The upgraded Wellington i-SITE – the front door to the region – is welcoming visitors again after 12 weeks of being remodelled.
Located at the bottom of Cuba Street in front of the Michael Fowler Centre, the WellingtonNZ-managed i-SITE moved to its current location, after its previous space in Civic Square was compromised by the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.
What was a pokey interior has been transformed with people now able to discover the gems Wellington has to offer in a public space reconfigured to four times its previous size.
Designed by Studio Pacific Architecture and Homegrown Creative, it will provide a unique, streamlined Wellington experience for visitors, and locals looking to buy event tickets.
WellingtonNZ general manager David Perks says the i-SITE welcomes an estimated 350,000 people each year as they look to make the most of their Wellington stay, or book tickets to local events.
"We have pulled out the stops to ensure the new i-SITE helps tell the Wellington story in an exciting, accessible way.
"The entire visitor experience at the i-SITE will be far better than anything we've offered before. The aim is to inspire people to find and do great things in Wellington, to entice them to stay longer or plan a return visit."
Central to the i-SITE's Wellington flavour is a mural by local artist Xoë Hall which pays tribute to the MƒÅori Legend of Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington Harbour) and the two Taniwha, Ngake and WhƒÅtaitai who called the harbour their home.*
Weta Workshop's life-sized Gandalf model – or 'selfie-bait' – missing from the i-SITE since 2016 has also made a return.
Previously, the i-SITE only sold Wellington postcards and stamps. That range has been boosted with the inclusion of t-shirts, tea towels, chocolate, socks, cardboard models of Wellington icons, the 'Wellington in your Pocket' guidebook, tote bags, greeting cards, notebooks and pens. Products are largely designed and made in Wellington.
Visitor registration technology means those looking for tourist information and event tickets are separated and dealt with at the appropriate station. Instead of waiting in a queue, they can wander about looking for great Wellington things explore in an i-SITE organised thematically – Find Your Wild (nature), Eat Your Heart Out (dining), Spark Your Creativity, Take A Day Trip, Stay With Us (accommodation) and Find Your Way (transport and maps).
The i-SITE has been operating to a limited capacity out of temporary accommodation on Manners St for the past three months. David says this, coupled with the unexpected move to the current i-SITE location in 2016, created challenges.
"The i-SITE staff have done a magnificent job in trying circumstances over the past three years and I know they're eagerly anticipating the opening of the new, improved facility."

Some covers are more equal than others. Good, Better, Best looks at three covers and decides who takes home the gold, the silver, and the bronze.
It is a rare Beatles song that just doesn't get much love. Or that almost anyone can cover and claim to have improved on the original. But these things are true of George Harrison's "Blue Jay Way," from Magical Mystery Tour. The song has its defenders, but it gets a shrug from most listeners. Luckily, though, for each underdog song like this, there are plenty of cover versions that pull out of the original song way more possibilities than its naysayers could ever imagine. We have three "Blue Jay Way" covers here to demonstrate how this works.
But let's give credit where credit is due: "Blue Jay Way" is one of the best examples of sonic psychedelia by any band of any period. Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn said, "It seized upon all the studio trickery and technical advancements of 1966 and 1967 and captured them in one song. […]'Blue Jay Way' makes fascinating listening for anyone interested in what could be achieved in a 1967 recording studio."
Harrison wrote "Blue Jay Way" at the start of his U.S. West Coast trip in 1967, when he found himself jet-lagged in the Hollywood Hills, and fighting off sleep while waiting on a friend. (It was Derek Taylor, lost in the fog.) People assume the lyrics refer to metaphysical fog, metaphorical sleep, and allegorical friends. But this was just Harrison being as literal and plainspoken as can be. (It's a Lennon-like move, to sing about being tired and sleeping, though Lennon would have written better lyrics.)
Given the song's lack of popularity, there's not the abundance of cover versions that you find with The Beatles' better work. But there are enough to make it hard to pick just three. It would have been nice to include the 1968 version by jazz great and kindred spirit Bud Shank (he worked with Ravi Shankar a few years before Harrison). A ukulele-driven "Blue Jay Way" would have hit the spot too, given Harrison's well-known love of the instrument.
The three covers on our short list all earn high marks for sheer originality. As a bonus, all three are well-filmed live performances. For that matter, The Beatles' filmed performance of "Blue Jay Way" is also worth watching. As to the three covers…
Siouxsie and the Banshees are good.
Michel Benita is better.
And Dosh is best.
Siouxie and the Banshees – Blue Jay Way (The Beatles cover)
Dissonant post-punk feels like an odd first stop on this tour. Except Siouxsie and the Banshees have a history with Beatle covers. Their 1978 debut album included "Helter Skelter" (dissonant pre-punk from the White Album). A few years later, just as the Banshees were settling into their reputations as experimentalists and subversives, the band released a pumped-up but safe-sounding version of "Dear Prudence." It was an unexpected selection, but the single was a success (it's still one of their best sellers).
And here they are decades later, drawing from the Beatles 1967-68 well once again. On their 2002 tour they unveiled "Blue Jay Way" on encores (sometimes saving it for the night's third encore); they never recorded it for commercial release. The band pretty much pulverizes the gentle and introverted "Blue Jay Way" into a sort of menacing dirge. (The video has a nice crowd shot showing an unfazed fan singing right along.) With Siouxsie singing it, the song gets sexualized. Despite its inward lyrics, the vibe is way more Reeperbahn in Hamburg, Germany, than California in the summer of love.
No one is in a fog for this 2002 performance. It's their encore, so all the juices are flowing. Siouxsie's electric, and the London audience is eating it up (when not shouting things at the stage—evidently that's what people did at concerts before smartphones). The band end the song by stirring it up into a sweaty sludge of sound. Great show, good cover!
Michel Benita – "Blue Jay Way" (The Beatles cover)
By picking up a sitar all those years ago, Harrison may have moved the "world music" needle more than any individual musician ever has. And so, for our Better selection, we have a world music ensemble led by bassist Michel Benita.
Benita is often associated with Fourth World music, "a unified primitive/futuristic sound combining features of world ethnic styles with advanced electronic techniques." Who knows if Benita buys into all that, but the description applies pretty well to his version of "Blue Jay Way." The Beatles original is fitting material for the Fourth World aesthetic, since it was all about advanced tech (some of it invented specifically for The Beatles), and its melodic scale is drawn from Indian ragas.
This band's take on "Blue Jay Way" is unhurried, dreamy, and somewhat spooky. It's a sonic journey that ebbs and flows, and it's soaked in atmosphere, the soundtrack to a film you'd like to star in. When they invoke the L.A. fog in the free-form section, you hope it lingers for a while, even if it makes you lose your way. The band mixes musical dialects and cultures old and new, from the muted trumpet (channeling Miles Davis even as it states Harrison's melody), to the chittering drum machine, to the traditional Japanese koto, to the electric guitar played with an E-Bow. It's tempting is to list the diverse nationalities of the band members, but the whole point is that these are musicians without borders.
Listen closely to the final iterations of the refrain—they introduce a subtle chord change or two. That nuance somehow resolves all the tension and warms up the piece, like sunlight burning through the fog.
Dosh – "Blue Jay Way" (The Beatles cover)
Here's our pick for the Best "Blue Jay Way" cover. And no, we didn't embed the wrong YouTube clip. That really is "Blue Jay Way," it's just that it starts out as "Flying," yet another disfavored Beatles track from the same side of the Magical Mystery Tour.
Multi-instrumentalist Dosh is simultaneously the frontman and sideman here. He's several sidemen. It's all down to his mastery of live looping, and to being ambidextrous enough to play his multi-instruments as he sees fit.
Moving quickly around within his fortress of acoustic and digital keyboards, drums and cymbals, mic stands and mixing consoles, Dosh builds up the instrumental and vocal layers into a lush soundscape. His left hand plays keyboard as he taps the snare with his right, while his feet work the kick drum and looper pedals. Somehow he creates and modulates all these loops without losing the shape of the song, and never knocking over that coffee cup. He leaves space for spontaneity—when Dosh activates a wind-up kid's toy for percussive texture, it's like a chef adding in spice to taste. The beauty of the music that emerges speaks for itself. And it lands gracefully, with lovely repetition of the refrain that recalls the original song.
This piece is Dosh's contribution to Volume Five of the non-profit Minnesota Beatle Project. Members of the Minnesota music industry cover Beatles songs for a great cause—to provide funding and instruments for public school music programs. Beatle fans take note: the five-volume Minnesota Beatle Project makes for truly excellent listening. You just have to be at ease with eclecticism. You might hear Soul Asylum or the Meat Puppets followed by bluesman Charlie Parr, followed by a middle school marching band. Five volumes: It's all too much, yet you can't get enough. All ages, all styles—the only commonality is that the artists are Minnesotans, and they are giving generously of their time and talents. Respect!
Roll up, roll up, step right this way to find many more Beatle covers.

A healthy population of normal gut microbes helps to prevent unfriendly bacteria and yeast from injuring the intestinal wall, which can result in increased intestinal permeability – the so-called "leaky-gut syndrome." This can, in turn, lead to severe inflammation and autoimmune diseases that can damage vital organs and even threaten our lives.
Keeping the resident population of bacteria and other microbes in our intestinal tract balanced and beneficial is essential for good health, especially during and after taking a course of antibiotics. We are learning that our population of gut bacteria interacts with our body in many remarkable ways, from stimulating our immune system to producing neurotransmitter molecules that ride the bloodstream up to the brain and influence our very thoughts and moods!
Consequently, keeping our gut flora balanced and beneficial is essential and ingesting a preparation containing health-enhancing bacteria can be a timely strategy (along with a whole-food, plant-based diet.)
The bacteria in our intestines are originally common soil bacteria. How do they get into our guts? Animals who live earth-connected lives, like grazing deer and antelope, are constantly refreshing their intestinal flora as they eat and drink. They pull up clumps of grass with soil particles clinging to the roots and ingest the microbes when they swallow. When they drink from a nearby stream, they, again, ingest bacteria in the water that wash into the stream from the soils with every rainstorm. They, in turn, excrete the microbes back into the environment. So, a river of soil microbes moves through their digestive tracts and back to the soils. They are part of the flowing energies of the living Earth.
Humans, too, used to live Earth-connected lives, foraging for roots and tubers, digging them up covered with soil bacteria and usually eating them unwashed. We, too, drank from streams and rivers like other animals. Thus, we constantly refreshed our soil-born gut bacteria population, just like the deer and antelope. Our ancestors never swallowed probiotic capsules. Nature provided them free of charge. Modern life, however, is an assault on our intestinal microbial populations; little to nothing is done to replenish or nourish our gut flora. Think of the bacteria-killing nature of what we swallow these days:
- Drinking water treated with chlorine, fluoride, heavy and soft metals.
- Soft and sugary drinks (colas, etc.) often made with phosphoric acid, which gives them their "bite" on the tongue. Phosphoric acid kills microbes – and gut wall cells.
- Too much coffee – the coffee oils that give coffee its taste are quite harsh on bacteria.
- Too much alcohol – the glass of wine, that mug of beer may taste good, but, think about it: in the hospital, we dip our surgical instruments into alcohol to kill bacteria– and, yet, people drink it as a recreational beverage! Alcohol in the concentrations that people commonly drink kills every cell – plant or animal – that it touches.
- Herbicides and pesticides on plant foods – which are intentionally designed to chemically injure plant cells. Most of the microbes in your gut share the same cell machinery as true plants – cell walls, chromosomes, etc. So, herbicides on foods can damage microbe balance, too.
- Antibiotics from doctors' prescriptions – often requested by the patient and dispensed reluctantly by the doctor for conditions not affected by antibiotics.
- Antimicrobials, hormones, and GMOs in the meat and dairy from factory-farmed animals are a HUGE problem, unbalancing our gut microbes and spawning antibiotic-resistant "super-bugs."
No wonder so many people have imbalances in their gut microbial populations, known as their "microbiome." As the normal inhabitants are killed off by this modern-day onslaught, unfriendly yeast, bacteria, and other microbes can set up housekeeping along and within the intestinal wall and then proceed to damage that intestinal barrier, leading to the "leaky gut" syndrome and all the inflammatory conditions that arise from that condition.
Consequently, if you subject your microbiome to any or all of the above injurious agents on a regular basis, or if you have recently taken a course of prescribed antibiotics, ingestion of a good probiotic may well be a wise idea for you to prevent diarrhea, yeast overgrowth, and a host of other problems.
Of course, before we discuss probiotics – which are edible products that contain beneficial microbes – it goes without saying that you would want to do all you can to avoid the bacteria-harming agents listed above.
If you want a healthy microbiome – and especially if you are trying to heal a "leaky gut," consider:
- not drinking alcohol, soft drinks, and coffee
- minimize eating chemical-sprayed fruits and vegetables
- severely reducing or eliminating animal products from your diet
- avoiding needless antibiotic prescriptions
- eliminating chlorine, metals, and fluoride from your water via distillation, evaporation/condensation, or effective filtering, like reverse osmosis. Chlorine is volatile – letting a pitcher of tap water stand overnight will allow much of the chlorine to evaporate by morning.
Once you have taken the steps listed above to minimize injury to your gut flora, which organisms do you want to help establish in your intestinal lining? There are a group of bacteria that are especially beneficial and I always look for these names on the label of any probiotic I purchase:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacillus plantarum
- Lactobacillus. salivarius
- Lactobacillus. bulgaricus
- Lactobacillus casei
- Lactobacillus bifidus
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus
- Bifidobacteria longum
A great book on this topic is Dr Robynne Chutkan's, The Antiviral Gut. She has several YouTube videos as well.
Is there a brand that you use?
What about fermented foods like Sauerkraut?

The College Football Playoff is expanding, finally. After a decade of a four-team tournament to determine the FBS national champion, the field is tripling starting by the 2026 season. Per ESPN's Pete Thamel, the CFP Board of Managers approved the addition of eight teams to the annual postseason clash on Friday. The switch comes after years of lobbying for more teams to be involved in college football's premier event.
The change has yet to be officially announced but several online reports said the CFP board was considering the eight-team increase throughout this week. The committee making the decision is composed of the 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick.
Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger reported this week that there was a "50/50 chance" a vote even took place. It appears that it came to fruition quickly. The CFP's current contract runs through 2025 and was approved in February. The exact start date of a 12-team playoff has yet to be determined by the committee.
No further details about how the 12 teams are selected, how it impacts the New Year's Six, or whether campus sites would host games have been announced. The easy move would be to just expand the current bowl system already in place. The top-four teams, in a nod to CFP purists who don't want expansion, would earn a first-round bye. The No. 5 seed would host the No. 12, with the exact same seed matchups that take place in the traditional first round of the NCAA Tournament, on college campuses. For the quarterfinals, the No. 1 seed would face the lowest-remaining seed to win in the first round. The top team would also get the first pick among the four non-semifinal bowls, and so on. Then, the current CFP model plays out the rest of the season.
Not too much about how the New Year's Six selects teams needs to change for a dozen-team CFP. The Power Five Conference champions and the best Group of Five team automatically take up half the field. The individual bowl ties, like the Sugar Bowl's need for a Big 12 and SEC matchup, go away permanently. The remaining six spots should go to the remaining six-highest rated teams in the final playoff rankings, regardless of conference. The teams' CFP seeds should be in the order of the final rankings too, even if a non-conference champion gets a bye and a Power Five champion must play a true road game in the first round.
This is a great move for college football. Even if the same schmucks that play in the CFP seemingly every season make the semifinals, getting to watch underdogs and fresh matchups will make that more palatable. At least Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson would have to swat away some of the contenders to their crowns.

BOSTON, July 1 – Doc Rivers will return for another season as coach of the Boston Celtics, vying for another championship run with the team he has guided to the NBA finals twice in three years.The Celtics released a brief statement Wednesday saying Rivers would return, confirming earlier press reports.
"Doc is re-energized and enthusiastic about coming back to make another run at winning a championship with the Celtics," general manager Danny Ainge said in the statement.
Rivers himself was in Texas, where his son, Austin, was playing in an international under-18 tournament.
The inability to watch his four children play in sports was one of the reasons Rivers had given when he said he was considering taking a break from NBA coaching.
Rivers lives near Orlando, Florida, in the offseason, and his family remains there.
Rivers' decision does not mean that the core of the Celtics team that won the team's 17th NBA title in 2008 will be back. The team fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the championship series this season.
Paul Pierce has reportedly said he will opt out of his contract and become a free agent, and Ray Allen is also due to become a free agent on Thursday.
Kevin Garnett is under contract for two more years, while point guard Rajon Rondo signed an extension last year that would keep him in Boston through the 2014-15 season.

For one of the cutest and easiest Halloween desserts to make, try these yummy Mummy Pops! People are going to think you have channeled Martha Stewart!
8 straws or lollipop sticks
11 oz. chocolate, melted
8 Nutter Butters
1 c. buttercream frosting (homemade or store bought)
Mini M&M's, for the eyes
- Melt the chocolate in a dish that will be deep enough for you to dip the cookies into it. You can melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove. All you have to do to make a double boiler is to place a dish over a pan of gently boiling water and stir until melted.
- Take the Nutter Butter cookies apart
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dip straws or lollipop sticks into chocolate before placing on the open Nutter Butter. Press the pieces back together, then dip the entire cookie into melted chocolate until completely coated. (Allow excess chocolate to drip back into pan.)
- Place the dipped cookie onto parchment paper to set, about 25 minutes (to speed up the process, transfer pops to the refrigerator for 10 minutes).
- Fill a pastry bag fitted with a straight flat tip with buttercream and pipe from side to side. Fill another bag with chocolate, lightly cover backside (the one with the logo) of M&M's minis, and press onto cookie pops. Dot each M&M with chocolate to finish eyes. Green eyes would also look cool.
- Set aside at least 1 hour to fully set.

There's no shortage of data available for you to pull about engagement with your website, e-newsletter, or social media platforms. Yet making sense of this data can be a challenge. Numbers-heavy analytics reports can fall flat when shared with upper level leadership and those not as familiar with your digital marketing efforts. Your reports, which may tell a tale of marketing wins, can risk just looking like a sea of numbers to your colleagues.
Not only are generic, growth-focused analytics reports confusing; they're also not serving your communications team well. Take a step back. What are your organizational goals and how does your digital strategy help to achieve them?
Here at Mission Minded, we remind our clients to communicate the big idea first before getting into the details. Not only is this a messaging best practice – it applies to digital analytics too!
Here's an example:
Let's say the overall reach of your blog content on Facebook rose by 25% this year. Hooray! But what does this really mean?
Follow the formula of Goal → Strategy → Tactic.
With this data, we can now formulate a more goals-focused, high-level finding to lead with. Remember to minimize jargon!
Facebook was a key tool in helping us achieve our organizational goal of sharing the impact of our work to key donors this year, as it played a major role in pushing audiences to our blog content and reached more people than last year.
See how this tells a more full story than the numbers and statistics we started with? Not only is this more understandable to your colleagues, but it actually shows how this metric helped you achieve a goal. Plus, it helps with benchmarking for the future. Did a given tactic miss the mark in seeking to achieve a goal? It might not be worth your resources to continue that tactic if so.
For colleagues who are interested in the details of the data, you can still include the numbers after this statement. But leading with a high-level, big idea of your findings allows you to better communicate this information while putting more of a focus on the marketing resources you're currently leveraging and if/how those can best serve you in meeting your goals for the year ahead.
Reach out to us to learn how we can support your organization's brand, digital strategy and metrics benchmarking!

Recently her interest in Day of the Dead celebrations has heightened with such kids' entertainment as The Book of Life, Elena of Avalor, and Pixar's upcoming Coco. So, I promised I would take her to a Dia de los Muertos even this year and fortunately there were plenty in the SoCal area. Here is how our colorful day was spent.

Since Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon moved Justin Upton to the leadoff spot, he's been remarkable serving as the prequel to two-way star Shohei Ohtani. In 22 games batting first, he's slashing .329/.426/.588 and has been one of the Angels best hitters. However, his excellence from that position is subdued by the nightly brilliance of Ohtani.
On Thursday night, Ohtani pitched six innings, allowing one run and striking out five batters. He also took two walks as a batter. The very next night as the designated hitter — something Ohtani never used to do — he belted two home runs to put him just one shy of the MLB lead with 21 on the season. This also came on the day he announced his entry into the Home Run Derby.
Upton — who sees as up close as anyone how good Ohtani is — said he expects this given what he notices on a daily basis, according to J.P. Hoornstra of The O.C. Register:
"I hate to say it but I'm not surprised," Upton said of Ohtani's two-homer game. "The way he's swinging the bat, the work he's putting in to prepare each day, I'm just not surprised. When he puts a good swing on the ball and makes contact, he's one of the few guys it's either off the wall or going over the wall. It's just impressive to watch."
Maddon is also impressed but unsurprised, as he is finally allowing Ohtani to be fully unleashed, something he said wouldn't be possible without good communication.
"Nothing about him is difficult because the communication is so good," Maddon said. "Ippei is very significant in this situation because the communication is so clear. Ippei is able to give me the nuance regarding the translation. I think I know exactly how Shohei's feeling. I thought he looked really strong tonight. I didn't see anything diminished based on what he's done yesterday."
Now, the Angels are hovering .500 once again — much better than where they were at a few weeks ago — and it's largely due to what Ohtani has done. Of course, credit must be given to the entire Angels roster for coming together to overcome the temporary loss of Mike Trout, but it's Ohtani that has led the way.
Ohtani does something unique and incredible almost every night, and it's clear that his teammates and coaches are having a blast getting to watch it first-hand.
Taylor Ward continuing to improve
On a lesser scale, Taylor Ward is also starting to feel more comfortable in his increased role for the Angels. Despite some significant batting struggles earlier this season, he's starting to come into his own. He has seven RBI's in two games against the Detroit Tigers.

High Stakes Duel II: Phil Hellmuth defeats Daniel Negreanu… again
As part of the High Stakes Duel, two famous poker pros met at the poker table again – these were Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth. We recall that Phil Hellmuth showed his "white magic" yet again, emerging victorious in the first poker duel worth $50 000.
The second match took place last night, but the buy-in was twice as expensive, that is $100 000. The confrontation lasted about five hours, but there was no clear leader. Both poker players rarely went all-in and played with caution.
The most memorable moment of the duel was an unusual bluff from Phil that occurred towards the end of the game. On a 6-K-6-8-9 board, Hellmuth made a big bet on the river, holding 10-2. Daniel Negreanu hit two pair, took some time to think, and then mucked his cards ...
Read also: Phil Hellmuth: "I won $11 million in cash games, I'm way ahead in High Rollers"
Hellmuth said that he had destroyed Daniel, bluffing with T on the river all-in, and thankfully, Negreanu had folded.
In the last hand of the match, Hellmuth moved all-in with A-4 and was called by Negreanu who had pocket eights. Phil was lucky to hit a flush (using just one hole card), which brought him victory in Round 2.
Phil remains unbeatable in the High Stakes Duel, as he has outplayed Esfandiari three times and Negreanu twice so far. One interesting thing is that bookmakers considered Negreanu to be the favorite, but he did not meet their expectations.
Hellmuth vs Negreanu Round 2 Highlights
It should be reminded that according to the rules of the show, Negreanu is able to ask for revenge within 30 days after the end of Round 2. However, it will cost the poker player twice as much. If Hellmuth agrees for Round 3, then each player will pay $200 000.

- 5-6 traps/ha.
FLYPACK DACUS TRAP is a trap that uses "Attract & Kill" technology. It is composed of a plastic capture cone (inside which the attractive dispenser and the pheromone should be placed) and of a lid treated with insecticide in the inner side. Insects are attracted into the trap by the dispenser, the pheromone and the yellow color. Once inside the trap, they come into contact with the insecticide and die. Compared to other methods, the advantage of this trap is a better understanding of the catches curves and of the dynamics of attacks accordingly, since the insects remain trapped inside the device; in this way, a prompt action can be taken. The attractive dispenser and the pheromone used in this trap are specific against Bactrocera oleae. Being the insecticide kept into the trap, FLYPACK DACUS TRAP doesn't spread active ingredients in the environment and on foodstuffs, and it is safe to the operators. The use of FLYPACK DACUS TRAP is allowed in Organic Farming.
The traps should be placed at least 7-14 days before oviposition begins (approximately from the 3rd – 4th week of June).
The traps should be distributed homogeneously inside the olive grove, at the height of approximately 1.4-1.8 meters and preferring the south/south-west side of the plant, in shaded area to guarantee a greater presence of the pest.
It is advisable to increase the number of traps in correspondence of the edges, in case of abandoned bordering olive groves.
The trap keeps its attractive capability up to 180 days. However, you should consider to apply auxiliary insecticide treatments, depending on pest pressure.

Handle Misunderstandings with Parents
This article was written by Youth Advisory Board member Ilana Ginsburg with contributions by fellow member Ranen Miao.
Dealing with Misunderstandings
Misunderstandings happen in any relationship. If not dealt with appropriately, they can lead to conflict or frustration. To avoid a cycle of miscommunication with your parents, try putting yourself in their shoes.
Consider their side of the argument. It will show you are mature and thoughtful — that you are preparing to have an informed discussion, rather than an argument. Even if you disagree, it helps to know what the source of their frustration may be.
Parents Want What's Best for You
The first step in working through miscommunications is to consider why your parents might make certain choices. In most situations, your parents are trying to do what they think is best for you. An acknowledgement that they are trying to act in your best interest is a first step towards diffusing a fight.
Intention vs. Action
We have a tendency to judge ourselves through our intentions, but others through their actions. Take a moment to really think about this statement because it might apply to one of your experiences. You may have said something that hurt a friend's feelings but immediately thought to yourself, "Oh, no! That's not what I meant or how I meant it, I promise!" Your friend, however, may not have understood and took your words and actions at face value, without considering your true intention.
With your parents, try to take a step back and consider their intent. They love you and truly want what's best for you. They're trying, and that's the most you can ask of anyone.
After reflecting, try having a conversation about what their intentions may have been. Tell them, "It seems like we disagree about this, but I'm having trouble understanding your perspective. Could you help me understand where you're coming from?" Make sure you really listen to their answer. Then you can offer your point of view.
Conversations can never hurt as long as we approach them from a good place. Try to talk when you feel calm and level-headed. This will help you stay clear and rational during the conversation and will help your parents be more receptive of your thoughts. See our piece on How to Talk to Parents About Something Important for more communication tips.
Turn Misunderstandings Into Positive Discussions
Realize that your parents are only human. You and your parents will disagree or misunderstand each other sometimes — that's just the way any relationship works. Your task is to transform these misunderstandings into positive discussions. You can improve your relationship with your parents by improving your communication. Listen without judgment. Consider their point of view. Clearly articulate yours. Give parents the benefit of the doubt and they will return the favor.
Thoughts From Members of the Youth Advisory Board
Ranen, 17
"One of the most heated fights I've ever had with my parents was when we clashed about how I balance my life. I have always been more of an extracurriculars type of person. There's nothing I detest more than hours upon hours of homework, studying, and assignments.
In the middle of sophomore year, my parents decided to confront me about slipping grades. From first marking period, my grades had fallen (probably because I was having debate tournaments every weekend). They sat me down, and told me very bluntly, 'You need to focus more on school.'
Of course, no one enjoys hearing those words. For two hours, we talked about how unfair the American education system is and about the importance of my extracurricular work. My parents saw what I did as a nuisance: distractions that would hinder my ability to get into a college and take away precious time from studying, resulting in a subpar GPA and report card.
It was at this point that I pointed out, 'I respect both of your opinions. I know you want me to do better. And I know you want the best for me. I have listened and I hope you will let me make my own decisions. I want you to support what I choose in high school, and I want you to let me accept any consequences of my actions.'
Suddenly, the tones of my parents mellowed out a lot, and a screaming match turned into a real discussion. We agreed on a few things. College and school are important! So are the clubs that I love. We agreed that I could stay in my non-academic activities, as long as I spent more time studying than on binging Netflix shows. That's a compromise that we've kept up to this day."

Poorer families have been abandoned by the government to deep hardship during the coronavirus crisis. A new report underlines just how tough it has been for people on benefits and low pay.
Researchers from the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) and the Church of England (C of E) spoke to parents who said they had been forced to sell possessions to protect their children's quality of life. They found that 80 percent of poorer families surveyed felt they had become worse off financially since the lockdown began.
"I lost my job at the beginning of March and have been unable to find a new job as my son's nursery closed. I am in more debt and struggling to pay bills and feed my son and myself," said one of those surveyed.
The CPAG and C of E researchers found that costs had gone up for many low-income families, who were having to spend more on food and utilities than before.
"We have had to cut down quite a bit, not have the diet we had before when I was trying to make sure that they get a balanced diet. I just manage whatever I can make, really.
"With fruit and everything being so expensive, you just have to get what's affordable," said one parent, named by the researchers as Ann-Marie.
Meanwhile, many had lost work either as a direct result of the lockdown or the loss of support such as childcare.
"COVID-19 has impacted us greatly. I can't work as I am at home looking after my children. Food prices have rocketed. My partner's income has greatly reduced because the clients can't afford to pay him… It's been so stressful. Only just got Universal Credit but that's not enough to live on."
Another, named Claire, said, "I went round Lidl with a list and a calculator to try and get everything I possibly could at the lowest possible price. It has just meant worry and stress and anxiety, because as long as you can see a light at the end of the tunnel, it gives you strength to move forwards.
"We haven't had that. In terms of financial impact, it's meant absolutely counting every penny."
Another respondent said, "I'm trying to sell my things, my jewellery, so they [the children] can have their TV."
The CPAG said it found many children who were eligible for free school meals in England had not been receiving them.
It called on the government to extend the scheme to all families in receipt of universal credit or working tax credit, with a view to bringing in universal free school meals for all children in the long term.
The charity also said ministers should "increase child benefit by £10 a week and add an extra £10 a week to the child element within universal credit and child tax credits" and "abolish the benefit cap, or at least suspend it for the duration of the pandemic".

Twenty-six children from St Saviour's C of E Junior School in Westgate will head off to the national finals of the Great Big Dance Off.
The team, organised by teacher Natalie Lovelock and Lucy Pressley, a former student of the school, are the South East champions after winning the regional heats of the competition aimed at schools across Great Britain
They will now take part in the finals being held in Oxford on June 4.
It is not the first time that St. Saviours students have achieved dance success. They took third place in last year's GBDO despite it being the first time they had competed at a national level. The achievement went on to contribute towards a Gold Star, awarded for PE.
Mrs Lovelock said: "They were absolutely jumping for joy when they heard they had been placed first and that's what all the staff and parents love about them. "The crew represented St Saviours so well, they put so much energy and effort into being the best they could be and were getting up to cheer and congratulate the other school crews – such great sportsmanship."
Mrs Lovelock, Lucy, all the dancers and parents thanked Mr Bonell for his continued help and support to enable the school dance club to shine.
Also through to the finals is the team from Palm Bay Primary School which took third place in the heats.

Beginning with this this month, director Dan Tudor has started a memorable experience joined by the incomparable Radu Beligan, Maia Morgenstern and Marius Bodochi, as well as the scenographer Corina Gramosteanu, an experience intended to provide a unique performance to our audience at Teatrelii Hall – Creart.
'Not so often a director has the opportunity to work with such an impressive casting over a text which hides the answers to what mankind has been always questioning…', Dan Tudor said, giving us the following exclusively cross talk:
"Marius: There exists something that defies science. Love! Yes! Love is the key to immortality. Felix: Who says that?
Marius: An actor, I don't remember his name.
Felix: You may tell him in my behalf that he is wrong. The secret of immortality is not love, but a very sane…." ("The Immortal" by Mona Radu)
Nevertheless, we cannot deprive you of the joy of discovering for yourself the sequel to this phrase…during our show.
The premiere date has been announced for the end of February.
We invite you to follow us on our Facebook page at Teatrelli ( www.facebook.com/teatrelli) and on our website in order to find out the premiere date!

Our boat left early and made its way north along the coast, arriving at the site of today's activity, Bahía Sullivan, at about seven o'clock. The bay is located between Santiago Island and Isla Bartolomé, with a distance of only 600 meters between the two islands. With the boat anchored in the bay, the iconic pointy Pinnacle Rock of Isla Bartolomé can already be seen. It's just that you can't quite see its uniqueness from this angle.
After breakfast, we ascended Santiago Island from Bahía Sullivan. This is a large area of lava field, extending all the way to the sea, without any beach. The lava are generally in two forms, 'a'a and pahoehoe. The lava at Bahía Sullivan are mostly in the form of pahoehoe, flat and without any jagged edges. In some places the lava looks like a bundle of rope. You can imagine the look of the hot lava slowly flowing, advancing, cooling.
Of course the lava field is not all flat piece, but shows a variety of forms. In some places, a large crack was opened in the middle of the flat volcanic rock, either in a straight line or in a zigzag pattern. The sides of the cracked rocks show brownish-red layer, likely to be iron-bearing. In some places, a bulge rises with an exit in the middle, resembling the shape of a small volcano, and reminiscent of the eggs of the face hugger in Alien. They are the product of small streams of bubbles gushing out of the magma.
Standing in the middle of the lava field, as if in an alien planet. The age of this volcanic rock is very short, only less than two hundred years, the ground does not even sustain plants like cactus, only an occasional clump of weeds can barely survive among lavas.
Out of the volcanic area was a hilly area with brownish-yellow soil, presumably ejected from the ground at an earlier time. Walking between the hills, immediately we felt the heat under the scorching sun. In fact, it's not very far from the shore. In some places, you can still see the magma had also flowed into this area, cooling and freezing in the valley between the hills. Some shrubs can find room to live in such barren land.
Lunch was served on the boat at noon, and the crew used the limited ingredients to make shapes of ducks and geese. Probably too cute, no one wanted to touch them, and they were served back after the meal.
The afternoon activity was the ascent of Isla Bartolomé. The zodiac took us around the Pinnacle Rock at the edge of the island. The rock were formed by an underwater volcanic eruption and then collapsed to form the unique shape of the pointy top today. Behind the rock is a cave that is home to Galapagos penguins. As we docked, we saw several penguins swimming in the bay.
We picked our way up the wooden walkway and soon reached the top of the 114 meter high hill. At the top of the mountain is a small red lighthouse, with a flat open space a few steps below. From here, you can look forward and see the most iconic landscape of the Galápagos Islands. Isla Bartolomé is shaped like a pear, with its long stalk deep into Bahía Sullivan. The pinnacle rock is located on one side and are only then revealed in their full glory. On either side of the shank is a half-moon shaped beach, and in the distance is the black lava field of Santiago Island, where we landed in the morning.
Walking down from the top of the hil, I noticed the white plants on the hillside, up the slope and spread over most of the mountain. It's said the plant is called "Tequila Plant" and the white color comes from the gray hairs on the surface of the leaves, which prevents moisture from evaporating. I don't actually know what kind of plant this is because the plant used to make Tequila, also known as Agaves, is a giant succulent plant, which doesn't look like one at all.
On the other side of the trail, you can see a variety of volcanic formations, both Spatter corn and Tuff core. Most of them are small, one next to the other, as if one was ejected and squeezed out by the other, which shows the active volcanic movement here. The Galapagos Islands are a treasure that evolved under such a dynamic geological and geographical environment.
We set sail in the late afternoon, heading for Santa Cruz Island where we had departed a few days earlier. The sea was calm and the sunset was beautiful. This would be the last stop of our trip.

New Orleans is mostly known for Mardi Gras, gumbo, and jazz music. But this is a place where sports fans also enjoy a cold one while rooting for the home team. The Super Bowl-winning New Orleans Saints are of course the most famous sports team representing the Big Easy, but other local teams like the New Orleans Zephyrs and the Pelicans are worth cheering for, too. Here are some of the best sports bars for watching the game.
Mississippi River Bottom
515 St. Philip Street
New Orleans
Located in the French Quarter, this is possibly the quintessential New Orleans experience. You'll know you've found a hip and unique spot as soon as you see the three-legged dog with a basketball outside the front door. Like any good sports bar, the kitchen here serves up tasty standards. But unlike many sports bars, sports aren't the only shows you can watch here; this hangout has hosted viewings of popular TV series premieres, too. Bring your dog, grab a brew, and plan to stay a while.
Nick's Sports Bar & Grill
3112 Pontchartrain Drive
Just 5 minutes from Springs at Fremaux Town Center, Nick's is a great place to watch the Saints or catch some LSU games. With 16 TVs you'll be able to view all of the events. Nick's even offers special Pay-Per-View events like UFC Fights. Make sure you come hungry because the menu includes 10 varieties of chicken wings, 5 different Po boy sandwiches, burgers and appetizers like charbroiled clams. And if that's not enough, they also offer items from Fox's Pizza Den menu.
The Jimani
141 Chartres Street
New Orleans
If you're looking for an old school, nothing trendy kind of sports bar, The Jimani is your place. It's a little bit divey, but it's where the locals go. Insiders know that this is the place to be when you just want to relax and not be bothered by anyone. Belly up to the classic copper bar and order your favorite drink or take advantage of the drink specials. It's dog-friendly and the kitchen is open late, so this is the kind of bar you can make your home away from home.
Bullet's Sports Bar
2441 A P Tureaud Avenue
New Orleans
When you want your sports bar to be just as much about entertainment as about the drinks and the food, Bullet's in the Seventh Ward is where you want to be. Local legends play music every week, especially at the Tuesday Night Jazz Jam, and the crowd is always friendly. Some nights have a cover charge and the bar is strictly cash only, so be sure to stop by the ATM before showing up. Some say that Bullet's is where to get the true New Orleans experience, away from the tourist favorites in the French Quarter.
Have another favorite sports bar that we didn't mention? Let us know in the comments below.

SCHA Partners with DHEC and MUSC on Statewide Testing Plan
Governor Henry McMaster recently signed a continuing resolution (H.3411) that provides "continued and uninterrupted" operation of the state's government into the fiscal year beginning July 1, and an additional $25 million to boost South Carolina's COVID-19 testing efforts.
The plan approved by state leaders last week directs the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), in consultation with the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and SCHA to develop and deploy a statewide COVID-19 testing plan that emphasizes testing in rural communities and communities with a high prevalence of COVID-19. The testing will focus on communities with "demographic characteristics consistent with risk factors for COVID-19 including, but not limited to, communities with higher proportions of seniors, African-Americans, or individuals with chronic lung disease, asthma, serious heart conditions, severe obesity, compromised immune systems, diabetes, liver disease, or who are on dialysis."
The plan will be closely aligned with guidance from accelerateSC, a diverse group of state and industry leaders overseeing South Carolina's COVID-19 response efforts. SCHA VP of Policy and Finance Christian Soura serves on accelerateSC and has helped lead the state's work to significantly expand testing capacity to more citizens. South Carolina expects to expand testing to 2% of the state's population in each of the next two months, which will increase testing to 110,000 tests per month, or 220,000 in May and June combined.
MUSC will play a central role in helping design and implement the state's expanded testing plan. "We look forward to leading this innovative mobile/drive through testing effort, and are eager to work with our DHEC and South Carolina Hospital Association partners to decrease access barriers to free COVID-19 testing for our most vulnerable populations," said MUSC spokesperson Heather Woolwine.
In April the General Assembly sent $45 million to DHEC to help with the state's response to COVID-19. According to a recent report, $35 million remains from that appropriation. Governor McMaster and state legislators are also working to prioritize South Carolina's $1.9 billion share of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In a letter, McMaster told legislative leaders that "these relief funds belong to the people of South Carolina, not politicians, and we must deliver them to where they are needed. Consideration for their appropriation must be done expeditiously — but also wisely, transparently and with meticulous accountability."
McMaster has called on the General Assembly to return to session soon to approve the state's recommendations from accelerateSC and appropriate South Carolina's share of CARES funding. SCHA looks forward to helping the state expand testing and advocating for the state's hospitals and health systems to ensure they are a major component of the state's relief package.

Though many people spend their working years looking forward to the freedom retirement offers, finding fulfillment after retirement can be elusive, not least because a wide-open calendar presents problems of its own.
"Many retirees go through the honeymoon phase and then say, 'What am I going to do with all this time?" says Karen Midyet, Ph.D. in psychology, who primarily works with individuals transitioning into or already in retirement.
You may have retired, but finding fulfillment after retirement takes effort. Midyet and other longevity and retirement experts offer these tips to help.
Put Some Dates on Your Calendar
A simple solution to the empty feeling that comes with having too much time on your hands is to fill it. Jill Liberman, happiness expert, and life coach, recommends planning a daily activity and scheduling it for the same time each day. "It can be as simple as a phone call with a grandchild each afternoon at 4:00, reading a good book before lunch, or taking a nice walk," she explains.
It can also be a regular date with another person or people in a class or meetup group that helps you stay connected with people now that your work obligations don't require it. "Try something new. Maybe it's drawing or painting with others in a class, tap your creativity," says Liberman.
Keep Your Body Moving
Though the advice to keep moving may seem cliche and trite, its importance to your own sense of well-being can't be underestimated. "With each new study, it just becomes more evident … the more you move … you reap more benefits," says Deevy. "The number of chronic conditions is reduced, and the number of medications people take is often lessened. Mental health and well-being improve."
Exercise doesn't need to be a chore. Kyle suggests finding fun and easy ways to move your body, like taking stretch breaks in your day or playing with grandkids. "You could try activities you haven't yet experienced but are curious to try—Tai Chi, Zumba, pickleball, or indoor rock climbing," she adds.
Find Meaning by Seeking It
Filling your calendar and staying active can contribute to fulfillment but finding happiness will likely require digging a little deeper and finding a source of gratitude. "You should engage in something that gives you meaning and purpose and a reason to get up in the morning," says Martha Deevy, associate director and senior research scholar at the Stanford Center of Longevity.
Though people often think of retirement in terms of endings, ever-lengthening lifespans mean many people have ample time in retirement to start over and develop new passions and pursuits. To help people find what's next, Midyet asks, "Who do you want to be when you grow up again?"
To help find your spark, Liisa Kyle, Ph.D., life coach and author of "Making the Most of Your Retirement: Ways to Foster Health, Happiness & Fulfillment at Any Age," recommends asking yourself what you love to do. "If you are not doing what you love now, why aren't you? Why not start?" asks Kyle.
It's one thing if you are physically unable to do something you love (although even then, there are often workarounds). But upon investigation, people often find roadblocks are trivial and easily removed.
You may even investigate the possibility of an encore career or a new business. Midyet encourages her clients to envision new avenues they were always interested in but never pursued. "[Many people] did what was expected of them," Midyet says. Now it's time to put yourself first.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has proved to be a prolific fundraiser, pulling in $20 million in the third quarter this year.
To accomplish this, Carson has relied on tactics that elicit lots of small dollar donations from grassroots supporters, like direct mail and telephone calls. But now, people who are receiving the calls are starting to complain about the frequency with which they're getting them and the difficulty of getting off the list.
Conservative blogger John Ekdahl tweeted on Monday that he had received three calls over the course of the day.
"No message, ever," Ekdahl told BuzzFeed News in an email. "Often refuse to say who they represent. I've been hung up on and told not to call back. They call frequently. I've had days with five phone calls. Since Oct. 15, I've received 47 calls from them."
Ekdahl said he "finally spoke to someone this evening, and was told to: A) Call back a different number by myself to ask to be removed. B) It would take up to 30 days for the calls to stop." He said he had never donated to Carson or given his name, phone number, or email address to the campaign.
Ekdahl provided a list of five numbers that have been the source of the calls to his phone. Looking up the numbers on an 800-number lookup site shows that others have been trying to figure out how to make the calls from these numbers stop.
"I decided to call the number.. it is for Ben Carson America... If it is a presidential campaign call wouldn't you leave a message? but the good thing it did give you the option to have your number taken off their call list..." one commenter wrote in a thread for one of the numbers on Oct. 15.
"i tried to have them remove my number but did not work," another person wrote on the same thread on Monday. "So i blocked that number. they never fail to call almost daily. there was a call today. they have even called just before nine p.m. tyoo [sic] bad that if these calls are for Ben, he should know they are being very very annoying."
"calls every day never leaves a message. Very annoying," wrote someone else on a thread for another one of the numbers.
"Called again!!!! Hung up on this nuisance, again!!!" wrote "Annoyed in VA" on the same thread.
Some of the calls are calls from a human telemarketer and some are robocalls of Carson's voice.
One person who received a robocall posted a rough transcription of the message he got, which includes a sentence at the end telling the recipient they have to call a different number to stop getting the calls:
Other complaints about the phone calls have appeared on Twitter.
Andy Brunelle, a Department of Agriculture Forest Service employee in Boise, Idaho, tweeted on Oct. 13 about the juxtaposition of getting the Carson calls while watching that night's Democratic debate: "Two Ben Carson phone calls since the #DemDebate started. Hope they enjoyed listening when I put the phone in front of the television." Reached by phone, Brunelle said he'd received phone calls despite the fact that he's "much more of a Democrat by tradition and conviction."
"They had been calling fairly regularly but most of the time I didn't have time to talk to them or just put them off until later," Brunelle said. "Sometime after that debate I told them I really wasn't interested in the Carson campaign and since then they've left me alone." Brunelle said he had donated to a couple Republican campaigns in the past, but hadn't had any previous interaction with the Carson campaign. He estimated he'd received one or more phone calls a week leading up to the debate, adding up to half a dozen total.
It's not unusual for a campaign to deploy robocalls and telemarketing tactics. But Carson appears to be using these tactics very aggressively and in an increasing volume over the past couple months. Campaign finance records filed with the Federal Election Commission show that Carson's campaign has spent $1,994,764 on fundraising phone calls with a vendor called InfoCision over the course of the campaign. The spending on phone calls increased recently; the campaign spent $444,167 on InfoCision in July, $245,854 in August, and a whopping $722,290 in September.
Politico has noted that InfoCision's founders also founded a direct marketing institute at the University of Akron whose board includes Mike Murray, a fundraising adviser to Carson.
A spokesperson for the Carson campaign did not immediately return a request for comment. A spokesperson for InfoCision did not immediately return a request for comment.

Recently, I was on the Half-Life Alyx website and came across an interesting button animation. As you hover over the button the background comes across from the left and fills the button whilst changing the text's colour. The background is also slightly skewed, which is a nice touch. I've seen this type of button animation before but I've never actually done it myself. So I thought it would be fun to make my own version.
Here are the styles.
.Button {
outline: none;
border: 2px solid #2d4059;
font-size: 1.4rem;
padding: .7em 1.2em;
background: transparent;
color: white;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: 1;
font-weight: bold;
box-shadow: 8px 8px #2d4059;
cursor: pointer;
transition: color 150ms linear;
&:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 140%;
height: 105%;
background: white;
transform: skew(-33deg, 0) translateX(-110%);
transition: transform 150ms linear;
z-index: -1;
&:hover {
color: #2d4059;
transition: color 150ms linear;
&:before {
transform: skew(-33deg, 0) translateX(-10%);
transition: transform .25s linear;
The z-index is very important here because we don't want the pseudo-element to cover the button text. To solve that problem we set the pseudo-element ::before to a lower z-index than the button.
We're also skewing the background so that it has a sharp edge as it comes into view.
Next, we set the transition to start when the button has an on:hover event. Here we just translate the ::before element to -10% (which fills the background) and change the button text to a darker colour (so it can stand out from the white background).
If you're interested in seeing the original button animation, you can check out the Half-Life Alyx website.
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed it!

It's that time of year again where we're recovering from eating and drinking too much, and looking forward to the new year filled with exciting opportunities and a chance to do better. Who knew that an arbitrary point in the Earth's orbit round the Sun had such power? I've definitely neglected the blog this past year or so (I've been a little more active on my dev blog, but only just) and I'm contemplating just migrating all the content from this site over to picnicerror.net and focusing my efforts on one site. Anyway, I digress. I think my last post on this site was looking back (very belatedly) at my favourite games from 2017, so it seems kind of fitting that my next post is this one.
