While most of Tamil Nadu saw dry weather yesterday, across the coast Mumbai saw a day that reminded the citizens of the earlier deluge days as rains battered the Metropolis from late afternoon well into the night with many suburbs crossing 25 cms and seeing hourly rain rates touch as high as 7 cms at times.
But it appears the rain Gods indeed are likely to show some mercy on Mumbai as models indicate the heaviest spell of rains are likely to happen slightly to the Southwest of the city thereby preventing another day of deluge. With the Low Pressure currently persisting around Odisha / Chhattisgarh region along with an upper cyclonic circulation over the Konkan region the moisture will get recycled constantly over Central India.
Closer home it appears the next few days most of Tamil Nadu is likely to see dry weather with the exception of the places along the Western Ghats & South Tamil Nadu around Kanyakumari & Tirunelveli districts. The current Low Pressure has to complete its life cycle until with the rainfall prospects will be on the lower side for Tamil Nadu. The next best opportunity will come up when a possible Upper Air Cyclonic Circulation starts taking genesis around West Central Bay bringing some rainfall opportunities for North TN.

I'm excited to finally have found a pair of jeans that doesn't stretch out and bag throughout the day! The Rockstar secret slim pockets in high rise are perfect! I did end up ordering a size down and while they were tight at first, within a couple of hours they were perfect! They have a stiffer feel than other jeans which is fine with me because I know they will hold their shape better. I have 2 other pairs from Old Navy I am debating between as well, but I didn't include them here because I wasn't sure if I would keep them. I also have a pair of gingham shorts and distressed denim shorts I am still mulling over. I had to replace a few items that were a little worn out like my chambray and white shorts. They were both a few years old and starting to look a little dingy. I also got a new white v neck. I live in printed shorts and v neck tees in the summer. White tees, no matter how much I bleach them always seem to start to look dingy after a summer or two so I get the Time & Tru ones for $4 from Walmart. They fit nicely (not too tight) and for the price I'm not angry if my toddler spills all over me.
I am excited to have found a few swimsuits from amazon that I love! Complete truth here I was ready to hate them both, especially the high waisted one. But I am really impressed! I can't believe I now have 3 swimsuits that I actually feel good in (and a few others I should probably get rid of, ha!) I'm looking forward to wearing them in Arizona this week.
For next month, I just want to get a new pair of distressed denim shorts and maybe a few pairs of statement earrings. These earrings from amazon caught my eye. I love them in turquoise and the cobalt blue! I think they would be so pretty for summer and they are a great price, too!

WT Energiesysteme GmbH convinces in the certification process and receives the bonus certificate from Creditreform.
Press Release
Top credit rating for energy with system
The medium-sized enterprise headquartered in Riesa (Germany) is specialized in the planning, construction and maintenance of transformer stations and transfer stations. Founded in 2002 by Wolfgang Weber and Dietmar Tietz, WT Energiesysteme is now one of the leading suppliers in its branch. Our customers are national and international energy suppliers, operators of solar, wind and biogas plants as well as industrial companies.
When implementing our projects, we attach particular importance to adherence to delivery dates and cost reliability. Our customers are our partners who receive our complete range of services from a single source – from the idea to the turnkey handover, explains CEO Dietmar Tietz. We focus on innovative solutions – both in the selection of system components as well as in monitoring and system protection.
A milestone in the company's success story was the construction and commissioning of two substations in Markbygden in northern Sweden – Europe's largest onshore wind farm – in June 2018. The project was realized with the help of the German-Swedish Chamber of Commerce. Further plants in Scandinavia are in the planning stage.
WT Energiesysteme currently employs 45 people and achieved a turnover of € 20 million in 2018. "For the realization of our projects we rely on a team of competent and experienced engineers. We always keep our employees up to date with the latest technological developments," says Dietmar Tietz. By the end of 2019, the construction of a new production hall including offices is to start at the Riesa location, which will create further jobs.
The positive development has an effect on the very good credit rating of the company, which leads to WT Energiesysteme GmbH being awarded the CrefoZERT – the credit rating certificate of Creditreform for excellent business activity, credit worthiness and stability.
CrefoZERT – the seal of approval for their creditworthiness
Only 2% of all companies in Germany can obtain this certificate. This seal of approval certifies the audited company's exceptional creditworthiness on the basis of extensive criteria. The credit rating is based on a professional annual financial statement analysis by Creditreform Rating AG and the creditworthiness information from the Creditreform economic database. In addition, a Creditreform analyst conducts a comprehensive on-site audit of the audited company on the basis of a personal survey. The certificate not only confirms an excellent credit rating, but also a very low default risk.

We seek to understand how cancer cell DNA changes over time so that we can one day develop better treatments.
Cancer is a somatic evolutionary process driven by acquisition of (epi)genetic mutations. Although the mutational patterns have been extensively characterized by cancer genomic sequencing studies, yet our knowledge of rate and evolutionary effect of mutations on tumor dynamics is limited. Fruitful evolutionary theories in population genetics have provided insights into mutation-driven tumor evolution, however, the theories/hypotheses have rarely been tested experimentally due to the difficulty of obtaining time-series genomic data in patients. Breakthroughs in in vitro 3D tumor organoid culture and the precision genome editing technique CRISPR-Cas9 pave the way to tackle these challenging problems.
This project aims to a) functionally characterize the role of mutator genes (e.g. DNA mismatch repair genes and genes causing chromosomal instability) on tumorigenesis and metastasis using CRISPR-based genome editing in primary human organoid culture and mouse xenograft models; b) define a computational approach to estimate the mutation rates of drivers (beneficial) and passengers (neutral and deleterious) based on longitudinal genomic data. We use whole-exome and deep targeted sequencing sampled longitudinally in primary organoid and xenograft models to compare wild-type vs. mutator phenotypes; c) test the theories/hypotheses of mutation rate on tumor cell evolution experimentally and computationally, such as whether mutation rate is a selective trait during tumorigenesis, the neutralization of selection under high mutation rates in an asexual population, clonal interference, mutational meltdown, etc. We hope to elucidate the fundamental principles of how mutation rate affects tumor evolution.

So that is another day complete from a European perspective in our bitcoin price trading efforts and, just as we suggested might be the case this morning, it's been a pretty strange one. Action is all over the place at the moment and this is making difficult to establish any sort of consistent strategy. It's not impossible, of course, and our intraday strategies were designed to make it as simple as possible, but it does mean that we have had to be extra careful with our target placement and our risk management parameters so as to avoid being chopped out on the back of any erratic movement.
So, with this noted, let's try and move forward and continue to draw profit from the market as and when things move. As ever, take a quick look at the chart below before we get started so as to get an idea where things stand and where we are looking to jump in and out the markets according to the rules of our albeit revised intraday strategy near-term. The chart is, as usual, a one-minute candlestick chart and it has the range we are going to use for the session this evening overlaid in green.
As the chart shows, then, the range we have got in our sights for the session this evening comes in as defined by support to the downside at 5584 and resistance to the upside at 5618. This is a pretty tight range, so we will be using our breakout strategy only for the time being.
Specifically, if we see price break above resistance, we will enter long towards an immediate upside target of 5650. A stop loss on the trade at 5605 looks good.
Looking the other way, if we see price close below support, we will enter short towards an immediate downside target of 5560.

10:32 | 05/05/2016 Companies
Thailand's Central Group and a Vietnamese partner have beaten many strong local and foreign rivals in a highly competitive bid for Big C assets in Vietnam.
A shopper pays for goods bought at a Big C store in HCMC
Central Group announced last Friday that it and its local partner Nguyen Kim Trading Company had jointly acquired Big C Vietnam for 920 million euro (US$1.05 billion) from France's Casino Group. However, details about their capital contribution structure is unknown. Nguyen Kim is now 49% owned by Central Group.
"Ultimately our success grew out of our determination and commitment to contribute to the prosperity of Vietnam and to improve the quality of life of the people. We see in Big C a partner that shares this commitment and vision to improving and enriching the lives of people here," said Nguyen Van Kim, chairman of Nguyen Kim Trading Company, in a Central Group statement.
With the acquisition of Big C Vietnam, Central Group is committed to continuing using products of local suppliers, maintaining strong relationships with Big C customers, employees and local authorities, and sourcing local goods for Big C stores, according to the Thai firm.
Casino's disposal of its unit in Vietnam in a bid to reduce its debt by selling assets in Asia and Latin America will bring its total pestments to 4.2 billion euros.
Big C Vietnam has 33 supermarkets, ten convenience stores and e-commerce site Cdiscount.vn. The firm earlier expected to fetch some US$800 million from the sale.
Some 20 companies joined the bid for Big C Vietnam, including Aeon of Japan, Lotte of South Korea, BJC of Thailand, Saigon Co.op and Masan of Vietnam and Central Group. Saigon Co.op, the owner of the extensive Co.opmart supermarket chain in Vietnam, was a serious contender but the prevailing regulations on foreign investment prevented it from acquiring Big C Vietnam. Saigon Co.op currently has no license to invest overseas while the bid for Big C Vietnam requires the local cooperative to conduct the transaction abroad.
Big C Vietnam's 2015 revenue was 586 million euros. Big C Vietnam is ranked second after the Co.opmart chain in terms of store number, so the acquisition of Big C Vietnam will help Central Group save at least seven years of development on the local retail market./.

As Category 2 Hurricane Florence moves swiftly toward the East Coast, the North Carolina-based Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (RRT) is preparing to respond.
On Tuesday afternoon, RRT staff emailed their network of crisis-trained chaplains, asking for volunteers to deploy when Florence strikes. More than 200 chaplains responded within a few hours.
>> Help send Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains into disaster zones to share God's love in times of crisis.
"This is quite unusual for a storm to have a direct hit like this one," International Director of RRT Jack Munday said. "It's my understanding it's never happened [in this area] before. This one is coming straight in."
Torrential rain, high winds and storm surge are predicted over the next few days across the Carolinas. Inland flooding is expected as Florence is likely to stall before finishing its course.
"This is a major historic, catastrophic event. We know the need is going to be massive, the deployment is going to be long," Munday said.
Thinking back to Hurricane Floyd's destruction in 1999 when 18,000 square miles were under water, he believes recovery may take months.
Carefully eyeing the latest forecast models for Florence, Munday and his team are thinking strategically about how to use their resources. They're identifying shelters in North Carolina and South Carolina, and making plans to send crisis-trained chaplains to those areas within the next several days.
Law enforcement agencies have also reached out to the chaplains and requested their assistance.
"We certainly will support them," Munday said.
In addition, RRT is in communication with Samaritan's Purse, and will partner with the relief organization in the storm's aftermath to provide emotional and spiritual care. The chaplain team is gearing up vehicles called Mobile Ministry Centers (MMCs) to serve as a refuge where people can come for conversation and prayer.
And although there's still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the hurricane's path, RRT wants to be ready to respond at a moment's notice to the areas where they'll be most helpful.
More than 1 million people are under evacuation orders, so there is high likelihood of emotional and spiritual needs from the incoming disaster. As bread aisles run low and lines for gas pile up, it's crucial that people prepare and aren't overcome by fear.
"Fear is real, but God makes Himself available to us to offer peace in the midst of fear," Munday said, encouraging those who are nervous about the storm to pray. "God can meet us right where we're at.
"Our heart is that people will be praying for those who are affected," Munday said. "We certainly are praying right now that the storm turns around and goes the other way."
Even in the storms of life, God is there. Start a relationship with Him today.
If you're in the midst of fear and would like to talk with someone, call the Billy Graham Response Center at 877-247-2426.

After that stinker of an issue we discussed yesterday, I feared that Vartox Week was in jeopardy... wouldn't wanna read another one like that! Though, I suppose... during every holiday week, some rain must fall... or something.
Let's hit it and git it with day seven of Vartox Week!
We open with Superman helping out some oil workers by excising a glowing... and expanding... rock from the ground where they were digging. This stone is evidently harder than even a diamond-tipped drill... so, we know it's bad news. Superman flies it into space... right past a very familiar silhouette.
Then... it explodes... thanks to that very familiar silhouette. What follows is a scene not unlike the The Creation of Adam fresco... only, this isn't Adam and God, this is Superman and... Vartox!
The two chums reconnect, with Var informing Superman that he's going to be "in town" for the next few days. This is something that'll make one Ms. Lang very happy. Unbeknownst to them, they are being observed by another... sorta familiar... silhouette.
That night, back in Metropolis, Jimmy Olsen fills in for an "under the weather" Lana Lang on the WGBS Evening News. Of course, we know that she's actually... uh, under... something else. Okay, okay... they're just making out... but, fact remains, she's with Vartox.
As their evening draws to a close, Var returns Lana to her apartment... and informs her that he's only ever loved one woman as much as he loves her... and that, of course, is his (still) unnamed deceased wife. Gentleman he is, he doesn't spend the night... but tells her he'll be back to retrieve her in the morning. That night she thinks about just how unfair life can be... she can only see her beloved for a few days each year.
Back at the Fortress, Vartox tells Superman that he'd never be able to take Lana back to Tynola with him... because the atmosphere just won't jive with the physiology of an Earthling. Of course, we could argue that Vartox could just move to Earth... but, then we wouldn't have a story.
Then... back at Lana's, our gal is visited by... an apparition of sorts. This ghoulish figure, um... squirts clear pudding at her? Before we know it, Lana is completely encased in this gelatinous coating... and she likes it!
At the Fortress of Dualitude, Superman is alerted to an uprising in Rzunda, a fictional country in Africa... I'm guessing "Rwanda" was just on the tip of Cary Bates' tongue. Either way, there's an Ambassador being held captive by some baddies. Superman and Vartox tag team the gig, and it's over before we know it.
Back in Metropolis, Jimmy Olsen arrives at Lana's place to check on her. Remember, he thinks she's ill. He's even brought her her favorite breakfast from the corner cafe. What he finds is... gas pouring out from under her door! He bursts in and triggers his Zee-Zee Signal Watch.
No sooner do Superman and Vartox burst in themselves! Superman inhales all of the gas (we don't see him exhale it... he must've swallowed the whole lot!) and Vartox finds Lana... perfectly healthy, though, covered with a thin membrane of that gelatinous coating from the apparition. The "gas" was actually Tynolan atmosphere, so this proves she would survive living there.
And so, Lana ups and quits her job at WGBS and readies herself for an intergalactic moving truck rental.
Later, Superman and Vartox chat about the "apparition". Vartox posits that it was actually his own "hyper" body. His "phantom-self", even. Fueled by a subconscious desire to have Lana return to Tynola with him, the hyper-body found a way to make it all possible. Well, that's about as sound a reason as any, right? Of course, we know better.
The heroes part company, with Vartox deciding to take a load off and relax inside an active volcano. Superman "Clarks down" and heads back to Metropolis to have his "final" farewell with his old pal Lana. Vartox can't help himself but to use his hyper-vision to eavesdrop on them... and what he sees is, well... two old friends sharing a goodbye kiss.
Of course, to our man Vartox this scene looks anything but innocent. And so, he stands up... and declares Superman his enemy! The Kryptonian... must die! While Vartox rants, we draw to a close... and also, a woman rises from the lava. To be continued? You betta believe it.
But... we're not done yet! What follows is yet another peek into The Private Life of Clark Kent! These strange diary entries... which actually start with "Dear Diary..." wherein we share a (relatively) more mundane day-in-the-life with Clark. This one opens with Clark having a killer Spanish Omelette with his cousin Kara... before they have to head into New York City.
Ya see, this was during a time where Kara/"Linda" was starring on the daytime soap "Secret Hearts", and because today's script called fro a "real newsman" she was able to wrangle a guest-spot for her cousin Clark.
During the filming of their scene, Clark's super-hearing picks up a happening out in the street. An ambulance cannot make its way through the gridlock traffic. Since this is Kara's "turf" he decides to leave it to her... regardless of the fact that she's, ya know, currently on camera.
When Kara doesn't budge, Clark begrudgingly "supes up" and takes care of business... all the while preparing a lecture for his ignorant cousin. At that very moment on set, Linda flubs her lines.
Superman saves the day and drops the ambulance off at the hospital... then makes it back to the "Secret Hearts" set just in the nick of time to deliver his lines.
After the tape machines stop rolling, Clark goes to lay into Linda for ignoring the ambulance. She informs him that she used super-ventriloquism to tell him to handle the crisis, while she bought them some time by flubbing her lines! Only Clark was to "tuned in" to the ambulance to hear it... wonk wonk wonnnnnnk.
We wrap up with Clark promising to prepare another killer Spanish Omelette to make up for going off the handle... in the dorkiest way possible.
Well, that was more like it! I feel like both stories we get here delivered... hell, in comparison to yesterday's debacle, overdelivered.
Let's look at our "main feature". Vartox returns to Earth from his adopted home of Tynola (look at that continuity!) to visit with his friends Superman and Lana Lang. Perfectly adequate basis for a story.
The apparition? I haven't read further, but we almost gotta assume it has something to do with his unnamed deceased wife, right? I mean, she gets a mention here... also, it's established that Vartox can emit a "hyper-body"... I'm gonna guess that this hyper-body is a manifestation of Var's own guilt for moving on with his life... which takes the form of his lost wife. Almost gotta be, right?
It begs the question why the apparition would facilitate Lana Lang's ability to travel to Tynola... but, I'm gonna assume that's going to be revealed as a "monkey's paw" type of thing. During their chat, Superman instills in Vartox the axiom, "Beware of wishing too hard for what you want... because your wish might come true." So... we almost gotta be dealing with a "monkey's paw" situation, right?
Now... after Vartox sees Clark and Lana kiss. Is that an overreaction? I dunno. I mean, we know it's purely innocent (at least on Clark's end)... but, Vartox... a dude who's been kicked so many times when he's been down. I mean, we've just looked at his first eight appearances... and he's got more tragedy in his life than a troupe of Shakespearean so-and-so's.
I believe it stands to reason that Vartox would react the way he did. Lashing out without waiting for context or explanation. Dude's had a rough time of it... and probably just sees this as the next tragedy in his his life. I'm down with it.
Onto the back-up. The Secret Life of Clark Kent backups are among my (very few) favorite "flavor" of back-ups. They're almost always silly... but also, a lot of fun. I mean, where else are we going to see Clark Kent guest-starring on a daytime soap?
The highlight of this story... hell, perhaps the entire issue... is Clark dorkily saying "Ole!" and snapping his fingers when Kara asks for another "mean Spanish Omelette". That there's an image I'm going to be keeping within reach.
So... we've just had seven days of Vartox... but, you can't be thinking we're going to be left hangin' on that cliffhanger, right? By now we should all be fully-aware that Vartox Week is far too big a deal to be wrangled within the confines of seven Earthly days! Vartox Week will continue!

This is a site devoted to casting a spotlight on those comics in the Sunday pages that for one reason or another, were never collected. Also, I'll be paying attention to other comics worthy of wider recognition.
Saturday, October 22, 2011
Before Tom Armstrong became better known for creating a baby comic, he made his first debut with a collaboration with Tom Batiuk. (Yes, THAT Tom Batiuk. Apparently, there are things in cartoonists' pasts that are more interesting than the strips they create) However, since I know practically nothing about John Darling and don't have any scans of him, we'll have to settle for the baby.
Marvin was also the first instance I ever got of a comic being further condensed. While most comics are normally shown without the title page and throwaway panel, my newspaper outdid themselves by removing several panels that weren't necessary.
In other cases where the other panels were mandatory to the punchline, they were squished together. As far as I know, no other strip suffered as much as Marvin did, but it was one of these things that help spurn the additive/reductive element of comics.
There's been some speculation that Marvin was inspired by Garfield, since it shares some striking similarities -both feature a small destructive creature that eats a lot and only communicates by thinking. Since Marvin was debuted around the time that Garfield started to take off, it's not unreasonable. The difference is that one is a baby, and the other is a cat. For some people, there's not much difference, save that babies eventually grow up, unless they're cartoon babies.
Now there's a scary thought for you - babies' faces frozen in the shape of famous dictators. I have to admit that when I saw Marvin's face in the last panel there, I thought he was impersonating Frankenstein. I wasn't very immersed in politics, let alone American politics. I didn't even know we had a Prime Minister until Brian Mulrooney got caught up in multiple scandals. At the time, I thought he was a nice guy. (I was young!)
The Garfield comparison is even more pronounced when you take Cousin Megan in consideration. She's clearly the closest thing to competition that Marvin has. From these few examples, we get the sense she's clearly more ambitious than her cutesy outlook implies.
However, a cursory check on TvTropes showed that she hadn't shown up again in years, and was only briefly mentioned in a recent strip.
There was some controversy when Marvin started changing, not just in his character design, but also when he started expressing actual human speech and interacting with his parents without resorting to baby talk. In addition, he started standing up and walking as opposed to crawling around. But there was a strip that showed he was capable of this much earlier.
For those curious where the title image of Marvin running in his baby stroller comes from, this strip looks like a good originator as any.

Team building events within a work environment can often be rather terrifying at first thought. Climbing up mountains and walking tight ropes or maze rooms springs to mind. One imagines being put into a team of people, 'thrown' together to problem solve, work together and aim to agree on certain strategies to complete a task set. That sounds too much like any other work day.
At The Cooking Academy, we offer a very different type of team-building activity, a cookery challenge in the form of a 'Cook Off' between colleagues – 'Ready, Steady, Cook' that is a cookery event that has a broad appeal to everyone, united by the need to eat, click here to find out what else we can offer.
To be able to cook together and share the fruit of each other's labour can create a deep connection between people. Whether you usually enjoy cooking or not, is completely irrelevant, as the pleasure of eating, after having shared tasks and objectives to prepare and cook the meal, creates a union of hearts and minds.
By cooking and eating together in a non-office, social but professional environment, we foster a greater connection, increasing trust and enabling teamwork.
No matter what the level of seniority, the activities become a leveler for all, from CEO and senior board level, right through to individual team members.
As a company, we acknowledge the importance of the nutritional value of food and we believe our passion and expertise are what make our events unique and truly memorable for our clients.

Iran aims to export 300-350 million cubic meters of natural gas to 15 neighboring countries in the years to come, director for international affairs at the National Iranian Gas Company revealed.
Azizollah Ramezani made the statement on the sidelines of the 21st Iran International Oil, Gas, Refining and Petrochemical Exhibition (Iran Oil Show) in Tehran, IRNA reported.
"Iran's current gas production stands at 700 million cubic meters per day and plans have been made to raise the volume to 1.2 billion cubic meters by the end of the sixth five-year development plan (2016-21)," he said.
He added that with the new phases of South Pars Gas Field going on stream in the near future, the Persian Gulf country's gas export capacity will reach 200 million cubic meters a day and by employing optimization plans, the figure can be raised to 350 mcm/d.
Pointing to the fact that Iran has gas export, import and swap deals with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Pakistan, Ramezani said gas negotiations with Afghanistan, Oman, Kuwait and other Persian Gulf littoral states are underway, hoping that the talks would lead to the realization of the goals.
"After supplying neighboring countries, Iran can set new goals to claim a share of larger markets such as India, China and Europe via gas pipeline or in the form of liquefied natural gas," he said.
The official referred to the 80% share of exports in Iran's total gas production during 1966-79 and added that following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the country's strategic policy was to prioritize the growing domestic needs.
According to Ramezani, as Iran's gas production is on the rise and all domestic sectors, including gas injection, petrochemical complexes and large industries, are connected to the national gas grid, there is enough room to sell the surplus output.
SP's Output to Reach 800mcm/d
With the implementation of five new phases of South Pars in the current Iranian year (started March 20), Iran's daily gas production will reach 800 million cubic meters from the joint field, equaling Qatar's annual output, Ali Akbar Shabanpour, managing director of Pars Oil and Gas Company, announced on Friday.
"If the remaining phases, including Phase 14, would go on stream, Iran's production of gas condensates will rise by 1 million barrels per day," he was quoted as saying by Shana.
The POGC chief also said on Thursday that the Persian Gulf country's production of gas condensates from South Pars, which accounts for 50% of Iran's natural gas production, has crossed 500,000 barrels a day.
On the Iran-Qatar race for increasing gas production from the field, Shabanpour said Qatar's annual output, which stands at 177 billion cubic meters, has not changed in the past three years, while Iran is pressing ahead to raise output that reached 132 billion cubic meters last year.
Iran, which is now producing as much as 75% of its neighbor's output, has succeeded in narrowing the gap.

No one's gonna play the harp when you die
I'm packed and ready. Again. I've crammed my life into a little box on wheels and I'm ready to take this show on the road. Again.
These last few days have been exceptionally perfect. Other than repeatedly waking up with a hangover befitting Chuck Bukowski, I have been really enjoying this bizarre schedule of mine. I stay up late drinking wine and reading books (mostly about zombies, sometimes about hitler), and I wake up whenever I damn well please (usually when the busses start their normal morning schedule outside my window at 9am). Tomorrow I fly to Toronto. This will be my third time there in as many months with Interpol. We are playing another Virgin festival there. Bonus is that Bjork is playing right after those guys, so I miss the wrath of Billy Corgan's giant bald head. I'm looking forward to bits of this next one. There is lots of new stuff to play with, and, I think, some new songs. The band is working out how to play the funeral dirge of a song that closes the new record. Should be nothing if not stunning live. There is the amazing jump from Madison Square Garden to the Disco Rodeo in NC. My family usually makes it out when I work there. It's embarrassing to think that the most they see of what I do for a living is inside a rodeo bar. I mean there is a line dancing floor and pinatas hung from the ceiling for fuck's sake.
I'll remember this when I'm in a field in Canada. Ocean beach on a warm, sunny day.
I'll picture this as I repeat my new tour mantra: 'I am well payed for a job where my creativity is well-respected and the beer is free.' Also every now and again I have two weeks off to sit on the beach and do little else.
I saw this mural yesterday above 826 Valencia in the mission. I recognized it immediately as Chris Ware's. He wrote/drew 'Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid on Earth.' It's one of the saddest and most amazing things that I have ever read. I always wish that I could go back to the time before I read it, so that I could experience it again. Sentimentality aside, it is an amazing mural. I went to their website to confirm it. Here's what it says:
Chris Ware, one of the world's great artists, designed this mural specifically for 826 Valencia. It depicts the parallel development of humans and their efforts at and motivations for communication, spoken and written. It's a very complex mural, and requires its most devoted viewers to study it for about an hour, from the middle of Valenica Street, by far the best vantage point.
That's Jimmy Corrigan....in case you are still in the dark:
Like a dead man walking I am lazing about my last day at home. I might venture out sooner or later. Maybe I'll finish reading the David Sedaris story in the New Yorker, maybe I'll pimp out my ipod for the flight tomorrow. All I knows is I've got a date with a masseuse and some thai food later on. There will most likely be some beach involved as well.

Actually, when Alexander Graham Bell first created the phone people were baffled on how to use it. The new technology presented challenges of how to answer the phone, what could be discussed, and what was the best use for the device.
Even today after a century of using the phone, businesses continue to enhance their learning of better phone techniques.
Now in the Internet age, the email represents the new technology we must master. Take home these email management tips to effectively take control of your email communications.
6 Simple Savvy Small Business Email TipsCollect' Em: With the low cost of email communications, email trumps more costly marketing methods such as direct mail and telephone. A study by Jupiter Research found email campaigns targeted with web analytics can produce 18 times the profits of broad mailings. Relentlessly collect customer and lead email addresses all the time. Use a contact management program to handle your growing list.
Remove Barriers: Customers want fast and easy communication from companies they want to do business with. Your website contact page should have your email address. Asking web visitors to fill in a form to send a simple mail will stop many in their tracks. Gather more customer information once you have gained the initial contact. If you are worried about being spammed, invest in a good spam protection program.
Avoid Sensitive Issues: Never handle sensitive issues by email. The chance for miscommunication can make matters worse. There are times when you need to pick up the phone or set up a face-to-face contact instead of taking the easy way out with email. When you are full of emotions, stay clear of your email.
Handle at Once: Don't fall into the trap of reading emails and thinking I'll respond later. Later never arrives and soon your inbox is full of important and unimportant mail. Scott Allen, Co-Author of "The Virtual Handshake" recommends "Most people configure their email reader to interrupt them every time an email comes in. This means you are interrupted throughout the day. Instead, we suggest keep your email reader closed most of the day. Only check email once a day."
Use the 10 Second Rule: We all lead busy, time-pressed lives. Receiving a long-winded email with one big paragraph creates a response to file for later use. Readers have a tendency to skim and miss critical details. Before you send out your email message, edit down to short sentences, add bullet points, and be concise. When someone opens your email they should be able to know within 10 seconds or less what your message is about.
It's the Law: Know the rules of using email in the business world. Be aware of the laws and regulations in your business, industry, country, and state surrounding email usage. Our world is becoming increasingly transparent and customers expect your small business to handle their data in a private and confidential manner.
Incorporating these 6 simple email tips will put you on the road to effective email management. Spend the time to master the essentials of email. Once the habit is established your small business will be email savvy.

Nancy Pelosi will not allow the House to impeach Trump.
Instead, citing the proximity to the 2020 election, she will claim she wants to leave it to the voters.
She knows the Senate will not remove Trump, and as long as Schiff is running the show, the Democrats have a free hand at slandering the President and Republicans in general.
But, if it goes to the Senate, Republicans will be calling the witnesses and controlling the debate. Schiff will be called as a witness, and will either have to admit the 'Whistleblower' was a setup by his office or he will have to perjure himself under oath before the Senate.
Hunter Biden will be called and the corruption of the Biden family will be on full display. Countless other skeletons will be dragged out for public view.
The Justice Dept investigations will have been completed and the Deep State operatives that had a part in obstructing normal operations of the State Dept, requiring alternate channels.
Numerous intelligence agency officials will be perjury trapped and referred for prosecution.
In short, the Democrats do not dare allow the other side a forum to be heard.
So, no impeachment and a sudden desire to 'get on with the people's business.'
Merry Christmas.

Micah Krop, along with fellow young food entrepreneur Megan Marley, showcase their products at Ontario County Fair
STANLEY — Micah Krop gets a few quizzical looks when explaining that his HoleFood Donuts are good for you.
But the 17-year-old home-schooled student from Stanley said once people try his homemade plant-based, high-protein and gluten-free breakfast treats, they find they're pretty good tasting.
"Basically, it's a vegan doughnut that is healthy, but it tastes like you're eating junk food," said his father, Bo Krop, who with wife Tanya owns Bota Fitness in Canandaigua.
Micah is in the food business thanks to his ingenuity and his participation in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy through Finger Lakes Community College. He was one of the graduates of the first class of the program a year ago and has created a business that he'd like to take as far as he can.
Bo Krop is no stranger to food; in addition to fitness he had started making protein bars to sell at the studio, which inspired Micah to come up with the doughnut business.
Micah said he makes the doughnuts at home, mixing the ingredients and popping them in the oven until they cool. Then he puts the toppings on.
The cinnamon sugar doughnut tastes a bit like a cider doughnut in the fall, although many people seem to like the maple, Micah said.
A typical doughnut may have about 200 calories, depending on the size, while a glazed doughnut tops out at nearly 250 calories, half of which is fat, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
So, many appreciate the health benefits of Micah's kitchen creations. According to Micah, each of his doughnuts contains fewer than 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fat. Each doughnut has 7 grams of protein and 125 calories.
Count LaToya Collins as a fan, as Micah's business is one of several success stories through the program, she said.
Collins, who is the YEA program manager at FLCC, said she remembers when each and every student tried the doughnut samples, including the guest instructor.
"There was not one person who didn't like the doughnut," Collins said. "I've been raving about them since my first sample. They're delicious."
Bo Krop said between his protein bars and his son's doughnuts, the gym can't keep up with the demand, which is why Micah, who in addition to making doughnuts also plays basketball and flag football, is hoping to get a certified kitchen and move the operation out of the home.
Who knows? Maybe a cafe or shop can be added on to the Bota Fitness site.
"I think people would like that, especially if they could get something healthy," Bo Krop said. "If there was a way where people could get up in the morning and get a cup of coffee and a doughnut and actually feel like they made a good decision, I think that would be awesome."
As Collins mentioned, Micah's is not the only food-based success story arising from the inaugural class of the FLCC program.
Megan Marley, who is entering her junior year at Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls, joined Micah in offering samples of their products at the recent Ontario County Fair.
Megan, who plays volleyball, basketball and lacrosse, started Peak Gum partly because she loves gum.
"As an athlete, I wanted something that would help me and other people like myself," Megan said. "So I found a way to mix both of these things and came up with the protein gum idea."
Protein, because athletes are in need of protein. And she named it Peak Gum because she wants athletes to reach their highest potential and so immediately thought of a mountaintop.
Megan has been making her gum at home. She's working on new flavors and new recipes at the moment, but has come out with cinnamon, peppermint, watermelon and citrus flavors — testing them out on her friends and family.
Right now she's working on a blueberry-tasting gum.
To make 30 pieces of gum, it takes her about 45 minutes.
"It's a long, rigorous process but once we get into manufacturing, it'll be simpler," she said.
But that may happen down the road, after graduating from high school.
"I want to go far with it, but at the moment I'm limited by resources and the amount of money I have right now," Megan said. "It's been a nice journey."
So, do you have what it takes to embark on an entrepreneur's journey?
To be accepted into the 25-week program (a new class starts in October), students in grades 6-12 and ages 11 to 18 take part in a 30-minute interview, Collins said.
They pitch their ideas to investors for help financing the business.
And at the end, they become real business owners like Micah and Megan, Collins said.
"I'm a broken record," Collins said. "I'm so proud of how far they've come and what they've developed since the program ended in May. They've expounded on the skills that they've learned and they're making great connections in the community."
Applications for the next Young Entrepreneurs Academy at Finger Lakes Community College are available at yeausa.org and are due by Sept. 8. Students need to provide a school transcript, an essay and a letter of recommendation. All students selected for the program will get a scholarship covering the full $995 tuition. Email email@example.com or visit flcc.edu/yea for information.

How to Change the Heater Core in a Buickby Daniel ValladaresUpdated November 07, 2017
Items you will need
Socket wrench
Phillips screwdriver
Your Buick vehicle has a heater core under the dashboard that heats up the air from the air conditioning unit before it is sent out by the blower. A faulty heater core can be a huge problem since it can cause coolant to leak out onto the passenger's side of the interior compartment or even cause white smoke to billow out of the Buick's air vents. Thankfully, replacing the heater core is fairly straightforward, although it will take more than one hour to complete.
Lift up your Buick's hood and disconnect its battery with a socket wrench.
Open the passenger-side door and remove the four screws from the kick panel underneath the glove box.
Remove the kick panel from the vehicle. Disconnect the two wiring connectors revealed by taking off the kick panel.
Open the glove box and remove its contents. Remove the screws securing the glove box to the dashboard and remove the glove box.
Pull down the flange to access the heater core. Remove the two bolts from the heater core case and lift off the case.
Disconnect the heater core's wiring connector. Remove its four securing screws with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the heater core from the vehicle.
Place a new heater core into the vehicle and reconnect the wiring connector. Reinstall the screws. Reattach the heater core case and install the bolts.
Reattach the kick panel and glove box and their screws. Reconnect the battery and close the Buick's hood.

Project Story
Strong Partnership Makes the Difference
The Old Time Candy story is one we have shared before. They have been a partner for many years and they have trusted us to guide them through many projects. This was their second replatforming project with us–a transition to Shopify Plus.
On-Site and Hands-On
On-sites with a partner give us valuable insights into the business. During the Old Time Candy on-site, we talked through the brand to truly understand how to balance retro with new design features.
We largely focused on how we could make an incremental changes to enhance the user experience and improve the issues we knew were a problem. They also wanted to infuse the energy and excitement of candy/packaging into the process. We walked through their warehouse and looked at their vintage collection of candy wrappers, packaging and displays to get a feel for it and were able to come back with some great takeaways to get us started.
We also discussed how the operations of their business worked. By gaining an understanding of back office operations, we created an admin experience that is both useful and efficient to staff. This was incredibly helpful to us so we could truly understand where bottlenecks were happening and we could develop solutions to fix them.
"There is nothing better than getting to experience a client's business first hand. We walked the candy aisles of the warehouse which served as an inspiration that helped shape the "Walk the Candy Aisle" experience on OldTimeCandy.com"
— DJ Henley, Gauge Project Manager
New Platform, Less Overhead
They were looking to move toward a less maintenance heavy platform, and wanted a quicker, more simplified mobile interface. This made the suggestion to move to Shopify Plus an easy choice. The shift to this platform would lower their total cost of ownership, reduce their development overhead, and allow their team to focus more on marketing their site than keeping up with infrastructure.
Transforming the Customer Experience
Old Time Candy had a mission to take their currently complicated platform and move to something more simple to use for their entire team and at the same time, they also wanted to take the opportunity to improve the user experience. The goal was to improve the user experience and increase conversion rates.
- User Testing revealed a lot of issues with checkout with many customers finding it difficult. Shopify's checkout streamlines the process and makes it much easier for customers to complete a purchase.
- We added simple horizontal filters to collection pages to ensure that customers are able to find and filter products, as well as to show more products per page.
- Pack-a-Bag feature was improved to help customers understand where they are in the checkout process.
- We added new overlay functionality to the quick ordering feature to ensure that customers get what they want, when they want it.
Creativity with Data Migration
With a large catalog of products, we had to get creative with Shopify to make it work. Old Time Candy has a few unique product types including personalized candy gift boxes and bulk candy. We discussed several methods during our data strategy. We realized that the client had put in many hours to make their products, catalog and CMS content work together in unison on their previous platform. We wanted to preserve their effort as much as possible and make it work on their new platform. Shopify Plus was able to adapt to this with some creativity and technical expertise. It's a common misconception that Shopify lacks certain technical chops when moving from the Magento platform, but this transition proved Shopify Plus was up to the challenge and we were able to make the transition with ease.
During data migration, the Gauge team migrated roughly 700 Magento product categories into Shopify smart collections and imported around 3000 products, along with product attributes including simple products, grouped products and products with options. It's important to note that despite how completely customizable a Magento catalog can be in terms of product configurations (with extensions), we're able to solve those problems with creativity and technical chops.
Other data migration included:
- CMS Content Migration
- WordPress to Shopify blog migration
- Custom configurable and customizable product types
- Thousands of URL redirects
- Candy Memories Blog derived from product attributes
- Custom search term redirects functionality
- Thousands of orders imported from two previous ecommerce platforms. The client is able to run historical data reports in Shopify using imported sales data.
- Over 100 thousand customer records migrated from two previous ecommerce platforms.
- Product reviews
Custom Features with Shopify Plus
Every client's business is different, bringing with it different challenges. There were several features on their previous site that we needed to address and create solutions for in Shopify Plus including:
- Delayed Delivery for Gifts in Cart
- Gift Message/Hand Written Gift Cards for Gifts in Cart
- Optional Donation to Water Wells for Africa in cart
- Custom Ice Brix Workflow
In addition to the features we created in the cart to promote delayed delivery, gift messaging, and optional donations, we built out some extensive workflows using the Flow app for orders needing Ice Brix. This was an important challenge. Old Time Candy uses Ice Brix for shipping perishable items long distances during the hot summer months. No one wants to receive melted chocolate. The team at Old Time Candy had been relying on their customer service team to identify orders with meltable items and to manually select the amount of Ice Brix needed for each order, this process was timely and costly.
With Shopify Plus however, they were able to accomplish something that would have been cost prohibitive in Magento. Using the Flow App, our team was able to create a workflow that adds Ice Brix to the customer's order based on certain order attributes (i.e. if the item is meltable). This triggers an automated workflow that runs and checks what zone an order is located in based on OldTimeCandy.com's delivery map. All that is required for customer service now, is to look at the shipping segment and fulfill orders that could ship by end of week or holding off on fulfilling those that can't. This process makes fulfillment faster and more efficient, all the while not sacrificing the delivery of the candy safely to the customer. We would count this as a big win for Old Time Candy.
Key Results
Overall, the project was a success. Old Time Candy is happy with their transition and they find that their customers and staff are having a better experience when using their website.
