Commercial Video Production
What do you get when you put fire, sparks, confetti,large props, actors, animals, and a high tech studio all together? Just another day in the office for Skillman Video Group. Our Boston video production corporation had the pleasure of working with TimePayment over the course of a large 2 day video shoot. However unlike our brand and interview based video styles, this was a 5 part commercial series. For such a large product we were able to set-up our video production equipment and crew at the Red Sky Studios in Allston, MA. Not only was this studio large with movable lighting equipment and sound proof walls, but it has recently been the host to big movie scenes like "Ted 2" and "Ghostbusters".

Besides geeking out over all of the famous celebrities that have walked through the halls, some of over SVG employees were able to show off their acting skills. Although the acting only entailed holding a limbo bar and dancing while confetti fell to the ground, the logistics of holding the limbo bar at the same height for the professional actor proved to be the most difficult task. We only had one take to get the shot because of the confetti falling from the ceiling took 15 minutes to pick up and set up again. Being on a tight schedule didn't give us much room for error. Fortunately, the shot came out perfect and our CEO & Producer Christina Skillman was pleased to see some of her own on camera.

Our professional videographer for the day was Jake, who has the top video and lighting equipment in the Boston area. A lot of the shots were organized for timeliness so we wouldn't have to change props much or the actors outfits. When doing a marketing shoot this large, we often send the raw footage to our professional editing team to add in sound and visual effects. However, it's always important as a corporate video production company in Boston to provide as many shots as possible for the editors; thus having more than one take of a line and shooting close ups and wide shots provides the most footage options for the editing team to go through.

With so many moving parts on set it can feel like a circus. We had about 10-15 people on set throughout the day, but every member of the crew including the actors had one goal in mind: Get the job done. The only actor that didn't cooperate were the two cats we hired for the "Lion" scene. Unfortunately, the scene had to be cut, which would cause panic to some Boston video production crew, but for SVG there is always a Plan C (Plan 1 was cat #1 and plan 2 was cat #2). Plan C entailed cutting the cat scene and creating an imaginary cat, or in the video production world this is also known as "subliminal."
Developing a Video Marketing Strategy
As one of many corporate video production companies in Boston, it is always important to keep in mind that it may require 20 different takes before getting the perfect one. One scene that was challenging for our actors was for the "Vendor Commercial." This particular scene had a lot of important keywords and phrases that needed to be said perfectly. Although the whole video is marketing the clients company, there are particular moments in the video where the message and important information needs to be clear. Yes, there are scenes where lines don't have to be said word for word, but in this case every word counted. The actors struggled a couple of times getting the scene recited perfectly, and the added pressure of having 12 people watching you and correcting your lines can be that much more stressful. Nonetheless, our professional actors did an amazing job getting the lines out and making it flow naturally

As the end of and Boston video production day comes to a close, it is necessary that the crew members keep the energy up! This will directly affect everyone on set, including the videographer, producer, actors, and the client. Even after a long day of shooting rolling full steam ahead until the final scene is extremely important for the audience will pick up on that energy when watching the video; especially if the actors appear tired and the quality of the video begins to decline. Not to mention, the client is asking for your professional video production expertise to create the best marketing video for their company. As a Boston video production services company you can't just provide a layout of the day, assure the client that everything will turn out great, and promise the best commercial videos and then completely drop the ball because you were too tired to finish off the day on a strong note. At SVG our crew is amazing at keeping the day going and energy levels high. Even during the final scenes we were laughing and smiling. A key to this energy is hydration! Always have water on set for everyone!
Two full days of shooting commercial videos can be a lot for some corporate video production companies, but at SVG it is what we live for. We couldn't have been more happy with the actors and crewmembers. Everyone worked together great and thank to Red Sky Studios we had the perfect location to film!

Hen parties, diets, guest lists, menus, favours etc – all have been written about recently and I now find myself a teensy bit bored of the whole wedding shenanigans…
So, as Christmas is on its way, I decided to add in a recipe for Peanut Butter fudge. The fudge is super easy to make, but do cut it up into small pieces as it's incredibly sweet and may make all of your fillings fall out. To appease your conscience, use Fairtrade sugar and organic ingredients…
Peanut Butter Fudge (gluten-free!)
- 125g unsalted butter
- 500g golden caster sugar
- 125ml whole milk
- 250g peanut butter (use unsweetened)
- 300g icing sugar
Grease and line a baking tin with grease-proof paper and set aside. Melt the butter slowly in a thick-bottomed pan over a gentle heat, add the milk and sugar and continue to heat, stirring gently until all of the sugar has dissolved. (The mixture shouldn't feel grainy at all.)
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and allow it to boil for three minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and mix together well. Sift the icing sugar into a mixing bowl and pour over the sugar and peanut butter mix. Beat together until thoroughly combined and pour into the prepared tin. Chill in the fridge until cold and then cut into very small cubes.
(For extra decadence, freeze the cubes for an hour and then dip in melted dark chocolate – use cocktail sticks to make life easier – and leave to set.)

Design, food and travel inspiration
Add a bit or a lot of the spirit of Spring to your lifeand everything will feel new and fresh all over again.
Big and bold patterns can add a trendy touch to a contemporary girl's bedroom - a novel twist on a study in pink.
Sprinkle some turmeric and chia seeds on top of a few ground cherries and mango chunks for an irresistible finish to a deliciously healthy breakfast.
Play on various shades of pink by mixing and matching office accessories and textures, like this combination of fuchsia and herringbone patterned curtains.
Turn an ordinary hallway into an art gallery by adding handcrafted garlands and colorful flags, and curating toys and boxes into a whimsical setting.
Bold colors are the way to go for a playful yet functional space. Use sectional furniture pieces to divide a room into study areas and more active spaces, to provide your little ones with all the latitude they need.
This recipe puts the cherries on top - a perfect blend of tart and sweet with a touch of hibiscus to round out the flavors. Add some fresh blackberries and a few pumpkin seeds for a stellar finishing touch.
There is a turning point throughout the year where the weather seems to go from dark to light, when interest in the world outside seems to revive, and hopes renew. We've found that a comfortable chair is always a good place to contemplate the days ahead.
Brighten up any decor with a hint of color and freshly cut flowers. The great thing about tulips is that they never seem to mind the vessel they're in. More proof that simple is always beautiful.
Cherries, blueberries, dates, bananas and dragon fruit… everything about this tangy breakfast recipe is pure bliss to a hungry morning tummy.
Creating a chic and cozy environment can be uplifting. Mix neutral materials like wood with open color schemes to turn your living space into an oasis of calm.
Turn every arrival and departure into a stress free endeavor by using a neutral color palette and keeping the space clutter free.
This pineapple, banana, and kale smoothie bowl is our favorite way to start our mornings with fresh hearty antioxidants. A fair warning, it has been known to cause a bit of green envy!
Few things are more satisfying than the thick nutty goodness of almond butter and ripe bananas topped with crunchy rolled oats and drizzled in sumptuous golden honey.
We'll be quite honest with you, we've been drooling over this combination of ripe bananas, unctuous Greek yogurt and savory nut butter for the past few months now...so much that we tend to sneak it into our menus as an afternoon snack!
There is no reason for the functional areas of a home not to feel leisurely. Use art and an assortment of shapes to give multipurpose spaces a more personal feel.
There is something about pink flowers that we always find beautiful, as if they were able to magnify self-love and vitality.
Every morning I slip on these bracelets and let my worries melt away, consciously choosing positive outcomes for my day. After all, April showers bring May flowers.
Rich, buttery and mildly sweet, this tasty pastry makes for a perfect mid-morning breakfast treat.
Elegant and sunny, we love a pale yellow hue for busy kitchen spaces, because it provides just enough depth to work up an appetite while not stealing the show from what's on the evening's menu.
Light and airy, this melt-in-your-mouth breakfast cake is the perfect companion to a freshly brewed cup of café au lait.

U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Attempt To Redirect AZ Car Rental Tax
On its first day back in session, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Arizona high court ruling protecting a multimillion-dollar tax source used to fund sports and tourism.
At issue was whether Pima and Maricopa counties can use revenue from a car rental tax to fund the state Sports and Tourism Authority or whether that money should be constitutionally protected and held exclusively for statewide road projects.
The most recent audit for Maricopa County shows the 3.5% tax contributing nearly $52 million to the authority's annual budget, with nearly $14 million paying off the bonds to build the Arizona Cardinals stadium.
However, the Arizona Constitution requires that taxes collected for car registration or operation go strictly to the public roads fund.
By refusing to hear the case, the Supreme Court backed Arizona's high court decision that nothing is wrong with using the car rental tax, which is paid largely by tourists, to pay for tourism programs.

A major theme of the last 12 months' oil and gas press has been that of Saudi Arabia's titanic struggle to hold its market share against the onslaught of the huge U.S. supply increases from shale gas. This has projected the U.S. to top dog of global oil production, a status unthinkable even five years ago, albeit probably for the short term.
Saudi Arabia's challenges were then augmented by the West's improving relations with Iran, its regional challenger, and now its expected return to the market in 2016. This has been interwoven with a royal succession and a new dose of terrorism attacks at a time when the Government is still wary of recurring echoes of the Arab Spring of 2011 and of the major cyberattack on Saudi Aramco in 2012.
A year is a long time in the oil and gas industry. August 2014 saw Saudi Aramco announce that it was to spend US$40 billion a year for the next 10 years in capital programmes. The year ended with the Saudis projecting a US$40 billion budget deficit in 2015 and then this month came the announcement of US$27 billion of bond issues by the end of the year to bolster the finances, and that after a string of project cancellations and postponements.
However, the Saudi Arabian oil and gas industry remains in the eye of the storm and still offers a growth opportunity for companies seeking to rebalance their activities from higher production cost regions. In a month in which Baker Hughes has declared that the global rig count for July 2015 stood at 2,167 from the 3,608 figure for July 2014, Saudi Aramco has challenged its supply chain to increase the rig count in the country by 30% from the current 120 rigs in operation. This demonstrates Saudi Aramco's determination to at least hold its 12 million barrels per day production capacity for many years to come, and that it has no intention to lose market share to U.S. shale or Iranian crude.
The long-term view also looks positive with eight new discoveries in 2014 – the largest in the Kingdom's history – comprising the Abu Ali, Amjad, Badi and Faris gas fields, the Sadawi and Naqa oil fields, and the Qadqad oil and gas field, bringing the total discovered fields in country to 129. It remains to be seen what these finds will mean in augmenting the existing oil reserves of 261 billion barrels and 295 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves. For deepwater specialists the Red Sea remains the ultimate prize but the low oil price has already seen a drawing in of short-term ambitions for the offshore West.
There can be no such loss of momentum in resolving the Kingdom's gas supply challenges but the Wasit, Midyan and Fadhili gas plant projects will add a much welcome 5 billion standard cubic feet per day supply of gas. The Saudis have also announced their ambitions to roll out an unconventional gas programme focused on the greater Ghawar area.
Major development programmes for oilfield will be focused on the Shaybah field in the South where production will be increased by 250,000 bpd and Dammam where the field which kicked off the country's oil bonaza in 1938, mothballed in the 1980s, will be redeveloped.
The Kingdom is also continuing to build on its recently won status as downstream superpower with major refinery and petrochemical projects at Jubai, Yanbu and Petro-Rabigh to be joined with ambitious plans at Jizan in the southwest. Aramco's downstream projects have spawned long term joint venture partnerships with Total, Sinopec and Dow.
The Saudis have also announced their ambitions to diversify their generating mix and there are plans to build 16 nuclear power plants over the next 20 years at a cost of US$80 billion with the first due to be online in 2022, producing 17 GWe of power, by 2040, along with 40GWe of solar power. This will result in an increasing role for Saudi Electricity Company as a target client for many supply chain companies.
The Kingdom remains the "King of Technology" in regional terms with a strong commitment to its own research and development activities, including its SmartWater low saline EOR technology. This is demonstrated by its international research and technology centres and offices in Houston, Detroit, Boston, Delft and Aberdeen. This has now established Aramco as the Middle East "portal" for advanced technology and knowledge companies seeking to penetrate the region.
The rapidly growing and young population in KSA ensures that political stability is a primary consideration and this is reflected in one of the toughest in-country value frameworks in the region. Local investment, technology transfer and indigenous employment are all highly scrutinised in licensing applications via the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA). However, the timescales needed to obtain SAGIA approvals have been subject to a positive sea change of late with fast-tracked decisions coming through in less than one week for relevant applications.
Hugh Fraser commented: "A major client recently challenged to get its SAGIA approval within one month of submission. To their great surprise (and ours!) we were able to phone back with positive news five days later!
"In my view, Saudi Arabia continues to offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for our clients, especially over the next 12 months, in this low oil price environment. We have worked hard over the last six months to ramp our Saudi capabilities including our alliance arrangements with Al Shamlany Law Firm in Riyadh and the appointment of Tony Khoury to our Middle East team, a U.S. lawyer with over three years' experience of working inside the Kingdom, including 12 months at SAGIA. We feel this offers invaluable experience and expertise for our clients."

Surgical Errors: A Product of Negligence
Failure to provide the quality of care a patient rightly deserves is the major contributing in of the many types of malpractice cases in the field of medicine. This failure, which is too common in so many hospitals and clinics in the U.S., is often the cause of prolonged or new illness, permanent disability, other life-threatening conditions, or death. Medical errors, however, can be prevented since these are merely due to negligence or carelessness committed by no other than medical professionals. According to the Office of Inspector General for Health and Human Services, about 180,000 Medicare patients died in 2010 due to negligent or careless medical acts (an article printed in the Journal of Patient Safety, however, says that the number of deaths during the same year was between 210,000 and 440,000).
Surgical error is one example of medical mistake that can cause serious harm. Surgery, being a risky procedure, is resorted to by doctors only as a last resort – after all other attempts in treating an illness fail. A patient, who has been advised (by his/her doctor) to undergo surgery, puts a great deal of trust in his/her doctor's ability, trusting that he/she has correctly diagnosed his/her illness and that surgery is a necessary part of treatment. In many occasions, however, instead of improving patients' conditions, surgical procedures have only become harmful. An alarming thing, though, is the fact that a number of these surgical errors were committed by either by highly-respected medical professionals or doctors in some of the best hospitals in the country.
A few types of surgical errors listed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality include: wrong dosage of anesthesia; accidental puncture or laceration; wrong-person surgery; wrong-site surgery; incorrect surgical procedure; removal of wrong organ; a foreign body or surgical instrument left inside the body of a patient; improper suturing; hematoma or post-operative hemorrhage; respiratory failure, or pulmonary embolism; wound dehiscence (the rupturing of a wound along a surgical suture, which is a surgical complication that may be due to age, diabetes, obesity, poor knotting, or post-surgery trauma due to the wound); and, wrongful death resulting from complications from negligent surgery.
Medical malpractice cases can be brought against:
- Surgeons, who make mistakes in operating rooms;
- Emergency room doctors and nurses, who commit errors in diagnosis or treatment;
- Obstetricians and OB nurses, whose negligence results in avoidable birth injury;
- Generalists, who fail to notice symptoms of serious illness;
- Specialists, whose negligence results in failure to diagnose cancer, delay the appropriate diagnosis or other serious medical conditions; and,
- Nurses, who make medication mistakes or other errors during in-patient care.
These accidents can be devastating and cause long-term injuries with debilitating side effects."
It may be best for people who feel that their health only worsened after undergoing surgery to have their condition checked and, if something not right is made obvious, to seek legal assistance from an experienced personal injury lawyer for whatever legal action they may have a right to pursue.Read More

Popular Economics Weekly
The deficit this year is expected to be $514 billion— just 3 percent the size of the economy and significantly less than the $1.4 trillion deficit Congress ran up when it pumped stimulus into the economy in 2009.
"Although the deficit in the Congressional Budget Office's baseline projections continues to decline as a percentage of GDP in 2015, to 2.6 percent, it then starts to increase again in 2016, reaching 4.0 percent of GDP in 2024," said the CBO. "That figure for the end of the 10-year projection period is roughly 1 percentage point above the average deficit over the past 40 years relative to the size of the economy."
Why do we have such a large federal budget deficit today, in spite of the current reductions of CBO projections? It now totals $17 trillion counting the US Treasury's own debt to itself—when we had 4 consecutive annual surpluses in the Clinton years of 1997 to 2001, and an overall budget deficit reduced to $3.2 trillion in privately-held debt.
The answer in a nutshell is unrestrained human greed, something that even Alan Greenspan recognized, though he wouldn't admit it was the result of his own laissez faire market ideology of lower taxes and less market regulation.
"It is not that humans have become any more greedy than in generations past," he famously lamented in 2002 testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. "It is that the avenues to express greed had grown so enormously."
That quote was not only fatuous—humans have always become more or less greedy depending on those so-called opportunities for greed—but it was his decision to back GW Bush's deficit spending that erased the Clinton budget surpluses.
There were of course 2 recessions—in 1991 and 1997, plus the wars on terror, plus TARP and the Bush era tax cuts. But it was then Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony that enabled the Bush/Cheney record deficits of those and subsequent years such as on January 26, 2001 Senate testimony:
"Continuing to run surpluses beyond the point at which we reach zero or near-zero federal debt brings to center stage the critical longer term fiscal policy issue of whether the federal government should accumulate large quantities of private — more technically, nonfederal – assets," he said at the time. "At zero debt, the continuing unified budget surpluses currently projected imply a major accumulation of private assets by the federal government. … This development should factor materially into the policies you and the administration choose to pursue."
In fact, it was the unregulated greed of Wall Streeters that Greenspan had in fact encouraged in opposing deregulation of derivatives—used by regulated banks, as well as unregulated hedge funds—that led to the Great Recession that bankrupted millions.
The Clinton surpluses had almost balanced long-term federal debt, and first Bush Treasury Secretary John O'Neill lost the debate on what to do with that surplus. He had wanted the surplus to strengthen social security, Medicare, and other government spending programs. O'Neill was fired for his opposition to the Bush tax cuts.
In other words, Greenspan gave Bush the cover he needed after 9/11 to use that surplus to finance tax cuts on capital in particular—including abolishing the inheritance tax, lowering capital gains and dividend taxes almost 50 percent—that mainly benefited Wall Street and its investors, rather than Main Street.
"Why did corporate governance checks and balances that served us reasonably well in the past break down?" he asked. "At root was the rapid enlargement of stock market capitalizations in the latter part of the 1990s that arguably engendered an outsized increase in opportunities for avarice. An infectious greed seemed to grip much of our business community."
We have you to thank, Dr. Greenspan, for those "opportunities for avarice" that resulted from of your unbridled enthusiasm for such policies at that time. It also brought on the Great Recession and record deficit we have today.

Recently, it has been refurbished and reopened as a market-style eating establishment by the people involved in the hugely successful Altrincham Market and Market Hall.

Fed Funds Rate

The Fed Funds Rate was reduced to 0.00% to 0.25%
Effective March 16, 2020

Federal Funds Rate Definition
What is the Fed Funds Rate?
Commonly known as the Fed Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate is a short-term rate objective or "Target Rate" of the Federal Reserve Board. Also known as the Intended Federal Funds Rate, it can be expressed as a specific rate or as a range of rates. The "Actual Rate" or real rate is known as the Effective Federal Funds Rate and is the interest rate at which depository institutions actually lend balances at the Federal Reserve to other depository institutions overnight. The Actual Rate changes daily but is usually close to the Target Rate or within the range desired by the Federal Reserve. Adjustments to the Federal Funds Target Rate are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) usually at regularly scheduled meetings; but can also be adjusted at any time with an emergency meeting. The Fed Funds Rate reported in the chart is based upon the Fed Funds Rate on the first day of each respective month.
In 2020, the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) plans to hold its meetings on January 28-29, March 17-18, April 28-29, June 9-10, July 28-29, September 15-16, November 4-5, and December 15-16.

Are you good at following directions? Good. Then it shouldn't be difficult for you to install CommentLuv on your Blogger or Typepad blog. If you use WordPress, it's even easier, since there's a Plug In just for you.
The directions may seem complicated, but as I said, it's actually easy if you follow the directions here (Blogger) or here (TypePad). There's even a video tutorial. As with any tinkering you do with your template, make sure to save a backup.
Should you try it? Readers who have their own blogs love CommentLuv, as it allows them to automatically link back to their own sites. Who doesn't love free (and condoned!) publicity. Also, CommentLuv allows readers to reply to an individual comment in threads.
As a blogger, you'll like CommentLuv because
- It allows you to moderate or delete comments directly below each one.
- Your pre-CommentLuv comments will be saved and visible as well.
- It's a nice looking interface.
- There's even a commenter "karma" system you can enable or disable.
- Got trolls? You can block their comments by IP.
I'll post any other bugs I see here so you can see them. If I don't like it, I'm promised that I'll be able to remove CommentLuv and keep all pre-CL and post-CL comments. Says the JS-Kit FAQ page: "If you want to roll back to the built-in commenting mechanism, simply deactivate the JS-Kit plugin. Thanks to comment synchronization, all the comments your visitors left using JS-Kit will remain (but all the neat features introduced by JS-Kit will be lost)."
Once you get CommentLuv working, you may want to add some CSS and customize its look a bit like I did. Here's a how-to.
So far, so good. If you're reading this, please say hi in the comments to help me test CommentLuv. Let me know what you think of the interface as a reader.
If you try CommentLuv, leave a comment below and let us know how you like it! Your comment will Luv you back!

Happy Monday! We survived a very hot and then very rainy weekend! There was some Harry Potter movie watching, a birthday party and a cub scout camp out over the past couple of days. This past week was also filled with good food! Here's a look at what was on our menu this past week.
Saturday: We were up in Rhode Island for the Memorial Day Weekend. My parents grilled steak and ribs which we had with salad and roasted potatoes.
Sunday: We got home from Rhode Island and were not in the mood to cook dinner or go out. So we ordered sushi from a local place. They had a new platter special that we took advantage of and everyone was happy!
Monday: My husband grilled some sausage and we had sausage and pepper sandwiches with cole slaw and corn on the cob. Simple but tasty.
Tuesday: I made Classic Mu Shu Pork from Every Day with Rachael Ray. This was a tasty version of the Chinese take out version that I like. Instead of napa cabbage, which my grocery store didn't have, I used bagged cole slaw mix. I sauteed some zucchini in garlic and olive oil and also made some rice.
Wednesday: I made Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach Goat Cheese Skillet Chicken from Closet Cooking. The roasted red peppers, spinach and goat cheese made a tasty flavor combination for the chicken. This dish was made in about a half hour. To accompany it, I made Spaghetti Aglio E Olio (spaghetti with garlic and olive oil).
Thursday: I made Mexicali Hashbrown Taco Casserole from The Midnight Baker. I precooked the meat mixture and defrosted the hash browns in the afternoon. We had a 5 PM piano lesson, so by the time we got home and cooked the casserole in the oven for 35 minutes, we weren't eating until 6:45. So, not a quick meal, but this was super tasty. Everyone had seconds and there were no leftovers!
Friday: We had our usual homemade pizza.

How to Keep Your Office Cold & Flu-free This Season
Cold and flu season has officially begun, and for many, bugs are passed around at the workplace. Interestingly, thinking of colds and flus as having their own "season" that is out of our control is a bit of a myth, as there are many steps we can take to keep ourselves from getting sick in the fall and winter. A healthy diet, proper supplementation and a few simple, preventative measures can go a long way in staying healthy and avoiding those workplace viruses.
Healthy Foods
Optimal immune function and preventing colds and flus starts with a healthy diet centered around whole foods and a ton of fruits and veggies. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that is responsible for various bodily functions, such as producing collagen in the skin. Because vitamin C is so highly concentrated in immune cells, we quickly use up our supply when fighting an infection. One study showed that taking 200 mg. of vitamin C per day did not seem to reduce the frequency of colds, but it did reduce duration and severity. And there's a lot to be said for that.
Many people turn to orange juice when they're sick, which (contrary to popular belief) can actually do more harm than good.
Many people turn to orange juice when they're sick, which (contrary to popular belief) can actually do more harm than good. Juice has been extracted from its whole food form, and therefore separated from important fiber and micronutrients that are naturally occurring in the fruit. Juice is high in sugar, and colds can be worsened by consuming sugar.
Instead, try consuming the following whole foods that are either higher in vitamin C or on par with orange juice, with far less sugar:
- Papaya
- Bell Peppers
- Broccoli
- Brussels Sprouts
- Strawberries
- Pineapple
- Kiwi
- Cantaloupe
- Cauliflower
A few key supplements can make a world of difference in keeping you healthy this year. There are 13 vitamins and more than 16 minerals essential to human health. A good multi-vitamin supplement will offer each and every one of these nutrients, and some also contain certain herbs, amino, and fatty acids. In an ideal world, all of our nutrients would be obtained by a daily diet rich in nutrient dense foods, but we all know that this is often not possible for the average office worker. Therefore, a multivitamin is key.
Including a vitamin C supplement that comes with other immune-boosting compounds, such as bioflavanoids and rose-hips, can be an excellent addition to your supplement regimen.
Supplementing with probiotics is almost always beneficial. Probiotics are good gut bacteria that line of our digestive tract. You might not know that upward of 80% of our immune system lives in our gut, and without proper gut flora, we can face serious immune dysfunction. Great food sources of probiotics include fermented foods such as raw sauerkraut or kombucha tea, but taking a probiotic supplement is also a good idea.
Basic Office Cleanliness
Not only will office cleanliness support physical health, but it can also greatly increase productivity. One sick person in an office can infect up to half of all employees, and a clean and healthy work environment can go a long way in preventing the spread of illness. Aside from the obvious (encouraging hand washing, covering coughs, etc), offices can also have fresh fruit and vegetables available instead of junk food for snacks.
Make sure that communal and personal office supplies and equipment are kept clean (everything from computers and copy machines to microwaves), and celebrate birthdays or other events without weekly sugar binges.
Be Smart and Stay Home
While a manager or company can't force an employee to stay home if they are sick, there are steps that can be taken to encourage it. Creating an atmosphere where calling in sick is acceptable and employees aren't penalized is important, as well as regularly reminding and educating employees on when they should not come to work. If possible, giving the option of working from home can an excellent incentive, as well.
Considering how many hours per week many of us spend at the office, focusing on office health and wellness is key in avoiding colds and flus. By eating healthy, taking certain supplements and staying home when you're sick, you might just sail through this year virus-free.

If you need to have intercourse without getting in any relationship and your moral does not permit you for one night stand and you dislike the notion of the many goodbyes when you are finished. To spare yourself from heartaches and terrible breakups, you have to buy yourself a love doll and examine how the individual can be your definitive partner. Here are a few reasons why you should buy a silicone love doll:
No breakups
Your silicone love doll isn't jealous of other partners. There is no baggage when you are finished with her or him. They are constantly prepared to nurture your wild fantasies to keep you warm for the duration of the day. Their survival relies upon your level of satisfaction so there is no fear of heartaches. The doll can be placed in all positions you like and her sensible textured inserts make the intercourse a long way from artificial.
No aging
Aging is human however the life of a silicone love doll will always remain intact. They will last for a considerable length of time if you take care of them. There is a low maintenance cost and they don't request anything.
No compromise
Most young ladies accompany their set of demands and are there to transform you for their best but advance silicone love doll can be designed how you like from her boobs to the color of her clitoris. You can get unlimited attention without trading off on your ideas and plans.
No recurrent expense
Dates are expensive on the grounds that fancy suppers and astonishment gifts all are included. Due to the current reduction in salaries and diminished monetary security, people reduce their spending even in their love life. With a genuine lady, you have to invest in her, spoil her with gifts so as to stand out enough to be noticed. This isn't the situation with the silicone love doll, they neither require your meeting or gifts to entertain you. There is no recurrent expense for having intercourse with them.
No health hazard
There are no health issues with a sex doll, not at all like the hazard you look with strangers in paid sex. There is no guarantee that your sexual partner for the night is contaminated with STDs or not. You can rest guaranteed that you are sheltered after the most stunning sexual ride.

About the founder – Kit Laughlin
Kit Laughlin is an authority on the subject of stretching and strengthening, and many areas in between.
Kit studied traditional Japanese medicine during a four-year stay in Japan and was the personal Shiatsu practitioner for the Japanese Ambassador in Australia. He was also asked to treat a Japanese Prime Minister during a visit to Australia in 1988.
Formerly, he had been an Olympic lifter and middle distance runner, becoming a student of exercise forms: he attended dance and gymnastics classes; he studied anatomy and physiology, and studied Yoga and Pilates.
What is Stretch Therapy?
Stretch Therapy (or 'ST' for short) is the safest, most efficient bodywork method available if you want to experience grace and ease in daily life, whether you are an office worker, or an athlete.
Stretch Therapy is used by pregnant women, teenagers, sportspeople, coaches, employers, and people of all ages, all around the world.
Principles of ST
The key principle of ST is that the body‒mind complex is more than the sum of its parts (so, wholistic, or systems theoretical perspectives are favoured over mechanistic, or reductive ones ‒ unless there is a reason to favour the latter over the former!).
Three additional principles are discussed below.
Techniques in ST
We use the term 'technique' interchangeably with 'method' or 'approach'; and as used here, is synonymous with 'tool', or a device designed to produce a specific effect.
Techniques include Contract–Relax, Pulsing, Long-Holds, Micro-movements, Directed Breathing, and more.
Deep Well Being
Kit Laughlin has been a meditator for 30 years. The Deep Well Being (DWB) stream brings methods out of Buddhist monasteries into ordinary daily life, for anyone to use.
Cultivation of serenity in the body as a direct physical experience is what most of us need, and DWB starts there.
In RollStretch (RS) the emphasis is fascia. RS uses sticks, balls of various diameters, and rollers (we recommend the TravelRoller) to increase the effect of any stretch position.
'Fascial remodelling' is a reality; this term describes what happens when this tissue is stressed in particular ways and it is permanently altered as a result.
Monkey Gym
Monkey Gym (MG) is the strength and agility wing of the ST system.
The foundation of any effective strengthening work is sound biomechanics, and we start there. Adding strength on top of unsound foundations simply will not work, long term.
How ST evolves
At the Australian National University, more than 20 teachers and advanced students met every Tuesday evening, in the classes that had been running there for 27 years.
- How does ST compare with Yoga, Pilates, etc.?
- How often should I stretch?
- Am I too old to stretch?
- Can I stretch while I'm pregnant?
Our work and travels have brought us in contact with many remarkable people. Here is a little background to some of our colleagues and partners. As an explicitly open learning system, we urge you to connect with these people.

SP Angel
A modernised logo to drive a communication refresh
SP Angel is an independent partnership that helps clients build better businesses through their creative investment banking solutions and detailed regulatory knowledge.
FourthQuarter was commissioned to re-design the company brand, this involved developing the logo which had lost its integrity over a number of years and evolving the wider communication style for the business.
All five partners of SP Angel needed to be fully on board with the new logo and design approach, so we took them through several alternative routes for the logo to demonstrate the range of options they had.

After the VPN tunnel is established, the managed Windows Mobile device sends a request to Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Device Management Server through MDM Gateway Server. Based on the local routing settings, MDM Gateway Server routes the message directly to MDM Device Management Server through the internal firewall. MDM Device Management Server pushes a Group Policy setting to the managed device. These settings include the client VPN proxy and an exception proxy. The client proxy becomes active. Unless listed in the proxy exception list, all traffic that uses the connection manager on the managed device, including Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) traffic, now routes through this proxy.
The following illustration shows how this is a direct process between MDM Device Management Server and the managed device. MDM Gateway Server only forwards network traffic to and from the managed device.
The first time that the managed device successfully connects your company network by using MDM Gateway Server, it communicates with MDM Device Management Server to report its configuration and to check for updates. The following steps detail this process:
- After the device connects to MDM Gateway Server, it begins an
OMA DM connection to MDM Device Management Server.
- MDM Device Management Server authenticates the managed device
by using IIS Active Directory Certificate Mapping, which uses the
machine certificate for that device, the SSL authentication
process, and Active Directory® Domain Service machine account
mapping. There is a one-to-one mapping between the machine
certificate and the domain machine account.
- MDM Device Management Server configures the managed device with
an initial connection schedule and then queries the device for
information about its current configuration. When the query
returns, the device disconnects.
- MDM Device Management Server calculates the Group Policy and
the initial managed applications that are required for the device.
These settings are calculated and cached as OMA DM commands in the
MDM database to use when the client connects again.
- The device reconnects to MDM Device Management Server by using
the schedule it received during the first connection. At this
point, MDM Device Management Server pushes the OMA DM commands to
the device to configure it.
- After the initial schedule and changes are complete, the device
is set to a default reconnection schedule of eight hours. The
administrator can change this setting.
- If the device has to receive Group Policy or software packages,
MDM Device Management Server pushes these settings through MDM
Gateway Server, down the IPsec tunnel, and to the device.
Internet Access
Before it is provisioned with proxy settings, the client might be unable to access the Internet. After it is provisioned with proxy settings, the managed device sends an HTTP request to an Internet Web site. The managed device checks the URL within the request, and then sends the request to the provisioned proxy through the VPN tunnel. When the request from the managed device arrives, the MDM Gateway Server queries the local routing table to see how to route this traffic to the Web proxy. The proxy receives the message, applies the proxy policy, changes its source IP address to a routable Internet IP address, and then sends the IP address back to the Internet.

I'm going to try to keep this up and do it again tomorrow.
This time its RANKURUSU!!!
[Click on the images for full view, my dears]
Gaaaaaah! I've been wanting to make this guy since he first came out! I just didn't think I had enough light green to make him. I ended up finding a bit of it in the bottom of my fabric box. X_X
This one was very time consuming but very rewarding. :> He had so many repetitive balls I had to sew! CURSE YOU BALLS! I really wanted to make the effect of him sorta coming out of his green cell, I knew I didn't want to make all the inside parts flat pieces of fabric. I stuffed his body so that it slightly popped out, which looks really cool from side views.
*7 1/2 inches, Arm length 28 inches wide
*Hand sewn
*Embroidery features
Hes not in pokedoll style but more like the gen 5 pokemon Center plush that recently came out for the region. Hes about the same size as my Emonga. Im wondering if I should add a pink tongue in his mouth but then I sorta like just the red...what do you you guys think?
Im also deciphering if I should make his prevos since I have the fabric for it but are they popular enough? :O
This is the third plush that will be up for auction for my October Custom post! Two more to go! Next one is going to be a flying type. C:
Thanks for looking!~

Digital Rev Tyler Shields
Check out this amazing piece by DigitalRev and Rick Boost
As one of the most recognizable photographers in L.A, Tyler Shields knows what descriptors are thrown his way by the critics. Works that slam together glitz and grime together, like bubblegum sparkle mashed with dirt, have seen him proclaimed as tawdry, a shock tactician, and a firebrand. One particular moniker he has chosen to embrace as the title of his new photo collection book is 'Provocateur'.
"History is always more interesting then present day because you can look back on it from all angles," Shields says. "In the present we form opinions and those become bias but when you look back you see it for what it was and then from there create a series in a totally different way."
Shields' likes to play in whatever era grabs him; and what grabs Shields is the empathically iconic. Whether that be the intoxicating hedonism of aristocratic 18th century France or the societal stresses of modern America. Shields says "I like to create my own history and the freedom in that is priceless."
In Tyler Shields' photographs the traditional victim of violent race-related injustice turns aggressor. For Shields, it's a powerful and symbolic role reversal.
There he hangs, just feet above the water.
The white, hooded figure whose body is limp and lifeless resembles a uniformed member of the Klu Klux Klan. As he hangs, a black man securely holds the opposite end of the rope. Is he the culprit or the savior? We do not know.
It's an image shocking even by today's standards: after all, the despicably archaic act of lynching still permeates today's society. Just this week a black man in Georgia was found hanging behind a house that wasn't his.
He had recently been questioned for the death of a white woman and, as investigators search for answers, the family refuses to accept his death as a suicide.
"Right now we are going through a real racial issue in our country," Tyler Shields, who photographed the image for his new series Historical Fiction, told The Daily Beast. "And, to me, these things that happened in the 20s and 30s, they're just as poignant today as they were back then."
According to an investigation by the Equal Justice Initiative (PDF), some 3,959 blacks were lynched between 1877 and 1950 throughout the South.
The KKK and other "white mob" groups have been primary suspects in countless cases that are still being investigated today.
Yet there's never been a documented case of anyone hanging a Klansman, according to Shields, who was curious as to how the role reversal would look and the emotional reaction it would evoke in the viewer.

ARTICLE BY Zak Cheney-Rice
The most polarizing photo of Tyler Shields' career shows a naked black man hanging a Klansman.The Ku Klux Klan is not happy about it, Shields says. Nor are a number of his artist friends, who claim the image is so loaded with painful iconography that they worry how viewers will react to it.
"It was too much for them," Shields told Mic in an interview. "I have a photographer friend who looked at the image and freaked out: 'You can't put this out there. It's too crazy. It's too much.'
"[They] kept telling me, 'People are going to ask you too many questions,'" he said. "'I wouldn't even know what to say.'"
None of this fazes Shields, however; in fact, it's kind of the point. For him, the "challenge" of disseminating images like this lies precisely in not having a prepped explanation for what they signify.
"A lot of artists want an exact statement for everything they do," he said. "But I never want to not create something because I'm afraid of what it might say."
Even so, you might assume that the 33-year-old photographer from Jacksonville, Florida — who built his newest photo series around the civil rights era's most potent images and symbols — is at least somewhat politically driven.
You might also assume that he has much to say about the state of American race relations, especially since the high-profile police killings of black men and boys like Walter Scott and Michael Brown.
But you'd be wrong — to a point. For starters, Shields is clear about how little he follows current events.
"I live in my own world," he said. "I try to get my news the old-fashioned way, through word of mouth. So when it finally gets to me, it's usually already a big story."
And he's relatively adamant about his lack of political involvement.
"I think this is the first time I've commented on anything politically," he said. "I try not to be influenced by things."

Yesterday when I posted this, I had no idea the reaction it would get and after becoming my most shared and liked photo on both Instagram and Facebook, it was interesting to think that this photo never would have happened had I not started a 100 day photo challenge. Photography or anything you do for that matter is about dedication and I have never lost sight of that it only gets more and intense for me I only want to do better and better, and I just want to be better. So if you are reading this and you second guess anything keep pushing keep going and never stop!

Dont live for likes
A lot of people just care about likes they think about making or posting work that will only get likes, of course you want people to enjoy your work but likes wont make you happy they wont help you create the work for you want to create. Create what you want to create don't makes things to please others or to get likes!
This photo didn't get a lot of likes but it sold out in a gallery…

Artificial Intelligence In Online Poker Games
Artificial Intelligence developers are constantly making improvements and developing the AI technology that they already have. AI is well known for mastering a huge range of games, from chess to Go, and more recently, even poker! Every single year, more and more records are broken using AI systems against humans, and it wasn't until recently that the incredible happened and an AI system beat not just one, but four of the world's best poker players.
This may not seem like such a big achievement when so many other types of games have been won by AI systems before, but poker is different. When you deal with poker – probably the greatest of the real money skill games – you deal with lots of imperfect information, making it very complicated for a machine to understand.
So in poker, the machine not only has to think strategically about how to win the game, but it also has to deal with risk management, deception on the part of the human, unreliable information, and maybe even bluffing itself.
All interesting stuff, so let's take a look at some information provided by Pokersites with their timeline and a few facts on the incredible development of poker AI:
Humans are slowly starting to trust AI, especially that of millennials, 62% of people between the ages of 17-24 trust certain AI systems, compared to only 34% of people over the age of 55. That doesn't mean, however, that those that don't trust AI systems don't believe that they could benefit the human race in the future.
The very first poker AI system was developed back in 1984. Mike Caro, the system's creator named the software Orac and he used it to compete in WSOP. Compared to the systems that are available today, Orac was relatively basic, but it was the system that set the wheels in motions for the development of further poker.
In 1991, the University of Alberta team began their work on their poker AI research. It was not until later however that they realized that their work would be one of the biggest developments in poker AI.
Loki was developed in 1997 and has had a huge impact on the poker world. The AI bot was designed to play a full table, and still to this day, a win of this level is yet to be achieved.
2003 was a big year in terms of the development of poker AI, as developers started to steer away from the Chess model. It was this shift that leads to the development of some very successful AI.
This year marked the most dominant performance of an AI system versus a human in poker.
Polaris was launched in 2007 and is to this day one of the most famous poker bots, mainly thanks to its match against Phil Laak. Although the bot lost, the match was certainly very close. Polaris is a different kind of bot to what was formally developed as it consists of lots of bots all working together. In 2008 the system was up against six humans and finished with a record of three wins, two losses, and a tie.
After many years of development, the University of Alberta released Capheus, a bot that has now solved heads-up Limit Hold'em. The bot mastered the game by playing itself for two months and came from a long line of other famous AI bots.
In 2017, The University of Alberta released Deepstack AI which used a new algorithm that learns from self-play. This is a particularly notable AI bot due to the fact that it was able to become a winning poker player with no training from experts.
The AI system names Libratus managed to beat a human team of poker champions, a benchmark that has arguably been a long time coming. The bot not only won, but it simply destroyed its opponents. Libratus would analyze its own play every day in order to correct the mistakes that it formally made.
As the timeline shows, almost every year has seen some huge developments in AI technology. Researchers are still working on developing the technology today in order to improve poker bots. This artificial intelligence could have a big impact on other any other industries, so Poker AI has an exciting future ahead!

BOSTON, March 28, 1998 – A combination of drug treatment and psychotherapy may offer the most help to people who suffer from panic disorder, according to new guidelines provided by the American Psychiatric Association.
The Practice Guidelines for the Treatment of Patients with Panic Disorder announced at the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) National Conference, are designed to assist psychiatrists in assessing panic disorder and prescribing appropriate and effective treatment.
Among the most common psychiatric conditions, panic disorder affects more than two million people throughout the U.S., including children and adolescents. Leading South African experts believe similar figures apply to South Africa. The majority of sufferers are women who experience their first panic episode before the age of 24. It is characterised by recurrent panic attacks – brief periods of intense fear and discomfort in which the person feels a sense of danger and the need for escape. While emotionally troubling, panic attacks can also interfere with daily living and a person's ability to function.
According to the new guidelines, the most effective treatment for panic disorder includes psychotherapy – specifically cognitive behavioural therapy – and anti-panic medication, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and monoamine oxidasse inhibitors (MAOIs).
While the guidelines emphasise that all the drugs are comparable with respect to effectiveness, eash has adifferent side effect profile. For example, the SSRIs carry a risk of sexual side effects, but tricyclics and MAOIs can be toxic at high doses and result in cardiovascular and anticholinergic side effects in some patients. Ptients using benzodiazepines can develop a physical dependency on these drugs.
The guidelines therefore urge psychiatrists to carefully target drug treatment in light of a patient's current health status and the severity of their panic disorder.
In addition, the guidelines note that patients benefit from a combination of drug treatment and cognitive behavioural therapy. Cognitive behavioural therapy consists of psychoeducation, continuous panic montioring, breath retraining, cognitive restructuring – i.e., techniques to counter fear of bodily sesantions – and exposure to fear cues.
