I'm finding it difficult to write now that my kids are home for the holidays. :o I should have guessed that'd be a problem, and yet… I made no plans and thought I'd just be able to write on through. That's typical of my thought processes, unfortunately.
However, today, finally, I've got some time to myself and I aim to make the most of it.
Today I will write more than 2,000 words.
Today I will format a paperback and ready it for uploading.
Today I will finish my online Christmas shopping. ;)
Today I will stop making excuses for not writing as much as I say I want to write.
Today I will stop second guessing my writing process and stop wishing I was a faster writer. My average pace will either speed up over time or it won't. Four years of trying haven't brought any real improvement in that—and in fact, some days I worry that all my focus on trying to speed up has actually slowed me down.
The speed of my writing isn't what's holding me back. Time spent writing is the real problem. But don't worry, I'm not about to say a schedule is the answer. It's not. I've been down that path and found nothing much there for me. I don't believe time quotas are right for me either. (Same post.)
Mostly I'm just going to try to write as much as I can and stop even using the timers for a while. Sure I'll end up struggling sometimes, but that's what quotas are for. They tell you when you're done. If my rolling 30 day average is close to 2,000 words, I can call it quits anytime I want. If it isn't, then I need to write a little harder. :D

Some people love being surrounded by mountains or vast grasslands and others prefer to be right on the water and not landlocked. For the seafarers out there, we have selected our top 5 islands of 2019. These are not all tropical pieces of bliss for you to suntan on as not everybody enjoys baking in the sun but instead, a mix of sun and snow depending on your tastes.
Palawan, The Philippines
First up, for the backpacker and resort goer alike, Palawan as it all. Breathtaking turquoise lagoons and an underground river which you can take boat rides along. Nacpan Beach and Nagtabon Beach provide the perfect backdrop for those Insta-worthy photos. The Puerto Princessa Subterranean River National Park will provide an experience unlike any other. Imagine a series of caves connected by the river and a secondary river which feeds waterfalls that cascade down into it.
This small island nation is currently experiencing the troubles of rising ocean waters due to climate change so it will not be possible to visit it in about 40 years. It is characterized by resorts with villas that stretch out over the crystal-clear water and provide the perfect location to capture mesmerizing sunsets. Snorkeling is also a key activity which you can do right off of your villa as there are over 1,000 coral islands situated all around the 26 islands that make up the country.
Santorini, Greece
Moving away from tropical islands we land on the ancient Cycladic Island of Santorini in Greece. Known for its blue and white cube-shaped houses and hotels overlooking the pebble beaches formed by a volcanic eruption in the 1700s it is a huge tourist destination today. With archaeological sites from the Minoan era to visit, black sand beaches that overlook the Aegean and delicious local cuisine this is an easy island to get away to.
Svalbard Islands, Norway
If you are in the mood for a cold island which is largely uninhabited but features stunning Nordic vistas, tundra-dwelling wildlife, and the aurora borealis then this should be on your island bucket list. These islands are right up by the North Pole, with about two-thirds of their land mass designated as national parks to preserve their arctic splendor. For the nature photographers out there this will be like visiting mother nature's version of an amusement park.

re: If you could change one thing about learning to code, what would it be? VIEW POST
I mean I learned to code in this setting:
- C++ Newbie (did some Pascal and Delphi before, but never profesionally before)
- Massive Mutithreading
- Peer-2-Peer (not Filesharing but metadata transport) with static application layer routing.
- Cross-Platform
- Reverse engineering a RS-485 BUS protocol to access hardware connected to it.
I had some help and the internet - cplusplus.com was my dearest friend after some time.
I did my first polymorphism and Factory pattern (did not even know its name) and all in all I was pretty naive and even came up with an idea of using the exception mechanism in the usual program flow. It was pretty elegant, but the others did not like it because "exceptions" should be an "exception" and not the usual case. After some reading I understood why (stack rewinding and undefined states).
What I want to say: the learning curve was very (very, very) steep. And I loved it all the way!
This was 10 years ago. And even though I changed to C# (currently looking into F#).
Until today I always try to do something differently the second time I have to do something I already know how to.

Join the Arizona Commission on the Arts, Arizona Western College and WACOG Area Agency on Aging to learn more about Creative Aging, an exciting national movement to advance understanding of the vital relationship between creative expression and healthy aging. This free event takes in the Schoening Conference Center on the AWC Main Campus. Advance registration is required and space is limited; registration will close once capacity has been reached.
This event is sponsored by APS. For more information, please contact Ann Wilkinson, Professor of Theatre, at (928) 344-7592 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For online registration visit the event page.
Anyone interested in the vital relationship between the arts and quality of life for older adults, including aging or healthcare service organization staff, caregivers, volunteers, teaching artists, and arts organizations should attend this event.
Guest artist Jorge Merced will provide an interactive exploration of the different approaches used across the continuum of care, and the brain/body research which shows that older adults who are engaged in the arts experience better overall health, enjoy a higher quality of life, and are more active in their communities. Participants will connect with other providers and artists interested in enriching the lives of older adults in their community, and will leave with concrete tools and ideas for Creative Aging in their own programs and work.
Jorge Merced is the Associate Artistic Director of Pregones Theater, and a company member since 1987. He is a graduate of City College-CUNY, and also studied at the Alvin Ailey School and EITALC (Cuba). Awards include numerous NY ACE and HOLA distinctions for outstanding performance and direction, El Diario/La Prensa's EL Award, and the LP21 Maestro Award, among others.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – Camera
The Note 8 gets a second rear-facing camera, just like the one you'll find on the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The main camera is a 12MP sensor behind a wide-angle, f/1.7 lens. The second is another 12MP sensor behind a zoomed lens that provides 2x optical zoom behind a f/2.4 aperture.
Best Galaxy Note 8 Deals
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – 35GB, £43pm, no upfront on EE
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – 35GB, £43pm, no upfront on EE
A great deal with a generous 35GB of data and zero upfront cost. This includes 3 months BT Sport and 6 months Apple Music to sweeten the deal.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – 30GB, £38pm, £30 upfront cost on EE
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 – 30GB, £38pm, £30 upfront cost on EE
Another good alternative if you want to lower your monthly cost in exchange for a little to pay upfront. You also get 3 months BT Sport and 6 months of Apple Music from EE.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Black – 10GB, £33pm, £79 upfront on EE
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Black – 10GB, £33pm, £79 upfront on EE
If you don't mind paying an upfront cost to help lower your monthly payment and don't need as much data, go for this option from Fonehouse. This likewise includes 3 months BT Sport and 6 months Apple Music for added value.
The main camera is excellent, producing clear, detailed and colourful shots that are beyond Instagram-worthy. There are loads of modes to choose from, and there's even a Pro mode for adjusting settings such as shutter speed to your exact liking. It has optical image stabilisation (OIS) and it's exceptionally rare for any photo to be unusable because of motion blur.
The second sensor is where things get interesting. It has double the focal length of the main camera, allowing you a little freedom to zoom in on a subject that's further away, or that would benefit from some cropping. Because the aperture isn't as wide as the main sensor, you do lose some flexibility, but in certain situations having this zoom is extremely advantageous.
The zoom lens' main benefit is the new Live Focus tool. This allows you to shoot images on the zoom lens, while the main sensor is being used to understand the background. Together, these let you de-focus the background while you're shooting to create some very classy-looking portrait photos.
It does require you to be around 1.2m from your subject, which can be a pain, and won't work if there's too little or too much light. If you want to make further adjustments, you can adjust the level of blur after you've finished shooting, which means you don't have to spend ages faffing around when taking the initial shot. Whether or not you're a fan of artificial bokeh, it works very well indeed. Any imperfections in the blurring were so small that at most normal image sizes they're impossible to see.
If it turns out you hate what you've created, the trusty wide-angle lens camera also takes a shot at the same time. It's this last feature that sets the Note 8 from its dual-camera rivals such as the Huawei P20 and iPhone 8 Plus. It's certainly not a deal-clincher, but can open up some fun creative opportunities.
Now for a few sample shots to show how this camera handles different lighting conditions.
On the video front, the camera can shoot slow-motion video at 720p at 240fps, which is spectacularly good fun. Regular video is good, too, and can be shot at beyond Full HD, although for file size purposes I'd recommend sticking to Full HD. OIS works wonders here, and video is smooth and vibrant.
The front-facing camera is another success, producing natural shots with plenty of detail and a lens wide enough comfortably fit more than three people in the frame.

|Tourists returning home gather at a waiting room at the Jeju International Airport Saturday afternoon as airlines have started resuming flight operations after Typhoon Kong-rey passed through the island. Yonhap
Flights are resuming operations at South Korean airports after Typhoon Kong-rey moved off of the Korean Peninsula, the Korea Airports Corporation (KAC) said Saturday.
According to the KAC, departures from Jeju International Airport resumed at 12:30 p.m.
Earlier in the day, around 300 flights, including international flights to China and Japan, were cancelled as the country was hit by Typhoon Kong-rey.
The KAC, however, advised travelers to check schedules in advance, as some flights are still cancelled.
The Korea Meteorological Administration issued a typhoon watch for most southern regions info the country earlier in the day. A heavy rain watch was issued for Seoul.
The typhoon moved off the Korean Peninsula around 12:40 p.m. towards the East Sea. Typhoon Kong-rey arrived in South Gyeongsang Province at 9:50 a.m., and passed through major cities in the region, including Busan, over a period of roughly three hours.
The administration is maintaining the typhoon warning for major cities in the southern region, warning residents they should still be cautious about strong winds and heavy rain. (Yonhap)

We are in the heart of Yeshwanthpur within walking displace of Orion Mall and the Iskcon Temple. If you are using Google Maps, look for "Bangalore Creative Circus" and it will get to you to the exact location. We are right next to the Restolex Mattress Warehouse.
We recommend that you take the Metro. We have three metro stations within walking distance of BCC (Yeshwanthpur, Sandal Soap Factory & Mahalakshmi metro stations).
We recommend the Sandal Soap Factory metro station. The walking route from Sandal Soap Factory to BCC is the safest and the most convenient. It's about a 15 minute walk from the metro station to BCC.
We DO NOT have parking within BCC and parking on the main road is limited. Be prepared to walk a short distance if you are bringing a car.

It's laugh-out-loud funny, as you'd expect it to be. But Peter Kay's new series also nails what car-sharing is all about.
From initial small talk, through deep conversations and the odd misunderstanding, to car games, radio sing-alongs and updates on dating disasters, we see awkward unfamiliarity blossom into a wonderful and life-enhancing friendship on the road.
John (Kay) and Kayleigh (Sian Gibson) work at an out-of-town supermarket in the north-west, which asks their staff to share lifts and says, "apparently it's good for the environment and there's not enough car park spaces at work". To a soundtrack provided by the fabulously cheesy "Forever FM", the two colleagues live out their daily commute – revealing what music they'd like played at their funerals, debating the existence of dinosaurs, and fantasising about starring in 1980s pop videos.
A nosy neighbour, a fish-counter colleague, and a trolley collector who'd be more at home on a "Diet Coke Break" advert provide some of the excellent extras, but mostly it is simply about John, Kayleigh and their car-sharing experiences. And it's addictive viewing.
If you're car-sharing already yourself, you'll recognise John and Kayleigh's adventures with a wry smile. If you're not sharing yet, the programme will probably make you want to! You can find other people travelling your way (for one-offs or the daily commute) on Liftshare.com. Or ask your employer to offer a staff Liftshare scheme too. You'll never want to travel on your own again.
Car Share is available on iPlayer from 1-5 April, before being broadcast on BBC1 later in April.

Went to see Car Share in Blackpool. Even funnier than Phoenix nights. Laughing from the start. Still laughing five days later.
BBC1's Car share is great and Peter Kay is still the funniest man on TV

Oh man, oh man! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've spent the last day and a half at Junk Bonanza in Shakopee, MN and I am pooped! It was so much fun, though, and such a great event. I took lots of pictures and I'll tell you all about it next week.
Today, though, I'll just share the things that I bought. I couldn't be around all of those amazing antiques and not buy anything!
I know this will come as a huge shock to everyone who knows me even a little bit, but I bought some ironstone. I found three pitchers, including this large one with a pretty handle and fluting…
…and two milk pitchers. Milk pitchers are one of my favorite things, so I pick them up if ever I find them at a good price. The pitcher above was $65 and the milk pitchers were $30/each.
I also bought a little metal nail box. I like these for art supplies and making small palettes. This one was $5.00.
And, one of my favorite finds was this little house, an advertisement for Minnesota Building & Loan Association…
First of all, what a cute little house and just my colors! (It looks black in the photos, but the roof is a dark blue.) Second, I loved the slogan "Save for a home". As a Dave Ramsey fan and someone who has become passionate about saving and paying cash for things, I love this message. It's not one you see coming from banks or builders or other retailers. The message you hear in this day and age is "buy now, pay later".
I'm putting it in the letter sorter in my studio. It's a good reminder to work hard, save money, and patiently plod towards long-term goals one dollar at a time.
My other favorite purchase was a Selina Vaughan Studios bag. I'm sort of a bag junkie and these are so well made. Every hook and grommet and leather strap is sturdy and top notch. And, of course, I loved this one, because of the antique blue, white, and green feed sack. At $170, it was my biggest splurge, but I will use this bag six ways from Sunday and for many years.
I did buy one more thing for the guest room, but I'll share that in another post.
I haven't found "my spots" for antiquing in this area, yet, so it was nice to hunt for treasures again. I have been missing some of my old antique haunts in PA lately. I need to "get out more" in Minnesota, though, to find my new honey holes in my new home state…

An Italian restaurant? First I heard a Panera would be taking over the space, then I heard a Corner Bakery would be coming to the former Adams Mill Bar and Grill space which closed in Feb. '11 at 1815 Adams Mill Road, NW. This property is killing my scuttlebutt to fact percentage. Well I'm in too deep to stop speculating now.
A reader sends a very scant report saying that a "new bar" was coming to the space and would probably open in April '12. But no other details were revealed. So I've chatted with folks who usually have pretty good scuttlebutt percentages and they now say they hear an Italian restaurant will be taking over the space. I'm gonna keep digging for more details.

Annie Armstrong – Relevant Role Model
March 9, 2020
Yesterday was International Women's Day. I don't know what that meant in this world. What I do know is this. Jesus loved women. All through the Bible text are examples of Him trusting them, using them, and not making a big deal about it. Jesus didn't need a memo that women were unique and useful. … More Annie Armstrong – Relevant Role Model

How to Pray
Indeed, this question was asked and Jesus answered:
" And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. "
So preferably pray in a quiet place, alone. Just express your self however it comes out of you as God knows your need and will understand you. And if you are really lost for words, just recite the above prayer "The Lords Prayer" followed by your request and that will suffice to the Lord.
All those who come to Christ, being them who do not deny the truth of the Gospel: believing everything, then repenting and baptising, will actually receive 'the baptism' (as I call it) and be cleansed from their sins, becoming Holy Persons: Christians.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Matthew 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Luke 11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Luke 11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Luke 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
1 John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:
1John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

To help you get the most out of your encounters with music, here are some tips to help you optimize how you use music in your life:
- Increase the time you spend with music from your past! Listening to music that has a personal connection can help you revisit important moments from your life and increase the secretion of mood boosting hormones like dopamine and serotonin.
- Take time to move to music! Whether it's dancing around the house with a grandchild or partner, or listening to music during a workout, moving to music is a proven mood booster. Choose music that moves in a tempo that reflects how fast or slow you want to move!
- Connect with your community in music making! One of the greatest things we can do together as humans is make music together. We are musical systems, designed to move, sing, and connect in music making! Find a music therapy program or community music activity like a choir to help increase social connections in your life.

Yemen on the brink of 'worst famine in 100 years'
According to the UN 12 to 13 million people are now facing starvation in Yemen by January 2019
Nov 8 2018
With violence around Hodeidah Port in Yemen escalating, the meeting of world legislators on 8th November in Paris is critical.
Human rights, humanitarian and peacebuilding organisations are demanding that legislators meeting for the first International Parliamentary Conference for Peace in Yemen demand their governments work together to end the crisis.
Juliet Parker, Action Against Hunger's Director of Operations, said: "Today's meeting of MPs in Paris comes at a critical time as the humanitarian situation in Yemen worsens.This week there has been a steep escalation in violence around Hodeidah in a conflict that has already claimed the lives of tens of thousands of young children from malnutrition. The need for a new UN Security Council Resolution on Yemen is urgent. A new resolution must demand a comprehensive cessation of hostilities, hold all parties to account for breaches of international law, and enable humanitarian and commercial access throughout the country to meet the urgent needs of a starving population."
The United Nations last month warned that there could be just three months left to avoid what could be 'the worst famine in 100 years', adding that a coalition military offensive on the rebel-held port of Hodeidah would have an 'incalculable human cost'.
Action Against Hunger, along with other international organisations working in Yemen, is extremely concerned by the latest advances of pro-government forces in and around Hodeidah and the consequent cutting off routes to the north and east of the country. Already, half a million people have been displaced in Hodeidah governorate, and further attacks will likely result in a new wave of displacement as people flee fearing the conflict.
Yemen produces just 20 percent of the food needed to feed its population, and is highly dependent on imports. More than 60 percent of the country's imports come through the port of Hodeidah. Cutting off the port would increase those in need by hundreds of thousands and further weaken the 12 to 13 million people now facing starvation in Yemen by January 2019, according to the UN. At least 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict and millions have fled the fighting.
Action Against Hunger strongly condemns all attacks in Yemen that result in civilian casualties and reminds all parties of their responsibilities with respect to international humanitarian law. Action Against Hunger urges all parties to urgently demand a cessation of hostilities, to stop the fighting in and around Hodeidah, and to restart dialogue with the United Nations.
Action Against Hunger in Yemen
Since the start of the devastating conflict, Action Against Hunger has been providing humanitarian assistance to affected populations across Yemen. Despite difficult access, our teams reached more than 600,000 beneficiaries in 2017. Our nutrition and health programmes provide support for acutely malnourished children under five and their mothers; food security and livelihoods programmes through the direct distribution of food or money and/or food coupons; and water, sanitation and hygiene programmes including promotion and distribution of kits, and rehabilitation of water points and latrines. We have trained health workers and treated nearly 30,000 suspected cases of cholera at an Action Against Hunger-supported hospital near Hodeidah.

Today's programme on our Main Stream features music from the Baroque era and while it includes the music of J S Bach, it also includes many other composers of the period, both well-known and seldom-heard.
Listeners may find it strange to discover that during his lifetime J S Bach was thought somewhat old-fashioned and behind the times, as other composers adopted more decorated rococo styles. Today, of course, it's a different matter and there is a vast library of recordings of his work available, a selection of which we will hear during the programme.

Groups C & D – Wednesday 26го November
Zenit St Petersburg V Benfica – 17:00
Group C kicks of early today as Benfica travel to Russian league leaders Zenit, with both sides needing a win to keep their Champions League dream alive. Neither side have been particularly impressive in the competition, as both teams currently have just 4pts from 4 games so far. Back on match day 1, Zenit actually beat Benfica 2-0 in Portugal. Benfica have been improving and took 4pts off Monaco in the previous 2 games. However, in the sub-zero temperatures of St Petersburg it makes sense to back Zenit -0.5 at 2.05.
Bayer Leverkusen V Monaco – 19:45
Leverkusen will be confident of wrapping up top spot in Group C tonight, when they host Monaco at the Bay Arena. The Germans may have lost at Monaco in the reverse fixture but have won all 3 games since, scoring 8 and conceding just 2. They're also undefeated at home so far this season. Monaco really struggled in the 2 recent games against Benfica and have just 1 goal to their name so far in the competition. The advised trade here is to back Bayer Leverkusen -1 at 2.20, which has won in both their other home games in the group.
Arsenal V Borussia Dortmund – 19:45
These two sides have had similarly disappointing seasons so far, both struggling for domestic league form but both should ultimately qualify from Group D in the end. In fact Dortmund have been flying in this seasons Champions League, 4 wins from 4 games and 13 goals scored with just 1 conceded. While, the Gunners have been making life difficult for themselves by leaving it until the 89го minute to comeback at Anderlecht and then blowing a 3-0 lead in the reverse fixture 2 weeks later. Dortmund's recent form suggests they'll have too much for Arsenal tonight, so the advised trade is Dortmund 0 (Draw No Bet) at 2.05.
Anderlecht V Galatasaray – 19:45
Both these sides are as good as out of the race for a spot in the 1улица knockout round and in fact neither team has registered a win yet from their 4 games. At least Anderlecht have shown some improvement in the back to back games with Arsenal, while Galatasaray have been woeful. The Turkish side have scored 3 and conceded 13 in their 4 games and have only drawn 1, while losing 7 of their last 8 away in Europe. After their comeback at the Emirates, the Belgian champions should be full of confidence so, the advised trade is Anderlecht -0.5 at 2.15.

Though Yahoo's display advertising revenue in total was up 5 percent to $467 million in Q2, that was less than analysts anticipated. And as CEO Carol Bartz noted during the company's earnings call, the company's Americas display ad dollars were were flat and within the U.S., it was actually down. "Display did not perform well, and I'm not happy," she said, kicking off the call with a dissection of the company's ad performance. "This was unexpected."
Sounding a bit more subdued than the f-bomb dropping feistiness of her earlier exchanges with analysts, Bartz was absolutely clear about identifying the root causes of Yahoo's display troubles. She also offered a sense of how Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) plans to turn the situation around.
"Let's start with what this was not," Bartz said. This was not about new competitive developments. It was not about the economy — though it didn't help, as we saw softness in autos and other major categories like retail and consumer products. It was not about engagement."
No, the bottom line was that Yahoo didn't have enough sales people to close the deals with premium marketers and that was due to the changes to Yahoo's leadership and sales force structure. She noted that among the new hires were well-respected sales vets Ross Levinsohn, from Fox Interactive Media (NSDQ: NWS), as well as former AOL-er Mark Ellis and former Time Inc. (NYSE: TWX) exec Wayne Powers "We decided to reorganize the sales force for more rapid display growth in the future. There was significant turnover as all these changes affected. We underestimated on how much the changes would affect turnover."
She said that the sales force staffing level is now back to where it was six months ago, but it that it would take time until those individuals got settled. Therefore, Bartz warned investors to expect a flat Q3.
In addition to continuing to build up the sales teams, Yahoo is also refocusing on its ad exchange. Yahoo was ahead of almost everyone when it bought Right Media about three years ago, but the landscape has changed drastically recently, as companies like Google (NSDQ: GOOG) have established dominance of display with its own Google Ad Exchange and display network — and now, it's expected to have a complete pipeline for the buy and the sell sides with the addition of AdMeld, a supply-side platform that will complement Google's demand-side offerings with Invite Media, which it bought last year.
"We had a lot of ads move through out exchange this past quarter and we're aiming for more premium sales as we move forward with some new products," she said, though without much specification.

As I am sitting here in my media center, I think a great deal of cyber-security. I have this small room with 12 computers. I can see for them most part what my students are doing. At the beginning of the school year, they were given a Technology Code of Conduct which they sign and a copy is kept in the school office. They promise to use the computers for academic purposes only and will try not to any way violate this agreement. Yet, we know teens. They like to push limits (so did we when we were their age). Not everything they do can be totally reprehensible, but it only takes one student to take those limits far enough that it hurts someone else. As an SLMS, what am I supposed to do? I want to allow my students some leeway in utilizing social media, but I am afraid that the person seated next to them will hack into their account when they walk away from the computer and I am not looking. We have this wealth of information at our fingertips and yet we have to be instrumental in teaching our own children and students the rights/wrongs of the using the computers. We too cannot allow ourselves to be so naïve in presuming that things are so secure because of the latest filters we have in place. There is always danger lurking and sad to say it has come in to cyberspace.

Everyone in Paris smokes. Teenagers, the young, the old, everyone. Sitting outside at a bistro you may sit between a smoker and a dog, dogs are allowed almost everywhere including on your lap in a restaurant. Very dog friendly city, only problem is the massive amount of dog sh*t on the sidewalks. Oh and the cigarette butts, they litter the streets like confetti after a parade.
Fashion. Paris is a more casual city than I remember from the 90's. Men and women wear jeans and sneakers and seem to be dressed more for practicality and style than statement. Many of the clothes I see on young Parisians are American brands, Levi, Hurley, Gap, Old Navy and Converse. Converse sneakers are very popular here. Another popular trend, US college t-shirts and sports team wear. I've spotted NYU, Ohio State and Michigan t-shirts in the shops. Overall Parisians don't seem to be as coutre as in the past, I think Italians may hold that title. French men have the thickest most beautiful hair I've ever seen. Men and women are aging beautifully here.
I've walked miles of streets in Paris each day and passed only 1 health club, 1 yoga studio and seen only 5 joggers. Paris is not a City of exercise addicts like major cities in America. Most people are average size if not thin, in fact I have yet to spot more than 5 or 6 obese people and they were most likely tourists from the USA. The French seem to have found the perfect balance with food, they enjoy everything in moderation. Well except the smoking, they look fantastic but probably have black lungs.
Charm. I've met some charming men in Paris. At a private dinner party the other evening in a Paris art studio I met Michael. Michael spoke at least 3 languages to different guests at the party and seemed to know everything about Paris. He looked a bit like Michael Caine, had lived in Paris for 50 years but had a slight NY accent and had known our host for decades. He was fascinating, direct and funny. I appreciate the directness of European men. Another man at the dinner party, Victor said to me, most likely after loosening his tongue with the excellent wine, "I have to ask you...you are obviously attractive and intelligent...why are you not married." Needless to say we had an interesting conversation after that ice breaker and a lot of laughs.
1 more week in this wonderful City just won't be enough.

Bobby Darling's husband Ramneek Sharma jailed for domestic violence
Actor Bobby Darling's husband Ramneek Sharma was sent to jail in domestic violence case. Last year in September, Bobby who renamed herself Paakhi Sharma accused Ramneek of torturing her emotionally and sexually. "Today is the third day that he is behind bars. The Delhi police arrested him on May 11. Thereafter, he moved application before Delhi courts but it has been rejected. Thankfully, I stand vindicated," she was quoted as saying. Ramneek moved Delhi Court but his bail plea was rejected.
Bobby Darling married Bhopal-based road contractor Ramneek Sharma in a private ceremony in February 2016 and she filed a domestic violence case against Ramneek in September 2017.
Talking to Bombay Times, Bobby had then said, "Ramnik would beat me up after getting drunk and accuse me of having extramarital affairs with every second man. He also usurped my property and money. He made me give him co-ownership of my flat in Mumbai, and did the same when we bought our penthouse in Bhopal. He also bought a SUV using my money immediately after the marriage. Now, I am left with nothing. He had paid the building's security guards to keep an eye on me, and they would inform him of all my moves. He kept a tab on who I spoke with and where I went. Tired of the constant bickering, I suggested that we get divorced with mutual consent, but on the condition that I would get my property and the car back. However, he didn't agree to it. He would, in fact, beat me to because will in his name. I want my property back so that I can sell it off and move back to Mumbai."
Bobby had added, "I have faced a lot of domestic violence. I still can't move my left hand freely and limp while walking. My speech is also slurred. I would cry like a child and pee in my clothes while pleading with him to stop hitting me.""I request all my friends, family, fans, acquaintances, members from LGBTQ community, media and others to help and support me in my movement for justice- "Justice for Bobby". You all are my pillar of strength and I am sure that with your blessings I will be able to get justice from the legal justice system. CAW Cell, Rani Bagh has called me and my husband for a meeting on 12th September 2017.On my wall u will get the link of my fan page JUSTICE FOR BOBBY DARLING linked wid my facebook account (sic)," Bobby had written on Facebook.`

Leftover Chicken Bones (Group Sales Gab)
~Kathryn Bobel, Co-Director of Group Sales
My past few blog inspirations had come to me rather quickly and easily, and my every-other-Thursday deadline was never an issue. This week, however, I had more trouble coming up with a blog idea than Chuck Knoblauch had coming up with an error-free night in the field. But, last night while I was at the gym, the latest SI came to the rescue. As many media outlets do, SI had compiled a decade list of the best and worst of everything in sports, specifically re-printing chuckle-inducing "Signs of the Apocalypse" and "They Said Its" from the past ten years. (A personal favorite: Ducks winger Teemu Selanne on the hockey culture–or lack thereof–in Anaheim–"It's not like back home in Finland or even Canada, where girls wanted my leftover chicken bones from a meal I ate.") So, as I loped along on the treadmill reading about all the mind-boggling and sometimes bone-headed statements that have come out of athletes' mouths, I started to reflect upon what I have gone through in the past ten years and what the next ten years will be made of.
A decade ago, I was 13 and an 8th grader at Guion Creek Middle School in Indianapolis where I played volleyball, basketball, and softball. (In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't really play basketball. I attempted it. I wasn't allowed to dribble or pass–just shoot, which as long as no one was guarding me, I was pretty decent at.) I went to my classes, went to my athletic competitions, went home to do homework, went to sleep, got up the next morning and did it all again. My biggest worries then were making sure my pony tail looked perfect every day and avoiding my kooky science teacher who called me Bobeli (a play on Boboli, the pizza crust). Rent and car insurance and cell phone bills weren't even a dot on the horizon yet.
My high school years seem like they happened two decades ago, with just fond memories of bus rides to away softball games, prom, and my first car, a 1989 Mercury Cougar, floating around in my head. Most of my free time was spent on the softball field, and if I wasn't there, I was pondering how to possibly get my batting average above .300. Worries then were, again, typical–which of my 19 hoodies do I wear today, where did I put my English paper, and how can I get out of my calculus quiz this time? When graduation came, leaving Pike High School wasn't so difficult, simply because I knew I was going on to bigger and better things. The next few years were everything I had hoped for.
College came and went with fury, and it's still hard to fathom that I graduated over a year ago. While at un-falcon-believable Bowling Green, my biggest concern was making sure I could pack as much sport and entertainment experience as I could onto my resume in three and a half years. I volunteered for every minute sporting event occurring on campus, hoping that it would eventually help land me my dream job in baseball. I also, of course, found time to lounge around and do normal college kid things like see how many people you can fit into a dorm room closet.
That pretty much brings you up to present-day, 2010 Kathryn who currently resides in North Carolina doing her dream job and blogging every other week. Ten years ago I didn't know what the decade would throw at me, but was fairly confident I could handle it (as long as it didn't throw any junk. I am turrble–as Charles Barkley would say–at hitting anything that curves, slurves, dives, or drops). In 2020 (!!), I will be 33 (!!) and hopefully still working in baseball; I really can't imagine being employed in any other field. Only time will tell, but hopefully by then I'll have learned to keep my hands back and hit the off-speed stuff. Anyone seen Brian Dayett?
Kathryn Bobel is entering her second season with the Crawdads and first as Co-Director of Group Sales. She served as Sales Assistant with the 'Dads throughout the 2009 campaign, after stints with the Indianapolis Indians (AAA) and US Track and Field.

Park Chan-wook fans need only wait a few more months for his new film, the excellent-looking Stoker, and that should be enough for anyone with the proper interest. And, yet, FilmSmash (via Twitch) have uncovered news of something a little different; being a South Korean production, also something more familiar. Most of the information only comes by way of photos and an oblique teaser — which isn't at all bad, in fairness — except to say he has a project called Day Trip, a second collaboration (the first being Night Fishing) with his brother, Park Chan-kyung.
The shots are fairly non-descript, showing Song Kang-ho — Park's star in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and Thirst — wearing a bad wig, playing "a stubborn teacher [with] his female student (Jeon Hyo-jeong) who go to the mountain for vocal training." Odd, and the absurd / wonderful wig on his head, doesn't do much to alleviate questions which now surround the project. Nonetheless, I can't wait to see what comes of this.
Here's a teaser:

Looking at these images, has Day Trip snagged your attention?

5 Fascinating Things That Happen To Your Body After A 20 Minute Nap
Sometimes it seems like the older you are, the more you truly appreciate the beauty of nap time. Sleeping for a few minutes during the day can feel like the ultimate luxury. And as it turns out, there are plenty of fascinating things that happen to your body after a 20 minute nap that explain why these mini-sleeps are so lovely. As someone who absolutely loves naps, I was thrilled to learn more about this topic, because any justification for continuing nap-time long into adulthood is fine by me.
Before diving into all the reasons why naps are good, it's important to establish why sleep deprivation is bad. And really, it's a terrible thing that goes way beyond feeling grumpy at work. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause irritability and concentration problems, while long-term sleeplessness can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, according to the National Health Service. Sleep is so essential for your mind and body.
A few years ago, the rallying cry in my college study groups was "Sleep is for the weak." But now I know that sleeping enough at night, and allowing yourself to take naps during the day, is a much healthier approach. Here are some reasons to give your brain and body a little break every afternoon with a much-deserved nap.
1. Increased Alertness
If you're maxed out on caffeine consumption for the day, then quick naps are a safe way to get that much-needed energy boost. "You can get incredible benefits from 15 to 20 minutes of napping," said sleep expert Sara C. Mednick, PhD, in WebMD. "You reset the system and get a burst of alertness and increased motor performance." That power nap can literally help you power up for a little more wakefulness.
2. Lower Blood Pressure
Quick naps may be beneficial for your overall health as well. "Midday naps seem to lower blood pressure levels and may probably also decrease the number of required antihypertensive medic [drugs]," said lead researcher Dr. Manolis Kallistratos, who worked on a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology annual conference, according to The Telegraph. If napping is the habit that legitimately saves lives, then I'm all for it.
3. Stress Reduction
The custom of taking a nap after lunch may provide some serious health benefits, including reduced stress and increased relaxation. In fact, going without enough sleep is worse than going without enough food, according to researchers from the Sleep Section of the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (SEMERGEN), as reported in Europa Press. Give yourself permission to crash on the couch.
4. Quicker Reaction Time
When you're getting through that mid-afternoon slump, it can feel like your entire body is slogging through molasses. You just feel slow. But a nap can improve your overall performance, even resulting in faster reaction times, according to the Mayo Clinic. You'll be quick on your feet again in no time.
5. Reduce Risk Of Heart Disease
All that stress reduction and lower blood pressure from napping may pay off in a big way, health-wise. Taking short naps may ultimately decrease the risk of heart disease, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to catch some shut-eye and seriously benefit my health for a few minutes. Hopefully you'll get to enjoy a nap soon as well.

Sen. Joe Manchin said Wednesday he sensed a bipartisan spirit among the Republicans and Democrats meeting for dinner and to talk about tax reform with President Donald Trump at the White House Tuesday night.
"There were seven of us, four Republicans, three Democrats," said the West Virginia Democrat on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, noting that Vice President Mike Pence, National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also were present.
"We started with a lot of talk about infrastructure," Manchin said. "The president basically [went] back and forth about the exciting things that can happen, how we can work together, but public-private means not just turning things over, but building it quicker and faster . . . so we got right into tax reform, and the president was adamant that this is not a tax cut for the rich."
The president's plan, he continued, is an overhaul, as "we have not changed this tax code for man,y many, many years. You have to compete in the marketplace and we're in the global market."
Manchin pointed out that nobody has seen the details of Trump's plan, and that he made it clear to the president that he "cannot look at my 10 babies, my wonderful grandchildren, and say 'look at what we left you.'"
Pence, in a speech in West Virginia, pointed out the current tax code is nine times bigger than the bible, "'without any good stories,'" said Manchin, pointing out that Pence was right.
"It needs to be changed," the moderate Democrat said. "We're talking middle class, mainstreet. That is what they were talking about. I'm thinking hey, I'm excited about this, let's see what happens . . . I'm open-minded about this."
Trump is popular in West Virginia, and the White House is planning a tour soon to push the tax reform plan. Manchin said he'd be willing to welcome him there and be on stage with him.
"My state is open," Manchin said. "In West Virginia, we welcome, that's who we are. We welcome anyone and everybody, especially the president, whoever he or she may be. So if they ask me to be there, absolutely I will be there. I'm going to do the best I can, but I'm going to put it on my best foot to welcome everyone that wants to see the channels we have."
Meanwhile, Manchin said he does not believe that the Democratic Party is moving too far left, as some watchers believe.
"West Virginia is right in the center and we have more Democrats registered still than independents, but they're saying it didn't work too much on the Democratic side, I'll try the Republican side," Manchin said. "I have to find a way to bring that forward and that means working with everyone. The far left, that's not where I am. I can recognize and I appreciate where they're coming from, but it's not who I am and who I will be. I'm fiscally responsible and socially compassionate. I will not make you pay for something I want, to make myself look good."

Are in Crisis
At the start of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinos roamed the wild.
By 1970, the worldwide population fell to 70,000.
Today, only 29,500 rhinos survive in the wild.
Four of the five species remaining are threatened.
Three are critically endangered, which means they could go extinct in our lifetime.
Record Poaching
Across Africa, poachers kill three or more rhinos per day to feed the demand for horn on the black market.
Rhino deaths in Africa may soon outpace births.
In 2017, more than 1,100 rhinos were killed across Africa - a nearly 9,000% increase since 2007.
Last year, poachers killed more than 1,028 rhinos in South Africa, 36 in Zimbabwe, and 32 in Namibia. This does not count orphaned rhino calves who have died after losing their mothers.
Growing Demand for Rhino Horn
Burgeoning middle classes in China and Vietnam are increasingly able to afford rhino horn, which is illegally traded on the black market. This demand drives record poaching rates.
Rhinos are poached for their horn, which is made of keratin — the same as your hair and fingernails
Consumers in Vietnam use rhino horn as purported cures for everything from hangovers to cancer and as a show of wealth
Consumers in China use rhino horn as a status symbol and in Traditional Asian Medicine to reduce fever and treat other ailments
There is no scientific evidence that rhino horn has any medicinal value.
Habitat Fragmentation
Human development has chopped up landscapes where rhinos live, leading to small, isolated populations that cannot get together to breed.
Dividing a habitat prevents rhinos from breeding.
Lack of Political Will
Range countries and consumer countries alike need to crack down on corruption, enforce their laws, and uphold their commitments to international treaties if rhinos are to survive.
This is crucial if rhinos are to survive.
Rhinos Could Go Extinct in Our Lifetime
Help rhinos survive generations to come.Donate
