+ Fight Pet Cancer
Colorado State University (CSU) Flint Animal Cancer Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, is one of the University program partners receiving funding through the Petco Foundation's Pet Cancer Awareness campaign. Through this support, they are able to provide subsidized care to help pet parents afford the costs of advanced cancer surgeries and treatments. In the program's first year, CSU was able to provide 33 veterinary oncology patients with subsidized care.
"Some cancers are easier and less expensive to treat than others," says Susan Lana, DVM, ACVIM-Oncology, Clinical Oncology Service Chief, Flint Animal Cancer Center, at CSU. "But sometimes the only good treatment protocol involves complex surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or a combination of treatments, which can be expensive for the pet owner. All of the cancer cases we treat are complex in nature requiring advanced care that would not have been possible otherwise for most pet owners."
"Lana says the best part of the program is saving lives. "
Lana says the best part of the program is saving lives. Each case presents opportunities for her team to help each patient with specialized care, while increasing their knowledge about cancer that can be used to benefit future patients.
Here are a few of the patients treated by CSU's Flint Animal Cancer Center since the program began.
"Superhero" dog battles several cancers
Tony DiTirro adopted Stoli, a six-year-old Weimaraner, from Mile High Weimaraner Rescue in Denver, Colorado, in 2008.
"Before I was lucky enough to have him in my life, he was a prison rehab dog," says DiTirro. "His owner took him to work at the prison where inmates got to work with him and teach him commands. That is how I got a super-intelligent dog."
Tony says Stoli "doesn't have a mean bone in his body," but jokes that he is a bit of bed hog. "He loves to sleep in my bed, and every once in a while, he lets me sleep in it too," says Tony.
At 13-years-old, Stoli suddenly was lethargic and vomiting, so his veterinarian ran some tests, and in the process, discovered he had an enlarged prostrate. DiTirro took him to CSU where he was diagnosed with prostatic carcinoma, which metastasized to his lungs and lymph nodes.
CSU provided a $5,000 Pet Treatment Grant to cover Stoli's intensity modulated radiation therapy to stabilize and shrink the tumor. He's also had several rounds of chemotherapy over an 18-month period, which has kept the cancer from spreading further.
While not in remission, Stoli's cancer has been stable for the past several months. Stoli is moving at a slower pace these days, both physically and mentally. At 15, he's experiencing some health problems commonly found in aging pets, like hearing loss and severe arthritis.
"Stoli has the mind of an elderly person," says DiTirro. "He's been on earth for a long time and if he wants to stop and smell the flowers, you just have to wait for him to do. I don't mind; I think once you get to be 15, you deserve that."
As a professional photographer, Tony dresses and photograph dogs, including Stoli, as superheroes in honor of the role they play in our lives. "Stoli is definitely my superhero," says DiTirro.
Newly adopted dog diagnosed with brain tumor
Niki Tulk volunteers one day a week at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in Boulder, Colorado. Last summer, she met and fell in love with Charlotte, a seven-year-old terrier/dachshund mix. "She wasn't very animated," says Tulk. "She was a quiet dog who loved to sleep and snuggle."
In February 2017, however, Charlotte developed uncontrollable seizures. Her veterinarian referred her to CSU where a $5,000 Pet Treatment Grant helped cover an MRI that confirmed a brain tumor. Charlotte received three high doses of radiation therapy to shrink the tumor.
"We didn't know she was dealing with a brain tumor when we adopted her," says Tulk. "Since the treatments, she's been a different dog. She's more playful and feisty, and is chasing balls and barking more. The grant saved Charlotte's life."
Niki Tulk says Charlotte is a therapy dog for her 13-year-old daughter, Corrina, who wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. Tulk says Corrina talks with the CSU vets all the time about Charlotte's treatments, and ensures Charlotte has everything she needs at home to recover.
"Charlotte has helped our family in so many ways," says Tulk. "She is much more than a family dog; she is our dog angel."
Nose bleeds lead to aggressive cancer diagnosis
In 2003, Kathie and Chris Bluejacket of Colorado Springs, Colorado, adopted a Swedish Lapphund through Petfinder.com. "He was more than a year old and was starved and a little feisty," Kathie recalls.
But Rusty gained weight in his new home, and over the years became a loving and affectionate dog. When Rusty turned 13-years-old, he started having serious nose bleeds. His veterinarian referred him to CSU where doctors diagnosed an aggressive nasal tumor located in the bone between the nasal cavity and the brain.
"The tumor was not operable, so there was no way to make it completely go away," says Kathie.
Doctors at CSU recommended specialized high-dose radiation therapy to shrink the tumor and provided a $5,000 Pet Treatment Grant to help cover the costs. Rusty spent five days in ICU.
A month later, however, Rusty was still having nosebleeds. "I could see he didn't feel well," says Kathie. "He would go in the backyard and start digging a hole. It looked like he was digging his own grave."
Local doctors followed by starting Rusty on chemotherapy and other medications that Kathie still administers daily. Within a few weeks, the bloody noses decreased significantly, and have since stopped altogether.
"Rusty is back to his silly and loving self," says Kathie. "I know because he loves to go hiking with us, and during a recent hiking trip he kept up with my husband who is faster than me, but kept running back to me as if to say, 'hurry up.' He's a very special dog, and it's so great to have him doing well again."
Each May, the Petco Foundation teams up with Blue Buffalo and Petco for the Pet Cancer Awareness campaign to fight pet cancer. Thanks to donations raised during this campaign, the Petco Foundation is able to partner with treatment centers like CSU's Flint Animal Cancer Center to help pet parents afford the costs of pet cancer treatment.
Make a donation today to join the fight.

For those of you that have been following along, we picked up a hitchhiker about a week ago as my family drove back roads home from St. Louis to Wichita. We acquired a female Ornate Box Turtle which my boys named Flora. Upon bringing Flora home my wife Kate and I did some research and came to the conclusion that the right thing to do was return Flora to her home since Ornate Box Turtles are protected reptiles in Kansas and tend to have shorter lifespans in captivity than the 50-100 years suspected in the wild. So…last Saturday we packed the boys into the car and made the 3 hour round trip drive to Flora's home: A bridge just north-east of Toronto, KS on highway 54.
Flora spent her 6 days living in our back yard plotting multiple escapes and nearly succeeding twice. I was in awe of her burrowing capabilities and her complete distrust of me despite feeding her multiple leaves, watermelon slices, and apples was a good reminder that this was a wild reptile that belonged in her own home. When I found her the week prior I was convinced I was doing the right thing by saving her…keeping her from being squashed in the road. After seeing her desperately looking for her home and being miserable in an enclosure it was a clear decision. Flora needs to go home. We told the boys, "Flora has had a nice stay with us but she needs to go home to her mommy and daddy now, her family misses her and she misses them." Max (3) understood this while Dodge (1) smashed a cracker into the seat.
Without much fanfare I placed Flora under the bridge by the river that fed into Cedar Creek and eventually Toronto Lake in hopes she might go under the bridge this time instead of over it where cars and trucks rumble by. She thanked me by peeing on me one last time before scurrying into the deep grass she seemed to know so well and hiding in the mud of her home. She did look back to study me and I like to think she was thinking, "Thank you…thank you for bringing me home." When in fact she was probably thinking, "Don't ever touch me again you stupid flesh bucket!" More than likely she was thinking, "Muhlbc;hu elsf h;FH…" because turtles can't speak.
We counted 17 turtles in the road that day, one of which was about the size of a basketball and trapped on the median of the Turnpike as cars whizzed past at 80 miles per hour. We didn't count the squashed ones but we did watch one get killed by an unsuspecting mini van. I narrowly missed one making a break for the other side and was impressed by it's speed…which gave me hope. The whole thing made me feel sad and acutely aware of how something as simple as a road bisects animal's habitats and changes migrations and nature forever. It reminded me of Robert Moses and how the Cross Bronx Expressway forever changed neighborhoods like Tremont in New York City when neighbors were suddenly divided by a seemingly endless 6 lane highway. I like to think Flora went home that night to her tribe and forever told stories about that wild week she survived among the flesh buckets from outer space! I like to think she'll live for decades…longer than me. I like to think she made it to the other side of the road. I like to think a lot of things about Flora the Ornate Box Turtle…but the one thing I know is that my family and I did the right thing. So, if you see a turtle in the middle of the road…don't take it with you. Pull over, gently pick it up and place it on the side of the road in the same direction it was facing or heading. Its like helping a little old lady across the street. It takes a few seconds out of your busy, busy, busy day…but its the right thing to do.

In February 2018, the Queen of England declared war on plastic. By banning plastic straws and bottles from staff kitchens and public cafes at royal estates around the UK, she hopes to slow down the shocking effects that human demand for plastic is having on our environment. With scientists predicting that plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish by 2050, it's not surprising that the Queen has joined the "green" side. She's not the only one taking steps to reverse the damage though, as the popularity of Zero Waste Basel's first workshop of 2018 showed.
The wonderful pow(d)er of baking soda
Around twenty people came together last week to learn about the magic of baking soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) and how it can help to not only reduce the amount of plastic we use, but to also minimize the load of toxic chemicals we unwittingly put into our bodies on a daily basis which then get flushed out the drains, ending up in the sea. Baking soda has been helping our cakes to rise, de-clogging our drains, and even helping with heartburn for over a hundred years. By mixing this magic powder with a handful of other natural ingredients, we were able to make our very own toothpaste, deodorant and oven cleaner to take home, reducing the need for single-use products almost always packaged in plastic. Not only does this help protect our nature, it makes our cupboards at home look a lot less cluttered and reduces our spending!
For many, the idea of putting baking soda onto their toothbrush was a little questionable, but how much do we really know about what triclosan, a common ingredient in commercial toothpastes, does to our health? Does the thought of putting this pesticide, as it is classified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, into our mouths twice or three times a day sound appealing? Probably not. And do we really want to risk putting chemicals directly onto our skin which have been shown to disrupt our hormonal balances and cause cancer of the breast and prostate? If your answer is no, try out some homemade recipes to find natural products that suit you best.
Overcoming hesitations
Participants at the workshop held at the Abfüllerei store (where, by the way, you can buy as much package-free baking soda as you need) learned about its abilities as a stain-remover, its anti-bacterial properties and its power to fight off bad breath. Many were surprised by how easy it was to make their own products using mostly ingredients that they already had at home. All participants left fully motivated to continue at home and see what other products they could make for themselves. For some, this workshop was especially what they needed to overcome the initial hesitations and actually start trying and using these homemade products. "The workshop was really hands-on and now I can take the products home knowing where to get the ingredients and start experimenting myself.'' You can test it out yourself by trying out some of the recipes of Zero Waste Basel (on their Facebook page), or by browsing our Zero Waste guides online (soon also available in English).
Are you joining in?
Take part in the discussion, get answers to your questions and join us (and the Queen) in the Zero Waste movement by visiting the Facebook pages of Zero Waste Basel and Zero Waste Switzerland, and taking part in upcoming events. We'd love to see you there.

BYU is dropping sports.
It's shocking, but the school, after building a tradition of competitive teams for decades, is giving NCAA athletics the heave-ho because … well, the mission of the unique religious institution includes more important, more sweeping goals. Its real priorities lie elsewhere, especially as the rigors and costs, maybe the complexities and ramifications of modern college sports ride a rocket to a place BYU's Board of Trustees no longer wants to go.

Mobile working demographics
The demographics of who benefits most from trends in mobile working are not as obvious as you'd think. Remote working typically benefits an older workforce, not those just starting out in their careers.
The demographics of who benefits most from trends in mobile working are not as obvious as you'd think. Remote working typically benefits an older workforce, not those just starting out in their careers.
If current systems don't adapt to the changes being brought about by digital, social and mobile trends, new ones will come along and replace them
For all the new developments in communications involving social media tools, email continues to be a daily burden for most information and knowledge-based roles. And mobile devices ensure we can access it (just about) anywhere. Here are two simple tips that could help significantly reduce the volume of email at work and free up time to go do something more interesting instead. (Brits of a certain age should start humming 'Why don't you..?') Genuine spam emails… well that's a whole other matter. But there really is no excuse for business spam draining productivity.
The first tip is technology-focused. Change the medium. Email is great for person-to-person questions and answers, and prompts that don't require an instant response. If somebody is busy with something else, all email can wait. But at least it is stacked up in a neat digital pile waiting to be dealt with. But many communications do require an instant response and work is increasingly collaborative beyond two people. Relying on email for these scenarios creates unnecessary overheads and distractions.
Two channels can help reduce ineffective email: instant messaging and enterprise social networks.
Instant messaging trumps email when an instant response is needed. Presence status (online or offline) gives an immediate indication of the likelihood of getting a response – you only message with people who are currently online. This saves sending an email out to multiple people, only for all but one to find out they didn't need to bother reading it because the one had already provided a response. Instant messaging can also be used for 1:1 and group-based chats. Sessions can be recorded if the content has any value for non-participants to view on-demand later. But instant messaging is at its best for rapid real-time interactions. Answer the question, close the chat window and move on, no need to file the outcome.
Enterprise social networks (ESN) trump email for conversations involving more than two participants, providing an organised threaded conversation that new members can easily join and catch-up on what has already been said or shared. ESNs can be updated in real-time like instant messaging, but can also pause whilst people get on with other matters, later returning to check on updates and comment if necessary. They can be tagged, making it easier to find and join discussions, and avoid duplicating the same conversation in multiple different silo'd groups, as can often happen when using email.
The second tip is people-focused. Change habits. Whilst many people are quick to moan about how many unnecessary emails they receive at work, they are often as guilty as the next person for adding to the overload. Are people hitting 'cc-all/reply-all' because they think everyone needs to be informed of the response or because they want to be seen to be communicating? How many emails are sent out in bulk 'for information purposes'. All of those should be up on an intranet, not bouncing around messaging networks. Use email for the exceptions, the alerts, the prods where action is required from that specific individual, the recipient of the email.
A simple rule of thumb – if people are setting up rules to automatically route incoming emails of a certain type to a certain folder, that email isn't worth sending.
The quickest and easiest way to reduce email within an organisation is to start at the top, with management. If people are suffering from the 'cover your arse' syndrome that is cc-all/reply-all, that's a management issue. If people are distributing out standard reports and updates where no action is required, that's a management issue. And the excuse is always the same: '…it's the way things are done around here'. So to change is simple. Get managers to stop doing it and others will soon follow.
And if you don't believe me, a report has been produced by other consultants who have found exactly the same outcome and quantified the results. As reported in the Harvard Business Review last month. Targeting just the senior management team within an organisation, the goal was to cut their email output by 20% within four months. Within three months, total email output from the group had dropped by 54% and the ripple effects led to a 64% drop across all employees.
The report can be viewed online: To Reduce E-mail, Start at the Top – Harvard Business Review, September 2013
And for those Brits of a certain age, the rest of that tune…
Smashing up TVs, using knives unsupervised, preparing food without wearing gloves… how did we make it to adulthood 🙂

The Boston Globe has reported that the city of Boston is moving from Microsoft software to Google Apps online, including transitioning from Exchange to Gmail for email and calendaring, from Microsoft Office to Google Docs, and from Windows file shares to Google Drive to storing documents. In short, all that will be left on the desktop will be the Microsoft Windows OS.
From the article:
It will cost Boston around $800,000 to move over to Gmail, Google Docs for word processing, and Google's cloud service for storing documents. But by dropping some Microsoft products, the city government will save at least $280,000 a year.
"The number one reason that organizations are going to Google is price," said Matt Cain, an analyst at the tech research firm Gartner Inc.
What's more, Cain said, Google's contract terms are much simpler than dealing with Microsoft.
It's believed the transition will take a year. That doesn't sound very long. Dropping Microsoft Office for Google Docs is a bold move and document conversion could prove challenging. I wonder what testing was completed to build the busines case for the switch.
"Anyone with a current Gmail account will not have much trouble transitioning," said David Nero, director of technology for Boston.
Hmmm. A significant percentage of employees may already have personal Gmail accounts which certainly helps in terms of familiarity with Gmail's user interface. But dropping Outlook and Office at work may come as a bit of a shock. And moving from having any on-premise Office suite to browser-based is unlikely to be that straightforward.
According to the article, Microsoft software was costing an estimated $100 per employee per year compared to approximately $50 per user per year for a Google Apps subscription. But that's comparing on-premise software licensing with an online subscription. A similar level of savings would also have been achieved by switching to Office 365. Government pricing plans offered by Google and Microsoft are closely aligned for comparible features.
If the migration is predicted to cost $800,000 and will save $280,000 per year, it will take nearly 3 years for the project to break even. It would be interesting to have an update in 18 months time once the transition has been completed and operational for 6 months. If the decision really was primarily about price, it's a bad one.
We moved from Exchange and Outlook to Gmail three years ago. We still have Office on the desktop. Some aspects of Google Docs knock the socks off of Office Web Apps. And vice versa… The decision of which is best to use should be based on the ways you work, not just the price.
One claim we certainly would agree with is that Google's contract terms for cloud services are a lot more straightforward to deal with. Both as a customer and as a partner. Microsoft needs to get on top of that.
Disclaimer: Joining Dots Ltd has a paid subscription to both Google Apps for Business and Microsoft Office 365 for Enterprise. We continue to test and compare the features in each.
Before replacing an intranet, first check whether the original definition still holds true. Digital workspaces continue to evolve…
"If you want simplicity, if you want to be seen as an innovator, then it's the mainstream customers you should be aiming at" is a fundamental shift in technology design

Home / Offering For Startups / Customer Retention and Remarketing
Customers' retention and remarketing refers to the tactics like aggressive branding and promotion used by the sellers for highest market share and profit. It is the primary key for business success.
It s important to measure customer retention as it helps to set up a benchmark for business growth and success which would not be important without customer retention.
According to Bain and Co., it costs seven times more to attract new customers than it does to retain existing ones. Research also shows that a 5% increase in customer retention can generate up to 125% in profits. Ignoring retention marketing and solely focusing on customer acquisition results in customer churn, which ultimately leads to a loss in revenue and profit margins. As a result, smart businesses are putting a more prominent focus on retention marketing.
It makes sure your customers do not deflect to other competitor platforms.
If a user is retained for a longer time then certainly it will help in increase in demands.
Large audience group will make competition easy leading to easy survival in the market.
More the customer retention more will be the customer demand more will be the goodwill
Retention will help in retaining the expanded market platform and profits and growth.
Increase in the number of audience will make your brand the hero among the crowd.
Customer retaining will make the customers permanent and will also increase the chances of survival.
It is what scales your business in the most cost effective manner.

#RethinkYourDay for Health and Longevity: Chat 12/16 9EST with @PolarGlobal
Posted on 16 December 2013
Even if you exercise regularly, sitting too much and too long at a stretch can have an adverse effect on your health and increase your risk of premature death. Think about your day: how many opportunities have you missed where you could MOVE?
Intensity is a factor, as is recovery. How much sleep are you getting on a nightly basis? Is it enough for your body to properly recover and rebuild?
How can you objectively measure these things, and see when you've made progress?
The Polar loop is one way. This activity tracker is made to be worn 24/7 (it's waterproof and worn on your wrist, not attached to clothing) to measure ALL of your movement throughout the day, and nudge you when it's time to get up and get the blood flowing. It then compares your data against standards set by the World Health Organization to let you know just how much more you need to move to reach a daily goal. Sync that data into the Polar Flow app to see how much time you've spent lying down, sitting, standing, walking and running; connect to a bluetooth heart rate monitor to get accurate feedback from workouts.
The result is a complete picture of your movement that you can view charted daily, weekly, and monthly, so you know where you need to make changes and when you've made progress.
Let's talk about our habits when it comes to physical activity and the small changes we can make to improve our health and longevity! How can we rethink our day?
- Monday, December 16th 9pm EST/ 8pm CST
- Hashtag is #RethinkYourDay
- Make sure to follow @FitFluential and @PolarGlobal so you don't miss a tweet!
- ONE lucky chat participant will win a Polar Loop (US only, please)
New to this? Just search for #RethinkYourDay on Twitter at chat time to view the conversation, and make sure to add #RethinkYourDay to your responses so they are visible on the chat timeline.

Super easy to use, and awesome communication from Required when we needed custom code or assistance, despite being half a world away in real time. Thanks!

This APP is very useful for shops which need to collect additional information in the cart page. Simple to set up and very easy to use. But what makes me feel super impressive is their customer service. First, they responded like immediately after receiving my email, even during the weekend! Second, their response is not just one line or two, but a couple of paragraphs to lay out "why" the problem occurred and "how" it was solved, especially in plain English (no coding language). I feel very comfortable granting them access to help me out. Most importantly, they don't mind to go extra mile when helping customers. In my case, I'd like to add dividing lines to separate the custom fields from the cart items and the checkout button. I looked up everywhere in the Shopify Forum but got no luck. I decided to drop them a line to ask if they could help me out. I was prepared to get rejected or something like that. But I was wrong. In no time they responded and helped me to fix my problem. I was very graceful for their extra work!
I understand they have a new update coming soon. Looking forward to it! The current version is already great and highly recommended. I'm sure their new version will be even better! :)

I just got the app and am very happy! Since it was super cheap I wasn't sure of the ease of use or support I would get but both are great. It was super easy to add the fields I needed. I needed help with the set-up however and the support team immediately responded and helped me do what needed to get done.

Multilateral and Complex-Trajectory Wells
When students ask me about the most important way to maximize recovery, my answer is long directional wells. These wells have revolutionized the oil industry and are drilled under conditions never imaginable years ago. One outstanding example is the Troll field in Norway. The field consists of large, very thin reservoirs, down to 30 ft thick, which are drained by multibranch horizontal wells with horizontal departures approaching 18,000 ft. Not only have many drilling challenges been overcome, but also, from a production perspective, the wells are equipped with intelligent technology such as autonomous gas stop to maintain the pressure drive for the oil. Initially of no commercial interest because of a lack of technology, this field has been a very important driver for the current state of the art for long horizontal wells. Troll has been Norway's largest oil producer in recent years. This has been made possible by the development of long-horizontal-well technology.
The oil industry is currently undergoing a technological transformation that will add value, improve processes, and reduce cost. Future drilling engineers will have knowledge of robotics, automation, and organizational efficiency, which is highly appealing for recruitment. A prerequisite for this step change is the industry's high level of technology.
The selected papers address various aspects of horizontal wells. A field case of how to plan and drill through highly depleted reservoirs is given in paper OTC 28517. Three depleted zones must be penetrated before drilling into the untapped reservoir with a low drilling margin. This is a good example of drilling an extended-reach well using an integrated approach between various disciplines. Another example is given in paper SPE 191436, which shows how a complex U-shaped well path from old wells can be used to obtain good reservoir exposure to drain depleted wells further. Equipment is continuously improved, and paper SPE 189947 presents new ultrasonic technology to evaluate the state of multilateral junctions.

Home Keeping: Re-Ordering The Kitchen
On Saturday, Tim had an emergency repair job to do at a customers' home. He took Kyle with him and that left me home alone for a few hours.
Our friends, Rick and Jane, had left us Friday morning continuing on their summer journey visiting family and friends, and spending a month at Lake Winnipesaukee with their grands. Tim's sister and family headed home Saturday morning, and the girls were traveling home from their youth conference.
With only me here I took a bit of time to reorder my kitchen counters. If you've read here any amount of time you know I love to change things up. I think I'm just wired that way in my DNA. You can see one of the many ways I've changed things around in the kitchen here.
Anyway, I pulled everything off my counters, cleaned them, and then moved some things around. I'd had the plate rack on the big counter (like in the link) but the drink station was over on the counter by the sink. I also had my red Kitchen Aid on the big counter next to the plate rack.
This time I separated the drink station leaving the coffee and tea on the counter by the sink, and moving the tea items to the big counter.
The plate rack and Kitchen Aid when on the red table in the corner.
It works for me functionally, and visually. Nothing seems to cluttered.
What projects are you working on this summer?

Two former Google employees see your beloved local bodega and raise you a glorified vending machine. In typical Silicon Valley fashion, tech bros are capitalising on the charm of your community mom-and-pop convenience store, aiming to put them out of business while co-opting their name.
Screenshot: Bodega.ai
Bodega is a startup that wants to take on the convenience store. It envisions a future where instead of going to your local convenience store for affordable non-perishables, cigarettes and toiletries, you will want to unlock a 1.5m-wide pantry box with an app and hope it is equipped with the non-perishable item you need and can afford. Your credit card is automatically charged thanks to "cameras powered with computer vision," according to Fast Company. The verdict is out if this unmanned box of probably overpriced pita chips will take cash.
Two ex-Googlers want to make bodegas and mom-and-pop corner stores obsolete https://t.co/FLaYGdwmFr pic.twitter.com/pqkWJ40xdW
— Fast Company (@FastCompany) September 13, 2017
"The vision here is much bigger than the box itself," Bodega co-founder Paul McDonald told Fast Company. "Eventually, centralised shopping locations won't be necessary, because there will be 100,000 Bodegas spread out, with one always 100 feet away from you."
In the US, the term "bodega" refers to a small convenience store specialising in Hispanic groceries. But when it comes to the company's potentially offensive name, McDonald says he's "not particularly concerned about it".
"We did surveys in the Latin American community to understand if they felt the name was a misappropriation of that term or had negative connotations, and 97% said 'no'," McDonald told the magazine. "It's a simple name and I think it works."
Let me fix this title for you. "Privileged white male showered with money to displace immigrants and people of color. Again" https://t.co/W9BNiREjjU
— Leslie Miley (@shaft) September 13, 2017
Solving a problem that doesn't exist to threaten the livelihoods of local bodegas is nefarious enough, but the venture also stands to get rid of arguably one of the most important bodega features — the bodega cat — which they have also co-opted for the startup's logo. How dare you.
According to a story on Techcrunch, the startup has already raised $US2.5 million ($3.1 million) in financing.

City of Chicago Veterans and Mental Health –https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdph/supp_info/behavioral-health/veterans-and-mental-health.html
Veterans of military service, particularly those deployed to combat areas, are at increased risk for mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and problems functioning in social and work settings. The long duration and repeated deployments experienced by combat veterans in Iraq and Afghanistan make it more likely that these veterans may experience mental health challenges.
City of Chicago Veterans and Suicide- https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdph/supp_info/behavioral-health/veterans-and-suicide.html
Everyday 22 veterans die by suicide in the U.S. While suicide is usually considered to be an issue in younger adults, it is a significant issue for veterans of all ages. In fact, veterans 50 years of age and older have higher suicide rates than non-veterans of the same age and more than 2/3 of all veteran suicides are in men and women 50 years or older. ; However, rates of suicide are rising in young men veterans, especially those 18-25 years of age and are increasing in women veterans of all ages.

EUGENE, Ore. – A Eugene woman is suing six businesses and one man for $30 million, after a crash in November left her a complete paraplegic.
Court documents show the crash happened on November 2, 2017. It said Evelyn Allen got into a car that Travis Simonis was driving while he was drunk, when he crashed into a home near North Bertelsen and Roosevelt Road. It said that crash left her a complete paraplegic.
According to court documents, Simonis' blood alcohol content was at .27, more than three times the legal limit. He pleaded guilty to assault and DUII in February.
Court papers said before the crash, Simonis was drinking at Shooters, Brew and Cue, Don Juan, the Keg, O'Donnell's Irish Pub and the Overtime Tavern. Each were named in the lawsuit and are accused of serving Simonis alcohol, even though he was "visibly intoxicated."
The lawsuit said he was overserved, and it was a factor in the crash that led to Allen's injuries.
KEZI called all the businesses named in the lawsuit. None of them wanted to comment, except Rudy Mejia, from Don Juan. He said they have no idea who the woman is and doesn't recall seeing her. He also said it sounds like she repeatedly put her life in danger by getting into the car with someone who was intoxicated from establishment to establishment. Mejia said none of their employees recognized her or the man she was with.
KEZI reached out to Allen's attorney, but he did not respond. KEZI also reached out to Simonis, but said he had no comment.

Kris Jenner Got Kanye on Her Show but Scott Disick Might Be Her Knight in Shining Fur Coat
It was reported yesterday that Kris Jenner managed go convince daughter Kim Kardashian's baby daddy Kanye West to appear on her talk show Kris, but now there's a new rumor about which family member could be called in to save the poorly rated talk show, and no, it's not Kourtney, Kim, nor Khloe. Dolls, get out your finest pressed ascots and your gilded walking sticks, because Naughty But Nice Rob claims that the one and only Lord Scott Disick will co-host Kris's season finale.
His smarmy, partying ways were once the bane of the Kardashian's existence and now he could be their saving grace. A source told Rob:
Kris wanted Kanye at first because he is the biggest name, but Kanye really does not have the personality that Scott does. Scott is not a big star like Kanye but he is soooooo charming and funny everyone agreed that he would make a much better last co-host than Kanye.
Now this, this is something we can get behind. We've been saying for a while now that Scott Disick deserves some serious love, and it's about goddamn time he takes his seat on the throne next to Kris Jenner, because if anyone can save the show, it's our Scotty. Thankfully, we're not the only ones who agree. A TV expert also told Rob:
The hope is that Scott will be so much fun that he will leave audiences wanting more. Who knows, if the show returns, it could be the Kris and Scott Show.
It's hard to imagine that Kris would be willing to share the spotlight, but the only thing she loves more than the limelight is money, and if Scott can boost ratings and therefore revenue, it'll be the Kris and Scott Show faster than you can say:

If you're looking for a Hollywood smile, dental veneers are the perfect solution. A porcelain or composite overlay is fitted to your teeth to change their shape, fill gaps, or change their shade. The goal is to build a beautiful smile that boosts your confidence for every part of your life. Ask our dentist today about our veneers.
Dental veneers are made of either super-thin porcelain or resin composite. Each kind has advantages and disadvantages. Porcelain veneers are more durable and longer-lasting, but are brittle if mistreated. The also take several visits to the dentist to fit the veneers, as they must be made in a lab by a dental technician. Resin veneers can be placed in a single visit, but don't last nearly as long, though they are considerably less expensive than porcelain.
If veneers were simply cemented on with no preparation, the extra thickness could irritate the gums and mouth ad cause complications. To avoid that, a small portion of the enamel is removed to make space, and the veneer is bonded in place. Since porcelain veneers are made in a lab, it takes several visits for the service to be completed. However, the resulting veneer is customized to your teeth and the aesthetic look you desire.
Maintaining your veneers is simple. Regular dental maintenance is all they need, so just treat them like your original teeth. Brushing twice a day, flossing once, and avoiding chewing on hard foods such as ice. If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth when your sleep, our dentist may suggest a bite guard to protect your new veneers.
If you'd like to learn more about getting dental veneers in Charlotte, North Carolina, then contact us today!

That is a good looking revolver. Enjoy!
My regret is that I waited too long to get on the wagon. There was always too many things that took prority over buying a Rossi although I did enjoy following the Rossi fans here in the forum.
That said, when I finally got one thanks to a special individual, it didn't take long to fall in love with it.
First, it's freaking gorgeous! Second, shoots like a dream and accurate as all get out! Comfortable in hand, and has a single action trigger pull that would rival a gun snobs old Smith any day of the week.
Anyway, they're gone now, probably thanks to Taurus. I'm sure Taurus didn't want the Rossi's on the shelf next to their "cheapened" finished guns, and for less money to boot. Hopefully they will come back at some point.
Now I'm toiling with the idea of a new Taurus, perhaps the 856, another 85, the 82, the 65 or maybe even a poly 38..... I don't know for sure, I'm just pondering right now.
I will though keep my eyes open for used Rossi's or even better, new Rossi's (that someone hoarded) at gun shows etc....
End of rant I guess, carry on my dear friends!
My incredible 46103
A Leejack original: Socialism is the layover on the flight from freedom to communism. Democratic socialism (think Bernie & Ocasio-Cortez) is disguising that pig with lipstick to sell the tickets. I hope all those who subscribe to this democratic socialism reap the bennies that they sowed, just leave me and mine alone!.......
Go Spurs Go!
That is a good looking revolver. Enjoy!
I can't say enough good things about my recent buy of a 98 Plinker. The finish and blue job is as good as any gun at any price. The rear sight did not adjust when I got it but a little tinkering and LocTite took care of that. CCI MiniMags took care of the sticky cylinder. I put 8 in the 10 ring at 15 yards last weekend.
It is becoming one of my favorites.
Kim Rhode: "The fact that the government would even consider repealing or taking away the Second Amendment is basically the very reason for which it was written. So for me, that is an issue in itself." US Olympic Trap Shooter
And that, sir, is a most pleasing revolver. I like the finish and it looks to fit in the hand well.
I'd wonder what it would look like with different grips -- perhaps some sort of wood.
I have an old M68 I bought for my step dad in 81 and inherited back. I don't shoot it much, but it's quite accurate, a 3" gun, too. The 68s were five shooters, copy of a Smith M36. Mine has a wonderful deep blue finish.
Now, in the late 80s-early 90s, Rossi's finish went south. Lots of machining marks and ill fitted stocks and such. I had two of 'em. They both had firing pins break. I sent them both back to Interarms and the 88 I had (a stainless 68 ) worked well, but the 971 busted the firing pin on the first cylinder. I then got a trusted gunsmith to fit a Smith K frame firing pin on it and it worked well. I never trusted 'em after that for carry. Don't need a firing pin breaking in a fire fight. Traded off the 971 and sold the 88. I still have the old 68 and a .22 caliber M511 Sportsman which is a good shooter and with my Heritage, excepting the NAA minis, are my only rimfire revolvers. The Rossi 511 is a MUCH better shooter than the Heritage.

Toronto-based Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: LIFT) held the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards (CCA) event this weekend, which was hosted by radio / TV personality Rick Campanelli and celebrated excellence in the marijuana industry.
This was the first edition of the awards to take place after the legalization of adult recreational marijuana thanks to the passage of the Cannabis Act.
More than 17,000 votes were cast by members of the public between September and October — a 50% increase over the previous year— with a committee of Lift & Co. judges determining the final winners in each category.
Chief Executive Officer Matei Olaru had this to say about the festivities:
The Deal Of The Year award unsurprisingly went to Constellation's landmark $5 billion dollar investment of Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED; NYSE: CGC). Co-CEO Bruce Linton of Canopy Growth was also bestowed the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Broken Coast Cannabis managed to win the Top Reviewed Product of 2018 with their Ruxton 3 Sour OG product, which features a sour diesel terpene profile. The Cannabis Product Of The Year award was given to Elixir CBD Peppermint from Hydropothecary, a brand owned by HEXO Corp. (TSE: HEXO).
CannTrust (TSC: TRST) dominated the awards overall, taking home the Licensed Producer Of The Year title, as well as snagging awards for Top Sativa Flower (OG Kush), Top Hybrid Flower (Blueberry Kush), and both the Top High CBD Oil and Top Balanced Oil categories for their CBD drop products.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Aceto commented on the slew of awards:
"I am so proud to be part of this team. CannTrust is full of brilliant, caring people with great skill, who work collaboratively and care immensely about our patients and consumers but also our wonderful cannabis plants. What is so incredible about these awards is that they were chosen by consumers."
Aceto went on to say, "We thank our dedicated team; we thank our customers; we thank the voters; and we thank Lift & Co. for hosting these impressive awards that celebrate excellence in the Canadian cannabis industry."
The full list of winners in each of the 18 categories can be found here. Additionally, five cannabis strains from across the winners are being combined into a CCA multipack that will be distributed in the coming months, with full details to arrive shortly.

Script Ideas and Other Ephemera
by syaffolee
Back in late January, I came up with a possible idea to use for Script Frenzy 2010 and posted it on Twitter:
An inkling of an idea for this year's Script Frenzy has crept into my brain. It involves a road trip across a semi-terraformed Mars starring an astronaut with a mid-life crisis, a re-purposed lunar buggy, hot Martian chicks, and a multi-kazillionaire tycoon who wants to reactivate Olympus Mons to create the most awesome amusement park ever.
The only other planning I've done since then is to stare at topographical maps of Mars* and plot the direction of the road trip.
I really want to finish a script this year. But I have had this block the previous years–mostly because I've failed to do proper outlines like I've done for Nanowrimo and having an indifferent attitude towards the script format which for some reason seems like a reject poetry form to me.
So my first order of business–to conquer this goal–is to write an outline. Hopefully, I will restrain myself from making a stick figure storyboard.
*I also tell myself that this also doubles as doing research for possible future careers. Let me know if you notice available post-doc positions in labs studying microbes in outer space.

The Tomorrow Children
It's been a while since we last heard from Q Games about its title The Tomorrow Children. The game has players pool their efforts to rebuild a city in an alternate version of '60s-era Russia following a weird disaster. A new trailer shows off the PS4 game and also features studio founder Dylan Cuthbert sharing his love for Japan.
Cooperation is critical in the game, and players are grouped together to rebuild a new city. Q Games wants players to feel as though they're part of a community, and that their actions are contributing to larger goals. Take a look at the clip below to learn more.
The Tomorrow Children is set for a Sept. 6 release. For more on the game, take a look at our hands-on impressions back from when it was first announced. We also spoke with Cuthbert a while ago on the Game Informer Show, where he talked about The Tomorrow Children and his experiences working with Nintendo back in the '90s – including on the Star Fox series.

Eye Care Tips & Best Food for Eyes – Being a nerd isn't cool especially when you are wearing oversized eyeglasses plus they don't suit you much either! Unhealthy food habits associated with poor eyesight include eating junk food, drinking commercial milk and carbonated drinks, and certain medications (Zuraw & Lewanski, 2010). Sugar is the major culprit behind many diseases such as calcium deficiency, diabetes, obesity, cardiac problems, kidney and liver disorders, and your main concern for the time being "Poor Eyesight" (Zuraw & Lewanski, 2010).
If you want to get rid of your glasses, you must take a healthy diet and exercise on daily basis. Know the best exercises for improved vision by clicking on the link. Next, explore the list of best 5 food items for eyes health below.
Five Best Food Items for Eye Care
Doctors say that an eye is a window to the body as they can take a sneak peek on your health by looking at the back of the eye. Our diet plays a major role in determining good health. A high-quality nutritional diet for healthy eyesight includes green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits, fish, and whole grains (Adams 146). Let's find out the best food items to maintain good eyesight below.
- Consume Food Rich in Vitamin C (Lemons, Mangoes….)
Be careful with the title, it says "Food rich in Vitamin C" and not supplements or processed foods. Best sources of vitamin C include peppers, mangoes, oranges, strawberries, and lemons. Various medical studies suggest that vitamin C has proved out to be quite effective against cataracts (Adams 14).
- Prevent Cataract & Glaucoma with Intake of Vitamin E (Spinach, Kiwis…)
Glaucoma is more prevalent in people of age group above 60. It is a disease which impairs the eye's optic nerve and leads to vision loss. Almonds have always been recommended for sharp memory but, it is also rich in vitamin E. Other rich sources of vitamin-E are spinach, kiwis, and seafood (Adams 15).
- Vitamin B12 Improves Eye Function (Eggs, Cereals…..)
Optimum sources of vitamin B12 include dairy products, eggs, and cereals. Apart from improving eyesight, it contributes to vital functions in your body such as boosting up the energy level and protecting the nervous system.
- Good Eye Health with Food Rich in Vitamin A (Carrot)
Vitamin A is primarily responsible for imparting the glow to your skin. It is also considered effective in curing eye diseases such as night-blindness, eye inflammation, and dry eyes. When it comes to vitamin A, we are reminded of Bugs Bunny and his favorite food "carrot", which is possibly the best source of retinol.
- Reward Yourself with Antioxidants (Green Tea)
You may purchase branded green tea from our online beauty and wellness website. Drinking green tea is associated with countless benefits ranging from weight management to enhanced digestion. Antioxidants found in green tea are beneficial for reducing the risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration.

The president of the United States and North Korea's leader will have a one-on-one meeting on Wednesday evening followed by dinner at the start of the second summit focused on North Korea's denuclearization and the possibility of moving towards the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Eight months after their historic first summit in Singapore, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will meet each other again at 6.30 pm in the luxurious French colonial-style Sofitel Legend Metropole of Hanoi.
Trump and Kim will meet alone for a 20-minute conversation, according to the White House, and will be joined by four of their advisers for a dinner lasting one hour 35 minutes, which the White House has described more as a "social" than working dinner.
Accompanying Trump to the dinner will be Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney while it is believed that Kim will be accompanied by his sister and adviser, Kim Yo-jong, and former military intelligence chief, Kim Yong-chol.
The summit will continue on Thursday and although the agenda is still unknown, Trump and Kim are expected to try to advance towards a shared definition of what denuclearization means, an ambitious task given that Pyongyang believes that the process should also include South Korea.
According to media reports, the summit could end with the signing of a legally non-binding peace declaration to symbolically end the state of war which still technically prevails on the peninsula since the end of the Korean War of 1950-1953.
North Korea and the US are also expected to set up liaison offices in their respective capitals, the first step towards establishing diplomatic ties between the traditional foes.
Many analysts also consider it likely that North Korea will pledge to disable its Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center, the place where the regime has made fuel for the six nuclear tests it has conducted to date, in exchange for incentives from the US.
Before the start of the summit, Trump was due to take part in a series of meetings and the signing of a trade agreement with the Vietnamese authorities while Kim's agenda was unknown except that he has postponed until Friday the start of his state visit to Vietnam.
