Sling Tv is available on a number of apps, however it has developed further on Roku and AirTV, with AirTV being the most popular device for Sling.
To assist new Sling subscribers they are giving away a free device for all members who prepay for 2 months. The AirTV Mini retails at $79.99 whilst the Roku Express retails at $29.99.
Get Free AirTV Mini or Roku Express >>
Roku Express
The Roku express is a simple out of the box budget option for upgrading any TV to a digital entertainment system.
Roku's main selling point after its low price is the idea that it acts as a 3rd party streaming service with apps for Netflix, Amazon and Apple whereas devices from these companies directly often lack apps to their competitors.
The remote has Buttons to access Netflix and other apps directly without having to navigate, however the remote also feel cheap with big clunky buttons. It does not feel like it will last . This brings me to the overall build and quality which to be honest feels cheap.
Another huge drawback is the fact that to set-up your device you have to enter payment details even though you are not buying anything? This makes it more likely that you are to make in app purchases in the future. There is a way round this but you have to contact Roku support directly.
It is a great cheap and cheerful option for getting streaming services including Sling among many other apps on the Android Library, but please consider it is an entry level device so picture quality on large TVs is not great.
AirTV Mini
The AirTV Mini is made in conjunction with Sling and as such is advertised as the official streaming device for the service. This does give some distinct software benefits with the overall speed of the Sling App working very fast with no lag. It also includes a direct Sling button allowing you to quickly load up your Sling TV.
Compared to the Roku is instantly more premium in terms of build quality meaning we suspect it will be likely to last must longer.
Like Roku it is also Android powered and has all 3rd party apps that you could want.
The Sling TV app interface is nearly identical to Roku except it has a direct link to Netflix and it has a local channels interface. However the Local Channel interface requires a connection from your aerial to pick up your local stations, this unfortunately comes at extra cost if you have not already got this set-up.
The picture quality is also far better. As Sling TV now offers 4k content naturally its official streaming device needs to be able to provide the same.
As a Techy I would personally go for the AirTV Mini as I appreciate the extra quality on my large 4k TV. However if you are installing in a kids bedroom or perhaps an elderly parents house and just trying to bring them a little into the 21st century then the Roku Express is a great cost effective way of achieving this. Unfortunately as you need to pay 2 months upfront for your Sling TV subscription to get this deal you will not be eligible for the Sling TV free trial.

July 8th, 2016 – After spending a few days since our trip we are settling back to our routine. I decided to go to my local running shop to buy new shoes. To my dismay, the running store near me has closed down. I ended up going to The Running Room located close to St. Paul.
I ended up having a pleasant experience shopping here. My customer rep was extremely insightful as well as cheerful. I ended up buying a new pair of shoes that I am more than satisfied with. I cannot wait to break them in on my next run.

Finally, the day came when the trade operations at the Gwadar Deep Sea Port began. If one takes into account the huge trade openings this port is going to offer to Pakistan and, of course, the connected world, the impression about this port being a "Game Changer" would not be surprising as it would be a tie-rod between China, Pakistan and Middle East, Central Asian states as well as the world at large.
Technical reports done on the port site suggest that Gwadar is a major gift Pakistan from nature. Its ground position is naturally developed having the capacity (after fully equipped) to cope with all future shipping and trade requirements. The Gwadar port is the focal part of the over 50 billion multi-sector development projects under the banner of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a new height of decades old and time-tested friend of China. If Gwadar is developed as per plans between the Chinese and Pakistan governments, it will be one of the most booming port cities of Asia.
The Gwadar Port, which is about 120 kilometres to east of Iran, 460 kilometres by sea and 630 kilometres by road to Karachi and 970 kilometres to Quetta, has become the marine outfall of CPEC due to its ideal geographical conditions that offer various possibilities for its future development. Besides, CPEC is the link between Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st century's Maritime Silk Road thereby making Gwadar Port the important point to connect Silk Road with Maritime Silk Road.
The port bears the potential not only to bring economic turnaround not only for Pakistan but also to benefit all 80 states directly or indirectly connected with the China's "One Belt, One Road initiative". The Chinese leadership planned this initiative with the philosophy of promoting peace, cooperation and a new concept of modern diplomacy based on shared goals of prosperity and a project to eliminate poverty, unemployment and under-development.
Gwadar port is all set to have more trade volume capacity than that of Karachi and Port Qasim combined. Last month Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the regular trade activities from the port with a ship taking around 250 containers from the port.
It seems that the strategic position of Pakistan, which has been a curse from a historical perspective, is finally transforming into a promising treasure holding immense rewards for the nation. As the future plans attached with the Gwadar port are concerned, the city of Gwadar would be having an international airport and power plant for this port city.
According to initial estimates, Gwadar port will develop multi-layer operational mechanisms to accommodate high class ships carrying upto 18,000 containers, transport 500 million cubic feet liquefied gas to Nawabshah through 711-kilometer long pipeline which would be part of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline.
M/s Arthur D. Little, who has designed the Gwadar Port Master Plan (GPMP) and set 2005-2020 as short-term, and 2021 -2055 as long-term development planning, expects freight sources from urban development, industrialisation process, operation of the port, including petrochemical products and those relevant to heavy industry and manufacturing. The short-term forecast for Gwadar Port throughput is 42-65 million tons, with liquid bulk and containers as the main contributors while the long-term forecast for Gwadar Port is 321-345 million tons.
Main projects under the expansion plan would be Multipurpose Terminal Expansion to the east, Container Terminal, Liquid Bulk Terminal, Clean Dry Bulk Terminal, LNG Terminal, Petroleum /Petrochemical Terminal, Dry Bulk Terminal and Breakwater.
In a wider perspective, the Gwadar port is the culmination of the trail of projects in various sectors especially electricity generation, construction, information technology, renewable energy, roads networks, rail links, infrastructure, shipping, warehouses, management, etc. On the other hand, the port would be front door to the outer world from China and Pakistan's perspective. According to the agreements signed under the CPEC initiative, the Chinese government has offered Pakistan a total of 27,000 Megawatts of additional energy that would go a long way in not only overcoming the power shortfall in the country but also reducing the electricity cost.
Chinese firm, Guangdong Logistics Industry Association, has shown interest in opening a large exhibition centre in the Gwadar Port where more than 50,000 Chinese products and brands can be displayed. Similarly, Chinese investors from southeastern provinces have also showed interest establish "Maritime Silk Route" between Guangdong and Gwadar via sea.
The tail of development does not end here as the future development projects are still in the long queue. Three leading industries including heavy industries such as steel making, manufacturing industry and petrochemical industry have also been lined up for the region. In short, the whole region is set to see the economic turnaround with Pakistan getting the direct huge benefits of this whole project.
This would be the first time where a country (China) deliberately and unequivocally has given a direct incentive for growth to the manufacturing and production sectors in another country. This is just one of the features that are coming to light with the development of Gwadar.
At this stage when the country is set to see the dawn of sustainable progress, which is the desperate need of its people, politicising the CPEC issue by certain political forces in the country is highly regrettable. Those raising criticism over the CPEC route or claim that their province is being ignored in development projects related to this route must understand that their uncalled for hue and cry is no service to the country and its people. Parliament is the better platform to raise such issues and the government has repeatedly invited these political groups particularly Pakistan Tehree-i-Insaaf to the parliament and discuss these issues. But unfortunately they won't do it.
Now the time has come to display political integration in the country and focus on better future of the country. We all must realise that the development and progress Pakistan is going to achieve in near future through CPEC is not acceptable to those states who are hostile to Pakistan. Gwadar should be the ultimate focus for the people and government of Pakistan as there is no other option left to materialise the dream of sustainable prosperity.

African century journal ISSN 2514-5673
'I am a man, nothing human is alien to me' – Terence the African.
This peer-reviewed journal was started in 1999 at the dawn of the 21st Century.
This is our seventh issue of the relaunched journal.
In this issue our focus is on 'constructed silences'. Matters which Western academia has chosen to not mention. This can be distracting for Black scholars who think they have a mission to tell Western academia what they think they have forgotten and wonder why the results of their efforts are universally abysmal.
We look at the wok of Gerald Horne and Charles Mills, we look at the rights and role of women in ancient Africa. We consider the place of the French Revolution in Kant's thinking and how the French abolition of slavery has become a well kept 'constructed silence'. Then we turn to Calvinism and Armenianism. This latter is the first step in a complex argument about the place of genocide in early Protestant thinking.

Whether your dentist refers you to our office, you have pain or symptoms causing you concern, or you simply have questions you would like answered, please contact our office today to schedule an appointment. We are here to answer your questions and provide the treatment you deserve!
I have been seeing Dr. Porcu since I was a teenager. I am now 40 years old with a child of my own. He is always very thorough, explains all the options to me, from a simple filling, to an impression for a mouth guard, etc...He lets me know all of my options. He is very caring, and the work he has done has lasted all of these years without having to be replaced, etc... so the quality is good! I took my son there for his first visit at 3 years of age. Dr. Porcu put me in the chair with my son on my lap and examined him. Later, when my son needed a cavity filled at 6 years of age, Dr. Porcu, with his excellent chair-side manner, put my son at ease...so much so that my son never cried or even called out to me during his novacaine shot or the drilling, etc... I was so impressed! I have seen pictures of other dentists offices that cater to children, with all the games and decorations, etc... but I wonder why one would need all that from the moment that the Dentist himself puts the kids at ease...with his calm demeanor, and the way he speaks to them. I am truly very happy with Dr. Porcu, and his staff (the cleanings twice a year performed by his awesome hygienist) that I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dear Dr. Porcu, Just a short thank you to your and your staff. During my tooth "emergency" you and your team made me feel so comfortable. While my anxiety level was so high, you and Lina quickly diagnosed my problem, promptly took care of the pain, kept me calm and acted respectfully and professionally but at the same time treated me like family!! The work that you perform Dr. Porcu is always top of the line and the care and concern of those who were in the office that day and the days for my follow-ups are exemplary. Thank you Dr. Porcu, Lina, Nicole and Margaret. Warm Regards.

Boozt is an online e-commerce with high end, premium products. They are targeting the consumer with a "nordic" mindset and has a 95% of it's customer base primarily from the Nordic countries.
There has been an opening in the market for launching a cosmetics feature in relation to their normal variety of clothes and more and the aim from here on is tho increase the basket value with suggestions the cosmetics as add on to the purchase
Develop a strategy to reach 20% in the company's revenue stream that derives from cosmetics sales as supplementary products, within the next four years.
How can Boozt improve sales by using existing customer data, and acquire more in the process?

There has been found to be a difference in the target groups where the older segment find shopping a full outfit or a package deal is very possible and attractive to them, whereas the younger segment does not want to purchase a whole look, as it makes it feel cliche and not like they are unique.

Boozt is considered being the business of data and so the goal here would be to develop a solution that supports the collection of data from its users. So the campaign would cover the offline and online segments. This will relate in using a customer journey that attracts new customers and the already existing customers.
After the research the focus is on haircare, skin and body hair as well as fragrances.
In the early stages of the sign on of the already existing account or as the customer registered, they will get a selection of four to five basic questions which will relate to their body types, such as type of hair, dry vs. oily skin and more. This will give insight in the user and their preferences and contribute more data about the customers where Boozt can easily target with more relatable products as the cross sell over the site. There will also be a reordering of some of the content on the site in terms of placement. Here Boozt has the freedom to user the data and portrait banners and campaign links for the cosmetics and also add the selection of cosmetics on each product page and follow with these till the end of the converted purchase.
As for the offline based campaign, there has been suggesting that machine learning could enhance the awareness and create interest amongst potential customers. The system will be displayed as virtual realty screen that scans and analyse the human and project suggestions for clothing, colours and other items. When the suggestions and the scan has been finalised, the user can proceed to scanning a QR code or simply visit the website or download the app, for what ever they prefer where they will be asked to sign up, this to accumulate data from the user to begin target online.
A possibility here is that the machine learning system is new and the physical size is large and recognisable in the crowd and will bring attention, and lead to results in data collecting by users who find this interesting.

Create a Winning Lead Dialogue: How to Optimize Your Contact Strategy
Nothing in this world is pure, and direct mail is no exception. Direct mail isn't purely a marketing medium. When done properly, it's a combination of marketing and sales. Review the best direct mail programs you can think of; they will all reflect this fact.
Given the close relationship of marketing and sales, creating great direct mail requires that you:
• work to avoid some of the critical mistakes even seasoned professionals fall into;
• be able to adjust your lead flow and quality to the needs of your sales team; and
• get maximum value out of every lead.
Go Far Enough … but Don't Go Too Far
First, let's talk about the two critical mistakes that even seasoned direct marketers make. Remember these words: lead generation. Direct mail is not an awareness tool.
Print, television, radio and outdoor advertising all are more cost-effective ways to get your name in front of the right people. Direct mail can be up to 1,000 percent more expensive on a cost-per-touch basis. Besides, when was the last time you saw people gathered around the water cooler talking about the amazing piece of direct mail they just got? Unless you hang out with me, you just won't see it.
A second mistake that too many direct marketers make is they try to take the lead too far down the sales process in the first communication. Push prospects too far too fast, and you'll lose them. If you have salespeople, use them. It's not direct mail's job to close the deal.
At the first stage of the process, you're just giving them enough to realize that this product, service or idea is something they need to learn more about, and that it might just save their lives, make them rich, etc. All you have to do is get them to the point where "it might just …".

Travel Guide Lesser Sunda Islands Bali Jimbaran
Jimbaran has a tropical climate with hot, humid conditions. Temperatures are mostly between 30 and 32 °C during the day and nights are still well above 20 °C. The April-October period is the dry season and November-March is the rainy season, though showers are still possible during the dry season and periods of dry weather occur during the monsoon season.
Getting There
By Plane

It is the third busiest airport in the country and now meets international aviation security standards. The airport has extensive international service and good domestic service, including flights to Jakarta, Surabaya, West Papua, Borneo, Sulawesi and Sumatra. Pretty much every country in the Asian and pacific region can be reached directly by flights from this airport.

You can use the form below to search for availability (Travellerspoint receives a commission for bookings made through the form)
Keep Connected
Internet is becoming more widely used in Indonesia, and warung Internet (warnet) - Internet cafés - are emerging everywhere. A lot of restaurants and cafés in big cities normally have wireless internet available for free. Internet connection speed in Indonesia varies between ISP and location. Prices vary considerably, and as usual you tend to get what you pay for, but you'll usually be looking at around Rp3,000 to Rp5,000 per hour with faster access than from your own mobile phone. In large cities, there are free WiFi hotspots in many shopping malls, McDonald restaurants, Starbucks cafes, 7 Eleven convenience stores, and in some restaurants and bars. Some hotels provide free hotspots in the lobby and/or in their restaurants and even in your rooms.
See also: International Telephone Calls
You can use 112 as an emergency number through mobile phones. Other numbers include 110 (police), 113 (fire) and 118 (ambulance).
The international phone code is 62.
If you have GSM cellular phone, ask your local provider about "roaming agreement/facility" with local GSM operators in Indonesia (i.e.: PT Indosat, PT Telkomsel, PT XL Axiata). The cheapest way is buying a local SIM card, which would be much cheaper to call and especially use internet compared to your own cell phone's sim card.
The Indonesian mobile phone market is heavily competitive and prices are low: you can pick up a prepaid SIM card for less than Rp 10,000 and calls may cost as little as Rp 300 a minute to some other countries using certain carriers (subject to the usual host of restrictions). SMS (text message) service is generally very cheap, with local SMS as low as Rp129-165, and international SMS for Rp400-600. Indonesia is also the world's largest market for used phones, and basic models start from Rp 150,000, with used ones being even cheaper.
Pos Indonesia provides the postal service in Indonesia. Pos Indonesia is government-owned and offers services ranging from sending letters and packages to money transfers (usually to remote areas which have no bank branch/ATM nearby) and selling postcards and stamps. Sending a postcards, letter or parcel is relatively expensive, but fairly reliable. It takes several days at least to send it within Indonesia, at least a week internationally. It is recommended to send letters from a Pos Indonesia branch, not by putting it inside orange mailbox (called Bis Surat) in the roadside, because some of the mailboxes are in very bad condition and aren't checked regularly by Pos Indonesia. Opening times of post offices usually tend to follow general business hours: Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm (sometimes shorter hours on Fridays), Saturdays from 8:00am to 1:00pm, closed on Sundays. Bigger cities, tourist areas and central post offices tend to keep longer hours, into the evenings.
Private postal services based in Indonesia include CV Titipan Kilat (CV TIKI), Jalur Nugraha Ekaputra (JNE), Caraka, and RPX. There are also foreign postal services that have branches in Indonesia, including DHL, TNT, UPS, and FedEx.

This high pressure and warmer weather's been over the Lakes since Friday, so we thought we'd have a run out on the Cyclocross bikes today.
Graham running an awkward section, on the way up to Farleton Knott
It was great to get out and stretch the legs, after the Brockhole event last weekend. Graham led me around one of his training runs, up onto Hutton Roof and then up and over Farleton Knott.
The ground was still hard and frosty from last nights freezing temperatures, which meant we had to take it a little easier on some of the steeper sections.
Graham descending off Hutton Roof
The air was crystal clear with fantastic views back across to the Howgills, Whernside and Ingleborough and North West across to the Old Man of Coniston, Gimmer, Pavey and the Central Lakes.
It just felt great to be out, not racing and able to just chew the fat and enjoy the day.
Enjoying the view from the summit of Farleton Knott
Graham's a long time mate and seasoned rider based here in the Lakes and there isn't many roads he hasn't cycled both here and in the Alps. But like me Graham's more recently been enjoying Cyclocross and it was inspiring to hear him talk so enthusiastically about it.
Graham coming off the summit of Farleton Knott
If you're into road cycling then check out the Cyclocross, you won't be disappointed.
I'm already checking the weather for our next run out!
I'm already checking the weather for our next run out!
Having said that, with the overnight temperatures below freezing and the daytime temps also dropping, it won't be long before I'm also getting out on the hill again hunting out the ice.

Has anyone watched the movie, The Internship? It is a beautiful story of how people fight for what they want even when they have passed their opportunities to do so. I have always wondered if there are any internships in Singapore that are as cool as the one in the movie.
During my time when I was still studying, internship seems to be a far fetched term. It was not like there is google for us to search for keywords such as internship singapore or singapore internship. Neither was there anyone telling us how internship can be beneficial for our future.
Good news to all the modern lost sheeps, you can now access this website at the ease of your home to find out more about internship.
From writing cover letter to how to format your resume, Stroff has you covered. You can easily pick up tips to impress your future employer.
You can also browse through the list of internship available with companies located both locally and overseas.
If you are like me, worried about the tedious signing up process, don't worry. Signing up can be quite a breeze by filling up a very short form or by via facebook.
On top of that, you can join in the communities that offer you more updates on internships available and interesting articles for your career advancement.
So hop on now to the wagon to know more about internships. =)

Blogging/Bloggers have become crucial part of any marketing drive. The reason is simple, promotions are fine but we want general public to talk about it, otherwise what is the point of promotions. And general public won't talk about it until someone amongst them initiates. What is better than inviting those who runs opinion for many or should I say influence the conversations among their groups. But because of some underlying issues marketers are unable to leverage their influence to its full potential.
Well of course, the platform is new so everybody is going by trial n error and trying to figure out what works best for them and side by side helping the platform to become stable for marketing. But just like marketers it becomes important for bloggers as well to give up their casual attitude towards the power they hold and start utilizing it for the betterment of society, well that is the only way I can see for the bloggers to survive in market in the long run. Because today's internet savvy audience is intelligent enough to differentiate between a sponsored post and an actual user generated content. Sharing 5 of those common issues faced by the brands which bloggers should take care of:
Deleting posts: Many bloggers participate in an activity write about it, get paid and after a month or so, they delete that post. Well, there can be several reasons for that, that blogger participated in something that was not relevant for his audience, or there was a good deal of money involved, or he had no projects at that point of time, in any of the cases its not just the brand which is getting affected but even that blogger's followers are also losing interest, they are slowly losing their credibility among their audience. Also, I don't see how deleting post is going to make everything right as the deed is already done. "Can't take a fired bullet back in cylinder".
Showing up late for meetings: This is the most common issue I have heard from the brand heads, that bloggers do not take their brand seriously. Well, I guess everybody understands how the entire company is dependent on the brand value in today's world, if the brand goes down the company goes down with it. If the company is giving bloggers the due respect, then it becomes their responsibility to represent their brand and understand and take care of it like their own. Otherwise, they can choose not to be a part of it.
Accepting projects that aren't meant for them: There is a common phrase for such bloggers which is 'contest junkies'. These kind of bloggers develop some sort of traffic on their blog and go full force selling it, they take part in a project only for the freebies and the involvement of money. Such bloggers need to be identified by either working with a trusted source who doesn't let such bloggers in the community or going thoroughly through their posts to understand what do they usually write about and how many of them are sponsored posts.
Promoting but not Advocating: Some bloggers participate and write for a brand but then they either try to make the entire post politically correct or they equivocate so it doesn't look like the blogger is endorsing the brand. All it is trying to do is take the message of 'Hey, check there is a new product/service in the market' This advertisement can be done via other medium also. Why a brand is coming to a particular blogger is to get his opinion shared so his/her influence can be leveraged and capitalized upon.
Not understanding the brand: A blogger is not just a blogger when he choose to work with a specific brand. A bloggers becomes its brand ambassador. It becomes vital for him to understand the history of brand, its core value and vision so he can do justice to its present. Otherwise, by just plainly receiving a brief and writing something creative around it is not going to help a brand propel. For a brand too, it becomes their responsibility to give them a deeper sense of the organization so they can do justice and bring that emotional connect in their post.
We cannot deny the fact that the medium is new for marketing and hence everybody is trying to learn and use it to the best of their knowledge. Having said that, with more and more of errors and mistakes, more learning and maturity will be gained and thus more meaningful content will be produced for readers on which they can rely. Until then, we need to stay updated and keep our pace with the entire industry.

The young choreographers of DANSEatelier
DANSEAtelier is collective of artists and choreographers that began as an emergent idea of shared collectivity while attending the The Danish National School of Performing Arts.
Published: November 2, 2016Words: DANSEAtelier & J.Scott StrattonArtist Link: danseatelier.dk
When I was first introduced to the collective of choreographers that make up DANSEatelier, through shared friends and attending a number of the frequent events that they host at their space, I was immediately met with something that appealed to me. There is a definitive sense of individualism amongst the group, but a through a shared support and interest in the individual projects of each respective member of the collective.
Even in a Danish system, where financial support is far more extensive than I have ever experienced before, the constant and immediate pressure of finding your next meal is something that every artist is familiar with. To those brave individuals that forgo the idea of working a 9-5 and strike out with their own ideas of living a life of pure creativity, then the phrase "starving artist" is far more of an immediate threat. Thus, collectivity becomes a way to not only expand and share processes, but also a financial support system for those not integrated into the artistic funding system.
This DIY type of collective creativity is something that distantly familiar to me, as it is something that you often see in the States as a result of the overwhelming lack of artistic funding to be found and the continuous struggle with the falsity of the "American Dream". It's more practical in that regard, working more as a financial solution to the necessity of a workspace.
I can't say if that is the case with those behind DANSEatelier, but the openness of their space in combination with their individual practice and a shared visual of creative process is beautiful to me.
Every morning, they extend this support and stability through conducting a physical practice together, which I had the pleasure to be a part of one morning and witness their dynamic of both physical and verbal conversation. Once they conduct this daily practice, the remainder of the day is often reserved for personal work, either through solo practice or collaborating with others on specific works. The co-habitation of multiple practices and creative processes occurring simultaneously within the space allows the member of the group to feed off each other's work, often crossing into each other's physical and artistic pathways and deliberately allowing interference. In this way, DANSEatelier is not about scheduling time to "own" the space, but co-existence within the space.
For us, it is also a space of non-work, a space of lingering in the state of the in-between. We feel this is a state that you often find yourself in as a freelancer. Lingering together with other people is different, it becomes valuable when multiplied.
DANSEatelier began as an emergent idea while attending The Danish National School of Performing Arts. Inspired by teachers and mentors that shared their thoughts on collectivity and shared authorship, the idea of creating there our collective blossomed within the walls of the Academy, and came into fruition when they graduated. In recent months, they have had two close collaborators, dance artists and friends of atelier, that bring their number up to 12.
Hailing from four separate countries, but largely sharing the same education and history of friendship, DANSEatelier is, in my opinion, heralding in a more avant-garde generation of Danish based collectivity. While all of them partake in the notion of working and spending time with the notion of dance, they also reach out to the other respective artistic genres and invite them into their space-as they did recently by hosting installation exhibition based on the musical expression of sound-artist Alexander Holm.
Founded on the belief in shared responsibility, workload and knowledge, the collective structure of DANSEatelier provides continuity and stability when venturing off into unknown territory-something that all artists need to explore when first establishing themselves. It also gives them a way to create a community for each other which feeds into the wider Copenhagen community-which they have quickly established themselves as a facilitator of.
Knowing that the institutions in and around stage arts offer relatively cheap rental spaces to artist for practicing and developing their work, I was naturally curious as to why the collective took the financially difficult step of opening their own space. But there reason for this was one of total and complete independence. With 24 hour access to a space of their own, they have the freedom to experiment and explore rather than just produce.
"We are not defined by any big institutions or dependent on foundations and grants in order for to exist. There are many aspects of this precarious life as an artist that are project based, and we wanted a space with a longer vision."
While still a fledgling collective, DANSEatelier's "longer vision" of their space is definitely starting to resonate throughout the community, through their regular Performance Feast events, where they invite fellow choreographers to openly show vignettes or sections of the work that they are working on. The open a space where other artist can shed the burden of simply producing or only exhibiting finished work.
To me, as an outside observer to the collective mentality of DANSEatelier, it's almost as if they are aware of the bureaucracy, and sometimes elitist nature, that exists within the artistic realm, and are actively rejecting those notions by freely welcoming anyone into their space. I might be projecting my own rebellious nature on this lovely young group of choreographers, but I for one happy to see a collective that, through welcoming demeanor and innovative thinking-are raising a metaphorical middle finger to archaic traditions, and ushering in a new generation of cross-disciplinary, genre-less and borderless creative expression.

Introducing Vet Post Founder Dr. Rebecca Penman!
Some of us fall into jobs or take a few years to figure out what we truly want to do. But Rebecca Penman never had a doubt that becoming a vet was the path for her.
Rebecca's close bond with animals started in childhood. She grew up with Goldie, the family golden Labrador, and got her first horse, Bessie, at the age of four. She remembers that she always had a natural interest in animals and a strong desire to care for them.
After graduating from Massey University in 2003 Rebecca worked in several small practices throughout New Zealand. She then moved to Australia, where she worked in emergency and critical care with many animals she hadn't previously encountered such as snakes, lizards, and camels.
A highlight of Rebecca's time in Australia was when four black Labrador puppies, only seven weeks old, were brought into her practice with a serious case of Parvovirus. Rebecca and two other vet nurses had to act quickly to isolate the puppies and provide intravenous fluids and blood transfusions. After nursing them back to good health over the next three weeks, Rebecca was then gifted one of the puppies as a thank you. This was a different sort of gift from the usual occasional flowers or chocolates, and was a pleasurable surprise that she's never forgotten. Her beloved black Labrador, now called Cooper is 7 years old and lives happily with her back home in New Zealand.
Rebecca created Vet Post when she returned to New Zealand in 2015. It was borne out of a desire to address some the challenges she saw during her experience in different vet practices.
Rebecca's biggest concern was the pain experienced by owners who could not afford necessary medication for their pets, and the consequent suffering of the animals. She designed Vet Post specifically to provide a more affordable option. In Vet Post's online pharmacy owners can receive generous discounts on medications by using their prescriptions online.
Rebecca was also frustrated by not having enough time in clinic to provide all the necessary information to pet owners. That's why Vet Post is also an education hub where owners can access a wealth of knowledge, advice, and tips on pet care and treatment.
Extending its support of animal welfare, Vet Post also donates $1 of each transaction to DC Rescue Dogs, which rescues and re-homes dogs in need.

A previously well 80-year-old experienced a fall at his home where he lives alone. He was walking from the living room to the kitchen when suddenly he found himself on the ground, which he attributes to tripping on the runner rug in the hallway.
"My son has been telling me to get rid of that thing for years but I don't like getting the carpet dirty."
Unfortunately he injured his hip in the process and wasn't able to get to the phone to call for assistance, spending two days on the floor until the Meals on Wheels volunteer came by. Skin is cool and dry and his mucous membranes are dry. He has severe pain and external rotation of his left hip. You cannot assess shortening because the knee and hip are both flexed, in a position of relative comfort.
Vitals upon your arrival are:
- Heart rate: 45-65 bpm, irregular

Jackson Land & Cattle ranch is put on sale this week with a price tag of $175 million, which makes it America's most expensive home. The 1,750-acre ranch in the heart of Jackson Hole,Wyoming is owned by Richard Fields, a casino and resort developer, but not for long. The ranch is listed with John C. Pierce of Hall & Hall, a ranch real estate firm.
Only three minutes away from downtown Jackson, this large estate includes lush greens pastures with separate areas for animal grazing and even horse riding, three fishing ponds, over 800 acres of irrigated meadows and the 52 stall equestrian barn besides the view of the Tenton range of Rocky Mountains. The architect of this ranch is the famous Jonathan Foote who is known of his design work with distressed wood, glass and Montana Moss Rock which has been used in plenty within the barn.
You can fish and ride and hunt and you're still only three minutes from downtown Jackson Hole, says Jonathan Pierce, the property's listing agent.
The main house is an old barn that's been converted into a quaint three bedroom residence, while the guest accommodation has 4 rooms along with separate living spaces for staff members of the ranch. This stunning estate stands as a landmark of natural beauty encompassed into a single piece of real estate property.
It should be noted that Jackson Land & Cattle ranch carries entitlements for up to 35 homesites. That means if a buyer doesn't want all that land for himself, he can subdivide and sell parcels of it. Yet it would be good if that doesn't happen.
We are dealing with a very capable seller who is hoping for a conservation outcome on the property, although certainly not dictating that, explains Pierce. It's a signature property that the entire community would love to see someone come along that shares Mr. Fields' appreciation for the open space. [Hall and Hall]

London, Lin Hwai-min (???), founder and artistic director of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, was named an honorary fellow of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London on Wednesday.
Lin, who was in London with the theatre group for its performance of "Formosa" at Sadler's Wells Theatre earlier in the day, received the award from Mirella Bartrip, the conservatoire's director of dance.
In naming Lin as an honorary member of the conservatoire, Bartrip said he was one of the top choreographers in Asia.
In response, Lin said the recognition by one of the world's leading dance and music schools was great encouragement for him.
Lin, who came from humble beginnings and did not start learning dance until he was 23, is now known as the founding father of modern dance in Taiwan and has done 90 productions with Cloud Gate.
As an honorary fellow of Trinity Laban, he now joins the ranks of Merce Cunningham, William Forsythe, and Akram Kahn, internationally renowned dancers who have helped shaped the world of dance and choreography.
Late last year, Lin announced that he would step down as artistic director of Cloud Gate at the end of 2019 to make room for new talent.

Halloween, but with a difference
Aaron Traynor, one of a number of players to have extended their contracts at Coleraine this summer.
IT may be the off season, but Coleraine manager Oran Kearney is very much 'on' when it comes to building for next season.
New deals for several of his experienced defenders, a new goalkeeper and a number of other new faces shows that the Bannsiders' boss remains determined not to dwell on the successes of last season.
It all adds up to an exciting week for supporters who will be eager to see their favourites in action in the Europa League this week.
Gareth Deane is likely to make a first appearance in goal following his short-term swith from Linfield while the other new faces will be keen to get some game time against San Marino outfit La Fiorita.
Whether that happens remains to be seen.
For such an important game and with the stakes so high in terms of European money don't be too surprised if the manager goes with the tried and tested.

Winter Comfort Food
Harissa-Spiced Cassoulet
This North African–inspired cassoulet is chef Gavin Kaysen's nod to all the different cultures in Minneapolis, where his restaurant, Spoon and Stable, is located. "I wanted to showcase new flavors, but in a familiar format," says Kaysen. "I like seeing another culture's view of comfort food." This warming casserole is super easy, and your whole family will enjoy it all year long.
Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
Chef Gavin Kaysen of Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis updates this classic Minnesota flavor combo with fresh herbs, tender Swiss chard and an aromatic mushroom gravy. The dish is perfect for potlucks since it can be baked a day ahead.
Creamed Spinach with Fried Cheese Curds
Chef Gavin Kaysen of Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis has a version of this incredibly decadent creamed spinach on his menu. Just how much do Minnesotans love cheese curds? The restaurant sold 8,459 orders of the dish in its first 10 months.
Ricotta Gnocchi Gratin
Chef Geoffrey Zakarian uses a stand mixer to make his perfectly fluffy gnocchi with ricotta cheese.
Chocolate Babka
This amazing chocolate babka from pastry chef Melissa Weller at Sadelle's in New York City gets extra flavor in the swirl from chocolate cookie crumbs. As a bonus, the tender-crumbed babka is topped with a thick and luscious chocolate glaze.
Root-Vegetable Hot Dish with Parsnip Puree
Chef Gavin Kaysen of Spoon and Stable in Minneapolis created this hearty vegetarian dish, which features roasted root vegetables and a creamy parsnip puree, as a lighter alternative to the traditionally meat-heavy Minnesota casserole.
Roasted Mushrooms with Red Wine Butter
Instead of cooking mushrooms in a skillet, chef Geoffrey Zakarian roasts them in the oven until tender before tossing them in a buttery red wine sauce with garlic and fresh herbs.
Chickpea and Swiss Chard Chili
This smoky, rich chili from F&W's Justin Chapple is a simple one-pot dish.
Beef Stew with Dill
In this lovely, lighter-than-most beef stew, F&W's Justin Chapple simmers chuck until it's super tender before adding carrots, peas, spinach and dill.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Swiss Rolls
Fudgy cake, fluffy peanut butter filling and a chocolate ganache coating combine to form the perfect sweet indulgence from pastry chef Tiffany MacIsaac of DC's Buttercream Bakeshop.
Andouille Mac & Cheese
At The Heron, in Narrowsburg, New York, chef Paul Nanni grinds and smokes his own andouille sausage for supergenerous portions of Cajun-inspired macaroni and cheese.
Eggplant Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Add these flavorful grilled eggplants to make a great vegetarian grilled cheese sandwich.
Beef-and-Vegetable Potpie with Cheddar Biscuits
"I have a hard time getting excited by beef," Kristin Kimball confesses. "Steak bores me, and roasts can come out dry. We do a lot of ground meat, and I get tired of coming up with new ideas for it." This luscious potpie—with its buttery cheddar crust and filling mixed with parsnips, carrots and peas—would be a perfect addition to her repertoire.
Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes
If these seem too large for you, then bake and mash only four (instead of the five used here), or use smaller potatoes.
Sausage and Broccoli Rabe with Polenta
Spicy Italian sausage and broccoli rabe simmer in a flavorful tomato sauce. Served over a mound of creamy polenta, they make a ravishing, rustic Italian meal for a cold winter's night. If you like, pass grated Parmesan at the table.
Baby Spinach and Garlic Bread Pudding
This bread pudding is almost like a tart, with the croutons acting as a crunchy crust. Tender baby spinach in the filling turns incredibly silky when cooked.
Pumpkin Lasagna with Ricotta and Swiss Chard
This super-creamy lasagna is perfect for a vegetarian main course. What makes it especially unusual is that it's made without tomato sauce.
Beef Stew in Red Wine Sauce
This rich, winey beef stew is always a hit with Jacques Pépin's chef friends.
Chili with Guajillo and Ancho Chiles and Hominy
Butcher Tom Mylan of Meat Hook in Brooklyn flavors his chili with three kinds of dried chiles: fruity guajillos, smoky anchos and a New Mexico chile. After he soaks the chiles in water to plump them, he blends them to form a silky puree, which gives the chili a complex flavor.
Asiago and Sage Scalloped Potatoes
Wisconsin produces very good versions of Asiago, the hard cheese with a slightly sharper flavor than Parmesan. Sandy D'Amato recommends the Stella brand.
Macaroni and Many Cheeses
At the end of their wine-and-cheese parties, Helen Jane Hearn and Natalie Wassum gather any leftovers to make an incredible mac and cheese later in the week.
Eggplant Parmesan with Crisp Bread Crumb Topping
This eggplant Parmesan is all it should be: delicate slices of fried eggplant nestled in a bright, tangy tomato sauce, layered with gooey fresh mozzarella. The best part is the exceptionally crisp topping, made with dry bread crumbs.
Barbecued Shrimp with Cheese Grits
By happy accident, Amber Huffman combined leftovers of two low-country staples—barbecue and cheddar cheese grits—for a quick Southern fusion meal. It became a Jess Jackson favorite. Here, Huffman tops her grits with grilled shrimp slicked with a tangy, bourbon-based barbecue sauce. "I seriously have received three marriage proposals over a bowl of my cheese grits," says Huffman. "I've accepted none so far."
Veal Goulash with Paprika, Caraway and Fried Capers
At Seäsonal Restaurant and Weinbar, Wolfgang Ban makes his goulash with succulent veal cheeks; here he adapts the recipe for easier-to-find veal shoulder.
Double-Chocolate Hot Chocolate
Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito firmly believe that homemade hot chocolate is superior to any commercial mix. They make their decadent version with both bittersweet and milk chocolate and then top it with marshmallows that they make and sell at Baked.
Rich Baked Chocolate Puddings
Although this deep, dark chocolate pudding is easily made in ramekins, it's fun to bake and serve in small glass jars. Pim Techamuanvivit likes using old, mismatched jam jars.
Cinnamon-Pecan Buns
The soft and sticky dough for these baking powder—boosted sweet buns—made without butter or oil—gets its richness from pureed cottage cheese. Don't worry that the cut dough spirals look a little lost in the springform pan; as they bake, they rise and puff into a perfect round of pull-apart buns.
Whiskey-Cheese Fondue
Matt Lewis is enamored of fondue—in fact, he had a special pot made for dessert fondues at his former Manhattan shop, Chocolate Bar. His terrific cheddar-Jack cheese fondue includes whiskey, which adds a great kick.
Iraqi Lamb and Eggplant Stew with Pitas
This sweet and tangy Middle Eastern stew, with falling-apart-tender lamb, is one of wordsmith (and perfect party host) Jesse Sheidlower's favorites.

2006 Nissan Micra Coupe Convertible Spy Photos
The 2006 Nissan Micra Coupe Convertible will have the same engines as the hatchback. Rumor has it that Nissan is trying to speed up final testing to unveil the coupe convertible for Frankfurt in September and try to catch the end of the summer season. Sales will start immediately after. Another point of uncertainty is whether the Renault 1.5dCi engine will be utilized or not. If these issues are not settled by Frankfurt then a Paris premiere would also be more than appropriate since Renault owns 45 percent stake in Nissan.

As a new journalist and a senior, I'm hoping to broaden my horizons in writing and reporting by being a part of the Outlook team this year. My passions include dance; I've been dancing for almost 10 years and I'm currently aiming to get a Bachelor's degree in Indian Classical Dance this May. I love to watch/read any news and am interning as a Tour Guide and Visitor Services Rep. at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Anything related to international/national affairs is my interest and I am the current President of the Model United Nations club at Oakton, as well as a Varsity Public Forum debater. I hope to stay in-state for college and I'm planning to major in journalism or international affairs. My bucket list includes going on a road trip across the states, performing/choreographing a Michael Jackson inspired dance, and visiting Spain and South Korea. In my free time, I like to listen to music and catch up on news. As a rookie reporter, I hope to be able to relay stories related to global and local events as well as inform the Oakton community of club events and activities!

Welcome to This Weekend in Esports, a brief overview of what to watch in the world of competitive gaming for the coming weekend.
For this weekend, League of Legends' top teams in the world compete and Hearthstone's top teams from across North America face off. But we begin with one of the biggest college esports tournaments in the world.
Heroes of the Dorm - The Heroic Four
Game: Heroes of the Storm
When: May 12
Where to watch: Twitch.tv/blizzheroes
Heroes of the Storm was one of the first MOBA games to take the idea of a collegiate tournament and turn it into an event along the lines of the annual NCAA basketball tournament. It's Blizzard's answer to March Madness, emulating it to the point of inviting the top 64 college teams in the United States and Canada to compete for full scholarships.
This year's Heroic Four brings together two of the top four ranked college teams. Université Laval is the #2 overall seed and also the first Canadian team ever to make it this far. They'll be tough to beat, but they face #3 seed University of Kentucky.
Meanwhile, the #8 University at Buffalo will face off against the home team Cal Poly Pomona, based just 45 minutes away from the Blizzard Arena. While Cal Poly's squad has been a unit for several years, Buffalo carries some crazy momentum with them after having knocked off overall top seed UC Irvine.
Only one team will hoist this year's trophy and call themselves the Heroes of the Dorm. The action all unfolds on Saturday.
The 2018 Mid-Season Invitational - Group Stages
Game: League of Legends
When: May 11-15
Where to watch: Twitch.tv/RiotGames
Brace yourselves, because the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational may look slightly different than it has in recent years. Casual fans who tune in for the big events, grab a chair, because there are a few things you should know.
First off, those looking for SK Telecom T1 can stop looking. They aren't here. That's right. After a disappointing Spring Split, perennial powerhouse SKT got waxed by KT Rolster to leave them on the outside looking in for the first time ever. So then who is the team to watch out for? Well, the answer to that is Kingzone DragonX.
But wait, who's Kingzone DragonX? The answer to that, hypothetical inquisitive reader, is the former Longzhu Gaming. And with a rebranding comes great fire and fury, as Kingzone has rained down terror upon the LCK, racking up a 16-2 Spring Split record and strolling through the playoffs. With their roster of Kim "Khan" Dong-ha, Han "Peanut" Wang-ho, Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong, Kim "PraY" Jong-in, and Kang "GorillA" Beom-hyeon, they walk into MSI as the heavy favorites.
By the time this feature goes live, Kingzone will have finished its opening group stage match with North America's own Team Liquid. TL is the sole NA squad at MSI this year and their performance against Kingzone should set the tone for the rest of their journey. If they can at least lose respectibly, they should do well. If they get their doors blown off, it could be a very long MSI for North America.
Hearthstone Summer Americas Playoffs
Game: Hearthstone
When: May 12-13
Where to watch: Twitch.tv/PlayHearthstone
Hearthstone's top players are gathering across various corners of North America to compete for a chance to reach the HCT Summer Championship stage at the end of June. These are the first playoffs to be held since the release of The Witchwood and there are a few interesting things to think about.
The thought has often crossed those playing the Ranked ladder that the Hearthstone meta has grown somewhat stagnant. However, having seen the European Playoffs just last week, the meta is more varied than people might think. Beyond the Cubelock, Hearthstone players have also been packing in decks like the Spiteful Summoner Druid, Odd Paladin, Odd Rogue, Quest Rogue, Aggro Mage, and Control Priest, just to name a few. In fact, the Spiteful Druid has overtaken the Cubelock in terms of present decks. It's a fascinating dynamic.
While familiar faces like Frank "Fr0zen" Zhang, William "Amnesiac" Barton, and Muzahidul "Muzzy" Islam will be among those competing, the playoff stages can often be a coming out party for new players that the general public had never seen before. Remember that last year's Winter Playoffs prior to the Standard change was where viewers first got to meet Julian "DocPwn" Bachand and Jace "Dr. Jikininki" Garthright. Who knows what new face will come out of this weekend's top four and advance to the championship round?
So what will you be watching this weekend? Join the conversation and let us know in the comments.

HARTFORD — The XL Center arena could go on the block sooner than 2019, if the State Bond Commission approves $40 million for the aging sports and entertainment center in downtown Hartford.
The General Assembly approved the funding last month for repairs and the purchase of the adjoining atrium as part of a two-year state budget. But lawmakers also included a provision that calls for seeking potential buyers by June 2019.
Michael W. Freimuth, executive director of the Capital Region Development Authority, said the agency, which oversees the arena, is considering seeking buyers sooner.
"There is the thought that we should go sooner rather than later, remove the cloud, the anxiety over the future," Freimuth said. "It's more of a 'let's move the question.'"
The $40 million is on the agenda for the State Bond Commission's meeting on Nov. 29, the first commission meeting since May.
It's more of a 'let's move the question.'
If the authority decides now is the time to seek a buyer, the move would come just as discussions begin for renewing contracts with the University of Connecticut, the American Hockey League and for naming rights, all sources of revenue for the arena.
Critics who oppose spending state funds on the arena say it should be sold to a private owner or investors. Freimuth said seeking a sale sooner would determine if there is any interest.
An attempt by the authority to attract private investors to a redevelopment partnership drew just one response earlier this year.
Freimuth said a portion of the $40 million would likely be used to acquire atrium and other retail space near the entrance of the arena. The space — now owned by Hartford 21 owner Northland Investment Corp. — could be attractive to a potential buyer.
Part of the $40 million also could be used to make repairs sought by a buyer, Freimuth said.
No decision on the timing of the sale has been made, Freimuth said, and it would require the approval of the authority's board.
The funding approved by the legislature in October fell far short of the $125 million sought over two years by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to launch a $250 million top-to-bottom makeover recommended by the authority's board.
The authority, which controls the arena under a long-term property lease with the city, argued the arena is an essential component of Hartford's revitalization and is crucial to the survival of downtown restaurants and bars.
The renovations — a second concourse to relieve congestion and irritating waits at concessions; more premium seating lower in the arena bowl; and more restaurants, amenities and restrooms — were intended to make the arena profitable. Typically, it has been a money-loser, running a $2 million loss a year, a tab that must be picked up by the state.
A $35 million renovation of the arena was completed in 2014, but it was considered a stopgap measure until the long-term future was sorted out. Another $3.5 million was recently spent to replace the ailing, original ice-making system and make other improvements.
