Holidaying Italians lose 14 million worth of personal effects on beaches in August according to a survey carried out by Eta Meta Research, an Italian trend and research company, which interviewed beach resort management and some 200 lifeguards throughout the country.
Jewellery, watches, coins and sunglasses are the objects most frequently lost but also keys, wallets, toys, clothes and shoes. On the rise is also the loss of high-tech devices such as mobile phones, MP3s, cameras and childrens electronic games, such as the popular Gameboy.
And while some loll lazily on beaches and enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea, others are hard at work. On the increase is the number of beach treasure-hunters, armed with metal detectors, determined to track down this lost treasure and so to make a profit from the absent-mindedness of holiday-makers.

SD: I don't take anything Trump says at face value, Emily, anymore than I did with Obama. There is no way in hell we are going to see Glass-Steagall resurrected, nor do I expect we will see NAFTA renegotiated in any meaningful way. Trump promised to reform medicare prescription rates by renegotiating prescription rates with Big Pharma, and has already backed away on that and agreed with his corporate handlers that there will be no changes to their rip off scams in that arena. Same thing has been happening with his promises to work towards cooperation with Russia, in fact as I predicted his neocon appointees have instead immediately moved to further inflame tensions with Russia, China, and Iran.
Me: Exactly Stuart. And that is why maintaining the focus on and integrating any efforts to raise consciousness about the lack of structural financial competition and the monopolistic paradigms of finance is so important…because these two problems are the glue that keeps all of the systemic socio-economic, political and trans-national stupidities, including corporate dominance, in effect.
If there's any strategy by Russia in this it is perhaps the sowing and fomenting of obsessive contentiousness in the US, the better to cripple the home and still military leader of Finance Capitalism which Putin as a Russian and former KGB operative undoubtedly has a wary historical, economic and geo-strategic regard for. Of course I don't see Putin or any other national leader having much awareness of the solution to Finance either. They're all caught up in international corporatist power plays and nationalist politics. Obsession with power and conflict is the modus operandi and apotheosis of Finance. The only place it can go is to the dust bin of history via monetary grace or drag us all into perdition. Despite being a panentheist and Quantum Scientific Animist I find the spiritual reflectivities ironic.
Never let our vision fall to a lesser target than Finance. It is the glue holding all other temporal idiocies in suspension.
I think the best stance on Trump is agnosticism. Unless or until he clearly breaks right and or corporatist, or indicates he's aware of monetary movements like Public Banking/Social Credit and espouses policies reflecting that….how can anyone be sure where "his head is at"?
However, as I posted before with a guy like Steve Bannon as his chief strategist flux/confusion/change is his MO. I worry that Bannon who apparently is an advocate of "The Fourth Turning" which is a sketchy "pop" and amateurish view of Man and history authored by William Strauss and Neil Howe, has his ear. Strauss and Howe's intellectual allegiances are linked to persons and corporations who believed in invalidated neo-liberal DSGE economic theory and the consequent moves toward mergers and acquisitions/hedge fund/derivatives nonsense that resulted in the "great financial crisis" in 2008, so I'm skeptical of the advice he's getting.
If he was getting counsel aligned with the world's major Wisdom traditions which is the best integration of the ideal and the practical and has a 10,000 year evolving history of observing Man and his interactions with the world…I'd be a lot more confident.

How The Teaching Of Maths Has Changed
It is natural for teaching methods and syllabi to change in order to keep up-to-date with the way the world is developing. In the field of Maths, teaching has moved more towards practical Mathematics, thereby providing the perfect platform for careers in finance, engineering and many other fields.
In the USA during the late 1950s and 60s, a new method of teaching Mathematics involving understanding the theory behind Maths as opposed to simply memorising various calculations and other rote learning, was applied in the classroom.
The main problem that is a concern to the level of Maths education is that there are no 'real world' Maths situations involved in the current syllabus. An article by The Guardian suggests that "It's not so much that Maths education is worse than it was; instead, real life is much more demanding and we're running in the wrong direction to catch up."
Take the use of computers, for example. In the twenty-first century, computers are used for almost everything. There is an app, game, or program which can do almost anything for you. Nearly every equation which is needed to be worked out is done so via calculator or via smartphone. It stands to reason, therefore, that a new emphasis in Mathematics should relate to problem solving and computational skills, as opposed to more traditional rote-learning methods.
When relating to real life circumstances, people within business tend to use their computers to find out the answers to multiple sums in one go, choosing to use a program such as Microsoft Excel as opposed to working the problems out with pen and paper. However, this creates a new problem in itself. We will need to know the wide range of formulae in Excel in order to find the answer. The approach to understanding this and working out the resulting information requires algebraic thinking, which some may argue is the method we need to be taking when educating children in Mathematics.
The tutors we recommend are fully up-to-date with every change in the UK national curriculum. They ensure that your children are fully prepared both for their school examinations (at Key Stage Two SATs, GCSE, AS- or A-Level) and for the mathematical skills required in future employment.

Five final thoughts from the Stellar basketball tournament
Total People in Discussion: 17
I need a day away from the Beach. After being out at Cedar Beach for parts of the last five days -- actually six if you count some interviews I did out there last Tuesday -- I need a break from that beautiful park. I will be back out for SportsFest starting either Weds. or Thursday.
I will start thinking about SportsFest tomorrow, but I did hear from somebody I trust that they're going to charge $5 to park this year!? It was evidently said on a radio interview on B104. I haven't had that confirmed, but I do believe that could be a major mistake that would only chase folks away at a time when SportsFest should be looking for any and every way possible to bring people to the venue.
I can only hope that what I heard was wrong. But SportsFest can wait for a day or so.
The Stellar Construction tournament was another success and after having to rush up to Parkland and other venues for Friday night's schedule, the weather couldn't have been better.
Here are five thoughts I will take away from the weekend:
1. I was disappointed, as were many others, that Harrisburg chose to come in and play one game (an easy win over Pen Argyl) and then left the tournament with two forfeit losses. Harrisburg is one of the marquee names in PIAA basketball and people look forward to seeing the Cougars play. If they commit to the tournament, they should commit all the way and not have people flock to Cedar Beach to see an Allen-Harrisburg game, for example, only to be told that the game will not take place because one team decided not to show. It doesn't reflect well on Harrisburg or the tournament when stuff like that happens.
2. Lots of hard work is in store for most of the new boys coaches. Northwestern, Palmerton, Lehighton and Pen Argyl didn't last very long in the tournament and the new staffs at each school will have major rebuilding projects ahead. But the good news for those new guys is that there's only way to go -- and that's up.
3. The Lehigh Valley Conference is going to have a lot of balance. We've said this before, but it's worth repeating -- the LVC is going to be wide-open next year. Emmaus, Freedom, Easton, Liberty, Allen, Central, Dieruff and Northampton all had good Stellar tournaments. The league will feature lots of good teams, but I am not sure there's a great one out there and that will keep things tightly-packed and interesting. If I had to pick a team to beat today, it would be Emmaus, but the Green Hornets (featuring Greg Bobal below) are not head and shoulders better than Freedom and about four other teams.
4. What will help the LVC is the improvement of the teams that were in the league's lower half last season. Looks like Parkland, Whitehall, Northampton, Dieruff and Bethlehem Catholic are all going to be improved this season. Obviously, Freedom will be much better. I believe most of these teams are in the SportsFest tournament so we will learn more about them in the coming weekend.
5. The Stellar tournament (which includes outstanding girls players like Olivia Hassler below) remains a great event.
I know there will be critics out there and people always looking to run things down and rip. But having worked closely with the people at Stellar for many years, I can tell you that they love what they do and they are committed to putting on the best event possible. It starts at the top with Tony Stellar, who really has not forgotten about where he grew up and what made him the success that he is.
It is not easy to coordinate an event of this magnitude, and there's always going to be a glitch or two. Yet, Glen Klein and staff pull it off every year and the Stellar becomes a great mix of kids, community and local businesses.
I will be honest and offer no apologies in telling Groller's Corner readers that I enjoy working with those people and the whole event does have a family reunion feel to it each and every July. There's always a sense of sadness when it's over, and yet, the next year and the next tournament will be here before you know it.
I am also looking forward to the SportsFest tournament because there are also some terrific people involved with that as well, and I love the basketball.
But I just need a day or two away from the Beach and the bouncing balls.

Current Comments
I pretty much agree with everything you've said . It was a great weekend , especially for us " hoop junkies ." Looking forward to more basketball this weekend at Sportsfest . Unless you are correct and they'll be charging to park . I enjoy the come-and-go aspect of these tournaments and love that they are free . I believe they would open a pandora's box of problems with a parking charge ( hard to think of H.S. kids paying to park at a venue they are playing at !) But I believe people will do anything for money these days . If that's the case , they'll do it without me .
My final thoughts:
1. From what I heard, there was no Jimmer Fredette. As I predicted last week, I knew he was not coming and never intended to. He has played in hundreds of basketball tournaments over the years so what makes this one special? Every tournament can probably claim in some fashion that they were responsible for his success. He put Allentown in his rear view mirror years ago.
2. Yes I agree that it is a lot or hard work and lots of people working hard to make this tournament run...but...why do we need a 15+ minute post tournament awards ceremony? The last thing that people want to after being out in the sun all day is to stay around longer than they have to. If you must do awards why don't they use the down time before the final game? Also, how many times must you thank the mayor and city council? Of all the dozens and dozens of people involved, they probably rank about 40-50 of people who did some real work for the tournament. Do they give most of the awards just for the sake of giving awards?
3. The Stellar girls were not really that "stellar" except for maybe 3 of them. What purpose do they really serve except for eye candy? These are BOYS playing, most under 18, and i'm sure any impure thoughts they may conjure up about the "girls" could get the "girls" some serious jail time if you get my drift. If this is such a great tournament can't it stand on its own reputation and not rely on some chicks in short shorts and high heels?
4.Every year it seems that there are forfeits or teams not coming? I have a simple solution...don't let them back next year.
5. I realize that cars must park somewhere, but I am amazed by how many cars are allowed to park whereever they want all over Cedar Beach on the grass.Is there any consideration to the damage that is done to one of the city's prized parks?
6.Where do the profits from this tournament go? Yes, I know there are costs involved such as rentals, officials, trophies, etc. etc. but there has to be some money left over and maybe quite a bit. Where does it go? Are there scholarships or donations to charity? Does somebody or somebodys split the profit amongst themselves?
7. Not going to rip the tournament director this time. He is what he is...a joke, but proper credit must be given for all the hard work and time he puts in to make this a success each year.I'm sure a lot of people benefited by his work.
Keith, I did receive confirmation of the $5 parking fee this year. If they continue this, it will turn into another MayFair where all those years it was free and had large crowds will dwindle away and not come back. I haven't been back since they've charged and I'm told by people who did go it's not worth it anymore. and also to note it wasn't as crowded in other years for Stellar this year. I've been there when the courts were 4-5 people dep if not more. There were more people around Court #2 for Allen's 11am game then Bethlehem Catholic - Easton. So many empty bleachers falls back to numerous articles over the winters with empty gyms. Remember when Super Sunday was held in downtown Allentown and Hamilton St. was closed off between 5th and 11th?? Tons of vendors. Shops opened. Now I think they close a block off. Again haven't been there since I was a teenager. I understand change needs to be made but people are going to be PO'ed when they find out they have to pay "everyday" they're there to park. If that's the way they have to make a buck, then have the vendors charge 50% more for their food items and get it that way. Wonder if the mayor has to pay to park?? As for Justin Case, couldn't have said your remarks any better except for ripping Mr Klien. All he did was drive his off road vehicle around the entire weekend. Stop at a court for two minutes and drive off. Oh forgot...shirtless, hat backwards and his trusty white towel. Suprised Mr. Klein didn't get the idea of charging to park. Maybe next year????
You know Justin, If you're lucky enough to get to heaven, you'll probably still have a laundry list of complaints about that setup.
Thats ok there Rico buddy. I was not being negative, just giving my thoughts chief. You can choose to go around being a lapdog or groupie to people if you choose.
$5 to park is true, KG. Thankfully I am within walking distance. Otherwise, there is NO WAY id pay $5 each day to stroll cedar beach to watch mostly amateurs perform.
I didnt get to Stellar this year, but I will be at Sportsfest as I enjoy their bball tourny MUCH more. The sportsfest crew run a smooth tourny that the kids seem to enjoy more. However, disappointingly, i did not get to see King Klein this past weekend.
Will he show his chistled bare figure, Hulk Hogan mustache, flat-top, and/or backwards hat at Sportsfest? All spectators do win by King Klein having his shirt off: 1) he attracts more flies, 2) it works as a great basis for planned parenthood, and 3) i wont have to entertain my wife's thoughts/desires all weekend!!!
Does Mr. Kline make an appearance at Sportsfest to watch basketball? If he is "for the kids" and "loves the game" surely he must go, no? Or, is he too good to show up for this inferior event to his?
My biggest question is what did Aaron Gray do to tick off the lehigh valley? The stellar tourney hypes up one kid (jimmer) who played in this tourney & has no ties to lehigh valley besides that, when we actually have a local product coming off a great productive year in the NBA. Where is the love? Aaron at best is a 1 second sound byte when jimmer is on commercials and such. Why no love for Aaron? And i'm not even an emmaus fan! I just think its ridiculous we don't hype up our local athletes.
Also if this tourney is for the kids and a "class act" why can't those who run it act like it- the stellar girls are unnecessary and trampy, the people who run it walk around with their shirts off , and the awards ceremony is to give as many awards as possible to the friends of all the cronies. None of that has anything to do with the kids. Whats next- award for best sun tan?
Chris-you can be rest assured that if an Allen player made it to the NBA they would promote him each and every year. This tournament caters to Allen and the Allen crowd. Not sure what they have against Aaron Gray but they think this tournament somehow made Jimmer what he is today...NOT.
Chris - I am an Emmaus fan , and would love to see Aaron get back to the L.V. more often . However I'm sure life in the NBA keeps him quite busy . And during his time at Pitt his parents moved out of the area . I too was a bit surprised at the volume of " Jimmer Mania " at the Stellar this year ; But hey , strike while the iron is hot !
The tourney is a great success every year as it draws thousands of fans and more importantly puts the attention on the kids as basketball is the centerpiece of allentown for 5 days. However, the weather was in the mid 90's and with the humidity it had to feel over 100 on that pavement. The Parkland girls had to play 6 games on the final day just to get to the ship! Granted, they would have not had that issue had they not been knocked down to the losers bracket. Parkland fan or not, no 16-18 year old KID should be allowed to play that many games in 1 day. That is absolutley ridiculous. Granted, Mr. Klein and the staff do a great job of providing shade/water for the kids but that is boardline child abuse.
Chris Paul:
I can't speak for the others who spoke during the various ceremonies, but as someone involved in the closing awards ceremony I made sure it was said that not only was Jimmer Fredette here before, but also other NBA players as Rip Hamilton, Donyell Marshall and Aaron Gray played in the Stellar tournament. All four were also mentioned in pre-tournament literature sent out to the prospective teams.
I can also tell you that when Gray came back to the tournament after his first season with the Bulls he was treated like a king by the Stellar staff and had a nice reunion with everyone in the media tent.
In addition, when he was at Pitt, Aaron was given several feature stories per year and since he has been in the NBA, this newspaper has given him at least one major feature story per season, if not more.
And he has deserved every story, every bit of ink.
Unfortunately, the New Orleans Hornets are not in our coverage area, and visit NY, NJ and Philly just once per NBA season.
To set the record straight, he has hardly been forgotten by the Lehigh Valley.
Keith, if we are going to set the record straight, yes i heard your one line sound byte mention of Aaron this year, but i'm speaking to the volume of promotion and hype a non local resident -Jimmer got all summer long. Lets not also forget the "rumor" that spread that he was coming to make a special appearance.
As someone who has been going there every summer IF Aaron had his return like you said he did - the public didn't see it- why was there no big rumor of Aaron showing up like the Jimmer rumor was pushed around- and why wasn't he ever hyped up in any tv or promo commercials and such like Jimmer was all this year? We actually have a local product and yet they are trying to lay claim to a guy from NY who has no ties and in all reality has long put this place in his dust.
I saw the one small article this year on Aaron, then followed up with the article of him exiting his contract early. But come on man, The New Orleans Hornets don't need to be the area- there is NBA TV, NBA Package and the internet , I'm not saying he needs to be in the paper every week or anything close to that- but the distance thing is a non issue and i just think it's funny we have a real NBA player here that gets very little amount of love. JIMMER got more press off this years Stellarfest than all Aaron's years in the NBA.
Chris Paul,
I am not in charge of publicity for the tournament and was not responsible for what some are calling "Jimmer Mania." And I always doubted he would actually come here.
But let's get real here -- if you are going to use someone with a national reputation with national name recognition to promote your tournament -- who are you going to use -- Jimmer Fredette or Aaron Gray?
Remember we're talking about promoting the tournament, not Lehigh Valley basketball. Certainly, if the purpose was to say the Lehigh Valley has had some good players over the years, you'd put Aaron front and center.
Again, I am put in a position where it's looking like I am knocking Aaron, which I am not because I think he's a great kid, but if you want to let people know what kind of tournament you have, which name are you seriously going to use?
Fredette was the national player of the year in college basketball in 2011. No. 1 in the nation. Many people in this area, and certainly those not from this area, probably didn't know that he was here in 2006 and was the tourney MVP.
My assumption is that the people who follow basketball in the Lehigh Valley knew Gray played in this tournament and my guess is that those from outside the area who didn't know he played in this tournament wouldn't consider it to be earth-shaking news anyway, at least when compared to Fredette.
And a couple of other quick points: Aaron's appearance at the Stellar tournament several years ago was a surprise visit and a quick in and out. There was no time to hype it up beforehand, and it was mentioned in a story after it happened. I believe a picture of Aaron ran in the paper with Glen Klein.
And frankly, when it comes to stories on a person, the distance thing is an issue. When you do a feature story on a guy, it's always better to do it in person and talk to the guy face-to-face and get him and his coach and other players to comment. All pro players can be difficult to get just by phone. So, yes, to do it right, you want to do it in person.
I have to respectfully disagree that Aaron hasn't been treated fairly around here. I will tell you this, if he said he'd definitely be here at any of these tournaments, you'd get tired of hearing about it because everyone would jump at the chance to promote it. Because Glens Falls was in the tournament and the Hammel family remains close to Fredette, there was talk of him coming here over the weekend, but again, I always considered it to be a long shot and that's why I didn't enter into the "Jimmer Mania" and concentrated on what was happening with the tournament.
Stellar Tournament no doubt is a great show case for this community and Tony is to be commended for all his efforts. I'm sure the Jimmer rumor was all hype as CHEK says to strike while the iron is hot.
I believe there is a review of the things that are and aren't working during the event other wise they would have had that awful carney gambling trailer they had there last year. So here is my two cents:
I don't think the "Stellar girls" idea works anymore for alot of obvious reasons. Enough said.
And I don't think the "old bare chested" men bit works anymore either.
This was a great event. The organizers, participants and media who covered it are all to be commended. Thank you!
However I am stunned and saddened by the ceaseless negativity and parochial attitude of so many of these posters. It is no wonder we lose so many of our best and brightest to out migration....
So you are still claiming that the LVC will be wide open this winter? Did you really just watch the same tournament that I did? Emmaus blew away the competition, even BEATING Chester until they got to the final and lost to the defending state champions. Freedom had a great tournament, and Easton is solid, but let's stop crying parody right now Mr. Groller, there are several teams that are head and shoulders above the others. If you think Northampton can be as good as Emmaus or Freedom, I will tend to disagree

My friend Kim is a crafty gal. Her house is full of the coolest, most unique crafty artsy items I have ever seen.
Several months ago Kim invited several gals over to her house for a craft night. Since then it has become a monthly event that I always look forward to. A couple weeks ago Kim taught us how to make these adorable bird houses using an old license plate, a spoon, and some barn boards. They are even cuter in person than the picture shows.
Kim also makes some fabulous, unique purses that are made of galvanized (I think) tin and old children's story books. I am the happy owner of one of her super-cool purses, and it never fails to draw attention and comments everywhere I go. I have been after her for more than a year to get these purses out in the public so people can buy them. This week she opened her own etsy store and started a blog. Go check 'em out. She's such a cool person. You won't be disappointed. :)

Newcastle need to bring in a center-back in January, and these are five of the players we have so far been linked with.
James Tomkins – West Ham
Before we start it seems that Newcastle are not interested in Chelsea's Alex or Blackburn's Chris Samba.
Alex wants to stay in London and is said to be a target of QPR, but at £3M he would be a bargain, and we 're not exactly sure why we don't want to go after Samba.
But maybe it's his wage demands which would be around £60K/week that is the problem, but there again at around £6M the very experienced and powerful Chris Samba would be a bargain for some club.
Here are the center-backs we have been linked with this January starting with the player shown above – 22 year-old James Tomkins of West Ham.
Newcastle put in an improved bid only last week for the West Ham center-back, but the £4M offer was turned down.
It will take a bigger offer than that for West to allow their 22 year-old defender to leave the club in January, because West Ham want to be promoted back to the Premier League in May.
And they will hardly want to lose their best players half way through the season, and the West Ham co-owner David Gold today said the lad was not for sale last week:
"We want to keep James Tomkins, we really do want to keep him. I think it is fair to say he is not for sale."
We think it would be difficult for Newcastle to get this player in January.
James has played 103 times for West Ham with 3 goals and he has made 10 appearances for the England U21 side.
Jan Vertonghen – Ajax
It seems that Newcastle's top target is Vertonghen, a 24-year-old 6'3″ Belgium international, who is at Ajax, and it's believed Chief Scout Graham Carr is a big admirer of the player, but the Belgium will not come cheap.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested, but it seems the fee may have already put Newcastle off, and it could take as much as £10M to secure his transfer.
Jan joined Ajax back in 2003 as a 16 year-old from Belgium club Germinal Beerschot, and has played 201 times for the Dutch giants with 23 goals, and he has played 35 times with two goals for Belgium.
Yanga Mbiwa – Montpellier
Montpellier are second top of the French League after 19 games played, and have 37 points and are just 3 points behind leaders PSG.
Yanga-Mbiwa was born in Bangui, Central African Republic in 1989, and he is now a naturalized citizen of France, and that makes him eligible to represent France at International level.
The youngster is already captain of Montpellier at just 22, and he can play anywhere along the back line, and is keen to play in England, and said this back in late November:
"People live for football in England, and that is what I want to experience," "I'll see what offers I get, but English football is incredible."
"There is more physical contact than in France, but I like that – it suits my style of play."
We think Yanga-Mbia would be a good buy for Newcastle at around £5M, and his flexibility could also be a benefit to Newcastle.
Harry Maguire – Sheffield United
Born and bred in Sheffield, the local lad is just 18 years-old and has so far played 28 times with one goal for the Blades this season, and in total has made 32 appearances.
Newcastle manager Pardew has been monitoring the powerful center-back's form since the start of the season, and the youngster has been simply outstanding for the Blades.
Harry was the star performer for Sheffield in their fantastic run to the FA Youth Cup final just last season, which was the Blades first FA Youth Final they had reached in 59 years.
The Blades lost the two legged final 6-3 to Manchester United last May, after drawing the first game 2-2 at Bramall Lane.
Maguire has been an ever-present this season for the Sheffield first team and last October, in order to protect themselves more than anything else, Sheffield signed the lad to a new four year contract through 2015.
Maguire could cost as much as £3M in the transfer window, but he has great potential.
Lewis Dunk – Brighton
Lewis has played 23 times for Brighton this season, and made his debut back in May of 2010, starring in the 0–0 draw at Milton Keynes Dons, and he can also play in midfield as well as at center-back.
The player has already attracted the interest of top clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool, in addition to Newcastle.
Lewis received his first call-up to the England under-21 squad in November of last year, for the European Championship qualifiers against Iceland and Belgium.
The player was born and bred in Brighton, and is a tough tackling no nonsense center-back, but in his 23 appearances this season he has already picked up 11 yellow cards.
We're not sure how much he would cost Newcastle but it would probably be around £2M or less.
Finally, Alan Pardew is said to have about £8M to spend in the transfer market in January, so if he could bring in Mevlut Erding from PSG for £5M, and young Harry Maguire from Sheffield United for £3M we would be happy enough.
Yanga Mbiwa would also be a good buy at around £4M if we could get him for that.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

All good targets imo, but i don't know too much about them english youngsters. However, as long as Carr does, then 😉
Also some Hoilett news to move on from the Carroll stuff.
It was said in a recent article that there money availble for certain positions to add depth in the squad, and there were money also available should the right target become available.
We always get allot of rumours like any club, but everything should be taken with a pinch of salt.
But bidding £6 mill for Hoilett is a good deal both for us and for Blackburn, considering Rovers will lose him for nothing in the summer. I'd wait half way through the month tho, and give them a cheeky bid for £5 million. They'd have 2 weeks to get a possible replacement aswell.
Frankly, these two would be good but it's more important that we don't lose any players. January windows have traditionally NOT been good for us. Use that extra money to boost irreplaceable players. We currently have one who will hit 30 goals in the PL (these players are EXTREMELY hard to find) and one who is technically as good as any nu. 10 around.
While I understand we don't know how much is in the transfer window kitty, I know that 8 mil has been thrown around alot. I think MA and AP play alot of games during transfers to benefit the organization. It can be irritating to us the fans but if it keeps working I'm all for it.
I just can't imagine getting Erdinc, Hoilett and a CB. That would unbelieveable.
On ba, i don't begrudge Ba a move to PSG in the summer! If its his home town club, who he's supported since h was a boy, and lets face it are going to pay him 100 odd grand a week and will be challenging in the champions league next season, you can't deny him that move! I'll be royally pi$$ed off though if he turns up at any other side!
I think that we need experience cover at centre back just at present. I don't think MA will shell out for the Dutchman so my preference would be Samba followed by Mbiwa. The youthfullness of the lower league players has its attractions but the step up is big ask. So long as it's not Ridgwell. As a punt up front I think Matt Phillips at Blackpool is worth a look along side Junior Hoilett
Re the Demba situation, i blogged on another thread couple of days ago that you live by the sword and die by the sword.
If we have exploited other clubs by identifying clauses to sign players (cabaye and Ba perfect examples) then we just have to hope the players are happy at Newcastle and do not WANT to leave.
I still genuinely believe Ashley will have spilled this to Spurs, he will not be one bit bothered if Ba goes, he can blame the player stating he wanted the clause and we were powerless to stop him!
On the transfers, still think we will be lucky to get anyone over the line- more likely to sell players. Just feel we are a total selling club now and if an offer comes in for the club (lets face it we have a very strong foundation financially now) and it makes Ashley "look" like an excellent "business" deal…He will sell.
Pardew has done so well and so have all the players, would love this to continue but past experiences with the owner and chairman do not build confidence. IMO
Florida Toon…
Ashley is a spurs fan, we still do not know what the clause is- it has been suggested it was as low as 5mill now its supposed to cost up to 20mill with payments and insurances.
Ashley will have something where he will make a profit, i look at his business and he buys everything as cheaply as he can and sells at a profit- cannot see any other reason why this would be different. If he can make 3/4 million profit over a six month period he will. That in my opinion mate, hope i am wrong and we will know more at end of jan.
On the whole- i genuinely believe we will be weaker after this window and not stronger- again hope i am wrong mate
Lewis Dunk. 23 appearances with 11 yellow cards already eh? Why do we need him, we already have Kamikaze Perch and Tiote who are experts in getting suspended…with alan Smith a capable replacement…………………
I would prefer to see Mbiwa at SJP myself. captain of Montpellier, all rounder, looks very handy indeed.
I'm sitting on the fence about MA. I'm not sure if he is a money grabbing FCB who will sell any of our players for a profit as some of you maintain or whether he really does have the good of the club at heart and is turning it into a well run, upward looking club.
However I think by the end of this transfer window we will have an idea i.e. whether we sell or strengthen the squad.
Ashley is a successfully business man in sports retail. All retail businesses buy and sell at a profit that is how they exist and develop. We have developed over recent years and continue to improve, i believe he wants success at this club. Please give it a rest and wait and see what happens.
Not saying this IS the scenario, but if Ashley cannot prevent clubs stealinbg Ba for £7 m in the summer, then why wouldn't he try to generate interest NOW, when he could agree a higher fee. Right now, if the release clause is as reported, the MA is in control of the transfer fee.
A club may well pay more NOW, to avoid the summer rush and have him immediately after the ACN.
Negative waves Toon "fans" – get behind the Manager & the Board. At least we didn't do a Leeds Utd like we might have done. Give Carr some credit. If we can hold on to what we've got and add a solid centre back, striker & full back plus the mustard midfielder from Dijon we won't have done bad in this window. We can afford to tell Man Utd,Liverpool, City, Harry & Chelsea where to go on Tiote, Ba, Cabaye, Krul & Colo at least until the summer then renegotiate realistic contracts.

Detection of glycolaldehyde toward the solar-type protostar NGC 1333 IRAS2A⋆,⋆⋆

Glycolaldehyde is a key molecule in the formation of biologically relevant molecules such as ribose. We report its detection with the Plateau de Bure interferometer toward the Class 0 young stellar object NGC 1333 IRAS2A, which is only the second solar-type protostar for which this prebiotic molecule is detected. Local thermodynamic equilibrium analyses of glycolaldehyde, ethylene glycol (the reduced alcohol of glycolaldehyde), and methyl formate (the most abundant isomer of glycolaldehyde) were carried out. The relative abundance of ethylene glycol to glycolaldehyde is found to be ~5 – higher than in the Class 0 source IRAS 16293-2422 (~1), but similar to the lower limits derived in comets (≥3–6). The different ethylene glycol-to-glycolaldehyde ratios in the two protostars might be related to different CH3OH:CO compositions of the icy grain mantles. In particular, a more efficient hydrogenation on the grains in NGC 1333 IRAS2A would favor the formation of both methanol and ethylene glycol. In conclusion, it is possible that like NGC 1333 IRAS2A, other low-mass protostars show high ethylene glycol-to-glycolaldehyde abundance ratios. The cometary ratios might consequently be inherited from earlier stages of star formation if the young Sun experienced conditions similar to NGC 1333 IRAS2A.

Audience & Engagement
Looking Like a Business Expert when You're a New Entrepreneur
You've taken the leap of faith and have decided to start your own business. Your website is online, your marketing materials are ready-to-go, and over the past few months, you've invested countless hours and a mass of energy into crafting your perfect offering. Now it's time to step out of your comfort zone, hand your new business card over and meet potential clients.
For some entrepreneurs, meeting a potential client for the first time is exactly what they've been waiting for. For others, it's pure terror.
- What will they think of you?
- What if you're not taken seriously?
- How do you convey the image you're a business expert when you have only a couple of clients…or none at all?
Without a doubt, these fears and insecurities haunt every entrepreneur's mind. Unfortunately for many, they can scare you back into the safety of your comfort zone.
But even though you may have these fears and insecurities, your potential client doesn't necessarily have to see them. You can mask these insecurities by using a few techniques that I reveal below so that on the day of your first meeting, you look the part, act the part and sound the part.
First Impressions
Your first impression is the key to conveying the image that you're a business expert.
Researchers from New York University found that when you meet somebody for the first time, eleven major decisions are made about you in the first 7 seconds. Basically, the other person will be deciding: Are you someone to approach or to avoid? Are you trustworthy, competent and confident? Do you have status and authority?
Once these decisions are made, they form a type of prism through which your potential client will look at you from that time on.
If their first impression is that you're confident, capable and an expert, then they will look for information during your sales pitch and in your marketing materials that support that decision. However, if their first impression is that you're insecure, weak, or don't really seem to be an expert, then unfortunately they will look for information that supports that decision too.
The difficulty for most new entrepreneurs is that when you walk into client meetings, you're alone. You don't have the backing of an established corporate name to carry with you to the meeting.
As a new entrepreneur, you're forced to find a way to convey this same amount of credibility, authority and expertise all on your own.
How exactly do you convey the image you're an expert in 7 seconds when you've barely had time to introduce yourself?
It's all about making sure you look, act, and sound like an expert.
Look Like An Expert
Regardless of whether you want it to matter or not, your appearance is the first thing potential clients will notice when you walk through the door, and more specifically, your clothes.
If you wear a traditional suit and tie when pitching your product to a client whose office wardrobe consists only of jeans and a polo shirt, then you will feel and look out of place.
Likewise, if you arrive in jeans and a dress shirt to be just a little more on the casual side when everybody else at the meeting is wearing a suit, then again you will be the odd one out.
The key here is to do a little research before every meeting and find out what the general dress code is for the office, then boost the formality of your clothes just a little more.
You want to achieve a balance between appealing to your potential client and dressing with impact.
Here are some guidelines to help you out based on industry types:
- Traditional industries (banking, law, accounting, insurance): Men generally wear classic suits in navy, charcoal or black. You can add impact with a tie in a contrasting colour such as red, green, or blue. Women can choose either a pant or skirt suit, and add impact with contrasting belt, scarf or shoes.
- Creative industries (marketing, PR, advertising): Men, you'll probably still want to wear a suit, but may want to loose the tie. Instead you can add impact by changing the colour of you shirt. Ladies, you have a lot more creative room here. You can add confidence to your look with a striking dress, or contrasting jacket with a pair of your favourite pants.
- Relaxed industries (programming, IT, online businesses): Both men and women can wear jeans if that's what you're more comfortable in. But make sure they're neatly pressed and without holes. Ladies, you can add personality with your signature jewellery. Gentlemen, you can dress up your casual outfit with a classy belt or quality leather shoes.
Act Like An Expert
Your body language has a huge impact on how others perceive you. When you approach a potential client, he or she will be unconsciously but carefully studying your body language. They'll be looking for signs and messages that can help them form an opinion of you.
If you walk into a meeting room with your shoulders slumped, looking down, taking small steps, you'll emit signs of insecurity. If you walk into a meeting room taking large steps with your head held high, chances are you'll be perceived like an expert with authority.
Assuming you want your potential client to see you as an expert, then these tips will help you give that impression:
- Keep your chin up. When you hold your head high, it exposes your neck (the most vulnerable part of your body) and shouts out to your potential client, "You're going to love my offering".
- Take large steps. When you walk into the room taking large steps you exude decisiveness and assertiveness: two important characteristics of a powerful entrepreneur.
- Spread your wings. People who are insecure often try to make themselves as small as possible. To combat this, you should take up as much space as possible. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, and sit with your arms on the armrests.
- Smile, it's contagious. When you light your face up with a smile, it projects positive energy and openness; two things that will help your potential client relate to you.
When you project confident, positive and open body language, it becomes self-fulfilling: you will soon feel as confident, positive and happy as you appear.
Sound Like an Expert
You've got your winning outfit and confident body language, but if you truly want to be recognised like an expert, you've got to sound like one.
Before your client meeting, think of a movie character or a successful entrepreneur who inspires you. Mirror their voice, and imitate the volume, tone, speed, grammar, and even word usage.
Here are a couple more tips to get you using your voice with more confidence and impact:
- Avoid the "uptalk", "upswing", or "upspeak". When I say "upswing", I'm talking about the noticeable rise of your voice at the end of a statement. Making a statement sound more like a question. Instead, make a conscious effort to push your voice down at the end of your sentences using what I like to call, a "downswing".
- Avoid qualifiers or minimising language. Allow the importance of your thoughts and opinions to shine through and avoid using language such as "Maybe we should…" or "Perhaps we could…". Make your message stronger and use words with impact such as "I think…", "I believe…", or "I would like…".
If you manage to convince your potential client in the first 7 seconds that you're a business expert then they will look at you for the rest of the meeting and every contact you have with them from that time on like you're the 'go-to' person and the one they can trust.

I have two Chinchillas, Baxter and Basil. Baxter has his own instagram account, which sometimes features Basil, that you can follow here. This is the story of how they came to be in my life.
Ever since I can remember, I've wanted a chinchilla. The first time I encountered the uber soft little nuggets of fluff was when I was at a birthday party that featured an exotic animal display, which included a couple different reptiles, birds, and most importantly, A CHINCHILLA. I still remember being a mesmerized 6 year old, watching as the chinchilla took a dust bath in a fish bowl.
When I moved into my first apartment, I lived with two friends who owned a cat, so I had some pet action in my life. However, after we moved to different apartments, I was definitely left missing a furry, pawed creature. A chinchilla seemed like the best option for my lifestyle.
I bought my future chinchilla a GIANT cage. Seriously, like, a giant cage. It's easily 5 feet tall, and has four different stories. I threw in some huts, tubes, chew toys, a marble slab (chinchilla's like it coooold), some extra shelves, water and food dispensers, bedding, and a dust bath to recreate the scene from my 6 year old epiphany about how awesome chins were. (Chins meaning the abbreviated version of chinchillas, not the human body part at the base of the face.)
Baxter joined the family and took over the chinchilla mansion on November 17th, 2015. At first, he was very shy, and definitely not very interested in me. I slowly built rapport with him, feeding him dried cranberries out of my hand to try and get him used to me. After about a month or so, Baxter finally got to the point where he'd come over to the side of the cage when I walked in the room, and would let me scratch behind his ears on occasion.
Flash forward to a year later, and I decided I wanted to add another chin into the mix. I brought home Basil, a little baby chinchilla who was like half the size of Baxter. I started by keeping Basil in a separate cage that was right next to Baxter's, so that they could smell each other, talk to each other, and recognize each other's presence before meeting directly. After a few days, I brought Baxter and Basil together in the bathroom to meet each other in person. They were definitely a little cautious at first, but after about 10 minutes of sniffing, chasing, and interacting, Basil started to get a bit scared, so I separated the two back to their separate cages. I repeated this process every day or so, watching carefully and separating the chinchillas at the first sign of distress. After about two weeks, the two were getting along really well, happily playing. Baxter even began cleaning Basil, caring for him like his own little baby.
I knew Baxter would be territorial over his cage mansion, so I started by putting Baxter in Basil's cage, as Basil wasn't as territorial, having only lived in in for a few weeks. They got along really well at that point. After another few days, I combined them both into Baxter's cage, which was much bigger and where the two would ultimately live. It definitely took them both a little getting used to, but before I knew it they were playing, cuddling, cleaning each other, and getting along really well.
I think adding Basil to the family was a really cool thing. Baxter has definitely been happier and less stressed since Basil moved in, and it makes me feel better knowing that Baxter isn't alone all day and has a buddy to hang out with when no one is home.

This proposal describes a 3-year project by the American Psychiatric Institute for Research and Education to use medical informatics principles to enhance the development and dissemination of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of patients with major depressive disorder, an illness with significant public health consequences. Clinical practice guidelines developed and published by many medical specialty organizations, synthesize available evidence and recommend specific treatments or practices, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and quality of care. Clinicians may not use guidelines, however, if the contents are not up-to-date or if the guidelines are not easy to access and understand at the point of care within a busy clinical environment. Both problems are liabilities of guidelines developed using a traditional narrative information structure. Under this proposal, published research studies on the treatment of depression will be collected, evaluated, and organized within a relational database. Within the same database, modules of practice recommendations will next be developed each focused on a clinical question with potential impact on quality. Modules will also provide discussion and links to the supporting evidence. The clinical information needs of psychiatrists who treat patients with major depressive disorder will be evaluated using an established practice research network. Results will inform the design of a database-driven Web-based system with enhanced search functionality for publication of the guideline modules. The usability of the system will undergo iterative user testing and improvement. If successful, this development approach and the publication technology may be implemented for guidelines on other psychiatric disorders and may be replicated by other guideline developers, enhancing the translation of medical research into clinical practice.
Clinical practice guidelines can improve the quality of U.S. medical care by promoting best practices and by helping physicians stay current with medical advances. Guidelines are ineffective, however, if physicians never read them or if guideline developers cannot keep pace with rapid publication of new evidence. The aim of this proposal is to improve treatment of depression, a significant public health problem in the United States, by demonstrating the utility of a database-driven Web-based system for developing clinical practice guidelines and displaying them at the point of care.

As our Pets Get Older
by Dr. Ed Mapes
Stonebridge Animal Hospital
McKinney, Tx
A very good friend of mine is a plastic surgeon. Aging of his clients is the source of many of his procedures – face lifts, wrinkle treatments, liposuction, etc. Cosmetic problems of this nature aren't a problem for our pets, but they are susceptible to age-related problems nonetheless, and we as pet owners should be aware of these changes to avoid discomfort and disease that they bring. Just as the life expectancy of humans is steadily increasing, improvements in medical and surgical procedures, pharmaceuticals, and nutrition have allowed our pets to have longer life spans. The aging pet population makes geriatrics an important segment of Veterinary medicine as we recognize the senior animals' needs.
Normal aging processes produce numerous changes that are not pathologic and cause no physical problems. A reduced interest in vigorous activity, for example, can be a normal consequence. Likewise, lenses of the eyeball thicken as the animal grows older, producing a "milky' appearance that we call nuclear sclerosis. This is often mistaken for cataract, but in fact causes no change in the vision.
Many of the problems encountered are chronic and difficult to identify, since their onset takes place slowly and with few clinical symptoms. It's very common to discover a number of problems on older pets during routing examination – many of which the owner had not recognized. Depressed liver and kidney function, a number of eye problems, anemia, mild to severe dehydration, urinary bladder stones, prostate enlargement, and several important diseases relating to hormonal disorders are prime examples.
Hearing loss, decreased visual acuity, cognitive deficits, tumor growth, inability to cope with temperature extremes, loss of house training, and bad breath are problems more noticed by pet owners because they cause recognizable symptoms.
Sudden onset of severe itching can be seen in older animals that develop a food allergy. Rapid weight loss, excitability, and a ravenous appetite will appear in a cat with hyperthyroidism. Hair loss, depressed energy levels, and aversion to cooler temperatures are seen in dogs with hypothyroidism. An increase in the thirst, weight loss, decreases in appetite, vomiting and diarrhea can be seen in a number of diseases. These are symptoms that all pet owners should recognize and take note of because they accompany a wide range of problems: diabetes mellitus, renal or liver disorders, tumor growth, and the endocrine diseases called Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease all have the above symptoms in common. Increased thirst and urination are especially significant findings, and warrant a visit to the Veterinarian to make a diagnosis the cause.
Heart and lung disease can be especially sneaky – a mild cough and decreased exercise tolerance may be the only clues seen. We listen to the lungs and heart very carefully, and then do chest X-rays, EKG, and blood pressure sometimes to help elucidate problems. A variety of medications are available to treat heart and lung conditions; often enabling the pet to live a normal life.
Obesity is the foremost problem encountered by our pets – it was the subject of a three-part series of articles published a few months ago. Pets' metabolic rates usually decline with age (as with hypothyroidism that is common in elderly animals) and they burn calories much more slowly than in their younger days. Weight gain is the outcome for many. Carrying excess weight predisposes our pets to a variety of maladies; much the same as those seen by humans – diabetes, muscle and joint pain, decreased ability to exercise, and chronic diarrhea are good examples.
This could become a long article if each possible age-related disorder was described and discussed in any detail. Suffice it to say that pet owners should be aware that senior pets deserve special attention to prevent needless discomfort or suffering. My best recommendation is that they receive a complete veterinary examination at least yearly. This should include a blood profile, heartworm test, urinalysis, and fecal exam. Many pets should also have radiographs taken, blood pressure assessed, and other procedures when indicated.

|Weiss Winterprison/Shizuku Ashuu
|Japanese Name
亜柊 雫
|Romanized Name
|Vesu Wintāpurizun
Ashū Shizuku
Personal Information
Voice Actor(s)
Weiss Winterprison (ヴェス・ウィンタープリズン), also known by her real name Shizuku Ashuu (亜柊雫), is one of the main protagonists of Magical Girl Raising Project.
She is a powerful N-City Magical Girl, as well as Sister Nana's lover.
As a human, Shizuku Ashuu has short black hair and wears casual clothes.
Magical Girl
As a Magical Girl, Weiss Winterprison has short brown hair that covers her right eye (of which is gray). She also wears small black earrings.
She wears a long black scarf and a large jacket with many straps. She wears brown boots that go up to her knee.
Weiss is shown to be very calm around, loving toward, and accepting of, her lover Habutae Nana. It is said she is not very good at video games, as she herself stated so when Nana introduced her to the video game. While in Magical Girl form, she retains her calm nature and shows herself as very stoic as well, even around the other Magical Girls. However, she appears more laid-back in human form, and often reassures Nana if something troubling is on her lover's mind. She is extremely protective of her, even to the point she places herself in front of Nana as a shield if any harm comes her way. Either that or fighting whenever danger arises in order to keep Nana out of harm's way.
When fighting other Magical Girls, she fights very physically, and her magic even revolves around physically manifesting solid walls, used to either protect herself or Nana, or create a maze of walls to confuse her opponent and run away. However, this does not mean she isn't brave. In fact, the opposite is true, especially considering how much she will put herself in harm's way to see Sister Nana is safe. If the fight grows especially nasty, she grows very aggressive and ruthless. She has even gone to the point of disregarding injuries inflicted upon her, to see she wins and protects Nana.
To create walls of any form, depending on the terrain
Weiss Winterprison's magic allows her to create walls from the materials in the ground within her line of sight.
The wall is fixed with a height of 2 meters, the width of 1 meter, and thickness of 30 centimeters. However, Winterprison can also stack walls together to create larger or taller wall formations. She can also simultaneously create multiple walls.
The strength and material of the wall depend on the terrain that is being used. Additionally, the material will have an enhanced durability thanks to Winterprison's magic.
Sister Nana
A veteran N-City Magical Girl and Weiss Winterprison's lover. In real life, she is a sweet girl who lives with Winterprison. She was also the one who suggested Winterprison's Magical Girl name and gave her the scarf.
Cranberry, The Forest Musician
Hardgore Alice
Along with Sister Nana, Winterprison was assigned to be Hardgore Alice's mentor.

No Fault May Be SavedSeptember 18th, 2007 by Mike Vasilinda
No Fault Auto insurance, which pays up ten thousand dollars in medical bills, no matter who causes an accident, is slated to go away on October First. But as Mike Vasilinda tells us, pressure is building at the state capitol to try and save the 30 year old auto insurance program.
Hear it Here: No Fault May Be Saved
If No Fault goes away October first, Florida will be just one of three states to not require some form of mandatory auto insurance. As the deadline nears, editorial boards and consumer groups are putting pressure on at the capitol to do something….so for the first time, everyone involved is talking.
So far there have been two full days of negotiation, and the good news, according to those who have been in the room, is that nobody has gotten up and walked out in a huff..�yet. Ralph Glatfelter of the Hospital association has been fighting as hard as anyone to keep no fault. He is optimistic � �We�re having a lot of good discussion and agreement on some things..a lot of disagreement on other things. Whether this will all come together, I don�t know.� says Glatfelter.
On the other side, a consumer group funded in part by State Farm.
Allison North Jones of Floridians for Lower Insurance Costs thinks No Fault is done.
�As of right now, the two sides, and the House and Senate remain very far apart. House and Senate negotiators have not been in these meetings the governors office has held, and I think at this point I would still expect an October first sunset.� says North Jones.
Charlie Crist says If the talks keep progressing, he�ll add No Fault to the legislatures October special session
�You know,� says the Governor, �as we get closer, I�m certainly willing to add that to the call. I don�t know we�ll do that yet, or not.�
Everyone�s no fault coverage won�t expire on October first…But drivers should call their insurance agents now, so they know what to expect.

The Tate galleries often display art from around the world. Now, the arts institution is hoping to take its visitors on the road, as part of Tate Travels, a series of 14 trips related to the arts organized in partnership with the Ultimate Travel Company.
The first journey, in May, is a four-day trip to St. Ives, where the tour offers a private viewing of the summer exhibition at the Tate gallery there. (£895, $1,420 at $1.59 to the pound per person.) Among other trips: a visit to Paris and Champagne in September, accompanied by Tate's wine buyer and a Tate Modern curator who will visit lesser-known galleries in addition to famed museums like the Centre Pompidou, and a five-night stay next year in Berlin, where visits include various galleries and the Brandenburg Gate.
A goal beyond art is evident. "Every expert-led tour booked will benefit Tate financially, contributing vital funds to support our mission to increase public knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of British, modern and contemporary art," Alex Beard, its deputy director, said in a statement.

Article from the website openminds.tv.
An anonymous witness claiming to have seen thousands of files relating to "UFO/ET" projects while working at the Naval Telecommunication Center at NAS Moffett field in the late 80s, says he is going public because his secrecy agreement has expired and he would like the government to disclose what they know on about UFOs and aliens. As shocking as his claims are, a UFO researcher who formerly worked for the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD), says he has "no doubts about [the witness'] background."

Information architecture
The hardest part of making a website is turning a concept into an actual information structure. We write up a plan with primary navigation, secondary navigation and possibly tertiary navigation.
Site setup
Running a website can involve relationships with multiple vendors. We can set up your accounts and negotiate on your behalf to get things up and running.
Visual design
You need a great design and layouts that make your words and images appear at their best. We do this.
Site construction
We build your website. It will include a content management system (CMS) that you can use to edit your site, if desired.
A website that gets found. That is the holy grail. This is the province of writers and editors. Monomedia has these.

In a month's time, I designed and developed Attendable.co from scratch.
The project started with rough sketching and a roadmap to get a feel of the information architecture. Some features were "parked" on this stage, to add once the mvp is ready for a beta.
With a product roadmap going, some new requirements were added to the mvp, like attendees being able to remove themselves from an event.
Based on the early discoveries from phase 1 I got started with the initial designs.
With the rough designs ready I could share invision prototypes with friends and colleagues and gather initial feedback.
The initial working prototype based on the designs was developed in Ruby on Rails. A landing page was set up on Heroku to gather leads and direct visitors before the beta was ready to go.
With the alpha version of the app working, some UX inconsistencies were uncovered. Most of them were minor enough to fix after the mvp had shipped, but a few required a reorganization of the app's architecture.
The new designs fixed the major problems and added some more context and a better design for subsections. This was also a good opportunity to lock up current features, and move new ones to a "todo" list, to be developed after the mvp went live.

How to output string from Python script in a workflow on the editor
I'm new to Editorial and I'm new to Python.
I created a new workflow with only one action, a custom Python script.
I want the script to output text on the editor, so I called
workflow.set_output(output_string), but nothing shows up in the editor. Although, calling
print(output_string)will output the string I want in the console.
Is there something I'm missing?
Adding a Replace Selected Text action after the custom Python script solved my problem. If no text is selected, the output I wish to add in my editor is inserted at the position of the cursor.
A Replace Selected Text action is the easiest way to do this. If you need more fine-grained control, you can use the
replace_textfunction in the
editormodule to insert text directly from Python.
workflow.set_output() sends whatever is inside of the parenthesis to the next action. That is why you have to use "Replace selected text" as the following action. You have to make the output of "Replace Selected text" the Input of the action above it (Using variables)
Here is an example:
Edit: oops, I see you figured it out. One thing I did was change the name of the Replace Selected Text action to "Output to Editor" and saved that as a preset. It is easier to remember what the action does.
