through what is believed to be the driest 20-year period in at least 1,200 years.
What are the causes of such extreme events? What are the impacts? It is important to address questions like these to develop possible solutions to the drought problem.
Generally speaking, many bodies of water in North America (and worldwide, for that matter) are shrinking for two main reasons. The first is reduced precipitation, including rainfall as well as snowfall in mountains that feed waterways, in many areas. The second is rapidly increasing water usage for agriculture and other needs of the growing human population. While regions of Earth and the Earth as a whole go through natural cycles of wetter and drier conditions, it is increasingly obvious that human-induced climate change is intensifying droughts. So, essentially, human activity reduces the amount of water available while at the same time increasing the demand for water. Therefore, any potential solutions must deal with both these main aspects of the problem.
Impacts On Humans
Low river levels can bring commerce to a halt, such as river barges getting stuck on the Mississippi River. Also, when the water flow that feeds human-made reservoirs drops, reservoir levels can fall so low that hydroelectric dams can no longer reliably produce electricity. Low water levels also make it increasingly difficult to provide enough water for both agriculture and the populations of towns and cities in drought-stricken areas. For example, residents of cities in northern Mexico, such as Monterey, often go without municipal water supplies for days at a time and have to resort to filling buckets and trash cans at water trucks when available. Over the longer term, some populated areas of North America may become essentially uninhabitable.
Impacts On Animals
Some impacts of drought on animals are obvious, such as when tens of thousands of salmon get trapped and die in a dried-up creek. Many effects, however, are more hidden. Reduced water supplies can cause animals to migrate to new areas, potentially triggering conflict with other species or humans. For example, bears are more likely to wander into towns and cities for food and water. Reduced water (and, in turn, food) supplies can also increase the rate of disease in animals, further decreasing their numbers. These stresses can push species to the brink of extinction or even push them over the edge so that they disappear altogether.
Impacts On The Environment
No part of the environment escapes unaffected by an extended period of drought. Wildfires can become more frequent as the landscape dries out. Native plant species may be unable to adjust to the drier conditions and die out. Local weather patterns can change due to the reduced evaporation from smaller bodies of water. Marshes, swamps, and other wetlands may shrink or even disappear. Soil exposed by shrinking lakes and rivers can release harmful contaminants left behind by human activity. Tons of river silt may collect in shrinking reservoirs and eventually block dam spillways, leading, somewhat ironically, to flooding. In fact, drought conditions often make flooding worse when heavy rains come since the earth is too parched to soak up the water.
It is clear that, even though droughts are a normal occurrence in North America, overall drought conditions are worsening over time. Bodies of water are drying up in ways not seen. Human activities, namely increased water consumption and human-induced climate change, are key causes of this situation. Therefore, it will take human-made solutions—such as better water management and climate protection measures—to tackle the challenge affecting people, animals, and the environment as a whole.

You can get live captioning of media on your computer or through programs like Skype, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom by simply selecting the audio device you wish to record with. Ridiculously easy to set up and get running, One Transcriber is perfect for both professionals and complete beginners.
Moreover, One Transcriber allows you to follow along with the audio as it plays, which is especially convenient if you are listening to a virtual meeting or working in international customer service. By simply clicking the ‘start’ button, you can simultaneously listen to the audio as well as watch the transcription being made in real time. The app’s ‘final box’ will display the entire transcript along with timestamps after the transcript is complete, after which you can copy the text and paste it into the document.
Next, you can easily cut out all the speech delays and broken speech, either while the scripts are being generated or after they are finished. Transcripts can be easily exported as TXT or .doc files and repurposed or shared with others.
While One Transcriber is transcribing all your video and audio, you can easily focus on what the people are saying and gather information more easily, without the need to furiously take notes.

Fatal shooting at Charlotte-area school stemmed from bullying, officials say
A long-simmering dispute between two students at Butler High School in Matthews, N.C., erupted into gunfire Monday morning, leaving a 10th-grade student dead and the suspect, a ninth grader, charged with first-degree murder, authorities said.Posted — Updated
Tuesday classes at Butler have been canceled and grief counselors were set to be on hand when students and teachers return to class on Thursday. A teacher workday was scheduled for Wednesday so no students will be in class that day.
School administrators and police held a news conference Monday afternoon and identified the two students involved in the incident.
Jatwan Cuffie, 16, who is in the ninth grade, was being held Monday afternoon at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Detention Center after he surrendered to a teacher and admitted fatally shooting his classmate, police said. He was taken into custody shortly after the shooting.
Bobby McKeithen, 16, a 10th grader, died after he was shot in a crowded school hallway as students were headed into class, authorities said.
"This appears to be a tragedy that was the result of conflict between two individuals and an isolated event," schools Superintendent Clayton Wilcox said at the afternoon press conference. "First reports indicate that the conflict began with bullying that escalated out of control as fear took over."
According to Matthews Police Department Capt. Stason Tyrrell, students remained inside the school, which is about 12 miles southeast of Charlotte and has about 2,200 pupils enrolled, on lockdown for about two hours after the shooting, which occurred shortly after 7 a.m.
Wilcox said school administrators made the decision to keep students on campus because there was concerns that many of the youngsters would not have adequate transportation to get home if classes were dismissed without warning.
He said school officials would be meeting soon to assess how they communicated with parents during the crisis.
"We will go back to square one on how we can do a better, more effective job of communicating with parents," Wilcox said.
McKeithen was pronounced dead after he was rushed to Carolinas Medical Center for treatment, authorities said.
Police declined to say where Cuffie got the gun used during the incident, but Tyrrell said charges could be filed if investigators conclude that the weapon was not properly secured at the suspect's home.
Investigators have the weapon used but have not said what it is.
"There were many kids in the hallway when this happened," Wilcox said. "We're incredibly saddened by the fact that we had a loss of life on one of our campuses today. What makes it doubly difficult is that it was one of our students who was the shooter."
Wilcox said the school system was reviewing its security procedures to determine how the student got a gun into the school.
Wilcox said there are security cameras at the school, but the facility does not have metal detectors.
By late morning, school officials said that the lockdown was lifted and families could pick up students at the main entrance. Classes were proceeding for students who remained on campus.
Police said the shooting was an isolated incident and say there is no continued threat.
"There is no evidence these kids had anything in common other than a beef that began at school," Wilcox said, adding that the incident could have far reaching implications for the entire school community. "It's fair to say that more lives than just the (victim and suspect) have been changed forever."

How Race Was Made (Seeing White, Part 2) [excerpt]
by John Biewen (Scene on Radio , 2017)
When producer John Biewen was in high school in the late 1970s, he learned from his textbooks that people could be divided into three distinct races — mongoloid, caucasoid and negroid. Decades later he wondered when and how this now debunked theory of race took hold. In this episode, John looks at those distinctions arose.
How the Environment Got Political [excerpt]
by Brooke Gladstone (On the Media from WNYC Studios, 2017)
In the 1960's the issues pertaining to the environment were not nearly as divisive as they are today (e.g. Global Warming). Back then, the environment was a bipartisan issue, and a Republican president created the EPA in 1970 in response to public pressure. So how did we get here? How did the environment go from universal concern to political battleground — with the EPA caught in the crossfire?
State (Sanctuary Part 2)
by Delaney Hall with Roman Mars (99% Invisible , 2017)
In n the 1980s, the United States experienced a refugee crisis. Thousands of Central Americans were fleeing civil wars in their home countries.In response, a network of churches across the country declared themselves “sanctuaries,” offering shelter to thise who were threatened with deportation and in some cases helped smuggle people across the border. Leaders and members of these sanctuary churches believed they had a religious imperative to help people fleeing persecution. But the US government saw things differently, and took legal action.

MEMPHIS, TN (WSAV) — One family is sharing their story of courage and hope after years spent at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Stephen Hackett’s oldest son was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was just six months old.
“A diagnosis like this makes you feel isolated from your friends and family,” Hackett said.
He described it as a very tough few years for his family.
“Our son learned to take his first steps at St. Jude and that was a place we practiced,” Hackett said. “Once he got big enough to walk around on his own, he was just like any other kid.”
But after undergoing chemotherapy and multiple surgeries, Hackett’s son is happy, healthy and cancer-free 12 years later.
He says it’s all thanks to the team of oncologists at the research hospital.
“Throughout that whole process, we have met the most amazing people at St. Jude to nurses who cared for him on chemo to folks working in the on-campus cafeteria,” Hackett said. “Everyone is there because they love these kids and they love the mission.”
Hackett says when you make a donation to St. Jude, your support goes further than you may think.
“When you do donate, whether it’s a ticket for the dream home or something else, you’re not only paying for things like chemotherapy and MRI’s and snacks in the cafeteria, but you’re giving us as patient families, you’re giving us the latitude to focus on the wellbeing of your child and your family and getting through it together without the looming despair of giant medical bills.”
There’s still time to purchase your ticket for a chance to win the 2021 Dream Home. Georgia residents have two ways to enter: You can reserve a ticket online or call 800-383-9844 to reserve your $100 ticket. South Carolina residents must call the number to enter.
The three-bedroom home is nearly 2,000 square feet and is valued at an estimated $320,000. It sits in The Preserve at Richmond Hill Plantation neighborhood and has been constructed by Ashwood Fine Homes.
The grand prize drawing will take place live on WSAV News 3 at 6 p.m. in late June. Last year, tickets sold out one month early so reserve yours today!

SAINT PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild, in partnership with the American Red Cross and HealthPartners, today announced they will host a blood drive at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in celebration of Black History Month. The Minnesota Wild hope to raise awareness about the need for a diverse blood supply, especially to help sickle cell patients which affects one out of every 365 Black or African American births. One in three African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease.
To register and for more information on donor eligibility, please visit redcrossblood.org or the Red Cross Blood Donor App and use the sponsor code “WILD.” All blood types are needed, and space is limited. An appointment is required to participate in this blood drive. Participants registered for this blood drive are not allowed to bring additional guests.
“I am proud to be part of two great organizations that serve the Twin Cities,” said Dr. David Hamlar, Regions Hospital Surgeon and Board Chair of the MN Red Cross. “This collaboration can help address healthcare disparities. This includes helping patients living with sickle cell through awareness campaigns, community networks, and yes, blood drives, which all help serve our communities of color.”
The American Red Cross is facing the worst blood shortage in over a decade. The dangerously low blood supply can affect our local hospitals, including Regions. As a sponsor and partner of our local chapter, American Red Cross in Minnesota, we support them and their mission in every way we can and that includes hosting blood drives. Donating blood products is essential to community health and the need for blood products is constant.
Free parking will be available for all donors participating in the blood drive at the Saint Paul RiverCentre Parking Ramp located off Kellogg Blvd. across from the Saint Paul RiverCentre. Doors for the event will open at 9:30 a.m. at Gate 1.
Following their donation, all donors will receive a signed player card from Matt Dumba, Jordan Greenway and Ryan Reaves.

RATA data analysis
Use RATA data analysis to analyze Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA) data.
This method allows:
- To study and visualize the links between the products and attributes.
- To study the agreements between the assessors.
WHAT IS RATA DATA ANALYSIS?
RATA data analysis is a method used in sensory evaluation to collect and analyze data on consumer perceptions of products.
RATA is useful for assessing sensory characteristics of products, informing product development and quality control in industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics, and consumer goods.
Participants rate product attributes such as attributes about taste, texture or appearance using a numerical scale or rating system. Ratings are analyzed to identify patterns and trends using multivariate statistical analysis.
RATA DATA ANALYSIS OUTPUTS IN XLSTAT
ANOVA summaries: The ANOVA summary for each attribute is displayed.
Assessors' repeatability: The coefficient of similarity (Salton Cosine) between the results of different sessions is displayed. This coefficient takes values between 0 and 1 and increases with the similarity between sessions.
Eigenvalues: The eigenvalues of CA or PCA and corresponding chart (scree plot) are displayed.
Product and attributes coordinates: The coordinates of the products and attributes of the consensus in the factors space are displayed with the corresponding charts.
Similarity matrix (S): The matrix of similarity index between all assessors is displayed. The similarity coefficient used is the Salton cosine which is included between 0 and 1. The closer it is to 1, the stronger the similarity. This matrix is used by CATATIS to calculate the weights of the assessors.
Weights: The weights calculated by CATATIS are displayed with the associated bar chart. The greater the weight, the more the assessor contributed to the consensus. Knowing that CATATIS gives more weight to the closest assessor from a global point of view, a much lower weight than the others will mean that the assessor is atypical.

Johnny Marr has released ‘Tenement Time’ and ‘Sensory Street’, two new singles set to feature on the ‘Fever Dreams Pt 2’ EP. Due for release on December 17th, the EP will preview four brand new tracks that make up the second quarter of Johnny Marr’s forthcoming double album, ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’.
Premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music, ‘Sensory Street’ follows on electro-soul album opener ‘Spirit, Power and Soul’s anthemic strand – a startling track with strident electronics that Marr describes as, “the story of a surreal 48 hours in subterranean England”. ‘Tenement Time’ marks the end of the double album’s first half. A rousing, reflective creation fusing sonic power with an emotional potency. Both highlight ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’s sheer sonic scale.
Speaking about ‘Tenement Time’, Johnny Marr said:
“That’s the experience of growing up in the inner city as a little kid, running around being quite wild. This idea of “Forever, forever is mine” – it’s about running around Ardwick, bunking into warehouses and getting chased. That was the first time I was self-consciously into culture: around people who wore certain clothes, and it was part of being a little Manchester boy, really. I have a real romanticism about that period of my life.”
Watch the official music video for ‘Tenement Time’ – BELOW
The ‘Fever Dreams Pt 2’ EP will include four new songs that make up the second quarter of the double album – ‘Sensory Street’, ‘Tenement Time’, ‘Lightning People’ and ‘Hideaway Girl’. The ‘Fever Dreams Pt 2’ EP is released digitally and on very limited edition 12” transparent violet vinyl on December 17th.
Johnny Marr’s anticipated return to the live stage marked his first shows since performing ‘No Time To Die’ with Billie Eilish and Hans Zimmer live at the 2020 BRIT Awards, following his work on the new James Bond film soundtrack, now the highest-charting album in the history of the film. Sold-out dates across the UK saw Johnny described as “emerging from lockdown in one of the most prolific periods of his colourful career” by the NME, and “breaking new ground with his solo material” by The i Newspaper.
In an exclusive global livestream event, premiering on Wednesday 10th November in venues globally, and available on-demand until Sunday 14th November, Johnny Marr will present ‘Live At The Crazy Face Factory’. The intimate event will see Johnny discuss his creative process, life in songwriting, and a set of full-band live performances with music from across his prolific career.
The livestream will give fans the chance to virtually step inside the Crazy Face Factory – a unique and personal space – Johnny’s custom-built studio, rehearsal space, creative hub, and where his forthcoming double album ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’ was created. Tickets are available via Driift HERE. Find your local UK independent cinema screening listed HERE.
Watch the new lyric video for ‘Sensory Street’ – BELOW:
Looking to 2022 and following the release of ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’, Johnny Marr will join Blondie as a special guest on their ‘Against The Odds’ headline tour through April and May, including London’s O2 Arena, before heading out on The Killers’ headline US arena tour, beginning in August through to October 2022.
‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’ will be available on CD and double vinyl with the official store offering exclusive limited edition white vinyl and cassettes, alongside merch bundles with signed prints. HMV and independent record stores will also be stocking a limited edition turquoise vinyl pressing.

YAD Chairperson Hashim Djojohadikusumo (HSD) cares so much for endangered species prompting him to establish the Dharmasraya Sumatran Tiger Rehabilitation Centre (DSTRC). The Center was built on a 10-hectare land which is a part of the 27,000 hectares of palm oil plantation of PT Tidar Kerinci Agung situated in two regencies in West Sumatra and one district in Jambi province. The Center consists of seven breeding cages for post conflict tigers that are ready for release. It’s also equipped with clinics and animal breeding facilities for other native Sumatran animals. Also in the same plantation is a 2,400 hectare conservation forest of Sumitro Djojohadikusumo.
The Sumatran tiger (Panthera Tigris sumatrae) is one of five sub-species of tiger (Panthera Tigris) in the world that still survives. These animals are categorized as increasingly rare and threatened. The current number of tigers living in the wild is approximately only 400-500. The endangered Sumatran tigers are also the only sub-species of tigers that still belong to Indonesia after two of their brothers, the Bali tiger (Panthera Tigris balica) and the Javan tiger (Panther Tigris spondaic) have been declared extinct.
The development of DSTRC is based on cooperation agreements between Balai Konservasi Sumberdaya Alam Sumatera Barat (BKSDA) and PT TKA that pointed YAD as an implementor. HSD won the Kalpataru Award on June 2014 as a recognition for his action in various environmental conservations.

The firm, which exports more than half of its production to 45 countries, mainly in Europe, completed the fiber plant, the first of two projects prepared with the Project-Based Incentive System, previously approved by President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan and published in the Official Gazette.
In a statement SASA General Manager Mehmet Şeker noted the firm, founded in 1966 and later acquired by Erdemoğlu Holding from Sabancı Holding, is the biggest polyester producer in the country. In their facilities, they make polyester used in almost all areas of life and currently produce 1,000 tons daily. Şeker said they export more than half of that production to 45 countries.
The petrochemicals and fiber-type chemicals manufacturer in the southern city of Adana, SASA, is ready to start production in the first of the company's two projects, worth $1 billion with 25 percent in incentive support.
"We reach around $180 to 200 million in exports. We plan to increase our exports after constructing new facilities to increase daily production to 3,000 tons. Our $1 billion investment, 25 percent under incentive, is made here," Åžeker said. "Our fiber plant is completed, and we are in the commissioning stage, which takes about two to three months. We'll send our first products to our customers and start production after receiving their approval. The plant construction for Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), a kind of polyester, is almost finished. Our goal is to put it into operation at the end of 2019. In 2020, SASA will have a turnover of approximately $2 billion and will export about half of that."
Åžeker stated that SASA intends to make the raw material of the polyester they are currently using and that they have ongoing studies on this issue.
Şeker added they would make the raw material for polyester together with their new investment in Yumurtalık, Adana. "So, we can compete very easily with the Chinese. Right now, the Chinese are one step ahead of us due to their production, and they can sell it cheaper," he said. "We will reduce the amount of purified terephthalic acid (PTA), the raw material of polyester, entering the country after producing them, which will contribute approximately $1.5 billion to the current account deficit."
Åžeker pointed out that Turkey must produce raw materials and compete with the world, stressing the period of "importing raw material and the machine, processing them here, providing only labor and energy and getting the rest from abroad" should come to an end. He said that, "There will be no hardship in a country that produces. If we produce, we can share and consume together," noting that everyone should work hand in hand for the future of the country.
A weekly report covering market and price information on the entire chain of polyester along with online access to daily polyester chain prices.
One-time reports that are issued annually cover the demand and supply trends in individual products including polyester, nylon, acrylic, viscose, and cotton.
One-time reports that are issued annually cover the demand and supply trends in the individual country's natural and manmade fiber/filament industries.

ROST joins the great family of YOOM™ producers
With the aim of being everywhere in the world in order to reach everybody, the great family of YOOM™ producers is continuing to grow thanks to the ROST group of companies, the newest member of our family, in Russia.
ROST is one of the leading vegetable growers in the Russian market. It owns 15 high-tech greenhouses which enable it to harvest crops throughout the year. Its largest distribution centre, located in Moscow, is equipped with the latest sorting and packing lines.
In addition to productivity, one highly important aspect in the growth process is environmentally friendly technology. All the plants are protected from the common risks facing crops grown in open fields, making it possible to avoid using chemical products.
Natural assistants of plant cultivation and protection
Inside the greenhouses, the latest technology and the wisdom of nature work together in harmony. The pollination of the plants by bumble bees ensures the crop and improves the quality of the vegetables, and the plants that protect the insects create the most reliable biological protection.
The greenhouses have also been designed with hygienic modules to ensure a closed phytosanitary system, thus reducing the plants’ risk of accidental bacterial and fungal infections.
United through The Flavour Experience
ROST has the latest micro-climate management, automated watering, plant growth analysis and monitoring, and independent energy generation systems. A new partner with which we share a common philosophy and way of doing things, and which will help us keep expanding and sharing #TheFlavourExperience.

I don't know if this counts as a proper "ghost" story, I don't even know if I what I saw was a ghost because - and I am not by any means an expert on ghosts, in fact I never even believed in them before - I thought the definition of a ghost was a dead person who's spirit comes back. But I just need to know what people think.
So, today, me and one of my best friends went to a cafe for lunch. We see each other every day and always go to the same cafe so I wasn't expecting anything strange to happen. We were going to meet inside the cafe and she got there first. I saw her sat at a table, alone, on the other side of the room. Just as I looked at her, she saw me and smiled and waved at me. Straight after she waved, a small group of people passed in front of her table so I couldn't see her any more. As I walked over to the table, the group of people who passed in front of her sat down in front of me so I couldn't see her table again. I carried on walking towards her table but when I got there, she wasn't there.
I looked around for a few seconds, confused, thinking I had walked to the wrong table because there was no sign of her or her bags etc. Then I looked all around me and when I saw the other side of the cafe which was at least about 30 feet or so away from me (and to the far left of where I was standing). I saw my friend. She was sat there with all her bags and reading a book.
Her hair was completely straight. When I saw her a few seconds earlier, her hair had been curly (it's naturally curly but she nearly always straightens it). By this time I was scared. I told her everything and she said she had been sat where she was then for about 10 minutes and hadn't moved at all.
Does anyone know what I saw?

Concept / Identity / Interior
The Capuzina Aperitivo & Night Bar is situated in a beautiful location, next to the Rienz river and with a panorama of the old town of Bruneck. It is one of the few places in Puster Valley that celebrates bar culture, high quality drinks, selected music and design. We did everything from developing a business plan to finding the name to hiring the staff before finally opening in December 2015.

Terms and definitions for the interactive digital media tax credit
The following terms and phrases will help you understand the requirements for the interactive digital media tax credit (IDMTC) and complete the IDMTC application for registration:
- B.C. resident employees
- Directly attributable
- Eligible activities
- Eligible salaries and wages
- Permanent establishment
- Prescribed products
- Principal business
- Specified employee
- Taxable Canadian corporation
- Used interactively
B.C. resident employees are full-time and part-time employees of the corporation who were engaged in eligible activities for the tax year and were residents in B.C. on December 31 of the year preceding the end of the corporation’s tax year.
Contractors or sub-contractors are not included.
To determine if an employee is a resident in B.C. for the IDMTC, corporations may be required to gather documentation to support the B.C. residency of an employee whose salaries and wages are being claimed for the IDMTC. If an individual is no longer employed, supporting information gathered at the start of employment is acceptable if, after reasonable enquiry, the corporation has no reason to believe the individual’s residency status has changed by December 31 of the year preceding the end of the corporation's tax year. For example, if a corporation mails a T4 to an address outside of B.C., this would suggest that the individual may no longer be a B.C. resident for the IDMTC claim for that tax year.
Below are descriptions of how you identify salary and wages that are directly attributable to eligible activities:
An employee's salary and wages that are directly attributable to eligible activities in respect to the development of an IDM product is based on the duties performed by the employee, not on the employee's job title.
An employee’s salary and wages are directly attributable to an eligible activity if there is a direct link between the salary and wages and a specific eligible activity. This link may be determined for an employee by reviewing job descriptions, contracts, time sheets or other detailed documentation.
Only the portion of the employee's salary and wages which are directly attributable to eligible activities may be claimed. For example, if an employee works 70% of the time on non-eligible activities, then only 30% of the employee's salary and wages would be considered directly attributable to eligible activities. The allocation method used must be reasonable, clearly documented and applied consistently.
Eligible activities are the activities undertaken by the corporation that are attributable to the development of an IDM product. Examples of eligible activities include design, artwork, animation and project management.
An eligible activity does not include marketing, human resource services, administrative support services or management services.
IDMTC eligible salaries and wages must be all of the following:
- Incurred on or after September 1, 2010 and before September 1, 2028
- Paid to individuals who were resident in B.C. on December 31 of the year preceding the end of the corporation's tax year
- Directly attributable to eligible activities
Only the portion of an employee’s salary and wages that is directly attributable to eligible activities may be included. For example, if an employee works 70% of the time on non-eligible activities, then only 30% of the employee’s salary and wages would be considered directly attributable to eligible activities. The allocation method used must be reasonable, clearly documented and applied consistently.
Total eligible salaries and wages for the year must be greater than $100,000 (pro-rated for short tax years) to be eligible to register for the IDMTC.
The IDMTC is calculated based on eligible salaries and wages minus any assistance, other than federal scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax credits, received or expected to receive. If applicable, you should include a description of that assistance as part of the supporting documents for the tax year.
What’s not included in eligible salaries and wages
IDMTC eligible salaries and wages do not include:
- Stock options
- Amounts paid to specified employees that are:
- Based on profits or a bonus, or
- In excess of five times the year's maximum pensionable earnings
- Amounts paid to employees for performing marketing services, human resource services, administrative support or management services
- Development of an animated or live action scene or series of scenes, other than a cut scene, over which the user has limited or no control
- Amounts paid to contractors or sub-contractors
Permanent establishment has the same meaning as in the federal Income Tax Act and includes an office, factory or workshop in B.C.
Prescribed products include:
- Operating system software
- Products designed to be used by individuals for interactive communication
- Products designed for marketing or promoting an entity, product or idea
- Games classified by the Entertainment Software Rating Board as “AO” (Adults only)
- Products that, in the opinion of the minister, are contrary to public policy
Refer to the Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit Regulation for more information on prescribed products.
You corporation’s principal business is the development of interactive digital media (IDM) products if more than 50% of your business is developing complete IDM products. This will be determined based on all the available and supporting information you provided with your registration.
A specified employee of a corporation has the same meaning as in definition in the federal Income Tax Act. Generally, it’s an individual who:
- Owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the corporation
- Doesn’t deal at arm's length with the corporation
Taxable Canadian corporation has the same meaning as the definition in the federal Income Tax Act. This includes a corporation incorporated in Canada that has a permanent establishment in B.C. and is not otherwise exempt from tax.
Used interactively describes the communication between an individual and a computer. Based on the ongoing interaction between the user and the computer there may be many different end results or unique experiences for each user. The communication can range from a technical interaction on a primary level (menus, cursors, etc.) to verbal exchanges with a computer.
For an augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR) product, a computer may include devices capable of providing an individual with an interactive experience. For example, a smartphone, virtual reality headset, haptic feedback device or virtual retinal display could be considered a computer for an AR/VR product.
An interactive digital media product must enable the user to become a participant, not simply a reader or spectator.
We evaluate three characteristics of the product to determine if it’s intended to be used interactively by individuals:
These characteristics are not strict conditions but serve as an important guide in the evaluation.
Feedback is the response given by the program to the user. For example, interactive educational software would comment on the user’s test results, give the right answer, point out a weakness or suggest that the user review a particular chapter.
For an AR/VR product, an example can be an application software that uses a smartphone’s camera and GPS capabilities to allow a user to search and find hidden AR/VR objects. Points may be accumulated for successfully locating hidden objects.
The user has a degree of control over a product when the user can influence and affect the way in which the program unfolds. For example, the user can make choices, implement a strategy, move objects, use logical reasoning, reconstitute a whole or modify or create an image.
An AR/VR product example can be a user inputting variables and looking through a virtual reality headset to optimally build a bridge. The user would be able to manipulate the VR scene to forecast or test scenarios based on various placements of that bridge.
A product adapts to the user’s needs if the program’s action depends on several situations that have been provided for within the program. The program could offer several scenarios, but the specific action will consider the user’s level of ability. It could also incorporate decision trees or databases leading to a search for information and subsequent processing of it.
For an AR/VR product, the product may be adaptive when a product’s simulated objects react to the environment (whether physical, virtual or augmented) that they are placed in. For example, a product that adjusts where or how a virtual 3D image is displayed based on the location of objects in the vicinity of the area the 3D image has been placed in may be considered adaptive.

The Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) will open their One if By Land, Two if By Sea exhibition with a festive reception this Friday, June 21, from 6 to 8 pm in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street.
“Given the vast history of New England and Nantucket, as the harbor fills with boats and the summer flora and fauna begins, we timed this exhibition to coincide with the arrival of the islands most colorful season. Nantucket lends itself to beautiful vistas, both of land and sea, so our artists were invited to bring in two smallish works or one large piece showcasing landscapes vs. seascapes, for this exhibition,” said AAN artistic director Robert Frazier.
“And as an added plus, on the second floor we will continue to display some of the works completed during our 8th annual Plein Air Nantucket painting festival,” added Frazier.
The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during this exhibition is Courtney Muller, who will also discuss her work during a Spotlight Artist Talk on Saturday, June 22 at 10 am in the gallery, 19 Washington Street.
A stone’s throw from Main Street, the AAN Gallery displays jewelry, oil paintings, acrylics, watercolors, ceramics, sculptures, mixed media, wooden carvings, photographs, and some textiles by its nearly 300 local artist members. All this talent helps make the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson an award-winning gallery and one of the most comprehensive island venues for local art.
One if By Land, Two if By Sea will be on display from June 21 – July 1 at the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street in the heart of Nantucket’s Cultural District. The gallery is open Monday–Saturday, 10 am to 2 pm and 2:30 pm to 5 pm; Sundays, 11 am to 4 pm.
For further information about the AAN and 2019 programs and events, please visit the website at www.nantucketarts.org or call 508-228-0722.

A dinner was held in York last week at the 3 Rosette Restaurant, The Park, by Adam Jackson to show support and raise funds for Yorkshire chef Tim Bilton who earlier this year was diagnosed with stage four melanoma cancer.
As widely reported last month, TV Chef Tim Bilton has battled on and off with cancer after first being diagnosed with a rare form of melanoma cancer in his eye six years ago. After initial treatment, he was given the all clear until it came back a second time two years later. Again, Tim underwent treatment and had operations to tackle the cancer and all was going well until earlier this year when he was sadly informed it had returned, but this time in a much more aggressive form and that it was now incurable. The support for Tim from the hospitality industry since he shared this news has been overwhelming, with messages of moral support coming in from some of the country’s top chefs including Raymond Blanc and Tom Kerridge.
A fund was set up to help Tim and his wife Adele make special memories with their two young boys and also to help ease financial worries whilst Tim undergoes immune therapy treatment. Upon hearing about this, chef Adam Jackson sent a message out to the Yorkshire restaurant and hospitality community and the response to support a dinner in aid of Tim and his family was immediate.
Last week the dinner was held at The Park by Adam Jackson in York and was attended by leading chefs and restaurateurs from around Yorkshire with many more who couldn’t make it also generously supplying meals and gifts as auction prizes to help boost funds. The fantastic meal consisted of Adam’s renowned seven course tasting menu with the full ticket price of £65 per head going completely to the fund. Dishes included sea trout broad beans peas and mint, a take on Tim Bilton’s signature dish of venison shepherds pie and liquorice; followed by cod, grapes lovage and girole; and pork cauliflower truffle and smoked garlic. Desserts included lemon pistachio and cherry followed by an Earl Grey raspberry and vanilla pudding and summer truffle, all served with Adam’s pinpoint accuracy of flavour and presentation.
Acting as host front of house was HRH Group’s Managing Director, Simon Cotton, who welcomed the diners and became auctioneer after dinner, where the guests bid for a fantastic array of donated prizes including meals at Winteringham Fields, Skosh, The Burlington at Devonshire Arms, The Star Inn at Harome, Pipe & Glass and the Durham Ox to name a few. Centrepiece of the lots was an amazing chocolate sculpture (pictured) of chef Tim Bilton in a kitchen kindly created and provided by chef chocolatier Ashley McCarthy of Ye Old Sun Inn at Colton. The diners generously bid for this as a collective raising over £300 alone and then immediately donating it to Tim so he could share it with his children.
Food writer and photographer Wendy Preston was on hand on the night taking pictures and streaming live Facebook updates to Tim whose health sadly meant he couldn’t make it in person, but he was over the moon by the evening and social media ensured he could be part of the enjoyment without being there in person.
Tim’s wife Adele commented “It’s very overwhelming just how much love and support there is for Tim from his fellow chefs and peers in the industry. We both cannot thank Adam and his team enough for all the hard work that will have gone into to the evening and I’m sorry we couldn’t be there. At what is such a difficult time for us a family, it’s amazing people like all you guys that makes us all smile and be very grateful for each and every day. As you know Tim is a very proud Yorkshire man and the hardest working man I know. To see him struggle to get out of bed every morning to go out to work to provide for his family just absolutely amazes me. This is what the hospitality industry has instilled into him. You can never ever take the chef out of him. Thank you to all you wonderful people and from the bottom of your hearts we are so very grateful. All our love The Biltons.”
Simon Cotton hosting said, “When Adam approached owner Philip Barker and I last month and said he wanted to put this dinner on for Tim and his family it was an easy decision to say yes and support it and we can’t thank everyone enough for their generous donations including many of our suppliers like Sykes House Farm, Anna Lupton, Hodgsons, Yorkshire Vintners, L’uva Italian Wines & Truffles and Cooper King Gin to name just some. The response to wanting to either attend the dinner or at the very least provide a prize for auction was immediate and particularly generous and we were delighted that the night has raised over £5,000 for Tim and his family. The Yorkshire hospitality scene is a very close knit one and when hearing of Tim’s heart-breaking story, it was humbling to see everyone rallying together to lend support.” Adam added, “I was really touched by Tim’s story; he’s a chef in his forties with a young family. I thought, that could so easily be me and I immediately wanted to do something to help”.
With the generous audience, the evening raised in excess of £5,300 which will be going directly to Tim and his family to help with their memory making. To help add to this and donate to Tim Bilton’s fund to help create further family memories please click here.

The fears and frustrations that fanboys have polemically blogged for the past year is now all but sadly realized.
“It ain’t about the ‘principle,’ friend, it’s about the money! Pay me!” Ellison said in a statement. “I’m doing it for the 35-year-long disrespect and the money!”
Watchmen entered into its second weekend at the box office, but what was being hailed as being a masterpiece has already dropped two #2 in the wake of the release of Race to Witch Mountain.
The original was a forerunner of the corps of walking corpse films that followed and considered to be one of the most valuable in the RKO library.
Ron Silver was one of those actors that you would always recognize, but you never really knew who he was. Sunday morning, he passed away at the age 62 of esophageal cancer.

What do you get when you mix Ke$ha and Star Wars? Only the best and geekiest music video ever. It was bound to happen sooner or later, it was just a toss up over whether it’d be a Star Trek or Star Wars type spoof. Star Wars once again proves why it’s better.
Capree Kimball who snowballed the video virally has this to says:
A few of my old work/school buddies put together this little video, which is amazing on so, so many different levels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, because it’s nerdtastic and awesome.

While the Willamette Valley is most recognized for its ideal Pinot Noir growing latitude, hops do quite fine here as well. This translates to some fantastic Oregon breweries creating tasty ales and creative craft beers. McMinnville has a tight-knit brewing community, not dissimilar to the friendly relationships and kinship of the local winemakers. We all know that tending to vineyards or hops and the barrelling to the bottling process is a labor of love. It takes a lot of hard work and long hours to produce fine wines, ales, and spirits.
The downtown McMinnville Third Street area is home to a handful of great Oregon breweries. Cozy taprooms and open, airy breweries dot the popular central street hub. You’ll find charming shops, restaurants, and art galleries to check out as well. Many of these Oregon breweries also have delicious food programs to pair with their brews—wood-fired pizza, burgers, and small plates for sharing add to the excitement of grabbing a drink with friends.
Our Willamette Valley Bed and Breakfast is one of McMinnville’s best places to stay. Located just ten minutes from the downtown area, surrounded by the vineyards of Youngberg Hill and our reserve label Bailey Family Wines, our hilltop Inn is a luxurious wine country destination. Check out our upcoming availability and book your next getaway today!
The Best Oregon Breweries to Visit for a Beer Tasting
You’ll find every shade of the hop rainbow at Oregon breweries, from uber hoppy IPAs to bright and light farmhouse ales to dark and malty stouts and tangy fruit sours; there’s a beer for every palate.
- Bierly Brewing: While this is one of the completely gluten-free Oregon breweries, the beers may lack wheat but not flavor. Head to their newly remodeled downtown McMinnville location to taste their Germanesque brews.
- Golden Valley Brewery: As one of the longtime mainstays on 3rd Street in downtown McMinnville, this craft brewery has served locals and visitors alike since 1993. Grab a spot on their garden patio, a flight, and a hearty burger.
- Foreland Brewery: This McMinnville newcomer took top honors as the “Best New Brewery” at the Oregon Beer Awards this year. Take a seat at one of the outdoor picnic benches or by the gas fire pit and enjoy these award-winning, hoppy, flavorful drafts.
- Grain Station Brew Works: Head to the historic Granary District for an onsite brewed pint in a renovated timber barn. The rustic surroundings pair perfectly with their Bet the Farm IPA and hearty sandwiches and pizzas.
Oregon Breweries just outside McMinnville:
- Barn Door Brewing: Out in the small town of Dundee, Oregon, order a mason jar flight of their fresh brewed IPAs, imperial ales, and porter in their airy taproom.
- Chehalem Valley Brewing Co.: Most Oregon breweries are family-friendly, and this Newberg, Oregon pub is no exception. They welcome guests of all ages to enjoy the space and indulge in fried cheese curds, fresh salads, and meaty sandwiches.
- Wolves & People Farmhouse Brewery: Also in Newberg, this brewery focuses on farmhouse-style ales, which are unfiltered and often brewed with fruit. They have a substantial all-weather beer garden with covered spaces, picnic tables, a fire pit, and heaters.
The Long and Fascinating History of Growing Hops in Oregon
While the first commercial hop production began in New York State in the early 19th century, the aromatic vine made its way to Oregon in 1867. William Wells is attributed for starting the first commercial hop yard in Buena Vista, Oregon, which set the wheels in motion for the future of brewing in the state of Oregon. Today, there are more than 200 Oregon breweries, and our state is the second-largest producer of hops in the country.
Hops are vines that grow beautiful cone-shaped flowers and thrive in the climate of the Willamette Valley. Not dissimilar to grapes, there are many different varietals of hops that infuse unique flavors and distinct aromas during the brewing process. The first hop vines were planted for ornamental and medicinal purposes and originated in Germany. In recent years, hop vines have become a popular backyard crop for amateur gardeners, and it’s not uncommon to see fences and trellises covered in the lush climbing plant.
The Best Place to Stay in the Willamette Valley
Whether you’re in the Willamette Valley to explore Oregon breweries or the amazing selection of award-winning wineries, our McMinnville Bed and Breakfast is the best place to stay. Not only are our nine elegant guest suites extraordinarily comfortable and luxuriously appointed, but our hilltop Inn offers one of the most beautiful, panoramic views in all of the Willamette Valley. You’ll wake each morning in awe of the natural splendor and end the day with some of the most exquisite sunsets.
Join us in the New Year in the Willamette Valley for leisurely days tasting excellent local Pinot Noir, strolling among the vines, and unwinding at our luxurious bed and breakfast in Oregon. Check our availability and book your next stay today!

13 Sep How to help a person who bullies
When you see a “not-so-popular” person trip, or come out of the bathroom with toilet paper on his heel, or how about a huge booger on her nose, do you say something to help the person out or do you point and laugh?
A person with empathy feels the pain that the impending embarrassment would cause and likely will say something polite like, “Are you okay? I totally tripped the other day myself. No big deal.” Or, “Oops, looks like you dragged out a bit more than you intended,” and point to his shoe with a smile. Or, “Um, hate to say this but you have something on your nose you might want to take care of.”
A person with empathy will act in a manner that helps the person, not hurts the person. A person without empathy will likely capitalize on the situation and make fun of the person with toilet paper on her shoes in an attempt to elevate his own social status or to make himself feel more powerful.
We all have the capacity for empathy, we are born with it, but it needs to be cultivated (meaning developed). A person who bullies lacks this trait. A person who bullies may have been raised in a manner that did not activate the natural empathy wiring in the brain. Though many reasons exist for why someone may be hurting, relationships throughout the “bully’s” life were likely poor, unpredictable, nonexistent or harmful. As such, he likely has difficulty with healthy relationships while his natural capacity for empathy may have been sidetracked.
So how can you help? You are certainly not meant to rescue a person who bullies, but the more we try to encourage the following characteristics in everyone, the better off we will all be!
Increase empathy: Constantly ask the person doing the bullying, “How would you feel if someone did that to you?” Try to squeeze out every drop of emotion possible. How would the person feel? You are looking for a feeling as part of the response, not a defensive reaction.
Increase emotional awareness: This is similar to creating empathy – since empathy is an emotion – but many more emotions exist. The more we can become aware of our emotions and then find ways to manage them constructively, the less likely we are to act them out destructively. So if a person who bullies threatens you physically, then you know they are really angry. The anger may or may not be about you, but it’s directed at you and if the threat seems real, you need to get out of there, calmly.
However, if a person who bullies is saying things like, “Man, you are so ugly it hurts to look at you,” and you don’t feel threatened by that, then you can read it for what it appears to be, a pathetic attempt to gain the upper hand (the power). Once you realize the emotion behind the threat is pretty weak, you can address it, by saying something like, “Wow, you seem really pissed off at me. I’m sorry you feel that way because there’s nothing I can do about my face.” The point is, take a moment to reflect back to the person his or her emotions. Not that this is your job, by any means, but by doing so, you are disarming them. You take the topic they raised (an insult to you) and you make it more about them, but in a truthful way (“you seem really pissed off”). By doing this, you’ll help them become more aware of their emotions, you’ll deflect the mean comment and you’ll show the bully that you’re not really interested in what they have to say about you or your face.
Increase frustration tolerance: How much can you take before you snap? Did you know that some people can’t even take a minor joke? Those people have a very low level of frustration tolerance – a low ability to manage frustrations. The ability to manage difficult emotions like anger and rage can lead to a make-it or break-it lifestyle. In other words, people can turn to destructive behaviors, break the law, use drugs, drink alcohol to excess or get into fights, to name a few. Or people can take their frustrations out on other people.
How about you? For example, do you have a younger sibling who drives you crazy? What do you do about it? After all, the kid is younger and is looking to you for guidance and support. Do you model control of your emotions or do you blow up at him/her? If you tend to flip your lid, you may want to work on some strategies for increasing your frustration tolerance (because siblings can be really really frustrating!) So, take a deep breath and try to deal. Sound complicated? Click here for some anti-stress strategies. and click here to read about anger management.
What do you think is the best way to deal with AND help a bully?

Our fifth-annual TransportationCamp DC is Saturday, January 9, 2016 the day before TRB begins. We’ll provide breakfast, lunch, and an evening reception; but it is the attendees themselves who provide the content of the sessions. This is a fun way to meet people from all over the country who are passionate about transportation. Get your ideas and presentations together. All classrooms will have AV equipment. Last year we had 440 attendees and 48 fantastic sessions – see for yourself on our Hackpad. YPT will be raffling off three annual memberships to participants that use Hackpad to help document the discussions/presentations throughout the day.
This year we have a bonus event in the evening: George Mason University’s Cameron Rian Hays Outside the Box Competition. The top three finalists will present their entries in the auditorium before we throw the doors open to our joint reception. This year we promise we’ll have room for everyone to stay and mingle with hors d’oeuvres and drinks. The Outside the Box competition is free, but we ask everyone to register separately for it.
Mobility Lab is organizing the event with our friends at AASHTO, Eno Center for Transportation, George Mason University, TransitCenter, Young Professionals inTransportation, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, and and the Transportation Research Board. We also have some great sponsors on board who are helping to make TransportationCamp possible: Uber, Cambridge Systematics, Zipcar, LMI Research Institute, Car2Go, Lyft, Kimley-Horn, and GlobeSherpa.

A DTF printer is a versatile tool for printing documents. This technology prints a white ink layer along with colour ink in a single pass, making it a simple alternative to white toner. Images, logos, and text are all printable and the format supported by a DTF printer is eps, ps, BMP, gif, jpg, png, and tif. To understand more about how DTF Printers work, click here.
Micro-piezo inkjet technology
The micro-piezo inkjet technology used by the Epson DTF Pro printer delivers excellent color and black-and-white prints. The technology uses a high-frequency, high-voltage micro-piezo motor to apply ink droplets with precise positioning and the ability to produce realistic prints in a variety of tones and gradations. This printer also supports integrated wireless connectivity, which makes it easy to print from your mobile device.
Unlike other types of inkjet printers, piezo inkjet printers use both shear and bend modes to force ink out of the nozzle. Two-way expansion forces ink out of the chamber through the nozzle. Piezo printers use pressure waves to achieve the same result. They are more energy-efficient than two-way expansion. The result is a superior color gamut and excellent durability. Piezo printers are easy to set up and use and have a longer life than thermal inkjet printers.
Micro-piezo inkjet technology is used in a wide variety of applications. A wide-format printer, it produces prints in an unprecedented area of media. This technology makes it possible to print anything from a business card to a massive billboard. It can even print on plastic surfaces and even be used for indoor pictures. These devices also feature a flexible printhead.
PET transfer film
The DTF printer uses PET film to print the images onto fabric. This material is thinner than screen printing films, at about 0.75mm, and has better transmission characteristics. Usually used for commercial installations, PET film comes in rolls or cut sheets. PET films can be classified according to the type of peel they will experience after the transfer process. There are two types: cold-peel and hot-peel. Both types can produce excellent results.
This type of film is great for printing on various types of fabric. Because the film is smooth and breathable, it won’t cause any ink to scatter. This type of film is also more cost-effective than PET-based transfer materials. This method can be used for a variety of applications, from T-shirts and other fabric items to advertising shirts and jerseys. But there are a few downsides.
A DTF printer will allow you to print full-colour designs on the film. This means you can print an entire order, including extra transfers for fill-in orders, in just 10 seconds. The speed of assembly will depend on how many heats presses you to have. In some cases, you may have to hire dozens of people to assemble a single DTF printer, or you could opt for an automated system that uses DTF.
You’ve probably already heard of cold peel for DTF printers. This transfer film is a hybrid between hot and cold peel and gives bright colors. It’s compatible with DTF Inks and Powder and can be used on a wide variety of fabrics, including dark and light colors. Whether you’re looking to print on a T-shirt for advertising purposes or simply want a simple way to add some unique style to a garment, cold peel for a DTF printer is the best option.
The main difference between the cold peel and the hot peel transfer paper is that cold peel works on clear film transfer paper, and hot peel is printed on standard-looking paper. Cold peel, on the other hand, has a rough backing and allows the design to be viewed from the back of the paper. Both have similar properties, but cold peel paper has a smoother texture. It’s best to follow the instructions for printing on cold peel paper carefully if you want the design to last.
The process for cold peel for DTF printing begins with the application of transfer adhesive powder to the DTF print after printing. The medium adhesive is my favourite because it provides the perfect balance between coarse and fine. Once the print is complete, heat the adhesive powder for two to three minutes at 210 degrees, to help the film adhere to the wet ink evenly. Once you have the right mix, the film can be applied to the garment.
Thousands of color options
If you are interested in getting a DTF printer, you are in luck. Many printers are able to produce a wide range of colors. In the end, you can print any type of design in any color you want. The DTF-24H4 and DTF-24H2 printers are capable of producing brilliant digital transfer sheets. You can print single-colour labels, left chest logos, and even full-size prints. These printers use PET transfer film that has a thickness of 0.75mm.
DTF prints are unique in their soft hand, which mimics the feel of half-tone screen printing. This unique powder-adhesive coating is moisture-seeking and chemically bonds with the ink to form a bond that sticks to cotton, polyester, and other fibres. They are also highly durable, so they can last a long time without fading. The DTF print is also easy to care for, and its durability is unmatched.
DTF printers are an excellent choice for businesses that need to print on a wide variety of materials. The versatility of this technology means that you can print on almost any material you need. Even leather and polyester are suitable for DTF printing. You can also choose between a black or white textile or a light or dark colored one. And as you can print on almost any material, you can enjoy thousands of color options.
If you are looking for a low-cost DTF printer, there are several things you should know. While DTF printers use several technologies to produce good-quality prints, their prices vary. The supplier pays higher prices if they have to provide better service and longer warranty periods, and that cost is passed on to the consumer. You can find affordable DTF printers from some sellers, while others sell expensive models with short warranties and poor services.
If you want to design clothing and t-shirts, the DTF-24H2 is a great choice. The printer prints brilliant digital transfer sheets, including single-colour T-shirt labels and left chest logos. With a width of 297mm x 420mm, it can print on most types of garments. The machine works with CMYK inks to create vibrant designs. The DTF-24H2 is capable of heat-pressing fabric and can also produce full-size prints.
A DTF printer needs software to work properly, so the software that comes with it is important. It can affect the color performance, ink print characteristics, and final print quality. To manage CMYK and white inks, you need specialist RIP software, which controls color profiling, drops size, and ink levels. If you are planning on using a DTF printer for apparel printing, it’s a good idea to read product reviews before buying one.
A High volume DTF printer can produce 36 men’s T-shirts in an hour. Its ink cartridges are compatible with a variety of substrates and cost between ten and fifty cents per garment. DTF printer ink is available in bulk bags or in individual 220-millilitre bottles. The printer’s versatility also makes it a viable option for smaller businesses. Depending on your needs, you may find that the DTF printer is the best solution for your business.
Unlike conventional inkjet printers, high-volume DTF printers can produce clear, high-quality prints in a shorter amount of time. They also produce a minimum of waste. Unlike traditional inkjet printers, high-volume DTF printers can be operated by one operator. Despite its speed and low maintenance, DTF printers can print hundreds of transfers in a single run. In addition, many of these printers can also be converted to semi-automatic setups.
A High volume DTF printer can save your company time and money. The printer’s high-speed conveyor pushes the film through a belt dryer. After the film has been cured, it is rolled up into another tube. The high-speed machine is a powerful, efficient option for apparel decorators. Its two-head technology enables it to print hundreds of transfers in a short period of time.

Hey, I’m Zathong and this guide is about ColossusBuild in Marvel Super War.
Best Colossus build guides for Marvel Super War 2024. I works hard to keep my’s Marvel Super War builds and guides updated, and will help you craft the best Colossus build for the meta. Learn more about Colossus’s abilities, Items, Power core & Tactic.
Considering he only has two skills plus the Ultimate.
Skill 1 has a very short range
Colossus has to get close to his target in order to start the fight.
Colossus should play somewhat defensively during the first few levels. he isn’t as powerful as most other tanks at the very start of the match.Once you reach level 4 and unlock the Ultimate, you can start playing more aggressively.
Mid – Late game:
Colossus should stick with the rest of the team and be on the frontlines. However, unlike most other tanks, Colossus doesn’t have a clear role.
He isn’t a defensive tank, like Ronan for example, since he has very little cc against single targets. This means he will have trouble stopping a good jungler that dives into the backline.
On the other hand, he isn’t a pure initiator tank, like Hulk or Thing.
Colossus is a Tank/Support Marvel Super War, and he can be used in both top and bottom lane.

A glycemic index chart shows how the carbohydrates in food can affect your blood sugar. Foods are assigned a value between 0 and 100, based on how quickly they cause blood sugar levels to rise. The higher the number, the faster your blood sugar goes up.
Those with a high glycemic index (GI) are quickly digested and absorbed, leading to larger spikes in blood sugar.
Glucose, a simple sugar, tops the list with a glycemic index of 100. But refined grains such as white bread fall into the high GI category, as do processed foods — like sodas, snack foods, and many breakfast cereals.
In general, whole grains such as oatmeal and whole-grain pasta have a medium glycemic index, leading to moderate rises in blood sugar.
However, the scores you’ll see on a glycemic index chart are not the whole picture when it comes to your personal responses to food.
ZOE runs the largest nutritional study of its kind, and ZOE scientific advisory board member Jennie Brand-Miller — Professor of Human Nutrition at the University of Sydney — is a world leader when it comes to studying glycemic index.
ZOE’s research has shown that different people’s blood sugar responses to the same foods can vary significantly. There are also a number of other factors involved in how your body processes food.
The ZOE at-home test analyzes not only your individual blood sugar and blood fat responses to what you eat, but also the trillions of microorganisms in your unique gut microbiome, which impact how you metabolize food.
The ZOE program gives you personalized scores for hundreds of foods and suggests different food combinations, which can also change your body’s responses.
You can find out more by taking a free quiz.
Glycemic index charts
A glycemic index chart ranks common foods based on their glycemic index values and groups them as low, medium, or high glycemic foods.
Foods with a glycemic index of 55 or less are considered low glycemic foods, foods rated 56–69 are in the medium range, and those with a glycemic index of 70–100 are considered high glycemic foods.
You can see examples of approximate scores for common foods in the glycemic index charts below.
However, the scores may vary between different products and cooking methods. You can check some specific products here.
Low glycemic index chart
Foods that fall into the low glycemic index category include:
|yogurt (no added sugar)||21|
Medium glycemic index chart
Foods with a medium glycemic index score include:
|cane sugar (sucrose)||60|
|whole wheat pasta||59|
High glycemic index chart
Common foods with high glycemic index values include:
|cheese puff snacks||70|
|cornflakes (breakfast cereal)||80|
|rice, white jasmine||82|
Why blood sugar responses are important
Increases in your blood sugar after you eat can be followed by dips.
Small changes in blood sugar are a normal part of how your body responds to food, but larger spikes and “crashes” can be a problem.
In the short term, blood sugar crashes can leave you feeling tired or low in energy. ZOE’s research has also shown that they can make you hungrier and lead to you eating more.
But over time, these large changes have more serious health implications. If you regularly experience blood sugar spikes and crashes, it can increase your risk of chronic inflammation and metabolic illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

There’s more to your food responses than the GI
Glycemic index values for foods don’t apply equally to everyone.
While they may give you a broad idea of what could happen to your blood sugar when you eat certain things, they don’t take into account the differences between individuals or other factors that affect how your body responds to food.
Research has shown that glycemic responses to the same foods can vary significantly between people.
For example, in one study, there was as much as a 25% difference between how the participants’ blood sugar levels changed after eating white bread.
And ZOE data have shown similar variations between people. Below, you can see the difference between a moderate and high blood sugar response when two different people ate a banana.
What’s more, glycemic index scores only account for what happens when you eat a particular food by itself. They don’t look at how foods interact to affect your blood sugar when they’re eaten together in a meal.
And, of course, glycemic index values are only related to changes in your blood sugar levels, not your body’s other important responses to food.
At ZOE, we run the largest nutrition study in the world, with over 15,000 participants so far. Our data have shown that everyone responds differently to foods.
Your blood sugar responses are only one aspect linking how your body processes foods to your overall health. Our research shows that your blood fat responses and the makeup of your gut microbiome also play important roles.
The ZOE at-home test can tell you how different foods impact your blood sugar and blood fat, as well as your gut health. Based on your unique results, the ZOE program then gives you personalized scores for hundreds of foods and shows you how they work in combination for your body.
You might be surprised at your recommendations. Just because a food has a higher glycemic index value, doesn’t automatically mean it’s not good for you.
Take a free quiz to learn how ZOE can help you.
Glycemic index charts can give you a broad idea of how a particular food might affect your blood sugar.
Each food has a score between 0 and 100, based on how fast it causes blood sugar levels to rise, on average. Based on this score, it’s either in the low, medium, or high glycemic foods group.
Lower glycemic foods generally lead to more gradual rises in blood sugar, while high glycemic foods can cause levels to spike and then crash. If these crashes happen regularly, they can increase your risk of illnesses like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
However, the glycemic index scores of individual foods can depend on particular brands and cooking methods. And glycemic index scores don’t take into account how combinations of foods affect each other when you eat them together.
Perhaps most importantly, glycemic responses to specific foods also vary significantly between people.
At ZOE, we know that everyone responds to foods differently and that your blood sugar is only one part of the picture.
Our at-home test kit analyzes your blood sugar and blood fat responses, along with your gut health, to help you choose the foods that are best for you.

History documents the first lotteries as far back as the Middle Ages. George Washington used a lottery in the 1760s to pay for the mountain road through Virginia. Benjamin Franklin promoted lotteries during the American Revolution, primarily to fund cannons. Later, John Hancock ran a lottery to raise money to rebuild Faneuil Hall in Boston. In the 1820s, lottery games fell out of favor and were considered harmful to the public. In 1832, the Boston Mercantile Journal reported 420 lotteries in eight states.
Lotteries have a long history in Europe. Early European lotteries, known as ventura, were held by rich noblemen as an amusement during dinner parties. Prizes were often expensive dinnerware. But the excitement was still a draw, and ticket holders were sure to win something. The first known lottery records from the 16th century include a drawing for money held by Roman Emperor Augustus. The money from the lotto raised money for repairs in the city of Rome, and the winners received articles of unequal value.
In the Middle Ages, the practice of dividing property by lot was widely used for charitable purposes. In the Old Testament, Moses was instructed to take a census of the people of Israel and divide the land by lot. Lotteries were also popular among Roman emperors. Lotteries were used by the Romans to give slaves and property to their citizens. In the United States, lottery games were a common source of public funding. However, between 1844 and 1859, ten states outlawed lotteries.
Lotteries have become popular as fundraisers. Many lotteries have teamed up with a brand or sports franchise to offer large prizes. For instance, the New Jersey Lottery Commission recently announced a Harley-Davidson motorcycle scratch-off game prize. A similar lottery was held for the retail industry. In both cases, the winner will get an opportunity to select the best college talent. The lottery has become a popular pastime for many people.
While there have been many controversies over the years concerning financial lotteries, many people have embraced them for the social and economic good it brings. Financial lotteries raise a significant amount of money for government-sponsored projects. Despite these controversies, the vast majority of lottery players are responsible, contributing to the development of their communities. And by choosing to gamble responsibly, they are creating a positive social change. With all this in mind, lottery winnings are a great way to create social change.
Initially, lottery games were only simple raffles, with the winner waiting weeks to claim their prize. Then, the lottery fever spread to the south and west, and by the end of the decade, seventeen states and the District of Columbia had their own lotteries. Today, you can find lotteries in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and more. It is easy to see why people enjoy playing the lottery! After all, you never know what it may bring!

Well, I can hardly believe it but it's been A YEAR since I started this blog! Happy anniversary to me! Which means that, while I haven't counted, I must have answered a couple hundred questions by now...and I hope that I've proven myself helpful and put some good juju out there in the world.
I think, as recent posts have indicated, that I'm going to shift gears a bit from here on out. I feel like I've answered just about every question related to writing that's humanly possible, so I want to expand the blog a bit to discuss a wider range of industry and writing-related subjects. Is that cool with you guys?
I'll definitely still be answering questions: so please don't think that you can't email me with them. You can, and I'll happily post them, along with my insights. But, well, I have other things to say, dammit, and I want to say 'em! :) This also might mean that I'll slow down the pace of the blog, but we'll see how it goes.
So from here on out, that's what we'll be doing. Cool?
In the meantime, if you haven't bought TDLF, why not??? Here's another rave review from the Tampa Tribune, along with another one from Coffee Time Romance. Now, explain to me again what you're waiting for? Buy it here. Buy it now.

NEW YORK — Sitting inside of a small cubicle adjacent to the media information desk at the US Open, the German doubles team of Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies had just wrapped up its first-ever victory at America’s Grand Slam and were asked if they have nicknames for each other, either on or off the court.
Nothing came to mind off the bat outside of their common nickname amongst German fans, Kramies (a portmanteau of their last names), but, after a few seconds of ruminating, a few interesting “nom de doubles tennis” ideas soon sprouted up from both Krawietz and Mies.
“We are like fire and ice,” Mies exclaimed in talking about their personalities. Seconds later, Krawietz talked about the team’s strengths and both compared themselves to one of Germany’s most popular exports.
“[We’re] German machines, like the German cars,” Mies said facetiously before admitting that he actually drives an Audi while Krawietz drives a BMW when they are back home in Germany.
Whether it’s “Kramies,” “Fire and Ice” or “Audi and BMW,” it is this instant chemistry that has allowed Krawietz and Mies to make one of the more unexpected meteoric ascents that doubles tennis has seen in recent memory.
Krawietz and Mies are only completing their first full season on the ATP Tour as a tandem in 2019, yet they have a Grand Slam title to show for their efforts, winning at Roland Garros in June. It is only fitting that their remarkable 2019, one that could be punctuated with a US Open title after they reached the semifinals on Tuesday, also started with a championship while in the Empire State.
In February, Krawietz and Mies did not drop a set in winning the New York Open on Long Island, just their fourth-ever tour level event as a pairing. Not bad for a team that officially joined forces while toiling away in the Challenger level in August 2017 and, after a knee injury to Mies ended his year soon after, did not compete again until April 2018.
“The vibes are very good, of course, to come back to New York,” said Krawietz. “Our first title in New York was very special for us. We played pretty good tennis. [It was] a pretty good tournament in the beginning of the year. It was very cold, but we are used to it in Germany. Now we’re coming back to New York and it’s very special, of course.”
More than the good vibes that emanated from winning the New York Open, the title in February also showed both that they had officially arrived on the big stage.
“It was such a big moment and a big relief. That really showed us that we belong to the ATP Tour,” Mies said. “We are just coming from the Challenger Tour and making the next step and getting into more ATP events at the start of the year. We won one title right away so that gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. And that, of course, helped us also for the French Open.”
Though unseeded in Paris, Krawietz and Mies were undaunted, carving their way through the field before taking the French Open title, beating the all-French pairing of Fabrice Martin and Jérémy Chardy in the final. In winning the championship, Krawietz and Mies became just the third team in men’s tennis history to win a Challenger event and a Grand Slam in the same year.
Pulling off the double play of Challenger and Grand Slam titles in a calendar year highlights the difficulty that almost all players have in making a name for themselves in doubles on the professional level. Most teams have to hone their craft for years in the Challengers, hoping to develop the chemistry needed to earn enough points to take the next step to the big leagues. Others in the Challenger level end up partnering with established ATP Tour veterans who are ranked high enough on their own to earn places in top-level events.
To say that Krawietz and Mies earned their spot at the top of the tennis game is an understatement.
“It’s not normal that you play with a guy and you start winning right away,” Mies said. “You have to find the right chemistry to feel comfortable on the court, but we felt comfortable playing together from the first tournament together at the Challenger level. We had good results right away and that, of course, helps your confidence, and we built on that.
“We’re different players, we’re different characters but it just clicks. And it clicked,” Mies continued.
Though their chemistry blossomed on the Challenger level and carried itself onto the ATP Tour, Krawietz and Mies still found the adjustment to the big show very tough despite the near-instant success, especially when going up against teams in which both players are doubles specialists.
“We didn’t play so many doubles teams and we [felt] comfortable against the singles guys,” Mies said. “The singles guys that play doubles, we have a good plan for that because they don’t cross so much, they play simple with their tactics and you can return more relaxed because they’re not going to cross so much. You can go hard at them at the net. They usually don’t volley as well as the doubles guys.
“Against the doubles teams, we had to find solutions. Before, it was not easy when they play a lot of I-formations and you don’t know where they serve, where they go at the net. We had to figure that out more.”
Soon enough, Krawietz and Mies did make those adjustments, and it has been their opponents who have had to deal with figuring out how best to play against the team what went from being ranked below 130 in the rankings to being championship threats every time they enter a tournament field.
“Andy is unbelievable at the net. He has the best reactions,” Krawietz said. “I feel good on my serve. I feel very comfortable on my serve, so I have to hit the right spots and then he can cover the good spots. We have no big weakness so we can improve, of course, here and there. But it’s a good thing that we both serve good, return well, solid overall.”
Their contrast in games is only superseded by their difference in personalities, though the differences are what allow Krawietz and Mies to be on the same page on the court.
“Kevin is more a relaxed guy, a little bit more calm. I’m more of an emotional guy, an emotional player,” Mies said. “It’s a little bit like fire and ice. When I’m a bit too emotional, he calms me down. When it’s close, he’s always very relaxed, and it helps me to relax. When he’s a bit too relaxed and he’s a bit low with the energy, I can push him up.
“In doubles, you have to bring good energy and we push each other to the limit,” Mies continued.
Krawietz and Mies have pushed each other beyond the limits of what is possible for doubles teams with their immediate success. Now if they can only push each other to come up with the perfect nickname.

One thing that keeps me moving at work is when my students win awards or medals at competitions. Although I'm not the one who train them, there is always a sense of pride when I see them winning stuff. Deardo always say I'm so patriotic about my company, but the truth is, I'm actually very proud of the students, not the company.
So I've decided to tell you guys about this very interesting lunch date I had with some colleagues from other departments the other day. It was a lunch at Truffles Restaurant, the usual restaurant where the students cook and serve their customers like us. But that day we went because it was the Advanced Diploma class, which means these students are the ones who concentrate in cooking a lot, which also means food they serve should be better than the rest lar! Basically I jumped into the opportunity once I heard there were lobster served that day! :p
Let's see the dishes on the menu...Our appetizer which I forgot what they are called...
The Garlic Soup.
Deconstructed Lobster Thermidor with Nicoise Salad.
Beef Wellington, Vegetable with Confit Garlic Bernaise Sauce and Beef Juice.
Ocean Trout in Butter Sauce with Polenta and Confit Onion.
Apple Sorbet with Brittany Prune Castard.
Basically the class has a theme where the meal was inspired Chef Paul Bacuse, a French Master Chef. So obviously those were French dishes, which you and I might not really used to. I mean, first thing I saw in the menu... Garlic Soup? Er... Wouldn't it be very smelly? Well surprisingly it doesn't give you any bad breath at all! It was really smooth and comforting to the stomach! Then the lobster salad really blew me off! Ignore the green salad at the side (which was quite a normal salad), the baked lobster was surprisingly fresh and tastes really mama mia~!!! :D Then we were given a choice of beef or salmon as our main course in which I had the salmon, which was yummy but a little oily. I can actually see them enjoyed the beef more actually, although I can see some of them are a bit overcooked... Hey they are students lar, they are allowed to do mistakes, okay? As for dessert, I love the apple sorbet but I'm definitely not a fan of the prune custard... Er simply because I'm not a fan of prune perhaps?Macaroons to go with tea and coffee.
And then we had macaroons to go with tea and coffee! For your information, our own Chef Karam is the one chef who is super famous with his macaroons! And that day the pistachio macaroons really drove me crazy! Not only the texture remains chewy yet not sticky to the teeth (which is basically my perfect standard of macaroons), they weren't too sweet to my liking too! NICE~! :DSay hi to Evelyn who likes to do funny stunts and Vivien who looks at her awkwardly...
The ladies who enjoyed their lunch.
Even for the Advanced Diploma class, we only need to pay RM10 for all that amount of food!!! How cool is that, right? And I'm seriously not promoting the hospitality, tourism and culinary arts school here in my blog because the restaurant isn't open to the public yet and I actually gave my honest thought about the food. I'm just sharing my extraordinary experience of having such fine-dining lunch with you guys! Of course, if you are dropping by to visit me one day and want to try-out our students' work, I'm more than happy to have lunch with you at the restaurants too! Advanced reservation is a must though!!! :)

The ability to be motivated is a fundamental part of human behavior. Without it, people would be unable to learn new skills or strive for better lives. Luckily, motivation is an internal force that can be drawn upon at any time to get us through difficult times. It can even help us achieve our goals, no matter how large or intangible they might be.
It is important for management to understand the nature of motivation and how they can encourage employees to work hard and concentrate on their jobs. This will enable them to improve the productivity level of the company. Moreover, motivation also enables individuals to meet their unlimited needs and wants. For example, they may want to lose weight or run a marathon. This desire can be stimulated by providing them with incentives or rewards for their efforts.
In addition to satisfying basic needs and wants, motivation can lead to higher levels of performance, as well as enhancing satisfaction with the work experience. To keep the motivation level high, managers should provide their employees with a sense of belonging, make them feel valued, and offer challenging work. In addition, they should provide them with opportunities to grow as individuals and as a team.
When a person feels like they are part of a team, they tend to work harder and more productively. Besides, they will be more likely to seek out challenges and become more innovative. They will also be more likely to be able to overcome obstacles, as they will have the support of their coworkers.
Keeping the motivation level high can be a challenge, as it is often hard to know what will trigger this drive in individuals. In general, a person is more likely to be driven by extrinsic forces than intrinsic ones. For example, they will be more inclined to complete tasks for the sake of earning a reward than because they enjoy doing them.
In order to increase the motivation level, it is important to understand that humans have limited willpower and will experience fluctuations in their motivation. They may begin a task with high activation, but will eventually hit a point of inertia where they are no longer willing to continue working toward their goal. It is therefore important to set attainable goals, which will motivate them to continue working on the task. This can be done by creating a timeline and using visual cues to track progress. It can also be helpful to reward yourself with small accomplishments, which will trigger the reward centers in the brain. For instance, if you are working on a large project, it might be helpful to break it down into smaller tasks and reward yourself with a coffee or a movie as soon as you complete one of these milestones. In this way, the progress will seem less daunting and more obtainable. This will make you feel a greater sense of achievement and help you to stay on track.

The intricacy of a single winding pathway that twists its way from the entrance to the centre and back to its start is the inspiration for Black Coffee Winter 2018.
The journey explored in this collection by Jacques van der Watt is one of introspection, of being replenished by the movement to a personal centre and back to the start with a fresh perspective.
The instance of reconnection is brought about by the comfort of symmetries and patterns discernible even in a world that hums with chaos.
They are to be found in the brickwork of pavements and in architectural structure, in skylines, and windows that shimmer in the late afternoon sun. To notice these one must walk, listen and look amid the rush, and push, and inevitable flow of urban life.
From ancient mosaic floors to sacred stained glass windows and labyrinths, contemporary surfaces and clean silhouettes, the collection is a study of pattern exploration. The new fluidly mixes in with elements that speak their history.
Jacques van der Watt uses embroidery and laser-cutting techniques, adding a unique Black Coffee twist to showcase the superb qualities of South African Merino Wool. Yesterday and the now are interwoven to create a series of unique garments. Heritage wool cloth is mixed with sheer mesh, alternating softness and hardness, in a play between modernity and tradition. Poms-poms handmade from pure Merino Wool add a three-dimensional texture to the pieces. “Wool is a fibre that is natural and honest. It has integrity,” says van der Watt.
Jacques van der Watt is the winner in the Ladies Wear category of the SAFW Cape Wools SA Designer Challenge.
This collection previewed at SA Fashion Week on 27 October 2017

Give it a watch. Tell him he’s pretty.
Monday, January 8, 2018 was Luke and my first anniversary. It was a roughly 3-day celebration.
On Sunday, we spent roughly the whole day together after I got home from work at noon. We went to a couple grocery stores then made potato pancakes for dinner because we are #PotatoPancake. The recipe that we followed (mostly) can be found here. We cut it down greatly because we only had two medium-sized potatoes and are only two people. We also added paprika because Luke loves paprika. We also shallow fried them because 2 cups seemed like they would be deep-fried and that just didn’t seem right. They were delicious but could have used a bit more salt than we used.
On Monday we (I) woke up early and hung out in the morning. We exchanged gifts. He had gotten me more because he was short on cash for my birthday and Christmas so he made up for it for our anniversary. I opened an amazon box to find a pasta roller for us to make pasta together, Egghead by Bo Burnham, and Eggsistential Thoughts by Gudetama, The Lazy Egg. I gave him a “date jar” filled with popsicle sticks that had different date ideas written on them. Afterwards, I went online to look up the sushi restaurant we were going to and find out what time they opened. We weren’t just planning to do regular sushi; we were going to do all-you-can-eat sushi. In doing my research about when the restaurant opened, I found that for $23 during lunch hours, you only got one hour of all-you-can-eat-sushi. This hardly seemed like enough of a deal since the sushi was made to order so you had to wait for it to come out to you. We almost gave up on the AYCE deal but found instead that another restaurant, Sushi Bang Bang, does AYCE sushi for $26 at lunch. They opened at 11am and we arrived around noon, after I did my hair and make-up.
Not only could you get sashimi, nigiri, and maki rolls from the sushi bar, we were able to get a number of appetizers from the kitchen as well as tempura and other Japanese entrees. From deliciously fresh salmon sashimi to hot takoyaki and pork katsu, Luke and I ate $100 or more of sushi for about half the price. We went home happy but incredibly stuffed and felt the need to just lay around for a while before either of us had to go to work.
On Tuesday, the last day of our 3-day celebration, we met with Shayla Webb at Bull Creek Park to get photos taken for our anniversary. I met Shayla at Ulta but she left since her photography business started taking off in December. Now she’s been taking photos for families, couples, and weddings and doing it very well. We were all ready for it to be a bit awkward because she wasn’t sure how to pose us and we weren’t sure how to pose, but in her telling us what to do and us being our goofy selves, we got some amazing photos out of it. We laughed basically the whole time and Shayla captured every moment and the essence of our relationship very well. It was such a fun experience too because whenever I’d gotten professional photos taken before, they were in a staged studio and this was out at a public park around nature and with a beautiful creek and waterfall. There was also a film crew in the area filming, what Luke thinks, was a commercial. They brought in potted trees.
After we left the photoshoot with Shayla, Luke and I were deciding what to eat when we got home but realized we wanted to go to Costco and get samples and $1.50 hot dogs. We got samples, a hot dog, drink, and chicken bake and also got a few groceries. Doing domestic things with Luke like grocery shopping are some of my favorite things to do with him.
Our first year as a couple absolutely flew by. We went from friends to in a relationship and moved to Austin together in 2017. I’m so excited to see what 2018 is going to bring us.

Last night, I drove home from work crying. At the time, I was rather confused as to why. I had a normal shift until the last five minutes, during which one of my managers asked me if I remembered a customer from the previous night. She showed me an email written to Ulta customer service in which the customer said that I was rude, condescending, and glared at her because she wanted to split a transaction because she wanted to give the products she was buying as gifts. In the conclusion of her short statement, she recommended that Ulta “reconsider my employment” because she deemed my behavior unacceptable there, or in any retail job. Her statements were false.
Though I do not remember exactly the interaction with this customer, I know that I was not rude or condescending to any customers. I did not glare at any customers that night, or ever. What I do remember, is that there was a customer with her name that came in. There was a customer that wanted to split a transaction to use two coupons, something I was told we are not allowed to do. I apologized and said that I could not do it. She seemed a bit annoyed but left without making a big fuss. This was not the first time that this situation occurred since I started working at Ulta in July, but this was the first time I heard something back about it.
After reading the statement and telling my manager that I was sure it was about the coupons, she told me that she didn’t think it sounded like me, and that she was, in no way, reconsidering my employment. She also added that I was not in any sort of trouble. I followed up by asking her about the coupon situation, actively trying to figure out what I had done wrong and how to fix it in the future.
We closed up the store, I got in my car, and started on my short drive home but started crying at some point. It took until Luke came home from work for me to finally understand what I was feeling. This woman, someone who has next to no impact on my life, attacked my character, not knowing me at all. Have I been rude and condescending to people in my life? Yes, who hasn’t? I will be the first one to admit that I’m not always a nice person. But over the years, I’ve tried to fix this. Other than “positive outcomes only,” the other motto I live by is simply “don’t be a dick.” Much in the same way I am fighting the internalized misogyny I have been ingrained with, I am fighting being a horrible person.
Many people will tell you being mean is easier than being nice. Obviously, if the current state of the government is anything to go by, this is true. I’ve stated this for many years in conversations with friends, family, and anyone that would listen. It is something that I preached about on my radio show at The University of Tampa. I wish I could be a bitch. You can get what you want much easier because you can step on, and over, people without giving it a second thought. You can use them, you can degrade them, it doesn’t matter. I’ve never been this kind of person.
However, I am not 100% nice. I’ve talked about friends behind their backs. I’ve not supported friends when it benefitted me. I’ve not supported friends when it hasn’t benefitted me. I have, for no reason other than I am petty and like drama, criticized people, their looks, their life choices. I am not 100% nice and I do not claim to be. Again, this is something I am working on.
This customer however, did not write that she didn’t like my hair. She did not write that I was too ugly to work at a make-up store. She did not write that I didn’t let her use coupons so she was mad she couldn’t get another $5 off of her purchase. She lied and called for corporate, and my managers, to terminate my employment at a job that I actually really enjoy. She told them that, in a heavily customer service role, I showed poor customer service.
I’ve had customers unhappy with me in this role. It happens, you can’t make everyone happy. Every other time, I’ve brushed it off. This time it stuck. It was because, as Luke explained to me, she lied and attacked my character. According to her statement, she was not unhappy with the policy, as other customers have been. She was unhappy with me. Even though I have had many customers very happy with me- a teenager hugged me, another woman brought us samples of her product (I’m not allowed to say what) because she had a fight with her partner and we helped her feel better before she went back home- but this occasion had me in tears.
This got me thinking about my future and what I am trying to do with it. Since I was young I have wanted to be famous. The reasons for this have changed over the years. When I was younger, I wanted to be famous because it seemed glamorous. As I’ve gotten older, the reason has changed to the fact that I simply want to have a voice. While this is still a dream for me (part of why I’m going to start making videos again) I had another dream: working for the Events Team at Rooster Teeth.
Not only is Rooster Teeth in the gaming community, one known to be less than cordial towards women, they are also an internet-based company, another community known not to be nice to women. This has always been a reservation in my mind, but it was one I was sure I could get past. I always thought that because a) I’d have a strong community of women behind me and b) I’ve generally had thick skin in the past, I would have less of a problem with the online abuse than some others. Now I don’t know that that is true. This incident has caused me to, once again, reconsider my life and what I’m going to do with it.
In a few days, weeks, months, I will get over this incident. I will laugh about the extreme that this woman went to to call for my termination over a coupon. I will have more amazing encounters with customers that love me and the service that I give them. I will make even better relationships with my managers, proving to them further that I am not the person this woman alleged that I am. It will not keep me down. But it will still be a fact of my life, and an event in it. It will still be something I have to think about, something that could very well shape my future. This customer was mad that she couldn’t save an extra $5 on her purchase, so she felt it worthy of her time to lie and call for me to be fired. She could have spent $0 to just be nice.
It’s been almost a month since I posted anything here. The reason- I’ve been unmotivated and quietly depressed.
Back in the beginning of October, I was feeling a mix of emotions. I knew I was leaving a job at BigCommerce, the company I was temping at, but I had an interview at Austin Community College for the Specialist of Student Life, and I had two phone interviews with Rooster Teeth for the Events Assistant position- my dream job. I very quickly learned that I didn’t get the job at Rooster Teeth and now, 6 weeks after my interview for ACC, I still have not heard back, whether good or bad, about the job there.
For about a week after hearing back from Rooster Teeth, I was crying a lot. I missed out on my dream job again with no knowledge of when I’d get another chance at it and no other job prospects. I’d still be working at Ulta, but as a part-time retail job, I knew it wouldn’t be enough. At some point in October, I decided I was going to stop feeling sorry for myself and get back at it but the next day, I was sad and unmotivated again. It was hard. I was confused as to why Rooster Teeth, BigCommerce, ACC, and anyone else not responding to me didn’t want me. I felt more than qualified for all of these jobs. This feeling stayed with me the rest of the month and is still hanging above my head as I write this.
I’d told myself that I would be productive with my free-time at home but all I’ve been doing is eating, watching YouTube and Netflix, and sleeping. I didn’t write a new blogpost in a month, I haven’t updated my portfolio website, and the apartment is a mess. To those unfamiliar with depression, this is what it looks like.
Through all of this I have kept my mantra, positive outcomes only, at the front of my mind. I have tried to remind myself that though it’s not working out now, it will. This has been hard to believe when I’ve been everything but productive, but today I feel better. Something in me flipped today and I feel encouraged to clean the place up and keep working on me, so the first step towards that was to write this post.
I’m also going to eat some of the half-priced Halloween candy Luke and I bought at the H-E-B this morning. We got a pile.
It has occurred to me in all this time that I’ve been writing “Glam Bag” as “GlamBag” and I am embarrassed… onto the products! (I don’t have a ton of photos of every product this month because I’ve been busy (read: lazy) and opened it all and got too excited to take photos before using everything. So you get the photos from the ipsy website. Some of them have my photos though!) Also, I’m trying out a slightly different format for these that make it a little longer but you get to see everything individually and separated, so let me know if this is better or worse and we’ll go from there!
The September Glam Bag
Hello September Glam Bag. It’s pretty. It is black and studded witha gold zipper and is right up my alley. The theme they were pushing with it is professional. I know black and professional are synonymous for some reason, but the studs give it the extra edge that I need for it to be something I would use as a young “professional” out in today’s world. That said, I don’t use a lot of the Glam Bags I get for anything other than make-up and most of them don’t leave my house. I have two in my purse right now- the Gudetama bag and the clear one with ice cream cones on it, because I can bring that one to Ulta. I have a number set aside to use as clutches should I find myself going out on the town and in need of a small bag for my phone and ID, but we all know I stay in most nights. Still, this one will be added to the pile of “usable” Glam Bags.
SKINFOOD Black Sugar Mask Wash Off
I love exfoliants! Exfoliants are 100% my favorite product to receive from ipsy because I love trying new ones and learning about what works with my skin, especially when it is one like this one that I have seen before but never tried because I’m cheap. This stuff is great. To start, it smells like a can of Coke with a lemon wedge in it- my favorite way to drink Coke. The downside to this is that it makes me want one, but as I’m usually using it at night and we don’t have Coke in the apartment anyways, that’s pretty irrelevant. It is also suuuper thick. This is a good thing though, because it’s thick because it’s just full of stuff that is going to clean your face. As you could guess from the title, the exfoliating particles are sugar, something that I love because they dissolve as you scrub and won’t be washed down the drain to be consumed by marine life. It also uses shea butter and macadamia oil so after scrubbing all the grossness out of your face, it won’t be left dry. That’s one of my biggest problems with exfoliants but this one has not had that issue at all.
According to the ipsy website, you’re supposed to apply the product, let it sit on your face for 10-15 minutes, and then wash it off. I don’t follow these directions. I use it like any other facial scrub and apply it in the shower, the only place I wash my face, and then wash it off when I feel like I’m done being so abrasive to my face. I’m sure if you do it the way they say your skin will be even softer because you’ll give it more time to sink in, but I’ve honestly been super happy with the moisture and softness of my skin after using this the way I do, plus I still have a good coconut milk moisturizer to use if I need it.
Smashbox Cosmetics PHOTO FINISH RADIANCE PRIMER
I was very excited to try this primer. I love my L’oreal Magic Perfecting Base primer because it makes my skin so soft but I’d heard so much about the Smashbox primers. I also tested the original Smashbox PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER on my hand one night at Ulta, and it felt like it had a finish similar to the L’oreal, so I was pumped that I was receiving one in my Glam Bag.
This one is not like the original. It squeezes out of the tube more like a cream than a gel and the application doesn’t leave the same finish on your skin, even after letting it dry. The ipsy website says that you can apply it to you T-zone if it starts to get shiny during the day and it will mattify it, but with the shimmer that is in this (hence the “radiance”) and the feel of the formula, I think I would rather use blotting sheets and a powder. I also think I’m going to stick to the primer I use now, L’oreal hasn’t let me down yet.
Teeez Cosmetics Eve’s Ready to Wear Lipstick in Romantic Red
You get a real photo of this one! I have less to say about this. It’s just another red lipstick in my opinion. The color isn’t really a true red, as you can see in the photo. The lighting in my bathoom still doesn’t show you its true color either, but it is rather pink.
It stays on alright. After it dries it doesn’t really transfer but it also looks more like a stain at that point. When I wore it to work the first day I got it, I received a couple compliments on it. Luke thought I’d over drawn my lips but it actually just made them look super full.
My favorite thing about it is definitely the container. It’s that fun all the way around, unlike other lipsticks that are too sophisticated to be fun and instead are just black… and boring…
ColourPop Cosmetics Brow Boss in Dark Brown
Brow products are another thing that I love getting in my Glam Bags because, as Luke learned quickly, I don’t like to leave the house without my brows done. Ever. Instead of give you a picture of the product, it’s a white tubed, brown eyebrow pencil with a spoolie on the other end, I just went with what it looks like on instead. I used it rather lightly because the tip is super thin and usually, that means you’re supposed to use it to make small strokes that look more like hairs to make your brows look more natural. On a day that I’m only wearing eyebrows, I could definitely rock this look. My brows still look pretty natural but are fuller and that’s what we’re all after- fuller brows. The color matched perfectly to what I usually do too. On days that I have a full face of make-up on however, like when I am working at Ulta, this just won’t cut it.
P.R.M.I.T. Beauty GELlusion in Virgo
Back to the ipsy photos. I could have taken a photo of my nails after I painted them using this, like I usually do, but I didn’t. No idea why. I am a big fan of this nail polish though. It’s a really nice dark blue, deeper than it looks in this photo or even in real life, but takes two coats to get to said richness. It also dries pretty quickly and keeps a really nice smooth and shiny finish without a top coat. I would still, however, suggest using a top coat because I didn’t, thinking it would stay since it’s supposed to be “gel effects”, and it started chipping off the next day. Of all of the nail polishes that ipsy has sent me so far, I think this is probably my favorite.
Next month’s Glam Bag will be for October and while I’m not super impressed by the bag design, I’m excited to see what new fun products I get! Until next time!
Life has been weird again and I don’t know how ready I am to talk about it all, so I’m going to talk about last weekend instead.
Friday, September 22, 2017 was Luke’s 23rd birthday. Thankfully, Ulta did not have me working that night so when I got home from my temp job, I was able to make dinner and a cake for him. You’re probably looking at this cake and wondering what in the heck happened to it. 1) The candles melted more than anticipated because he took longer than expected to blow them out, 2) it’s not a normal cake!
Luke isn’t a huge fan of cake. He likes brownies, cookies, pie, ice cream, and basically any other dessert over cake. Funfetti however, is a cake that he likes and will eat happily. Because of this, the Monday before his birthday, I went to H-E-B after I got out of the office (the only other day Ulta didn’t have me), and stood in the baking aisle much longer than I thought I would, trying to pick out what to buy. The idea I had going in was to buy Funfetti cake mix, a tub of frosting- which I would choose quickly when I got there, and then go back home to relax the rest of the night. Instead, I stood there grabbing different boxes, debating how he would feel about them, and then putting them back.
Green is his favorite color so I thought green cake would be fun. It used only egg whites. I put it back.
He likes brownies better so maybe brownies. You don’t typically frost brownies so that fun gets missed out on. I put it back.
He really likes cookies and they’re easier to eat than cake. He would be upset with me if I made cookies without him. I put it back.
I stood there for a good 15 minutes talking to myself about what birthday treat he would like the best, just to pick out the regular Funfetti cake and white marshmallow fluff Funfetti frosting. The rest of the week I thought about how I would bake the cake. We have a few different Pyrex baking wares thanks to both of our mothers, but none of them are the fun round cake shapes. I could have made a rectangular cake in the 9×13 pan, but that didn’t seem good enough and I could have just made brownies if I was going to use that.
I had the rest of the week to figure it out but eventually ended up settling for the 9×13 and a whole lot of frosting. That is, however, until I saw a video on Facebook.
This video was from Tasty? Tastemade? Delish? One of the food accounts. They put cake batter into a waffle iron. I’d seen this before but never had the inspiration to do it before this. Luke LOVES waffles. So that is what is pictured above, a Funfetti waffle cake with white marshmallow fluff Funfetti frosting and almost totally melted candles. It came out really well and then we had leftover cake waffles for a few days because there was much more batter than just for four waffles.
He was surprised by the idea and was thankful, yet again, that I was the spontaneous (read: actually meticulous planner) and cute one because he just hasn’t learned how to be that yet.
For dinner, before we ate the waffle cake, we had boneless beef ribs that I tried to cook like steak- sear then bake- and came out almost perfectly but that I thought I’d messed up royally, rice, and broccoli.
The next night we went to Red Lobster and I got them to bring Luke a birthday sundae and sing to him. Then after that we walked around a mall before going to the 10pm IMAX screening of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, getting interrupted and evacuated from the theater about 15 minutes before the movie was supposed to start for the fire alarm, and eventually getting home around 1 am. The movie wasn’t super, but it was about as much fun as the first one with a few scenes that I could have very much done without.
The next morning I worked and we hung out around the house. It was a good weekend. I was content.
My last post was over a week ago. I’d been meaning to post in this time, but life has been rather busy. Because of that, this is going to be a rather long post, but it’s going to be pretty all-encompassing. And I’ll break it down into the different categories and keep them short-ish. To start:
I got my August GlamBag around the middle of the month. This one had three different bags that you could have received and I got the one I wanted. In the bag I received two CLIV Max Hyalruonic Masks, theBalm Cosmetics theBalm Voyage Vol. 2 Eyeshadow in Willkommen, MAKE UP FOR EVER EXCESSIVE LASH Aressting Volume Mascara, Hikari Cosmetics Shimmer Bronzer in Flush, and Hey Honey Come Clean: Propolis & Minerals Face Scrub.
So far I have used one of the masks and don’t have a lot to say about it. I like these masks, they are refreshing and for at least the next day after using them, my skin feels softer and looks brighter. Since I don’t use them regularly though, I can’t really say anything more than that. I know that these having hyaluronic acid in them is supposed to be a good thing too, but honestly, the word “acid” used in the same sentence as the word “face” makes me uncomfortable. I’ll probably stick to the green tea masks.
The eyeshadow and bronzer I haven’t actually used. I swatched them, because that’s what you do, but I don’t use a lot of eyeshadow and bronzer. They just aren’t my jam. I thought the swatches looked pretty nice though.
I like the mascara. I use it with a primer, obviously, but it works. I think most mascaras work pretty well with a primer, but I have found a few that didn’t work super well, and this was not one of them.
As for the face scrub- I’ll be tossing this out before I finish using it. The description on the ipsy website says that every people with sensitive skin love it but I don’t see how. I have pretty normal skin- gets oily when I don’t wash it for a bit but is generally okay. THIS STUFF BURNED. I love face scrubs. I looooooove the way my skin feels after exfoliating. Unfortunately, after exfoliating, it felt like there was salt poured all over my face. This was not a good feeling. I don’t think I’ve ever given anything from ipsy one star until now.
I am a Blue Apron customer. I originally signed up because I was curious and with a Rooster Teeth promo code, I could get $30 off, making my first box half price. Because I am stingy, I didn’t finish signing up at that point. I held out and they sent me an email for $40 off. Still wasn’t enough. Then I got the email for $50 off and I finished my membership and got my first box. Since then I have had a love/hate relationship with them. I believe that $60 is too much to be dishing out monthly for these meals so most of the time, I’ve been skipping weeks and only getting the boxes when they’ve got meals that look especially tasty in them. Since my first box however, all the of the boxes I have received after were boxes that I didn’t actually want and only received because I forgot to skip them. On 9/1, I received one of these boxes.
I was upset a) because $60 that I was not expecting to spend was now going to be spent and b) because I forgot about it, I didn’t even get to pick which meals I received and I got the default meals, one of which was barbecue baked chicken breast, sweet potato salad, and sauteed green beans. I spent $20 on barbecue baked chicken breast, sweet potato salad, and sauteed green beans. You can’t see my face, but it is unamused.
Since the box came in on Friday morning, I was at work so I asked Luke to bring it in and put all of the ingredients away. He did so and didn’t say anything was wrong with any of them. That Saturday, we decided to make one of the meals that turned out pretty well. On Sunday morning, I decided to go through all of the ingredients, just to see what we had. I pulled the sweet potatoes out of the pantry to find that one of them had turned completely to mush. What’s worse, somehow there was liquid in the bag that proceeded to leak all over the kitchen floor. I was livid. Luke then informed me that the sweet peppers in the fridge had also looked a little funky. I pulled them out and surely enough, they were moldy. I immediately took photos of it all and sent Blue Apron an angry email stating that for $60 I should not be getting bad produce (this wasn’t the first time) and would be cancelling my account. They responded the next day saying that they credited $10 to my account and how to cancel my account should I choose to proceed that way. This confused me as I have never seen a company actively tell people how to stop being customers. I guess they have so many that they figured they didn’t need me anymore.
I have yet to cancel because I don’t want that $10 to go to waste, but I will after I use it up.
My job hunt is still active. I am still working part-time at Ulta, though not many hours. I am still working temp in the same office I have been since August and today, I had an interview for the permanent position. In about a weekI also have an interview for a different position at a different company. I don’t want to jinx any of it so that’s all the information I am currently putting out there, but I’m nervous and pretty scared. A lot of what’s currently scaring me is the potential to have to choose which job I want because I don’t know right now. I’ve been talking to many people about this and I haven’t come up with a clearer decision. I suppose that is a bridge to cross when I get there however, because I could only get offered one or neither and then all of this anxiety was for nothing. We’re hoping for a much better outcome than that though.
Besides that, I’ve been dealing with needing to get a TX driver’s license and that has been a whole process that I can’t wait to be over.
Luke and I also bought season passes to Six Flags Fiesta Texas which is in San Antonio. The passes we bought will get us into any Six Flags though, so whenever we’re home, if anyone wants to go to Great America, we are there. The passes were supposed to be a birthday gift to Luke, but I just didn’t have the money to cover it so the surprise was ruined. So I still have to find a gift for him. If nothing else, I’ll bake him a cake. I can do that.
Yesterday was the first day of school at my alma mater, The University of Tampa, and at Austin Community College, the school Luke is now attending. While he is not big on photos to document big moments, and his parents did not have to move their baby boy into a dorm for the first time, I still saw many move-in photos from UT on social media over the weekend and it made me a bit nostalgic.
Since graduation in May up until the first of August, I was not working. This was not such a strange feeling because I’m used to having the summers off. As a student for the last 16 years of my life, I’ve gotten used to being busy as can be from August to June and then being a carefree kid in the remaining months. I knew this wasn’t going to continue to be the case however, which is why it was still scary even though it felt normal.
Now that I have been working for about a month at this temp job, I feel like I am back into a routine, much like the same routine I have known since I was five. The problem however, is that a) since this is a temp job, I am very likely to get thrown out of this routine very soon and b) even if I can keep it permanently, come May/June, I’m going to be ready for a three month break that isn’t going to come.
Even while I feel that I am back into the routine, the amount of free-time that I have when I get home from work has been weird. When I was younger, homework was no big thing for me; I finished it within an hour of getting home from school and then I had the rest of the night to go outside and play with the rest of the neighborhood kids. As I got older, this playtime went away. In high school and even middle school, my time at home was to be spent on homework and studying- there was no time for dilly-dallying (I still dilly-dallied… at the cost of my proper sleep schedule).
Then I got to college and found a ridiculous amount of free-time again. I went to classes for four (or less) hours a day and then had the rest of the day to do nothing as I pleased. I started to get bored so when I found an organization that I liked, I latched on and didn’t let go for my entire four years at UT. By the time I graduated, I think I’d spent more time in the Student Productions office than in my own rooms on and off campus. It was there that I’d found a love for event planning, so it just made sense that I was going to spend every free hour I had in the office. Even if I wasn’t exclusively working on programs, I found a way to make myself busy.
Now this temp job has me up at 6:30 am and home at 5:30 pm with nothing to do until I go to bed around 11 pm. With Luke working nights, I’ve been alone too, some nights unsure of what to do with myself. Recently, I’ve been crafting, working on ideas for this blog, and other personal projects. This has been a lot of fun, but I’m still missing something (and need more money) which is why I’m so excited that I’ll be working at Ulta.
This will hopefully be taking up a lot of the free-time I spend doing little to nothing at home, in an environment that I love. Ulta is a store that I’ve wanted to work at since I could work and, though it is part-time and at a pretty low wage, it will be something to keep money coming in if I don’t make this temp job into a permanent one. I still have my fingers crossed on that though.
And now, just to reminisce, the first photo taken of me at UT. I’ve used it a lot to look back at the times, but it’s still definitely one of my favorites.
In mid-to-late August 2007, I was in an interesting place in my life. I was 12-years-old, going on 13 come November, and I was what one could call an emo preteen. I felt that the world was against me and like I didn’t have many friends or anyone to lean on or look to. One of my older brothers, Kaz, was away in Colorado attending the United States Air Force Academy and the other, Toby, was going into his senior year of high school. Knowing that he wouldn’t be around in a year to help me through the difficult time I was going through, he decided to bring me to youth group at a church that was not ours and not even Catholic.
I’d fought going for a few weeks, also believing that God had turned his back on me, but eventually caved. Since it was still summer, the “class” part of youth group hadn’t started yet so the activities for that night were to play soccer in the big field behind the church. This was a great way to ease me in because I didn’t know anyone and would have felt awkward in the class if I had just been thrown in.
I don’t remember much else from that night except that I had fun and I’d met a boy. That boy was Luke.
Fast forward through the next ten years and here we are, celebrating ten years of knowing each other and me putting up with him through all of that time. It is not ten years of friendship and definitely not ten years of being together. We have not even hit one year yet there.
I’m not going to go into the all of the details of those ten years because I think he and I would both agree that there were some times that we’d like to leave in the past. It’s all gotten us to where we are now though- living together in Austin, happy as clams… most of the time.
To go into the details would also be to invade the privacy of someone else and put her on blast, something I do not want to do. The past is the past and I am looking to the future.
What I can say about where we are now is that it is partially thanks to Rooster Teeth and RTX, and we are happy. We’ve both learned from our past experiences and are willing to continue learning. To paraphrase something Luke has expressed to me before, if we’d started this relationship back when we were so young, one of us probably would have messed it up by now and we’d be lacking our best friend, something that we’d already been through a few times and don’t want to do again.
To celebrate the past ten years, on Saturday, the first day we’d been together for dinner since we started working, Luke decided we’d have ribeyes, my favorite steak. Yes, steak is expensive. No, we didn’t buy it just for this. Steak is surprisingly cheap in Austin and as of yesterday, we’d gotten four meals out of the two steaks we made on Saturday night.
To accompany the steak, we also made garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, kale chips, and fried plantains. It was a good dinner and a good night watching Descendants 2 for the second time.
Below is a bit of a photo representation of how far we’ve come. We were babies. Now, we are toddlers.
My August ipsy GlamBag came in yesterday and I was going to write about it today, but Shaun T is trying to kill me so I didn’t get around to taking photos of it. Instead I had to tend to my legs.
If you’ve heard of the fitness program “Insanity,” you have heard Shaun T. He is a 6’0″ New Jerseian who is fit and wants you to be fit. He is a dancer, motivational speaker, and fitness coach.
My mom recently sent me a set of DVDs called “Cize” and wanted me to do them in an effort to work out and get into shape. I’ve always been a chubby kid and while that was mostly to do with the fact that I love food, it was also because working out was always so boring to me. Running is not fun. Riding a stationary bike is not fun. Riding a real bike can be fun but I’m also incredibly uncoordinated and have a tendency to hurt myself on them. The way that I do like, and have always liked, being active however, is dancing.
My mom put my in dance classes when I was little and I only stuck with them for a a few years but they were still the most fun I had moving my little butt around. Even now, I find myself dancing when there is no music playing anywhere around me. “Cize,” she said, was made up of dances and would legitimately teach you to dance too, unlike the Just Dance games that teach you some of the craziest movements and call it dancing.
I’d had the DVDs for a while but only recently just started them this past Monday night. This was spurred on by a conversation with my former roommate in Tampa, Yakira.
She and I were discussing the upcoming wedding of another friend, Alexis, and how ill-fitting our bridesmaid dresses were. I disclosed to her that I hadn’t even tried the dress on again since getting it in because I knew I’d gained weight and I was afraid of what it would look like. She encouraged me to do it anyways and my fears were confirmed- the dress zipped but it felt like if I made one wrong move, the seams would bust. This is not something you want for the dress you are going to wear to a wedding where you’ll be dancing.
Yakira had already decided that she was going to start a workout and diet plan and wanted me to join in her journey. I agreed and the following Monday I roped Luke into starting “Cize” with me. I had no idea Shaun T was the instructor and when I first saw him on my TV screen, I knew it was going to be a hard workout.
Though we were both super worn out by the end of it, Luke and I made it through the half hour dance video and felt better afterwards. The next day, I woke up to my left calf as tight as I had ever felt it. I tried stretching it out but it was still difficult to walk on. I expressed this to Luke and he suggested I focus on my right leg more for the upcoming workout. I did, and then did again the next day because my left calf was still so tight. Once I was done last night however, both of my calves were tight. Today, I’m walking very slowly and probably look funny.
I’m partially concerned that I did something wrong but am currently chalking it up to the fact that I am super out of shape and may have just pushed myself a bit more than my body would have liked.
Tonight, because I am sure I will tear something if I try to do the full workout again, I am going to try the “Eight Count Abs” video instead. If it turns out that that requires too much of my legs, I guess I’ll settle for sit-ups or something. Rest day is Sunday and only Sunday, even if it means some days are a little less intense than others.
I’ll be updating every now and then with how this fitness journey is going. Hopefully it goes well and I will have good things to say every post… it can only go up from death, right?

4 Binghamton players have made the STYFC All-Star team.
5th & 6th Grade
Nash White #22 – A true leader for his team during the regular season. After having a very successful season on the defensive side of the ball, he impressed everyone as a Quarterback late in the season. Nash is a 6th grader who will be moving up to modified next year, and we wish him the best of luck.
Aviel Velez-Pica #55 – After a season ending injury last year, Aviel came back this year with something to prove. Most offensive players wanted to avoid being hit by him, as he was one of the strongest kids on the field.
3rd & 4th Grade
Jahkai Anderson #12 – In his first year playing football, Jahkai proved himself as one of the best athletes on the field every week. As the team’s quarterback, he lead in rushing yards and rushing TDs. Pre-snap, he made sure his team was in position to correctly run the play that was called.
The STYFC all-star game will be Sunday (11/6) at Susquehanna Valley HS. Chris Streno, President of SV Youth Football, will be livestreaming the game on their YouTube page. 5th & 6th grade will start at 2pm, 3rd & 4th Grade will start at 12pm.

Posted on: 18 September 2020Share
Are you like most people, and dread the idea of having a root canal? If so, knowing more about this type of dental procedure can help you overcome your fear. To help you know more, here are the answers to four frequently asked questions about root canals.
1. Why Are Root Canals Necessary?
Before knowing why root canals are necessary, it can be helpful to know some anatomy of the tooth. Each tooth contains a soft center called the pulp. Inside the pulp is the nerve (or the root), blood vessels, and connective tissue of the tooth.
When the pulp begins to decay, it causes the tooth to become inflamed or infected. The decay needs to be removed before it causes further problems. When the decayed pulp in a tooth gets removed, it's called a root canal.
2. What Symptoms Warrant a Root Canal?
If you experience certain symptoms, such as a persistent tooth ache, sensitivity to heat and cold, or swollen gums, it may mean the pulp inside your tooth as become infected. For some people, their infected tooth starts to become discolored or loose. If you notice any of these symptoms, you should see your dentist right away to determine if you need a root canal.
3. How Painful are Root Canals?
Each year, millions of people in the United States get a root canal. Many of those who get one think it will be the most painful procedure they have ever endured. According to recent studies, however, this is not the case.
Of the millions of people that get root canals each year, only 17 percent of them said it was their most painful experience when it came to their teeth. Thanks to advances in anesthesia and pain management, most people only experience mild discomfort during a root canal.
4. What Foods Can Be Eaten After a Root Canal?
Following a root canal, your mouth will be very sensitive, which means you'll need to exercise caution in the types of foods you eat. While the foods should be soft, they should also contain nutrients.
Some recommended foods following a root canal include:
- Vegetable soup
- Scrambled eggs
- Mashed bananas
- Mashed potatoes
You should avoid sticky or hard foods, such as taffy and ice cubes. You should also be careful about eating foods and liquids that are either too hot or too cold. After the sensitivity subsides, you can resume your normal diet.

Here are the books I finished in September and October:
1. Choose Us by Caylie Marcoe
GENRE: Fiction/ YA Novel/ Romance
ABOUT: Riley and Travis have been best friends for 15 years. Travis is a pro BMX athlete, whereas Riley is his personal assistant. They are just friends. One day, Travis gets injured and during his down time, is talked into starring on a reality dating show, something like The Bachelor. He agrees to do it, PROVIDED Riley comes along as a contestant to help him weed out the girls and provide him with insight.
Guess who he chose in the end?
THOUGHTS: Sob. Firstly, this book barely passed the Bechdel Test, but I knew what I was getting myself into and was ready to overlook that. However, I expected better. I was so ready to love this book—the cute best friends turned lovers trope; buried feelings; stolen kisses… And they started so well too! But then it went downhill about 49% into the book, when the characters inorganically realised their feelings for each other.
2. The Lost Gospel of Judas Iscariot by Bart Ehrman
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Religion/ History/ Spirituality
ABOUT: The gospel of Judas Iscariot
THOUGHTS: I maintain that Judas Iscariot has been scapegoated by the Christian community. Need a common enemy? Why not that dude that supposedly betrayed Jesus?
3. Mulan (Live Action Novelisation) by Elizabeth Rudnick
FORMAT: E-book (Kobo)
GENRE: Fiction/ Live action novelisation/ Historical
fiction fantasy (Don’t kid yourself, Disney)
ABOUT: This is the novelisation of Disney’s Mulan. It includes bits and plot lines that were left out of the movie’s final cut.
THOUGHTS: Please refer to my blog post Disney’s Mulan: Honour, Dishonour, and Everything in Between
TL;DR? The book helps shed light on some of the illogical parts of the movie. The biggest one being the Phoenix—the Phoenix was supposed to act like a guardian angle, saving her and her identity a couple of time. Removing that version of the Phoenix left holes all over the storyline.
Then there’s Ramtish and Skatch, two fake monks who appear on multiple occasions. Erasing their roles subtracted a lot from Mulan’s personal growth.
4. What’s So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Religion/ Spirituality
ABOUT: Christians should practice more grace.
THOUGHTS: Philip Yancey is pH 7. Neither acidic nor alkaline. Much like C. S. Lewis, he takes a messy world and forces it into a neat package. He, also like C. S. Lewis, might start out outside the lines, but always ends up neatly within the borders. That might work for some people, but it doesn’t for me now. I propose that it’s okay to end up outside the lines. Maybe even get rid of the lines altogether.
I love that he argues for grace—if there’s one thing our world needs, it’s more understanding and more love. But he is assuming that we need grace to begin with. I mean, we all need some form of micro grace. But on a macro level… I’m just uncomfortable with the doctrine that forces us to believe that we are terrible beings. Telling us that we are fundamentally sinners that need saving—and voila, He’s the saviour—sounds a lot like an abusive relationship to me. Let’s give God more credit than that.
5. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Self-help/ Spirituality
ABOUT: How to become enlightened.
THOUGHTS: I’M WORKING ON IT.
6. A Macat Analysis of Edward Said’s Orientalism by Riley Quinn
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Orientalism
ABOUT: Edward Said’s book Orientalism
THOUGHTS: Bye bye, Eurocentric world! Good riddance forever.
7. How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Self-help
ABOUT: How to manipulate people and bend them to your will.
THOUGHTS: Click here for a comprehensive summary of this book by fs.
I know a guy that practices every trick in this book, all except the sincerity part. He has been branded a snake. He might successfully trick people he just met, e.g. new employees in the company, but anybody who has known him more than 2 seconds has seen through him.
I reiterate: great advice. But MUST be coupled with earnestness.
8. Currency Wars by James Rickards
FORMAT: Kindle & Audiobook
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Finance
ABOUT: The ongoing war of the currencies. How easy it is to screw over another country’s currency, how easy it is for said country to retaliate, and how this is going to ruin us.
THOUGHTS: Time to buy gold (and more books) before the pseudo concept of money collapses and all the dough I slaved to make just ceases to hold the value they once did, becoming what they actually are—pieces of scrap paper.
9. Ikigai by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles
GENRE: Non-fiction/ Self help
ABOUT: Ikigai means reason for living. The subtitle of the book says it: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life. (Mostly Okinawa Japanese, not just any Japanese) Also sprinkles of Chinese mindfulness.
“Life is not a problem to be solved. Just find something to keep you busy while being surrounded by the people who love you.”
The 10 Rules of Ikiga are as follows:
- Stay active, don’t retire—don’t lose your purpose in life. (Unless you, like me, find meaning in binging Netflix with an oversized packet of potato chips.)
- Take it slow.
- Don’t fill your stomach. Less is more.
- Surround yourself with good friends.
- Get in shape for your next birthday.
- Reconnect with nature.
- Give thanks.
- Live in the moment.
- Follow your Ikigai.
THOUGHTS: Fuck. That’s hard. Maybe living a long and happy life is not for me after all.

Story by Trudy Frisk
Photos courtesy of Ed Peekeekoot
Whether Ed Peekeekoot is performing at the Kamloops Cowboy Festival or at a benefit for the Society for Community Living he treats his audiences exactly the same. “You treat them as well as you can, like they came to visit in your house. I try to make people happy and make them feel good. Hopefully they come out inspired.”
Audiences are impressed by this versatile instrumentalist, singer and composer. Ed plays guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro, drum, harmonica and Native American flute. His repertoire ranges from rollicking dance numbers to thoughtful songs of the land. His work is a masterful blend of country and western, evolving aboriginal music, and unexpected elements. A guitar solo, for example, may be reminiscent of the classical playing of Julian Bream or Andres Segovia. Ed’s music reflects the many paths he has explored. “Music,” he explains,” is a bit of everything that has influenced me throughout the years.”
It began when he was a child in Saskatchewan. His mother, who played guitar in an old time dance band, took Ed with her to dances. They hitched up a team of horses, wrapped the instruments in blankets to keep them warm and away they went. His uncles played fiddle and guitar.
His mother got him his first guitar. It was hanging on the wall in his uncle’s house. Ed would stroke the strings. He always asked for it. Finally his uncle just gave it to him. His mother open tuned it, showed him how to play the first three chords, and gave him a butter knife to slide along the strings. He had his first slide guitar.
Ed jammed with his uncles on his guitar. They helped him learn the guitar but not the fiddle. They thought if they could pick it up by themselves, he should, too. His Uncle Melvin, an exceptionally good fiddle player, chummed around with Metis friends who played a lot of Metis fiddle tunes. Ed found the fiddle more difficult than the guitar to learn so he took his violin out into the bush to practice. He got the bowing down but worked hard to learn the fingering. “Nobody taught me.”
In fact Ed has never had a music teacher. He never learned scales or musical theory. When he was young he thought everybody learned to play songs by ear. He usually learned a song right away. He’d listen to his uncles, think “That’s how they did it!” and play. He refers to his songs as ” ear paintings”. “Each step was an adventure. I valued each different stage. Learning new chords was so exciting.”
When Ed was sixteen his grandfather, hoping to find opportunities for the family, moved them from the Ahtahkakoop Cree reserve in Saskatchewan to the small town of Clearwater in B.C. Ed went to work in a lumber mill there. His uncle had already made him aware there was another guitar player he should listen to, Chet Atkins.
Through Chet Atkins Ed was introduced to classical guitar, jazz and pop. He was fascinated with Atkins’ style which “sounded like two guys playing.” With his very first paycheque from the mill, Ed headed for Kamloops to a music store where he bought an electric guitar. “ It was do or die.” Ed remembers, of his decision to follow Chet Atkins’ finger-picking style.
Ed joined The Trophy Mountain Boys, a Clearwater band which played for weddings, anniversaries, and fund raisers at the Elks or Moose Halls.
Band leader, Davy Davison, an accordion player, took Ed under his wing, like an older brother, Ed says. The band had a bass player and a drummer. Ed played lead guitar and began singing then. Clearwater residents who heard the band still speak with affection and admiration of Ed’s gentle personality and exceptional talent. As well as having a play list suitable for various occasions, the band had to be adaptable. During one snowmobile dance a fight broke out at the back of the hall. Tables were overturned. As the fracas made its way toward the stage, musicians planned how to protect their instruments should the combatants reach them. Fortunately calm was restored.
After ten years Ed married and moved to Vancouver. There he got his own country-style band going. They became part of the musical scene in downtown Vancouver. It was an eye-opener for a young guy from Clearwater. Granville St. was a lot different from the Elk’s Hall back home. “ There was nobody there who was normal.”, Ed recalls.
He points out, though, that a song-writer has to have an open mind, be aware of ideas, any ideas. “ You have to be aware of looks, pay attention to something you may overhear, whether it’s on Skid Row or in a posh hotel. When people are really down and out, strong emotion comes out, you see into their spirit, their soul. People just blurt out something. That’s where great songs come from. They come from the soul. If it moves your spirit, it will move others, because we’re all connected.”
“A lot of people don’t observe, but an artist is aware of surroundings and their beauty.”
Ed remembers being on a ranch in the Cariboo. “ There was the smell of hay, horses, and leather. The sun was going down. I could hear a rumbling. Suddenly, over a huge hill, I could see dust coming up, then I could see a crowd of horses running. I like the sound of the horses calling, neighing. An artist is more aware of that kind of stuff, in fact you’re a sucker for that kind of stuff! Being aware is a natural thing; it’s not work.”
Ed points out that cowboys and traditional Indians had the same kind of life. “ They were one with the land and the elements. They were tough. Indians started owning cattle because they knew the outdoors. They were natural cowboys. Check out the buffalo hunters, riding with one string rein. “
For most of his career, Ed has performed as part of the mainstream country music community. Recently he’s reclaimed his First Nations Cree heritage. His CD “In The Key Of Cree” released in 2006 was nominated in 2008 for an Aboriginal People’s Choice Award for its Cree world view.
Ed’s great-great grandfather was one of the generation that got put on reserves. Where there had been no fences and big cattle drives, suddenly there were restrictions. He was angry and resentful. Ed’s great grandfather was still bitter. “He didn’t want the white man’s ways. He certainly didn’t want the white man’s music. I’m glad my grandfather didn’t listen to him.” Ed says firmly. “We have to live and work together. Our children and future generations are all going to have to work together.”
Ed’s music, as well as his life, is an example of the influence of cultures enriching each other. He traces the intertwined effect of previous generations and races on country music and remembers country music’s roots. One of his proudest moments was playing ‘Freight Train’ for its composer, Elizabeth Cotton, at a workshop in Puget Sound. Cotton, then in her ‘90s, praised his performance of her classic song.
“Sadly”, says Ed, “ The era of the guitar instrumentalists died out in the sixties; now there are just singers. There are still great instrumentalists out there, but nobody hears them.”
Ed is keeping that instrumental tradition alive. He has twice been nominated for Instrumentalist of the Year by the B.C. Country Music Association. Ed has had other honours. Ilsa Greenwold, instructor at the Julliard School of Music, wrote, “You definitely captured and expressed the sounds of nature, such as the wild animals and the howling wind through your musical interpretations. I find it difficult to illustrate the relationship of music to nature. I have studied music in Europe and Japan, but never have I experienced such music as your performance.”
From his home in Crofton, B.C. Ed continues his musical journey. May 28-30, 2010, he will be appearing at the Canadian Rockies Cowboy Festival in Nordegg, Alberta. August 6-7th, he will be at the Prince Albert Exhibition and Summer Fair in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Long time no see, huh? I just noticed I haven't posted for a good month, I can't believe it has been this long! I am back now though and you will see new projects on a more regular basis from now on, promise :) In the month I wasn't posting, we have been on a lovely long holiday to New York, two whole weeks in the Big Apple and it was absolutely wonderful!

This year we have been lucky to have a wonderfully supportive team of Corporate Sponsors to help fund our 2014 outreach trip to Camp Sunshine. We are incredibly thankful for their generous contributions. So if you are looking for chef clothing or cooking utensils, coffee or Korean foods, or even a culinary school, please look no further than this amazing group of donors:
Warriors in Pink powered by Ford
2014 marks Ford Motor Company’s 20th year in the fight against breast cancer. In honor of this benchmark, Aimee Bariteau, our fearless 2014 Trip Leader, was chosen as a Ford Model of Courage. We cannot think of a better choice! In her role, she was able to engage Warriors in Pink to be a major contributor to our Camp Sunshine programming. Not only are they making a generous donation but they are donating hats, t-shirts, bandanas and aprons to hand out to volunteers and campers. Ford has donated over $125 million towards the fight against breast cancer and those championing the cause. We are honored to be a part of their mission for 2014. For your chance to win the most awesome Ford Fusion ever, click on over to Warriors in Pink and join the conversation.
The International Culinary Center
The ICC has been a faithful backer of CulinaryCorps since its inception and this year is no different. It is, however, even better! ICC is generously sponsoring our Top Chef Sunshine competition and sending along an expert judge, Amanda Cann, to weigh-in on the final dishes. We are excited to be honoring a loved one close to the ICC family as part of this event by adding Swedish Fish to the brown bag of secret ingredients.
Some may say that the uniform doesn’t make the chef, the chef makes the uniform but in our mind, it’s a little bit of both. Once again, we’ll be donning sharp-looking chefs coats thanks to ChefWear.
This year we are adding a new event to our programming by offering an evening class for the camp’s volunteers. These are the people that power Camp Sunshine throughout the year and we thought they deserved some culinary love too. Luckily, HMart stepped up to the plate to sponsor a “Taste of Korea” event that includes a sampling of traditional Korean foods and ingredients along with a hands-on cooking class of Korean Rice Balls led by several members of our chef-volunteer team.
When Culinary Depot connected with us earlier this year to help fund the trip, we were touched by their unexpected generosity. Their donation will help to fund trip logistics such as car rentals, housing and meals for our chef-volunteer team. Culinary Depot sells and installs kitchen equipment that dreams are made of and is the industry leader in catering restaurant supply.
From restaurants, to food trucks, to farmers markets, swiping a card has become the easy way to get good food. BluePay, an all-in-one credit card processing company, is leading the field in merchant credit card processing solutions for clients big and small. They have strong ties to the restaurant community and wanted to help give back through support of our Camp Sunshine efforts.
The Natural Gourmet Institute
NGI is one of the leading institutions offering both professional and public cooking courses in health supportive culinary arts and theory. We have been incredibly fortunate to have recruited talented NGI graduates to be chef-volunteers over the years! Later this summer, the proceeds from their student-cooked Friday Night Dinner will be donated to our organization. The dinner will take place on Friday, August 15, 2014 at 7pm. The menu is TBD but we’ll be sure to spread the word when tickets are available.
In a restaurant, there are few things more critical than an open line of communication between the serving staff and the kitchen. Without it, orders come out wrong, guests are unhappy and the restaurant loses money. To avoid these scenarios, BePoz has created a fully functional and high-quality point of service (POS) software for restaurants. It rocks! And quite frankly, so do they.
Rusty’s Hawaiian: 100% Coffees, Inspired by a Love Story
With the Chef Alan Wong stamp-of-approval, Rusty’s Hawaiian coffee has nearly perfected the craft of growing and roasting premium beans. We are lucky to not only be welcoming the owner’s son, Rusty Obra, back onto the CulinaryCorps team this year but also sipping some Rusty’s Hawaiian coffee at camp. Plus, Rusty will be leading a coffee education class for the parents on Thursday morning. Talk about a great way to start your day!
Stonewall Kitchen has been jarring the essence of Maine since 1991. Their Wild Maine Blueberry jam is practically legend but since their inception, the have become a watershed of delectables. They are big supporters of Camp Sunshine! And if you happen to be in York, Maine this summer, definitely check out their ever-expanding roster of cooking classes at the Stonewall Cooking School.

After being involved in a serious car accident, I really believed that my insurance company would take care of everything. It wasn't until I finally received their settlement offer that I realized they were not on my side at all. This is when I got wise and consulted a personal injury lawyer. It was the best decision I could have made. Thanks to my attorney, not only did I learn a lot about personal injury law, but I actually got the compensation that I needed and deserved. I made a lot of mistakes after my accident, but I also learned a lot along the way. It is my hope that this blog will allow other accident victims to learn from common mistakes and get the information they need to be successful in their own personal injury claims.
Many injury lawyers charge contingency instead of upfront fees. Below are the benefits of contingency fee arrangements.
You Can File a Lawsuit Without Money
Contingency fees mean you don't need money upfront to file a personal injury case. Filing a case without upfront money means justice is not just for the rich. Moreover, many injury victims have other financial needs, such as medical treatments, and shouldn't spend money upfront chasing compensation.
Don't forget that personal injury cases have statutes of limitations that determine how long you have to file a case after an injury or injury discovery. If you have to look for money to file a case, the statute of limitations could expire before you file your case.
You Don't Choose Lawyers Based on Fees
Legal experience is one factor determining how much lawyers charge for legal fees. As such, you should evaluate a layer's experience when looking for a personal injury lawyer. For lawyers who don't charge contingency fees, you can only get an experienced one if you can raise the money. Contingency fees mean you can hire experienced lawyers without money.
You Don't Risk Your Money on the Case
Even if you have money, you might not want to risk it in an injury case. Consider that an injury case can take months or even years to conclude. Paying upfront fees means an injury case can tie up your liquid assets for a long time. Contingency fees allow you to pass off the risk to our lawyer.
You Know You Have a Good Case Once It Starts
Injury lawyers don't want to risk their resources on cases without merit. That is why your lawyer will evaluate your case, injuries, damages, and evidence before taking your case. The lawyer will evaluate the likelihood of winning the case and the damages they can recover.
The lawyer should be able to recover case costs, and you should get your compensation once the case concludes. As such, you can be sure that a lawyer will only take up your case if they are confident of winning and recovering adequate damages.
You Share Case Motivation with the Lawyer
Lawyers do their best to win their clients' cases. However, the contingency fee is an extra motivation for your lawyer. Your lawyer knows that it is not just your fiancés at stake — their finances are at stake too. Thus, you expect the layer to do everything possible to win your case and get compensation because they must also recover their costs.
To learn more, contact a personal injury lawyer in your area.Share

|After All, It's Only Money
February 15, 2022
Last week, I ranted briefly (and poetically) about third-party payment systems for higher education, the scenarios where someone else than the student (or the parent) covers the costs of higher education. In Michigan, and I am sure in most states, the primary third-party payment model for years has been through dual enrollment. Our state government pays the high schools to pay the colleges to cover the tuition of high school students earning college credit while still in high school. On the surface, it should be simple enough, but because the high schools get the money, they negotiate specific tuition rates. Again on the surface, understandable, but complicated when multiple colleges and universities could be involved.
The model the high schools ideally want is what is often called direct credit, where the high school instructor is authorized by the college to teach the college class. Students stay on the high school campus, the instructor is on the high school payroll, and thus arguments can be made for lower tuition since the instructional cost is minimum.
This is not Advanced Placement, which has been a perfectly good model, but which only benefits the highest-achieving students. The government is doing this to provide access for all students to earn college credits while still in high school, thereby reducing later debt when the students go on to enroll at a university or college.
It's a perfectly noble idea, even if it provides tons of headaches for the colleges (and, since I don't know, I will assume also for the high schools). As I have told parents and potential students for years, the kids are the ones who get the benefit — College credit (sometimes a whole year toward a degree) at no cost.
I have been underestimating the benefits to the kids, especially in the time of the pandemic. I found out this week that these dual enrolled students, who haven't had to spend a dime of their own or their parents' money for college credit, are eligible for relief dollars from the federal government because of the disruption caused by COVID-19.
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) II, implemented at the beginning of this year, allows "institutions [to] use HEERF grant funds to make financial aid grants to non-degree seeking, non-credit, dual enrollment, and continuing education students." (You can find the full explanation at the link above.) Apparently, since these monies are to help students with unexpected costs that arose from the pandemic (computers, additional travel, that kind of thing), the assumption is that these high school students must have needed all of that also. Think about it: a 16-year-old pimply-faced kid who sat in Mrs. Snodgrass's (his regular high school English teacher) Freshman Composition class earning 3-credits that Anonymous High School negotiated a $50 fee with Desperate-Down-The-Street College for each student's tuition is finding a check from the federal government for $525 when he or she gets home this week.
How students are to use the HEERF money is pretty vague: it "may be used for any component of the student’s cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care) or child care." I am pretty sure none of those apply to the kid sitting in Mrs. Snodgrass's class using the school-issued Chromebook. Someone's getting a new pair of shoes!
At work, we have joked that employees should have signed up for a class, to make themselves eligible for the $525. It would have been cheaper than a bonus and it would have helped some faculty loads. Too bad, it feels like buying the diamond necklace for the big event, only to return it later.
I know this blog often delves too deeply into higher education morass and turns off the casual reader. Let me try to put this whole farce into perspective.
The government (your elected officials) takes taxes (your earnings) and gives them to our strapped secondary schools (where your kids go) to be used to support college-level education (one under-funded entity) concurrent with high-school level education (see previous parenthetical element), thereby not directly supporting either, allowing kids to earn college-level credit not from the hands of those hired to teach college classes (and at most public institutions, also still using your tax dollars). So, while we continue to see Paul robbed to pay Peter, we now learn that the grant money is being given to the one person in the equation (the high school student) with absolutely no investment in the system.
It's a Rube Goldberg machine. And I am pretty sure we are the rubes.

Here's the page I created. I'm making pages for a friend who also happens to be one of my pastors at my church. She has the most adorable dogs. When I saw the photos, I thought of BasicGrey paper, for some reason. I think the distressing on their papers has a warm and cozy feel.
Here are some details. I substituted the diamonds at the top of the sketch with this tree branch and ornaments. All of the cut files on my page are from the Silhouette shop.
After I added the ornament element, I felt the page needed a little something extra, and I found this exquisite winter village die cut at the Silhouette store. I initially envisioned keeping it just white with the background paper showing through, but it wasn't showing up the way I wanted, so I backed it with various BasicGrey papers.
Here's a shot of the other side. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I used Icicle Stickles on the roofs of the houses. The snowflakes are by Jolee's.
I hope you'll come play with us. Not only is this an awesome sketch, but we've got prizes from our generous sponsors!

For the record, I told you all so. “Have faith” I said, “This winter will be great.”, and sure enough, she is. I saw the forecast call for snow and I knew it would be an incredible weekend for snow and photos, but I had no idea how big it would be. When I started to see the size and timeline of the storm, I will admit that I was a little worried. You see, between the studio and crotched mountain is this huge beast of a hill that has, more than once, been the bane of my skiing plans. If I waited to long, I might not make it up the Mont Vernon hill, if i went up to soon, I would burn out and run out of steam before the weekend was over. You see, I’m not a 20 year old college kid, and skiing powder and doing photos for 2 days straight pretty much is a Herculean effort for me. On Friday I went up, expecting the storm to hit Friday afternoon, and when nothing was happening, I made the call to head back to the studio and make the trek back up in the morning. For the bulk of Friday, nothing was happening, and I started to worry that the storm would be a dud. Well night turned to day and it was with great relief that I looked outside my window to see snow up to the door, and wind blown banks up to the window of my car. Nemo had delivered some picture perfect white fluffy goodness, and despite the road conditions and massive pounding of snow, I headed up to Crotched against the better judgment of pretty much everyone. You do not let an opportunity like this pass you by. Ever.
Needless to say, I made it one piece, I mean, I’m writing this blog, aren’t I? Now, everyone raves about “powder” but for someone like me, who is a still a pretty novice skier, powder is a totally new beast, and I needed to take a few runs to get my bearings in this massive dump of snow. My first run was brutal, half way down I got stuck in over 2 feet of powder, losing one ski in the process. Trying to find a ski in over 2 feet of snow is not an easy task. I was defiantly frustrated as well as being embarrassed. I’m skiing with these incredible skiers and Snowboarders who just attack this stuff and I can’t make it 50 yards with out bombing out. Luckily for me the GM of Crotched Mountain gave me some tips as well as short powder ski lesson that helped enormously, and after 4 runs I was able to navigate the powder with a basic level of skill.
Because of the storm we couldn’t really schedule “Model” models, but luckily for us, the staff at Crotched Mountain consists of some of the most amazing and skilled skiers and riders at any mountain in New England. We assembled a crew including the GM, marketing director, operations director, as well as sales and instructors. Again, I’ll admit to being nervous, they are throwing around suggestions like “glades” and “trees”, or hitting the steepest slopes, and I’m just praying I can make it five feet at a time, but you know, I’m playing it cool, or at least trying to. Skiing powder is hard, skiing powder with over $5000 worth of camera gear in your hand is an anxiety filled pizza slice-ing teeth grinding slide.
You could not have asked for a better day. When we started shooting we had a slow thick snowfall that fit into the photos perfectly, then after 2 runs the snow stopped and a soft diffused light started to cover the mountain, and that is the light that makes for beautiful images, because everything is lit with a soft light. Without harsh back lighting colors pop and its actually easier to track focus on the skiers. Speaking of focus, this was my biggest ski shoot today using the Canon 6D. I knew it would do great with slow moving images, but wasn’t sure what would happen with such fast action straight at camera, and another concern was the 4.5 FPS and 14 image buffer when shooting raw. So I made the decision to shoot jpegs for the larger buffer, and I knew with the diffused light I wouldn’t have to do much work to them in post. The Canon 6D performed like a champ, its not built for fast action sports, but if you pick your moments and know your settings, she can do wonders for you.
It was, hands down, my most memorable day skiing, but its also made me realize that I need to be a better skier. As I looked around me at one point, I realized that without the camera in my hand, I had no business being around such amazing and skilled skiers. I was out of my element, and at times even embarrassed by being such a poor skier compared to them. I wanted to rip through the glades, hit the jumps, do everything they could do, because they were having so much fun, and I was just terrified. Hopefully they will like the photos enough to keep me around and ignore that I’m no where near the amazing skiers and riders that they are.

Welcome winters with a colourful addition to your wardrobe. You would have been sick of years old grey and black winter clothing, just make the winters more exciting this time. Don’t forget to choose colourful stockings and tights.
Now the question is how we decide on the colour of the stockings or tights. The choice of colour should depend on the outfit you want to wear with the stockings or tights as well as on the occasion you want to wear them on.
Subtle colours can be worn with evening and high fashion formal dresses where as for casual and day wear we can go for bright colours. Since winter mornings are generally gloomy bright coloured stockings and tights will help us add some colours to the outfit and the winter mornings.Apart from the set rules of choosing the stockings or tights, it is the unique fashion statement of every individual that helps her make decisions for choosing some fashion pieces. Try and buy the colours that go with most of the outfits you have already so that the tights buying is a best buy for the season. It will keep you warm and make the winter outfits trendier.
It is also important that you make sure that the colour of the tights you choose is also according to your skin tone. The colour of the tights or stockings has to be perfect for the season so don’t forget to see what the popular colours are for the season. If the colour is popular for the season then the choice of that colour would be a safe option.
Remember for a same outfit there can be different colours of tights or stocking because if the dress is worn in the evenings different colours can be worn with them, it is said that brighter colours can be worn in evenings but in my point of view it’s better to keep the decency alive while you dress up for formal occasion that are in the evening or in the afternoon. For casual use you can go for floral print and other colourful tights.

Minimum sample weight as an attachment to the DAkkS calibration certificate
How light may be the smallest weighing object in which your balance still provides accurate and reliable measurement results? Where exactly is the limit?
The minimum sample weight protocol as an attachment to the DAkkS calibration certificate shows the determined minimum weight of your measuring device at its location of use with the relative measurement uncertainty. This is possible for various safety factors and required weighing accuracy (process accuracy) depending on the normative or quality-related demands on the used balance.
The higher the safety factor, the higher the safety in the use of the scale in a specific process. Typical interference in the use of the Balance, e.g. small temperature fluctuations are taken into account. In estimable conditions in a professtional use Environment KERN recommends a safety factor of 3. For critical processes, a correspondingly higher factor should be selected.
The minimum sample weight protocol as an attachment to the DAkkS calibration certificate includes both a graph as well as a table from which the process responsible can read off the minimum weight for the balance.
The user defines as requirement for its Balance a process accuracy of 1%. In a self-selected safety factor of 1 the minimum weight would be according to the table 0.0098 g. In the same process accuracy but with a safety factor of 5 it should weigh no load below 0.0491 g on its scale.

The customized Manual skinning machine introduces the relevant knowledge of the skinning machine!
The peeling machine adopts an open silo, which can feed in from one end and discharge at the other end. It overcomes the shortcomings of the existing drum-type peeling machine for feeding, discharging, and segmented working methods, and has high working efficiency.
Do you really understand the peeling machine? Let’s follow the customized Manual skinning machine editor for a simple understanding!
1. The peeling machine adopts an open silo, which can feed in from one end and discharge at the other end. It overcomes the shortcomings of the existing drum-type peeling machine of feeding, discharging, and segmented working methods, and has high working efficiency.
2. Due to the impact of the teeth on the wood section, the wood section not only circulates in the casing, but also revolves around itself. Therefore, the efficiency of the wood peeling machine is high, and eucalyptus, poplar and other difficult-to-peel tree species are better. The peeling effect is more than 95%.
3. The wood debarking machine is highly adaptable to wood. It can debark wood sections of different tree species, diameters, length and shape of the wood debarking machine manufacturer. Because the wood section rotates and irregularly beats, the concave part of the wood section is bent. It can also make good contact with the peeled teeth. Therefore, the stripping static rate of curved logs is much higher than that of other drum types.
4. Because of the huge housing of the wood peeling machine, it consumes less energy, has a low failure rate, and has a small maintenance workload. The vibration and noise are much lower than those of the drum peeling machine. The wood peeling machine can be grounded. Production, even without installing the base, easy to use.
In summary, the editor of the customized Manual skinning machine tells: about the relevant knowledge of the skinning machine, I hope you can learn more.

Obsessed With Showing Pink!
Czech cutie Daisy Dolce poses in her animal print bra, panties, and garter belt “skirt”, squatting next to a bed and spreading her pussy wide right from the beginning. Here’s a girl who wants you to savor, study, and admire her pink! Then she stands up and takes her 38C boobs out of her bra and turns around to showcase her round, plump ass. Kneeling on the bed, she spreads her pussy in the doggie position, then lays on her side and shows her pink that way. Removing her bra and garter belt skirt, she pulls apart her butt cheeks and shows us her pink pie from behind; then she lays across the bed on her back, wets her fingers with a naughty look in her eyes, and opens her snatch yet again. She just can’t stop opening that hot little peach! Lifting up her legs, she gives us her widest spreads of all, almost as if she’s inviting us to dive in like it’s a swimming pool of snatch! You think she’s inviting us to slip her a few hard inches??

Some people want to go beyond the simple beauty of the greenery, and wish to impose order upon the more fluid shapes of nature, thus creating something that’s a work of art and a celebration of precision. It is this precision that forms the basis of formal garden design. If you have a desire to include a formal garden design in your own home garden, it helps to know where to start.
Clean Lines Are Important
A formal garden design in a landscape typically is achieved by placing plants to conform strictly to a geometric design theme. A formal garden design is distinguished by clean lines that define an area rather than natural, organic shapes. You can accomplish this by the use of tightly growing plants, hedges in particular, to define those lines. For those who are looking to incorporate formal garden design into their landscape, the simplest way to get started is to plant a hedgerow around a flower bed, enclosing your plants while using the hedge to provide a border. Another way to achieve a formal appearance is to repeat identical planting beds, color schemes or sculpture along an axis. Repeating a plant in a grouping or as a hedge, or using the same plant throughout a garden also are common design techniques used to achieve a formal look.
Accentuate The Pattern
A formal look also is usually based on classic design concepts such as symmetry. Symmetry means lining an axis such as a walkway or strip of lawn with the same type of plants. As you grow more proficient in the substantial upkeep that a formal garden design requires, you may wish to find ways to further highlight those lines. This is where paving and gravel can come into play, using them to fill negative spaces, defining walkways and even creating interplays of color that work with the plants used in your informal garden design. If you get to the point where your formal garden design is incorporating these elements, you’ll probably have something that looks like a stunning, small park.
Plant selection important because some plants such as lynden and ornamental pear have a uniform appearance that naturally support a formal look. Evergreen plants such as spruce or white fir also have a consistent appearance that can create a dramatic, formal look. Plants with a consistent appearance also require less maintenance such as shearing and trimming.
A feature in many intricate formal garden designs is topiary. Where sculptures are created out of tight evergreen bushes or hedges. While you certainly wouldn’t expect someone new to topiary to suddenly start crafting elaborate sculptures out of the hedges, the process of coaxing the hedges to define the lines of your garden, in essence, contains the basics of topiary. If you do want to somehow incorporate this in your formal garden design, you should keep in mind that doing so requires patience and a steady hand when cutting.
For a basic topiary design to add to your formal garden, try using techniques to coax smooth curves in your hedges, helping the shape of your garden to flow. Or, if you still have something that’s got a lot of right angles and corners, start growing shapes at the corners to add decoration; think of the ornaments you see at the corners on fancy staircases and molding in architecture. By incorporating topiary into your formal garden design, you can take basic lines and create art, all adding up to a beautiful, green space in your home.
Gardening for most of us can be a task that is difficult, but one that slowly rewards us only after the coaxing and nurturing plants to create something beautiful. Stay true to the task, take a step and the next will be revealed.
