Go to dallasnews.com/nominate or call 214-550-8155 to nominate a company.
Ready to test your company's mettle?
We are.
Today we kick off The Dallas Morning News' Top 100 Places to Work 2019.
This is our 11th year of spotlighting employers who go above and beyond when it comes to treating workers with respect, giving them a sense of mission, and rewarding them with both tangible benefits and psychic income.
"Our Top 100 Places to Work brings a healthy competitive spirit to North Texas," says Grant Moise, president and publisher of The News. "I love the pride of companies recognized as a Top 100, and the motivation the competition gives to those companies that fall short so that they can make changes to crack the Top 100 the following year.
"We know companies in our region are competing for talent in a way that is unprecedented in certain sectors, and this competition makes sure companies are up for the challenge."
Our competition also provides wayfinding for workers displaced by a disruptive economy or looking for more fulfillment, appreciation and yes, maybe a bigger paycheck at a growing, stable company that treats employees like cherished family.
In an era of outsourcing and contract workers, the companies going against those trends deserve shout-outs.
We're looking for organizations that realize productivity and prosperity are products of doing the right things — even when it seems that doing less would be more cost effective.
Entering is free and comes with a complimentary 10-page culture review by our national research partner, Energage LLC, showing what your company is doing well and what needs more attention.
"Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results," says Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage in Exton, Pa., which conducts employee surveys in 50 major metro newspaper markets and uses the results to help businesses create places where workers don't fight the Monday blues.
"Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement," he says. "By far, the most successful organizations are the ones employees believe in."
Dancing panda heads
Since 2008, Energage has surveyed more than 19 million U.S. workers nationwide.
Last year alone, the research firm took the pulse of 2.6 million workers at more than 7,500 organizations, including 298 in Dallas-Fort Worth that employed a total of 150,433 people.
Our Top 100 winners for 2018 ran the gamut from 10-time winner Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers to first-timer Freedom Truck Finance LLC, which helps truck drivers buy their own rigs.
The perks included blow-your-mind escapades to exotic destinations, giving workers a piece of the action with stock or performance bonuses, and health benefits that put those at many companies to shame.
But my favorite Top 100 discoveries are quirky little things that companies do that reflect their DNA — like workers who celebrate by dancing around wearing a giant panda head or a top executive who's willing to have his face smashed with a pie for a good cause.
Tough, not daunting
Mediocre companies don't typically enter. Why would they?
Really good ones do, looking for ways to go from good to great by listening to the unvarnished opinions of their employees.
That's top of mind for Danielle Chavez, director of colleague experience at Grand Hyatt DFW, our No. 7 midsize company in 2018. "This feedback provided validation that our culture of care we strive to provide every day has been successful," she says.
Cindy Simpson, managing director of two-time winner Gensler Dallas, agrees. "Winning a spot on The Dallas Morning News' Top 100 Places to Work confirmed that our people value this culture that we work so hard to preserve. Our investment in our people resulted in them rating their own workplace as one of the best in North Texas."
Craig Lashley, president of two-time winner Valiant Residential, is a convert.
"Three years ago, I really didn't put much stock into companywide awards like the Top 100," says Lashley, who leads the property management company that was our No. 3 midsize company in 2018. "I'd always been focused on taking care of our employees and being a great leader. But when we won for the first time in 2017, the team dynamic changed, and there was a true sense of pride in our team members. The award gave more validation and pride to our team members than I ever would have imagined."
That's why he's going for a three-peat.
Our competition has the reputation as being one of the toughest markets in the country to win a Top 100 spot. But it's not as daunting as you might think. Each year, about 30 of our 100 winners are newbies, which keeps our competition fresh.
We also recognize 50 workplace achievers that would have made the top echelon in just about any of the other 50 markets where Energage conducts similar competitions.
There's no embarrassment factor. The News doesn't know the names of companies that enter and don't make the list.
Got your attention?
Let's go over the basics in more detail.
You nominate a company worthy of note. It doesn't have to be yours. It can be one you admire from the outside looking in.
Any organization — publicly held, privately owned, nonprofit or government agency — with at least 50 employees can enter. Companies in Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall and Wise counties are eligible.
Your company doesn't have to be based here. Smaller units of big corporations are eligible as long as they have 50 or more workers in North Texas.
Energage invites the nominated companies to participate. If they agree to the challenge, their employees will be surveyed this month through May.
There is no charge to enter, but it is a serious commitment. Companies have to give us email access to every employee or agree to distribute paper surveys with return envelopes. At least 35 percent of your employees must respond, and you can't strong-arm them to do so.
Employees are asked to measure how true two dozen short statements are about their organizations. Things like: This company operates by strong values and ethics. My job makes me feel like I am part of something meaningful.
The survey takes about five minutes to complete. The responses are anonymous so workers can freely dish out criticism. And they do.
The highest-scoring companies are announced at our winners' banquet in November. Small companies are as likely to win as larger ones, since the competition is divided into three employee sizes with top winners in each group.
Our editorial department gathers information, takes photos and arranges videos for our beautiful, informative magazine and our website, dallasnews.com/top100.
In full disclosure, this competition makes money for the newspaper and our research partner. The News sells advertisements in the magazine, but only after the competition is over.
Think of this as your support of non-fake news.
Energage makes money by selling a more detailed analysis in addition to its 10-page freebie executive brief.
Silence is golden
Only a handful of newsroom people knows the rankings, and we closely guard that information from others. Even Moise, our publisher and CEO, learns which companies are at the top of the list along with everyone else at the awards event.
You can't buy your way onto our list by buying a big ad. The advertising department and the newsroom have an impregnable firewall.
All of this has given Top 100 Places to Work much deserved credibility that winners can leverage in the job market.
Think you know about an organization with the right stuff?
Get the ball rolling by going to dallasnews.com/nominate or calling 214-550-8155.
We'll take it from there.
Rules of engagement
Who can nominate: Anyone
Who can enter: Any organization — public, private, nonprofit or government — with at least 50 employees in the North Texas counties of Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall and Wise.

One day during a prolonged time of praise and worship, God gave me a message. Although it was softly spoken, the words were unmistakable. In part, God said,
"Turn back to your first love. Turn back to the beginning."
God is pretty clear and direct, isn't he? And yet, I doubted. I didn't doubt God or the message, just me as the recipient. You know how someone will tell you God is going to do a new thing in your life and everyone gets all excited with a "bring it on, God!" attitude? That was me until this new-for-me thing actually happened.
Since God was doing a "new thing" with me, I didn't quite know what to do next so I fell back on what I did know. The Bible says to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21) so I started there. I asked God to confirm this message as only he can. Sure enough, Holy Spirit did just that in multiple ways. First, he led me to a passage that seemed to glow off the page. I had an unshakable knowledge that this passage was significant in regards to the message God had given me.
One Of Many
Shortly thereafter, two of my friends shared that they were given a message from God. Imagine my surprise as I listened. Although we were each looking at it from different perspectives, we had each had been given the same message of turning back to our first love!
A few days after that, I was on Pinterest and stumbled across an image with the exact verse God had given me. After I read the attached post, I searched for more such pins but came up empty-handed. Was stumbling onto this pin graphic a coincidence or a God-thing? It had to be a God-thing that I even noticed this pin. The verse on the image wasn't common. In fact, it was a verse of correction and redirection so most would tend to avoid it in favor of the pretty, "feel-good" verses that everyone loves to share.
To be honest, I was a bit intimidated at this point. These three ladies are what I would call "heavy hitters" for God's Kingdom. I wasn't sure why God gave me this message but I was pretty sure I wasn't ready for a prophetic message like this.
I felt like King Solomon in 1 Kings. Solomon was spending time praying and praising God after his father (King David) had passed. Solomon thanked God for his great kindness in appointing him (Solomon) to be the next king of God's people. (Isn't it neat the way God lets us peek into the prayer life of his saints?)
Even though Solomon was born and raised for this moment, he obviously still didn't feel qualified because as he continued his prayer he confessed to God, "but I am like a little child who doesn't know his way around." (1 Kings 3:7).
Have you ever felt that way when God asked something of you?
One Subject, Different Perspectives
It might seem strange to you that God would give each of us the same message with different perspectives. When I asked God about this, he reminded me that we have four gospels, all about the same subject(s) but from different perspectives and written in each writer's personal style. Why did God do that? I'm not sure. Maybe it was because each would appeal to a different audience. Or was it to drive home the significance of what Jesus Christ was doing on earth. Perhaps it was for reasons that have not yet been revealed.
We see in 1 Kings that sometimes God will bless more than one person when he needs something said or done. He knows that as much as we love him we mess up. Elijah thought he was the only Prophet left. God had to remind Elijah that he was one of many, all with a similar message, all waiting in the wings to be used. (1 Kings 19:18)
You might still be wondering which of one of us were viewing and delivering God's message correctly. Maybe all of us, maybe none of us. To be honest, I've no idea. What I do know is that ultimately it doesn't really matter. God has a plan bigger than any one person and he is not dependent on ANY mortal man. In Esther 4:14, Mordecai let Esther know that if she chose not to speak up for her people, God would use other means to accomplish his goals. Mordecai asked Esther, "Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
God isn't limited by us. If we refuse to speak up or act, he is not left unprepared. I am truly confident that we four are not the only ones God has given this message to, I just haven't come across them yet. And even though we each have our own style, as long as our message remains true to what God has given us, God's will be done.
God Gives It To You For A Reason
None of us knows what the future holds, nor what God might ask of us. Trust me when I say I was not expecting God gave me a message like this. He has something for each of us and your something could be something similar or completely different. Just don't expect it to resemble my experience. Our God is an awesome God! He is creative, kind, and generous. If you ever question this, read each healing account in the New Testament and see the different ways Jesus healed and his demeanor as he healed.
I fully admit I was hesitant to share this message. I was waiting on more pieces of the puzzle to be answered. After a while, it became more important to me to obey than to be "in the know". Sometimes, we have to simply trust God and not worry about the next step, the next word, the next anointing. That is faith in action.
Your Take-Away
There are a few things I want you to take away from this post. The first is that if God has given you something, he has given it to you for a specific reason. Like me, you may not understand what he is asking of you. That's okay. If it is His will, he will reveal it in his time. But he may choose not to reveal it and simply expect you to obey. You have to be okay with that.
Next, regardless of what he asks, God knows where you are and what you're capable of. Keep in mind that even the disciples had to take the time to learn at the feet of Jesus. You might not have confidence in your abilities but God does. And he is never wrong.
Keep reading for the third takeaway (and the reason for this entire post).
The Message Continues
Even more important than the first two takeaways is the rest of the message God wants to be shared:
"My people what have you done?!? You worship your buildings of wood and stone. You have made idols of your pastors, prophets, and musicians. You blindly follow my so-called "chosen people" who do not even know my name. Turn back to your first love — Me. Turn back to the beginning. Do you not know I Am the Beginning?"
What does all this mean? I don't know. You will have to ask God what these words mean for you. I only know it is a message for God's people; a warning, a correction. What it says to me is that every one of God's people needs to search their hearts, judge their own fruits, and repent to God as needed. If we do not do this on our own, God will.
Take An Honest Look
Are we guilty of creating idols with our churches, our pastors, our bibles, and even our crosses? Are we turning to these idols instead of turning to God? God is with us always. He hears our every prayer. Why do we think we have to be in a church building or in front of certain people for our prayers to be heard in Heaven?
In the Old Testament, they needed a priest to be their intercessor; we do not. Jesus died for that privilege; a mere man did not. The Holy Spirit is our helper. We are to turn to him before we turn to anyone or anything else. If you choose to turn to someone or something else instead, you are creating and worshipping at the altar to your man-made god. God is calling each of us to smash the altars of our gods and turn back to him.
Turn Back To Your First Love
God has never turned someone away who sought him, even if that someone had willingly walked away in the past. So pray for wisdom and help to turn from the alters you have created. This isn't something God will do for you. You have to do the work with God's grace.
Us humans are capable of creating an idol out of anything, large or small. If you doubt that, ask yourself where your thoughts stray? You need to pay attention because your eyes and head will soon follow. God is a jealous God and he is not willing to share his children. He longs to have all his people back.
Turn back to the beginning — back to God. Seek him for who he is, not what he can give. Worship him because he is worthy, not because it makes you feel good or someone "in leadership" told you to. Spend time with him just the two of you. Learn for yourself who he is, what he thinks, what has happened to those who followed, or disobeyed him in the past. When you have a question, good news, or feeling needy, go to God FIRST. But don't just talk at him, talk with him. He loves you and he is waiting.
My Prayer
Sweet Jesus, I am so sorry I forget that it is all about you. It's not about me. You are my everything and I adore you. Thank you for blessing me so that I can bless your people. Help me to identify and break the strongholds I have allowed in my life. Lord, I've created so many idols but you are not a god created with my weak human hands. You are my living hope. I bow down before you and proclaim that you alone are my Lord and my God.
God, I am so thankful that you are still on your throne. I am so thankful that you have not given up on us but have extended your grace once again. All throughout history your people have turned to other idols and gods. I am so sorry that I have become one of those people. You don't deserve the way we are treating you.
I pray for your church, my brothers and sisters. Lord, we have deceived ourselves. We try to operate in your power but are without power because we are double-minded in our devotion. Forgive us. I pray every one of your children will seek your face, allow their hearts to be softened to receive your message, turn fully back to you, and smash the altars of their idols and gods.
Lord God Almighty, I pray that we as a people turn from our wicked ways. Help me to remember how to worship your heart, Jesus. I ask that you put a longing in our heart to hear you say "You are my people, I am your God." I pray that each of us turns back to you, our first love, without delay.
In Jesus' mighty name I pray, Amen!

Nothing taste much better than these beans with your favorite barbecued meat and potato salad. Yum!
Mar 10, 2012
I made it in a crock pot, added ham steak, used pinto instead of navy beans, and left out the liquid smoke. It was really good, but I prefer my baked beans to be more sweet than savory--reducing the ketchup to 1 cup would fix this no problem.Even my husband, who hates beans, loved this.

Best beans ever. Taste even better next day & freeze well!

A new Garmin running watch hit the shelves, this time impressively being solar powered.
But this runner isn't retiring my Garmin Vivoactive 3 for an upgrade just yet.
Garmin released last month not one, but four new smartwatches for athletes: the Fenix 6, Fenix 6S, Fenix 6X, and Fenix 6X Pro Solar.
The first three are the latest updates to the Fenix 5 series, with the last being the company's first-ever solar-powered watch.
There are two main things to know about the Fenix 6x Pro Solar—it has a really long battery life and a larger display.
Okay, and it has a slew of other great features. But is this enough for the average runner to make the leap to this model?
This runner absolutely couldn't resist reading up on the latest series of watches, but solar power or not, I still am not ready to leave my Vivoactive 3 behind.
The Fenix 6 Series
Before talking about the Fenix 6x Pro Solar, lets first go over the updates of the other models. Frankly, while having a solar-powered running watch sounds awesome, I just don't think that's big enough of a reason for me to buy this model.
It's not like I spend tons of time hitting the trails, and certainly aren't one of the trail racers that were in Chamonix, France for the extremely difficult UTMB race where Garmin announced the launch of the watches.
For the average runner, models like the Fenix 6 or 6X might be a more realistic choice. The 6 has a 1.3-inch display, the 6X a 1.4-inch display, being larger than the 5 series.
An easy way to remember it is 6S is the smaller watch, Fenix 6 the medium, Fenix 6X the bigger and the Fenix 6X Pro, the solar version.
All the watches do the basics like have a built-in heart rate sensor that includes a new stress test feature, 3-axis accelerometer, is water-resistant, comes with preloaded maps, a compass, interval training, sleep tracking and tracks calories.
The Garmin Fenix 6X and Fenix 6X Pro Solar that has Wi-Fi, and built-in music storage with the ability to load playlists from Spotify on the device.
The Fenix 6 Series vs Vivoactive Series
Garmin's new lineup of watches all has PulseOx, or pulse oximeter data that senes blood oxygen saturation. It also has impressive training data like the ability to show how a workout benefits a focus area. It also altitude acclimation, accident detection if a crash happens when cycling, and safety assistance that alerts family members if help is needed.
More features include an upgraded heart rate sensor that is the same as the Garmin Forerunner 945 and 245 and a more accurate VO2Max reading.
Keep in many that all these features the Garmin Forerunner 945 and MARQ series of running watches does.
In comparison, the Vivoactive 3 also has the same Elevate heart rate sensor, detects VO2Max, is water-resistant, has an accelerometer, compass and has fancy smart features like smart notifications, and Garmin Pay. There is also the LiveTrack safety feature.
Compared to the Fenix 6, the display is only .1" smaller. The Fenix 6 series has a gyroscope, a feature the Vivoactive doesn't have.
Smart features remain the same, expect the Fenix 6 has a battery saver mode. This newer series does offer more safety and tracking features like Incident Detection and Group Livetrack.
Activity tracking remains the same as well as gym and fitness equipment compatibility.
The Fenix series has interval training— which is new—configurable lap alerts, heat and altitude acclimation, training status to tell If the runner is training effectively and the training load from the last week. There is also custom alerts, audio prompts, a virtual partner feature, and course guidance.
The Fenix 6 series is closer in comparison to the Fenix 5 but has many of the same features of the Forerunner 945 and MARQ series. These watches are also expected to get Garmin software updates to include some of the fancy new features.
(However, for the purpose of this post, I wanted to highlight the similarities and differences of the Fenix 6 series to the Vivoactive 3 since I have that model along with many other runners I personally know.)
In short, there are some new features but might not be enough to fork over $600 when the Vivoactive can almost keep up with the newer model.
What Sets The 6 Series Apart
That is until learning about the new running features.
All the Fenix 6 watches have the new PacePro feature that helps you keep pace on track with guidance mid-run. It adjusts for the route so that the runner stays on pace with the amount of elevation and grade of hills.
The runner not only seeing current pace, but target split pace, your actual split pace and the distance to the next split. The best part is the ability to see how much time the runner is behind or ahead on their target. This means finally knowing you are can crush that course PR in a race using the knowledge-based on these stats.
Other awesome running stats the Vivoactive 3 doesn't have is vertical oscillation, which is the degree of the "bounce" in your running, ground contact time, stride length done in real-time, cadence, performance condition, and lactate threshold.
Fenix 6X Pro Solar
What makes the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar so special is the fact that is is solar powered. But part solar powered.
It's equipped with Power Glass, which uses energy from the sun to increase battery life. It isn't the sole way to charge the watch. The Fenix 6x Pro Solar has a battery life of 21 days, but using the solar-powered tech, it extends this to another three days.
Compared to the Vivoactive 3, that running watch's battery life is only up to seven days in smartwatch mode and up to 13 hours in GPS mode.
Other major differences are its size. The watch has a 1.4-inch display, making it much larger than the Fenix 5X.
The Garmin Fenix 6 series watches have a starting price of $599.99.
The Vivoactive 3 in comparison is only $249.99.
Why The Vivoactive 3 Is All I Need — For Now
I can't lie and say after learning about all those new running features in the Fenix 6 series that I'm not secretly wanting a Garmin upgrade.
But was I among the first to buy is when it was announced? No. Do I have plans to buy it anytime soon? No.
I certainly wouldn't be the right consumer for the Fenix 6X Pro Solar. I like a decent size display, but find anywhere between 1.2-1.3-inches is suffice. I don't want to feel like I have this bulky watch on my wrist.
I also think that it's awesome that there is a solar-powered version, but do not spend hours let alone days on trails so charging the watch more often isn't a major dealbreaker for me since I do feel like I get days usage out of it.
Even though I am fairly tech-savvy, the Vivoactive 3 is easy to use even for those not so tech-inclined.
It tracks all the basics, even how many miles are on specific running shoes. It has some smart features and looks great on. It has multi-sport tracking and is made to be worn all day without the look of a running watch like those old FitBit or for those who want something more fashionable looking compared to the Apple Watch design.
The watch is touchscreen and has a 240 x 240 resolution LCD. Okay, this is not as impressive as the Apple Watch but has a GPS and GLONASS positional radios, a barometric altimeter, compass, accelerometer, and thermometer for all fitness related needed. Plus it's accurate and reliable.
In short, it's a great running smartwatch for its value. Runners are getting lots of bang for not a lot of buck.
The Vivoactive 3 was an extremely popular smartwatch option for those looking for a fitness tracker when it launched and continues to be a great mid-range option.
I continue to wear it on the daily and don't plan on giving it up any time soon. Until the next big occasion or holiday comes around and I am gifted with the Fenix 6.

Canada is about to begin legal recreational marijuana sales on October 17th and motorists need to start preparing.
There are some special rules for marijuana inside vehicles and for the most part they need to remain sealed in their original packaging and out of reach of anyone in the car. Some provinces are even specifying that marijuana can only be transported in the trunk or an external compartment.
There could be some hefty fines if drivers violate the rules of their province. These fines can range from $237 in Manitoba to as high as $5,000 and even jail time in British Columbia.
Bill Bogart, a law professor at the University of Windsor and author of "Off the Street: Legalizing Drugs," told CTV's Your Morning this week, "One of the biggest myths is that there's no problem using it and driving."
Check out the rules for each province below when it comes to driving with marijuana:
Alberta: Must be secured in closed packaging and not within reach of the driver or occupants.
British Columbia: Must be in a sealed package, or inaccessible to any passengers. British Columbians can drive with no more than four cannabis plants that are not flowering.
Manitoba: Cannabis must be stored in a secure compartment, such as a trunk.
New Brunswick: No restrictions in place for for how indivduals transport cannabis.
Newfoundland and Labrador: Cannabis must be in a sealed package or otherwise not readily available to anyone in the vehicle, unless the vehicle is being used as a dwelling. Passengers on taxis and buses will be allowed to carry cannabis.
Northwest Territories: Cannabis in a vehicle must be unopened or be stored in a place that is out of reach for any passengers.
Nova Scotia: Marijuana must be in a sealed package and out of reach from anyone in the vehicle.
Nunavut: Cannabis can not be within reach of anyone in a vehicle.
Ontario: Package must be sealed or not readily available to anyone in the vehicle.
P.E.I.: Cannabis is allowed in unopened packaging. If opened, it should not be accessible to anyone in the vehicle.
Quebec: CTVNews.ca has reached out for clarification on Quebec's regulation.
Saskatchewan: Cannabis is allowed in a vehicle, provided it is not being ingested, it was bought legally and is being transported to a place where it will be legally ingested.
Yukon: Cannabis in a vehicle must be in a closed container and inaccessible to all passengers.

To stay updated with the latest information in the apiculture industry to may check out our beekeeping latest news. On the other hand if you are starting apiculture and desire to begin professional apiculture now get a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other activity, has its own dos and don'ts. Beginning beekeeping usually includes the needed gear and purchasing bees. Nonetheless, some people who are beginning this hobby normally make several blunders. It is acceptable to make mistakes, and this article can help new beekeepers prevent making precisely the same mistakes others have previously.
Here are three errors which every beekeeper should avert:
1. Not knowing the best time to start avocation or a beekeeping company can end up being a disaster. It may lead to a lack of your bees and money. Since most bees perish during winter months, winter is the worst possible time to begin. This would induce a beekeeper to buy a new batch of bees, which would cost more money. Fall is another poor time since you will find fewer blooms, so a smaller number of honey picked, to start beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which is the time of the year where there are plenty of blooming flowers.
2. Buying used gear and old books. This can be a common error made by many beginning beekeepers. It is understandable that one would desire to cut costs as much as possible, but purchasing used gear and old beekeeping books isn't a good idea. First, used equipment can come with "inherited" difficulties. The extractor factory outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife mightn't be sharp enough to uncap all the wax. This would surely affect the quality of one's honey, which will ben't an ideal scenario especially if a beekeeper is planning to commence a honey-selling company. Second, dated information can be provided by old novels on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the conventional approach when there are better and more rapid means to maintain beehives and manufacture honey.
3. Refraining from purchasing protective gear. Think about this. He/she will most likely come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers if one does not wear protective gear when managing the hives and accumulating the honeycombs. Protective gear is pricey, yes, but it'll help beekeepers avert having to pay medical bills.
These three mistakes happen to be presented here to help they are avoided by future beekeepers. It's best to consult an expert beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If buying a particular item appears overly high-priced, constantly think about the ending cost (if they do not purchase this thing now, will it cost them more later on?). Finally, it is up to the person to determine the best plan of action.

about their expected outcomes. Regarding representation strategies, Strang and Linnhoff-Popien (2004)
considered several major types of models, of which
three are most applicable to IF: key-value models,
ontology-based models, and logic-based models
(for example, the ontology web language [OWL]).
A formal approach for reasoning about situations
(Powell et al. 2006) is the use of ontologies to represent objects and relationships as well as their
evolution over time. An ontology is a specification
of concepts and relationships among entities that
can exist in a given setting (Kokar, Matheus, and
Baclawski 2009). In the ideal case, this description
can express in a reasonable way the evolution of
objects and their relationships (Gómez-Romero,
Bobillo, and Delgado 2011). Recent researchers in IF
have recognized the advantages of cognitive situation models, pointing out the importance of formal
context knowledge to achieve scene understanding.
Steinberg and Bowman (2009) emphasized the importance of context knowledge, for instance, when visual
inputs are to be interpreted (Gómez-Romero et al.
2012). Sycara et al. (2009) state that parts of the context are the significant features or the history of a situation that influence the features of other situations,
as well as the expectations on what is to be observed
and the interpretation of what has been observed.
With respect to reasoning, ontological representations provide a logically robust classification of the
entities in its domain, which can be used to analyze
and derive relationships among instances of entities
in certain situations. Ontologies formally describe
the core concepts, the facts, and their interrelationships, which can be used to build realistic representations of context (Gómez-Romero et al. 2010), and they
can be extended with ad hoc logic-based models
for knowledge-intensive applications. Ontologies
represent context as facts and information inferred
from rules to allow for the development of more
sophisticated representations and reasoning procedures. Ontologies must use highly expressive, logic-based knowledge models to describe a domain with
an automatically processable language. Description
logics (DLs) are a family of logics used to represent
this structured knowledge (Baader, Horrocks, and
Sattler 2005) and have proved to be suitable ontology
languages. Ontology languages are usually equivalent
to a decidable DL, as occurs in the case of OWL2. DLs
are categorized by level, according to the allowed
expressions in them. In general, the more expressive
a language, the greater the computational complexity required for inferences. The situation theory
ontology, modeled in OWL, is the result of extensive
research in situation theory and provides a formal
language for representing relationships between situational elements.
With respect to inference and reasoning processesfor situation and impact refinement (JDL level 2 or 3),some initiatives such as the rule interchange formatsearch formats for the interchange of rules in rule-based systems to create a common interchange formatfor different rule languages and inference engines.The basic reasoning task regarding ontology con-cepts is satisfiability, which implies there are no con-tradictions with the rest of the stored knowledge.Another important task is the concept of subsump-tion, which occurs when a concept is more generalthan another concept. So, a typical inference doneover ontology instances is to test whether there arenot contradictions in the axioms in the knowledgebase. The DL inference engines execute these typesof tasks over ontologies built with OWL and/orOWL 2 languages, such as Pellet (Sirin et al. 2007)and RACER (Haarslev and Moller, 2001) as two rep-resentative examples of DL reasoners. The compu-tational complexity of the reasoning proceduresdepends on the expressivity of the language consid-ered. Rule-based reasoning is not directly supportedby OWL, but several extensions have been proposed.One of the most interesting is the semantic web rulelanguage (Sirin et al. 2007), an extension of OWL,which includes deductive inference within OWLontologies.
Therefore, context adaptation is one of the top
challenges identified for the next wave of AI research,
a goal aligned with the IF research community to develop advanced systems able to represent situations
and reason about them. Developing adaptive processes
(that is, JDL level 4 processes according to the model
presented at the beginning of this article) requires an
explicit representation of situations and contextual
premises in the pathway to reason about the process
and to trigger appropriate adaptation mechanisms.
Likewise, user refinement (that is, level 5 fusion) requires systems with human explainable reasoning
for interpretability.
Perspectives onContext for IF and AIA cornerstone for new advances in the AI field isthe development of interpretable models, a funda-mental aspect to explaining observations accord-ing to the knowledge acquired and explaining thedecisions made depending on situations. Theseinterpretable models should take into account theavailable contextual data (static and dynamic),which implies adaptation to the conditions of theproblems addressed. In the same way, context isfundamental to deriving adaptive IF systems. Thissection analyzes the role of context in the researchof both communities.
Context Representation and Semantics:
Joint Perspective on Context from AI and IF
Historically, AI has always dealt with the notion
of context, which has now become the focus of
challenges in the next wave of intelligent systems.
A pioneering approximation to context formalization in the field of AI is by McCarthy (1993), who

Ah, margarita.
So here you are in luxury house on Isle of Palms, kicking back on the deck overlooking the ocean. You're relaxing in a lounge chair with a good book, working on your tan. The only thing missing is a liquid libation on the table next to you.
Have no fear, there's a festival for that!
Get set for the 3rd annual Charleston Margarita Festival, going on tonight. It takes place at Brittlebank Park downtown, an easy drive from the Isle of Palms.
Deets on the Margarita Festival
Admission ($45 general, $55 early) allows you to taste from among 20 different margaritas, whipped up by some of Charleston's best. Think: Mex 1 Coastal Cantina, SOL Southwest Kitchen, Tattooed Senorita Cantina, Yo Bo Cantina Fresca and Stems & Skins.
There will be plenty of other food and drinks available from the likes of Roti Rolls, Smoky Oak Taproom, The Shelter and Rebel Taqueria. Also dance to great Latin music by DJ Luigi and Bryan the DJ – salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton – plus Top 40 and more.
They'll be checking IDs at the door, and you must be 21 or over to enter. So better leave the kiddos at home.
The Charleston Margarita Festival is a rain or shine event and goes on from 7:00 – 10:00 p.m. tonight – Friday, August 3rd. Here's the official festival website.
Word to the wise: call an Uber or Lyft back home to your beach house.
Surf Filmfest
If you feel like staying indoors this evening, you might want to check out a fun evening at Charleston Music Hall. It's the second annual surf film fest, entitled, "Surf in the City: A Night of Surf Films." Doors open at 7:00 and the films start at 8:00. This is what's on tap, according to the Post & Courier:
"Outer," from teenage filmmaker Logan Marshall, is a look at surfing along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, starring the islands' hometown heroes, teen pro Bo Raynor and former pro Jesse Hines.
"Rum Punch," from Imperial Motion, is a short film and salute to summer, with lots of shredding and a vintage vibe to it.
"Find Refuge in the Sea," from James Tull and the Salty Crew, is a surfing and fishing film that follows the fellas on "a wild search for waves and fish" down the Baja Coast.
"Scoring Skeleton Bay," from Brett Barley, documents the fulfillment of a dream to surf the legendary Skeleton Bay, "the world's longest barreling left point" break in Namibia in South Africa.
"Arctic January," from Jonathan Stromberg, follows Danish surfer Oliver Hartkopp on his "strike mission" to a remote area of Norway in the middle of a winter storm after the Polar Night period, when there's only around three hours of sunlight each day.
Like I mentioned a couple blogs ago, the surf scene is really happenin' near Charleston. This is a great chance to experience the surf life, even if the weather's rainy outside. Admission is just $10. Here's more.
Remember to shop tax free this weekend
As I covered in that last blog, be sure to take advantage of tax-free shopping this weekend.
Basically, from now through midnight Sunday, you'll pay no sales tax on several basic items. Examples are clothes, shoes, school supplies, computers and printers, linens, purses, and much more.
The list is immense. The savings really adds up, since by shopping this weekend in the state of South Carolina, you'll be saving 9%. That's 6% state tax plus 3% county tax near Charleston.
Here's more from Live 5 News. This is a helpful link to the official SC Department of Revenue document on what is and is not covered for tax-free purchase this weekend.
So sip a margarita or two (or fifteen), see some surfing, and save some $. And remember, when you are looking for a beach house near Charleston, be sure to call Exclusive Properties. We'll put you in the perfect one.
All best,
Lowcountry Lisa

GMC began production of the purpose-built CarbonPro bed in June 2019. Available on the Sierra Denali 1500 and Sierra AT4 1500, the CarbonPro bed delivers best-in-class dent, scratch and corrosion resistance. Made with the same carbon fiber used in supercars and aerospace applications CarbonPro is the first truck bed of its kind.
Key benefits of the CarbonPro bed include:
- Strength, durability and scratch resistance: The carbon fiber composite material provides the most scratch, dent and corrosion-resistant pickup bed in the industry.
- Corrosion-resistance: Carbon fiber composite naturally resists corrosion, helping the bed withstand weathering and to maintain a premium appearance over the life of the truck.
- Reduced weight: The CarbonPro bed weighs 25 percent less than a traditional steel bed, removing roughly 60 pounds of vehicle mass. It's grained surface also negates the need for bed liners, potentially saving further vehicle mass.
- More volume: The CarbonPro bed design enables best-in-class cargo volume, increasing the already class-leading volume of the Sierra's roll-formed steel bed by 1 cubic foot.
- More functionality: The CarbonPro bed features indentations specifically designed for dirt and street bike tires. Two additional tie-down locations are installed at the front of the bed.
Rigorous Testing:
The CarbonPro bed was rigorously developed to help ensure long-term pickup bed durability and functionality.
Examples of validation testing include:
- Drop tests: Large and heavy loads were repeatedly dropped on the CarbonPro bed to replicate extreme use scenarios. Testing included dropping cinder blocks, 1800-pound loads of gravel and 450-pound water-filled steel drums from varying heights.
- Corrosion test: CarbonPro was subjected to corrosion testing but carbon fiber composite is naturally resistant to corrosion.
- Snowmobile test: A snowmobile with metal studs on the track was driven into the bed and accelerated at full throttle with a 250-pound rider on board with only minimal scratching evident on the bed.
- Extreme temperature testing: Validation work was performed in Yuma, Arizona, and Kapuskasing, Ontario, to help ensure CarbonPro holds up in unforgiving environments.
- Generator test: High heat exposure involved aiming the exhaust from a portable generator directly at the corner of the bed to ensure heat and vibration would not degrade the bed.
Sierra CarbonPro Edition is making a limited debut for the 2019 model year for both the Sierra Denali and AT4 1500. CarbonPro will be more widely available on both trim levels for the 2020 model year.

Talk: Supervised Learning for video summarization
Speaker: Fei Sha (University of Southern California)
Today there is far more video being captured — by consumers, scientists, defense analysts, and others — than can ever be watched. With this explosion of video data comes a pressing need to develop automatic video summarization algorithms. Video summarization takes a long video as input and produces a short video as output, while preserving its information content as much as possible. As such, summarization techniques have great potential to make large video collections substantially more efficient to browse, search, disseminate, and facilitate communication. Such increased efficiency will play a vital role in many important application areas. For example, with reliable summarization systems, a biologist gathering long videos of her animal subjects could quickly browse a week's worth of their activity before deciding where to inspect the data most closely. A young student searching YouTube to learn about Yellowstone National Park could see at a glance what content exists, much better than today's simple thumbnail images can depict. An intelligence agent could rapidly sift through reams of aerial video, reducing the resources required to analyze surveillance data to identify suspicious activities.
In this talk, I will describe our recent efforts in developing supervised learning techniques for video summarization. Concretely, I will discuss how to formulate video summarization as a subset selection problem and to describe the subset selection with a probabilistic model known as determinantal point processes (DPPs). I will demonstrate the empirical success of this approach and its superiority over many other competing methods.
Dr. Fei Sha is the Jack Munushian Early Career Chair and an associate professor at the University of Southern California, Dept. of Computer Science. His primary research interests are machine learning and its application to speech and language processing, computer vision, and robotics. He had won outstanding student paper awards at NIPS 2006 and ICML 2004. He was selected as a Sloan Research Fellow in 2013, won an Army Research Office Young Investigator Award in 2012, and was a member of DARPA 2010 Computer Science Study Panel.

Kodagu, May 13, 2017: Cow vigilantes in Kodagu district of Karnataka went on a rampage and burnt a Tempo Traveller van in which eight stolen cows were allegedly being transported from Mangaluru to Kodagu.
The cow lovers turned their ire on the van when they spotted it parked in front a police station after it was intercepted by the police after a highway chase in the dead of night.
Late Friday night, the owners of the stolen cows in Thornoor village had complained about the theft to the Kushalnagar police who relayed the message to the Kodlipet police. But the driver and seven people in the Tempo Traveller eluded the barricades, hit a motorcyclist and fled towards Sakleshpur.
Policemen from Kushalnagar continued to chase the Tempo. A pick-up truck accompanying the van tried to block the police vehicle but the police party managed to intercept the Tempo at Aanemahal in the Sakleshpur rural police limits at 3 am.
However, five of the people in the van escaped after a scuffle with the police. Two men, identified as Sharif and Mansoor, have been arrested.
The pick-up truck was stopped and police took both vehicles into custody and parked them near the Kodlipet police station.
Kodagu superintendent of police Rajendra Prasad said efforts are on to nab the fugitives and police in Hassan and Mangaluru had been notified about the incident. The driver of the pick-up van who tried to obstruct the policemen is also at large.
Investigations are also on to nab the persons who torched the vehicle

Mark Belanger
Right on, Scotty! From what I heard, both Belanger and his skipper(Earl Weaver), were pretty much Marlboro cigarette chain smokers back in the day. Another player from that era who couldn't wait to get that third out, so to get off the field and sneak away for a few quick puffs, was Don Gullet of Cincinnati. I would think there were many other ball players from the 70's who would literally walk a mile for a Camel. Anyone know of any Cardinal players who enjoyed lighting up? Reflecting back to when I was a kid in the 70's, it's getting kind of hazy as to what places it was acceptable to smoke…..I'm pretty sure they had ash trays positioned throughout grocery stores. You could smoke in banks. I came from a non-smoking household, but I recall being in friends homes where ashtrays were littered all about. I even recall smelling cigarette smoke from the stall next to me during confession.February 9, 2019 at 3:46 pm #81600

Speaking of Ricky "Ricardo" Nolasco, did you know that he has made in excess of 81 million dollars in his baseball career? I bet he's glad he didn't decide to enter the teaching profession, as it would have cost him about a cool 80 million in career earnings.February 11, 2019 at 2:19 pm #81719bicyclemikeModeratorPaid - Annual
The mention of Mark Belanger and Earl Weaver in this thread has me sending condolences to the family of the great Frank Robinson.
F Robby never played with the Cardinals, but battered us around for 10 years as a Red, and his best buddy Vada Pinson suited up for us for a season. And of course Curt Flood tagged along with those guys now and then as well.
RIP Frank. You showed Bill DeWitt Sr. what a mistake he made when he called you an "old 30" back in the day, and traded you.February 11, 2019 at 11:30 pm #81732so_cal_cards_fanParticipantFree

so it is no use trying to pretend. I was talking to a friend last night. She was struggling with praying for her enemies.
First of all, she was overwhelmed with guilt for having enemies. But when someone puts a target on your back, that gives them a special status. Jesus had enemies so as his disciples why would we not have them. What I love about Jesus is He had no problem confronting their behavior. In Matthew 3:7 and 12:34 He called them vipers.
When people attack us, we need to be honest with ourselves and with God. We need to pray honest prayers over the situation. I know some folks like to pray good things over their enemies, but baby, I bet they get upset when they see good things happening to them. I have learned to pray from exactly where my heart is. God knows where my heart is so there is no need for me to pretend and pray a bunch of stuff I don't believe. (just because you say it in a prayer doesn't make it true)
I will lift up my enemies family situation, their work, finances, relationships, everything God brings to mind. Lord, get them so busy dealing with their stuff they don't have time to deal with me.
What you do is give God permission to deal with your honest stuff. You have to recognize your stuff before God can change it. Most recently some folks came after some friends and me hard. Sometimes I found the situations to be unreal because the prejudice was so over the top. But we prayed honest prayers and talked each other out of physical violence.
One day of the main oppressor went away. It was awesome. Then the Lord began to deal with the others. He took us from praying "Lord, get them!" to praying "Lord, save them." We went from wanting to hit them in their throats to praying that God would deliver them from their struggles.
The Lord handled them and healed us. Most people miss the healing part, because they are too afraid to pray those first prayers. They let bitterness take root, and never let God dig it out. They stay in the pretend world of wanting good things to happen to everyone.
I want people who intentionally do evil to others to feel the wrath of God. Many want to emphasize God's love, but down play His judgment. Jesus has promised that God will protect His sheep, and I am going to hold Him to it. When people come after me, I am going to let God handle it.
I pray over everyone who comes against me. Most situations the Lord has changed my heart on, while there are still a few I should not meet because I will hit them in their throat. I have learned He deals with everything in its own time. We are such a microwave generation that we want to feel better about something instantly, while God will take all the time He needs to work out His plan.
I keep praying until I see Him change a situation. He does. In the process I become a better me, not a bitter me. How about you?

The Art of The Election: A Social Media History of the 2016 Presidential Race
The book is 700 pages comprising of Donald Trump's tweets from June 2015 to November 2016 and footnotes which comprise 70-80% of the tweets which explain the context of each tweet. The book has a 100 page bibliography.
It is highly likely that Trump would not have been elected President were it not for social media. This is an unprecedented statement. This is the first time a presidential candidate utilized a social network to get his message out directly to voters, but moreover, to shape the media feedback loop. His tweets became news. This is primary source material on the 2016 election. No need for narratives, outside "experts" or political "science".
The file is too large to post on this website. But you can download the book under this link:
Keywords and phrases: 2016, book, Trump, election, social media.


text: A Lancashire-based precision engineering company, which supplies to the LEAP aircraft engine, has reduced production time drastically by installing Industry 4.0 technologies. T&R Precision was incorporated over 20 years ago by father and son engineers Ray and Tim Maddison and has grown to be a key part of the supply chain to some of the world's biggest aircraft manufacturers. With a staff of 70, the 24-hour-a-day production factory produces parts for nacelles, the housing that surrounds the engine on an aircraft. The uncertainties caused by Brexit has prompted T&R to look beyond its European customer base and explore how Industry 4.0 technologies can secure the future of the business. It believes it has found a unique manufacturing method that will boost productivity levels and revenues, open new global markets and give it a major advantage over its competitors. The challenge T&R has been awarded a contract to produce parts which ultimately end up on the GE/Safran LEAP engine, which is used on the Airbus 320Neo and Boeing 737 Max aircraft. These parts are manufactured using a hard metal called Inconel, which is both difficult to cut and machine. Currently, to be able to produce a batch of 12 parts, the process involves four or five different machines and takes about a week to complete. Using several different technologies, T&R has found a way of producing the same set of components in a fraction of the time, using just one machine. Managing director Tim Maddison said: "As a subcontractor, we are used by our customers to find a cost-effective solution where capacity is a major concern on these programmes. "This is because the current manufacturing process takes a long time and can be problematic. "If we do it the same way, we will run out of capacity and skilled labour. We need to have a competitive solution in the long term." The solution T&R's all-in-one fully automated machining system involves applying new software and hardware solutions to a 5-axis CNC machine. This overcomes the problems with aligning and holding the parts in place during manufacturing. The solution also streamlines and speeds up the inspection process by sending the components' measurements electronically to the quality control department. Meanwhile, other software will integrate data from the shop floor to its management team – which includes Tim's brother Nick – providing real time electronic reporting and allowing every order to be tracked and integrated into the supply chain. "When I sat down and told the team that we needed to find a way of doing it all within one machining cell it raised a few eyebrows," Tim said. "But when we broke down the problem, we realised that the technology existed, all that was missing was the application." The LEAP engine in assembly At Safran The arrival of the Made Smarter pilot gave T&R the confidence to invest to prove the concept works. By deploying industrial digital technologies such as IIoT, automation, systems integration, data acquisition and data analytics, and cloud, T&R has found a way of reducing a manufacturing process from 90 hours to 18. The benefits Tim is understandably excited about the possibilities of this transformative project. "A unique, 'future state' manufacturing method will provide us with a significant competitive advantage over our principal customer's in-house manufacturing processes," he said. "It will reduce the number of operations, machines and man-power required to manufacture the components, providing a step change in our productivity and efficiencies." T&R forecast a 33% revenue growth over the next three years, primarily in export sales destined for the USA. This will help the regional economy by boosting GVA by £452,000 over the next three years. New machining methods and software will push the boundaries of their current manufacturing thinking and lead to up-skilling of T&R's engineering, operations and quality personnel. The future The first machine – with a 30-station robot cell capable of holding 400kg – will be in place by the end of the year. Its design has also included a second machine to contend with increases in orders. Tim said: "Our biggest customer is European, but since Brexit we have stagnated with our European partners due in the main to the uncertainties associated with our exit. As such we need to sure up future contracts and explore other world markets. "If we develop a manufacturing system which ticks all the boxes for our customer and in turn their customer, we are pitching for not three or five years, but the life of aircraft – a 15-year contract. "The investment and support of Made Smarter will create stability for the company and workforce and give us the confidence to invest in the future."

Courtship has become casual, with texts, hookups and hangouts.For Millennials in particular, who view a "date" as too much of a commitment — both in time and emotional connection — the vagaries of dating can be especially confounding.If you want someone to be your boyfriend or girlfriend, what I'm saying is, talk to them about it — out loud. It really comes down to having an explicit "determine the relationship" conversation.
Maybe you will even start keeping your tampons in the bathroom of the company, and you'll get your own drawer, keys to the apartment, and place in the fridge... A relationship implies some sort of goal for longevity and a commitment to working things out when problems arise.
A relationship is an investment in the future and is not something that should be assumed. When you decide to take that step with your significant other, there's a world in which you can imagine them as your spouse or as the parent to your children. Your significant other's mom calls you just to chat.

Things got progressively hotter, and I was invited to come over to her place the next weekend. I just can't understand what is making her so distant.Clinical psychologist Sonya Rhodes, also of New York, says a date today "transcends this sort of 'hanging out culture.' ""A date shows some special interest in a special person.A date takes it to a new level," says Rhodes, author of The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match, to be published in April.Being asked out means it's a date, but there is still uncertainty, says Emily Zurrow, 25, of Los Angeles, who works in retail."A lot of us date our friends, and that can be somewhat confusing. For that first date, the survey found 69% of men believe the man should pay, while 55% of women agree."If I'm asking the individual out, I will be paying for it," says Aaron Atkins, 28, of Santa Monica, Calif., a recruiter for a consulting firm.Anytime a friendship grows into something more, it's not an on-and-off switch. Among the survey participants, 23% said who pays for a date "depends on who initiates" and another 18% said costs should be equally split."I always offer just because I don't know whether they think it necessarily constitutes it as a date, but I let them know I don't expect them to pay," says Kim Soward, 24, of New York, who works in public relations and marketing.You've beaten out everyone else who was in the running.

Spondylocostal Dysostosis:
a.k.a. Jarcho-Levin Syndrome.
OVERALL, No incidence figures have been reported in literature.
- A rare congenital condition.
- Multiple segmentation defects of the vertebrae (M-SDV) along with rib abnormalities.
- Congenital scoliosis.
- Short-trunk compared to height with a short neck.
Klippel-Feil Syndrome:
Occurs in ~ 1 in 42,000 newborns worldwide.
- Congenital condition
- Abnormal fusions of two or more in the cervical vertebrae
- Low hairline at the back of the neck.
- Limited range of motion in the neck.

Spondylocostal Dysostosis & Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome Treatment.
The Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib (VEPTR):
Dr. Robert Campbell Jr.: Inventor of the VEPTR device as a treatment for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome
The initial procedure consists of one or more opening wedge thoracotomies and insertion of one or more VEPTR devices, one of which may include a spinal distraction hook (hybrid VEPTR device). The thoracostomies of the hemithorax are expanded maximally at the initial procedure and the devices are placed to stabilize the correction. Repeated surgeries to lengthen the VEPTR are performed on an outpatient basis at appropriate intervals to further correct deformities of the thorax and spine.Campbell RM. , Smith MD, Mayes TC, Mangos JA, Willey-Cour and, DB, Surber, J. The treatment of thoracic insufficiency syndrome associated with scoliosis and fused ribs, Presented at the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgery, March 2000, Orlando, FL.
The Titanium Rib Project:
Dr. Smith & Dr. Campbell's worked together for 13 years to perfect the VEPTR and the surgical technique. The VEPTR rod finally gained FDA approval in September 2004, becoming the first major advancement in spine instrumentation treatment since Dr. Harrington of Houston, Texas, created the Harrington Rod in 1962.
Conditions that the VEPTR has been used to treat:
- Jarcho-Levin
- Spondylocostal dysostosis
- spondylothoracic dysostosis
- Jeunes Syndrome
- Congenital scoliosis
- Missing or fused ribs
- Missing or malformed vertebra
- Kyphosis.
