This was my second annual meeting and a fourth formal meeting with the TALearn associates in the last three years. The annual meeting organised in Rio from 11-14 November, 2015 provided a further opportunity to build bridges with practitioners, researchers and donor/grant makers. The interactions of three sub-communities within the overarching theme of TALearn community, during these four days, opened up space for mutual enrichment through conversations, sharing of ideas, experiences and varying perspectives and an opportunity to appreciate each other's positions, perspectives and differences as well.
Learning drives all the three communities! That was an interesting learning for me. However, as I mulled over these experiences through the new relationships that I have built, a few insights on triangular learning needs and their intersections, foreshadowed by my own practitioner's bias are penned here. The key question that I asked was – does learning drive these communities and can the learning needs intersect each other? How is learning located within each one's context and realities?
The reflections expressed here are not referring to any particular event or personality or institution.
Practitioners: Practitioners grapple with the challenges that confront communities on an everyday basis across the continents. Any change in global policy, donor policy, state policy, financial market upheaval, or climate change affects communities almost instantly. The world of practitioners is a real world of shifting sands, dynamic as well as challenging. Everything that happens in the world affects the practitioner's world where the real people live in real time, and these communities and people are not mere numbers or news, but 'people who matter' to us. Such real people's real needs are experienced by the practitioners and are challenged to address them irrespective of them being donor's priority or not. The various types of marginalisation that communities experience cannot be thematically and vertically segregated as many academicians, donors or researchers do, as it is the same household or community that experiences them simultaneously. Malnutrition, safe drinking water, sanitation, access to wages and education are intricately linked to illness and health challenges. Besides, success in addressing them is linked to the political environment and the functioning of the public systems including the health care system and their sense of accountability. Hence, the deprivations of various kinds – illness, hunger, deprivation, discrimination against women, children, adolescent, the aged or persons with disability and so on, – exist in the same community or in the same households, though very frequently the accountability researchers or donors verticalise it as accountability for food and nutrition, water or sanitation or health, without seeing the intersectionality between these themes. The community and household within community is the point of intersection for all the development challenges and programmes, which the practitioner encounters on a daily basis.
The learning needs of practitioners are driven by some key questions such as – what better practice can make a difference for the community, what are the new tools and knowledge that can sharpen the edge of practice. Often the practitioners are also victims of the hegemony of knowledge and development idioms of donors and researchers – they have to shift from being activists to research assistants, community facilitators, knowledge partners etc.
The donor community: The world looks vastly different from a helicopter as compared to the outlook of a pedestrian or a trekker. The global donors, by and large, try to look at world from a far removed-from-the-real world perspective. From a distance, the world of poverty and marginalisation look similar if not the same. The problems of hunger, thirst, malnutrition, conflict, power hierarchies within community too appear to be similar. The abstract mind then logically rushes to give "global solutions" to complex development problems, providing a different justification /reason in each era and a jargon to articulate that reason such as lack of governance and accountability, lack of transparency and so on. However, in the complex system which the world is composed of, every issue is determined by and embedded in local socio-political realities, which end up being abstracted, simplified and homogenised from above. The reality is only complete with a 'pedestrian' perspective where such problems are contexualised and embedded. The donor's world sometimes hooks on to the simplified versions of the solution without understanding the complexity which is part of the problem.
The donor community is driven by the hunger for efficienct, result-oriented investment. It demands SMART objectives, quick results, often looking for technological solutions for complicated problems, in pursuit of a magical pill as workable solution. The strategies and foci of the donor communities change, far more rapidly than the shifting sands which shake communities. There is a simplified version of the reality and a magical understanding of solutions. Donor community is well informed of various practices and has an acute clarity on their mission and tasks. Many of the donor professionals are up-to-date with the changing jargons, phraseology, and appropriate political language and articulation. Most of them are very well intentioned and want to work for a better world, though, yet times are far removed from the actual messy world. The desire that this change may be expedited by use of technology, new tools, new knowledge obviously is a key factor, among others, that drives the learning needs of the donor community.
Globally, the donor community makes use of research data to inform their strategies and perspectives. However, what kind of research informs them and what kind of information moves and shifts their strategies? It is intriguing sometimes to know, if this transition is driven by reality based and relevant data or is it a 'data' driven shift without questioning the politics behind data generation and knowledge making
Research Community: Some have described researchers as 'forensic experts' adept in conducting post-mortem of the reality with a desire to fore-cast the future! Such reports do pose themselves as the new knowledge, not necessarily adding anything new to the existing knowledge. With the expertise they are associated, research community is wanted by both – the practitioners as well as the donors. The former, want a legitimization of their work, and the latter, scientific information on the reality or a scientific view of the reality or evidence based information. Among all the three communities, researchers have the best of articulation, frameworks, perspectives, language, skills and tools, which also –yet times- given rise to the illusion that you have the best of solution to the problems of the world. There are very few researchers who dare to test out their findings, recommendations or the solutions they think they have.
The research community is keen to keep themselves abreast with the current happenings in all the fields which they intersect, including that of practitioners and of donors. They strive to learn about new practices, new experiments as and strike a happy cord with the practitioners as all the investigations, random control trials, cross-section studies etc are happening at the cutting edge of practice, the field of poverty and hunger, the esteemed laboratory of research.
Meeting different learning needs – a challenging task of TALearn: Meeting different learning needs is not easy. Despite having different world views, what one could observe was that each of the three communities, was genuinely interested in learning new things and learning from each other. TALearn provided a fantastic 'micro-cosm' drawn from the best of practitioners, best of researchers and best of donors, representing almost 21 nationalities. It was good to recognise that each of the communities is contextualized differently and is driven by each one's own learning needs, which may be similar but not the same. There are a number of meeting points between the different communities and a genuine recognition of learning from each other. It is important to protect this space for solidarity. As a community of learners, of course, there were moments of giggle, aha!, and also moments of raising eye-brows, moments of laughter and of silence. The 'peer –learning' was a best way to provide for everyone's participation and technical inputs from each of the communities was very enriching. The learning space was a great thing to happen.
While the journey of learning moves on; we recognised that the final destination that all aimed at philosophically at least, is the same – a just, equitable and sustainable world. However, as we carry different world views, we also recognise that the paths of unfolding this vision may be divergent at times, sometimes simple, and at times simplistic. The challenge remains to each one of the learners – how flexible can/will we be, to move out of our own boxes, how adaptable will we be to unlearn or to drop convenient learning and to accept the truth that reality is far more complex and the best solutions that we offer may be short lived, just like a meteor.
I realise – learning is a very humbling exercise.

Over 23 information technology centers with about 1.5 million students in Ohio will soon benefit from standardized disaster recovery, storage, and data backup solutions. According to TechTarget, the Ohio Education Computer Network will implement this new system in order to reduce backup costs and improve the efficiency and reliability of storage and recovery.
For the schools, one of the primary benefits of the shared storage solution is that it reduces the risk of one location losing data due to server loss. According to the news source, the new system can quickly recover if one machine goes down at any of the sites, restoring data and applications swiftly.
Ryan McClay, enterprise project manager for the OECN, told the news source that the organization still uses disk backups as well, and tape as a tertiary safety-net.
"All backups go straight to disk, but we want to be able to disaster recover the DR site," McClay said.
In addition to consolidating data backup, this new endeavor will standardize the various institution's policies as well, ensuring that all schools are dealing with their data with the same, high-quality care.

Don't let anyone dim your light. If they're trying to dim it, it's because your shining in their eyes.
If there are people out there that are really going out of their way to make you feel miserable, then you need to remind yourself that they are the ones that are deeply troubled. They are the type of people that feel good feeding off others pain. They laugh, smile and gossip at the fact you are feeling down. But here's a secret. If you stand tall, smile and show them you don't care (even if you do, just care behind closed doors) then they will have no choice but to move on. They are bullies.
I made the mistake of letting bullies get to me. Throughout my entire childhood I had best friends that made me feel worthless. They made me feel like I truly wasn't a worth anything. To this day they are all best friends still, except I'm not included. But to be honest, I was never included. They always excluded me, hurt me, bitched about me. They threw me around like a rag doll. To this day, they still bitch about me. They still try and hurt me. All I do now is laugh because they truly must be deeply psychologically fucked up to try and get a rise out of me. It's been happening for a solid 15 years for one in particular.
They cannot hurt me anymore. I will continue to rise and I will continue to have such positive surroundings that they will start to hate me even more. They will hate that I am able to be the best person I can be, while they live a terrible, depressing life. While I am so happily in love with a beautiful person, they will struggle to deal with their inner demons.
Today I am happy. Today I stand tall.

UPDATE 8:40 p.m. EDT: The White House issued a statement late Saturday, expressing condolences for those killed by Saturday's bombing.
On behalf of the American people, I extend my deepest condolences to the medical professionals and other civilians killed and injured in the tragic incident at a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz. The Department of Defense has launched a full investigation, and we will await the results of that inquiry before making a definitive judgment as to the circumstances of this tragedy. I have asked the Department of Defense to keep me apprised of the investigation and expect a full accounting of the facts and circumstances. Michelle and I offer our thoughts and prayers to all of the civilians affected by this incident, their families, and loved ones. We will continue to work closely with President Ghani, the Afghan government, and our international partners to support the Afghan National Defense and Security forces as they work to secure their country.
UPDATE 5:00 p.m. EDT -- The United Nations joined Doctors Without Borders in condemning the aerial bombing of a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, Saturday. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called for a "thorough and impartial" investigation into the attack, which killed 12 members of the international humanitarian group's staff and at least seven patients. At least 37 others were injured.
"The secretary general recalls that hospitals and medical personnel are explicitly protected under international humanitarian law," read a statement released Saturday by Ban's spokesman. "[Doctors Without Borders] has been operating the only hospital in Kunduz under extremely trying conditions. The secretary general commends the courageous and dedicated staff of the organization and extends his deepest sympathies to the families of those killed and injured in this attack."
Lajos Zoltan Jecs, a Doctors Without Borders nurse who was in the Kunduz trauma hospital when the facility was struck Saturday morning, described the bombing in a statement released that day. "It was crazy," he said. "We had to organize a mass casualty plan in the office, seeing which doctors were alive and available to help. We did an urgent surgery for one of our doctors. Unfortunately, he died there on the office table. We did our best, but it wasn't enough."

Original story:
Doctors Without Borders, the international humanitarian group, condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the aerial bombing of its hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, Saturday. The U.S.-confirmed airstrikes killed 12 members of the organization's staff and at least seven patients, including three children. It also injured 37 other people.
The attack "constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law," Doctors Without Borders President Meinie Nicolai said in a statement. "We cannot accept that this horrific loss of life will simply be dismissed as 'collateral damage.'"
Allegedly carried out by international coalition forces and coordinated by the U.S. military, the airstrikes were reportedly conducted during a counterinsurgency effort targeting the Taliban in the northeastern region of Afghanistan. It was the first time since the U.S. began pulling most of its military personnel from the country that American forces played an active role in supporting Afghan troops, the New York Times reported.

— Doctors w/o Borders (@MSF_USA) October 3, 2015
While Doctors Without Borders called for an independent investigation of the attack "to ensure maximum transparency and accountability," American military leaders promised to provide answers to questions after its own probe, with Defense Secretary Ashton Carter saying Afghanistan and the U.S. had begun a "full investigation into the tragic incident."
The U.S. military confirmed that the coalition carried out an airstrike at 2:15 a.m. local time that targeted individuals "who were threatening the force." But "there may have been collateral damage to a nearby medical facility," the New York Times quoted American officials as saying.
Doctors Without Borders said its trauma hospital in Kunduz had been hit by a series of aerial bombing raids from 2:08 a.m. to 3:15 a.m. local time. The central hospital building -- encompassing emergency rooms, an intensive-care unit and a physiotherapy ward -- was struck repeatedly at about 15-minute intervals, the organization said in its statement.
"The bombs hit and then we heard the plane circle round," said Heman Nagarathnam, the Doctors Without Borders head of programs in northern Afghanistan. "There was a pause, and then more bombs hit. This happened again and again. When I made it out from the office, the main hospital building was engulfed in flames. Those people that could had moved quickly to the building's two bunkers to seek safety. But patients who were unable to escape burned to death as they lay in their beds."
Organization officials said it provided the GPS coordinates of its trauma hospital to coalition and Afghan forces as recently as Sept. 29, to avoid being hit by airstrikes. It's a routine practice for Doctors Without Borders, said Nicolai, the organization's president.
"Besides resulting in the deaths of our colleagues and patients, this attack has cut off access to urgent trauma care for the population in Kunduz at a time when its services are most needed," Nicolai said. "Once again, we call on all warring parties to respect civilians, health facilities, and medical staff, according to international humanitarian law."

A Midsummer Night's Dream (夏の夜の夢 Natsu no Yoru no Yume) is the second episode of Ultraman Ginga.
While Alien Valky is dancing and teasing the Spark Dolls, Dark Lugiel approaches him and give Valky a new mission.
Meanwhile, the illegal dumpers earlier had been sentenced into exorcism ritual by Hikaru's grandpa, Hotsuma whom believes that they have been possessed by evil spirit. As the ritual ended, it shocked all of them. Later, while everyone plays football, a maniac biker disturbs them and chases Misuzu. Hikaru saves her while Taro uses his Ultra Psychokinesis to hold him off for Officer Kakky to catch him. But the maniac biker escapes again. At night, Hikaru thanked Taro for rescuing them earlier as Taro revealed that such information about Ginga are nonexist in the Land of Light archives. Taro later reveals all of the information of Ultraman to Hikaru.
The next day, Hikaru's friends wake him up and Misuzu is nowhere to be seen. As Hikaru race to fnd her, he bumped into Tomoya. According to two of Hikaru's friends, he was a quiet, active and non social person however, he did gave Hikaru a warm welcoming when the two first met after bumping into each other while on his way from the Ginga Shrine. Hikaru found Misuzu at a swing. She revealed that during their second grade, they were playing at the woods but Misuzu got lost and the mad biker chase from yesterday had reflash the memory back. Alien Valky approach the previous mad biker and give him a Dark Dummy Spark and a Spark Doll. Upon seeking out his prey, the biker transformed into Kemur Man before her and chased the terrified girl through an empty school building. Eventually losing her pursuant, Misuzu was granted a brief respite when she bumps into a cop on patrol. However, Kemur Man reappeared behind the unsuspecting policeman, coating him with his teleporting goo. As Kemur Man closed in on Misuzu, he was ambushed by Hikaru with a soccer ball to the head. Frustrated, the alien engaged Hikaru Raido in a one-sided brawl, with Ginga's host getting brutalized by Kemur Man. Upon seeing how Hikaru was in trouble and remembering how he had always been there for her, Misuzu mustered all her courage and assaulted Kemur Man with a mop, subsequently landing a low blow to his crotch that caused the alien to writhe around in agony.
Annoyed and angered beyond his limits, Kemur Man finally grew into his giant form. With Ultraman Taro's timely arrival, Hikaru quickly Ultlived into Thunder Darambia to engage his now colossal foe. However, the Synthetic Monster was no match for Kemur Man's superior agility as his electrical attacks fail to connect. Getting cocky from it, Kemur Man exploited his speed advantage and ridiculed Thunder Darambia by farting into its face and stuffing a tree into its mouth. Deciding to put an end to Kemur Man's crazy antics, Hikaru Ultlived into Ginga. The tables immediately turned against the alien's favor as Ginga's speed far outclassed his own. After being kicked back and forth repeatedly by the warrior of light, Kemur Man was forcefully launched into space. Ginga then took to the skies and exited into space, changing into his Fireball Mode as he charged towards the frantic alien. Despite it's comical attempt to swim away, Kemur Man was ultimately caught by the hero's Ginga Fireball finisher. Reverting back into a Spark Doll, the alien fell back to Earth, landing near his traumatized and burnt biker host. Hikaru and Misuzu reunited as they were watched by Tomoya.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by rastawheel, Jul 16, 2015.
Bummer on the piston.
Ah hell.
I shipped one to Silver Lake, OR. It's waiting for him there. They should be there in 2 days. Turns out there's not much in the way of Apple Stores or AT&T stores in the desert.
I replied with Ray Slocomb's contact info in LaPine, OR. Engines can be rebuilt or replaced, but it's not the sort of thing you do overnight. Sounds like that one is riding home in a trailer.
Very much appreciated!
Love this pic of Trailer Rails and sagebushes as far as the eye can see... this is somewhere between McDermitt, NV and Fields, OR.
No gas station.
I remember someone mentioning this before but don't remember where? They're in Cedarville, CA on their way to Lake View, OR. Said Cedarville was very smokey. There are two fires in about 100 mile radius.
Very cool area. I remember taking Harris Springs road from 89 north to Lava Beds. Very interesting remote area. Watch out for deer.
I made it back to Moab. The BRP is strapped in the back of a 10' box van at the camp ground. I'm sitting in Moab Brewery enjoying some Johnnys. That sucks for me I can't finish what I started, but my 300 XCW will be on a trailer this weekend. Next ride starts Monday. Can't wait to ride dirt bikes in Salida and Crested Butte. Thanks Eric and Nate for bring me a bike.
Do some donuts on the beach when you make it.
I hope you all fill in some of the stories after you are off the bikes and have the time. It sounds like there must have been a lot of fun and hard work. A little bit of despair overcome. Well done! Trailer Rail is a lucky guy to have Trailer Rail's Wife.
That is very sweet of you to say. Thank you.
I can't wait for them to get home so I can hear the stories and see the pictures and the Go Pro videos!
Me too. Men love to take care of their partner but do find it easier to take care of their motorcycle even though it is actually much more difficult.
This just made me belly laugh. I want to cross stitch that sentiment onto a pillow. Trailer Rails is actually a pretty romantic dude in private and a bit more of a tough guy in public. I'm sure this exchange will embarrass the hell out of him. I like it.
I guess we should get back to talking about motorcycles before someone kicks us out of here! I ride a DR350. Thinking about getting an XT250 this winter and Farkeling it all winter! Trailer is getting a WR250R when he gets home!
The ghetto trailer survived the trip out to Denver, with a few minor breaks. First thing we noticed was the spare tire that was mounted to the tongue of the traler was missing at our first gas stop. Then a piece of the fenders was missing at our dinner stop along with the licence plate and light which got sucked into the wheel. Luckily they were still hanging on. A little gorilla tape was used to help hold on the reaming fender.
They were hoping to make it to the Pacific today... rock slides, wildfires and a section labeled "Single Track" that was actually a "No Trail" caused a few detours between Crescent, OR and Glendale, OR.
There will be great stories about today!
Pacific tomorrow!
They made it!
Made it!
We found some homeless dude on 500 and took him under our wings.
We took a lot of the optional Red difficult sections. This was one of them. There has not been a motorcycle back there for years.
Cool pic of me from the homeless dude.

Explore original artwork from the world of Drone.
Red Canyon"Small rectangular structures connected to one another like blocks pushed against the canyon wall. Amidst these blocks stood a tower, four-stories high, dotted with a series of square windows. And the canyon ridge curled above these buildings like a massive wave of rock was about to crash over them."
Jawbone"When I looked up, Jawbone's eyes were directly across from me, waiting. Just as a flash of bright light lingers in the retinas, so did those cold grey eyes. I could still see them watching me even as the boots crossed the room and the door closed heavy behind the man I feared most in the world."
The Veiled Woman"More ancient than the hills and the rocks and the shape of the horizon. It was as if this figure had been spun from the deep black band of the Milky Way. And for a suspended moment, I was outside of myself, floating in a great void of timelessness, knowing that this sight would haunt me for the rest of my life."
The Ojo"Its intricate geometric star pattern kaleidoscoped in a colorful array of reds, blues, oranges and greens. It was small enough to be worn around the neck but our father hung it on his bedroom wall. I had never seen it taken down."
Cassidy"For the first time, I really took in her face. The faint red impression the goggles had left around her eyes, the smudges of soot and dirt and grease on her neck. As the red sun carved its way through an open window, it drew a line of light across her eyes. Swimming in the sea-green of her irises, I could see there were small flecks of flickering gold."
The Crash Site"The shadow I had seen wavering in the sun was not a shadow at all but a black spiral of smoke twisting from the ground. Something out there, in the middle of this empty wilderness, was on fire."
The Design"As the distance between the two of us got smaller, I couldn't shake the feeling that my question hadn't been fully answered. If I could picture the Design and flying and swimming and palaces in paradise, why couldn't I picture other things, other people."
Opal"We could see her through the doorframe, pulling down pots and pans from unseen shelves. Her movements were slow but precise as she tipped an urn into another urn, took a powder down from somewhere above. Her hands moved across the table in a fluid dance of lifts and pulls, but there was a purpose to every pinch, every stir."
Gilead"I had never approached Gilead from such an odd angle. Though the city was perfectly symmetrical, it now appeared foreign to me, the buildings sharper, the spotless streets unsettlingly stark white amidst the dark brown dust of the valley. It looked bleak. Ominous even."
Owl"I remember thinking that there was something wrong
with the old man, that he had a condition only familiar to me in history class. Back in the days long before the Code, people used several words to describe them. Insane, lunatic, deranged. We weren't allowed to use any of those words but "crazy" was secretly my favorite. Owl was crazy, I thought."
Malachi Code"You have kept the promise you made to your ideals: that the Code does not exist if it can be altered. That the Code is the only Code."
BlindfoldedI stopped and watched as Cassidy continued to walk ahead of me. If it were Marcus, at some point he would turn around just to see if I was still standing there and, eventually, he would probably walk back to me. But not Cassidy. No, she just kept walking. So I jogged up to her to deliver what I thought would be a devastating remark.
"I don't get you."
Samah O'Lo"But there was one statue whose features were more haunting than the rest. It was the only statue that had its eyes closed and no mouth. In the outstretched palm of the statue was etched the letter W."
Three E.D.sThe three robots started walking towards me. Marcus and I didn't say a word, unsure if the E.D.s recognized us. Of course, if we had passed Summons, they would have known everything about us. Before Summons, they could have only known that we were juvenile humans. Still, could they not see us? Could they not speak to us? The closest E.D. stepped up to me and reached down for the cube. Contrary to the obedience I should have shown, I backed away.
The Cow HutCassidy led us through the craggy streets of Red Canyon, down several dusty passageways until we stood in front a stout clay hut. Carved deep into the flat surface above the door was the crude image of a cow skull.
"This will be your home for now," she said as she threw her weight against the hut's wooden door. "Welcome to the Cow Hut."
Sign of the Watcher"Our father was a Watcher, one of the last human Watchers in the country, or so he told us. I didn't know anything about it, other than the little information I had pieced together over the years, but apparently our father made sure that the land near our home was kept safe. Safe from what, I had no idea. It didn't seem like an important job to me. Nothing ever happened in this wasteland. Until now, that is."
Sign of the Reader"Of the two Gilead parents, Palmera had always held my greatest respect and admiration. She was a prominent Reader who helped teach and interpret the Code to others. In a world where the robots provided us everything, being a Reader was essentially the only profession that really mattered."

Where in the world are you?
It's far nicer (and easier) when things are in your own language.Right now, we speak a few, but we're learning more all the time…

If you want a small, adjustable wall light that'll give your space an up-to-date feel, then Keats might be the one. You can change it's angle in two places so the light will shine exactly where you want it - perfect for reading and task lighting. The nickel finish and glass shade give a contemporary feel.
Keats' nickel finish is a warmer alternative to chrome, making it easier to use in less modern spaces. It's also corrosion resistant, in case you want to use it in a bathroom.
The toggle detail at each of the joints gives Keats its hint of industrial style. They're also functional – they're what you turn to adjust the arm. The simple backplate and straight-lined shade keep the design timeless though.
It's best that a qualified electrician fits this light – it's designed to be wired in, and doesn't have a switch as part of its design.
If you want to use this light in a bathroom, just make sure it's more than 60cm away from the water. Any closer, and you'll need to use an IP44-rated light (like our Brunswick).

WASHINGTON - Al Jefferson had his third double-double of the season with 26 points and 10 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets rolled to an easy 113-88 victory over the winless Philadelphia 76ers in the National Basketball Association on Friday.
He scored 14 of his points in the first quarter as the Hornets jumped on the Sixers quickly and never trailed. He had 18 by half-time, then sat and watched much of the second half with the Hornets comfortably ahead.
Highlights of other NBA games:
Celtics 120 Nets 95: Boston's Avery Bradley reached double figures for the fourth straight game, finishing with a game-high 21 points off the bench to power the Celtics to a 120-95 rout of the Brooklyn Nets at TD Garden.
The guard has scored 18 or more points in each of his last three games, averaging 20 during that span. Bradley now has five outings with 18 points or more in November.
Pelicans 104 Spurs 90: Ryan Anderson scored a game-high 30 points and Anthony Davis added 20 and 18 rebounds to power the New Orleans Pelicans to a 104-90 upset victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Smoothie King Center.
The victory was only the second in 13 games for the injury-riddled Pelicans and it snapped the Spurs' six-game winning streak.
Pistons 96 Timberwolves 86: Andre Drummond scored 21 points and added 11 rebounds as the Detroit Pistons erased a second-half deficit in a 96-86 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center.
Drummond, who was limited to four points in the first half, scored 15 points in the third quarter alone as the Pistons finished the frame on a 21-11 run, turning a seven-point deficit into a three-point lead heading into the fourth.
Grizzles 96 Rockets 84: Memphis point guard Mike Conley scored a game-high 26 points and Marc Gasol had 16, 11 assists and 11 rebounds as the Grizzlies defeated the Houston Rockets 96-84 at FedExForum.
The Grizzlies (7-6) have won four straight.
Knicks 93 Thunder 90: Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points to lead the New York Knicks to a 93-90 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Center.
Anthony made nine of 20 shots from the field and grabbed five rebounds. Arron Afflalo scored 14 points for New York and Lance Thomas came off to bench to score 12.
Mavericks 102 Jazz 93: Dallas won their sixth straight on Friday, beating the Utah Jazz 102-93 at the American Airlines Center.

Terry needed help accessing his medication and wasn't sure where to go.
"My advice to people who are going through these things like I've been through is not to lose hope, but to explore all their options," says Terry.
After researching his options, he learned about Pfizer RxPathways®, which connects eligible patients to Pfizer and industry programs that offer insurance support, co-pay assistance, medicines for free or at a savings, and more. Pfizer RxPathways connected Terry to assistance, and he's grateful Pfizer was able to help him.
"I just couldn't believe it," Terry says. "It was just an awesome feeling to know that there was somebody, a company as huge as Pfizer, helping a little person here in North Carolina like me."
To learn more about how Pfizer RxPathways connects eligible patients to a range of assistance programs, and to find out if you or a loved one may qualify, visit www.PfizerRxPathways.com.

Bridgend Council's Cabinet is set to sign the BCBC up to the TUC's "Dying to Work Charter" – which has been drafted to protect the rights of terminally-ill employees (pdf).
While the report says BCBC staff with a diagnosis of terminal illness are "treated with dignity and respect", the Charter will require BCBC to make some changes, including:
- A specific statement within the council's sickness and absence procedures that no employee with a terminal diagnosis will be dismissed because of their condition.
- Provide confidential advice and support – counselling and financial advice – to employees who've received a terminal diagnosis; something BCBC says they already do.
- Provide training to line managers and HR staff on how to deal with terminally-ill staff – again, something BCBC says they already do.
- Notify all employees that BCBC will commit the contents of the Charter.

Ebb and flow is nature of the staffing industry. When demand for services goes up, agencies need cash flow to fund temp agency payroll and fill positions quickly. When it drops, they also need working capital to be available to shore up operations when demand rebounds.
Whether you're starting your own staffing agency or looking to expand your existing agency, you can't afford to have a gap in cash flow. If you do, you might want to consider alternative financing options to fund your temp agency payroll.
Do you need help maintaining adequate cash flow to meet your temp agency payroll and keep up with client demand? While there are a number of financing options, here are three popular sources of temp agency payroll funding.
Open a line of credit
If your staffing agency has good credit and a track record of success, you likely have the collateral to secure a line of credit from a bank to fund your temp agency payroll. Ask other businesses in your community for recommendations of lenders or look online to see which lenders work with staffing agencies on their financing options for temp agency payroll. Opening a line of credit can provide you the flexibility you need to support your temp agency payroll as demand for services shifts up or down.
Starting your own staffing agency? Having a strong line of credit starting out can help you build a competitive talent pool by ensuring that our staff is always paid on time, even if you're waiting on funds from a client.
Hire a factoring partner
Finance factoring is a short-term lending option for businesses with a lot of variation in their cash flow. There are companies that specialize in finance factoring services that can provide short-term loans to support your temp agency payroll based on anticipated earnings and invoices. You receive money as soon as you have a contract, so employees don't wait months to be paid. In addition, many factoring lenders will monitor the creditworthiness of your customers and notify you about suspicious activity, helping you escape financial losses.
Work with nontraditional lenders
Traditional lending groups might be hesitant to work with your staffing agency if you don't have a lot of experience. If you're new to the industry, your best sources of temp agency payroll financing could banks and lenders that accept nontraditional collateral. Ask around to find reliable lenders who will accept collateral such as accounts receivables in place of credit.

Used Ghibli
Ghibli Range
The executive class is so hotly contested that entering it without a diesel is like turning up at a gunfight with a knife.
Fortunately Maserati's suave and appealing four-door now has diesel firepower of its own to complement its standout looks and sensuous craftsmanship.
Even with the addition of a diesel powertrain to the range, a Maserati Ghibli will remain a rare sight. And that's just how Ghibli owners like it. Not for them the ubiquitous three-pointed star, four interlocking rings or blue and white propeller badges. Instead they get an Italian thoroughbred with that evocative trident badge whose distinctive features include a snarling grille flanked by Bi-Xenon headlights, together with a sensual profile, tapering waistline and muscular rear haunches.
Inside, you're greeted by a spacious, elegantly-arranged interior where the driver and front passenger are separated by a raised console, creating a cockpit-like ambience. The dash features a large, 8.4" touchscreen while the driver's field of vision includes a three-spoke, leather-clad steering wheel and hooded, twin-binnacle instrument panel with a TFT display. The soft leather used for the seating can also extend to the dashboard and doors for a sense of cosseting luxury, with the option of a two-tone finish and contrast stitching. Whether you're driving or relaxing in one of the passenger seats, the inside of a Ghibli is packed with the feel-good factor.
With the GranLusso, the style is focused on luxury. With the GranSport, it's more about engaging driving dynamics.
Please activate it to see the virtual tour.
The Ghibli Diesel is the first diesel-powered car in Maserati's 101-year history, and the company's engineers have managed to combine efficiency and performance with a touch of Italian soul. The standard 0-62mph dash takes just 6.3 seconds, yet it also achieves 47.9mpg on the combined cycle, with emissions of 158 g/km. For business car drivers, those figures will be enough to put the Ghibli on the shortlist.
The 275HP 3-litre diesel V6 is mated to an eight-speed ZF transmission for smooth, seamless shifts, with a choice of five transmission modes from Auto Normal to Manual Sport. Features like Stop&Start help keep emissions and fuel consumption down while the Maserati Active Sound exhaust ensures aural entertainment at a touch of the Sport button.
Other executive class diesels might shade the Ghibli by a fraction on mpg or emissions figures, yet none can match its combination of efficiency, distinction and charisma. For many owners, that will prove to be the clinching argument.
Top Speed155 MPH
0-60 MPH6.3s
Max Power275 BHP
Engine Size2987 CC
Weight1745 KG
New Maserati Ghibli Diesel prices start from £54,800, with GranLusso and GranSport models from £62,300. This is the manufacturer's on the road price (OTR) including VAT, Road Tax and Registration as of February 2020, please call us to discuss options.
H.R. Owen have a wide range of used Maserati cars as well as the full range of new Maserati models. Please make an enquiry regarding any models you are interested in test driving or learning more about.
There's one quality every Ghibli has plenty of, and that's style. Those sleek and muscular lines bring a hint of Maserati's legendary sports racers and grand tourers to the executive class. But now the Ribelle Limited Edition ups the ante with a package of mean and moody styling tweaks to make it even more distinctive, at an appealing package price for the 275hp diesel model.
Let's start with the exterior, shall we? That's what you'll notice along with half the population of your neighbourhood. To mis-quote Henry Ford, you can have any colour you like as long as it's Nero Ribelle, a lustrous mica black paint finish. Take a close look at the 19" Proteo Rosso alloy wheels and you'll see amid the predominant black finish that there are five single spokes with a red pinstripe, matching the red brake callipers you can see beyond them. Like the flash of a bright lining material on a Milanese bespoke suit, the subtle touch of red simply accentuates the moody black theme.
Inside, all Ribelle models feature a numbered limited-edition plate on the centre console, with Piano Black trim, Sport steering wheel, gearchange paddles and electric steering wheel adjustment. Then you're faced with a choice, between the normal black leather sports seats with red stitching, or the premium leather option which features sports seats in two-tone black and red.
Choose the first option of the normal seats with contrast red stitching and the total package price adds £5000 to the price of a Ghibli Essence. Opt for the more opulent premium leather with two-tone sorts seats in black and red, and the price goes up a further £500 to £5,500. Either way you're getting the prestige of a limited edition with multiple additional features for less than it would cost to specify the individual items.
The Ribelle limited edition package is available for the 275hp V6 diesel model, with 0-62mph acceleration in 6.3 seconds, 47.9mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 158 g/km. It comes as standard with seven airbags, the Maserati Stability System and the 8.4" Maserati Touch Control Plus (MTC+) unit, a state-of-the-art system that features both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® mirroring functions.

Senior Nutrition
Know the important role balanced nutrition plays in a healthy life.
A healthy, balanced diet is important for people of all ages, including seniors. Receiving proper nutrition enhances the vitality and overall well-being of seniors, making for a happier, more enjoyable life. On the other hand, poor nutrition weakens seniors, leaving them vulnerable to illness and other maladies. You can help keep your loved ones feeling their best by ensuring that they receive a balanced diet, rich with nutrients. Comfort Keepers® caregivers can also assist with nutritional needs, from grocery shopping to meal preparation. This is a great way to help aid seniors in getting the proper nutrition they need.
Healthy eating is good medicine
Maintaining an appetite and eating nutrient-rich meals can be a challenge for many seniors. With the assistance of caregivers, we can help make sure your loved ones receive the best nutrition possible.
Using our Interactive Caregiving™ approach, we encourage socialization at meal time. This may include assisting the senior with food preparation alongside the caregiver, or sitting down and sharing a meal together. By creating socialization around the meal, there is a better chance of stimulating the appetite, as well as fulfilling mental and emotional needs. We find that seniors delight in sharing mealtime with another person, rather than being alone. This also helps strengthen the bond between caregiver and client.
There are many important benefits of good nutrition, including:
- Improved energy
- Stronger sense of wellness
- Strengthened immunity
- Sharpened mental focus
- Stronger physical body, including bones and muscles
- Better cardiovascular health
- Improved weight control, digestion and regularity
- Reduced incidence of mood swings and depression
- ... and many, many more.
Your dedicated caregiver will be as vigilant as possible in making sure you or your loved ones are not only eating enough, but getting the proper nutrition needed to remain healthy and strong. By being observant, our caregivers may be able to help prevent possible nutritional deficits before they threaten overall health and well-being.

#S15 Join, or Die sticker
One of the most prevalent — and effective — tactics against social justice movements is to divide them, and let the factions turn on each other. Animal advocates are challenging the most powerful and wealthy industries on the planet. This sticker (with the acronyms for a wide range of animal protection groups) is a reminder to focus on positive activism, rather than differences and disagreements with other activists.

For instance, if you have an older Mac that has had hardware problems, you could install its old startup drive in an external enclosure and connect the enclosure to your new Mac via USB or Thunderbolt. User data can also be moved from a PC to a new Mac via a network connection.
How to move your content to a new Mac
Migration Assistant can't copy PC applications, but your user data, such as documents, pictures, and movies, can all be migrated from a PC to your new Mac. Migration Assistant can transfer any user account type from the source Mac to the destination Mac. It can also transfer applications, user data, other files and folders, and computer and network settings.
This guide will show you, in detail, the steps to move your user account data from an older Mac to a new Mac connected via your home or office network. This same method, with just slight changes to button and menu names, can also be used to copy an account from a startup drive connected directly to the new Mac, or from Macs connected via FireWire or Thunderbolt cable.
Using the Migration Assistant app that comes with OS X is relatively painless; the version included with OS X Yosemite contains a few improvements over previous versions to make the process even easier. In this guide, we're going to use the Migration Assistant to copy our user and application data from an older Mac to a Mac we just recently purchased. This is the most likely reason to use the Migration Assistant, but there are other reasons to use it, including copying your user data to a clean install of OS X.
The major difference between the two uses of the Migration Assistant is the source of the data. In the first case, you're likely copying files from an older Mac that's connected to your home or office network. In the second, you're probably copying files from a startup drive connected to your current Mac. Otherwise, the two methods are pretty much the same. Go on to Page Three for information on how to use the list of items that can be transferred, and to complete the transfer process. In the previous steps, you launched Migration Assistant on both your old and new Macs and set up the assistant to transfer files from the old Mac to the new Mac.
You verified that the two Macs are in communication by matching a code number generated by the Migration Assistant app, and you're now waiting while your new Mac begins gathering information from your old Mac about the type of data that can transfer between them. This process can take a bit of time, so be patient. Eventually, your new Mac will display a list of items that can be migrated to it. All applications installed in the Applications folder on your old Mac can be transferred over to your new Mac.
If an application exists on both the old and new Macs, the newest version will be retained. You can only bring over all applications or none; you can't pick and choose apps. User Accounts: This is likely the main reason you wanted to bring data from your old Mac to your new Mac. All of your documents, music, movies, and pictures are stored in your user account. The Migration Assistant allows you to copy or ignore each of the following user account folders:. The other data item is essentially any files or folders you created within your user account, but are not within any of the special folders named above.
Other Files and Folders: Files and folders refer to items that reside at the top level of the old Mac's startup drive. Selecting this option will ensure that any non-Mac apps you may have installed are also brought over to your new Mac. Computers and Network Settings: This allows Migration Assistant to bring settings information from your old Mac to your new Mac.
This includes such things as your Mac's name, and network setup and preferences. Migration Assistant can now resolve user account duplication problems that have been an issue in the past. With previous versions of Migration Assistant, you couldn't copy a user account to your new Mac if that user account name was already present on the new Mac.
How To Perform a Manual Mac System Migration [MacRx] | Cult of Mac
This often happened during the OS X setup process on the new Mac, during which you were asked to create an administrator account. Like many of us, you probably picked the same account name you were using on your old Mac. When it came time to migrate data from the old Mac, Migration Assistant would throw up its hands and say that it couldn't copy the data over because the user account already existed.
Luckily for us, the Migration Assistant now provides two methods for resolving user account duplication problems.
- windows 7 bootable usb mac os x;
- image resize and watermark mac;
- autocad mac print black and white!
If Migration Assistant determines there will be an account duplication problem, the user account name in the transfer list will include red warning text that says:. External Drive: This is especially handy for anyone who bought a new Mac because their old one had failed in some way; perhaps unable to boot.
As long as the startup drive is in good shape, you could move the drive to an external enclosure and migrate the data from there. Preparing Your Old Mac There are a few preliminary tasks to perform that will make using Migration Assistant easier and quicker. Start by making sure the Mac OS installed on the old Mac is up to date.
You can update using the Mac App Store or download updates directly from the Apple support site.
How To Perform a Manual Mac System Migration [MacRx]
You may want to consider slimming down the data on the old Mac. The Migration Assistant is automatically available as an option when you first start up your new Mac. It also gives me the chance to create a pristine backup of the new Mac, so I can always return to the fresh-out-of-the-box state, should I need to. The Migration Assistant can transfer data from a number of sources including your old Mac, a Time Machine backup, an external drive, and even a Windows PC.
The Migration Assistant will warn you that it needs to be the sole app running, and that it will quit all other apps on your Mac.
Macworld Categories
Save any open documents, and then click the Continue button when ready. When ready, click Continue. The Migration Assistant will start searching for other devices that it can transfer data from. Migration Assistant On a New Mac After a minute or so, your old Mac should appear as a choice for the source of migrating data.
Select the old Mac from the list more than likely, your old Mac will be the only item listed , and then click Continue. The Migration Assistant will display a verification code. Go to the older Mac and make sure the same verification code is displayed. If so, click the Continue button on the old Mac.
At this point, the two Macs will start the preliminary transfer operation. The old Mac will send a list of users and the type of data they have stored on the old Mac. On the new Mac, you should see the Migration Assistant displaying a number of items that can be transferred. They should include:. You can place a checkmark next to the items you wish to have transferred. Some items have a disclosure triangle that allows you to select from subcategories of items to transfer.
You can use the disclosure triangles to refine your selection of information to transfer. About Conflicts You may notice a yellow warning flag saying that some conflicts were detected. This usually occurs when one or more user accounts on the old Mac have the same name as a user account on the new Mac.
In older versions of Migration Assistant, you need to halt the process and correct the problem by renaming or deleting user accounts on the Macs. Thankfully, the newer version of Migration Assistant can fix this issue for you. Go ahead and make your selections about which data will be copied over, then click the Continue button. If there are any conflicts, a sheet will drop down, displaying ways to eliminate the conflicts.

The solutions are either to delete the existing user account on the new Mac and replace it with the old one, or to keep both and give the old user account a new name. Make your choice and click Continue. Transfer times are usually quite long, though it depends on both the amount of data and the speed of the connection. Finish Up the Transfer The transfer will start. When the Migration Assistant has completed the transfer, your Mac will log off all users and present the normal login screen.

It can also transfer files from a Time Machine backup or an external clone drive. Better still, make a bootable clone of the startup disk. Using Migration Assistant is very easy, but there are a few things to check and prepare before you get started. The next step is to connect the Macs to each other. There are number of options for this. If both Macs are running macOS Sierra or later, you can just place them next to each other and make sure WiFi is switched on both machines.
Clever, huh? And any Firewire cable can be used to connect Firewire-to-Firewire. The old Mac will now mount as a disk volume on the new Mac. If you did, you can skip them. Likewise, if you wanted to migrate from a Time Machine Backup or cloned drive, you would give these four steps a miss.

We're not talking about wild boars here! We're talking about one of the most sought–after freshwater game fish here in the Heartland, the Largemouth Bass. Micropterus Salmoides Floridanus, or as it is affectionately called by many hard core bass anglers, the "Bucketmouth"! After looking at this one Louie caught back in April 2011, out of the Heartland's Lake Josephine, just two ounces shy of thirteen pounds; it's easy to see where it got that name.
Springtime in the Heartland is just around the corner and is without a doubt, the best time of year to target these monsters. As the water is warming, they will begin to move toward shallow water to prepare to spawn. Bass spawning in this part of Florida usually occurs in late February and right through April. Here's a thirteen pound, four ounce beauty he got in March of 2009.
Louie nailed this one while learning how to "walk the dog" with a Rapala Skitterwalk. It's a very effective way to fish a top-water lure and really aggravate these monsters into striking. We love to fish the top-water baits in the spring just to see those heart stopping blow-ups by these incredible fish.
The really big fish are preparing themselves for a month or so of guarding their nests. That's a month or so of intense fighting with everything from turtles, crawfish, and all types of other fish, as all of these things and more, try to steal their eggs. It's also a month or so of very few opportunities to eat. So, during this pre-spawn period, they have ravenous appetites, and if you throw something in their vicinity that resembles food, and you present it just right, they will usually eat it.
The key is to get in the right area, where these fish spawn year after year and cover as much of the surrounding water as possible. They like sandy, gravely areas, sometimes in as little as a foot of water. This eleven pound, nine ounce "Hawg" inhaled a floating, chartreuse soft plastic snake, in water about that deep in another of the Heartland's lakes.
Here are just a few more Spring-time beauties that are out there just waiting for a chance to pose for a photo with you.
Above all else…please be safe and practice "catch and release" of these magnificent fish. Louie and I call them the breeding stock. They are the future of Largemouth Bass fishing here in the Heartland. Handle them carefully. If you want a wall mount, a few good photos, length and girth measurements, is all your favorite Taxidermist needs to make you a great fiberglass reproduction to hang above your mantel.
To see many more of Louie's trophy bass, "like" his Facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/FishingTheHighlands, then go to the photos section and click on the folder titled: "Lunker Louie" aka: The Train: Bass Photos.
Now grab your pole, get out there and enjoy some Springtime Heartland Hawg hunting. Times a wastin'…….Keep those lines tight and good luck!

Ellen Biddle Shipman; The Beginnings of a Legacy
Ellen Biddle Shipman was a pioneer for women in the industry of landscaping.
Natural beauty and man-made elegance come together as one at Wildwood Preserve, the most visited of the Metroparks. The 493-acre park is the former estate of Toledo's Stranahan family. Surrounded by natural habit, the stately home, now called the Manor House, played important roles in Toledo—and the park district's—history.
Built in 1938 by Champion Spark Plug magnate Robert Stranahan, the Manor House and the estate were purchased by Metroparks in 1975 following a vigorous citizens' initiative to preserve the property, which was destined to become a housing development. The house, crafted in a Georgian colonial style, is open for free tours and decorated for the holidays, while portions of the home and other buildings serve as Metroparks administrative offices.
The main attraction at Wildwood is the system of trails that traverse varied terrain (a treat in the flatlands of northwest Ohio). The park is bisected by the Ottawa River and has sandy soil indicative of the rare Oak Openings Region.
The prairie community at Wildwood is home to many diverse and fascinating plants and animals. In the spring, it is a breeding site for ground-nesting birds such as rufous-sided towhees, field sparrows and American woodcock. Summer brings a spectacular display of prairie wildflowers and grasses, such as rough blazing star, big bluestem and Indian grasses, some reaching 10 feet high.

NOTE: An article I wrote for a personal project when I was 15, but never bothered to complete or share.
The hype was fuelled in 1995. Aside from Bill Clinton's presidency, the OJ Simpson trials, James Bond's return to Hollywood, the world of independent film would be introduced to the cinematic prodigy Harmony Korine, who as a young teenager was discovered by photographer Larry Clark whilst skating in Washington Square Park. At this point, the auteur had just dropped out of Tisch School of the Arts at New York University (NYU) in hopes to make a living off of professional skateboarding. Following the footsteps of former, ambitious creatives, structured academia appeared limiting to his creative abilities. Clark acknowledging this sentiment and impressed by his visions of pushing the boundaries of cinema requested Korine pen a script to display his talent as an aspiring screenwriter and director. The result of this demand was a cult classic film about the dangers of promiscuity, AIDS, and grungy teenaged delinquents. The cult classic was named Kids. Through the release of Kids, Korine managed to grab the attention of prominent individuals within the industry. Praised by legendary film critic Roger Ebert, and directors like Gus Van Sant and Werner Herzog, it was clear that the young skater would be an auteur in the making; however, much like current hipster credentials lacking in social agency, influential praise would not be enough to please general audiences, most of whom were disgusted by the film's "shallow" depiction of 90s youth culture. Labeled as child pornography by outraged parents and mainstream media news outlets, the film was labeled a raunchy NC-17 by the MPAA. Contrary to adult efforts to limit the screening of the film, it had grossed $7 million dollars through the summer of 1995, encouraging CNN to place efforts in making clear that it's growing success with youth could be a 'poisonous attack' on teenaged social culture.
Following the rise of Kids, Korine was offered $1 million dollars of production budget to direct his first and own film Gummo (1997) - a movie depicting the mundanity and depravity of the lives of people living in Xenia, Ohio, a town within America left in the shambles of the aftermath of a tornado storm in the 1970s. Once again, the film was a visual portrayal of the extreme and obscure lifestyle of the hidden and unheard sociocultural minorities of youth culture within America. The film could be described and on many occasions has been described as an emblem of "white trash" cinema and culture. Which it is important to note, that the term "white trash" may lend itself to carrying the weight of negative connotations and that such common description and perception of what is definitive of Korine's work acts as a potential propagator of the extreme, binary criticism of loving or hating his filmography as an observer of art. In debuting as his first film, and his second cinematic project, the screening, and viewership of Gummo introduced the cinematic community to stylistic choices of filmmaking that essentially led to an acknowledgment of Korine as auteur filmmaker. Here was a director who created cinema with the autonomy of a novelist. Here was a director who created cinema with a highly-monitored and controlled execution of the personal vision. Yet here was a director whose fascination with the world was driven by a curiosity of the neglected aspects of society. Who were the people that nobody wanted to see? Who were the people that nobody wanted to listen to? Most importantly, what are the human behaviors that repulse the masses, and why are we willing to neglect and suppress an investigation of vice-ridden decadence. Thus, whilst his unconventional approach to filmmaking and the absurdity of the subject matter he depicted was offputting on a mainstream level, his cultic status was derivative of his controversial originality. Perhaps, it is not a matter of personal tastes or aesthetics, but a matter of the social symptom and influence of an auteur's filmography.
Described as "the most hated man in art-house cinema", a "winning freak show ring leader", what are we to make of Harmony Korine and his notorious style of provocateur filmmaking? What are we to make of the regressive debauchery, as hipster credentials are supposedly an invalidation of his depiction of decline and degeneracy? Inevitably, his investigation of the polarizing nature of youth and adulthood, virtue and sin, appears to be discursively limited to hipster credentials or overbearing commentary from pretentious cinephiles and film studies academics, but it appears that his artistic liberty is suppressed by forces of both "high" and "low" art. It appears that his work has suffocated in being appreciated by what can be considered a "niche" to both casual moviegoers and hardcore film buffs alike, and I'd like to step aside and question: who is Harmony Korine as an auteur, and how can we better understand the binary state of the critical reception of his filmography throughout the last two decades? The common threat to his artistic liberty is that he drops the eccentricities or quits film-making all together, and while no one is forcing anyone to watch anything made by the auteur since when has it been okay to say the words "stop" or "no" in art? Love him or hate him, he seems the type to want to continue expressing his vision through a visual manifestation of his life experiences and a community of outcasts he assumingly identifies with or is enticed by. It's been two decades since his cinematic prime, and though his name is scarcely mentioned, Korine still manages to maintain his "niche" and dedicated fanbase of film enthusiasts, artistic outcasts, and all sorts of other people enticed by the madness and chaotic depiction of youth culture in his films.

Intro Spyfu Pricing Plans
SpyFu is one of the more feature rich tools, but has the Least appealing interface on the market. SpyFu provides SEO and PPC spy application options . Spyfu Pricing Plans
Click here to sign up to Spyfu!
Keyword User and Search Experience
The SpyFu dashboard is laid out using a navigation bar across the top with tabs for SEO Research, PPC Research, Keyword Research, Backlinks, the List Builder, Tracking, and Reports. There is plenty SpyFu can perform throughout the spectrum of SEO tooling, but with this review we are focusing mostly on its own ad hoc keyword research capabilities. When a company is looking to identifying the best possible search engine results pages (SERP) to target with an optimization plan, keyword-driven analysis is the legwork to get pages to rank higher. Direction capabilities and recommendations are built in during SpyFu, but I began in the Keyword Research tab.
When I used the Exact Same set of five Keywords to see outcomes differed between each of my competitors. Were IT consultant , digital advertising, online shopping, pcmag, and small business bookkeeping. I chose this combination to simulate real world terms that businesses might hunt for (such as publishers like PCMag) as well as to discover associated search results and vulnerable competitor sites.
After conducting searches in my five test terms, I found that SpyFu creates and structures its keyword benefits and metrics somewhat differently than Moz Guru, KWFinder, or Ahrefs$82.00 in Ahrefs. As opposed to populating a table of associated key words with Page Authority (PA) and Domain Name Authority (DA) metrics along with stats on cost per click (CPC) and key word difficulty, SpyFu draws a far more obvious correlation with exactly how much cash a keyword is worth. After searching"digital advertising," for instance, another navigation bar appeared across the top of the results page further breaking down the search results. You can then drill down to keyword overview, related keywords, advertiser history, status background, traffic, key word group, and SERP analysis. That is only for one key word showing SpyFu does the most granular investigation into data of all the tools I tested.
Atop the main results, SpyFu gave me not only CPC for the Key word, however a daily and monthly cost breakdown in addition to the number of unique advertisers had emerged on the key word in the past year. I received the exact same level of cost breakdown when I clicked on the Associated Keyword, which also enabled me to narrow results employing a left-hand filter menu to a particular cost every day, daily search volume, difficulty score, and more.
At the bottom of the results that are keyword was that the SERP analysis. This broke down every URL in the search results page, even however KWFinder and Moz Guru equally provide a much more detailed breakdown in this respect. SpyFu focuses. Results like the Advertiser History graph, a long list and complicated diagram of the advertisements appearing on this search page as time passes, was somewhat too in the weeds for me as a newcomer SEO tool user. But for digital entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, SpyFu is a gold mine. Spyfu Pricing Plans
SpyFu Kombat
With SpyFu Kombat you can look at overlapping and site key words For up to 3 sites. For the PPC version you can also find a graph which goes over a period of a few years showing the general number of keywords being bid on by all 3 sites. You may also rollover the chart to see key words specific to just 2 of those sites if you are feeling the 3rd site may not be doing as great a job (or vice versa) as 2 of the other websites. It is going to also show you the PPC budgets of the sites in addition to the amount of organic keywords rank in the top 50 results for said keyword.
When you click an area of the circle graph it will show you the Keywords in whatever bucket you click. It is possible to see and download those key words for your use. As you can see I am on the ads tab but the options are similar when you click on the natural tab (on the top box, the organic one on the underside shows you total organic keywords).
Switching between the organic tab and the ppc tab (as well as the Overall # of organic keywords + PPC ad budget must also give you a good notion of which of the larger sites are more into the PPC or SEO side of things that may be a fantastic barometer to look at if you happen to be concentrating on one place on the other hand.
SpyFu Classic
SpyFu Classic is the"flagship" segment in order to speak. This is Where you enter one domain name on the home page and also are presented with a TON of data including:
– Daily AdWords PPC Budget

Keyword Management and Reports
Keyword direction is baked in to SpyFu through the platform. Within all its three major research tabs–SEO, PPC, and Keyword–you will find options from the drop-down menus for SEO and PPC-specific keywords, and Keyword Groups. The Keyword Groups attributes in each tab are rather similar, populating a table using minimal search volume, CPC, difficulty rating, and monthly cost. All these are SpyFu's four main metrics where key word research is worried. On the left of the table are either the key words you've researched and booted yourself, or high keyword group tips from SpyFu. At the top right of the table you can subsequently add chosen keywords to lists, or export your selected keyword as an Microsoft Excel file, CSV, or PDF. This basic keyword grouping functionality is similar to SEMrush$99.95 in SEMrush and executed better in Moz Professional and KWFinder.
Where SpyFu's key word management abilities really stand Out are at its List Builder and Tracking tabs. This is also where SpyFu makes its deep link between SEO and customer relationship management (CRM). From the List Builder tab, there's a Best Lists segment with targeted lists of domain names and key words like"Assets Which Spend the Most On AdWords," keywords with the maximum CPC. There's also a listing of the most expensive keywords, which you can then filter by state, industry, or a particular web-based technology: Ad buying platform, affiliate marketing, email marketing, and online shopping cart are some of the choices.
Next to Leading Lists, there's a dedicated Business Leads tab. This essentially acts exactly the exact same way as a search: You enter businesses and keywords, a location, and refine outcomes using filters like AdWords budget and SEO clicks. The research then returns a list of URL leads with this site's monthly ad budget and contact information that can be exported to your CRM or lead management system. I'd like to view SpyFu proceed a step farther with this and incorporate its own SEO lead lists straight using a platform such as Salesforce$75.00 in salesforce.com, but the tool is already ahead of the curve. SEMrush includes a beta generation tool, but that's the closest any optimization merchandise I tested comes to what SpyFu offers.
But, SpyFu incorporated AdWords Templates as Part of a Google AdWords campaign. The templates consist of prewritten ads for groups that are key word in countless industries. The templates can be downloaded by users in the SpyFu site and then upload to an AdWords account.
The system also includes SEO campaign management With its SpyFu Project Manager tool. SpyFu made this as a project management(PM) feature inside the SEO platform for tackling integrated keyword research and rank monitoring in a campaign. My SpyFu is only available in paid programs (not the free trial), but it lets you set up multiple jobs tracking grouped keywords plotted against SEO rank, traffic value, ROI, and numerous other metrics. All you have to do is open the My SpyFu menu and include a new job. It is the only and greatest case in this roundup of built-in, SEO-focused PM.
There is also Keywords you've identified and begin tracking that reports back with weekly domain positions and keyword ranking changes. I was also able to set up custom SEO reports in a few simple measures: Enter a domain name and choose whether or not to run a report on SpyFu's suggested custom key words or domain key words. I entered my five habit key words in a field, picked up to five competitors' URLs, and then was given the choice to run either a one-off report or a recurring monthly report.
That Type of analysis that is competitive is another area where SpyFu stands out, since it also includes a tool called"Kombat" that's available from the SEO and PPC Research tabs. In Kombat, I typed in the domain of PCMag and the instrument built an interactive information visualization that showed where PCMag keywords overlapped with our competitors. There is also what SpyFu calls for a"keyword universe," listing CPC, CTR, monthly cost, and monthly clicks for core keywords and recommended keywords. This research breakdown is another feature which will help ways to acquire an SEO edge. Spyfu Pricing Plans
Along with the SEO functionality of its product, SpyFu has introduced a research tool named Nacho Analytics, which offers access to the web analytics of other websites. Through this stage, you can see time-of-day traffic segments, and behavior that is on-page.
Keyword Ad History
Advertisement History will show you, via coded bars often the Key words appeared in a domain's PPC campaign alongside any changes in the advertisement copy (all of which can be exported to excel). It extends back to 2006 through the Bonus History Button and reveals that a year's worth of information up front.
So it is fairly straightforward, and that's exactly what I like about SpyFu Tools. No over-reliance on"in-house metrics" it is only"here's the advertisement history of the keyword", plain and simple. If you find a key word being advertised on by a PPC advertiser that is fantastic persistent then you can look to employ that ad copy technique to some market of that keyword that is bigger. If I had been advertising for"resorts in Oklahoma" I might pay attention to that which ad copy was successful, over time, for that main/core key word"resorts".
Domain Advertisement History
Except it shows the domain Ad History Is like Keyword Ad History Keyword history of a particular domain.
This tool is useful in looking Your opponents (or larger players on your niche) and which ones they tried and left (which could be ones that you avoid from the gate). All this presumes the domain you are currently researching is capable PPC advertiser.
Keyword Smart Search
The Keyword Smart Search tool in SpyFu uses semantic term connections, Publicly available keyword data, and PPC campaign information to come back a list of keywords related to the keyword(s) (up to 10) you enter. You can filter from CPC, search volume as you can see, and you can also exclude keywords.
For me personally, I prefer to use the Organic keywords found and the PPC keywords In SpyFu Classic or SpyFu Kombat. I like to use other tools for pure keyword research (Google tools, Microsoft Ad Center Intelligence, and Wordtracker). I feel SpyFu is at its best when used as a research instrument versus a keyword search tool. Spyfu Pricing Plans
Pricing and Plans
Since I said, SpyFu's Basic plan starts at $33 each Month when billed annually (or $39 per month ). Though, contrary to other tools in this SEO tool inspection roundup, such as Moz Guru and KWFinder$12.00 in KWFinder, SpyFu doesn't price by search success. All plans come with an unlimited number of backlink , keyword, keyword collection, domain, and competitor/domain comparison search results combined with data export. The functionality you receive with SpyFu for the cost is a significant factor in why we gave it an Editors' Choice, along with the search volumes make the instrument much more appealing for study that is keyword that is ad hoc.
That is not to say SpyFu does not cap anything. The Fundamental Program provides you a potential of 250 sales leads and domain contacts, and 5,000 weekly tracked keyword rankings, along with 10 domain reports and 10 pay-per-click (PPC) reports through SpyFu's AdWords Advisor tool. The $78-per-month Professional program (also $58 a month when billed yearly ) lumps leads and contacts to 500 and per week tracked keyword positions to 15,000, along with custom-branded reports and access to SpyFu's application programming interface (API).
Finally, SpyFu has included a $199 per month Team program (billed yearly, or $299 month-to-month) with 2,000 sales leads and domain contacts, 40,000 weekly tracked keyword rankings, and five user logins. SpyFu also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Overall the firm has slashed on its pricing because our review, which makes it attractive to SMBs.
I find that their tools pretty helpful for research. I do not use Their Keyword Smart Search described above but the amount of data which They give (in a simple fashion) at the price points that they give is quite A nice combination. SpyFu makes its way Every undertaking. Spyfu Pricing Plans

Bernard Edwards Jr aka Focus site GO!
This week, on April 18th, is the 20th anniversary of the day Bernard Edwards was lost to us all, his fans, his friends and most of all, his family. CHICtribute.com is a tribute to his body of work which we all have had ever present in our lives, throughout our lives. It is the soundtrack to the lives of most of us.
I asked some of the CHIC members and some of the people Bernard Edwards collaborated with, what they would think about on the 20th anniversary of his death, if I said his name. So far 9 friends have shared their thoughts, I hope to add more… Here is a taste:
Andy Schwartz a.k.a. Andrew Barrett, former member of CHIC. He played piano on most CHIC albums and was part of CHIC's touring band. He is working as a composer, arranger and orchestrator and programmer:
"…While I think of Nile as the brains behind CHIC, I think of Nard as its soul. One of my best memories was when we played at the San Remo Music Festival. After getting some logistical complications and frayed nerves sorted out, Nard and Nile rounded everyone up, brought us to a fantastic seafood restaurant and proceeded to instruct the proprietor to keep the food and drink coming. It was a night to remember and it really brought the band together…."
For more use the article link in the LINKS.
I have recently come across some rare video of CHIC doing the Miss America pageant broadcast in 1980. Not only are they performing songs, one could almost not imagine CHIC doing, but they are also doing the CHIC written, produced and played on Diana Ross hit "Upside Down". I thought I'd post these clips as a celebration of Bernard Edwards life.
For the full CHIC performances on the Miss America pageant, check out the video clip on the article link (at the bottom of the linked page).

A rare promo picture of Bernard Edwards second band Distance feat. Bernard Edwards (bass), Tony Thompson (drums), Robert Hart (vocals), Eddie Martinez (guitar) and Jeff Bova (keyboards).
The band was founded in 1987. It released the same year the OST of the film Burglar and in 1989 the LP Under the one sky.
The LP is an underrated gem. It sounds rock with some funk oriented. I think it shows quite well the hidden rock face that might have been CHIC.

Believe it or not, even eyebrows are subject to fashion trends. From bushy to bleached, season after season, eyebrows serve to frame the face in style. Learn how to shape them, without batting an eye!
Eyebrow shaping 101
In your opinion, what is the biggest no-no when it comes to eyebrows? Over-tweezing, of course! So, what is the golden rule? Let the natural curve of your eyebrows be your guide. (To do so, you must start with a full brow).
- A. Visualize an imaginary line from the outside corner of your nose to the inner and outer corners of your eyes. These two lines indicate where your eyebrow should start and end.
- B. After smoothing the eyebrows with a small eyebrow brush, remove all hairs outside the defined area. Here's a tip: draw the contour of your eyebrows with a white pencil and then tweeze the hairs beneath and outside that line. (If tweezing is too painful, run an ice cube over your eyebrows to numb the skin.)
- C. Never tweeze above the eyebrow.
The latest trends in eyebrows
Eyebrows, too, are influenced by trends! In fall 2009, thick, natural-looking brows were the big thing. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the bleached eyebrow was all the rage in spring and summer 2010. This fall, we'll see the return of the natural, yet well-defined brow line. It just goes to show how quickly things change in the world of fashion!
In our view, the classic, natural, well-maintained eyebrow is probably your best bet.
