WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.
Vaping is increasing in popularity, not only for its alternative nature to cigarettes, but because it has many devices that fit perfectly for everyone, in any walk of life. Whether you're out with a group of friends or enjoying a warm sunset evening on the patio, you can find a vape pen that fits your lifestyle. Now you can double your satisfaction with flavors that pleasure any palette. From single fruit flavors to a combination of flavors, there are many more options nowadays. Your local vape shop Highlands Ranch associate can help you find the best flavor choice. While searching for the best vape of 2022, you'll need a good quality juice that fits the bill. Let's take a look at some popular flavors today, as well as some older favorites that still hold their royal seat.
VaporFi is not only known for its less expensive juice options, but its many fruity flavors as well. From 50%, 70%, and 100% VG ratios, you can almost instantly find one that fits your taste. VaporFi offers flavors like Ripe Apple, Smooth Tobacco, Tobacco Menthol, Pure Grape, Berry Bash, Fruit Dragonthol, Watermelon Wave, and Strawberry Watermelon. VaporFi is kosher grade and made of diacetyl-free components.
VaporFi CBD
The VaporFi CBD custom blend is a CBD vape juice that allows you to customize your flavor, allowing you to combine three different flavors from a plethora of choices. They come in 30 ml with 500 mg of CBD, CBD isolate, or even full spectrum options.
Black Not Menthol
This e-liquid combines the natural extract of sun-cured oriental tobacco with a soothing, cool extract from peppermint leaves. It's the closest thing to real as it gets!
When you want an exotic blend of distinct flavors with high quality ingredients, this e-juice is your go-to. The Pachamama vape juice comes in tropical flavors such as Mango, Papaya, Pineapple, and even Guava. Its smooth and balanced flavors provide an exceptional flavor twist in every puff.
NKD 100 Salt
Combining their classic flavors with nicotine salt, Naked 100 Salt comes in a variety of flavors. You can find anything from tropical fruit to traditional tobacco flavors that are available in 25mg and 50 mg of nicotine strengths.
Naked 100
Naked 100 has an e-juice that offers a variety of flavors such as Lava Flow, Hawaiian Pog, Amazing Mango, and more. These outstanding flavors are natural varieties that lack the excess additives and sweeteners that other brands tend to have. Over 20 all-natural fruit flavors are available at your local vape shop at the Highlands Ranch location.
What Makes the Best Vape Juice?
Many brands tout their excellent flavors, with all natural ingredients at a low price. However, there are a few things to consider when finding a good quality vaporizer or vape juice, and not just a good price. Just because the vape juice has a long shelf life, doesn't mean it's going to taste fresh when you buy it. A high quality product means it's fresh and has been stored properly, such as a cool, dark place. The steeping process plays a big role in the quality of juice as well.
It's easy to get lost in the confusion of your many flavor options, so stop by your local vape shop at the Highlands Ranch location and have an expert help you choose your ideal fit. No two flavors are alike, and that goes for your many vape pen options as well. Stop by our Highlands Ranch location to view our delicious selections of e-juices and e-pens today!

John Tehranian, a University of Utah law professor, recently published an article "Infringment Nation" where he claimed that a typical American might be violating copyright at an astonishing rate: 83 acts of infringement and a potential liability of $12.45 million a day.
Those sort of numbers echoed by BoingBoing, by Valleywag, by Ars Technica, and by David Ardia of the Citizen Media Law Project of the Berkman Center at Harvard Law School.
In devising a list of possible infringements, Tehranian assumed away any fair use defense. "Fair use is, after all, notoriously fickle and the defense offers little ex ante refuge to users of copyrighted works." But assuming away fair use is like assuming away seatbelts. (Tehranian cited a previous paper of his, Whither Copyright? Transformative Use, Free Speech, and an Intermediate Liability Proposal, in the footnote for that. More on that later.)
I'm not a lawyer, so I can't interpret the law for anyone else. But I ought to be able to interpret it for myself. I'd like to get a sense for myself whether I am infringing copyright anywhere near where he suggests. Here's his list:
Replying to or forwarding emails, wherein the original text is reproduced. If you're forwarding private emails to a third party, you probably should be worrying about privacy more than copyright. Tehranian cites cases where the copyrighted material was intended for publication.
Making class copies. Here's the example: a professor makes copies of "three just-published Internet articles presenting analyses of a Supreme Court decision handed down only hours ago." Tehranian states in a footnote that this could be problematic, since, despite "the courts have still managed to find a plethora of instances where use of a copyrighted work for teaching, research or scholarship constitutes infringement." But this isn't one of those instances. As the 1976 Copyright Act was being developed, a committee of educators, publishers, and educators submitted guidelines for consideration by the Congress (officially: Agreement on Guidelines for Classroom Copying in Not-For-Profit Educational Institutions) clearly make an allowance fir "spontaneous" copying, defined as such: "The inspiration and decision to use the work and the moment of its use for maximum teaching effectiveness are so close in time that it would be unreasonable to expect a timely reply to a request for permission." These were not made law, but they were included in the House report as a note on section 107, and according to Ann Bartow of the University of South Carolina, the courts have generally followed the guidelines.
A doodle of a famous building. Tehranian cites four sections of title 17, but he neglected § 120(a) — "The copyright in an architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work, if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place."
Reading a poem in class. This is clearly fair use for educational purpose. BMG v. Gonzalez only applies by its mere mention of poetry.
Emailing photographs that a friend made and supplied. See #1. If your friend gives you pictures and then turns around and sues you for copyright, he's not much of a friend. Or he's going to have to claim the chutzpah defense.
Getting a tattoo of a copyrighted work and displaying it publicly. There's no precedent of this. The case Tehranian cites is a bit different: Matthew Reed, a Portland, OR, tattoo artist, was distressed that a tattoo he inked on NBA star Rasheed Wallace's skin was being displayed in, and featured in, advertisements for Nike. Reed registered the tattoo's design and sued Nike for infringement. This was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Singing "Happy Birthday To You," having it recorded by a camcorder, and incidentally including a framed piece of artwork on the wall in the resulting video. This is two theoretical infringements: the performing and the filming. Tehranian cites how movies must pay to use songs like "Happy Birthday To You" (owned by the Warner Music Group until 2030); similarly, restaurant establishments often compose their own birthday jingles to avoid paying the toll. Fair enough. But when a group of people sing a copyrighted song amongst themselves, any reasonable person (such as Marybeth Peters, the Registrar of Copyrights, testifying before Congress in 1997) can see that is already exempted by § 110(4). If it's not, then somebody more familiar with case law should produce a judicial ruling which says otherwise. There's also the precedent of wide met by a widespread public backlash (NYT 12/17/1996: "Ascap Asks Royalties from Girl Scouts, and Regrets It")
Purchasing a magazine which includes copyright-infringing material. Tehranian cites MGM v. Grokster "One infringes contributorily by intentionally inducing or encouraging direct infringement." But he cut out the second part of the sentence: "and infringes vicariously by profiting from direct infringement while declining to exercise the right to stop or limit it." Clearly the court was referring to the software company (Grokster) here that was doing the profiting. In BMG v. Gonzalez, the defendant was likened to a thief for not paying for music she was using. Clearly, someone who pays money for a magazine believed to be legitimate is neither profiting nor stealing.
This isn't to say that that U.S. copyright law is perfect, or is always interpreted fairly. It's just that there are much more solid examples. (Lessig has obviously mined this before). One can appreciate what Tehranian is trying to do, but it's not clear how this is good for anything more than echoing blog posts.
Obviously, the threat to the average music file sharer is real. But this whole exercise seems to invite distrust in the whole copyright system. And that can't be Tehranian's intention. In his own article that he cited on fair use's fickleness, Whither Copyright? in the 2005 Brigham Young University Law Review, he clearly holds firm to the viability of copyright. In the paper, he calls for a wholesale clearing of noncommerical transformative uses, while also suggesting an "intermediate liability" for commercial transformative uses, which substitutes fair compensation for penalties.
For example, if I write a satire of the 2008 elections based on Star Wars, I can make use of the storyline, characters (e.g., Yoda, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker) and terms (e.g., Jedi, lightsaber, Star Wars) from the movie series, but I cannot attribute my satire to George Lucas. If anything, a disclaimer on my work should make it clear that it is an unauthorized derivative work. However, George Lucas, as the original copyright holder to Star Wars, would be entitled to a presumptive 50% of any profits that result from the creation of my work.
It's only 2007, and such a satire has been produced already. A couple of weeks ago, the Times reported (er, blogged, er, press released) that the online animation company AniBoom is doing this; they've raised $4.5 million in venture funding. (I don't know enough about copyright law, but it seems like a satire using the Star Wars universe doesn't have the same protection as a satire of Star Wars, such as Mel Brooks's Spaceballs.)
Hardly a week goes by before somebody else is using a Star Wars tie-in as a crutch for humor. On Thanksgiving, the online newscast Rocketboom gave its anchor Joanne Colan the day off and instead assembled a video combining footage of the Macy's parade with the the music of the Star Wars "Imperial March." They remembered to identify the composer at the end (John Williams) but neglected to identify who had performed it (perhaps the London Symphony Orchestra, from the original soundtrack released by RCA.
AniBoom and Rocketboom are not educational institutions. Viewers may learn from them, but their use of Star Wars here is not for the purpose of critical inquiry; its for a punch line. Yet while their nature is commercial, their use of Star Wars material just happens to be in media which doesn't include commercials, and thus there's no direct revenue. Therefore the 50% of profits wouldn't help Lucasfilm in these cases.
Thanks to the explosion of amateur media over the last several years, there's been a lot of interest in reforming copyright. But it's been met by very little interest by the Congress, and listing fringe infringement cases won't help the case. Maybe energy could be better directed at media companies to explain their copyright practices better. If the copyright crapshoot of today is undesirable, why not encourage copyright holders to publish pricing schedules? The website for Lucasfilm Licensing is just a single page. As such, the use of Star Wars music for a measly video blog post is seemingly determined by the whim of the licensing department. Another company that keeps Americans in the dark about what is copyright infringement: YouTube. They could provide a fair use challenge to enable users to to declare that they believe that they are uploading copyrighted video under fair use. They don't
By clicking "Upload Video," you are representing that this video does not violate YouTube's Terms of Use and that you own all copyrights in this video or have express permission from all copyright owners to upload it.
In other words, YouTube is not inducing users to violate copyright. They're just asking users to make false declarations – which, morally, is not much better.
Two days after I wrote this, law professors Matthew Sag and Mark Schultz wrote a similar (and better-grounded!) rebuttal to Tehranian's paper. Tehranian responded, and Sag & Schultz wrote back— pointing out, that Tehranian's nuance that the estimate was a "worst-case scenario" was lost in the echoes of BoingBoing, TechDirt et al: "We are concerned that the $4.544 billion figure is likely to be quoted in the media and policy debates for years to come as one of those too-good-to-pass-up statistics. Such a result is, after all, what follows in 84.544% of the cases that scholars generate dubiously precise, grossly exaggerated statistics for rhetorical effect."

Wax melts are a great way to fill your home with welcoming fragrances.
These melts rely on a candle-powered or electric warmer to melt the wax and activate the scent, making the wax disposal a little more complicated than a candle or incense.
However, there are easy ways to dispose of wax melts, even options that allow you to reuse your favorite scents!
How to Dispose of Wax Melts
There are a few different ways to dispose of wax melts. Your method will depend on the heat of the wax at the time of disposal.
Whether or not you desire to reuse the wax will also determine the method of removal that you choose.
Disposing of Warm Liquid Wax
It is not recommended to dispose of your wax melts while they are still in their liquid state.
The wax is deceptively warm and can be unpleasant on your skin.
However, sometimes, you need to dispose of wax without waiting for it to solidify safely. You can still dispose of warm wax safely.
Cotton Balls
One safe way to dispose of warm wax is to drop cotton balls into the liquid wax.
The fluffy cotton balls will quickly absorb the wax for safe disposal.
Pour the Wax Into Another Container
Another method of wax disposal includes disposing of it in a separate container.
Carefully pour the wax from your warmer into a wide funnel or container. Make sure you have space to pour safely.
When pouring warm wax, choose a container that can withstand a higher temperature. A metal can, like a tuna can, is an excellent option for pouring your warm wax.
Disposing of warm wax usually does not give you the option to reuse the wax. But these methods can help out if you need to dispose of the wax immediately.
Disposing of Cooled Solid Wax
The safest and easiest way to dispose of wax melts is to wait for them to cool off and solidify.
It takes about two hours for your wax melts to harden after you take them away from heat.
Once you have given the wax melts time to cool down, you can easily lift them from their basin in the warmer.
Trace a butter knife around the perimeter and watch the wax lift.
It is best to find the sweet spot between the liquid state and completely solid wax. If the wax is too hard, it will fuse to the warmer's basin.
This fusion can make it difficult to remove and most likely will not come out in one piece.
Wax Disposal Products
If you're looking for another way to dispose of your wax, try the products below.
Wax Warmer Liners
Wax warmer liners are available to help with disposal, a preferred feature of many wax lovers.
These liners act in a similar way to using parchment paper when you are baking.
These liners easily lift and pop the solidified wax out of the warmer for easy disposal.
Some liners are reusable, but others are single-use. These liners are leakproof and easy to use.
Silicone Warmer Lids
Some warmers now come with a silicone lid to aid in the disposal of wax melts.
Traditionally, the basin where wax sits in the warmer has been made of stiff, fragile materials like ceramic.
Silicone easily and safely absorbs heat and is highly flexible. Simply turn off the warmer, and you can squeeze and bend the entire lid to lift off the cooled wax.
If you don't care to reuse the wax melt, you can safely dispose of it in the trash. However, you can often store and reuse these melts to get your money's worth.
Reusing Wax Melts
The average wax melt lasts about four to six hours before losing its fragrance. If your wax melts still have a scent, you can use the methods above to use again.
The cool wax methods are best for reusing wax melts. If the scent is gone, you can still get meaningful use out of the leftover wax.
The exact amount of wax always remains in the basin, as wax does not evaporate. You have a helpful waste product you can easily repurpose.
Popular ways to reuse wax melts include:
- Making fire starters for camping or backyard bonfires — simply smear the leftover wax onto a pinecone and toss it into the fire
- Lubricating metal tracks on drawers
- Helping snow slide off of your shovel
- Pouring new candles
- Remelting and adding essential oils to make new wax melts
Improper Ways to Dispose of Wax Melts
Do not pour warm liquid wax directly into a lined trash can. The wax will melt through the plastic bag liner and make a mess.
Also, avoid pouring warm wax down any drain. Once the wax cools off, it will solidify and can cause clogs and other draining issues.
Are My Wax Melts Safe?
There is some debate about whether wax melts are safe to melt in homes. Some types of wax are made of harmful chemicals.
There is a chance these chemicals are being released into the air along with the scent.
However, there are non-toxic wax melts made of natural ingredients. Wax melts made from soy or beeswax are natural products and do not contain chemicals.
Because there is no wick like a candle, no soot or smoke is released into the air. Wicks can be made of lead, which is harmful to burn indoors.
Concerns also come up regarding wax melts causing fires. While not as common as the exposed flame of a candle, it can still happen.
It is advised to not leave a wax warmer on for more than eight continuous hours and never while it is unattended.
Why Choose Wax Melts?
While candles have been the most popular way to add scents to your home, wax melts have gained popularity in recent years.
Wax melts offer a customizable, convenient, and budget-friendly way to fragrance your home. Wax melts come in the forms of:
- Concentrated cubes
- Tarts
- Beads
- Wax shapes and figures
Most can be used by pouring them into a warming basin. Because they are in small doses, you can mix and match different scents. This is a feature you cannot find in candles.
With wax melts, you can easily control the strength of the fragrance. This control is achieved by simply adding more or fewer melts to the basin.
Wax melts can be conveniently disposed of, reused, and stored. This fragrance alternative is also much more affordable than candles when you calculate burn time per ounce.
The wax melt company Happy Wax claims their wax melts achieve 28 hours per ounce. Candles reach only five hours of burn time per ounce, according to Happy Wax.
Are Wax Melts Better Than Candles or Incense?
Wax melts are now included among other popular home fragrance options, like candles and incense.
Each option provides its pros and cons depending on what you want to achieve.
Incense is the best option for people who want a short burst of strong fragrance. Incense provides the opposite of a wax melt which provides a background fragrance that lasts for hours.
However, incense comes with something new to consider that the other options do not: falling ash.
Incense is a stick or cone that burns itself up completely, leaving only ash. Incense burners hold the incense so it can burn completely.
If you want a lingering scent for the whole day or a more subtle fragrance, incense is not for you.
People with curious kids or pets may also stay away from incense's prolonged, exposed burning end.
Candles provide not only a lovely fragrance but also a cozy light to a room, unlike incense.
Candles also saturate a room with scent for several hours and can contain complex, layered aromas.
However, you must be able to light a candle long enough for the wax to melt to the edge of the jar.
Not burning for long enough will drastically cut the lifespan of your candle. You must also never leave a candle unattended.
These factors mean candles are more time investment. The soot and smoke of candles come off in larger quantities, and the exposed flame also presents safety concerns.
Wax Melts
When compared head-to-head with other home fragrance options, wax melts achieve many of the advantages of the others.
Wax melts also tend to avoid the disadvantages of candles and incense.
Depending on the warmer you purchase, you can still achieve a cozy ambiance and light show like a candle.
Wax melts also pose no risk from a burning end or active flame, like incense and candles.
Wax melts provide a steady fragrance that can last for hours or a more subtle scent.
With candles or incense, you cannot control the intensity of the aroma. You can control this easily by the number of melts added to the warmer.
The speed wax melts warm-up is also an advantage to the others. Wax melts can warm up in only a few minutes, meaning you can quickly get a burst of scent.
Or you can leave it burning for several hours, a versatility not found with candles or incense.
Wax melts are a great innovation to the home fragrance market. It is easy to dispose of wax melts, and there are several ways to do so.
Find the one that best meets your needs to enjoy your wax melts for years to come.

Jeffrey Herlings and Jase Macalpine discus the shock return of Jason Lawrence racing a select round AMA Pro Motocross this year. // Jeffrey Herlings is often referred to as the fastest man alive. He is a 5x MXGP World Champion and rarely does interviews. I was fortunate enough to film a young Herlings at the McGrath ranch way back in 2013 but we haven't had any contact since then. From just that one shoot though I always knew Jeffery would make a hell of a podcast if we were ever able to make it happen and today is the day.

There is no Really hope to do Suitable Researching so Perform Very best Whatever You Can
Though lots of scholars contend the very thought of perfection in studies, it can not be disputed that not any other lone method has yielded outcome who have much better the lifetime of people than examine. Today's society provides a predicament characterized by a variety of concerns. These struggles refer to human being survival and threaten the long term presence of humankind. Therefore, humans usually need to invent some way of resolving this complications to ensure that security and safety with regards to their generations to come. Your only software for reaching these sorts of inventions is the process of analysis. Providing that analyze remains to be the only strategy for bringing in such type of remedies, it can be seriously worth boasting that there will be have high hopes to do ultimate analyze. Known to be keenly, the areas of study cause it to an excellent educational device. All investigation recreation are procedural and okay considered-out. These people have a universally recommended course that they need to adhere to as being established as real. Also, equally examine activity has got a special goal which may be unique with it and can not be propagated. It is as a result through the success of your intention which the homework method attains the so stated flawlessness. The instruments made use of in executing studies were also certified and enhanced around times. Therefore, investigate final results that happens to be well-accepted by institutions quite often comprise exceptionally minimum or no faults. A good example of a research process that indicates how inquiry produces choices are often pulled belonging to the exercises of Luis Pasteur, a French specialist who focused in Biology and Biochemistry within the 1980s. At the start, Pasteur endeavored to turn out to be natural incidence of germs. It was in contrast to former beliefs that microbes sprang out rapidly on things. He looked into and turned out to be that each one of organisms moved into pet systems using the situation. Developing organized that all of the organisms existed at the encircling, he continued with investigation on viruses. This groundwork resulted into vaccines for tuberculosis, rabies, smallpox and cholera. One more demonstration of how scientific studies improves life are in specifics and data files storage steps. Previous on, information could only travel in spoken mode turn out to be relayed individually for each person. Over studies, penning ideas were progressed. Studies deeper viewed enhancements soon after innovations that mastered paper news for material storage area and transmitting. Research and invention then produced more complex computerized sound and visible systems. Once the product of your home computer, the diskettes ended up done. They were much better to stream-lined discs. At the moment flash disks coupled with other more advanced tools can be found for the very same objective. More, a great deal more methods of switching info had been better because of the innovation of applications like Bluetooth and Infrared characteristics. The next solution of scientific studies are the on-line world and the World Wide Web which have granted rapid universal connections of individuals. This is exactly over fast expressing of text, graphic, sound, and encrypted info of unending portions at rates certainly not encountered in advance of. Therefore, an incisive examine basic research shows an operation that has been acquired as time passes. It is really worthy of declaring that during this period of production, erroneous parts needs to have been avoided out of the system now and over again. Scientific studies are currently the only widely approved equipment for managing man troubles. The bare proven fact that there may be alternative in explore is a result of unique doctors or regions fails to invalidate explore. This really is provided via the supply of mistake border. I disagree with Griffiths' document that there is no sincerely hope of doing amazing researching. There does exist expect of accomplishing appropriate explore.

July 10, 2008
The world's first iPhone 3G will go on sale in New Zealand in a matter of hours, and to be ready Apple has already launched the much anticipated App Store.
The App Store, where iPhone users can download and install new applications – carefully vetted by Apple of course – went live on Thursday.
It's not actually of any use to anyone just yet, given that iPhone owners will need to be running version 2.0 of the handset's firmware to be able to install apps, and that's not available until July 11. But you can get a taste of what's to come by firing up the iTunes Store and browsing the newly added App Store section.
This should bring up a number of the goodies iPhone users will be able to get their hands on. And it's not just for iPhone 3G owners either – version 2.0 of the software will be available as a free update for original iPhone owners from Friday.
There's already a number of free apps such as Facebook and Twitterriffic, as well as plenty of paid for stuff like Super Monkey Ball and Texas Hold'em on display.
One of the most talked about apps at the moment is the free Remote tool, which allows users to control their iTunes or Apple TV from their iPhone.
Unfortunately, the Hawaiians are going to have to wait longest of all to get their hands on the gadget.

The National Review Online has the lollowing remarks I would
like to share:
The Sisters of Life were founded in 1991 by
Cardinal John O'Connor and Mother Agnes Mary Donovan (a former Columbia
psychology professor and clinician) as a new religious community of women
dedicated to the defense of life at all stages and in all conditions. The
Sisters of Life are wholly orthodox and wear the kind of modernized (and in
their case, quite beautiful) religious habit envisioned by the Second Vatican
Council. And unlike the religious orders represented by this summer's "Nuns on
the Bus" road show, which culminated in Sister Simone Campbell's attempt to
excommunicate Representative Paul Ryan at the Democratic National Convention
(an effort that was, as President Obama might say, above Sister Simone's pay
grade), the Sisters of Life are growing, often attracting new recruits among
highly educated and accomplished professional women.
Speaking at the Knight of Columus Mass @Red Mass@.Bishop Paprocki of Springfield made clear that recent letters
from committee chairmen at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops — letters
widely cited by the Catholic Left in its demonization of Paul Ryan — were
exercises in prudential judgment that were binding on precisely no one, for
"reasonable minds can come to different conclusions about more effective ways"
to solve the social problems addressed in the letters, including hunger. Thus
Sister Simone, in telling the Democratic Convention that the Ryan budget had
been condemned by the U.S. bishops, was either woefully ignorant or willfully
malicious. And so, by extension, is every Catholic politician or activist who,
like Sister Simone, misreads both Catholic social doctrine and the authority of
letters written by USCCB chairmen, who speak for themselves, period.

Rename your sensors to customize the system for your home. Sensors have two names that can be renamed, the name the Hub announces out loud and the name displayed on the Frontpoint app. Both names can be updated to match, but you must rename both names through the steps outlined below.
Sensors have two names that can be renamed:
1) Vocal announcement names
Vocal announcement names are created with a predetermined list of selectable words - you can select up to 4 words to build your sensor name.
The Hub will announce these names aloud when the sensor is triggered.
2) Displayed names
Displayed names are free-form names where you type in the preferred name for your sensor.
These names are displayed on Myfrontpoint.com, in the Frontpoint mobile app, and in notifications from the mobile app.
The vocal announcement and displayed names are updated in different areas. While customers usually like to make these two names the same, they may be different if desired.
Please note: if you would like the two names to match and have changed one of the names, the other name will not update automatically- you must complete both steps to change both.
Instructions have been included below to guide you through the renaming process. Click on either step for more instructions:
From the home screen on MyFrontpoint.com:
1) Click on Settings at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
2) Click Control Panel Settings.
3) Find the sensor(s) you would like to rename and select up to 4 terms for the new sensor name from the drop-down selection under New Sensor Name.

Looking down the time tunnel to the Plymouth-based UK launch of the Land-Rover Discovery in October 1989, 25 years now feels like several lifetimes in automotive history.
The launch was masterminded by the marque's new owner, British Aerospace, which had somehow recently been persuaded by the government to buy remaining remnants of the vast, sprawling BL empire for the knockdown price of £150M.
Sitting in the bar of a certain Plymouth Hoe Hotel after dinner discussing current cars and the marketplace with fellow writers and the latest dynasty of Rover Group management, one fact still sticks in the mind today. Hindsight is of course wonderful – but neither my copious notes or event recollections suggest any calculated vision of how the Discovery might impact on the market it was about to enter.
Press material and company people alike saw the first all-new Land-Rover since the Range Rover – 19 years earlier – as a vital plug for a wide gap in their range.
There was no statement of bold intention to kick-start a totally new, leisure-oriented market sector or any real sign of a master plan for the Discovery to head up a new corner of the 1990's motoring landscape, or become Land-Rover's best seller – perhaps even the marque's saviour.
In 1989, the SUV concept was still in the future, so the three-door-only Discovery entered a sparsely populated sector of the British market.
The closest competition came from Japanese vehicles like the Mitsubishi Shogun, Isuzu Trooper, the Nissan Patrol and Toyota's Land Cruiser. In three-door form most of these undercut the Discovery's £18,660 starting price, though some compared more closely with the long established and more expensive Range Rover.
Today its unthinkable, but back then mainstream manufacturers didn't really do spacious, stylish, comfortable, luxurious, seven-seat 4×4 vehicles – because the modest market looked for quite modest specifications – and genuine off road ability.
1989 SMMT sales figures illustrate a very different market back then. The best-selling Ford Escort alone sold an eye-opening 181,218 units that year, while the Range Rover, then 19 years on from launch, had no automatic diesel option.It accounted for just 5027 sales – 0.25% of a 2.3 million new-car market. The Discovery thus didn't appear likely to be a major profit centre any time soon.
The morning after the speeches and mathematics, over 40 new Discoverys left the Hoe car park and added to Plymouth's traffic jams, en route to create more traffic jams in the minor lanes of Dartmoor.
Opinion was divided on the zig-zag exterior graphics, and there was puzzlement over the optional, colour keyed handbags – now collectors items – sported by some vehicles in the surprisingly spacious and plush turquoise-blue interior, crafted by Conran Design. It was alleged this created a 'contemporary edge.
'Comfort was a keynote, though the soft ride made for roll angles which limited enthusiastic cornering.
However, off road ability, tested 'somewhere on Dartmoor' fully lived up to eager anticipation – and established legend.
There was smooth, quite lively performance and – judging by the plummeting fuel gauge – depressing fuel economy from Rover's stalwart petrol V8, equipped with standard-fit manual transmission and offering, ahem, 144 horsepower.
An optional, new, 2.5 litre direct injection diesel engine mustered a mere 111 horses, which, though in their element off road, gamely struggled to cope with higher-speed life on Plymouth's dual carriageways.
The diesel provided much better economy, but refinement and power output were not its strongest points.
It was far from perfect, but it was the right car at the right time, and the Discovery has come a long way since then. From being in at the start of a new market sector, it went on to play a central role in the development of today's vast lifestyle and family oriented 4×4 marketplace, becoming a steady and consistent seller, and a key part of Land Rover's growth around the globe.
Discovery facts
1. 392,443 first-generation Discoverys were built in nine years – an average of 43,604 each year.
There were 278,570 Series II models in six years, an average of 46,428 a year. Discovery 3 reached a total of 220,057 in five years, averaging 44,011 per year.
The Discovery 4 is the current model, though the "4" badging has recently been dropped…
2. To avoid impacting on Range Rover sales, Discoverys built from original launch in 1989 were three-door models.
The five-door followed in 1990 – once the Range Rover had been pushed further upmarket with appropriately higher prices.
3. In December 1989, soon after the Discovery was launched, it was announced that the hyphen in Land-Rover was being dropped. It has not featured since.
4. A three-door Discovery Series II was built as a full-size mock-up in the mid-1990's, but no such car ever went into production.
5. The first Discoverys shared their headlights with the Freight Rover van, and rear lights with the Austin Maestro van. The door handles came from the Morris Marina…
6. A Discovery 3 was the four millionth Land Rover to leave the production lines on 8th May 2007. It was donated to one of Land Rover's key conservation sponsors – the Born Free Foundation, and deployed as a 'Rapid Response Rescue' vehicle.
7. Between 1994 and 1996, the Discovery was sold in Japan as the Honda Crossroad. It carried Honda badges, but was otherwise almost identical to the standard product.
8. By the beginning of 2014, 1,088,000 examples of the Discovery had been produced at Jaguar Land Rover's Solihull manufacturing plant in the West Midlands.
9. The Discovery has picked up 219 awards to date around the world, from both automotive titles and non-automotive bodies alike, including a 'Best of What's New' Award from US magazine Popular Science – and a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for its Terrain Response system.
10. In 2008, as part of Land Rover's 60th Anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the Royal Charter being granted to The British Red Cross by HM King Edward VII, the company donated 60 vehicles to the charity.Half of the vehicles were allocated to projects around the world and the other half were distributed throughout the UK.
Today it faces plenty of competition, but its talents are many and various: its a go-anywhere workhorse, tow car, law enforcer, people carrier, mud plugger – and much more.
Since UK introduction on 16 November 1989, the Discovery has carved its own place in motoring folklore. Twenty-five years on and well into its fourth generation, the side graphics are thankfully long gone, but it remains distinctive, competent… and unmistakeable.
Dave Moss has a lifetime connection with the world of motoring. His father was a time-served skilled engineer from an age when car repairs really meant repairs: he ran his own garage from the 1930's to the 60's, while Mum was the boss's secretary at a big Austin distributor. Both worked their entire lives in the motor trade, so if motor oil's not in Dave's blood, its surely a very close thing.
Though qualified in Electronics, for Dave it seemed a natural step into restoring a succession of classic cars, culminating in a variety of Minis. Writing and broadcasting about these, and a widening range of motoring matters ancient and modern, gathered pace in the 1970's and has taken over since. Topics nowadays range across the modern motoring mainstream to the offbeat and more arcane aspects of motoring history, and outlets embrace books, websites national and international magazines, newspapers, radio programmes, phone-ins and guest appearances. Spare time: hard graft on the garage floor attending to vehicles old and new. Latest projects: that 1968 Mini Cooper S has finally moved again after 30 years, and when the paint is finished, the 1960 Morris Mini 850 will also soon be ready for the road again…

He was given to my husband when he was
in his early teens
by his girlfriend at the time.
See the glitter name on the top?
And, not only did she put the name on the top,
but at the time she gave him the cookie jar,
it was filled with homemade cookies.
My husband remembers it well.
And, let's just say the cookie jar is now officially "old"!!
It is plastic, in perfect condition,
and oh-so-cool!
I love getting the cookie jar out each year and
filling him up once again
with Christmas treats.
I love decorations that come with their
own special story.
Last year my husband saw
the girl that gave him this present
at a funeral.
He told her that we still have the cookie jar
and that I love it.
I found her on FB and sent
her the above pic.
She wrote back that she and her mom (the cookie-maker)
both got tears in their eyes
that I would keep it and
treasure it so much!
Oh, Christmas!!!

Overcoming Weariness in Financial Struggles
Welcome back to another episode of Your Money, Your Life podcast. I'm your host, Aimee Cerka.
Let's talk about keeping at it when things are tough, okay.
There is a lot of tough situations going on. And you know, creating unstoppable finances and stepping into unstoppable finances does not mean that there's not going to be tough times. I've never promised that I never will. But keeping at it, when things are tough, can be hard. I mean, let's be transparent here, like we feel beat down.
There is sometimes this facade even that we put on that it's not something that we can even talk about because of whether that's our ego or pride or something else that's going on this external influence that we can't show people how much we're really struggling. And you know what, there's different degrees of struggling, like there is hitting rock bottom, which I kind of feel like we've done several times. And there's just like struggling where it's not as easy as it was before and things are changing.
Understanding the Roller Coaster of Life
And you know those fears come up because you know, we have those money mindset stories that are showing up time and time again, that we were aware of those things, but they're not gone. Some of those things will still come up and even if that fear is getting to you. I just want to tell you, if you've been doing the work and you're struggling to keep at it because there's a tough time going on right now, I just want you to know, I see you and I want you to have support.
If you don't have that supportive community just like to lock arms with you to work with you to move forward, I'm going to put some resources inside the show notes, that's what Money Masters Inner Circle Academy is going to be all about. You know, Money Mindset Makeover Blueprint is still available. Doors are gonna be closing, or bonuses are going to be ending, price is going to go up, price is going to change, all those things in just a couple days.
But if you're if you're struggling with that, I want you to have support, I want you to know that you have somebody in your corner because I've been there.
I know what we've been there like recently where things happen. We took pay-cuts, we've done things to prioritize other parts of our life. And you know, we set these game plans, they don't always work out the way that we thought they would and sometimes you're struggling in that. And you know what, that is okay.
It's okay that we're on a roller coaster of life, we're just working. When you create those unstoppable finances, the lows aren't as low as they could be because you've done the work. It's less painful, you're still secure financially. But that doesn't mean that it's not hard and there's not still a struggle there. I don't want you to feel like you're alone, if you're struggling with keeping at it in a tough time.
But the other part, it's the other side of things that I wanted to speak to today, is really just keeping at it when things were tough which was just on my heart.
So we kind of impromptu, added that into the podcast today because I think it's important that you know that, that you can do this. Just keep at it, and you do have people supporting you. But alright, let's get to it.
The Truth is Sweet, but Sometimes Knockdowns Occur
The truth is sweet to the ears, but there's like another part of that statement that we leave out. Truth is sweet to the ears, but sometimes knocks you down first, okay?
I am never here to guilt you. That is never my goal. There's no guilt, there's no shame, there's no, like, not even really blame here. The point here is I'm here to tell you the truth and I'm here to help you discover the truth for yourself.
And the truth is, often, even if those whole fears are showing up because things are tough, we're looking back. And if we're looking back at the past, it's preventing us from moving forward. It's preventing that forward progress and projecting those past hurts into our present and into our future. It's just holding you back and I don't want that for you.
So just know the truth, we do hear that, like I hear it all the time when I talk on, you know, the creating unstoppable finances like that signature thing that I teach you, and how we shouldn't focus on paying off debt and how we should focus on our net worth. And how many times I hear like, "That makes so much sense." But sometimes it kind of like knocks you down first, because it's like we've been doing this wrong isn't the right word, we've been doing this not the best way for so long, or it just feels so different. It kind of like takes your breath away almost for a minute while you regain that.
Doing the Right Work and Visualization
And that kind of brings me to the next point, like the truth is, it's not just doing the work.
And we know that it's doing the right work. We have to visualize. We have to visualize where we're going. So are you doing these things? Are you doing the mindset work, even if it's tough, even if things are going great, so that we're not getting knocked down? Because our belief is powerful.
Imagine how powerful you can be if you step into how powerful you will be when you step into what you're looking towards and you stop looking back. At the past and the past stories in the past failures, everything we've done. You stop looking back.
Projecting Forward Progress
And if you start doing that smart work now, like I said, you're going to have those unstoppable finances. You're going to get past that whole like being knocked down. You have those unstoppable finances. So when tough times come, because I think we've all figured out that stuff happens even if it's not things that are out of our control.
There are things that we can control and things that we can. World Economy, you can't really control that, okay? So when things happen, that are outside of our control when you've done the work that you need to, it's not as painful.
And I'm not discounting anything that's going on right now either in the world, anything that you're struggling with personally. I just want you to know that there's a better way out there, there's an easier way and it doesn't have to be this hard. We have to stop looking back on the past and we don't even realize we're doing this.
You've probably noticed the theme as we've gotten ready for Money Mindset Makeover Blueprint, and like now that it's available, and that you can join us and all of those things. It doesn't have to be real. And I can't stress that enough because often, you know, we're in the jar. I think we've talked about the pickled jar analogy before, but here we go, again.
You're in the jar, you're in the pickle jar, and you're trying to climb out, like you can't see the way to get out, right? But if you have somebody on the outside showing you, like, okay, hey, step here, step here, avoid this spot, you're gonna get out that much faster. And that's why it's so powerful because sometimes we don't even look, realize that we're almost going in circles in our pickle jar because we're looking back at the past, and all the past mistakes that we've made.
And I heard, especially as women, that we have a tendency to do this, that we take our faults and proceed failures more harshly than men do. I don't know if that's true, I know that I've had a tendency in the past, to beat myself up as well. So I can definitely speak to that, that we do those things on a continual basis.
Recap and Takeaway
Let's recap what I want you to take away from today. I want you to keep at it even if things are tough. I want you to know that I am here to tell you the truth. I'm here to be on your side. I'm not here to guilt you, but I do want you to know that looking back prevents forward progress and I don't want you to project those past hurts into your present into your future any longer because you have an impact that you were called to make. And the longer that we are holding ourselves back, the more people that are suffering because we aren't making the impact that we were called to make.
It's not just about doing the work. So if you're doing the work, doing all the things, we have to do the smart work we had to visualize. We have to believe where we're going to go and what you're stepping into so that we'll stop looking back and start doing the smart work. You are powerful you are unstoppable and that is exactly what I want for you.

Khloe Kardashian Thanks Kris Jenner For Always Putting Family 1st, Except When She Accepted $1 Mill Fashion Nova Ad That Kim Kardashian Turned Down!
It's not Mother's Day, but Khloe Kardashian is still professing her love for mom Kris Jenner. On Friday, she posted an open letter to the Kardashian Jenner matriarch, expressing just how much she loves her mother. She also references Kris accepting a lucrative Fashion Nova ad recently, despite Kim Kardashian allegedly turning down the deal.
Last month, in an interview, Kim referenced a company that offered her a million for an Instagram post. She explained that the company, which she didn't identify, offered lots, but often copied Kanye's fashion line. Based on Khloe's post, Kim may have been referring to Fashion Nova. [Click here for the backstory].
Anywho, see Khloe's sweet message below.
This is a "Just Because" post
Thank you does not begin to describe the amount of respect, appreciation and LOVE that I have for you, but I do need you to know that you are my hero.
I hope to live up to the mom you have been to us. (Regardless of what Kourt thinks JK lol) seriously, how did WE get so lucky to have you? WE have the cheat codes to mommy-hood
Thank you for being selfless. You continuously put us before yourself and you never think twice about it. (Except when it comes to paid Instagram posts but I ain't mad at you for gettin that money honey)
Thank you for being one of my very best friends, but most of all, thank you for being my mommy. If I could, I would choose you a million times!!

Training – Off-season: Race is over, now what?
By Vinnie Santana, coach, ironguides.net
Your last race of the season is behind you and it is time to take that well deserved break. However you know how much work you put in to get to where you are right now, and if you would like to preserve most of your new fitness level, you should stay active in the off-season while you train certain things.
Approach it as a maintenance phase rather than aiming to improve. You know you will lose some fitness and that is part of the process as it will give your body a break and boost your motivation for next season, however, to stay fit you still need to do some work, especially if you are a beginner without a swimming background. The list below will provide you a guideline on what you should do:
- Swim often
Minimum once a week, ideally twice. Swimming is a very skilled sport that you lose the feel for it very fast, unlike cycling or running. Use a different pool or swim open water if you can to mix things up a little
You don't need to swim for too long or too intensity, but just being in the water and do some laps will maintain your feel for it. Twenty minutes is enough.
- Focus on strength and speed:
Whenever you are out, do a quick set of speed or strength in any of the disciplines, these are the core of your fitness and unlike endurance if you loose it, it takes longer to recover.
On the bike or run you can head to the hills and just let the course help you with your effort, ride it hard up and run it fast down. In the pool do some casual sprints across the pool.
- Avoid longer sessions:Endurance comes and goes very easily. Let it go for now, a month or so of a good training plan once you are back and you will be fit as before.Another reason is to also let your hormonal system restore, staying away from long workouts will be beneficial to bring the "building" hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone up, and decrease the catabolic hormones like cortisol. Ideally keep sessions to shorter than forty minutes
- Execise often:Note the word exercise rather than training. Just get the heart rate beating with other sports or activities. If swimbikerun, just head out for casual and unstructured sessions.Short, frequent and easy sessions boost your metabolism without draining your motivation and has no negative response on your endrocrine system. You will also feel more relaxed with a little bit of endorphin, another hormonal response that makes you feel good and relaxed
- Get a mental breakAvoid the triathlon media or the internet to restore motivation. In terms of burnout, 99% of the causes are MENTAL/NEURAL. When we tap our entire being in one way without giving ourselves a break, we are in "always on" mode.Triathlon forums, websites, magazines, stores, people — this always-the-same-thing preoccupation, night and day, flattens us. Our entire nervous system breaks down. People burn out on non-physically demanding things like fly fishing.
It's not just physical. Your challenge right now is not so much to recover physically as that you need to give yourself a rest from all things triathlon.
- Be patient when back on the training planif you stayed fit in the offseason, you will be in decent shape once you get back to your training plan but still off your previous splits or paces. Don't rush things. As a general rule, it takes as long to get back in shape to how long you were taking a break.Aim to build the consistency first, then add the volume and only after a couple weeks you add the intensity into the mix. You will be fresh, motivated and raring to go, this is a dangerous combination thay can potentially make you train too hard, wait until you have a decent level of fatigue before you push
Enjoy your training and have a great end of season!

With its ocean of machines that scream false promises of cover-model bodies while banking on the fact that over half of its members will not use the place and neglect to cancel their recurring billing. I've often slammed the corporate gym with creative prose, while taking great pride in my windowless facility's cinder block walls and concrete floors that was once described by a local newspaper reporter as looking like a hidden CIA interrogation room.
But like so many small business pipe dreams, my gym workouts are gone. And so are the 14-hour work-days I spent trying to keep the doors open. With too much free time on my hands I needed a reason to get out of the house – so I signed on the recurring billing dotted line for a corporate gym membership. And the truth is, I'm enjoying my new escape haven.
Sure, it's not without its flaws. But overall, I'm finding the good outweighs the bad – and the ugly.
The Corporate Gym…
The Good
Barbells: I'm happy to say I have returned to squatting and deadlifting. Yes, I have a pretty sweet equipment set up at home but I do not have barbells and plates. The corporate gym I train at has plenty of barbells, four power racks, and all of the plates I could ever desire in my wildest heavy squat dreams.
Swimming Pool: I am a terrible swimmer. I'm not going to drown in the pool or anything, but I usually have to rest after just one 25 meter lap. I figure my poor technique means I'm expending lots of energy and making for a good workout. 🙂 Technique be damned, I'm enjoying my time in the pool and the challenges that come with developing a new skill.
iPod: I always train alone. And when my gym was open, I mean ALONE – usually no one else was even in the building. But even at the huge corporate gym with lots of people milling around, I'm having no problem enjoying some alone time. I'm wearing an iPod. The cute girl I'd normally be tempted to strike up a conversation with is wearing an iPod. Damn near everyone is wearing an iPod. Modern technology may be ruining communication between people, but I appreciate the iPod-assisted "silence" while I'm training.
24 Hour Access: If I'm having a sleepless night, I like having a place to go that gives me a healthy option instead of watching some crappy movie or eating some junk food out of boredom. Sure I could just do some push-ups in my living room or read a book. But leaving the house, having a light workout, and then returning home seems to set me up better for sleep.
The Bad
The Locker Room: I'm more than pleased with the cleanliness of the locker room where I train – that's not the problem. What I'm not pleased with are the yelling matches over where Lebron James will end up and the guy who has to spread his entire wardrobe across the bench. A little common courtesy goes a long way when you have to share space with people you don't know. Unfortunately, some people lack common courtesy.
No Circuit Training: I'm a fan of setting up circuits of multiple exercises for metabolic conditioning. But stringing together a workout of box jumps, power cleans, pull ups, and push presses will not only be a potential safety hazard in the sea of people aimlessly wandering from machine to machine, it will also make you look like an equipment hog. I keep my training at the corporate gym focused on strength and muscle building, and save my heart cranking circuit work for my back yard sessions.
Curls In The Rack: I know it's cliche, but I've seen it more than once already – guys doing barbell curls in the power rack. That being said, because squats and standing presses aren't exactly the most popular exercises at this gym, one of the four power racks is always available. It's that availability that is keeping the rack-curls in "the bad" and not in "the ugly".
The Ugly
Personal Trainers: Even with my iPod blasting and my training face on, I can't avoid seeing the personal trainer taking what is obviously a weight loss client through a set of lateral raises. I grit my teeth, avert my gaze, and move to another part of the gym. But I know several times each week I will see such transgressions and it is an exercise of restraint to keep my mouth shut.
No Training Journals: I've been training at this gym for three weeks now. I am the ONLY person I've seen writing down what they are doing in their training sessions. Don't get me wrong, someone who has been training for years and is in maintenance mode can get away with this. But people who are on a serious fat loss or learning how to build muscle, especially those who are relatively new to training, are on a path to no-results if they aren't tracking their training.
Texting: It's just a pet peeve of mine and I suppose I should get over it… but why the hell can't you leave your cell phone in your locker while you're training? Oh, you're a heart surgeon on call that day – my mistake and my apologies. Oh, you're an average guy trying to set up a hot date for later that night – put the phone away, make her wait 30 minutes, get some damned focus, and maybe you can put some more weight on that bench press you naturally gravitate towards.
To my surprise, I am enjoying my time in the behemoth corporate gym. Sure, there are some things that I don't like – but few things are perfect.
What is your experience in the big corporate facilities? Do you enjoy training there? Or are the "bad" and the "ugly" not worth the hassle. Let me know in the comments below.

Gender shows up in a lot of places in our lives. Public bathrooms ask us to sort ourselves -- are you a "ladies" or "gentlemen" restroom person? Your driver's license most likely has a spot to mark you as "female" or "male." Looking for a pair of jeans? They're separated into at least two places in a store, so go wander to the "men's" or "women's" clothing sections. The world treats gender as if it's something easy, obvious, and straightforward. There are two teams, and we should all stay in our assigned lanes. But what if those lanes don't fit?
The truth is, gender is way richer and more interesting than two straight lanes. Here are some common myths about gender, debunked.
Lots of people try to argue that gender is reducible to something like biological sex. They say it's simple, people with XX chromosomes are women and people with XY chromosomes are men, end of story.
Turns out, this isn't true! Biological markers of "sex" -- like all things human -- don't fit neatly into rigid boxes. If you're someone who likes to nerd out about biology, you might already know that there are lots of twists and turns in human development. Whether our bodies develop ovaries or testicles (or both or neither!!) is influenced by our chromosomes, signals that turn our genes on/off, and stuff that influences our development both before and after we're born. There are LOTS of pieces at play! And that means that our bodies and brains often don't develop in the XX=female and XY=male ways.
Some people have XY chromosomes and ovaries, some people have XXY chromosomes, and that's just the beginning. Sometimes people who have these kinds of developmental paths are called "intersex." The truth is, biological sex is wild and cool and complicated, and there's a lot about the process we still don't understand. So if anyone tries to tell you that gender is just sex and this stuff is just obvious, send them back to the science!
Some people like to claim that there really are just two ways people relate to their gender. They can either be cisgender (where the gender they were assigned at birth feels like it fits accurately) or transgender. Some people like to use "transgender" or "trans*" as an umbrella term for anyone who feels that the gender they were assigned at birth does NOT feel like it fits accurately. A lot of people prefer not to use that umbrella term though! People who are non-binary (whose gender are neither "male" nor "female"), who are gender fluid (whose gender might change and fluctuate), who are gender non-conforming (who don't adhere to the typical norms of "their gender"), or who are agender (who don't consider themselves to have any gender at all) may or may not identify as trans*.
For therapists who work with trans and gender diverse folks, it's really common for us to hear from people who feel shame and confusion that they didn't somehow "always know" their gender. Maybe you're a teen who is thinking about your own gender, and wondering why your experience is different from a friend who knew they were trans in preschool! Sometimes people don't know what to make of the fact that they're unsure what their gender is, or are still questioning. Does it mean they're not "really" trans or gender diverse?
The answer is no! There are lots of reasons why some people are aware of their genders earlier in their lives and some people need more time. Having really good models of gender diversity in our lives can help -- it's hard to imagine all the gender possibilities all by ourselves! And there is still a lot of unjust stigma around being gender diverse. It can be hard to think about this stuff when you're not sure how the people around you will react.
So no, taking time -- even years or decades -- being unsure of your gender doesn't mean your gender isn't real, or that there's something wrong with you. We all move at our own pace, and all paces are good.
If you see someone wearing an amazing frock, do you immediately think their pronouns are she/her? Or if someone identifies as non-binary, do you expect them to always dress in "androgynous" clothes? No? Good, because this is a myth!
Many people's aesthetics have nothing to do with their gender, and more and more often, people are explicitly challenging what it means to dress like a "man" or a "woman." This is great, because how weird is it that we think of pieces of fabric as somehow being gendered?! So if you're a non-binary theybe and love to rock a dapper look, cool! If you're a trans man who loves his femme fashion, awesome!
This extends to bodies too! Just like clothing has nothing to do with gender, neither does what we choose to do or not do with our bodies. For some people, medical transition can help reduce gender dysphoria and make us feel more at home in our bodies. For others, the idea that we're "supposed" to alter our bodies to make ourselves align with someone else's idea of gender can feel (and be!) oppressive. And some people who want to don't have the safe opportunity or economic resources to transition, but their identity is every bit as real. Your body, like your style, is yours. You get to decide what feels right.
Talking about gender helps take power away from myths. Here's the bottom line: there are a lot of ways to have a gender, and none of them are wrong.

Penticton's Tempest Theatre wants to encourage more locals to get involved in the burgeoning local film industry.
With a growing demand for trained and available local actors, the Tempest Theatre and Film Society has been working to expand the roster of local talent with courses and events designed to help new and developing actors.
With the pandemic putting many productions on hold and creating backlogs for other locations, production companies looked to other locations such as the Okanagan to bring their film and television shoots.
"Aside from the stunning landscapes and the variety of locations our region presents, external production companies are attracted by the tax credits offered to projects that shoot in rural areas and employ local talent and crew," said Okanagan film commissioner Jon Summerland. "It's a significant edge we have on the usual filming centres such as the Lower Mainland, but we have to have the people here to do the work or we will lose this opportunity."
The sudden burst in activity has already seen impacts on the availability of local labour and talent, and Tempest is aiming to address any shortages with local training.
Artistic director Kate Twa has seen this kind of accelerated industry growth before and recognizes the challenges and opportunities that come with it.
"I watched the rapid growth of the industry in Vancouver in the 90s and have ideas on how to encourage and support healthy development here in the valley," said Twa. "I think it will get busier and busier."

Thanks to a partnership with Community Futures Okanagan Similkameen and a recent Impact Grant from the BC Arts Council, Tempest is now able to build out a suite of skills training sessions for actors. Starting with foundational techniques, classes range from a few hours, to several days, to an application-only nine-day acting intensive. Skills taught include traditional theatrical techniques, script analysis, audition training, and on-set protocols.
"We are offering classes to a full range of students," said Twa. "To those who may want to try something new, improve public speaking and explore fun techniques to amplify expression and connection, as well as to those pursuing a career in acting."

At a certain point I noticed that after upgrading my dirt roads to the superdeluxe version to get trucks to actually reach their top speed, the cars from towns inhabitants also started to use these roads and would reach up to speeds of 100kph. This became so much of a problem I had to delete parts of my road network to make my trains profitable again, also it created MASSIVE traffic jams in towns. The removal of these roads worked like a charm, but do I really have to delete the road networks between cities just to keep my passenger count for my trains up? September 11, 2014 at 20:08 #7432 RickDParticipant You don't have to delete your roads, but you need to make your trains more efficient by using faster trains and better bus services to feed the train station. I agree that travel time shouldn't be the only factor in deciding whether people use your services or not but implementing other factors (gas prices, parking costs / availability etc.) would be a pretty complicated process I would imagine Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The forum 'General Discussion' is closed to new topics and replies.

Examining risk and benefit perceptions utilised in the formation of attitudes and opinions about emerging technologies such as nanotechnology can be useful for both industry and policy makers involved in their development, implementation and regulation. A broad range of different socio-psychological and affective factors may influence consumer responses to different applications of nanotechnology, including ethical concerns. A useful approach to identifying relevant consumer concerns and innovation priorities is to develop predictive constructs which can be used to differentiate applications of nanotechnology in a way which is meaningful to consumers. This requires elicitation of attitudinal constructs from consumers, rather than measuring attitudes assumed to be important by the researcher. Psychological factors influencing societal responses to 15 applications of nanotechnology drawn from different application areas (e.g. medicine, agriculture and environment, food, military, sports, and cosmetics) were identified using repertory grid method in conjunction with generalized Procrustes analysis. The results suggested that people differentiate nanotechnology applications based on the extent to which they perceive them to be beneficial, useful, necessary, and important. The benefits may be offset by perceived risks focusing on fear and ethical concerns. Compared to an earlier study, consumers emphasized ethical issues compared to expert perceptions of consumer concerns, but had less concern regarding potential physical contact with the product and time to market introduction. Consumers appeared less concerned about food related applications than experts perceived that they would be.

Here's a quick and friendly PSA to all our gamers anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mario on Android: the wait is still on. There is no current way to play Super Mario Run on Android.
So when you see APKs floating about claiming to deliver the game you so crave, remember that it's not official. In fact, one such APK seems to be housing a dangerous form of malware known as Marcher which can read your SMS files and snag your banking info.
As we always say, you should mostly be looking to the Google Play Store for any apps you need as these apps typically don't make it past Google's gatekeepers. And if you absolutely need to download a third-party APK, be absolutely sure that you can trust its source.
As for Super Mario Run, make sure you sign up to be notified when it launches on Android at the Google Play Store. This way, you'll get a notification the moment it drops and you can have your fun without the headache of also dealing with a crisis of stolen identity.
