On Mandatory Vaccinations
Who mainly works in care homes? Working class women who are often from the global majority or who are often migrants.
Just because they are doing a job that you don’t want to, it doesn’t mean that you own their body.
The truth is that, when you made the decision to put your loved one in a care home, you made a decision to put your life first. If not, you would have decided to do the hard work of caring for your loved one yourself.
Now, in the most splendid hypocrisy to date, you refuse the right of care workers to make the same decision. You refuse the right of a care worker to put themselves first for a change.
The solution here is not to force someone to undergo a medical procedure they do not want, it’s to take your loved one out of the care home and do the hard work of caring for them yourself.
Have you said no to that? Do you think it is a preposterous suggestion? Well, know this: whatever reason/s you have conjured up to reject the idea (your job? your time?), you are valuing higher than the bodily autonomy of another human being, and more than your “love” for your so-called loved one.

I'm still pretty new to tarot (under a year) and I have passion for it now. I'd love to learn and grow my understanding as well as intuition. I'd love to hear what everyone's favorite classes, books, and any other resources may be.
You beat me to it, CN As soon as i read the thread title, I thought "AT!!!"You're here at THE BEST tarot resource! Aeclectic Tarot. This site has everything you need or can even think of. And, if there is anything missing, just get in touch with the mods or Solandia to see if you can add that. Though I cannot imagine that there IS anything missing.

High Court Of Calcutta
L.M. Thapar vs. CIT
Sections 36(1)(iii), 37(1), 57, 261
Dipak Kumar Sen & Shyamal Kumar Sen, JJ.
IT Ref. No. 170 of 1977
21st July, 1987
DIPAK KUMAR SEN, J.:
The applicant, L. M. Thapar, seeks a certificate from us that the judgment delivered and order passed by this Court on 28th Jan., 1985, in IT Ref. No. 1970 of 177 (sic), involves substantial questions of law and is a fit one for appeal to the Supreme Court. The substantial questions of law are stated to be as follows :
” (a) Whether, in a case where an assessee has no available liquid funds at his disposal and borrows money for the purpose of payment of income-tax instead of liquidating his income-yielding assets, the interest paid on such borrowal utilised for the payment of income-tax can be allowed as a permissible deduction in computing the income of the assessee under s. 57 and/or s. 37 of the IT Act. ?
(b) Whether, under the circumstances aforesaid, interest paid on money borrowed to make annuity deposit under Chapter XXIIA of the said Act was an allowable deduction under s. 57 and/or s. 37 of the said Act ?”
It is stated that on identical questions, a certificate for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court has been given by this Court from its judgment in M. M. Thapar vs. CITby an order dt. 6th Feb., 1979. [reported at (1978) 114 ITR 331 (Cal) : TC41R.498].
Learned advocate for the Revenue drew our attention to a subsequent decision of the Supreme Court in Smt. Padmavati Jaikrishna vs. Addl. CIT (1987) 62 CTR (SC) 14 : (1987) 166 ITR 176 (SC) : TC41R.622, where the Supreme Court affirming the decision of the Gujarat High Court in (1975) 101 ITR 153 (Guj) : TC41R.624 has held that interest paid on loans was not an admissible deduction under s. 57 of the IT Act., 1961, where amounts were borrowed to pay taxes and annuity deposit and where the assessee derived income from other sources in the shape of interest and dividends. It was submitted that as the Supreme Court has since laid down the law, it is not necessary to grant a certificate for leave to appeal in the instant case.
We note that in this case the deduction has been claimed not only under s. 57 but also under s. 36 (1)(iii) of the IT Act.. In Smt. Padmavati Jaikrishna’s case (supra), the Supreme Court did not consider the question of admissibility of the deduction of interest paid on loans where s. 36 of the IT Act., 1961, was invoked. There is a difference in the language of ss. 36 and 57. Sec 36 provided for deduction of interest paid in respect of the capital borrowed for the purpose of the business whereas in s. 57, the deduction is allowed on expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of earning income through other sources. The expression “purpose of business” appears to be wider in scope than the expression “purpose of earning income”. By reason of the above and in view of the fact that a certificate has been already granted on identical questions in M. M. Thapar’s case (supra), we allow this application. We certify that it is a fit case for appeal to the Supreme Court. There will be an order in terms of prayer (a). Let the order for issue of the certificate be drawn up separately. Each party to pay and bear its own costs.
SHYAMAL KUMAR SEN, J.:
[Citation : 173 ITR 577]

ON VIEWUTE BERTOG: COMMON GROUND
The show Common Ground at Rosalux Gallery is an exhibition of new paintings, ceramics and poetry by Ute Bertog, bringing together a diverse group of work to look closer at the interstices between objects, mediums and ideas and explore their convergences.
In her practice the artist is drawn to pliable material for its ability to continuously yield to intuitive changes before time will fix materials into place, be it oil paint or clay. Similarly with collages of found text, where she accentuates the physicality of language and explores its possibilities to shift and turn until committed to the page. This continuous process of change is a way to emphasize the physicality of making, of working with materials of the earth in both clay and painting, which is traditionally made of pigments of the earth suspended in oil. Language is another medium deeply rooted in the physical body especially in its spoken form, establishing connections to others, bridging the spaces and finding common ground between.
ART WEEK EVENTPOPOVERS + POETRY
Poetry reading and conversation with local poet Sun Yung Shin and Rain Taxi editor Eric Lorberer Following the event the gallery will be open for regular hours from 12-4pm.
315 W 48th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419

Whether the retirement plan that is offered is a 403(b) or a 401(k) will depend on the type of employer you have. Both plans are similar. They both offer the ability to contribute funds through pre-tax deferrals and allow for tax deferred earnings. The 401(k) and 403(b) plans have a combined annual contribution limit and the assets accumulated in either type of plan can be moved into the other. However there are differences as well.
Non-profit organizations, educational institutions, religious institutions and certain hospitals can offer a 403(b) plan. Government employers cannot offer a 401(k) plan unless they offered a grandfathered plan that was established prior to 1986. They cannot offer both the 401(k) and 403(b) plan at once. Any employer other than a governmental employer can offer a 401(k) plan.
The type of investment allowed in a 403(b) plan is limited to annuities and mutual funds. The type of investment in a 401(k) plan is not limited to annuities and mutual funds but can also be invested in banks, savings and loans, US Treasury notes, municipal bonds, employer securities, stocks, bonds, guaranteed investment contracts, real estate and rare coins.
Employers offering 403(b) plans can offer matching contributions but the matched contributions are usually 100% vested and are much less common than in a 401(k) plan. If matching contributions are made to a 401(k) plan full vesting of the matched contributions are subject to a 3-year cliff vesting schedule or a six year graduated vesting schedule.

Episode & Guest Overview
Welcome back to another episode of Teach Traffic. I am your host, Ilana Wechsler. And today we are continuing on our eCommerce journey. And I have invited Owen Bolwell, from peachymama.com.au and a bunch of other websites to talk about his experience.
In the world of eCommerce. I am sort of embarking on my own journey in e-commerce, sort of stepping out of the agency space.
And I saw your post on a community that we’re both parts of which is Super Fast Business. about your experience with e-commerce and you sound like you had a lot of experience under your belt that I thought would be really valuable to share with our listeners today.
So welcome to today’s episode.
Oh, yeah. Thanks, Ilana. Thanks. It’s good to be here. Quite impromptu as we both agreed before. (laughs)
Yes, yes, exactly. We’ve got lots of things going on in our world. For me, I’m currently going through a 14-day retargeting challenge, which is a fun experience and proving to be a lot more work than I thought.
But that’s all good. You get that. And I’m sure you’ve got lots going on in your life. So thank you. And I appreciate you taking time out of your really busy day.
Do you want to sorta give us a little bit of a background? brief background about yourself and how you fell into eCommerce?
Yeah, well, look, I basically fell into ecommerce by accident, I would say I spent my early years in the music industry as a producer.
And so I was working with record companies and artists and things back in my youth and then started a family and got into marketing. I’ve always been, I’ve always been into marketing.
So I got into marketing and stepped into corporate for a while. And then my wife, Merril, started her small brand on the kitchen table nearly a decade ago, actually.
And she was in the fashion business for a while there. And she was making clothes for herself after our second child was born. And sort of after baby Mum Wear sort of not maternity but it’s after afterward.
And so she was making her own clothes and friends around her wanted the clothes and then that kind of snowballed. And it was it, you can sort of equate it to you’re in an aeroplane, right?
And you just, it’s just starting to go down the runway, you know. And it slowly, slowly, slowly. And sometimes it gets off the ground, but then it doesn’t get off the ground.
And sometimes it gets off the ground and doesn’t get off the ground. And I was going like that for I would say a couple of years. And we put a bit of money into it and just got it off. And she did some local manufacturing here.
And then I left corporate at the end of 2015 and basically jumped into the business into the brand, Peachy Mama, and running the marketing and the ecomm side.
And basically, you know, I’d already been doing it with her as a side hustle, you know, from about 2013 onwards. So we’d already made a lot of our mistakes back then.
And it was really starting to pick up steam towards the end of 2015. And that’s where I jumped in.
And so we grew it from there from the kitchen table. And we then took over the whole house. Basically there was stock everywhere down the hallways in every spare room.
You know, it was one of those sorts of businesses. Then eventually, one of our manufacturers started getting out of our garments made overseas.
Yeah, one of our manufacturers wanted to come in as an equity partner, and we hummed and hard for about a year on that one. And finally, we agreed to that and So they came in as an equity partner, they’re still our partners, which is fabulous. And that enabled us to really ramp up the company.
So we’ve got ourselves a warehouse, we got office space, we were able to hire some new, some designers, technicians, Social Media Manager. So we are able to get the real team together.
And basically, it allowed us to also get off the tools. So we weren’t picking and packing. We weren’t sending stuff out. We weren’t receiving goods in, we were basically focusing on building the business. Yeah, yep. And so that was really good.
And then we, I actually, I was over in America, to set up that particular part of the operation. So what we’re doing is we use a 3PL over there, third-party logistics warehouse.
So directly from the factory in China, the garments get sent directly to the warehouse in the US. A great bunch of people, I spent a while over there, figuring out the right one to go with.
We’ve got our customer service in California, and our social media manager over there is based in Florida, so it’s quite a….
Quite a global operation you’ve got going on.
Pursuing a Product that You’re Not a Target Audience of
And it’s amazing how it’s, it’s growing so fast.
But before we kind of go into where you are now with your eCommerce store, let’s just sort of backtrack a little bit and unpack how you did your market research.
I know that you’re personally a believer in playing or, you know, being your target audience, and obviously, your wife was your target customer for that.
Do you want to kind of discuss why you think that is so important, and it for potentially our listeners if they’re not their target audience?
Is it still worth pursuing something that you’re not your target audience?
Yeah, that’s a really good one. Because look, I want to step back just a little bit from that as well. There’s, there are two kinds of eCommerce stores, we can build here, we can do drop shipping model, which is you just have to jump on Instagram or LinkedIn and everyone’s spruiking, some kind of drop shipping, you know, get rich quick, make you, you know, a million dollars a year.
And then there’s the other one where you’ve got it, you’ve got a brand, you’ve got a product that you’ve developed, and that you’re passionate about. And that’s kind of tied in with a purpose. And then purpose, which brings us into being your customer for the product that you’re selling.
And so look that that’s been our journey, I can’t speak on the drop-shipping model. But there’s a few aspects of the drop-shipping model that kind of don’t make sense to me, as far as it’s hard enough out there in a competitive environment.
So that when you’re selling exactly the same thing as someone else’s selling, it just makes it even more difficult.
So I’ve actually had a little bit of experience in drop shipping, just more dabbling really. And I have to agree with you. I’m not a fan of it either.
But more to the point of not having just the same product to somebody else. But more along the lines of no control on what the end product looks like.
And actually, when I launched my drop shipping, so I mean, this is going back four years ago now, I actually ordered the product myself because I wanted to see “Well, what am I going to be flogging here?”.
And I was really disappointed with the quality, the quality was terrible. Nothing that I would want to put my name and my brand too, obviously have I created a new brand, but nothing that was worthy of growing.
And also you know, the delivery time was really long, like I ordered it was like five weeks late. I mean, maybe that’s because I’m in Australia, if maybe it was in America, it would be different. Pre COVID, obviously.
And yeah, so there were lots of things that I just thought if I was the end customer, I’d be pretty upset.
Yeah and look, there’s a lot about it. I’m actually quite passionate about this idea of, if you’re going to spend all your time and effort and money, let’s face it, because you can put a lot of money into these businesses.
If you’re going to do that you may as well….
Time is money, actually….
Time is money. Absolutely. But even when you’re putting all those resources into an effort into something, you might as well put it into something that you have control over. And that you also can kind of build up to be an asset, okay, that you can sell off at the end of the day. I mean, that’s kind of the holy grail of building business. You know.
So Getting back to the point of being your customer. So, Merril, she knew what she wanted, she knew how to make it.
Okay, so she had a really good grounding in not just what she wanted as the customer, but how to go about making it, okay.
And even though she didn’t end up making it herself, she knew the process in making it so she could direct the manufacturers, she knew what good quality was over bad quality.
She knew what, she could speak the same language as the manufacturers. Yeah. And I think that’s kind of important when you are developing your own product.
And so getting back to being the customer, our market research was basically, it all came from her and her circle of….
How He Did His Market Research
Interesting, that kind of leads me to my next question about market research. And I think, especially in a case where you are your own potential customer, you can have the false illusion to think, “Well, everybody wants this because I want it” right?
And especially in the baby world, you know, there’s a common sort of joke amongst my circle of friends because we’re all moms that, you know, someone becomes a mom, and they create a product for the baby industry, because that’s the world that they’re in.
And then they think everyone wants this when in actual fact, not everyone wants it. So, you know, it’s such a thing of, you know, proper market research.
I’m curious to know, if you did really extensive, extensive market research, and if so, what market research did you do to validate your product idea?
Yeah, that’s a good point.
Well, the first thing we did was see how big the market was. Okay, we knew that her circle of friends, like a product, and we’re looking for the product. Okay, so then we went a bit wider. I did some more, what you would call, you know, desk research in, looking at it at birth rates and, you know, the Bureau of Statistics, and this, that and the other. So looking at the size of the pool that we had to work with, yeah.
And then narrowing that down to see okay, the size of the pool that would want these sort of garments, you know, and so it was quite, it was quite a sizable chunk of the pool.
The other thing I did was some keyword research.
So actually, I jumped in as to what I was using at the time Longtail Pro, I think, I was using that at the time.
And, yeah, so basically putting in the keyword to see what the monthly search volume was.
Yeah. I mean, these days, you could use the Google Keyword Tool, even though those numbers are estimates.
Absolutely. And there are all sorts of tools you can use. I think back then, it was a, it was just something that I had.
So yeah, we just were the monthly searches for these keywords, going to give us the volume or percentage of the volume of traffic that we’re going to need to drive. You know, our conversions. So I look up, we tick those boxes. We were already going.
Yeah, right. Okay. Did you consult a tool like Google Trends or something to see, you know, maybe, or not some people do it like, we’re both in Australia.
And obviously, I’m sure you started selling in Australia. Did you look at, you know, the size of the market in the US, for example, as a proxy of what it could possibly become here?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I certainly did. That’s another one of my things, too, is that if I’m going to be building a business, again, if I’m going to be putting life savings in there all your time or your effort, I want it to be a global business. So or I want it to be able to be expanded into a global market. And so yeah, for sure, we looked at, of course, we looked at the domestic, the domestic market, but we also looked at Okay, what does this look like in the States? Roughly? It’s 10 times here. Yeah, that wrap of guts as a market size?
Things He Could Have Changed in His Market Research
If you were starting a new ecommerce brand from scratch? Yeah. 2021 is there anything else that you would do market research wise that you possibly didn’t do before? Like your through your experiences? Oh, you know, I wish I would have done this.
Look, I think that’s a really tricky one. Because you can’t get bogged down with market research. You know….
Paralysis by Analysis almost.
You can. Yeah and I think if you just take one, two or three data points, okay, whether it’s keyword volume, and total size of pool, and, you know, maybe social media influencer followers in your particular niche.
That’s probably a good one to do. That’s the one that we’re starting to really look at now, because we’re starting to utilize a lot of influences in our market, especially in the States….
Interesting. Sponsored posts and stuff?
Yeah, more just we provide the garments, and they do some posts for us basically.
And you find that works well?
Yeah. Works really really well. So and it also gives us material for our website.
Okay, so for beginners, we’ve got, if you look on our website, we’ve got a lot of different images, from our influences, with our product.
So that works really well. But yeah, I would say just taking some major data points, try and try and see who else is out there doing it. Now. That’s another big thing, too, is looking at your competitors.
We actually found that we were a niche within a larger niche. So that meant that we looked at our competitors, we looked at the offer, and what they were doing, were they doing something similar to what we were doing? Yes, they kind of were, but could we do it better? Could we do it differently? Yes, we kind of could. Yeah. Now back then. That’s, that’s, that’s what we were able to do.
Now. We’ve personally, not personally, but for our little brand. We’ve got probably half a dozen competitors that have popped up in the last, you know, three or four years that are really giving us a run for our money.
So we’re going to have to look at different ways of getting through into our market. And it’s kind of good and bad.
Yeah, there are pluses and minuses, it just means the good part about it is it means the markets there. Yeah, and the market is growing and they want what we’re, what we’re supplying. But with that comes all the competitors jumping into it. So it’s a bit of a backhanded on that one.
What a Good Margin is in Ecommerce
Yeah. I’ve dabbled in eCommerce long enough. And I’ve spoken to lots of other fellow e-commerce owners and operators who’ve been in the space for a long time.
And unanimously everyone talks about the importance of your margins. And so, you know, I was wondering if, you know, for our listeners who are somewhat may be starting their journey into eCommerce, if you could sort of share some of your lessons about the importance of margins, What’s, A: a good margin? And if you had your time again, you know, what would you look for?
Yeah, margins. Now, I’ve actually just written a blog post on margins.
Oh, that was convenient.
Not published yet. But it’s dear to our hearts. Because what you find is that your margin is the key to whether your business lives or dies. That’s where it comes down to, yes, you might hit, you’ve got a market, you’ve got your keyword volume, you’ve got your competitor analysis, you’ve done all that sort of work. If you don’t have enough margin there, to be able to facilitate your marketing and your growth.
You may be a one-man band or a one-woman band, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the margin there. You can’t move, you’re going to be paralyzed.
Well, It’s true. And so basically, what’s going to happen is that if you simply break down a product, okay, so product, say $100 product.
Your, your operating overheads are going to be around about 30%. Okay, regardless of whether you’re one person or 10 people, it’s gonna be around about 30% of your overall revenue, roughly.
Okay, as a rule of thumb, that’s kind of what we learned. And then you’re going to need basically another 30% for your marketing. Yeah. So that you can afford your pay-per-click ads.
And you can do some influencer marketing, some Pay Per Click ads. That’s kind of about it. That’s really all you really want to be focusing on in the early stages anyway. But you want to be able to allow, you know, 30%, say $30, a product or a sale, let’s say it’s a sale. So you’re going to need you’re going to need that.
And so if you’re your cost of goods sold, if that is more than, say around 30%, which means your margin, you’re really looking for a 70% margin. Yeah. And we’re not even at a 70% margin yet. All right, but that is kind of the Holy Grail.
And you’ll find that when you can get to that 70% I think we’re in about 65 with, were slowly creeping up when you can get into that realm, that means that you can afford to have your operating overhead of $30 for your $100 product, your marketing of $30, your cost of goods for $30.
And roughly, you know, leaves your $10 profit at the end of the day, which again, is probably just going to get soaked up into growth, but you’re still not going backward. Yeah, so yep, the margin is, it’s kind of everything.
Ideas in Improving Your Margins
And I’m curious if you have any ideas on ways that you can improve your margin, I mean, I know from an ad point of view, one way that people improve their margins is by boosting average order value, right, they have, by one, get the second one at a discount to boost the average order value, and therefore their ultimate margin, what are some other ways that you have improved your margin because I can imagine when you started out, your margin wasn’t at 65%, it’s something that you’ve worked towards, to get to that point, and hopefully, you will get to the elusive 70%.
So what are some levers that you’ve pulled, and tweaked and to get to that 65%
Yeah, that’s, that’s a good one, you’ll find that, to get your margin up, you’re really going to need to, first of all, you’ve got to, you’ve got to be managing your suppliers, you know, really, really closely, you know, when you first start your MOQ or your minimum order quantity, will be very low. And it should be really low.
You know, I’ve, I’ve had some friends who have basically just gone into ecomm business boots and all, you know, let’s order a container load of widgets, and I really confident about this thing, and, hey, let’s go, you know, and I think they’ve still got, you know, three-quarters of those widgets sitting in their garage, you know, five or six years later.
And kind of they does that, because of the to get that price per unit. But that’s, I think that’s a big mistake when you’re first starting out, go with the minimum order as little as you can get as possible. And you’ll be paying, you’ll be paying top dollar for it.
But you will be able to guarantee that that first order will probably be wrong. Okay. Especially if you’re getting it from overseas, that first order, I could almost guarantee it’ll be wrong, okay. And you’ve really got to write that off as education.
But the thing is, if you don’t if you don’t, you know, blow your whole budget on it, then you’re okay, you can live to fight another day, and you just do it better next time. All right.
So your minimum order quantity, that’s not going to help your margin. Really, what you can do that I think the best thing to do is to increase your conversion on your website.
For me, that is increasing that conversion percentage, that is probably the most effective tool that you can use to increase your revenue, which, again, will increase your buying power, which will lower your cost of goods, which will increase your margin, it’ll also lower your cost of marketing, lower your overhead percentage, so maybe from 30%, it goes down to 25%. All those factors make a big, big difference.
Yeah, but I would say look, there’s the biggest lever there to pull is your conversion percentage.
The other lever is your average order value, as you’re saying.
So it’s like, okay, for that $100 product, you could have something at checkout. That’s basically an upsell at checkout. It’s like having the lollies at the supermarket, you know, at the supermarket checkout.
Absolutely, you know, and you incentivize it. And it’s not rocket science. And it’s been done, everybody does it. But it’s one of those things where it actually works.
So if you can add another $20 on to that $100 order, or $100 product, then you know, all of a sudden you’re in business, you’re making some serious headway.
And especially if you can pair that with increasing your conversion rate, percentage. So even if you can, if you say you’re sitting on 2.5, even if you can squeeze it up to three, it’s going to make a massive difference to your bottom line.
And if you can nudge down your cost of goods, and basically in not even nudge down your cost per acquisition. That’s, that’s another big, big one that I look at. With our average order value. It’s around about $152.
Our average order value, so my target with my I pay per click advertising is between 10 and $12. If I can get if, if I can get that purchase cost per purchase to that kind of number. I’m happy. I’ll just keep that going all day long.
Owen’s Thoughts About Heavy Products & Dropping Shipping Costs
Yeah, totally. Yeah. I want to talk to you about your traffic-generating strategies because I know you are a believer in running your own traffic. And I definitely want to talk to you about that.
But just going back to the margins, what are your thoughts on shipping and shipping really, and choosing a product which is, which is heavy?
I know many, so many people who teach the world of eCommerce, you know, banging on about, you got to choose a small product, and I pay a lot of shipping. But then what ends up happening is everyone’s just focusing on really small products.
And then everyone starts to support the brand or a skincare brand. For those reasons. It’s small, it’s repetitive, and of light. So you know, I’m a big believer in not zigging and zagging.
And so, therefore, maybe you actually do heavy products, because it’s far less competition in that space.
And back, then you’ve got the issue of, of really heavy products. So I guess I don’t know, do you have any thoughts on that? In ways to sort of bring down your shipping costs if you’ve got a really heavy product or just don’t go there?
I think that’s a great idea. I really do. And I think that’s a really good point that you make, because, well, Merril, I am often talking about how a headache it is to ship to store garments and to ship garments, and all that sort of thing. It’s a headache.
We just sometimes we just wish we had a little bottle of something. Yeah. And that was a high value of $100 a bottle all day long. Thank you very much. Yeah, it doesn’t work like that. That’s not reality.
I’m always very, very jealous when I see products like this, and they’re just killing it. They’re just killing it. Damn you. (laughs)
So look, I think it’s a great strategy, because and even making the product you know, I mean, even shipping. Yeah, for sure. But even trying to make it I mean, I think any competitors that come into our market, and they’re trying to make a quality garment, we basically say go for it, guys.
It’s not that easy. You know, you’re gonna you got to spend this amount of money we know you are. And yeah, just go for it. You know, here are the patents. You go. Good luck. (laughs)
I’ll talk to you in three years’ time (laughs).
Yeah, absolutely. But look, I’m with you on the shipping, though, because shipping is always a big thing. You know, and I know, especially with the states, you know, where we were finding that anything that’s not free shipping, Is people don’t want to know you, you know. Amazon’s educated them to expect it.
I know, Americans in my experience will not pay for shipping. Because Amazon Prime is just beating them out of them. Whereas Australians were used to it will pay easily $20 shipping because it’s what used to it.
No, but seriously, so what we’re finding though, is that we’re getting a lot of pushback on the shipping. So what we do is, we play the small family business card, you know, which we are. Okay.
So and the thing is, we’re not really seen as a small family business because we kind of project ourselves as being a larger entity. Yeah, no, but seriously, half a dozen of us. That’s it. So we kind of play that card.
And we basically say, you know, you know, we’re a small family business, we can’t compete with the big corporate so we paint the big corporate as being his big impersonal, you know, you know, gigantic corporations.
Yeah, absolutely. And we can’t afford it. Sorry, but we can do what we can do at a flat rate. I’m a firm believer in flat-rate shipping. So flat rate shipping.
I’m a big believer in flat rate shipping because the less thinking you can get your customer to do. So we just say the $10 flat rate doesn’t matter where it is. That’s it. Yeah. If you spend over a certain amount you get it free, but 10 bucks, that’s it. And that kind of works out for American customers.
The other one too is remittance returns. So that’s a beauty especially in the fashion game that returns a huge. We try and minimize that as best we can. And you can do that.
If You’re in the fashion business with good sizing charts and accurate, accurate fit. But, again, in the States, they expect free returns.
So to be able to return back in the game, we play the small business card, and it kind of works. So it’s not a huge thing for us. But I’m with you on zigging while zag, while the others are zagging. I think that’s, that that can be a really good strategy, if you can get it to work financially.
Let’s talk a little bit about your belief. And you sort of stand by your belief I by doing it in running your own traffic, you know, somebody who’s run a, you know, pay per click agency for a very long time, although I don’t do much agency work anymore.
I can’t tell you how many times I had people come to me who had a brand new store, no traffic coming to their site, whatever, they just want to go straight to hiring an agency to get them to to help them launch their product, etc.
And whilst that is sort of one school of thought, it always kind of felt a bit weird to me to take on a brand new account, I always felt like my, my secret sauce, or my special skill was inheriting an existing account where there was data for me to look at that I can analyze the data, and then turn it around, and really, you know, learn from the data, kill off the losers double down on the winners, etc.
And I do believe actually, that people should have, at the very least a basic understanding of how campaigns work, you know, the basic campaigns to run yourself, even if ultimately you do end up hiring an agency, you can have intelligent conversations with that ad manager as to what’s going on.
I’ve seen countless people pull the wool over other people’s eyes, or the end client has just got literally no idea. It’s such an important part in growing a business. Of course, it’s not the entire thing.
But it’s one piece of an important piece of the whole pie. So I’m curious to: A – How you look at traffic and the campaign’s that you taught yourself. And you have just that journey with it.
Looking at Website Traffic And Journey With It
Yeah, no, good. Good question. I’m only a firm believer in doing yourself to start with. Yeah. And I’m with you on that. I think I think if you’re just starting out in this stuff, it’s good to get a handle on the mechanics of it, how it works, the principles behind it all. Yeah and it’s, that was my feeling at the start of everything anywhere.
I wanted to know how this thing worked. I wanted to know how the Facebook ads worked and how the Google Ads worked and what was behind it all. And, and because it keeps changing. It’s been a constant learning curve.
We actually came late to the party, to be honest, on the paid advertising side of things. We spent a lot of time and effort on content marketing early on. So yeah, so from January 2013. We started a weekly blog, on the Peachy Mama Aussie site, and which we outsourced? Yeah.
And so that’s been going that’s still going today. So every week, there’s a blog post that gets published. And that’s, I don’t know how many years that’s going back a while now.
And that work that’s worked so well, for us, I look at our Google Analytics, and we get a lot of traffic, I would say, three-quarters of our organic traffic comes through a blog post, which is quite good, but it’s still relevant to our customer.
Yeah, I suppose it works, because it’s relevant to our customer because our customer has just had a baby. She’s looking for information. Yeah. Because I know when we have our first kids, you don’t know what the hell you’re doing. Yeah, you’re in the dark with everything. You know that.
Oh, yeah. Been there, done that. Got my T-shirt. (laughs)
That’s it. the second or third one comes around. It’s like, Yeah, no, I got it. Yeah. Yeah. But the first one, you’re freaking out, you know, nothing.
So there’s this quest for information. And we kind of tap into that with our, with our blog articles. And that then gets them into the site, and I see what it has to offer.
And that then can convert it actually really converts really well. So that’s what we were concentrating on early on content marketing. And when I jumped in full time in 2015, I actually had time to really focus on getting a handle on the pay per click on Facebook and Google and I kind of did them in tandem.
So did them both together because the two different beasts, as you know, but I kind of did them in tandem. And I found that over the years, you know, what did work really well, then the other one wouldn’t and then this and then sort of go up and down like this in their effectiveness.
And I was forever constantly monitoring. And that’s kind of how I learned. We allocated a certain amount of money. And the way I did that was that I allocated a certain amount per order that I was willing to spend like I was between 10 and $12.
You know, but if you’ve but because you get, you know, 3040 orders a day type thing. It kind of gives you a substantial budget to be playing with. Yeah, yeah. I think now, though, I would, I’m actually starting to think, okay, maybe it’s time to get someone else to do this.
And to do this daily thing, because seriously, it takes me two full days of just concentration to, to get in and create the ads, get the imagery for Facebook, make sure we’re still on track with our keyword things for Google, you know, testing different texts, different elements of the air does like I’ve just finished running a Facebook test over the past couple of weeks with real short form, copy, many copies and real long-form copy, like a, like a, basically a whole about page kind of thing.
And funnily enough, the medium and the long-form copy really performs really, really well.
I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent on my own business, and also my clients’ ads, split testing, short copy versus long copy.
And it’s a case of like, I constantly proven long wrong. I mean, I’m, you know, I’m humble enough now, I’ve ever been proven wrong too many times. So I’m staying humble.
And starting out, I thought, this is a shortcut. He’s gonna kill it, of course, because he’s got the intentions and to read a long copy, right?
Well, let me tell you like long copy wins every single time. And then it sort of dawned on me afterward, where long copy actually kind of becomes a mini landing page, actually.
And if they do make it down the bottom, because people that inherently don’t want to leave the Facebook ad platform, right? That I mean, they’re there because they want to engage in their friends, photos and groups, etc. And so if something does pique their interest, and they do make it all the way down, it’s served as a mini landing page, actually.
And so I don’t know if you’ve done the right, because I haven’t seen them. But we will often lace through the long copy, you know, call to action links throughout the way so they don’t have to scroll all the way up the top or click on the button or whatever, maybe if you’ve done that, but yet long copy, you know, 9 out of 10 times wins. Quite interesting.
All right, there you go. Well, I’ve just proven it with this. I will test after this. That’s it.
Yeah. There you go.
I was surprised, I was exactly the same. I thought Nah, shot copy. No worries, these guys got no time at all. No, you’re right. You’re right. And they’ve converted the best into sales.
And is that an image ad, with a long copy or a video ad?
Yeah, it was an image ad, you know, funnily enough, we’ve tried lots of different videos. And for us, it’s always the images that convert the best for us. It is static, or a carousel, just kind of really does.
I actually challenge you to try a very, very basic video, I just in my experience with eCommerce. It’s almost like you need a video ad that is just so clear that a 10-year-old will know what it is, what it does, what are the features?
What are the benefits, and why they buy? It’s always like you can’t make it too simple. And I don’t know if your video ad does that.
But people want you to know like this is simulating an offline experience, right? Yes, you’re simulating an experience of someone walking into a store, picking the thing off the rack, and touching feeling it. Why would I buy this as opposed to something else? And if you can have a video that can fake conveys that then I think it’s worth trying.
I will….How long do you reckon this video should be?
I’d say no more than three minutes. I mean, ideally depending on what the product is and how much in-depth you’ve got to go but I’d say you know around the one to two-minute mark is fine.
And I would have a copy above it as well. But you know, like I just see time and time again like people try and get too clever by half you know, and really like the end of the day.
People don’t Want to be sold to, but they like to buy, right? So if you can kind of put your ad in front of the right person, so you nail your targeting, which I’m sure you’re doing.
But number two is, is just the clarity on what it is and what problem you’re solving. And as I said, simulate that experience for people that you know what it looks like the front and the back and try it on.
And here’s how you use it. And bla bla bla, and just really basic actually, it actually I interviewed someone recently on my podcast, who I don’t know that episode number off the top of my head.
He sort of was sharing his experiences about selling a men’s wallet, which is a leather wallet that’s converted from baseball gloves, old baseball glove leather that’s been then converted into a wallet.
And he said by far yeah, really cool. And you can check out the episode. It will be a couple of days before this one I did, as I said, the number off the top of my head.
And he was saying exactly that, actually. So his experiences the same as mine that they had a video had that was super simple as a face to camera video, a guy sitting at a desk, and it was Yeah, the lighting was set up nicely, it was all very kind of, I guess, for lack of a better word manly, it was in a man cave, and there’s leather around him, you know, it sort of had that nice, you know, scene, the scene was set.
But literally, the video and I’ve seen this video ad actually is just a man holding the product, holds it up to the camera, so you can really see the fine stitching of it. He sort of goes through what it looks like with cards in what it looks like, with cards out the front, the back is simulating that experience.
So if you were picking it up and feeling it and looking at it in a shop, what would you want to see, you know, none of this clever jingle kind of, you know, like, classic kind of advertisement. It’s, this is the product, and this is the story behind it, etc. So anyway.
All right. I will.
I guess all I’m saying is in my experience for eCommerce video ads can be incredible. And if you have found that video ads don’t work, perhaps it’s the video. Rather than that video ads don’t work for my industry, which they may not. And I’m not saying that they definitely will.
But I persist with testing different videos, because well, let me tell you when you find that right video, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
And isn’t it great when you do find the combination that works? Yeah, there’s a bit of a Whoa, you know, and you just don’t want to touch it just for fear of changing something.
Well, that’s exactly right. And I’ve spoken to so many people over the years, who say, Oh, you know, I’ve spoken to other people, and they say it’s going to take us 60 days to get results is like no, no, like, if something’s gonna work, it’s actually going to work really quickly.
And if something’s not gonna work, it’s also not quickly,
What timeframe should we be looking at for something to work?
In my experience, like, if you don’t, if you’re not getting if we’re talking Facebook or Google, right? If you’ve got a very well seasoned, let’s say, Facebook ad account where you got enough traffic coming through your site, Facebook knows who you want, you know, your audiences, right?
I reckon you should be able to get results within well, within a week, you’ll you will know like, in fact, it’s like night and day, like, because I’ve had such a snapshot of experience from dealing from running an agency for so long in so many different industries, like I’ve taken on clients in the past where, you know, we learned something, and I’m like, Oh, my God, what is going on in this industry because this is like crazy. And it happens quickly, you just hit on a nerve.
And for whatever reason, people are really into it. They’re passionate about the industry. One was in the pet space, and people are crazy about their pets. And the other was in the religious spaces of Christianity stuff. Actually, these people were really, really passionate. I mean, that was just two examples, where, you know, they’re just, they were hungry for it, you know, and it was, it was just like feeding a starving crowd. You know, so in my experience. Well, that’s right. It just happens really quickly. Anyway, I feel like
Yeah, no, that’s brilliant. Because I was gonna ask you what, in your experience, you know, what, what does work best for an e-commerce store? Is there anyone sort of combination of add-on, let’s say these days? Take Facebook, for instance? Is it what anyone combination of ad that kind of that you’ve seen working time and time again,
look, you know, I would say it really depends on the industry that you’re in. And yeah, like different industries behave completely differently.
But it just in my experience, if I could, a good video ad that has those elements that I’ve explained, is worth its weight in gold, put in front of the right person, and it solves a problem and it ticks all those boxes, you know, like the product sells as yours does, you know, wouldn’t be a brand new product that’s innovative that people haven’t heard of that not already buying, it’s got to kind of fit that criteria.
But getting your targeting rights easy, actually, it’s creative, and getting people pushing people off the fence to move now, and not later, is the hard part because people will inherently delay making a decision if they don’t need to. Right. Like, why would I buy this now, as opposed to?
You know, I’ll decide next week. So how big of a problem are you solving for people, your product with, you know, probably, you know, breastfeeding product is someone’s breastfeeding right now, therefore, it solves a problem for them now.
And if they can discreetly breastfeed in public, well, then, you know, as somebody who’s gone through that, that’s pretty attractive, right? So you just have to convey that and illustrate and show people why your product is different from others, and etc.
Campaigns that works for Owen
I’m curious, though, going back to the traffic strategy. Is there one campaign that just works really, really well for you? I mean, I’ve got an idea in my head of what I think it could be. But curious…
Look, with, yeah, with Facebook, especially with our look-alike, audiences work really, really well. For us. That’s actually the audience that I tested. Then, the short form, medium form long-form copy on,
I think that would be a testament to how much traffic you’ve got coming through your site, maybe from your SEO, you know, that really seasons your pixel, and therefore your audience is really good.
That’s really, that’s a really good point. On the combining, it’s kind of like you don’t do these things in a vacuum, as you know, you know, it’s like, so we also spend money on SEO.
We don’t spend a fortune on SEO, but I’ve got a great guy that I met through another, another guy, and this, this particular, SEO, Wiz. He comes from one of the larger firms, he just went out on his own.
It’s basically him and a laptop and a little remote team. And he’s just brilliant. But we don’t spend a fortune on SEO, but we’re consistently at the top. So that gets us a lot of organic traffic and combining that with the blog articles.
And in even your Google, the Google ads that just take along in the background of sending traffic through then that, as you said, that kind of seasons, the pixel on our Facebook ads, that’s the Facebook ads are kind of where we get our conversion.
So you’re right, it all just comes into this guess at one point and we get them on the Facebook ad.
I’m curious if you are retargeting on multiple platforms.
Yeah, we are retargeting, a lot of retargeting on Facebook, and we’re doing some retargeting on Google. I’m not getting as much return on my investment on Google.
So given that we’ve got a finite budget per day, I’m, I monitor it constantly. And I’m, I’m, I’m always wary about pushing that up. As opposed to putting money into Facebook and Instagram retargeting, which works really well for us. Our return on investment is huge on this stuff. So I figure if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
Yeah, fair enough. Cool. Last question with traffic. Are you doing Google Shopping? Do you find that works?
Thoughts About Google Shopping
Well, we are doing Google Shopping. In Australia, that works really well. It got really expensive last year through COVID. Just the just overall pay-per-click advertising really shot up.
Last year, with all the activity on eCommerce, obviously, it got really expensive, but now that that works really well for us. Interestingly, though, we’ve still got our US store, which we’re going through the motions of getting it all changed at the moment to be an American-based entity. But at the moment, our US store is still using our Aussie entity as its main company, even though it’s .com, and everything’s fulfilled from the US.
So what happens there is that Google won’t ask won’t allow us to do Google Shopping over there. Because it looks at our entity and says, Oh, hang on a minute. You’re saying you’re American, but you’re actually Aussies he’s not we’re not gonna let that so we can’t do Google Shopping over there. You know, which is a bummer.
So I’m just pushing that through if you’ve ever tried to do Get something through on Google. Yeah, it’s almost impossible.
Well, especially in the time of COVID, they’ve sort of shut down a lot of their support, which seems a little crazy to me. They chose this time to shut down their support. But anyway….
Something to think about if, if any of your listeners have multi-territory stores, just be aware of that. Google doesn’t really take kindly to different entities.
I mean, it’s a possible workaround, you could create a second Google Ad account temporarily. So you could do Google Shopping.
Yeah, yeah, I think we’re on to our third one now. (laughs)
Other trials and tribulations that kind of lead me into my last question for you actually….
I’m losing my hair. So yeah. (laughs)
Past Mistakes to Learn and Benefit From
Which is, you know, what are some of the biggest mistakes that you’ve made along the way that possibly our listeners could learn from and benefit from an understanding?
Don’t get into the fashion business? (laughs)
Really? Are you being jaded?
No, no, no, no, not at all. Not at all, it is super hard. But it’s kind of a good thing because it keeps competitors away.
But it’s a very complex product, I would try and, look, one of the mistakes, I suppose, would be not starting our content marketing earlier, even earlier than we did. I would say if I was to start an ecomm business today, the first thing I do would be to basically hire a blog writer for four or $500 a month, and just get cracking with you with content.
That’s what I would do.
Right so publish once a week or something?
Absolutely, you know, if you got to spend 500 bucks a month, that’s probably one of the best things to spend it on. It’s a long game, though, you’re not going to see any benefit from it for 12 to 18 months, but you’ll see the snowball effect, and it’s massive, you know, what are the….
I would say, being too narrow-minded in what’s working, what’s not working with the pay-per-click advertising. I’m quite stubborn. You know, when it comes inside, this works, and we’re gonna do this, we’re just going to do this. I don’t really look outside too much. You know, I might try a bit of video here. When it doesn’t work. I’m like not we’re going back to this. I think that’s a mistake.
I think being a bit more open to things like that. But I don’t know, we’ve made so many mistakes. Does this really count, but we kind of survived somehow.
Sheer perseverance is really the key to success for people and that just keep putting one foot forward in front of the other. I think is definitely something I’ve learned, you know.
So yeah. And this is funny that it, it, it creates its own momentum, doesn’t it? Once you get past a certain point, it does. It’s got the momentum to it. So it’s just getting past that point.

SHORT VIDEOS GOT/ NO REASON TO LIIIIIIIIVE In all seriousness, this is short but i would argue its also pointed and not bloated.
Season 3 begins with SaG taking a look at the least discussed Superman movie ever: Superman III. What does he think of this movie? Is Superman III any good or is it already cursed by the word “Three”? Bloopers:
This is a small Announcement to all the members of Team Night Saturn. It’s me Jack Skyblue and I just need to tell you that I’m unfortunately unable to finish the 2nd Year Anniversary Special that was originally planned by Plutoburns. The reason: Time schedules. Neither of us both have the right amount of time to finish the special we actually planned. I’m not abandoning the project: I just delay it to a year or in the worst case: More than a year. With that said however: Right now I’m working on the script for a musical short called “Guitar Leads” and this is where I need the help from my co-reviewers. If anyone of you is interested in starring and singing in this movie then please either write it down in the comment section or reply to me on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/jackskyblue James Kaloko already told me that he wants to be a part of this wacky little anniversary project and what’s important is that you should know that the deadline is going to be August 21st, 2015. So I think you got enough time to think about it. Officially Confirmed Members: Jack Skyblue James Kaloko bbomg02 Matt Crowley One last note: You don’t need to have the best singing voice ever and even if you can’t sing: You’re allowed to do your best “Insert Musician Name Here” impersonation which I’m always welcome for. That’s all I have to say and I hope there are enough people who are interested in this nice little project. Have a nice day!
The Tick Video Review Here
Hey, I hate this comedy. Its not funny. At all.
We return to go nagai, with his most famous work. Crossover with James Carlson

I just wanted to let everyone know that one of my favorite events on the peninsula is occurring very soon. On Sunday May 4th, 2008 from 10am-4pm is the 2008 Hillsborough Concours D’Elegance Italiano. The Hillsborough Concours D’Elegance is a classic car show that is put on by the Hillsborough School Foundation. Hillsborough’s Concours D’ Elegance is much like the famous Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance. However, Hillsborough adds more of a family twist to the event by adding carnival style games, bounce houses, police demonstrations, and much more. This year the event will have a Italian influence featuring many historic automobiles with Italian heritage. The event takes place on the lawns of Crocker Middle School located at 2600 Ralston Avenue in Hillsborough, CA. Come early, parking can get tricky!

Some birds were linked with death and grieving.
In Māori tradition, spirits leave this world at Te Rēinga in the far north. Departing spirits are compared to the migratory kūaka in the saying ‘me he kāhui kūaka’ (like a flock of godwits).
To some tribes, the mātātā is tapu (sacred). When a chief died and was buried, men would catch a mātātā from a swamp. The bird was used in a ceremony to help lead the dead man’s spirit to the legendary Polynesian homeland of Hawaiki.
A heavy rain cape made from undressed flax has been appreciatively described as a mātātā’s house, because it resembles the bird’s snug nest.
The male matuku has a loud booming cry to ward off other males in the breeding season. It was thought the matuku boomed from loneliness and sorrow, and that hearing its call could help people express grief. A lament sung by a grieving person describes the singer as a matuku:
Kei te matuku, e hū ana i te repo, i!
A bittern booming in the marsh!
Moho pererū (banded rail)
The moho pererū’s call sometimes sounds like laughter. In one story, the legendary demigod Māui tried to overcome death by passing through the body of the sleeping goddess of death, Hine-nui-te-pō. His attempt to enter her was halted by the moho pererū, which laughed and woke the goddess. This is recalled in an old lament:
Ehara i te taru te mate.
Kua mate mai i mua, i a Māui –
Nā te pātātai i kata, ka motu ki roto rā …
Death is no light matter.
There was death in the past, with Māui –
When the pātātai (moho pererū) laughed, Māui was cut off within …
The fantail has 20 or 30 different Māori names. As well as tīwaiwaka, it is commonly called pīwakawaka, tīwakawaka or tīrairaka. In one tradition, it was the fantail that caused Māui’s death, so it is a harbinger of death when seen inside in a house. A fidgety person is described as a fantail’s tail, because of the bird’s restless movements.

OnePlus is able to shake things up as soon as they announce the launch of a new reasonably priced smartphone range. The firm has introduced the news on its official blog, after both the corporate’s co-founders teased a “new beginning” by their Twitter accounts. OnePlus modified the definition of a flagship smartphone with the launch of the OnePlus One in 2014, and is now primed to trigger the same stir once more.
— Pete Lau (@PeteLau) June 22, 2020
CEO Pete Lau tweeted, “Who’s ready for something new from OnePlus?” which by itself suggested a new product was coming. However, the addition of a “New Beginnings” hashtag indicated it was something a lot more thrilling. The tweet was accompanied by the OnePlus logo in a new black and blue color scheme, rather than the standard red and white, indicating the new reasonably priced phone may have its own branding.
Fellow OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei quickly added his personal tweet using the New Beginnings hashtag, saying, “It’s time to rock the boat again.” This brings us back to the impact OnePlus has had on smartphones, and the way in which we buy them, since 2014.

A new entry from OnePlus, with its legions of devoted followers and well-known brand name, will surely invigorate the mid-range market even further.
Rumors claim the OnePlus Z/Nord will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G processor, have 5G, a quad-lens camera, and an OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. To compete with the most recent and best mid-range hardware, it is going to really want to cost lower than $500. OnePlus has not talked about price or launch date yet, however has mentioned the new phone will launch in Europe and India. It additionally guarantees to carry reasonably priced phones to the U.S. in the near future, nevertheless it doesn’t seem the OnePlus Z/OnePlus Nord might be officially available.

Maintaining a fit and healthy lifestyle is of paramount importance in our journey toward overall well-being. As our bodies age and undergo inevitable changes, prioritizing our health becomes crucial. Engaging in regular physical activity not only helps us stay in shape but also strengthens our immune system, boosts our mood, and improves our overall quality of life. One popular form of exercise that has gained significant attention is infrared exercise. It involves using infrared technology to produce heat, which raises your core body temperature and stimulates perspiration. This form of exercise offers numerous benefits and has become an effective method for individuals seeking to optimize their physical well-being and embrace a holistic approach to fitness.
1. Enhanced Detoxification
As infrared waves penetrate the skin, they heat the body at a cellular level, causing an increase in core body temperature. This rise in temperature prompts a profuse sweat that carries toxins out through the skin’s pores. Compared to traditional saunas, infrared saunas can produce a more intense sweat, with some containing up to 20% more toxins. This detoxification process can profoundly impact overall well-being, leaving you feeling revitalized and promoting a healthier internal environment.
2. Skin Rejuvenation
The application of infrared heat during exercise promotes increased blood flow to the skin, which can lead to improved skin tone and a more radiant complexion. Furthermore, the sweating induced by infrared exercise helps to unclog pores, removing impurities and promoting clearer skin. The enhanced circulation and detoxification effects can also contribute to a reduction in the appearance of cellulite, giving the skin a smoother and more toned appearance. Incorporating infrared exercise into your routine can thus offer a holistic approach to both physical fitness and skin health, supporting a more youthful and vibrant complexion.
3. Stress Relief and Relaxation
The gentle heat emitted during infrared sessions has a calming effect on both the body and mind. As the heat penetrates the muscles, it promotes relaxation, reduces tension, and helps alleviate stress. This soothing nature of infrared exercise can help lower cortisol levels, which is the hormone associated with stress. This can lead to improved mental well-being, a sense of calm, and enhanced sleep quality. By incorporating regular infrared exercise into your wellness routine, you can create a dedicated space for relaxation and self-care, allowing your body and mind to unwind, recharge, and find balance in today’s hectic world.
4. Increased Calorie Burning
When engaging in activities such as hot yoga or infrared workouts, the additional heat intensifies the metabolic rate and raises the heart rate. This elevated temperature prompts the body to work harder, leading to a higher calorie expenditure during the exercise session. The combination of physical exertion and infrared heat creates a more challenging and calorie-burning workout compared to traditional forms of exercise.
Staying fit through infrared exercise offers an efficient and beneficial approach to improving your overall well-being. By incorporating this unique form of exercise into your fitness routine, you can take advantage of its numerous benefits. However, it is crucial to maintain a proper balance and mix of different exercise modalities to maximize the benefits. It’s also important to remember that the human body is intricate, and results may take time to manifest. Patience and focus are key as you embark on your fitness journey. With dedication, perseverance, and a holistic approach to health, you can harness the power of infrared exercise to enhance your life and achieve optimal physical and mental well-being.

In an era marked by rapid technological advancement, the realm of education has undergone a profound revolution, thanks to the rise of mobile learning. With the global pandemic acting as a catalyst for change, the adoption of mobile learning has become more than just a trend—it has become a necessity. This blog will explore the journey of mobile learning, its integration with custom app development, and the potential it holds for the future of education.
What is Mobile Learning?
Mobile learning, often referred to as m-learning, is an innovative approach to education that leverages mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to deliver learning content. It offers the flexibility to access educational materials and resources anytime, anywhere, breaking down the barriers of traditional classroom learning.

This surge in smartphone usage has paved the way for mobile learning to transcend the boundaries of conventional education, making knowledge dissemination more accessible and convenient.
Pandemic-Driven Transformation: A Compelling Shift
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in the history of education. The closure of physical schools and institutions compelled educators and learners to pivot towards online and mobile learning. Educational institutions worldwide had to swiftly adapt to digital platforms to ensure continuous learning. As a result, the pandemic acted as a catalyst, propelling mobile learning to the forefront of education. According to UNESCO, the pandemic led to the closure of schools for over 1.6 billion students worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for innovative learning solutions.
Empowering Learning through Custom App Development
The synergy between mobile learning and custom app development has been instrumental in shaping modern education. Custom app development empowers educational institutions and developers to create tailored learning experiences that cater to the unique needs of learners.

- Enhanced Engagement: Gamification elements, interactive quizzes, and multimedia-rich lessons foster heightened engagement and motivation. A study by eLearning Industry reveals that gamified learning apps can lead to a remarkable 14% higher skill-based knowledge retention rate, compared to traditional methods.
- Seamless Accessibility: Mobile apps erase geographical boundaries, ensuring education is accessible to all. Learners, irrespective of their location, can access a wealth of resources and lessons at their fingertips, democratizing education like never before.
The Future of Mobile Learning
The future of education lies intertwined with the potential of mobile learning. As technology continues to advance, the possibilities for education are boundless. Custom app development is set to further enhance learning experiences through innovative features such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), offering immersive and interactive lessons. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) will facilitate more sophisticated adaptive learning, providing students with even more personalized and efficient learning paths.
Furthermore, the future holds promise for collaborative learning through mobile apps, allowing students to engage in group projects, discussions, and knowledge-sharing regardless of their physical locations. As 5G technology becomes more prevalent, the speed and reliability of mobile networks will further enrich the mobile learning experience, enabling seamless streaming of high-quality educational content.
Mobile learning, fueled by custom app development, is ushering in a new era of education characterized by accessibility, engagement, and personalization. From its humble beginnings to its pivotal role during the pandemic, mobile learning has proven its significance in transforming traditional educational paradigms. As we look ahead, the fusion of technology and education will continue to shape the landscape of learning, empowering individuals worldwide with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. The journey is far from over, and the future of mobile learning is undoubtedly bright.

“Before you dive headlong into conjecture, first gather your data,” says tech manufacturing expert, Rajarshi Ghose Dastidar, borrowing the wisdom of the eminent detective, Sherlock Holmes. Yet Dastidar isn’t solving criminal enigmas. Instead, he’s operating in the complex domain of the manufacturing industry, threading through data, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to discover novel strategies that can substantially transform how businesses function and compete.
As technology thrives at an unprecedented pace, traditional manufacturing practices are being challenged by new approaches that emphasize efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. According to Dastidar, the manufacturing sphere is no longer merely about factories and production lines; it now encapsulates various digital procedures and intelligent technologies.
The AI Renaissance in manufacturing
Dastidar’s influence in the industry is unmistakable, with over a decade of experience under his belt starting from his stellar educational background, attaining a Bachelor’s in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology in India and a Master’s in Supply Chain Management at The University of Texas at Dallas. In the professional world, Dastidar now works as Strategy & Analytics Manager at the biggest consulting firm in the world and underscores the pivotal role AI plays in transforming the manufacturing sector.
As per a Forbes report, the AI market size is projected to skyrocket to $407 billion by 2027 and anticipates a 21% net hike in the United States GDP by 2030. According to Dastidar, this shift is already underway.
“Manufacturing organizations worldwide are grappling with a mounting array of challenges, including market volatility, fiercer competition, intricate supply chains, escalating costs, scarcity of skilled personnel, fluctuating customer demands, and cybersecurity threats,” Dastidar comments.
Tackling these hurdles necessitates strategic planning, agility, and an increased focus on exploiting technological advancements, such as automation, AI, and the Internet of Things. Firms adopting these new technologies early will likely succeed and experience fewer disruptions.
Streamlining supply chains and customer interactions
AI’s impact isn’t confined to automation and enhancing efficiencies within the factory floor. Its influence permeates various aspects of manufacturing. Central to Dastidar’s vision is integrating data analytics and AI into the design and production stages of manufacturing, from boosting customer experiences via hyper-personalized marketing to automating financial reporting processes. He specializes in collecting and analyzing vast amounts of data to provide valuable insights that inform decision-making and drive product innovation.
Dastidar is assisting businesses to gain valuable insights into their supply chain, identify bottlenecks, streamline logistics, and enhance overall operational performance. He explains that this process includes optimizing inventory management, improving production scheduling, and implementing demand forecasting models to align supply with market demand.
Under Dastidar’s guidance, manufacturing companies have successfully adopted AI technologies that enable them to design and prototype products more efficiently, reduce time-to-market, and improve product quality. These advancements have revolutionized the industry, allowing businesses to stay ahead of high consumer demands while delivering superior products that resonate with their target market.
He shares, “My vision is to innovatively use data and analytics to help organizations make faster, better, and more resilient supply chains that will support sustainability goals, improve overall production efficiency, and most importantly, drive growth and profit. All these so that manufacturers can thrive in an increasingly dynamic and competitive manufacturing landscape.”
Driving high-level data literacy
Dastidar mentions how some may argue about the sustainability of AI’s rapid infiltration of manufacturing processes, including the aspect of neglecting the human factor. However, he thinks otherwise. For him, leveraging data and AI is an opportunity for people to be more efficient to propel greater productivity and success in their industries.
Dastidar shares his perspective, “Indeed, the human component in manufacturing cannot be ignored. AI is not about replacing humans; instead, it’s about amplifying human potential, which is what we are looking forward to with Industry 5.0 principles that will redefine the relationship between humans and machines. It’s about enabling humans to focus on higher-level tasks and decisions while AI handles repetitive tasks, predictive analyses, and error detection. Through AI-driven solutions, machines become more intuitive, understanding human gestures, expressions, and commands. Natural Language Processing capabilities empower factory workers to communicate seamlessly with machines, providing instructions, asking questions, and receiving real-time feedback. This fosters a collaborative environment, where machines act as trusted assistants, augmenting human capabilities. It’s a collaborative future we’re building, not an adversarial one.”
To achieve this, Dastidar extends his influence beyond the technological sphere to become a popular speaker and industry influencer. He is often invited to share his insights and experiences at various conferences and events, advocating for organizations that skillfully leverage data to their advantage.
The future is now
Drawing from his vast experience, Dastidar offers a final insight, “The potential of AI is expansive, yet it remains somewhat untapped in the manufacturing sector. The businesses that will flourish in the future will be those capable of harnessing this potential to influence their strategic decisions. The challenge is daunting, but the rewards are equally enticing.”
Looking ahead, Dastidar is fully committed to continuing his game-changing work in the manufacturing field with data and analytics. He is driven by a relentless passion for leveraging the immense potential and limitless industry possibilities for improving manufacturing processes, delivering enhanced services to consumers, and pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in the manufacturing industry. He serves as a guidepost, shining a light for others to follow. As AI’s influence continues to expand and thrive, it becomes evident that society now stands on the precipice of a transformative era, one propelled by forward-thinkers such as Rajarshi Ghose Dastidar.

Living in New Orleans for the past 6 years has been, well, interesting to say the least. As someone who grew up in the Midwest (what’s up, Ohio!), and had lived in pretty much every region of the country EXCEPT the South, I don’t think I could have ever imagined just how unique and different a city could be. From the oppressive brink-of-hell temperatures, to the potholes that will swallow your car whole, to the local vernacular that almost seems like a foreign language at times, New Orleans is without a doubt one of the most magical — yet infuriating — places I’ve ever lived. If you’re thinking of visiting, let me know. If you’re thinking of MOVING here, REALLY let me know. I promise to give you an unbiased perspective and share the good…and the bad…of a place this girl never thought she’d call home.
One saying that has always made me scratch my head is, I’m “makin’ groceries”. Come again? Did you mean you’re COOKING? Are you making something you just BOUGHT at the store? But really. WTF. To clear up the confusion (because I expect most of you are ALSO scratching your heads right now), what this ridiculous phrase is referring to is the commonly performed activity known as “going to the grocery store” or “going grocery shopping”.
So why do New Orleanians insist on passing this absurdity down from generation to generation, confusing anyone that didn’t grow up here? I think locals genuinely just like to preserve strange customs like this one to — stealing a tagline out of Austin, TX’s book — keep New Orleans weird. People in New Orleans embrace being different, even if it makes them sound incredibly silly. But just in case you were curious, the origin of the phrase isn’t totally rooted in nonsense. It comes from the French phrase “faire son marché,” which means “to do one’s market shopping”. Apparently, faire translates into either “to do” or “to make”. So as the French learned English it morphed from “to do one’s market shopping” to “to do one’s grocery shopping” to “make one’s groceries” to “makin’ groceries”. Thank you, Quora.
So now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I have to let you guys know that grocery shopping is literally one of my favorite things to do in the entire world. I can’t really explain it, but there’s just something incredibly peaceful about strolling up and down all the food-filled aisles and filling my cart with so much deliciousness. So while hitting up Trader Joe’s at 11 am on a Saturday seems about as far from “peaceful” as life can get, I willingly throw myself into that chaos every single weekend and love every minute of it. Well, except the parking lot sitch. For the love of God can Trader Joe’s PLEASE figure this shit out. But truly — I feel so fortunate to have access to so many affordable, fresh grocery options, that I really can’t complain.
Outside of my love affair with Trader Joe’s (a tribute for another day), Whole Foods has always been my next go-to when it comes to stocking my fridge. Despite it’s “whole paycheck” reputation, I decided long ago that I was ok with paying ~10-15% more for groceries in order to eat more organic, less-processed food. Then came Amazon. The behemoth that seems to be swallowing up everything in its path. On the off chance you completely missed this news, Amazon bought Whole Foods in August 2017 and has slowly been making its presence known inside every WF store. Example: one of our local WF stores has Amazon lockers in it, and also sells Amazon Echo devices). That’s all fine and dandy, but I think what most of us were HOPING for when we saw this news was LOWER PRICES. Amirite or amirite?! In the year since the acquisition, I can’t say I’ve personally seen a ton of incredible discounts or permanent price drops (cue the avocado jokes), but recently WF has introduced a nifty little change to its mobile app (yes, WF has a mobile app) that aims to make Amazon Prime members feel like they’re getting a little somethin’ special. And fill non-Amazon Prime members (whoever these unicorns are) with FOMO.
To be clear, the Whole Foods app has always had coupons in it. I had the app, but I never bothered to look at said coupons so the app never got used. The latest version of the app improves on this a bit because it utilizes one QR code at checkout that covers those same coupons on individual items, gives you an additional 10% off all sale items, and covers any other weekly discounts WF might be offering.
Accessing the QR code that will give you the deals is pretty straightforward. Download and open the Whole Foods app, log into your Amazon Prime account, and then everytime you open the WF app you’re immediately presented with that QR Code and you can have the cashier scan it during checkout. Honestly, none of the discounts have been mind-blowing, but every penny counts. Especially when a jar of almond butter costs 1,500 of them.
I don’t love this process, but I don’t hate it. And even though QR codes seem very 2010, I’m not sure how Amazon could this better. When the new feature launched, the cashiers seemed to be good about asking you if you were an Amazon Prime customer and if had the WF app, and then showing you how to use it. And the stores do have some signage in the check-out lanes. But let’s be honest — most of the time when I’m in line I’m either on my phone or eyeing the person in front of me’s items to see what weird stuff they bought. As a result, a couple of times when I’ve been distracted/in a hurry I’ve forgotten to have the cashier scan my QR code. Maybe eventually they’ll come up with a different integration that doesn’t put the onus on the customer to remember to open up the app. Maybe they’ll just scan our eyeballs #dreambig. But, as long as it’s not too difficult to use and the novelty doesn’t wear off, I think it’s an app I’ll continue to keep on my phone.
Before you moan and groan about having to deal with ANOTHER app. If you’re like a lot of people I know and adding just ONE MORE APP to your phone is a MAJOR ordeal, you can actually access the same QR code from the Amazon mobile app as well. If you don’t have THAT app on your phone, then you’re missing out on many opportunities to impulse shop while pretending to watch Netflix with your husband/wife/roommate/significant other (sorry, C!), and I can’t help you. You’ll need one or the other to take advantage of the Amazon/Whole Foods deals, so suck it up and download at least one of them. And while I’m a hoarder of iPhone apps and my attitude is “the more (apps) the merrier,” if I had to choose, I would go with the Amazon app (because of the aforementioned shopping opportunities).
It will be interesting to see the long-term effect of the Whole Foods + Amazon deal. At least for now, I don’t think Amazon has impacted WF’s prices enough for it to shed it’s infamous “whole paycheck” nickname. And if quality suffers and WF loses its caché as a premium grocer, then they could lose my business in the future.
One last thing I’ll say about the Whole Foods is that they are now offering one-hour grocery delivery to Amazon Prime customers in New Orleans. I haven’t tried it yet, but I might test it out soon. Because, why not. Have any of you used it (here or in other cities)? If you have, I’d be curious to hear your feedback! I know at-home grocery delivery is nothing new to people living in more urban environments, but the shift to buying groceries online is fascinating to me. Partly because (as I mentioned) I love going to the grocery store. But also because buying food seems like such an “in-person” activity. Especially when it comes to things like produce, meat, or fish. I am VERY picky about which apple or filet of fish I choose — so how can I possibly trust some random store employee to take the same care when choosing my items? I guess time will tell. And speaking of online grocery shopping, in a sort of Part II to the tech + grocery shopping topic, I’ll share my thoughts on Thrive Market — which is a membership-based online food retailer that sells natural and organic products at reduced costs. I’ve been a member for about two years and I really enjoy many of their private label offerings. You may have seen them advertising pretty heavily on social media these days. They have an army of “influencers” pushing their brand all over Instagram — and no, I am not one of them. So I’ll tell you a little bit more about it, share what I like and dislike, and tell you whether I recommend giving it a shot!
Until then — don’t get run down in a Trader Joe’s parking lot, and if you’re an Amazon Prime member, make sure you use your app the next time you check out at Whole Foods!

In today’s interconnected world, having a reliable and strong internet connection has become a necessity. While modems and routers are both essential for a stable internet connection, connecting them seamlessly can be a daunting task, especially for those who are not tech-savvy. One of the most popular ways to connect a router to a modem is wirelessly, which eliminates the need for any physical cable connections. In this guide, we will discuss the step-by-step process of connecting a router to a modem wirelessly, so that you can enjoy uninterrupted internet access at all times.
Before we dive into the details of connecting a router to a modem wirelessly, it is important to understand the basic difference between the two devices. While a modem is the gateway that connects your home network to the internet, a router helps to distribute the internet connection to multiple devices. Connecting these two devices wirelessly can be quite beneficial as it eliminates the need for any physical cables, provides greater flexibility in terms of device placement, and allows for seamless internet connectivity. So, let’s get started with this simple and easy-to-follow guide on how to connect your router to your modem wirelessly.
How to Connect Router to Modem Wirelessly?
Connecting a router to a modem wirelessly is a straightforward process. By following these steps, you can have your devices connected and online in no time.
1. Ensure that both your router and modem are turned on and functioning correctly.
2. Locate the WAN or Internet port on the router. Insert an Ethernet cable into this port.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the modem.
4. Access the router’s setup page using a web browser. Type in the default IP address of the router in the address bar to access the setup page.
5. In the setup page, locate the wireless settings and configure them as per your requirements.
6. Save the settings and test the connection by accessing the internet on a wireless device that is connected to the router.
7. If the connection is not successful, restart both the modem and router and try again.
There are a few things to keep in mind while connecting a router to a modem wirelessly:
– Make sure that the router and modem are compatible.
– Verify that the Ethernet cable used to connect the devices is in good condition.
– Double-check the wireless settings of the router to ensure that they match the device you are using to connect.
1. How do I connect my router to my modem wirelessly?
To connect your router to your modem wirelessly, make sure your modem has Wi-Fi capabilities. Then, locate the WAN port on your router and connect it using an ethernet cable. Lastly, follow the setup instructions on your router’s user manual to establish a wireless connection between your modem and router.
2. Do I need to reset my modem before connecting it wirelessly to my router?
No, you do not need to reset your modem before connecting it wirelessly to your router. However, it is recommended to restart both your modem and router after connecting them to ensure a stable and secure connection.
3. Can I connect multiple devices to my wireless modem-router setup?
Yes, you can connect multiple devices to your wireless modem-router setup. Most routers have a limited number of devices that can be connected at the same time, so ensure to check the specifications of your router to know the maximum number of connected devices it can handle.
4. What is the difference between a modem-router combo and a wireless router?
A modem-router combo is a device that has both a modem and a router built into a single unit, while a wireless router is a standalone device that connects to an existing modem. Having a modem-router combo can simplify your home network setup, while a wireless router gives you more flexibility in configuring your network.
5. What should I do if I’m having trouble connecting my router to my modem wirelessly?
If you’re having trouble connecting your router to your modem wirelessly, try resetting both devices and check if they’re within range of each other. Make sure that your router’s firmware is updated and that you’re using the correct Wi-Fi network and password. If the problem persists, contact your router or modem’s technical support team for assistance.
Connecting a router and modem wirelessly may seem like a daunting task, but it can be accomplished with relative ease. By following the steps discussed earlier, you can ensure that your devices are paired correctly, ensuring that your devices are online. Keep in mind that while the steps may vary depending on the model of your devices, the basic principles remain the same. With a little patience and a bit of tech know-how, you can have your router and modem working together wirelessly in no time. Now, it’s up to you to give it a try. Happy surfing!

A micro SD adapter is a small device that allows micro SD cards to be read by standard SD card readers for use in devices that only accept the larger SD format. This adapter is often necessary because many modern devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and digital cameras, are designed with micro SD card slots due to their compact size.
Micro SD adapters are a practical solution for those who frequently transfer data between devices that have different card slot formats. They are a simple and convenient way to access and transfer data from micro SD cards on a variety of devices without the need for specialized equipment. Micro SD adapters come in different shapes and sizes, including compact adapters that are easy to carry and keep with you at all times. Overall, a micro SD adapter is an essential accessory for anyone who relies on micro SD cards for digital storage.
What is Micro SD Adapter?
A micro SD adapter is a small device used to convert a micro SD memory card into a standard SD card size. This allows the micro SD card to be used with devices that accept only the larger SD format. Some key points about micro SD adapters include:
– Micro SD adapters are typically made of plastic, with a slot for the micro SD card on one end and a lock switch on the other end.
– The adapter simply slides onto the micro SD card, aligning with the metal contacts on the card itself.
– Once the adapter is in place, it can be inserted into a standard SD card slot on a device such as a camera or computer.
– Micro SD adapters are useful because micro SD cards are typically smaller than SD cards, making them more portable and convenient for use with devices such as smartphones and tablets.
– However, some older devices still require SD cards, so an adapter can make it possible to use a micro SD card in these devices as well.
– It’s important to note that while a micro SD adapter can make a micro SD card compatible with an SD card slot, the reverse is not true; an SD card cannot be used in a micro SD slot without a different type of adapter.
1. What is a micro SD adapter?
A micro SD adapter is a small device that allows a micro SD card to be used in devices that only accept a larger SD card size.
2. Can a micro SD card be used without an adapter?
No, unless the device has a slot specifically designed for a micro SD card, an adapter is needed to use a micro SD card in a larger SD card slot.
3. Are all micro SD adapters the same size and shape?
No, there are different types of micro SD adapters with varying sizes and shapes to accommodate different devices and SD card sizes.
4. Do micro SD adapters affect the performance of the micro SD card?
No, so long as the adapter is of good quality and properly installed, the adapter should not affect the performance of the micro SD card.
5. How do I insert a micro SD card into an adapter?
First, make sure the adapter is open and then gently push the micro SD card into the corresponding slot on the adapter. Be sure the card is properly aligned and securely in place before using.
In this day and age where digital storage is a necessity, having a micro SD adapter can be highly beneficial. It allows us to expand the storage capacity of our devices and transfer files easily. With the right adapter, we can use our micro SD card with almost any device, making it a versatile accessory to have on hand. Whether for personal or professional use, investing in a quality micro SD adapter can make our digital lives much more convenient.

I read with pleasure “The Value of Certification” from Pawel Brodzinski, that emanated from a discussion about evaluating employees.
Pawel points out some obvious pros to certification, and one big con:
- It’s objective measurement
- It’s butt-simple (Pawel didn’t actually say this, that’s, ummm, me talkin’)
- It’s, and I quote, “pretty much useless”
Then it dawned on me. College degrees are certificates, as are high school diplomas. So are participation trophies for the poor schlubs who didn’t win anything at tweeny league and are (defenselessly) surrounded by adults who mistakenly (IMHO) think such a trophy is meaningful to the kids (kind of like dogfood made to appeal to the purchaser). But that’s a digression…
In our software world, it is the Scrum Certification that bears the brunt of criticism — even though Pawel does not mention this particular style of paper valor. For those who pass an exam after two-days of grueling lectures, practical hands-on training (a.k.a., apprenticing) at the feet of master craftsmen, and in-depth co-op work experience at multiple cutting-edge development shops doing different projects… Oh, wait, that’s not quite fair as that really isn’t what’s going down in just two days. Crap. Scratch that tact.
Anyway, let’s just say many folks seem to be intent on hiring other folks based on Scrum certification (caveat emptor: I do not have said certification, so I am not speaking from direct experience — I’m too cheap to pay for it). I base this on my extensive analysis of randomingly seeing two hiring ads for Scrum Masters that were virtually identical in content — and buffoonery, I might add. For me, it was a big, bad smell for the organization. But, in large bureaucratic organizations (government or MyLargeCo), abdicating responsibility is honed to a fine art. Ergo, the HR departments did what they think was valid trawling for Scrumsters by evidently plagiarizing some sort of HR-i-pedia definition of the perfect Scrumster parameters. Good luck with that. These actions are a boon to your not-as-lazy-or-naive competition (oh, unless you are the Government, which has no competition, only an ever increasing appetite — I’ll not digress here, either).
So, maybe the Scrum Certificate is a bit like a Participation Trophy.
Yea, you were there. You participated. You didn’t actually compete/win or do anything meaningful in the real world to earn it, but there you have it. You should feel better about it. And it does mean that you at least did something (unlike me). Go forth and procreate little Scrumlins. (BTW: I’ve got nothing against Scrum, I think it is a great and simple approach to PM! It’s just hard to pass up the opportunity to poke fun at our own agile software world and make up little monikers as I go.)
So I can look at “certification” in at least two ways:
- Basing hiring or performance appraisal on a CSM certificate is pretty awesome for the individual on the receiving end. I bet they didn’t have to go into debt to get one (compared to a college degree)! (Although all of me wants to be judged on my real merits, not on some piece of paper — alas the chicken and the egg comes to mind for newbies.)
- If companies find a valuable correlation between a certificate (CSM or otherwise) and knowledge work, I would be surprised. In my experience, the last thing that I would qualify as a trait of software projects, is that they are “cookie-cutter” — that is, where one-size anything fits all (be it ideal Scrum process, database, language, etc.). However, sans external stupidity (like a bailout), companies will “learn” how to treat any software certificate — much as they have with college diplomas and belly buttons (i.e., everyone has one). The market will sort things out, eventually — in that I have faith.
So there you have it. Pawel says “Certification is Pretty Much Useless” — and I disagree. That very aspect of certification will serve a purpose to differentiate those that place undue trust in the paper from those that stick to good hiring practices and good employee relations. I predict the latter prevail.
ps: Pawel, I agree with you in spirit.

Some of the stranger behaviors of anime fans can make people cringe, like sleeping with a body pillow designed after a character in a show. Shows themselves make people cringe with inappropriate relationships, worn-out cliches, and excessive fan service. Ridiculous arguments among fans are also cringey.
Overall, the best platform is probably MyAnimeList. It’s designed specifically for sharing information related to anime, and pretty much all anime fans use it. From there, Twitter is the best for official announcements, and Facebook is the best for finding local groups and making in-person connections.

There’s never been a better time to replace your roof, because in 2021, tax code Section 179 was updated to have an even better tax deduction for commercial building owners.
Since commercial roofs typically have a large square foot coverage area, the cost of a full roof replacement for commercial buildings can get steep (which leads to many building owners putting off when they need a new roof). But, procrastinating on roof replacement can cause additional problems that compromise the integrity of your entire building!
Sure, repairing damage and performing preventative maintenance on your roof helps prolong its lifespan, but all roofs will need to be replaced eventually. As of 2021, this became a lot more affordable for business owners with an extended tax code adding improvements to commercial roofing to the qualified list.
What Qualifies for the Commercial Roof Tax Write Off?
Any repair or upgrade to your business can be completely written off under the revised tax law. Almost all commercial buildings qualify under this tax code, including office spaces, retail shops, industrial or warehouse infrastructure, and apartment buildings.
Improvements to commercial buildings are included to receive the deduction within this tax act, which includes the write off of roof replacements performed in the same year as the deduction… and there is no size qualifier – buildings can be big or small.
And, while your commercial building roof replacement counts for the tax deduction, it doesn’t stop there! Some additional building upgrades that are included in Section 179 upgrades include the following:
- New equipment
- Office furniture
- Property additions
- Purchases or leases
- Computers and software
- Security systems and alarm systems
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC)
- Anything that adds value to your commercial property!
Can I Save on Roof Repairs, Too?
Not ready to fully replace your roofing system yet? No problem.
You can still benefit from IRS tax deductions for roof repair (but there may be additional limits and timing restrictions, so be sure to review options with a well-versed commercial roofing professional). Roof maintenance and repair is technically “improving upon your business and commercial building,” so you can often write off these expenses, as well. And, since roofing project costs add up quickly, these tax deductions make improving your commercial building even more affordable.
At TEMA Roofing Services, we are big believers in commercial roof restoration, when appropriate! It can save money on not having to obtain an entirely new roof, especially when your roofing system has useful service life left.
How Much Money Can I Save?
Even with a sizable tax deduction, roof replacement for large commercial buildings is a costly (but ultimately necessary) improvement and should be planned for in advance. To ensure all your expenses are in order, it is important to discuss repair costs with your tax professional.
Thanks to the recent Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, business owners can deduct up to $1 million on their income tax, which is twice the amount originally granted back in 2017. Expensing the total amount during that tax year gives you this money back quickly instead of waiting for depreciation of the property. Be sure to include the entire cost of the equipment and repairs that qualify for the deduction. In some cases, it may actually save you money to buy new equipment than lease due to this write off. When making your financial plan, see how Section 179 can save you more.
Another good way to save money on your roofing system is to incorporate constant proactive commercial roof maintenance. Annual inspections and small repairs on your roof will ultimately extend the lifespan of your roof and save you from a costly roof replacement. Plus, it will help to maintain any warranties that may be in place for your existing roofing materials.
Are There Any Limits to the Tax Credit?
It is important to note that there are certain limitations of the tax code.
If the taxpayer pays more than $2 million in a given tax year, the Section 179 deduction is reduced by the amount exceeding the $1,050,000 phase-out threshold. Any advancements or equipment must have been purchased during that tax year, as well.
Finally, the deduction amount cannot be more than the total taxable income for the business during that tax year.
When Should I Replace My Commercial Roof?
Deciding to go forward with a full roof replacement is no small decision, due to the amount of money that goes into re-roofing (depending on the size of your building). However, this tax law might save you enough to stop holding off!
There are many warning signs that your roof is beyond reasonable repair and that full replacement is necessary. Some common signs include the following:
- Strange odors within your commercial property
- Sagging spots on flat roof systems
- Signs of damage
- Water pooling and leaks
Annual roof inspections and roofing repairs from a trusted roofing contractor can help delay the need for a full roof replacement. When you inspect regularly, you discover and are able to repair small problem areas before they cause larger issues. The longer leaks are left untreated, the more damage is done to the entire roofing system.
When repairs become increasingly more frequent, it may be time for a full replacement. While regular repairs and inspections are a great way to get the most out of your roof (and extend its longevity), at some point, it becomes more cost-effective to replace the entire roof. And now, with this updated IRS tax code, it’s even easier for business owners to find the money to invest in their buildings.
Who Should I Call to Replace My Roof?
It’s imperative to utilize a qualified, experienced roofing company for commercial roofing improvement needs, because an improperly installed or repaired roof will be more of a headache than a help!
An inexperienced contractor won’t have knowledge of many important facets of the business: tax deductible commercial roofing expenses, the process of maintaining roof manufacturer warranties, or when/if the benefits of full replacement outweigh repairs and restoration.

Battling condensation: How to keep your roof tent comfortably dry.
Roof tents have elevated the camping experience to new heights, quite literally. However, along with the breathtaking views and cosy sleeping arrangements, roof tent campers might encounter a common challenge: condensation. In this article, we delve into effective strategies to tackle condensation in your roof tent, ensuring a comfortable and dry camping adventure.
Condensation occurs when warm air inside the tent comes into contact with a colder surface, such as the tent’s walls or roof. This results in the conversion of moisture vapour into water droplets, which can accumulate and create a damp environment inside your tent.
One person can exhale up to 1 litre of water overnight, and this water vapour converts to liquid when it meets the colder walls of your roof tent. If there are multiple people sleeping, the amount of water in the air increases and condensation can be mistaken for a leak.
All Tent & Trail roof tents are made with top-quality breathable waterproof fabric, and have a waterproof sealant tape applied behind all the seams for added waterproofing protection. All our roof tents feature 2 x internal vents for air circulation and an anti-condensation layer under the mattress, for no extra cost.
While condensation is a natural process, minimising its effects can enhance your camping experience.
Best ways to prevent roof tent condensation
Prioritise proper ventilation: Ample ventilation is your first line of defence against condensation. Ensure your roof tent has windows, vents, or mesh panels that can be adjusted to allow for adequate airflow. By keeping these openings slightly open, you create a pathway for moisture-laden air to escape, reducing the chances of condensation buildup.
Location matters: Selecting the right campsite can make a significant difference. Avoid areas prone to moisture accumulation, such as valleys or spots near bodies of water. Choose well-ventilated locations that promote natural airflow around your tent.
Choose breathable materials: When selecting a roof tent, opt for those made from breathable fabrics, such as polycotton. These materials allow moisture to escape more easily, preventing excessive condensation buildup. Look for tents with good ventilation features such as vents and an anit-condensation layer. Select materials that balance waterproofing with breathability.
Control moisture inside: Limit the introduction of moisture inside your tent. Wipe down wet gear before bringing it in or leave it outside. Avoid activities that generate excess humidity, like cooking or boiling water, within the tent.
Utilise ventilation aids: If your roof tent’s ventilation options are limited, consider using battery-operated fans to improve airflow. Position the fans strategically to move air around and facilitate moisture evaporation.
Insulate the base: Insulating the base of your roof tent can help prevent the cold from meeting warm air inside, a primary cause of condensation. Place foam or insulated sleeping pads underneath to create a barrier.
Move your pet out: It may seem mean but your pets will be breathing out moisture and it will be released from their fur. You train them to sleep outside or in your car, if it’s wet. If they are sleeping with you, just make sure to towel them down completely to avoid extra moisture in the roof tent.
Warm-up period: When entering the tent after outdoor activities, the temperature difference between your body and the tent interior can lead to initial condensation. Allow the tent to gradually warm up by leaving vents slightly open, reducing the impact of this issue.
Use silica gel packs: Reuseable silica gel packs are excellent moisture absorbers. Place them strategically inside your tent to help combat excess humidity. Regularly dry out or replace these packs to maintain their effectiveness.
Regular surface wiping: In the morning, take a moment to wipe down any surfaces inside the tent that may have accumulated condensation. This prevents moisture from being absorbed into materials and prevents mould or mildew growth.
Condensation is a common challenge faced by roof tent campers, but armed with the right knowledge and strategies, you can effectively combat it. Try prioritising ventilation, proper campsite selection, breathable materials, and strategic moisture management to see the difference in your tent. You can significantly reduce condensation’s impact and enjoy a comfortable, dry, and memorable camping experience in your roof tent. Embrace these tips and embark on your next outdoor adventure with confidence. Happy camping!

I’m forever intrigued by products that receive half wildly positive reviews and half crazy negative. Nobody questions a 5 out of 10 on anything. It’s hard to argue against mediocrity as that is the natural state of the man-made world. As a species, we tend to divest ourselves of things that are horrible, like, say, polio, and yet we are never capable of achieving lofty goals such as world peace or defenestrating coworkers who steal lunches from the office fridge.
Exaggerated exasperations are the current Yelp state of America. Excessive and jaunty jingoism versus Opus Dei self-flagellation over America’s atrocious indecencies. Many of the bottom score judges chicly cite widespread racism as prime among the sins of the nation. Generally, there’s no context or specificity behind these charges. This runs counter to our jurisprudence tradition wherein we insist upon specific allegations backed by evidence. A prosecutor can’t simply charge El Chapo with being a bad guy and insist we take him out back and pop a cap in his ass. Prove to us he murdered dozens of people by firing bullets into their privates. Then we can force him to watch basic cable and eat processed meats at our expense for the next four decades.
Beyond the generalized slander, is America a racist nation in deed, and what might be the evidence?
Before diving into an audit of racism, it’s worth establishing the ground rules for the word itself. In the waning days of 2018, laymen and laywomen toss around the word “racist” in the place of the more genteel, “Pardon me, but I think you’re misguided”. As a for instance, one social media user posts, “We ought better control the flow of illegal immigrants into the nation’s Southern border” and another commenter retorts, “Racist!” If that first person explains that large flows of low skilled workers from Central America have depressed working class wages and predominantly hurt Black Americans, they’re referred to as a “racist” with three exclamation points; a dozen minions immediately second the libel.
My high school English teacher referred to words such as racist as “charge words”, wherein the meaning of the word is entirely subordinated to its provocative intent. Like how the word asshole has nothing to do with the rectum. That’s no way to run a dictionary.
For the purposes of argument, let’s employ the practical definition of racist as a person who blindly detests others of a different race. Racist is not to be confused with racialist, somebody who views the world through the prism of race but has expressed benevolent intentions. Those would be your government employees and liberal arts majors from Northeastern colleges who insist on identifying everybody by race for what they assure you is a noble intention. Are you Hispanic, non White, White, non Hispanic, Pacific Islander with a splash of Mahogany Winter, etc. etc. Those pencil pushers for a perfect world aren’t racists. They are sickly obsessed with race, but they believe demographic tagging makes the world a better place. God have mercy on these sad morons. They’re not malicious, though far more destructive in their own ill-advised crusade.
Racists are clearly racist. They don’t have to be exposed in 140 characters or less by a interior designer from Shaker Heights. They’re obvious. They don’t want their kids playing with kids of other races. They prefer to live in segregated neighborhoods. They despise people of a different color or race; it’s hate they hold in their heart. No different than the people with the nooses and the hoods. Perhaps less overtly violent, but no less ignorant. I’ve come across a few in my travels. But not a ton.
If you’re not sure if somebody is or is not a racist, they are not a racist. Much like if you see something in your Taco Bell burrito and you’re not sure if it was meant to be there, it wasn’t. It’s probably a finger. These matters are per se. You know them when you see them. Frat kids in black face aren’t necessarily racists. At least not suddenly that very night. They’re morons. It’s important to maintain the distinction between ignoramus and racist if you want people who think about things before they form conclusions to believe you are one of them.
The dominant media denizen on the coasts find themselves burdened by eons of guilt from ancestral oppression of minority groups. Maybe you and yours got here in ’82 by way of a coyote bribe and a leaky Kon-Tiki level watercraft, but many of these folks came on the Mayflower or in the sequel ships and they have the burden of an Ancestry.com binder chock full of human rights violations. Ben Affleck’s ancestor literally sold slaves in The Antebellum South. Is that a real burden to carry five generations later? It is if you’re up for the Nobel Prize for Awesomely Enlightened Rich Celebrity year after year in your social bubble. So much so that Affleck had the news of his lineage squelched by PBS on their Finding Your Roots TV show. Solid play. It’s okay to be an alcoholic gambler who cheats on his wife, but not the distant descendant of the guy who sold sarsaparilla to slavers.
These desperate ninnies serve the role of the angry girlfriend, listing things about America they can’t stand or that needs to be fixed. A 10 Things I Hate About You directed at the purple mountain’s majesty. Openly hating your country and its traditions (or your parents or quaint home town or people who actually like living in Nebraska) instantly makes you a numbskull. It’s a red badge of discourage; quite different than being a apathetic realist, such as myself.
As an apathetic realist, I find little thrill in politically driven patriotism with which we stoke the fires of constant overseas wars. I can’t cry at the fifteenth record drop of I’m Proud to Be An America because it’s a convention and you’re the least sublime people I know and you’re covered in buttons. But I’m generically proud to be an American. Or, in the least, happy I was born here versus anywhere else in the world save for Samoa, where my belly would be considered moderate to trim. I appreciate football and support the underlying need for our nation’s military, and still mock how the Department of Defense and its key contractors pay the NFL for stars and stripes displays. You can love America not-blindly. It’s a real option.
In contrast, the news media and actors and 20-something senior marketing managers on the coasts find catharsis and ratings grabs in constantly ripping America a new one. Clearly this has ramped up exponentially since the 2016 election. Obama’s foreign policy failures were “good tries” while Trump’s are “heinous bumbling”. Hence, current recurring headlines about the awfulness of America that we simply didn’t see before the 2016 election while we were still bombing Sunni weddings in desert cities I can’t pronounce. Trump’s a man of questionable character, to say the least, but in terms of somewhat important stats like killing people, he’s done less than his two immediate predecessors.
Before Trump, flyover country to the cosmopolitan elites were merely disparate populations to be largely ignored, save for their whole grains contribution to plant-based dieters in Brentwood and Manhattan. After Trump, these big broad states are hot beds of hate, borne of alt-right crosses ablaze and David Duke leaflets ingrained into their toothless children’s grey matter; the white toothless children at least. (As a matter of fact, Blacks and Hispanics and Asians are no more or less generally racist than Caucasians. Stats show Caucasians are underrepresented by population in terms of hate crime acts. Nevertheless, whites are the majority demographic in the U.S. so the fact that black people rage on Korean grocers in urban neighborhoods isn’t relatively as big a social ill, unless you’re the Korean grocer targeted for harassment, then it truly sucks.)
“Racist” is that slur you employ in arguments when you have nothing intelligent to offer. Search the Internet for the million and one conversations where this accusation arises. Review the first few hundred thousand interactions and report back. You’ll find people casually tossing around the word because somebody has an opposing opinion on Immigration, Abortion, or whether or not the local park should have a separate area for skateboarders. It’s a popular rhetorical charge word.
As first noted by Godwin’s Law, calling somebody a Nazi will eventually come up in any online discussion. These Germanic doozies will often be substituted for racist, though even the people who casually charge others with racism to win debates are slightly embarrassed to go full Hitler, with the understanding that they themselves are largely Caucasian and Holocaust references are not to their benefit. You’ll note that black people rarely use Nazi references in discussions of racism. Hitler doesn’t exist in the A-list pantheon of evil white racist guys. He wasn’t a slaver or a plantation owner or a Republican, and, by point of fact, Hitler killed millions of entirely non-black persons in his quest for Aryan supremacy. Not ironic, but certainly demographically convenient.
For all the accusations and attention paid to racism in America, and the dozens of anecdotal cellphone videos of idiotic white ladies or drunk guys without shirts calling the cops on black kids for selling lemonade or playing hopscotch in a suspicious manner, is this nation founded by white imperialist Manifest Destiny pledgers really one of the more racist lands on the planet? Nah, not really.
My last science class was at age fifteen and I scored a B-minus against a landscape of extensive grade inflation. Still, I value even middling quality science over political statements, cable news rants, or diatribes from the guy who thinks because he follows Alyssa Milano on Twitter that he’s highly informed. I’ll take a loosely objective global survey from the Washington Post over what Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity proclaim based on the poorest of hidden agendas. Conveniently, I just happen to have such a study.
The study is two years old now but assume there hasn’t been a massive swing of tolerance and understanding in either direction in any nation in the world in the past 24 months. Racism isn’t like a rash; it’s not resolved in a couple weeks with the application of a topical ointment.
Insider Monkey, a hedge fund and financial data outlet, combined the Washington Post study with a Swedish survey to create what they felt was a more on-point score basis for racism in the 61 countries that participated in both surveys. These were questions directly about experiences of racism, as well as the more amorphous question, would you be comfortable living in a neighborhood composed of different racial backgrounds than your own. Netting this thing out, Insider Monkey came out with a 1-61 ranking, noting importantly that notoriously racist countries such as Austria and Syria were not part of the survey domain, so presume some likely top offenders did not make the list.
By way of shortcut, the United States did not make the Top 25 most racially intolerant nations. In fact, in one of the underlying studies, the one performed by the two Swedish social scientists, the United State came out as one of the least racist nations, again, relatively speaking. The evidence suggests heavily that the nations of the American continents, both North and South, were relatively racially tolerant. Not absent of racism in the least, but compared to many mostly Middle Eastern and Asian (both East Asian and Subcontinent), relatively better. In fact, even looking at a “most intolerant of black skinned persons” map of Europe put together by Harvard researchers, the more South and East you travel in Europe, in the direction of the Middle East and Asian continent, the less tolerance exists.
This not entirely settled bit of social science does jibe with world news and events, especially focused on the levels of sectarian and ethnic violence in many of these “more racist” nations. We simply don’t have rape gangs in the United States roving the streets looking to breed dominant culture babies into minority women. Let alone tribal riots, racial bombings, conflagrations set in minority neighborhoods, or three dozen guys in 1980’s Adidas t-shirts with crude blades looking to settle scores with different-colored villagers.
Part of this is simple economic development and standard of living. People with basic cable and air-conditioning are far less likely to pick up machetes for a race war in the first place. Lucky bastards with premium cable won’t even leave their couches if their apartment is on fire. Whereas poorer nations tend to have far more general unrest, angry sweaty people, and very little entertainment, let alone the availability of casual sex and booze. I hate inventing an adage on the spot, but let’s admit that guys who are getting some tend to be less inclined to random acts of barbarism. Also, being in prison in the U.S. stinks compared to being not in prison, whereas the distinction is tougher to discern in many nations of the world.
It’s worth noting that Latin America scores well in terms of racial tolerance, and it’s not particularly wealthy. While Japan and Pacific-Asian countries are what you might politely refer to as, super-freaking racist and they’re doing super by GDP standards. A recent study by Japan’s Justice Ministry found that more than one in three foreigners living in Japan experienced racism. In Japan where there really is but one race, racism and hating-foreigners is pretty much interchangeable. The Japanese hate the hell out of the Koreans, who they brutalized during the war, kidnapping and raping their women who they considered sub-human sex slaves. We Westerners might not see much difference between ourselves and our closest neighbors, but that’s because we’re not epically racist like the Asians. We may battle Muslims in the U.S. over the right to have separate foot baths in airports, but we aren’t rounding up a million of them for reeducation labor camps like in China. We may talk a bunch of ugly crap in this country in various quarters, but we’re not China, or Japan, or India, or Syria; nobody’s going to sleep tonight wondering if they’re to be rounded up en masse and burnt alive by flaming tires or gunned down before dug out burial ditches.
In the past couple of years the sweeping accusations of widespread racism in America have ratcheted up to an eleven out of ten on the hyperbolic social media scale, there’s simply little evidence to suggest the United States is a relatively racist nation. Not not racist, and not without a wicked stain on its permanent record, and not without current problems, simply, one of the better ones. This is why you don’t see minorities fleeing the United States for, well, for anywhere. There’s nowhere to go. A smidgeon of people will pack up for Canada, and Madonna once left for England for three years, but in general, the oppression of minorities traffic pattern is entirely leaving elsewhere to come to the U.S. (The United States has 46 million immigrants currently, the vast majority of them non-Caucasian. There’s not even a close second to us in the world. Market choices do tell you quite a bit. Every poor troubled soul is buying America, or Sweden or Norway or England, etc.)
While American is clearly, relatively un-horrible, there remains strong evidence that minorities, especially black persons in the United States, continue to suffer various forms of institutional racism. And here is where racialism versus racism is worth re-addressing. Because while you can picture in your head the Bull Connors and the George Wallaces of the Deep South with their segregationist, openly racist views on the social contract, you can’t earnestly look at the modern numbers and see statistically meaningful white violence or assaults against minority populations. They exist, in smallish numbers, very smallish compared to other nations. (Visit a soccer game in Europe some time featuring a prominent black athlete and read the signs, the same if, in the rare case, there’s a Jewish member of the team. Now go to the Meadowlands for a football game and count how many times somebody in the stands shouts out an angry N-bomb. There’s a difference. )
There are approximately 125 million minorities in the United States. There were approximately 4,000 minority hate crime victims (attacks on property or person) in 2017. That’s a rate of 1 per 31,000 persons of color, even assuming all of these attacks on minorities are by white persons, which they’re not. If you’re the one, it stinks. But you’re far more likely to be the one in other countries. And if you’re a minority in the U.S., you’re far more likely to be the victim of violence by somebody of your own race or ethnicity. Again, that sucks, but it’s not racism.
This is not to say that even one, let alone four thousand racist acts is tolerable, let alone laudable. It is to say that all matters of crime and social ill require perspective. The first being, it is harder to be a minority than not a minority in every country on this planet, or simply any neighborhood. Listen to the Everclear song, Father of Mine, for scientific evidence:
I was ten years old
Doing all that I could
It wasn’t easy for me
To be a scared white boy
In a black neighborhood
Okay, that’s not scientific evidence, but it’s anecdotal and connotes some universal truth. I was once the only white guy at a ten-person company working in a minority neighborhood. I was ripped on mercilessly, though mostly in good fun. Except for the small penis jokes. But I get it. The different guy always gets picked on. And when that is threatening in intent, it’s all the worse. And when it’s part of a historical context of real oppression, segregation and slavery, even worse. But violent crime across the board is descending in our nation, and most people who live in non-drug and gang infested quarters, live in relative peace. In contrast, as violence descends, full-tilt media coverage of salacious stories fitting a certain America-sucks narrative skyrockets. Hence, a kid in Jersey is forced to cut his dreads if he wants to wrestle and it’s a worldwide story seen by tens of millions within six hours. Before the Internet, how much such stories did you read about Jersey high school wrestling in your local paper if you were in Yuma, Arizona? Are we better off for all knowing there might be a racist wrestling referee somewhere in Jersey? Yes and no. Yes to the information, no to the inordinate lack of context. Most high school wrestling referees are decent people. I don’t know that for a fact, but it seems likely enough.
In contrast to personal accounts of racism per se realistically on the decline, institutional and government sanctioned racialism remains in pandemic proportions across the United States. What came out of the Civil Rights movement of fifty plus years ago in this country’s struggle over race was a drastic move toward racial profiling and racial identity as key indicators of treatment. The Reverend Dr. King preached for a color-blind society, but the legacy of his time was an intense push by many in this country, and most of the leading academic and government institutions, to make color a preeminent marker of a person’s identity and interface with society at large. Indulge in an hour on any given day of MSNBC and you’ll see nothing has changed.
The upshot of this racialism was a new form of segregation, the kind where separate but equal was replaced by something that sounded so much better but resulted in so much worse, and still separate. Affirmative Action was established for minorities but was quickly overtaken by white women in its infancy, the demographic of whom to this day continues to dominate all real and practical benefits of the program. Large scale urban housing was constructed to effectively re-segregate blacks, welfare systems were devised that encouraged the dissolution of low-income, largely racial minority family units, and a war on drugs was commenced that heavily targeted black neighborhoods and massively enhanced young black male incarceration rates. There are far less Bull Connors running around with hoses these days, but there remains a massively imprisoned and underemployed black population that is harassed by police officers of all colors and genders.
These and similarly widespread racially destructive programs are pushed incessantly by well-meaning, well-intentioned, racialists who would swear to you they have many black friends and marched against Apartheid while attending SUNY Binghamton. Non-racists damaging the hell out of a race beyond anything some redneck with a bunch of obnoxious curse words could drunkenly utter outside a Little Rock pool hall.
As a child, my older brother taught me the neatest of tricks in dealing with our parents. Never say “no” to anything they ask, say “yes’ and then simply don’t do it. He was a sinister kid. Now he’s a lawyer. Not much has changed. But he hit on something powerful even at age eight. Human beings are simple creatures. If you present yourself in opposition, there’s going to be a fight. If you present yourself as a friend, you can get away with all kinds of abuse. This is why you can only truly be betrayed by somebody you love and trust. The person you know as the biggest jerk in your world can never hurt you, not really. You’ve already discounted them. It’s always Fredo out on the boat.
Such is the case of these racialists controlling vast levers of power in our nation. A racist you can handle. You know where they stand, on opposing battle lines, to be dealt with directly, as needed. But these people with earnest smiles and degrees in majors that didn’t exist a generation ago, they’re very dangerous. In the name of good, you can do so much bad, simply because nobody stops a man or woman with a decent sounding set of talking points and a confusing job title.
By way of disclosure, I am a cis white male who doesn’t deny this nation’s abysmal history of slavery and systemic racism, though I did take less part in each than, say, Ben Affleck’s great-great-grandfather. The fact is, admitting you have a problem may be the first step in fixing your problem, but the second step has to be figuring out entirely what that problem is. My immigrant Grandma used to make us sit on the toilet whenever we didn’t feel well, no matter the symptoms. This led me to being told to sit on the potty for twenty minutes after I broke my tibia skateboarding. To this day, I have a crooked bone and I’m now developing hemorrhoids. Her remedy wasn’t incorrect for some occasions, merely incorrect for all occasions. Things worth fixing are things worth investigating honestly.
Bowing our heads in collective shame as a racist country isn’t going to solve a thing save for more HuffPost clicks. Calling all white people racists and running exclamatory headlines about the cultural appropriation in a stupid Marvel movie can’t possibly be the road to wellness. Donald Trump may be a racist a-hole, I don’t know for sure about the first part. He’s certainly not the cause of intergenerational poverty, broken schools, and spiked incarceration and unemployment rates among urban minority populations going back decades. Blaming this figurehead only feels good. Pummeling him won’t solve any problems. It’s a carefully designed distraction from the reality of our situation.
Remember that there are far more people making a living by pointing out racism than there are people earning off of being openly racist. Try to deeply discount both and we’ll all be better off. I’m sorry to report: America isn’t that bad.

Okay, okay….if you have been reading our travel posts, you can tell we (really me) love food and I generally plan our destinations around access to good food and wine. That is only one of the reasons Beaver, Utah won’t be a return destination.
In our walks around town we had looked into the large street front windows of this colorful and lively restaurant. Filled to capacity at lunch and dinner time, always a good sign, we decided to stop in for happy hour. No crowds, half-price drinks…what is better than that? The food!!!
The cocktail menu was intriguing….Terry began with a stout drink with rum and ginger, I began with pear vodka and lemonade….we were quite happy by the time we ordered dinner!

Iterative refinement is a key side of human problem-solving. Iterative refinement is a course of that entails making an preliminary draught after which enhancing it by means of self-feedback. For example, whereas writing an e-mail to a coworker to request a doc, an individual would first use a simple request like “give me the information Instantly.” However, after some thought, the writer may notice that the phrase could possibly be thought of unfriendly and adjusted it to “Might you kindly present me the information?” Utilizing iterative suggestions and modification, they present on this examine that enormous language fashions (LLMs) can efficiently mimic this cognitive course of in people.
Though LLMs are able to producing coherent outputs within the preliminary stage, they steadily fall quick when addressing extra complicated necessities, notably for duties with a number of goals (resembling dialogue response era with standards like making the response related, partaking, and protected) or these with much less clear objectives (e.g., enhancing program readability). Fashionable LLMs could create comprehensible output in such circumstances. Nonetheless, iterative enchancment is required to ensure that every one project necessities are addressed and that the suitable stage of high quality is attained.
Superior strategies that depend on third-party reward and supervision fashions name both monumental quantities of coaching knowledge or costly human annotations, which are sometimes sensible to get. These drawbacks spotlight the necessity for a extra adaptable and environment friendly methodology of textual content era which may be used for a lot of jobs with little monitoring. On this examine, researchers from CMU, Allen Institute, College of Washington, NVIDIA, UCSD, and Google Analysis, suggest SELF-REFINE overcome these constraints and higher replicate the human artistic manufacturing course of and not using a expensive human suggestions loop. (Determine 1).
The 2 halves of SELF-REFINE—FEEDBACK and REFINE—work collectively in an iterative cycle to supply high-quality outcomes. They transmit the identical mannequin M (1), an preliminary draught output produced by mannequin M (0), to obtain suggestions (1). The identical mannequin (3) is given suggestions on the unique manufacturing, which iteratively improves (0) the output that was initially produced. Iteratively repeating this process continues till the mannequin deems no further enchancment is required, at which level the method ends. The central thesis of this examine is that in a few-shot scenario, the identical underlying language mannequin handles suggestions and refining.
SELF-REFINE gives the primary iterative technique to reinforce era using NL suggestions successfully.
Determine 1 depicts the process in an instance. They use SELF-REFINE to finish numerous duties that span many domains and name for suggestions and revision strategies, resembling evaluate rewriting, acronym creation, restricted era, narrative era, code rewriting, response era, and toxicity elimination. Their core parts are instantiated utilizing a few-shot prompting technique, which allows us to make use of a couple of situations to jumpstart the mannequin’s studying. Their iterative strategy, which incorporates experiments, element evaluation, a wide range of duties, the era of helpful suggestions, and stopping standards, is meant to information future analysis on this discipline.
Their contributions, briefly, are:
- To assist LLMs do higher on a wide range of duties, they recommend SELF-REFINE, a singular approach that allows them to reinforce their outcomes utilizing their suggestions repeatedly. In contrast to earlier efforts, their methodology requires a single LLM, which makes use of reinforcement studying or supervised coaching knowledge.
- They conduct in depth experiments on seven totally different duties—evaluate rewriting, acronym era, story era, code rewriting, response era, constrained era, and toxicity elimination—and present that SELF-REFINE performs a minimum of 5% higher—and typically as much as greater than 40% higher—than a direct era from highly effective turbines like GPT-3.5 and even GPT-4.

We See a Different Frontier, edited by Fabio Fernandes and Djibril al-Ayad | review by Stephen Theaker
But those stories that feature aliens use them well. In “Them Ships” Silvia Moreno-Garcia considers how the flattening of human social structures by an alien invasion might not be entirely unwelcome among those currently at the bottom of the pile. A spacecraft hangs over the city in “A Bridge of Words” by Dinesh Rao, broadcasting an incomprehensible message, while Riya researches the tattoos of the country she left behind. Both are good stories, but Sunny Moraine’s “A Heap of Broken Images” is astonishing. It’s the heartbreaking story of an alien guide showing insensitive human tourists around the scene of a massacre. The story’s point is made by how unsurprised the reader is to learn what happened.
“What Really Happened in Ficandula” by Rochita Loenen-Ruiz is the only other story to take us off-world. It begins with a strong taste of Battlestar Galactica, as Gemma’s ship arrives at New Cordillera after six hundred and twenty leaps to throw off their pursuers, but it develops very quickly into a fine story with its own flavour that draws on the kind of shameful incidents that go hand in hand with imperial power and colonisation: forced migration, forced adoption, trigger-happy soldiers.
Some stories show us the survivors of global catastrophes, such as Joyce Chng’s “Lotus”, which shows people surviving in a waterlogged land, who find a wonderful source of fresh water and must decide whether to claim ownership of it, given all the consequences that defending it might bring. “Fleet” by Sandra McDonald is the story of a girl called Bridge who used to be a boy named Magahet Joseph Howard USN. She’s married to a man whose other wife hopes she’ll “be gored to death by a goonie pig”. Bridge’s people live on an island which was once part of an empire, and isn’t any more, and they have mixed feelings about re-establishing contact with whatever’s left of civilisation.
Shweta Narayan’s “The Arrangement of Their Parts” is set in 1665, where an Englishman is trying to exploit clockwork life forms, while “Forests of the Night” by Gabriel Murray is told by the unacknowledged son of an English captain, who brings him back to England from Kuala Lumpur. The mother is left behind, the boy employed as a valet. Something is killing sheep, horses and then men, and it needs to be hunted. Though they’re not writers one would expect to meet at this party, Kipling and Doyle came to mind, and the story isn’t embarrassed by the comparison. “Pancho Villa’s Flying Circus” by Ernest Hogan sees Tesla creating a helicopter-borne death ray for Mexican revolutionaries, only for it to be hijacked by a guy angry about Hollywood’s cultural appropriation of his girlfriend. It’s the kind of pulpy cartoon story with a serious theme that would fit neatly into an Obverse anthology. “I Stole the D.C.’s Eyeglass” is about a girl who worries for her stubborn sister, Minisare, who disappears off into the forest and doesn’t want to be given a husband. Sofia Samatar shows a community ruined by commercial exploitation, so used to the roar of machinery that the children can all read lips – but it ends on a hopeful note.
Lavie Tidhar is one of my favourite writers at the moment and “Dark Continents” is another excellent story from him. “We began to edit, but we were sloppy at first”, we read. That process created a new role for Livingstone, an African invasion of the confederacy, a Jewish homeland in Uganda. Style, ideas, storytelling: Tidhar’s stories excel in every area. A sentence here sums up the injustice of colonialism: “We had moved en masse to this land, empty but for its people, granted to us by the power of British empire and its King and parliament.”
Another of my favourite stories in the anthology was “Old Domes” by J.Y. Yang. Jing-Li is a cullmaster of buildings: when they are to be knocked down or refurbished she must clear the way by killing their guardian spirits. The story looks not just at the ongoing after-effects of colonialism, but also at the histories lost as colonial powers impose a new year zero. And it also has some good fights! “How to Make a Time Machine Do Things that Are Not in the Manual or The Gambiarra Method” is a Rudy Ruckerish story by Fabio Fernandes about researchers who discover time travel “during experiments on locative media and augmented reality as applied to elevators”. This makes sense, since even ordinary lifts are known to cause time dilations. “Droplet” by Rahul Kanakia inverts the usual story of the Indian emigrant who agonises over having taken their skills abroad – see for example the film Swades – to show what happens when they return to India, in this case because the USA has begun to dry up.
“Vector” is a cyberpunk story told in the second person by Benjanun Sriduangkaew: “You. Are. (A weapon. A virus. A commandment from God.)” You are literally plugged into the internet, and the hope is that you’ll do something to reverse the exploitation of your country and the steamrolling of its culture, a recurring theme in the book: “This is how to rewrite a country’s past, and when a past is gone it is easy to replace the present with convenience.” Similar themes are explored in “Remembering Turinam” by N.A. Ratnayake, despite its more historical (or fantastical?) setting. This wasn’t my favourite of the stories here, its protagonist Salai a bit too self-righteous and unpleasant to carry the reader. The story is essentially a conversation, the subject the active erasing of the Turian language by the Rytari invaders, and the question of whether it should be restored, and if so how. An exploration of the viral nature of language might have been very interesting in this context – you can’t keep a good word down! – but language is a topic big enough to inspire an anthology in itself, and a story shouldn’t be blamed for not exploring every angle.
The book was hardly published in hopes of a pat on the head from a white Englishman, and even the act of reviewing it – issuing my judgment upon the hard work of these plucky foreign types! – seems to go against the spirit of the book. The afterword by Ekaterina Sedia is a more sensitive response to the book’s themes than I could ever write (though if I had thought like her that the stories shared an anti-scientific theme I would have seen it as a weakness rather than a strength). But, for what my opinion is worth, I thought the book was absolutely terrific. The short length of the stories meant none had time to waste, and there is a great deal of variety. It’s full of surprising plots and perspectives, and if the premise of the book might make you expect a lecture, don’t think of the finger-wagging kind, think more of an inspirational guest speaker who opens your eyes to new ideas and new approaches. Many anthologists, when asked about the lack of diversity in their work, declare that they care about quality and not quotas. This book shows that diversity needn’t come at a cost, and is in fact an extremely valuable quality for an anthology.
On the technical side, the Kindle edition is fine, apart from (on my devices, at least) being set in block paragraphs with a line space between. That could be a deliberate choice – it does look rather elegant – but it means more page turns, especially on smaller screens. Other than that, the book is very highly recommended.

Sports Betting 101
One of the easiest sports to bet on is the over/under. It is a simple way to make a quick profit on a game. Many sports have over/under lines available. The main way that sportsbooks make money is through the vig, or the fee that is charged when you place your bet. The vig is different for every sport, so it is best to learn the difference between over/under and underlined bets.
If you want to bet on a game and are not sure who to back, then you can always make use of a sports book. Most of these sites offer the same games, and you can make a profit just by making a small wager. There are also several websites that allow you to bet on specific teams. While these sites aren’t regulated, they may offer free picks. A large percentage of the sportsbooks on the Internet are licensed.
The NBA and MLB are pushing for the legal sportsbooks to pay them for the data. They argue that this will help preserve the integrity of the games and make betting on them more fair. However, only Tennessee and Illinois have passed laws that require these sportsbooks to use official league data. While these are unconstitutional, they are a start toward the right direction. The U.S. government will need to decide how to regulate sports betting. There are a few other things that you should know before you start betting.
A sports betting website should be easy to navigate and use. The website should have a simple interface and should have easy to navigate features. You should also be aware of the different types of betting sites that are available to you. You should always choose the one that is most convenient for you. In-play betting is another way to make money on sports events. It is the most popular type of bet, but it may be more difficult to navigate.
In-play betting in football refers to a bet made during the game. It can be a side bet, or you can bet on the final score of a game. In-play football betting allows you to place bets on the match’s result, half-time score, number of goals, and total goals. In-play betting has a few structural characteristics that distinguish it from other sports betting. For example, you can place bets on the halftime and end scores, and you can adjust the point spread or the total during the game.
Some sports betting terms can be confusing for newcomers. A sports betting glossary should help you understand the jargon used. There are many common terms and strategies in sports betting, and these are explained in the glossary. A simple definition of a game is an “addendum”. In addition, you can bet on a specific game that has changed the odds. It is important to know the rules of sports betting before you place a bet.

The Brooklyn Nets take on the Dallas Mavericks tonight, and that marks round six of “The BK Game Streak,” where you can build a streak predicting how well the Nets will do in each game for a chance to win a $200 Amazon Gift Card!
Playing the game is as simple as it sounds:
1. The contest relies on a standard betting line for each game. (Note: you must be logged into Facebook to play.) To make your prediction, select YES or NO to agree or disagree. For example: today’s prediction is “Brooklyn will beat Dallas by 4 or more points.” If you think The Nets will win by 4 or more points, select “YES.” If you think they’ll win by 3 or fewer points, or lose, select “NO.”
2. String together wins and try to get the longest streak of correct predictions before the end of the NBA regular season. Follow game results on the leaderboard on the right sidebar.
At the end of the season, we’ll award three prizes to the players with the best three streaks: The Gold Net Trophy (longest streak) and a $200 Amazon Gift Card will be awarded to first place, the Silver Net Trophy (second-longest streak) and a $50 Amazon Gift Card to second place, and the Bronze Net Trophy (third-longest streak) $25 Amazon Gift Card and a Bronze Net Trophy to third place.
Read more rules for the contest here.
Some fun facts on the contest so far:

Jade Roberts of PR-led digital agency raraPR and her family moved into their home in Dandenong in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2017 that the team began their renovations. Jade explains that the 1960s home had undergone some previous upgrades, and had touches of the ‘60s, 70s, 80s and 90s throughout!’ Keen to avoid this pick-your-own-decade-adventure-aesthetic, the family updated the home to ‘harmonise everything aesthetically, while creating an open plan living area where we could all be together’.
Aesthetic changes included repainting the interiors from their original green and yellow (!) to a fresh Dulux Natural White, and swapping blue carpet to a neutral tone. Structural renovations involved relocating the kitchen to create an extra bedroom, and an open plan living space. Jade explains ‘the kitchen moved to an outdated dining area at the back of the house. We were able to open up that dining area, remove some nibs and connect it to a rumpus/bar, which is now our living and dining.’ Sadly, the aging 70s bar had to go, but the family kept much of the original joinery to create a new dining area and nook.
Jade explains that her background in fashion and retail PR has provided her with a ‘life-long passion for thoughtfully designed and made things.’ She highlights how this interest has matured into a love of interior design, art and architecture – which has been shaped by her friendship with Rhiannon Orr from Design Orr Build who ‘unofficially guided me from the sidelines.’ Incredibly helpful, as Jade reveals that the renovations were completed while parenting a one year old, pregnant with their second child and running a business with a team from home. Phew!
When we asked Jade for her favourite pieces in the home… we received quite a long list! Highlights include the Anchor Ceramics pots, Kara Rosenlund Landscape Mountain print (a daily reminder of making time for outdoors goodness) and the retro radio wireless. Jade highlights ‘with a restricted furniture budget over the years, we’ve had stages of too much retro furniture all at once…. at the risk of ‘grandma kitsch’ we’ve kept this piece.’
Jade describes her much loved home as ‘mid-century… with a curation of handcrafted objects.’ Imbued with warmth, and decorated with an elegant collection of favourite collected objects, this family home perfectly balances a sense of nostalgia with contemporary design and sleek minimalism.

How TurboTax Works
The newest version of TurboTax offers a bevy of features that can help you get your taxes filed quickly, perhaps more quickly than you could have filled out the paperwork yourself. The one that stands out is the ability to import W2 information directly from your employer and link it to all of the related tax information and forms.
Once you file your taxes, TurboTax will not only help you prepare your tax return, but can also offer users a summary of what is actually due to be paid when tax day comes around.
TurboTax also has a feature to allow users to cut together a video explanation of their taxes to be sent as a message to someone, like a spouse or representative. This makes it incredibly easy to let others know all of the details and answer any questions that they may have.
How The TurboTax Questionnaire Works
The TurboTax “forecast” is the most recent development in tax preparation. The TurboTax IRS questionnaire does the work for you. Before jumping into the TurboTax review, let’s take a look at how the process works.
The Forecast calculator is a program within TurboTax that determines your tax refund by asking you a series of questions. You need to complete the TurboTax questionnaire before you finish setting up your tax profile, otherwise you’ll have to go back and do it. You’ll choose the simplest answers to get to the bottom line of your taxes.
If you are filling up your tax return for the first time with TurboTax, this is a great feature to try. The TurboTax IRS calculator will take you through a series of questions based on your tax filing status and income, which essentially helps the software prepare your taxes for you. TurboTax is supposed to give you the “maximum refund guaranteed,” so it may be helpful to let the software do the leg work.
Once your tax profile is setup and you’ve entered your tax information, you can see your estimated refund if you use the TurboTax Forecast.
What Happens Next
On the next step, you will have the option of entering personal information about your family size. At the top of the page, you will be asked how many dependents you have. This question is about all the people living in your household, not just your own children. Having lots of children obviously qualifies as a larger family. Likewise, if you have a niece or nephew that you support and take care of, they count as a dependent. It is important to enter everything accurately because it can trigger a change to your deduction and refund amounts. If you don’t have a baby, first time homeowner or student you can enter zero.
The next step is the location of your family. The IRS has fifty states, every province and territory, and many territories represented when it comes to tax. They want to know where you live so they can apply the correct tax laws to your situation. Select from the list of possible locations to find yours. If it isn’t in the list, select the one that best describes you. If you live in one country but work in another, then you can still file as a resident of the country in which you live. After you pick the location of your family it will automatically change the state that each household member is claiming.
What’s New in TurboTax for 2022
Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, continually improves its Tax Return software with updated versions released each year. It works on Windows and Mac systems (both 64 bit).
Similar to when you get new software for your work computer or mobile device, the most recent version of TurboTax will replace your older editions. The advantage of this is that you can take advantage of all the improvements and new features offered by your tax preparation system.
Reviewing the new features is a great way to save money and ensure that you file your returns accurately.
Also, don’t forget to review the frequently asked questions for TurboTax, as its wealth of information can help you navigate certain tax topics and explain how they work.
Additional links may also be helpful for people who want to learn more about certain tax topics.
The updates to Turbo Tax Deluxe include:
- “Question Expert” feature which highlights questions that you’ve answered incorrectly in previous years and reminds you to take a closer look this time knowing that these questions are most likely likely to be more complex

You can’t take it with you. It’s a saying we’ve all heard that leads some to donate charitably, others to invest in real estate, and more to siphon offshore for tax-free inheritances. For Forrest Fenn—an eccentric Air Force veteran and history buff that amassed his fortune selling artifacts and fine art in his gallery—it meant assuring his legacy. Diagnosed in 1988 with terminal cancer, he filled a ten by ten “treasure chest” with gold and jewels estimated around three million dollars. Fenn ultimately survived his ailment, deciding around age 80 to hide the wealth in the Rocky Mountains. He then wrote a cryptic poem providing clues to its whereabouts and to this day continues answering emails and conducting interviews about this bounty lying in wait.
It’s a crazy story that’s brought nearly ninety-five thousand prospectors—professional and amateur alike—to the area for the hunt. People have gone missing in their search and some have even died, the latest body having been discovered in July 2016. But more keep coming because the attraction of adventure and wealth is too much to deny. They eat up Fenn’s clues and the declaration that some have been within two hundred feet of pay dirt in the past. To newcomers it’s just a matter of finding an area they like that has been trekked before and scour it for any sign of the box’s whereabouts. Some say it’s a lie, others that it’s been found without the victor admitting so. Fenn says he’d know if it were.
It was only a matter of time before someone took notice and decided to make a movie about this aging millionaire and the dedicated treasure seekers hanging on his every word. Enter Tomas Leach and his documentary The Lure, itself a provocative title that on first blush seems to remark on the endeavor being a game. Perhaps Fenn is simply enjoying himself as devotees risk everything for something that doesn’t exist, luring their adventurous spirits out to give them something to hope for that shakes them from the doldrums of an otherwise suffocating malaise. Either way Fenn becomes a hero—if you can look past those who’ve met their end in his name. He’s potentially making someone rich and in the meantime helping thousands more feel alive.
Leach doesn’t treat this subject matter as a lark like so many of the archived newscasts he splices in, however. He enters from a place of emotion and how this circus has affected those who’ve embraced it. While there are probably a ton of greedy opportunists out there looking with GPS technology and no love for the gorgeous natural expanses surrounding them, Leach has ignored them to find a select few engaged in a journey of self-discovery. There are some who have taken on this mission as a means to free themselves from societal constraints and release themselves from self-imposed prisons erected by depression, ambivalence, and a lack of dignity. For them this isn’t about success. It’s about catharsis. Nothing is more powerful and Leach knows it.
So we meet these travelers in a place of humor at their situations. Amanda Fry and Paulina Longenbaugh talk about wish lists for when they succeed. David Rice explains how he merely wants to brag that he found it, take some pictures, pocket a couple souvenirs, and put the box back where it was. Katya Luce revels in the chase, always laughing excitably because she knows this is exactly where she wants to be. And Mike Cox sets out with compass and walking sticks in-hand, searching without maps because he knows where he wants to go before setting out and only goes there before returning home to decipher another perfect spot. They’re having fun like we all should, but it’s so much more than that too.
Interspersed with their escapades and majestic New Mexican Rocky Mountain environments are heart-on-sleeve admissions about why they have all converged in the American west. Tragedy has hit some whether physical or mental; revelries of hope and determination have given others reason to keep going despite bags of medication and chemo IV drips. The Lure quickly sheds any anecdotal intrigue to peel back the layers of our psyche and discover what it is that truly drives us forward. Even when it comes to the architect of this whole scenario, reflection and mortality lead the way. Fenn sought to give what he could no longer use, his mission to provide the world purpose in his own small way. And for many he has at lengths he may never truly know.
Fenn has become a boon for Rocky Mountain tourism, leading many to journey towards a part of our nation they’ve likely dismissed in the past. There’s a spiritual aspect to what Leach captures beyond the humans populating his film. I can’t say I’m not emboldened to travel west myself to camp and climb those peaks rising up. For me Leach’s greatest success is in finding the story’s melancholy with lines like Cox asking his son if the spot they’ve found looks like a good place to die. It’s about sleeping under a starry sky unburdened by city smog or electric lights. Maybe Fenn’s treasure will one day change someone’s life in a material way. Maybe it won’t. In the meantime, though, it’s calling us to awaken and explore.
The Lure had its world premiere at DOC NYC.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the egg whites to your stand mixer or another bowl.
Make a well in the center of the flour and whisk together 3 egg yolks, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients; don't over-mix. A few dry spots are ok.
Beat the egg whites in your stand mixer or with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in half of the egg whites (don't over mix! Fold, not stir!)
Add the chopped chocolate and the remaining egg whites and gently fold in until combined.
Heat waffle iron and cook according to directions, making sure to coat the iron with nonstick spray.
Turn your oven on to the warm setting (170 degrees F). Place a baking sheet topped with a cooling rack in the oven, and set the waffles on it to keep warm until ready to serve. (This keeps them from getting soggy.) Cover them with foil if it's going to be a while.
Meanwhile, make the ganache. Add the cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about a minute and a half, stirring halfway, or until bubbles form on the edges.
Immediately add the chocolate chips and let sit for one minute. Then whisk until all the lumps are gone and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the butter and salt. If it returns to room temperature and thickens before you serve it, just throw it in the microwave for a bit until it's liquid again.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s one of engineering intellect Husnain Tanweer Kazmi wins Finland’s acclamation and is mandated to lead the country’s one of the most innovative and lucrative cutting-edge technology programs, associated with the field of energy storage.
Pakistan’s pride Kazmi is heading the Northern European country‘s high-end energy storage technology development project at Teraloop, an area globally known for revolutionary initiatives towards energy storage solutions.
Talking to this news agency via telephone Syed Husnain Kazmi shared some details about his initiative and said project consortium, named SMARAGDI, is a joint effort of Tampere University (TAU) and five Finnish companies, 3DStep, Teraloop, Ramentor, Meluta, and Luvata.
This Finland’s one of the most advanced technological initiatives is worth around two million Euros funded by Business Finland and has the potential to revolutionize energy storage, Kazmi informed.
Syed Husnain, a graduate of UET Taxila, earned a master’s degree in Electrical Power and Energy Engineering from Aalto University, is known for his stellar work in the development of a measurement system for very fast high voltage impulses used to quantify the effects of lightning on power grids.
To a question “how do you present Pakistan there?” he said I am representing the core national values of hardworking and integrity and tell my colleagues that Pakistan is the land of people who really put in blood and sweat in achieving top-notch results. He said his colleagues know him as the “Crazy Pindi Boy” which he happily wears like a medal.
Kazmi is also concerned about Pakistan’s energy needs and said Pakistan was blessed where renewable energy was abundant, there are lots of avenues where we could add amazing value.
“I would love to help universities, government bodies, and organizations in Pakistan to develop capacity in demand modern technologies,” he said. Kazmi said he wanted to serve his homeland and was ready to run the extra mile.
In his message to the Pakistani youth over his success and achievements, he said Pakistani graduates have a lot of potential in the field of engineering and “I advise them to be multidisciplinary and don’t remain stick to one field as energy storage, electric vehicles and power engineering are all co-related future fields to excel.”
“I always encourage going beyond the obvious”, he concluded on these motivational remarks. TF Report

Kamalika Guha Roy (Founder& CEO, Ebullientech)
With over 20+ years of rich experience, Kamalika Guha Roy knows quite well how to develop products & teams from Ground Zero!
A tech innovator & problem solver at heart, Kamalika Guha Roy, realized entrepreneurship as her true inner calling at an early age. Born to a scholarly father & an artistic mother, Kamalika went after the road less taken.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT A YOUNG AGE
After completing her B.Sc from the University of Calcutta, she ventured into entrepreneurship at a time when the word wasn’t even known amongst the masses. She founded Azure Technologies with two of her friends in 2002.
Azure Technologies provided IT & Application Development services, including developing desktop and web applications using Microsoft Technologies. Being a robust tech enthusiast & innovator, Kamalika managed a hue of responsibilities in her new-formed startup, including requirement analysis, UX, database design, application design, coding, testing, deployment/ release, client communication, project cost recovery & after-sales support.
Kamalika served numerous quality clients, the biggest one being Hindustan Unilever. However, the firm dissolved due to ideological differences.
THE 9-5 WHEEL
After dissolving the firm, Kamalika, upon her parent’s insistence involved in multiple jobs across various roles; from Software Developer to Chief Architect, she gained much experience across different tech positions.
She started with a service-based technology company & gradually moved towards tech-enabled product companies. The combination of these two helped her build an immense techno-functional knowledge-base across diverse business domains like retail, e-commerce, logistics, supply chain, finance, distribution, ed-tech & many more.

Kamalika picked the name Ebullientech combining the two expressions Ebullience (Passionate) and Technology. The company provides a horizon of services, including Web, Android & iOS App Development, Cloud Consulting, ERP, OTT Solutioning, eCommerce Portals, Digital Marketing & Startup mentoring.
“We are a company entirely focused on building products of many startups and SMEs that either lack funding or expertise in the technology sphere,” says Kamalika.

With inculcated core values of transparency, integrity, empathy, generosity, inclusive leadership, Kamalika aims to build a community of technology resources & consumers focused on growth and equity building.
PHILOSOPHY AND ADVICE FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS
Starting up at a young age, Kamalika came across various hurdles, two of the most prominent being misogyny & racism. She overcame these by enriching her knowledge, sharpening her skills & letting her work do the talking.
Kamalika is a firm believer in the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.”
As an inspiration to thousands of young female entrepreneurs, Kamalika advises the young ones to believe in themselves, be positive, value people, strengthen their skills & stay unfazed by misogyny, workplace politics & favouritism.

The beat goes on
February 07 , 2020
Huntsville Hospital Heart Center recently launched a new Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic staffed and developed by cardiologists Abdul W. Hritani, MD, and James D. Murphy, MD. The clinic was created in an effort to facilitate referrals and provide a comprehensive evaluation and treatment strategy for these complex patients.
Heart Center Director of Patient Care Karla Neville said the clinic is open to referrals from community physicians. The goal is to provide a seamless referral process to community cardiologists, rheumatologists, pulmonologists and primary care physicians who are often on the frontlines in recognizing these complex patients.
“Our goal is to provide excellent care for these complex patients, and to provide an opportunity for every patient on pulmonary hypertension-specific medication to be evaluated and followed in a comprehensive manner,” Karla said.
The Heart Center's Echocardiography laboratory, Cardiac Catheterization laboratory and Rehab program have been integrated into the new clinic to facilitate the diagnostic and treatment process.
Pulmonary hypertension is a common disorder causing elevated right sided heart pressures and is most often caused by lung and heart diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), on the other hand, is a rare disorder and occurs secondary to a disease process affecting the lung vessels. PAH is a life-threatening disease that can rapidly deteriorate if misdiagnosed or inadequately treated.
The goal of the new clinic is to identify those with PAH and to tailor an individual treatment strategy to improve symptoms, lifestyle, and survival. Very advanced patients may require referral to a transplant center.

Harding Falls Hike – Orange County
Summary for Harding Falls Hike
Strenuous Adventure Hike – Read Adventure Hiking Page
7.5 Miles Round Trip
Deep in a tranquil riparian canyon lies a hidden Shangra-La of sparkling pools and lush forest, leading to a majestic 60′ twin-tier waterfall. Decent use trail for some of the hike, but off trail boulder hopping/bushwhacking for at least half the hike.
Harding Falls is hidden in the pristine depths of Harding Canyon. The canyon itself is a sylvan gem – a tranquil riparian wonderland that gets relatively few visitors, especially as you travel further back. Reaching the falls is not a trivial effort – dangers include lots of boulder hopping, some climbing over larger boulder sets, poison oak, and although there is a use trail for some of the hike, eventually there is no trail at all. However, if the going gets too tough you can always back out at any point, and the canyon is lovely anyway. Note that water flow is dependent on season (winter and spring are best) and annual rainfall totals, so that while the falls typically run strong in season, there may be only a trickle later. The trail head begins at the Harding Truck Trail entrance near the tucker Wildlife Sanctuary close to the end of Modjeska Canyon Road, so it’s easy to find. Park in one of the two parking areas on the side of the road outside the Wildlife Sanctuary and display your adventure pass.
Directions to Trailhead for Harding Falls Hike
Map of Harding Falls Hike with Downloadable GPX File
Detailed Description for Harding Falls Hike
After you have found the Harding Truck Trail entrance across the road from the Wildlife Sanctuary, proceed up the dirt road past the locked metal gate about 1/3 mile , until you see the road branching to the left which drops into Harding Canyon, just past a set of conglomerate cliffs and before the Cleveland National Forest sign.
In an interesting historical anecdote, these cliffs – or perhaps those just across Harding Canyon – were the location where a posse trapped the colorful and notorious bandit Juan Flores in 1857. He escaped with two of his homies by riding their horses down the cliffs. Regrettably for Juan, he was caught a few days later and hanged.
Descend the road to the bottom of the canyon and head up canyon, attempting to follow the sometimes faint use trail.
The water rarely flows here because of the wide boulder field, but the somewhat dry and unappealing look of the canyon here belies the verdant sylvan paradise that lies ahead, especially in the rainy season.
After about 1/2 mile the canyon becomes much different in character, and normally water flows this far down throughout the rainy season. The canyon is usually rather green, with old growth oak groves. Watch for the abundant poison oak, however, so long pants are a must for this hike. As the season progresses, the water flow recedes further back into the canyon.
The use trail is sometimes difficult to follow as it winds its ways through the forest and crosses the stream, but try to stick with it as it makes the going much easier, After about 2.5 mile the canyon changes character as it turns into a narrower gorge with more elevation gain.
Now you enter a remarkably beautiful wonderland of crystalline pools, small waterfalls, and lush forest. However, the going is more demanding now because you must negotiate and climb over and around numerous obstacles like those same small waterfalls, a many boulders, and fallen trees. But this is a true paradise, and if you are shorter on time this destination itself is well worth the effort.
Note that in the GPX track on the map above I set a way point called large pool. Here is a photo of the pool so you know where you are, and how much further to go. It completely blocks the canyon and is unique so you can’t miss it, but you can climb around it easily on a ledge to the right. This is at about 3.2 miles, and you are 6/10 mile but still about 3/4 hour from the falls, because now the going gets even tougher.
But keep going, because the canyon is an extraordinary treasure, and something to be savored. Here is another decent sized waterfall that is immensely appealing with its large deep pool.
If you persevere, after about 3 hours from the start you should turn a corner and see the bottom 35′ – 40′ tier of Harding Falls about 200 yards away. Congratulations – this is not an easy one to see! There is an expansive but shallow pool at the base of the falls. It’s hard to see from here, but there is a higher tier, with a wonderful intermediate bench between the two tiers. Note that it is possible to climb up the left side of the falls if you are careful, but do not attempt this unless you are an experienced climber.
Here is the lovely upper tier, which is about 15′ in height. Truly a beautiful place!
And here the intermediate ledge, one of the great relaxation and mediation spots in all Southern California when the water is flowing. After enjoying this magnificent and tranquil Shangra-La, simply retrace your steps back down the canyon to your car.

Harding Falls on 3/4/2014. Note that the 2013-2014 rainy season was exceptionally dry, but the preceding weekend had produced a large rainstorm, and the falls were flowing rather nicely.

Howard alumna Imani Samuels from the class of 2006 champions rest, mindfulness, and clarity of conscience. Huru, Samuels’ D.C. based business, offers its clientele the space, meals and resources necessary to pause, relax and reflect on personal life.
“[Working] had such a debilitating impact on my lifestyle, on my way of thinking, on my relationships,” Samuels said.
In a conversation with The Hilltop, Samuels recounted a period in her career when she worked in the advertising industry.
“I was working all hours of the night, all hours of the weekend. It was almost like if I was losing my dreams, my aspirations, my motivations,” Samuels said.
Samuels is a married mother of two little girls. While in the advertising industry, she was split between working long hours and taking care of her family. She wanted to be as present with her two daughters as possible because her husband had inconsistent hours as a police detective.
Like Samuels, many are all too familiar with the burden of a demanding full-time job. Be it long hours or hefty workloads, career obligations can have lasting impacts on our well-being.
Students also struggle to cope with the volume of their responsibilities, often attending classes on little sleep or building up high levels of anxiety.
Samuels noted that stress and anxiety can be particularly apparent for Black individuals, touching on examples of harsh subjugation both in history and in the present.
To these ends, Samuels believes that we all need to take moments for ourselves to take care of our mental and emotional health.
After leaving the advertising industry and entering the marketing industry, she describes a moment one early morning at 3 a.m when she had a wake up moment.
“I vividly heard spirits say like…you have to go minister rest — there are so many people who are in a state of feeling like they don’t have control and so how can [I] restore that — that was the pivot point to what ultimately became Huru,” Samuels said.
On Sept. 20 of last year, Samuels launched Huru to help remedy the stress and anxiety issues that many in D.C. wrestle with.
Huru, which means “free” in Swahili, is a sanctuary that facilitates clients’ mindfulness and self-care through clinically, culturally and spiritually infused practices. It offers a full weekend experience of meditation, rest, and fully personalized meals. Eat, meditative activity, rest — that’s Huru’s model.
The entire experience is specifically curated to the client.
“I love love love this,” a quote from Brittani S. reads on the Huru site.
“That weekend at Huru was transformative, I created goals and dreams for me,” writes Mayra F.
Huru welcomes all different identities, but the experience is “designed for the Black woman,” Samuels said. She expands,
“For women of color — we’ve been in this cycle of passing down generational work. When you think about the fabric of this country and Black women — they were working either in the fields or in the house, they were caring for their family, and then they were also nursing the families of the folks they served. They’ve been doing three different jobs since they built the country.”
Samuels explained how this burden has been passed down, “Overtime there’s been this chronic fatigue that’s grown from generation to generation because those three jobs are inherently passed down from generation to generation. Black women are expected to go above and beyond, even from ourselves.”
In recognizing that Black people, students, professionals and other demographics alike need to practice mindfulness and self awareness, Samuels shared with The Hilltop some tips for our readers,
First, “Release the tension that you have when you first wake up. Before you get started on classes, before you even pick up your phone, release every tension in your body into your mattress,” Samuels said.
Second, “Honor how you feel in your body when certain moments come up — something that’s coming up in your body where you are feeling tension, or you feel chills, or you’re getting anxious — honor that by stopping what you’re doing or going to a place of comfort or just by taking deep breaths,” she said.
Third, she said, “Write… document your thoughts — it could be through writing or journaling, could also just be through , you can go back to them and understand how you’ve evolved.”

The video that shows this second was transferred in 2018 and completely exploded the web, circulating around the web with more than 20 million perspectives.
You will in the blink of an eye see why it exploded such a great amount for yourself!In the start of the video, we see the mother and her whelp in a similar room with the exception of the mother is in a confine and her offspring isn’t.
Her offspring is outside of it, meandering around, while the panda attendant is tidying up and dealing with some things.We know moms as defensive animals. It doesn’t generally make a difference on the off chance that it is a creature or a human —
if something is a mother, she will ensure and bolster her youngster for whatever length of time that she can. This applies to these two pandas — a mother and her panda child — when a panda manager gave her fledgling back to her.The mother isn’t just alright with this, however.
The entire time her whelp is out of the enclosure, she is pacing and strolling as close as possible to her infant. She gazes it down and chases after it at the edge of her enclosure. It is as though she is attempting to tell the manager that she needs her infant back.And in the end, the attendant gets the message.
So she takes a few to get back some composure of the child panda and cautiously returns it in the confine with its mama.You would feel that the mother would simply be upbeat that her infant is back and that is it. Be that as it may, no, the mother has the best response ever.
When her infant lands in the pen, she delicately gets it with her mouth and surges it over right to the opposite side of the confine, far away from the human.Next, we can’t generally observe precisely what the mother is doing to her kid, however she’s unquestionably accomplishing something as she is crouched over her child.
It nearly appears as though she is reviewing it and ensuring it is okay.”I wonder what experiences their heads when people help creatures, I genuinely truly wonder what the creatures think,” one individual remarked inquisitively on the video. “That little cub was probably like, ‘No, mommy, just five more minutes!’”
Another person wrote.A lot of people seem to think that the baby panda was in trouble when it finally got back into the cage and that its mother was “yelling” at it. That does seem like a pretty funny concept, we have to say!The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding is a non-profit organization that is focused on pandas and other rare animals. It is located in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Thanet council is planning to buy a building used as a charity House of Multiple Occupation to turn it into 14 two- bedroom flats for those facing homelessness.
The property in Thanet is made up of several houses that have been configured as a single property, consisting of rooms with en-suite bathrooms with shared lounges and kitchens.
Thanet council plans to use £1.6m remaining in its Live Margate programme to buy the property with further capital funds used for the conversion.
‘Live Margate’ is a long-term programme that involves buying existing properties and turning them into quality family homes in Margate. The programme has included investment of £23.1m through organisations including Thanet District Council, Kent County Council and the Homes & Communities Agency and runs from 2011 to 2026. During the scheme 9 properties have been purchased and refurbished creating 33 units of affordable housing.
The charity is moving out of the property next month after gaining a social investment loan last year to fund the purchase of 22 properties, including 12 in Thanet, for its clients.
‘Affordable rented housing’
A report to Thanet council Cabinet members, who will discuss the purchase at a meeting on March 2, says: “We have worked in partnership for a number of years with (the charity) and were contacted by them to see if we would be interested in purchasing the property they currently lease for affordable rented housing.
“The owner of the property was keen to ensure the property was able to ‘give something back’ to the community.
“The property in its current form is one unit, with ensuite rooms with shared kitchens and bathrooms. It is a licensed House in Multiple Occupation. All compliance and repairs are up to date.
“The property has been valued and the owner has agreed an offer, subject to contract, within the valuation.
“(They) have already started the process of moving out, they have purchased a number of units across Thanet, and have confirmed the property will be empty by 31st March 2023.”
The report adds that the conversion project will take between 12 and 18 months to develop and for works to start on site. During this time, the building has the potential to be occupied, as a house in multiple occupation to assist with the needs of homeless people.
Shadow member for housing Cllr Helen Whitehead said: “”The growth of our in-house housing service is much needed, and incredibly exciting; and seeing long term plans come to fruition is equally exciting.
“It is exceptionally positive to be able to use the Live Margate fund in a way that provides for all of our community, and provides much needed housing at a time where housing affordability is ever more of a concern.
“Huge thanks goes to the charity not only for their ongoing and essential work, but also for their consideration in putting forward a potential solution to great local need.”
Homes off Highfield Road in Ramsgate
At the same meeting Cabinet members will discuss using a parcel of land off of Highfield Road, Ramsgate, to build social housing.
The site is adjacent to Jackey Bakers sports ground.
The site was initially assessed to have capacity for up to 27 homes but council papers say this would most likely be reduced to approximately 20 units. Based on development of 25 new homes, the valuation advice is that the land value is £1,123,500. A smaller development of 20 homes would have a lower value of around £900k.
The council’s most recent Housing Needs study identified the district needs 548 new affordable homes each year to meet the needs of the local community. These 548 homes are part of the overall annual target of around 1,200 homes set out in Thanet’s adopted local plan.
A report to Cabinet members says: “Combining the council’s own programme with the programmes of housing association partners, new affordable homes are still a long way short of the 548 needed. “Due to these viability constraints on market led housing sites, there is a critical need for more affordable housing led sites to be identified and delivered, with land, funding and timetables that are independent of market housing delivery.
“There are a number of Housing Association led schemes being delivered within the district and the council’s own programme is making an essential contribution to increasing the number of new affordable homes, but more are needed.
“With the completion of phase 5 (council building and buying programme), the council will have delivered over 235 new homes since 2015.
“In November 2022, Cabinet reviewed the council’s housing development programme and agreed to allocate an initial £7.9m to a phase 5 programme, with potential to deliver 25-30 units in the financial year 2025/26. The site off of Highfield Road would make a significant contribution to the delivery of this commitment and a further site may also be needed to deliver the full programme.”
Cabinet members are expected to agree to transfer the site off Highfield Road from the general fund to the Housing Revenue Account for the provision of affordable housing.
Thanet council recently completed works at Foy House in Margate to provide temporary accommodation with eight one and two bedroom flats. The scheme, including building purchase and conversion, came in at £1.6m.
The newly refurbished flats provide temporary accommodation for people and families with urgent housing needs, who are being supported by the council. Immediate needs can occur for a variety of reasons, such as fleeing domestic abuse, marital breakdown, losing a job or being unable to pay rent.
Council build, buy and refurbish programme
Thanet council is also carrying out phase 4 of its build, buy and refurbish programme to provide social homes in the district with an £8.8million projected spend for up to 36 homes.
The programme is paid for through the council’s housing revenue account, right-to-buy proceeds and funding from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). Phase 3 provided new build council homes in King Street and Sussex Street, Ramsgate.
Thanet council plans to increase the number of new build council homes in the latest phase from 36 to 61 and will fund it by transferring £8.1 million earmarked for phase 5 to the current build as well as increasing the budget for 2024/25 by £0.2m.
Phase 4 of the affordable housing development programme covers the 2020-24 financial years. It includes the purchase of 14 properties which has already been completed at a cost of £3.4million.
Twenty-two new homes were due to be started on site in March 2023 and this will now be increased to 47 homes. The council plans for some of the units to be infill sites on existing estates including, Staner Court and Clements Road.
Thanet council has also bought the former Dane Valley Arms site in Millmead which, the authority says, has capacity for 20 homes and there are detailed design proposals for infill sites in and around Tomlin Drive, where garages are being brought down to make way for between 9-11 homes.
It is anticipated that a planning applications for Tomlin Drive, Staner Court and Clements Road will be submitted in the coming months, following consultation with neighbouring communities.
Housing waiting list
There are 1804 households on the housing waiting list in Thanet. The most recent rough sleeper count recorded 11 people on the streets and 45 people receiving assistance from the RISE homelessness team. Some 199 households are in temporary accommodation.
Thanet council receives around 1,000 homelessness applications each year. The council is landlord of 3034 properties but demand outstrips supply.

I have a confession to make. I used to HATE batch cooking. My thought was that it involved eating the same thing night after night.
Then I had kids that got involved in activities, and my time to get dinner on the table became limited. I needed a way to get healthy dinners on the table with little to no prep time. Suddenly I was rethinking batch cooking.
My vision of eating the same thing night after night was busted when I learned the true definition of batch cooking, how to do it successfully, and found many recipes.
If you want to save time and money and get dinner on the table quickly, it’s time to learn about batch cooking for beginners.
Let’s go to The Chalkboard.
Some of the links below are affiliate links. This means that, at zero cost to you, I will earn an affiliate commission if you click through the link and finalize a purchase. All opinions are my own. Read our full disclosure.
Jump Ahead To
What Is Batch Cooking?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, batch cooking is “the practice of cooking large amounts of a type of food at one time and keeping some to eat at later meals.”
Batch cooking is accomplished by doubling recipes to freeze or cooking meal components in advance. There are massive benefits to this cooking method.
- Save Time — You do the work in advance, saving precious minutes during dinner prep.
- Save Money — Buying items on sale or in bulk saves money.
- Save Brainpower — Trying to come up with ideas for dinner every night is exhausting and adds to our mental load. Having premade meals ready takes an item off the neverending to-do list.
What Are The Disadvantages Of Batch Cooking?
There are some disadvantages to batch cooking, although most have simple solutions.
- You must buy more groceries in advance. If your money is limited, it can be difficult to buy more than you need for the week can be difficult. Shopping bulk items and sales help keep costs down.
- You need time to cook. Making multiple dishes and additional components takes time. We get it if you don’t have an afternoon to dedicate to cooking! We’ve got some recipes that are very easy to double.
- You are eating the same thing more than once. Do not freeze a meal or prep components you don’t like or haven’t tried. You likely won’t eat it and are wasting time and money.
- You need the space to store the food. An extra freezer is a luxury only some have. Make sure you have ta place to store your freezer meals. We have tips to maximize space.
Is It Cheaper To Batch Cook?
Yes! It is cheaper to batch cook. Buying items in bulk is often cheaper. Also, most recipe writers don’t consider the amount of an item it uses. Home cooks are occasionally left with half-used bottles and cans; batch cooking helps fully use ingredients.
Batch Cooking For Beginners — What Do I Need To Start Batch Cooking?
Here’s the beauty of batch cooking, you don’t need special equipment to get started. You likely have everything you need already.
The Best Equipment For Batch Cooking For Beginners
- Large Pots —Since you are doubling or even tripling recipes, you need large pots to accommodate. We love enamel-covered cast iron. They are easy to clean, heat evenly, and easily go from stove to oven. For batch cooking, we recommend 6 quarts or bigger. The main drawback is that even when empty, these pans are heavy. Le Creuset is a popular brand, but it’s pricey. If you aren’t into making an investment, check out the Amazon Basics version. It’s a fraction of the cost.
- Permanent Markers — Frozen food looks the same after a while. It’s important to label and date everything. Ensure the marker is permanent and not your child’s Crayola washable version.
- Freezer Bags — Getting a more durable freezer bag is important. We love gallon sizes for sizes, but if you are making side dishes, quart sizes are great, too.
- Baking Sheets — These are nice but not necessary. After placing your meals in freezer bags, if you lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze, they take up less space and defrost quicker.
- Throw Away Aluminum Pans — If you want a no-fuss dinner, buy throwaway pans for any casserole you make (including lasagna and baked ziti). Loaf pans are perfect for two people, and 8×8 cake pans are great for a family of four.
- Vacuum Sealer — We have and love the older version of this Food Saver. It’s easy to operate and allows you to make bags in any size. Most foods are good in the freezer for 1-2 months; vacuum sealing extends this time significantly. If you have the storage space, it’s a worthy investment.
Tips For Successful Batch Cooking For Beginners
- Only cook what you are going to eat. If you didn’t like a meal the first time, you wouldn’t eat it the second time.
- Certain foods do not freeze well. Pasta that isn’t in a casserole, watery vegetables like cucumbers, delicate vegetables like leafy greens, dairy-based items like soups and dressings,
- Label everything. Everything starts to look the same after a while, and trust me; you won’t remember that you made meat sauce in June. Label and date anything you make.
- I like to write the instructions for reheating on the outside of casseroles. Writing on the cover saves me the time of looking up the recipe. They are also great to have if you want to bring food to a friend in need.
- Don’t go overboard. A good rule is not to make and freeze something you won’t eat in the next six weeks.
Batch Cooking For Beginners — What Is The Easiest Meat To Cook In Bulk?
Two meat types are easy to cook in bulk: ground beef and chicken breast. Both a very versatile and hard to mess up. They are the perfect starter recipes when batch cooking for beginners.
Put a little oil in a large pan to brown ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up as you go. We love this tool to get fine pieces.
Chicken breasts can be tricky to cook, specifically due to the dreaded rubbery chicken. But chicken tenderloins in a crock pot is very easy. The slow and low cooking method creates pulled chicken which is useful in everything from soups to salads.
How to cook shredded chicken in the crockpot:
- Spray the inside with cooking spray.
- Place two pounds of chicken breast in a crockpot and add ¾ cup of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 tsp. Seasoning salt.
- Cook for 3-4 hours on high or 2-3 hours on low until chicken is falling apart.
Batch Cooking Recipes For Beginners
Here are some delicious batch-cooking recipes for beginners. I’ve made all these many times, and they always come out great!
- Baked Ziti —Baked ziti is the way to go if you want a hearty comfort meal. This recipe is excellent, with or without the sausage. I like to split the recipe into two 8×8 cake pans. It easily feeds my family of four.
- Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken — This chicken is so versatile! We put it on baked sweet potatoes and top it with blue cheese dressing, salads, and buns for sandwiches. I omit the ranch seasoning.
- Bolognese — Some recipes for bolognese sauce take HOURS. The one from Ina Garten is ready in about 30 minutes. It’s super easy to double, and you can easily swap ground turkey or even chicken if you don’t like beef. Pasta only freezes well in casseroles, so freeze the sauce alone and make the pasta when ready.
- Tex Mex Chili — Leave the cheese and cilantro off and prepare this easy chili from Rachael Ray in under 30 minutes. It’s not spicy, and kids will love it. There isn’t much chopping involved, so it’s perfect for doubling or tripling. Batches taste great on baked potatoes, burritos, and even nachos.
- Pork Carnitas — These pork carnitas are so incredibly good. Whatever amount you are prepping for another day, stop at step one. Broiling twice dries out the meat.
- Slow Cooker Pulled Pork — We loved pulled pork, but it is too much night after night. We always freeze leftovers. We use Butt Rub for the seasoning; it’s not too salty or spicy.
- Meatballs — Almost any recipe will do, but we love Grandma Maroni’s recipe from the Food Network. Since there’s so much chopping, you might as well double it. They are well worth the effort.

On June 6, 2017, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve a rezoning and special exception request submitted by Scimores Academy, LLC, to allow construction of the Floris Conservatory for the Fine Arts at the intersection of Centreville Road and West Ox Road south of the Town of Herndon. The approval comes after more than two years of negotiations with landowners and fine arts, educational, and historic preservation organizations.
Situated on five parcels immediately adjacent to Frying Pan Farm Park in an area replete with cultural, recreational, and historic assets, the academy will offer classes in the fields of music, dance and movement, and creative and visual arts to students ages 4–18. The environmentally friendly building, designed by the architectural firm of Perkins+Will, will include specialized dedicated classrooms and studios of varying sizes for both individual instruction and larger groups.
While the site is not located within a Fairfax County Historic Overlay District, it is included within the nationally listed Floris Historic District, and contains numerous contributing and non-contributing structures. During the review process, the applicant’s consultants worked with County staff and the Department of Historic Resources to ensure the project would not result in a de listing of the site’s National Register status. The applicant appeared several times before Fairfax County’s History Commission and Architectural Review Board, and committed to interpretive signage and preservation of the site’s three historic farm buildings.
Cognizant of the site’s location adjacent to a heavily used agricultural park, the project team coordinated with the Fairfax County Park Authority on a number of issues to enhance the visitor experience at Frying Pan Farm Park. These included special event access, landscaping, setbacks, viewsheds, pedestrian and vehicular access, and more. The ultimate layout will provide 58% open space, preserve approximately 32,000 square feet of existing vegetation, and scale changes between the park, surrounding roadways, and the academy building that will allow the property’s rural character to be better understood by visitors.
Walsh Colucci Lubeley & Walsh attorney Andrew Painter represented the applicant in the case before the Board of Supervisors, while attorney Antonia Miller assisted with transactional matters in assembling the properties for the project. By providing a community-builder educational use and cultural facility linking surrounding communities and civic uses, this unique project will help address the need for additional arts education facilities in western Fairfax County, and will help meet the County’s comprehensive planning goals for visual and performing arts.

6 minute video of a young man being healed of a torn meniscus.
This testimony was published on the TLR Map.
Jarin had a torn meniscus. Pain level was at a 3 or 4 just standing there and up to a 7 by stretching it. Anyway, the doctor told him to take it easy for the next 6 or so weeks. His family and mine are long time friends and his sister was over to have piano lessons with my daughter, Lizzie. I’ve only been effectively doing this for about 6 months now. This is the first time I got it on camera. All Christians can do this
Jarin went from our house to baseball practice. His coach said he had a big smile on and was excited not to miss the rest of the season. He slid into 3rd during practice. It’s Fall now and his knee is still good. God is good. He’s already established our health as part of his atoning work, but it’s accessed by faith not by asking Him for it “if it be your will” which has disbelief and doubt built-in. It is already His will.
Sign up to our newsletter and follow what God is doing around the world through The Last Reformation. If you want to join us or become a partner, then this is also a good place to start.
We want Christianity to go back to the New Testament and the life we read about in the Book of Acts. We need to go out and preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons and be led by the Holy Spirit as we read there. It’s time we start obeying Jesus’ words and make disciples of all nations.

Now that the Moto G5 Plus and the G5S Plus is out in the market for a while now, the rumor mill has started again prepping out information about the successor of these devices, that’s the Moto G6 Plus. This new leak comes from the infamous leaker Evan Blass, who claimed in his tweet that in the next iteration of Moto G line up would see the return of the Play Edition, that means there’ll be a Moto G6 Play, in next year’s G series.
Motorola first introduced the Play moniker in its Moto X series with the Moto X Play being the upper-midrange device, and the Moto X Style being its flagship. But in the following year, Motorola didn’t launch any Moto X series devices and instead, we got the Moto Z, which also had a Z Play edition along with that the Moto G series even got a Moto G4 Play.
So, that means the Play editions went from being a part of flagship series (X and Z) to the entry-level budget phone with the G series. And after a year of hiatus, it’s returning to the premium budget series of the G line up.
The Moto G6 Play will offer a similar design but with a compact screen size and also strips down on the specs. However, the Play series might at least one major update along few security updates, as it belongs the G. So, it’s a good idea to get a G Play instead of a Moto E. Because the future updates of a Moto E are now uncertain, while a G Play might get it.
The Moto G6 Play will be priced similar to the Moto E series, so we think Motorola should not expand its product portfolio to more than one or two devices in a single series.

We Need to Do Better For Those Experiencing Homelessness With Chronic Illness
I’d like to tell you Eric’s story. Based on his condition when we recently met by chance, I don’t expect that he will be around for much longer. One of the castaway, forgotten, living and breathing human beings on the fringe of society in a large, prosperous city we choose not to see. Someone who if they approached you for loose change in a parking lot you would likely avert your eyes and pretend not to hear him. Or you might notice that he struggles to walk due to the toll that starvation paired with uncontrolled diabetes had taken on his slight, frail body.
One night last fall unable to sleep, I was sitting outside on my porch enjoying the last of the mild evenings that the month of October has in store. No traffic on the street, houses mostly dark, his footsteps startled me. I stood from my chair to go inside to bed and that’s when he spotted me from across the eerily quiet street. This is how I happened to meet Eric.
Like most people who have had an impact on me from a chance meeting, I believe there was a reason we crossed paths at 1 am when I would typically be in bed. Normally if someone was to approach me in the dark when I was at home alone, I would have high tailed it inside so fast out of fear. But I sensed he wasn’t calling out to me in the street to do me harm, though common sense told me to be cautious. I asked him to come closer to me because I was having a hard time hearing him clearly and didn’t want the neighbors getting upset at the raised voices. He slowly came across the street, very politely introduced himself and burst into tears. I’m not sure if it was from making a human connection in the early morning hours, but the only thing he asked for was for something to drink. He explained he was diabetic and hadn’t eaten in some time and was feeling poorly because of that. He collapsed in my driveway and I couldn’t not help this man I just met.
Having had diabetes myself, I can’t imagine how he’s still alive with very little food and no insulin. Giving him a few juice boxes I had on hand he dropped them. I didn’t immediately see in the dark that he was missing most of his fingers. He apologized for dropping them, then explained that he lost most of his fingers from frostbite last winter. Also he was due to have both of his feet amputated. My heart broke in a million pieces for this stranger that night. I’ve cried so many tears for Eric and others like him who don’t have access to the things you and I take for granted. Medicine, proper nutrition, a warm bed to sleep in at night.
As I packed him some food, water and a warm comforter to take along with him that evening, I wished I could do more. I also got enraged with the state of this city and society as a whole that allows this to happen. I didn’t ask how he came to be homeless, but the reality is it doesn’t matter one bit. Eric is someone’s son, still lives and breathes but has no options. I know you won’t forget me Eric and I won’t forget you. We as a society need to do better to help.

Reality TV star Christine Quinn was one of the original cast members of Selling Sunset when it first premiered on Netflix in 2019. The show follows the agents of The Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles, showcasing their personal and professional lives. They specialize in selling exclusive luxury properties within the city. She quickly became a fan favorite due to her fashion and feuds on the show. However, Christine surprisingly quit the show just before the new season, disappointing many fans. However, it’s time to update fans about her.
Christine Quinn’s Selling Sunset Stint
Since the show debuted in 2019, Christine Quinn has been a staple on the cast line-up. Most of the show’s fans saw her more like the livewire of the series over the past five seasons. She was at the center of most of the series’ exciting storylines. Christine’s involvement at the Oppenheim Group exceeded her vibrant personality and impeccable fashion sense. She engaged in heated conflicts with almost all the other agents.
By the end of season 5, Christine appears to have made more enemies than friends within the Oppenheim Group. Her future with the company grew uncertain when Emma Hernan accused her of trying to bribe a client with $5,000. And during the reunion, Christine’s exit from Selling Sunset became inevitable when Jason Oppenheim claimed there was “not a place for her at The Oppenheim Group.”
In August 2022, all the rumors concerning her future on the show were laid to rest when a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Christine was leaving Selling Sunset. This came after she terminated her contract with Oppenheim Group to pursue a business venture with her husband.
Christine and Her Husband Started a Luxury Real Estate Company
After seeing out season 5 of Selling Sunset, Christine left Oppenheim Group to co-found a crypto real estate venture, RealOpen. The Selling Sunset alum and her husband, Christian Dumontet, founded the company in April. Interestingly, the couple tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony that featured a swan-filled soiree during season 3 of Selling Sunset.
Dumontet had previously founded Foodler and sold it to GrubHub for over $50 million in 2017. However, he serves as the CEO of RealOpen, while his wife, Christine, serves as the company’s CMO. The couple’s brokerage company primarily facilitates property purchases by high-net-worth clients who prefer cryptocurrency. In a 2022 interview with TechCrunch, Christine discussed RealScore, their company’s crypto credit scoring software.
They highlighted why clients choose crypto over cash for luxury real estate transactions. The interview explored the benefits of using cryptocurrency in property purchases. Due to cryptocurrency’s volatility, Christine revealed that crypto “whales” prefer swift business transactions, including fast property purchases. RealScore enables rapid property deal closures, bypassing the typical few-day duration and expediting the process significantly.
Christine Entered The Fashion Industry
One of the things that made Christine stand out from the other Selling Sunset cast members was her jaw-dropping outfits. The Selling Sunset alum had a keen eye for high-end fashion. So it didn’t come as a surprise to most of the viewers of the popular Netflix series when Christine decided to venture into fashion, and she did it in a big way.
In July 2022, Christine dazzled alongside Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidman while walking the runway for Balenciaga during Couture Week. Later, during an interview with WWD, Christine mapped out her plans for a career in fashion. She said,
“I would love to be a creative director. In addition to that, I also love walking and runway modeling. Right now, I would love to collaborate with big brands and help be a creative director, and then from there, I can gain experience and maybe launch my own fashion line.”
Apart from fashion, Selling Sunset alum Christine also has her eyes set on Hollywood. The Selling Sunset alum wants to follow in the footsteps of award-winning singer Lady Gaga. The latter quickly transitioned into the movie industry with films like “A Star Is Born” and “American Horror Story.”
Christine Quinn Explained She Was Forced To Wear Revealing Clothes on Selling Sunset
Since exiting the show, Christine hasn’t spoken about her time on the show, but rather, she has taken pains to give more insight into her plans and current projects. Before the Selling Sunset season 6 premiere, Christine made a detour by appearing on “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast on May 15. While speaking on the podcast, the reality star alleged that the Selling Sunset producers dictated the dress code for the ladies and always encouraged them to wear more revealing clothes.
Christine claimed that while many of the other girls bowed to the pressure from the producers, she always stood her ground and established boundaries about what she felt comfortable wearing. Christine claimed that her insistence on avoiding wearing bikinis on the show led to several run-ins with the procedures. She said,
“A very conscious choice for me in the show is I never wore two-piece bikinis. And there were so many fights about that. So many fights from producers and production, constantly commenting on our bodies and telling us what to wear.”
Although Netflix has not responded to Christine’s claims yet, there might be some form of rebuttal in the coming weeks. For now, the world seems to be at Christine’s feet since she left all of the drama of Selling Sunset behind. Nothing seems beyond her reach, and it is only a matter of time before fans get to see her on reality TV again.

Simon Whale, CEO of Kerfuffle has been discussing the motivation behind his recently published white paper around KPIs and management, as well as his views on introducing gamification back into the industry.
Whale took part in the latest podcast with Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals, to explain that he and his firm and looking to better understand what it is that agents and thinking and understanding their pain points.
He told McKenzie: “We have been sending out a lot of surveys because we want to understand what issues agents are experiencing within the day to day of their business, such as their frustrations with CRM software or how the whole tech stack fits together. One aspect that has been close to my heart is management and information reporting, which on the face of it sounds really dull and grey, but businesses need access to actionable information that will help them make informed decisions and drive their business forward.
“It is the old maxim – if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. While there are several suppliers looking to specialise in information management, most agents still heavily rely on excel for business management, which is why wanted reach out to agents to get their opinions.”
He continued: “I have often asked the question – why is it that so few owners know the stats they need to off the top of their heads? Classically, at the moment you would be hoping to turn over your pipeline three or four times, but some agents are struggling to turn it over twice at the moment. Businesses might be selling everything they list, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are in a good position in terms of cash flow.
“It is important to know that and understand what the data is telling you. While information is vital, again it is crucial to focus on the right information and not be overloaded with data. I believe that there shouldn’t be any more than three KPIs that are being focused on, otherwise, can they truly be called key indicators.
“Too many KPIs means that the focus is lost and could result in the gaming of stats, which isn’t good for the business.”
McKenzie says that in his career, which includes 15 years as a corporate and 20 years as an independent agent, his experience has been that it is important to make decisions on the appropriate data rather than too much data.
He commented: “It can be surprising how little knowledge some agents have about their own business, their own performance and what their needs are to run the business successfully. Agents need to know their appropriate data and understand what they need to be doing to ensure the longevity of their business.”
McKenzie notes that when he was the MD of a large corporate brand, he asked the top-performing agents how they like to be managed. “One of the things they hated was when management ignored underperformance, as it was demotivating to them as agents who put in the extra work. They also loved reward and recognition, they wanted to be top of the league tables. Give an estate agent a league table and they win try and win it.”
He added: “If individuals want to know the comparisons throughout their areas, then as a business owner I would certainly want to know what my competitors are doing.
“Our sister company BriefYourMarket has a product called KnowYourMarket, which provides a mystery shopping service both in-house and externally to competitors. This provides a wealth of information and helps agents to be better. Talking about evolution and gamification of the sector, I wonder if we have done enough of it over the past ten years.”

With black tousled hair and an unkempt beard, Damiano Tommasi strikes an unmistakable figure as president of the Italian Footballer’s Union (AIC). Aside from a few flecks of grey, his appearance has barely changed since he made his debut for Verona in 1994, aged just 19.
In 2011, Damiano Tommasi appeared to fulfil his destiny when he was elected by fellow professionals to lead the AIC. In fact, he’d spent much of the preceding two decades inadvertently building his credentials for the role.
Tommasi broke the mould of the modern footballer. Highly principled, selfless and cerebral, he demonstrated moral and philanthropic instincts from early on in his career. Tommasi opted to undertake civil service rather than military service, declaring he “did not want to serve his country holding a rifle”.
Upon establishing himself as a professional, he would oversee the redistribution of his teammates’ disciplinary fines to support charitable causes. Later in his career, he made a sizeable personal donation and – more remarkably still – offered his own labour during the close season to help construct dwellings for migrants in Italy.
Tommasi graduated through the academy of his local team, Hellas Verona. He built his reputation as an industrious defensive midfielder; a tenacious tackler with an assured touch and impressive range of passing. In the summer of 1996, as Italy’s senior team floundered at the Euro 96 group stage, the under-21s were busy defeating hosts Spain in their own European Championship.
Tommasi was a key member of that team, providing the defensive shield in front of Fabio Cannavaro and Alessandro Nesta. After three seasons in Serie B and with a junior European title under his belt, Roma made their move to bring Tommasi to the Eternal City.
The 1996/97 season proved a difficult one for Roma, who stuttered to a disappointing mid-table finish. However, the emergence of Tommasi was a rare bright spot, as he notched 30 appearances during his debut Serie A campaign.
There was no looking back by the time Zdeněk Zeman arrived in 1997, Tommasi playing a crucial role in his fabled attacking style. As the deep-lying midfielder, his job was to break up the opposition’s play and initiate the next attack through a forward surge or an incisive pass.
Fabio Capello’s appointment in 1999 lifted both Roma and Tommasi to the next level, ultimately delivering the 2001 Scudetto. Tommasi was one of the first names on the teamsheet and was typically paired with Cristiano Zanetti or Emerson as part of Capello’s double pivot in midfield. This provided an impermeable barrier in front of Walter Samuel, Aldair and Jonathan Zebina, whilst also granting attacking licence to wing backs Cafu and Vincent Candela.
At the other end of the pitch, Capello had built a team with an embarrassment of attacking talent in Gabriel Batistuta, Francesco Totti, Vincenzo Montella and the underrated Marco Delvecchio. Typically of Tommasi, he played the role of unsung hero, providing the drum beat and doing the dirty work which allowed the talents of others to flourish.
Roma teammate Francesco Antonioli remarked of Tommasi: “He had an incredible season the year we won the Scudetto – he was everywhere, all the time. He would take knocks all game long and just get the ball and carry on”.
If Tommasi’s contribution to the Scudetto could be summed up in one match, it would be the away trip to third-placed Atalanta in January 2001. Having held title rivals Juventus to a 0-0 draw in the previous game, Roma faced a stern test in Lombardy. Tommasi was imperious that afternoon amidst the torrential rain of Bergamo; warrior-like, he controlled the middle of the pitch and then popped up in the six-yard box to lash home the goal that sealed a 2-0 victory.
For his part, Tommasi was ever the reluctant hero, keen to play down his own contributions and to instead shift the focus to others. Upon receiving his first full international call-up in 1998, he publicly claimed he was not deserving. It was his form during the Scudetto season that propelled him to become a regular starter for Giovanni Trapattoni’s Italy.
Certainly, there were more technically complete midfielders on the peninsula at that time, but none could compete with Tommasi in terms of guile, determination and commitment to the cause. Il Trap favoured two defensive midfielders, allowing Tommasi to reprise his partnership with Zanetti, who had since moved to Inter.
Such was the esteem in which Tommasi was held, he was ever-present during the 2002 World Cup campaign, meaning Luigi Di Biagio and heir-apparent Gennaro Gattuso had to settle for bit-part roles. Meanwhile, other defensive midfield alternatives in Massimo Ambrosini, Alessio Tacchinardi and the injured Demetrio Albertini missed out altogether.
Fast-forward to pre-season 2004 and Roma travelled to Austria to take on Tony Pulis’ Stoke City in a friendly match. During that game, Tommasi was on the receiving end of a typically robust challenge from Gerry Taggart, resulting in a complete breakdown of his right knee. As Tommasi crumpled to the turf, it was instantly clear that significant damage had been sustained. In the following days, it transpired that he had ruptured cruciate ligaments, and at 31 years of age, it appeared that we might never again see the best of Tommasi.
The entire 2004/05 season came and went with Tommasi entrenched in his own personal battle to regain fitness. He was making progress, but it was torturously slow. Even as his teammates returned for pre-season training in the summer of 2005, he was unable to join them. There was no doubting Tommasi’s commitment; his surgeon commented on his “miraculous” strength and desire to return.
However, his impending contract renewal presented Roma with a dilemma. Continuing financial constraints meant that resources had to be used prudently, yet the Giallorossi felt they owed it to Tommasi to see if he could regain his previous form and fitness. The compromise was an offer of a one-year extension on comparable terms.
To their great surprise Tommasi turned the contract down – though not in favour of a better offer elsewhere. He tabled a counter-proposal to Roma: one year at the minimum wage of €1,500 per month. Tommasi was financially secure and what truly mattered to him was a return to playing at the highest level. In addition to his personal battle, he felt consumed with guilt that he had been drawing a wage for the previous 12 months without contributing to the on-field cause. In truth, he had served Roma loyally for almost a decade and owed the club nothing. But this was something he felt he needed to do to restore his honour.
The footballing world reacted with astonishment. It was a move that earned Tommasi respect that transcended the tribal lines of calcio. As a practising Catholic, Tommasi had long been a favourite of the church and he even received a blessing from the Vatican, which publicly praised an “unusual decision … in a world where others earn hundreds of thousands of euros and in which those who already earn millions ask excessive amounts to renew their contracts.”
In October 2005, Tommasi finally donned the Roma shirt again, initially making cameo appearances from the bench against Ascoli, Messina and Juventus. He started his first game against Fiorentina wearing his favoured number 17 shirt; poignantly, 17 months after the devastating injury had occurred.
He would have been forgiven for approaching the match with some trepidation. Indeed, after such a sustained period of rehabilitation, he must have harboured doubts as to whether the knee could still meet the demands of playing at this level. If any such doubts did exist, they weren’t apparent. Tommasi swept into a 50-50 challenge with Tomáš Ujfaluši after just 40 seconds, emerging with both the ball and a free-kick in his favour.
In just the second minute of the game, Roma turned over the ball inside the Fiorentina half and Antonio Cassano broke clear down the right. Towards the bottom of the picture, the distinctive figure of Tommasi can be seen, straining every sinew to get into the box. He arrives just in time, fractionally ahead of Ujfaluši, to steer the ball into the net.
A scene of unbridled joy unfolds. He’s immediately ensconced by a mob of teammates who know exactly what this moment means. Tommasi eventually emerges, the emotion etched upon his face as he gestures towards the stands of the Stadio Olimpico – a tribute to those who had been by his side throughout this arduous journey. Nobody could begrudge him this moment; it was simply meant to be.
From there Tommasi grew in stature, going on to feature in all but two of Roma’s Serie A matches that season. He helped the club reach the last 16 of the UEFA Cup and came agonisingly close to a Coppa Italia winners medal, before the Giallorossi were edged out by Inter in a two-legged final. In Tommasi’s mind, his debt to the club and its supporters had been repaid and redemption achieved.
Finally at peace, he parted ways with Roma that summer, spending two years with Levante in Spain before nomadic spells in England at QPR and China at Tianjin Teda. Tommasi’s physical resilience and mental fortitude must be admired; he hauled himself back from the depths of his injury torment to re-establish himself as a key player at Roma, and then remarkably played on competitively into his mid-30s.
Naturally, Tommasi is still revered in the red and yellow half of Rome. In 2015, he was inducted into the Roma Hall of Fame, which was apt recognition of the service he had given to the club over the course of 350 games and everything else in between. Tommasi gave a characteristically humble acceptance speech: “It’s a great feeling to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but I must say that I don’t feel that I’m on the same level as my fellow members. Standing alongside the greats of Roma’s history feels a bit like spending a day with your heroes.”
But the admiration and respect for Damiano Tommasi is pervasive, extending far beyond one club. He’s a man of substance, a role model, a hero both on and off the pitch, and a truly noble footballer.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey, please:
I am Hardik Patel, CEO of Epsilon Electronics. I Founded Epsilon Electronics when I was just getting started and when people of my age preferred getting handsome salary by working in MNCs, I started the company in 2012 with a vision to provide best design and research work in electronics segment. After continuous effort in line of quality, making access to technology for a commoner, we are currently serving more than 50 customers in product design and research work.
My Journey has been full of challenges considering the industry has no history of innovation and research. I was operating from a city which was far from the ‘metro’ title when I began. This posed great challenge to attract international customers, arranging logistics and supply chain, importing raw materials and finding the right talent for the work.
Please Provide a brief overview of your product & Services?
Incepted in Ahmedabad, Epsilon Electronics is an innovation driven product design and manufacturing company. We are currently serving all major domains like Medical, Transportation Industry, Home Automation, Education, Entertainment among others.

To become competitive globally & next big economy of the world, our country needs electronics design and manufacturing solution and services. Epsilon Electronics is creating that impact on research and innovation worldwide.
How did you find the industry / niche you are in?
During my college days I realised that majority of the industries were trying to solve the problem at software level and hardly anyone paid attention to hardware. The fact that building an electronics system which required extreme dedication for research and knowledge sounded challenging and that’s what attracted me the most. When I started, infrastructure, skilled manpower and policies that promoted research in electronics were quite limited. These hindrances motivated me to start product design and manufacturing firm.
What is Your life Mantra?
We all are here to serve the humanity. Let’s work hard, innovate and create the right path for the future generation.
The most challenging part of your journey till date and how did you Overcome those challenges?
From the beginning of Epsilon Electronics, it has been difficult to find the right candidate that fit our criteria. We were looking for someone with both emotional intelligence as well as field knowledge. To create the right workforce, we started skill building program within the organization.
Other roadblocks that we face are Chinese industries and other low-cost competitors but we have been doing good in beating them.
How are you managing your Life and work during Lockdown caused by COVID 19?
For me, Life has become even easier in lock down because of my family’s availability. Working from home has opened up multiple possibilities for future work culture. Lock down has given a golden opportunity to prepare ourselves with future challenges and reducing human disturbance in nature’s activities.
What is your source of motivation for the day when you wake up?
What new I can do today that I did not accomplish yesterday. When there is nothing new to look forward to next day, it is the end of life.
Money or Emotions, what comes first for you?
Emotions rule the heart, heart wins the happiness and that is the real money for me.
How do you Manage your stress?
I manage my time well by prioritizing and that helps me in stress management as well. I try to link the problems with nature which gives me better insights for the solutions.
What according to you are keys to success?
Explore perpetually, learn and implement in real life.
What habit you think, makes you more productive?
Accepting the challenges and working toward the innovation.
Your business Goals / plans for next 3 years?
I plan on setting up a competitive product design and manufacturing unit and meet the global standards of quality. Also, Increasing the presence of India’s role in Product design and Manufacturing globally.
Share a quote that inspires you the most.
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like, Design is how it works”
– Steve Jobs
Your advice for the Aspiring Entrepreneurs.
Believe in yourself, innovate, accept challenges, work hard and believe in good karma.

The Statue of Liberty is one of America’s most iconic sites, yet it can barely handle the flood of people who visit each year. Now, renowned fashion entrepreneur and immigrant Diane von Furstenberg and The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation are crowdfunding to fix that.
Some 12 million immigrants sailed by the statue on their way to Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954, when it closed. And tourists have flocked to see this hopeful symbol of the United States ever since President Lyndon Johnson declared the statue a national monument in 1965.
Indeed, an estimated 4.4 million people made their way to Liberty Island, the home of the statue, last year. But according to The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 1982, the current informational exhibit at the base of the statue can only accommodate a fraction of those visitors.
Von Furstenberg, who is Belgian-American, has said she feels a connection to the statue because her mother, a Holocaust survivor, often called von Furstenberg “her torch of freedom.” That memory inspired the entrepreneur to accept the foundation’s request to join the board, she said. In October 2016, she was named chair of the foundation’s Statue of Liberty museum campaign, which is spearheading this crowdfunding effort.
[Related: Read about other immigrant entrepreneurs featured on our site.]
“The new 26,000-square-foot museum will create a beautiful, sustainable, new destination on Liberty Island, giving all visitors the ability to explore the statue’s inspiring story without the need for additional advanced reservations or tickets,” the campaign says.
The museum will not just be aesthetically pleasing; built into the design are safety elements to help it withstand floods, hurricane-force winds and other calamities. That’s a good thing, since it will become the home of priceless artifacts — centerpiece among them the statue’s original torch.
Construction on the museum has already begun in collaboration with the National Park Service, thanks to an endowment and previous contributions from donors. The foundation expects to complete the building and open the museum in 2019 — but it needs help to pay for the finishing touches.
The Money: There are 20 days left on the foundation’s Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, which has set a $50,000 goal. As of publication, it had surpassed its goal by nearly $2,000. The money will be used to build out the museum’s interactive galleries and special exhibits.

From One Trail to the Next…
The time between, what to do?
After completing the AT, I’ve had a lot of support from friends & family congratulating me on my thruhike along with the work I’ve been doing. This includes my brother, who was proud of me for finishing the world’s longest pub crawl. I didn’t have a job to come back to and haven’t had a steady paycheck or benefits post trail. Everyday after I wake up, I sit at my computer looking through/sorting the photos I took, figuring out which ones I want to represent the story I’m trying to tell.
It wasn’t easy developing 150 rolls of film nor was it cheap. I’ve put everything I have into my work and proved if I just believe in myself, anything can happen. Some of the film I dreamed would be a masterpiece turned out horrible; meanwhile other shots have surprised me greatly. I can’t describe how it felt to see the images for the first time, but I can say its incredible being able to put them all together. A friend on the trail told me I owe it to my work and myself to treat what I’m doing like a full time job. I’m doing my best to assemble a manuscript for my first coffee table book, titled: “Click, Click! on the Appalachian Trail. ” (releasing sometime in 2016)
The Appalachian Trail is a humbling place that will exploit every single weakness in your mind and body. It takes a considerable amount of grit to walk from Georgia to Maine, and it has been my goal to show that through my work. Some things seem impossible to capture, like what it felt like after a 33 mile day, or hiking 16 miles through non-stop rain. I had to come to terms with accepting whatever happens just adds to the story. Grit seemed to be the word that inspired me on the trail, the word that was stuck in my head as I shot all those rolls of film. Now my greatest challenge is myself, and completing what I started before the next adventure begins.
Next year I have my eyes set out west on the PCT, where I hope to shoot my second book on film. A lot of things will be different and I’m eager to find a new word that inspires me to base my work around. Cutting weight from my pack will allow me to take new lenses and even more film. In the meantime, I look forward to writing more about my time on the AT, and sharing a few stories from the trail here. I hope you enjoy my work and have the chance to check out my website at www.nickclicks.com or follow me on instagram @nicholasreichard

Cherry is another master piece tastefully E liquid by Yeti.
Yeti Cherry e-liquid described as Alaskian Black Cherries. This vape juice is sweet and juicy to taste with a sharp undertone paired by an snow icy menthol kick on the exhale.
Cherry is one of the best and most popular vape flavors. Yeti decided to mix it with taste buds waking up fresh icy menthol. Very fruity and mentholy vaping experience.
Yeti e liquid in Ireland is sold as 100ml of e-liquid in a 120ml shortfill bottle, with space for two 10ml nicotine shots of your choice. So if you add two 10ml, 20mg nic shots will create 120ml of 3mg Yeti e-liquid.

Support your people. — Empower those who work for and with you. Great leaders often use the term “we” and not “me,” so let your employees take credit for their successes and encourage them to learn from their mistakes
As a part of our interview series with prominent medical professionals called “5 Things You Need To Know To Create a Highly Successful Private Practice” I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Daniel R. Gorin.
With over twenty years of experience running his own private practices, Dr. Daniel Gorin, founding partner of The Vascular Care Group and board member of Mangrove Management Partners, is well-versed in what it takes to make a practice successful. For the last eight years, he has been the lead vascular surgeon at The Vascular Care Group’s Hyannis location, one of the first outpatient endovascular care centers in Massachusetts. His center also serves as a key location for The Vascular Care Group, training new staff and serving as a support system for TVCG’s other locations.
Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dive in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your ‘backstory’ and how you ended up where you are?
I have been in practice for over twenty years and have evolved along with vascular surgery as it has grown and changed. I have been lucky to have worked on the forefront of vascular surgery as it transitioned into a minimally invasive specialty that allows us to treat a large portion of our patients in outpatient care facilities. This shift separated me from those I was working with in general surgery whose specialties required them to be hospital employed. As they started to leave, I took over the practice and began wondering why my colleagues in vascular surgery were not taking advantage of the changes in the field and moving into outpatient care facilities like myself. As I built a vein center and an outpatient endovascular suite to accommodate vascular patients outside of the hospital, I did not see others in the New England area follow suit with the same trends that were occurring across the country. Many of these physicians were stuck in their circumstances with too heavy of a lift to make the move. Luckily, I met a group of individuals with similar goals for outpatient vascular care and we formed Mangrove Management Partners. Together, we developed a network of physicians called The Vascular Care Group (TVCG), where I am the executive partner.
With both Mangrove and TVCG, we were ultimately able to build the infrastructure to move talented vascular surgeons into private practice. Not only did this allow us to have more control over the care we were providing to patients but have more control over the way our practices are run. Over the past two years, this change has been successful and has grown TVCG from just me and my practice in Hyannis to a practice of 14 vascular surgeons and multiple other practices across Massachusetts.
I’m a huge fan of mentorship throughout one’s career. None of us are able to achieve success without some help along the way. Who has been your biggest mentor? What was the most valuable lesson you learned from them?
All surgeons are trained through apprenticeships. I did my fellowship under Dr. James Menzoian who was the Chief of Vascular Surgery at Boston University when I was completing my residency. He was a big mentor for how I approach my job from a clinical standpoint.
When most surgeons are learning their craft, they do not get a chance to also learn the business side of surgery. However, I was lucky to have my father as a huge inspiration. He owned one of the largest ophthalmologist practices in Connecticut and as his practice continued to grow, he taught me how to successfully run a business. As I went into private practice, I did not initially open my own, I joined a general surgery practice as a vascular surgeon. My time there gave me the opportunity to observe my senior partners who had far more experience.
What made you want to start your own practice? Can you tell us the story of how you started it?
I was lucky to have built a very successful individual private practice. As that was very rewarding, I wanted to do something bigger in the larger community. I looked at my fellow colleagues in vascular surgery and wondered why they too were not joining or opening their own outpatient clinics. With the goal of building upon my clinic, I joined with a number of talented people to form Mangrove Management Partners and developed The Vascular Care Group into a partnership of respected Massachusetts vascular physicians with four full-service vascular care centers and five satellite offices, from Worcester to Cape Cod. Ever since, TVCG has been expanding and evolving at a rapid pace, providing superior patient care.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you began your career?
A big change in my career occurred when I switched from being an individual private practice doctor to forming The Vascular Care Group, because it meant shifting from everything in the business revolving around me to a group where many other physicians and staff were involved. Instead of just worrying about myself and my own clinic, I became part of a larger network of specialized physicians as well as business professionals. We have transformed vascular care to be better for patients. We provide patients with easy access to patient centered care in their communities.
Because it is a “helping profession”, some healthcare providers struggle with the idea of “monetization.” How do you address the business aspect of running a medical practice? Can you share a story or example?
You have to remember that healthcare is a business. Every hospital is a business; it may be a nonprofit, but it has a fiduciary responsibility. Physicians in a large health system are several steps away from the business side of care, so they don’t feel the same fiduciary responsibility as a physician in private practice.
At one of our vascular conferences, a paper was presented that looked at these very expensive stents that we use to fix abdominal aneurisms. These procedures are done in the hospital and the overwhelming majority of the cost of the procedure comes from the stents. The researchers got doctors involved and looked at the cost of all the different devices and worked out a process to negotiate for lower prices. But this made me think that the best way we could achieve lower prices would be to pay the physicians a little more to do the procedure and have them buy the device themselves.
We have found that when physicians have “skin in the game” and have to research the medical devices they use and the financial investment in those devices, it can help them make the most economically responsible and best decisions for their patients. We, as physicians, need to make these important decisions but we also need to be impacted by these decisions. I think if you divorce yourself from the business end, you are doing no one a favor.
Managing being a provider and a business owner is a constant balancing act. How do you manage both roles?
Being a provider and business owner are one in the same when you run your own private practice. If I do not run a successful practice, I cannot take care of my patients. I am responsible not only for myself but for everyone who works with me at my practice. Therefore, everything I do as a physician generates the revenue that pays for all these moving parts. If I do not make responsible decisions to run a profitable practice, then my nurse or my scheduler cannot do their jobs. As a private practice owner, I am responsible not only for my patients but also for my staff who keep the entire place running. This is a huge responsibility that I take very seriously. There is no way to run a successful private practice as a physician when you separate being a provider and a business owner.
From completing your degree to opening a practice and becoming a business owner, your path was most likely challenging. Can you share a story about one of your greatest struggles? Can you share what you did to overcome it?
When I originally began practicing vascular surgery, it was not identified as a separate specialty. Most of the surgeons I was working with, including myself, were part of a multi-specialty surgical group. As my specialty matured, my colleagues found that their specialties would have a tough time surviving in the private practice model. Many of these surgeons were forced to join hospitals to accommodate their specialties. As they began leaving the practice, I had to navigate how to take over ownership of the bigger practice. As a business owner, I had to put myself in everyone else’s shoes and really understand their stressors and concerns as the practice was growing and changing.
Ok, thank you. Here is the main question of our interview. What are the 5 things you need to know to create a thriving practice, and why? (Please share a story or example for each.)
1.) Work with great people.
When you work with talented and passionate people who align with your own personal and professional goals, you will achieve great things together.
2.) Support your people.
Empower those who work for and with you. Great leaders often use the term “we” and not “me,” so let your employees take credit for their successes and encourage them to learn from their mistakes.
3.) Always grow.
Never sit still or be content with where you are at. Be relentless in finding ways to improve. Successful businesses and practices foster a culture that encourages growth and celebrates change.
4.) Support your colleagues in your medical community.
Support the physicians in your specialty, work alongside them, and be a resource for others to benefit the greater good for patients.
5.) Be a sponge.
You do not know what you do not know. Be ready to learn, visit other practices, and formulate relationships so you can learn from people in other communities who are solving problems in new ways. Join your societies as well. I am a big supporter of the OEIS (Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society), an organization I have been a member and leader of since its early days.
As a business owner you spend most of your time working IN your practice, seeing patients. When and how do you shift to working ON your practice? (Marketing, upgrading systems, growing your practice, etc.) How much time do you spend on the business elements?
When I was a general surgery resident, our chief Dr. Peter Deckers, would always tell us when he saw us outside the operating room “it’s time for scholarship.” By this he meant, although you are not in surgery, find something to do to make your time productive. For me, in addition to my patient care, the business end of my practice is not separate. Whenever I have downtime, I am always trying to make use of it and work on my practice whether it be as simple as sending an email or making a call. My staff jokes that it is a really good idea to keep me busy because if I have a little downtime, I will come up with some project for us to do. You have to be engaged all the time and the business elements must be part of your thinking. This also goes both ways; on days I am not seeing patients, I am still a doctor. I either go to the hospital to see patients or talk with my nurse practitioners about another patient.
I understand that the healthcare industry has unique stresses and hazards that other industries don’t have. What specific practices would you recommend to other healthcare leaders to improve their physical or mental wellness? Can you share a story or example?
It is simply not healthy to center your whole life around your career. Vascular care is my career, so of course I am proud of what I do and am excited by it, but it does not define me as an individual. It is extremely important to have a life outside of my career. For example, singing is a huge passion of mine. For over 25 years, I have been a member of a small acapella group in the Boston area called The Works. We started the group when I was a vascular fellow and it is comprised of phenomenal musicians, all of whom are successful professionals in various fields. None of them are physicians and they do not want to talk about medicine when we are together, so this is truly my time away from my day job. Once a week, I drive to the Boston area, rehearse for a couple of hours with people I consider family, and spend time focusing on music. Unfortunately, the pandemic put a pause on our performances, but we will be at the American Acapella Alliance in Bar Harbor, Maine in May 2022.
It is vital to have hobbies, especially when your job is as demanding as mine is. Music is very important to me, and I make sure to devote time to it as much as possible. Whether your passion lies in music or sports or anything else, I recommend keeping it in your life.
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share a story about how that was relevant in your own life?
I was out to eat with a great friend of mine, fellow vascular surgeon, Dr. Bob Tahara. He practices in rural Pennsylvania and is one of the only vascular surgeons for four hours in any direction. Bob and I met at a course in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was snowing and below freezing, but we made it with our group to a steakhouse. After ordering some wine, the waiter told us about the specials: ribeye steak and a special filet mignon, and both sounded delicious. I turned to Bob and said, “the special sounds great but I really love ribeye.” Bob replied with a quote from the author Robert Heinlein who said, “when given the choice between being a live jackal and a dead lion, I always choose to be a live lion.” He turned to the waiter and said, “I will have the special but with ribeye.”
The life lesson is don’t let other people define your life choices. Be a live lion, make your own choices, and forge your own path.

5 Steps to Help Prevent Suicide
5 Steps to Help Prevent Suicide ~ Ways to help your loved one in their most challenging moment!
Suicide is a serious problem that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 800,000 people die by suicide yearly, making it the 18th leading cause of death worldwide. Suicide is preventable, but it requires a proactive approach. I want to discuss five steps you can take to help prevent suicide.
The first step in preventing suicide is to ask the person if they are considering suicide. This may feel uncomfortable, but it is essential. If you are worried about someone, start by expressing your concern and asking if they are okay. Be direct and ask if they are considering suicide. Many people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts feel relieved when someone asks them about it. It gives them an opportunity to talk about their feelings and can be a first step toward getting help. When you suspect a loved one may be contemplating suicide, it is not the time to be subtle or to withdraw.
If the person says they are experiencing suicidal ideations, stay with them and listen to their feelings. Do not judge or minimize their pain. Let them know that you care about them and want to help. Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to help them find resources. If they are in immediate danger, call emergency services right away.
If the person denies having suicidal thoughts but you are still worried, be persistent. Let them know that you are there for them and encourage them to seek help if they need it.
Remove Access to Dangerous Items
If you know someone who is struggling with suicidal ideations, it is important to remove access to dangerous items such as firearms, medications, and sharp objects. This can help prevent impulsive suicide attempts. If the person lives with you, make sure that these items are stored in a secure location. If they do not live with you, encourage them to remove these items from their home or ask someone they trust to store these items for them.
It is also essential to remove any toxic substances, such as cleaning products or chemicals, from the person's home. If you are unsure what to do or need help, contact a mental health professional, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, or emergency services for guidance.
Get Them Connected
Connecting the person to supportive individuals and resources can help prevent suicide. Encourage them to contact friends, family members, or a mental health professional. If they are uncomfortable talking to someone they know, suggest a helpline or online support group. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 and can provide support and resources.
If the person is willing, offer to accompany them to their first appointment with a mental health professional. This can help alleviate some of their anxiety and provide support.
It is important to note that not all mental health professionals are created equal. Encourage the person to find a therapist or counselor who specializes in treating suicidal ideation and has experience working with individuals who are struggling with suicide.
Help Them Find Resources
There are many resources available for individuals who are struggling with suicidal thoughts. Encourage the person to explore these resources and find the ones that work best for them. Some resources to consider include:
- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
- Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741
- Trevor Project (for LGBTQ+ youth): 1-866-488-7386
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
- American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: https://afsp.org/
After you have talked to the person and helped them find resources, it is important to follow up with them. Check-in with them regularly and ask how they are doing. Let them know that you care about them and are there for them. If they are seeing a mental health professional, ask if they are finding the treatment helpful. Encourage them to continue seeking help if they need it.
If the person is not improving or getting worse, do not hesitate to seek additional help. Contact their mental health professional or emergency services for guidance.
Suicide is a preventable tragedy, but it requires a proactive approach. By following these five steps, you can help prevent suicide and support those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts. Remember to ask, remove access to dangerous items, get them connected, help them find resources, and follow up. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, do not hesitate to ask for help.

When our bodies age, things we take for granted can start to slow down or diminish. Eyes are no different– they are complicated organs that can develop issues and conditions that make life more difficult.
Cataracts, for example, are an extremely common problem among the older segments of the population. Read on for the Vision Gallery’s crash course on the causes and consequences of cataracts.
WHAT ARE… Cataracts?
When a cloud develops in the lens of an eye, it is called a cataract. This clouding limits and can completely obscure a sufferer’s vision. Glare and slanting light can be very difficult for those with cataracts and the condition cannot be reversed. Luckily, there are very effective and convenient treatments with a nearly universal success rate.
The lens of the eye works with the cornea to focus light in on the retina. A clouded lens means the visual input isn’t clear– the brain cannot correct this issue.
WHAT CAUSES… Cataracts?
Aging is the primary cause of cataracts and it is extremely common among the elderly. Trauma, environmental factors and other issues can occasionally create conditions that promote cataracts. As with many eye conditions, genetics plays a role in your vulnerability to cataracts.
Some symptoms of cataracts are:
- Cloudy or blurred vision
- Double vision
- Poor night vision
- Faded or yellowed colour-vision
- Frequent prescription changes
- Difficulty seeing in glare or slanting light
- Occasional falls
- Halos around lights
The only successful treatment is surgical, but it boasts a near-perfect success rate and most cataract sufferers are eligible. The eye surgeon will remove the clouded lens and replace it with an artificial one– resulting in restored and often better vision than before. The operation commonly allows patients to return home in the same day, as long as they don’t drive themselves.
Are you concerned about your risk of developing cataracts? Do you suspect that you already suffer from cataracts? Contact or visit the Vision Gallery today! Our comprehensive eye exams will identify any and all issues you may be experiencing– friendly, expert staff is standing by to address your concerns.

We are a team of seven second grade girls from San Francisco. During first grade, we watched the movie Ryan's Well, about a boy who saved money to build a well in Africa. This movie inspired us to build a well also.
We want to build our well near a school, because we learned that without access to fresh water, education is almost impossible. Kids have to walk many miles, and miss a lot of school, and when they get there, the water isn't even clean. That means kids can get diseases and even die, because the water they are drinking is often polluted.
We want to raise money to build a well so that the kids are able to have fresh water in their own communities, so they don't miss school and are educated. We hope you can help!!

Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world who suffer needlessly without.
Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda, we build long lasting water projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.
Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.

The M1A Carbine was a mainstay of US weapons throughout WWII, and for good cause. Far and away the quietest gun in the game, it is ideal for playing the stealth role and getting about with the least amount of commotion.
Pros and Cons of the M1A Carbine
This is a fantastic weapon, however it is not without flaws. It is clearly superior at closer ranges and has around half the stopping power of the German Karabiner, but it is so simple to manage and shoot that it is difficult not to fall in love with it.
- Rapid firing is simple to regulate.
- Long-range performance is lacking
- The audible range
With an audible range of of 105m, you can virtually get away with murder with the M1A Carbine. They won’t even realize you were there if you use a cunning distraction or twom, not until it’s much too late.
An 8X zoom rounds out a very impressive feature set, however at really long ranges, the weapon falls short of expectations.
Size of a magazine
With a spectacular mag size of 15, the M1A Carbine functions in some ways like an SMG, but with the potential to strike those long-range targets as well with a quality sight.
How can you get the M1A Carbine in Sniper Elite 5?
Completing Mission 5: Festung Guernsey unlocks the M1A carbine.

I've been spending a lot of time at my parents' house on the weekends. It won't be long before I move two states away from home, so I'm trying to soak up as much family time as possible in these waning weeks. As a result, I find myself driving back to my house most Sunday evenings. A local radio station (94.9FM for those in Kansas City) has a weekly Golden Oldies Party (aka hits from the Fifties and early Sixties) that coincides with my weekly drive across the city. I'm a sucker for oldies tunes, especially the early rock'n'roll hits. Last night, the song "Green Onions" by Booker T & The MG's came on the radio. It's got to be one of the greatest instrumentals of all time, not to mention it leads into one of my favorite scenes in The Sandlot ("You play ball like a girl!!!"). If you don't know the song I'm talking about, enjoy it out below.

Boston. A town of quaint cobblestone streets, remnants of colonial America's beginnings at every corner, an air of academia and knowledge practically oozing from every historical plaque you pass. Home to Harvard, Red Sox fans aplenty and some of the country's earliest roots in philosophical writings and world class art, there's no denying, there's plenty to keep you busy when in town. So why haven't I ventured here more often, given it's short train ride from New York City? Honestly, when we were in town a few weeks ago, I couldn't stop asking myself this question. And I also couldn't stop wondering how beautiful the city must be in different seasons, chief among them fall!
In case you're like me and you're looking to rectify your absence from Boston soon, I've put together a concise weekend guide for you — 48 hours in a city that boasts world class culture and fun, an enviable food scene and enough historical intrigue to keep you keen for your next visit. Ready? Let's go!
First things, first, where to stay: The Newbury Boston — a property that’s played a pivotal role in Boston’s hospitality scene since 1927 when it first opened as the Ritz-Carlton and later as The Taj. You all know how much I love spaces with rich history and The Newbury certainly doesn’t disappoint in that department. (Case in point: Former guests include Amelia Earhart, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the Kennedy family and even Shirley Temple for a few weeks.) Timelessly modern — it’s old world luxury for the contemporary traveler, with art in spades, impeccable fine dining and such close proximity to the Boston Public Garden, you’d swear by the view from your room window you were sitting atop a treehouse next to the pond. Their whole staff was so warm and welcoming and truly made us feel like we were coming home each night. I can't wait to return!
- Breakfast at The Street Bar
- Morning and early afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
- Lunch at Saltie Girl
- Late afternoon wandering around the Boston Public Garden (perhaps hop on one of the famed Swan Boats!)
- Walk over to Beacon Hill to admire the Federal-style and Victorian brick homes (be sure to check out Acorn Street!) and swing by Tatte for a late pick-me-up latte
- Dinner and drinks at Contessa, The Newbury's new rooftop terrace restaurant
- Room service at The Newbury to enjoy sunrise over the Boston Public Garden
- Morning walking around Copley Square to explore the Boston Public Library, Trinity Church and Old South Church
- Lunch at Neptune Oyster (near the Paul Revere House!)
- Late afternoon walking around Harvard Campus
- An evening Red Sox game or perhaps a night at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which is restarting their in-person schedule as of September this year!
- Late night dinner and night cap at Yvonne's in Downtown Crossing
Have you been to Boston before? I'd love to hear about your favorite spots!

Creative break! The first last note has faded away. First period of Havarí in Austurstræti in downtown Reykjavik is history. The makers of the creative meeting point for the alternative art scene in Iceland evacuate their home. A hotel will be opened there. But that was not supposed to be with Havarí. „We break to find a new space where is a bigger stage, where artists can work and show their art in a real gallery „, Berglind Häsler said to me in an interview. The Icelander manages this project together with her husband Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson and the friend Baldvin Esra Einarsson. What started as a three-month experiment also with Gogoyoko and the record labels Borgin and Kimi, has developed within a year into a melting pot for musicians, artists, creative people in Iceland. I’m looking forward to the re-opening of Havarí!
