Espadon (“Swordfish”) is a French submarine from the Cold War era, now a museum ship on display in Saint-Nazaire.
Other Saint-Nazaire Posts
History of submarine Espadon
She was built at the Augustin Normand shipyards in Le Havre in 1958 and commissioned into the French Navy in 1960. She was the fifth of six Narval class submarines, the first generation of new high-performance French submarines built after the Second World War.
Her early years were troublesome. She suffered a number of accidents. In 1961 she was a target for mock torpedo exercises; successful excercises as it turned out because two practise torpedoes (inert) managed to disable her by hitting her propeller.
Then, a few months after her propeller was repaired she collided underwater with another submarine causing extensive damage to her bow and her sail.
But her claim to fame was an arctic patrol under the pack ice in the Norwegian Sea with her sister ship Marsouin in May 1964.
The Narval class subs had an excellent performance for their day. They could remain submerged at depths down to 200m , for between 5 – 6 days before needing to recharge. On the surface they could travel at 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph), and even faster underwater: 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph). Their long range (15,000 nautical miles at 8 knots), combined with their highly sophisticated detection equipment ** and relatively silent propulsion system made them perfect for their role as deep sea patrol vessels.
After a two year refit between 1966 to 1968, Espadon spent the remaining 17 years of her career patrolling from the West Indies to the Mediterranean, and from the Arctic to sub-Sahara Africa. In total, she completed 2,561 days at sea (33,796 hours underwater) and sailed 360,547 miles, the equivalent of 17 times around the Earth.
Espadon was decommissioned in 1985 and on 10th September that year she departed her base at Lorient and towed to Saint Nazaire to become the first French submarine to be opened to the public.
Espadon, the museum
When Espadon was put on display in the fortified lock at Saint Nazaire, they had to make her accessible for visitors. Like many/most museum submarines, that meant cutting access doors at each end of the hull. Usually that’s easy; you just cut holes in the side (eg. HMS Alliance Gosport, U-505 Chicago, U-995 Kiel) but Espadon is ‘wet-berthed’. She’s the only one of four French submarine museums that is floating. That has its disadvantages.
It means the doors have to be cut in the top, so visitors have to negotiate steep stairs to get in at the stern and out at the bow. It also means the submarine is more prone to corrosion & rust. (See USS Clamagore at Patriots Point USA… well, you can’t anymore. She was so damaged she had to be scrapped this year).
Last year the city of Saint Nazaire, with help from other organisations, began a six month/450,000 Euro (396k GBP, 439k USD) restoration project on the sixty-year old submarine, to repair the corrosion and other deterioration. She reopened to visitors in July 21.
Espadon, the visit
The museum provides proximity-triggered audio guide headphones in multiple languages and there were two options for the English audio guides when I went. For kids and adults wanting basic information about submarines, the way they work, the compartments, etc, there is an audio narration by an actor playing the youngest sailor in the crew.
I went for the other option, which was a narration by an actor playing the role of a journalist who was on board for the historic voyage to the Arctic. It was good but it didn’t really address some of the key questions I had about the design of the submarine.
The first one, and despite lengthy post-visit research and queries on naval forums I still don’t have an answer to this one (if you do PLEASE comment below!), is the totally weird bow dive planes!
Wait! Who? er …what?… why were they designed like that? …how did they operate? Were they any good? I’ve never seen anything like them, and they are completely out of the blue. The last generation of U-boat, the XXI class, were the inspiration for France’s Narval class. The French were given one at the end of the war as war reparations. The Roland Morillot, formerly U-2518, became the model for the new Narval class… but it had normal pivoting hydroplanes at the bow. So where did this pair of extending fixed blades come from?
I can see how, recessed, they would be suitable for surfacing in ice, but most traditional planes can be folded back, up, or recessed, so there’s no advantage there. I can see how by controlling the amount they are extended you could control their effect, but the angles of pitch just look odd, especially the aft down-blade which looks very severe.
A nice touch is the way signage (like the dive planes) & diagrams of key parts of the submarine, like periscopes & snorkel, are projected onto the hull.
So, down into the hull.
Access is down a steep set of steps at the stern and I was expecting to arrive in the aft torpedo room. That’s the standard layout for submarines from this era. It turns out Narval class subs, including Espadon did originally have 2 x stern tubes but they were removed during her refit in 1966 to make way for Special Forces gear and exit chambers for combat swimmers.
The next thing that surprised me the seeming absence of engines and motors. Normally you expect the diesel engines and electric motors to be accessible, so engineers can walk around them and work on them. The engines and motors on Espadon are tucked away below the main deck, with only the tops exposed. I’m sure a small engineer could get down there to work on them, but not easily.
Normally in post-WW2 submarines, the batteries run the whole length of the keel under the main deck which has the engine compartment, motor room, control room, crew quarters and torpedo rooms. The batteries on Espadon are located under the main deck but forward of the sail. That double deck space aft of the sail is taken up by the engines & motors.
In that respect Espadon is like her design mother, the type XXI U-boat, but the XXI was a two-deck submarine. The batteries were in the front half of the XXI on the keel deck and 1st deck, with crew areas etc on the second deck. However the XXI is a single-decker when you get to the torpedo & engine compartments where space is needed. So why didn’t the Narval class do the same?
That was the other thing that really struck me on Espadon. All submarines are cramped, but most that I’ve encountered feel luxuriously spacious compared to Espadon. There is a mass of machinery and equipment crammed into every nook & cranny, so how the crew managed to simply get about – pass each other in the corridor, puzzled me.
Just like every pre-nuclear submarine there’s one tiny galley, one seawater shower & one toilet to serve a large crew of 63 crew, who are of course, ‘hot-bunking’ – the off-watch crew clamber sleepily into the tiny bunks vacated by the crew going on-watch. Presumably there needed to be so many crew to operate this mass of machinery and the Espadon‘s complex warfare systems.
Here’s something else that was a mystery to me. This is a typical dive control panel (bathed in a red night light) with the two seats for the bow & stern planesmen.
…but if the bow planes are these weird fixed-pitch blades, why does the planesman controls for them (left) match the traditional pitch blade controls for the aft planes?
As you work through the submarine from stern to bow, the final section is the forward torpedo compartment*** , which is where you have to remind yourself, there was a fatal fire on 13 Aug 1963. Three crew suffered from the inhalation of smoke and toxic fumes, and a fourth died. It would have been a lot more densely packed back then with a full set of torpedoes.
Now, half the compartment has been emptied to make way for the exit stairs, and I notice there’s a barrier to keep visitors away from the torpedo tubes. After all, you wouldn’t want somebody to open one… Espadon is wet-berthed remember!
The Espadon – more questions asked than answered! But if you are interested in submarines then she’s definitely worth a visit.
* Crush depth was 400m
** Passive listening sonar DSUV2 (allows the operator to locate a noise and its bearing)
Sonars with chart recorders
Nautilus acoustic rangefinder (calculates the exact distance separating the submarine from the noisemaker, using three microphones on the bow, stern and centre of the submarine)
Two sound emission interceptors (one direction interceptor and one frequency interceptor)
*** Espadon used to have an aft torpedo compartment with 2 x tubes, but it was removed in the refit of 1966 so they could pack more gear in there.
Declaration: I was on a self-driving press trip and visited Saint Nazaire as a guest of Saint Nazaire Tourisme. Museum entry was complementary.
This can be confusing. Espadon is generally referred to as being located at the submarine base in Saint Nazaire, and from photographs it looks as if she is in one of the pens in the former U-Boat base. In fact she is in the fortified lock on the opposite side of the basin. The Germans quite rightly realised that it was pointless building an 8-metre thick concrete bunker for their U-boats if the Allies were to bomb the locks into the basin and cut it off from the sea, so they built a similar fortification over one of the locks. Espadon shares the building with the EOL – Aeolian Centre.
Entry Price (2023):
|Espadon submarine||€ 12.00||€ 10.00||€ 6.00|
|Fortified Lock Combo (EOL Centre éolien + Submarine Espadon)||€ 16.00||€ 8.00|
|Combined Ticket (Espadon submarine + Escal’Atlantic + Écomusée + EOL Centre éolien)||€ 28.00||€ 14.00|
* Reduced tickets are for students, job seekers, people with disabilities with one accompanying person
Children under the age of 4 and Annual PASS holders have free entry. Admission is also free on the first Sunday of the month, except July and August.
The four Saint-Nazaire Tourisme attractions (EOL Centre éolien, Submarine Espadon, Écomusée & Escal’Atlantic) share the same calendar. They are open on most days during the summer but as you get into the winter the dates become more specific and you need to check if the actual date you want to visit is available on the website.

Surgeons at NYU Langone Health have achieved a significant breakthrough by successfully transplanting a genetically modified pig kidney into a human recipient.
According to the Associated Press, the experimental procedure yielded positive results for a limited time period. In a pioneering effort, doctors replaced both kidneys of a brain-dead man with a single kidney from a genetically altered pig. Remarkably, the transplanted organ exhibited compatibility with the recipient’s body, functioning normally for over a month.
Dr Robert Montgomery, Director of NYU Langone Transplant Institute, expressed optimism about the viability of the modified pig kidney, stating, “Is this organ really going to work like a human organ? So far it’s looking like it is.”
Parallel to this success, the University of Alabama Birmingham released a peer-reviewed study showcasing the effectiveness of a pig kidney with ten genetic modifications. This genetically altered organ functioned optimally within another brain-dead patient for an entire week, as reported by The New York Times.
Dr Jayme Locke, a contributor to the study, highlighted the pig kidneys’ ability to efficiently eliminate waste products, such as creatinine, necessary to support human physiological processes.
Xenotransplantation, the transplantation of animal organs into humans, is not a new concept. However, only ten instances of such experimentation involving gene-modified pig organs have been recorded. Past attempts, like the 2021 case at the University of Maryland involving a gene-modified pig heart transplant, have faced challenges, including organ failure and viral contamination.
Looking ahead, the focus is on progressing to clinical trials involving live patients. Discussions are underway with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to pave the way for this critical next step. The significance of these breakthroughs cannot be understated, given the growing number of individuals with end-stage kidney disease.
With approximately 800,000 adults in the US affected by this condition, and over 100,000 individuals awaiting kidney transplants, the success of genetically modified pig organs in human transplantation could offer a promising solution to address the organ shortage crisis.

On Wednesday, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) approved a fuel cost adjustment for the month of May, resulting in an increase of Rs1.90 per unit in electricity prices. This decision was made in response to a petition filed by the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA), which had requested a higher increase of Rs2.05 per unit.
As a result of the price hike, consumers will bear an additional burden of Rs23 billion. However, it’s important to note that agricultural and lifeline consumers will be exempt from this increase. Nepra will release a detailed decision on this matter at a later time.
Authorities have stated that the increase in RLNG (Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas) usage instead of coal in May was responsible for the change. This shift was made due to the higher cost of electricity production from coal. Additionally, faults in the transmission lines have contributed to increased losses. The Gaddu-Jamshoro transmission line, for instance, has encountered five faults within the past six months.
Nepra has expressed concerns about these ongoing faults and outages in the transmission lines, emphasizing that the failure to provide affordable electricity in a timely manner is an injustice to consumers. Furthermore, Nepra officials have revealed that not only theft but also employees of the National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) are involved in the thefts occurring in the southern region’s transmission lines.

Explore the intricacies of Digital Yuan trading pairs with this comprehensive guide. Unearth the significance of this emerging financial force in the global cryptocurrency and forex markets, and prepare for a future powered by digital currencies. If you want to try your hand at trading and investing in digital currencies, specifically the digital Yuan, you can do so through https://yuanprofit.com/, a digital exchange platform.
The Emergence and Evolution of Digital Yuan Trading Pairs
The inception of the Digital Yuan trading pairs was a pivotal point in the history of the global cryptocurrency market. When the Digital Yuan was first introduced, it was a standalone entity within the vast landscape of digital currencies. However, as the potential of this cryptocurrency became increasingly evident, it began to establish itself as a fundamental element within the world of crypto trading pairs.
Initially, the most significant and most traded pair was the Digital Yuan to US Dollar (CNY/USD). This pair offered traders an exciting opportunity to engage in a market that was both new and intrinsically linked to the financial mechanisms of the world’s second-largest economy.
As the Digital Yuan began to establish itself, other trading pairs quickly followed. These included combinations with dominant cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CNY/BTC) and Ethereum (CNY/ETH), as well as with other fiat currencies like the Euro (CNY/EUR).
The evolution of Digital Yuan trading pairs has had a profound impact on both the crypto and Forex markets. Traders worldwide now have the option to diversify their portfolios with a cryptocurrency that is directly linked to a major global economy.
Detailed Analysis of Digital Yuan Trading Pairs
Starting with the Digital Yuan and US Dollar pair (CNY/USD), this is perhaps the most popular and widely traded pair. The US Dollar being the world’s primary reserve currency plays a significant role in global finance, and coupling it with Digital Yuan provides an intriguing juxtaposition of traditional and emerging financial power. Trends in this pair are often reflective of macroeconomic indicators between the US and China, making it a crucial barometer for traders who want to capitalize on economic events in these countries.
Next, the Digital Yuan and Euro (CNY/EUR) pair is a powerful tool for traders who want to explore the dynamics between the European and Chinese economies. Given the Euro’s significance in the global financial landscape, this pair offers an opportunity to understand and potentially profit from shifts in trade, policy, and economic performance in the Eurozone and China.
When it comes to cryptocurrency pairs, the Digital Yuan to Bitcoin (CNY/BTC) and Digital Yuan to Ethereum (CNY/ETH) pairs are at the forefront. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two most significant cryptocurrencies, and their trading pairs with Digital Yuan offer a deep insight into the interplay between centralized digital currencies like the Digital Yuan and decentralized cryptocurrencies. These pairs can often be volatile, influenced heavily by market sentiment, technological advancements, and regulatory news.
Factors Influencing Digital Yuan Trading Pairs
First and foremost, global economic factors are paramount. As with any currency pair, the relative strength of each economy plays a significant role in shaping the exchange rate. For the Digital Yuan, this includes aspects such as China’s GDP growth, trade balance, and monetary policy, which could impact its relative value against other currencies. Similarly, events affecting the economies of the paired currencies will also have a profound influence.
Political factors can also significantly influence the value of Digital Yuan trading pairs. Political stability, diplomatic relations, and major policy shifts can all affect the perceived value of a nation’s currency. For instance, a significant change in China’s relationship with the United States could impact the CNY/USD pair, while changes in the political landscape within the European Union could affect the CNY/EUR pair.
Market sentiment and speculation can also sway the value of Digital Yuan trading pairs, especially those paired with other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The hype or fear surrounding the future of digital currencies, technological advancements, or significant news events can drive rapid shifts in these pairs. For example, announcements regarding cryptocurrency regulation in China could lead to significant fluctuations in the CNY/BTC or CNY/ETH pairs.
Lastly, regulatory changes, particularly those directly impacting the Digital Yuan or cryptocurrencies more broadly, play a crucial role. As a state-backed digital currency, the Digital Yuan’s value and legitimacy heavily rely on the Chinese government’s policies. Any significant changes in these regulations can cause significant shifts in the value of Digital Yuan trading pairs.
By delving deep into the world of Digital Yuan trading pairs, traders can stay ahead of the curve in this evolving digital landscape. Stay informed, strategize effectively, and leverage the potential that Digital Yuan and its various trading pairs offer.

Starbucks founder Howard Schultz once was asked what made his brand one of the most recognized in the world. Without hesitation, he answered, “Authentic brands don’t emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.” With those few words, Schultz encapsulated the essence of branding.
Branding, as a concept, is much more than eye-catching packaging, clever advertising, or even a great product. The most powerful and enduring brands are built from the heart. They are real and sustainable. Their foundations are stronger because they are built on the human spirit, not simply an ad campaign. Companies that are authentic last.
“Authenticity” is easier said than done, or even defined. Components include the brand’s heart and soul, personality, and backstory. Those, coupled with a well-defined target demographic, will help a brand position itself in the market. Consumer research comes into play at all points in the process of identity creation. Consumers seek functional, emotional, experiential, and self-expressive benefits from the products they buy. One often-subconscious question lies at the root of their purchasing decisions: “What’s in it for me?” Answering that question honestly—through consumers’ eyes, not the brand’s—can help determine the “face” that will resonate most with the public.
In today’s maturing cannabis market, where acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships are on the uptick, creating a memorable brand is essential for survival. Jared Mirsky, founder and chief executive officer of branding and marketing consultancy Wick & Mortar, advises clients to invest in their brand, hype up what makes it unique, and put the brand’s story at the center of every promotional effort. “It’s so easy for a brand to feel derivative in the cannabis industry,” he said. “Cannabis is an industry that contains a ton of passion, which is transformational in creating a memorable brand. Most of the clients we work with are in this business because they genuinely care about the craft, the benefits, and the customers.”
Here we present some companies—large and small, new and mature—that have invested significant time, thought, and money in creating and nurturing their brands.
For Prana Principle, branding was not about creation but translation. The company leveraged the reputation and history of its twenty-five-year-old corporate parent, APAX Nutrition Europe Ltd. The corporation played up its European heritage—which many Americans find exotic—when it launched the American division, APAX USA Inc., under which Prana operates. “Our experience in Holland, and now in Colorado, provides the perfect synergy for innovation,” said founder and chief executive officer Sebastien Hebbelinck.
Prana Principle portrays itself as “the experienced CBD company” that regards consumers with respect. “We don’t want to just sell a trendy product at a time when CBD is all the buzz,” Hebbelinck said. “Using any of our products is a very personal choice for our consumers. We respect that. We want Prana to be a trusted name that customers believe in.”
As part of an effort to dispel conflicts between perception and reality, the company has partnered with groups including Hemp History Week, U.S. Hemp Roundtable, and Hemp Industries Association. “Through these relationships, we are working to change [the image of] the entire CBD industry,” Hebbelinck said
Targeting a precise demographic
Blake Powers and Danielle Sebastian, Korova’s marketing team, have been in the weed game for more than two decades, frequently adapting the company’s messaging to meet evolving demographics and market forces. Powers ascribes much of Korova’s success to company-wide belief in the product. “If we don’t smoke it, you don’t smoke it,” he said. “That’s what drives the brand.”
With roots in the underground, the company successfully merges the hip with the mysterious. Product packaging, with its third-eye cow and graffiti elements, is just esoteric enough to provoke curiosity without rounding the bend into confusion. “We love collaborating with visual artists to create limited-edition apparel products and incorporate our love for graffiti into every jar of our flower,” said Powers. “The [visual] elements are what draw people in. What keeps them loyal is what’s inside [the package].”
Despite its growth, the brand maintains small-company appeal by creating personal relationships with budtenders and investing in slightly wacky in-store events. The “Korova takeovers,” as Sebastian and Powers call them, often include “screaming deals” accompanied by literal screaming contests judged by the company’s street team. On those days, “loyal fans line up before the [host dispensary’s] doors even open,” Powers said. Combined with branded swag for budtenders and consumers alike, the takeovers create a priceless, almost familial link between the company and its well-defined target audience: young consumers with above-average cannabis knowledge and experience and an affinity for street art and culture.
Inspiration and affirmation
“Born in Venice Beach and raised in Palm Springs,” California brand Nativ’s message forms the core of its existence: You’re not a nativ of the place you come from. You’re a nativ of the place where you belong…the place where you can always be yourself. The words create an immediate reaction within consumers, inspiring, affirming, and creating a bond.
“Nativ seeks to nurture an easygoing, relaxed state of being,” said Inventory Manager Andrew Yeager. “We create experiences where wellness is joy.”
While the company puts an emphasis on social media promotion, it’s the endless time on the road hosting appreciation days at dispensaries that has allowed Nativ to create intimate relationships with consumers. Through meet-and-greets, the company founded a tribe of retail buyers and customers. “Nativ utilizes innovative packaging, uniform branding, and a commitment to clean cannabis to stand out in a competitive marketplace,” Yeager said. “When you see Nativ on the shelf, you know you’re not buying just cannabis but a full wellness experience.”
It should go without saying cannabis edibles companies adhere to strict food- safety standards and efficacy testing. Those, and business integrity, are at the top of KIVA Confections’ list of must-dos. But for co-founder Kristi Knoblich Palmer, community and inclusivity are at the center of everything the company does.
“In a medical or recreational market, KIVA’s mission remains the same: We want everyone to feel empowered to enjoy our product to enhance life’s greatest moments, no matter how large or small they may be,” she said.
Thus, the company reaches into the communities it serves. In 2018, KIVA mounted an onsite presence at Outsidelands and hosted a suite of elevated parties for the holidays; in 2019, the company organized a Valentine’s Day bash for influencers. “We are constantly searching for new ways to resonate with our current consumers and untapped market segments,” she said.
The company’s product packaging is outreach of another sort. Each line has its own carefully considered look designed to appeal to a subset of a broad target market: KIVA Bars invoke an eco-conscious vibe; Camino Gummies appeal to the outdoorsy-California set; and Petra Mints and Terra Bites trade on traditional aesthetics and portability. Palmer said she considers packaging a storytelling medium. “We constantly draw inspiration for current and future brand offerings from unexpected sources like art, history, travel, and pop culture,” she said.
Understanding and addressing the market
When mg Magazine featured Tripp Keber on its September 2015 cover, the energetic chief executive officer of Denver-based Dixie Elixirs & Edibles oversaw a company with a solid footprint in a handful of states that had positioned itself as one of a very few national brands in the industry. Fast forward to today and the rechristened Dixie Brands, now helmed by co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chuck Smith, remains a leading provider of edibles in the U.S., has added more branded product lines, and soon will expand its Dixie-branded offerings to six Latin American markets courtesy of a joint venture with Khiron Life Sciences.
Andrew Floor, vice president of marketing, traced the company’s longevity to understanding consumer habits, wants, and needs and then addressing those things with both products and marketing. “The infused cannabis category is driven by exploration and discovery, and our Dixie brand satisfies the needs of that consumer via big, bold flavors and colors across a product portfolio ranging from beverages to gummies, chocolates, mints, and concentrates. Our Synergy brand, on the other hand, is performance-based, crafted for a health-and-wellness consumer looking for a more holistic cannabis experience. Synergy branding is more restrained to reflect that audience and satisfies their needs through a ratio CBD:THC product portfolio that delivers true balance from micro-dosing.”
In the future, he added, “We will become even more consumer-centric, using our understanding of our audience’s needs and wants to drive every decision we make, from branding to packaging and product development to communication.”
The one word that defines the image Dixie wants consumers to have first and foremost in their minds? “Authentic,” said Floor.
As far as challenges the company faces as it moves ahead developing national and global brand awareness in such a fast-moving industry, Floor pointed to a “multitude of challenges” faced by “multi-state/multi-country [consumer packaged goods] companies: maintaining consistency of product experience across borders, overcoming consumer misperceptions and stigma, and hugely limited [point-of-purchase] marketing opportunities in highly regulated and restricted retail landscapes, just to name a few. But at the top of that long list of challenges undoubtedly lies the regulations limiting our ability to communicate with our consumers. Those regulations are both regional and fluid, which means our marketing team has to work overtime to keep abreast of what we can and can’t do or say.
“Worse,” he continued, “the canna-curious consumer is hungry for information, wanting to build relationships with brands they can trust. Despite the fact Dixie Brands wants to be a responsible partner and guide for them on their journey into the category, restrictions on how, where, and when we can communicate with them make satisfying that primary consumer need incredibly difficult.”
Defining a category
When Mirth Provisions’ founder Adam Stites wanted to create something new in the medical space, he turned to his friend Peter Metz, co-owner and creative director at the Sockeye agency. “I’d seen their ability to get to the essence of what or who a brand is and reflect that in a way that is honest, super-original, and ownable,” said Stites. “Sockeye has helped us think about our brands from the ground up.”
Metz saw an opportunity for Mirth to pioneer a new kind of product designed for those who enjoy edibles but eschew products “replete with high-fructose corn syrup.” The result: Legal, a sparkling infused beverage with an aesthetic reminiscent of hometown brews, backyard cookouts, and soda fountains. The team chose the name Legal to celebrate the repeal of prohibition.
Stites said the brand targets an upscale, health-conscious demographic, which responds well to the product’s look, taste, effect, and subtle message about good, clean fun. “The Legal consumer might try other options, but they come back to us,” he said.
The maverick effect
When it comes to understanding branding, gambler, internet celebrity, and Ignite founder Dan Bilzerian has an advantage: His over-the-top lifestyle led him to a position among the top forty Instagram influencers globally. “Dan saw the sea change in cannabis and CBD coming, and how his core audience of 18- to 34-year-olds were over-indexing for interest and use,” said Ignite International Inc. President Jim McCormick. Naturally, the pair set out to create a sexy lifestyle brand.
Ignite is a maverick. While the company respects the industry’s traditions, Bilzerian and McCormick have no intention of becoming part of the pack. According to McCormick, the brand always is looking for the next peak to climb, because…well, “there’s no prize for second place.”
“Every brand touchpoint has Ignite’s unique viewpoint built in, and every execution has to feel authentic to Dan’s lifestyle and worldview,” he said. “If other cannabis companies buy billboards, we buy building walls. If other brands throw parties, Ignite leverages Dan’s incredible 32,000-square-foot house and packs it full of celebrities and athletes.”
The brand’s packaging reflects Ignite’s uncommonly in-your-face approach to marketing a premium product: The aesthetic is modern, urbane, and sleek…with a sharp edge. In keeping with its objective of cornering the 18- to 34-year-old-male demographic, the company’s social media presence leverages not only Bilzerian’s 26.9 million Instagram followers but also takes a bite out of Snap and Twitch. “We market more like Red Bull than we do a typical cannabis company,” McCormick said. “We have some of the most popular influencers who post for free because they believe in the products and their benefits, they respect Dan, and they know being associated with Ignite will increase their engagement.”
As much as Ignite trades on the testosterone-fueled reputation of its founder, the company also attracts what McCormick described as “unique females” who are confident enough to lean into the Ignite brand. If the company’s performance to date is any indication, “unique females” probably will see that as a challenge.
Helping consumers define themselves
When IONIC launched in 2012, cannabis was still mostly hiding behind the wall of medicinal treatment. The company intended to reframe the discussion by creating a brand specifically aimed at respectable professionals with families and jobs who also use cannabis. “We were one of the first companies in cannabis to market a brand as a legitimate and socially acceptable product for recreational use by responsible adults,” said Chief Executive Officer John Gorst.
The challenge was creating a corporate persona that celebrated recreational use and demanded to be taken seriously—and convincing target consumers they could adopt the same attitude. “We wanted to bring cannabis out of the dark and reset the bar,” said Gorst. “The IONIC brand was created with a clarity of purpose.”
Back then the company’s most effective tool was understanding the consumer experience—which they did, because IONIC’s founders were exactly the type of consumers they wanted to attract. Education played an important role in the process, and still does. Gorst said the company will continue to invest significant resources in hosting educational in-store activations for consumers and special events for budtenders.
He also said IONIC understood early on the importance of developing a unique voice in an industry dominated by what the company’s founders perceived as sameness and outdated stereotypes. Gorst and his crew avoided the iconography and verbiage often associated with cannabis at the time. “We don’t feature pot-leaf imagery or use insider nomenclature like 420 or dank or canna-anything,” he said. “We try to avoid things that will instantly, even if subliminally, trigger those deeply rooted stigmas and previously held prejudices generally associated with cannabis.”
The team also insisted the company’s image evoke quality, class, and elegance. The brand sees itself as aspirational: bespoke packaging and timeless design elements reflect Gorst’s view that products make statements about those who use them. “Our products are designed to fit seamlessly into the discerning consumer’s life,” he said. “They don’t feel out of place. Our products aren’t something to hide; rather they are meant to be something one can be proud of and share.”
Toast set out to create a brand consumers would embrace in both social and wellness situations. During development, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Punit Seth and his team focused on the concepts integrity, beauty, sociability, and accessibility. Packaging, they decided, would be crucial, since the look and feel of the product would do most of the marketing for them, at least initially.
Creative Director Gabrielle Rein found design inspiration in Prohibition and the Art Deco style of the 1920s. The elegant pre-rolls box is recyclable, high-quality paperboard with gold-foil details and a magnetic closure. The pre-rolls themselves, referred to as “slices” for market differentiation, bear a gold-foil logo.
The company has expanded its branding efforts with social justice initiatives. “We are well aware of the history of social injustice stemming from the prohibition of cannabis,” Seth said. “Our goal of elevating cannabis also means elevating our local communities.”
Strategically investing in fun
How did we become weekend warriors in our own lives? Many profess to hate Mondays, and there does not seem to be a lot of love for the rest of the workweek, either. But we’re completely different people on weekends.
Weekend Unlimited built its recreational brand around the two days of the week we love most, offering consumers a “weekend feeling” every day. “Weekend’s packaging, marketing, and events, through Weekend LIVE, are designed purposefully to connect to those elements that make a weekend what it is, delivering life’s highs anytime, anywhere,” said interim President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Backus. “We aim to be synonymous with the idea that if you need even a few moments on a Wednesday to feel like it is Saturday, you can with one of our products.”
Though it may project a light-hearted image, the company doesn’t play around. A powerful aggregator, publicly traded Weekend acquires undervalued entities—including growers, live events, consumer packaged goods, retail stores, and research-and-development facilities—and then folds them into a multinational, vertically integrated operation where everything operates at scale. The company has the clout, and the market capital, to invest in brand-building. It heavily invests in media and public relations, along with consumer events, and has developed considerable name recognition in a relatively brief time.
Of course, the company’s playful spirit doesn’t hurt. Bright colors, product names like Love Potion, and pop-art-derived visuals make packages a standout on store shelves. “The use of pop art iconography on our packaging indicates a key direction the brand is going [in order] to differentiate itself in the market, one that has a playful, fun element that consumers can recognize and connect with,” Backus said.
Under everything lies the implied promise of relief from the weekly grind. “Consumers are people, and people regard their weekends as the best part of their week because there is a sense of freedom, relaxation, fun, and happiness,” Backus said.
Changing the conversation
Lucid Mood’s name gets straight to the point: This is a brand designed for effect without the haziness.
Though the company has nothing against wax and shatter, the founders thought surely the market had room for adults with errands to run. They set out to fill that space with products that “elevate your mood without clouding your mind.” First on the to-do list: Create a clean, sophisticated public image that embodies the antithesis of the “stoner” stereotype. Lucid Mood’s sleek vaporizers, organized by effect, are called “sippers.” The website and social media channels bear beautiful, painterly images of people enjoying themselves in everyday ways. The message is clear: Cannabis can play a role in your life without becoming your life.
“LucidMood is shaping the evolution of cannabis,” National Sales Manager Melissa Leffingwell said. “We are transforming the stigma of the old thoughts of marijuana into a sophisticated cannabis experience.”
“LucidMood would like users to feel inclusion—that there are products available that appeal to every level of Cannabis user,” Leffingwell said. “We have created six distinct and very precise moods that will allow both new and curious users as well as the most experienced consumer to home in on the right mood for the right moment.”
Mr. Moxey’s Mints
The medium is the message
Mr. Moxey’s Mints was among the trailblazers in the micro-dosing movement. When the company debuted its tiny medibles in 2015, the idea was to provide a “portable, discreet, and well-dosed” product—a new concept at the time. “This product broke the mold on what people had come to expect from cannabis edibles,” said co-founder Tim Moxey.
Today, the mints are easily among the most identifiable products on dispensary shelves, thanks to clever branding moves. To provide a reference point, Moxey packaged the mints in colorful, Altoids-like tins—which checked the boxes for portable and discreet. The logo design and font choices give a vaguely pharmacy-like impression, and the product description, “herbal pastilles,” harkens to days gone by. Moxey said all those elements were carefully engineered to make consumers feel as though they’re dealing with an old friend…who just happens to embrace a new medical dynamic.
Mr. Moxey’s is one of the few cases where the branding effort focused almost exclusively on product packaging, but the tactic has worked. “Existing customers come into a store and point to the product they want, and new customers see a product that looks like it could be on the shelf of a natural grocer and want to learn more,” Moxey said.
Making it personal
Orchid Essentials’ brand story is intensely personal. Chief Executive Officer Corey Mangold began using cannabis in 2015 to relieve anxiety, residual surgical pain, and other medical issues. After consistently experiencing less relief than he believed possible with vape cartridges and batteries, he decided to tackle the perceived problem himself. The former advertising agency executive knew the value of branding, and he built his on one word: pride.
“Pride is the key word,” Mangold said. “Pride in standing for beliefs that are widely accepted. Safety and efficacy, and a high-quality product, are just as important to the consumer as they are to us. We understand the consumer, the other products on the shelves, and how to create products that line up to the needs and wants of the consumer. We take pride in all those things, and in creating a brand that is intended for the cannabis user who is looking for benefits, a good experience, and a consistent experience they can count on each and every use.”
With more than twenty years of marketing and branding experience, Mangold used tricks of the trade that had worked for him in the mainstream. From the get-go, he wanted Orchid to stand out on shelves not by screaming, but by quietly insisting to be heard. Packaging is colorful but understated. “I wanted the package to be something a 38-year-old mother of three felt good about putting in her handbag and [at the same time] appeal to cannasuers, fashionistas, and young professionals.”
To help spread Orchid’s story, the company dispatches representatives into the field to host retail events for consumers, train dispensary staffs, and educate new users. According to Mangold, it’s important for any brand to educate consumers about its key selling points and how the products are different from anything else on the market.
In Orchid’s case, the outreach—especially recounting Mangold’s personal journey—has created a kinship, of sorts, with consumers who’ve had similar experiences. “We built the brand with mass-market appeal and a focus on health and wellness,” he said.
Encouraging an adventurous spirit
“WYLD is untamed and true to its very nature,” said Claire Wilson, marketing manager for the Portland, Oregon-based company. The founders grew up hiking, camping, and snowboarding all over the Pacific Northwest, which provided inspiration for an edibles brand that celebrates the wild, Edenic land.
“WYLD invites you to forge your own path and push yourself beyond the limits,” Wilson said. In doing so, the brand aligns itself with other companies that have similar values and a shared appreciation for the outdoors. The company has sponsored the nonprofit Adventures Without Limits and Banff Mountain Film Festival in Portland, as well as Friends of Trees, which helps develop green spaces in urban areas.The products and the dynamic are a natural fit.
Demonstrating a company-wide vision of adventure, environmental responsibility, and strength of character, Wilson and her WYLD team seem to be everywhere, educating, talking about the brand and the outdoors, and getting to know consumers. “We want to prove cannabis can go toe-to-toe with any industry and provide a model for other businesses inside and outside the cannabis industry,” she said. In fact, working to help eliminate the stigma surrounding cannabis has created exciting challenges for her team. The message they are passionately spreading is that WYLD offers consumers more than just a cannabis chocolate; the brand offers nature’s wildness itself in the flavor of a freshly picked raspberry or huckleberry. “Our ability to produce consistent, reliable products is rewarded by the loyalty and respect of cannabis consumers from all walks of life,” Wilson said. “WYLD is a brand that enhances and adds to your lifestyle. This allows consumers to explore and curate whatever experience they see fit.”
Tagging the right message
Nancy Whiteman set out to create a health-and-wellness brand with a twist. What developed was a living, breathing entity with a memorable tag line that delivers the brand’s core message: “Wana Brands: Enhance Your Life.”
“When we say, ‘Enhance Your Life,’ what we’re really saying is cannabis doesn’t have to be the center of your universe but it can be one way to augment your life,” said Whiteman, who serves as the company’s chief executive officer. “We chose ‘Enhance Your Life’ because it speaks to what we try to provide to both medical/wellness and recreational users.” The three-word slogan was effective during Colorado’s medical days, but it proved to be a genius move when the state legalized recreational use: Medicinal patients use Wana to enhance their lives through symptom management, and Wana helps adult-use consumers enhance the quality of activities they already enjoy.
From the beginning, Whiteman devoted resources to branding initiatives, many of which support dispensary partners. The company invests in extensive product testing to reassure both dispensaries and consumers its products are safe and will produce consistent effects. “We have found that once customers find a consistent product they like, they are very brand-loyal,” she said. More obvious are the point-of-sale displays, videos, and radio and digital ads that keep Wana’s name in front of consumers. Influencer programs create a sense of community. Eco-friendly packaging with shelf appeal and customized educational materials with consumption advice reinforce the brand’s holistic-health imperative—which applies equally to people and the planet. “Sustainability is one of Wana’s core [corporate social responsibility] priorities,” Whiteman said. “We led the industry by introducing a new package that cut our waste stream by 60 percent and is both recyclable and biodegradable.” The company also adopted a state park in celebration of Earth Day, and staff and their families converged on the area to clean it up. Wana’s commitment to environmental responsibility continues to generate goodwill.
The company’s profile also benefits from the Wana Athletes Program, through which the edibles maker partners with notables including endurance runner Flavie Dokken and yogi Martha Triantafillides. “Together, Wana Brands and its partner athletes work to educate the athletic community and beyond about how cannabis can enhance their experience and allow them to enjoy their passion to the fullest extent,” Whiteman said.
Everything comes back to the tagline: Enhance Your Life. It’s a seemingly little thing, but it packs a punch.
Sharing, caring, and toking
The Willie’s Reserve brand story is fueled by country music legend Willie Nelson’s decades of devotion to the cannabis community. In legal states, the brand appears in homes, rehearsal studios, backstage at concerts, and on Nelson’s tour bus—the same places where the legend of “Willie’s (not so) secret stash” grew during pre-legalization days.
The company Nelson founded keeps the legend alive. “Many of the musicians we’ve met really relate to the idea of Willie’s Reserve carrying on a tradition so woven into the fabric of American culture and music,” said Vice President of Brands Elizabeth Hogan. “It’s that same spirit our marketing teams bring everywhere they go, to create a welcoming environment, bring great people together, and make sure everyone has plenty of weed. After all, it’s always worked for Willie.”
Unlike some other celebrity-backed brands, Willie’s Reserve has not struggled to find a significant consumer base. A singular focus on authenticity reflects Nelson’s own persona, a “my stash is your stash” ethos the icon has presented since well before legalization. (A lengthy rap sheet attests to his penchant for sharing.) Now that cannabis is legal in many places, a broader swath of the American public can discover what all the fuss has been about. The brand also leverages Nelson’s outspoken support for family farms by partnering with small growers in local markets.
The company offers a range of products including flower, vapes, accessories, gear, and edibles, enabling Willie’s Reserve sales teams to work with each store to tailor the right product mix for their customers. “As budtenders know, it really comes down to offering the right option for what brought the customer into the store in the first place, and we aim to have plenty of options,” Hogan said.
In keeping with the brand’s identity, the Willie’s Reserve design team takes inspiration from Nelson’s albums and art. While there’s a lot of innovation in the cannabis world, the brand perceives a “lack of ritual.” That’s what Willie’s Reserve taps into, Hogan said: a sense of timelessness, of memories and associations that already have meaning to people.
“Willie’s Reserve pays tribute to this tradition of sharing, caring, and toking,” she said. “Now that the cannabis revolution is well underway, it should come as no surprise that Willie is one of its most enthusiastic and committed supporters. His vision guides Willie’s Reserve.”
The lap of luxury
“Défoncé exists to elevate and delight, from the taste of our chocolate to the way we make it and the extra care we give to our partners,” said Southern California Regional Manager KeiLani Yanagihara. The upscale brand set about defining itself in a very deliberate way, taking cues from gourmet brands in the mainstream luxury market and attending to detail in both product and packaging. “We focus on stimulating the senses through our rich and varied taste and smell, the look and feel of our packaging and form-factor, and then the after-effect of consumption,” Yanagihara said.
The company revels in creating the kind of joy indulgence brings, celebrating chocolate as a decadent gift of the gods. Défoncé edibles are designed to be “revealed,” almost as though undressing a lover: gently open the package, visually caress the product, inhale the delicious aroma, and then linger over the taste. Each step of the experience is designed to surprise and pleasure.
The company also caters to high-end expectations, boldly promoting its ingredients as elegant and destined for those who want only the best. Défoncé sources its chocolate from gourmet suppliers TCHO and Guittard Chocolate Company, and the bars include upscale ingredients including vanilla beans, matcha, and hazelnuts. According to Yanagihara, the only essence customers won’t perceive is cannabis. “Défoncé is all about creating the finest chocolate in the world that happens to have cannabis as an ingredient,” she said.
Brand story as prologue
For mood33 co-foundrs Michael Christopher and Eric Schnell, infusing a beverage with a functional cannabis experience has embodied the journey of a lifetime. A lifelong asthmatic who overcame a debilitating childhood illness, Christopher’s adult dream was to develop a line of smoke-
free cannabis products he and other “regular people” like him could enjoy without risking their lives. In 2015, he met Schnell through a mutual colleague, and the dream became reality.
“I was crafting home recipes of cannabis-infused herbal tonics and kombuchas in my Brooklyn loft at the time,” Christopher said. “I was seeking advice on how to commercialize these early beverage concepts and thankfully met Eric and his team at BeyondBrands, an eco-conscious, New-York-based [consumer packaged goods] brand accelerator and development agency.”
That brand backstory grew into a simple, but powerful, mission: selling peace, happiness, and relaxation. The story and the mission resonate with a set of consumers who, in a digitally over-saturated, high-stress world accustomed to artificial satisfaction, turn to cannabis for peace, relaxation, and joy. “As more consumers see cannabis as the next-generation health- and-wellness ingredient it is, we seek for those consumers to identify mood33 as the brand that bottled the power of the plant and shared the happiness,” Christopher said.
After creating a fun, sociable corporate personality, the pair had to build an environment in which the personality could shine. Schnell’s background taught him one of the keys to winning consumers’ hearts and minds was engagement through in-person education and sampling. mood33 has hosted events in diverse environments including the hills of Malibu, yoga retreats and healing ceremonies, “mocktail” bars at book launches, “extra-happy” hours at consumption lounges, and cannabis tourism excursions in San Francisco and San Diego.
Hosting “mood bars” at underground dance parties in Oakland, California, took advantage of mood33’s signature marketing appeal: beverages infused with cannabis extracts, functional teas, herbs, fruit, and flowers, producing uncommon flavors and “moodstates.” “We opted to own the power of the word ‘mood’ and its connotation in our brand name,” Christopher said. The company’s products follow a naming convention dictated by that choice: Joy, Passion, Calm, Peace, and Energy. “Our goals were to offer consumers an easy way to select and engage with the products, and to determine the best usage occasion for each proprietary formula with a quick glance at the bottle and its label.”
And they’re always brewing something new. “We are now actually working on an [artificial-intelligence]-enabled facial recognition app that can prescribe the best mood33 product based on a consumer’s facial expression or current mood,” said Christopher.
Preserving family traditions
Jeff and Roberta Koz founded their company on principles they learned from their parents: a caring bedside manner, a contagious sense of humor, and treatment designed with patients, not for them. Dr. Norm’s is named for their father, an honest-to-goodness old-style physician who made house calls and treated patients as though they were family. Their mother was a pharmacist who also baked wicked-good cookies. Both passed away before the company came to be, but the offspring think the parents would be proud.
The siblings, both of whom enjoyed careers as branding and marketing professionals prior to founding the company, embarked on a mission to create a brand that telegraphs a nostalgic, apothecary impression. Ultimately, they intended to establish the kind of rapport patients enjoyed with their family doctors in the 1950s and ’60s, when compassion, comfort, and trust were the norm.
The effort may have been deliberate, but nothing about the brand’s expression is contrived. That’s important, Jeff Koz said, because a brand is nothing if consumers perceive a lack of authenticity.
“We didn’t create a character named ‘Dr. Norm,’” he said. “He was our dad. That’s his med school photo on the package. The cookie recipe really is Mom’s. Our brand communicates all of that.
“Ideally, every cannabis brand should communicate to consumers what to expect when they use the products,” he continued. “And when consumers experience what the brand communicates, that’s the home run.”
Koz said he and his sister—and a brother who’s a silent partner—take a great deal of pride in the way Dr. Norm’s authenticity resonates with a broad age demographic ranging from 21 to golden-agers in their eighties. The siblings, all in their fifties “and proud of it” according to Koz, have made a priority of maintaining the small-town-doctor, family-owned-company vibe even as the company grows.
Growth may take a sudden leap, in fact, thanks to the branding the Koz family accomplished. Four companies have approached the siblings about partnerships. “The brand and products are what attracted them,” said Jeff Koz. All four suitors offered investment with one caveat, he added: “Please don’t change what you’re doing.”
Clarifying the message
According to Cameron Clarke, a “sunderstorm” is a thunderstorm when the sun shines through the rain clouds. Clarke and Keith Cich coined the term, then realized it perfectly encapsulated the cannabis philosophy they’d developed over years of traveling in India and Asia, studying consciousness, plant medicine, and science.
They co-founded Sunderstorm, a brand built on deliberate consciousness and the harmonious blending of science and nature—with a liberal dash of Eastern mysticism. “We believe the plant can be integrated into one’s day-to-day life to relax, socialize, and heal,” said Clarke, who serves as the company’s chief executive officer. “This philosophy envelopes all our products.”
While Clarke and Cich knew who they and the brand were, the public wasn’t so sure. The corporate image, packaging, and message didn’t resonate; consumers seemed confused by the company’s several product lines that were related but had separate identities, stories, and demographics. So, Sunderstorm underwent an extensive, multifaceted rebranding early this year.
They discovered one hard fact: “Cannabis has something for everybody, but a brand can’t be all things to all people,” Clarke said.
The process was daunting but fruitful. Tinkering with the brand’s personality, expression, and voice forced Cich and Clarke to define their target markets in excruciating detail. They spent many late nights and early mornings working with the team at creative agency Madison 8, concocting ways to portray the brand’s promise through packaging, brochures, ads, billboards, videos, websites, and social media. Everything had to represent Sunderstorm’s motto: “Joyful Journey.”
The result? Four distinct voices with a unified message: “healthy, conscious, and clean.” Kanha infused gummies give off a distinctly Vedic vibe, “reminding adults to enjoy the fruits found on life’s journey.” Wind vapes manifest as both ethereal and dynamic, their packaging an homage to a force of nature. Nano sublinguals take an indisputably scientific approach, and Solara flower is eco-friendly.

Since I was around nine years old (in the late 70s), my uncle would occasionally let me hop on his drum kit. One day as a gift, he gave me a 45″ record of Fool in The Rain by Led Zeppelin. I was hooked! That’s when I fell in love with drums and particularly when John Bonham became one of my biggest influences.
When I started secondary school in Quebec (i.e., junior high school) back in the early 80s, music became one of my favourite classes. I played for the high-school orchestra and even performed at national competitions. Since then, I’ve been in a number of bands, performed hundreds of shows, and worked with many recording artists, both on stage and in the studio.
In the 90s, my band at the time recorded a few albums with the help of a few famous producers, such as Jay Ruston (who produced for Uriah Heep and Steel Panther) and Leslie Howe (who produced for the early Alanis Morissette). That same band even played on The Tom Green Show when we released our second CD.
Today, I’m mainly a rock, pop, and country drummer. However, my repertoire ranges from old country to pop punk to heavy metal, and everything in between. I’ve played at a variety of venues, from private events to large festivals in front of tens of thousands of people. I’m particularly fond of playing for meaningful causes.
For example, I played at the H.O.P.E. SummerFest, which is a festival raising money for the homeless and several community charities. Another is an all-day rock concert, Music Fest 4 Vets, supporting and raising awareness for military veteran issues, such as PTSD and injury rehabilitation programs.
One of my first bands was when I was 13, playing at the high school auditorium. We played classic rock, like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Van Halen, etc.
Small venues, big drums, no space. Oh, my! I’ve played in myriad local pubs and cover bands. Above, I channelled my inner Keith Moon while playing in a Who cover band.
As I got older, venues became larger while my drum sets became smaller. Above, I was playing with a Blue Rodeo and Eagles cover band, and we played classic rock.
My biggest influences include John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Travis Barker (Blink 182), Ian Paice (Deep Purple), and Ronnie Vanucci (The Killers). Some of my new favourites include Cobus Poteiger, Alex Melton, Greyson “The Nuke” Nekrutman, Jeff Randall, and Anup Sastry. My current setup is one or two up and two down. My gear is as follows:
- Mapex Studio Armory kit with green Emerald Burst wrap.
- 10″, 12″ toms, 14″ and 16″ floor toms, and a 22″ bass drum.
- Mapex B800 cymbal stands and DW direct drive pedal.
- Sabian HHX Complex series for all cymbals.
- 18″, 19″, 20″, 22″ crash cymbals, and 19″ O-Zone cymbal.
- 23″ ride, 15″ hi-hats, and 7″ and 10″ splashes.
- Mapex Daisy Cutter 14″ x 6.5″ hand-hammered snare.
- Mapex Tomahawk 14″ x 5.5″ zinc over steel snare.
- PDP Concept Maple wooden snare with wooden hoops.
If you need a professional drummer for a gig or a recording session, I can help. My repertoire is vast and I can play classic rock, rock, pop, pop punk, folk, blues, and country music genres. I’m willing to travel if expenses are also covered. Contact me and let’s chat.

We are taught to trust our gut, our instincts. And we usually do. But why don’t we do it all the time? I can tell you when I don’t it’s because of two things:
- The stakes are really high
- I place too much thought on what others will think
The antidote? Do the basics: Dig deep, breath deep, remind yourself of the good intentions, trust your gut and go.
PS. There’s a catch…. we must decide which is more important: the battle or the war. It matters not, to win the battle and lose the war.

Canadian Artist Spotlight: Ross McLaren
I knew Ross as a filmmaker, collaborator and the founder of the Funnel, the most important locale for experimental film in Canada. It wasn’t just the man’s charm, but his films — awkward, jarring, disjunctive, and, of course, ironic — which grabbed my attention. It was the late 1970s. It was punk. No one followed, everyone did what they weren’t expected to do. No reverence for commercial film, no desire for distribution. You made films because they needed to be made. Why not try it this way; let’s see what it looks like. A failure in film was a celebrated success.
And there was Ross, a Sudbury boy in Toronto, recently graduated from the Ontario College of Art. McLaren began his career co-founding the Toronto Super 8 Film Festival, the first in Canada. His film Weather Building (1976) is emblematic of this period. Super 8, edited in camera, science fiction meets visual abstraction. It is a dissolving, collapsing, repeating visual. It is the antithesis of Warhol’s ponderous Empire State and a sly homage to Michael Snow’s incessant panning camera. With its off-screen sounds, footsteps, wind blowing, there is an uncomfortable energy in Weather Building, and simultaneously something very cerebral in its abstracted imagery. The film is an enunciation of the time.
It is 1976. McLaren is actively organizing screenings of films in the basement of the Centre for Experimental Arts and Communication (CEAC), a non-institutional, revolutionary art space operating at the edge of the edge. CEAC’s mastermind and director, Amerigo Marras, gay, young, was an architecturally trained anti-advocate for the status quo. He had grown up in radical Italian politics so, in the fresh cultural territory of Toronto art production, he was willing to open his cultural space to whatever was tough, Marxist, advocated world change, and had no time for history and its lies. Here, one was confronted. Here, in the art basement, McLaren created his seminal Crash ‘N’ Burn (1977), named after the short-lived downstairs punk club. With a wind-up 16mm Bolex, he films in silence a visual rendering of the rancorous. Jerky, rough, in grainy black-and-white, lead singer after lead singer takes off his shirt, gyrates, shakes his ass in the face of an audience who scream and jump up and down, up and down, their bodies, the camera. In the film, the audio is not synced to the visual, but this is seamless disjunction. The once-stars of early punk, the Dead Boys, Teenage Head, and the Diodes pass as McLaren zooms in and pans. It is a documentary, yet not. Scratches on the film reverberate with the snarling performers who want nothing more than to announce destruction, feign their own deaths, and draw knives across naked emaciated stomachs.The celluloid explodes in raucous frenzy: discordant, awkward, and pertinent. These are not folk singers, these are suffering punks who scream out to us: “I’m in a coma/Pull the plug on me/ I’m in a coma/please listen to me/I’ve got the right to live, I’ve got the right to die.” Isn’t this what it’s about? Kill me, it’s so fuckin’ boring.
While downstairs at CEAC the punks had screamed, five floors above Amerigo and crew organized an event for every day of the week and published Strike magazine. When Strike printed a grainy black-and-white-and-red cover photograph of Aldo Moro’s bloody body in May 1978, what occurred was a political firestorm in Conservative Ontario. Within days, all funding was withdrawn and the RCMP were at the doors. It was over in an instant. The art community went into a coma of fear; with hardly a word of protest in defense, CEAC collapsed. McLaren propels out of CEAC’s womb, tears off, landing at a small warehouse at the eastern end of Toronto where he finds a new home for the Funnel, an artist- controlled location for the making and the showing of film.
The Funnel had begun quietly after the Crash ‘n’ Burn club had shut down in the fall of 1977, operating in the CEAC basement rent-free until the 1978 incident.It was at the Funnel during the late 70s and throughout the 80s where those of us making films in the pure pleasure of self-indulgence found a supportive audience. Who cared that only a few saw your work as long as you were free to play with the media in every way possible, from over stylized narrative, to John Porter’s single frames of speed, or Michael Snow’s texts melting on found stock. It was the Funnel where you could create films for an uncompromising audience. Here, you could watch on a Friday night the latest efforts at the mutated incarnation of film. Here you could watch their films and meet some of the world’s most highly respected artists.
A who’s who of the avant-garde scene exhibited and discussed their work with appearances by Kenneth Anger, Robert Frank, Warhol Superstar Ondine, James Benning, Valie Export, Jack Smith. Ross organized, promoted and made it possible for everyone to create and show their films.
One of the first films McLaren showed at the new Funnel was Summer Camp (1978), called by the Globe and Mail’s Jay Scott: “One gruesome delusion after another… funny and grisly at the same time.” It is a banal, absurd film constructed of endlessly repetitive outtakes from a CBC audition for the cast of a television program, “Time of Your Life,” centering on youth culture. It is shot with a kinescope camera, an early hybrid video camera that recorded in 16mm film with an optical sound track. Each teenage actor undergoes a three-part audition: a short personal interview conducted by a prim CBC interviewer; a recital from memory of a fixed script; an improvisational dialogue with a hired CBC actor. The premise: the CBC actor portrays the brother dying of cancer. It is at this point, at the final stage of each audition, that the film takes a radical turn from a kitsch view of the amateur and the pathetic to the abject existential. The half-hearted, sweet questions of the interviewer, “What do you do in your spare time?” are replaced by the low voice from the hospital bed of the dying brother played by Peter Kastner (who later appears in Francis Ford Coppola’s You’re a Big Boy Now): “Can’t you do something to take me away from this place?” “The good times are over for us.” “It’s cancer in the final stages.” “I have three weeks to live.” So effective is Kastner that an auditioning teenager (who possibly studied in Stanislavsky technique) begins to cry, flowing tears. The humorous perversion of a 1964 CBC audition tape suddenly metamorphoses into existential angst. The banter, the empty dialogue, takes on signification: “It’s my life, it’s what I care about the most.” It is the punks again, screaming at the microphone about meaningless life and death.
Under McLaren’s direction, the Funnel was involved in the entire process of filmmaking; as important as the screening of films were the film classes and workshops. Throughout his career McLaren has been actively involved with a pedagogical approach to film. His teaching efforts began in the CEAC basement where he would run film workshops, and continue today with his active involvement in teaching film and video at a number of impressive schools in New York, at Cooper Union, Pratt Institute, Fordham University, and Millennium Film Workshop. It is this impulse to foster artistic talent which was at the core of the Funnel. Many filmmakers and artists had their first public exposure at the Funnel Gallery and screening room. Ironically, some of Ross’ students have gone on to make commercially successful feature films and have been nominated for Academy Awards.
McLaren has been steadfast in his “shrug-of-the-shoulders” rejection of the conventions of narrative film. Not-quite-orthodox structuralism, his films help in pointing to the possibilities beyond standard film conventions. A film he made in the late 1970s, Wednesday January 17, 1979 (1979) is a perfect example of the other possibilities of film. McLaren is working at the Canadian Film Distribution Centre cleaning up the heads and tails of films, taking off the old leader and adding fresh leader when he notices the leaders are often more interesting than the films. So, he splices them together, includes dates in rough Letraset, includes a final date in the future (Monday October 18,1988), and includes one three-second representational visual, part of a clock. It was all about appropriation, so why not the refuse from the waste bin, celluloid without an image, leaders brought together? And suddenly in the rhythm of the projector, in the scribbles and scratches, life appears.
McLaren’s microfiche film, 9×12 (1981), produced as an insert for Impulse magazine, is almost orthodox structuralism. Shot in the Funnel gallery space, the microfiche card consists of nine rows of 16mm film, 12 frames per row, which when placed together form a still image of the visual space and when projected display the space deconstructed through time.
In Sex Without Glasses (1983), a mannerist play on the Hollywood rear projection process shot, there is a scene where McLaren portrays himself floating above the world. With closed eyes the somnambulist filmmaker floats over a giraffe, over the moon, over the crawling insects, a shadow, a silhouette of the artist. It is film noir with irreverent humour. A man standing in a leather coat with eyes closed, the sound of rain, a black shadow passes, the man walks off screen. There is no sex, and hardly any glasses in this movie. But there are shadows in the background, rain in the dark, and many distant, barely visual, out-of-focus images which invoke a dark, postcard view of life and death. A woman looks at the sea, a man drives, Niagara Falls flows backwards, a man and a woman embrace in an erotic slide into the rushing water. In the final scene a young couple in bathing suits stand facing the ocean, she cups her hand and whispers into the boy’s ear, we don’t hear what she says, they walk off screen together. Sex Without Glasses is quintessential Funnel filmmaking; an abstract tale told with an implied narrative, seminal McLaren. It is film that employs visual effects, but primarily is constructed in existential bathos. There is humour, but in a deadpan abject colour. The dying brother in Summer Camp tries with futility to illicit sympathetic responses from his auditioning partners, but with amateur superficiality only receives incredulous attempts at sympathy: “You’ll be ok. It’s probably an error. You aren’t really dying.” But he is. The film leaders with their indecipherable text and scratches are the evidence of the ravishes of time on our waste bin-appropriated lives. McLaren may appear on the surface as humourous, repetitive, deadpan, but something is amiss, as the voices don’t sync with the visuals, so McLaren’s message isn’t about aesthetic breakage and formulaic manipulation, but finally about the water flowing backwards, the brother dying and the sexless bodies looking out into the artificiality of the process shot.

A Funnel For Talent by Anthony Hall
(Cinema Canada, February 1979)
Film has often been called the ultimate cooperative art form. But as film technology becomes cheaper and easier to operate, the necessity for collective effort declines. Increasingly, the individual can use the medium as a truly personal vehicle for artistic expression. In the late 60s there was a surge of interest in this new kind of alternative, highly individualistic cinema, but somehow no major outlets developed for it in English Canada. Groomed on the formula productions of institutional giants, film and TV audiences found it difficult to accommodate the raw directness of works left unrefined by the technical skills of highly trained teams of experts.
Finally there are signs that some of the obstacles are breaking down between movie viewers and the artists who want to make completely personal statements through film. The filmmakers compelled to take on all the technical problems of the cinema – from scripting to photography to sound to editing – are now concerned about marketing. Distributing, advertising and exhibiting are coming to be seen as integral parts of the whole art of filmmaking. The rapid development of The Funnel, Toronto’s new home for alternative cinema, is a powerful example of this process in action.
Primarily, The Funnel is a film gallery where works of alternative cinema are regularly shown and discussed, usually with the artist in attendance. Featured last year, its first year of operations, were the creations of Toronto’s rising generation of new wave filmmakers such as Keith Lock, Villem Teder, Bruce Elder, Anna Gronau and Frieder Hochheim. Also invited to show their work were a variety of artists from outside the region, like Byron Black of Vancouver, Taka Iimura of New York and James Benning of Oklahoma. Occasional evenings have been devoted to the offerings of particular institutions such as the Film Co-op of London, England. And once a month there are open screenings when anyone can bring in their films to be viewed.
Much of the material shown is on Super 8, the medium whose easy accessibility best corresponds to The Funnel’s democratic philosophy of film. The view of the art is well articulated by 24-year-old Ross McLaren, The Funnel’s founder and principal dynamo. “Anybody can do a film,” he insists. “The technical end can be learned in half an hour.” To McLaren, the layers of mystique surrounding the cinema have prevented individuals of modest means from realizing the form’s full potential. “There is a belief that to make changes it takes thousands of dollars and the expert knowledge of a great many people,” he maintains, continuing: “The result of this kind of thinking is that the media is monopolized by glossy films that are realer than real. Their production is modeled after a Detroit assembly line with particular craftsmen responsible for every stage of the fragmented manufacturing process. Like this the original concept gets watered down, and it is the concept, not the technical thing, that is the most important part of the film.”
McLaren in his own work, like most of the filmmakers showing at The Funnel, aims to move beyond the structural bounds confining commercial movies with their traditional emphasis on narrative. “Reduce film to light and emulsion and acetate,” says McLaren, “and start from there. Don’t even think of telling a story.” Accordingly, much of his varied output, such as the widely acclaimed I.E. and Weather Building, might be termed “experimental.” But associated even with this catch-all film category are a growing number of conventions, all of which McLaren seeks to escape. With his most recent production, Summer Camp, he evades practically all labels.
This 16mm black and white “feature,” notes McLaren proudly, was made for $400 – a budget much higher than most works shown at The Funnel. The film pokes fun at the CBC’s professional pretensions and their unimaginative way of adapting theatre for television. The movie is a straight assemblage of nine intriguing screen tests made by the Corporation in 1964. McLaren simply took hold of the footage as it was about to be thrown away and ran off a print adding only his own name on a credit. In laying claim to a piece of cinema in this fashion, McLaren calls into question certain assumptions concerning the nature of personal creativity. He provokes consideration of the limitations of an artistic form, much as Andy Warhol did when he placed a frame around a Campbell’s soup tin, or as Michael Snow did with his 45 minute zoom shot in Wavelength.
Many of McLaren’s other cinematic efforts, in spite of his disparaging comments about commercial filmmakers’ preoccupation with craftsmanship rather than concept, display an impressive degree of technical wizardry. They travel widely in the United States and Europe and have won their share of awards. But McLaren sees these victory garlands basically as hollow stamps of approval. “There are today so many festivals,” he explains, “that virtually every film done can win some sort of prize somewhere.” What McLaren seeks most from his work is the opportunity to talk about it with small groups of people and The Funnel was established to provide an environment where filmmakers can get this feedback – a crucial component of the creative process. Says McLaren, “Films are not only screened here but they grow out of The Funnel… The fact that a place like this exists is a good incentive to go out and shoot films because of the certainty that there’ll be a place to show them.”
Of course The Funnel is not the only place in Toronto where works of alternative cinema are exhibited. At the Art Gallery of Ontario, for instance, experimental films are often screened under the auspices of Ian Birnie’s Media Program. “but before works receive such prestigious, institutional recognition,” notes McLaren, “they have usually been around for awhile. What The Funnel does,” he continues, “is to provide a testing ground where people can show their films for the first time… where they can get a start.”
McLaren had no such outlet for his work when he began making films as a student at the Ontario College of Art. His resulting frustration prompted him and several friends to found the Toronto Super 8 Festival in 1976. But the initiators were soon muscled out by more commercially-minded interest who have since made the event, says McLaren somewhat bitterly, “little more than a trade show.” The Funnel was McLaren’s next venture into film exhibiting. This he originally established in a Duncan Street basement provided free by the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication. The partnership between CEAC and The Funnel proved short-lived, however, once the latter failed to back up the former’s publically proclaimed support for the Red Brigades. Accordingly, McLaren and the dedicated group around him have a new address at 507 King Street East, where renovations madly took place in anticipation of this year’s opening on December the eighth.
With the same low budget mentality they apply to their films, all the work on the new space is being done voluntarily by Funnel members. Many of them have offered their efforts repeatedly in the continuing saga to develop an environment in Canada where truly independent filmmaking can thrive. During the death throes of the Toronto Filmmakers Co-operative, for instance, six of the nine executive members who attempted to save the debt-ridden organization were committed Funnel associates. In spite of this similarity in personnel, however, it is asserted that The Funnel is not simply a replacement Co-op. “The latter was production oriented while the former is exhibition oriented,” explains The Funnel’s vice-president Tom Urquhart.
But while the two organizations have developed in different directions, Urquhart indicates that they both were started to meet comparable needs. On this he has a rare perspective, for Urquhart began working at the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre (CFMDC) in 1971 when it was located in Rochdale College across the hall from Cinema Canada and the fledgling Co-op. “During those times,” he reminisces, “the Co-op was created by and for makers of alternative cinema. Since then it developed into a cooperative for people wanting a stepping stone in to the mainstream of the industry.” That The Funnel’s growth represents, in part, a return to basic principles by a section of the Toronto film community is further underlined by the fact that one of its greatest supporters, Jerry McNabb, was the Co-op’s first co-ordinator. Today he heads up the CFMDC, the nation’s major repository for experimental films made by independents. On McNabb’s advice, this organization has agreed to pay the producer’s rental fee on any of its works that are shown at The Funnel. In addition, McNabb has recently hired McLaren.
Besides what it gets from the CFMDC, The Funnel receives some funds from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council. With the unfortunate history of the now defunct Co-op firmly in everyone’s mind, however, there is an unwillingness to become too dependent on the government. Thus most of the money comes from the members themselves who seem willing to pay a substantial amount to be part of an exciting new enterprise. Perhaps one reason for this is that at least half the budget is recycled, largely among the membership, in the form of film rentals. McLaren and his colleagues are fast learning how to temper their altruism with a healthy dose of business savvy.
How The Funnel might develop in the future depends only on the energy and vision of the growing membership. There is talk of a publication, the creation of an archival resource, and the renewal of the workshop program that McLaren started last year. But almost certainly the emphasis will remain on exhibition, with stepped up efforts being made to widen The Funnel’s circle of contacts. Says Urquhart: “We want to bring the alternative cinema from international origins to the Canadian audience… and also encourage the showing of Canadian alternative cinema outside the country as well as across the country.” In Canada, The Funnel is at present most closely associated with PUMPS in Vancouver, the Atlantic Filmmaker’s Co-op in Halifax and the Newfoundland Independent Film Co-op in St. John’s. Anthology, Film Forum, and Millennium in New York. All share similar goals, as do a variety of organizations in Europe with which Funnel members will be exchanging prints. Anna Gronau, a committed devotee of alternative cinema, sees this kind of long-distance interchange of films as a particularly humanizing aspect of the so-called mass media. Says she: “It encourages the creation of small communities around the globe where people meet to watch the same image, but are left free to react in their own peculiar fashion.”
Gronau’s respect for the individual movie viewer’s integrity is paralleled by the concern at The Funnel that film should be used to show and develop the artistic uniqueness of particular personalities. In order to create an intimate, human environment where this can take place, McLaren and his colleagues have joined hands in cooperative effort. While the fruit of their work may well become an important influence on Canadian cinema, it will probably never attract the attention of a mass audience – indeed, the very concept of mass appeal runs counter to the Funnel’s vision.
Movies Made Personal by Jay Scott
(Globe and Mail, March 9, 1979)
The CBC interviewer tells the girl, a would-be performer with ratted hair and freckles and braces that she looks like Kate Reid. “Tee-hee,” says the aspiring actress. Canadian actor Peter Kastner, in an improvisational scene with another would-be, an actor this time, confesses that he is dying. The young actor thinks a moment and then says brightly, “Well, life doesn’t last forever!” A third teenager informs the interviewer in all sincerity that her studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music will be an aid to her when she sings the blues professionally.
It goes on for an hour: one gruesome delusion after another. The name of the movie, funny and grisly at the same time, is Summer Camp, an anthology culled by Ross McLaren from five hours of CBC audition tapes dating from the early sixties the auditions took place when McLaren was about 10.
H is now 25 and is the founder and director of The Funnel, Toronto’s major outlet for experimental filmmakers interested in the possibilities of movies as signed, personal statements – statements as intimate as a surreal etching, as self-descriptive as the results of a Rorschach. For the past several months, The Funnel, located at 507 King Street East, in a comfortably tawdry building that resembles SoHo in its better (ie. less affluent) days, has been host to programs of experimental films from around the world.
The programs are screened Monday and Friday nights (Summer Camp is part of a Ross McLaren retrospective on tonight) and are, within the confines of the label “experimental” – which usually, but not always, means inexpensive and unplotted – eclectic. One night, you can see a slick, full colour satire from California (Michael and His Things) which pokes fun at the tendency to define personality by possessions; another night (a week from today, to be precise), you can watch Michael Snow’s 4.5 hour opus, Rameau’s Nephew by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen.
But most of the films are short, from one minute to 30, and many of them resemble McLaren’s work – they rarely ask for viewer involvement in the conventional sense of suspending belief, preferring instead to treat the medium as a medium, with its own syntax. There are often movies about movies, reminiscent of the work of some painters (abstract expressionists, for example) who make paintings about paintings.
While The Funnel is supported by some government grants (Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council), there is an emphasis on raising funds by selling memberships. And most of the filmmakers whose work is exhibited function independently, sans financial aid.
“We do not cater to any market,” McLaren explains. “We deal with our own aesthetics, with our own formal concerns; it’s a way of getting back to individual expression in film without having to make the compromises called for in an assembly-line product. A large budget is not necessary – an experimental film can cost as little as the $5 required for a roll of Super 8 film.”
On the last Monday of every month, an open screening is conducted: anyone who has made one of those $5 statements can bring it and have it projected. Thus, the Funnel, which attracts an aesthetically elite audience on the one hand, can be seen as the city’s most democratically accessible outlet for self-expression in film on the other.

The following is a personal reflection on my experiences in the Toronto film community over the last ten years. It is not meant to be an objective, theoretically-based analysis but a history, written with the realization that otherwise these events might not be recorded, given an arts scene whose memory is somewhat selective. It is also important to note that my experience as an artist/filmmaker is closely tied to the history of The Funnel Film Theatre which I founded in 1977.
Originally, my intention was to construct a media centre for the production, exhibition and distribution of film, art or whatever happened to congeal and mutate. As the long suffering debate over the Canadian film identity festered in the alphabet soup of organizational CFDCBCFINBB’s I thought a happy solution might be to forge a film gallery in some warehouse pace and actually develop an audience for these orphaned film gems. A live-in basement space was generously donated by the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC) and for one glorious year I lived a boiler-room existence while building an eager audience for these challenging works. Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly until CEAC, on a trumped-up terrorism charge, had its arms-length government funding hacked off at the shoulder. Kneecappers kneecapped! Carefully dodging RCMP phone taps, The Funnel friends of film somehow managed to prove we were not, in fact, members of the Red Brigade, and regrouped in a new location.
The word ‘Funnel’ seemed to be a good name for what we were doing. I needed an ‘F’ word to go with ‘film,’ and I also like the ambiguity associated with it. Anything could happen at The Funnel, and often did. Because The Funnel was Canada’s only ongoing showcase for independent and experimental film work, I felt a curatorial diversity was essential. Otherwise, the potential conflict of interest inherent in filmmakers who curate might result in shameless self-promotion. This has far too often been the case in Canadian experimental film programming.
During my three years as Programmer, I tried to maintain a balanced menu of international, Canadian and local work. Monthly open screenings where anyone could project absolutely anything in a spontaneous, informal context served as an important forum for works-in-progress and for discovering new talent. Working with a small budget and much volunteer labour we managed to raise the visibility of these films in Canada and also have our work screened internationally. Forming links with filmmakers and organizations in other countries was crucial as experimental film was getting very little recognition in the rest of Canada.
With this major step of organizing the artists’ film community, and due to the immediate popularity of the screenings, the arts councils were persuaded to lend some initial support. These organizational funds have continued over the last ten years, but production grants for individuals involved with The Funnel have been less frequent. In addition, Funnel members have rarely been asked to take part in the jury process. Juries are often comprised of commercial producers, out-of-touch academics, or filmmakers demonstrating the best lobbying talent. Considering the council’s stated policy of “a jury of one’s peers,” I regard this exclusion as a major problem.
As a result of this situation, funding seems to be flowing to fewer and fewer films and to those of a specific type. The trend leans toward conservative (whether patriarchal or feminist), redundant as opposed to innovative, largely big-budget productions that fit into a definite hierarchy, based on the master-apprentice relationship and the applicant’s academic background.
Despite this rather demoralizing context coupled with the presence of government-fed film tyrants (who did their best to discredit our efforts), The Funnel grew in responsibility, complexity and size. Due to constant battles with the Ontario Censor Board and the ever-increasing tasks involved in administering The Funnel’s expanded programs, the bureaucracy grew, resulting in Board member burn-out and committee fatigue. Although The Funnel was ideally structured as a democratic artist-run organization, the process of group decision-making has often resulted in a philosophical split with some favouring a more formal structure and others preferring an atmosphere of greater spontaneity. Amazingly enough, The Funnel has weathered many conflicts, managed to minimize excessive neurotic behaviour, and it at this time fulfilling its original mandate while preparing for the future.
Ironically, I recorded these thoughts having recently moved away from Toronto to New York City. From this vantage point, somewhat removed from the local art wars, it is apparent to me that The Funnel and the work of its members is up there in the international scene. I keep in touch, lend support where I can and look forward to its continued success.
Films to be shown in this series:
I.E. (1976) is a film about making a film, was shot over a two-year period. At the time I thought I was shooting a remake of Man With A Movie Camera but I realize now that although the film is a record of its own making, it is also extremely autobiographical and diaristic.
Crash ‘n’ Burn (1977) was shot in documentary mode. This film is the only surviving filmic artifact of Canada’s first punk club – a Toronto art scene home movie. Creem Magazine praised the film for “doing everything in its flickering power to self destruct… Anyone who thought Canadians bored their beer to death ate at a different delicatessen.”
Sex Without Glasses (1983) is an amalgam of sex without guilt and sight without glasses; the importance of being able to see what you are doing. It is a film about confusing relationships, telephones and wetness, starring a preverbal somnambulist floating between words and objects.

Following the famous pilgrim trail towards the abode of Lord Muruga we headed to Batu caves, Kuala Lumpur. Set up in 1892, as small shrine in the lighted lime stones caves by ardent pilgrims the Batu caves continues to attract flocks of travelers and devotees from all over the world. This massive cave system is located 13 km north of Kuala Lumpur and perfectly accessible by rail or road.
Particularly flocked during the “Thaipusam” celebration, in January, this temples is in full swing with “Kavadis” and extreme body piercing as offerings for the military leader god( Lord Muruga)
Before you approach the main temple there are a series of small waterfalls as attractions, vendors and smaller temples. One which caught our attention was the one with a huge “Hanuman” statue. A temple next to it is dedicated to Lord Anjaneya. As you approach further there is another smaller shrine for Lord Vishnu and Alamelu Manga. There is also a “Ramayana cave” at the lower levels with idols of the gods from the epic and brief dioramas.
Batu caves hosts the tallest Murugan state at its base. Standing 141 feet tall, this statue is done in golden colour and all adornment of the traditional Indian god. The statue is estimated to cost approximately $392,000.
The place is flocked with monkeys which are cheekily on the lookout for bananas and drinks. Some very vigilant and some docile. There are please don’t feed the monkey boards everywhere… But hardly does the macaques or it’s cousins regard it well!!!
Leading up along the sides is a flight of 272 steps leading to the cave system. Yes!!! it is hot and sweaty. Alighting yourself to 100 meters in altitude is indeed difficult, yet, it is a moderate level exercise rate.
The shrine is in the largest cave or the Cathedral cave. Lit by natural sunlight from the tall cave ceiling, the largest cavern space houses a few more shrines inside. There was construction going on inside when we were there.. (I guess, in lieu, of the approaching Thaipusam)
The cavern leads to a further ahead flight of steps and a shrine for Lord Muruga. Continuously ringing with the pious bells of pooja, the limestone cave transforms into Heaven above 272 steps.
The cliffhanger monkeys occupying the green areas where sunlight falls and trees and plants have grown inside. The areas unreachable has a large amount of algal growth. The lower part of these limestone formations has been painted.
800,000 Thaipusam devotees in this cave space along with the traditional chanting and music must be a mystical experience by itself.
On your descend don’t miss to check out the educational tour of Dark Caves on to your right (more details soon on the blog)
How to reach?
The easiest way we felt was to take the KTM train from KL Sentral station. With the last stop ending in Batu caves, follow the crowd towards the immense statue. You cannot miss the path as its quite well marked out with hawkers and ware sellers of all sorts lining on either side
You could take the bus or ride a cab too.
Attire and reminders
- Wear comfortable footwear, with a good grip.
- The temple per say is not wheelchair accessible. But the lower ground and the statue are.
- Since the path primarily leads to a place of worship covering up to your knees or below is considered appropriate for women . You could rent a wrap for rm5 with a refund of rm 2 upon return.
- It will be advisable to carry a small sarong or wrap as this aids at many places in Malaysia.
- For men shorts was being allowed as we witnessed, the board however advice to be modestly dressed below knees too.
- Hydrate well. The days can be quite hot in Malaysia.
- If you have a heart condition or other health-related issues, take necessary precautions.
Travelling with children
Children do find it exciting to climb up… Yet it can be quite exhausting for younger ones.
Strollers are not allowed up the stair path. It can be left at the base with volunteers who are pretty knowledgeable about the rules.
The steps and steep and some parts a bit uneven. So do keep your children near.
The crowd varies based on the season, the festival or weekends. So handle children accordingly.
Hydrate children well as you go along. It can be quite hot.
Batu caves is the most popular temple destination outside India. It’s is a must-see for the magnitude and cave systems even if you are not religiously inclined. Follow up with us for the adventure-filled dark cave tour soon.

In today’s fluid and diverse market, there is a huge focus on customer loyalty as companies discover that it costs less money to keep their current customers than it does to find new ones. A customer’s loyalty to a brand or company is tested every day on social media, online product reviews, and news stories of a company’s social responsibility, or absence of it.
In this blog article, we examine how to best utilize your brand values to drive 100 percent customer loyalty. Brand values must be clear, well-researched, consistent, and trustworthy.
- Be Clear and Focused with Your Values
The first step toward customer loyalty is to have concrete values that serve as the foundation for the brand or company’s success.
In her article How to Use Brand Values to Drive Unwavering Customer Trust and Commitment, Lorraine Carter at Irish Marketing Company Persona Design, explains how clear and focused brand values should be the roadmap for future decision making. Choosing a company’s brand values is not a decision that should be taken lightly, and brand values should not be chosen simply because they are trendy.
Superficial and vague brand values will be problematic when tough decisions need to be made. It’s important to take the time to carefully consider the brand values so there is a clear stance on the issues they address. “Brand values are no different to human values. They guide what you will do and won’t do as a brand. Brand values are the pillar that the brand is built on even before you have a product or service,” Carter writes.
Carter suggests that when developing brand values, business professionals should first think about what is important to them and review that list. Then they should think about what they absolutely will not stand for, and then focus on the brand value that is the opposite of that. It’s important that these decisions are made early on before issues arise. Business professionals who appear to compromise their brand values lose customer trust and customer loyalty.
In her article, Carter lists types of brand values:
- Core values: These are the heart of the brand and what sets it apart from other brands
- Aspirational values: These are related to the company’s goals. These are usually developed when the company is making changes or introducing new products.
- Permission-to-play values: These are different from core values because every business must agree to these values to do business.
- Accidental values: These are based on the values of the company’s employees and it’s important to make sure these don’t conflict with the company’s core values. When the employees’ values do not match the company’s core values, this impacts the consistency of the brand values and decreases customer loyalty.
- Do Your Research
After carefully establishing your brand values, it’s important to do some research on your target customers in the quest for 100 percent customer loyalty.
This includes researching your target audience and what they want as well as researching your customers’ values. This is related to our last blog post, 9 Tips for Creating a Memorable Brand in 2021 and creating a buyer persona. Having an in-depth understanding of your customers is as important as establishing solid brand values. Customer research can be done by soliciting input directly from customers whether on social media, other online platforms, over the phone, or in-person.
A thorough research on your target customers includes researching these customers’ personal values. Carter describes the connection between brand values and customers’ values as a love connection. She explains how customers may be interested in a product, but they will not complete the purchase unless they feel safe knowing their personal values and the brand values are in sync.
When these values are in sync, consumers will continue to purchase from a business. A 2019 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report shows that customer loyalty is tied to brand trust, which includes both the product and the company. This study was conducted across Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Seventy-two percent of those surveyed said they will not purchase from a company if their personal values do not match the brand values.
- Be Consistent with Your Values and What You Deliver
Once you have established your concrete values and learned about what your customers value when making purchasing decisions, it’s important to be consistent in every step of the process to obtain 100 percent customer loyalty. It’s not just the brand values that need to be consistent; it’s the whole buying process. Marketing executives stress the consistent quality and excellent customer service drive loyalty. Consumers need to see that they will repeatedly get quality products and services from the brand. In an article for socialnomics.net, marketing blogger Ariana Smith writes that “Customers rely on convenience, so be sure that the company will deliver on its promises every time. Under-promising and over-delivering is an excellent strategy of developing brand loyalty.”
In today’s world, large companies are called upon to be socially responsible. In the Edelman report, 81 percent of those surveyed said that they must trust the brand to do what is right. Fifty-three percent said that every brand should be involved in at least one social issue. With this mindset and continuous news stories of companies failing to be socially responsible, many business leaders are shifting their brand values.
However, these changes may not be impactful if there is a lack of consistency. Forbes Communications Council Member Sylvie Tonco talks about the importance of companies being able to put into action their brand values of social responsibility and not just jumping on the bandwagon. She uses the example of how ice cream brand Ben and Jerry’s has always had a consistent brand value of social justice even before it was trendy. Customers may view Ben and Jerry’s long history of valuing social justice and social responsibility as more meaningful than another company who announces that they are now championing social responsibility.
The Edelman study addresses the importance of brands who back up their values of social responsibility with definitive actions. Some of the examples included in the report are the Dove Men+ Care paternity leave initiative and Heineken’s push to discourage drunk driving by making changes in bars.
Dove has set up the Dove Men+Care Global Leave Standard in partnership with MensCare, an organization helping to promote gender equality in caregiving. Dove Men+Care male employees are assured paid paternity leave and provided resources to help them. As part of this new standard, the company is working to break down stereotypes associated with non-traditional caregivers.
Heineken has developed a pilot study to test reducing drinking and driving through a series of behavioral interventions. The study was conducted at 10 bars throughout England, which were specifically redesigned for the purpose of encouraging customers not to drink and drive. Signs both inside and outside the pubs encouraged patrons not to drink and drive. At the bar, patrons were encouraged to sign a pledge not to drink and drive and they were rewarded with free food. The study found that these interventions reduced drinking and driving by up to half.
These social responsibility actions help these brands earn customer trust, which is also essential for customer loyalty. This further validates the Edelman report, which found that 81 percent of those surveyed said they had to trust a brand before they buy from it.
- Continuously Work to Earn Customers’ Trust
The work is not over once trust has been established and customer loyalty is developed. It is a process that must be continuously worked on by continuing to act on those brand values, re-evaluating systems and procedures when faced with customer criticism, and responding to customer feedback and online reviews.
In the Edelman Report, 67 percent of those surveyed agree that they will stop buying from a company that they no longer trust. Amazon has been the spotlight for criticism of how the company treats its employees. Marketing expert Denise Lee Yohn explains how Amazon needs to focus on its employees after various reports of employee mistreatment. She said that Amazon should be transparent on how they move forward with improving employee engagement. If Amazon is not forthcoming on how employees are treated, the company’s loyal fanbase could start to dwindle due to a lack of customer trust.
Meaningful customer engagement also helps to build trust. Engagement can be created by asking customers for feedback on products and service delivery. However, when companies ask customers for feedback and do not act on it, customers do not feel valued. When customers see changes made based on their response, they will feel that the company is trustworthy and then continue to be loyal.
The Edelman Report also states that trust is built on brands’ impact on society including influencers. The report found that 63 percent of those surveyed said that they trust an influencer’s take on a brand over what the brand is saying about itself. Therefore, it’s important for companies to respond to word-of-mouth comments on a brand-whether positive or negative. Companies should also address customer complaints in online reviews.
Forbes Communications Council member Elizabeth Edwards explains the importance the “Noble Edge Effect” in the Forbes article 15 Ways To Increase Brand Loyalty And Retain Your Customer Base. “This is when an independent source shares the socially responsible or charitable work your company does. Be authentic about giving back and let others tell your story,” Edwards writes. Learning about your company’s positive actions from an independent source further increases your customers’ trust and loyalty.
In conclusion, having solid brand values, doing thorough market research, being consistent with those values, and continuing to build trust with customers will ultimately drive 100 percent customer loyalty. And in today’s world, customer loyalty is a commodity that is as valuable as an influencer’s positive comments on your social responsibility.

Frank Gehry was planning to build the tallest skyscraper in Berlin which was proposed to be 150 meters in height. However, as per recent reports, the plans of Gehry have now been put on hold due to specific safety issues with subway stations present below the site.
It was in 2014 when Gehry Partners won the competition to design Hines-Hochhaus tower for Hines, an international real estate company in business. It was supposed to be the tallest building in Germany.
However, Hines is now stuck in a significant dispute with the leading public transport firm of the city, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG). The discussion is over the matter that the building will hamper U-Bahn metro stations' safety that is present below the site of the tower. Due to the dispute, the project has been put on hold indefinitely till the two parties come to a common ground on it.
Gehry's Other Projects
On the other hand, Gehry has other successful projects coming up in different regions of Toronto.
For example, one of its recent developments, Mirvish + Gehry condos is taking the real estate market by a significant storm with their luxurious and classic structure. Situated at King St West, Mirvish + Gehry condos is a master-planned urban community that will feature commercial as well as residential spaces.
Conflict with BVG
As per the reports by Berlin Kurier, BVG had raised an issue sometime last week that if the construction on the site would continue, it could lead to flooding of about 17 subway stations.
BVG Sigrid Evelyn, in the letter to the concerned authority, mentioned that the construction would lead to severe impairment of the underground operation for many years.
Christoph Reschke, the managing director of Hines, however, denied that concern raised by BVG. He states that the horrible scenario will not occur as the appropriate security arrangements have been made and that the firm has made a negotiation for the same.
Gehry's Proposed Plan
This time, the proposal made by Gehry will consist of a twisted block of rotated cuboids. This design is quite similar to New York by Gehry tower built in Manhattan. Made with precious pale stone, the tower will be able to accommodate 300 apartments in total and a hotel.
The original plan was to build the tower further south instead of the current location. Now, Hines has planned the development over the region where the U5 tunnel is located.
To answer BVG’s concerns for the development, Hines has informed that it would build appropriate barriers that would protect the tunnel from the groundwater underneath. Also, daily checks would be performed for the same, and the leakages would be repaired immediately if found.
Till the agreement is reached, the Senate Department for Urban Development has put the construction on halt. The dispute would lead to either of the two things: newer safety measures would be installed, or, the entire project in planning would be cancelled.
Frank Gehry is one of the world's renowned developers in today's times, and his various other projects are being worked upon fine.

MUZIKAROVA Michaela Patricie
- Missing since: January 10, 2017
- Missing from: Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic
The 12-year-old Michaela Patricie Muzikarova from Ústí nad Labem has been missing since January 10, 2017.
Michaela Patricie is 12 years old and was last seen on her way to school on Jan 10, 2017 at 08:00 o´´´ clock.
The police still have no trace that could lead to the girl. The situation is complicated by the suicide of a former friend of the mother, Otakar S., because he was a suspect. The police interrogated Otakar S. several times, even with a lie detector. A few days later, however, he committed suicide. It was speculated that he had left two farewell letters. This information has not been confirmed and the criminologists are silent.
Otakar S. lived in the Pilsen region and drove to Michaela’s mother on the weekend. But Michaela was afraid of him and always ran to her grandmother. It later became known that he was harassing Michaela’s girlfriend, whom he drove to in the car for seven hours and demanded sex. Nobody knows if he abused more girls, but Otakar S.’s family doesn’t believe it. According to his mother, however, it is possible that he was really sick.
Otakar S. was married twice, then went to Michaela’s mother.

The end of summer represents a fresh start in many ways. The kids are off to a new school year, family vacations come to a close, and for many embattled sports fans, the new campaign brings feelings of hope. In America, both college and professional football are kicking off, England’s Premier League is getting underway, and basketball and hockey leagues around the globe have their seasons right around the corner.
A lot has changed in the world of professional sports. Leagues from the NFL to Germany’s Bundesliga participated in last year’s season largely without live fans. Even golf organizations such as the PGA, LPGA, and European Tour conducted closed events last season despite the natural socially distanced nature of the sport.
And while a large portion of live sports revenue comes from media deals, a lack of gate revenue certainly hurts the bottom line for every sports league. With the increasing availability of the COVID-19 vaccine, many leaders in the sporting world are anxious to get fans back to stadiums. Fans are also eager to go out and support their favorite teams again.
A tale of two stadiums
Separated by just about 230 miles, the American cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas have something in common, they both attempted to debut brand new multi-billion dollar stadiums in 2020. Well, we all know how that went. LA’s SoFi Stadium, which is the home to both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, is the most expensive stadium ever built at the astronomical price of $6 Billion. In contrast, Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium came in at the bargain bin price of $2 Billion.
In addition to hosting a full slate of football games, these venues are set to double as Olympic venues, host concerts, and even showcase international events such as the World Cup and the Super Bowl. And while filling the stadium will be a priority for both organizers in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Vegas has the extra mission of building a fan base for the team in a new city.
Both Allegiant Stadium and SoFi Stadium are also underwater with advertisers. The owners sold in-stadium advertising space last year with the promise of sold-out crowds. Some of those ads are visible on a television broadcast, but smaller print ads on the top of seats? Not so much. These stadiums need fans to return and quickly.
Using SMS to bring fans back
If we look at the idea of simply using SMS to promote events happening at these stadiums, we aren’t thinking big enough. Yes, every team should be using the SMS channel to engage with their users, advertise premium seating and offer a seamless experience. But if we take a step back, we’ll see that a completely integrated SMS experience is the easiest way to bring fans back to the stadiums. Let’s set up a scenario to show precisely how game promoters can leverage SMS every step of the way.
Let’s look at the Los Angeles Rams. In October, they have a game against the Detroit Lions. As of this writing, the game is nowhere close to selling out. In addition to unsold seats, thousands or more tickets are available for resale through the Rams’ primary ticket broker.
An SMS campaign to boost sales
As a fan of live games, sending me an SMS alert for available tickets is an easy way to advertise seat availability proactively. But why stop there? A savvy marketer would send me a text that would include a link to a portal where I could purchase tickets. The promoter could then send me another text that includes my mobile ticket. In a matter of minutes, I’ve been informed about a game, purchased tickets, and had them securely sent to my mobile device, which I will have scanned on game day.
But the experience doesn’t stop there. In the days leading up to the event, I will receive important notifications like how and where to park, local game-day road closures, and of course, COVID regulations. Sending fans a reminder that a mask is required to enjoy the game is a much better way of ensuring safety than hoping fans are up to date on current guidelines.
SMS doesn’t stop before the game
During the game, SMS can be used for contactless food ordering or digital receipts on merchandise from the gift shop. Promoters could also get creative with text campaigns using keywords and shortcodes to trigger messages on the scoreboard.
The goal is to leverage digital channels to make returning to the stadium a safe and pleasant experience for fans. I’m a big fan of sports/concerts/leaving the house, but I’m also a fan of helping businesses streamline their SMS marketing efforts. Give me a call/ text at (424) 653-3380 today, and I’ll show you how SMS can take you straight to first place.

From simple blending to chemical reactions, Canamix manufactures mixers and agitators for all process applications. There are nine basic ways to classify mixing processes. We took some time to dive into these processes to help you understand the complexities of the agitation industry, starting with simple blending.
Blending Of Miscible Liquids
This is a relatively simple process involving mixing two or more materials to make a homogeneous product. To achieve a satisfactory blend, liquid characteristics such as viscosity and density must be considered. Liquids with similar characteristics, like alcohol and water, blend quite easily while liquids with different viscosities, like glucose and water, take much longer to blend together. In addition, blending small quantities into large batches requires more time, and short blend time requirements need extra power.
Dispersion is usually defined as the mixing of two or more non-miscible liquids, or adding solids into liquids to form a relatively stable mass before noticeable separation occurs. Dispersion covers a wide range of product types from caulking compounds and slurries to pigment pastes, cosmetics, ceramics, and more.
This is the process of dissolving a solid in a liquid. Readily soluble crystalline materials are quite simple to dissolve and mix easily even at low mixing power. Non-crystalline solids, like rubber, can be dissolved, but take longer and use more energy.
Crystallization is the reverse process of dissolving wherein solid crystals are formed from a liquid mixture. This is accomplished by cooling a saturated solution to deposit out crystals, or by heating a solution to remove the solvent.
This is another relatively simple mixing process that involves suspending insoluble solids in a liquid. There are three main types of solids suspension: uniform suspension of all particles, complete motion, and off-bottom suspension of all solids. The type of suspension required is quite important for mixer agitator selection and power.
Heating, cooling, or maintaining a uniform temperature of a mixture are all classified as heat transfer. During this process, heat is transferred by conduction from the wall of the mixing vessel or internal heating elements inside the mixer. Agitation speeds up the heat transfer process by providing effective velocity over the heat transfer surfaces.
Extracting one or more components of a mixture by the use of a solvent liquid is called solvent extraction. It is a liquid-liquid extraction where compounds in two different non-miscible liquids are separated based on their relative solubilities and densities.
Gas dispersion can be defined as producing a suspension of bubbles of gas in a liquid, usually resulting in a chemical or biological reaction. Impeller designs are critically important for proper gas dispersion to prevent flooding of the impeller.
The chemical reaction process can also require other processes as defined above, including solids suspension, blending and gas dispersion. However, while these processes are often defined by the ability to visually observe the result, chemical reactions usually require further analytical measurement to establish the efficiency of the mixing process.

Divorce mediation lawyer
in Racine, Wisconsin — near Milwaukee and Kenosha
Benefits of divorce by mediation
Many individuals approaching a divorce or family law matter may want an alternative option to the traditional court process. Murphy Johnson & Trampe provides divorce mediation services, with a neutral lawyer-mediator guiding both parties through necessary decisions and required documents, and facilitating settlement discussions, effective negotiations, and final agreements.
Parties can save significant amounts of time, money, and stress by working together for the benefit of the family rather than having a court official issue orders that will impact your family’s future. Family law mediation allows parties to make informed decisions, promote healthy relationships, maintain control over the outcome of their case, and often avoid future disputes in court.
Family law mediation
In addition to divorce, mediation is an option for the other family law issues our law office tackles — including:
- Legal separation
- Post-divorce modification to custody, placement, child support, alimony
- Grandparent rights
The mediation attorney will meet with both parties — in person or via video conferencing — to navigate the entire case process and ensure all court-required paperwork is completed accurately. The process is voluntary, confidential, and cooperative.
Through the mediation process, we will provide education and resources to help identify goals and resolve conflicts with limited court involvement. When appropriate, the mediator will offer parties options for third-party professional resources to specifically address their unique interests, needs, and questions.

UFC President Dana White has been showing an interest in starting up a boxing promotion under the Zuffa banner for some time now. With that in mind, kickboxing phenom Tyrone Spong has since decided to pay the UFC Performance Institute a visit.
Tyrone Spong has taken on a collection of mixed martial arts fights during his career, but has made his name as a stunningly powerful pugilist. With rumors that the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s parent company Zuffa is intending to begin its own boxing promotion, it would appear that the company may have found a possible candidate for the squared circle.
Check it out below:

Casablanca - The consortium chaired by ACWA Power completed the financial closure of the NOOR II and III energy projects, which are the second phase of Ouarzazate solar complex NOOR, ACWA said in a statement.
The projects NOOR II and III are two solar centres using concentrated solar technology (CSP) to produce respectively 200 MW and 150 MW.
These projects will be financed by the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN) as part of the Moroccan energy plan NOOR whose goal is to produce 2 GW of solar energy which is equal to 14 pc of Morocco’s production capacity by 2020, the same source noted.
These two projects will cost 2 billion dollars that will be financed with a debt/equity ratio of 80/20, and the debt is totally financed by MASEN with funds guaranteed by the African Development Bank, French Development Agency, Clean Technology Fund, European Commission, European Investment Bank, Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau and the International Bank.
"NOOR has always been a special project for ACWA Power (...) that will offer the most competitive solutions for NOOR II and NOOR III and we are pleased to finish the financial closure of these two projects", President and CEO of ACWA Power, Paddy Padmanathan, said, adding that ACWA Power is honored to work with Masen and participate in Morocco’s ambitious program of renewable energy production aiming to produce 2 GW of solar energy by 2020.
"Morocco guides us to build the renewable energy ecosystems through a transparent tender procedure", ACWA Power Managing Director, Thamer Alsharhan, said. NOOR II and NOOR III will help in environment protection and contribute to the socio-economic development of local economy.

Summer is here, and if you’re serious about smoking meat, you’ll likely want to fire up your grill when that first warm day arrives. However, before you begin planning the first BBQ of the season, it’s important that you have all the necessary gear on hand. If you really want to impress your buddies, you’ll add the following must-haves to your shopping list.
1. BBQ Gloves
it comes to working with fire, heat-resistant gloves are absolutely essential.
Sure, it may look cool to flip the meat with your bare hands, but it’s probably
not worth the singed arm hairs.
invest in some sturdy BBQ gloves that fit your hand like, well, a glove! If
they’re too loose, they may slip off or fail to provide adequate grip. And if
they’re too tight, you obviously won’t want to wear them, which defeats the
2. Steel Grill Brush
also a smart idea to purchase a grill brush if you don’t already have one.
While tin foil may work in a pinch, a steel brush is much more effective and
most come with a handle.
keeping your grill or smoker free of buildup and leftover meat pieces will
allow for a smoother smoking experience. Choose one without wire bristles,
as they can get left behind and stick to your
you aren’t careful, causing throat and mouth injuries.
3. Meat Claws
these aren’t technically a necessity, meat claws are insanely cool — and all
your friends will agree. Plus, they’re super fun to use, giving you the
bear-like experience of shredding your meet with claws. Perfect for pulled
pork, this manly accessory will have you making sandwich-ready meat in no time.
Just be sure to choose high-quality claws that can withstand high temperatures
and won’t melt or break.
4. Smoking Pellets
key to smoking meat is choosing high-quality wood. And some woods are
more suitable for
smoking foods than others. For example, maple is best for smoking chicken,
while walnut is best suited for pork or beef. Cherry, however, provides a nice
smoky flavor that complements all three, plus seafood.
you don’t have access to high-quality wood, you can purchase flavored pellets,
which add a unique taste to your food fast.
5. Sauce Mop
longer something cooks, the drier it becomes. So, if you plan on smoking your
meat over a few hours, consider using a sauce mop to keep your meat juicy. The
large head covers more ground faster than a basting brush. Plus, the best ones
come with a removable and replaceable mop that you can clean in the dishwasher
or laundry machine.
6. Wireless Meat Thermometer
wondering if you’re meat’s done yet and know for sure with a wireless meat
get the most accurate reading, stick the thermometer in the thickest part
of the meat
while it’s still on the grill. Go for a model that beeps when the food is ready
to serve or simply read up on proper meat temperatures to ensure your smoked
cuts are perfectly cooked. Making sure the meat is completely cooked through
will also prevent foodborne illnesses like salmonella and norovirus.
7. Marinade Injector
rubs and glazes may be good enough for the novice BBQer, but not a serious meat
smoker like yourself. These flavors merely sit on the surface of the
meat, leaving the inside devoid of flavor. A marinade injector, however,
ensures that tastiness is evenly distributed throughout your beef roast, pork
shoulder or lamb leg.
set a few extra minutes aside for
injecting your meat with garlic, crushed herbs or even melted butter to create a
mouth-watering slab of meat everyone will love.
8. Lava Rocks
and wood may keep your fire burning for a little while, but lava rocks are a
complete game-changer. These bad boys maintain their heat for long periods of
time, allowing you to turn off your smoker and leave your meat in there to cook
over them. A small bag of rocks will likely last you all summer. Simply place a
layer of them over your wood or coal to keep your meat smoking for hours.
better prepared now? When summertime rolls around, you’ll be able to hit the
ground, and the smoker, running!

Patek Philippe SA is perhaps the world's most renown creator of luxurious timepieces with the most intricate mechanisms. The Swiss company has produced some of the most famous and valuable clocks and watches in the world. In fact, the company's motto since 1996 is "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation." In 1981 Patek Philippe introduced its first Skeleton watch, allowing its owners to see the intricate mechanisms at work. Not only are the complicated hand made mechanisms viewable through transparent casing, but owners can revel in the gold and jewels carefully laid into the mechanisms as well hand cut engravings unique to each timepiece.
Patek Philippe SA was founded by Swiss born Antonie Patek and Polish born Franciszek Czapek in 1839 to create clocks and pocket watches. Six years later the friends would part ways and Patek partnered with Adrien Philippe. The pair established Patek Philippe in Geneva, Switzerland. The company would remain within the families for decades before passing on to the Stern family in the twentieth century. Known for their intricate precise mechanisms and bejeweled intricately hand crafted timepieces, Patek Philippe quickly became popular with European royalty. Queen Victoria of England acquired her beloved keyless pendant watch at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. The timepiece featured hand cut rose diamonds set in a pattern of a bouquet of flowers and was suspended from a brooch made with enamel and adorned in diamonds. In 1868 Patek Philippe created a special timepiece for Countess Koscaowicz of Hungary that rested on a beautiful bracelet, one of the first wristwatches.
Patek Philippe SA would continue its ownership through the Philippe family commissioning some of the finest artists with the finest craftsmanship while maintaining the intricacy of its beautiful clocks, pocket and wrist watches. The company would continue to attract the attention of both royals and celebrities including heads of states, authors, artists and scientists. In 1915 Albert Einstein commissioned a gold pocket watch from Patek Philppe. In 1935 the Swiss Stern family, a major supplier of Patek Philippe timepieces brought the brand to American markets. The Stern family would eventually acquire Patek Philippe, and the company remains in the Stern family today.
Through the twentieth and twenty-first century, Patek Philippe SA would continue to create luxury intricate watches eventually adding more modern, youthful sporty versions in its Nautilus and Aquanaut collections. In 1981 the watchmakers introduced the first self winding skeleton model, #3878, at Basel. Several popular Patek Philippe watches were skeletonized. The skeletonized models feature transparent cases so the detailed intricate mechanisms could be viewed. The craftsmanship is impeccable. Hand made movements feature gold, jewels and unique engravings by the craftsmen. Because each timepiece is hand made, they are rare and valuable. There are believed to be only 60 skeleton Patek Philippe's created during the 1980's and 1990's.
1. Ref. 5180/1R Complications Calatrova Rose Gold Ladies Skeleton Watch
The Ref. 5180/1R Calatrova Rose Gold Ladies Skeleton watch is valued over $95,000. The watch was created in 2017 the 40th anniversary of another Patek Philippe rose gold model. The thin self winding movement features a transparent rose gold case with a sapphire back. This was the first Patek Philippe skeleton model to feature the winding rotor engraved with the Patek Philippe logo and seal. The off center mini rotor is made with 22K gold. This model features 6 bridges and 27 jewels within its case. The case is water resistant to 30 meters. Its diameter is 39 mm and its height is 6.7 mm. The bracelet is complimentary rose gold with Patek Philippe's standard fold clasp. This unique watch is sturdy, elegant and luxurious.
2. Ref. 7180/1G Ultra Thin Skeleton Watch
The Patek Philippe Ref. 7180/1G is valued at $97,500. The transparent skeletonized wristwatch has the standard Patek Philippe features including water resistance to 30 meters, shock absorption, a 43 hour power reserve and a sapphire crystal case back. This calibre 117 SQ model features ultra thin, hand crafted gold and jewel adorned movement. There are 18 jewels hand laid into the 110 components of the mechanism which features hand engraved pearlage. This model is unique for its dark blue steel hands atop a striking dark black display.
3. Ref. 3878 18K Gold Automatic Skeleton Watch
The Patek Philippe Ref. 3878 wristwatch was manufactured in 1990. It is valued at $57,500. The watch is calebre 240 SQ. The finish on the watch is ultra thin gilt. The micro rotor has made with 22K gold. The mechanism features 27 set jewels. The 31 mm case is circular and signed by its craftsman. The crown is cabochon sapphire. The display is glazed. This unique Patek Philippe transparent skeleton model features an 18K gold fold over buckle.
4. Ref. 3880 18K Gold Manual Wind Skeleton Watch
The Patek Philippe Ref. 3880 was manufactured in 1993. It is valued at over $30,000. The 18K gold and gilt brass wristwatch is manually wound. Its calibre is 177 SQ. The elliptical shaped transparent case has 2 parts and has a cabochon sapphire set crown. It uniquely resembles the first series of the Patek Philippe skeleton collection.

This will be an evolving thread on examples of how to mount the rear sensor. We are constantly improving our mounting options. Most of the parts will be available for purchase and may be in prototype form when the picture was taken. If you want any bracket you see that is 3D printed, we can either have one made for you, or you can get the file from us and print it yourself if you have a printer.
For shocks that the minimum closing distance of the sensor is greater than the eye to eye of the shock, you need an extender bracket to make sure the sensor doesn't get damaged when you hit bottom. Our software prevents this from happening by throwing a calibration error. If you see this error, it's because you short stroked the sensor when mounting.
Yep, it can measure this too. This mounting was a good approximation of what's happening. If you wanted it perfect, we'd have to write a bit of software, but for balancing a bike, this will suffice. 3M VHB tape adhering generic M5 bolt mounts to the top and bottom of fork.
We have circular flat mounts. These are threaded M3 x 6mm and are great for 9.4mm diameter body MIPS sensors. A slight curve is fine, but steeper radius surfaces need rounded surface mounts.
We have a 31mm diameter curved circular mount that's great for mounting to piggy back shocks. This one is an M4x6mm threaded post which is great for a ball joint mount. This standard ball joint mount is bolted to a body clamp for our 9.4mm diameter MIPS sensors. This provides lots of compliance while maintaining accuracy when measuring. This will get you out of a lot of difficult situations. And, you won't have to worry if you mounted your heim joint posts too short for the stroke of your shock. If you get an error, just loosen the body clamp and open up the sensor a little more. Try again until the error goes away.
For this Factory Yeti pilot, Dillon Santos, we used a lower DH Pro mounting post that typically installs on a 40mm DH Fork. The body of the Fox FloatX2 shock is 48mm diameter. It's a little tight, but with some 3M VHB tape, it's not going anywhere. Make sure to clean the surface with 50/50 water & rubbing alcohol. On the front of the MIPS sensor, we used our body clamp and pop joint. Lots of compliance. No complaints on this mount.
Yep, it's coming. Our software doesn't know the difference between a bicycle or a motorcycle. Both have telescoping forks, and a leverage curve on the rear. For this top AFM racer, Corey Call, the data showed him his fork was under-sprung by about 15%. He swapped to stiffer fork springs and he's now pushing further into the corner under braking. He's a smoking fast rider.
And another. We could have solved this with our pop joint body mount too. This is one way to do it if you are handy machining your own parts. But now we can use our pop joint body mount on the piggyback.
Here's our clever shock piggyback pop joint on an Evil Insurgent.
For coil shocks, we have a 2" stainless steel collar that is great for using with our pop joint. Just leave the mounting hardware on and it's easy to swap between bikes.
Here's our shock collar on a Push ElevenSix.
Just snap in the sensor when you want to test.
Here's our M4 Pop Joint post. Easy to stick on flat surfaces.
Here's a method using our Enduro Fork flexure and MI Air cap to the shock piggyback shraeder valve.
The suspension manufacturers may not like this method since they've gone to great care to hide this valve. But it provides a really tidy method to mount our MIPS sensor.
Above, we have a new method to mount on the 2020 Enduro or Demo. We are measuring the main link rotation angle. We have an angle/axle displacement curve in the bike file provided by Specialized engineering. The mounts are stick on with 3M VHB tape. This method also works for the Santa Cruz V10 and Megatower. These low tunnel shock designs are tough to mount a linear position sensor to. We've done it (see further above on Paul Serra's Enduro), but it wasn't fun and we can't imagine pushing this onto our customers. We're grateful for the support from Specialized and Santa Cruz to make this data available.
The coil kit works quite well on this Norco Aurum. Looks cool too.
Examples of what not to do...
On this Trek Slash, the transceiver box was mounted on the top tube, while the sensor body was mounted to the upper shock. As the shock compresses, the cable will stretch... unit no longer can. This is the result. Unfortunately this resulted in a complete replacement of the position sensor (Transceiver is fine). For this mount, the transceiver could be mounted on the shock piggyback reservoir or the rocker arm by the trunnion. Visualize the entire range of motion when mounting your sensor to avoid pitfalls like this.
Here's a Santa Cruz Megatower using the scalene method (angle of the main upper rotating link). Doesn't matter how you mount it, the app will ask you to take a couple of measurements, then the app will calculate the angle of the link and translate that to the rear axle position. The mounts in this pic are designed by us and they are available. Just ask.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Senior Mary Brigid Keck registered an NCAA provisional mark in the weight throw, while senior Jaylin Reeves broke her school record in the 200 meters on the final day of the South Carolina Invitational on Feb. 4.
Keck set her first NCAA standard of the indoor season in the weight throw after recording a distance of 57 feet, 10 inches on her second toss to place second overall. She finished behind Division I thrower Kathleen Young of South Carolina in a competitive field. Keck holds the top distance and is the only athlete to reach the NCAA mark in the entire Southeast Region.
Reeves shattered her previous record in the 200 meters after crossing the line in 24.95 seconds. She placed ninth in the event but improved her prior mark by three-tenths of a second. Reeves continues to hold the top time in the Conference Carolinas and ranks top five in the 60-meter dash.
Additionally, freshman Channel Asoburuenwu and senior Jaiden Moody each established all-time school marks in the 200 meters. Asoburuenwu posted a time of 25.47 seconds in the event, which ranks eighth in the Southeast Region during the indoor season and sits third in program history. Moody improved her league qualifying mark in the 200 meters after posting a time of 25.71 seconds. She moves to seventh all-time at UMO in the event while being tied for sixth in the conference.

Oh Ryan, you oblivious asshole. I do have a soft spot in my heart for Ryan/Karen though, so I can't be too harsh with him ;) Nice job with this, you really captured his mindset, especially with him still being nervous under it all with Karen near the beginning, afraid she wouldn't show up.
Author's Response: ryan/karen, huh? i definitely get that... i think they fit well, i just don't know how to write it (well, outside of drabble format). thanks for the feedback!

The Accumulator's Guide to a Bear Market
Accumulator, noun (ac·cu·mu·la·tor)
definition: An individual or family, with a focus on paying down debt, growing long-term savings, and improving the household balance sheet.
Financial wellness is a priority for the accumulator. They want to save, invest and be well positioned for retirement. The accumulator’s time horizon can be anywhere from 10 to 40 years. They are time millionaires, eager to do the next right thing and build wealth for their future self and family.
With both stocks and bonds in their own respective bear market, you may be asking yourself, what should I do? Do I ride out this volatility and pretend it doesn’t bother me? My time horizon is long, but this is still uncomfortable - what should I do?
Let’s make it simple. Below are 3 things an accumulator can focus on in a bear market. 3 things to get your hands on and work out following a volatile year in the financial markets.
1) Short-term Savings
Your short-term savings are monies earmarked to cover expenses 0-2 years out. Whether it’s purchasing new furniture, a down payment on a home, a special trip etc. This money is preferred to be kept in a FDIC insured bank account - now finally earning interest, but more importantly free of the risk associated with the stock or bond market. Accumulators can ask themselves the following questions:
Is this savings bucket overfilled?
Can money be redirected from this bucket and into long-term savings?
Is it necessary to increase the size of this bucket because a new short-term expense/goal was added in 2022?
All of the above are great questions to review with your financial planner. Controlling what you can control; this includes determining how much liquid cash is needed versus how much is currently available.
Now, stock valuations are lower which implies that in theory, future stock returns should be higher. Buy low sell high. Simple, right? LOL I wish! Even if you believe this to be a more attractive environment for long-term stock buyers (we sure do), it doesn’t mean you drain your short-term savings in order to capitalize on it. If you want to buy more stocks in a down market, the first place to look is your employer sponsored or individual retirement accounts.
2) Retirement Contribution Strategy
We’re nearing the end of the year - if you are contributing to an employer retirement plan or an individual retirement account, now is a great time to review your contribution strategy.
Are you in a position to increase your % salary deferral going into year-end? If you plan to increase your salary deferral next year, is now an even better time to make the change? How far away am I from reaching the contribution limit? How can I invest more and where is the best place to do it?
Contribution strategy questions are tied to cash flow. It’s important to understand how adjustments can impact cash flow and the ability to achieve other savings / financial planning goals. It never hurts to run questions by your financial planner! It’s also worth noting, contribution types are an important part of the strategy. Reviewing your current contribution type e.g. Roth vs. pre-tax, with both your advisor and tax preparer is equally important!
3) Zoom Out
Last but not least, zoom out and focus on the long-term. I know, you’ve heard this a million times, but it is so important. A mentor of mine would say, “When in doubt, Zoom out.” When short-term performance begin to cause anxiety or stress, zoom out and review the long-term performance. Below is a chart outlining the short-term (YTD and 12-month) returns, next to long-term (3, 5, 10 and 15 year returns). The stock market does not appreciate by way of a straight line. Volatility, both to the upside and downside is the price an investor pays for return well above the risk-free rate! During volatile times, it is important we remind ourselves of this fact.

Streamlabs Chatbot Commands For Mods Full 2023 List
The arguments will be empty if you use the chat command with no text. The options are fully customizable, and you can add up to 10 separate options for each list. This will display a random text option chosen by Moobot. https://www.metadialog.com/blog/streamlabs-chatbot/ AutoMod may censor any link, even when Moobot is your chat mod. You can find the documentation that was referenced on this page at a new domain here. Do not use the comment section on this page for support.
- All you need before installing the chatbot is a working installation of the actual tool Streamlabs OBS.
- Twitch Bots have made possible moderation that was humanly impossible.
- For the Python script to be picked up as a script for SC, the format should be command_StreamlabsSystem.py.
- Cloudbot is a chatbot built into the Streamlabs platform that streamers use to automate tasks and engage with their audience.
- This means that whenever you create a new timer, a command will also be made for it.
- Allows a mod to remove a command directly from chat.
A cooldown can be set for a command set on both a Global and Per-User basis, this prevents the main action being run again while the cooldown is active. Once you become an affiliate on Twitch, this command is just about a must. What it does is give people a quick and easy way to sub to your channel. The 8ball command is a super fun command to add to your stream. Without a queue I get tons of people asking when they can play and what number they are in line. Giveaways are not only a good way to grow a stream, they are also a good way to drive lots of new viewers to your channel.
Tag a Random User in Streamlabs Chatbot Response
Demonstrated commands take recourse of $readapi function. All you need to simply log in to any of the above streaming platforms. It automatically optimizes all of your personalized settings to go live.
- You can pick any combination of the following sources for the origination of the command.
- I would recommend adding UNIQUE rewards, as well as a cost for redeeming SFX, mini games, or giveaway tickets, to keep people engaged.
- We have included an optional line at the end to let viewers know what game the streamer was playing last.
- In this box you want to make sure to setup ‘twitch bot’, ‘twitch streamer’, and ‘obs remote’.
- To add custom commands, visit the Commands section in the Cloudbot dashboard.
- All they have to do is say the keyword, and the response will appear in chat.
In addition to the useful integration of prefabricated Streamlabs overlays and alerts, creators can also install chatbots with the software, among other things. Streamlabs users get their money’s worth here – because the setup is child’s play and requires no prior knowledge. All you need before installing the chatbot is a working installation of the actual tool Streamlabs OBS. Once you have Streamlabs installed, you can start downloading the chatbot tool, which you can find here. Although the chatbot works seamlessly with Streamlabs, it is not directly integrated into the main program – therefore two installations are necessary. Streamlabs offers streamers the possibility to activate their own chatbot and set it up according to their ideas.
What can you do with a Streamlabs chatbot?
It is also possible to give viewers dynamic answers to any recurrent questions asked. The best part about Nightbot is that it is a free webhosted Twitch Bot. Wins $mychannel has won $checkcount(!addwin) games today.
If this option is active, any permissions from the user’s permission group will not apply when editing a chat command from Twitch chat. In that case the only requirement for the edit is that the user is a Twitch mod. This will display a randomly chosen Twitch username from the current Twitch chat user list. The chat command will not respond if the Twitch user is not following the channel. Command», where «Command» is the chat command’s name, then whoever used the command will be the one Moobot looks up the follow for.
Chat command examples
Also for the users themselves, a Discord server is a great way to communicate away from the stream and talk about God and the world. It is no longer a secret that streamers play different games together with their community. However, during livestreams that have more than 10 viewers, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right people for a joint gaming session.
It provides exceptional features, better than many of those in the market for decades, at the lowest pricing. This platform generates free Chatbots for Live Chat, for Websites, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and other social media platforms like Telegram. Create a Chatbot for WhatsApp, Website, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WordPress & Shopify with BotPenguin – 100% FREE! Our chatbot creator helps with lead generation, appointment booking, customer support, marketing automation, WhatsApp & Facebook Automation for businesses. AI-powered No-Code chatbot maker with live chat plugin & ChatGPT integration.
Another nice option regarding Nightbot is the fact that you can create your own custom commands and then add them to your Twitch channel. Oftentimes, those commands are personal to the content creator, answering questions about the streamer’s setup or the progress that they’ve made in a specific game. You can also create multiple chat commands tied to one specific social network, like «! Like many other song request features, Streamlabs’s SR function allows viewers to curate your song playlist through the bot. I’ve been using the Nightbot SR for as long as I can remember, but switched to the Streamlabs one after writing this guide.
- This gives a specified amount of points to all users currently in chat.
- Cloudbot from Streamlabs is a chatbot that adds entertainment and moderation features for your live stream.
- On the left side of your screen, you’ll see a menu from which you are supposed to choose the “Commands” option.
- The command must have $commands written in the response.
- It may seem like a basic command, but it is a useful one.
- Below are the most commonly used commands that are being used by other streamers in their channels.
In my opinion, the Streamlabs poll feature has become redundant and streamers should remove it completely from their dashboard. SC has a few handles to add and check for cooldowns on a user or a command. Python has native random methods but they don’t seem to play well with SC.
How do I add chat commands to Streamlabs OBS?
For example, when playing particularly hard video games, you can set up a death counter to show viewers how many times you have died. Death command in the chat, you or your mods can then add an event in this case, so that the counter increases. You can of course change the type of counter and the command as the situation requires. This way a community is created, which is based on your work as a creator. Then keep your viewers on their toes with a cool mini-game. With the help of the Streamlabs chatbot, you can start different minigames with a simple command, in which the users can participate.
Namely, using Nightbot you can type certain chat commands and respond to some questions and messages in your chat. There are a lot of useful and fun Nightbot commands. The restriction also applies to chat commands posted by your Timers.
What is Cloudbot?
If at anytime nothing seems to be working/updating properly, just close the chatbot program and reopen it to reset. In streamlabs chatbot, click on the small profile logo at the bottom left. Streamlabs chatbot is a chatbot software embedded within Streamlabs, which allows streamers or influencers to easily engage with users. But like any other job, there can be challenges if you are new to streaming and engaging your viewers to live.
You can set all preferences and settings yourself and customize the game accordingly. Streamlabs is still one of the leading streaming tools, and with its extensive wealth of features, it can even significantly outperform the market leader OBS Studio. In addition to the useful integration of metadialog.com prefabricatedStreamlabs overlaysand alerts, creators can also install chatbots with the software, among other things. Moobot does this to reduce repetitive responses which create unnecessary spam in your Twitch chat. By using aliases, you can create multiple names for your chat commands.
Can Cloudbot moderate my chat?
If you are not familiar with the Streamlabs function on Twitch or YouTube, setting the whole thing up might be time-consuming and tricky. For many live broadcasters, especially newbies, Streamlabs is their preferred streaming platform. Streamlabs, with its simple UI and feature-rich, presets, appeals to over simply beginning stream makers. Lastly, if you have any sponsors or affiliates, consider adding a ! This command could list all your sponsors and affiliates so that way people can support you outside of just subbing.
How to get 1,000 followers on Twitch?
- Streaming gear and equipment.
- Be presentable on stream.
- Prioritize reading chat and responding.
- Never stop talking.
- Get family and friends to support you.
- Post content to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
- Prepare an agenda for your stream.
Mod command would reply with all the mods your viewers need to know of, as well as how to use them, so that way you don’t have to constantly repeat yourself. However, it may get pretty tiresome having to explain what mods are available in the game. Therefore, to make your life a lot easier, it may be worth it just to add a !

Good morning, Wishing everyone is having an enjoyable long weekend and a meaningful Memorial Day! GROWING UP JAPANESE IN ANAHEIM IN THE SIXTIES I was relating to some friends the other day my brief experience learning Japanese as a child. It was some 60 years ago. A neighbor family—the only Japanese-American family in our neighborhood—had a boy my age. We played in with other kids in the neighborhood—often in the street and sometimes dodging cars, but that’s another story! My friend’s mother approached my mother and asked whether I might be willing to learn Japanese with her son. He would only take lessons if a friend was taking lessons with him. For whatever reason (perhaps both being from minority ethnic groups in otherwise WASP-y Orange County), she chose me. Although I recall sitting with his mother learning phrases and having a notebook in which I practiced drawing characters, I recall nothing else from these lessons.
When I went to the WW II Museum in NOLA, the tour started on the European front. I thought, nobody could be worst than that. Then you go to the Pacific side, and you’re not sure at all.

Wedding season is almost here. Today I am sharing the rehearsal dinner decorations and ideas I created for my son Andrew and his bride Charlotte.
Rehearsal dinners (now also called welcome parties) are held the evening before the wedding. When we hosted my son Andrew’s rehearsal dinner, I wanted everyone at the dinner to know how much they meant to us in a place that welcomed everyone to the wine country.
How We Found the Venue for the Rehearsal Dinner
The bride, Charlotte, and I spent some time in Napa looking for Rehearsal Dinner venues. I knew I wanted to visit Merryvale Vineyards and see the Barrel Room.
My brother married one of my best friends over thirty years ago. Their wedding was in Napa and their rehearsal dinner was at Merryvale. I had such fond memories of the barrel room and hoped it was as special as I had remembered. The minute we walked in, we both loved it and knew it was the perfect location for their rehearsal dinner.
So we booked it, right then and there.
Before I get into the rehearsal dinner details, let’s take a step back to Andrew and Charlotte’s Engagement Party.
The Engagement Party
You may remember when we hosted an Engagement Party for Andrew and Charlotte. It was held in our backyard and I have posted about the Engagement Party many times. It was such a special evening and I had so much fun planning and hosting this party. So of course, that meant that I had to create something even more spectacular for the Rehearsal Dinner.
I do have to say, the Engagement Party was an amazing party. I built the outdoor dining room frame (with help from my boys), and made the tablecloths, flower arrangements, and place cards.
Needless to say, the pressure was on to create something even better for the rehearsal dinner.
Planning The Rehearsal Dinner Decorations
I started planning the event and came up with all of the decor items we needed to plan a rehearsal dinner. I chose the linens, selected the candelabras, and decided I would make the centerpieces, place cards, and menu cards.
It did take me some time to decide on the flower centerpieces for the tables. I knew I wanted to make all of the flowers for the floral arrangements.
I know what you are thinking. Why not just call a florist?
I certainly considered it, but I wanted to pour my heart into this evening. So, I decided that I would make paper flowers. It was a literal labor of love to make over 100 paper flowers and yet, I am so happy that I did!
Here is a sampling of the flowers I made from crepe paper. Aren’t these beautiful? They are all homemade and just some of the flowers I made for the centerpieces. There were more!
In the photo above there are peonies, gerbera daisies, carnations, poppies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, and more. Do you think they look like they were made from paper?
How I Made the Paper Flowers
First off, I never would have been able to make over 100 paper flowers without my Cricut Maker Machine. This specific Cricut machine cuts crepe paper. And it made my life so much easier.
I used patterns and “cut files” from the very talented Lia Griffith. I have been a member of her monthly subscription for a year. The subscription is about $8 per month and it gives me access to every cut flower pattern for every flower she has ever made. I just uploaded the cut files to my computer and the Cricut Maker Machine did the rest.
Here are many of the items I used to make my crepe paper flowers. Lia Griffith even has a template to make a rose or peony flower if you don’t have a Cricut machine.
This is what the petals look like after they are cut on the Cricut. I can’t even imagine trying to cut out all of these hydrangea petals by hand! And each hydrangea flower takes like forty petals.
It is so easy to cut these petals and then just pull them off the cutting mat.
I cut flower petals and leaves on and off for about a week. I put all of the flowers in zip lock bags to keep the many parts of each flower separate from the others.
Next, I started assembling the flowers.
How cool is this?
This is the center of the gerbera daisy.
And this is the beginning of a Lace Hydrangea flower.
The lace hydrangea petals are assembled like this.
And when they are done they look like this. Don’t these look amazing?
I can’t even guess how many hours it took me to make all of these (over 100) paper flowers. I cut flowers for a week and then made all of them over a three-week period. But it was so worth it.
I also took a trip to the Los Angeles Flower Mart and found these gorgeous vases on sale.
I did decide to add fresh greenery to my flower arrangements. On the way to Napa, I stopped at the flower mart and bought tons of fresh greens (mostly eucalyptus) to add to the vases.
My son Matt helped me finish the printed items for dinner. You can see the menu cards and place cards on the table below.
And I love my wine-themed idea for the place cards. Matt and Michael cut a slit in all of the corks to make room for the place cards.
Aren’t these place cards fun? We just gently slid the place cards into each cork. It worked perfectly.
This is how I made the table assignment signs.
On the morning of the Rehearsal Dinner, I assembled the flower arrangements in our hotel. It took me less than two hours and I loved doing it. Each flower meant so much to me!
I started by filling each wase with floral oasis. I added the flowers and greens and did put water in the vases since the greens needed to stay fresh.
And here are the completed vases in our hotel room at Silverado Resort in Napa.
I love how the flowers looked on the tables that evening.
It was such an amazing Rehearsal Dinner.
Every single person in the room held such a special place in my heart.
Especially these guys.
It couldn’t have been more perfect.
Now it’s your turn to plan a rehearsal dinner.

Sakura Kitaooji (北大路 さくら)Sakura makes her debut in Episode 26. Like Ichigo, she was inspired by Mizuki to become an idol. She comes from a famous kabuki troupe family and has learned many ancient Japanese arts ever since she was little. Like among the other members of the family, she has the genetic habit of breaking into theatrical performance when reminiscing about things known as the "Kitaoji Theatre." Her usual personality is very calm, polite, and kind. She is very friendly and works really hard like Ichigo to go against and beat Mizuki. When she first came to the Academy, Ichigo was her senpai (the one you look up to in Japanese) and helped Sakura in gaining her confidence and develop friendship between each other.

M&Ms are delicious chocolate candies that come in various flavors. They are also known to contain animal ingredients such as milk, eggs, honey, and gelatin. Are they really vegan?
M&Ms are manufactured by Mars, Incorporated, a company that has a history of using animal ingredients in its candy products.
In 2016, the company announced that it would remove all animal ingredients from its confectionary lines by 2020.
However, Mars Incorporated isn’t the only major manufacturer of sweets that uses animal ingredients. There are plenty of other companies out there that produce similar treats without using animal products.
Is M&M’s Vegan?
The question “Are M&M’s vegan?” seems like it should be easy to answer since they’re chocolate-covered peanuts, right? Well, unfortunately, no.
All flavors of M&M’s are non-vegan because they contain milk-based products such as whey protein isolate, modified food starch, and carmine.
Luckily, there are plenty of great vegan-friendly M&M alternatives that you can enjoy without worrying about dairy or animal products. Find a few of our favorites below.
What Are Vegan And Vegetarian M&M Alternatives?
- Good Karma Chocolate Co.’s Chocolove
- Earth Balance
- Nuts About Nature
- No Whey!
- Choco No No’s
- Swedish Fish
- Dried Fruit
Which Are The Best Alternatives, Though?
No Whey! Offers up a variety of delicious vegan alternatives to M&Ms. From chocolate peanut butter cups to peppermint bark, there’s something for everyone here.
They even offer a sugar-free version of their original recipe.
The brand launched in 2016 and now sells products across North America. Their mission statement is simple: “We make plant-based food fun!”
If you’re looking for something different, try out the delicious vegan chocolate candies. They come in five flavors: Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Sea Salt Caramel.
Each one contains no whey, milk, eggs, peanuts, nuts, gluten, soy, or shellfish. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else.
YumEarth makes delicious treats for people who love animals and want to eat healthier. Their products include veggie burgers, pizza crusts, cookies, crackers, dips, sauces, and even vegan M&Ms.
But now, they’ve come out with Choco Yums—bite-sized chocolates that taste like candy, without being full of animal fats.
These little bites are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, and egg-free, and contain no artificial flavors or colors.
The founders say they wanted to make healthy food fun again. “We wanted to make it accessible for everyone, there are many reasons why someone might choose to go vegan, including health concerns, environmentalism, or ethical reasons.”
They launched YumEarth in 2016, and since then, the company has been growing rapidly. In 2017 alone, they grew 50 percent over the previous year.
And while they still sell mostly snacks, they are expanding into meals and drinks.
If you love M&Ms, then you might want to give Unreal’s vegan candy a try. Their candies are made with real ingredients like cocoa powder, sugar, and peanuts.
These candies look just like traditional M&Ms except for the fact that they’re vegan. You’ll find Unreal candies at Whole Foods Market and Amazon.com.
The candies come in three different flavors: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and peanut buttercup. Each one comes in a bag of 20 pieces, making it perfect for sharing.
And unlike many other vegan candies, Unreal’s vegan candies don’t contain dairy, eggs, fish, gluten, soy, nuts, or artificial dyes.
If you’re looking for a healthier option than M&M, look no further. Swedish Fish are small candies that come in bright colors and are often sold individually.
They contain no peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, gluten, soy, artificial flavors, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils. In fact, there’s nothing added to them except natural fruit flavorings and salt.
The best part about Swedish Fish is that they don’t require a spoon. Just pop one into your mouth and enjoy!
One of the best ways to eat healthily and avoid artificial ingredients and artificial colors? Try some fruit for dessert.
Not just apples, bananas, pears, and strawberries, either — dried fruit is sweet, simple, delicious, and with no animal products, it’s completely vegan.
And while you might think dried fruits are too chewy or hard to enjoy, there are many varieties out there that are perfect for snacking and even baking.
While we know that not all foods can be vegan, we hope this list helps inspire you to explore new foods and discover what you really love.
Being vegan can be hard, but with options out there like the ones above, you should have no issue!

Thinking about taking a long Tesla road trip? Read on for this owners tips and takeaways from driving around the lower 48 states.
When I put my deposit down for my Tesla Model Y in 2019 I had the intention of using it daily for my commute…then the pandemic happened. My nine to five shifted online and all of a sudden I was in a situation where this amazing new car was just sitting in my garage. Turns out, this was a common theme for many new owners.
I recently met an owner who took this situation a step further. He was stuck on a ship day-dreaming about his new ride and the places he would go. This resulted in a Tesla road trip that took him 10,500 miles around the United States, literally.
Outlining The USA in an EV
JP Jones, now retired from the Navy, was forced to spend the first several weeks of the pandemic on a ship. His brand new Tesla Model 3 sat waiting at home. On the positive, JP used that time to plan an epic EV road trip, one that took him across Canada, all the way south to Key West, and back along the west coast. The route literally looks like he took a marker and outlined the lower 48 States.
In total, JP drove 17,000 kilometres (10,500 miles) in 44 days. Even more interesting is that his previous Tesla road trip experience was just 450 kilometres (280 miles).
Impressed by his adventure, I reached out to JP. I asked if he could share the details of his trip along with lessons learned. Here’s his take.
How Long Have You Owned Your EV?
I’ve owned my Tesla Model 3 LR since March of 2020. I bought it just before everything was locked down here in British Columbia, Canada. I was in the Navy (recently retired after 35 years) and was ordered to stay on a ship. The Navy’s response to the pandemic was to sail every ship to try to protect the crew from infection. It worked very well, but the downside was I was within eyesight of my home and new car. I wasn’t able to leave the ship for seven weeks. As such, I spent a lot of time dreaming of a long road trip!
Can You Explain a Little Bit About the Route?
My original plan was to drive across Canada and drop my son off in Nova Scotia. My son ended up changing his plans so I shifted. Rethinking the trip, I wondered if I could drive to the Florida keys. I have family and friends in Calgary, Manitoba, Ontario, Virginia Beach and Venice Florida. It made sense that I drive down the coast. At that point, I also decided to drive through New Orleans and Texas (I had never been before). I also have an Uncle in Pheonix and Friends in Pismo Beach California. At that point it kind of made sense to do a loop through the US.
How Did You Prepare for This Trip?
Planning this trip was a way of passing my time in the years leading up to my retirement. I was stuck in a boring desk job. I found it passed the time to plan routes for my trip using ABRP and RoadTrippers.
You Covered a Lot of Ground in Both Canada and the USA. Did You Notice a Difference in the Charging Infrastructure?
The Tesla SuperCharging infrastructure is pretty good on the major routes in Canada, especially along the trans-Canada. That said, there are definitely more Superchargers in the US. This is handy for planning a route because you can change or add chargers to your route as you go.
I tried to use DC chargers on the Ivy network in Ontario and it was eye-opening. I found them difficult and frustrating to use another charging network! Tesla definitely has a huge advantage when it comes to chargers.
An interesting difference between Canada and the US is the rest stops. There are plenty of safe convenient places to stop for a break in the US. Not so much in Canada. It would be nice if superchargers could be at the rest stops!!
How Did You Select Accommodations? Was There a Challenge Finding Hotels With Chargers?
I stayed almost exclusively at Marriott hotels. I found during the trip that I was able to filter on the Marriott app for hotels that have chargers. The downside is that they don’t specify if they are free destination chargers or ChargePoint chargers that are sometimes more expensive than superchargers. Also, they sometimes require you to park with the valet in order to charge your car which can be very expensive.
What Was Your Highlight From Your Time Travelling Across Canada?
Some of the highlights from the trip would be driving through the Canadian Rockies. The mountains are amazing and there are a lot of beautiful places to stop along the way. I would definitely recommend a road trip from Vancouver through Whistler, Banff and Jasper and end up in Calgary.
How About Highlights From Your Time Travelling Across the USA?
I have a lot of highlights from my drive in the US. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great on the way down and I didn’t get to enjoy some of the sights until I was in North Carolina when I saw the monument for Orville and Wilbur Wright in Kitty Hawk. I was able to spend a night in Savanna Georgia which was beautiful, historic and well worth a visit. On a funny note, I wasn’t able to purchase a beer in downtown Savanna because I didn’t have my passport with me. As a 55-year-old man, it was amusing to be refused service for the first time ever!
A few more memorable places in the USA for me included;
- The Kennedy Space Center – I was able to charge my Tesla for free while walking around. I believe they only have four Tesla destination chargers for a huge parking lot so arrive early!
- The Florida Keys – A little more touristy and busy than I imagined, but I was able to see some incredible sunrises and sunsets there.
- Tallahassee Florida – As a Canadian, I was finding the heat and humidity challenging, but it was definitely nice walking around the city. It has a beautiful downtown.
- Austin Texas – I drove to the Gigafactory in Austin and was blown away by how huge the building was!
- Texas – Driving through Texas was interesting. I found that with a speed limit of 80 mph I was driving at around 85 mph (137 kph ) and that definitely affects range. Fortunately, there are enough chargers in Texas to ease the range anxiety.
- Crater Lake Park – I picked up my wife in Pheonix and we had a great time in Scottsdale, and Palm Springs (especially Joshua tree park). On the way home, we visited Crater Lake Park which was a highlight of the trip.
Any Lessons Learned After 17,000 km?
I think it is really important to be able to say yes to things, especially on a road trip. Keep an open mind to changing routes, going to places you have never been and stopping to enjoy the sights along the way. A good example is Crater Lake park in Oregon. We just decided on a whim to go a little out of the way and check out the park and it was mind-blowing how beautiful it was. I will have memories of that place for the rest of my life now.
Where to Next?
I would like to drive from Vancouver Island to Yellowknife in the North West Territories. I have an uncle from Yellowknife who is a documentary filmmaker and I think it would be cool to do a short documentary that details the pros and cons of a long trip to the North with limited charging options.
I’m also thinking about doing a trip from Vancouver Island through northern British Columbia and then going through Terrace and Prince Rupert before taking a ferry to Haida Gwaii and then back to the Island.

Prysmian’s E3X Technology Added to Transmission Lines Across Northeast, Linking to a More Sustainable and Reliable Future
Prysmian Group, the world leader in the energy and telecom cable industry, is deploying Prysmian’s E3X® advanced conductor technology for transmission lines in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, in support of sustainability initiatives and a partnership with Eversource, a New England provider of reliable and sustainable electric, gas and water service. Prysmian’s E3X® advanced conductor technology increases the capacity, efficiency, and reliability of transmission lines, allowing for more electric power to be transmitted with low losses and delivered across long distances without expanding the physical footprint of the projects.
Conductors are the metallic lines that electricity travels along on transmission infrastructure projects, and they are a critical technology for the reliability and resilience of the U.S. power grid. Previously, Eversource built transmission lines with aluminum conductor steel-supported (ACSS) capable of carrying twice the power of traditional aluminum conductors steel reinforced (ACSR).
E3X Technology further enhances the performance of ACSS by reducing line losses, improving reliability and increasing capacity. E3X Technology improves heat dissipation from overhead lines resulting in cooler conductors. Lower temperature conductors have lower line losses, enabling E3X-enhanced lines to deliver more power to customers across New England with less wasted energy. Reliability is also enhanced by reducing conductor sag and the risk that conductors exceed maximum design temperatures, even under emergency loading, which may occur during extreme weather events.
“As we focus on producing cutting-edge, high-quality conductors that help enhance the grid, we’re looking at solutions that will enhance its reliability, prevent blackouts and reduce overall maintenance costs,” said Brian DiLascia, Senior Vice President of Power Distribution at Prysmian Group North America. “We are excited to partner with Eversource on this initiative and help facilitate the sustainable energy transition while facilitating our customer’s carbon neutral goals.”
Prysmian’s E3X Technology is made with sustainability in mind, not just from an application standpoint but from production. E3X is made with low-carbon footprint materials, including recycled and green metal sources, meaning it not only reduces energy losses and carbon emissions on deployment, but its production remains sustainability-focused.

The European Green Deal is the new growth strategy for Europe. It pursues economic growth decoupled from carbon emissions through the integration of the ecological variable in all strategic policies.
In recent years, a major effort has been made to decarbonise the European economy, which has led the continent to achieve practically all the objectives expected for 2020: 20% improvement in energy efficiency, a 20% share of renewables in final consumption, and a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions.
Now, the most polluting European sectors from the point of view of CO2 emissions are (in order of emission) transport, housing and industry. This reality puts Europe on the ropes if it wants to reach the Paris agreements and the commitment to be Carbon Neutral by 2050, since the most polluting sectors are also the most difficult to transform.
Aware of this, Europe has thrown a crack at fossil fuels by putting on the table a financial mechanism that will guarantee the Energy Transition, and will mobilize at least €100 billion in investment and specific support for the regions, and key sectors for the transition towards a new emission-free economy. Within the Sustainable Europe Investment Plan investment will be made in the strategic axes that allow an accelerated transition towards a low-carbon economy, with innovative technologies and a first-rate environmental commitment. These axes are the following:
- Environmentally friendly technologies
- Supporting industry for industrial innovation
- Deployment of cleaner, cheaper and more efficient public and private transport systems. healthier
- Decarbonisation of the energy sector
- Advocacy to make buildings more energy efficient
- Collaboration with international partners for new standards and agreements
The axes are found within seven priority areas of action (in green in the image) established within the Green Pact or Green Deal, which will be where the main efforts are focused at least over the next ten years and through which it is expected to transform all sectors of the economy.

A stem cell injection is a fairly simple, in-office procedure that takes about an hour to complete. There are just a few things you need to prepare in advance.
Make sure you inform us if you have had a steroid injection into the joint we are treating. As you may know, steroids can cause degeneration of cartilage in a joint so we want the joint free of steroids for one month before the injection and for six months after.
There are very few medications you need to discontinue before your treatment, but let our staff know what you are taking to make sure there is nothing you need to discontinue. We do perform stem cell injections on patients on blood thinners, but please inform us before the procedure.
As a precautionary measure, we have you limit the use of the injected joint for 3-5 days after the procedure. For hips and knees, this means we’d like you to be off your feet except for light walking around the house and for shoulders it means limited use and no lifting, stretching or vigorous motion. For hips and knees, we will send you home with a walker or crutches to further limit the amount of pressure you put on those joints. Make sure to block out 3-5 days after your procedure where you can rest and stay off your feet.
We also recommend that you discontinue anti-inflammatories for as long as you can tolerate after your procedure. There is some literature which suggests the inflammatory response within the joint can help signal to the newly introduced stem cells where they should go and what they should do. While there is no definitive evidence that stopping anti-inflammatories has a large effect, we recommend limiting the use if possible after your injection.

“If annuals are the laughter in a garden, then bulbs are the magic and promise.”
Bornstein, Fross and O’Brien24
Blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum) are pretty native spring flowers with a giggle-inducing name. They are widely distributed within California and are frequently seen in open, grassy areas where the long, leafless stems bounce balls of blue-violet flowers above the surrounding vegetation.
Blue dicks grow from corms (specialized underground stems, much like bulbs), which allow the plant to go dormant during periods of environmental stress such as drought or fire. These corms are rich in carbohydrates and are prized food for a variety of animals, from bear and deer to pocket gophers. They were eaten raw or cooked by native Americans. In some parts of California, blue dick corms may have been a more important food source than acorns.

The Main Court auditorium of the Supreme Court of Nigeria in Abuja will host the swearing-in ceremony for the new Appeal Court Justices.
On Wednesday, September 20, 2023, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), will administer the oath of office to nine newly selected Justices of the Court of Appeal.

When playing poker, you’re likely to come across some people who are good at poker bluffing. Bluffers are notorious for their unpredictability, which makes them hard to read. There are ways to tell if a person is bluffing, though, such as their body language.
Avoid over-bluffing in poker
The first thing to keep in mind when bluffing in poker is that you need to be selective. If you bluff all the time, you run the risk of getting called on most hands. So, bluffing sparingly is the best way to increase your poker winnings.
It is also important to consider the strength of your opponents’ hands before making a bluff. Learn how your opponents’ hands typically perform before the flop and how much they usually bet at the start of a hand. You should also learn what their starting hand ranges are based on their position.
The purpose of bluffing in poker is to get your opponent to fold if you have a better hand than them. While this is an excellent strategy when you are facing weak opponents, it doesn’t work as well if you are playing against three or more opponents. Moreover, you need to be sure that you’re in the right place and timing when you use this technique. Otherwise, you may look amateurish.
A good poker strategy includes bluffing to win the pot. It is crucial to know the strength of your hand, but remember that bluffing too often can make your range weaker. It can also cause your opponents to adjust to your game style.
The first thing to remember when counting poker hands is to divide by two. For example, if you have 8-7 of hearts, multiply the number of Aces by two. This will give you the number of possible hole card combos for the hand. However, you should avoid double counting. The math behind poker combinatorics says that you should never double count a hand.
Another method of counting poker hands involves labeling them. A one pair hand is made up of one pair cards with three remaining cards of a different value. On the flop, you may have an opponent with A4s and a pair of sevens. A four-card flush will have a big impact on your opponent’s range.
Combinatorics is a mathematical concept used to determine the best starting hand combinations in poker. It considers the cards known to a player and narrows down the possible hand combinations. This helps players make informed decisions about their hand versus their opponent’s range. There are 169 starting hands in poker, and a total of 1326 possible combinations. This includes suited unpaired hands, pocket pairs, and offsuit unpaired hands.
Using a bluff strategy
Using a bluff strategy in poker can be extremely helpful. However, you need to think carefully about how to bluff. First, you need to know how strong your opponents’ hands are. Knowing how to read your opponent’s hands is very important for bluffing. Practicing your hand reading skills will help you in many aspects of poker.
In addition to being careful when using a bluff, you should also be selective in your choices. If you bluff too often, you will be called. This is because people will take you as betting on most hands. Therefore, the most effective bluff strategy is to use it sparingly.
You can use this strategy when you think your opponents are overly confident with their hands. Using a bluff strategy can help you win when you aren’t confident enough to make a risky bet. For instance, you can bet with a lower value than your opponents to make your opponents think you have a weak hand. By using a low-value bet, you can encourage your opponents to bet, which will increase the pot size.
Using a bluff poker strategy can also help you win when you have mediocre hands. These hands can turn into moneymakers if you use them correctly. It is important to know your opponent’s bluffing frequency and range to get the best results.
Keeping a straight face
Keeping a poker face is an important part of your game. You can’t let others see your emotions, and you want to look as cool as possible at the table. Many poker players have been criticized for their robotic-like demeanor, so it’s important to remain calm and focused throughout a hand.
Keeping a poker face is a simple technique that a player can use to maintain a neutral expression. This includes keeping the face relaxed and looking into the opponent’s eyes. You should also avoid blinking excessively, as this shows signs of stress. In addition, you can wear sunglasses during a game to prevent yourself from looking distracted while playing.
The poker face has been associated with the game of poker since the second half of the nineteenth century. The idea was created to make it more difficult for other players to guess a player’s hand value, which could be beneficial to the player’s bluffing strategy. Players who keep their hand value secret avoid giving the other player a false impression of their emotions, which would be a huge disadvantage.
The art of the poker face has become more sophisticated as poker players learn to control their emotions and play poker with a straight face. By using this skill, you can keep your opponent guessing and win the game. It’s best to study your own facial tendencies and use the one that works best for you.
Using a semi-bluff
Semi-bluffing is a very powerful strategy for winning at poker. You can use it to increase your hand strength or even fold your opponent completely. This is especially useful for hands like open-ended straight draws and flush draws, which are weak when they are just draws but have decent potential to become bigger hands when you bet with continuation betting.
Using a semi-bluff is a technique in poker that involves hedging your bet and risking something else to improve your hand. This strategy is used both in live and online poker, and can help you improve your game. While many poker players are not familiar with this strategy, you should know that it can help you win more poker games.
Semi-bluffs are best used when your opponents are not aggressive. Semi-bluffs have a good chance of success as long as you have a number of outs to cover them. However, you must be cautious and know how to use it effectively.
Semi-bluffs are much more valuable than straight bluffs because they are less risky. They give you a chance to complete your hand when your opponent folds, which makes them a good choice if you are playing tight players.
The key to avoiding maniacs when playing poker is to understand what to look for and not play along with them. While these players are a rarity, they can be dangerous. Whether they are drunk or playing micros at a higher stake, these players will try to bluff, keep the pot small, or even hang themselves.
One of the easiest ways to spot a maniac is to watch what they do. For example, a TAG player may only play the top ten percent of hands preflop, whereas a maniac will play the entire range, including low-value hands. The maniac also tends to raise their bets and never fold. While this style is not necessarily detrimental to your game, it can make you feel frustrated when you see a maniac.
Another way to avoid maniacs is to stay away from high-variance games. Those games with maniacs will make you lose a lot of money, and the variance will be huge. You should also ensure that you have a bankroll that is large enough to withstand such a variance.
If you’re playing against a maniac, you should play slowly. They will likely raise if you’re weak, and you’ll need to make sure you’re not the one making them raise. In addition, a maniac will frequently defend postflop with weak hands, which is why you need to have a plan for dealing with them.

BELAGAVI: The prevailing water crisis has affected normal life in Belagavi city with educational institutions planning to switch to online classes, hospitals postponing minor surgeries and industries reducing the number of working hours.

St Paul’s English Medium School, one of the prestigious educational institutions in north Karnataka, has decided to switch to online mode from Monday due to shortage of water. St Paul’s School falls under the Belagavi Cantonment Board (BCB), where water crisis has reached its peak. The school, with a strength of 2,200 students, on Friday had announced plans for online classes from Saturday and later postponed that to Monday as parents of one of the students have supplied two tanker water. A few more schools will switch to online classes if the city doesn’t get rain in a day or two.
Father Savio Abreu, principal of the school, said that the campus has an open well and a borewell which have completely dried up following which it was decided to go online. “Water supplied by a parent on Friday was used on Saturday and we would switch to online classes from Monday if we fail to get water till Sunday night,” he said.
Father Sebastian Pereira, vice principal of the school, said that it was the prime responsibility of the school to provide safe drinking water to students, apart from toilets and washrooms.
The Rakaskop reservoir, one of the primary sources of water for Belagavi city, has just half-a-feet of mud water. The district administration is supplying water in tankers to the rural areas. Things would turn from bad to worse if the city doesn’t receive rain within a week.
Many private hospitals that buy water have postponed minor surgeries and are attending to only emergency cases.

As the water sources have gone dry, many government district hospitals are already following the same.
The 1,000-bedded district hospital in Belagavi, which is attached to Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS), has planned to buy water from private water sellers. Since the cost was not affordable, the institute, which has a medical college, has planned to send the students of the hostels to their native places so that it can utilise available water for inpatients.
BIMS director Dr Ashok Shetty said that there is no alternative than supplying water to inpatients, mainly those in the maternity wards. Industries in Belagavi have also reduced the number of working shifts due to scarcity of water, which is affecting the economic sector. Belgaum Chamber of Commerce and
Industries former chairman Vikas Kalghatagi said many industries have been closed down and some are reducing the number of working hours.
City Corporation commissioner Rudresh Chali said: “We are responding to serious problems. City Corporation has proposed to disilt and recharge wells to get water.”

Pelosi Trashes Attorney General: 'I Don't Trust Barr, I Trust Mueller'
Democratic House Speaker claims Barr is doing 'Trump's bidding' in testimony
Following Attorney General William Barr's testimony before the Senate on Wednesday that he believed the FBI 'did spy' on the Trump campaign in 2016, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi questioned Barr's independence from President Donald Trump.
Pelosi argued that Barr's testimony and the pursuit of 'spying' during the 2016 campaign impair his position as a law enforcement officer.
The Democrat asserted she was 'very concerned' about Barr's handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's final report which proved there was no Russian conspiracy, according to an interview with the Associated Press.
Pelosi also accused Barr of doing Trump's political bidding in his s testimony at a Senate hearing.
"He is not the attorney general of Donald Trump. He is the attorney general of the United States," Pelosi told AP.
"I don't trust Barr, I trust Mueller."
Pelosi and other Democrats have demanded the release of the full Mueller report, mounting pressure on the attorney general before his release of the 400-page document.
Last month, Pelosi, in a closed-door meeting Tuesday asked Democrats to “handle this professionally, officially, patriotically, strategically" and told them to “be calm” before asking them to “take a deep breath," following the release of the Mueller report.
The House Speaker added, “Let’s just get the goods,” referring to the full Mueller report.
On Wednesday, Barr confirmed he expects the redacted version of the report to be released within a week.
Pelosi said it was 'matter of time' before the full report is made public.
"We will see it," she said.
"My view is that impeachment is very divisive in the country, and when we see what we need to see it may be imperative that he be impeached. But up until then, he's not worth it," Pelosi said.
Barr also stated earlier that he was getting ready to investigate anti-Trump bias in the FBI’s 2016 probe into the Trump campaign.
“I have an obligation to make sure government power is not abused,” Barr said.
The Trump campaign released a video to its supporters titled, “Collusion Hoax,” which depicted various Democratic accusing Trump of collusion with Russia.
Trump’s campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh, accused Pelosi in March of aiding the false narrative pushed by House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) regarding Robert Mueller's Russia probe.
“Nancy Pelosi put Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler at the top of two of the most powerful committees in the House, and they now have a severe credibility problem,” Murtaugh said in an email to Breitbart.

Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects a person’s blood sugar regulation because cells are not responding to insulin produced or there is not enough production of the same (Casey, 2011). This disease can affect both children and adults but the most affected are individuals over the age of 45. According to AHRQ (2012), the most affected groups in the United States are the Minorities, especially the Hispanic community followed by individuals of Black-American origin. The individuals most affected are usually above the age of 45, since their lifestyles are not as good as younger individuals. From the statistics presented by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, it is also evident that the minorities that are exposed to diabetes have the high prevalence due to their lifestyles. Diabetes continues to be a disease that has social stigma to those suffering from it as it demands a lot of energy and time and it has long time complications to an individual’s body (Hall, 2011). Diabetes also happens to be a very physical disease that affects major organs in the body. Obese people tend to be more vulnerable to having this disease than healthy people and they struggle to manage this disease in all ways they can. This is mostly caused by the lifestyle these people live, for example, the kind of food they eat, lack of exercise and stress which makes them more vulnerable than others.
Casey (2011), states that the factors that determines the outcome of the disease and the final effect that it has on the individual include the lifestyles that the individuals live and the social stigma that the patients undergo. In defining the lifestyles that many patients live in, it is important to mention the economic variable. AHRQ (2012) mentions that, in minority groups, economic barriers and the cultural difference plays an important role in determining the outcome of the treatment that patients are given. Some patients usually face a lot of economic barriers that prevent them from getting insulin treatment and they sometimes do not place their own medical needs before those of family members. Other variables that determine the outcome of the disease include distrust for medical personnel and preferences for other remedies (Fain, 2009).
However, one of the most important variables in the management of the disease is the social stigma that the patients face. According to the Center for Disease Control, the social stigma that affects people living with diabetes increases the mortality from the disease (Tessaro, Smith and Rye, 2005). This means that the stigma associated with the disease works negatively in helping in treating it. The impact of stigma on the progression and treatment of Type 2 diabetes is usually increased in regions where individuals have low access to public education and sensitization. Coupled with the economic disparities in the people in these regions, the resultant chronic disease self-management programs are severely impaired. This indicates that social stigma plays one of the biggest roles in determining the outcome of the disease in individuals (Nazarko, 2009).

Willow Garage offers free robots to researchers
Imagine if every time someone wanted to develop a new piece of software, they first had to design and build a computer to run it. Not only would this greatly add to the time and expense required for software development, but it would also mean that all of us consumers would have to own multiple computers. Well, that’s what it’s like in the field of robotics. Because there is no robot-equivalent of the PC or Mac, every time someone wants a robot that can do something new, a new robot has to be built from scratch. Wouldn’t it be easier if there were one standard robotic platform, for which people just designed new hardware or software? Californian robotics company Willow Garage seems to think so, which is why they’re giving ten of their PR2 robots to deserving research organizations.
The PR2 Beta Program is open to groups who plan on making use of the robot in existing or planned research projects. The groups will regularly share their findings with each other, and with the coordinators at Willow Garage. Everyone’s successes will be written into the PR2’s open-source software platform, called ROS (Robot Operating System), or built into new versions of the robot. Like the Linux operating system for computers, ROS will be available to anyone, anywhere, to use or to add to. Willow Garage hopes that the PR2 and ROS will become a common focus for the robotics community, wherein developers can learn from and build upon each others’ research, instead of working in isolation.
The hardware and software
The PR2 and ROS are spin-offs of technology developed at California’s Stanford University. The robot is approximately the size of an adult human, has two arms and multiple sensors, and is optimized for common tasks such as navigating buildings, opening doors and grasping objects. ROS provides basic planning, perception and control capabilities, along with a set of analysis, visualization and debugging tools. While just about anything could be done with the PR2, Willow Garage is particularly hoping for a future where robots assist the elderly and disabled, assist with household chores, and perform operational activities such as warehouse work. Keep that in mind, if you send them a proposal.
How to get yours
In order to qualify for a free robot, groups should already be involved in “research that will advance the field of personal robotics”, have robotics and software development experience, be able to accommodate a PR2, and be able to release their code under an open source license. Willow Garage would also prefer groups that don’t plan on using their robot for military purposes, or that rely on military funding (so if you want to create your own version of that annoying robot from Short Circuit, forget it). For all the details on eligibility and deadlines, pay a visit to Willow Garage’s website. And just so you know, they do expect you to return the robot in no more than two years. Of course, within that time, you could have gotten your robot to build you a whole army of PR3’s.

Fine Americas appointed new CEO of its Nutrient Technologies business unit
Fine Americas, Inc. announced that Fine's President Greg Johnson will assume leadership in Dinuba, California-based Nutrient Technologies.
Both companies are owned by the De Sangosse Group, a global enterprise based in Agen, France, which develops, manufactures and markets products focused on crop protection and plant nutrition markets. Each company will continue to operate as an independent organization under Johnson's leadership.
"I'm thrilled Greg has accepted this expanded role," says Julian Ward, Managing Director of the Fine Holdings Group. "Greg's background, global experience and proven success in growing the Fine Americas brand in North and South America makes him a natural fit for this position with Nutrient Technologies."
In his new role, Johnson will work closely with each management team to continue growing existing markets while expanding the development and integration of De Sangosse nutritional and bio-stimulant technologies for both companies throughout North and South America.
"We're confident he will continue to drive the growth of both organizations and ensure the efficient flow of De Sangosse's technologies to North American markets," says Nicolas Fillon, CEO, De Sangosse Group.

MELBOURNE, FLA.—Judson Ben Locke, Florida Institute of Technology December 2011 graduate in physics, presented his undergraduate research on “Nuclear Terrorism Prevention with Particle Physics Technology” in the U.S. House of Representatives building on April 24. His was one of 73 posters selected from over 850 submissions for presentation to Congressional members and staffers at the 2012 “Posters on the Hill” event.
The annual event is organized by the Council on Undergraduate Research. On a national stage, it showcases top research projects in the natural and social sciences, arts and humanities conducted around the country by undergraduates.
Locke, now a software engineer at Harris Corp., was joined in the event by his Florida Tech research adviser Marcus Hohlmann, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Space Sciences and the project’s principal investigator. Also attending was Michael Staib, physics graduate student, who worked on the project. Their team has been researching the emerging technology of muon tomography, which applies state-of-the-art detectors of subatomic particles originally developed for basic research in particle physics to the detection of nuclear contraband in cargo.
A prototype of a compact muon tomography scanner has been operating in Hohlmann’s High Energy Physics laboratory on campus since late 2011. Locke had previously won the Northrop Grumman Science Champion Award for this research at Florida Tech’s 2011 Science and Engineering Showcase.
The Florida Tech delegation also had the opportunity to meet with staff members from the offices of Florida Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, and Florida Congressman Bill Posey. They discussed the research project as well as future prospects for federal funding for basic and applied physics research.

CT scans of vertebrate fish fossils have found early signs of sophisticated electroreception systems, which paved the way for the amazing detection ability of sharks, lungfish and other living species.
The research, led by Flinders University palaeontologists Ben King and Professor John Long, found evidence of electroreception in the fossils of Devonian lungfish – one of the earliest vertebrate sensory systems to appear.
“Electroreception is difficult to study in fossils, but synchrotron and micro-CT scans allow us to look inside the fossils and reveal 400 million-year-old sensory systems in stunning detail,” says lead author Benedict King, a PhD student at Flinders University.
“The discovery of electroreception in fossils of this age suggests that this sensory system played an important role in the early evolution of vertebrates, and allowed them to adapt to specialised ecological roles,” he says.
The new research paper, ‘Electroreception in Early Vertebrates: Survey, Evidence and New Information,’ by Benedict King, Yuzhi Hu (ANU) and Professor John Long, is published in the journal Palaeontology, and can be read online
The researchers applied CT scanning to some of the earliest vertebrate fossils, revealing that early members of the bony fish group already had sophisticated electroreception systems, enabling them to detect electric fields in their surroundings.
Electroceptors have been lost and gained by fish and amphibious species over epochs, but sharks and several other living primitive fish such as lungfish, which hail from the Devonian period, have this characteristic that is thought to be one of the earliest vertebrate sensory systems to appear, although its origins are mysterious.
“To date, we do not know the origin of electroreception, which is a major sensory system in living vertebrates, but this paper represents a ground-breaking study giving the first detailed overview of electrosensory systems in ancient fish,” says Professor Long.
“We now know that early ancestors to modern sharks and bony fish – the armoured placoderm fish – had more complex sensory systems with new organs present we never knew about before this paper.
“Jawless fish like lampreys have complex electrosensory buds and sharks have complex electrosensory apparatus that are highly sensitive to detecting electric field in water, but nothing exists in between these conditions.”
A new kind of organ found on some placoderms is a large sensory pit on the cheek, demonstrating that much change and development went on at the origin of these complex sensory systems.
The studies continues, as the researchers cannot yet confirm the actual function of this newly discovered ampullae – but they can verify that it was not part of the regular lateral line sensory system.

“Wow, you must be really smart to get a Ph.D.,” someone once said to Dr. Anne Marie Bach-Starling.
“No, I’m not any smarter than anyone else — I just work really hard,” she said. “I make a commitment to finish what I want to get done.”
And she did get it done. Bach-Starling secured her doctoral degree in psychology with an emphasis in cognition and instruction Thursday afternoon at Grand Canyon University's Fall Commencement.
That doesn’t mean there were no tribulations along the way.
The day Starling started her doctoral program, her mother was put into hospice care.
“The doctor told me it was time,” she said. “It was a very significant and hard experience for not just myself, but for my family."
Her mother died a few weeks later. Bach-Starling already had planned to center her dissertation topic on grief, but now she debated whether the timing was right.
“I knew researching grief as I was healing would be too much for me," she said, "so I chose a grief topic that was not an intense experience for me yet was one I was very interested in.”
Her dissertation titled, “Sports Fans Describe Experiences, Conceptualizations, and Responses to Parasocial Relationship and Breakup,” focuses on grief through the lens of a sports fan.
The night before her first day of data collection, she received a call that almost halted her dissertation process. Her father passed away late that evening, and she had to call her six siblings and tell them.
She questioned whether she should continue her data collection the next morning. But a familiar voice interrupted that thought.
“I heard my dad’s voice clearly in my head tell me, ‘Get it done,'" said Bach-Starling. “I got up and did my interviews. Having something to do helped me cope with my grief.”
Less than a week later, Bach-Starling received even worse news. One of her two children, son Luke, had gone missing in the mountains of Colorado. His death was confirmed eight weeks later.
“At this point, my whole world stopped — everything stopped,” said Bach-Starling.
Aside from receiving support from her husband, Jeff, daughter Milo, 20, siblings, nieces and nephews, Bach-Starling turned to the doctoral faculty for support. She lists many of them as mentors.
After contributing to GCU for 13 years, she was promoted to a full-time position as a professor and is now a chair for the College of Doctoral Studies.
“I’m really honored that GCU thought about me when deciding who could contribute to the doctoral program,” said Bach-Starling.
Equally as thankful is Dr. Daniel Nichols, who earned his doctoral degree in psychology with an emphasis in performance psychology.
“Psychology was always my niche in terms of motivating people, which is valuable whether it’s the hiring process or getting people to compete at their highest level,” he said.
The doctoral degree provides great value to his career and fulfills his desire to help others.
As a former GCU basketball coach, associate athletic director and current Director of Club Sports for GCU, as well as a licensed therapist for 25 years, the degree was right up his alley.
“I wanted to give myself extra credibility and get more into the mental health field,” he said. “I’m really interested in building others up and getting them to where they want to be.”
Like Bach-Starling, Nichols faced unexpected hurdles while on his doctoral journey as well.
“I used what I learned throughout my degree to have the discipline to stick with the process because a lot happened,” said Nichols. “My mother fell ill and I was her caregiver, I was busy with jobs, other unexpected life events, and changes in my committee stalled my doctoral degree process, but just being able to move forward inch by inch was how I was able to get it done.”
Nichols has one piece of advice for those starting their academic journey:
“Choose what you have a real passion for,” he said. “When you’re really interested in the subject matter, your job won’t feel like a job.”
The list of other GCU and GCE faculty who graduated with their doctorates this week includes:
- Dr. Cameron Whitcomb, Associate Vice President of GCE, Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology
- Dr. Jeremy Hayden, Academic Records Manager, Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology
- Dr. TiffianyAnn Lundine, Dissertation Education Counselor, Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership
- Dr. Magen Branham, College of Humanities instructor, Doctor of Philosophy in General Psychology
- Dr. Thomas Joseph, Online Faculty, Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership

SF State students earn $10,000 in financial aid for serving the community
‘I’m not just a student anymore. I’m part of the community now, which makes me even happier,’ Childhood and Adolescent Development major Amalia Capilla says
Since childhood, Amalia Capilla has dreamed of becoming a teacher. A Childhood and Adolescent Development major at San Francisco State University, she gains valuable experience by working with families through a nonprofit organization, the Community Alliance for Special Education. But this is no unpaid volunteer internship. Capilla is among 50 San Francisco State students selected to receive up to $10,000 in aid through the new #CaliforniansForAll College Corps.
“I’m connecting everything to my classes and I’m getting so much experience from it,” said Capilla, who plans to graduate in 2023. “I’m not just a student anymore. I’m part of the community now, which makes me even happier.”
Leaders at the 14 San Francisco nonprofit organizations partnering with SF State are also happier, thanks to the value that students are providing.
“They are working with our educational program [and] community outreach, and they have been phenomenal in terms working with students who come to our outdoor classroom space,” said Hollis Pierce-Jenkins, executive director of Literacy for Environmental Justice. “We also do advocacy in the community around raising awareness about the concerns around health disparities in the community. They’re monitoring air quality, water and soil.”
Just before fall break, Capilla and five other SF State student fellows helped distribute Thanksgiving turkeys and other foods to senior citizens at the IT Bookman Community Center. It’s less than a mile from campus in the Lakeview neighborhood.
Jocelyn Murillo, a second-year Management major, is one of the four students working at Bookman’s community wellness hub that offers hot meals, food distribution, COVID-19 tests and vaccinations and other services. She is inspired by the dedication of the staff.
“They’re trying to figure out a way to help any way they can. Whoever walks in, they try to help them,” Murillo said. “I feel like that’s me, like that’s a part of me. This is just another step up for me in going further beyond in a community I don’t know, a community I have never met, but a community that I’m a part of. And I love that.”
The #CaliforniansForAll College Corps is the first statewide service program open to AB 540 Dreamer students, which was very attractive to Capilla.
“With this program, it’s definitely giving me a bigger chance to [graduate] and make a difference,” she said. “Not just with my family but with other undocumented students, I want to be a role model. Even if you’re undocumented, you can still make it through. You can still find resources to support you and get you through college.”
The #CaliforniansForAll College Corps, a first-of-its-kind partnership funded through a $146 million investment from the Office of the Governor’s California Volunteers, launched at 46 colleges across California this fall. Over 3,200 students statewide are participating in 2022 – 2023, selected from 10,000 applicants.
Up to 50 SF State students are accepted for the yearlong program (with 10 slots reserved for AB 540 Dreamers). They serve in the areas of K – 12 education, climate action or food insecurity. The program is open to undergraduates in any major and combines academics and hands-on work experience, so students can gain the skills they need for the future and help pay for school while giving back to San Francisco communities. Prior experience is not necessary for most of the opportunities.
SF State undergraduates can apply to the #CaliforniansForAll College Corps online through the University’s Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE). Applications will be accepted between Dec. 19, 2022, and March 3, 2023.

Sir Keir Starmer has refused to commit to further spending under a Labour government amid growing calls from unions, including the party’s biggest donor, for him to back more of their policy priorities.
The Labour leader reaffirmed his defence of the party’s focus on economic responsibility but said it will not hinder “bold and reforming” policies.
Touring broadcast studios on Sunday, Starmer confirmed that he would not change the Conservatives’ two-child benefit cap and said he would wait until closer to the general election to announce Labour’s approach to housing allowance, which has been frozen since 2020.
Pressed on whether Labour would spend more in power, he told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme: “A Labour government always will invest in our public services.”
Asked whether he is relaxed about being called a “fiscal conservative”, he replied: “I don’t mind what label people put on me. I do want to make my argument.
“My argument is this: What was absolutely plain from last year’s mini-budget is if you lose control of the economy it’s working people who pay.”
It came as general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union Mick Lynch said people cannot “spot the difference” between the two main parties anymore.
“He (Starmer) won’t dare mention the word ‘socialism’,” he told Sky News’ Sophy Ridge on Sunday.
“I want to hear that word mentioned frequently, and I want to see a redistribution of wealth in our society, because there are a lot of very wealthy people and there are too many very poor people.
“And now people in the middle are being squeezed as well, with rents and mortgages skyrocketing. He doesn’t seem to be on the side of the people of this country.”
Labour also faced pressure over the weekend from Sharon Graham, head of Unite, who warned there will be “no blank cheque” for the party and urged it to be “bolder”.
The union, which is the UK’s second largest and Labour’s biggest financial backer, wants renationalisation of steel and energy companies to be near the top of the party’s priority list, the BBC reported.
Starmer has been emphatic about prioritising “financial responsibility” over reckless spending as Labour seeks to reassure voters it can manage the economy.
But he said on Sunday that this would not prevent the party from introducing bold reforms, including to the planning system.
“I’m not going to put an arbitrary figure on it but we need hundreds of thousands of more houses. I won’t shy away from it,” he told the BBC.
In an effort to distance the party from environmental campaign group Just Stop Oil, with which it shares a mutual donor, Sir Keir also denied that officials had met representatives.
He branded reports that Labour is engaging with the activists “nonsense”, adding: “There’s a right to protest but it’s not an absolute right.”

A warning has been issued over advance loan fee scams after a 26% rise in cases last summer compared with 2021.
This year, the rising cost of living coupled with summer spending pressures could increase the risk of loan fee fraud, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is warning.
Loan fee fraud – where someone pays a fee for a loan they never receive – typically results in a £260 loss.
This type of fraud usually peaks in the summer months, according to the regulator.
It comes as just over half (55%) of people are more worried about their finances this summer than last year, according to the FCA.
A survey commissioned by the FCA found that nearly a quarter (24%) of those surveyed are turning to credit or loans to help fund their summer spending.
The summer months may place an additional squeeze on parents, who face the costs of added childcare, keeping children entertained over the summer and back-to-school expenses.
Seven in ten (70%) parents with children aged under 18 who were surveyed said they are worried about their personal finances this summer.
And, among those going on holiday, parents with children aged under 18 tended to be more worried about funding their holiday, with more than half (56%) of these parents saying they are worried, compared with 35% across households generally.
The FCA is urging people looking for a loan to protect themselves from scams and remember that if they are cold called, emailed out of the blue, or asked to pay an up-front fee, it could be a scam.
Other warning signs of a loan scam include being put under pressure to pay quickly or by using an unusual method.
If people need to apply for a loan, the FCA urges them to check the information on its website. This includes checking the FCA register to find out if the firm they are applying to for a loan is authorised.
It is also important to remember that scammers can try to imitate legitimate firms by using similar names and copying their branding.
Steve Smart, executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA, said: “For many, summer brings with it the chance to relax and unwind but it also brings with it financial pressures – from holidays and festivals to funding days out, or out-of-term childcare for parents.
“With inflation, energy costs, and rising mortgage bills, this summer spending will come at a time of enhanced vulnerability for many.

Killing of Bangladeshi blogger Niloy Neel draws UN condemnation
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as well as two independent United Nations human rights experts have condemned the killing of Niloy Neel, the fourth Bangladeshi blogger hacked to death so far this year, and called for bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Mr. Ban, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, voiced his deep concern over these “gruesome” crimes and their impact on the exercise of freedom of expression in Bangladesh.
“He calls on the Government of Bangladesh to bring those responsible for the murder of Mr. Neel and the other bloggers to justice in an expeditious manner and act to ensure that all Bangladeshis can enjoy freedom of expression and all other human rights without fear.”
The Special Rapporteurs on freedom of expression, David Kaye, and on extrajudicial executions, Christof Heyns, said in a news release issued yesterday that the violent killing of another critical voice in Bangladesh shows that serious threats to freedom of expression persist in the country.
“It is vital to ensure the identification of those responsible for this and the previous horrendous crimes, as well as those who may have masterminded the attacks.”
The experts stressed that the organized targeting of critical voices aims at promoting a culture of silence and fear, and affects the society as a whole.
“The Bangladeshi authorities must not only continue to strongly condemn these horrendous acts against freedom of expression, but should also ensure that their words are followed by more effective efforts to ensure greater accountability and prevent this kind of violence.”
Mr. Neel's murder follows the killing of fellow bloggers Avijit Roy in February, Washiqur Rahman in March and Ananta Bijoy Das in May. The experts reiterated their call on the Bangladeshi authorities to consider specific initiatives to prevent the recurrence of attacks against writers and activists.
Independent experts or special rapporteurs are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back, in an unpaid capacity, on specific human rights themes.

Korean e-commerce giant discloses 3Q performances
South Korea’s e-commerce giant Coupang announced on Nov. 10 that it had chalked up $91 million in net income during the third quarter of this year, turning a profit for the first time in eight years.
The Seoul-based company, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, also recorded $5.1 billion in quarterly revenue, up 10 percent from a year ago.
The expanding user base appears to underpin Coupang’s performance as around 18 million customers purchased products through Coupang at least once during the July-September period, up 7 percent year-on-year.
Coupang’s revenues mostly come from South Korea, but it has tried to tap into other Asian countries, including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and China.
Since its foundation in 2014, Coupang has carried out aggressive marketing strategies to attract customers. As a result, its overall losses amounted to $4.4 billion over the past eight years.
However, it managed to reduce its losses of late, prompting observers to predict that it would turn a profit in the near future.
Coupang said that it could become profitable thanks to its investments in technology, infrastructure, supply chain optimization, and process innovation.
“Our continued progress is a reflection of billions of dollars invested over the past seven years to build an unrivaled network that integrates technology, fulfillment, and last-mile logistics,” Coupang’s founding CEO Bom Kim said.
“We will continue investing in process optimization and automation, including machine learning and robotics, to deliver even richer experiences and lower prices for our customers,” he added.
Watchers expect that Coupang will be able to remain profitable for the time being.
“Experts thought that Coupang would turn a profit next year at the earliest. But it did so faster than expected thanks to the popularity of the e-commerce services,” Prof. Seo Yong-gu at Sookmyung Women’s University said.
“Because Coupang expands its market share against major competitors, the company is likely to remain profitable for the years to come.”

Matrix Integration Helps Businesses Create Better Cybersecurity Plans
Matrix Integration published predictions for solutions that will become more prevalent in business cybersecurity frameworks, including the following:
- More companies will employ network access control (NAC) solutions. NAC solutions help IT administrators gain immediate access and visibility to quickly see who is on the system and what they’re doing.
- AI isn’t just for big businesses anymore. In 2020, more organizations will have access to AI tools that continuously monitor activity within networks and rapidly detect anomalies.
- Businesses often use multifactor authentication (MFA) in high-security industries like finance, but now it’s even easier for companies to employ the same technology to verify employees and guests who are using the network while keeping out unauthorized visitors.
- Single sign-on solutions continue to gain traction. These tools often work alongside MFA solutions to allow users to gain access to applications they’re authorized to use with just one login and password. This helps system administrators control access to the network while reducing the amount of information users need to remember.

Hundreds of neighbors gathered before the doors of Alguazas Town Hall on Saturday to protest against the serious situation of insecurity that the municipality is experiencing and the lack of police officers in the municipality. The neighbors protested united, without political flags or signs of by means, against what is a problem «of all», to the cry of «the united people will never be defeated» or «we are not afraid».
Three neighbors of the municipality were in charge to read the Manifesto against the Insecurity in which it explains the serious situation that lives the municipality and proposals are collected. This manifesto was signed at the concentration by 307 people and will be registered before the City Council of Alguazas and before the Government Delegation so that the competent authorities in each matter can take action.
Not even the rain that stoked strong shortly after beginning the rally could prevent neighbors from gathering before the consistory, under a single flag that was the fight against insecurity that frightens the neighbors and does not let them sleep peacefully. All the attendees had the opportunity to take the megaphone and we highlighted what an affected woman said when she shouted loudly «we have gotten wet today, I hope the mayor and the politicians who have not come do so too».
From Unit X Alguazas the concentration was supported and their councilors and members came to support all the people who came out to protest. For the spokesperson of UxA, José Gabriel García Bernabé, «it was a great success and a very exciting moment to see so many people united, putting aside the differences and giving us the hand to fight, we have shown that Alguazas is above any political party.»
The protesters there missed the second protest to the competent politicians to make decisions and announced that «we will go out to the street as many times as necessary, as well as if we have to go to Murcia, this fight has just begun.»
