Rosacea typically appears as bright red bumps and patches of skin on your cheeks, nose, and sometimes elsewhere on your face. This condition can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing, but there are effective solutions available. Dr. Michael J. Freeman, David Kosiorek, PA-C, Dave Runyon, PA-C, and Sue Schmeltz, PA-C are available to help patients in Ocala, Florida, and The Villages, Florida. Call the offices of Michael J. Freeman, MD, PA today, or schedule an appointment online.
Rosacea is a skin condition that causes severe redness and bumps on the facial skin. It's often concentrated in the middle of the face, especially on the nose and cheeks. Rosacea can also appear on the chin, forehead, and even in other areas. This condition typically occurs in flares — sometimes your skin will be clear and other times you will have a severe rosacea outbreak.
Rosacea happens when the tiny blood vessels in your face dilate beyond their normal limit. The reason for the dilation isn't certain, but there are many potential causes, including:
Regardless of the cause of your rosacea, there are often triggers that can help you predict an outbreak.
Common triggers that might cause rosacea include:
Dr. Freeman will create a personalized treatment plan for your rosacea. This may include medications such as:
Treatment is usually combined with recommended lifestyle adjustments to help you get rosacea under control, such as:

Biological control is a natural, safe, and cost-effective scientific solution that drastically reduces aflatoxin contamination in maize and groundnut. The principles are based on crowding out aflatoxin-producing strains of Aspergillus flavus with carefully selected native strains of the same fungus that cannot produce aflatoxins. This biocontrol concept was developed by the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS). IITA and USDA-ARS designed a manufacturing process for Aflasafe™ using available off-the-shelf equipment that was different from that used elsewhere. The Meridian Institute, on behalf of the Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa (PACA) and with resources from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, funded the construction of a prototype manufacturing facility at IITA-Ibadan that can be used to produce Aflasafe™ to treat tens of thousands of hectares of smallholder farms. The demonstration manufacturing plant can also serve as a model that could be replicated in other countries affected by aflatoxin, where biocontrol research is already under way. As a critical component of the strategy, we focused on developing a system that can easily be transferred to private sector actors.
In 2014, we made significant progress in Nigeria on the registration, manufacture, and commercialization of Aflasafe™ which are prerequisites for access to and adoption of the highly effective technology for aflatoxin mitigation in Africa.
The factory was commissioned for the functional production and quality control of Aflasafe™. We developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the manufacture of Aflasafe™ and ensured strict compliance in manufacturing the product for the 2014 season. Special emphasis was placed on quality control aspects during key steps of product manufacturing. Inspectors from the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) evaluated and approved the plant for production of Aflasafe™.
On 30 October 2014, NAFDAC granted full registration to Aflasafe™, making it the first commercial biopesticide registered outside the United States for aflatoxin management. The full registration now gives IITA the freedom to license the product and expand Aflasafe™ commercialization efforts for the benefit of Nigerian agriculture and public health.
In 2014, in partnership with national institutions and with support from other donors, the plant produced 135.4 t of Aflasafe™ for various activities in six countries. Being a new product, Aflasafe™ will require substantial investment in marketing and sales promotion. This is where the Business Incubation Platform (BIP) comes in as part of its menu of agribusiness-support services.
The establishment of the Aflasafe™ factory at the BIP Complex in IITA-Ibadan in 2014 attracted the attention of a number of important investors, partners, and supporters. Among these was Dr Akinwumi Adesina, Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development who pledged support in scaling up and commercializing Aflasafe™. Minister Adesina also approved the inclusion of Aflasafe™ in the government's subsidy program GES in 2015.

Minecraft Review: Difference Between Classic vs Alpha.
Today I want to talk about a little game that has quickly become similar to a shining diamond for the indie gaming nation. Unfortunately, "today" was about 2 days ago when I got hit with math assignments and C++ homework. With the FFXIV Beta over and retail release of the special edition in the next two days, I've been spending my time completing as many school assignments as possible and playing this little gem, Minecraft.
Minecraft is an indie title written in java by Markus Persson, also known as Notch. After playing for a bit, it's quite obvious where it takes its inspiration from; Infiniminer, Tycoon styled games, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress. The point of the game…is… um… the end of the game is…uh… … there is no point or end of the game. Minecraft is a randomly generated beautiful (blocky) world you can screw around and build in. The community is strong and Notch stays close to the community. He is determined and passionate about the game and attempts to dole out surprise updates each Friday if time allows.
The unpaid version of Minecraft is called the classic, it is even possible to open up and play on classic Minecraft servers without paying a penny, but to get into Alpha (and beyond) you will have to pay a onetime fee. In classic mode you have an unlimited amount of blocks and you are simply limited by your imagination. There is no material cost and no tools required to break/place the blocks, just imagination and lots of patience to put your creations together. Here is an example of a classic server decorated by several Minecraft masters.
Hes lagging from the pure awesome.
Beyond Classic, we have Alpha; the current release of Minecraft. In-short, this is the paid version that will be constantly updated and maintained by Notch for those that have paid for the game. The major difference between Alpha and Classic is Survival. This is the meat and bones of nearly all Minecraft updates. Whether it's the creatures getting updated, a new item to craft or the engine getting a facelift to generate proper terrain… It's all for Alpha Survival.
One major thing currently in the works and being patched up/worked on to get the bugs out, is Alpha Survival Multiplayer; also known as Survival Multiplayer (SMP). Alpha Survival is what turns people into real Minecrafters. There are no unlimited blocks, (well technically, the world is infinite…or 3 times larger than the earth…Infinite enough for me! :P) , monsters that just want you dead, crafting system, combat system, armor, weapons, and the infamous creeper. Trust me; it will do you well to remember that hated name. Creeeeeeeepeeeerrrrrrrr…. Sssssssssss…
For every block you wish to put down, you must first mine, dig, craft, or harvest it out of the earth. So, in your head, you're thinking "I want to make a gigantic fort with a tower to the sky!" … Have fun digging up that amount out of the ground and then building it from the ground up...block by block. I'm dead serious; it's incredibly slow but so rewarding.
Alright, there are probably those of you out there thinking right now, "Well hey, this sounds incredibly boring, where the hell is the action?!" to which I reply, "Make it yourself/with a friend or go back to Halo." Minecraft isn't a game about action… although in theory you can mod the server to act in various ways or do various things. Some of the free custom server software that's currently out there and some of the private server creations are amazing. Minecraft Earth, Water loops, a calculator, a universal clock, skydiving servers and various other oddities out there are amazing. I saw "rocket" launching blocks on one server.
For the Pokémon fans out there
There are also many trap maps that are currently in the process of being created by some frightfully intelligent and somewhat sadistic minds. You see that sign in the snowfield that says "Do not move forward"? It probably means that there is a "minefield" behind the sign. Using snow as a cover block and a "pressure plate" over a hole, your next square might be a pit fall into some TnT… Also known as your death. Although the most basic trap is the sand/torch trap, they are very effective in eliminating a player that enters a place you do not wish them to go
When Survival Multiplayer gets pumped out I would imagine the modding/software part of the community to go nuts by allowing different modes of play using the current server software. A few of the current ideas waiting on Survival Multiplayer are Castle v Castle PvP, Zombie Survival, Roleplay, Traps and Dungeons, Teambuild, Landfill, and Mob Farming.
This is something I had built a month or two ago. I stopped playing for a bit because I wanted to figure more about how the files were put together and saved. There were many private servers and map editing software for Classic servers. There are several map editors and custom server software now being worked on/coded to work with the Alpha server format. It will take some time but it will be worth it.
Minecraft is a game I highly recommend to anyone looking for something new. It will suck the hours of your day away, and you will love every minute of it. If you ever get bored, you can just go online and find other people or look at what other people have done/gather ideas for your next project. If you don't want to fork up money yet and want to play, remember that Minecraft Classic is still available!
I was thinking of starting up a server… Ill update my hub if I decide to go with it. Probably a 24hour flatland freebuild.

um witch of these has creative mode!!!
I play the classic. It's awesome!!!
Indie games pwn. I think over the last 4-5 years I've spent 95% of my gaming time on indie games. When you have a guy in his garage with a passion for creating a great game the end result is going to be a hell of a lot better than a mega company with an eye on the $$$.

Edge Hill Lecturer Ross Armstrong is set to treat some of the world's greatest sports stars at London's World Athletics Championships starting this week (4 July).
Ross, a Lecturer in Sports Therapy, is volunteering as a physiotherapist at London's Olympic Park where top athletes such as Usain Bolt and Mo Farrah are set to compete.
The capital's biggest sporting event since the 2012 Olympic Games, the ten-day athletics competition is set to attract almost 2000 athletes from over 200 countries. Ross said:
"I'm really looking forward to being right at the heart of the action and ready to respond to any athletes needing treatment before, after or during a session. It's great because I'm likely to end up treating some of the top athletes as well as those visiting from smaller teams and countries.
"It can also be quite a tough role as a high level of diplomacy is required. You might have to advise an athlete that competing might cause them further or serious injury. Ultimately it's up to the athletes if they take that advice, but the smaller teams of maybe only three of four athletes tend to be very grateful for your advice and treatment as they might not have access to physios at home.
"Then there's the variety of treatments on offer from trauma management and first aid to therapy treatments such as massage and ice baths which are proving very popular at the moment."
He added:
"I was last at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park during the Olympic Games and the atmosphere was fantastic. I love athletics and it's great to be able to see world famous athletes, network and work in a team of physiotherapists making real-time decisions."
Ross will spend one week at the tournament before returning to Edge Hill and continuing his latest research into whether physical screening programmes can predict injuries in athletes.

Developers of a proposed 12-unit townhouse project on Elm Street near the Patty Turner Center received feedback from the Deerfield Plan Commission last week before their plans are formally presented to the public.
Avanti Construction Group, Inc. of Highland Park introduced plans to build the three-story townhomes to the commission during a workshop session July 13.
Sitting on two lots at 464 and 502 Elm Street, the property totals just over 1 acre and sits on a block with single family homes, according to a memo from village planners. There is also a multi-family project on the east side of Elm Street a block to the south.
The initial proposal calls for eight four-bedroom units of approximately 4,000 square feet and four three-bedroom units of 3,500 square feet, according to the memo. Gene Revzin, president of Avanti, said he anticipates the four-bedroom townhouses will sell for approximately $759,000 while the price of the three-bedroom units is projected at $599,000.
Members of the commission had concerns about the project's density and potential parking issues should 12 townhouses be built on a pair of lots that now have a single family home on each. The houses would be demolished, according to John Conrad Schiess, an architect and consultant who presented the plans to the commission.
Commissioner Stuart Shayman noted multifamily projects like this one are limited to 10 units per acre. This project would put 12 townhouses on 1.08 acres, which would require a variance from the village.
"I don't know if density will be an issue but it exceeds Taylor Junction by 20 percent," Shayman said, referring to a new nine-unit townhouse project just west of the downtown train station. That development was approved over neighbor objections in 2015.
Each unit will have a two-car garage with six additional outdoor spaces for guests spread over the entire project, according to Schiess. Commissioner Elaine Jacobi wanted to know how residents' guests would be accommodated if there are more than six at a time.
"There is no parking on Elm Street or the cross streets," Jacobi said. "Where will cars be parked for large events?"
Schiess suggested a willingness to compromise and make changes to accommodate the village while also expressing a desire to keep the number of units.
"We're open to suggestions. We're looking for recommendations on that," Schiess said. "We also know the (economic) realities."
Though Revzin said the project is not geared for a particular market, there is space designated in the units for elevators.
"If they don't want the elevator they can have extra storage," Revzin said. "We want to make these homes as flexible as possible. The large units can accommodate families. They will also be good for empty nesters."
Stan Olmen, who lives adjacent to the proposed development, said the project does not fit with the neighborhood.
Latest Deerfield
"This is spot zoning. There is no way to avoid that," Olmen said. "Anybody knows this is too much for the area. There is no way this should be allowed."
Though no date is scheduled yet for a public hearing on the project, Schiess said he will provide an estimate of the property tax revenue that would be generated.
He asked the commission to waive a fiscal impact, marketing and traffic study because of the size of the project. Jacobi indicated that was acceptable.

Bookkeeper Interview Questions – What to ask
Your small business is ready to hire a bookkeeper. What's the next step? Whether you interview in person or on the phone, have your questions ready. The bookkeeper will likely be interviewing you and gauging your preparedness and business acumen. A good bookkeeper interview is a give and take process.
Ken Reid of MasterType Accounting & Business Services, P.C. in Chicago shares his tips and the questions to ask.
Ken: Do you know how to determine which bookkeeper is best for your business? Business owners tend to place a lot of emphasis on how much the bookkeeper will charge. The Bookkeeper Interview Questions outlined below are designed help you determine value during the interview process!
1. Does the bookkeeper also have accounting knowledge?
Not all bookkeepers have the same skill sets. Depending on your needs, a bookkeeper with knowledge of accounting principals, one who understands the difference between debits and credits, can be a huge plus. Ask accounting-related questions to test the knowledge of the applicant.
2. What types of industry experience does the bookkeeper have?
Many bookkeepers work with any and all types of businesses. This should be a consideration if the business is in an industry that has special requirements or specific nuances.
3. How many clients does the bookkeeper have?
A bookkeeper with too few clients may be an indication that they don't have much experience. On the other hand, if a bookkeeper has many clients, the bookkeeper may not be able to handle the additional workload created by taking on a new client. When interviewing, ask about their schedule and what you can expect of their time allotment for your work.
4. Does the bookkeeping firm have employees to help with the workload?
Ask your potential bookkeeper if they have employees that work with them, or if they have trusted associates that can step in and help out in case of an emergency (such as illness, natural disaster, etc.). Inquire as to the skill level of those employees as well.
5. How does the bookkeeper perform the work?
Some bookkeepers go to the client's office to do the work, other only work from their own office and remotely access client files. Are you comfortable allowing your documents to leave your office, or do you require the bookkeeping work be done at your office?
6. Who will keep the accounting/bookkeeping records?
Will the bookkeeper be responsible for keeping all accounting and bookkeeping software records or will you store them? Allowing the bookkeeper to keep the records can be more cost effective – your business does not have to purchase software. However, keeping the records at the business location can be advantageous when it comes to printing and accessing reports. It can also add a layer of document security.
7. If the bookkeeper keeps the accounting/bookkeeping records, who ultimately owns the records?
If the bookkeeper owns the software, he or she is not required to provide the business owner with a backup of the data file. The bookkeeper is, however, required to provide the business owner with appropriate paper reports (such as a trial balance, general ledger, etc.).
If the business owner owns the data file and provides a copy or backup of the data file to the bookkeeper, then the business owns the data, and the bookkeeper is required to provide the latest backup of that data file to the business owner.
This particular topic has created a lot of debate over the last couple of years because so much work is now done over the internet, and a lot of accounting and bookkeeping software is "hosted" on the internet.
8. How much experience should a bookkeeper have?
The more experience a bookkeeper has, especially working with businesses similar to yours, the better. However, you should also consider how much experience the bookkeeper has using the accounting software used in your business (such as QuickBooks). If you do not have accounting softwares, you should ask the bookkeeper how they intend to keep your books, what applications or software they will be using, especially if you plan to implement a system in the future.
9. How will the bookkeeper deal with and handle special or unforeseen situations ?
Such situations can be natural disasters, fire, flood, illness, death of a key employee. How the bookkeeper will handle such a situation can tell you a lot about the bookkeeper, and whether or not the bookkeeper is as experienced they are in disaster recovery.
10. Is the bookkeeper certified (Certified Bookkeeper) or certified in the accounting software they will be using?
Ask to see the credentials of the bookkeeper, especially if the bookkeeper claims to be a Certified Bookkeeper or if the bookkeeper claims to be certified in a specific software (such as a Certified QuickBooks® ProAdvisor ). The bookkeeper should have these certifications posted in their office or readily available for your review and verification.
The above 10 factors are not all inclusive, but should assist in interviewing a potential bookkeepers. While the cost is important, it should not be the only factor in deciding whether or not to hire one bookkeeper over another. If all things are equal between several bookkeepers, then the cost would become a more important factor in making the hiring decision.

Kenneth Reid mentioned good questions. I specialize in fixing bookkeeping messes, which I see a lot. Another question should be 'how much experience does the bookkeeper have in fixing bookkeeping messes?".

As a young boy my father and I travelled to many cities to complete my father's work. My father worked as a transcriber, we would often travel to cities just to stay in their library and copy their tomes. During these times I entertained myself with reading every book I could get my hands on. As I got older I read more adventurously and started reading books that entailed magic, daemons and other treacherous things. After turning eighteen I left my father and started research into creating a pact with a patron.
Patron: Traegon the Possessed
There was a legend in a book I read once, a crazed warlock who attempted to summon a powerful daemon. His plan was to bring on a new age of evil and fear by letting the daemon conquer the world. He saw the daemon as a god that would bring his new age and he was just his disciple.
After years of research and preparation he was almost ready but at the same time a force lead by a formidable Paladin knight named Traegon sort to stop the summoning from happening. Once they found the location of the summons it was already underway, the warlock at prepared a huge homunculus that the daemon would poses. The warlock was easily killed, he died happy as he knew the ritual had already commenced and could not be stopped. The spell was far more complicated than anything Traegon or his men had ever seen , the homunculus stood on the summoning circle that would inevitably bring the daemon into their world. All the efforts to stop the spell failed, Traegon using his immense strength threw the homunculus from its post but upon trying to leave the circle he found himself trapped. The warlock had precautions against someone trying to stop the summons , Traegon knew that the must always must one being in the circle.
The ritual was almost complete as a crack in reality formed behind the Traegon starting the opening the portal to the daemons realm. Traegon's men began to hoist the homunculus back towards the circle to free Treagon. As they prepared for the switch Traegon stopped, He knew what he had to do. He instructed his men to stop , lay down their weapons and channel any power they had into his body. He then turned round the now gaping portal. His men where now praying and channeling all energy into Traegons body and soul, streams of golden magic wound their way into his body at the same time thick black tendrils started to latch on to his body from the portal. The black tendrils pinned his arms behind him , thrusting his chest towards the portal , the portal was now much larger than Traegon and finally a mass of energy came rushing through, straight into the body of Traegon.
He dropped to the ground and began to writhe with the pain of his pure mind being taken over but such evil being. As the initial shock wore off Traegon steadied himself. With great force of will he knelt up , his face was clearly strained as the daemon continued to try and take control. Traegon had a powerful soul and the internal battle between them was evident each movement was a great struggle. It wasn't clear who was winning but they stood up. Traegon then gathered all his conceivable strength to his final struggle and with the determination that could only come with someone truly devoted to preserving his world he shakily walked back through the portal sealing it behind him and banishing the daemon back to its realm.
The story says, that battle was the most important battle between good and evil that world has ever seen, two truly powerful beings…
After reading about this legend I couldn't help but wonder what happened to Traegon and the daemon. After years of research and experimentation I concluded that their souls would have fused together and they could be summoned in a similar way to how a warlock summons a regular daemons. However in all my studies and research there no history of these event ever happening, I had read all legends, myths and historical tomes but nothing sounded remotely similar.
Once they were summoned they were unable to agree on a pact because each one sort a different goal. The daemon agreed to give me power in return for causing chaos and spreading evil however Traegon would only agree to be summoned if I would use his strength to aid this world.
I formulated a way in which they could both agree , a way where they would both exist in me but they would no longer need to fight each other. Much like a coin they could both be present in me without ever facing each other.

Intentions - and Hostas
Dean's brother, Alan, and s-i-l, Alyce were here for a very short visit. It was wonderful to see them. I meant to take a picture of their sleek green motor home but the time got away. It is just like a playhouse for adults on the inside; everything is there, but all in miniature. Of course it was immaculate, everything in its place. They have lots of Hostas in Omaha, Nebraska where they live (about 600 - Alyce is the Hosta Queen!) and having divided them this fall, they brought us bags of them to plant under our huge hackberry tree. They not only brought them, they planted them!! Fifty-three of them. I picked up a few stray leaves and planted about three of them. I did sift roots out of the soil when Alan dug the holes and do little bits, but A and A were amazing. So generous with their plants and their time and effort. The Alyce Mae Jensen Berk Hosta garden should be wonderful next year and even better the next year when the plants have established and started spreading again. I plan to add some impatiens next spring when they have leaves but haven't spread to their full size. It will be beautiful.
Now that the Hosta garden is planted, we will really have to get on with our planned work out there, THE FENCE for example and the new plans we have made. When I get the plans drawn I will try to share them with you. There will be paving and planting areas and seating areas and... I am dreaming big!
I have been trying to draw myself from photos I have taken. Real likenesses are hard for me to draw. I can make something look like a person, but not necessarily a specific person. I am not sure if drawing yourself is more difficult or easier. Anyway, here is my effort. There will be more. Until I get it right.
I have just finished reading the second Tana French novel. Ms. French lives in Ireland and sets her stories there. In the two I have read, the protagonist is male and in some branch of police work. Both novels deal with going back into the hero's past life and is as much or more character study as it is mystery. Character-driven stories are thought-provoking and involving; I plan to read at least one more work of hers. Her second offering, which wasn't available last week, is The Likeness. I have it on my list for next week. Now I will begin with The Fall of Giants on CDs. Previously I have only listened to books in the car, so I am not sure how this will work. Perhaps I can find some handwork to do while I listen. If not, I will have to check out the book which is long and heavy. I don't know if my wrists are up to it yet :-).
Pictures next time. And next weekend is the wedding which is certain to be a good time for all of us. Meanwhile, take care of yourselves, and let me hear from you. I send you my best wishes for a wonderful day.

Last week we took a better look at how you can find a unique market for the work you do. Hopefully, that post was able to drum up some ideas of what audiences you are most equipped to work with out there.
I had split this information up because of how massive the text was getting, so I wanted to make sure you had enough time to process ways to find the people you should be reaching out to with your products and services.
I have this friend, who every time I say that I just spent a few months learning this new thing, she chimes in with
"What good to you is a resource if you don't evaluate or try to use what it teaches?"
Well, that's what she had said when I was talking a while back about having been learning more about finding my niche.
When you have found the market that you're most equipped to serve you now have to figure out how to reach them where it will be most effective.
When I had met with Juan in April, we had talked about the contacts that we have that we might reach out to in our network about doing work together.
He has a decent amount of clients that he's still in contact with but like all of us doing client work, we wonder how we can expand what we do and start getting the clients that we want.
When we consider reaching out to people within our network about business opportunities, sometimes we risk sounding like the dark-end of marketers who consistently try to "use" a person to gain what they want. But one thing we have as designers, and hopefully you have learned this skill by now, is the ability to find out what it is that your market wants, and deliver that to them through what you do.
The easiest way for us to know what someone wants is to do some research on the customers that we are trying to reach.
Why? As designers, we should be getting into the mindset of the people that we are designing for. Just like we do for other people's businesses, we need to do so for our own companies.
There is a lot of stigma against using fake customer personas, and though I recommend having actual conversations with people in your niche, sometimes that's not possible yet, and you'll have to make do with some "ideal" candidates that you made for your company.
Maybe later, I'll create a resource on how to talk to people who are in your target market, let me know if that'd be helpful and I can work on making that (:
By putting together a few of these customer personas together, **you're getting a decent set of key things to look for **when talking to people within your network.
These personas also should give you useful insights into the habits they have and the opportunities you have to reach them.
Think of yourself as a bird watcher
These by no means replace an actual interaction you might get with somebody who works in the specific space you're trying to reach.
But understand that as you start to do work with other people or have people buying your thing, this starts to inform how correct your initial customer persona was and who you're actually attracting with your business.
This is something that I help companies with personally through So Magnetic.
As an example, here's what I put together for a previous client
The type of people most likely to be making a decision of which company to hire for recruitment campaigns are working in the pharmaceutical and biotech fields.
They are scientists and business people coordinating the hundreds of moving parts required to run clinical trials and get drugs approved by the FDA. It's not their first rodeo.
Most people who have hired CM already are baby boomers or in their 40s The main decision makers CM wants to get hired by are older folks who have years of experience in the pharma world.
They would rather pay a little more to have a sure-fire service that actually WORKS than pay less for a crappier service that may or may not work.
CM's clients are typically less impressed by bells and whistles and more impressed by data and numbers.
The type of companies that CM's target market is going to come into contact with are:
Competition: (other biotech and pharmaceutical companies)
Search engine results: Clinical Research Companies vying for attention on SEO
Medical research media companies: (Medical journals, etc)
Regulated institutions that approve drugs from clinical trials
Some of you may have to go deeper than this, but others may not have to dive so far. It's up to you to decide. Just know that it's best to get familiar with your ideal clients and customers for your goals.
Access is something that is not taken by force. It has to be welcomed by the people who are already there or have been there before. If we have looked at who we are best equipped to help, have a decent understanding of what they value
The beauty of the internet is that everybody uses the internet.
And the fact that everybody uses the internet means that you can ask the same questions they ask when trying to achieve something, and all you need to do is go to our favorite search engine and type in:
"How do I [whatever it is that your niche struggles with]?" (This was covered in part 1)
When I do the research that I need to craft ideal brand identities for companies, I take what I know of the customers that my clients are looking to reach out to and I look for the things they are most likely to look up when they are trying to achieve what my client offers.
This activity ends up giving me a good list of:
With this list in hand, I can now** look at specific ways that are opportunities for us to do differently or "Shake up" what people already know** about their space.
Not every area needs disruption, so it's essential to move with tact and not barge in with your solution.
Imagine if you're a smelly dude that uses a specific bar of soap. Someone burst into your bathroom while you were showering trying to sell you a different type of body wash. I imagine this wouldn't be received very well.
If you had a conversation somewhere else with them first, maybe they might consider your solution in a way that didn't require you barging in on sacred spaces like that.
Maybe they met at a bar, a concert, a clothing store, etc. and that is where the product was introduced.
Maybe he had been following your product for months until he made the decision to switch to it. You never know until you consider where they hang out and at what part of the buyer's journey someone is at with your brand.
I know what you're thinking.
My niche market doesn't actually hang out online… there's no place for them to hangout there
Who is currently leading the space to what you do?
This gives you a place to look and see what ways they may be reaching the market you've been facing with a blank stare for a while. A way that gives you a fresh perspective outside of your own and may unlock a door that you haven't thought about or actually dismissed in this process.
They probably still have a Facebook account
If my grandmothers and grandfathers have a facebook account, more than likely there is a facebook group that deals with a specific area that you are trying to reach. Use the search bar to look up various facebook groups that are within the space where you're looking.
They are probably reading books or articles about what they do.
Someone somewhere has probably created a book, a magazine, a newsletter (like the physical kind) that answers questions about what it is that your market is looking for. What you can do here is find out how they get their content and look for doors that may be open or can be opened with some digging.
There's probably an activity they do, or is common in their market. Use their personas
If they are offline, truly, there has to be some local place they go within their community to either learn more about what they do or to unwind. See if it's accessible for you to meet someone in that area and get in the face to face conversations of the people you want to service.
Consider traditional advertising
Advertising isn't dead yet. As long as the generations before us continue to survive, their traditional forms of media will still be valid. If Baby Boomers continue to listen to radio talk shows, consider a 15-second advert to place on their common traits you've discovered. Consider looking at tv, magazines, newspapers, editorials, newsletters, billboards, bulletin boards, charity and booth events, etc.
Wedge yourself into their environment in some way
Seriously, sometimes catching a door with your foot (either figuratively or literally) and making yourself known to them in a way that still adds value to their daily lives may be effective enough. Get a golf membership, a gym membership, join their book club, get in person contact some way and just add value to the thing they are already doing. People have been using this technique for ages. Watch any movie from 1985–2006 and there's probably someone trying to catch a door before it closes with someone they wanted to talk to behind it.
Choose an easier to access niche or solve another problem you're passionate about.
Seriously, look at all the work to be done. If you have the grit and the stomach for it, go ahead, just know that there are probably some easier things to solve first that may give you enough scratch to consider going after your first selected market in the first place. Consider the value of your efforts versus the value of the reward received as a result of your efforts. If the tradeoff makes sense. Keep going, otherwise, pivot.
So if you have the opportunity to talk to someone in your niche market, you want to get as close to actual in-person communication as possible.
People don't do business with businesses, they do business with people.
The hierarchy of what is best usually flows like this, and people may show up at any of these entrance points. The first method of communication is greater than the next…
In person > video call > phone call > email > recommendation > FaceBook > support chat on your site > fillable questionnaire
When you have the opportunity, meet face to face. Every step back is one more obstacle for a new prospect to trust your business. There is a magic about being able to see what someone honestly feels about doing work with you. And that gets masked the more someone is removed from the human and replaced by a business.
If everything here is still ineffective, consider leveraging the network that exists for you personally.
There are only six degrees of separation that connect you to every living human being on the planet.
So if you know somebody, they may know somebody who knows somebody that eventually leads to new leads and prospects.
How many people are actually on this planet doesn't matter, I'm sure there's more than a 1 in 10 billion chance someone needs what you're selling.
That's why next week we'll be talking about how you can build domain expertise with what it is you do, and ways that you can challenge the leaders.
Hopefully, you take some time to work on finding and connecting with the audience of people you're trying to reach.
Finding a niche is difficult, but if you need some help, reach out and we can work on it together. (:

Since the inception of videogames there has been a silent war going on between advocates of varying consoles. PlayStation players have it in for Xbox players, both of them get flak from the PC master-race while all of the above scoff at the efforts of mobile gamers for their casual approach to entertainment. Each of these platforms come with their advantages and attracts gamers of particular types, while for the most part, game titles are shared across them. Though this hasn't really been the case with mobile, where games have been specifically developed to work with the functionality of devices such as phones and apps; where cross platform games have come out for these devices, they have been shaved down to base functionality, or have been released many years after the original at such time when the tech of mobile devices has caught up with their high-performance predecessors.
But times are starting to change, it seems that every game developer worth their salt is starting to tack onto mobile and the popular following it seems to be generating. So let's have a look at some of the ways in which massive game developers have been leveraging mobile to give their fans what they want.
Electronic Arts
EA have been massive players in the gaming industry for as long as anyone cares to remember, and despite what you may think about them, they have always been on the forefront of new developments, even if their competitors seem to get it right more often than they do. They are no stranger to publishing mobile games, and in fact have an impressive repertoire of titles on multiple platforms. Though they are most well-known for their PC and platform titles, their mobile gaming list is extensive. Their entire range of Pop-Cap games can be used on mobile devices, including their popular 'Plants VS Zombies' title which is also available on PC.
Warner Brothers
Warner Brothers Studios publish an impressive range of media for a number of devices, and gaming is a fairly new addition to their skillset. They have put themselves on the map by purchasing the rights for Mortal Kombat from Midway, and have since released a number of games under the umbrella. They are also particularly well-known for their Lord of the Rings series which includes 'Shadow of Mordor' and 'Shadow of War', though the series has very recently also been adapted to mobile platforms.
Square Enix
Square Enix is well known for their open-world turn-based style games such as the hugely successful Final Fantasy series. They have a history of best-selling titles that dates as far back as the 90's, and most of the games in their collection have been (where possible) adapted to mobile. Almost the entire Final Fantasy series, which was designed for computers and consoles during a simpler time, has now been adapted for mobile gaming on iOS and Android.
Epic Games
Epic Games is a massive and long standing developer that has been responsible for some of the biggest names in gaming since their inception. They started the Unreal series, which also showcased their Unreal Engine which has been used to develop hundreds of award-winning games over the years. In that time they have catered well to the mobile market with titles like 'Infinity Blade'. The recent success of their latest title, 'Fortnite' a console and PC title, has also lead to talks about it going mobile.
It's Time for You to Go Mobile
With all this movement towards mobile, it is easy to see which way the wind is blowing in terms of its popularity. Why not let your business get in on the trends by having a mobile app developed that will put your brand in the head-space and palm of your audience. Contact a representative from Applord today to find out more, or visit our website for details.

Second in the St Leger at three, Crystal Ocean has really come into his own since switching back to middle distances - and this term has marked a new high in his career.
A comfortable winner of two Group Threes in the early part of the year, he claimed a deserved Group One verdict with an outstanding display in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.
His team must have thought the summer could not get much better than that, but Crystal Ocean then came off a narrow second best to Enable in what was a race for the ages in last month's King George.
Going head to head for the final two furlongs, the 3lb Crystal Ocean was forced to concede perhaps proved crucial at the death - but it was a career-best effort that sees him line up here on an official mark of 127.
That puts him 7lb clear of his nearest rival - and while Japan could be interesting for Aidan O'Brien, it is hard to go against the likely short-priced favourite.
O'Brien could well be on the mark on the opening day, with Constantinople fancied to strike in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes.
He has to turn around Goodwood form with Nayef Road, but there is every reason to think he can do so off level weights.
Beaten just a neck in the Gordon Stakes, he did not really help himself by hanging in the finish - and his rider will surely be alive to that possibility this time.
Persuasion made an impressive debut at Goodwood, and can take a swift step up in class in his stride in the Tattersalls Acomb Stakes.
A 16-1 outsider at the Sussex track, he defied those odds to run out a cosy half-length winner of a well-contested maiden event - and there appeared to be plenty more to come.
Justanotherbottle was another to run at Goodwood - and while he had to settle for fifth in the Stewards' Cup, the winner that day looked a certain future Group race victor.
The Sky Bet And Symphony Group Handicap is also competitive enough, but Declan Carroll's charge should not be ruled out.
Ebor Festival - opening day selections
1.55 Justanotherbottle, 2.25 PERSUASION (NAP) 3.00 Constantinople, 3.35 Crystal Ocean, 4.15 Infrastructure, 4.50 Malvern.

Ladies: Look what I found https://www.facebook.com/SMMSolutionsGroup/?modal=admin_todo_tour
I am so blessed to have met you at San Diego Career Conference. Although I am not in your area I am committed to your birthday Challenge! Doing a Mother's Day vendor event and focusing on your satin body rollup bag!
Cindy, Thank you so much for the call this evening! It was inspiring, and when you said "you never know, when you sow a seed, when it will come to fruition.." I got tears in my eyes. I had to start DIQ for the third time, and have been fighting discouragement. But today, after I had done a round out in the community, trying to sell my Christmas gift sets and not getting any takers, I came home, planted my feet wide, took a deep breath, and said- in front of John, my husband, raising my hands like you do "I am a victor not a a victim!". Then I called some customers, and a husband of a a customer, and got sales for about $200, AND scheduled some facials with new leads, and after that my hope was up again! Thank you for being our leader, and paving the way for other women, showing that a woman coming out of "nothing" can be successful and a blessing to others! I will see you in San Diego! Merry Christmas! Maria
Welcome to our Website! We would love your feedback and kind words for Senior National Sales Director, Cindy Williams!

Will Froome win fourth title? Tour de France route & challengers
The 104th edition of the Tour de France will have to go some way to beat the extraordinary scenes of last year.
The sight of race leader Chris Froome running up Mont Ventoux, frantically searching for a bike, any bike, to replace his mangled machine which lay strewn on the mountain will live long in the memory.
So too will fellow Briton Adam Yates' misfortune when the 1km to go inflatable collapsed on him during stage seven.
And so too will the seven stage wins by British riders – including four for Mark Cavendish – matching the record set in 2012.
What stories will this year's race, which starts on Saturday and runs for three weeks across 3,540 kilometres (2,200 miles), throw up?
Will Froome complete his third straight win and a fourth victory in five years? Will Cavendish become the leading stage winner of all time? Will we finally see a French winner after a 31-year drought?
- 'Like playing poker on wheels' – inside Froome's secret world of climbing
- How Froome won the 2016 Tour de France
Where does the race go?
A total of 198 riders from 22 nine-man teams will set off on the 21-stage race. It takes in four countries and features two individual time trials, nine flat, five hilly and five mountainous stages.
And race organisers appear intent on breaking Team Sky's recent dominance, which has been characterised by their ability to control the pace of the race. The mountain climbs are generally shorter and steeper, while two short individual time trials should not allow Froome to gain too much on his challengers.
The German city of Dusseldorf hosts the opening individual time trial and the start of stage two, which finishes in Liege, Belgium.
Dusseldorf stepped in after an abrupt U-turn from Transport for London scuppered a bid for the race to start in the English capital.
From Belgium, the race heads through Luxembourg and on into north-eastern France and then south towards the Alps to end week one.
A rest-day transfer to the Dordogne region in the west is followed by a second week dominated by the Pyrenees mountains before the Alps take centre-stage for the final week.
For the first time since 1992, the race visits all five of France's main mountain ranges, but there are just three summit finishes.
Will Froome win?
The man himself says he is "fresher" than he has ever been but he goes into the race without a victory in 2017. The 32-year-old's three Tour triumphs were all preceded by winning the traditional Tour warm-up, the Criterium du Dauphine, but he only finished fourth this year.
Froome concedes that "this year's Tour suits Richie Porte really well", while his own Team Sky race director Nicolas Portal says they will have to "find a new way to win" because the race features fewer individual time trialling kilometres – just 37.5km – than ever before and fewer mountain climbs and summit finishes than last year.
Still, it's hard to back against him.
He will expect to be stronger than his main rivals in the two races against the clock – on stages one and 20 – and he has eight team-mates who are well-versed in looking after their leader, keeping him out of trouble on sprint stages and delivering him to the foot of mountain climbs in the perfect position.
The first big test for those hoping to challenge will come with the summit finish at La Planche des Belles Filles on stage five. If that mountain sounds familiar, it's because Froome won his first Tour stage there in 2012.
The ability to descend quickly is also going to play a huge part in this edition, with three stages finishing at the bottom of mountains.
Prior to last year's race, Froome was not considered as one of the sport's best at going downhill – but he answered his critics in fine style with a winning attack on stage eight that put him in the yellow jersey.
Belgian Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain of Spain and French pair Bernard Hinault and Jacques Anquetil have won a joint-record five Tours de France each. A fourth victory for Froome will elevate him to fifth on the list and cement his place among those legends.
Froome's main challengers
Former Team Sky team-mate Richie Porte is the man in form this year, winning a couple of early-season stage races and finishing second in the Criterium du Dauphine.
However, whether the 32-year-old Australian has the legs for the three-week test ahead is debatable. He took over as Team Sky's leader when Froome pulled out after a crash in 2014, but he struggled in the high mountains and finished 23rd.
His best result was last year's fifth but the BMC Racing rider tends to have one bad day that destroys his chances.
Nairo Quintana is one of the few who can ride away from Froome in the mountains and the paucity of time trialling this year race will also help the 27-year-old Colombian's cause – but he needs to be more aggressive.
It will be interesting to see if the Movistar rider, who has twice finished runner-up to Froome (2013 and 2015) is helped or hindered by competing in Italy's equivalent race, the Giro d'Italia, where he finished second in May.
Should Quintana fade, Movistar have Spanish veteran Alejandro Valverde in their ranks. The 37-year-old won his home tour – the Vuelta a Espana – in 2009 and has had seven other podium finishes, including third at the 2015 Tour.
Alberto Contador has won all three Grand Tours at least twice, but while the 34-year-old Spaniard is not as feared as he once was, he will be a marked rider.
Expect dancing on the pedals and sharp attacks in the high mountains as the Trek-Segafredo rider tries to shake up those chasing podium places.
Italy's big hope for the race is Fabio Aru. The Astana man is only 26 but his aggressive riding in the mountains helped him win his solitary Grand Tour to date – the 2015 Vuelta.
He has a super-domestique in Jakob Fuglsang and the Dane is in terrific form, having attacked on the final stage to beat Porte at the Dauphine. However, the 32-year-old's ambitions of a podium finish will be tempered by Aru's progress.
What price a French winner? Home fans will not need reminding that they have had little to celebrate since Bernard Hinault's victory back in 1985.
Romain Bardet carries the weight of the nation's expectations this year. The 26-year-old AG2R-La Mondiale rider finished runner-up to Froome in 2016, but he was more than four minutes adrift. Again, a lack of individual time trials will help the climbing specialist, but can he take on Froome in the high mountains?
Can Cav catch Eddy?
From a British point of view, the most interesting sub-plot in a race that always features many, will be whether Cavendish can equal, or even surpass Belgian legend Merckx's record of 34 Tour stage wins.
The 'Manx Missile' starts his 11th Tour on 30 and in half of the previous 10 he has won at least four stages.
And with nine designated 'flat' stages this year, you would think there would be ample opportunity for the team Dimension Data sprint specialist to add to his tally.
However, the 32-year-old has missed three months of this year after being diagnosed with glandular fever, caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.
Cavendish returned in the Tour of Slovenia in mid-June and also rode in the British national championships, on the Isle of Man.
But he said of his inclusion in this year's race: "If I am being totally honest, had this not been the Tour de France we may have collectively taken a different approach."
Having written all that, Cavendish went into last year's race unsure of his form after spending much of the year training for an Olympic medal tilt on the track in Rio and he went on to claim his first yellow jersey and four stage wins.
Who can stop Cavendish?
German sprinters Andre Greipel and Marcel Kittel are the most likely candidates.
A former team-mate of Cavendish, Greipel has won 11 Tour stages, while Kittel has picked up nine.
Also keep an eye out for 24-year-old rising star Dylan Groenewegen. The Dutchman had three top-10 finishes on his Tour debut last year and Tour de Yorkshire fans will recognise his name after he won stage one in 2016 and 2017.
National road champion Arnaud Demare, 25, and 26-year-old Nacer Bouhanni are the French hopes. Bouhanni, you may recall, had to withdraw from last year's Tour after injuring his hand in an altercation at a hotel.
The race for green
Slovakia's Peter Sagan is favourite to retain the green points jersey that he has won in such entertaining fashion for the past five years and equal Erik Zabel's record.
The classification rewards consistently high finishes on each stage and because Sagan has a rare ability to mix with the sprinters and tackle minor climbs he has dominated the classification since Cavendish took the title in 2011.
However, race organisers also appear keen to stop Sagan's fun and give the pure sprinters more of a sniff.
Will Sagan find a way of accumulating enough points? The race for green should keep the Tour interesting on days when Froome and his rivals are busy reserving their energy for the mountains.
Any other Brits in the race?
Yes. Seven.
Welsh duo Geraint Thomas and Luke Rowe will be part of Team Sky's nine-man squad.
Thomas is riding in his eighth Tour, having been a key domestique for Froome in each of his three previous wins. He had been Team Sky's leader in May's Giro d'Italia but his race was ultimately ended by a crash involving a police motorbike.
Joining Cavendish in Team Dimension Data are Yorkshireman Scott Thwaites and newly crowned national road race and time trial champion Steven Cummings. The 36-year-old has won two Tour stages, including a solo victory last year.
Simon Yates will share Tour leadership duties for Orica-Scott. The 24-year-old climber won a stage and finished sixth in the 2016 Vuelta a Espana. Will he emulate his twin brother Adam, who won the white jersey as best young rider in 2016?
Sprinter Dan McLay, who impressed with four top-10 finishes on his Tour debut last year, returns with the Fortuneo-Vital Concept team, while former Sky rider Ben Swift will be racing for UAE Team Emirates.

From agencies' use of public cloud platforms to agile development methodologies, old acquisition methods are unable to keep up with the pace and process required by modernization and digital transformation goals across government. In fact, the Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act was implemented to allocate funds specifically for the update of legacy IT systems to help agencies improve service delivery to the public, secure sensitive data and systems, and increase efficiency. To meet these mandates, procurement processes and technology have to change to be more in tune with the digital transformations happening at the operational level.

Understanding Suspicious Zero Second Calls
Some people or groups utilize a method of stealing phone time for profit called "grey routing." This is the process of routing calls through an exposed phone server in order to make the calls for free. The Barracuda Phone System does not allow any inbound public calls to route back outbound without first being authenticated by the telephony engine (either via registration or via IP authorized sites), or by diverting an inbound call outbound via Find Me Forwarding. The Barracuda Phone System logs all call attempts, successful and unsuccessful, that reach the Server. These calls will not be successful, but they are noted so that a record of the attempt exists. There is no cause for concern when they are found.
Call Records with Destinations that would never Route on the PSTN
In addition to people or groups attempting to commit toll fraud by grey routing calls, there are still more people and entities that maliciously attempt to take PBXs such as the Barracuda Phone System offline by bombarding the unit with thousands of call attempts per second. This is an industry-wide problem. Even large ITSPs have been affected by these malicious parties.
Stop Suspicious Zero Second Calls
If you download the CSV file of the CDRs during or immediately after the event, the network_addr column displays the offending source IP address of the attacker. You can block this IP address at the edge firewall or directly via the Barracuda Phone System's built-in software firewall (if using the WAN interface) on the CONFIGURATION > Security page.
Another way to mitigate these attacks is by restricting access inbound on your edge firewall or the built-in software firewall (if using the WAN interface) to the Barracuda Phone System on port(s) UDP/TCP/5060 and UDP/TCP/5065 to only trusted IP addresses (i.e., signaling gateway of ITSP/SIP provider for port 5060 and remote IP addresses of all authorized users for port 5065). It can also be beneficial to limit access for unauthorized IP addresses to the web interface (tcp/80) and/or NTP server (udp/123) to further reduce DoS attack vectors.
Mitigating New Attacks
The Barracuda Phone System firmware is constantly being updated with new technologies that attempt to automatically block these types of attacks. However, it is a constant struggle and these types of attacks will continue to affect all IP-based PBXs for the foreseeable future.

As I mentioned yesterday, we are excitedly preparing for our trip to the snow next week. So, this week we went ice skating! (Actually, it had nothing to do with preparing for the snow and everything to do with an expiring Groupon, but hey –) I was super excited to have an afternoon date with my 2 oldest!
Aren't they cute? 🙂
The difference between this ice skating trip and Natalie's birthday just 7 weeks earlier was amazing! The roller blades have definitely made a huge difference in their ability to skate. No falling or holding walls — just fun skating!
And, did I mention we were the only ones there? At least for the first half hour.. gotta love being homeschoolers!

Billy Jones Presents: Yumi Zouma & Maria Usbeck
Release Show
About this event
Saturday, May 28th 10pm
Yumi Zouma
Since the release of their debut EP in 2014, Yumi Zouma's evolution has been brisk and organic ‐ a shoreline reflecting the changing tides of its ocean. The band sold‐out their first EP twice‐over before its release and before having ever played live, but each member's disparate living arrangements meant that live shows or even further releases were unexpected. Having grown up together in Christchurch, New Zealand, they scattered after school, moving to Auckland, Paris and New York, collaborating over email to create Yumi Zouma's initial material. However, the intense reception to these early tracks resulted in the group's first practices taking place on arena stages, as they were asked on tour by both Chet Faker and Lorde.
2015 saw the launch of their EP II, alongside multiple tours of Europe, North America, Australia and Asia, before a deluxe EP Collection 12" was released at the end of the year. These dizzying days on the road finally enabled the band to write together in the same place at the same time, and during a three‐week pause in Paris, they set to work on their debut album. Where the previous EPs were created in isolation, capturing the nuances of each member's life half a world away, the new material was given a singular voice. After a week of mixing in Philippe Zdar's Motorbass studio, the self‐recorded‐and‐produced Yoncalla was born.
Maria Usbeck
Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, the south of Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn.
Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.
Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak".

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A Pittsburgh defense attorney is accused of trying to cover up his friend's fatal overdose.
According to the criminal complaint, 37-year-old Kevin Abramovitz is accused of not calling 911 to report a fatal overdose and then trying to cover it up.
The incident happened back in late June inside an apartment in Squirrel Hill on Annette Way. The apartment is owned by Abramovitz.
Abramovitz was allowing his long-time friend to stay in the vacant apartment.
During the afternoon of June 24, the victim and two others began using heroin. The drug was said to have been purchased in the Hill District with the label "Call of Duty."
The criminal complaint says one of the witnesses passed out and woke up to find the unnamed victim unconscious on the floor.
According to police, Abramovitz and his girlfriend, Danielle Smith, had been at the apartment earlier, but left. They returned after hearing about the overdose.
Smith performed CPR, while Abramovitz tried using Narcan on the victim. Neither of their efforts were successful.
Abramovitz and Smith allegedly told the others not to talk to anyone about the incident and not to call police because they might get in trouble.
Police then say Abramovitz had the body moved. The body of the victim was found wrapped in a purple comforter near a house on Fair Oaks Street.
Witnesses say Abramovitz and Smith moved the victim's car three blocks, wore rubber gloves and went as far as to wipe the car clean of any fingerprints and potential DNA evidence.
The couple also reportedly destroyed a cell phone belonging to the victim.
Abramovitz and Smith were arrested and released without bond. A call to the attorney representing Abramovitz was not returned.
When Smith was arrested, police say several drugs were found in her possession, including Xanax and methamphetamine. An investigation showed the drugs belonged to Abramovitz.
Abramovitz was arrested earlier this month and is facing a list of charges including, recklessly endangering another person, conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance and intimidation of witnesses.

There is no such thing as gay sex.
There is also no such thing as straight sex, any more than there's such a thing as "nerd sex" (not even if we're talking about people role-playing Data and Tasha Yar in "The Naked Now") or "blond-haired sex" or "Asian sex."
Sex can happen in countless different ways with countless different combinations of participants. Each sexual encounter is unique. There is nothing wrong with having terminology to describe those many permutations, because it's important that we all be able to discuss sex openly and accurately.
But when we preface the word sex itself with sweeping adjectives, the same pejoration effect occurs that happens when we put disabilities before people. Consider the difference between the phrases "bipolar woman" and "person with bipolar disorder." One is longer than the other, sure, but it conveys so much more, connotatively. It reminds us that an illness is just one part of a person, and that there is still an individual coexisting with the symptoms. It conveys a complexity that instantly makes the noun in question seem more real and sympathetic.
By the same token, when we use terms like "straight sex" and "gay sex," we put the assumptions associated with the adjective before nuanced concept of sex. As a result, we are drawn to a homogeneous (mis)conception of a broad category or "type" of sexual encounter. When people hear "gay sex," they likely imagine anal intercourse. "Lesbian sex," on the contrary, might bring to mind dildos and toys. (Because how could women fuck without some analog of a penis?) We focus on this category as the defining feature of the encounter, rather than identifying its specific characteristics.
When we, instead, talk about "sex between two women" or "between two nongendered people" or "between three strangers" or "in married couples," just as a few examples, we first emphasize the commonality of the act; whatever connotations the word sex has for each person, we are prompted by this phrasing to first consider them, and then to move on, mentally, to narrowing down the pertinent characteristics of the encounter.
As much as we can, if we're to improve our culture's treatment of sexuality, we need to first treat sex as sex and decide what that means to us, not waste our breath on facile, erroneous "types." So stop having gay sex and straight sex, and start just having sex. It's way better that way.
What are your thoughts on the language we use to talk about sex and sexuality? Leave me a comment– I love reading them!
