Here's How To Get YouTube Red For FREE (Legally!)
1 November 2016, 12:37 | Updated: 17 July 2017, 12:21
*Provided you live in a country that actually has YouTube Red (sorry UK)
If you live in the US, Australia, New Zealand or any other country where YouTube Red is available (it has not reached the UK yet), then we have a pretty neat tip for you. If you sign up for a YouTube Red membership, the good folks at YouTube will give you a month (or possibly even 60 days, depending on your location) of membership for the grand old price of free. At that point we'd suggest you continue with your membership, cos YouTube is cool, but if that isn't within your budget then you can just cancel the membership before the end of the free month and pay nothing, nothing at all!
To be clear, as long as you cancel the free month before the free trial runs out, you won't have to pay a penny. One month will also give you plenty of time to enjoy YouTube Red exclusive shows like The Amazing Tour Is Not On Fire and Scare PewDiePie.

Our garden features 3 different kinds of flowers and 2 types of sunflowers. Every time we head over to the garden we are amazed at the number of bees the flowers attract. Here are some pictures of our flowers, you will notice in most of the pictures a bee is present.
Blue Cornflowers
Purple Cornflower
Indian Prince Flowers
Lavatera flower
closed sunflower
open sunflower with a bee
The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee . . . gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.

Indistinction is Spirit.
Within System God is Indistinction, which is to say, Spirit, which is Complete. Everything else is the Distinction of Indistinction, that is, Indistinction in Contexts. Indistinction drives the unfolding, the persisting and the collapse of Distinction. Indistinction is Spirit. Distinction is System.

===Thoughts and Letters===
DavidKankiewicz: Andrius,
You asked at the end of your attached message: What is the spirit? That which gives wholeness?
The spirit is what is normally not seen, the connections in the darkness, the now's past, or the realization of how we are so dependent on each other - the 'why' behind statement; love your neighbor (and enemy) as yourself. If it is left unconnected, we all experience the loss of the potential which is everpresent but hidden, we are left without the love that we can find peace in.
The wholeness is both the spirit and the flesh, the forms and their connections.
In the 'unfolding =..= cohering' list, the connections are the spirit perpetual working to unfold Everything's structure into God's will.
BTW, this suggests a slight rearrangement in the last two on the list: Everything's structure = God's will Everything's choice = God's command
Closer semantics, from my view... The reason for this is the subtle difference in 'will' and 'choice'; where the true structure of everything is God's will and everything's truest choice is God's command. In reality, most people do not have the spirit with them, they miss the many connections that make everything possible. I'd even go as far as to say: God's will and command brings forth God's truest Love, in the unfolding between them and in their coherence humans can experience the peace and glory of Love's true nature... Quality/Potental is manifested (coherence) as glory found only in Love.
I think the blindness to reality (seeing the spirit=connections, God=whole, love=want-of-coherence, etc.) comes from our fear of losing it all and the danger inherent in change... The only thing I wanted was to find/create something 'new' and with my single 'want' I had lost the want for anything else; thus I have nothing to lose and can see - since I had already lost everything and am just lost searching for everything's new beginning through every old connection.
Haplessly... They are just words to me, verberated harmonics within an empty mind.......... I hope you can gain something from them!
Regards, David C. Kankiewicz
===What is spirit?===
I've been wondering, What is spirit?
I got a helpful reply from James at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lovingGod/, he directed me to Baker's Theological Dictionary, presumed copyright. So I share my question, and my thoughts, also with our working group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/consideringGod/
The aspect of spirit that I think is core is its "unhinderedness". As Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, "the wind blows wherever it pleases". You can't tell where it comes, and where it goes.
Spirit is also that which is more than the sum of the parts. I think, though, that this is part of it being unhindered. It is that which is free to go beyond the body, or apart from the body.
It dawned on me today that "spirit" is what I mean by "unity of representations", which I have also called "coherence" or "necessity". In particular: - God is the spirit of everything. - Life is the spirit of anything. - Good is the spirit of slack.
For me, "representations" are perspectives which are held from beyond. In the cases above: beyond everything, beyond anything, beyond slack. So if there is a unity of representations, that is quite amazing. It says that it is able to define itself, not merely with regard to itself, (as in the case of structure), but with regard to all that is or might be beyond it. That "unity" is "spirit". And things that have "spirit" are those whose nature is founded beyond itself.
To say that "God is the spirit of everything" is not, I think, a "pantheism". It does not reduce God to everything, but rather, says that God is the foundation for everything that transcends it. It is the coherence of everything, the necessity of everything, which points beyond everything, to the extent that there is or might be anything to point to.
Whereas what I mean by "structure" is that which defines itself. Which is still quite amazing. It involves a "unity of properties" where the properties are perspectives upon itself that can be defined and known by their structural relationships with each other.
Structure is what is possible, spirit is what is necessary. I will think more about the relation between the two. And also about "system". Because "good is the spirit in the system", but also now "good is the spirit of slack". Analogously, "God is spirit" and "God is the spirit of everything". So I want to think of the relationship between system and slack, and between everything as implicit and explicit.
Also, the thought comes up that "spirit", as the unity of representations, helps explain what may be thought to be alive. Consider the moon. It has properties of itself (such as its reflectivity), and representations (such as the sunny portion of the moon). By these thoughts, the moon is "alive" to the extent that there is a unity of its representations, which is to say, it hangs together with regard to the rest of the universe. The moon is, in some sense, not simply a random fleeting collection of molecules. What more is it, then? That is the "spirit" of the moon. That, with regard to everything, it has a coherence, a necessity, it hangs together. And it can do so only by having a life, with all the murkiness of life, regarding boundaries, identity, etc. It is a system with regard to any system that it might find itself within. So I will think more about what is system, and how do they interact?
Older note: AndriusKulikauskas: Here I am thinking of spirit as the inverse of structure, so that {{Everything}} is the structure of {{God}}. Another way to think of spirit is as the {{Unity}} of the {{Representations}} of {{Structure}}. This is I think the human way to think of spirit, but it assumes that the {{Threesome}} is cyclic.

The real truth about vitamin A
This month I want to share a note from Dr. Ben Johnson, the founder and formulator of Osmosis Skincare. Here it is....
"If you asked any professional in the skincare industry they will tell you vitamin A is an essential part of a skincare protocol. This is true, but only for 1 type of vitamin A; stabilized retinaldehyde. There is no proven research showing that retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate ot any other form actually stimulates collagen. Even retinoic acid (Retin A), which stimulates collagen can be difficult on the skin. Retinoic acid had been shown to thin the dermis by 18% after one year of use.
Retinaldehyde is the only research proven vitamin A that stimulates collagen and does not thin the skin!
Osmosis made this powerful age-reversing ingredient liposome delivered so that we can get up to 600% more of it into the skin. Equally as important, Osmosis included additional collagen stimulators to feed the skin and maximize your collagen making potential.
Osmosis vitamin A products are not sun-sensitizing because of the technology they use. Vitamin A serums are a must for everyone!"
I am happy to give you a recommendation for the proper serum for your complexion. Don't deny your skin this key nutrient any longer. Book a free consultation or let's discuss this topic at your next facial appointment.
If you are not using one of Osmosis vitamin A serums yet, you should definitely start tomorrow for all the reasons above!!
Shop at our online store or stop by our skincare studio to pick one up.

Mexico is becoming a middle class society. Even though there is no consensus on what exactly constitutes the middle class, there is no doubt that a significant portion of the Mexican population behaves and perceives itself as one.
There are various indicators that serve as evidence of this transformation: city traffic, types of employment, home sales, the proportion of women in the workforce, the purchase of insurance, movie theaters, and tourism, among others.
This book gathers data and statistics that show how Mexican society has changed in fundamental ways, acquiring a strong sense of property and ownership, as well as the conviction that society has the right to preserve what it has earned with much effort. The implications of this change are immeasurable, and among its consequences is the appearance of a society that values stability and demands more accountability from its authorities.
The rise of the Mexican middle class is the most relevant development of the last decade in the country. Therefore, the consolidation of this sector is perhaps the most important issue on the agenda for the future.

I remember moving into my first apartment. I carefully unpacked all the boxes and started to set up my kitchen. It was exciting to choose where I was going to stack my pots and pans, and where I was going to put my KitchenAid. After everything was set up, though, it was apparent that my kitchen was still very bare.
I had no staples. There wasn't a single spice in my cabinet besides salt and pepper. I hadn't even thought of making sure I had enough spices to get by, and spices are expensive. Getting your collection started can cost a pretty penny.
The good news is that spices are versatile and even expanding your stash a little bit can give you a ton of options when cooking. So here are seven spices you need in your pantry at all times.
1. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of the most versatile tools you can have in your arsenal. It can be used to make cinnamon toast, or added to oatmeal for breakfast. It also lends itself well to curries and other spicy dishes.
It can be added to hot chocolate for a special treat, and a dash of it in your coffee grounds before brewing adds a richness that's unparalleled.
2. Turmeric
This yellow spice has a fairly mild flavor and a bold yellow color. It is versatile and can be used in any number of ways - and turmeric has some amazing health benefits.
From turmeric lattes to sautéed veggies, this one is a keeper as it adds a deep, slightly nutty flavor.
3. Ginger
If you're going to only have a few spices, the key is to find ones that work in many ways. Ginger is another example of that versatility.
It's a great addition to Asian dishes, curries, and even baked goods like cookies.
4. Curry Powder
Similar in color to turmeric, curry powder offers a lot of depth of flavor. It's also a spice that is relatively easy to make on your own if you're feeling adventurous.
Whether you make it or buy it, it does wonderful things to roasted vegetables and goes great in chicken dishes, too.
5. Garlic Powder
Sometimes you don't have fresh garlic. It might not even be something you keep on hand if you don't cook with it a lot. Dried garlic powder offers the punch of garlic flavor with the ease of keeping it in the spice rack. Use it on garlic bread, or in soups and sauces. This is definitely one of the most important spices you need.
6. Chile Powder
Ground chilies open the door to a whole host of tasty foods. It can be the basis for tacos, burritos, and other Tex-Mex fare. There's little this powerful spice can't be used for, and if you like to cook with heat, you need to stock up.
7. Dried Rosemary
This may be a dried herb more than a spice, but either way it's a staple in the kitchen. Dried rosemary can be used to add flavor to roasted potatoes, or roast chicken. It's fragrant and simple, but delicious.

Open House
What a great Open House we had. I hope that everyone left as pumped about our new year as I was. It was wonderful to meet the new sweet kids and families and to see the " oldies" again after the summer. It is amazing how much growing a child does in the summer from three to four years old. Each day ( starting tomorrow – our first day! ) I will blog about our daily adventures. Please check here daily around 2 pm to see what we have been up to. This blog is a great way to connect with your child and talk about what they have learned. Here is the normal conversation without background knowledge. " What did you do today? " Child's response " Play." With this blog your can say " I saw that you cooked something today, what was it? Was it good? What did you do to help make it? I saw you had something new in the block center today, what was it ? Did you go for a walk today? Did you have a special visitor today?" Using this blog you can help me by building on what I am doing at school.
Here are a few pictures from last night.
This old fire truck is getting old. I actually thought earlier in the day about taking it out but then Katelyn and Emeri jumped in and rushed to a fire. When they got there Emeri grabbed the hose and put out the fire and Katelyn got a gas can ( I was worried at first… ) and made sure they truck was filled up with gas. I'll be keeping the fire truck. 🙂
The art center is under the loft. We added the patio lights to it. Hopefully it wont be a QA problem. They dont get too hot. LOTS of learning and creating goes on in this little space.
I moved the dress up area downstairs this year. Did you notice the old phone on the wall? It has a cord and a receiver.
This is Ty, Orrins little brother ( future student ) playing with the cars. I love the way they put them around the stump in a circle. Learning… right under our noses.
I can tell all our parents are going to have a close bond this year and that excites me. As a matter of fact, many of the mommies are having a " coffee and kleenex" party at Cafe on Broadway tomorrow morning.
The MUD KITCHEN. This will be new this year and I will admit I am a little nervous but excited too. I made mud pies when I was little .. therefore, so will they.
As we get into the year I will try to highlight each area and what we learn in those areas.
Everyone get excited tomorrow is our first day !

Office of Public Affairs
October 20, 2011
Employees at JBS Packerland, a beef processing plant in Plainwell, Michigan, voted in favor of union representation on Wednesday in an NLRB-supervised secret ballot election. The tally of ballots found 641 votes in favor of representation by UFCW Local 951 and 160 votes against union representation. There were also 8 void ballots and 27 challenged ballots (mainly of employees whose names did not appear on the eligibility list), which were insufficient in number to effect the final election results.
If no election objections are filed, the union will be certified as the representative of a bargaining unit consisting of approximately 900 employees.
The election was conducted between 5:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday by Craig Sizer, Barbara Kubik, Alex Kassel, and Steve Carlson of the Grand Rapids Resident Office with the assistance of three interpreters to help employees who spoke only Spanish, Burmese, or Vietnamese.

Chronic diseases are responsible for more than 75 percent of the nation's $2.5 trillion in healthcare expenditures, with obesity alone responsible for more than $123 billion. Obese individuals' medical costs are 42% higher per year than normal weight individuals. These rising medical costs are driving employers out of the health benefits market and shifting costs to employees.
While employer wellness programs have increased in recent years, there are few employers who implement programs that are likely to make a meaningful difference in their employees' health. Needed is a customized, integrated, comprehensive, diversified program strongly linked to a firm's business strategy and strongly championed by senior leadership and managers throughout the company. WORK STRONG® can provide this.
Based on the principles of elite-sports performance training, the WORK STRONG® intervention can be delivered in any location, including the worksite. WORK STRONG® elicits a train-the-trainer model to deliver moderate-to-vigorous levels of activity and supports a naturally progressive approach to physical development. The program's nutrition solution employs the science of "within-day" energy balance to ensure proper caloric and nutrient distribution throughout the day.
With a three-phase implementation program, phase I consists of both a business and insurance assessment, as well as a program introduction with on-site demonstrations. Phase II consists of plan design, financial analysis, as well as program logistics. Finally, phase III works on communication strategies as well as implementation. Finally, phase III concludes with the program launch for your company!

Marijke Rowland: Impressive Taylor Swift wears her fame well
You may have heard of this week's subject: Taylor Swift.
In fact, you've probably been inundated with Taylor Swift for quite some time now. At only 24 years old, she is a household name, singing superstar and tabloid mainstay. Heck, even your grandma has heard of Taylor Swift and probably plans to buy you her new CD for Christmas.
In short, she is everywhere. And I say that's a good thing.
While the concept of good role models and bad role models is a tired one with many inherent issues, it's easy to see that Swift is one of the good ones. You could argue this point with intimate minutia about her dating life that you really shouldn't know about in the first place – if you really wanted to. But what I find most impressive about Swift is how she has grown under the unblinking eye of the public spotlight from a prodigiously talented teenager to a confident young woman.
She is a celebrity who enjoys being a celebrity and is, to put it simply, good at it.
Of course, we never know what rich and/or tortured inner lives celebrities really lead. But Swift's publicity game up to this point has been impeccable. While her unendingly perky persona might rub some folks the wrong way (you know who you are, you miserable grouches), you can't argue with her results.
T-Swizzle (as her fans – known as Swifties – call her) manages to seem like an accessible Everygirl while actually being quite the opposite. A professional performer by age 14, a country star by age 16 and now an international superstar who gets us all feeling 22.
Stories of her kindnesses toward her fans and friends have become legend. She stops on a jog to pose in two young girls' photo shoots. She skips the MTV Europe Music Awards to see her little brother perform in a play at Notre Dame, to the delight of a surprised audience and cast. And she invites a Waterford 12-year-old girl and her family into her home with a few hundred other fans hand-picked to hear her new album in advance as part of the "1989" Secret Sessions.
Fans revel in her self-proclaimed dorkiness – as dorky as a nearly 6-foot-tall, blond, impossibly gorgeous superstar can be. Though if you've ever seen her dance in her seat at an awards show, that's more than you might expect. There's even a Tumblr blog dedicated to her awkward dancing. Still, she seems to take it all in stride – along with the often considerably less gracious comments on her past dating life.
Is it really possible for a multimillionaire to be this nice? Who knows, but Swift is sure making it look simple.
Along the way, she also has shown us that our perception of a celebrity can evolve along with the subject. She started out as a teen country singer and has turned into a pop music powerhouse. At 19, she could have become just another pop-culture footnote after Kanye West famously crashed the MTV VMA stage and told her, "Imma let you finish" before going on a rant about how Beyoncé deserved the award.
But instead of becoming a zeitgeist casualty, she gave us the rare opportunity of seeing a young woman come into herself. She has gone from famously not considering herself a feminist to now embracing the term. And she has forged unlikely friendships with everyone from "Girls" creator and star Lena Dunham to teenage Kiwi singing phenom Lorde.
All I know is seven years ago, I interviewed a then-17-year-old singer named Taylor Swift for this paper, as she was about to perform at the Kat Country Listener Appreciation Concert. And she was articulate and charming beyond her years even then. When asked then about going from being a high school student to a country star, she already had a clear concept of her fame:
"(A)t the end of the day, you are not a business transaction; you are nothing more than a person. If you keep people around you who knew you when you were a little kid, they will realize when you are changing. They'll tell you you are being a jerk. You have to realize that you are no different than anyone else, it's just a different kind of job."
And when asked how she felt about sustaining a career well past her teens, Swift was equally levelheaded:
"It is all about your attitude and making the right choices. I think to succeed over a long period of time, you have to not reflect back on the success you have so far. For the second album, I am going to make it like the first album. I am going to put out eight songs I think can be singles, not just three or four. Record companies want you to only put three or four great songs on an album, with the rest filler, so not to waste a single. But I want to put out great songs for people. As long as I am making people as happy as they are making me, I will feel like I've accomplished something."
So, go ahead, tell your grandma to get you something else for the holidays. Because you definitely should already have that new Taylor Swift album.
What? Turns out she is a pretty good singer, too.
Elsewhere around the Scene:
Speaking of music, popular indie record seller Rasputin Music seems set to open a store in Modesto.
Late last month, the Bay Area-based company posted a picture on its Facebook page of the Modesto Arch with the Rasputin logo floating above it accompanied by the words: "Coming Soon." The music store has locations in Berkeley, San Francisco, Fresno and Stockton, among others.
A business license search showed the record store will be at 3250 Dale Road in the same north Modesto shopping center as Trader Joe's. There's no official word yet on when it will open, but – given how few record shops Modesto has now – "coming soon" sounds good to me.

A few days ago, Karin and I completed our respective graduate programs at Iowa State University and moved up to the Jokela farm. After years of dreaming and planning, and after months of consecutive weekend trips to the farm to chip away at projects - farm clean-up, greenhouse construction, packing shed renovation, field preparation, garlic planting - we're finally here for good. And while my to-do list has never been longer, I couldn't be more thrilled to be stepping into this next adventure called farming.
Stay tuned for more updates as we move from winter into spring. It's a lot more fun to write (and for you to read, I presume) about growing plants than about the market development, crop planning, and infrastructure projects that will dominate my next two months.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Paramount Pictures has confirmed a crew member was killed in an "unusual accident" on the New Orleans set of its action flick "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation."
The identity of the person killed was not disclosed.
"Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the [crew member's] family at this time," the film studio said in a statement Wednesday. "The safety of our cast and crew is our top priority and the studio is fully cooperating with all investigating agencies as they examine the circumstances surrounding this unusual accident."
Paramount did not provide details regarding the circumstances of Tuesday's incident, but TMZ quoted unnamed sources as saying the man was fatally injured while working on a high-powered scissor lift when the machine tipped. He had been helping to tear down the set, the entertainment news Web site said.
The film stars Bruce Willis, Dwayne Johnson and Channing Tatum. It is being directed by Jon Chu and is set for a 2012 release. "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation" is a sequel to 2009's "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."

Cardiff are set to be boosted by the return of four first-team regulars as they attempt to pile further pressure on former boss Dave Jones when his Sheffield Wednesday side head to south Wales on Sunday.
Jones' successor Malky Mackay, who has overseen nine successive wins at the Cardiff City Stadium, is likely to have Kevin McNaughton (thigh), Ben Turner (hamstring), Andrew Taylor (calf) and Don Cowie (knee) at his disposal after all four missed the midweek draw at Derby.
The npower Championship leaders will face a Wednesday side who have lost their last five games, scoring just twice, without Craig Noone as the former Brighton winger is suspended having been sent off at Pride Park. On-loan Norwich man Simon Lappin returns after serving his one-match ban.
Meanwhile, Tommy Smith has begun running after his hamstring injury but is a few weeks away from a return while long-serving midfielder Stephen McPhail has moved closer to a first-team comeback after two 90 minute run-outs for the development team.
Sheffield Wednesday will give late fitness tests to Anthony Gardner, Lewis Buxton and Rhys McCabe.
Centre-half Gardner and right-back Buxton were both forced out of the midweek home defeat to Watford with hamstring injuries, while midfielder McCabe was withdrawn due to an ankle problem. All three players are rated very doubtful.
Should Gardner not make it Martin Taylor is likely to step in alongside Miguel Llera at the heart of defence, while Kieran Lee and Joe Mattock provide Jones with options at right-back if Buxton is ruled out.
Jose Semedo is expected to be recalled to the starting line-up in midfield if McCabe is ruled out alongside Chris Lines, who made his first start of the season on Tuesday night following a long-term groin injury.
Striker Mamady Sidibe, on loan from Stoke, is expected to continue up front after making his Owls debut in midweek, with Jay Bothroyd part of a five-man midfield, as the Owls chase their first league win in six matches.

Suite Reveals Risks and Opportunities in Data Centers and Telecom Facilities, and Identifies Actions to Maximize Financial Return on Capacity and Capex
Oakland, CA. (June 22, 2016) Vigilent®, the leading provider of dynamic cooling management systems, today announced a powerful prescriptive analytics suite that enhances thermal management of mission critical facilities. The analytics automatically identify and highlight risks, such as faulty equipment or lack of cooling redundancy, and opportunities like overcooled spaces and hidden capacity. Specific steps are then prescribed that show operators the best path to reduce risks, lower costs and speed time to revenue.
Offered in Reliability, Capacity and Energy modules, Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics leverages Vigilent's predictive technology, which over the past decade has analyzed billions of data points across hundreds of mission critical facilities to predict future outcomes. Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics takes that insight to the next level by recommending actions to reach the most desired future outcome.
The analytics are delivered using a "From Insight to Action" approach that recommends specific steps to address every identified issue. User interfaces are individually tailored for operations executives, site managers, and technicians to provide access to common data while enhancing collaboration and accountability across an organization.
"Data center environments are becoming increasingly dynamic due to virtualized computing, server power variability, and the migration to cloud architectures," said Rhonda Ascierto, research director, data center technologies, 451 Research. "To help avoid service disruption, there needs to be visibility into and control of available cooling in each rack, row, room, and datacenter. Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics provides such insights and gives specific recommendations based on actual operating conditions, allowing managers to more safely and cost-effectively manage their facilities."
"Our customers are telling us that they need to know more than what happened, or what will happen," said Dave Hudson, CEO, Vigilent. "They want to know the specific actions they can take to lower risk, reduce cost and accelerate revenue. Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics does exactly that, and puts managers in the driver's seat."
Benefits delivered by the modules include:
Reliability Assurance
- Identifies actual (versus designed) cooling redundancy
- Pinpoints where there is heightened risk of extreme temperature events
- Discovers subpar cooling units and predicts which ones are most likely to fail
- Prioritizes limited capex to maximize operating performance
- Recommends specific actions that increase reliability
Capacity Optimization
- Identifies actual (versus designed) cooling capacity
- Predicts where extreme weather will cause capacity shortfalls
- Discovers which sites, rooms, rows, and racks can handle additional IT load based on actual capacity and forecasted weather
- Avoids investing capex in unnecessary cooling
- Prescribes how to free up revenue-generating cooling capacity
Energy Efficiency
- Quantifies the expense of business-as-usual, also known as the "cost of inaction"
- Predicts the impact of cooling equipment maintenance and upgrades
- Ensures savings persistence by spotting areas of deterioration
- Identifies which sites or rooms have the greatest efficiency opportunity
- Recommends actions that result in specific levels of energy savings
Vigilent Prescriptive Analytics, available immediately, can be purchased individually or as a bundle. For more information, visit the Prescriptive Analytics page.

You know that moment when you see someone's creative work and you're blown away by how talented they are? Well, dear readers: meet Sami Abdou.
I got to know Sami a little over a year ago when our creative paths crossed and let me tell you: his next-level talent became apparent to me very quickly.
As a director and video genius (trust me, you guys), he has the rare ability to visualize the perfect final product before filming ever begins and then makes it happen. Genius, I tell you.
I've watched him bring some amazing work to life over the last year or so and I'm super excited to introduce him to you all!
Jen: When people ask you what you do for a living, how do you generally respond?
Sami: I generally say that I direct music videos and commercials, but it always seems weird. It's probably because I feel like I tend to do more than that.
J: When did you begin your creative venture?
S: I mean, I've always been creative since I was a kid but I didn't start pursuing film until college. Originally, I wanted to be an actor but saw the lack of control actors had over their careers so I then said, "Screw that" and decided to become a director.
J: Did you work any strange/odd/boring jobs before you started your creative work? If so, what were they?
S: YES! I'm fairly new to doing this full time. Up until recently, I did the typical LA struggling artist thing and bar tended/waited at a long list of restaurants. I hated them but I refused to leave because I hated them. I made a deal with myself that I would never take a full time job for the fear of getting comfortable. Everyday I went to work at these restaurants and went home cursing them. That was really motivating. It made me want to work hard at my creative endeavors so that I wouldn't have to spend another day in a restaurant. And well... it worked.
J: Did anyone ever tell you to "have a back-up plan" or advise you against working in a creative field?
S: No specific person has ever told me that, but I always felt that was the general feeling from society. I've been really fortunate to have a crazy supportive family, especially for being immigrants.
J: What inspires your creativity?
S: Oh man, I could go on forever. I have a thing I like to say about myself and it's basically that I'm a lover of all things good. Anything -- whether it's art, food, architecture, thoughts, acts, etc. -- if it's executed well and with strong intentions, I'll love it. It's those things that inspire me. Also, seeing people happy.
J: Are there parts of your career that provide less income than others? If so, what drives you to continue doing those things?
S: Ha! Most definitely. Sometimes I do really awesome creative stuff I'm proud of with little to no budgets. Other times I do really crappy boring stuff I hope never sees the light of day with nice, solid budgets. And sometimes I do projects that hit that sweet spot. For me, for the most part, practice is practice regardless of the project so even though I may work on something kicking and screaming, in the long run it still benefits me. Except shooting events. I REFUSE to do that kind of stuff. Haha.
J: If you weren't doing what you're currently doing, what would you be doing instead (In other words, have you ever envisioned yourself doing something else for a living)?
S: Teaching. Ultimately that's why I do what I do. I feel like my work is an opportunity to share something, whether it be a story, a lesson, or a piece of information, with the audience. That's ultimately what teachers do so I feel like it would be right up my alley.
J: Are you involved in any events/happenings in your city or on the web that we should know about?
S: Sadly, no. Basically, once I finish a project, I upload it and click "Share." That's about as eventful as it gets. Haha.
If you'd like to learn more about Sami, be sure to visit his portfolio site and check out his work with UpperCloud Media. He's the real deal, my friends!

With Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones getting released around the country this weekend, it's time to post the video interviews I got to do with Jackson and most of the cast. The reason I got to speak with everyone is our partners at Omelete were invited to the international press day and they sent me to cover it. So a big thank you to them for making this happen.
The Lovely Bones is based on the novel by Alice Sebold and it's about a 14-year-old girl named Susie Salmon who is lured into a makeshift underground den in a cornfield and brutally raped and murdered, the latest victim of a serial killer–the man she knew as her neighbor. From heaven, Susie keeps watch over her grieving family and friends, as well as her brazen killer and the sad detective working on her case. The film stars Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli and Saoirse Ronan.
During my interview with Stanley Tucci we talked about his hesitation to take the role of a serial killer, working with Peter Jackson, filming on location, how does he decide to get involved in a project, and a bit on his next film Burlesque. Watch it out after the jump:
Finally, look for more Lovely Bones interviews everyday this week. And to watch some clips from The Lovely Bones, click here.

Firstly, let me start this post by saying that I absolutely love anything that encourages kids to appreciate the arts; whether it be through drawing, painting, colouring, singing, dancing or reading. BIG Kids Magazine does exactly that, with a BIG friendly serve of fun thrown in for good measure.
BIG Kids Magazine is a 60-page bi-annual creative arts magazine for kids that showcases a range of artwork and creative projects from children and adult artists side by side. The name "BIG" is an acronym which stands for Bravery, Imagination, Generosity. The Senior Editor is 8 years old, and is helped along the way by founders, mums and creative directors, Lilly Blue {a visual artist} and Jo Pollitt {a dancer}.
So what do we love about BIG Kids Magazine? Firstly, I had such a fun time reading through the launch copy and it has since made the rounds through my family and friends, giving each reader a giggle and smile along the way. Secondly, inside you'll find games and activities, book reviews, colouring pages, interviews and the star of the show, artwork from creative kids {and grown ups too}. Finally, for every copy sold BIG gives away one copy to children who might not otherwise be able to access it. I LOVE this concept.
You can find BIG Kids Magazine at various retailers for $12.95 per issue, or you can purchase a copy or subscribe online.

Hampshire Ornithological Society and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust are joining forces to try and halt the decline of the Common Nightingale in Hampshire.
The Common Nightingale Luscina meghynchos is widely celebrated in literature and music for the beauty of its song. It is one of the most eagerly anticipated summer migrants and a true sign that the dull and dreary days of winter are behind us and spring has finally sprung. But imagine if future generations were unable to enjoy this beautiful songster and its presence in Hampshire was assigned to history.
The Nightingale is in trouble across the British Isles and has undergone a marked range contraction and overall population decline. The recently published Birds of Conservation Concern 4 identified 67 species as being of the greatest conservation concern; the Nightingale was one of those, and was elevated from the Amber to the Red list after these declines.
In Hampshire, the Nightingale has declined dramatically since the 1950s. At the time of the 1986-9 Atlas, that county population was estimated at 204 – 360 pairs . During the most recent survey, organised by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), the population had dropped to 61 – 65 pairs and their overall range fell by three quarters . Initial indications from 2017 records suggest approximately 25 territories.
To help establish the locations and number of breeding territories of our local Nightingales', we plan to carry out a full survey of all areas of suitable habitat during the 2018 breeding season. Armed with that information we will be hoping to engage with local landowners and encourage them to bring sites back into favourable condition for the Nightingale. This includes creating patches of dense scrub along woodland edges, to provide nesting and feeding opportunities.
To do this we need your help – we are looking for surveyors to help with our surveys. The plan is to carry out surveys using the same methodology as that used by the BTO in 2012. A minimum of two surveys carried out between 21st April and 20th May, covering all tetrads that are known to have supported Nightingales in recent years and have suitable habitat. In addition, we are requesting nocturnal visits, to be carried out between midnight and 02:00, between the 18th May and 4th June, to establish the presence of unpaired males. Given the timing of these nocturnal surveys, I would like to stress, that these are optional.
If you are confident with identifying Nightingale song, and would like to help out with Nightingale surveys in Hampshire in 2018, please contact Trevor Codlin at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust: email@example.com

Tough firewall resists direct attack. Flexible, comprehensive spam filter offers unusual features. Powerful, flexible parental control. Marks dangerous links, Includes credit reporting, 5GB online backup, Do Not Track Me button.
Parental control system lacks remote management, caused system slowdown. Firewall doesn't block exploit attacks. Antiphishing not effective. Some impact on system performance.
Bottom Line
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2013 combines the ZoneAlarm firewall with a pastiche of other security components from many different vendors. The end result isn't as effective as more thoroughly integrated competitors.
Antispam Accuracy
For testing, I left all of the spam filter's settings at their default values. I timed how long it took to download thousands of messages from a real-world email account that gets a ton of spam (as well as valid messages). Downloading 1,000 messages with ZoneAlarm filtering out spam took less than 20 percent longer than downloading mail with no spam filter, which is very good. By comparison, downloading mail with Kaspersky PURE 3.0 Total Security filtering out spam took almost three times as long.
After discarding any mail older than 30 days, I sorted the Inbox into valid personal mail, valid bulk mail, and undeniable spam, discarding all others. I did the same for the spam folder, and for the handful of messages identified as phishing attacks.
ZoneAlarm threw 1.7 percent of valid personal mail into the spam folder. That's not great, but whitelisting PCMag internal email would have almost completely eliminated the problem. While 8.2 percent of undeniable spam slipped past the filter, I could have cut that number way down by blacklisting mail written in languages I don't speak.
Other products have definitely done better in my antispam accuracy test. Norton Internet Security (2013) and Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 managed to avoid mis-filing any valid messages as spam. Norton missed 5.3 percent of the actual spam, while Bitdefender missed 6.8 percent. Feature-wise, though, ZoneAlarm's antispam beats the rest.
For an explanation of my antispam accuracy test, please read How We Test Antispam.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2013 antispam chart
Powerful Parental Control
ZoneAlarm's parental control system is provided by ContentWatch, whose Net Nanny parental control system is a PCMag Editor's Choice. Anyone who's used Net Nanny can easily see that the ZoneAlarm product is the same thing, with different branding. The one Net Nanny feature not included, and it's a significant one, is remote management of the parental control system.
This parental control system is both more flexible and more comprehensive than that offered by almost any other suite. It does more than most, and it does its job the way you want it to. But since many users don't need parental control at all, this component isn't installed until the first time you use it.
On installation, ZoneAlarm automatically configures a Default User profile. All online activity will be tracked and managed under this profile unless you actively log in as the Admin. That may be fine if you just have one child, but most parents will probably want to set up separate child profiles.
When you create a new profile you can base it on one of six age ranges, or on another profile that you've already created. If your kids have their own Windows logon accounts you can associate the profile with an existing logon; if not, kids will need to log in to ZoneAlarm before they can use the Internet.
ZoneAlarm's Web content filter displays a dozen website categories that you might consider inappropriate; you can optionally reveal 23 more categories. For each category you can choose to block access, allow access, or allow access with a warning. Naturally ZoneAlarm can notify parents when a child ignores that warning.
You can also control how the product handles an attempt to access a blocked site. By default it pops up a warning dialog that can include the option to override the block (with a password) or send parents an exception request. However you can also set it to display ZoneAlarm's warning page, a user-selected page, or a "Forbidden" error message.
Where some parental control systems strictly rely on a database that categorizes known sites, ZoneAlarm includes a real-time analysis component. I tested it on a site featuring short stories; it correctly blocked only those stories with lewd content.
As with most parental control tools, ZoneAlarm can define a schedule for when each child is allowed on the Internet, as well as a daily or weekly maximum. The scheduler gets its time information from the Internet, so your child won't be able to fool it by changing the system clock.

Put aside all the good and bad things about hibernate second-level cache, Personal Capital has been using second-level cache for the entities and queries of data that merely change. We had our issues while using it. But once we had these issues behind us, it really performs well for us.
How to enable in Hibernate
There are two types of second-level cache we use. One is entity cache, where hibernate caches loaded data objects on the Session Factory level, crossing user and session boundary, and crossing transaction boundary; Another type is query cache, where SQL query is the cache key and the query result set is the cached value. Whenever there is a same SQL query is submitted through hibernate, hibernate will try to use the cached result set instead of dipping into the database.
To globally set these caching up, just need to define a few hibernate properties. We use JPA, the following properties need to be defined in JPA persistence.xml.
How to enable second-level caching for data objects in application
Hibernate provides a @Cache annotation to enable second-level caching for data objects in application.
This annotation can be used on @Entity class to enable second-level cache on the table level. For example,
@Table(name = "account_type", catalog = "sp_schema")
@Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
public class AccountTypeImpl extends AbstractTableWithDeleteImpl implements AccountType, Serializable
… …
it can also be used on @Column property level to enable
@Table(name = "account", catalog = "sp_schema")
public class AccountImpl extends AbstractTableWithDeleteImpl implements AccountType, Serializable
… …
@Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
public String getAccountDetail()
… …
How to enable second-level caching for query cache in application
Query cache is different from data object cache. To enable query cache, you need to tell that to the query. In JPA query, a cache hint should be set to enable query cache.
|query.setHint("org.hibernate.cacheable", true);
How to configure ehcache for data object second-level cache
When ehcache is used for second-level cache, hibernate tries to work with caches named after the fully qualified names of Domain Objects. Only if there is no matching cache name for a domain object, it tries to cache/retrieve this domain object using defaultCache.
So ehcache's defaultCache should be configured carefully since any @Cache annotated domain objects will be cached in this cache, if no cache is configured using these domain objects' fully qualified names.
All ehcache's cache names can be defined and configured in ehcache.xml. ehcache.xml must be on application's class path. A simple example;
|<ehcache updateCheck="false"><diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir/hibernateCache" /><defaultCache maxElementsInMemory="100″ eternal="false" timeToIdleSeconds="1″ timeToLiveSeconds="1″ overflowToDisk="false" diskPersistent="false" diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="1″ memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU" /><cache name="com.personalcapital.aggregation.data.impl.AccountTypeImpl"
maxEntriesLocalHeap="1000″ eternal="false" timeToIdleSeconds="1200″
timeToLiveSeconds="1200″ overflowToDisk="false"
diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="60″ memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU" />
How to configure ehcache for second-level query cache
For second-level query cache, Hibernate uses caches named as "StandardQueryCache" and "UpdateTimestampsCache" to cache query result sets. If these caches are not configured in ehcache.xml, Hibernate will fall back to use "defaultCache" to cache query result sets, which may not be what is expected.
A note. The full qualified StandardQueryCache names are different in Hibernate 3 and 4. In Hibernate 3, the name is "org.hibernate.cache.StandardQueryCache"; and in Hibernate 4, the name is "org.hibernate.cache.internal.StandardQueryCache". This was one thing had bite us when we were upgrading to Hibernate 4. The following is an example for Hibernate 4 ehcache.xml configuration for query cache.
"UpdateTimestampsCache" is really important too. Here is an excerpt from ehcache online document (http://ehcache.org/documentation/user-guide/hibernate#enable-second-level-cache-and-query-cache-settings), describing what "UpdateTimestampsCache" is: "Tracks the timestamps of the most recent updates to particular tables. It is important that the cache timeout of the underlying cache implementation be set to a higher value than the timeouts of any of the query caches. In fact, it is recommend that the the underlying cache not be configured for expiry at all."
|… …<cache name="org.hibernate.cache.internal.StandardQueryCache" maxEntriesLocalHeap="2000″ eternal="false" timeToIdleSeconds="0″ timeToLiveSeconds="300″ overflowToDisk="false" diskExpiryThreadIntervalSeconds="60″ memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU" /><cache name="org.hibernate.cache.spi.UpdateTimestampsCache" maxEntriesLocalHeap="5000″ eternal="true" />… …
Native Query and Query Cache
Result set of native query can be cached in query cache the same way as result set of regular HQL query, you just need to tell that to the query. In JPA, the same cache hint should be set to enable query cache for native query.
|query.setHint("org.hibernate.cacheable", true);
But there is a drawback to second-level cache when using native query. Because it is not HQL, Hibernate has no idea what data objects are affected by the native query, so it invalidates any cached data objects by default. This behavior usually is not desired. In order to avoid this global invalidation, the data entity is affected by the native query should be indicated before the query execution, so the query will only invalidate data objects of the indicated entity. If nothing is affected by the query and don't want to invalidate anything, any empty query space should be specified.
Some ending words
Again, Hibernate second-level cache can turn into a monster if is not applied carefully in application. Caching strategy should be thought out carefully before applying to application. Otherwise, the application may have all kinds of unexpected behaviors. What are described above only cover the caching strategy we are using, basically it is a simple time-to-live timeout-bound caching. This is good for our seed data that have small data set and don't change frequently.

Happy winter solstice everyone. To mark the shortest day of the year, Sydney decided to turn on some rather windy and chilly weather.
Category: Capsule Wardrobe
This week's Instagram Roundup
I know I've forgotten to do these kind of posts over the last couple of weeks – deadlines at work and having two little ones makes life a little crazy – but I promise I'll try to do this on a regular basis!
Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 2.14: Flared Sleeves and Denim Skirt
Thank you lovely people for your well wishes! I'm feeling a lot better, even if the cold and cough haven't gone away. It was a long weekend in Sydney this weekend and I spent most of it gloriously outfitted in tracksuit pants and wellington boots as my husband and I caught up on household chores that we normally don't get…
Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 2.13: Blue Thursday
It's Day 5 of the flu bug and I'm still feeling crappy. However, thank you to those who have wished me well, you've put a smile to my face 🙂
Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 2.10 and 2.11: This week's work outfits
Another instalment of my work outfits in advance, and this time I think my flu bug has affected my mood and style.
Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 2.9: How I Wore Black Dungarees
I couldn't wait to wear the black dungarees I mentioned in my previous post on my outfit inspirations for this newly acquired item of clothing. Today happened to be the perfect day for it, as it rained for most of the day – to the point that I think Noah is building another ark somewhere.
Capsule Wardrobe Outfits 2.7 and 2.8: This week's work outfits
I don't post about my work outfits as much as I would like, as typically I'm in a rush in the mornings to get to the office and I don't have the time to look for a spot to find good lighting, set up the camera, make sure no-one's looking etc.
Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 2.1: Window Pane Print and Ripped Knees
First winter capsule wardrobe outfit and I think I've already identified a potential casualty.
Capsule Wardrobe Challenge: My 50 item winter capsule wardrobe
I've been planning it for a few weeks now, and what with the cold starting to bite here in Sydney it really is time to get this winter capsule wardrobe started.
#MyStyle: Capsule Wardrobe Outfit 1.55: You've Been Great, Autumn
A simple ensemble for today's capsule wardrobe outfit as a send off for my autumn capsule wardrobe.

Good news on this Friday the 13th – Automelodi has a Bandcamp now, and not only does it have his excellent 2nd full-length album, he also uploaded a single from last year that was previously hard to find. Lendemain acide no2 is fun, dancy and is the newest track available from Automelodi, so you bet I listen to it a lot while I wait for future releases!
Now is a good time to pick up some music by Animal Bodies
It appears that this weekend somebody broke into the vehicle belonging to Animal Bodies and stole their gear. If you've been waffling on buying some of their music, now is a good chance to grab some and help them out while you're at it. You can purchase their music here at their Bandcamp. Below is Sex Power, one of my favourite tracks from their most recent (and very amazing) album.
Moev live show
Moev have announced that they're performing a live show at the Otalith Music Festival this August in Ucluelet, BC. I think their live shows are very few and far between these days, and I myself haven't been able to catch them live before, so I'm beyond excited! I wanted to get the word out there about the show in case any other die hard fans can make it out. The event info is here, and I'll end this post with a clip of what is probably my favourite Moev song ever:
Ghost Twin – Here We Are In The Night
After hearing a couple of tracks from Ghost Twin's debut album last month, I was really excited to hear the rest of their material . Today is the official release of Here We Are In The Night, and I'm having a mini dance party to celebrate!
The opening track 'Chymical Wedding' is spooky synthpop at its best. Beautifully bleak lyrics give this song a really melancholy feel. Karen's powerful vocals are in the spotlight here, perfectly conveying a feeling of yearning and loss.
'Mystic Sabbath' is the ultimate song choice if you need an anthem for your upcoming witches' gathering. It's also a prime example of fantastic dark synthpop. My boyfriend walked by as I was playing this song and said, "This is fun! Is it new Ashbury Heights?" I can definitely hear elements in 'Mystic Sabbath' that are also present in AH and other great synth-based bands that I love. And I love the contrast between Karen and Jaimz's voices here!
The title track of this album sounds sorrowful, yet seductive. I especially enjoy the variety of haunting beep boops in this song! I've been finding myself humming the chorus all day, and consider this another of my favourites from the album.
'The Vulture' is a more downtempo song that showcases Jaimz's powerful, gravelly vocals. In my mind, this is the song you put on when you spot that special someone across the room and must make them yours.
The second half of the album is comprised of remixes. Truth be told, I can be a little iffy on remixes, but these are well done. My favourite is the 'We Are The Night (vvinter rainbovv remix)'. It incorporates some fun witchouse vibes, complete with lots of spooky wooooos.
All in all, I really recommend taking a listen to this release! It's all up on Ghost Twin's Bandcamp page now, and if you like what you hear there's a few different options for purchasing the album. You can buy the digital download only, the CD, or a VHS of the first four tracks synced to their analog visuals. I heard a rumour that there might be a fun easter egg on there for Goths! fans, and their live visuals sound like they're quite something, so that's the option I chose to scoop up. Happy listening!
Ghost Twin
Are you ready for some gothik synthpop from Winnipeg? I know you're intrigued. Karen and Jaimz Asmundson have started a fun dark electronic project called Ghost Twin. I'm loving both of their vocals and, as with most of the music I enjoy, the synth goodness. Right now you can hear the first couple of tracks from their upcoming release on their Bandcamp page, and I'm definitely looking forward to hearing the rest in April!
On a different, but tangentially related note – I've been rooting for these two to get together ever since Jaimz was sobbing about the disturbing lack of black lipstick and Karen was a hot dead goth girl. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please watch Goths! On The Bus! asap.
Flowers & Fire
I shouldn't be surprised to hear of yet another amazing Vancouver post-punk band – after all, this is the city that brings us Spectres, Mode Moderne, and about a hundred other bands I'm kicking myself for forgetting to mention. However, Flowers & Fire (who just released their demo on Bandcamp here a few days ago) have a completely old school sound that is making me VERY excited to see them play live tonight. Definitely check them out if you're feeling nostalgic for great 80s post-punk.
Fake Tears
Just a quick post about a great local band that played a show here in Vancouver last night. Fake Tears are a synthpop duo who play somewhat eerie tunes that are super catchy. They're fun and I'm really enjoying the songs they have up on their Bandcamp page here, and looking forward to future releases from them!

$19.4M bond vote crucial to securing state grant
The Middletown Board of Education has a rare opportunity to receive up to $12.9 million in grant money approved by the N.J. Department of Education and thereby save residents money in connection with critical repairs to our schools.
Middletown schools require $32.3 million in repairs, which includes replacement of roofs on 15 of the 17 schools and repairs to the HVAC systems at five schools.
Through Regular Operating District grants approved by the Department of Education, we can capture up to $12.9 million, or 40 percent, of the cost of these repairs through the state.
These grants, however, are contingent upon the Board of Education securing financing for the remaining 60 percent ($19.4 million).
If the Board of Education is unable to secure its 60 percent share, it will lose the $12.9 million in grants. That money will go to another district, but the need for the work will not go away and the ultimate cost to Middletown taxpayers will far exceed the $32.3 million .
Middletown residents will have the opportunity to vote on Tuesday, between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., to approve a $19.4 million bond referendum. The referendum can pass or fail by a single vote. It is important that residents get out and support our schools and our children.
For more information, please see the district's website, www.middletownk12.org.

Washington state offers solution to homelessness
The featured letter on March 4, "Micro-housing is answer to homeless at Tent City," hit the nail right on the head. I, too, have visited Tent City and I am amazed by the sense of community that the residents have; they watch out for one another.
The Rev. Steve Brigham and a number of his volunteers are the glue that binds this community together.
Relocating the residents throughout the community into small apartments, while well-intentioned, will result in many of them finding themselves out on the street a year from now.
The micro-housing that I have seen in the state of Washington would seem to be a better long-term solution to Lakewood's problems.
No one, least of all the residents, wants to see a new Tent City spring up in a year or two after this initiative fails.
