Let's start to feel sorry for the bullies that make our life a misery. We have all felt their presence and animosity in our childhood and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that you can still be a victim even into old age.

Artist(s): Pirupa; remix by DJ QU
Name: Party Non Stop
Genre: tech-house, house
Label: Desolat
Catalog: DESOLAT019
No. of tracks: 3
Type: unmixed
01. Party Non Stop (Vocal)
02. Party Non Stop (DJ QU Remix)
03. Party Non Stop (Instrumental)
Pirupa, known for his releases for CR2, Cecille, Monique Musique, VIVa, Toolroom, and many more, makes his debut on one of the most charted labels around, Desolat. And what a musical feast we get.
Party Non Stop, in its original vocal version, is a mad tech-house, filled with various percussions, a strong beat, and hip-hop vocals that blend in perfectly, giving the track a feeling of old school tech-house. Needless to say that they are missing from the instrumental version, but still we can immerse ourselves in this perfectly crafted song. DJ QU delivers the only remix, as a deeper and darker version of the original, with distorted sounds, and an irresistible bass-line. As the original goes, it is a true gem, and for me it rises to the status of one of the best tracks of Desolat. And that`s something. Find it here:

CAPS United were fighting battles from many fronts as they scrambled a 3-3 draw with newcomers TelOne at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Head coach, Lloyd Chitembwe was missing from the bench and was officially off sick, triggering speculation that he was quitting.
Despite his absence from the bench, Chitembwe was being implicated in the fallout that resulted in the resignation of Nick Munyonga, head of the CAPS medical team and a board member (technical).
Chitembwe is said to be at loggerheads with the club's vice president, Nhamo Tutisani and Munyonga.
A source told H-Metro Chitembwe and Munyonga had an argument over veteran Method Mwanjale's fitness.
"Munyonga resigned because they had an argument with the coach during the week about Mwanjale's fitness.
"Munyonga had ruled Mwanjali out ahead of the Sunday encounter because he was not physically fit. However, Chitembwe went on to select the defender in the first 11.
"This did not go down well with Munyonga who later on had an argument with Chitembwe arguing that it was not necessary for him to continue being the team doctor because his opinion was not considered," said the source.
Part of Munyonga's resignation letter to the club reads:
"Dear Mr Tutisani, it is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to you. I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to work with CAPS United Football Club both as a Board Member and the Head of the Medical Team.
"As you have seen of late I have been erratic coming to games and training. This is due to pressure of work. I will be starting on a new job/project soon and I foresee that worsening my situation. If I am not going to be available when needed then I will not add value to the cause. I don't want to be excess baggage to the team.
"For now I am stepping down as the Head of Medical for CAPS United as well as Board Member-Technical. Under the circumstances I don't see myself being able to contribute fully to the board due to work commitments. I know we have what it takes to win the Championship and I wish you well going forward."

Long trains, long journeys, and often more than 20 hours of train journeys make us tired.We have found that the closed train is like a mini world. We want to build an information-based "ecosystem" on the train.The traditional train ordering requires the crew to pull in the dining car to ask the passengers and often fail to return. When the train enters the tunnel, our mobile phone signal is completely blank, as if it were isolated from the world. Sometimes we and the fellows are not in the neighbors, and it is very troublesome to change seats. . .We can make a local area network information system based on the train environment: Put a router in each train of the train, bridge all the routers, establish a local area network, set up the server, and provide the following services: 1. Ordering meals; crew members order food delivery, delivery The location is passenger seat number two, where passengers can exchange seats and chat; Third, replace the current crew attendant; Fourth, the train arrives at the station; Fifth, the train station to push the local customs, took the opportunity to implant advertising; Six, resource sharing, Passengers visit the train server to watch the above movies, listen to music, listen to radio stations, etc.;

GRAVE: Drum-Cam Footage From San Francisco
Drum-cam footage of GRAVE's Ronnie Bergerstål performing the song "Morbid Way To Die" with his bandmates on October 12 at Slim's in San Francisco, California can be seen below.
GRAVE's 10th studio album, "Endless Procession Of Souls", was released on August 27 in Europe via Century Media Records. The cover artwork for the CD was once again created by Costin Chioreanu, who also worked with GRAVE on the previous two studio albums. In addition to designing the cover artwork, Costin was responsible for some of the extra art for the inside of the CD booklet and the vinyl.
"Endless Procession Of Souls" was recorded at GRAVE's own Studio Soulless and was previously described by GRAVE guitarist/vocalist Ola Lindgren as "a mix of our latest two releases with some more old-school, groovy 'Soulless' parts."
According to a press release, "Endless Procession Of Souls" "promises to be yet another death metal masterpiece in GRAVE's revered catalog, featuring nine tracks of uncompromising no-bullshit death metal, flawlessly executed by the sole survivors of the real legendary Swedish Dödsmetal scene. 'Endless Procession Of Souls' combines the brutality of GRAVE's last two studio albums with the groove of 'Soulless' and — of corpse — a lethal dose of 'Into The Grave' darkness."
GRAVE recently parted ways with its guitarist of three years, Magnus Martinsson.
GRAVE's current lineup is as follows:
Ola Lindgren – Guitar/Vocals
Mika Lagrén – Guitar
Ronnie Bergerstål – Drums
Tobias Cristiansson – Bass

Despite a match-high 22 digs from sophomore Alyssa Puccilli (Milford, Conn.), the Albertus Magnus women's volleyball team fell to Lasell College 3-1 (21-25, 25-14, 25-22, 25-12) on Friday night at Simmons College in Boston.
Puccilli added one kill to her effort, while senior outside hitter and GNAC Offensive Player of the Week Melissa Manning registered her 10th double-double of the season with a team-high 11 kills along with 13 digs. She added three service aces.
Freshman Caitlin Prete (Milford, Conn.) added an impressive 17 digs for Albertus to go along with two service aces and nine kills. The freshman's nine kills puts her over the 100-kill mark for the season as she now has 108 kills after the Falcons' first match of the night.
Senior Lily Dy dished out 26 assists for the Falcons, who fell to 9-8 overall with the loss and 1-4 in GNAC play.
The Falcons came out strong in the opening set of the night, winning 25-21. The Falcons' broke open a seven-all tie to take a 10-7 lead thanks to a kill and back-to-back service aces by Melissa Manning. After a Lasell service error made the score 14-12, the Falcons' rattled off five-straight points before the Lasers called a timeout. The Falcons' charge was led by stellar serving from Caitlin Prete, who recorded both of her service aces of the match during that Albertus run.
Albertus was able to secure the 25-21 victory despite only having nine total kills in the set against Lasell's 10.
After dropping the second set 25-14, Albertus battled in set number three before falling in the frame 25-22. The Falcons held a 17-8 lead in the set after a Caitlin Prete kill before Lasell went on an 8-2 run to tie the score at 19. Another Caitlin Prete kill knotted the score at 22 but a Falcon service error and hitting error accounted for two of the final three Laser points, giving Lasell a 25-22 come-from-behind victory.
The Falcons' struggled in the final set, falling behind 13-4 before Lasell jumped out to a 21-10 lead. Three-straight kills secured the victory for the Lasers as they clinched the match with a 25-12 fourth-set win.
Amber Cohens (Hamden, Conn.) tallied six kills on the night in 21 tries for the Falcons, while adding a block, while freshman Amy Seliga (East Haven, Conn.) added two kills, an assist, a service ace, and one dig.
Puccilli's 22 digs puts her over the 200-dig mark this season as she finished the contest with 221 so far in 2013.

For Localities
For Solid Waste Management Facilities
For Homeowners
Hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, and other storm events can result in large amounts of debris and other solid wastes that need to be managed properly. Preparations before storm events by localities, solid waste management facilities, homeowners and businesses will improve recovery efforts and expedite restoration of normal services. DEQ has developed the following information to assist the public with solid waste issues associated with storm events.
Local governments are responsible for developing and maintaining Local Emergency Operations Plans, which should include a section on Debris Management. Following storm events, the public will want to start cleaning up debris as soon as possible. Making decisions ahead-of-time about how your locality or planning unit intends to collect and manage various types of waste will reduce delays in response and recovery efforts, minimize misinformation to the public, and maximize potential for reimbursement from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance programs. Guidance for developing Debris Management Plans is located in FEMA's Debris Management Plan Workshop Student Handbook.
If your locality does not have a debris management plan when disaster strikes, use DEQ's Debris Management Planning Job Aid to help you answer key questions in order to initiate debris removal activities. This job aid is not intended to replace the more thorough planning process required to develop a formal debris management plan, but is instead for your use during real-time disaster response and recovery situations. Local governments with approved Debris Management Plans in place prior to incidents requiring debris removal could receive higher reimbursement rates through FEMA Public Assistance programs.
If your locality intends to manage storm-related solid wastes (such as household waste, white goods, construction/demolition debris, etc.) at a temporary debris management site, then you will need to obtain an emergency permit from DEQ. An emergency permit is not necessary for sites that will only manage vegetative waste (such as trees, branches, shrubs, leaves, stumps, roots, and other clean wood waste). DEQ can pre-certify an emergency debris management site prior to a storm event, which will expedite the emergency permitting process and facilitate earlier mobilization. More information on the permitting process and the Emergency Debris Waste Pile Permit Application is located on our Solid Waste Emergency Permit page. To request an emergency permit, or if you have additional questions, contact your regional DEQ solid waste permit writer.
The DEQ strongly urges landfills and other facilities to PUMP DOWN ALL LEACHATE STORAGE TANKS AND LAGOONS in anticipation of storm events to provide sufficient surge capacity (i.e. freeboard) to handle increased leachate volumes generated by excess precipitation. Landfills should COVER ALL EXPOSED WASTE WITH COMPACTED SOIL COVER (instead of tarps or other types of alternate daily cover) to avoid wind-blown debris from the working face.
Immediately report to your local emergency services and utility companies any potential safety hazards such as leaking gas lines, downed power lines, and overturned or leaking heating oil tanks.
Find out how your locality will be collecting different types of waste and debris. This type of information is usually found on local government websites, social media, and other news outlets. Typical services include curbside collection or public drop-off locations at convenience centers, landfills, transfer stations, or a temporary debris management site. If you use private waste collection services, please check with them for specific guidelines.
Avoid placing waste piles in areas that will block roadways, signs, fire hydrants, or meters.
If you are unsure about collection of a particular waste, please call the solid waste management facility or drop-off site before you arrive, or call your locality (or private waste collection service) before you place the waste at the curb.

Great quote and sooooo true.
I forget it often and I have the tendency to take some things very personal 😉

Don't worry, I won't take it personally if you forget 😉 And yes, I agree, it is a daily practice! Forgetting and then all of a sudden catching ourselves all caught up in taking things so personally. And then reminding ourselves again that it's not personal, not a measure of how worthy and valuable we are.

I work with smart, dynamic and driven people that are ticking all the boxes of success, yet feeling as if they are living their life with the brakes on. I work with caring and generous people that are trying to be everything to everyone and forgetting themselves in the process. I work with savvy, fun and creative high achievers that want to reconnect with what they really want in life, instead of living out everyone else's expectations and worrying they're not good enough. Together, we dive in. Together, we dive deep. I offer a different perspective. I offer tools and concepts and a space to explore. You explore. You take action. You emerge. Bubbly. Sparkly. Infectiously inspiring. The way you've always been. You just didn't realise it yet.

The New York Giants are one of two NFL franchises in New York. They are one of the oldest teams in the NFL and are one of only six teams in NFL history with four or more Super Bowl titles. The team enjoyed tremendous success in the early 2000s through 2011 thanks to future Hall of Fame quarterback Eli Manning who led them to two Super Bowl victories. However, the Giants have been struggling in recent years due in part to an aging Manning.
Learn more about the New York Giants, including whether experts are giving the New York Giants odds of making the Super Bowl in the next couple of years, and how New York Giants betting is coming soon to NY online sportsbooks.
One of the Oldest Teams in the NFL
The New York Giants joined the National Football League in 1925, just four years after the formation of the league. Amazingly, the team was able to win the NFL Championship in just their third year of existence in 1927. They also won titles in 1934, 1938, and 1956.
After the league merger in 1970, the team went over a decade without a winning season or a playoff appearance. The team enjoyed a resurgence in the 1980s under head coach Bill Parcells and went on to win Super Bowl XXI against the Denver Broncos for their first Super Bowl title. Parcell led the team to their second title in 1990 by beating the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV.
The team did not win the Super Bowl again until 2007 when they beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII with Eli Manning taking Super Bowl MVP. Manning led the team to the title again in 2011 when the Giants once again beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
Since winning Super Bowl XLVI, the Giants have only had one winning season and have missed the playoffs six of the last seven years. Many feel that an aging Eli Manning is part of the reason for the decline and many speculate that his time in New York is limited.
Outlook for the Giants in 2019 and Beyond
The Giants are clearly in rebuilding mode, and many wonder how long that the team will go with Eli Manning at QB. Many draft experts feel that the team is likely to draft a QB. If so, Manning's days may be numbered. They have also been cleaning house in the offseason, getting rid of troublesome wide receiver Odell Beckham and other players.
Frankly, there aren't enough pieces to this team presently to warrant a winning season, much less a playoff run. While some experts are putting them at 7-9 for 2019, that seems to be a favorable outlook. We see the team more like 5-11 or 6-10 unless Manning can turn back the clock and pull something out this team we haven't seen in a few years.
Betting on the New York Giants
Regardless of their record this year, New York Giants betting is expected to be big business once online sports gambling is legalized in New York. We predict that online sports betting will be legal sometime in 2020 and multiple online casinos, race tracks, and OTB facilities will by laying New York Giants odds on games.
You will be able to place bets on points spreads, moneylines, futures, prop bets, and even parlay at New York online sportsbooks. If you're not a Giants fan, you can still place bets on your favorite teams as New York sportsbooks will take action on every game and every team in the NFL.

The world is full of unusual sights if you're a sports fan. Sure, you've had a chance to catch games at the best stadiums in the United States, play petanque on the streets of Paris and join in on a friendly game of cricket in a London suburb. But if you're looking for a more unique experience, you've come to the right place. We scoured the world for some interesting sites to check out while you're abroad, no matter where you are.
Decided to spend a few days admiring the sites in Edinburg? Take a few hours to visit Alien Rock, a unique indoor climbing center located in a house of worship. Construction on the building began in 1843 and was completed 40 long years later. It has had many names, such as Newhaven Free and Newhaven St. Andrew's, but then was vacated in 1970. The building stood for 20 years before being sold and remodeled into Alien Rock. The climbing center opened in 1994 as one of Scotland's first indoor climbing gyms. Many of the building walls were removed to accommodate the climbing walls which reach to impressive heights. The climbing gym now includes 200 routes that are regularly rotated to keep visitors entertained. It is accessible for all levels and provides a free membership.
If you're in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, be sure to swing by the Bobblehead museum. This is the only museum in the world entirely dedicated to bobbleheads. The space offers great history of the head-nodding doll, thousands of dolls on display (though quite a few are currently at the Milwaukee museum), and a make your own bobblehead station. While most of the collection is composed of sports figures, you can also see dolls featuring cartoon characters, pop culture icons, and even a six-foot-tall life-sized bobblehead. The museum is very new, having just opened in 2019. The idea came to the brilliants of Brad Novak and Phil Sklar, who started collecting bobbleheads in 2002. But when the plan to open the museum became public, other collectors came together to donate their dolls for display.
Taking a trip to Mexico City? Brave the roads of Hidalgo and wander into the home of Mexican soccer (or fútbol, as the locals call it), Mundo Fútbol. It is little known that it is the miners of Cornwall, England, who brought soccer to Mexico. They played their first game in the mining town of Mineral del Monte in 1826. This historical moment let to the creation of the first soccer club in Mexico in the Hidalgo state capital of Pachuca. Colloquially known as "Los Tuzos" (The Gophers), the Pachuca Football Club was founded in 1901 by the local pachuqueños, many of whom were directly related to the original Cornish miners. Because it was the first established club in the country, the Liga MX considers Pachuca to be the birthplace of Mexican soccer. Today this place in history is commemorated by a 120-foot-tall building shaped like a soccer ball. The museum, opened in July 2011, features an interactive museum as well as a hall of fame for the world's most popular sport. Many Mexican players are honored in this hall, such as Hugo Sánchez and Chicharito. The interactive center is essentially a collection of digital activities that allow people of all ages to test their knowledge and skill of soccer.

SDX Energy Provides Operations Update in EgyptSource: www.gulfoilandgas.com 1/14/2019, Location: Egypt
SDX Energy Inc. (SDX), the North Africa focused oil and gas company, is pleased to provide an update on operational developments in Egypt. A full operations update will be announced in late January 2019.
The SRM-3 well at South Ramadan (SDX 12.75% working interest and non-operator), reached a target depth of 15,635 feet and the operator has reported encountering 75 feet of net conventional oil pay in the Matulla section (primary target), 20 feet of net conventional oil pay in the Brown Limestone formation and a further 15 feet of net conventional oil pay in the Sudr section. The well will be completed in the Matulla section and then tested to establish whether the well will flow at a commercial rate.
At South Disouq (SDX 55% working interest and operator), the development lease application submitted by SDX and its partner has been approved by the relevant authorities and construction of the pipeline and central facility have commenced. First production from the licence remains on track to commence towards the end of H1 2019, with SDX expecting to achieve a gross plateau production rate of conventional natural gas of between 50-60 MMscf/d. The 170km2 3D seismic acquisition programme at South Disouq is 50% complete and is expected to conclude in early.
February. The seismic data will then be processed and interpreted by the end of Q3 2019, with drilling on the licence set to resume shortly thereafter.
Paul Welch, President & CEO of SDX Energy, commented:
"The Company has made a positive start to 2019, with operational progress continuing to be made across the Egyptian portfolio. The reservoir sections encountered in the SRM-3 well are encouraging and we look forward to seeing how this interval performs when tested, as this will provide additional insight on the volume potential of the section. SDX has made considerable headway at South Disouq, and following formal approval from the authorities, the relevant construction work is well underway. We continue to be excited about bringing the asset into production in H1 2019. "

College staff 'need gender diversity training'
A lack of gender diversity training is "embarrassing" further education lecturers and could lead to legal issues, an education union has said.
President of ATL Wales Lesley Tipping said staff were confused over pronouns and compulsory training was overdue.
Stonewall Cymru said half of trans students were bullied and most staff were not trained to deal with it.
Bangor University student Jasper Williams, 22, said when he came out as trans in sixth form staff "struggled".
Mr Williams is a neuropsychology student and LGBT+ officer for NUS Wales.
He said: "One [sixth form] teacher couldn't get anything that wasn't male or female.
"He made comments making it sound like non-binary genders were made up and like a fantasy idea.
"The other teachers were fine but they struggled with it."
He said despite having a "liberal and encouraging" head teacher, a lack of training meant staff who wanted to be supportive were hampered: "They tried but they messed up a lot.
"If they were using someone as an example they'd say he and then change to she and get confused with what they should be using.
"There was a massive lack of education on that part."
Andrew White, director of Stonewall Cymru, agreed most lecturers wanted to be supportive but did not know how.
"We know that the majority of staff want to tackle transphobic bullying, however, most haven't received any specific training on how to do this", he said.
Ms Tipping said too often the onus to train staff was on the college: "We haven't got compulsory training and at the moment it is down to the pro-activeness of the college.
"Lecturers could be put in quite an embarrassing position if they address someone as a he who is a she or neither a he or a she."
She said students who identify as trans or non-binary had "entitlements" and FE staff needed to understand them: "We are keen for lecturer training to understand legalities and ensure they're not embarrassed in any way. If we don't ensure they're trained we could end up with legal issues."
Stonewall Cymru said more than two in five trans young people have attempted to kill themselves.
Mr Williams understands first-hand how hard further education can be: "I was not in a great place. I'd had issues with an eating disorder in the past and it definitely brought that back up again."
He said facilities were also an issue for trans and non-binary students and he struggled when at sixth form: "Toilets were very gendered apart from the disabled on the ground floor which I didn't feel comfortable using.
"Luckily I was two minutes from my house so I used to wait for breaks and go home."
Mr White, whose organisation works with colleges to provide training, advice and resources, said education was vital.
"We owe it to LGBT young people to ensure they don't face discrimination or bullying but are supported to flourish and achieve," he said.
CollegesWales has been asked to comment.
What further education colleges say
BBC Wales contacted all 14 further education colleges and institutions in Wales to ask what gender diversity training they offer to staff . Three responded and all said they had seen an increase in the number of students identifying as trans, non binary or gender fluid.
- Cardiff and Vale College said all staff have received training which included "protected characteristics" and staff in departments with an increased number of trans and non-binary learners have been given "more detailed, bespoke training". It added it was working with Trans Form Cymru to create a more detailed action plan and more training.
- Coleg Cambria said all front line staff had received training delivered by the transgender community and guidance materials were in place. There are a number of LGBTQ student groups and each college site has gender neutral toilets and plans for gender neutral-toilets are included in all new builds at the college.
- Pembrokeshire College said four of its 1,500 students identified as transgender and it had an "active" LGBT group, but could not gave details on staff training.

I am feeling increasingly fatigued by social media. Like reality television whose casting and plot lines have become formulaic to the point we could all produce a convincing script, with requisite plot twists and love matches for "made in Chelsea" or "Geordie shore," post midnight, with a substantial quantity of drugs and alcohol to dull our wits and senses. It seems many young stars of the internet have worked out a similar formula for Instagram. fame by numbers capturing audiences and beating the algorithm. Money and plaudits roll in whilst our fresh faced protagonist reclines with a #spon cocktail on a #ad chaise lounge, in an apartment paid for by corporate sponsorship and/or eager subscribers. The business of influence is both complex and hugely profitable if you know what you are doing and if you are prepared to get your hands on the way up, all the better.
From my perch on the periphery, I am encouraged to follow the lives of these influencers. In the vast universe of social media, we are all voyeurs observing the surprisingly mundane daily ablutions and minutiae of glamorous rare birds in their gilded cages. Except the bars are an iPhone screen and the bird not a bird at all, but an uncommonly beautiful teenager dancing, around her bedroom, brushing her hair, getting dressed or "working" from her unmade bed. It is from here she offers sage advice on relationships or body image or straight to camera postulating soliloquies on nothing in particular.There is something innately addictive but profoundly disturbing about this newfound window onto the life of a complete stranger. To follow someone is to imbue them with power. The power to influence your thoughts and your purchases, the way you dress, the things you eat. We as humans have always sought influence, reassurance we are moving in the right direction, or at least the same one as everyone else. Celebrity endorsements have long been viewed with suspicion. As a consumer I would be unlikely to purchase an acne treatment on the basis of one clear skinned starlet's recommendation, mostly because I know she's being paid handsomely for it. The internet has blurred the lines. DIY shorts filmed on webcams or phones proselytising for skincare or shoe brands appear in earnest, when in fact they are part of a darkly conceived marketing strategy.
I have little interest in Methodic make up routines or "the perfect" contour tutorials. I will generally bypass the Primark hauls, fashion hacks and daily vlogs which feature baking, dog walking and a confusing amount of sitting on the sofa talking about nothing in particular. It is a mixture of activism, fashion and sex positive rhetoric that pervades my corner of the internet. Writers and artists, makers and thinkers populate my slow growing herd of followed and followers. The social and political issues I deem vital to my life and generation feature heavily in my personal work and are inevitably echoed through my social feeds. Taking a step back into the realms of reality I can't help but cast cynical eyes over the ever evolving digital landscape. I have met many self proclaimed activists in recent years, I have worked for several, some with a large following on social media others without and others still, with a modest but loyal readership. I speak from experience when I say the face people present online is rarely their real one.
The phrase "In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes." Was attributed to Andy Warhol circa 1968. A man who mastered the art of personal branding 50 years before influencer culture was even conceived. The internet has given this prophecy legs, allowing otherwise unremarkable individuals to capitalise on an artfully contrived identity and in some cases forge a successful career on its back. In the pursuit of fame we are all seemingly willing to break ourselves apart and reassemble the pieces into something more palatable, more appealing to our audience. Feminism is trending, so we adopt a catchphrase and a stance. I am as guilty the next woman of jumping on the likes for likes bandwagon. I am a feminist. A huge believer in advocating for female run movements in art and business. I am slightly ashamed to admit the number of clicks on the little heart beside each photo does have an effect on my mood and on a bad day It often has me questioning my validity as a creator and even my purpose in being there. I have been known to shamelessly capitalise on hollow sentiment in the vain hope of gaining a bit of traction and increasing my reach. Hashtags become campaign slogans but without real structure or cause it often feels a little disingenuous, like diet activism.
#womensupportingwomen and #communityovercompetition are overused with comic regularity by people and businesses whose behaviour poses stark opposition to the true meaning. Passive aggression and veiled threats lay behind expertly styled floral arrangements and colourful flat-lays as the owners of popular accounts jealously stake claim over borrowed ideas. Plagiarised prints and painted leathers announce female solidarity whilst withholding metaphorical bread from the mouths of the female artists who created them. Fame and fortune are an intoxicating combination. With the rise of the internet star has come the inevitable slew of online courses and workshops offering you the chance to build your own career from your bedroom. Those who were successful in building a following become self styled experts, and as a result we have 19 year old business coaches and 21 year old relationship experts charging a not insignificant rate for unquantifiable expertise.
Herein lays my biggest problem with social networking. An egalitarian platform requiring no verification or formal qualification allows the dissemination of misinformation to go completely unchecked. Scientific and educational communities are slowly catching on but have yet to come up with anything resembling a solution, and from a marketers point of view verifiable content would be a costly nightmare. Surely in this most cynical age of data protection and regulation we know not to believe everything we read? Wikipedia, after all is written by a faceless public and dr. google is far from infallible.
Publishing houses are commissioning books by online personalities at a rate that shows no sign of slowing down, from self care to healthy eating, follower count and engagement are the only qualifications required to publish such a manual. Today I skipped through an authoritative, subtitled monologue by a childless single women in her early 20s about the correct way to raise babies. Followed by endless screenshot's of twitter feeds highlighting the negative experiences incurred simply by existing as a fat person or a person of colour, punctuated by grinning selfies of the skinny blonde account owner. At events I am reminded, by condescending, guileless public schoolgirls, 15 years my junior that my feminism is not inclusive because I write only from my own privileged perspective. Their own Instagram lists intersectional and ally in its bio alongside the requisite pronouns and a jaunty rainbow flag. I am conscious as a white woman in size 10 jeans and a southern accent that it is not my place to comment on the black experience or the fat experience because honestly I have no idea what it feels like to face that level of adversity. I am interested to read firsthand accounts, but indolent rehashing and sharing of them feels patently insincere. Mendacious propaganda for a brand built on revolutionary spirit perhaps?
A brand requires values, and successful Internet personalities lay them out in their bios. Queerness, disability and a myriad of gender related pronouns litter our digital spaces. Keen to label, eager to belong. The reality of life for a trans person or a gay person is rarely straightforward. The internet has become a safe space to document their struggle. The proliferation of rainbow themed emojis and effusive proclamations of orientation and identity feel somewhat lacking in sincerity. A well known female instagrammer recently announced, you don't actually have to have sex with girls to be queer. On that point I must raise a concern. As a woman who wishes to take up residence amongst the homosexuals, the historical degenerates and social outcasts once maligned simply for who they fell in love with you must in fact have sex with girls. If not isn't it making a mockery of those who fought and died to put that iconic flag emoji next to your grinning portrait. In 2019 there is certainly less social stigma attached to sexuality than there was in 1919. Subversive is hot and Queer is the new black, in marketing terms the queer femme constitutes a solid USP and without the risk of touching a vagina or being spat at on the street it's a winning label for an aspiring internet celebrity.
With more aspiring youtubers than either doctors or bin men, the desperation is driving more and more people towards a dark path. Lazy inarticulate bloggers appropriating tales of chronic illness and sexual abuse abound. Suffering garners attention and attention is addictive, especially when it comes replete with the promise of financial reward. Symptoms are lifted from the feeds of the afflicted or straight from NHS direct. Under the scrutiny of actual medical practitioners the often tragicomic tales of suffering simply don't add up. A litany of other ailments is usually followed by a "go fund me" campaign to help with hospital bills or specialist equipment, conveniently not covered by the NHS. If attention starts to wane, the addition of a #metoo and a convoluted story about a bus driver with wandering hands or gang rape by a herd of orcs at a cosplay convention in 2012 garners a little more sympathy and occasionally another charity campaign, this time to fund essential self care bath bombs from lush.
If this is beginning to feel like a diatribe or a targeted attack, I apologise. I have spoken to many people in recent months about my burgeoning dissatisfaction and it shows no sign of abating. Not until we, as content creators and consumers force the hand of the businesses that back it and change the damaging culture which has grown up around it. I often consider taking my bow and walking away for good. I have deleted apps and made dormant my various accounts in the past. The thing that always stops me from vacating social media entirely and permanently is the possibility of human connection. That elusive meeting of minds across an artfully styled avocado, an avocado with a witty caption and a sustainable origin, naturally. The possibility of exchanging thoughts and feelings on pertinent social and political issues with those of a similar disposition to my own is what drew me here in the first place. I remember hearing about the mythical World Wide Web for the first time on newsround, and feeling a sense of excitement and possibility as I tucked into my mums legendary frozen pizza and chips, it will never catch on she muttered. I am reminded of that excitement each time Instagram leads me to a new discovery or twitter makes me laugh. The forced banter, sound bites and hashtags feel hollow and disingenuous to me, like the pink on pink quotes about wellness and self care that litter the digital landscape. I have met many incredible women doing incredible things. It has lead me to real life networking, Soul mates and drinking buddies, people who both share my views and challenge them. I don't make my living on social media, but the clients I meet through the rolling text and artfully curated squares are often the ones who bring me the meaningful projects and all the joy that comes alongside doing something you love. I will never stop talking about the negatives of life online, because without recognising them you can't fully embrace the positives. The topography of the digital sphere is constantly evolving in much the same way millennials are ageing and surrendering our platforms to those future generations, who almost certainly don't know newsround, and don't remember a time before the internet. Perhaps like Warhol's factory or MySpace, Instagram will eventually fade into obscurity taking with it all that is tiresome and false. In its wake a sea of pot plants and glitter, ring lights and millennial pink backdrops. I for one look forward to the day when I no longer have a disturbing narrative to dissect.

Acute care RNs provide care to people who are suffering from life threatening injuries
or diseases. Some examples of injuries or diseases an acute care RN might encounter
include penetrating trauma, respiratory failure or stroke. They often care for patients
who have cardiac or respiratory injuries that require the use of specialized equipment
to maintain life. These RNs are skilled at working with patients on ventilators, with
patients who have multiple medications being administered through an intravenous line
and with patients who require intense, one-on-monitoring. Often acute care RNs can be
found in intensive care units, emergency departments, and post-anesthesia units. Some
may choose to be flight nurses, helping to transport critical patients in small airplanes
or helicopters. Acute care nurses commonly work twelve hour shifts and are often required
to work nights, weekends and holidays.
To start a career as an RN, students need to earn either an associate's degree or
a bachelors degree in nursing. Nursing degree programs can be found in every state
as well as around the world. Associate degree programs can be found at the community
college level and require two years of study. Bachelor degree programs are found at
the university level and require four years of study. Prior to admission to either
degree program, students must have a high school degree, have completed prerequisite
classes including basic math, biology, psychology and human anatomy. Traditional nursing
programs are classroom based, but more programs are being offered online. No nursing
program is exclusively online, however, due to the hands-on clinical rotations that
are required. The number of clinical hours required may vary by program, but is generally
eight to sixteen hours per week. Graduates must pass the national nursing examination,
the NCLEX-RN, prior to being licensed in their particular state.
There is no specific training program to become an acute care RN, but while in school,
nurses often have a rotation in the intensive care unit or other critical care units
which can give valuable insight into acute care nurse duties. Due to the acuity of
critical care patients, new graduates often do not start their careers in a critical
care unit. Many hospitals require that acute care RNs have at one year of experience
prior to working in a critical care unit. Experienced nurses who want to specialize as
an acute care RN are often given on the job training by the hospital they choose to work
for. Training periods vary by facility, but often include a preceptor program with some
classroom instruction. Acute care RNs are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support,
which is in addition to the Basic Life Support certification required of all RNs. Acute
care RNs can choose to become certified in critical care nursing through the American
Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). To be eligible for certification, nurses must
have an unencumbered nursing license, 1,750 hours of bedside nursing care with critically
ill patients within the two previous years and a professional associate willing to verify
eligibility. RNs who pass the exam are given the CCRN designation, standing for Critical
Care Registered Nurse.
Acute care nurse pay is slightly higher compared to the pay of other RNs. Payscale.com
reports in 2012, a nurse working in the intensive care unit was paid a salary ranging
from $44,798 to $88,450. Pay varies according to years of experience, location of
employment and region of employment. Acute care RNs with a CCRN designation may be
paid more than a nurse without a certification.
Acute care RNs can choose become an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP). There
are close to 100 ACNP programs across the country. Programs have been classroom based
in the past, but more programs are offering an online option for some or all of the
required classes. There are, however, clinical rotations for which students must be
physically present. Graduates of an ACNP program can apply for certification via the
American Nurses Credentialing Center or through the AACN.
Acute care nursing can be an excellent career choice for nurses who enjoy a fast-paced
and exciting work environment. New graduates interested in this field need a solid
foundation in nursing which can be attained with several years of post-graduate work
experience. Experienced acute care nurses can gain recognition and possibly higher pay
by becoming certified. An acute care RN can expand his or her horizons and become an
ACNP. Whatever level a nurse chooses to practice at, working with critically ill patients
can provide for a challenging and rewarding career path.

As the much-anticipated exhibition Hope to Nope opens in London, we spoke to curators Lucienne Roberts of GraphicDesign& and the Design Museum's Margaret Cubbage about the graphic design exhibition that everyone's talking about.
Anyone following graphic design over the last decade will know Karlssonwilker's power-charged output. But what of the personalities behind the studio? We meet Mr Karlsson and Mr Wilker...
There's a sign at the top of the stairs of a New York design studio that bears the legend "One in four immigrants will be deported, Karlssonwilker is not hiring". Welcome to the idiosyncratic world of Hjalti Karlsson and Jan Wilker, two immigrants to New York from Iceland and Germany respectively, that were not deported and were therefore able to write such a sign. Karlssonwilker also tend to hire graphic design migrants from Europe, as is their wont.
Karlssonwilker's approach is peppered with such moments; punkish, absurd, self-deprecating, comic and irreverent. When asked to create a studio portrait for an Icelandic magazine The Reykjavik Grapevine, they crafted a headshot of Karlsson with Wilker encased in an earring on Karlsson's lobe, before settling on a picture of themselves sprawled on the pavement in drunken paparazzi-ed poses. Their cover for Creative Review in 2008 declared "Karlssonwilker is on the cover and you are not." Lesser mortals might come across like triflers and goons, peddling self conscious 'antics' for career-decapitating shits and giggles. There are plenty of giggles but these are no shits.
I had been to the Karlssonwilker studio, between Chelsea and the West Village before, to meet Nicole Jacek, a previous intern-turned-creative director for the studio, but this was my first visit to interview the namesakes above the door. The building appears to be saturated with designers — Paul Sahre on the floor above, Frank de Rose of ZutAlors.Inc (also a past intern of Karlssonwilker) on another floor, all ensconced above the Dunkin Donuts and the traffic on Sixth Avenue.
New York seems to evolve around moods and feelings, excitement, surprises, stunts, taunts, risks and quick changes...
Karlsson and Wilker's passage to the New World is fairly well documented — according to them, a mix of failure and pilgrimage; Karlsson failing to get into college in his home country and ending up at Parsons in New York, and Wilker on a pilgrimage to intern for Stefan Sagmeister, where he met Karlsson who was already installed as a designer.
It's not that much of a stretch to think of Hjalti Karlsson and Jan Wilker as past employees of Stefan Sagmeister; they share the same obsessional strength of character, with bold statements and they live life as one great performance, both with effortless charm and a twinkle in the eye. They've also taken the 'eye test', two-tone, graphic style and run with it, although their website reaches retina scorching levels, with jagged colour and twisting gifs. Their output has diverged considerably from their alma-pater Sagmeister and today, although they speak of their time as interns fondly, they've definitely struck out and continued a lineage in brassy design and cultural entertainment 'shtick' of their own.
What of design as entertainment? "New York seems to evolve around moods and feelings, excitement, surprises, stunts, taunts, risks and quick changes; and a good word for that I think would be entertainment," says Wilker, "but I think there are these two sides to
us; we have a European rigorous conceptual approach alongside a more
transient and relaxed American spirit".
Their fourteen years together as a studio have been punctuated by several tours on 'real-time design' projects, firstly in 2005 with Twelve Days in Serbia, a trip to Belgrade to make a calendar with Publikum Publishers, followed by Ten Days in South Africa in 2007 for Interactive Africa, and Twelve Days in Jerusalem for the Israel Museum's department of architecture and design. These design adventures, where Karlsson and Wilker lived out their design process on film and through workshops and performance, provides real insight into the pair's unfiltered, unfettered and unconventional design practice. Watching their arrival in Belgrade on video is akin to watching a presidential arrival — groups of school children sing traditional songs and recite Icelandic and German poetry whilst Karlsson and Wilker look on with benevolent aplomb, revelling in the cute absurdity of it all.
A testament to their skills as entertainers, the studio were recruited by BMW, makers of the MINI Coupé, in 2011 to document themselves on European road trip on the Another Day, Another Adventure campaign for the car brand. The brief for the twelve-day cultural road trip of 1,900 miles from Munich to Istanbul was to 'gauge the cultural pulse' and film-maker Alfred Nrecaj was sent along to document the resulting mayhem.
"The brief was to drive through Europe, meet cool people and create a short clip every day," explains Nrecaj. "One memorable moment was when we got invited to perform onstage at the birthday party of a local fashion designer in Budapest. We had planned that Hjalti was going to do some live graphic design on his Mac, which was connected to a projector. Jan was playing a synthesiser on his ipad and I was supposed to sing." An accident waiting to happen, and it did: after several false starts due to technical problems and Wilker's disturbingly focused insistence on repeating the exact same spoken intro each time, the group finally started up with Wilker consistently hitting the wrong key and Nrecaj failing to woo the crowd with his singing.
Barring this comic and brilliantly shambolic performance, Karlssonwilker can not be pigeonholed as a sideshow. Their portfolio reveals the 'conceptual rigor and tight system' with clients from Time Magazine to Nintendo, The Rockefeller Foundation to Al Gore.
One notable entry into the studio annals was the graphics style guide for much lauded re-design of Bloomberg BusinessWeek in 2011. Under the new creative directorship of Richard Turley and design directorship of Cynthia Hoffman, the studio was tasked with creating the rules of design combat: sitting in with the new in-house graphics team to co-produce the weekly infographics and put together the graphics style guide.
"We used to do a lot of faux infographics when we started the studio, to express the overwhelming nature of trying to run a design studio, and life in general, I guess," explains Karlsson. "So we quite naturally ended up subverting a style that stands for a systematic approach and filled it with irreverence, the thoughts of two young designers not really knowing what they're doing, where they're going, but enjoying the way. That we went from pseudo-infographics to full-on infographics is funny to me now; [our work] didn't focus on graphs and charts, and the Business Week project is one of very few infographics projects we've done."
Another client that has witnessed the impact on creativity levels of the Karlssonwilker effect is Wolf-Gordon, an interior design and textiles company based in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Marybeth Shaw, Chief Creative Officer of Wolf-Gordon, who had previously employed Stefan Sagmeister on an advertising campaign in 2002, needed a 3-D representation of the company's new product line for the slightly alarming sounding NeoCon exhibition (National Exposition of Contract Furnishings), the largest commercial design show in the US, in 2011.
"Being familiar with Karlssonwilker's graphic vocabulary, I knew they would be perfect for the assignment," says Shaw. "The project needed an energetic, explosive, expansive quality, and signifiers of change for the brand". The result was a sculptural form suspended over the venue and an advertising campaign of jagged crystalised forms.
If we were safe… could we honestly ask our clients to be risky?
The question of the working relationship between the studio and Wolf-Gordon, brings a heart-warming appraisal from Shaw. "Hjalti, Jan and I have what I would consider to be a very close designer-client relationship. I consider them full partners in design at Wolf-Gordon. They're really smart, warm, generous people in a very casual, unpretentious, laid-back packaging".
Speaking of their relationship with clients, Karlsson says, "I remember from our early days, we had an attitude that was focused on design only, meaning the interaction between us and the client was [in our minds] perfect when it was non-existent. This rather arrogant way of doing things slowly morphed into inviting the client to become an important collaborator. So while some early work might have looked 'kick-ass' to us, we know now that for a client who needs more than visual fireworks, it's a good idea to listen. I feel like we have a good balance these days".
Karlssonwilker are a high octane pair — for them, the twin acts of performance and 'at desk' work are intertwined. According to Karlsson, their stunts are like a practice stage: "if we were safe… could we honestly ask our clients to be risky?" he explains.
There are still plenty of visual fireworks. When I ask neighbour Paul Sahre how he would describe Karlssonwilker's work he offers "black and white, lots of din, silhouette of universal man scratching himself, among other things, Photoshop and 3D program filters (in a good way), self-referential, bad English." Indeed, everyone I approach seems to have caught the energy and self-deprecating style of the pair. "The work I know from them is always more than 'just' graphic design," says Nrecaj. "You always want to see it twice and discover more than you saw the first time. I think this is how design or art should be. And no, they are not really graphic designers. For me they could be anything that has an creative output..." he says. "But not dancers".
Sticking to this theme, former colleague Nicole Jacek, adds "they both dance like lesbians. Hjalti is known as the Brad Pitt of Iceland, Jan is the official spokesperson for Wrangler. They have an amazing sense of humour, which is a product of their intelligence and savvy. Together they are able to look at situation or problem and produce a solution that is so confident that they can add humour or surprise".
I ask Jacek, who recently departed Karlssonwilker to set up her own studio in Los Angeles, why she'd gone to work for them (she was one of the immigrants for whom the warning on the studio door meant nothing). After interning at the studio Jacek went on to intern for Stefan Sagmeister for a while before working for Ian Anderson at Designers Republic in the UK, then returning to New York to be a creative director at Karlssonwilker. "I fell in love with them when I was interning with them back in 2005 and I wanted to move back to New York," Jacek says. "Since they'd both immigrated to the US, I felt I could learn a lot of about how they'd created a company and adapted to the American life."
Departing via the studio door, after beer and a very loud blast on the studio drum machine (yes, my ongoing joke about designers as failed musicians gets a timely mention here) it's time to move on. Karlsson, Wilker and I say goodbye to the current stream of interns, and head out into the street for a night playing golf on the rooftops of Manhattan, a suitably bizarre end to an interview and one that proves their aptitude for American life reaches beyond the mundanities of figuring out the Metro system and how much you're supposed to tip.
I'm left thinking about something Karlsson and Wilker said about their motivation — to do things that were "exhilarating and empowering, but also unpredictable and vulnerable", a beautiful counterpoint to the traditional designer's role, and like any great duo, they complement each other perfectly.
Back in the UK, I glean some final words from studio friend, and by this time, now ex-neighbour, Paul Sahre (perhaps the drum machine really was too loud). "I think the two of them get by by not taking themselves and the profession too seriously. This can come off as if they don't give a shit from the outside looking in. But I can tell you one thing about Jan and Hjalti: they care, deeply".

The Aitkin Age reports on five of the panel questions; two related to broadband…
- As you spend time with representatives from around Minnesotaand other states and listen to their ideas and bills, what three things would help Aitkin residents succeed and make Minnesota the place to work?
- Regional Outreach Director Ida Rukavina of Klobuchar's office said broadband, education, skills and workforce training, and infrastructure would help residents succeed.
- Lueck said technical education at the high school level, broadband, and development of natural resources such as timber, mining and tourist industries would drive jobs in the area.
- Smith's staffer Hannah Aldrich said broadband, transportation and housing.
- Louis Crombie, field representative for Stauber, said the Enbridge pipeline would bring high-quality jobs and tax revenue to the area, and spoke of the importance of educating people to get into high-quality and high-paying careers.
- Ruud said workforce housing, specifically for manufacturing and health care jobs.
- Mille Lacs Energy was recently awarded funding for a broadband grant at the federal level for two townships in Aitkin County. What would widespread high-speed internet do for the communities in Aitkin County? Do you feel enough is being done in broadband?
- Rukavina said not enough is being done because there is a gap between rural and metro. According to her, broadband allows children to succeed in school and do their homework, and affects seniors, and Realtors say broadband access is a dealbreaker when selling homes.
- Lueck said the two-year budget has $4 million [it's actually $40M] allocated toward broadband, which is more than in years past.
- Aldrich said Smith's office is pushing for change to the 2017 tax. Providers had an opportunity to apply for federal emergency funding following storms last season, but this may put many cooperatives tax exempt status at risk if awarded.
- Ruud thanked federal partners in helping address the broadband issue in rural areas.

I wrote another book. Exhaust Pipes. The idea came to me late last month that a mini ebook released in time for Valentine's Day would be a great product for new and old readers of my erotic fiction. So with the support of my "market research division", I went to work.
Exhaust Pipes, is a mini collection that containing four erotic stories featuring car sex or anal sex. Originally it was going to be a mini ebook of only two stories but I decided to include two more that were "in the vault" and ready to shine. Exhaust Pipes is available on Kindle, Nook and Kobo. I'm excited to also be reaching new readers on Sony eReader and Apple iBooks with this release. You can buy the book formats for those readers on Smashwords. I'll have those direct links for you shortly.
From now until Steak & Blowjob Day, Exhaust Pipes is available for $2.28, after which it will be available for it's original retail price.
The title, Exhaust Pipes, came to me in an AHA moment in the shower before I decided to add the two additional stories. Tail Pipes would've been too easy; I like big words and the shape of your mouth when you say "exhaust".
I set a goal for myself and reached it. That is always a great feeling. I remained in the cave writing and rewriting until I was satisfied with work I could put my name on. The book cover adventure is another story in and of itself but I settled on something "thumbnail-friendly".
I'm looking forward to your thoughts and reviews of Exhaust Pipes. One comment I already received: "You my dear are a romance writer. A beyond x-rated one. But a romance writer nonetheless."
I do love love. And folks in love have sex, right?

Nathan Congleton / TODAY
This five-ingredient salad tastes like you spent big money on it at a restaurant. It's so easy to assemble you won't even believe it; plus, it dresses itself as you serve it.
Technique tip: A mandolin can be used for quick and thin slices of your fennel.
- 3/4 cup cubed pecorino cheese
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 to 2 bulbs fennel, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, sliced on the bias with any celery leaves roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon, halved
On a large serving plate, place cheese and pistachios in the center. Pour olive oil over and swirl the plate around so the entire bottom is coated with olive oil and the cheese and nuts are evenly distributed.
Mound fennel and celery on top and season with salt before squeezing both lemon halves on top.
