X Factor Contestant
Angel Tairua
X Factor Contestant
"It is an amazing cause, you are mentally challenged through out the month but in the end it is worth it to be a healthier, better you and the money raised is given to our disadvantaged youth of Australia."
"It may be challenging, it may be hard but as a youth, I want to show my peers that you can give up something for a whole month that not only better ourselves but everyone around can be someone others can look up to. I hopefully want to be the start of this chain reaction. And that's why I want to be involved with febfast."
Angel Tairua is a young 16 year old creative artist who is passionate about music. She was born and raised in Sydney Australia, but is of Maori (New Zealand) descent. She has already achieved what many musicians could only hope to achieve, and yet she still has her whole career ahead of her.
Having started her career at the age of 10 as the lead singer of her family reggae band, Angel learnt the art of live performance very early on. Together with her band, she performed at numerous shows around Sydney, including opening for one of New Zealand's most recognized bands, 1814.<>From there, Angel's career progressed and she decided to go solo. One of her first moves was to try out for Australia's Got Talent, where she showed off her skills and made it all the way through to the Grand Final. Through her experience on the show, she gained a lot of exposure, built her fan base quite considerably and had the opportunity to perform at gigs all over Australia.
In 2014, Angel decided to try out for another music TV show, X-Factor, with 2 of her friends Sheralyn May Hill and Jessica Jade. Together they formed a group called TRILL and their audition earned them a standing ovation from the crowd and amazing comments from the judges.
The girls found the experience an amazing learning curve and a great eye opener. After many performances on the X Factor stage, they made it all the way to the top 12. Soon after the show finished, they decided it was better to part ways and continue to pursue their solo careers, whilst still remaining good friends.
Angel is now working on original music, creating a fresh sound influenced by a number of her favourite artists such as Lauryn Hill, Jhené Aiko, Beyoncé, J Cole, Rihanna, TLC, Aliyah, The Weeknd and more.
Being hailed as one of Australia's most exciting up-and-coming artists, she has already earned herself a major role as the face of ABC ME, ABC's youth-based digital TV station. Big things are expected for the future of this hard working and dedicated young artist. She plans on making the most of every opportunity to ensure she can share her gift with the world.

Chris Appleford
Founder: Goodbye Drinking
""I support febfast because not only does it give Australians the opportunity to try a life of sobriety for a few weeks and the many benefits that come with it, but it supports seriously disadvantaged young people as well. To be able to get fitter and healthier while supporting such a worthy cause is a win-win for everyone. It's hard to think of two better reasons to spend February abstaining from alcohol.""
"The benefits I experienced when I decided to quit alcohol were numerous. There are the obvious vanity bonuses such as fat loss, clearer skin and looking younger, but it's how I felt inside that had a profound impact for me. I felt better about myself, more confident, clear of thought, and far healthier."
Chris Appleford is the founder of GoodbyeDrinking.com, a site packed with advice and resources to help you ditch booze for good. After spending his 20s and 30s enjoying an alcohol fueled social and party life, Chris gave up drinking in his mid-thirties and he hasn't looked back. Following a successful media career with Cricket Australia and the Melbourne Rebels he has now switched focus to helping more people give up alcohol to save money and enjoy a hangover free life.

Lee "Stampsy" Stamps
K Rock Geelong Music Director and Drive Announcer
"It is so important that young people know that there are support networks available to them through their most desperate times. They need to know there are options, and when their concerns are voice and that they are heard."
"This is what I can do for the young people of Geelong and the Surf Coast. As a spokesperson I can help pass on the information. The selfless and tireless work of YSAS ensures those aged 12 to 21 have a place to go. The volunteers are the bridge to communication when all feels helpless".

Stampsy has been in Commercial Radio for the last 15 years, from Albury, to Launceston, Sunshine Coast, Townsville, Breakfast across Gippsland and Hobart. She has seen the importance volunteers have in every single community. When she is not socializing with her besties over a soy chai, Stampsy loves to exercise, travel and support vital causes.
Stampsy is giving up sugar for the month. She would like to apologise to chocolate manufactures in advance. "Stocks will plunge without my daily hit of sea salt dark liquid gold."

Luke Hines
Owner: Bondi PT, MKR finalist 2013
"So proud to get behind such an incredible cause and I hope you'll join me! febfast is an amazing opportunity to do something good for others by doing something great for you, and it doesn't get much better than that."Following a very impressive stint on the 2013 series of My Kitchen Rules Luke Hines jumped straight from the proverbial frypan into the fire – parlaying his success from Channel 7's popular cooking show, into a post-TV career that continues to showcase his passion for educating Australians on clean nutrition and optimal training for a positive lifestyle.
Following MKR, the public – and their eagerness to listen to his healthy life advice – continued. His credits included: the release of Clean Living book (a fully illustrated three-week exercise program and menu plan of mouth-watering, paleo-style food); health and fitness consultant on Angelina Jolie's new movie Unbroken; cooking presentations with a number of corporate clients (including Williams Sonoma and Smooth FM) and regular appearances on The Morning Show
Although 29-year-old Luke cut his teeth (and what a megawatt smile!) with surf lifesaving, competitive ocean swimming and surfing before launching his business as a personal trainer and owner of Bondi PT, his proudest achievements to date are his ability to capitalise on his professional media exposure as the perfect platform for his "Clean Living" message.
"I want to prove to Australia that healthy food can be tasty food," says Luke.
"I believe in a long-term, holistic lifestyle of health. I don't think eating well should be complicated. It's simply a matter of being educated to make choices that taste good and are better for you. I am honoured that I now have the opportunity to share my knowledge of living a healthy lifestyle, interest in experimenting with fresh ingredients to create delicious recipes and excitement for taking my passion for clean living to the public."

Hormone Revolutionist
Nat Kringoudis
Hormone Revolutionist
"Febfast is a great chance to get in amongst and make a specific commitment to ourselves, momentarily stopping sugar or alcohol to pave the way for better health. But to me, it's much more. It's an opportunity to make a commitment publically and show dedication to the next generation, to give back and to create awareness for disadvantaged youth. By coming together we can show our support where it's needed all the while putting our best foot forward for our own health – it's a double win!".
I like to go by the title of 'Hormone Revolutionist!.' My mission is to help women understand their bodies better and draw on that knowledge to approach their health from an informed place – after all when we understand ourselves, we can take away the fear. I recognised there was a great need to bridge the gap between conventional health care and complimentary medicine and by being able to 'marry' the two together gave wonderful results. So with this in mind, combined with the influx of women coming through my doors who wanted solid answers, I decided to make it my mission – to educate, inspire and lead women (and men) to their best – after all, we only really get one shot in this body!

Dietitian & Nutritionist
Rebecca Gawthorne
Dietitian & Nutritionist
"Reducing your sugar intake can be difficult physically & mentally, especially if you are trying it alone. Many people who attempt to give up sugar start their day off well, but by dessert are digging into the sweets again. So why not do it with thousands of others during FebFast Sugar."
Hi! My name is Rebecca Gawthorne (aka "Nourish Naturally") & I'm an Accredited Practising Dietitian, Accredited Nutritionist & a member of the Dietitians Association of Australia.
I love food & despite four years of studying food & nutrition at University, publishing research on health, & helping thousands of clients with their eating, it never ceases to amaze me how important healthy, nourishing food is to our bodies. Food physically becomes you! It makes up every cell in your body – your muscles, hair, skin, heart. We need to nourish our bodies with healthy, real, wholesome foods to ensure our bodies function healthily, to feel energetic and live the life we were created to.
I hold a Bachelor of Nutrition & Dietetics (Honours I) from the University of Wollongong. I received First Class Honours for my research conducted at the Sydney Children's Hospital, which has been published internationally. I have a range of experience at various hospitals, health clinics and community nutrition centres across Sydney, as well as working throughout rural NSW with The Royal Flying Doctor Service as "The Flying Dietician". I have presented health seminars, cooking classes and I write nutrition articles for magazines, newspapers, websites & newsletters. I am also a qualified MEND Go4Fun Healthy Kids program leader and have undertaken countless additional courses on mindful eating, weight loss, chronic disease management & healthy eating.

Sarah Harris
Journalist, Co-host of Network Ten's Studio 10 and host of Shark Tank
Sarah Harris is a journalist and co-host of Network Ten's news-based panel show Studio 10 and host of Shark Tank.
It takes a special mix of sass and smarts to wrangle co-hosts and media heavyweights Ita Buttrose, Jessica Rowe, Denise Drysdale and Joe Hildebrand in front of a live studio audience every day. Sarah has both in spades, not least because she spent more than a decade on the road as a reporter, covering some of the biggest stories around the world.
Before moving to Network Ten, Sarah spent more than a decade as a reporter for Nine Network, delivering extended live coverage from Victoria's Black Saturday bush fires, the Christchurch earthquake and Queensland's devastating floods in 2011.
Filing stories for Nine Network's 6pm bulletin, as well as The Today Show and A Current Affair, Sarah was part of the network's coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games, 2011's ANZAC Day commemorations in Gallipoli and Prince William and Kate's Royal Wedding.
In 2013, Sarah travelled with a camera crew to Uganda to shoot a documentary on a school built by two young Australians. Sarah was so moved by the work of the School For Life charity she became an ambassador and has so far raised nearly $1 million to educate Uganda's poorest children.
Sarah is also the national ambassador for The Smith Family.
Sydney-born and Queensland-raised, Sarah loves a laugh and a practical joke as much as a cracking story. She has dabbled in radio and files regular columns for The Daily Telegraph. Sarah has also appeared on The Project and Have You Been Paying Attention?
Sarah welcomed her first child, Paul, in December 2015.

In Baqir v. Principi, the Fourth Circuit in an opinion by Judge King, joined by District Judge Harwell with Judge Gregory dissenting in part, affirmed the entry of summary judgment on all of the plaintiff doctor's employment discrimination claims related to the termination of his employment as a doctor at Veterans Administration hospitals in North Carolina.
Judge Gregory's dissent was limited to the age claim. On age, alone among the several claims, the plaintiff claimed to have direct evidence, as one member of the board that recommended his termination told the plaintiff's wife over the telephone that he was being run off because of his age, that his kind of work was a young man's game.
Judge King allowed that this evidence did not create an issue for the jury, because the speaker was not the ultimate decisionmaker, but instead he was on the board two steps from removed from the medical director, who made the final decision. Judge King concluded that there was no evidence linking this direct evidence to the medical director, and also that there was no evidence that the medical director merely rubber stamped the recommendations he received.
Judge Gregory on the other hand was of the view that the decision making was all done together, and that there was evidence that the decisionmakers did not actually consider the plaintiff's lack of credentials when they were deciding to get rid of the plaintiff.
I think that both Judge King and Judge Gregory went too far in attributing the one board member's remarks to the entire credentials board, but I don't guess the point was critical to the conclusions of either judge.
I once wrote an article about proving the bad motive of a local government board in section 1983 cases, and one of the things discussed was when does the bad motive of the subordinate, like in Baqir, get attributed to the decisionmaker:
A number of courts have found that when the Board acts as a "rubber-stamp" or "cat's-paw" for others who were illegally motivated, that motivation may be attributed to the Board. See Rios v. Rossotti, 252 F.3d 375, 382 (5th Cir. 2001) ("Statements of non decision makers become relevant, however, when the ultimate decision maker's action is merely a 'rubber stamp' for the subordinate's recommendation"); Azzaro v. County of Allegheny, 110 F.3d 968, 974 (3d Cir. 1997) ("To hold otherwise would be to grant public officials carte blanche to retaliate against employees as long as the retaliation is formally effectuated by the 'rubber stamp' approval of another public agent"); Shager v. Upjohn Co., 913 F.2d 398, 405 (7th Cir. 1990) (if a committee "acted as the conduit of a [supervisor's] prejudice -- his cat's paw -- the innocence of its members would not spare the company from liability"); Saye v. St. Vrain Valley School Dist. RE-1J, 785 F.2d 862, 867 (10th Cir. 1986) ("Where this line of causation exists, and the principal or superintendent predicated their recommendations on constitutionally impermissible reasons, these reasons become the basis of the decision by the Board members"); Haimowitz v. University of Nevada, 579 F.2d 526, 530 (9th Cir. 1978) ("where recommendations form the basis for the nonretention decision, this input is critical"); Bertot v. School Dist. No. 1, Albany County, 522 F.2d 1171, 1181 (10th Cir. 1975) ("The recommendation to the Personnel Committee, its recommendation to the Board, and the Board's reasons for non-renewal of her contract are of critical importance in deciding whether the action adverse to her was for exercise of her constitutional rights"); Jamieson v. Poughkeepsie City School Dist., 2002 WL 480567 at *16 (S.D.N.Y.) ("a reasonable jury could find that Samselski's alleged bias infected the overall decisionmaking process, even if she did not use racial animus to convince her fellow Board members to oust plaintiff"); McHugh v. Board of Educ. of Milford School Dist., 100 F.Supp.2d 231, 241-43 (D. Del. 2000) (denying summary judgment on "rubber stamp" theory, citing Azzaro).
The rubber-stamp argument fails if the advisors did not recommend the Board's action or if the Board would have voted the same way regardless of the tainted advice. See Pennington v. City of Huntsville, 261 F.3d 1262, 1270 (11th Cir. 2001) ("Where a decisionmaker conducts his own evaluation and makes an independent decision, his decision is free of the taint of a biased subordinate employee"); Willis v. Marion County Auditor's Office, 118 F.3d 542, 547 (7th Cir. 1997) ("when the causal relationship between the subordinate's illicit motive and the employer's ultimate decision is broken, and the ultimate decision is clearly made on an independent and a legally permissive basis, the bias of the subordinate is not relevant"); Al-Zubaidi v. Ijaz, 917 F.2d 1347, 1351 (4th Cir. 1990) ("We agree that if [one member] sought to sink Al-Zubaidi, then [the lone member] was attempting to sink a ship that already was sinking"); McClure v. Cywinski, 686 F.2d 541, 550 (7th Cir. 1982) ("there is insufficient evidence to support an inference that Cywinski recommended McClure's termination to Murray," distinguishing Haimowitz); Malone v. Greco, 1995 WL 222052 at *9 (W.D.N.Y.) ("defendants assert that Mr. Paul had no influence over the Board or individual councilmen to affect the outcome of the vote on any resolution").
Most courts have held that the Board cannot be liable for acting on the tainted recommendation of its advisors or of a minority of Board members without ratification or at least knowledge of the bad motive. See City of St. Louis v. Praprotnik 485 U.S. 112, 127 (1988) ("If the authorized policymakers approve a subordinate's decision and the basis for it, their ratification would be chargeable to the municipality because their decision is final"); Matthews, 294 F.3d at 1297-98 ("The final policymaker, however, must ratify not only the decision itself, but also the unconstitutional basis for it . . . A well-intentioned lawmaker who votes for the legislation--even when he votes in the knowledge that others are voting for it for an unconstitutional reason and even when his unconstitutionally motivated colleague influences his vote--does not automatically ratify or endorse the unconstitutional motive"); Beattie v. Madison County School Dist., 254 F.3d 595, 604 (5th Cir. 2001) ("Without a showing that the board had actual knowledge of the alleged improper basis of Jones's and Acton's recommendation, the board cannot be liable for the alleged retaliation"); Gattis v. Brice, 136 F.3d 724, 727 (11th Cir. 1998) (plaintiff must "present evidence that Administrator Brice not only accepted the recommendation of his deputy chiefs, but knew of and ratified the improper motives behind their recommendation"); San Filippo v. Bongiovanni, 30 F.3d 424, 446 (3rd Cir. 1994) ("the University would not be liable if, oblivious to the motivation behind the decision to charge San Filippo and to initiate dismissal proceedings, the Board had decided to dismiss San Filippo for wholly legitimate reasons"); Hill v. Clifton, 74 F.3d 1150, 1152 (11th Cir. 1996) (affirming summary judgment under § 1983 when it was not shown that the policymaking official knew of and ratified the improper motives of his subordinates when he accepted their recommendations); Wulf v. City of Wichita, 883 F.2d 842, 869 (10th Cir. 1989) ("The superior fires the employee, believing, falsely in fact, that good grounds exist therefore. In such a situation, it is inconceivable that the superior or the City would be liable"); Flickinger v. School Bd. of City of Norfolk, 799 F. Supp. 586, 593 (E.D. Va. 1992) ("although it was undisputed that the School Board ratified Dr. Carter's decision, there was not a scintilla of evidence that the School Board members knew of any basis, constitutional or unconstitutional, for Dr. Carter's decision").

Pre-2008-Crash Time-Capsules
The Sad but necessary demolition of some older pieces of work.
Although I wouldn't really call these pieces of work sculpture – they were more accompaniments to my drawings, mounds rising up to slightly obscure the pieces I was showcasing/like a weight on a stressed chest that won't go away (guilt of being part of/wedded into the trappings of a destructively consumptive society) – they certainly shared the demand for storage space that sculpture demands. Unfortunately for most of us, such space just isn't available (I genuinely believe the main difference between sculptors and painters/drawing-based artists, is that access to ample of space to expand into to is a necessity before you even begin to contemplate being a sculptor).
These pieces of work were made in 2008, and became crammed into a shed with other works. The began to get damaged, but they were beginning to damage other, less damaged works. So, to save those works, I decided that these works would have to be demolished. They were originally part of an installation called 'The Healing Process' which I exhibited in the fall of 2008 (healing, as a coming to terms with things, a gradual greening over of scars on the landscape I grew up in, reflecting a hope for a gradual healing over of psychological scars I'd carried with me for some years). Yet I made them from waste and fly-tipped material (largely non-recyclable, except for the newspaper used for Papier-Mache) in the summer of 2008, before it became aware to everybody that we were amidst a huge financial crisis.
Largely because I am overly concerned with the notion that time as become (even further) out of joint since then I was quite keen to document all that stuff that hasn't seen light of day since summer 2008. The pre 2008-crash point feels like another epoch whilst it still only seems like yesterday, amidst the austerity-age logic, and superstitiously-embedded faith that things will 'return to normal', our experience of time is spinning on a stuck broken record. This meant that it felt weirdly like uncovering relics to a world only 5 minutes past.
Demolishing them, kind of also felt like knocking down old buildings with the interior of somewhere once lived-in in full sight. Truth be told, the items, even the shards of newspaper stories bear no real difference to what they would look like now, it isn't as if the world of seeming permanent austerity looks that different – yet something is different, and opening up these soon to be destroyed pieces of work made me think of this difference.

Test Pilot Elliot Seguin – Warbird Radio LIVE! – Episode 599
Posted by Staff Writer on May 24, 2016 · Leave a Comment
WARBIRD RADIO – Civilian test pilot Elliot Seguin's name is synonymous with flying really cool airplanes in Mojave, California. Just do a little investigating yourself and you'll see what we mean, this guy definitely has the right stuff and we all should be following his projects. Elliot's been on Warbird Radio before and we learned a lot from his experience. It's been several years so he's coming back to talk "test flying". Now here's the deal, we can all learn from his experiences, especially warbird operators. Every flight in an old military airplane is often a "test flight". Let's learn from the guy who has that title on his business card.
Ric Peterson also joins the conversation with an update on his recent visit to Japan where he learned about a special Mitsubishi Zero. Tune in and hear the full story. As always, your calls and comments are most welcomed!

My name's Brad Pickett and I'm from Burley,
Idaho. I've always been interested in real estate. I see it as the vehicle for achieving
the freedom that I want in my life. Rather than working a 9 to 5 I want to be able to
go where I want to go when I want to go and be free. I was always interested in real estate
and I believe that having a system is a great thing and it was just, I believe I found Joe
through a Google search and was kind of looking for a way to systemize my business and also
to have a mentor. So, that's when I looked up Joe. You know, it's been exactly a year,
a year and a week since I found Joe and signed up originally.
My first deal once I started with Joe was right away. I talked about this previously,
but it was just a trailer house that I found and I believe I made about $15,000 on it so
it was a great deal. Probably about six hours I would guess. Not very much, so what's
the hourly rate for that? It's pretty good. We're working on a large rehab which has
been, it'll be a great deal when it's done because it's been a $70,000 rehab and
we brought the property for $100,000 and put $70,000 into it and it's going to be worth
about $250,000 and I believe my partner and I are just going to keep that property, amortize
it over a 15-year term and it's got some good interest rates on it, so we're going
to amortize that and hold onto it and hopefully at the end of the of the fifteen years maybe
it's going to be worth say $350,000 and we'll own it free and clear. So, I like
doing those types of deals and holding on to them because you get the tax write off,
you get the depreciation, you get the monthly cash flow and when I get ready to retire,
you know, in twenty years or whenever it is I'll have those properties free and clear
and that's really valuable, I mean, to have, if you can do that on one property and that's
$350,000 you know, you just times that by twenty or whatever you want to make and you'll
have that money available to retire. Of course there'll be some bumps in the road, but
that's the plan. You know, I've had a pretty good streak
of $10,000, I just had two $10,000 deals. So that's probably about my average. I'd
say it's probably around $7,500, $7,000. I'm doing a lot of lease options and I'm
still doing the for rent method and making probably on average $5,000 per deal on that
and then I'm also doing, I'm buying some properties, owner carry, and then turn around
and financing those with a lease option or a long term lease, getting down payments there,
too, so, doing some different stuff. The whole idea here is to, the reason I like doing the
long term contracts on my current rentals is that way I don't have to do the maintenance
on the properties and it just kind of creates a stream of income without the maintenance.
I am, yeah. We're starting to have closings every month. Obviously my goal is to get more
going. We're, the Automarketer is working great. We've just started using the new
follow-up system. I've had people, since we talked last, I've had people just going
straight to my websites and entering their information which is great. I mean, if someone
just goes to the website and puts in their information on there it's usually a pretty
easy deal. They definitely need your help. The marketing just keeps getting better. Decided
to try the new CRM software that Joe has coming out. And we're just working towards systemizing
this. I think the main reason I really like Joe's system, that it stood out to me, was
he's got the same goals I do. I mean, I do this to be free. I do this to spend, so
that I don't have to spend my time working. I can spend my time doing things that I enjoy,
you know, hanging out with friends and family, traveling, outdoor activities. I do this to
be free and Joe's system is just that system that allows you to basically turn it on and
walk away from it and come back and you know, you'll have deals there.
You do still have to know how to close and you do have to kind of work on your skills
and know what you're talking about and be able to help people, but it automates it and
as we try to increase our business we need that automation to grow because you have to
be automated to get to the level where I want to be. I mean, you cannot have that many loose
ends running around you know, so, in order, but that's what we're focused on now is
getting our systems in place, eventually hiring some people to talk to our buyers and eventually
to talk to our sellers. Getting the CRM software in place so that we have a good follow-up
system and really when I started out, it was kind of a hobby.
You know, oh, this is a cool hobby, I really appreciate real estate, it's a cool hobby,
you can make money. Now it's kind of turning into a business where you know, I have to
treat it like a business. I have to invest in it. I have to put time in it. I have to
facilitate the systems and to reach the goals that I want I really have to focus on getting
it systemized. There's a lot of details in that and that's kind of what we're
working on now. We figured out how to do the deals. We've got that down. We have our
strategies. We know how we can help people. And now we just need to know how we can turn
up the volume and you know, get to the goals that we set.
I'd like to be you know, it's going to sound crazy, I'd like to be at $100,000
a month in income and eventually $200 million net worth. And I know people thing that's
crazy, but that's my goal and I believe in setting them high. You know, what happens
if I fall a little bit short of that? No big deal, you know. Set your goals high and think
big. There's actually a book about that. And that's why I set those goals so high
and I just, that's where I want to be. I don't know if I'll, how long it'll take
me to get there, or anything, but that's where I'm going.
It's been great, I mean, just having extra cash to do the things you want. I have a,
I'm a firefighter and I really enjoy that job and it does provide a stable income, but
now I have discretionary funds to, I'm going to Costa Rica for two weeks. I get to travel
more. I get to invest in real estate. I'm actually building a retirement that is above
and beyond my retirement from the fire department, so it's given me freedom, it's given me
long term stability financially. And it's fun, I mean, you meet cool people that have
the same lifestyle and that are going the same direction. I'm a very ambitious person
and I like to be around those type of people that you know, creating their own future and
have life by design. So that's what I like. Yeah, we just started, like I said, with the
follow-up system that sends, automatically sends messages out to people that have their
homes for sale. And it does it automatically now so you know, I just come to my computer
and there's a ton of leads there. Actually, I just looked at my text blaster leads. There's
over 300 in there and I've gotten to the point where I'm rarely even calling those
back. I'm calling the ones back that either go to my website or call in and leave a voice
mail. And I have more deals to work than I can handle, so it's you know, the marketing
is taken care of by the Automarketer. Now it's just a matter of doing all the work
that comes from getting the deals and getting them put together, you know. And just like
anything, it's kind of a you know, a funnel, I think of it as a big funnel, you know, you've
got a hundred leads and then all of a sudden it turns into one deal. So you have to do
all that work in between and that's where we're focused. The Automarketer takes care
of the front end of the business as far as bringing the deals in.
I'd say in this day and age anything is possible. You can get online and find all
the information that you need to become anything you want in life. I just don't believe in
excuses. I think that people need to think about what they're passionate about and
go after it and be happy. I see, all too often I see people stuck in dead end jobs that they
don't like and I just believe that if you truly have the ambition you can design your
own life. And you can do things that make you happy and I think that's what life's
all about. So, I would say if you want it bad enough, you can have it. And with Joe's
system, it's just one of the tools I use to create my life and my life keeps getting
better and it's going to keep getting better. I'm not even close to where I want to be
yet and as I get better at this it's just a consistent growth.
We were just talking in the conference just a second ago, it's not like you ever arrive.
As you develop yourself you continue to get better and better and better but then you
keep raising the bar so it's all about personal development and getting the rewards from it.
So what you put in you get back. That being said, you can't just expect to buy the product
and get rich. It's not like that. You have to know what you're doing, you have to put
the time in, you have to make the phone calls. And you have to genuinely care about the people
that you're helping and you have to help them. And the more people that you can help,
the more money that you can make.

WASHINGTON — The nation's hiring picture is improving, but worries about an unwanted pickup in inflation are being rekindled as the economic recovery strengthens, a survey of top economic forecasters suggests.
In the National Association for Business Economics' April survey, 21 percent of those polled reported employment rising, up from 18 percent in the previous survey in January.
Sixty-five percent in the April survey said employment was unchanged, the same as in the previous survey. And 14 percent reported employment shrinking, down from 17 percent in the January survey.
A government jobs report released this month raised hope that employment may be turning an important corner. After months of lackluster job creation, the economy added 308,000 jobs in March, the most in four years.
The one missing piece in the economic recovery is a sustained turnaround in the labor market, economists say. In general, economists are looking for the economy to create a net 200,000 to 300,000 jobs a month on a steady basis before they pronounce the labor market healed.
"Employment continues on an upswing, driven by prospects of continued solid economic growth. This economy is definitely in a recovery mode," said NABE's president Duncan Meldrum, who also is chief economist at Air Products.
"One potential risk in this otherwise positive economic report is the threat of higher inflation — selling prices and materials costs moved noticeably higher during the last quarter," Meldrum said. "NABE panelists expect price pressures to remain relatively high over the next three months."
In the April survey, 32 percent reported higher prices being charged for products, up from 29 percent in the January survey.
Sixty percent in the current survey said prices hadn't changed, nearly the same as in the previous survey. Just eight percent reported prices dropping, down from 12 percent in the January survey.
The government said last week that consumer prices rose by a sharp 0.5 percent in March, a sign that inflation was picking up. That raised the possibility the Federal Reserve may boost short-term interest rates this summer, economists said.
Short-term rates have been at a 45-year low of 1 percent since last June. Economists don't expect the Fed to raise rates at its next meeting on May 4, but some are calling for rates to start moving higher in August.
NABE's April survey was conducted between April 1 and April 8 and based on responses of 102 forecasters. A margin of error was not available.

Is your graphics card memory free of errors? If you overclock them and it overheats, chances are, the RAM memory might be damaged. Unlike other components in your desktop, if a memory fails be it RAM or GPU's Memory, your system will automatically reboot itself, sometimes it will display the Blue Screen of Death.
Alternative 2020 Article ➤ 4 Free Tools To Test RAM Memory For Windows, Linux and Mac
The only way to know if your GPU's memory is fault is to perform a stress test on the GPU memory quickly and thoroughly! Below are 5 very useful tools to stress test your GPU.
↓ 01 – Video Memory stress Test | 40 Test | Free
Video Memory Stress Test is a small application that is free for home use (but paid for commercial use) and is designed to test the RAM on your video card. Similar to Memtest86+, it will read and write data to each part of the video cards RAM and log any errors found. This test allow you to completely test your video RAM (accessible to DirectX). The best way to check stability after overclocking ;)
↓ 02 – OCCT | Free | Pro
OCCT is a stability checking tool, free for personal use. It comes with 4 built-in test aimed at testing CPUs, GPUs and Power supplies. OCCT also monitors in temperatures, voltages and fan speed, as well as system constants such as CPU Usage, Memory Usage and FPS (if testing in 3d).
↓ 03 – GpuMemTest | nVidia Only
GpuMemTest is suitable for anyone who wants to verify that their hardware is not faulty. GpuMemTest is suitable for overclockers (only on nVidia GPUs!) who want to quickly determine the highest stable memory frequency. We recommend setting the memory frequency to be no higher than 90% of the highest stable frequency. Please do not use GpuMemTest for overclocking on AMD GPUs, as it might fail to detect errors. GpuMemTest is suitable for CUDA and OpenCL programmers, because having confidence in hardware is necessary for serious application development.
↓ 04 – FurMark | OpenGL
FurMark is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that's why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.
↓ 05 – GpuTest | Linux | Windows | macOS
GpuTest is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux and Max OS X) GPU stress test and OpenGL benchmark. GpuTest comes with several GPU tests including some popular ones from Windows'world (FurMark or TessMark). The number of GPU tests grows with the new versions of the tool. The foolowing tests are available in the latest version:
- FurMark based stress test (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2).
- TessMark based tessellation test (OpenGL 4.0).
- GiMark: geometry instancing test (OpenGL 3.3).
- PixMark Piano pixel shader test (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2).
- PixMark Volplosion pixel shader test (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2).
- Plot3D vertex shader test (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2).
- Triangle one of the most simple 3D scene ever made… (OpenGL 2.1 or 3.2).

8 Easy and Affordable Ways to Customize Your New Home
By Laura P.
June 22, 2018
Now that moving day is a memory, you probably want to start making your new house feel more like home. New homes have a way of sapping household budgets, especially at first, so you may not be ready for big projects and purchases. But, there are plenty of ways to make your new home reflect your personal style without spending a lot of money.
1. Accent A Wall
Paint with an accent color to tie in existing furniture, fabrics, and artwork. If you're feeling more ambitious, hang a textured or patterned wallpaper instead.
Be sure to balance bright accents with softening neutrals on the remaining walls. And, avoid accenting a window wall with a dark color as the light can make the effect too bold.1
2. Roll Out A Rug
Wool is classic but often expensive. Other materials can be just as attractive and surprisingly affordable. Look for sisal, jute, and woven cotton for understated, durable style.
Synthetics like polypropylene, polyester, and nylon are also good options that come in updated patterns and colors for high-traffic areas.2
3. Green Your Indoor Space
Air plants, water plants, wall plants, hanging plants, plant stands, topiaries, and terrariums – they're all putting down roots in chic homes today.
If your thumb is not so green, artificial versions add style and often look like the real thing.
4. Dress A Window
Hang store-bought drapery panels with clip rings or use drapery pins to create a more custom, pleated look.
Fabric shades can also soften a room while customizing with color and pattern. Many larger retailers sell fabric shades in in pre-cut sizes for convenience.
5. Blanket Your Blanket
Slip a new duvet cover over an existing comforter or other bedding for an affordable, high-end look.
The duvet cover also keeps your comforter clean and lets you change out bedding weights seasonally.
6. Freshen Towels
Today's towels come in myriad patterns and textures to stylize your bath and kitchen.
Layer different colors and sizes on racks, drape them over tubs and spouts, hang them on hooks at varied heights, or roll towels and organize them in baskets.3
7. Renew Lighting And Other Hardware
Lighting can make or break a room design, but new fixtures are costly. If your fixture shape is classic, you can save cash by swapping out fabric shades and spray painting metal hardware.
Choose a durable paint made for metal and apply a metal primer first. Spray paint switch plates and cabinet knobs, too.4
8. Turn Up Your Shower Power
Why take an old shower in your new home? Replace the former owner's shower (or plain old builder-grade shower) with a Waterpik® shower head in an updated finish, such as chrome or brushed nickel.
Popular designs include rainfall showers for their beautiful looks and drenching sprays, as well as hand held showers and shower heads with soothing, powerful massage sprays.
Customize Your New Home with Waterpik® Replacement Shower Heads
Whether you moved last week or last year, a few easy and affordable changes will make you fall in love with your new home all over again. To make your showers just as special, Waterpik® shower heads with PowerPulse Massage® deliver up to twice the massage force of competing retail brands. Waterpik® replacement shower heads also install in minutes and come in many designs to match your style and budget.

'I guess I've always been drawn to their immense colour and texture. As an object I was fascinated by the shape they took on. The carvings and markings that were made by the cue's created these amazing cave structures. No chalk was ever the same. They all took on a form of their own.', zo legt fotograaf Tom Lakeman van The Blackout Studio uit over de Moonshine serie.
'As an individual I'd say I was quite obsessive. I get transfixed by things and these consume the majority of my creative mind. For many many years it was the snooker chalks.'
'I worked for about a year on this project trying to develop a style of photographing it that would capture the texture and quality. This style defined the way I shoot today and was the learning process I needed to become the photographer I am.'
'Producing the colour for print was time consuming. Many profiles and test strips later we found a happy balance. The blue's and turquoise prints were less of an issue than the reds....'
'This was testament to Steve my amazing printer would worked long hard to get the results we had on the screen. Being such vivid colours the detail in the highlights were again hard to produce, and I'm very happy with the results.'
'They're framed using a perspex mount which sandwiches the print to the perspex. This gives the image a 3D like quality.'

Today, the impacts from climate change, coupled with ongoing development within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), is increasingly placing more lives and property at risk from wildfires. As a result, firefighting expenditures are soaring in order to protect homes, infrastructure, and crucial community assets from burning.
This past year (2015) was the most expensive wildfire season in history, with the U.S. Forest Service spending $1.7 billion on suppression costs alone.
Many western states, including Oregon, are facing increasingly burdensome costs to fighting fires that impact our ability to focus on prevention. Kimiko Barrett with Headwaters Economics spies the opportunity within the challenge by looking at how land use planning could be used to mitigate fire risk.

Do the Dance led wire-to-wire in the featured race Friday as the Del Mar Racetrack opened its third fall season.
Ridden by Tyler Baze, the 3-year-old filly finished three-quarters of a length ahead of favorite Keri Belle in the $78,450 Kathryn Crosby Stakes, paying out $28 to win, $7.20 to place and $2.60 to show in the 1 1/16-mile turf race for fillies and mares.
Opening day included a salute to veterans and a fashion show.
"The fall racing season at Del Mar has taken up its own special spot now on the Southern California racing calendar," said DMTC president and general manager Joe Harper.
"It's a low-key happening for real racing fans and it is growing warmer and friendlier as we go along," Harper said. "Del Mar in the summer is great — Del Mar in the fall just feels good all over."
The "Bing Crosby Season" — named for the entertainer who helped found the racetrack — will feature 15 dates of racing.
After Friday's start, racing will take place Thursdays through Sundays — through Dec. 4. First posts will be at 12:30

Amid criticism over crowd mismanagement, the organisers of the biennial Auto Expo are contemplating an increase in the duration of the event by one or two days in the next edition, citing heightened interest from auto enthusiasts.
"We are considering to extend the show by a couple of days more. For the next auto show, we will put this proposal as organisers, but it is for the exhibitors to take the final call on it as each extra day would mean an additional cost for them," CII Trade Fairs Council Chairman Rajive Kaul told PTI.
He said the lesson learnt from the experience this time is that one day should be reserved strictly for the media and exhibitors and no extra passes should be given out for that day.
The 11th Auto Expo co-hosted by SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers), CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) and ACMA (Automotive Component Manufacturers Association) kicked off at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi on January 5 and is on till January 11.
Kaul, however, feels that crowd management continues to be a challenge for organisers of the show.
"Managing the crowd is a challenge as there is a lot of interest from people across age groups and infrastructural bottlenecks remain," he added.
The organisers have already taken several steps to make it easier for all the stakeholders of the show, he claimed.
"In the past, we had never put a cap on the number of visitors, but this time we have put a restriction of one lakh people, including 30,000 people from the exhibitors' list and support staff," he said.
Even the exhibition space this time has been reduced to create 10,000 square metres of free space for people to walk around. Furthermore, the number of exhibitors has been reduced to 1,500 from 2,100 in 2010, he said.
"To make ticket access easy for public, we have sold tickets at 26 metro stations as well. We have also tried to minimise the chances of copying passes and tickets," he added.


text: The poem wanted to write itself tonight, right after I spent the entire day with my five year-old son on his first field trip. The poem was, ironically, about fatherhood and failure. (A nod to Chabon, I assume.) The process of writing it was compounded by another failure: smoking a cigarette, a habit I never gave up but simply forgot doing except when I'm faced with an ice-cold beer or whiskey. (On the rocks.) I planned to rewrite the poem here and do the tweaking before publishing. The fun part: the manuscript ended up by the shower, on one of those makeshift tables beside our toilet, and because we didn't have space for a shower curtain (having one felt pretentious in such a tiny, tiny space) the paper it was written on was limp and soggy. (Another irony: the poem was written at the back of my son's Pointers To Review, with a clause below for parents that says something like 'I have read and understood everything written on it', which I signed since - and this is a fact I've always been proud of - I've always been in charge of prepping him for exams: review sessions, supporting videos, further explanations, the works.) The poem was virtually unreadable - as is true with any haphazardly written piece.

Great Bear Rainforest is now playing in the Dr. Phillips CineDome!
Run wild with the magnificent creatures that were once thought to be a myth! In Great Bear Rainforest, discover spirit bears, the captivating white-coated North American black bears that have fascinated indigenous people and scientists alike for centuries. Although these bears may look like polar bears, this giant-screen film takes place in the wild coastal islands of Canada. Journey with the spirit bears, sperm whales, wolves, sea lions, and countless other species that call this uncharted land home. With rare insight into the lives of the First Nations people that share a home with these creatures and the contributions of guest narrator Ryan Reynolds and screen composer Hans Zimmerman, Great Bear Rainforest brings these never-before-seen wonders to life.
With so much to learn about one of the last wild places on Earth, we broke down the top five facts you need to know before seeing the film.
- What are spirit bears? These magnificent animals can only be found in the Great Bear Rainforest, where one in 10 of all bears are white. They get their beautiful color from a rare genetic trait. Although indigenous people have protected them for centuries, it wasn't until the 20th century that scientists even discovered these bears.
- Filming took three years, but was 30 years in the making – Ian McAllister, the director of this stunning film, has called the Great Bear Rainforest home for quite some time. For over 30 years, this award-winning author and photographer has documented and advocated for the protection of the Great Bear Rainforest.
- First Nations People supported the production – This film couldn't have been made without the permission, knowledge and guidance of the First Nations people that have been living in the Great Bear Rainforest for centuries. You'll become inspired by the moving stories of the next generation of young leaders beginning their lifelong journey to protect the rainforest.
- This film is about more than the bears – Don't let the name of the film fool you! Great Bear Rainforest focuses on the incredible journeys of many fascinating creatures that roam the land and sea. Dive into the deep blue with sperm whales, run with wolves, play in the coastal waters with sea lions, and even join a feeding frenzy with humpback whales.
- It has a star-studded production team – A project as exceptional and exciting as Great Bear Rainforest attracted some of the most talented and celebrated people in the film industry. Enjoy poignant and humorous narration by Ryan Reynolds, an award winning-actor and avid environmentalist. Become immersed in the story with a breathtaking score by Hans Zimmerman, an award-winning composer who has scored more than 120 films. Feel the dedication and love put into every part of this film by the incredible production team.
Great Bear Rainforest is now showing in the Dr. Phillips CineDome at Orlando Science Center. Please pick up a daily schedule upon arrival for show times, or click here for our online theater schedule.

Kuo: USB-C on 2018 iPad Pro, Touch ID on 2018 MacBook, EKG and Ceramic Backs on All Apple Watch Series 4 Models, More
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a new research note today, obtained by MacRumors, that outlines several predictions about Apple's upcoming products, including new iPhone, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, and MacBook models.
Kuo expects Apple to replace Lightning with a USB-C interface on 2018 iPad Pro models, with an 18W power adapter in the box. That sure sounds like the next iPad Pro will have a USB-C port, instead of a Lightning connector, but to play devil's advocate, there's a chance he is just referring to a USB-C charger.
In addition to Face ID support, we expect the new iPad Pro models' main upgrade to include replacing Lightning with a USB-C interface and bundling with a new unibody design 18W power adapter, which cancels the removable plug design…
Kuo adds that 2018 iPhone models will retain the Lightning connector and remain bundled with a 5W power adapter, not the widely rumored 18W power adapter with a USB-C port, which could be for 2018 iPad Pro models after all.
His research note with TF International Securities adds that Apple's widely anticipated lower-priced MacBook may replace the current 12-inch MacBook. Again, the wording is somewhat ambiguous, so it's unclear if Kuo means the 12-inch MacBook will be refreshed, or if it will be entirely replaced.
Kuo expects the new lower-priced MacBook to support Touch ID fingerprint authentication, but without a full-out Touch Bar, which remains exclusive to select 13- and 15-inch models of the 2016 and later MacBook Pro:
The new low-price MacBook may replace the position of the current 12" MacBook. We expect this new model to support the Touch ID but it will not have the Touch Bar. Everwin Precision is the main beneficiary because it is the first time this company will enter the Mac casing supply chain and its shipments account for 20% of the new MacBook model's D parts.
As far as the Apple Watch Series 4 lineup is concerned, Kuo believes all models will feature ceramic backs, whereas GPS-only Series 3 have composite backs. Kuo also believes Series 4 models will have electrocardiography (ECG/EKG) functionality.
The new Apple Watch models will have narrower bezels, support electrocardiography (ECG), and all be equipped with ceramic backs (currently, some models are equipped with composite backs). We believe the new Apple Watch models will attract more users on supporting ECG. The ECG supplier is Osram (LED design)…
Kuo also said production of the rumored 6.1-inch iPhone with an LCD has been postponed to late September to early October due to quality issues with the assembly and display, echoing a report from Mark Gurman earlier today.
Last, Kuo still expects Apple's long-awaited AirPower charging mat and new AirPods to be released by the end of the year.

This will be a welcome addition in the long run, I dont think they care about convenience of carrying one charget right now. They will update the IPhone to USB C and kill lightning eventually. Also, remember they killed the headphone jack even though the majority of consumers didn't have wireless headphones.
I disagree that this will be a welcome addition. The USB Consortium and USB-IF come out with a new standard every other year. At least Apple provides some stability and long-term viability to their proprietary standards.
In the time period that Apple has had two mobile cable standards (Dock, Lightning), USB has had seven (Mini-A, Mini-B, Mini-AB, Micro-A, Micro-B, Micro-B SuperSpeed, and now Type C). So in approx 2003 to present, 15 years, USB averages a new plug type every other year. This is not a welcome addition. Most consumers don't want to buy new cables that often.
Even within USB-C, there is already a bunch of confusion because not all devices and not all cables support all the features of USB-C, such as PowerDelivery and AlternateMode. There is a newer "gen 2" spec that is supported sometimes. Thus, pairing USB-C cables to devices is actually quite confusing - there is no good way to know if a particular cable was made and tested to work with "gen 2" of USB-C.
Right now I use a 29W USB-C power block with cable to lightning for my 1st gen 12.9 Ipad Pro (which I plan to update this Fall), so there is that possibility they could add that cable and leave the lightning port
I think this is most likely.
When these rumors talk about USB-C and iPad, everyone assumes it is the port on the iPad that will be changed to USB-C. No, it's the port on the charger that will be changed to USB-C, and the iPad will come with a USB-C to Lightning cable.
Too bad Lightning is sticking around on the iPhone. USB-C, ceramic backs and ECG functionality are all pretty interesting.
Not a chance in hell Apple replaces Lightning on the iPad. It doesn't make sense: if I were traveling with all updated Apple products I would need a Lightning cable for my iPhone and a USB-C cable for my iPad. Why?!
iPad Pro, MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac: no lightning ports; USB-C ports.
Standard iPad, iPhones, Airpods, Apple Pencil, Apple Mouse, Apple Wireless Keyboards: no USB-C ports; lightning ports/connectors
Current-gen MacBook Air, Mac Pro, Mac Mini: neither (though all three are rumoured to be updated shortly, likely to include USB-C ports)
Apple Watch: no ports; magnetic charger
There is too much fragmentation here...
Don't forget all the Apple accessories have Lightning ports: Magic Mouse/Keyboard, AirPods, Beats, etc. It makes no sense to switch the iPad to USB-C.
Standard iPad, iPhones, Airpods, Apple Pencil, Apple Mouse, Apple Wireless Keyboards: no USB-C ports; lightning ports/connectors
Current-gen MacBook Air, Mac Pro, Mac Mini: neither (though all three are rumoured to be updated shortly, likely to include USB-C ports)
Apple Watch: no ports; magnetic charger
There is too much fragmentation here...

2C, cold, frosty. An 8 mile run including intervals (3x 1600m with 400m recovery). Wrapped up well for this chilly run. Minor heel niggle that quickly wore off. Drank 500ml water. As usual, I enjoyed the intervals, a good test. Fastest km split was 5:06 min/km today.

7C, cool, cloudy, windy. A 21 mile run. Legs felt OK without being super-strong, so kept it easy. The wind was strong, mostly southerly or southwesterly. Clouds threatened rain but I was lucky, it held off. Had 4 gels and 1 litre of water. No heel niggles of note. New trainers OK at this distance. Though I slowed towards the end I was comfortable. Even thought of going a little bit further as I approached home, but stuck to the plan I had.

9C, rain, strong winds. A 6.5 mile run. Maintained easy effort on this run, as much as is possible in a stiff north westerly wind. Heavy rain set in halfway round the first lap. Drank 500ml water. Might as well have tipped the bottle over me, got soaked.

9C, cool, very windy. An 8 mile run, including 60 minutes of Marathon Pacing Session. Legs felt OK and heels hardly niggled at all. Drank 500ml water. The strong wind made it tough going on the far side of RV. A good workout.

8C, mild, broken cloud. A 6.5 mile run. Legs felt heavy after yesterday's long run. Both heels were sore too, though they eased off after a few km. Drank 500ml water. Only needed head torch for half a lap.
The main thing about the run was my first run out in new trainers. Could not find a pair of Brooks Ghost 9 in store in my size to try on. Different upper to last years model so needed to put them on. So bought nearest model instead, Brooks Glycerin 14. They seemed OK.
