Ahhh!! So. much. talent. Beautiful work.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks to my darling girl. You're very sweet.Delete
But I may pull this post off my blog. I feel kind of weird now that I posted all that artwork. I wanted to blog about it, because it'll be gone soon and I wanted the boys to have a remembrance of it. But I don't know if I should have shared it with the whole world (or my very small part of the world...the 10 or so non-Pearls who might see this post!).
Wow!!! That is awesome art work.ReplyDelete
It should be preserved.Replies
Thanks! It was fun to do--I truly enjoyed volunteering my time, doing something I loved, for the school.Delete
Don't pull off your post!!! Thank you for sharing, didn't realise you were also talented artistically! Is there anyway to copy the work before it is painted over? Like imprinting it onto a sheet somehow?ReplyDeleteReplies
I was told that the school would have professional pictures taken of the paintings, and then they would find an appropriate place to hang the framed copies.Delete
The killer is that I did a whole lot of other painting for the school, in an area over the gym that was turned into a pre-K; then they painted over that when they moved the pre-K to another building. And ironically, the pre-K is now moving back to that original area over the gym. I had done all these Mother Goose and Winnie the Pooh paintings, and all kinds of animals...oh well!
This is awesome - I had no idea you were such a talented artist! What an awesome way to share your gift :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I did love doing this, because it was for my boys' school. :)Delete

Hutspot – Seersucker shirt
Free shipping on orders above €70 in NL
Delivery in 1-3 working days in NL
Free 14-day returns in NL
- 100% cotton
- Seersucker
- Brandon is 185 cm tall and is wearing a size L
about the seersucker shirt
The seersucker is a breezy classic that will be in style as long as summer itself. Likewise, English picnics, Call Me By Your name and after-work aperitifs on the water. The secret lies in the handsome, square cut and a box-pleated back panel. Therefore, designed to keep air billowing through its dressy, rich cotton that will wash even softer with each summer.
Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary. Today, seersucker is produced by a limited number of manufacturers. It is a low-profit, high-cost item because of its slow weaving speed.
Care instructions:
Washing: Cool gentle machine wash.
Ironing: Low heat iron.
Drying: Do not tumble dry.
Chemical cleaning: Dry clean with care.
No-Nos: Avoid using bleach.

August 30 to September 5 Edition
The Authentic Swing of
Bagger Vance 2
I face the world only as who I am now on my present sojourn. As I attain deeper insights in the mysteries of existence, I feel more humbled by the powers of the universe that govern our lives, even before our first cry and even beyond our last.
"Each of us possesses, inside ourselves, one true Authentic Swing that is ours alone," says Bagger Vance. Our task is "simply to chip away all that is inauthentic." And "The search for the Authentic Swing is a parallel to the search for the Self."
A player must understand the three stages and its unifying principle, surrender: "Surrender of the Little Mind to the Big Mind, surrender of the personal ego to the greater wisdom of the Self."
Who Is Bagger?
I care finding my place in this world, and I care about my fellow men, even if it at times I'm assailed by cynicism about humanity. Then I realize that sometimes I care too much that I lose that crucial sense of detachment. A lot of times I seemed to have lost my connection to the Source of All That Is, and I drift away at the mercy of the tides. Yet it's there all along; I was just too blinded by my runaway emotions.
Bagger Vance inspires me to once again stand outside myself. When the town leaders came to ask Junah to play, Bagger "withdrew unobtrusively to a corner, where he took up a solemn post and stood absolutely still, observing with an utterly detached calm, saying nothing." In everything he does, he has "that same poise and gravity radiating from him so powerfully."
But who is Bagger? "Whatever Vance is, he will never harm you," Junah tells Hardy, the young narrator. "In fact, I'll make you a promise: as long as he stands beside you, no harm can come to you from any quarter."
Without Attachment.
"Who are you, Junah?" Bagger would later ask. "Who, in your deepest parts, when all that is inauthentic has been stripped away?" Bagger is relentless. "All your 'selves' are exhausted and gone. Now, hit the ball with what is left!"
Junah is protesting, on the verge of desperation. "But there's nothing left!"
Bagger nods. "Exactly."
Life is about action, like what Krishna, in his guise as a charioteer, tells Arjuna in the midst of another battle. "Act, Junah, but act without attachment, as the earth does, as I do," says Bagger. "The rain falls, with no thought of watering the land. The clouds roll, not seeking to bring shade. They simply do. And we must too."
A Thousand Years
The most precious lessons I learned taught me that, after all is said and done, life is beautiful. At the same time, it is as fragile as the gossamer wings of a butterfly. I would stand on the shore, knowing that the sea were once land. I think about the people who had lived there. Someday, the ground I'm standing on will sink again. Then, new lands will emerge. I wonder if, a thousand years from now, the people of these new lands will gaze at the sea and think of us.
Krewe Island faces the ocean, where another battle has been fought a long time ago. "In the days when the austral constellations hung visible in this Northern Sky, before the Great Ice retreated to the pole, this ocean we call Atlantic withdrew as far as the Arctic shore and gave birth to a brilliant continent, a land called Mu," says Bagger. "Its people were mighty warriors, artists and magicians whose knowledge of the subtle powers far surpasses anything our so-called moderns possess today."
How did Bagger know this?
"I was there."

"Moving 'Viewpoints' to our own dedicated gallery space is a milestone for Studio Montclair, and is an important step forward in our mission to create a greater presence and role for the visual arts in the community," states Gallery Director and founding member Virginia S. Block.
This year's show features 62 works selected from more than 800 that were submitted. According to juror Gary Garrido Schneider, "The artists in the show bring to bear a unique ability to see the world in unexpected ways and to reflect it back at us in ways that help us understand it anew. They notice moments, perspectives and concerns that often go overlooked by others. Artists commit themselves to the process of mining, trusting, and following their interests. This exhibition celebrates those varied artistic approaches and the resulting vibrant visual conversations they generate."

The Importance of Winterization
As winter approaches, temperatures continue to drop slowly towards freezing weather. It is the time of year to plan sprinkler and irrigation system winterization. In fact, in order to keep your system from freezing it is essential that you have sprinkler and irrigation system repairs done as soon as possible. In addition, you can save money and time with a few tips on irrigation and sprinkler system winterization.
When it comes to protecting your lawn, it is extremely important to winterize your irrigation system. In reality, your sprinklers are the means of support for your lawn. The irrigation system provides your lawn with water when it needs it and helps it stay green and healthy. In addition, the system is also an investment that can be rather expensive. Keeping them in top shape will save you money and time.
Winterization of your sprinkler and irrigation system will prevent damage to the pipes and sprinkler heads when temperatures get cold. In actuality, when temperatures go below freezing, any water left in the lines will freeze up and cause damage. First the water freezes then expends. The frozen water then causes the sprinkler heads and pipes to burst. Unfortunately, when a sprinkler system is damaged, the cost and time to fix it can be rather large.
The Best Time to Winterize
It is best to weatherize your sprinkler system in the middle or end of fall. In addition, it is ideal time to contact a sprinkler and irrigation specialist is the first part of fall in order to guarantee service. Generally, the majority of people have their system serviced between October first and the end of November. The main thing is to have sprinkler and irrigation system repairs and service done before the first hard freeze. A hard freeze is when temperatures reach below 28°F (2.3°C). The first hard freeze depends on geographical location. For instance, the average first hard freeze in Portland Oregon is November 21st to November 30th.
Keeping Your Pipes from Freezing
Since it's impossible to predict the weather, it is best to protect your sprinkler system from an early freeze. Don't stress if temperatures are expected to drop below freezing before you can schedule a sprinkler system winterization. First, locate any exposed pipes and then wrap the pipes in towels, blankets or anything to give them insulation. This should protect your pipes long enough to schedule sprinkler or irrigation system winterization.
Contact a Professional
The importance of sprinkler and irrigation system winterization cannot be overemphasized. Contact a professional this fall to help protect your system and investment. At Bend Sprinkler & Irrigation, we have the right equipment and expertise to get the job done right the first time. Our fall irrigation and sprinkler system winterization service will save you time and protect your pipes from freezing. In fact, we are renowned for our high standards and knowledge in sprinkler and irrigation system repairs and quality service. Protect your sprinkler system and contact the professionals at Bend Sprinkler & Irrigation.

That's some seriously funky playing. If this were your first time hearing it, you wouldn't be surprised if Curtis Mayfield started singing, or perhaps (after 12 minutes) Isaac Hayes.

A pop up will appear displaying your profile settings:

- Name - this is displayed to your fellow agents in the agent interface; by default it will be used in email messages to users and on the web portal.

- Language - set your preferred language. For some languages, this will change the language of the agent interface, provided your admins have installed the correct language pack.
- Picture - depending on your permissions, you may be able to upload a picture to represent you. This will be displayed both in the agent/admin interface and on the user portal. You can change your picture by uploading a new one at any time.

- Tickets - you can change the behavior of the agent interface for replying to tickets here. The options are:
- Automatically close ticket tabs when replying/adding a note - this closes the ticket as soon as you reply to it or write a note (see Replying to a ticket) to fellow agents.

- Automatically load the next ticket in the list after replying means that if you reply to a ticket and Automatically close ticket tabs is enabled, the next ticket in the list pane will automatically open; enabling this is useful if you often have to work through a list of tickets in order.
- Chat - you can choose to immediately dismiss a notification that a user has requested a Chat session when another agent answers
- Default team - Agent Teams are a way to assign tickets to groups of agents. When you start to automate the helpdesk, some automatic processes will assign a ticket to your default team. If you are a member of more than one team, you should set this to be your main or most important team.

- Setup device token - you can use this QR code to log into the helpdesk.
You can create a rich text signature that's automatically displayed at the bottom of your messages when you reply to a ticket. You should include a sign off and your name so that you don't have to type them every time you reply to a user.
If you have enabled an override name, remember to use the same name in your signature.
The button enables you to insert an image into the body of the signature. You can either Upload an image file from your desktop, or select Link to provide the web address of an image file. If you use a web address, make sure it's on a site your organization controls.
The button enables you to insert a clickable web link or email address into your signature. See the section Replying to a ticket for details.
Notification preferences
These settings control what notifications you get about helpdesk events. Your admins may not have given you permission to change your notifications.
There are two main kinds of notifications that Deskpro can send: email notifications (which are simply emails sent to your Deskpro account address) and browser notifications.
Browser notifications are shown in the notification tray to the right of the toolbar. The tab icon in your browser will also display the number of notifications and will flash when you have a new notification. You'll only see browser notifications if you're logged in to the agent interface.
If you've enabled desktop notifications, when you receive a browser notification you will also get a pop-up alert on your computer desktop. The exact appearance will vary depending on your operating system.
There are two notifications tabs:
- Ticket Notifications - set email and browser notifications about ticket events and @mentions (see Replying to a ticket details about @mentions). Note that you can set different notification options for tickets that match certain filters.
- Notifications - set what notifications you want to receive about non-ticket events: chats, tasks, feedback, publish content (new feedback and comments), CRM (new user registration). You can also opt to receive an email every time your account is logged into or there's a failed login attempt.
Macro preferences
From here you can create Macros to automatically perform sequences of actions. You can either create personal macros that only you can use, or shared macros that everyone can access. If other agents have to do the same task that you've written a macro for, consider making it shared, to save them having to come up with their own version.
Your Admins can see everyone's macros, so contact them if you need help making a macro work.
Note that you can't run a macro if you don't have permissions to do all the actions it includes. If you run a macro and don't have the right permissions, you will receive a pop-up warning. Speak to your Admin to resolve this issue.
Filter preferences
This shows your Custom filters. You can create filters here or from the filter pane of the Tickets app.
You can hide custom filters from here if you don't want to see them in the filter pane.
SLA preferences
This option lets you control which SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you see in the Ticket app. If there are SLAs which are not relevant to you, you can choose not to see when tickets are warning or failing because of them.
You can hide SLAs just as you can with filters. You can also choose whether to show all the tickets for a certain SLA, or just those that are assigned to you or to your one of your teams.

Image and Monobook site look created by ILHI
In Brief
The TimeSplitters Wiki is a wiki that anyone can edit. It is a wiki dedicated to the TimeSplitters Series and related.
Created on the 28th of April 2006 by Elite Yoshi, the main aims of the Wiki are to provide a wiki based on all TimeSplitters knowledge and to provide extensive information of the series.
The wiki moved to Wikia in February 2008. See the FAQ for information.
It is unknown why Elite Yoshi decided to start the wiki, however if he had not then the site would not have been discovered and developed further. The original wiki was very basic, lacked formatting and looked unprofessional. Regardless, at the time the founder and one or two other users had laid down the basics.
Nearly 3 months after being created (records show July 24th 2006), Xylaquin found the wiki after searching for a timesplitters wiki on the internet. He had in the past had a website of his own which displayed large quantaties of information, yet due to server errors it was lost, the website was not a wiki however. The next website similar to Xylaquin's first attempt at an ultimate TimeSplitters resource was "The TimeSplitters Wiki Database", a first attempt at a TimeSplitters wiki; but it was largely different in that it ran different software and only contained less than 20 pages before being given up on.
In finding Elite Yoshi's wiki, Xylaquin set about 'the first revolution', with a new-found productiveness and will to create the best information source for TimeSplitters in the world, the wiki was largely formatted and content gradually came in. This lasted for a few months untill the basics of all pages, Characters, Maps, Weapons etc were all done- all that was left was the gritty specifics.
Unfortunately the productiveness began to wear-off once the wiki had got to this stage and progress was much slower. This was the case for a long time, but progress was made nonetheless and by this time Elite Yoshi the founder was inactive and had not logged in for a long time, and so Xylaquin assumed the de facto title of Head Admin.
'The Second Revolution' came with the beginning of ILHI's registration on June 9th 2007. ILHI gradually became more active, then soon shot up to a productiveness level that echoed Xylaquin's past. The articles were now gaining more content, coupled with the professional look set down by Xylaquin and the time the site had been online: more users were editting.
On 1st February 2008, a member of staff at Wikia invited the administrators of the original wiki to be hosted on their wiki farm, as opposed to the original editthis farm. This marked some significant changes, however once the wiki was transferred the admins began tweaking the wiki to suit the new surroundings. Along with this, the Wikia staff pointed out that the original logo we used was breaching copyright; Our original logo was the Wikipedia logo with TimeSplitters characters standing/fighting/posing on it, created by Drksnpr14. A while after the transfer, Xylaquin handed the de facto title of Head Admin to ILHI in terms of ILHI taking Xylaquin's place as main editor in terms of admin and pages.
Finally, what might be considered 'The Third Revolution' is currently underway with the new look/features of the wiki being implemented, however what defines this 'revolution' is best left till the future. The TimeSplitters Wiki is indeed the largest and arguably the best source of information all-in-one site for the complete series, with a considerable place in the community and a firm foot set towards it's ultimate goal.

I was cleaning out my garage the other day and as I was sweeping up an assortment of nails, dust particles, grass clippings, and chunks of garbage (in all shapes and sizes), I spied something amidst the debris that had some value. By "some" I mean "very little," about a penny's worth of value to be exact. Well, to be very precise—it was a penny. As I swept the wreckage from my garage floor into my large (garage worthy) dust pan, I reached into the dusty mess to pull out a single penny.
What do you do in a situation like that? Perhaps Benjamin Franklin's famous axiom passes through your head: "A penny saved is a penny earned." Not so with me. I must confess that on more than one occasion as I've swept out my garage, I have let random pennies experience the same fate as a chunk of cardboard or busted plastic pen caps: the trash can.
I don't often make a habit of literally throwing away money. But to this day, I've probably let around 9 cents slip into garbage cans by way of my over-sized dust pan. I'm not proud of it. But let's be honest—it's just a penny. What kind of a difference is a single penny going to make in our lives? Can something so small and insignificant really affect anything?
A couple thousand years ago the value of a penny was more than it is today. It was still small and arguably insignificant, but it held some value, particularly if you were poor. For some it held great value, like the unnamed widow in Mark 12:41-44. For this particular woman, a single penny was the sum total of her net worth. It was "all she had to live on." I have wondered often what was going through her mind as she made her way to the temple treasury that day, intent on giving to God her two smaller copper coins that together equaled the value of a single penny. What was it like for this woman as she arrived at the offering box, flanked on either side by wealthy people giving large sums, likely accompanied by onlookers who stood in awe of their great donations?
I wonder if she was she thinking things like:
"Wow, this donation is worth a lot more to me than it is to this offering box?"
"What difference is my offering going to make?"
"With so many others giving so much, why don't I just keep this penny for myself?"
"How is what I'm about to give going to make any difference in the world?"
"How is history going to be affected by my meager, insignificant, pointless offering?"
There is really no way to know this, but I would wager that she wasn't thinking any of those things. I would venture to say she was thinking something like, "I love you God, and I trust you." This is exactly what her actions revealed. Not intimidated or deterred by those around her, the widow stepped up to the offering box and dropped in the sum total of her livelihood in worship of her God.
Did anyone notice?
God did.
What would have been going through the mind of that widow had she realized that her seemingly insignificant offering was being witnessed by God in the flesh, Jesus Christ? And that he would call his disciples together and point to her example as a posture of worship to be imitated by all who follow Him. And that for more than two-thousand years, her example of sacrificial giving would be recognized, taught on, and emulated by countless millions of God-worshippers around the world.
This widow understood that worshipping God through giving is not a matter of the gift you give, but it is a matter of the sacrifice you make. Giving that honors God is about sacrifice. The foundation of God's kingdom is built on sacrifice, as Jesus himself sacrificed everything to bring God's children to him.
That is a lot of mileage out of a single penny. I think in a culture where we are saturated with largesse, we can often miss the value of a penny. I don't know about you, but the next time I'm sweeping out the garage I'm going to save the penny. If for no other reason, the penny will remind me of the widow, and the widow will point me to Jesus.

Created by Robert Heugel of Anvil in Houston, TX and featured in the book "The American Cocktail". This drink was a tribute to the original recipe of Dr. Pepper that was bottled in Dublin, TX and to Luis Scola who played for the Houston Rockets at the time. Not long after this recipe was published, Dublin Dr. Pepper went out of production due to a trademark dispute and Luis Scola was traded by the Rockets. Oh well... The drink is still tasty just the same. Use Dr. Pepper made with real sugar if you can.
In a rocks glass, add bitters and Orange peel and muddle gently. Add Fernet, Rum and a large ice cube and stir a couple times. Top with Dr. Pepper and garnish with a Luxardo cherry on a cocktail pick. (I like this drink with close to 2 ounces of Dr. Pepper, but the published recipe had up to 4 ounces listed.) Eat the cherry first then enjoy the drink. Cheers!

Nifty spoon
This spoon is a great size and the head comes off for easy cleaning. I gave one star less because the wooden handle isn't the best in my opinion, I'd be worried to let it soak in water or go in a dishwasher.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Got one of these about 2 years ago and looks same as first day. I use this to scrape every last bit of sauce up. Great tool for baking to mix ingredients fast and well, also smoothes icing on cakes well. When using it to stirfry you always get those little pieces before they burn. The best part is no more scratches on pots and pans from hubby and kids now that they use this tool. Love it!

The first step to getting rich is having a stable source of income, and for most of us that means getting a job. Fortunately the internet is there to make things easier. Several online platforms have made it easier to connect job seekers with employers, and one of them is Kalibrr.
It might not be as big as its competitors, nor does it advertise jobs outside beyond Philippines, but those interested in working for start‑ups or government might find it the good place to start. Job seekers who dislike being bombarded by the same five or so job recommendations from the same BPO company every time they try to search for their dream job might also find this platform refreshing.
"We're a start‑up, that's why we have a sweet spot for them," Kalibrr customer success manager Faye Castillo told SparkUp during a recruiter training session at their cozy Makati office on May 23.
While SparkUp did not unearth the secrets to their algorithm—which automatically sorts through the data posted by both job seeker and job poster in order to connect them with each other—we did find out about what you have to do to get companies to notice you.
While the website allows you to upload a file of your resumé, whether it's in text or pdf format, its contents will not be analyzed by Kalibrr's algorithm. That's why it's best to have everything written on your job seeker profile along with your uploaded resumé. Among the filters available to recruiters when browsing through the myriad of resumés in the site are skills, job level, work experience, and educational attainment.
"If you uploaded a resumé as a pdf, we won't be able to search that on your Kalibrr profile," explained Ms. Castillo. "That's why we encourage all job seekers to post everything on their resumé on their profile."
Kalibrr's most special feature is its built‑in online assessment tests (because tests don't end after you graduate). Standardized tests are often a part of the assessment process in job applications and Kalibrr has online tests on different skills such as mastery of the English language and arithmetic on the site, which could give you the extra edge, proving that you are indeed as skilled as you say on your resumé.
"Kalibrr has built in assessments so when someone says in their profile that they have amazing communication skills or very good at this or that, you can take an assessment so that you can prove even before you go to the interview that you actually have that skill," Ms. Castillo said. "At the same time, recruiters can filter people according to their scores so they can get the cream of the crop."
There are times when you get points for showing up, and this is one of them. Recruiters want to know that you're on the market for a new job because why invite to an interview someone who isn't interested? For most job search sites, activity is as easy as logging in every once in a while.
Sometimes job postings are too good to be true. Sometimes job postings are too vague to seem real. That's why it's important to research the company where you want to apply. Most platforms would have measures to prevent phony businesses from posting job ads, but it's still important to practice due diligence when it comes to whom you plan to send your personal data.
School's out, or it's just about to start depending on your academic calendar. But whether you're a fresh grad or a not‑so‑fresh grad, we wish you luck in finding the job that's right for you.

There are at least a few ways to implement compression and bundling in an ASP.NET MVC application. We decided not to include a ScriptRegistrar and StyleSheetRegistrar in Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC because they would not provide such a great benefit over the built-in web server compression or ASP.NET 4.5 bundling. Perhaps OnDocumentReady is one of the few advantages. However you can easily implement the same with either content placeholders (in WebForms views ) or sections (in Razor views).
As Vesselin said you may continue using the StyleSheet/ScriptRegistrar from Telerik Extensions for ASP.NET MVC as long as you want.
I would like to point out that ASP.NET bundling is not an ASP.NET MVC 4 feature - it is part of ASP.NET 4.5. As such you can continue using ASP.NET MVC 3 and just change the .NET version in order to benefit from the built-in bundling.

There's a new PSVR platformer on the way, but Anyone's Diary looks very different to Astro Bot and Moss.
Set to release later this month, Anyone's Diary is developed by Spanish studio World Domination Project. It was born out of PlayStation's game development camp, much like upcoming PSVR stealth game, Echoes. Check it out in the trailer below.
In the game, you control an avatar that represents, as the name suggests, anyone. You work your way through the day, dealing with supernatural issues that take the place of fears and anxieties we all experience. Judging by the trailer, that includes encounters with your boss and more. It escalates into a battle with your demons, that take on a very literal form in the world around you.
You play with the PlayStation Move controllers and solve puzzles like rearranging obstacles in order to progress. We're particular fans of the game's sketchy art style. It was nominated for Best Art, Best Game for the Press and Best Use of Platforms at the 2017 PlayStation Talent awards.
This looks like it could be an interesting psychological game. VR has tried to tackle difficult issues such as these in the past with games like Anamorphine, though it's yet to really get it right. Anyone's Diary, with its template art style and unique puzzles, looks like it could have something to say.
Look for the game to launch on the Spanish PlayStation Store on 31st January. World Domination Project has set the price at €12.99. We don't know if it'll be coming to other regions too at this point but we'll keep an eye out.

Austin is so passionate and driven for not only his work, but for his clients goals and results. Love that he's so encouraging and motivating to get the best out of me. He's what every Trainer should be. I recommend him to everyone that wants real results and motivation !
Awesome personal trainer! He is very motivational and uplifting.. I was skeptical that he was only knowledgeable about losing weight and cutting, as my intention was to gain and cut, but he really pushed me to obtain my goals.. I gained 30lbs that i wanted and feel healthier than ever! Thank you Austin!!! Sincerely..
He knows his stuff. Patient and kind but shows tough love. He really cares about your progress.
Austin is very knowledgeable in this field. He knows how to bring the best out of you. He helped to get back in shape after being out for so long. Looking forward to more sessions with him. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer!
Austin is a great trainer, he listens to his client's needs and pays attention to form detail. With this trainer I was able to achieve my weight goal in 5 months. He is very supportive and personable!
Austin help me after my open heart triple-pass surgery . He worked with the energy I had and advanced my process to my comfort. He was very patient with me.
First off I would like to Thank Mr. Davis for helping me get into shape. Wonderful experience! Very knowledgeable of what I am looking for. Great routine , diet plan , and the most important is that he listens to what you want and guides you through the process! Truly recommend going to see him it will be a great workout but at the same time you'll have fun. Thank You Mr. Davis and looking forward in seeing you this week.
Austin is exactly the trainer I was looking for, pushes you super hard, knows his stuff, and has some great exercise ideas. But above all, he's really taking a thorough approach to training from weekly workout programs to nutrition advice, as well as constant messaging to make sure I'm on track and working as hard during the week as I am working with him during the week end. He wants to make sure his training is beneficial on the long term rather than just having a short term impact (still making sure you are beach ready!). Can only recommend him!
Austin is great at motivating and pushing me to succeed. I'm new to personal training and am extremely happy I chose him as my trainer. He mixes in fun with hard work and makes the whole process fun and a joy for me. In the past, it was impossible for me to get motivated to go to the gym, but with Austin, I look forward each time and I know I'm in good hands to reach my goals!
Austin has a great personality and sense of how to make sure you work out every muscle! He also gets you comfortable with different types of sessions, we did boxing and both outdoor and gym sessions. I appreciated how flexible he was with timing and scheduling since my schedule changes so quickly. Great!
Unfortunately, I was struggling with my weight since I was a kid. I made some progress on my own and dropped 40lbs back in 2016. I was stuck at 228lbs for about six months, and couldn't figure out how to keep losing. I was intimidated at first but I gathered the courage to approach Austin, who at the time was training a client at my gym. Fast forward this was the best decision I made in my entire life. Austin figured out the combination of cardio, resistance training, and diet that worked for me. Today I am a whopping 195lbs of muscle. Now, my wife calls me "Slim Sexy" instead of Big Sexy, which I think will never get old lol. Thank you Austin for motivating me everyday to stay on top of my health. You have been a blessing to me and my family.
Get new clients. Change lives.

Setting: The best platform
Six of the seven race weekends in the 2017 Audi Sport TT Cup are held as part of the supporting program of the DTM – the most popular motorsport platform in Germany and one of the most prestigious racing series worldwide.
The three leading German premium manufacturers – Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz – are involved in the DTM. More than 68,000 spectators on average attended the races in the 2016 season. The DTM can be seen worldwide live or in replay, and in Germany by the public broadcaster ARD.
The heart of the DTM beats in Germany, with venues including Hockenheim, the Norisring and the Nürburgring. The series is internationally renowned with the fans and media as well. 2017 will see drivers from 10 nations on the grid. In addition to five race weekends in Germany, there will be rounds in Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands and Russia.
Audi has been involved in the DTM with a factory-backed commitment since 2004 and since then has been the DTM champion six times: Mattias Ekström (2004 and 2007), Timo Scheider (2008 and 2009), Martin Tomczyk (2011) and Mike Rockenfeller (2013) clinched the title. Having scored three consecutive championship titles in 2007, 2008 and 2009, Audi is also the first and so far only manufacturer in the DTM to have achieved a title hat-trick.
The Audi Sport TT Cup allows young racers to enter this platform. Those in charge within the DTM take notice of them, whilst the juniors from Audi's one-make cup share press dates, VIP events and autograph sessions with the DTM stars time and again. The appearance in front of a large audience is a special experience for the Audi Sport TT Cup drivers. Hardly any other entry-level one-make cup is contested on such a high-profile racing stage.

So, I was originally diagnosed in 2010 following an attach of ON in my left eye. My sight in that eye has got progressively worse, and in the 6 months since my last eye test there's been a big deterioration again. I'm not sure what I should do in this case – should I go back and get another eye test (is there any point in this considering the fact I think it's the nerve which is causing the problems rather than the lense, although I don't know this for sure), should I go to the MS nurse (I have my annual appointment to see the neuro in September) or should I go to a GP to explain the eye problem and hope he might direct me to an ophthalmologist? Or none of the above?

Service Enhancement
Customer service is at the core of hospitality businesses and achieving excellence in this area requires careful evaluation, planning and execution. Service enhancements not only have a direct impact on your top and bottom line but also build a company's brand, reputation, and credibility. Although this seems straight forward, this area is often overlooked, and this can have a detrimental and often unforgiving impact on your business.
Our experienced consultants work together with your team to identify and implement service enhancements that strengthen the guest experience associated with your brand. We have worked with global brands and independent businesses across all segments of the hospitality industry from full-service offerings through to select-service.
We have helped our clients with the following:
- Build customer centric service cultures
- Examine and improve customer service delivery systems
- Develop and implement service standards
- Develop service planning and measurement tools
- Examine and implement technology solutions to drive productivity
During our unique 2-week opportunity analysis phase, our consulting team uncovers and quantifies processes, management systems, and organizational behavior issues that might be eroding your service levels and profitability. From there, a more tailored and extensive project engagement serves to validate opportunities, jointly develop solutions, and implement best practices.
Rather than just deliver our findings and recommendations to you in a report, our consultants actively assist with implementation while coaching, training, and supporting leaders. This ensures the benefits and underlying changes will continue long after we are gone. The performance improvement is carefully tracked, to ensure results are realized in financial performance and satisfaction metrics. Results from our engagements meet or exceed initial expectations over 90% of the time and the average return on investment is between 200 – 300% within the first year.

Police charge Australian teenager with planning Anzac terror attack
[SYDNEY] Australian police have arrested and charged a teenager with a terrorism offence related to planning an attack at Monday's commemorations of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli during World War One.
The 16-year-old boy was arrested near his Sydney home on Sunday and will appear before a children's court on Monday, police said. The offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Anzac Day, April 25, is a major annual holiday in Australia and New Zealand marking the date of the first Gallipoli landings in 1915, in which large numbers of Australian and New Zealand troops fought and died.
Dawn services and military parades are held around the country, with the largest drawing crowds of tens of thousands in Sydney and Melbourne. "We have taken swift action to ensure community safety on the eve of a sacred day on the Australian calendar," New South Wales state Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione said in a statement.
"The age of the individual is obviously a concern for us, and it remains a measure of the ongoing task facing law enforcement and the community." Mr Scipione later told a press conference police believed the boy was acting alone. "The risk from this particular threat has been thwarted," he said.
Your feedback is important to us

Several teenagers have been arrested in Australia in recent years and charged with terrorism offences, including five young men who police alleged were planning an attack at last year's centenary Anzac day celebrations.
Police said those planning the attack last year clearly took inspiration from the Islamic State movement, also known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

Back in…October or so, when Allison put up her poem book on Google Drive for her beta-readers, I read this one poem that made me cry…and then inspired me to, whilst sobbing, write more details. I ended up with a page-long flash fiction, and haven't done anything with it since. I haven't even edited it.
But I knew it was good, so I figured I should probably publish it on here. The story line is absolutely NOT mine, I totally stole that from Allison's poem. But somehow the emotions just articulated themselves into words like they rarely do, and I felt this as I wrote it…even though I've never experienced it. I'm an INFJ. XD Anyway, without further ado.
I knew the minute I saw you that I was going to love you.
But I knew before that, too. I really knew the minute I saw the two pink lines that I was going to love you as long as I could. My eyes shone as I whispered the news – the sweet, secret news of a new life growing inside me. I dreamed of the day when I would hold your hand, hold you close, hold your life. I smiled as I prepared for you. As I bought little booties and baby bottles.
My heart grew full when I heard your heart beat – it filled so full it overflowed with a few tears. My heart grew full as we laughed over names, picking one for you close to both our hearts. My heart grew full as you grew inside me, as I rested my hand outside your protective bubble every time I thought of you.
I couldn't wait for that day when I'd finally meet you face to face.
But before that day came, my dreams were shattered. Shattered like the glass I dropped that split into a million pieces – my heart was a million pieces. Again it overflowed, tears spilling over like a bucket full with rain water when it rains for days in wintertime. I wept and my tears were not joy this time.
"Lord, why?" I cried, my body racked with sobs, shaking you too inside of me. I hugged the pillow closer, knowing that you'd never grow big enough for me to hug you instead. I couldn't understand why your precious life would so soon be gone from me. How I hated the words the doctors said, as they tried to break it to me gently.
Death is not gentle.
Sadly I packed away each little thing I bought for you, knowing you would never use them. I cherished each day you stayed within me, knowing all too soon your new life would be ended. I remembered every time I looked at the little photo of you inside me that it would be one of the only photos we would ever have.
And then the day came, all too soon. Pain shot through me but all I could think of was you, and wonder if you'd even be alive when you were born. But you were. You were alive and your cries split the air when you finally met our world. I held you tightly against my heart and thanked God I was able to meet you, even if our time together on this earth was short.
You were perfect. Wrinkled and so white but altogether perfect, and I loved you – oh, how I loved you. You were mine, and you were precious, but you were not mine for long. It wasn't many minutes before you took your last breath, struggling to breathe, as I inhaled quietly so I could hear you.
And then, you were gone. My heart, so full with love for you broke again from the splintered shatters, and I watched you as they took you from me. I cried, with pain and with sorrow, and I couldn't think of anything else but you being taken from me. I didn't want to breathe. You stopped breathing, why couldn't I? Hot tears rolled down my cheeks, filling my eyes until I couldn't see anything but the blurry plants filling the hospital room.
I knew I'd see you again, but I didn't know why I'd have to wait so long.
My heart has gathered up its shatters, but you still hold a few of its pieces. Keep them safe for me, my love.
I miss you.

The TRRP made news in the environmental science magazine Environmental Factor, a publication of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). Read the piece, "No clear guidelines on self-plagiarism in science, Moskovitz says" here.
Author Archives: cmosk
New publication in the Journal of Technical Writing and Communication
Cary Moskovitz & Susanne Hall. Text Recycling in STEM Research: An Exploratory Investigation of Expert and Novice Beliefs and Attitudes. Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, March, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1177/0047281620915434 LINK FULL-TEXT
When writing journal articles, STEM researchers produce a number of other genres such as grant proposals and conference posters, and their articles routinely build directly on their own prior work. As a result, STEM authors often reuse material from their completed documents in producing new documents. While this practice, known as text recycling (or self-plagiarism), is a debated issue in publishing and research ethics, little is known about researchers' beliefs about what constitutes appropriate practice. This article presents results of an exploratory, survey-based study on beliefs and attitudes toward text recycling among STEM "experts" (faculty researchers) and "novices" (graduate students and postdocs). While expert and novice researchers are fairly consistent in distinguishing between text recycling and plagiarism, there is considerable disagreement about appropriate text recycling practice.
TRRP at the 2020 Association for Practical and Professional Ethics meeting
In February, members of the TRRP gave two presentations at the 2020 annual meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics in Atlanta, GA. Cary Moskovitz presented "The Text Recycling Research Project: The Challenges and Our Approach" as part of the Responsible Conduct Of Research-Research Integrity Consortium pre-conference workshop. Chris Anson, Ian Anson and Michael Pemberton joined Cary to present a panel session, "Findings from the Text Recycling Research Project."
Presentation at AMWA 2019
Cary Moskovitz and Susanne Hall presented "Text Recycling in Scientific Research Writing" at the American Medical Writers Association Medical Writing & Communication Conference in San Diego, CA on Nov 7, 2019.
New publication out today. Text recycling: Views of North American journal editors from an interview-based study.
Michael A. Pemberton, Susanne Hall, Cary Moskovitz & Chris Anson. Text Recycling: Views of North American Journal Editors from an Interview-Based Study. Learned Publishing, 2019. DOI: 10.1002/leap.1259
Results from an interview-based study of 21 journal editors from a broad range of academic disciplines. Our findings show that editors' beliefs and practices are quite individualized, rather than being tied to disciplinary or other structural parameters.
— First text analytics results to be presented at 8th International Conference on Writing Analytics
Three members of the TRRP will share our first findings on STEM researchers actual recycling practices in a talk titled "Text Recycling in STEM Disciplines: Results from a Text Analytic Study" at the 8th International Conference on Writing Analytics, 5-6 September 2019, Winterthur, Switzerland. Here is the abstract:
Text recycling (TR), sometimes called "self-plagiarism", is the reuse of text verbatim from one's own existing documents in a newly- created text. In a (US) federally-funded grant, we have been studying TR patterns using several methodologies. In one strand of this research, we have created a tool in R to analyze large corpora of published articles to determine the extent of TR occurrence. In this presentation, we briefly describe the goals of the project and the analytic system we have developed. We then share the results of an analysis of 400 published papers associated with eight disciplines. Results show the frequency of TR across disciplines in articles generated from the same grants. These results demonstrate that substantial variation exists in text recycling practices across disciplines and individual authors. We conclude by speculating about the causes of these patterns, especially as they have evolved over time.
Text Recycling Project featured at COPE European Seminar
Three members of the TRRP will be featured speakers at the Committee on Publication Ethics European Seminar in Leiden, Netherlands, Sept 23, 2019. Here is the abstract:
Text recycling research project
Text recycling is an increasingly important and controversial issue in scholarly communication, yet little actual research has been conducted and it is rarely addressed in the ethical training of researchers. The Text Recycling Research Project is the first large scale investigation of the topic. The aim of the NSF-supported project is to better understand text recycling, to help build consensus among stakeholders, and to promote ethical and appropriate practice.
- What do gatekeepers across academic fields believe about appropriate text recycling practice? Michael Pemberton, Georgia Southern University. Professor of Writing and Linguistics, Director of the University Writing Center, and Editor of Across the Disciplines
- What do STEM researchers actually do in practice? Cary Moskovitz (Lead PI), Duke University. Associate Professor of the Practice and Director of Writing in the Disciplines, Thompson Writing Program
- When is text recycling legal and when does it violate copyright or contract law? David R Hansen, Associate University Librarian for Research, Collections and Scholarly Communications, Lead Copyright and Information Policy Officer, Duke University Libraries

The Blues haven't said much this week, but as fans keep asking about more Reaper of Souls beta testing slots, and/or Diablo 3 going to the PTR, there are a couple of replies about it. One even including the dreaded soon™! Quote:
Grimiku: We're going to launch our Public Test Region with patch 2.0.1 soon, and that will have some of the class changes, Paragon 2.0, Loot 2.0, and more. You can test that out when it goes live, and leave us feedback if you want. There's a little more information about the PTR in this blog if you want to look through it.
We're glad you're so excited to test out what's coming in Patch 2.0.1!
I don't have a date to offer you for either the Closed Beta for Reaper of Souls (if you haven't opted-in yet, you can do so here), or the upcoming PTR for Patch 2.0.1, so you'll have to wait a little longer yet. But hang in there, because the weeks and months ahead are going to be awesome.
I've seen confusion about this, so note that he's talking about Diablo 3 on the PTR. Not Reaper of Souls on the PTR. RoS will expand the beta testing pool at some point, but there's no ETA on that. I wouldn't expect it soon, but then again I had no inkling that we'd see the F&F Beta open up a week after Blizzcon, so expanded RoS beta could come sooner than anyone expects.
What is going to expand for everyone is Diablo 3 classic, which is getting big patches at some point before Reaper of Souls launches. (Most fans assume that at least Loot 2.0 will go live before the Match 18th Auction House shut down.) The full feature list of what's coming to Diablo 3 hasn't been made public and is probably still undergoing internal debate (they've stated that Adventure Mode is still being debated), but as Grimiku said above, Diablo 3 v2.0.1 will at least include Loot 2.0 and Paragon 2.0, presumably along with a full overhaul of the difficulty system which will remove Monster Power (and Nephalem Valor stacks? and give unto Diablo 3 players a system much like we see today in the Reaper of Souls beta.
Note that the Diablo 3 PTR will *not* include the Crusader, Act Five, or the level 70 increase, which means no fourth passive or the new skill for each class, since those only come in at level 61 and higher. You must buy Reaper of Souls to get those features, though there are many many lvl 1-60 skill tweaks and balances coming to Diablo 3 for free.
Personally, I'm a little surprised they're overhauling Diablo 3 so much to match the Reaper of Souls features. I figured they'd do it more like WoW and other RPGs (such as Diablo 2), where there are big changes in each new expansion while the previous "live" game stays much as it was, for people who prefer that and don't want to move onto the new expansion features.
Are you guys excited for big changes coming to Diablo 3? Or are most of you just watching the progress of Reaper of Souls and waiting your chance to move onto Reaper of Souls, ideally through the beta test?

President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, 74, has given his citizens the authority to 'shoot but not kill' any corrupt public official they encounter.
According to him, if anyone witnesses officials taking bribes and shoot them he can promise them immunity from prosecution but only if the victim survives.
The outspoken leader made this statement during his visit to Bataan.
"If you pay a tax, a fee or get a certificate, and the officials ask for a bribe, hit them. If you have weapons, you can shoot them, but don't kill, because during the proceedings you may not receive a pardon.
'Don't kill them because you might end up getting embroiled with those given pardon after computation. Just the foot. It will only be serious physical injuries. You'll be placed on probation. You'll just report to probation officer. At least you shot a foolish thief and I will defend you." He said.
Also, he added that those who take him up on the offer 'will not be sent to prison, but will only be seriously punished physically.'
The president appealed to the public to assert their rights, and report any corruption or abuse involving a government official or worker.

Jobot doses the dance floor with acid in this week's recommended mix
Everybody loves acid, right?
Well, no—some people can't stand the stuff. Meaning, of course, the sound of a Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer's knobs being tweaked mercilessly, rendering the machine's metallic tones into the aural equivalent of a Jackson Pollock canvas. (Not the drug, sorry—everybody does love that, obviously.)
An adherence to acid tends to be the mark of a true dance-music lifer, and if anyone can be called that it's Jobot. Born Joe Bartuski, he "grew up in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, just west of Milwaukee," he says, and lives now in Northeast Minneapolis. "I love the proximity to most of the venues that support electronic music," he says—including Honey, where tonight he and longtime local crew the Headspace Collective will be throwing an all-acid jamboree called Meltdown. Even better, it's free.
Jobot's been spinning records at parties for nearly 20 years. In 1999, he says, "I graduated from belt drive turntables to direct drive, and then finally Technics 1200's. I had already been playing the occasional house party on one of those old-school rack-mount dual CD players. Feel like it was in my blood even as a kid—I used to play tunes from the DJ booth at the local roller rink when I was about 12 years old."
In 2003, he began putting on events of his own. These tend to bring out a lot of locals as diehard as Jobot himself, notably the events he puts on at Club Underground, i.e. the basement of Northeast's Spring Street Tavern, as much of a divey Minneapolis bar as you could ask for, under the auspices of Overland Recordings, the label Bartuski runs alongside Jacob Hoffman, Dave Eckblad (aka mrBlaQ), and Josh Bestgen. The next one of those is on Saturday, March 24. In between, on the 17th, he'll appear with several dozen other area spinners and live electronic performers at—I am not making this up—the Best Western in Albert Lea for a day-and-night-long blowout dubbed Heartbreak Hotel 4.
As you'd guess from somebody with such a busy DJ schedule, Jobot's stylistic range is broad and deep—he's a regular at the Goth-industrial dance night Dark Energy as well as half of ZWAREMACHINE, an industrial project with Mach Fox, plus a fluent spinner of everything from synth-pop to vintage house to ambient—he cites electro as his "predominant musical focus," and his DJ Set @ Summer No Chill (August 2016) is excellent evidence of it.
"This mix was recorded live at the Klubhaus, an unfortunately now closed Minneapolis warehouse space," says Jobot. "I was aiming to juxtapose darker electro sounds against quality 4/4 tracks, both newer dark techno releases and some old school cuts as well." All of it meshes nicely—electro's tinny squiggles and the 303's acid lines offer the listener/dancer similar sorts of aural tunnel vision (or irritation, if you're not inclined), though the set is far heavier on the former than the latter. Expect things to reverse at Meltdown, for which Jobot reports he is "excited to play some old Trax vinyl records at a venue that is genuinely supportive of and interested in electronic music."
With: The Headspace Collective, Jobot
Where: Honey Mpls
When: 9 p.m. Thu. March 8
Tickets: Free; more info here

Voted "Media Mogul" by Peers and Welcome Frank!
After this past weekend's depressing news in the post Trump Administration Forcing Detained Children to Attend Online, For-Profit Charter School? How about something a little lighter? Last week, the California State University Sacramento College of Education held our annual retreat to kick off the school year! The leadership team of the college added a few awards to recognize faculty for their "achievements." Here are the awards:
- The Night Owl
- Committee Connoisseur
- The Media Mogul
- Devil's Advocate
- Social Butterfly
- The Weekend Warrior
- Best Work-Life Balance
- The Mother (or Father) Hen
- Our Che Guevara of COE
So I was honored to be voted by faculty and staff of the College of Education as "media mogul"
This might not have been the best part of the award… because I was hard at work earning the moniker on my social media during the retreat— really hard at work. Here I am on my iPhone busted by the photographer of the event (who incidentally runs the social media for my program office) here:
Maybe she just wanted to underscore the point with a close up.
The president of the university once asked me when I have time to write my academic articles because I often tweet so prolifically. Well, it's like climbing a rope in gym class whiles hula hooping at the same time or standing on a soccer ball and spinning three plate simultaneously.
One cool announcement. The California State University Sacramento Docotrate in Educational Leadership is also proud to announce that we've hired Frank Adamson from Stanford's SCOPE to join us as a tenure track faculty member. He's been working with Linda Darling-Hammond there for quite some time (Check out the post EDUCATION HEALTH ALERT!: UNITED NATIONS WARNS GERMS SPREADING WORLDWIDE #NN15). Here we are introducing him to the College. Welcome Frank!
We have already put him to work. Here's a new collabo that is coming soon.
Have a great week!

Going to the dentist should be easy and stress-free—not something we dread and ultimately put off for another day. Unfortunately, for many of us, that's not the case. A simple appointment can be filled with fear, anxiety, and embarrassment. But it doesn't have to be. At ImmediaDent, we view dentistry differently, which means we treat you like a person, not a patient.
What That Means to Us
When we treat you like a person, not a patient it means we acknowledge and understand your feelings of worry and anxiety. Our team is trained to help you overcome these challenges. Our compassion as providers will help ease your worried mind and make your appointment as comfortable as possible. It means we don't pass judgment if your appointment is long overdue. We are just happy you made it into the office and that your journey to better health includes us.
Most importantly, treating you like a person, not a patient means committing ourselves to compassion each and every day. This is why we created our People Pledge.
ImmediaDent People Pledge
Behind every missed appointment and every unfixed tooth is someone's because—an
underlying reason that has kept them out of the dental chair.
At ImmediaDent, we want to understand your because. Whatever it is, we're here to
help. We'll combat your fear with compassion. Have calming conversations to ease your
anxiety. And stay open longer so you can see us when it fits your schedule.
We pledge to do whatever it takes to help you have a better dental experience.
We pledge to treat you as a person, not a patient.
What That Means For You
When we treat you like a person, not a patient, it means you can make dentist appointments at a time that works best for you. And you only have dental work done that you feel comfortable having done. It means having a dentist that that doesn't make you feel embarrassed for skipping an appointment or two (or ten!). Because sometimes life gets in the way—and we understand that. Above all, it's finally overcoming your anxiety, your embarrassment, your discomfort—or whatever your reason is for not visiting the dentist. We are here to help you do just that.
To us, you're so much more than a patient. You're a person with a future as bright as your smile. Click here to see how ImmediaDent can help you.

If you ever watched two elementary school students duke it out over a holographic Charizard, you know firsthand just how seriously some people can take their Pokémon.
I'd wager 90 percent of the people who collected Pokémon cards didn't actually know how to use them for their intended purpose, but that didn't make them any less valuable in the eyes of kids who spent every dollar they could on booster packs.
The Beanie Baby bubble might have burst a few years ago, but based on an eBay listing from a possibly delusional seller, the price of an unopened box of first-edition cards could be worth as much as a used sedan with fairly low mileage.
If you happen to have $119,000 sitting around and don't know what to do with it, you might want to think about "investing" in nine boxes of pristine and factory-sealed Pokémon cards.
A picture of the goods.
If you have any doubts about the authenticity, you can just reach out to one of the many high-end, serious Pokémon collectors for assurance.
Sadly, the Pikachu girl is not included because most people have realized buying and selling humans is a bad idea.
I can't tell you if it's a good price (a similar booster set apparently sold for over $9,000), and if you have that kind of money to drop, you're probably better off investing it in literally anything else.
However, if you do decide to buy, I'll happily accept a modest finder's fee of 37 percent because if you can afford these, you can probably afford that, too.

As you an Angular component has a life cycle, much life us humans. In the beginning we are nothing, we do a bunch in the middle and then we die 🙂 However if you want to call a certain service in your "ngOnInit" to dump some values into a var that appears in your html, your going to have a bad time. Or at least angular is by throwing a lot of errors in your console, I mean it will still work.
To get rid of these errors all you have to do it the following add a "?" at the end of the end of the var that's in the html, and ta-da errors gone. This works since the "?" tells Angular to chill out there will be a value you there "eventually". Hmm… but why eventually you may ask ? Its because two functions before "ngOnInit" get called , the very first one being the constructor of the class and the second being the "ngOnChanges" method. So for the execution of the first two methods its asking "WTF where is this thing in the html in the .ts file ?" which makes throw errors.
