Percussionists inadvertently use visual information to strategically manipulate audience perception of note duration. Videos of long (L) and short (S) notes performed by a world renowned percussionist were separated into visual (Lv, Sv) and auditory (La, Sa) components. Visual components contained only the gesture used to perform the note, auditory components the acoustic note itself. Audio and visual components were then crossed to create realistic musical stimuli.
Our first step was to split about the moment of impact, and recombine them to create two new "hybrid" gestures:
The short-long gesture (containing motion from the short gesture up until the moment of impact, then containing motion from the long gesture), and the long-short gesture (containing motion from the long gesture up until the moment of impact, then containing motion from the short gesture).
What if the sound and video do not go together in time? How far could one "offset" the sound from the moment of impact, either before or after, until the video no longer had any influence on the perceived duration of the sound? We designed this study to answer these questions.
Split gestures
Which part of the gesture influences the perceived duration of the note-- the portion before impact, the portion after impact, or maybe some kind of mix of the two? This experiment addresses that question.
Could the responses we have seen so far be due to what we call "response bias?" In other words, what if people don't actually hear the note as longer or shorter, they just say it was longer or shorter because the video was long or short? Maybe they don't hear the notes differently at all! In this case, the differences in perceived note length that participants report would not mean what we think they mean. We think they mean that participants really perceive the note differently when different videos go with it. Maybe, though, they just say they did.
Single dots recorded from key joint locations are capable of accurately conveying biological motion. (Johansson, 1973). Consequently, we created psuedo point-light abstractions of the original gestures to allow for further testing of this illusion. These animations represented only the mallet head, hand, elbow, and shoulder, and were capable of accurately reproducing the original illusion.
Given that this illusion is both useful for musicians and informative for psychologists, we were interested in learning which aspects of the motion in the videos accounts for it. This question has both theoretical and practical applications, as it can (1) help to explain our unusual patterns of sensory integration, and (2) provide useful information for performing musicians interested in incorporating such gestures into their performances.
To this end, we designed four experiments which ultimately demonstrate the illusion is driven primarily by the timing of the post-impact motion. In the first experiment we found that only the second half of the strike matters. In the second experiment we found that the horizontal motion of the strike is not necessary, and that a rebound must occur. In the third experiment we found that time is the only variable out of velocity, distance, and time that matters. Finally, in the fourth experiment we found that acceleration and its derivative (jerk) do not affect the duration ratings.

"There was something magical about this peer-centered learning and teaching approach. Students were given space to bring in their own lived experiences."
— Saron Selassie, MPH '17
A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT HAS PRIORITIZED THE INCREASE OF DEPORTATION of undocumented immigrants has thrust immigrant health into the forefront as a public health issue. "What used to be a simple traffic stop is now more likely to result in immigrants being apprehended, detained and possibly deported," says Maria-Elena Young, a doctoral candidate in FSPH's Department of Community Health Sciences (CHS). "This is a major health concern not just for individuals who are apprehended and their family members, but also for immigrants whose distrust and feelings of insecurity weigh on their mental and physical health."
Last June, students in the class CHS296, "Immigrant Health in an Era of Mass Deportation," explored the impact of the U.S. immigration detention and deportation systems on health inequities among immigrant communities, with a focus on better understanding their role as future public health professionals. In addition to learning about and discussing the issues, the students took field trips to a migrant shelter in Tijuana, Mexico and a detention center in Adelanto, California. They met guest speakers representing immigrant-rights advocacy groups — potential partners in their future public health work.
Beyond the highly topical nature of the material, what made CHS 296 especially notable was that it was student-driven. Young, whose doctoral research focuses on how immigrants' health is affected by their legal status and the policies related to detention and deportation, facilitated the course under the supervision of Dr. Steven P. Wallace, professor of CHS. Because of her research, Young was approached by a group of MPH students that included those who had developed and facilitated the first offering of CHS 296 in the spring of 2016, "We Gon' Be Alright: Addressing Racism and Anti-black Violence as a Public Health Crisis," under the supervision of Dr. Gilbert Gee, CHS professor.
During the 2014-15 academic year, against the backdrop of a series of controversial deaths of black people at the hands of police and the civil unrest that was unfolding around the issues of anti-black violence and racism, a group of FSPH students began to explore how timely social issues might connect to their public health curriculum. "Prior to coming in as students, some of us had participated in activist work and had been tackling health disparities in different contexts," says Sarah Jane Smith (MPH '17), part of the student group. "We were looking for a forum to discuss it and grapple with our role in addressing these issues as aspiring public health professionals."
The students approached Wallace, then chair of the CHS department, and the result was a current events-related student-led course — specifically, for the first year, on anti-black violence and racism. Seven MPH students, in consultation with Gee, developed a syllabus for the course and served as facilitators. In addition to guest lecturers who brought in their expertise, students in the course shared their own perspectives and led discussions.
"There was something magical about this peer-centered learning and teaching approach," says Saron Selassie (MPH '17), one of the course facilitators. "Students were given space to bring in their own lived experiences. They came prepared to engage in the material and speak honestly, and after every class we all stayed late, just unpacking what we had discussed and hanging out." By the end, Selassie says, students demonstrated much more confidence in their ability to explain why racism is a public health issue, as well as a commitment to ensuring that others in their future workplace are aware of its importance and the need to address it.
A similar focus on raising awareness and providing tools for social action guided the 2017 version of CHS 296, on mass deportation. "This was somewhat different from what we usually do in public health, in that we were focusing on the U.S. immigration system as a way to understand the public health impact," Young says. "I wanted to connect that understanding of the immigration system with where the students would be working, so that they will be able to educate others and serve as catalyzing forces for change."
For Young, facilitating the course was an opportunity to synthesize topics she has studied for several years and to think about ways to convey not only foundational information, but also skills and strategies that the students can use to be effective advocates in the future. "All of the students came in with a strong commitment to immigrant health — many were immigrants themselves, and had personal stories to share," she says. "It was a beautiful mesh of the personal, political and academic." Four of the student facilitators of the course on racism and anti-black violence — Smith and Selassie, along with Sally Saleh (MPH '16) and Amelia Fay-Berquist (MPH '16) — spoke on their experience to a packed session at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Public Health Association. They were later contacted by students at other schools of public health seeking guidance on student-led courses and other potential actions to address structural inequities and racism as a public health issue. The FSPH students also worked with the Department of Community Health Sciences and the FSPH Diversity Committee to support Young's mass deportation course and institutionalize a student initiated topics course each year.
"We are excited to see students lead courses that are both about deep learning and how that learning can be applied to action in the field," says Dr. Jody Heymann, dean of the Fielding School. "Beyond the skills gained by the students who are teaching, when these courses are successful, they markedly increase the ability of all participating to address some of the most critical issues of our time."

Seacoast Repertory Theatre presents Evita, a captivating story of power and femininity by giants of Broadway. Evita is a grand spectacle sure to enthrall and dazzle audiences. When Eva Perón died, every flower shop in Buenos Aires was out of stock within a day. Crowds stretched for 10 blocks, trampling one another to catch a glimpse of her body. Adored by her nation, they set about building a monument that would have been larger than the Statue of Liberty. She was, in all the important ways, sainted by the people of Argentina.
But what about the woman behind image – the woman who went from nothing to the most revered woman in her nation? Was she a saint? Was she a harlot? Is the truth somewhere in between the facts and the fame? This is her story. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Evita charts the rags-to-riches rise of the real-life First Lady of Argentina, who won the adoration and scorn of her country after climbing the social ladder to marry petty dictator Juan Perón.
Set in Buenos Aires between 1934-1952, the musical follows Eva Duarte Perón on her journey from fatherless child to ambitious actress to the most powerful woman in Latin America—and, eventually, to a saint-like figure after her death from cancer at 33. The events in Evita's life are presented in song and editorialized on by the show's revolutionary narrator, Che. Featuring some of the best loved songs in the musical theater songbook, including Don't Cry For Me Argentina, On This Night of a Thousand Stars, Oh What A Circus, You Must Love Me, and Another Suitcase in Another Hall, this smash hit show truly promises to be elevated to new heights on our intimate stage.
Evita is cast authentically from all over the North East, and directed with unique and colorful vision by Lexi Meunier, co-founder and artistic director of the Pine Street Players. Her past credits include The Glass Menagerie, Into The Woods, and Little Women. Meunier's unique vision will be brought to vivid life with set design by The Mad Men of Oopsy Daisy Inc! and costume design by Teresa Botticelli.
Evita explores adult themes and depictions of sexuality and power, particularly in the Act One number "Goodnight and Thank You," earning this production the equivalent of a PG-13 rating. Children may not be as captivated as adults by Evita, but parents can determine whether the musical is suitable for young or tween theater-goers.
Showtimes are Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. A preview performance will be held on Nov. 29. Tickets are available online below, or through the box office at 603-433-4472. Box office hours are Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. or through showtimes. Seacoast Repertory Theatre is a professional regional theater located in the heart of Downtown Portsmouth at 125 Bow St. The lobby is open one hour before the show, with doors to the theater opening one half hour before curtain. The lobby features a full bar and concessions. Parking is available nearby on-street or at the Hanover Street garage. Handicap seating is available. Evita is sponsored by Lowe's Home Improvement

Independent review
Poor man's Porsche or the world's finest all-round driver's sportscar? Jonathan Crouch checks out the Porsche 718 Cayman coupe.Ten Second Review
This latest 718 Cayman ditches the old flat six engine in favour of a more efficient turbocharged four cylinder powerplant, yet still offers more power. As for the name, well in case you were wondering, the '718' reference refers not to the engine but a series of classic Porsche mid-engined models that won numerous races in the 1950s and '60s. Enough with the briefing; what's this car like?Background
As ever, Porsche determinedly refutes suggestions that what we have here is simply 'a Boxster with a roof' but that's essentially what it boils down to. Not that there's much wrong with that, the exemplary handling balance of the brand's entry-level model enhanced by a body almost twice as stiff, enough to make this car the darling of the red mist brigade in the motoring press, if not as strong a seller as its maker would have liked. So what to do? Porsche could certainly make this car quicker, even sharper to drive, more efficient to run and higher tech to use - and sure enough, all of that was done for the launch of the original version of this third generation model, back in 2013. It wasn't quite enough, even with the subsequent launch of more focused GTS and GT4 versions. Will this 718 version fare any better? It'll be interesting to see...Driving Experience
So, what's it like? Well, the cabin envelopes you like a proper sports car should. You sit low, and there are no seats behind you; just a bulkhead that separates you from the new flat four turbo engine, just thirty centimetres from the small of your back. That'll be either a 2.0-litre 300bhp unit if you've opted for the standard Cayman or a 2.5-litre 350bhp powerplant if you've chosen the Cayman S. If you're wondering, that's now equal to what you'd get from the same engines fitted to equivalent Boxster models. Both powerplants are, as before, mid-mounted, that being the major point of differentiation between this Cayman and its pricier 911 stablemate, which has its powerplant slung out behind the back wheels. Here, in contrast, it's hunkered down in the middle of the car, something that has all sorts of beneficial effects on this car's handling dynamics. Even if you don't plan to thrash round the Nurburgring, you'll notice a balance and friendliness to a driving experience that feels, well, just right. You'll be wanting some numbers. The basic 2.0-litre Cayman with a PDK auto 'box and the Sport Chrono package will accelerate to 62mph in 4.7 seconds and run onto 170mph. Go to the other extreme and plump for a 2.5-litre Cayman S with PDK and Sport Chrono and you'll be able to demolish the 62mph sprint in just 4.2 seconds with the engine pulling strongly from 4,000rpm and taking on a lovely guttural bark as the revs rise towards the red line and the cars hurls itself on towards a top speed of 177mph.Turn-in is crisp at whatever speed you choose and body roll's well contained too. What we have here is a masterclass in sportscar excellence.Design and Build
Does it look like a 911? The uninitiated might think so but visually at least, the Cayman is no longer a lesser, rather clumsy copy of that car. As for the '718' series changes, your eye is immediately drawn to the nose with its much sharper profile and ultra-slim Bi-Xenon front lights above the air intakes. In profile, there are strikingly sculptured wheel-arches and side sills - and a wider look to the rear, emphasised by a high-gloss black strip with integrated Porsche badge between the redesigned tail lights. Behind the wheel, the upper part of the dash panel including the air vents is new. The smarter sports steering wheel is fashioned in a '918 Spyder' design. Plus an extensive range of connectivity options have been added to the 718 cockpit, along with the Porsche Communication Management infotainment system as (at last) a standard feature. Mobile phone preparation, audio interfaces and the 150-watt Sound Package Plus are all part of this package. Practicality remains as before, with a 275-litre boot out back and a further 150-litre compartment in the front. That means a 425-litre total that's actually more than you get in a Volkswagen Golf. A two-seater Porsche sportscar that carries more gear than your average family hatch? The surprises keep on coming.Market and Model
What Porsche advertise the Cayman at and what it rolls out of dealerships costing are usually two quite different things but in terms of list pricing, if you think of the base 2.0-litre model as costing around £40,000 and the 2.5-litre S variant as being pitched at about £50,000, then you won't go too far wrong. To save you checking, that means that at last, a Cayman is priced at exactly the same level as its Boxster open-topped counterpart. The standard Cayman features 19" alloy wheels, auto stop/start and sports mode, an audio CD system with colour touch-screen control, a universal audio interface offering MP3 connectivity and a three year warranty. A central feature of the new interior is Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with mobile phone preparation, audio interfaces and the Sound Package Plus with 110 watts of audio power. PCM can be extended with optional modules to thoroughly adapt it to personal requirements. For instance, the navigation module including voice control is available, which makes it easy to input driving destinations. In addition, the Connect Plus module is available as an extension of the navigation module; it provides online navigation services and enhanced online audio features. With Porsche Vehicle Tracking System Plus (PVTS+) as standard, the 718 Cayman offers the highest class of vehicle security. All new Cayman customers also get the opportunity to explore the potential of their car by participating in a complimentary course at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone. It's hard to imagine a more enjoyable day you could spend with your new toy.Cost of Ownership
So to the efficiency figures. The launch of the 718 Cayman represents a return by the brand to building sports coupes with flat four-cylinder 'boxer' engines. The addition of a turbocharger significantly boosts torque while improving fuel economy. In the 2.0-litre 718 Cayman, the four-cylinder flat engine with PDK has a Combined fuel consumption figure of just over 40mpg (around 5mpg better than the previous model). In the 2.5-litre 718 Cayman S, the 2.5-litre turbo engine with PDK returns just under 40mpg combined (around 4mpg better than the previous model). CO2 emissions vary across the range in the 160 to 185g/km bracket. Each 718 model is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard. The Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) auto transmission, which now features fuel-saving 'virtual gears' previously introduced on the 911 model series, is available as an option. The PDK transmission features a 'sailing' mode whereby the engine is decoupled during periods of trailing throttle or on longer downhill sections, dropping the engine revs to a mere 700rpm, further saving fuel. Prod the throttle and it will instantly resume duty. Residual values have held up reasonably well on the last Cayman and there's no reason to believe that this model won't follow suit. Here, it seems, is a car you can buy with your head as well as your heart.Summary
Whether this improved Cayman can finally upstage its pricier 911 stablemate - or indeed whether this is the car a modern 911 really should be.... well, we can't help wondering whether these are really irrelevant questions. If you like one of these Porsches, you'll probably be unconvinced by the other, with fundamental differences that are small but highly significant. As ever, perhaps a closer rival to the 718 Cayman is the car it was designed upon - the 718 Boxster, which drives almost as well and offers the option of open-top summer driving. Ultimately, what it boils down to is that Porsche has two brilliant cars on its books and as problems go, that's not a bad one to have. What's not in doubt is that the Cayman makes the dilemma of where to spend a sports coupe budget limited in the £40,000 to £50,000 bracket about as straightforward as it can be. In the real world, it's one of the quickest cars you can drive and one that makes you feel special every time you sit in it. True, the asking price isn't cheap, the options are expensive and there are more powerful rivals that cost the same. But it's also true that for the money, nothing else offers as complete a driving experience.

iOS version is useless
Every time I open the app, I get a little message at the bottom saying "Setting up app to work offline. This may take a few minutes" - if I'm lucky. If not, the app will be stuck on a loading screen for several minutes before finally prompting me to reset OWA. I have the latest updates, and my iPhone's WiFi connection is working properly, so there is no reason I should keep having this issue.

Unread messages
I think it would be good to allow the unread messages to be a part of the favorites. I have favorite file saved; they appear on the top of my list. Being able to have unread like I have on my PC allows me to navigate faster between inbox and unread. I know I can tap on the right hand corner and flag unread - just thought this option will also be a good thing to have.
Last thing, instead of having the tab on the right hand corner to toggle between unread messages etc... in the top middle shows Inbox; why not place a drop down menu there or a tap function to switch there between inbox and unread messages? Just a thought. I'm always looking for what's convenient for me. Then again who doesn't.

Don't Confuse Varicose Veins With Spider Veins
Hello, and welcome back to our blog! Here at New Beginnings Medical, we want to help as many Florida area residents as possible by providing the best medical spa services that we can. You see, we understand that while a condition may not be life threatening, it may be enough of an issue that it affects a person's self confidence when they look in the mirror and see a reflection staring back at them that they are less than pleased with. One of the most common procedures that we perform at our many locations is spider vein removal. Spider veins, for the most part, are not harmful to any individual, however, they can affect how a person feels about their appearance and, in our opinion, that is something that a person should not have to deal with if they don't have to. In the many years that we have been offering spider vein removal at our clinics, we have also had to answer many questions about the difference between spider veins and varicose veins. So that everyone is on the same page when they visit one of our clinics, we are going to use today's post to go over the differences between spider veins and varicose veins. Keep reading to learn more.
Similar Causes, Different Appearance
Unfortunately, spider veins and varicose veins are often confused with one another. This makes sense when you consider the fact that both conditions are similar, however, it is important to understand the difference between these two conditions in order to understand the treatment options that are available to a patient. Varicose veins, by definition, are veins where the valves located within the veins themselves are diseased and do not fully close to prevent blood in the vein from flowing in the wrong direction. Because of these faulty valves, the veins will start to bulge and often appear blue or purple in appearance. Spider veins, on the other hand, are smaller, discolored veins that have a spider web-like appearance. Spider veins are often caused by the same set of circumstances that lead to varicose veins, however, they are further influenced by heredity, pregnancy, obesity, and menopause.
Warning Signs
Often times, people will begin to experience certain warning signs that are indicative of spider vein or varicose vein development without realizing it. For spider veins, a person may feel minor burning or itching at the site where the veins are experiencing issues. With varicose vein development, a person may start to experience an abnormal amount of leg cramps, a feeling of heaviness in the legs, and burning, throbbing, or tingling around the areas where blood flow in the veins has been impeded. In some extreme cases of varicose vein development, skin ulcers will appear, especially around the ankle area. If you have noticed any of these symptoms, we highly recommend that you go visit your doctor immediately to determine whether or not you are developing varicose veins or spider veins.
What Can We Do To Help?
Here at New Beginnings Medical, we are more than happy to help patients reduce the appearance of their spider veins through the use of sclerotherapy. It is important to note that we only treat patients with spider veins and that we are currently unable to perform the treatment necessary to reduce varicose veins. If you would like to learn more about our spider vein treatment and whether or not you are a candidate for this procedure, please contact us today. We will work with you to come up with the best treatment option for your spider veins and help you achieve the cosmetic appearance that you desire.

Corrosion Control
In conjunction with good monitoring, the Nalco Water Intercept program can reduce or eliminate corrosion and the resultant fouling and foaming. This, in turn, helps improve amine unit reliability and efficiency, extend run lengths, increase throughput and maximize energy efficiency. The overall result is a reduction in the refinery's TCO and a significant improvement in Return on Investment (ROI).
Foam Control
Foaming in an amine unit can reduce adsorption and/or stripping efficiencies and compromise the optimum performance of the unit. Foaming is typically a symptom of other significant process problems such as corrosion, hydrocarbon contamination and other upstream influences. Nalco Water antifoams are used to address immediate operational issues while the root causes are addressed, allowing the unit to maintain throughput and operational efficiencies. Antifoams are used on a continuous or intermittent basis and do not interfere with unit operations.

'Making a Difference – Meet Councillor Zainab Kamara'
Councillor Zainab Kamara
In Koinadugu District, North of Sierra Leone, the involvement and leadership of women in development has been relatively smaller. Most women engaged in business, to generate income and support their communities, but that doesn't address the exclusion of women in the mainstream of development. Zainab developed the passion and dedication to lead, in order to inspire women and promote gender equality and social inclusion in Koinadugu District. However, the opportunity to lead was not available.
SABI works in Koinadugu District, to continue giving citizen's a voice, improve accountability and building relationships between service providers and service users.
With a strong emphasis on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), SABI engaged communities, councils and other MDAs in Koinadugu, on the need to prioritize inclusion for all, including other issues related to transparency and accountability to excluded groups.
This motivated Zainab Kamara to step up and contest for Councillorship in ward 145, on a mission to empower women and involve them in the mainstream of development.
She said; "Women's political participation results in tangible gains for democracy, including greater responsiveness to the needs of citizen, increased cooperation across party and ethnic lines, and a more sustainable future. Women's participation in politics helps advance gender equality, social inclusion and affects both the range of policy issues that get considered and the types of solutions that are proposed."
As a vibrant leader and Councillor for ward 145, Zainab Kamara has created a platform in communities, where issues and incidents involving women are discussed. She works closely with the SABI programme, and other development partners in Koinadugu District, to maximise inclusion for women and reduce gender base violence in ward 145, Koinadugu District.
"the intervention of SABI, with Gender Equality and Social Inclusion, inspired me and added value to my work", she concluded
On international Women's Day, SABI shines a light on Councillor Zainab Kamara for championing Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in ward 145, Koinadugu District.

Did you really believe Sugar would give you better health, greater fat loss and make you feel younger…?
Sugar takes a devastating toll on your health. Excessive sugar consumption is the largest contributor to obesity and chronic disease in this country.
What exactly makes this simple and sweet ingredient pack such a sinister punch?
Sugar is made up of glucose and fructose. Glucose is the fuel your body needs (every living thing on earth, including bacteria, needs glucose for energy, but the problem is not the glucose; it's the fructose. Table sugar is 55% fructose and 45% glucose.
Your body metabolizes fructose much differently than glucose. Fructose doesn't go through the normal channels; instead, your liver metabolizes it.
Here, excess fructose is quickly converted into fat, which explains the weight gain, especially in the abdominal region (or the dreaded belly fat).
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the primary cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver, elevating uric acid, which in turn raises your blood pressure, stresses your kidneys, and leads to chronic, low-level inflammation.
Inflammation is at the center of most chronic diseases. In other words, fructose is alcohol "without the buzz."
In the 1700s, the average person consumed 4 pounds of sugar a year (around 15 grams of sugar)
In the 1800s, the average person consumed 18 pounds of sugar per year.
In the 1900s, the average person consumed 90 pounds of sugar per year.
Today: ¼ of our population eats ½ pound a sugar PER DAY… That's 182 pounds of sugar per year, or 225 grams of sugar per day!
The following are just a few sweeteners on the market:
Sucralose (Splenda) is NOT a sugar. Its sugar-like name is deceptive. In its advertising, the slogan "made from sugar" is there to deceive the public. It's a chlorinated artificial sweetener. More studies are needed, but it looks like if you do eat this, you need to take a probiotic.
Honey is about 53 percent fructose, but it is completely natural in its raw form and has many health benefits (when used in moderation), including possessing as many antioxidants as spinach. (Read again: USE IN MODERATION)
Agave syrup, HIGHLY processed and is usually 80% fructose.
Stevia is a highly sweet herb derived from the leaf of the South American Stevia plant, which is completely safe (in its natural form).
Lo han (or luohanguo) is another natural sweetener, but derived from a Chinese fruit called Monk Fruit.
Artificial sweeteners like aspartame, neotame, saccharin, Equal ==> AVOID AT ALL COSTS![pro_ad_display_adzone id="8825″]
We recommend that if you are going to eat sweets, make your own and sweeten them with Stevia. It will not increase your glucose levels nor mess up your hormones.
According to a study1 published by Reuters, if you eat 18% of your total calories coming from sugar you will double your risk of getting diabetes.
So on a 2,000 calorie diet (per day), that's 360 calories of sugar or 2 fruit juices per day… or a single Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino.
But it gets worse. If 25% of your calories come from sugar, you have now doubled your chances of dying from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), the number 1 killer in this country.

According to a special Mastercard Shopping Behavior Study released recently, e-commerce is finally making its mark in the Middle East, and how. The UAE leads the table with just above 50% of consumers reporting that they had used an e-commerce platform. With around 70% of the UAE's population connected to the internet, and with almost 75% with smartphones, that is no surprise. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are followers on the leader board with nearly 48% saying they have transacted online. The study was based on a survey of 3000 people.
Areas where people use e-commerce include shopping for air tickets and other travel-oriented services, DVDs, CDs and books, clothing and accessories and food items. These have always been e-commerce favorites – anywhere in the world.
Shopping transactions via mobile phones are also expected to grow strongly in the region, increasing by almost 20% in the next few years. That, again is not surprising with the smartphone-in-wallet ratios climbing steeply every month. Telcos are now tempting consumers with bundled data+handset offers, and this only means that there will be sharp increases in what we call m-commerce (e-commerce via mobile).

What emerges as good news for the local e-commerce platforms is that more than 50% of those surveyed say that they prefer to shop from local websites rather than international platforms. Hello souq.com, not so happy amazon... Having said that amazon and ebay are still 3 and 4 on the top 5 list of shopping destinations in the region according to Paypal.
Earlier, those of us in the advertising, marketing and media industries have always side-stepped e-commerce citing reasons such as lack of consumer confidence in security, lack of access to information on products sold and delivery issues.
That perception has changed. Paypal tells us that the e-commerce market is set to grow from US $11.2 billion today to US $15 billion by 2015 – with over 30 million people in the region now shopping online. Speaking of Paypal, it is rather interesting to note that Cash on Delivery corners 80% of e-commerce shopping, with Payment Cards second at 15% and Paypal at 5%. Regionally, Paypal predict a growth to cornering 15% of this share by 2015. But COD (Cash at the Door) being king so far, it still points to two things – fear of online monetary transacting, and the need for checking the product at delivery or that tactile feel.
"The steady growth of online shopping trends in the UAE sheds light on the priorities of the technology-savvy new age consumer, who now enjoys the convenience, speed, value for money and safety of their transactions while shopping online," added Oliver.
What will be crucial for Middle East e-commerce platforms to succeed in the future is to make the user experience both exciting and value-adding at the same time. Many of the local sites pay very little attention to usability, and UX and UI are greek to them. If I were to develop a whole new platform, that's where I would start. Keeping the experience simple, visually enticing and rewarding, clean, clear and informative – and memorable. Making one come back and buy again, and again.
See useful comment by usability expert Amol Kadam below...
How does this change the Middle East shopping landscape? Are brands going to jump on and perhaps open up their own stores online offering Direct-to-Customer benefits of lower prices and assured quality? Are major aggregator online retailers going to increase their product spectrum? Is it going to be a local rather than global game? We're not quite sure yet. And we'll deliver that news to you as and when it happens. It will be Cash on Delivery, though.

Oh my goodness, being a photographer can be way too complicated at times, can't it!
And whether you're just starting out on that path or a seasoned pro, I'm pretty sure you've already figured that bit out!
It all sounds so much fun and exciting, but you get caught up in edits, juggling admin, working out what jobs to do and when….and that's all still whilst seeing friends and family, paying bills on time, and keeping your home life as chaotic-free as possible (which is basically, impossible!)
Well, if you're nodding your head in agreement to any of the above, and wishing there was some solution to this crazy balancing act, these little tips below are hopefully gonna help.
I've been in the storm of that craziness, on countless occasions, trying to balance everything at the same time, and it's hard. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. But if you love photography, then you can make your work life and your home life blend together a lot easier by just implementing a few of these tips and tricks that I've stored up my sleeve.
These tips are here to help make your life simpler. That doesn't mean effortless.! 'Simple' often requires a whole lot of effort to follow through and make it habit. But once it's habit, then it's a lot easier to make it part of your everyday life!
So without further ado, let's take a look at this list to help you out…
Hello lovelies, please note that this page might contain affiliate links. You can see my full disclaimer here x
1. Follow a pre-shoot check
Don't assume all's going to be fine with your kit because it was the last time you used it. Get a little pre-shoot routine going and run through a checklist of everything you need. That might include checking your battery (and having a charged spare) memory cards, cleaning your lenses, packing a tripod, spare flash gun, making sure your reflector is clean etc
2. Pack water and a snack in your kit bag
Sounds obvious, right? Or pointless perhaps? But you can never predict when a photoshoot will overrun, when you can't make it home between jobs, or when you're just out and about and forget to eat in the creativity of the moment! Pack a couple of oat or healthy fruit or nut bars in your bag, to make sure you can always keep your energy levels up.
Same goes for water. Now, obviously, you don't want this too close to your gear, but either leave a fresh bottle in the car, or strap one to the outside of your photo bag. Photoshoots might be outdoors with no tap or nearby shop, or you may just get stuck with a socially-unaware client who forgets to offer you a drink. You own water keeps you hydrated at any time.
3. Get a purse organiser
Grab yourself a handy bag that has everything you need for everyday – spare credit card or cash, lip balm, hand lotion, tissues or wipes, hairband for long hair etc. Don't waste time on this small stuff before a shoot when you can just have a grab bag and go
4. Listen to podcasts and audio books
As photographers, our eyes get a helluva strain. Constantly looking through a lens, on an edit screen, or on our mobiles maxing out social media and emails, there's no rest for our little peepers.
So, download podcasts and audio books for downtime. It'll help switch your focus away from the visual in your life and hopefully calm you a little too, as you drift away into an audio escape. Whatever you fancy, comedy, drama, thriller, music – just don't turn to your phone or TV all of the time when you want to relax (- I know, I know, it's hard, Netflix is amazing!)
5. Book regular eye tests
When was the last time you took a trip to the optician or optometrist? You might feel like your sight is in perfect working order, or that your current prescription lenses are doing their job. But why risk it? You use your eyes sooo much on a daily basis, that it makes sense to take proper care of them and ensure you're not putting them under undue strain when a simple change in specs might make all the difference.
And on that note, kepe a little bottle of eye drops to hand to refresh those peepers (especially when you're working in air-conditioned offices or outside in the winds
6. Make time for quiet time
Take some time each day, just 5 minutes even, to close your eyes, sit in a quiet room and meditate.
Don't worry if you don't know 'how' to meditate. Meditation, at its most basic, is finding that stillness and calm. Remove the 'noise' from your head and soul, and allow your mind & body to feel relaxed.
Follow your breath – listen to it, feel it fully, and release tension with every outward breath. I'll be talking about the lovely benefits of meditation in another post, so keep a lookout x
7. Embrace the cloud
I had my trusty portable hard-drives with me for years before I switched to the cloud. And I can't believe I didn't switch sooner! Google Drive and One Drive both provide terrific online storage options and price plans – I'm pretty sure both still offer free storage to a certain level, so check them both out.
It just means that at the end of each shoot and edit, you can upload and then access your files anywhere & anytime. And bonus, you avoid having duplicate files scattered around the place and not knowing which is the right one!
8. Set up your own edit system
I'm not even going to attempt to cross the minefield that is 'software choice', because I know that everyone has a favourite they couldn't do without. But regardless of which software you do choose, set up your own system.
Be consistent with how you upload, edit and export. Keep track of your files and your storage of them (hopefully on the Cloud, right!) and you'll soon find that you're in a good habit.
Plus, when it comes to finding files at a much later date, hopefully your naming system (and meta tagging if you use it) will really come into its own then.
9. Always carry a business card
So you're out and about, at the supermarket or the park or a kid's birthday party… and someone you're chatting with says they need a photographer. They ask if you know one… Amazing! YOU'RE a photographer AND you have your business card on you, right in your purse or pocket!
Don't fumble for a notepad & pen to scribble down your number – just carry 5 cards around with you and you'll never be short. It looks professional, appears organized, and will instill confidence in the person you're talking to, right from the get-go.
10. Keep a planner
A planner doesn't have to be as rigid as a diary. It's not about dates or meetings or schedules. It's more than that. A planner lets you mark down appointments sure, but also goals for that week, admin that needs to be done, clients you need to contact, kit you're seen that you like, budget plans for the month ahead, exhibitions you want to see, books you want to read, music that inspires you …. you get the idea 🙂 And it's not restricted to a day, month or year even – it can be kept as long as you need it.
In short, a planner helps get everything out of your head and onto paper – where you can then see it in all its glory, and start actioning little steps one at a time.
One of my fave notebooks for this is this dotted notebook – it has numbered pages, plus an index page at the front so you can scribble all your page content down – a time saver, trust me! And it comes in loads of gorgeous colours, so you're spoiled for choice!
So there you have it – 10 steps to simplify your photography life.
But I wouldn't leave you just like that! If you'd like the Photography Life Planner PDF then pop in your email and I'll send it to you for free!
You can print out a few copies if you like, and that way have lots of weeks and months planned to help you make life simpler and happier.
With my happy photo love,
Feel free to leave a comment and share your thoughts…

We've come to know, thanks to Razor TV's John Lui's interview with the cast of "Fast and Furious 6", that cars in Singapore are obscenely expensive.
But that doesn't mean you're going to see a dearth of these vehicles in that country. See, Singapore's pretty rich and a lot of the people there have some full pockets.
Including, apparently, one Ms. Angela Tan.
Not only does she have deep pockets, but Tan also has a fine taste in exotics, which is especially evident after she plopped down a cool SGD$5.3 million for the chance to own the 2013 Koenigsegg Agera S. To help you out a little, that's around $4.2 million based on current exchange rates.
Angela Tan's Agera S was officially unveiled at the Ritz Carlton Millenia over the weekend, which was attended by some 200 lucky VIPs. None of them, it seems, is luckier than Angela Tan, who now has the distinction of owning the most expensive car ever sold in Singapore.
Click past the jump to read about the Koenigsegg Agera S
Koenigsegg Agera S
When you're talking about a car like the Koenigsegg Agera S, the first thing that comes to mind are performance numbers; insane numbers at that. Never mind the fact that Koenigsegg installed just about every expensive material in the auto industry these days into this rare supercar.
What really makes this exotic such a stunner is its 5.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine. You know; the same one that develops 1,040 horsepower at 7,100 rpm and 811 pound0feet of torque at 4,100 rpm. If those numbers aren't good enough, consider this: the Agera S can launch to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 248.5 mph when it's fully flexing its muscles.
Only a handful of cars in this world can match wits with that, which is to say that the Agera S is, in fact, all about the numbers.

Last night, the main supporter groups of the Hong Kong national team have been informed by the HKFA that there are no tickets left to accommodate their away trip to attend the 2nd leg of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup in Guangzhou on January 7th. This comes as a big surprise, as these fan clubs have made ticket arrangements with the FA well in advance.
Meanwhile, there are reports that the allocated away tickets have been given to VIP guests. In addition, 300 tickets have been provided to a patriotic youth group in Hong Kong, packaged as a free whole-day Guangzhou tour for which everyone between the age of 12 and 35 can sign up.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the most dedicated fans in Hong Kong have been slapped in the face: Only few fans were able to secure tickets for the away game in Shenzhen during the World Cup qualifying game in 2015, with most seats being occupied by organized tour groups consisting mainly of retirees. In 2017, Eastern fans were barred from attending the first and historic match of their club in the Asian Champions League against Evergrande in Guangzhou. Instead, the Foshan-based Eastern sponsor arranged employees to sit in the away stand, causing more of an embarrassment than offering real support.
Local fan groups have also experienced strict limitations on attending away games for the R&F matches in Guangzhou as part of the Hong Kong Premier League campaign, being only given a very small ticket contingent.
There is also some irony in there as it is de facto easier for Hong Kong fans to attend the decisive Asian Cup qualifying match against North Korea in Pyongyang (with tour packages offered by several agencies) than attending a game in their motherland.
Any fans who want to attend the 2nd leg of the Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup will now be forced to obtain home tickets and then somehow negotiate their way into the away sector. But there are no guarantees that there won't be further unexpected hurdles on match day.

I was forced to have an interesting conversation with my wife.
Me: I have been called in to meet with the (high school) principal tomorrow.
Wife: Oh my gosh, is our son in trouble?
Me: No. It's not him.
Wife: Our daughter???!!!
Me: Um, nope.
Wife: [Confused silence.]
Me: He asked to meet with me. I'm the one in trouble…
Let me give provide some background. I coach high school football and, in my first season at my current school, we were on the road and getting beaten soundly. Our opponent had the ball in our red zone and was about to score… again. I signaled in my defensive call and the middle linebacker looked back at me and indicated that he missed the call (imagine a shrug in shoulder pads). I repeated the signal. He shrugged again. The next time I added voice to my frustrated hand signals. I shouted "31 cover *&/#@ing 8". It just so happened that the stadium fell strangely silent at exactly the same moment I yelled to my player. You should know that I have a commanding, loud coaching voice and that the principal was standing on the sideline about 30 yards from me.
So… during my Monday meeting with the principal he made an unforgettable statement. He said, "When you behave that way, you put yourself on an island. I cannot help you when you do that." He was right. I apologized and took a careful inventory of my heart for football. (I'm still coaching at the same high school, by the way.)
I think there is a more significant truth here, in addition to what I learned in this particular circumstance. Too often, I think we consider obedience to God's rules for our behavior to be restrictive. In fact, they are protective. God wants to protect His children from the evils of this world. However, sometimes He cannot protect us from ourselves. Our own disobedience leads us into circumstances that carry painful consequences.
I encourage you to view obedience to God as a gift, rather than a burden. We GET to obey God. We GET to remain safe. This obedience protects us from being marooned on a very lonely island.

Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Please note that Paul's grandson is taller than he is. Do you think he knows how amazing it is to be related to an actual Beatle?!?!
Why does she always look like she hates being touched? And he does his hair like that on purpose? Really?
I love DeNiro's face here. It brings me joy.
