KO of the week: Sam A vs Thaksinlek (videos)
Muay Thai is one of the most exciting and devastating sports to watch. Blink and you just might miss something. For the rest of swing kick month, I'll be posting a swing kick KO every week.
That's right...knock out by swing kick. You'll get to see different timing, different set ups and targets each time. Try and look out for ones that you have learned, and even some that you may not have. Today's video has been widely shared on the facebook MT community, so I thought it would be appropriate to re share here.
Stay tuned for next week's KO video!

I believe that whatever I am today is because of my upbringing and the values that my parents inculcated in me. That forms the core. People, who know me well, will agree that my biggest differentiator is having a rising professional life along with an equally happy personal life. This differentiator keeps me sorted and that reflects in every interaction I have with anybody.
I was brought up in a small town for the initial 15 years of my life and then we moved to Mumbai. This presented me a lovely mix of simplicity with focus and ambition and I think that's how I will loosely define myself.

Used it in B.C.? OK. Plan to use it down south? Not ok.
By Pat Grubb
Current U.S. enforcement of federal laws against marijuana was not expected to change when it comes to Canadians crossing the border following Canada's national legalization of pot on October 17. This was according to Todd Owens, assistant executive commissioner for Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) office of field operations. Owens held a telephonic press conference with journalists on October 16.
In fact, CBP policy had already changed as late as October 9. In September, Owens was quoted in a Politico article saying that persons involved in the marijuana industry would not be allowed into the U.S., nor would investors in marijuana companies be considered admissible.
However, in an October 9 update, CBP announced that "…a Canadian citizen working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal marijuana industry in Canada, coming to the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry will generally be admissible to the U.S. However, if a traveler is found to be coming to the U.S. for reason related to the marijuana industry, they may be deemed inadmissible."
That brought a sigh of relief not only to individual pot users – big money must also be happy. Constellation Brands, the $42 billion wine and spirits company behind Corona, Modelo and Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey, announced in August that it would invest an additional $4 billion in Canada's Canopy Growth Corporation, the world's largest marijuana company by market capitalization, raising its minority ownership to 38 percent. Seattle-based private equity firm Privateer Holdings is one of the largest investors in the Canadian medical marijuana sector with holdings in producer Tilray, Marley Natural and Leafly, the world's most popular cannabis website. Privateer has more than 350 employees and has raised well over $100 million.
Owens had told reporters that he didn't expect there to be much change at the border as a result of the legalization. Visitors who have used marijuana in the past or are determined to be drug abusers or addicts will still be considered inadmissible to the U.S. However, when asked what time period the "past" referred to, he replied it applied to before the date of Canadian legalization.
He added that officers had wide discretion and would most likely question travelers on their intended plans and activities while in the States. If the officer believed that a visitor would be likely to use marijuana during their visit, the visitor could be deemed inadmissible.

Positively spinning in 2017!
I woke up, on a working farm in Borgarnes, Iceland, to the sound of an incoming text. My daughter was back in the states so I reached for my phone immediately. "He won!" I replied, "What?" Surely, she was joking! I woke up my son. He also thought it was a joke and frantically grabbed his phone. We were in a state of shock. What did this mean? What was in store for the U.S. in 2017? How bad would it be? We sat in stillness as it sunk in; then we determinedly resolved it would not impact the rest of our time in Iceland. We walked in silence over to get breakfast at the café where we were staying. There was a stillness there as well. Over the rest of the trip, many Icelanders expressed sadness and worry for us. Luckily, they instinctively knew we were not ok with the outcome of the election. On the fight back to the US, we tried very hard to not ask "what if".
New Year's Eve has always been one of my favorite holidays. It is cathartic – a celebration of letting go and a time to embrace possibility. However, I felt trepidation about 2017. I had no idea what was going to happen, but I suspected it wasn't going to be good. After the inauguration, like most Americans I know, as soon as my eyes opened in the morning I reached for my phone. I had to know what 45 had done while I slept. Within a matter of weeks, we were all exhausted. The onslaught of bad news, absurdity, lies, and spewing of hatred wreaked havoc on our spirits. I spent a lot of time consoling others, but freaking out when no one was looking. Then I said, "Enough." I had to find a way to navigate this hostile administration while still moving forward and finding some enjoyment in life.
With that in mind and after countless conversations as a family, we decided to make radical changes in our lives hoping they would provide the opportunity to experience joy within the uncertainty. The year was still hard and as we watch the US backslide towards a country that cares even less for those that need it most – my heart continued to break. I hope I live to see the day that people unite and truly take care of each other. Until then, we must also find a way to take care of ourselves and our families so we can remember there is still beauty in the world. In 2017, I embarked on a mission to make time to find and embrace beauty. Amazing that since I set that intention – we did indeed find tremendous beauty. Here are few of the highlights!
1) Walking in a Winter Wonderland
I received a small grant to present my research at the University of Iceland! This allowed us to return to Iceland and further explore the country we love so much. Being snow lovers, a day spent wandering snowy fields was perfect. Followed up by an amazing meal at one of our favorite restaurants in the whole world – Tryggvaskáli
2) Taking a Break from City Life
One of the best parts of living in Seattle is the closeness of the mountains, alpine lakes, and waterfalls. Teneriffe Falls is one of my favorite day hikes. The sound of the water pounding down the mountain helps relieve the stress of city life. The hike is moderate and you can push yourself to the top (13.8 miles round trip) or just find a good spot along the way to picnic and relax.
3) Scouting out Scandinavia
Again, I was honored to present my research abroad. This time at the University of Örebro. Since we were in the area, it was the perfect opportunity to explore a little of Scandinavia. I absolutely fell in love with Stockholm (especially the Chokladbollar). We will certainly be going back.
4) Viewing the Vast Vigeland Sculpture Garden
Oslo welcomed us with a rare heat wave. We were completely unprepared for the heat and returned to Seattle with a tan! Not sure anyone at our jobs believed we actually went to Scandinavia on the trip. So, here's a great picture to prove it!
5) Wedding Day
Marrying your best friend under the cherry tree in your backyard is highly recommended. Our dear friend (and amazing musician), Simon Henneman officiated our "Shredding Wedding" through song – Pink Floyd Narrow Way Pt III. We were surrounded by our closest friends and Ava (our GSD) even stood by our sides during the ceremony!
6) Sunset Strolls Along the Beach
Grayland was one of my stomping grounds in the early 90s, I hadn't been back since. It was a bittersweet reunion and farewell. The sunsets, kite flying, and seafood on this part of the Washington coast are remarkable. The dogs loved beach time for sure!
7) Farm Livin' is the Life for Me
Nothing quite prepares you for the moment that your child is ready to fly solo. You spend years preparing them so they can succeed and then one day it is time for them to go. I don't think we could have found a better place for our last weekend together before we left for Mexico and my daughter literally flew off on her own (to the UK). We spent her baby years on a remote ranch in the mountains; it seemed oddly fitting to launch her into adulthood from the middle of nowhere!
8) Wowed at White Pocket
We were tipped off about White Pocket by our waitress our first night in Kanab, Utah. Her face beamed and her enthusiasm was contagious as she described hiking there. It is truly one of our highlights of the year. I think I used the word stunning more on that hike than I have in my entire life (Love it so much I also wrote about it here ).
9) Zealously Ziplining
When you are traveling the world with two adventure seekers you get talked into things! It took them days to convince me that I would miss out if I didn't go along with them. I'll be honest, I almost chickened out. Finally, I committed. It was a blast. I'd do it again!
10) Honored by Big Horn Sheep
After several days of being in crowded National Parks, we almost skipped Zion. Our journey was about natural beauty, not crowds of people. However, we were so close and didn't know if we'd ever visit the area again so we decided to go for just a few hours. It was worth battling the traffic and crowds. Standing a few feet away from Big Horn Sheep is an awesome and humbling experience!
11) Dazzled by Dia De Los Muertos
The relationship to death in Mexico is refreshing compared to what we experience in the US. Instead of ignoring or hiding it, death is represented in art everywhere. Skulls and skeletons are found in high-end galleries and murals that line the streets. Dia de Los Muertos is a magical celebration of life that brings families together to beautifully honor their ancestors. Experiencing the music, art, dancing, and alters was a privilege we will never forget.
12) Thanksgiving with Mom
If you had told me at the beginning of 2017, that I'd eat Thanksgiving dinner with my mom on the shores of Lake Chapala I would have laughed – impossible! I could not be more thankful for the opportunity to spend this time with my mom. Through my work with teens and young adults, I have repeatedly seen how they suffer because their moms don't support them in who they are. My mom may not have understood my crazy punk rock antics or life choices, but she always accepted them and let me be me. I am truly thankful for that – so thanksgiving with her was perfect!
So that's a wrap! This list doesn't even scratch the surface of what we experienced in 2017, but reviewing the beauty we found along the way makes heading into 2018 feel a little more doable. The current administration, in the US, has already assaulted almost every community my family and friends belong to (or the communities of those I served for decades). I fear what this administration is capable of in 2018. I also know I will never be able to remain silent in the face of injustice. I will continue to advocate and fight for what is right. I recommit each day to do as little harm as possible, but I also need to replenish my reserves so compassion fatigue doesn't leave me incapable of being of service. Therefore, I also re-commit to finding beauty in 2018! I will choose love over hate and continue to grab opportunities!
Thanks for going on this journey with us. May 2018 be the year that we unite like never before!
Peace, Health, and Happiness to all!

The Leven complex is the largest spirits bottling plant in Europe and the biggest within the Diageo organisation. Forty two million nine litre cases of spirit leave the complex each year and include some of the most famous names in their categories – Johnnie Walker whisky, Gordon's gin and Smirnoff vodka. The scale of the place is incredible, especially as you drive through it.
All of Diageo's single malts, such as Dalwhinnie and Talisker, are also bottled and shipped from there. Many of the malts, plus single grain from Diageo's Cameronbridge distillery that is just a couple of miles away, are stored in sixteen massive warehouses on the site prior to bottling or use. Over 1,200 people are employed making Leven more like a small town than a large factory.
The Leven Distillery can produce both single malt and single grain whisky. It can be switched to follow the procedures to make either and then every aspect of the production process – milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation and casking – can be tweaked to recreate or develop a plethora of styles. It is one of the key facilities within the Diageo innovation and experimentation programme.
However the distillery is not just used to create new flavours or working practices. It is also where production techniques at Diageo's 28 other single malt distilleries can be re-evaluated, tested, made more efficient or any current issues analysed.
|The mill
Malted barley arrives at Leven and is then ground to create grist in one of two mills. They are equipped with a traditional two roller mill as used in most single malt distilleries, but also a hammer mill that is more commonly used in brewing or grain whisky production.
The grist, which can be milled to different ratios, is then passed to a mashing vessel – this can hold half a tonne of grist and has an insulating jacket to allow manipulation of temperature, plus different water temperature steps to draw the maximum amount of soluble sugars and enzymes from the cereals.
|2x washbacks
There are four fermentation washbacks that each hold 2,500 litres of wort. These are equipped with 'dimple jackets' and these allow the distillers to control the temperature and rate of fermentation, which will give different flavours. They also experiment with different yeast strains and fermentation times. The resulting wash is around 8-9% ABV, although some higher strength experiments have been completed.
The two stills were made by Abercrombie's in Alloa and are quarter sized replicas of the stills at Royal Lochnagar distillery in the Highlands. There is one wash still and one spirit still with each having a 1,000 litre capacity. They are named Isabel and Grace after Distillery Manager Richard Cowley's children. If operated as a full distillery, Leven's annual production would be around 250,000 litres.
|Isabel and Grace
The distillers can manipulate flavours of the final spirit in a number of ways at Leven. This includes the rate of condensation and cooling of the spirit, the fill level within the still and the pressure that each still is operated at. Another feature is a series of interchangeable heads (the section between the pot and lyne arm) that recreate the different styles of spirit from within Diageo's portfolio. These are different shapes and are modelled on the still shapes of Dailuaine in Speyside, Lagavulin on Islay and Teaninich in the Highlands.
|Alternative heads
Each experiment is run through the entire distillery system for approximately one month and takes a further three months of pre-planning to ensure maximum results are achieved. The facility is designed to make sure that Diageo are at the very forefront of experimention in the whisky industry, both to develop new products and improve current working practices.
We would like to thank Diageo for allowing us to visit Leven and for the hospitality and knowledge shared by the distillery's workforce – Ewan, Hayley, Richard and Robin. The visit offered a fascinating insight in to what goes on behind the scenes in a large organisation and beyond the view of the view of consumer eyes and awareness.

The angel takes on several different forms depending on the temptation, but the devil, well he always looks like my friend Bill. Bill's a big guy, but on my shoulder he's just a little fella, maybe four inches tall, and he's usually wearing red hooded speedsuit, kind of like a Canadian speedskater, complete with horns and a pitchfork, but no tail. I call him Billezebub, and his usual refrain is "come on, don't be a wussy Mike."
Now, believe it or not, running and riding offer a lot of temptation, the lure of going too fast, too far, too soon is ever-present; if you're going to go for endurance sports you have to keep your head about you. During long training sessions and races the angel on my shoulder looks like my friend Stephanie, complete with halo, wings and a long white gown. She looks to the sky and says, "be smart Mike, be smart."
Yesterday at the Lake Youngs Ultra run Bill and Stephanie were engaged in a battle royal, a real Texas cage match.
I have to say in my defense that the plan was rock solid: my training schedule called out a two and a half hour trail run on Saturday and it just so happened earlier in the week I had stumbled onto a website for a thirty mile ultra run not more than a half hour from my house. What made this run so perfect was that it was three ten mile laps on trail around a lake. So I'll do two laps, I said to myself, perfect.
This was my first foray into the world of ultra running, (FYI an ultra is anything longer than a marathon) and I can tell you from my now vast experience that there is no such thing as a "typical" ultra runner. The only generalization that I could make was that there probably wasn't anyone under thirty, but other than that the one hundred and fifty starters came in all shapes and sizes. Other than a proliferation of clunky trail running shoes and Dirty Girl gators the crowd looked like any other group of marathon starters.
We were off at seven, there was no big fancy starting gun or canon it was just the race director, in a rather soft voice, saying "okay go." I started out at a moderate, what I thought would be sustainable pace; just cruising along keeping my eyes on the trail. I was surprised by how fast most of the pack covered the early miles. I had imagined a more, shall we say, controlled pace. Thinking back, however, this race wasn't much further than a marathon and I wouldn't be surprised if some of these guys, and gals, were enjoying the post-race bar-b-que three hours after taking their first step.
Three miles in I passed the one and only aid station – a folding table with two jugs of water – my traditional marathon strategy of running from aid station to aid station wasn't going to work. Good thing I was only going to do two laps. I hadn't put much thought into my race plan; actually I had put no thought into it other than deciding to bring a single flask of energy drink clipped to a waist belt. I figured I'd take a drink every twenty minutes and four drinks later I'd be back at the start where I could refill before heading back out for the second lap.
I have yet to find a good way to carry liquid while running, everything that I've tried bounces around so much that I end up drinking it quickly just to empty it out and preserve my sanity. A number of the runners were carrying water bottles strapped to their hands, this seemed as undesirable as the hydration packs some of the other runners had strapped to their backs. I think that the waist belt with detachable flasks is the way to go; I just have to find a system that doesn't bounce around so much.
The first lap went easy. I was mindful of my pace and was running lightly as I didn't want to bruise my feet on some of the more rocky portions of the trail. The Lake Stevens Half Ironman is coming up in three weeks and a bruised foot could really hamper my training. Back at the Start/Finish pit stop I exchanged my empty flask for a full one and took off. A lot of other runners were milling around, snacking on fruit, potato chips and Oreos, but I guess my triathlon mentality got the best of me as I dropped one flask, grabbed the other and took off hoping to gain a few precious seconds on my competition.
Three miles into the second lap I struck up a conversation with another runner, he was a lean strong runner in his early to mid sixties, and I had to up my pace to keep side by side with him. When we got on the subject of my two amazing children the miles melted away and before I knew it we were climbing the steep hill towards the pit stop. All done.
Or so I thought.
I had covered the nearly twenty miles in three hours and was feeling fine, there was a little tightness in my left quad, but all things considered I was in good shape. I could have easily handed the lady manning the clock my race number and said "I'm out." Unfortunately saying "I out" isn't all that easy. I've never DNF'd a race and I was feeling too good to start now. I re-filled my flask, grabbed an Oreo and started out on lap three.
I was less than a mile into the third lap when Stephanie appeared on my shoulder, "be smart Mike be smart." Now I admit if I were born a completely logical person I would have turned around and played it safe. This third lap could totally destroy months of meticulous training, and for what, heck I'm not even getting a shirt out of this deal. With every Stephanie there must be a Bill and sure enough he popped up on my other shoulder, "don't be a wuss Mike, don't be a wuss. You can't quit now, if you don't quit you'll never be a quitter. Today's the day man, go further than you ever have." Hey it sounded good to me.
I've read about how ultra runners oftentimes experience a mental roller coaster, going from periods where the miles slip away underfoot to dark times of self-doubt, pain and even fear. At mile twenty three I slipped into the darkness. I was nearly halfway around the third lap: too far to turn around too far to keep going. My legs were starting to go and I began walking the hills, a strategy practiced by most of the runners out on the course. Thigh and calf cramps were lurking on the margins and I began to worry that if my legs gave out how would I even get back. Would anyone even know if I were still out on the course? My wife Melony had no idea where this race even was. I had to really fight the urge to start walking, because I knew that if I did my legs would tighten up and no way would I get them running again.
By mile twenty five things started looking up, I knew I'd finish this thing, just slow down and keep those legs moving. I got through the final mile by replaying April Skies by The Jesus and Mary Chain on my Zune. I was just going for the third repeat when I saw cars in the parking lot.
The bar-b-que was fired up and many of the runners were already eating pork and chicken off of paper plates. A couple of other guys were sipping Pepsi while sitting in a kiddie pool filled with cold water. As for me, I just wanted to get home so I grabbed two sodas out of the ice bucket, loaded up the car and with a little arm assist was able to get the clutch pedal fully depressed.

What are the best brands of drumsets?
There may be some work involved in determining the best drum set brands. After all, it depends a lot on what you're looking for; different strokes for different folks. The various brands of drum sets play differently and sound different. Adding to the difficulty is the fact that there are numerous brands to consider and to try out, among which are Pearl, Gammon, Dynasty, Peavey, Roland, Gretsch, Simmons, and bfd, just to name a few.
Individual Needs
Contrary to popular belief it may not cost a fortune to buy a decent set of drums. Drums come in a wide range of quality levels and prices. So to determine which sets are best we must know what our individual needs are. Chances are that there is a set out there somewhere that's just right at a price that can be managed.
Cost verses Quality
When considering the purchase of a drum set, especially for a beginner, most folks generally look at their budget to determine what they can afford, and it's good to economize wherever possible. However even though low-end drums look good from that vantage point they may not give the best value over the long run. The better quality drums usually last longer and can be more easily traded in later for that next set. Many good-quality drums can be purchased for just a little more than the cheap sets, and they can be sold later because they hold their value. So if at all possible avoid the cheapest drums.
Drum set price is usually proportional to the drum shell hardness and the quality of the hardware. The hardness of the wood as well as the quality of the hardware also contributes to the overall quality of the sound, and how that sound changes with age.
Popular Brands
Ludwig Drums are among the most popular drum sets. The sound is high quality and the durability is top notch, and they age very well. For this reason the vintage Ludwigs are highly sought after, especially the models made in the sixties. A basic new Ludwig kit is also affordable, some sets starting at about $300.
Slingerland is another renowned drum maker that's been around a long time, making their first drum sets in 1928. The company was purchased by Gibson in 1994, and the quality of Slingerland drums remains high.
Tama is another highly esteemed drum set brand that's been around for a long time. The Tama drums have a crisp sound resulting from the use of high quality materials. The shell strength is guaranteed with a five year warranty. Metal is intentionally left out of the shells to prevent any distortion of the natural tone and resonance.
Pearl is one of the most respected drum makers in the industry. Pearl is a Japanese company founded in 1946, so they've been around for a while. The quality and durability of Pearl drums is exceptional, and today they include a lifetime guarantee to back up that quality.
Gretsch, a producer of high-quality guitars, is also in the business of creating high-quality drums. Gretsch drums are highly respected among professional drummers and are used in numerous styles of music.
The Best Choice of Drumsets
Determining the best drum set brands may take a little time and some research. Review the brands outlined on this site to get a starting point. Then try the various brands out. You'll know the right one for you when you find it.

Is the African market finally ready to fulfil its full potential? Will a new more open approach to air connectivity finally open the door to better intra-African connectivity? These are massive questions for a market that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts will see the strongest growth over the next 20 years and will be home to some of the fastest growing individual country markets in terms of passenger demand.
This new round-up will deliver some of the key aviation and travel news stories from across Africa.
- After successfully building its Addis Ababa hub, Ethiopian Airlines now launches stopover packages in Ethiopia
- Proflight Zambia adds 737-500 aircraft to meet increasing demand
- Uganda Airlines may be getting the headlines, but there are more start-ups planning flights
- Cape Verde Government outlines planned process for privatisation of TACV
- SA Express looks back to experienced hands to deliver new future
- Embraer hopes Africa sales tour helps boost E-Jet's right-sizing role across the Continent
- ROUTE UPDATE: latest route launches and announcements
- DATA SNAPSHOT: Africa system seats by business model (w/c 06-Aug-2018)
After successfully building its Addis Ababa hub, Ethiopian Airlines now launches stopover packages in Ethiopia
Ethiopian Airlines has launched a stopover package product designed to promote tourism in Ethiopia. Passengers transiting in Addis Ababa may choose from stopover offerings from Ethiopian Holidays, including sightseeing in Addis Ababa, Axum, Lalibela, Harar, Gondar, the Blue Nile, Simien Mountains, Hawassa, Arba Minch and Kaffa. International visitors may access an online e-visa service for processing stopover visas. Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Tewolde GebreMariam says: "Ethiopian is working with all stakeholders in the tourism chain to make Ethiopia a tourism destination of choice… With the stopover packages, we aim to attract a significant portion of our transit customers in Addis as tourists and to considerably enhance the flow of tourism into the country".
Proflight Zambia adds 737-500 aircraft to meet increasing demand
Proflight Zambia has added a 114-seat Boeing 737-500 aircraft to its fleet to meet increased demand on services from Ndola to Livingstone and Durban, citing a "noticeable growth" in passenger traffic in 3Q2018. The aircraft will help meet demand while the airline awaits delivery of one Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft from Canada. "We feel compelled to add a bigger aircraft to our fleet to meet the high demand on our domestic routes, specifically Lusaka-Ndola," says Captain Philip Lemba, director of government and industry affairs at the airline. According to a recent Zambia Airports Corporation report, passenger numbers have increased by 12.4% to date in 2018 compared to the same period last year, due to reduced fares and the introduction of more domestic flights.
Uganda Airlines may be getting the headlines, but there are more start-ups planning flights
Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority has announced that the new national carrier, Uganda Airlines, is not the only company planning to commence flights or continue activities in the East African country. It confirms that Africana International Air Services, Kampala Aero Club and Flight Training Centre, Kampala Executive Aviation, Kush Air Uganda, Uganda National Airlines and Ugawings Aviation have all applied for the grant or renewal of air service licences.
Cape Verde Government outlines planned process for privatisation of TACV
Cape Verde's Government has confirmed the go ahead for the proposed privatisation of Cabo Verde Airlines (TACV). According to official documentation, it will be undertaken through three share sales comprising the direct sale of 39% of share capital to institutional investors, a direct sale of 51% of share capital to a strategic partner and the sale of up to 10% of share capital to employees and Cape Verdean nationals. The strategic partner is required to have relevant experience in international air transport, technical and managerial experience in aviation and the necessary financial capacity and will not be able to sell shares to another party for a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 years. The equity for employees and Cape Verdean nationals will be offered at a discount of up to 15%. If the allocation is not taken up in full, the government says it may sell the remaining shares to the institutional investors or strategic partner. The government reported expressions of interest from 20 entrepreneurs and companies.
SA Express looks back to experienced hands to deliver new future
South Africa's Department of Public Enterprises has announced the appointment of Siza Mzimela as SA Express acting CEO as current acting CEO Matsietsi Mokholo takes up a new position at the Presidency. Ms Mzimela is a former CEO of South African Airways (SAA) and was part of the ministerial intervention team appointed in May-2018 to stabilise SA Express' operations, its finances, and to identify options to recapitalise the airline given its immediate short term liquidity problems. This experience makes her "well-positioned" to take over the functions of SA Express says the airline's board.
Embraer hopes Africa sales tour helps boost E-Jet's right-sizing role across the Continent
Brazilian manufacturer Embraer has concluded a sales mission across Africa with its Embraer E190-E2 prototype during which it visited Algieria, Morocco, Kenya, Ghana, Mauritius and South Africa. Embraer Commercial Aviation VP sales for Middle East and Africa Raul Villaron says: "some of the airlines for which we presented the aircraft are already an E-Jet operator and eager to know more about the E2s". Embraer notes the majority of capacity in Africa is above the 150 seat segment, however 70% of intra regional and domestic services operated with narrowbodies have fewer than 130 passengers on each service. The company said this results in low frequencies, with 70% of intra Africa routes operated less than daily, and average load factors of approximately 60%. Mr Villaron adds: "Embraer's priority is to continue to grow our customer base in the continent".

Kylie Jenner Covers 'Paper Magazine' & Looks A Little Different Than Usual — PHOTO
While the youngest Jenner is no stranger to gracing magazine covers, her newest editorial is all sorts of amazing. Kylie Jenner's Paper Magazine cover was released on her Instagram today, sharing that the issue will be on news stands April 12.
The April issue's theme is "YOUth" where, according to Paper Magazine, they will be covering the music, art, fashion, and entertainment leaders that we love and deserve to be celebrated. So why Kylie Jenner? Well, as an entertainer that grew up on TV, a beauty mogul and fashion designer, who better deserves to grace the cover?
And staying true to that youthful spirit, the interview that will be shared in the April issue was comprised of questions that were sent as DMs to their Instagram. This is perfect, seeing how the cover looks like an Insta photo. Paper explained, "She's literally grown up on our screens since she was nine years old and, in that spirit, we turned to our phones for our cover story, asking fans and followers to send questions to us via Instagram DMs. In the resulting interview, Kylie shares her thoughts on fame, family and the future."
Should be an interesting read. And if the cover gives us any idea, then the questions should be centered around our idea of perfection and how we want our celebrities to give off that front.
The majority of us put on a face when we leave our apartments and are exposed to possible judgements, and that would only apply tenfold to somebody with celebrity status like Jenner. It might be a stab in the dark, but with the doll-like feel of the cover, the exaggerated features, and the glamorous touches like the silk gloves and the pastel fur, I could be on to something.
While Jenner is the main attraction in the issue, she's not the only creative highlighted. Paper provided, "Elsewhere in the issue, young creatives shaping culture guest edit a stacked collection of art, essays, photos and more; we meet the leaders of the new generation (aka the cool kids we all follow on Instagram); and hang out with the bands and singers whose music provides the soundtrack to our nights right now."
So whether you're a die-hard Jenner fan or not this issue will have something for everyone, filled with art, tastemakers, young entrepreneurs, and go-getters that will inspire us.

On one of those days when you've been open two hours without a single shopper walking through the door, how can you turn things around? Try these Ideas to Attract Customers Locally.
5 Ideas to Attract Customers Locally
Ideas to Attract Customers Locally: Idea #1 – Take advantage of your current customers.
Not literally! Don't scare your current customers away by being over-eager. Prospects, like most people, can smell desperation. Try engaging with them in a positive manner. Offer them a complimentary service then ask them to leave you a review! It's a win-win for both of you!
Ideas to Attract Customers Locally: Idea #2 – Offer a sale.
People are attracted to sales, especially if it's one that seems as if it's "buy or die". A "Limited-time Only" sale would fit perfectly. Make sure your prospects or potential clients are aware of this urgent sale! Email them! Make videos, flyers, & take pictures! The more you promote your sale the more prospects you receive.
Ideas to Attract Customers Locally: Idea #3 – Make it Mobile.
Let's face it, this is a digital era. Most people are on their phones, tablets or computers. Why not make your services more accessible for your prospects? Apps are one of the best ways to attract local customers! If you own
Ideas to Attract Customers Locally: Idea #4 – Offer something tangible.
Although this is a digital era, most people are susceptible to buy something if they have it in their hands. Make sure you offer a product that they can hold rather than have it digitally. Don't forget to market them as well!
Ideas to Attract Customers Locally: Idea #5 – Reward them!
Reward your customers! They're loyal & buying from you! Make them feel appreciated. They are humans like the rest of us & I doubt they would mind a little reward. Besides, I can't name one time anyone in history has ever complained about feeling appreciated!

Hope you guys enjoyed! Thank you for reading our blog on Ideas to Attract Customers Locally.

Ducati's 'This is X' promotion has been more annoying than most, showing absolutely nothing of substance until now. The latest video gives us glimpses of what looks like a Ducati Diavel – and given that we're assuming 'X' is all about new models, it's likely that this is the belt driven version that has been captured undergoing testing earlier this year.
We've taken some images from the video and done our best to brighten them to catch any hidden details. The headlight, rear lights and wheel all look similar to the existing Diavel. There was some conjecture that we might not see the belt driven version until next year given that Ducati released an updated Diavel Carbon just a month ago, but it would seem now that both models will exist side by side – and perhaps the new belt driven version will go under a completely different name.
The official unveiling will be next week when EICMA kicks off on 16 November.

Too many cats are resistant to memorizing jazz standards, or any music pieces for that matter-classical etudes, pop music, etc. Either the aspiring musician or student is lazy, or they don't realize the value of memorization and truly internalizing a tune. Knowing it inside and out-the form, the melody, every chord, its arpeggio and possible chord scales, every modulation, and every unique feature of the composition.
Mingus was notorious for demanding that his sidemen memorize his tunes and their parts. He was bizarre in so many ways, tempestuous and tyrannical, a colorful and controversial bandleader, but he understood the value of memorization. Mingus required his musicians to internalize the tunes. Very little written music was handed out at rehearsals. He would sing the parts to each musician (or play them on bass) and he was fond of calling this method of conveying music "head charts" because that's where he wanted the tunes.
When you memorize things, you stretch your brain and keep it nimble. You build syntactical pathways and expand your capacity for storing knowledge. Be it a song, sonnet, or soliloquy, when you memorize something, you learn it better, understand it more deeply, recall it quicker, and more fully commit it to the deepest recesses of awareness. And what is the result when you memorize jazz standards in this way? You play better. You free up your mind so you can focus on creative expansion, and devote yourself to interpreting, embellishing, and riffing on the tune.
So why not set some goals regarding this practice. Make them reasonable and attainable. Can you thoroughly memorize one jazz standard in a week? Or do you need two weeks, or a month? It doesn't matter how long it takes, only that you embark upon the process. Go slow, do it right.
Nice website! Your blogs are well written, insightful, and benficial. It helps to read what you've been saying all along. I'm committed to a renewed effort of more memorization and less speed.
Thanks, Richard

"I've been jonesing for a Kindle for weeks now, and since I can't get the real thing just yet, I thought I would make a Kindle cake to show my love." says Lilpeapod.
Okay, so you can't turn the page, but you can't eat your Kindle and read it too.

Jared Kimble, life sciences product specialist consultant at DXC Technology, writes about how regulatory intelligence can be utilised by life science companies.
Real-time data
Today, data both structured and unstructured is being generated and collected faster than ever before. In life sciences, structured data includes that from clinical trials, regulatory filings, manufacturing and marketing, drug interactions and real-world evidence. Unstructured data comes from the internet of things (IoT), such as social media forums, blogs and so on. Massive quantities of data are both overwhelming and useless without regulatory intelligence to make sense of it.
In this context, regulatory intelligence refers to taking multiple data sources and putting those into a system that can look at the data, analyse it, find trends, collect information from it, and then distribute that information it to relevant stakeholders and authorities. This could be to regulatory agencies requesting updates or information about the drug portfolio to satisfy compliance mandates, to partners that you're working with, such as trading partners, or it might be consumed internally.
While it is referred to as regulatory intelligence, it goes beyond that and encompasses many other areas of the product life cycle, from early stage clinical research, to development for detailed analysis and safety, to pharmacovigilance for signal detection. Life sciences companies can use these types of data for real-time decision making to protect public safety, respond to supply shortages, and protect or advance the brand — for example, into new indications or new markets.
The benefits of using data
As data is consumed across life sciences in different ways and by different stakeholders, being able to provide intelligence requires clear targets and objectives. For example, real-world data may show adverse events that weren't detected in clinical trials, by having that intelligence early on it allows companies to act accordingly — both to protect public safety and to safeguard brand reputation. The specific course of action will be dictated by what the data shows, and primarily by what the regulatory agencies require. It might simply be to reinforce a message about drug-drug interactions or foods to avoid while taking specific medications, or it might require a broader response.
Data can also be leveraged through real-time strategic decision making to support the brand. For example, IoT data or data held by the authorities might show a weakness in a competitor's product or in the market — perhaps a gap in a region the company has begun targeting. Using the intelligence from the data, companies can take advantage of those gaps or competitor weaknesses and promote their brand as a better alternative or prepare a new market launch.
Regulatory intelligence from IoT sources, physicians' blogs or positive side effects in clinical trials can also highlight other potential indications for a product. The most famous example is Viagra, which was initially studied as a drug to lower blood pressure. As was the case here, not all side effects are negative, and during clinical studies an unexpected side effect led to the drug being studied and ultimately approved for erectile dysfunction. By having this information available it enabled a case to be made for expanding the clinical study extending therapeutic use.
Extracting intelligence from data
Now that we have explored the definition of and some purposes for regulatory intelligence, we should also look at how you get from that point of data to intelligence. The initial step is to find and utilise the most suitable and effective analytical tool to sift through that data and pull out relevant information. In order to make use of that data, the end goal must be known, then the scope of the data search can be narrowed to eliminate extraneous data.
With the ever-increasing amount of data available, automated collection and analysis is required to avoid wasting time and resources. Automated robotic processes make it possible to keep up to date with the latest findings and pull relevant data into your regulatory operational environment. Without regulatory intelligence, real-time strategic decisions across research and development can't be made, as such, its importance to the organisation can't be overstated.

Park Acquisition & Development
Long Range Development
Long Range Development
The following projects are contained within the adopted FY2020-2025 Capital Improvements Program (CIP), either under design and/or construction, with completion scheduled sometime in FY2023 through FY2025.
Othello Regional Park – Phase 2
Construction of the Phase I Development was initiated in FY2019. The Phase II Development project will focus on providing additional athletic fields and facilities/amenities to address sports and recreational needs of County residents. Potential new amenities could include shelters, trails, parking lots/roadways and a recreation center. Design is scheduled for FY2024.
Playground Replacement and Reconstruction
The Division of Parks and Recreation is currently evaluating the park systems' existing playgrounds to determine which areas have reached the end of their respective service life. The evaluation would also identify and address outdated playground equipment and any safety issues to park patrons. In addition to replacing equipment that will meet both the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), playground surfacing will also be retrofitted with either bonded rubber for sites that are not within a floodplain or rubber interlocking tiles for sites that are. This project would identify and prioritize existing playgrounds and provide for the replacement of one or more per year. Costs would also include demolition of existing playgrounds, as well as any improvements, expansion, and/or repairs to playground curbing, and any surrounding walkway/trail connections. Design/build for this project is scheduled for FY2025.
Parks Systemic
This project anticipates future maintenance required for park components that have reached the end of their life cycle, including but not limited to: shelter roof replacements; fencing; repair and paving of parking lots and paths, including sidewalk and curb; replacement of park signage, security cameras, etc.
Bikeways / Trails Program
The Frederick County Bikeways and Trail Plan is in the process of being updated to assist County Staff in identifying and planning for sites and areas to develop potential trail corridors in the County. In this CIP request, the County will be scheduling alternating design and construction funding years from FY2020 to FY2023. Funding may be needed and used for potential trail acquisition or easements, as needed. County Staff will also look at utilizing 50/50 matching grants from the Federal Transportation Enhancement Grant Program (TEP) for eligible trail projects.
