Right now it's really up to the blues to do something with our information.

What I believe is that the hunter didn't kill because he didn't want to risk killing a townsperson. It is highly unlikely that the SS didn't kill unless he was roleblocked. That's a likely possibility, but not the only one. We just need to be careful and try to eliminate the Soul Salesman sooner ra...
I'd technically argue that it may have been a good thing that we didn't lynch anyone on the first day, because the chances of lynching an innocent townie would be greater than getting a Mafia, especially if one of the Mafia (or the miller) has already died and a lack of leads. Probably would've cont...
As a word of caution, basing who is Mafia on inactivity alone will be very dangerous this game, because there's a chance "inactive" people have actually been silenced by the Ice Spirit. Of course, I wasn't, since I just posted, but think about it. Also remember that people have lives outside the gam...

Public transport and the need for sustainability
I have spoken before that I have a declared interest in this area. This has come to light in the last couple of months in stark relief. As I am not entitled to drive for medical reasons, the Scottish Government is kind enough to pay for a bus pass for me to travel at no cost. It recently expired however, and there was a problem getting a replacement, meaning that my free travel was suspended for a month. It personally brought home to me what a scandal the pricing of public transport is in this country. This got me to thinking about how we can possibly persuade the public at large to use public transport, thus reducing car use and having somI then started digging into archives of the last days of the trams in Aberdeen city. I have mentioned before what a scandal it was that the trams were abandoned in the name of ‘progress’. Trams were not deemed flexible enough to cope with transport demands, and so the diesel bus was introduced. The tracks were taken up, overhead power lines were taken down, all but two of the trams were placed on a massive bonfire despite huge public protests. (The last two survive as museum artefacts.) This must take the wooden spoon as one of the most short-sighted planning foul-ups imaginable, however with the right political will, the damage is not irreversible; it can be put right.
At the start of the COVID-19 crisis, when the lockdown was introduced, those of us dependent on public transport suffered the additional disruption caused by bus timetables being scaled back to a skeleton service; at some times of the day this meant waiting an hour for a bus. Even when it comes, the cost of travel (whether by bus or rail) is outrageous. First Group, owner of First Bus, one of the two local service providers, is losing money at an alarming rate[1]. Currently, Aberdeen City Council is in talks with the company over plans for a municipal buy-out. This is an idea whose time has come, or rather, whose time has returned. Bus deregulation in the 1980s has singularly failed. The idea behind it was to introduce competition thereby reducing fares and giving passengers more choice. In fact, five companies carry 70% of all passengers yet only 1% of services face any competition. Non-profitable lines have been cut and fares increased massively; we have ended up paying more for less.
So the benefits of public ownership cannot be overstated. What is also required is massive investment in trolleybuses like this one in Zurich, Switzerland. They are in service in other cities all over the world, as so clearly illustrated at this Tbus News link: http://www.tbus.org.uk/news.htm so what are we waiting for? They have all the advantages of trams, and none of the disadvantages of either the tram or the diesel bus. They have the flexibility of the bus, but carry on on-board fuel, which not only means no CO2 production, but also no noise, making the journey much more pleasant. What’s not to like? It all comes down to investment priorities. It is only with massive investment that people can be persuaded out of their cars. And who can blame them?
An alternative, or even an ambitious addition, would be to reintroduce a tram service. It could be argued that our streets are simply too narrow; certainly, the main thoroughfare in Aberdeen, Union Street, at 21 metres wide, does not leave a huge amount of room to play with. However, it all comes down to priorities. As can be seen in this picture here, the tram can get through even the narrowest of streets, such as this one in the
centre of Freiburg(which we desperately need to do) then a fundamental resetting of priorities and mindsets is required, and central to that is a complete rethink of mobility in our daily lives.

Countries should look at the modernisation of their health sectors as an opportunity to generate economic stimulus. Stephen Rohleder is group CEO of Accenture’s Health & Public Services operating group.
Around the world, for example, electronic medical records are in different stages of development. Countries are increasingly focusing on connected health, an area that covers everything from keeping electronic medical records to the sharing of those records across the system, as well as how medical professionals use that data in tandem with business analytics to understand the impact of cost and quality of healthcare.
What countries are leading the charge and what could Ireland learn from them?
It is interesting to note how countries are looking at how they treat their own citizens, as well as the fact that they are treating tourists and visitors in a much more competitive way.
If you look at stimulus in the top nine countries worldwide, some $2trn has been pumped into economic stimulus, but at the same time revenue collection has dropped 38pc.
Ireland is a good example of a country taking the hard stand on its deficit and is showing other countries what they are going to have to dothis journey, but the public service is just entering into this. The thing that they are going to have to do is alter spending and grow their market – exactly what governments will be doing over the next 16 months.
I envisage massive transformation agendas taking shape across the world’s healthcare systems and see business trends like shared services, reform of back-office technology, and a ruthless focus on driving efficient operations.

Many consider that addressing the misinformation spread by organisations such as the Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network is a good starting point – but who are they really?
"Climate change could be the great disrupter of our age and threatens to reverse major health advancements," they write."It is projected to increase the risk of under-nutrition in poor regions due to decreased food production, with estimates of up to 25 million more underweight children by 2050 compared with a future without climate change."

He said there needs to be better ways found for communication among the different agencies.
Its trying to find the right combination and right solution to fit our needs, Simmons said.
The Operations Center, which is where the Board of Island County Commissioners hold their regular meetings, was filled with representatives from agencies ranging from the Washington State Patrol to the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. They worked on folding tables and old telephones.
The scenario began at approximately 2 p.m. Thats when a call came in saying a tanker truck exploded on Highway 525 between Race Road and Houston Road. That is an area where there is no alternative route to divert traffic. A bomb, placed by a terrorist group, caused the explosion.
One of the real hazards in Island County is that we have fuel that arrives in trucks, Simmons said.
He said having the accident at that location forced participants to deal with how to transport victims, who were located south of the accident, to the hospital located north of the accident.
In all, it took several hours for the participants to complete the scenario.
Simmons said he is talking with agencies involved in the exercise to learn what could have been done better. He hopes to have a report prepared in about a month.
Island Countys Emergency Operations Center activates whenever an incident is too big for first responders to handle and help is needed from outside agencies.
Simmons said Island County is fortunate because it doesnt have such risks as pipelines, rivers and fuel refineries that could cause a major r December 3rd, 2009

To reduce the size of the dataset, the data have been aggregated by the cross-classification of risk factors and outcome with a count indicating the frequency of each combination. This reduces the dataset to 280,660 records. The variables in the ASCII dataset "risk.txt" are described in the table.
To create a deidentified public use dataset, it is necessary to protect the confidentiality of the women, the radiology facilities, and the mammography registries. It is also necessary to protect current research in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium. For these reasons, the data are limited to the variables below. Notably, the data do not include any dates, origin of the data, patient identifiers, nor the assessment (outcome) of the index screening mammogram.
Covariates (1, 2, 4-9, 11, 12 below) are based on self-report at time of the index mammogram. Breast density (3) is judged by the radiologist from the screening mammogram and result of the last mammogram (10) prior to the index mammogram is based on recorded data.
These data were recorded in the period 1996-2002. There has been a recent change in the BI-RADS breast density definition that may lead to greater use of the more extreme values (1 and 4).
Post-menopausal includes all women who report their periods have stopped permanently, or who are on hormone replacement, or who are age 55 or greater. Women under age 45 who report they are post-menopausal are excluded from the dataset.
Pre-menopausal women are women under age 55 who report their periods have not stopped permanently. Unknown menopausal status includes women 35-54 for whom menopausal information was unknown.
The data contains a variable (15) indicating whether an observation was in the training data (75% random sample) or the validation data (remaining 25%). If using the entire dataset this variable may be ignored.
If there was a positive family history in the first degree relatives, but the number of relatives with breast cancer could not be determined, it was coded as "1".
The count variable (16) must be used to obtain correct estimates.
While we believe the data to be both correct and reliable, there is always the possibility of error in the collection of such diverse data. The data in the mammography registries are updated annually. However, this dataset is static and there is no plan to update this data.

, while illegally placed enemies stepped up behind them and severed their necks. True, a group of about twenty monks were crowded together in the doorway of a janitor's hut and were standing shoulder to shoulder, their drawn swords forming an impenetrable fence; but the raiders were standing off fifteen yards or so and pelting them with bricks from a pile left over from some minor building works. Poldarn watched, fascinated; for the first dozen seconds or so, the monks managed to bat the bricks out of the air with their swords (those lovingly nursed cutting edges, sharpened with a steel instead of a stone and lightly anointed with camellia oil every night and every morning), but then there was one brick too many, and it cracked a monk just about the right eyebrow and he grunted and folded up; one gap compromised the wall, and five seconds later the raiders rushed in to chop up the fallen. They're overwhelming the monks, Poldarn thought, just as they overwhelmed me. They don't fight, they simply prevail. Like gods.
A monk came running straight at him. He recognised him: Torcuat, who'd presided over his defeat and humiliation, back when he'd tried to escape. Torcuat's face was distorted into a mask of sheer hatred; it was the masterpiece of a great artist who'd spend his entire life trying to paint the pure essence of an emotion. His sword was drawn and he was holding it in both hands over his head as he ran. Poldarn turned to face him and flipped the backsabre over the back of his hand – showing off, and he didn't know why, it had just happened – and just as the monk edged against the outer limit of his circle, like a runner breasting the finishing rope, he stuck out his hand with the sabre in it, a very short, mundane little movement, the sort of thing a novice would do from pure instinct on his first day in the schools. Torcuat's momentum drove the broad point deep into his stomach until it jarred against bone, whereupon the shock of contact shot up Poldarn's arm to his elbow, making him let go. Torcuat fell forward on to the sabre hilt, and as he landed, the sword-point burst through his back like a crocus.
_I didn't do anything, really_ , Poldarn thought, as he rolled the dead monk on to his side with his boot. He had to stand on Torcuat's chest to get enough purchase to haul the sword out again (but he couldn't just abandon it, it didn't belong to him). _I suppose that counts as revenge, but I wasn't really all that fussed. I didn't blame him, personally._
'Nicely,' said the voice behind his shoulder. 'These freaks, they think they know it all, but when it comes to a real fight, they haven't got a clue.'
Poldarn straightened his back. 'No,' he said, 'they haven't.'
'Goes to show,' the voice went on. 'If you'd been one of them, I expect you'd have tried to have a fencing match. But you sorted him out just like I'd have done, so I guess you're one of us after all. So that's all right.'
'Good,' Poldarn said. Part of him seemed to mean it.
'Right,' the voice went on, 'now that I've seen you kill one of 'em, not much point in me hanging round you any more. You carry on, and have a good time. Any idea where they keep the small, valuable stuff?'
Poldarn thought for a moment. 'You could try the abbot's lodgings,' he said. 'I saw some nice inkwells and candlesticks and small silver lamps.'
'Sounds good to me,' the voice said, and someone brushed past Poldarn's left shoulder. He got a glimpse of the man's back as he strode away.
This, then, was the good bit. Judging by the number of bodies scattered round the main yard, most of the monks must already be dead; certainly, their numbers had to have fallen below the critical point where they could no longer mount any kind of meaningful resistance. Poldarn guessed that there would now be a short interval for looting, after which they'd burn the place down and be on their way – down the hill into the town, maybe, or perhaps their schedule wouldn't allow it. Over at the coach-house, they were backing out carts ready to be loaded up with good things (harvest festival, bringing home the fruits of hard work and divine favour). And for his own part, he was on his own, with nobody watching. Copis, he thought.
Of course, he had no way of knowing whether she was still alive, or still in the abbey, let alone where to find her, but instinct had served him well this far, and he had nothing else to do. If she was still alive, chances were she'd be in whatever the monks used as a prison or dungeon. From what he'd seen of the order, he figured it was a safe bet they had something of the sort.
A live monk would be able to tell him where to find the dungeons, but there didn't seem to be any of them left. Poldarn looked round, wishing he knew what a dungeon looked like, and suddenly felt an urge to try a small door at the back of what he'd assumed was some kind of store, because it only had two small, barred windows high up in the wall. _Divine intuition,_ he muttered to himself, and walked quickly across the yard, stepping over the dead where necessary.
The door was open. There was a monk in the small outer room; hboth hands pressed to his stomach. When he tried to stand up, his knees buckled and he flopped down on his face. Poldarn put a foot on the back of his neck and stabbed him once through the ear, after which he stopped moving. Then he frowned and flipped the backsabre over a couple of times, wondering if there was something familiar about the monk's face. Probably just his imagination.
_Whoever I used to be, I know who I am now, and that's all that matters._
He liked the sound of that; it was simple, and positive. He saw another door in front of him, and kicked it open.
It wasn't a dungeon, it was a store. The wall opposite the door was covered from floor to ceiling with shelves, lined with thousands of neatly folded blankets. Against the wall to the right there stood five enormous wooden bins, heaped almost to overflow point with charcoal. To his left was a large pile of kindling, tied up in small bundles, enough to light one regulation fire. Standing in front of the kindling was Copis, and she was holding a sword in both hands.
'Stay away from me,' she said. 'Or I'll kill you.'
Poldarn hadn't been expecting that. 'Copis, it's me,' he said. 'I've come to rescue you,' he added, feeling extremely foolish.
'Go away,' she said, then her face relaxed just a little. 'You bloody fool, haven't you worked it out yet?'
'Then you're even more stupid than you look,' she snapped. She looked embarrassed, as if he'd caught her stealing from the cashbox. 'You don't still think we came here by accident, do you?'
'Accident,' he repeated. 'What are you talking about?'
She sighed, as if he was a small child being deliberately obtuse. 'I brought you here,' she said. 'You still don't get it? I'm your _keeper_.'
She wasn't making any sense. No, he didn't want what she'd just said to make sense. 'You knew?' he asked.
'All right.' She lowered the sword, but he recognised the position of the blade as a hidden guard. 'I'll spell it out for you, shall I? I serve the order. Do you want me to go on?'
Copis scowled. 'If you insist,' she said. 'I was assigned to you. Mostly just to keep an eye on what you were doing and report back, but if necessary I'd be there to protect you from being assassinated, or kill you myself if that's what they wanted me to do. When your

Silly owner cat beanie
So, Freddie has become my new model. I bought a special can of treats for him that he gets only when sporting his new hat.
He's so funny! Soon as he sees me get the hat out, he sits still so I can put it on him. Then, he gets a treat! It also helps that he gets to come inside when wearing the hat. I can't take any chances that he'll run off with my precious hat. Lol.
How to cut your netting strips with rotary cutter for crocheting pot scrubbers
I found that using my clear cutting square, that I was able to get more strips per yard than just cutting it by hand. There are many different brands of clear cutting squares, rectangles and rulers out there. I chose this brand, Creative Grids because it's made in the USA.
That's it! It was so easy. There are other ways of cutting these strips. One reader shared an idea. Her husband made her a wooden board with grooves cut out of her desired width. Then, she just lays the netting down and cuts along the grooves.
Legacy of clean
I got my new bottle of Legacy of Clean soft cleanser today. I was so excited to clean my sink and tub with it. It's not everyday I'm excited to clean! Lol.
It has some nice scrubbing power to it. It cleaned my sink nicely. Tomorrow I will clean the tub.
So far I have been impressed with the cleaners I've tried from this company. But my favorite dish soap is now Lemon Brite from Melaleuca. While I still like the Dish Drops, I prefer the Lemon Brite in the winter time.
The dish soap from Melaleuca I buy from a friend. I don't know if she is a rep for them, but I would like to know more about that company sometime.
Speaking of Legacy of Clean I have only used two spray bottles worth of tbe cleanser I bought a few months ago. You cannot even tell any is missing. It comes SUPER concentrated. Just 2 teaspoons per spray bottle! It will likely last me a year or longer. I can't remember how much it was.
Finished grandma's favorite dishcloth
My friend said she didn't care what sizes they were so I left it that way, but I have to say it bothered me to do so! So I knit her up two bonus Christmas colored cloths to make up for it and sent her two soap savers.
The blue dishcloths and the Christmas ones were knit until I reached 50 stitches and they came out to a perfect 8 inches. One of the blue ones is actually a combination of two variegated colors. It turned out to be my favorite out of them all.
All in all I was pleased with how they turned out. I mailed them out today. When I went to mail them, they weighed 11 ounces and I was sure that it was going to cost $7-8 to mail since they felt so heavy, but it was only $3 ish. That surprised me, not that I'm complaining!
How to sew a tissue holder with pictures tutorial! </s> PERSONALITY TRAITS, IDEALS, BONDS, FLAWS
Hail and well met, nerds! It’s been a while since the last installment of Dungeons & Dragons Character building, which means you should almost have a complete character! Yes, that’s mostly a joke. Today we’ll cover the final necessary bits of the character sheet: Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws.
There are two methods for discovering these final four factors about your beloved character:
1.) Refer to your chosen Background, which we discussed here, and found on pg. 118 of the Handbook.
2.) Make up your own!
On your chosen Background’s page in the handbook, you will find four lists for these four different qualities. If you want to really shape your character and stay in complete control, choose your favorites from each list to represent them. If you want to be old school, grab the appropriate

The 41-year-old Bradley, who totaled more than 2,400 points and 1,000 rebounds during his outstanding career at Burncoat High, playKentucky, earned All-America honors at Villanova, and was a first-round NBA draft pick of the Toronto Raptors, exudes happiness.
The girls are fluent in Spanish. They have seen poverty in the highest form in the Philippines, Bradley said, and shared meals with homeless Balinese children. They experienced Vietnam for a month, Thailand for six weeks. In some countries, the Bradleys have exchanged work for accommodations.
All three of the Bradleys’ daughters are certified scuba divers. Art, horseback riding and the environment are also interests. Taylor has started a nonprofit to remove microplastics from the beach.
None of the girls has taken up basketball.
During his five-year NBA career, Bradley, who was the 17th overall pick in 2001, played for the Raptors, Hawks, Magic, Kings and 76ers. He played three years overseas and retired from playing professionally in 2008.
He ran his own sports agency for two years and helped place 12 players in Europe. From 2010-14, Bradley coached the boys’ varsity basketball team at Summit Country Day School in Cincinnati and guided the squad to a state championship. For one season (2015-16), he was the associate head coach at Eastern Kentucky University.
“I realized the NCAA coaching world was not for me,” Bradley said.
As a senior at Burncoat, the 6-foot-10 Bradley averaged 35.6 points and 11.6 rebounds to lead the Patriots to the 1997 Division 1 state final. He began his collegiate career at Kentucky, where he was recruited by Rick Pitino. Bradley, though, never played for Pitino, who departed Kentucky in May 1997 to become coach of the Boston Celtics.
Bradley averaged 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds off the bench in 1997-98, when Kentucky won the national title. Bradley started all 37 games the next season and averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 22 minutes.
At Villanova in 2000-01, he averaged 20.8 points and 9.8 rebounds, led the nation in field goal percentage (69.2), and was a finalist Draft.
Dave and Patricia, as well as Dave Jr., have relocated to Florida, but Bradley still visits his hometown every other year. He was most recently in Worcester last summer. He met up with his closest childhood friend, Doug Cooney, and some Burncoat teammates, shot hoops with his kids at the playground at Thorndyke Road School, his elementary school alma mater, and drove by his family’s old house.
Bradley doesn’t get back to Villanova often, but is part of a strong basketball alumni network there and talks to Wildcats coach Jay Wright on a regular basis.
Of all the places the Bradleys have visited, they felt a special connection to where they are now in Costa Rica.
The Bradleys adopted Kya from Ethiopia at 8 months old.
Bradley said coronavirus cases have been minimal in the country and especially his town.
Bradley hasn’t watched much of the NBA playoffs, but is following along to see who advances.

Our favourite celebrities just made Halloween far more funkier than it used to be.
Although these festivities used to be grimmer if not revered, in the old days, a lot has changed in the 21st century and trust celebrities to make the best of it.
In fact, the festivities which used to be for one day in October has now turned into a month long affair.
Over the years, celebrities have outdone themselves with myriad costumes inspired by everyday people and things and this year is no different.
The Carter's stole our hearts, showing up as black Barbie (Beyonce and Blue Ivy) and Ken Doll (Jay Z). Jidenna returned The Game's favour and turned up as the rapper, nailing it to a T.
You would recall that The Game dressed as Jidenna for Halloween in 2015.
Kourtney Kardashian and her troop turned up as the avengers and power rangers (Some celebrities rocked more than one costume), while Khloe Kardashian and her man, Tristan Thompson turned up as Storm and Black Panther.
The list is simply endless so we will let the pictures do the talking.

Castles, Kings and Countryside of Great Britain
Perhapy. The creator, Julian Fellowes managed to capture our enthusiasmeven the most precise of details. The very first time I watched it I was obsessed. For those of you who don’t follow the series, Downton was a historical, true to life drama filmed at Highclere Castle, a country house located in the English town of Newbury in Berkshire.
I remember eagerly anticipating Sunday nights for the newest show, and as they are now playing repeats I get to watch them all over again with equally as much joy. There are so many reasons to love "Downton Abbey"—the historical details, the costumes and the interesting characters. It was a series that brought the past to the present, so that viewers could get a taste of the early 1900s. But what we loved so much about it was the fact that although the people were from the past, they were relatable to today. The storylines seemed to ring true with so many situations that even I personally have faced and as viewers we could all relate to at least one of the family members or storylines. The history of the series also mimicked the real life history of the Castle in which it was filmed and I think many of the facts in the show were written by the creator Julian Fellows,( a friend of the owners) to reflect real events.
As the filming of the show had ended and not wanting to loose it altogether I decided to take a small group of Downton Abbey Fans on a pilgrimage to the Castle where the show was filmed.
Highclere Castle sits on an estate that totals 6,000 acres. The castle covers 30,000 square feet and has a total of 300 rooms, with approximately 61 of these being bedrooms on the upper floors. Approximately 50 of those rooms were uninhabitable as of 2009. Now with the money from filming, along with the many visitors to the castle they have been able to considerably improve it and restore it to its former glory. Highclere has been home to several generations of the Carnarvon Family and is rich in its own history and family drama.
It's a bit of an invasion, she said. “The thick wires and cables snaking everywhere, the cameras, the trollies, the white vans obscuring the drives and the dust that collects as a result.” Her advice to anyone who’s thinking of letting their own home become an onscreen one? “Have a good sense of humour!”
In the first world war and in similarity to the TV show Lady Almina, the Fifth Countess of Carnarvon, willingly opened her home to the injured. What’s more, she offered her services as a nurse and became quite skilled. The house still has many of the letters on display from soldiers and their parents thanking her for her hospitality. Of course if you are a fan of the TV show you may recall that Lord Grantham wasn’t too pleased at opening their home to wounded soldiers and put up quite a fuss.
During World War II, Highclere Castle also became a home for evacuated children who had been shipped out to the countryside from blitz-weary London.
Another true and interesting fact is that The Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, George Herbert, was one of the explorers to uncover King Tut’s tomb with Howard Carter in 1922. The Earl brought back a number of artifacts with him to Highclere. He died less than a year after the discovery after accidentally shaving an infected mosquito bite. His death led to the rumour of “The Mummy’s Curse” for opening the tomb and disturbing Tut’s rest. His poor dog also died at the same moment he did.
You would never think that in the basement of this stately mansion would sit these kind of artifacts from King Tuts Tomb.
Our trip was not only visiting Highclere castle but included many of the Royal Castles and places associated with the British Monarchy such as the wonderfulhich are both free to enter and even Windsor Castle which was the recent setting for the marriage of Harry and Meghan.
I had looked forward to seeing Highclere Castle the most so when we pulled up at the gates I was so excited I asked the driver just to stop briefly so we could get some great pictures. At the time we are taking lots of quick photos we heard a Beep Beep from a car. I looked behind the bus and there was a minivan trying to get past us.
I didn’t pay too much attention as I knew we wouldn’t be long and thought to myself, oh let them wait just a minute … hmmm that was a bad bad idea as it turned out to be the Earl himself sitting in the back and whom we were joining for a cocktail party that evening… ooops,
Later that evening we arrived for a champagne cocktail reception and luckily the Earl had forgiven me the intrusion earlier and greeted us warmly. He’s quite shy but did make a speech to welcome everyone and then the Lady Fiona personally took us on a tour.
The interior is incredible. I love everything from the Great Hall to the kitchen downstairs. Not all of the filming is done at Highclere but the main upstairs scenes and of course the iconic exterior is the same.
Highclere is just one of the many movie or TV sets that you can visit in the UK. Including Edinburgh where Outlander is filmed and Devon where Doc Martin is filmed in the beautiful coastal village.
The best time to visit England is in either in the spring or early fall to get the best possible chance of reasonable weather and fewer crowds.
Our Dollar isn’t too bad against the Pond just now so it will not feel to astronomically expensive is it has in the past.
We will be visiting the Castles and Royal sights again in the future as there is so much to see.

Recent astronomical observations (since 2014) are showing “strange” synchronized galaxies movements and “abnormal” alignments of supermassive black holes at the core of quasars. This discovery indicates that large-scale structures in the universe are influencing the dynamics of galaxies and supermassive black holes, even when they are separated by billion light years. It looks as if they are connected by a vast unseen force. There is currently no scientific explanation and this observed behavior may jeopardize the current basic assumption about the physical universe model (the cosmological principle). More observations are required before drawing any conclusion.

Up until a few days ago, it was widely expected that former Service NL minister Perry Trimper would get the job, but Harbour Grace-Port de Grave MHA Pam Parsons is challenging Trimper for the role.
“You know, we’re recognizing Canada 150 this year. We’ve just recognized over 100 years since Beaumont Hamel,” she said Monday. “Those Newfoundlanders went overseas and they sacrificed their lives and their personal lives and love for this very right, and I think it is my democratic responsibility to put myself forward.”
“I don’t need to win to be a good example. I just have to go for it,” she said. “And, you know, if I can be a good support system for young women, and women of all ages, of course, in my district, in our province and in our country, then you know what? That’s a win, in and of itself.”
“It will be costly for the House to reconvene for this half-hour session,” Davis said. “In order to get better value for the public money this will cost, the government should allow the House to remain open for more than that half-hour so that pressing questions can be asked of the premier and his ministers.”

With all the planning that we do
we stand nowhere unless we are able to execute it.
Digital Brand Identity of an entity reflects its image over the internet and facilitates its viewers by making use of technology.
The entity could be anything like an organization, business, person or just an idea. It might have a huge physical presence or it could be a thought or a digital entity.
Regardless of its type, the purpose of establishing a strong Digital Identity is to ensure that its viewers get multiple reasons to give it a preference over digital identities of its competitors. Our digital identity starts playing its role right from the first contact with its viewers and keeps on playing its part throughout the journey of interaction. As internet users always have a lot of options available and they can easily move from one digital entity to another, retaining the visitors is a demanding task. Different visitors have different purposes of interacting with us, it's our job to keep it simple for all types of visitors by providing them a great experience and facilitating them in getting their purpose served.
In the process of Digital Identity Representation, a strong Digital Representation over important digital platforms,relevant portals and marketplaces is developed while keeping in view the available resources and constraints.
Efforts are made to show the best possible image of an entity to the viewers and provide relevant details including various types of data and resources.
Whenever someone is browsing through our Digital Identity, unlike a physical interaction we do not have any option to ask them what they need and provide them the solutions. Everything has to be done through our digital profile. In order to provide answers to all types of queries, we have to put in as much information. But, our viewers cannot be bombarded with a lot of data at once and we should never make things complex for our users. Everything has to be well organized in the form of categories and subcategories.
How to develop a strong Digital Brand Identity:
Here are some of the practices that can be used for developing a strong Digital Brand Identity.
the type of profile
private and public information:
agenda for updates
We have to keep our Digital Identity up to date. Whenever there is something important we have to keep updating our profile accordingly. It is very important that we define a mechanism with a criterias of how we are going to make the updates. Where we define how a specific type of activity is going to be reflected at each of the platforms so that the same image is reflected throughout our Digital profile. All achievements matter whether big or small. But, while sharing an achievement it should be highlighted as per its importance. Sharing all our little achievements should never obscure our major key differentiators.
facilitation:
While talking about growth we should always take good care of those who get associated with us. Based on the nature of our entity, they can be our clients, employees or users of our entity. Our aim should be to provide them reasons to be a part of our Digital Identity while keeping our approach towards maximum facilitation. We can do this by making good use of technology and providing them quality content, based on how they are connected with us.
Develop your digital brand identity THE WAY IT MATTERS
Digital Brand Identity can easily be improved even without any extra efforts, we just need to define a direction

It's been fifteen (or probably more) years since you gave my family the biggest problem we never dreamed would happen. At a very young age, I never had any idea of what you did as my parents even gave their fullest trust in you. The millennium turned to a close (we're actually about to start a new decade next year!
I can't learn to forgive you, seriously. Probably I won't, or I don't want to. Every time I hear your name, my blood froths in boiling anger. I honestly think this is unhealthy, as it's supposed to be my parents who should be angry at you. (They always tell me, "at least we are all very healthy!

Saskatchewan School System Embraces Newcomers
Between 2005 and 2010, approximately 9,000 immigrant children have entered the province’s elementary and secondary schools. Though officials are happy to welcome them, they have had to face many challenges in integrating the group – problem facing the school boards is the lack of information available to schools on who they should expect to enrol each year, which ties back to the concerns on allocating staff. Workersare coordinating efforts with the government, as well as local universities to try to find the teachers needed to assist the new arrivals. The province is also involved with creating and maintaining an online resource centre for EAL teachers.
Furthermore, the newcomer student centre began operating last August, and is located on-site of the public school board building. The centre provides transition services including schoregistration and assessment services.

Raj brandston eliminated from Hell’s Kitchen
On Wednesday night, 49-year-old individual cook, Raj Brandston was eliminated from third episode of the “Hell’s Kitchen” season eight. Brandston of Queens, N.Y. was shocked when Gordon Ramsay asked him to leave the show. He was not happy about the decision of Gordon Ramsay.
In the season 8 of Hell’s Kitchen, all participates will be divided into separate teams of men and women. On third episode, each team had to make breakfast for the hungry EMTs and even though the menu was simple, there were many bloopers made in the process by the men’s team. They forgot the pineapple in their fruit salad. Boris couldn’t handle the omelets. Raj didn’t remember to season his eggs. It was absolutely awful. They were drowning in the kitchen while the EMTs in the dining room booed them. The main reason the men fell apart was because no one was leading. They were all doing their own thing with no sense that their piece was part of a dish.
Other side, the winning team of women had completed their service before the men put out one entrée. They had happy people in their half of the dining room. The women were asked to step in and save the men from their own mess to make matters even more embarrassing for the men. At the end of the challenge, the women’s team won and the reward was given to them in the form of a luxury meal by the side of the pool and trapeze lessons. And men’s team had to clean the kitchen.
During dinner service, Raj was an absolute mess in the kitchen. There were numerous causes to eliminate him throughout that service, and he was fortunate to see the removal ceremony. Head chef Gordon Ramsay said Raj was not up to par, and he couldn’t stay being close to Raj in the kitchen 1 more second. The challenge was not so hard for Raj. Trev said that it was Raj who brought them down and he had to go home or the team would keep faltering after the challenge. When he lashed out, these feelings were definitely in the forefront of his mind at Raj during the punishment. Raj felt Trev was causing the trouble, but the other men were backing Trev up. If Trev hadn’t taken some cheap shots about Raj’s weight, the argument might have been a bit sounder, but he did have a few good points planted in all that screaming and profanity.
The dinner service didn’t start so well by women though the challenge may have gone well. Emily or Jillian had trouble salting the pasta. Ramsay just yelled at both of them because they both blamed it on each other. Emily said it tasted fine, but Jillian felt it was just one more thing the team couldn’t trust Emily to do. Emily gave the team even more reasons to want her gone when she failed to deliver a dish she had promised to help with. At least Emily didn’t fall asleep while her beef was on fire, though, but Gail did redeem herself later, so I guess she can have one free pass.
Ramsay felt the service was so poor that he let the customer comment cards determine the winner. The women were the losers, and they decided Emily and Sabrina, although their nominations didn’t matter in the end.

He had half a mind to set her robes on fire, but then Bex would probably find out and give him detention or something. That was the downside of having a prefect for a sister - not like she was great at abiding the rules herself, though. As it were, he decided that burning a younger student would not do well to soften the reputation he had of being an anger prone pyromaniac. Probably best to just walk away.
He made his way back to the Common Room, his wand drawn and spinning restlessly in his left hand. The people who'd been sitting nearby gave him an odd look as he set aflame the tip of his wand with the muttering of a spell, and ultimately decided to move. This earned a small smile, for the solitude was exactly what he had wanted. Now, if everyone could just leave him alone he'd have a much better evening than morning.
The chairs surrounding the fire place were largely empty, which was curious, considering how damn cold it was. But then Cora noticed Bellamy sitting in one of the arm chairs. Well, that explained it then. But he was only one person, and however unwelcoming, it was better than sitting around a collection of people, so she went to sit in one of the chairs.
So maybe people were scared of Bellamy, Cora really did not care. She was hardly at any more risk from him than she was from the rest of her housemates. She could hold her own if it came to it. He glared, and he threatened fire, but honestly, Cora had dealt with worse. There was worse to come in the Christmas break before them.
Cora seemed unmoved by his glaring, which really didn't surprise him. It only worked on the weak-willed, and, to his knowledge, Cora didn't seem to be one of those kind.
He either didn't know a lot about what he was actually doing, or he was just not really about having a conversation about it. Or neither. Or both. Cora couldn't really tell. Her eyes flickered back to the flame as it changed colour again. "It would seem so, yes," she agreed, lip quirking a little bit. She liked this type of magic, things that couldn't be done without magic. There was so much magic that just felt pointless, things that could be easily done through muggle means.
He wasn't one much for conversation. This seemed to bother people. It especially seemed to bother Rebekah, who was constantly trying to pull unnecessary conversation out of him. Luckily, the lack of words didn't much seem to bother Cora, for which he was glad.
He didn't really feel like being around anyone who would want to push conversation right now. He watched as she said the spell herself, smiling a little more at the flames dancing in front of him. He thought she made it look easier.
"I don't get to share the spells I find out with many people." He said, stating the truth. Not many took the time of day to even try to hold conversation, even if he had wanted to. Partially, the comment as meant to mean he didn't mind talking to her, but he was kind of unsure if she'd pick up that subtext.
It seemed to be the erratic, obvious spells that he was a sucker for. He liked to be able to see exactly what kind of impact he was having on an object in a big sort of way. He also always seemed to have a penchant for the fire spells, but fire had been something he'd been obsessed with long before magic had come into his life. Even as a younger child, he'd been known to experiment with matches and lighters.
Cora gave an acknowledging tilt of her head. She couldn't deny that. "That is true. Though it's probably impossible to not be missing out on most things. There's so much out there...we don't have the time to experience it all." A desire to learn what she could helped, but it wasn't really enough. And how much was there that they couldn't even begin to comprehend? Or believed in? She had wished that magic was a thing as a child, but as she'd gotten older she had known that it wasn't. And then, suddenly, it was again. What else was there, that she didn't know?
as long as someone will bleed.
"The joys of the school system," she muttered, twirling her wand in her fingers. An imperfect mess of a system that treated them all as if they were similar, as if they would all thrive or struggle the same ways. Shrugging her shoulders, she looked over at him. "Where do you want to end up, then?" she questioned.
A small smile played on his lips as he realized Cora shared his views on the rather shambled educational system. It was a mess of an "organization" really, when one got right down to it. It was catered towards one certain kind of student, he always felt. Or maybe, he hated it because he never could quite find his own place within it. Either way, he was glad she seemed just as disgusted with it. It made him feel a little bit less outcasted.
He shrugged a little at her question. Seventh year seemed like it was a billion years away, instead of two, and he generally didn't give his future much thought, anyways. "I dunno. Somewhere far away from here, hopefully. I don't see much point in sticking around. And you?"

ow, fantastic photos are clear evidence of your trip's fun and why your Mom keeps going to Paris! Very nice. Those pictures of the narrow streets reminded us of the same styles in Warsaw Poland!
It's a beautiful city, Pete, and a week doesn't even pretend to scratch the surface. There are fascinating and wondrous things at every turn, and it's a huge place. Definitely worth many return trips — as is all of Europe, I'm sure. We all just need more time, don't we?!!!!
Beautiful Photos and Paris has stayed the same in some areas and improved in other areas since I visited in the 1960's! Thanks for sharing a lovely week with your mom.
Places always change, but old historic towns and cities retain their essential flavor as long as their streets and buildings remain intact. 60 years is a drop in the bucket for an ancient city like Paris, and to me that in itself is mind boggling to ponder! Thanks for reading and appreciating this post, Judy!
Super photos (as usual) really catch the spirit of the city. I've been to Paris at least 10 times, starting in 1959, and the essay brings back great memories.
I'm so glad the pics and story brought back good memories for you, Michael. Paris very special and has an infectious spirit!
C'est manifique! As always, you inspire a visit. Really miss Paris.
I'm still going through my photos, lol!! So many great memories and fun shots. I feel like I still have one foot back in Paris as I look at them. What a fabulous and inspiring trip. Thank you!!!
Wonderful photos ! Beautifully shot ! Thank you for the post !
Enormous gratitude for this spectacular array of photographs, and that is not French hyperbole (which is a redundancy, of course).
Finally, we need an act of Congress (any congress will do) to eliminate "Website," the third thing requested below. No one has typed anything in that box since since Mickey Mouse was in knickers.

>> this is aboperate in. we offer expertise and tailor
solutions in a wide range of agencies. what can we do for you? >> in a special edition of news night, we go to the economic powerhouse of south africa. the country has enjoyed in st. growth. we examine how the country harnessed its natural resources to become the world's's leading economy. >> it popped up out of the water and got them. >> we meet those protecting the environment. >> these are huge conservation gains that have>> a logging truck right down there. they just landed a helicopter.
the officers are going over to the tracks, which clearly has gotten cut logs on it. >> hello. south america's most influential country, brazil is one of the few countries to enjoy a boom amid the global economic downturn. it is the world's six largest economy, much of the well comes from its large amount of natural resources. the country was lumped together with russia, india, and china and the akron them brick was born 00 bric w-- bric was born.
>> the capital city was built as a statement of intent. brazil's ambition is to become a dynamic modern nation. the economic boom in which this city was born turned to bust. the modern future that brasilia was designed to m body remained out of reach. then they modernism of this place seems to give choose to the old joke about brazil. brazil is the country of tomorrow and always will be. brazil's tomorrow seems to have finally arrived. it's this success was literally out in the country paul so vast interior. -- country's vast interior.
he runs one of the largest farming enterprises in the world. >> brazil has the capacity tbrazil leads the world in so late. -- in soy. first in or jews. -- orange juice. the big grocery of the world. he has good reason to feel cocky. 40 years ago, brazil was a net importer of food. now it is an agricultural superpower. the key to this transformation something very unfashionable, estate planning. >> brazil's secret was not
something created overnight. it was the result of planning. in reality, that protests began nearly 40 years ago when brazil's government created a state enterprise. the agricultural research corporation. >> he has been dubbed the king of soy because of his dominance of this key brazilian export. he has presidential ambitions, say insiders. >> that state organization was born with the mission of sending abroad hundreds of technicians, men and women, to be trained at universities in the united states, britain and other places. they returned with a large body of scientific knowledge. we begin to develop our own
systems, tropical agriculture. >> government planning may have created the agricultural miracle, but it does not sustain its bank. unlike europe or america, brazilian farms flores without subsidy. brazil did not put the b into bric based on agriculture alone. it has countless other minerals. it recently discovered huge oil reserves and is spending record amounts to get the stuff out. >> we are talking about a program that is $227 billion in the next four years. >> this is an investment. >> yes. >> the game changer for brazil is the prices it has been getting for the commodities in has in abundance.
thanks to the huge demand created by the rapid industrialization of china and india. he is a chinese born brazilian and the linchpin of many deals between brazil and china. >> the brazilian and chinese economies are complementary. brazil needs capital to create jobs in brazil and to grow its economy. chinese the strategic resources for sustained growth than to feed its people. >> this edition of harmony is the economy's neatly complementing each other does not quite hold. in the past year, growth has slowed to 3.5%, half of what china and india achieved last year.
one reason is what brazilians call the hidden cost of doing business here. restrictive labor laws and corruption. at the top of the list is infrastructure. this is the main highway, the heart of brazil's agricultural bonanza. is just a single lane highway. millions of tons of soy, beef shipped down this road every single year. during harvest time, this becomes one slow traffic jam hundred and hundreds of kilometers long. but complaints about the roads paled in insignificance beside the other brazilian bugbear,
commodities. the prices of commodities -- currency has gone through the roof. >> china will eat us up. that it will be india as well. the brazilian government needs to watch out for this. know exactly how far it can go and at what point they need to step in and come to the defense of brazilian industry. >> there are challenges ahead. brazil has weathered the current financial situation better than other nations. it is not a creditor. it lends money to the imf. the world of modernity that inspired the architect of brazil
may look a little out of date. brazil is very much a modern nation. >> among brazil's most precious natural resources is the amazon rain forest. important expanses of the earth's surface are being destroyed. in 2005, the government reported that 1/6 had been cleared by deforestation. >> in a sleepy town on the edge of the amazon, officers found the brazilian environment agency 3 lacks in the minutes before a jumble rate. relax ine in the --
the minutes before a? a jungle raid. >> he says there is nothing to worry about. >> for years, before its frontier was out of control. in 2004, an average of 20,000 square kilometers of flores was lost every year. -- forest. was lost every year. what has changed is the attitude of the. discovered -- brazilian government. 8 years ago, brazil realized it had a unique opportunity. it could go green, cut carbon emissions by just stopping the destruction of the forest. it would barely affect economic growth. brazil decided to declare war on deforestation.
how confident are you that brazil can successfully protect the amazon? >> totally confident. >> you cannot go to battle thinking you are going to lose. that is certainly what churchill thought. now the state has decided it does not want that anymore. a key problem has always been the shared size of the amazon. a big area has been cleared completely. i see a logging truck right down there. we just landed a helicopter. the officers are going over to the truck. it has clearly -- it clearly has first cut logs on it.
the guys seem to have run off into the woods. they were here a momenten we lal here. they must be around here somewhere. he has only six helicopters and 600 officers in the field at all -- at one time. they have to control an area of 4 million square kilometers. it is the size of a continent. new technology have come -- has come to the aid of the amazon. they want to show me the powerful new weapon in their armory. we are about to enter the nerve center of brazil's operation to stop deforestation. the situation room. let's have a look at that.
it is a little bit disappointing. it looks like a call center in a bank. the new satellite monitoring technology they are using means it is now almost impossible to cut down parts of the forest without being spotted. often do you get images? >> each day we be seeing information and we send to our field people. >> you can watch deforestation on folding sitting at your desk in the middle of basilian? >> yes. we can arrive there and punish the people. >> you are arrive just as they begin to cut the trees? >> yes. >> it has made the city much more effective.
the environment agency still does not get its nanette three- time. they have run off into the forest. -- the environment agency still does not get its man every time. they have run off into the forest. we will wait here to see if they come back. it seems like a longshot to me. it is not just the attitude of the government that is changing. john carter is an ex u.s. special operations soldier. ranchers and farmers have traditionally been the baddies in these stories. -- badies in the stories. but john had a change of heart.
it took me out to a project he set up. that is absolutely amazing. >> today is the day they were supposed to be hatched. the first jaguar i saw was in 1993. he was about 10 feet away from me. it is an exhilarating experience. it epitomizes the amazon to me. it epitomizes that frontier while the wilderness that still exists. i always tell my wife, when there is a day when there is no data are left in this region, that is when i want to -- no ja guar in this region, that is what i want to leave. >> john took me to see one of
the members of his alliance. when he arrived here 26 years ago, this whole area was dense rain forest. he has cut most of -- most of it down to grow soya. the combination of tough government rules and his persuasion has made him change his mind. >> his idealism has been like a light for us. i have planted new trees by my stream. the attitude of the farmers has really changed. we want to do the right thing. powers of persuasion became apparent when i calmed myself agreeing to a dip in the river near his ranch.
the amazon's top predator. he has been running for years now and has almost 500 members. john hopes he will half financial incentives for the farmers to do the right thing -- have. >> if we have enough farmland, we can supply the mcdonnell to all of north america. mcdonald's to all of north america. >> during the peak of amazon deforestation, a new player had emerged. this --
new strains of tropical soya, some of the most efficient enterprises on the planet. they were growing fast quantities of -- vast quantities of soya. some farmers were illegally clearing land. >> you can see soy on many of farms we are -- flying over. >> the idea was to rid crowd -- recruit a power of the world's consumers to persuade the soy industry to change its ways. it seems to work.
the threat of losing key markets abroad proved persuasive. in the thousand six, the traders agreed to a moratorium, guaranteeing day -- in the thousand six, the traders agree to a moratorium a-- 2006, the traders agree to a moratorium. this combination of different pressures, approved monitoring and enforcement by the brazilian government, and a change of attitude among amazonian farmers have come together to remarkable effect. the loggers did come back. here is one of them.
the helicopter is coming back. we have to see if the agent is going to catch another one. last year saw the lowest level of deforestation in the amazon since records began in 1980. just over 16,000 square kilometers were cut. it seems the underlying economics have not really changed. did it worry you that you were damaging the orange? >> i know it is wrong. i have seen it on tv. what can i do. if i do not work, i do not eat. >> in one remote amazonian state, they found an unexpected way to began to tilt the economic back in favor of the trees. it is 3:00 a.m. and i am being
led to deep into the virgin rainforest. we are equipped for action and about to head into the jungle to see a project that is the holy grail of forest conservation, reversing the logic of deforestation so that it is more profitable for local people to keep the jungle standing ban to cut it down. how have they done it. ? >> put it like that. ok. that is hard. >> it is very hard. >> this is rubber tapping done in the traditional way, from trees grow wild in the jungle.
how have they managed to make wild amazonian rubber profitable again? here is how. they use it to make these. the world's first rain forest friendly condom . hundreds of millions of them every year. these ladies are officially condom testers. it is a money job. all of these activities would not be profitable on their on. where are you going to get that money from? >> if we protect the forests, we do not have deforestation. if we do not have deforestation, we do not have carbon emissions. if we do not have carbon credit, we cannot sell.
>> those carbon credits could soon have real value. at the international planet conference, there was agreement on a scheme to funnel cash up to $100 billion from developed countries into projects like this. in the past year, there has been a backlash from the farming sector in brazil. the brazilian parliament has voted to cut the area of forest amazon farmers -have to keep on their land. the change can only be stopped if the brazilian president vetoes it. what are you doing? >> so the car can get started.
>> he is studying the effect of fire on the floors and the long- term future of the amazon. he is one of the leading tourist scientists. >> if you say it is in the name of science, you are the scientists. >> i get the opportunity to set fire to the rain forests of the amazon. he believes it is not too late to save the amazon. almost 80% of the forest is still standing. he says the battle has reached a crucial phase. >> in six years, deforestation has come down 70% below its previous 10 year average. this is a huge accomplishment. whether they can keep it up is the big question.
there is an alternative pathway that says the government becomes more relaxed, the market system disappears and it becomes a free-for-all. decisions made over the next few months will determine which direction brazil will go. >> for years, perceived wisdom was that the world's tropical forests are doomed. brazil has proven that deforestation can be contained. its achievements are fragile. it is a cause for hope. , hope that the greatest ecosystem on the planet can be protected. that is a pretty inspiring thoughts, is in its -- isn't it? >> that is all from brazil and from all of us. for this week, goodbye.
>> makwork hard in to provide capital for key strategic solutwhat can we do for you.

“BJP Physie….. Empowering Girls for Life!” Lophysie classes. Learning physie and performing gives girls (and women!) a real sense of achievement. You can’t buy self-esteem, you can only gain it through actually achieving something – whether that’s mastering a routine, performing for an audience, competing in a team or one of the other myriad of life experiences that girls have in their physie life.
“What do the words Empowering Girls for Life mean?
They mean the little 6 year old who came into class all smiles and excited for her first Physie lesson, only to freeze when she was expected to join the other girls on the floor. She would stand, chin down, shoulders hunched and not participate…. but after a few weeks of encouragement she was Empowered with the self-confidence to get involved and participate in the class!
They mean the 8 year old whose mum told me how happy she was that her shy daughter was loving Physie classes. For the first time her daughter was Empowered with a passion for something and, instead of hiding in the back and hoping she would not be noticed, her daughter was racing to be in the front of the class and wanting to do more and more.
They mean the shy little toddler who clung to her mum’s leg at her first preschooler class and was Empowered with courage to leave mums side and join in with her second class.
They mean the two boisterous young girls who came rushing into class then ran around screaming before the class started. They have struggled with the concept of being still and quiet during class… but they have been Empowered with the self-discipline to stand quietly, to concentrate and to do their very best.
They mean the two 11 year olds who gave up Physie a couple of years ago because their friends didn’t think Physie was “cool”. This year they were Empowered with the strength to stand up to the bullies and return to the sport they love… because it IS cool and they love it.
So how does the empowerment for life bit work?
These young girls will be able to stand up in front of their class and speak, thanks to Physie.
They will be able to get on stage in a school production, thanks to Physie.
They will be able to walk into a job interview standing tall and confident, thanks to Physie.
There will be some beautiful brides walking down the aisle with perfect posture and a beautiful air of confidence, thanks to Physie.
Thank you Lyn, for sharing that with us.

Well, hold on. It ain’t that simple.
Looking at the front (anterior) teeth, they serve as useful landmarks for the tongue and lips and play a very big role in the development of speech and the ability to articulate certain sounds.
Loss of the front teeth can result in distortion of the continuant consonants (v, f, th, z, and s). Try it now – imagine saying “the” or “that” without your front teeth!
Making those sounds requires an airstream, with force, over a small space at the front of the mouth which produces friction. Because of this, children who lose their front teeth prematurely (before they should, usually due to decay or trauma) make compensations to produce the correct sounds by changing the positioning of tongue and lips, and adjustment of the air stream. This may lead to long-term effects on their speech development and the risk increases the younger the child loses the front teeth.
3. Reduced general space (lee-way space) which may lead to the adult second premolar and canine to come through in odd positions
4. Cross-bite of the adult first molar (basically, a very wrong position)
Baby Teeth ARE Important
From the above, you can see that baby teeth are not “just baby teeth”. They are there for a darn good reason and they need to stay there for as long as needed until the adult teeth come through in place of them.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for “Right Behind You” wian’s can’t streC!
RIGHT BEHIND YOU is my first novel by veteran British author Rachel Abbott. The topic is the kidnapping of a 7 year old girl by a woman jealous of the life of the female protagonist. Abbott does a nice job of building suspense.
Thped
I found it hard to believe that Jo would not insist on accompanying her child but appreciated her later efforts and determination to get her daughter back. I also liked the realistic character of Ash who commits adultery and the ending which is realistic rather than an all-round happy ending. 4 stars.
Overall though it was an entertaining ride. Just be prepared to feel the protagonists anxiety and prepare to be led down one path after another. Exc domestic suspense!
Fetched. The narrator was very irritating, she had a nasal thing going on and it made it hard to get into the book for that reason. For a while I thought it was getting better, but that didn’t last long. There were side stories going on and that made it confusing, and they were also boring and had nothing to do with the plot. I would have returned it, but couldn’t figure out how.
I really enjoy these books by Rachel Abbott, especially the ones narrated by Lisa Coleman, who is amazing at Bringing the story to life.
I think it’s time for the author to take stock, have some time out and really think about where they are going with this series and these characters.
Love this book, could not stop listening. The story is so good, first time I have read a book from this Author. Well impressed.
1)You can't put a man on a birth certificate without him being present.
2) You cannot force a teenager to leave the country.
There is a lot more I could say but I will leave it there, its draggy and terrible on all fronts, full of annoying people.
I've loved all the previous books but this was a huge disappointment. In the end I grew that fed up with the narrative, Millie, Millie, goodness me I had to fast forward to the last half hour to hear the conclusion!
Only finished this AUDIOBOOK because I had gone so far and chose not to give up on it.Could have easily been abbreviated and still gor the same story.
A good book twists and turns galore the ending was a surprise. Narration was excellent.
I have read every single one of Rachel’ Can’t wait for the next one!
this author never disappoints me .great narration too.i look forwatd to the next book.

Whether or not if the Nebraska men’s basketball team was aware, it didn’t phase them in an 80-76 win over the Bulldogs to advance to the second round of the NIT Sunday night at 8:30 to face top-seed TCU.

Pershing Green in Los Angeles
Our shortlisted proposal to redesign Pershing Square – a historic central park in Downtown Los Angeles – was an opportunity to celebrate the energy and diversity of LA’s culture and history.Civitas, we engaged a board of advisors working in multiple different fields – from chefs, to artists, to musicians, to local business owners – together forming a collective dedicated to creating a space where LA could play.
Project Lead, Co-Design with Civitas
The design proposal reimagines the lost landscapes of the city, transforming the static spaces of Pershing Square as a dynamic new site for civic life. During the 20th century, much of the region’s diverse topography was cleared to construct LA’s notorious highways. Our design brings back elements of this topography in the form of a series of undulations, creating varied levels and sightlines to experience the park and the surrounding cityscape.
WHY + Civitas
“Pershing Square is a great place for people to get re-grounded. Re-grounded in the history of Los Angeles, re-grounded in our past that has been erased. And by doing that we’re getting better grounded in what’s to come, the LA of the future.”
Josh Kun, Professor

From Beaches To Beautiful Palm Trees This Place Is Not Less Than A Heaven In India. So it’s cuisine which is very alluring.
A staple of Kerala includes Seafood and Rice which is mainly consumed by the local people in their daily diet. So as a food enthusiast I was eagerly waiting to try the cuisine of this beautiful city of Calicut. So as I was tired because of travelling 6 hours straight I wanted to try a very famous restaurant named MEZBAN which was located opposite to my hotel which served amazing local delicacies Without any further thought I tried their all time favorite mango fish curry with ghee rice, Chicken 65 and grilled fish on banana leaf. All the dishes had their authentic taste. It’s a thumbs up for all the foodies out there to try out this amazing place if you are in Calicut and yes don’t for get to try the
amazing desserts at a coffee shop outside the restaurant to chill down the spicy flavours of the food. To digest the food and to try the next best place all the eateries in Kerala will serve you with their special Ayurvedic tea which is pink in colour and has uncountable health benefits.

Coming Up On the Off Side
Broadway, Broadway, Broadway. Enough about Broadway. The big boys have their spring schedule almost complete anyway, so let's look at the lands of Off, where times have been tough lately.
Two major downtown theaters, the Union Square and the Variety Arts, booked new plays this week, including one by a recent box-office winner, Eve Ensler. Beginning on Feb. 14, Ms. Ensler's newest play, ''Necessary Targets,'' will be in residence at the Variety Arts, now the home of ''Summer of '42,'' the well-meaning if weak-selling musical by Hunter Foster and David Kirshenbaum. ''Summer,'' which opened in the dead of winter, will close on Jan. 27, after 47 performances.
''Necessary Targets'' comes to New York from Hartford Stage; the New York producers are Harriet Newman Leve and Willa Shalit. Ms. Ensler is best known for ''The Vagina Monologues,'' which opened at the Westside Theater in October 1999 and is still making its producers and investors very happy.
''Necessary Targets,'' subtitled ''a story of women and war,'' follows a psychiatrist and a writer to Bosnia, where they hope to help refugee women, but, Ms. Eisler said, ''in the process of being there, one of their lives is completely changed.''
At the Union Square, where ''Bat Boy'' closed last month, the new tenant is to be ''Surviving Grace,'' by Trish Vradenburg, whose career has included stints as a speechwriter for Senator Harrison A. Williams Jr. of New Jersey (see Abscam scandal, convicted) and as a host of a book show on the QVC shopping network.
Ms. Vrandenburg's play, about a scrapping mother and daughter, has attracted two respected comic actresses: Illeana Douglas, who was to die for in ''To Die For,'' and Doris Belack, perhaps best known as the soap opera director in the movie ''Tootsie.'' Previews start Feb. 21; opening night is March 12.
The Cast Prize
Now that ''The Rocky Horror Show'' is gone and Dick Cavett and Cindy Adams and Sebastian Bach and Joan Jett are gone with it, the title of Most Intriguing Broadway Cast is up for grabs.
Oops. We have a winner.
It's the cast of Lincoln Center Theater's revival of ''Morning's at Seven,'' which just added four more top-notch actors: Buck Henry (co-writer of ''The Graduate,'' among other things), Julie Hagerty (who appeared in ''Airplane!,'' among other movies), Christopher Lloyd (who played Jim Ignatowski on ''Taxi,'' among other oddballs) and Piper Laurie (who played the mother in ''Carrie.'') Isn't that enough?
They join two previously announced grandes dames, Estelle Parsons and Frances Sternhagen.
The Irish actress Anna Manahan doesn't equivocate when she talks about New York.
''I love New York, and I think practically everybody in the world with any sense loves New York,'' Ms. Manahan said on Wednesday. ''Coming here in 1998 saved my life.''
Ms. Manahan isn't being dramatic. Shortly after she arrived in 1998 in Martin McDonagh's ''Beauty Queen of Leenane'' she was found to have a virus that attacked her heart. ''My life was saved,'' she said. ''And I won a Tony.''
True enough, Ms. Manahan did win that year's award for best featured actress for her portrayal of the toad ish and wickedly funny mother of the title character.
Now, she's back in a new play by an old friend of hers: ''The Matchmaker,'' by John B. Keane, the Irish writer and playwright. The production, a hit at the 2001 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, will be at the Irish Repertory Theater from Feb. 5 to March 31, with Des Keogh as the matchmaker.
In it Ms. Manahan, feeling much healthier than her last time in town, plays a series of women seeking a mate. ''I think I've lost about 20 years in looks,'' said Ms. Manahan, who politely declines to give her age to reporters. ''Everyone's convinced I've had plastic surgery.''
Using Both Barrels
It's not often that a playwright goes into an Actors' Equity showcase production with the play already on HBO's radar. But that's what's happened to Alexandra Cunningham, the 29-year-old author of ''No. 11 (Blue and White),'' which opened last night a.
Ms. Cunningham's play follows the life of Alex, the most popular girl in an affluent prep school. And it was that premise that caught the eye of Sydney Pollack, director, producer and father of two grown daughters. ''I lost a lot of hair during their teen years,'' he said.
Since reading the play, Mr. Pollack has taken a central role in developing it for television. ''The object here was to see if we couldn't recreate in a series the absolutely authentic voice that deals with the lives of girls this age,'' he said.
So Ms. Cunningham, a Juilliard playwriting fellow from 1998 to 2000, is adapting her play as a series for HBO's consideration; a draft of the pilot is due in about a month. ''It's the greatest kind of freedom,'' Ms. Cunningham said. ''I get to pick up where the play leaves off.''
*Brian Stokes Mitchell, Douglas Sills and Anne Hathaway have been cast in the City Center's Encores! production of ''Carnival,'' beginning Feb. 7.
*What do the playwrights Mac Wellman, Rinne Groff, Arthur Kopit and David Mamet have in common? Each will be represented in Hot Ink, a festival ofbeginning Thursday and running through Jan. 28. Perf. Information: (212) 998-1860.
*Don't look now, Frida Kahlo, but the Artemisia Gentileschi craze appears to be gaining steam. Coming after a 1998 film about this 17th-century Italian painter, both a new play and a retrospective of her paintings are opening in February. The exhibition will be at the Metropolitan Museum starting Feb. 14; the play, ''Lapis Blue Blood Red,'' will bbeginning Feb. 1.
Correction: January 23, 2002, Wednesday A brief report in the On Stage and Off column of Weekend on Friday misidentified the sponsor of Hot Ink, a festival of play readings at New York University. It is the undergraduat, not the university's Experimental Theater Wing.

I reached out to Kayak spokesperson Kellie Pelletier and she had the following to say:.
They’ll be spreading the word to AAdvantage members and Kayak users later today by tomorrow at the latest. Naturally, the most important question was . . . how will the results be displayed? Sadly, I’m not getting an answer to that one:
Of course, it only takes a quick search to see that neither Orbitz nor CheapTickets are anywhere to be found on AA results.
So, it would appear that American won the battle to have their flights only shown from AA.com. Is it as good as it used to be for Kayak users? Nope. It’s always better to have results from multiple sites. But Kayak really needed to have AA results to make their comparisons worthwhile. If all they can do is get AA.com, it’s better than nothing.
I also wonder what happens if Orbitz for some reason has it cheaper than AA? Still hidden then or would it be just the AA.com listing?
Good question. I’m poked around a little, and I haven’t seen any multiple carrier itineraries showing up. So it appears that no AA flights will show up via Orbitz even though AA can’t sell those multiple carrier itineraries itself.
In other words, Kayak had decided the deal they had agreed to no longer suited them. Now they decided it does. Nothing changed.

Reece and members of the New York Giants coaching staff.
In other words, the City of New Rochelle is on a very short list of those refusing to recognize me as a journalist and/or deal with Talk of the Sound as media. And, not for nothing, I have turned my little web site into what many consider the most influential media outlet in New Rochelle without any outside funding or advertising and did so in the face of an openly hostile municipal government and city school district. Maybe some of this will help you understand why I do not take kindly to receiving "lectures" from you on your rather bizarre and unfathomable notions of journalistic ethics under which a reporter is supposed to check with the government before running a story to make sure its acceptable or risk losing "cooperation" with the government.
There is no small irony that the oft-made complaint that Talk of the Sound is only interested in covering "negative" stories emanates almost exclusively from people who work in City Hall, home of the only two organizations that refuse to add Talk of the Sound to their press list which is, presumably, where the City and Board of Education distribute all of their "good news" stories. Even when we cover "positive" events on our own initiative -- the United Water press conference, the Stowe celebration at City Hall, the Youth Bureau Intern Award ceremony -- your government goes out of its way not to cooperate or support our efforts to report on those events.
I have let things slide long enough and now intend to press my concerns. Despite your glaring at me out of some misplaced conviction of being on the moral high ground, the statements made by Ms. Sussman at the last NRIDA meeting regarding my effort to report out the Schulman story are false. I called both Mr. Freimuth and Mr. Schulman prior to the NRIDA meeting. I had already been made aware of the pending changes and understood perfectly well the context -- that Mr. Freimuth is generally unhappy with the staff he inherited and is intent on making changes (and has done so). Deny it if you wish but I know this to the case. Whether they care to admit it or not, I called Freimuth. He was in a meeting. I left a message with Freimuth's secretary and then asked her to transfer me to Schulman. I got his voice mail. I left a very detailed message as to the purpose of my call. Neither of them have ever responded. I might add that I also called Kathy Gilwit but did not leave a message (which I now regret) because she so rarely responds to my requests for information and I have gotten into the bad habit of not bothering with her. I have publicly committed to changing that and will make it a point to always seek her out and then always report her response or, more likely, her failure to respond.
There have been a few other issues but I believe the real low point was failing to include Talk of the Sound in communications with the media regarding the announcement of the Celebration of Jim Stowe's life at City Hall. On the heels of that we now have another low. At the request of a municipal employee (who I will never name so do not ask) I canceled previously made plans and instead spent two hours covering the ceremony honoring interns at City Hall. I took over 100 photos including a series of group shots of the interns all with Kelly Johnson's enthusiastic support. Yet when I asked for help so that I could accurately credit which kids won which awards my requests were repeatedly ignored and I was given the runaround for two days. Tired of waiting, I informed Kathy Gilwit via voice mail and Michelle Oliveros directly on Friday that I had given up and was dropping the story. It was only some time after this that I get a phone call back from Kathy and then emails from Kathy and Michelle containing the information I had requested -- all of it a day later and a dollar short. Kathy called to say that she wanted to apologize, assuring me there was nothing intentional about not providing the information. In a vacuum, I would certainly accept that from her because everyone I know who knows Kathy thinks highly over her but Kathy is not her own boss and there is no vacuum. I see no reason to view this as anything more than another example of a calculated policy within the City government to refuse cooperation with me as I work to report out a story even if that story involves the death of a sitting member of the City Council or crediting children for their good effort in the summer intern program.
I am well aware that neither you, nor Marianne Sussman, Barry Fertel and Noam Bramson, like me, my site and the stories I publish. You are entitled to your personal opinions. What you are not entitled to do is translate your personal opinions into your official conduct. Mr. Fertel has gone so far to accuse me on-air at WVOX of running an anti-Semitic hate site which, according to him, callously tramples on the feelings of descendants of Holocaust survivors. This ludicrous claim was made after I published a photoshopped image of the Mayor against a backdrop of the flag of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Below is a direct quote from Fertel on WVOX with Bob Marrone"
"I did not read Mr. Cox's blog and I was really, really...there were a lot of misstatements-in it that were very inappropriate, they were really hateful. One of the things to compare the mayor to the emperor of Japan, who attacked Pearl Harbor and then later on to compare a descendant of Holocaust survivors to Hitler, is the rankest hate that I have seen on the website yet. And I can tell you, Bob, that whatever is going on, and I am not privy to what is going on... it just seems to me that to compare a Jewish person whose family was lost in the Holocaust to Hitler, is the worst kind of Anti-Semitism...and I think you (GMW) should be condemning that, as well CLUTTER...and I think you should be the one through the public have you seen it?"
I wrote not a single word about Adolf Hitler and certainly made no comparisons between the Mayor of New Rochelle and Hitler. It is not even clear on what basis Mr. Fertel is even making his ridiculous, uninformed claim since he begins his remark by stating that he did not read the article. Apparently, Mr. Fertel is either unable or too stupid to distinguish between General Tojo (Asian guy, military uniform, lots of medals) and Adolf Hitler (short angry guy, brown shirt, tiny little mustache) or believes the Nazis built concentration camps in Japan. In any case, the image was in reference to the "Tora, Tora, Tora" headline regarding the sneaky way the Mayor went about pursuing Home Rule legislation for the Naval Armory as any idiot would know (which perhaps explains why Barry did not know as he is not just "any idiot" but rather a distinguished idiot among idiots as far as idiots go).
Ms. Sussman has gone on the radio to demand that WVOX bar me from their airwaves after I rightly asked why the City of New Rochelle was still doing business with a developer (Forest City) whpublic officials in Yonkers. Maybe there is a good answer but to portray this entirely reasonable question as somehow beyond the pale and grounds for an elected official to encourage media censorship is irresponsible. As noted above, she has also used her position as Chair of the IDA to make what I believe may have been knowingly false statements about me regarding my article on recent personal changes at the IDA. The Mayor has made it widely known that he does not like me very much. In his case, I will make an exception because I have been harsh with him and so he has every reason to dislike me. Regardless, given our large year-on-year growth and ability to drive the news cycle in New Rochelle, I trust the futility of the "Ostrich" approach is becoming apparent even to dimwits like Mr. Fertel. The issue, however, is not whether certain people in government like me, my site or the stories published on the site. The issue here is the government's obligation to support a free press and the First Amendment. The entire point of the First Amendment is to protect media outlets that are not popular with those in power.
One other thing I recall vividly from our meeting was your stated desire to run a professional organization. To my way of thinking, that includes looking beyond any personal animosity and instructing your staff to deal with every news outlet in the same way, even if you do not like the owner or what that outlet publishes. That means. among other things, extending invitations to media-availabilities, and providing timely answers to inquiries. If you wish to discuss this further I will do my best to make myself available at your convenience but, past being

Have you been living under an astral rock or in a remote wilderness somewhere? No? Then you’ve definitely seen Jason Mamoa recently. The stacked and shredded 6’4” beast is looking jacked beyond belief for his latest role as Aquaman – crushing any ‘corny’ character misconceptions.
Here’s how the Hawaiian native built his swole superhero physique…
Introducing Jason Mamoa – The Jacked AF Dude Taking Over Screen
The bulk: Building Aquaman’s superhero muscle
Feeding the beast: Jason Mamoa’s Aquaman diet
Jason Mamoa isn’t the sort of guy you’d forget in a hurry. Ever since breaking onto the big screen he’s become one of the biggest stars on the planet. We don’t just mean that figuratively either, as his 6’4” 215+ pound frame is enough to make Hollywood’s baddest men stumble over their lines.
His first breakout roles were as the ruthless warlord Kahl Drogo in HBO’s epic Game of Thrones and the reimagination of Arnie’s iconic role, Conan the Barbarian. Movie and TV fans were blown away by Mamoa’s powerful and functional looking physique – something amplified by his routine warrior roles.
Over time the man mountain has gone from strength to strength. It was only time until he made it onto the main stage, bagging roles with the apex of superhero cinema. His debut role as Aquaman in 2016s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice went down a storm – making waves for Mamoa’s return in 2017s Justice League.
Now, heading toward the end of 2018, the long-haired swole superhero is back! This time though, he’s taking the headman spot as the lead role in DC’s long-awaited Aquaman. It’s safe to say he’s not about to let anybody else steal the limelight too – not if his physique can help it!
Building a superhero was never going to be easy. It takes guts, grit, and determination far beyond the realm of normal men. Fortunately, Jason Mamoa is the sort of guy with the drive to get sh*t done.
Standing at an imposing 6’4”, Jason is quite literally built to build. His natural genetics have gifted him a wide frame with broad shoulders, a thick torso, and a dense core. So, he was never going to struggle gaining extra muscle.
However, for his lead role in Aquaman, the Hawaiian came out looking more jacked than ever. His already inhuman slabs of lean mass looked bigger, fuller, and dare we say it… stronger.
Hell, we don’t think we’ve ever seen the dude so cut.
The Power of PPL Splits
To achieve his Aquaman amino drenched muscle, Mamoa embraced the power of PPL splitting. Working out four times per week, he’d first perform a push day, followed by a pull session and a leg day.
He carried out this process for an entire six months. According to his trainer, “we would usually lift at least four days a week and climb at least three times a week.”
Why a PPL split? Well, for an actor like Jason who is constantly working time is always tight. PPL splits focus on directional specific movements, meaning he can hit more body parts in one session.
On top of the pure convenience, the PPL split is also forgiving. Yes, you can smash big-ass compound lifts, but you also work alternate muscles. The ones you beast on push day can all recover while you work their opposing partners for pulling.
Finally, another reason the Hawaiian was smart to choose a PPL split is that they’re awesome for gains. By offering more opportunity to hit big compound movements progressive overload is made easier. Heavier weights can be added to the bar quicker – meaning the PPL is perfect for building size and strength together.
Want to learn more? Here’s a complete guide to PPL splitting include a workout for each day.
So, rather than bulk like your stereotypical bodybuilder, Mamoa went full superhero. After all, what good is all that muscle if Aquaman can’t use it? He needed to look athletic, not just aesthetic.
To do this Jason Mamoa and his trainers employed explosive compound movements. Think bar-bending deadlifts, serious squats, box jumps and medicine ball slams. Save isolation moves like bicep curls or calf raises as an accessory and/or aesthetic exercise.
They also trained in a traditional strength style to stack muscle fast, while burning fat to shreds. That means heavy weights in the lower rep range for any and all big lifts.
Focus on explosive compound lifting
Add in isolation exercises as accessory and aesthetics training
Low reps at heavy weights for your main lifts
Think athletic over aesthetic
Incorporate an equal amount of push and pull exercises
Don’t try to rush the muscle building process as the intensity of strength training is taxing on the central nervous system
Five seconds spent on Jason Mamoa’s Instagram profile says it all. This guy is all about an active lifestyle full of fun and functional fitness.
He’s a huge fan of board sports like surfing and skating. Rock climbing plays a huge part in who he is too. For Mamoa, life is one big playground laid out in front of him to conquer.
Spending time surfing or scaling a rock-climbing wall builds all kinds of functional fitness. It’s the kind of strength that translates into the real world, and builds a body that says, “this man can move.” Plus, as an additional cardio element to his training, all this fun stuff helped him shape up too.
When speaking to Men’s Health, Mamoa explained this concept perfectly. He said, “it’s very hard sometimes to just work out. It’s monotonous and you can get stuck in a rut. I get bored, so I do a lot more boxing, surfing, climbing – I do the things I love to do when I’m not training for a role. When I have to change my body type, then we just switch it up. Doing a lot more weights for size; a lot more cardio for definition.”
What’s the takeaway? Screw the boring treadmill and do something you enjoy instead. Make your additional cardio training functional but most importantly, fun.
Try your hand at climbing or surfing like Mamoa, or something else such as swimming, cycling, martial arts or kayaking. You’ll be burning calories, testing your body, and all sorts of areas often missed in the gym.
Lead an active lifestyle full of fun functional fitness
Find something you enjoy that isn’t just strength training
Think outside the box – try a new activity that’ll challenge your body
Don’t overdo it in the gym – save enough energy to enjoy adventures
Growing muscle is all about eating enough calories. The extra energy from eating in abundance can be used to rebuild torn muscle fibers, helping them grow back bigger, faster and stronger.
For actors like the Aquaman star, it’s all about getting mean, while staying lean. To do this, they have to carry out what’s known as a lean bulk. Therefore, rather than just eat anything in sight, they have to be calculated in their approach.
While getting cut for his lead as a DC superhero, Mamoa was strict for six days a week. On the remaining day he’d let himself loose a little. Because, as we all know, a good old refeed is essential for staying on track.
When asked about his upcoming Aquaman role, the actor told Ask Men; “I’ve got to get really shredded. I can’t drink as much beer as I normally would like to! For Game of Thrones, Kahl Drogo was great. All I did was lift, eat pizza and drink Guinness. Now, I have to watch my girlish figure.”
Cycling carbs and prioritizing protein
Unlike his prep for Kahl Drogo, getting Aquaman levels of shreds meant Mamoa had to constantly adjust his macros. Hard carbs were cycled around training, while high-protein meals were always a priority.
When it came to preparing for a shirtless scene, the self-confessed beer lover even had to give up beer. We feel for you Jason, we really do.
Finally, while carbs are great for speeding up the bulking process nothing beats protein. As the fundamental building blocks of muscle, the actor simply had to eat his aminos in abundance to recover.
This meant including them at every feed to support his growth and shred goals. According to the ISSN, men must consume between 1.4 – 1.8 g of protein per kg of body weight every day for muscle gainz.
Eat big, get big – eat in a calorie surplus to supply extra energy for muscle building
Work hard and play hard – keep clean for six days a week and save the last for a cheat day
Prioritize protein – a high protein diet helps support optimal muscle growth and fat burning
Cycle hard carbs around training times – this reduces the risk of fat gain
Get your good fats – fat is essential for muscle building as it allows testosterone production
Cut out the beer if you want to unleash your superhero six-pack
There’s no denying that the sheer size of Jason Mamoa is impressive. His physique screams unadulterated strength, functionality, and superhero levels of un-fuckwithable. He’s not the sort of guy you’d expect to win an IFBB show, but for sure one ready to save Atlantis.
He built his latest physique on top of an already powerful frame. Both he and his trainers embraced the Hawaiian’s genetic disposition to getting swole by undertaking some serious strength training. This resulted into super-fast muscle growth, which in turn was sculpted a thick, dense, and natural looking body.
Backed up with bouts of fun AF functional fitness, Mamoa and his team built muscle that looked the part. Athletics and aesthetics co-exist in the same space, which is something vitally important to the Aquaman role. He needed to come across as believable and the audience needed to see a superhero physique that could get the job done. It’s safe to say the Hawaiian native nailed it once again.
So, what’re the three main takeaway points? Firstly, concentrate on explosive compound lifts. Secondly, remember to have fun getting functional. And finally, fuel those other-worldly gainz with a high protein and nutrient dense diet. Oh, and make sure to let loose once a week with an epic cheat meal.
Over and out, bro. Good look forging your superhuman physique!

# misty-interact
This is a server-side app which lets [Misty](https://www.mistyrobotics.com/) interact with people by controlling her via her REST API.
This app contains various "feats" (or skills) which can be combined to give Misty more complex human-like behavior. The project contains several experiments in the `experiments` folder each of which can be run using:
yarn start <experiment>
where `<experiment>` is the name of the corresponding subfolder. Most experiments explore ways in which Misty can interact with humans by looking them in the eye, recognizing and resonding to speech, making emotive movements, etc.
Before running an experiment, make sure that you've run `yarn install` and have set up a `.env` file with the correct environment variables. `.env.example` contains a list of the variables which need to be set.
Some experiments require integration with third party services or additional software to be used with. For example, all speech-related experiments require integration with Google's Text-To-Speech and Speech-To-Text services. For this purpose, you need to create a project from the Google Cloud Console, enable TTS and STT for that project, generate a `gapi-credentials.json` file, and add the path to that file to the `.env` variables. Similar principles apply to the experiments which use Wit.ai or Pandorabots.com - you need to setup an account in the corresponding service, configure a chatbot, and provide the credentials as `.env` variables.
In some experiments the audio is being recorded by an external device. The [`MistyInterface`](https://github.com/asteasolutions/MistyInterface) iOS app can be used for this purpose.
</s> # H5P Survey
The `H5P Survey 1.0` is fork of our [`LearningAssessment 1.0`](https://github.com/OER-Dev/oer-h5p-dev/tree/dev/packages/LearningAssessment). It removes the answer checking, allowing use of the content type as a simple "pick 1 of X" form survey.
## Changes to the content type
* Changed references to "Learning Assessment" and "Quiz" to "Survey" to improve readability
* Removed Scoring and right/wrong feedback functionality
To load the icons we use [React](https://reactjs.org/) and its `render` function to render it into the container we want. React isn't used for anything other than this. This might seem a bit over the top at the moment but the long term goal is to replace more content with React components. More over it helps handle animations and SVG content in an easier way.
To run the library in development mode run the following commands from the library root:
Note that for the dev script here to work the [`dev`](../../dev/README.md) server needs to be running as well.
There are three different scripts used when building the library's production build. Remember to install the dependencies before running them with `npm install`.
* `npm run build-src`
* Builds the frontend code and copies it into `H5P.Survey/`
* `npm run build-h5p`
* Packages all the content of `H5P.Survey/` into a `.h5p` file named `survey` and puts it into the `dist/` folder. This file can be used to install the production build on any site that supports H5P content.
* Runs both of the above scripts in sequence.
## xAPI events/coverage
* Answered question - triggered when
* Completed full quiz
* Interacted with question option - interacted with one of the answer options of a question.
* Interacted with "Success" or "Failed" button in endscreen.

the success of controversy – Masculin.com

The world’s first sports SUV, the Porsche Cayenne is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. A true precursor to a rapidly expanding market, the Porsche Cayenne was decried when it was released, with some calling it mechanical heresy. Throwback to this crazy saga of the ugly duckling!
A controversial car upon its release
Porsche has long been a sports car manufacturer, and the Cayenne was a departure from that tradition. Many people felt that an SUV did not fit the image of the Stuttgart firm. Some also worried that the Cayenne was too big and heavy to be driven like a Porsche.
The Cayenne and went on sale in 2003. While initial public reaction was not positive, the automaker had to work hard to convince people that the Cayenne was « a real Porsche ».
The genesis of the Porsche Cayenne
In the mid-1990s, the German manufacturer was in difficulty and was struggling to renew itself. If the release of the Boxster in 1996 does him good, the leaders know that it is dangerous to rely on the 911 and its derivatives alone. It is at this moment that the idea of a third type of Porsche started to germinate.
Ferdinand Piëch, then head of the group, wanted to produce an SUV that was as sporty as a Porsche should be. The project is called “Cayenne”, in reference to hot peppers.
The first steps were taken in 1997 with the presentation of the LMP concept car – for Le Mans Prototype – which would serve as the basis for the future Porsche Cayenne.
The design of the first Porsche Cayenne is entrusted to Harm Lagaay, who will also be at the origin of the Boxster. The latter borrows a lot from the 911 with, for example, its rear part or its flat six-cylinder engine located at the front of the cabin.
The market is not ready yet
The Porsche Cayenne was finally unveiled in 2002 at the Geneva Motor Show, but its commercial release was postponed to 2003. The reason? The market is not (yet) ready for an SUV from a sports car manufacturer
In Europe, the reception is almost unanimously negative and the first orders are very low. In the United States, on the other hand, the Cayenne is a real success and quickly compensates for the lack of sales in Europe. The Cayenne S, equipped with a V8, even won the « Truck Of the Year » award in North America in 2003.
A gradual and then explosive success
After reluctance, comes the time of acceptance. Even if the success was not yet total, the Porsche Cayenne gradually seduced the European public and became one of the brand’s best-selling models.
In 2010, Porsche unveiled the second generation of the Cayenne. Lighter, more efficient and better equipped, it received an even warmer reception than its predecessor. It is also one of the first SUVs to offer a plug-in hybrid model from the second generation of 2010.
The third generation was unveiled in 2018. With its new look and numerous innovations, the Porsche Cayenne is more than ever a flagship model of the German manufacturer. Two years later, Porsche celebrates the millionth Cayenne sold.
A reference SUV
On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, the Porsche Cayenne can therefore be considered a real success story. What was once considered an odd idea has now become one of the brand’s go-to models.
The Cayenne also In 2018, the Cayenne was once again the best-selling Porsche model with 156,503 units sold worldwide.
It is now considered a reference SUV, both in terms of design and performance. The Cayenne has truly become an integral part of the Porsche vehicle range and its success does not seem to want to be denied. It also paved the way for its little brother, the Porsche Macan, which followed suit in 2014 and also enjoyed significant success.

Swimming injuries are a whole lot more common than you might think. Sure, most people think of swimming as more of a leisurely sport or occasional relaxation time, but for the aggressive and competitive individuals that do more than simply float around the pool on their back and offer a kick from time to time, injuries are often inevitable.
Swimming is usually thought of as being an ideal form of exercise since it is rumored to be injury-free. Traditionally, physical problems only occur as a result of serious land training that is combined with competitive water training. This kind of vigorous training leads to breast-stroke knee and swimmer's shoulder. These terms are basically just generalized descriptions of the movement that is causing the injury.
Swimmer's shoulder, also referred to as shoulder impingement or rotators cuff tendonitis, is one of the most common types of swimming injuries that can occur in novice and veteran athletes. This painful injury can occur in swimmers because of basically two different reasons.
When extending your arm vertically at your shoulder there is an adduction of the arm that is blocked.
When extending your arm out in front of you at the shoulder, the motion is blocked to the right or left.
The pain usually occurs between 80 and 110 degrees in the arc. If you can barely apply any strength against the movement, there is a good chance that your rotator cuff has a tear. This type of trauma is usually accompanied by shoulder impingement. Treatment usually involves rest as well as assessing any faults that contributed to the injury.
Rest is usually the main form of treatment but if symptoms persist or worsen, anti-inflammatory drugs may be needed along with hot and cold therapy. Also, for severe cases, a cortisone shot may be required to alleviate pain.
The glenohumeral joint is found where the humerus and glenoid cavity meet. This is one of the more rare swimming injuries that is usually only seen in professionals or those that have been swimming for an extremely long time.
The shoulders are the concentration of the majority of swimming injuries for a number of different reasons. The upper body of swimmers provides the propulsive force that moves them through the water. The shoulder joint has to withstand overuse syndromes. In shoulders that are unstable, the external rotators have to do extra work which leads to fatigue, inflammation and overload.

K Minot....
I would recommend a 'yes' vote just to keep these bond issue 'yes' voters off of the homeowner's back, but somehow, there will be another reason in the future to add another tax for some inane, insane reason.
So, it is better to cast a 'no' vote and make them work harder than ever to raise more money for a new elementary school.
Make them beg for it.
If Kevin is looking for facts, why did he write to the Minot Daily News?
Vote no. To ask us 4 more money when the state is so loaded fits in with the russian treatment of german farmers in the ukraine, taxes in old england and the iraq war. Our "civic leaders" paved the way 4 the 2011 flood and all the heartache and cost that went with it. i am not in the mood 2 pay more and don't tell me what the state can't do with oil money.

Glen Campbell Plays for New Friends and an Old Flame
Playing guitar flawlessly and singing with the same impeccable skill and passion for which he first gained a worldwide following in the early 1960s, there was in his performance scant evidence that Glen is, as he recently disclosed, battling the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, save for a tendency to sometimes repeat himself or to stumble over a lyric or two. But while he told the audience more than once that he was happy to be there and pleasantly surprised to find an audience waiting for him, that could just as easily be an expression of the gratitude that he's taking with him as he embarks on what he's calling the Glen Campbell Goodbye Tour, having now recorded what he says will be his last-ever studio album.
Before Glen took the stage, attendees filed into the small theater, many taking special note of a familiar, if somewhat surprising, attendee. Tanya Tucker, with whom Glen shared a tumultuous relationship in the early 1980s, was seated in the center of the room. It was her first time seeing him in 21 years.
In an exclusive interview after the performance, Tanya said the occasion, which many might have seen as bittersweet was anything but.
While she didn't speak to him during the event, and has not spoken to him since his Alzheimer's diagnosis, Tanya said, "This thing is just a little setback." e there to watch him perform.
"He's just so great," she noted. "We want him to be a long time going. Because he's such a wonderful ... legend, really. He's always been so great. He's still got it. I've loved him since I was about 8 years old. I still do. That never will go away."
Honored and obviously touched by Tanya's presence at the event, one thing for Glen that will never go away is his ability to connect with a song from another writer's pen and make it his own -- his versions of Jimmy Webb tunes such as 'Galveston' and 'Wichita Lineman' being prime (and far from the only) examples.
"The songs actually speak for themselves," Glen tells The Boot of the tracks he chose for 'Ghost on the Canvas.' "All I thought about was 'sing it in tune with feeling.' I don't want it loud, I don't want it soft, I just want it nice and comfortable because if you get the feeling out of a song, you've won the war. I've had that happen on occasions where it all just fell in place. Amazing. Everything sounds so good. It's just like you're in a room with somebody."
Filled with poetic, cut-to-the-heart lines, the songs on 'Ghost' cover a wide range, but from the opening track, 'A Better Place,' and its first line ("I've tried and I have failed, Lord, I've won and I have lost") the album serves to reflect on a life and career that, while they may not have always been perfect, have been leading to something that promises to be.
'Ghost on the Canvas' is another of the collection's more ethereal offerings but Glen's assessment of its deep, meaningful message, which he says "just knocked me down" brings it right back down to earth.
"It had me grinnin' like a dog passin' peach seeds," he says with a laugh.
While five of the tracks were co-written by Glen, other writers who contributed to the album include Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan and Teddy Thompson, whose easy-rocking 'In My Arms' provides the disc with one of its most exuberant turns.
"That is one of the best-written songs," says Glen of the tune. "I love songwriters. They're pouring their heart out on something where they're trying to get across the point. I've heard somebody singing [songs they wrote] where about halfway through it it'll fall down -- they go into another sphere. This end of it is so good and then they end up doing something kind of lame. But I'll finish that off sometimes. I'll call them and say I want to do this and that. They'll say, 'Oh, fine.' I'll do that but I've never taken any kind of royalty off of anyone's writing."
Although he first came to prominence as a session guitarist, Glen has long been regarded for his singing ability, which has no doubt been one key to his crossover success. It's also been, he says, one of his most important missions.
"If you've got a good song you've got to sing it good, you've got to phrase it good," he reasons. "I think phrasing is lost in the wind. I get so much inspiration from the Lord. He gives me inspiration to sing and to sing it well. That's really what I try to do when I make a record, or when I'm doing a show. Ggive it another shot."
The next stop on Glen's Goodbye tour takes place October 1 in Reno. He's scheduled to visit the U.K., then will return to the States in November. The tour is currently slated to finish up on December 18 in New Mexico. Keep track of his tour dates here.
Also in the works is a feature film based on the legendary entertainer's life and career. In advance of that project, producer James Keach, who was a producer of the Oscar-winning Johnny Cash biopic, 'Walk the Line,' is producing a documentary film chronicling Glen. The singer says he's confident the end result of both films will be fair and honest portrayals and at this point in his life he has no issues with a "warts-and-all" approach to what has been a remarkable -- and remarkably complicated -- life.

Rasual Butler might not be just another training camp body for the Spurspurs have added sharpshooter Rasual Butler to the training camp roster. It’s not exactly a big surprise since theyhave been reportedly interested in him for most of the offseason and they are looking for more wing depth. Even at 36 years of age, the former Wizard is worthy of a camp invitation. Butler is not as talented as other options but his skill set makes him a good fit for the Spurs……
In previous years I had set goals and even if I didn't fully achieve them, they were helpful in giving me targets and I was able to grow because of them. 2010 began and I didn't set any goals. Truth be told, I was in much of a fog because…

After seeing several cases in the past couple of months where I felt the basics of troubleshooting were violated, I figured it was time to do a post on that again. After all, some of those cases had me as a main culprit. So this is as much a reminder…
Last night I picked Devin off the floor to feed him dinner. It was a tasty dinner of bananas in a baby food jar. I gave him one bite and he kind of jerked back and gagged. I thought maybe it was a little hot because I had heated it in the microwave. After testing it I found it to be a little on the cold side. I gave him another bite of the slimy goodness and he gagged. Hard. Devin was choking!
I took him out of his high chair and leaned him back so I could get a good view in his mouth. I couldn't see anything. I have taken several CPR classes and I am CPR certified. But one of my greatest fears is one of my children choking even after learning the Heimlich manuever. I know from the classes that it's better not to use the heimlich for a baby under 1 year. And you shouldn't use the manuever if he is still breathing and coughing. Devin was breathing but the gagging was getting stronger and getting closer and closer together. I was trying to turn him upside down and hitting his back. I was trying to sweep his mouth with my finger to dislodge anything. Nothing was working!
Suddenly the house was quiet except for Devin's efforts to clear his throat. I felt panic creeping over me. I started reapeating over and over, "Get it out!Get it out!Get it out!" And then I was praying. I was a daughter looking to her Father in desperation. "I know of Thy love for my son. Please bless him. Help him."
Just as I was getting into her car I felt a change in Devin. I held him back from me to look. He wasn't breathing. My baby wasn't breathing!Cindy went to grab the phone to call 911 as I threw Devin back yet again. I was clutching at his clothes to remove the one piece jumper so that I could find the spot to begin the Heimlich. Again, I felt his body change. He was no longer gagging or trying to breath. The torture had passed for him. He was just a little sweaty from his ordeal. But he looked better and he wasn't even crying. In fact he was more interested at looking at Cindy's dog, Annie. I, on the other hand, was trying to slow my heart rate down!
Jeez Katrine. What a story!I am so glad you are all fine now. I never would have thought about scotch tape being so dangerous!

MANILA, Philippines—An undermanned Magnolia squad securholding off Meralco, 88-85, in the 2021-22 eum.
The Hotshots, who played without Ian Sangalang, Calvin Abueva, and Rome Dela Rosa, maintained their hold of the top seed at 8-1 while the Bolts dropped to third and tied Alaska with a 6-3 record.
It took a pair of defensive stops for Magnolia to clinch the victory as Mark Barroca first tipped Allein Maliksi’s pass to the open Chris Banchero in the corner then preventing the Meralco forward to get a clean look from beyond the arc.
The Bolts got to within one, 86-85, after Maliksi’s three-pointer with 42.1 seconds to play in the fourth but Mike Harris made a three-point game, 88-85, for the Hotshots as he drove to the cup against the defense of Tony Bishop.
Harris finished with a game-high 30 points with 22 rebounds and two blocks to lead the Hotshots while Paul Lee added 16 points and three steals.
Bishop had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Meralco.
Abueva is suffering from a calf muscle strain since the middle of February while Sangalang is nursing a sore knee that he got after Magnolia’s game against San Miguel on Sunday.
Dela Rosa, meanwhile,February.

My suggestions would be to make the Twitter account more visible on the home page. They wouldn’t have to do much, just add a link to their contact information, maybe use the actual Twitter icon for brand recognition. If there’s some problem with the userbase not knowing about Twitter, maybe some form of quick instructional page would be useful. That could be linked to off the contact page. Finally, more consistent posting is key to making any of these blogging or micro-blogging tools useful. There are some good bits up there but in my opinion Twitter seems to work better when it’s constantly dripping information.

A hybrid architecture that includes Radial Basis Functions (RBF) and projection based hidden units is introduced together with a simple gradient based training algorithm. Classification and regression results are demonstrated on various data sets and compared with several variants of RBF networks. In particular, best classification results are achieved on the vowel classification data [1].

Home NEIGHBOURS No Link Between Pulwama Attack, Pakistan-based Outfit: Ex-Pakistan envoy
Pakistan’s former High Commissioner to India Ashraf Jehangir Qazi refused to accept that the attack on CRPF convoy in Pulwama of, which led to the death of more than 40 troopers, was an act of terror rather he calls it resistance…armed resistance.
NEW DELHI (IANS) — India has not given any evidence to establish link between Pulwama terror attack and an organisation based in Pakistan, said and insisted that taking action against terror outfits in the country.
“As far as Pulwama thing (terror attack) is concerned, India’s attempt to link Pakistan seems to have completely flopped, a complete failure. It was a suicide bomber. What is the authenticity of the video, in which he claims to be a member of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)? There is absolutely no evidence which can link any organisation based in Pakistan or Azad Kashmir (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) with this incident,” Qazi said in an interview to Tiranga TV programme “Upfront” aired on Sunday.
He said India claimed it had “incontrovertible evidence”.
“We have agreements with the American on use of F-16. They are used for defence purpose on our territory. The negative narrative…is partially based on inventive and fake evidence.”

" The tax framework deal that has upset may Democrats, also keeps the capital gains tax at 15% and allows a possibly historic one-year full write-off of taxable business assets.

P. N. Singer i Kings College, London and held research positions at Newcastle University and at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (visiting). He began his research in ancient philosophy and science in Cambridge, where he completed his PhD ('Galen on the Soul: Philosophy and Medicine in the Second Century AD') under Prof. G. E. R. Lloyd. His research centres on ancient Graeco-Roman conceptions of, and practical approaches to, health, disease, diagnostics, clinical practice, the mind–body relationship and the emotions, in both medical and philosophical contexts, with further interests in ancient knowledge exchange and paedagogicsse themes; co-edited (with Chiara Thumiger) a major volume on mental illness in Greek medicine; and translated a number of works by Galen into English (including several never previously translated into a modern language), in volumes publishede ongoing Cambridge Galen Translations series).
On the basis of the substantial technical writings on the pulse of the doctor-philosopher Galen (2nd-3rd century CE, Rome), the project aims (a) to achievtime measurement in ancient clinical contexts and (b) to analyse the important and hitherto unexamined theoretical conception of time elaborated by Galen, which is closely related both to concepts in ancient music theory and to the philosophical analysis of time in relation to space and motion in Aristotle and others.

Now, I'm not suggesting a change in our reference to God as some feminist would suggest. However, on this Mother's Day I am suggesting that we can understand some of God's qualities as we remember and think about our mothers. So, what are some motherly qualities of God?
This entire passage deals with the theme of assurance. No matter how firmly grounded you are as a Christian, you may at sometime need assurance of your relationship with God. When a child is hurt or frightened – who does that child call for or run to?Usually it Mother!
Jesus tells us in the Word, "Lo I am with you always." Indeed God is there, present and also responsive to our hurts, our fears as well as all our needs. If we call upon Him, He will answer with His re-assuring voice. God is able to save us even when we don't feel saved. God understands us better than our heart knows us. Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane as recorded by Mark in 14:36 is said to have fell on the ground and called out to His Father, "Abba, Father…
A mother has a way of knowing it all. Theologically, we call this omniscience. As a child you may think of this as "omni-painful!

If I have to describe my medical internship in Nepal experience with Volunteer World Nepal in a couple of words I would say: interesting, a leap in the dark, varied and actually one of my best life experiences. With no clue what to expect I entered Kathmandu on the 6th of November and the moment I stepped out of the plane, I felt embraced by the smell of Asia. It was good to be back again. The next upcoming three introduction days I learned a small word of Nepali and visited temples and Volunteer World Nepal projects in Kathmandu. In this way, I could acclimatise, meet new people and get to know possible volunteering projects. After the introduction, my internship began in Kathmandu. I felt very welcome by all the doctors who taught me about diseases, their diagnosis and treatment by observing in the daily outpatient department. After one week I noticed something was missing. Since I would love to work with children in the future, I asked Volunteer World Nepal if it was possible to combine my internship with volunteering at school. This was no problem and the next week I started giving CPR training and organised a medical health camp accompanied by great Volunteer World Nepal staff. I loved the combination of the medical internship and work at the school. Thereby, I think this is only possible if the organisation is flexible and this is exactly what Volunteer World Nepal turned out to be. They give you a lot of freedom in choosing a well-matching project and appreciate your input. Be creative, energetic and spontaneous and you will have a lifetime experience in Nepal with Volunteer World Nepal!

Mission Statements • Who is your customer? (demographics, psychographics, firmographics) • What benefits are you offering? • How will you deliver the benefits? (The technology you will use) DCB Examples
Mission Statement Example “Our mission is to bring better food choices to consumers through the application of advanced technology” (The NutraSweet Co., Kotler & Armstrong, Principles of Marketing, 5th Ed., p. 30) • Benefit-oriented, not product-oriented • Specific (?) • A good mission statement helps avoid “mission creep” but enables a company to grow in appropriate directions

Using Technographics • Forrester surveys 250,000 North American households and uses cluster analysis to determine the 10 technographic clusters. • Forrester helps you survey your customers, asking 15 key questions. • Forrester tells you which technographic categories are most common among your customers. • Forrester tells you what it already knows about your segments so you can enhance marketing campaigns.
Situational Segmentation Adapted from Hoffman & Novak (1996). Marketing in Hypermedia Computer-Mediated Environments: Conceptual Foundations. Journal of Marketing 60(July), 50-68.

Convenience Comprehensiveness Manipulation Community Annoyance Speed Data Processing User Interface Image Resolution Support Differentiating Information Products “Versioning” See Shapiro and Varian (1998). Versioning. Harvard Business Review, or Information Rules (same authors).
Top 5 Reasons Why You at Least Need Brochureware • Avoid looking technologically clueless. • Answer FAQs. • Be accessible 24x7. • Reach worldwide audience. • Provide basic information about your company and products.
Site Design Basics • Identify who will be visiting your site and why they will want to visit. • Design a “template” that is consistent with your company image. Choose all graphics, colors, fonts, etc. to reflect your image. • Include address, e-mail and phone numbers. • Create a flowchart or site map that reflects the visitor benefits for the web site • Convert files to html • Load on your server • Test, test, test • Promote your site See also Janal (2000) Marketing on the Internet
Optimizing Brochureware to Bring in Leads Marketing Implications: What the prospect does… Search the web via search engines or portals to find information and possible vendors SEO, list with key portals. Include useful content on your site. Identify a few suppliers who appear to meet what might be your criteria Understand key criteria; attempt to influence criteria. Make it easy for prospects to contact you; follow up quickly. Send e-mail to each supplier, asking for salesperson contact Self-qualified leads?

Traditional Banner Ads • Full banner ads are 468x60 pixels, e.g., • Banners ad space is often sold based on CPM (cost per thousand impressions), typically $2-$50. • Average CTR (click-through rate) is around 0.5% . • Conversion rates are around 1-2%. • Cost per acquisition may be around $150-200. = CPM/1000/CTR/CNVR = 10/1000/.005/.01 = $200
Advertising Options Payment methods Ad formats Ad delivery • Text links • Buttons • Static banners • Animated banners • Pop-up windows • Rich media pop-ups • On web site • In e-mail • In newsletter • In kind • Sales commission • Pay per click • Pay per impression • Sponsorship
Service Overview • Value of service. • Customer migration strategies. • Customer satisfaction is related to service expectations.
Service is Part of Your “Augmented Product” Augmented product Service Product See Levitt (1980) “Marketing Success Through Differentiation – of Anything” Harvard Business Review.
Pricing and Ignorance In commodity markets, if all prices were known to all buyers, sellers would not be able to charge different prices. “The difference in prices in a market are in indicator of the ignorance in the market” Approximate quote from George Stigler (1961). The Economics of Information. Journal of Political Economy 69(3).
Pricing More Than Your Product • Do the costs of search not outweigh the benefits on the Internet? • Or are books not commodities? • What do book sellers offer besides books? Figure 12.9, Hanson (2000) Principles of Internet Marketing
Drive Customers to Interact via Cost-Effective Media (“Customer Migration”) • Internet self-service • Automated call center • E-mail interactions • Call center • Individual calls • Mail • Face-to-face Reduced cost/interaction But recognize that you must offer customers a medium they are comfortable with (Peppers & Rogers).
Tips for Moving Customers to the Internet • Ease of use, ease of use, ease of use. • Pick the right functions. • Roll out functions over time (don’t overwhelm your customers!). • Promote your functionality. • Be patient with your customers’ level of proficiency with the Internet. Some of these points came from Helen Tueffel’s (VP at Solant) presentation at the July, 2000 IQPC B2B eCustomer Care Conference in Chicago.
More Powerful Motivators for Moving to the Internet • Phase 1: Incentives for use of Internet. • Some services only available online • Reduced service fees online (Fidelity fees) • Phase 2: Disincentives for use of other media. • Longer waiting times for using other media • Surcharges for using other media Some of these points came from Helen Tueffel’s (VP at Solant) presentation at the July, 2000 IQPC B2B eCustomer Care Conference in Chicago.
If you want to keep them on the Internet… You better keep them satisfied!
A Satisfaction Primer The Expectancy Disconfirmation Paradigm: Dissatisfaction occurs when performance falls short of expectations (negative disconfirmation). Satisfaction occurs when performance meets or exceeds (positive disconfirmation) expectations. Delight may occur when performance positively surprises the customer by delivering the unexpected.

Classic and made from decent red wine. Soft spices to give a dry finish with a hint of pepperiness. Some testers found it a too dry.

The Ox Falls Into the Ditch
Build Your Ride: TRIAD Week One
Providence’s Libertas Scholars Program introduces students to writers and ideas that have shaped our world. As the world drifts towards ever-expanding government solutions to problems (which are, more often than not, created by the very same government), students become ready to apply their humanities backgrounds and economic skills to critique ill-advised approaches to modern challenges and suggest constructive ideas of their own.
Last summer, the Libertas group traveled to Rapid City, South Dakota, for their first experience with FreedomFest, a national conference organized by economist Mark Skousen. It was a wonderful experience, rich with speakers and lively debates.
As another summer approaches, so does a return to FreedomFest, this year in Las Vegas July 13-16. With a lineup including comedian and actor John Cleese, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang, Forbes editor Steve Forbes, former presidential economics advisors Art Laffer and Stephen Moore, actor Ben Stein, writer Eric Metaxas, “Words and Numbers” podcaster James Harrigan, and Senator Rand Paul, this year’s FreedomFest offers a select group of Providence Libertas Scholars plenty of intellectual food for thought. Students will have many options at a buffet of over 200 speakers, movie shorts, debates, and discussions.
All Libertas Scholars have been a series of books during the year, including (but not limited to!) Silence, by Shusaku Endo Jay Richards’ Money, Greed, and God, These four books taught students about the persecution of Christians in medieval Japan, life in a Soviet gulag, a Christian defense of free markets, and Hazlitt’s one simple lesson of economics, applied to a plethora of examples, written 70 years ago but just as relevant today.
The Goal of a College-Preparatory Education Is More than Just Getting into a College
Jamie DeVries Joins Upper School Faculty
Jamie DeVries has accepted the invitation to join the Providence faculty, beginning in the 2022–2023 academic year. A veteran teacher, Mr. DeVries has devoted the past 23 years of his professional life to helping students succeed, in and beyond the classroom. He is the founder and director of the Entrepreneurship Academy at San Marcos High School, as well as the n raised over $4.5 million for disadvantaged children, locally and globally.
A graduate of Westmont, Mr. DeVries holds a single-subject teaching credential through Chapman University. Additionally, he is a certified life coach, having trained in the Stanford University Design Your Life program. He is s, including Santa Barbara County’s Superintendent Bill Cirone “Heart of Education Award” (2019), Santa Barbara County “Distinguished Educator of the Year” (2011), and was named one of Westmont College’s “80 Notable Alumni” (celebrating Westmont’s 80th anniversary).
Bruce Rottman Announces His Retirement
“I am grateful God has granted me all these years and incredible opportunitie,” says Mr. Rottman. “I have had the privilege to not only guide young minds in how to think, but I’ve also been able to guide them as they discern what to think about the topics I believe are noble, virtuous, and important to advancing God’s Kingdom.”
Mr. Rottman looks forward to whatever the future holds outside the classroom, which is likely to be a combination of consulting, part-time teaching, writing, creating art, renovating an older home, and spending time with his family. To ease into retirement, he has accepted a one-year position to launch a free market institute and teach a dual-credit economics class at Brookfield Academy, in conjunction with Concordia University Wisconsin.
“I will never retire from sharing my passion for liberty and sound economics and how those ideals reduce poverty and contribute to human flourishing,” Mr. Rottman says. “Without a doubt, I remain committed to the Providence mission and to seeing the school I’ve been privileged to help build succeed at every level. I am confident God has provided an excellent new faculty member in Jamie DeVries, who will bring his own mix of talents and skills to benefit our students.”
“Providence School rests solidly upon the creativity and enthusiasm of our teachers and students. We learned a lot during COVID about how resourceful and adaptable our teachers and students are. As an independent school, we have broad freedom to craft programs and classes that we believe are worth pursuing—not because any external entity requires it of us. TRIAD gives us a chance to showcase the talent and experience of our community in unexpected ways!”
