In this Fox 8 House Call series, Cone Health experts explore childbirth and women's services topics, including:
Breast milk is the ideal source of nutrition for babies. Breastfeeding is important, as it significantly boosts a baby's immune system and helps protects them from various illnesses. Babies who are breastfed have a lower risk of developing certain health conditions, such as type 1 & 2 diabetes, obesity and asthma. It also offers a quiet relaxed time for mother and baby to bond. Breastfeeding can be good for the mother's health, too – it's linked to a lower risk of both breast and ovarian cancer in women.
As a hospital that is designated Baby Friendly, Cone Health Women's Hospital promotes both skin-to-skin and rooming-in for new parents. Skin-to-skin is a model of care in which babies are placed on the mother's bare chest immediately after delivery, and examined and stabilized while being held by the mother. 'Babies room-in' is another care model in which the newborn stays in the same room as the mother throughout the entire duration of their stay at the hospital. Studies have shown that these practices facilitate breastfeeding, showing improved rates of babies taking the breast and successful nursing. When babies room-in, parents can learn feeding cues and feed as frequently as needed by watching their baby, not the clock.
Breastfeeding can be a challenge for moms and babies, as it is new to both of them. Cone Health Women's Hospital and Alamance Regional Medical Center have established several classes and support groups to give expectant mothers tips and tools on how to get breastfeeding off to a great start and continue the process successfully. Breastfeeding classes in Greensboro and Burlington are taught by certified lactation consultants that are also available for private consultations.

While getting an epidural is still a common option for pain management in childbirth, waterbirth is an alternative birthing option that has been growing throughout the community. Women's Hospital is proud to be the first hospital in NC to offer credentialing for water immersion in labor and waterbirth as part of our certified nurse midwife and physician privileges. This sounds complex, but what it simply means is that Women's Hospital is committed to keeping waterbirth safe and to keeping it as an option for families in our community. Not all obstetrical practices offer waterbirth, so make sure you check with your health care provider.
Laboring in the water has benefits for moms, babies and partners. The water can help to decrease a mother's perception of the pain associated with childbirth. The water helps facilitate this by:
For babies, waterbirth is a gentler process, as they move from one water environment to another. If mom and baby are both doing well, then skin-to-skin is encouraged between mom and baby immediately after delivery. (Skin-to-skin is encouraged regardless of mode of delivery at Women's Hospital, if mom and baby are doing well. Partners and other support people can also do skin-to-skin.)
Waterbirth is a safe option for low-risk pregnancies. It is important for a woman interested in waterbirth to have a conversation with her credentialed provider to determine if she is a good candidate for a waterbirth. Then, all expectant parents need to approach birth with a flexible attitude. There can be situations that occur as a woman's labor unfolds that may prevent her from being able to use the pool, like going into preterm labor. Other situations may require that a mom get out of the pool to ensure the safety of her and baby, such as the need for continuous monitoring or a mother's desire for an epidural. Remaining flexible and keeping open lines of communication with your nursing staff and care provider are crucial in all births.
The waterbirth program at Women's Hospital does require women to bring their own pool and accessories to the hospital. This is why it is important for women to begin thinking about birthing options early in their pregnancy, as women will need to become educated, prepare and obtain their supplies. To assist in this process, a free class on waterbirth at Women's Hospital is offered every month. Expectant parents can register for this class at http://www.conehealthybaby.com.
Only a few practices are currently certified to provide waterbirths as a delivery option, so look for a practice with midwives that can help you plan for a waterbirth.
Kristin Kerbo, RN, is a registered nurse and childbirth educator at Cone Health Women's Hospital.
The Cone Health Women's Hospital has been a special place for women and babies since the first baby was born there in 1990. As trends in childbirth have changed, Cone Health has been dedicated to meet the changing needs of the moms and families in our community. As we researched what it would take to expand and upgrade our current home to incorporate the advanced care we want for our neonatal intensive care unit and other areas, we realized that constructing something new would be the best choice. So we decided to start from scratch with a new building, connected to The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and the exceptional teams available there.
Not only are we expanding some of the existing services at Women's Hospital, but we're also moving closer to Moses Cone Hospital to connect families to our pediatric and emergency services so they can get all the care they need in one place. This way, no matter what our moms' individual needs are, they will be steps away from emergency care specialists.
The new hospital will also have an expanded NICU composed of single rooms with individual bathrooms to keep babies and their families together and comfortable. Single rooms allow our staff to focus on couplet care, where both the mom and baby are cared for in the same room.
The safety of our patients is our top priority. Across Cone Health at Women's Hospital and Alamance Regional Medical Center, our priority is providing safe, high-quality patient care. We follow national protocols for managing pregnancy and childbirth complications.
We value the relationships we build with each family that chooses Women's Hospital or Alamance Regional Medical Center for maternity care, and we want them to feel comfortable and safe before, during and after their hospital stay. This new facility will help our teams continue to provide the best care for our patients. Our labor and delivery teams take special steps to ensure we're providing the highest quality, safest care possible for our new moms and families.

The presentation below was given at the very successful "Smart Energy Conference" 2018 in Sydney. The presentation has graphs which attempt to illustrate the story below.Solar Energy expo edited
Point One:
There is broad and consistent support for renewable energy both globally and in Australia and this means that renewable energy is now the dominant form of new investment globally and in Australia.
There is clear evidence of global warming, right in front of nearly everyone's face, and this is reflected in hard data about USA property prices.
Point Two:
NSW's coal fleet will be largely retired by 2035. To replace not just Liddell, but also Vales Point, and most importantly Eraring (announced closure in 2032 at the latest), requires new investment every year from now until the plant closes. In fact, we should already be investing to replace Bayswater.
Point Three:
The choice we all face is whether that investment should take place before the coal plant closes or after. If it comes after, there will be price and blackout risks.
Those risks are increased by the obvious incentives large gentailers have to minimise the amount of new supply. We increasingly question whether an energy-only market, with no planning function, is capable of delivering that new investment in a timely fashion.
We think that the clear industry consensus is that that most of the new energy required will come from wind and solar, but that a certain amount of firming dispatchable power will be required, along with demand management, to keep not just the lights on but the machines of heavy industry and computers of data centres running.
What is the function of an energy-only market when most of the energy is zero marginal cost? It is better to have a market for the provision of new supply. Competition needs to occur on the bid price for new supply not on the dispatch price. Come on folks, wake up to the 21st century.
Point Four:
Once we all agree it's better to build the new supply in front of the retiring old supply it becomes obvious that:
(i) we need to minimise the risk for the renewable generation because that drives the price, this means some form of revenue guarantee/certainty;
(ii) we need to hurry up with the long lead items which are basically the transmission zones; and
(iii) we need to officially work out how much new firiming capacity will be required because that too is a long lead item and work out the appropriate way to get it built.
Point Five:
The NEG does not seem to contemplate the fact that minimising the amount of dispatchable power by maximising the diversification of the wind and PV resource should be one of the prime goals of policy.
The less pumped hydro, the less gas, the less batteries, the less concentrating solar that is required to run the system to the current reliability standard the cheaper the price of electricity to consumers.
It's not a matter of what should the share of renewable energy be to minimise carbon. That is an out-of-date concept. It's clearly going to be mostly renewables, so the carbon share will look after itself.
It's more about making sure that the variable renewable energy and the required dispatchable energy get built before the old thermal generation either expires or is forced out of the market by price.
Point Six:
The NSW government bears a lot of responsibility to make sure the new investment starts now, and right now they are stuffing it up.
Point Seven:
Finally, as far as behind-the-meter batteries go, there may be 35-40 brands but there might as well be one. Residential batteries cost 3x-6X the price of auto lithium batteries on an installed $/kWh basis and the only time the price moves in Australia is when Tesla leads. Tesla's done nothing for a year and so neither has anyone else.
That's hopeless for consumers and indeed for the industry itself.

There are tons of things that happen in our daily routine that prove to be devastating for our hair. Examples of which can be the sun, hot dry air, chlorine, and saltwater. We don't intentionally do it but we end up torturing our hair in multiple ways throughout summer months. It's no wonder we complain about split ends, oily scalps and dull and lifeless locks.
However, u can take some preventive measures and with the help of a few essentials. You have a good shot at keeping your hair healthy and throughout the summer season.
Say no to split ends
Summer seems like the most hassle-free time to grow your hair as you opt for messy buns, tied twisters, braid, whorl up-do or a sleek blow out. But it's important to trim your hair, get rid of split ends to prevent further damage and before making it even worse.
Scorching sun and desert heat not only dries the atmosphere but also becomes lethal for the moisture of our own hair, the shaft of our own hair. As hair grows, it continues to split up the shaft, causing more damage and the inescapable need to lop off even more than you priory wanted. So head towards your favorite spas, parlors, and hairdressers and book yourself an appointment now and dust your ends.
Coconut oil the- best remedy
Like every other organ, every other body part of your body, hair is like any other part of your body as well. That needs care, protection, rejuvenation, and resuscitation from damaging UV rays. Also, it is a misconception that our hair will protect us from sun damage. To keep your hair shielded from getting burnt, dry and damaged taking coconut oil in your daily use will give remarkable nourishment to your hair from damage and dryness. Coconut oil doesn't only give protection from damage along with it it has anti-oxidant properties keeping the harmful rays at bay. Moreover, it has natural SPF as well. You can froth the oil onto damp hair as a deep conditioner, repairing your hair and protecting your dome.
Daily wash not any more
Unless you are washing your hair with coconut oil, don't wash it much otherwise. Doing shampoo on a daily basis would not provide any benefit to u rather it will wash the nutrients and the natural oil that your scalp has. So daily shampoo is never recommended especially if there is no proper oiling of coconut oil. Although seeming counter-intuitive frequent washing actually increases the oil production leading to an even greasier scalp and dry brittle hair. Which is surely not a good look at all
Instead of you can opt for a dry shampoo which helps to reduce scalp oil without drying out your luscious locks. For those who are very concerned about their hair and keep on experimenting for more and, better results can try this DIY treatment to control oil secretion.
Mix 2-3 spoons of coconut water with the juice of a lemon. Apply it onto your scalp and massage as moving your fingers in a circular motion for 5 minutes before rinsing it with cold water. For best results make it a weekly habit.
Give life with water
Like every other living being, water is essential for survival. It cannot be overstated how assertive it is to drink an abundant amount of water, especially during triple-digit mercury readings. Water requirements of the body vary from person to person. But new research indicates that 8-ounce glasses a day are not enough for proper hydration.
For ease, a good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to produce nearly colorless urine. So drink as much as water as you can as it doesn't have any harmful results rather it is really important for rejuvenation, skin improvement, extraordinary defense against lifeless locks. Lastly, it is important to keep the hair healthy in one way or the other.
Keeping hair beautiful, fresh looking and maintaining its shine is more important than anything else. Keeping it hydrated maintaining its good care in one way or the other is the ultimate goal. Taking care of its nourishment, setting good water tables especially after knowing how important it for its growth will become a priority for any of those who take their hair shine seriously an want to take good care f it. Regardless of how you time your mane the most important factor in achieving healthy summer

Record Details:
A killer 60s soundtrack! The score was written for a strange biker film that starred Marianne Faithfull and Alain Delon – and it's filled with lots of driving grooves, wailing organ lines, and jangly guitar parts. The whole thing's strung together with occasional sound effects, giving the album a cool spacey film-ish sound – and there's lots of moments that feel a lot like some of the great and groovy Italian or French 60s soundtracks. The theme is incredible – and other titles include "Dream", "Holiday With Raymond", "Surrender To A Stranger", "Dawn Idyll", "Big Bare Beat", and "Don't Ask Me".

Two railway cops suspended for thrashing journalist in Uttar Pradesh
In a purported video of the incident which went viral on social media late last night, the accused GRP personnel, dressed in plain clothes, can be seen repeatedly slapping and punching Sharma
Lucknow: Two railway policemen were suspended for allegedly thrashing a television journalist after an argument with him when he was covering the derailment of a goods train in Shamli, officials said on Wednesday. Journalist Amit Sharma also alleged that "they forced me to take my clothes off and urinated on me."
However, this charge has been denied by the Government Railway Police (GRP). Director General of Uttar Pradesh Police OP Singh ordered that Rakesh Kumar, the GRP's Shamli Station House Officer, and constable Sanjay Pawar be suspended, the state police tweeted Wednesday morning. A senior UP government official, quoting Shamli Senior Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar Pandey, said the action was taken after the two GRP personnel thrashed Sharma. In a purported video of the incident which went viral on social media late last night, the accused GRP personnel, dressed in plain clothes, can be seen repeatedly slapping and punching Sharma. Subsequently, the GRP personnel detained him.
"The incident took place when the journalist had gone to cover the derailment of a few bogies of a goods trains in Shamli. There was a heated exchange of words among them and hurling of abuses," said Ram Lakhan Mishra, the Circle Officer, GRP, Saharanpur. A senior GRP official said the journalist was released around 7 am Wednesday. The Uttar Pradesh police tweeted, "We have come across a video where a journalist has been beaten up & put up in a lock up. DGP UP OP Singh has ordered for immediate suspension of SHO GRP Shamli Rakesh Kumar and Const. Sanjay Pawar. Strict punishment shall be accorded to policemen misbehaving with citizens."
Amit Sharma, the journalist, later released a video in which he says, "GRP and railway officials were at the spot when I had gone for the coverage. The GRP personnel along with other cops beat me up. The mobile phone, which I used for shooting the news clip was hit and is missing. They also hurled abuses at me." Sharma added, "I was put in a lock up. They forced me to take off my clothes, and then they urinated on me." However, Ram Lakhan Mishra denied the allegations levelled by the journalist.

Princess Charlotte Had Zero Time for Prince George's Antics at Sophie Carter's Wedding
Royal or not, big brothers can be irritating. Just ask Princess Charlotte.
Last Saturday, Kate Middleton's close friend Sophie Carter married Robert Snuggs in Norfolk, England. Wedding party vets Prince George and Char slipped easily into their day-of responsibilities. But one of them (*cough* George) didn't take picture time quite as seriously.
Charlotte is looking at George like saying "please behave yourself" ??#PrinceGeorge #PrincessCharlotte pic.twitter.com/AR2XLCCUAk? Luu297 (@luu297) September 23, 2018
If you click on the embedded photo, you'll notice the princess took a break from posing to make the quintessential, "Stop! You're embarrassing me," face and possibly even threw in a shush or two. Unperturbed, George continued hamming it up.
Several publications reported George was leading his fellow page boys in a "game of soldiers" at the wedding. Nonetheless, Charlotte didn't like it and that's that (even if George's knickerbockers are just the cutest).
Ah, siblings.

Reviewers Bomb 10,000 B.C. Back to the Stone Age
Getting drubbed by the critics is no new experience for Roland Emmerich. Once again, history repeats itself as they line up to take a sabre-toothed swipe at his latest CGI monster movie, 10,000 B.C.:
"Emmerich knows how to fill the screen with spectacle, but not how to field-marshal it. Stampeding mammoths and flying spears play more like visual clutter than the wonders of a lost era brought back to life. He summons up a dead world, only to kill it again, one pixel at a time." — Keith Phipps, The AV Club
"Camilla Belle… is made up and muscle-toned like the star attraction on America's Next Top Lifeless Mannequin." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"I don't begrudge this plot its stupidity or lack of verisimilitude; some of my best friends are stupid and far-fetched. What makes the movie a drag is the pedestrian joylessness with which it plods through its hypercompressed evolutionary timeline." — Dana Stevens, Slate
"But the big, climactic fight, complete with an epic snuffleupagus
rampage, is decent action-movie fun. And as a history lesson, 10,000 BC has its value. It explains just how we came to be the tolerant, peace-loving farmers we are today…"– A. O. Scott, The New York Times
"10,000 BC contains some of the shoddiest CGI work in many a
moon, most notably in the creation of a saber-toothed tiger with an
outsized head and weirdly pixelated fur who is rescued from drowning in
a pit by D'Leh and subsequently becomes his protector — no,
seriously." — Ryan Stewart, Premiere
"…Despite taking place a full 11,905 years before the invention of novocaine, (10,000 BC)
features entire tribes of men and women with teeth so white and
straight they could be selling real estate in Walnut Creek." — Peter
Hartlaub, SFGate
"It's as if all the digital tools of new millennial filmmaking fell
into the hands of men who had less storytelling sense than a campfire
bard or a cave painter." — Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

Johannesburg- It's been eight months since Bokang and Siphiwe Tshabalala welcomed their lil prince Owethu into the world.
The former Miss SA and her soccer beau, who are both fiercely protective of their personal lives tried to keep Bokang's pregnancy and Owethu's birth out of the public eye.
But ever since the lil guy's arrival both Bokang and Siphiwe seem to be more open especially on social media.
Judging by the snaps and Instagram posts Bokang is enjoying every moment with her bundle of joy.
The Juice recently caught up with Bokang at the opening of SA Fashion Week in Johannesburg. And, she looked absolutely ravishing.
Dressed in a formal black catsuit, which showed off her figure in all the right places Bokang's leading the 'yummy mommy' club.
When asked about being a new mom, Bokang said that she's loving every moment of motherhood and being "bootylicious" since giving birth.
"I'm throughly enjoying every moment. As for looking amazing- my bum and thighs have certainly gotten bigger but hey I'm enjoying being bootylicious," she said.
Now isn't that a great way of looking at things?!

My Dear Friends,
In today's selection from the Gospel of St. Matthew (22: 15-21), some Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus in his speech. After flattering Jesus by saying he was a "truthful man" and "not concerned with anyone's opinion," they asked him, "Tell us, then, what is your opinion. Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Jesus, knowing the malice the Pharisees had in their hearts, cleverly replied, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." When they handed Jesus a coin that had Caesar's image on it, Jesus said, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."
Through the centuries, many – if not most – Christians have argued that this Scripture passage refers to the necessity of paying taxes to one's government so the government can achieve its duties. But many think other things belong to Caesar such as human life and civil rights. Others argue that human life and civil rights do not belong to Caesar, for these come from God, not government.
Today is World Mission Sunday, a day the Catholic Church sets aside to remember those who serve on the front lines of mission territories of the Church. Please be generous in your donations today for the work of our foreign missionaries! Thanks!
Fr. Renán has gone back to Honduras, and he gives many thanks to all who made his stay so wonderful!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
– Father Bob

This past weekend I uncompressed all my tables, rebuilt the associated indexes, and said adieu to Advanced Compression. Based on my (still open) Dataguard block corruption SR, the admin at work likes to call it Advanced Data Corruption. Regardless, I may have lived with the first issue as a beta tester, but after a second ORA-0600 related to the product cropped up last week, I gave up. When support admits that they have no documentation of the error internally, and begins suggesting the most inane course of action you can come up with, it's time to give it the boot. It is my opinion that while this product works in the simplest environment, on the whole it is half-baked, not well tested, and not worth being a "guinea pig" or "production beta tester" for it.
Incidentally, the syntax to uncompress (and move, recreating the object completely uncompressed) is:
alter table BOM.MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS move nocompress;
I have to say I really wanted this product to work. In principle, it's a great idea, and in practice, it seems close to achieving what I would say was success:
- Disk sat idle most of the day because everything was in the buffer cache
- Most objects compressed extremely well, and total disk consumption fell significantly
- With the exception of Dataguard (and the unknown OLTP ora-0600), it operated seamlessly with the apps
In the end, however, I'd tell anyone considering it to wait. It's not there yet.
*edit* Dataguard has been up and running just fine, for over 2 weeks now since I uncompressed all the database objects. Oracle development must be very close to what they think is a fix, based on my SR/bug. But I'm not putting compression back in anytime soon.

Day 20: Nicknames
I've only had one real nickname - okay, being named Hanna everyone has called me Hanna Banana at one time or another, but that's not my nickname!!
Since I was born my father has called me MishMish - it's the Egyptian word for Apricot. I don't know why he chose this name for me honestly, but it is what he has always called me. He rarely calls me Hanna. I also use it online all the time now - my site is MishMish.Org - when I don't want to use my real name online I use MishMish - it's what most of my online profiles say.
Michael has a name that can be shortened. A lot of people call him Mike - I don't!! My children don't really have names that can be shortened. Emma & Aaron. I mean, I've called Emma "Em" a couple of times - but I can't really shorten Aaron unless I just call him "A" - LOL! I call them brother & sister a lot, but I think a lot of moms do that.
Honestly I really didn't want names that could be changed by folks when I named my kids - like Kathy for Katherine or Vicki for Victoria or Jimmy for James - I like those names, but I didn't want people to take liberties I guess is what I'm saying and call my children something else unless that's what we called them in our family. Make sense? It's weird I know...you can't shorten Hanna either, that's why the only thing people have ever called me was Hanna Banana - that is until Hanna Montana hit the screen (and yes, I know she spells it Hannah, but I don't spell mine that way!!)...
So - what's your nickname?

Gone are the days when mobile apps used to be fancy things. In 2018, they are not options but a necessity. The cost of building m-commerce apps has shrunk so much that most of the eCommerce startups these days instigate from the mobile-only setup alone.
When eCommerce giants like Alibaba and IKEA are garnishing their mobile apps with AR and VR capabilities, not having a mobile app at all will force you to lose on the grounds that are easily accessible to your competitors.
As indicated by eMarketer, retail online sales recorded a business of $2.3 trillion in 2017, which was a 23.2 percent increase over the past year's stat. The mobile's share in this was 58.9 percent, $1.4 trillion to be exact.
By 2021, m-commerce will round-up over $3.5 trillion, which make seventy-five percent of total online sales happening on mobile apps only (source).
Shopping on mobile apps is a real thing today. Around the world, online businesses are rapidly moving to the m-commerce setup, targeting users who use mobile and tablets devices for online shopping.
Hence, we have dedicated this article to explaining some out of the box benefits of an m-commerce setup. We will also discuss mobile e-commerce best practices and how you can shape your mobile shopping cart exactly according to the latest business trends.
Why users prefer Mobile Apps to Mobile Sites?
Desktop and mobile versions of the sites are still crucial for business development. However, there are various instances when mobile apps perform certain tasks more efficiently as compared to their web versions.
Especially when eCommerce is a highly competitive sphere, you cannot afford to give even a single advantage to your rivals. Do not believe me, but trust the stats: Amazon and Walmart accumulated a massive volume of profit by opening their Black Friday sales promptly through their mobile apps.
i. Mobile apps give a dedicated user experience:
Apps make it easier to covert a user because of their dedicated user interface. On the other hand, a mobile or desktop site has a cluttered interface with numerous distractions.
Recommended: Creating a Disability-Friendly User Experience for Your Website
With dedicated in-app-buttons and shortcuts, app users can jump from one touchpoint to other in an easy and quick manner.
ii. Mobile apps make best use of latest device and OS features:
App developers make a full use of interactive features offered by modern day devices and their operating systems.
For example, you can program your app use phone camera for scanning a barcode, GPS to offer location-based product suggestions and fingerprint sensor for quick login and security.
iii. Mobile apps load quicker than mobile sites:
Mobile app users need not typing lengthy URLs or navigating from pages to pages to browse the online store. Waiting time of the loading pages is also marginal.
Users leverage dedicated mobile apps, which come with most of the page elements pre-loaded. They can navigate from one point other in a fraction of second.
How m-commerce apps are beneficial for your e-commerce business?
1. Direct Marketing channel with prospects
M-commerce apps do not only serve as selling touch point, but also a crucial marketing channel. Unlike your eCommerce site, you can contact your app users even when they are not actively browsing your e-tail store.
Mobile apps come integrated with a modern marketing channel- push messages. It is one of the most crucial reasons why m-commerce apps are necessary for eCommerce businesses. You can use these notifications to send your marketing communications. You must know that Push notifications have a 97% click-through rate and 90% of them receive the same within minutes of their receipt.
Here is an example of how Amazon- an eCommerce giant fully utilizes its app for sending product delivery updates:
You can instantly communicate an array of information to your app users and engage them with your business in real-time. You can-
- Promote a new product:
- Send price drop alerts
- Send back-in-stock alert
- Announce flash sale or lightning deals
- Upsell recommended products
- Call back abandoned customers with offers
- Reward your loyal customers with coupon codes
- Provide product shipping alerts
- Ask customer feedback on products
2. Improved Customer Engagement & user experience
People spend thousands on purchasing latest and smart devices because they seek innovation and new ways to use technology. It matters a ton while users are shopping online. Mobile apps offer the kind of smart experience users hope to get on a modern day device.
Be it smart filling of checkout forms, auto detection of current location, lighting fast product pages or ability to directly share product pages on multiple sharing platforms, online shoppers download a mobile app with an array of expectations.
Therefore, if you offer a fast, interactive and convenient mobile app to your prospects, you possess a greater chance to build a unique identity and encourage shoppers to show some loyalty with your brand.
You would be surprised to know that 83 percent of shopper use mobile apps for researching the product prices while standing in a physical store. Consumers are attracted to m-commerce by default; it depends on how you are utilizing the m-Commerce for your business benefits.
3. Personalized shopping experience
Mobile apps can let you personalize a shopping experience by using the collected data. You can deliver specially tailored content based on browsing history and user level preferences. You can personalize the content like –
- Smart product suggestion based on wish-list
- Related product suggestion based on previous shopping history
- Recommended product suggestion based on location, interest and social media profiles
The more personalized is the app content, the more are the chances of conversion. The real-time product suggestions often result in immediate conversion, lead generation, and heightened consumer loyalty.
4. Deeper analytics and search engine visibility
E-Commerce businesses spend millions on lead generation services and additional website features to for lead generation. For example, exit pop-up, entry pop up, out of stock alerts etc.
Mobile apps eliminate all these additional requirements by in-housing much better tools by default. They possess the UI and other touchpoints, which can collect data like Name, Age, Sex, Location and Shopping history with more ease.
The apps come with sophisticated analytic tools that can collect, process, and present the user data in a more comprehensible way. The rate of sign-ups on mobile apps is more than any mobile or desktop website.
Users generally create the user accounts during the first interaction with the app itself. With a higher level of personalization and data collection, you can target your prospects with better accessibility and increase the sales upfront.
You can take a cue from the Alibaba, a leader in the eCommerce industry. With an eCommerce setup, they were able to collect a ton of user data. They are now utilizing it for setting up another business. Alibaba is now looking to become a data and insights provider to other players in the market.
Coming to the search engine part, Google and other search engines, offer e-commerce product suggestions based on the search keywords.
For example, instead of opening a mobile app, many mobile users directly search the products on Google Search engine. These are the contextual keywords and key-phrases that Google detects- "Buy iPhone X", "Price of Surface pro", "Buy blackberry unlocked" etc.
In addition to the contextual results, search engines display results from the eCommerce pages too. So having a mobile app will let you direct all these users to your mobile app directly.
Doing this will let you propose a better user experience that could not have been achieved by pushing the user to your mobile site instead.
5. Lightning fast checkout process with no distractions
Many e-commerce shoppers use mobile phones for product research and run to their laptops for making the final purchase. It is because of the complexity of eCommerce checkout pages. They are huge, do not fit on the mobile screens and users do not like to type this much details using the tiny mobile keyboards.
With mobile apps, you can effectively eliminate the checkout complexities and offer lightning-fast checkout process by-
- Auto filling the known details: Name, Sex, Mobile number, Email address etc.
- Using previous shopping history for auto-filling additional details: billing and delivery address.
- Saving payment details: Credit and debit card details.
- Offering Multi-step checkout instead of fitting a big page on a tiny screen.
- Offering bigger and clearer on-page buttons.
- Dynamically validating field values and preventing frequent page reloads to validate the data.
- Offering customized keyboard layouts for numeric, email and password inputs
Latest trends to follow in mobile e-commerce business:
i. AI chatbots
Businesses are utilizing AI chatbots to offer customer support in a 24X7 environment. The other utilization includes customer data collection, automatic product suggestions and many more.
These chatbots utilize AI to learn and quickly respond to the data-oriented queries of the app users. Having them on your mobile app will definitely make things sophisticated as for your m-commerce touchpoint.
ii. Voice search
Users are relying more and more on voice assistants for search on the internet. Most of the queries are done using AI assistants on their mobile phones and smart home devices.
Having a perfect voice search optimization on your mobile app will let you win the queries from devices like Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, and Cortana. Additionally, it will also improve the browsing experience of the users.
iii. VR and AR elements
Nowadays, eCommerce apps are coming loaded with AR and VR abilities to let users experience the products in the actual environment.
You can take a cue from Alibaba and Ikea mobile apps, which lets users try out the products in augmented reality. This is something that will definitely offer an upper hand against your competitors.
iv. Integrated payments
The traditional payment methods involve a series of manual alteration of the data. For example, after receiving a credit card payment, traditional payment methods would want you to manually browse the transaction receipts and update the accounts receivable and general ledger in your accounting software.
With Integrated payment systems, you can link the transactions to your accounting software and make the whole system automatic. It will not want you to update the payment details manually.
Using integrated payment systems you can effectively, save time, increase cash flow, reduce human errors, and strengthen payment security.
v. Social media login
Users do not like to fill up forms for creating user accounts. Most of them will simply abandon their mobile shopping cart if asked for compulsory account registration.
Instead, integrate social media login to synchronize their social media credential with your mobile app database and automatically create the user account without filling the form manually.
With the changing face of the internet and its related technologies, e-commerce is also drastically mutating. M-commerce is indeed the present and future of the eCommerce business.
Ignoring their efficacy will definitely make your business inefficient while targeting the one--billion smartphone users. When one-third of e-commerce sales are mobile-driven, you cannot afford to overlook this sophisticated tech from your eCommerce business plan.
If you run an eCommerce business, take a step forward and invest in something as smart as mobile apps before you are late to the party.

The unidentified part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--that is today! The images for this round were provided by Carol. She will swap the cards and include the next image that Laura Jean, our next hostess, provides in our return envie. And then we get to do it all again--for round #25!!!
The image that Carol sent is from one of my favorite companies that make me laugh--Art Impressions. Their "old people" line of stamps are just a hoot! I added a bit of sparkle on the icing on the cake as I used a new marker that I recently got from my friend Jeanette.

NITEC's Relevance On Africa's IoT Discussions
- NITEC Admin
- Technology

For emphasis sake, the latest edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, published on Tuesday reveals that the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to overtake mobile phones as the largest category of connected device by 2018. Really?
Oh yes! See, between 2015 and 2021, the number of IoT connected devices is expected to grow 23% annually, of which cellular IoT is forecast by Ericsson to have the highest growth rate. Of the 28 billion total devices that will be connected by 2021, close to 16 billion will be IoT devices.
The report continues, as usual, Western Europe will lead the way in adding IoT connections – the number of IoT devices in this market is projected to grow 400 percent by 2021. This will principally be driven by regulatory requirements, for example for intelligent utility meters, and a growing demand for connected cars including the EU e-call directive to be implemented in 2018.
Rima Qureshi, Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy Officer, Ericsson, says: "IoT is now accelerating as device costs fall and innovative applications emerge. From 2020, commercial deployment of 5G networks will provide additional capabilities that are critical for IoT, such as network slicing and the capacity to connect exponentially more devices than is possible today."
Wait. Is Nigeria in the number even with the estimated population of 173million, mobile subscriber level standing at 97,032,543 as at first quarter 2016 and with over 107 percent teledensity for voice segment of telecommunications services. Is Nigeria really ready for the Internet of things with not more than 15% broadband penetration, although the national broadband plan sets 30% target by 2018. Oh, wait, among the telcos, how many have sincerely deployed 4G LTE services. If 4G is still an allusion in certain cities, should we be concerned or just hope 5G will come. But, what are the factors inhibiting the telcos from deploying the 4G LTE technologies as quick as possible. Are they surmountable or we are now in a pariah state. Will the funds in the Universal Service Provision fund (USPF) kitty be enough to deploy services especially to the underserved? In fact, what are the practical steps been adopted by Barrister Adebayo Shittu led Ministry of Communications to ensure Nigeria's sustainable course for IoT and other technological revolutions.
We need to hear from the horses mouth, which emphasizes the need all hand must be on deck to push for the success of the Nigeria International Technology Exhibition & Conference (www.nitec.com.ng) (NITEC 2016).
The conversation around IoT is such important, because if I find it difficult at the moment to stream videos, whether live or plug and play, how will my refrigerators be 'empowered' with enough broadband to inform me while I am miles away from home.
And IoT is developing another massive market, because by the time it becomes ubiquitous, 'we shall live in/on apps'.
Ericsson reports that smartphone subscriptions continue to increase and are forecast to surpass those for basic phones in Q3 2016. By 2021, smartphone subscriptions will almost double from 3.4 billion to 6.3 billion.
"In 2016, a long anticipated milestone is being passed with commercial LTE networks supporting downlink peak data speeds of 1 Gbps. Devices that support 1 Gbps are expected in the second half of 2016, initially in markets such as Japan, US, South Korea and China, but rapidly spreading to other regions. Mobile users will enjoy extremely fast time to content thanks to this enhanced technology, which will enable up to two thirds faster download speeds compared with the fastest technology available today".
More highlights from the Ericsson Mobility Report include:
"A global growth story: mobile broadband subscriptions will grow fourfold in the Middle East and Africa between 2015 and 2021; mobile data traffic in India will grow fifteen times by 2021; and despite being the most mature market, US mobile traffic will grow 50 percent in 2016 alone.
"Data traffic continues unabated growth: global mobile data traffic grew 60 percent between Q1 2015 and Q1 2016, due to rising numbers of smartphone subscriptions and increasing data consumption per subscriber. By the end of 2021, around 90 percent of mobile data traffic will be from smartphones.
"Growing up streaming: teenage use of cellular data for smartphone video grew 127 percent in just 15 months. This, and the fact that teens are the heaviest users of data for smartphone video streaming (Wi-Fi and cellular combined), makes them the most important group for cellular operators to monitor.
"LTE subscriptions grew at a high rate during Q1 2016: there were 150 million new subscriptions during the quarter – driven by demand for improved user experience and faster networks – reaching a total of 1.2 billion worldwide. LTE peak data speeds of 1 Gbps are anticipated to be commercially available in 2016.
"Additional spectrum harmonization needed between countries planning early 5G deployment: 5G is expected to start more quickly than anticipated, and spectrum harmonization is needed between countries planning early roll-outs. This is in addition to the current process for WRC-19, which focuses on spectrum for commercial 5G deployments beyond 2020.
"A bright future for microweather: microwave backhaul links can be used as accurate rainfall measurement tools – they are more numerous than rain gauges and offer higher resolution than weather radars. This has the potential to bring enormous value to people, business and society, for example in relation to the impact of severe weather conditions around the world".
In preparation for the IoT rainy day, NITEC 2016 will present a holistic look at the concept of Internet of Things. Will Africa rise to develop its own local talents to take advantage of this trend? Or would it just seat down like the mobile revolution era and consume everything created from abroad?
Thus, NITEC 2016 holding at Civic Centre, Lagos from 23rd-24th June remains a formidable to bridge the gap between the private and public sectors and the international technology community in re-engineering the African technological ecosystem for greater impact on the continent's GDP.
Likewise, through plenary sessions and exhibitions the worth of our technology system will be showcased to thousands of attendees; exhibition booth (2 days); placement of brand logo on event brochure and website; complimentary wifi, place web banners and share branded gifts at booths.
The renowned speakers will spark deepened conversation and help through up new innovations that will help Nigeria and indeed, Africa, become IoT-future ready.

The "Geisenheim Research Institute" in the city of Geisenheim in Rheingau in the state of Hesse was founded in 1872 by the German banker Freiherr Eduard von Lade (1817-1904) as the "Royal Prussian School for Fruit and Wine Growing". The son of a wine dealer had acquired a considerable fortune from export, banking and arms business and retired in Geisenheim in 1861. He left there a luxurious country house in the classicist style called "Monrepos" (French "my retirement home") with extensive parks near the bank of the Rhine From then on, he established and devoted himself to private interests, the most important of which included fruit growing and the breeding of new fruit varieties. The Prussian King Wilhelm I (1797-1888) and the Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) he had sent boxes of apples and pears several times with the request that he be allowed to found a "pomological college" in Geisenheim, which he was eventually allowed to do.
With funds from the reparation payments from the Franco-Prussian War in 1870/71, a site near the banks of the Rhine was acquired and buildings were erected. Initially, the tasks of the institute were primarily in the areas of viticulture and pomology (teaching fruit growing), as well as the organization of studies in gardening and viticulture. The first four directors were Oswin Hüttig (1827-1889) from 1872 to 1874, Christian Arndts (1831-1888) from 1874 to 1879, Rudolf Goethe (1843-1911) from 1879 to 1903 and Julius Wortmann (1856-1925) from 1903 to 1921. The latter founded the first yeast pure breeding station in 1894 and dealt intensively with plant pathology (diseases), plant physiology, fermentation physiology and cellar management.
Traditionally, great attention is paid to the breeding of new grape varieties. Already Dr. Hermann Müller-Thurgau (1850-1927) worked at the institute from 1867 to 1890 and laid the foundation for the grape variety named after him. Later Dr. Heinrich Birk (1898-1973) headed the Rebzucht-Institut and tried to get an early maturing Riesling. Dr. Helmut Becker (1927-1989) was the head of the vine growing station from 1964 to 1989 and particularly promoted the breeding of new grape varieties. The breeding goals were yield security, fungus resistance ( Botrytis, Real and wrong mildew ), good maturity and high wine quality. These included the new varieties Allegro. Arnsburger. bolero. Ehrenbreitsteiner. Ehrenfelser. dark fields. good Borner. hibernal. Müller-Thurgau. Osteiner. Primera. principal. Reichensteiner. Rotberger. Saphira and Schönburger, A peculiarity is that Geisenheim inherited the Asian species Vitis amurensis used (see under rondo ).
Today, the Geisenheim Research Institute conducts applied and basic research in the fields of viticulture, horticulture, oenology and beverage research. As part of a close link with the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Geisenheim, five institutes with a total of 14 subject areas also support around 1,000 students in the fields of viticulture and oenology, beverage technology, horticulture and landscape architecture in lectures and exercises by the staff of the research institute. This is the only academic training in this area in the entire German-speaking area. There is also a cooperation with the well-known English training institute WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust). The aim is to implement and offer innovative research in practice in order to strengthen its competitiveness. See also under BDO and Wine event Geisenheim,
The Geisenheim Research Institute also operates a commercial winery. The vineyards cover 20 hectares in the vineyards Rheingau Individual layers Fuchsberg, Kitzberg, Kläuserweg. Mäuerchen and Rothenberg (Geisenheim), as well as church path and Magdalenenkreuz (Rüdesheim). They are over 80% with the white wine varieties Riesling. Müller-Thurgau. Pinot Blanc. Pinot gris. Chardonnay. Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as with the red wine varieties Pinot Noir ( Pinot Noir ) Frühburgunder. St. Laurent. Merlot. Zweigelt. regent. Gamaret and Garanoir planted. The wines are marketed in the Schoppen wines, Monrepos and Rieslings lines. It will be too Eiswein, bottle-fermented sparkling wine, various noble brandies (yeast, pomace, wine, fruit), liqueurs (nut) and fruit juices. The winery is a member of VDP (Association of German quality wine estates).

Two giant industrials, Bosch and Volkswagen, are among companies that are taking seriously the idea that the Internet of Things (IoT) and decentralized data marketplaces should co-exist. That means a type of "blockchain meets IoT" is likely in our future.
Both German organizations have recently teamed up with fellow-country, decentralized transactional platform IOTA on various development projects. IOTA's Tangle is a transactional data transfer and settlement system for connected devices.
Bosch announced in November that it intends to use a combination of its XDK (Cross Domain development Kit) product (an IoT prototyping and programmable sensor module used as a come-on to get organizations to work with Bosch on custom mass production and series engineering), and morph XDK with IOTA marketplace along a masked communications channel.

This article is brought to you by EU Business School.
While business education is generally associated with white boards, textbooks and lectures, business schools have realised the importance of innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity in recent years. It is no longer enough to teach theory alone; business schools need to stay ahead of the curve and adapt their curricula to meet emerging trends, also considering the impact of factors on the world economy, such as globalisation and sustainability.
Leading the field in experiential business education, EU Business School (EU) has developed a dynamic, multi-faceted learning experience that combines hands-on participation, company visits, study tours and inspirational guest speaker events to equip students with the skills necessary to succeed in today's rapidly evolving business world.
As part of the series of guest speaker sessions, EU Barcelona invited two prestigious names to speak to students this winter. From contrasting spheres of business, Montreux Jazz Festival CEO Mathieu Jaton and Nestlé chairman Paul Bulcke captivated students and guests with their success stories.
At the beginning of November, music maestro Mathieu Jaton spoke to an audience of EU Barcelona students and distinguished guests at CosmoCaixa, providing an insight into one of the world's most celebrated music festivals.
Originally founded by Claude Nobs in 1967 as a pure jazz festival, the Montreux Jazz Festival has evolved into an eclectic music event, although jazz remains at its core. Over the years, it has featured the likes of Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Quincy Jones, Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye and David Bowie, to name just a few.
Through the festival story, Jaton gave students an insight into how to create a compelling, authentic brand, through perseverance, drive, passion and a desire to put people first. It was this human-centered approach to business, together with the fascinating history of the festival that struck a chord with the students.
Later in November, EU welcomed the chairman of Nestlé, Paul Bulcke, and Peter Vanham, Media Lead at the World Economic Forum and author of 'Before I was CEO' (2016), for an enlightening business conference. Mr Bulcke offered some inspirational advice to EU students, highlighting the importance of gaining new experiences, learning about new cultures and languages, and enjoying every moment of the journey.
In addition, students have enjoyed visits to renowned companies all over the world and taken part in various conferences and events to experience the inner workings of global businesses and broaden their horizons. For instance, EU students and alumni visited Bloomberg, one of the world's largest financial software, data and media companies at their offices in London. Meanwhile EU students in Geneva participated in a conference at the United Nations headquarters, organised by the UN, the International Institute for Democracy and the Kofi Annan Foundation.
In Munich, EU organised its first international conference on electric mobility in collaboration with the International Association of Public Transport, which saw students connect with over 100 industry experts.
Through these diverse activities and events, EU Business School students gain an insight into real-world business practices, offering hands-on experiences that truly bring business to life.

I don't know about you, but there's so many different parts of the UK, I'd like to visit! I've been lucky enough to have visited some of the top 20 best cities to visit in the UK, Liverpool being one of them! It's a city full of culture and character with so much to see and do, it was even named the European Capital of culture in 2008. For me, there are a few must visit places; Albert Dock, Merseyside Maritime Museum, The Beatles Story & no trip would be complete without a bit of retail therapy and some good food and drink which can be had at Liverpool One.
With over 170 shops, bars and restaurants, Liverpool One has something for everyone! For the retail therapist enthusiasts, head to Paradise Street, for all the high street favourites such as H&M and Zara, St Peter's Lane is home to high end goods like Hugo Boss and Flannels and centre is even home to two of the biggest UK department stores, Debenhams and John Lewis. After a hard day's exploring the cultural sites of the city, you'll be sure to want to refuel. What better way than to visit one of the Liverpool restaurants found between the Terrace and Hanover Street.
There's something to cater for all tastes, from casual to fine dining, date night or family friendly. The range of dining options is also wide ranging including Italian, Japanese, Mexican and cuisine from all over the world! Foodie's like myself are really spoilt for choice!
With so much choice, its hard to pick one, but for me personally, Reds True Barbecue is one of the best restaurants at Liverpool One. It's definitely the original and best American barbecue restaurant! My personal recommendation is to keep it simple and go with Red's pulled pork & slaw, £9.99 which comes with 2 sides. Don't forget the sauces…. South Carolina BBQ is the best! The root beer is a really good choice to help wash it all down. And if you can manage it, the Red's classic chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, £4.95 is definitely worth trying!
If you fancy chilling out after you've eaten, the Odeon IMAX cinema is also worth a visit! Have you been to Liverpool One? What was your favourite thing about it? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Hundreds Gather at Candlelight Vigil
Oct 30, 2018 09:36PM
By Jeanne Fratello
A candlelight vigil to honor the victims of the Pittsburgh shooting drew hundreds of community members to the Manhattan Beach Pier on Tuesday night.
The vigil, which local community and religious leaders managed to organize within just three days of the shooting, was created with the goal of showing unity as a community and denouncing hate crimes in all forms.
In opening remarks, Mayor Steve Napolitano noted that a similar crowd had gathered just over a year ago following the Las Vegas shootings.
"We came here for the same reasons as a year ago, and that is to say that we are not afraid. We will not give up. We will not be silent," said Napolitano. "Tonight we are all Jews, we are all Catholics, we are all Muslims, we are all religions, and we are all people. Those who wish us harm will never understand that love conquers hate, that understanding conquers ignorance, and that kindness is strength."
Rabbi Yossi Mintz of the Jewish Community Center, a lead organizer of the event, told the crowd that the gathering was not about which political party people supported. "Tonight is about light over darkness, good over evil, and love over hate."
Mintz added, "When you light a small candle in a dark room, you watch the room light up. Let us all be that candle."
Matthew Jensen, associate pastor of community life at Journey of Faith, emphasized a message of unity. "When we model love in the face of darkness, then peace prevails in the face of evil," he said.
Following remarks from community leaders as well as music and songs, the children in the crowd were invited forward to help light eleven candles representing the eleven victims of the Pittsburgh shooting.

The Tizcan Host is a thrallband of the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion. The Tizcan Host is known for its shared delusion. Every one of its Sorcerers believes he passed from mortality entirely at the time of the casting of the Rubric of Ahriman, and that he has been reborn as an avenging angel. The host still believes it has but one duty -- to rain the righteous fire of the Crimson King Magnus the Red upon the Imperium that once dared cast him out. Though they pretend to superior, otherworldly goodness, the Tizcan Host is perhaps the most warlike thrallband of all.
The followers of the Tizcan Host are known as the Choir of Eagles. This is a term that dates back to the Great Crusade, when sweet music echoed through every Thousand Sons processional. The harsh squawks and cries of their mutant followers, the Tzaangors, are a grotesque mockery of the songstrels that came before, yet they still wear the same colours as their predecessors.
Warband Appearance
Warband Colours
The Tizcan Host thrallband's colours are azure trimmed in gold. Members of this thrallband often wear the colour white, which was associated in the culture of lost Prospero with purity and soundness of spirit. These are claims that grow more dubious with every passing Terran year, for that sacred white has been stained red with blood countless times over the millennia. The Tizcan Host are also known to incorporate aquamarine, the colours of the enlightened seer. The Rubricae of this thrallband, known as the Seraphya, stand in silence as the icons of their masters are scorched into their armour and tabards before each battle. The Sorcerers of the Tizcan Host tell themselves the uncanny stillness of the Rubricae is because of their vow of secrecy and their stoic demeanour, but the truth is far more disturbing.
Warband Badge
The Tizcan Host thrallband's symbol is a yellow sigil of the Cult of Magic -- known as the Horned Crown -- that is a reference to the circlet worn by the ancient Prosperine deity known as the King of All Angels.

Hey guys! Thought I'd share some pictures from our road trip through Marin County and San Fransisco. I absolutely love San Fransisco area and it's amazing views. Enjoy!
We went to Union Square and saw the huge christmas tree.
Views of the Golden Gate Bridge from Sausalito.
We visited Point Bonita Lighthouse sadly, it is only open Saturday-Monday and we came on a Tuesday 🙁 The view was gorgeous though!
My dad snapped this amazing photo!
Point Bonita is beautiful, even when it's closed.
The Golden Gate Bridge at night is gorgeous.
On the way to the cypress tree tunnel we stooped at Depot Bookstore & Café in Mill Valley. The veggie burger and vegetarian black bean chili was so good!
Also, in Mill Valley we had dessert at Honeymoon Ice Cream.
When we got to the cypress tree tunnel I was shocked because it was in the middle of no where. We were driving through tree-less hills and all of a sudden tons of huge cypress trees came up out of no where. The trees were gorgeous and made for great pictures.
On the way to our next stop… Point Reyes.
North coast is beautiful.
This whole trip consists of amazing views.
Hope you enjoyed my road trip through San Fransisco and Marin County!

On April 13-14, unusual historical and patriotic tour "Trukhanivska Sich" visited Kharkiv and Lozova, Kharkiv region.
About 150 senior students, volunteers, military men and activists from 15 regions of Ukraine have visited 11 cities this year on the special "Train of Unity" which left from Kyiv on April 12 and is returning to Kyiv on April 24.
Kharkiv was the train's first stop. Civic activists Victoria Sklyarova and Nazar Bozhynsky met over hundred expedition members at the Pivdenny Post volunteer center and guided them around Kharkiv for four hours to the Kozhedub Air Force University, where the travelers had a historical lecture, lunch and a concert.
"This incorporated an excursion and a march at the same time. We were walking all the way from the railway station to the University and back to the train," says tour guide Victoria Sklyarova. She notes, the main sights of Kharkiv in Ukrainian history were observed and the tour members stopped at Skovoroda statue, Shevchenko monument and the volunteer tent at Maidan Svobody. They visited Kharkiv Historical and Art museums as well.
The expedition members note that they "washed Skovoroda" by their funny tradition, which appeared during the previous patriotic trips.
"The main topic of this April's tour is 100th anniversary of a Ukrainian military campaign of Petro Bolbochan against Communists in 1918," the organizers say. The campaign was victorious and ended with the liberation of Kharkiv and the Crimea, where Ukrainian flags were raised on the Black Sea Fleet.
The following day Lozova town hosted "Trukhanivska Sich" train. The children and volunteers visited various historical places, museums and graves of the Ukrainian heroes, killed at Maidan in Kyiv during the Revolution of Dignity and in ATO zone while defending Ukraine. Also, a picnic at the riverside was prepared for the travelers by Lozova activists.
Reference: The tour organizer Mykola Bondar states that the "Train of Unity's" passengers live in five compartment cars and they are amazed to discover different places of Ukraine, which all welcome them. Therefore the "Trukhanivska Sich" tour is promoting the patriotic spirit of young citizens of different regions and uniting Ukraine. The first such educational train started on April 20, 2016. Currently, it is the 12th patriotic volunteer tour.
