Grimsby Town have won new admirers in Devon - and one of them is Bideford boss Sean Joyce.
The Mariners beat their pre-season opponents 4-0 thanks to a brace from Mitch Rose and strikes from Scott Vernon and Adi Yussuf.
Joyce was clearly impressed with how Town played against his men.
Despite the score, Joyce was pleased with his team's performance against what he viewed to be a strong-looking Town side.
He told Devon Live: "I was pleased with it really. To be fair, it was a full-strength team, and they were good. We're not far off where they want to be. Sometimes it can take a couple weeks to get to a pace that they want to do.
"I thought Grimsby were good, one of the best teams we've played actually.
"They moved the ball quick, you could see what they were trying to do, they kept going, kept putting crosses in and kept trying to score, and to be fair to my lads we kept the shape about us and it was a pleasing performance from my lads really."

With spring on the horizon, we are sure to start seeing many Missouri residents hitching their boat trailers to the back of their vehicle and heading out to the lake.
Take care when riding alongside any vehicle with an attached trailer. These are not only difficult to maneuver, but also pose a risk of coming undone, especially at high speeds. When this happens, there is a sudden non-moving obstruction in the middle of the roadway that can cause a serious accident. If you were injured in an accident involving any type of trailer, contact a Missouri car accident attorney immediately. If it turns out that the trailer was not attached properly, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
How Accidents with a Trailer Hitch Happen
An accident with a trailer hitch is almost always the result of one of these circumstances: The hitch was not fitted properly onto the ball, there was no locking mechanism or it was not working properly, safety chains were either not in place or not attached correctly, the trailer load was back heavy allowing the tongue to come loose, or any one of the safety components had a design flaw. If the cause of your accident can be traced back to a fatal error in the design of the trailer hitch, then you may have a products liability case. Your Missouri car accident attorney will conduct a full investigation into the details of your crash before deciding the best way to pursue payment of damages for your injuries.
Using Extra Caution While on the Road
The driver of the SUV or pick-up that is pulling the trailer needs to be extra cautious while out on the ride. Sudden maneuvers or large bumps can cause even a properly attached trailer to come undone. This means driving slowly with tail lights and brake lights that are in good working order. If a trailer pulls away from the vehicle at a high speed, the damage it can do can be catastrophic.
There is a case where the velocity of a detached trailer was so strong that it sliced through the door of the vehicle and decapitated the driver. Recently in Franklin County a driver suffered from a serious leg fracture after a trailer became detached and caused a major roadway accident. The owner of the trailer agreed to a $387,500 settlement to cover the cost of his medical bills as well as the plaintiffs lost time from work.
Finding Evidence of Negligence
Just like in any car accident case, those involving a trailer need to show evidence of negligence in order to be successful. Insurance policies cover the damage caused by a trailer, so it is likely that the policy carrier will be fighting hard to avoid a payout. It is important that you contact a Missouri car accident attorney as quickly as possible after your accident. He will need time to go over the crash and look at the trailer and hitch to determine exactly what the cause was. Once the cause has been established, you can be sure he will work hard to help you receive compensation.

Ju Hyun Lee is a Korean artist based in France, working with edible plants under the form of installation, performance, festivals. During this workshop participants will learn how to make kimchi and Namul, whilst learning to understand about their organisational ecologies.
Nature has great power to dress up naked soil with greenery, in order to preserve the moist in their bodies. It's the great collective work of millions of non-human actors — sun, seeds, weeds, worms, water, minerals, winds, bees, bacteria and trees. But, humans, especially, industrial farmers and old school gardeners, often don’t allow this natural process to happen, as it is not aligned to their synthetic operation. What we now consider to be 'bad' weeds, has been our main food since thousands and thousands of years. We have stigmatised the weeds and used them as a scapegoat for modern food production and distribution.
South-Korea followed the rapid process of modernisation of the West just a century ago. In Korea this change occurred speedy enough for many traditional values and architectures to be lost, but was too short to lose the ancestral culinary practice. Korean people still consume a lot of wild plants of large varieties.
Kimchi and namul are traditional culinary techniques which could be highly useful for many ecological daily practices related to food. The key of these techniques stems from the excellent (but forgotten under the stack of supermarket stuff) idea that all non-toxic entities from nature which keep a good level of wildness, could be eaten, and even: they are considered to be more enjoyable than any ‘domestic’ vegetables. In this workshop Ju Hyun Lee will introduce kimchi & namul techniques, sharing reflections on the bodily and materially engaged ecology. This workshop includes tasting of wild kimchi from dandelion, common hogweeds, sorrel and lamb’s quarters, and will teach you how to make namul with fermented sauce, something which is essential for the powerful use of wild edible plants.

The race is on for companies to present their driverless cars to the public, but recent collisions involving autonomous vehicles developed by Uber Technologies Inc. and Tesla Inc. have led consumers to questions whether these vehicles can alleviate traffic issues and increase safety. A new study published in Risk Analysis examined the question "How safe is safe enough for self-driving vehicles (SDVs)?"
To answer this question, researchers employed an expressed-preference approach—a method that has not previously been employed in this setting—to determine the socially acceptable risk of SDVs. The results showed that the public will not accept this new technology unless it is shown to be safer, approximately four to five times as safe as human-driven vehicles (HDVs). Despite the conveniences SDVs would bring to individuals, such as the ability to watch a movie, read a book, sleep, or surf the internet, the public will be much less likely to accept, or even tolerate, SDVs if they have the same risk level as human driving. As suggested by previous studies, an individual increases his or her demand for safety when that safety is entrusted to an external factor, such as an automated vehicle.
One of the major motivations behind the development of SDVs is to improve road safety. Human error is believed to cause 94 percent of all traffic crashes in the U.S., and 75 percent in the U.K. While SDVs have the potential to significantly reduce these types of crashes, they also introduce several new road risks, including accidents caused by cyber-attacks. Creating perfectly safe SDVs is both technologically and economically infeasible, but policies can require that the risk of having them on the road be as low as technically achievable.
The study was conducted by Peng Liu and Run Yang, Tianjin University, and Zhigang Xu, of Chang'an University. The survey was distributed to a convenience sample of residents in Tianjin, China. Of the 499 respondents, half were randomly assigned to complete a version of the survey for HDVs, while the other half completed an SDV version. Risk frequencies were expressed as one fatality per a certain number of vehicle-kilometers traveled and as one fatality per a certain number of population, respectively. Respondents were asked to accept or reject each traffic risk scenario at one of four levels: never accept, hard to accept, easy to accept and fully accept.
The results show that the respondents believe that SDVs should be four to five times as safe as HDVs. Current global traffic fatal risk is estimated at 17.4 per 100,000, which is 350 times greater than the frequency accepted by 50 percent of the respondents for SDVs. This implies that respondents expect SDVs to improve safety by two orders of magnitude against the current traffic risk.
Based on the results, the researchers propose the following requirements for SDVs based on the tolerability of risk in industrial safety (a concept developed in the health and safety field) in which risks are distinguished by three criteria: unacceptable, tolerable, and broadly acceptable. SDVs that are less safe than human drivers would be set as the unacceptable risk criterion. The tolerable risk is that SDVs be four to five times as safe, meaning they should be able to reduce 75-80 percent of current traffic fatalities. The broadly acceptable risk criterion for SDVs is set as two orders of magnitude lower than current global traffic risk, indicating a hundredfold improvement over current traffic risks, or the same order of magnitude experienced in public transportation modes, such as rail and commercial aviation.
"Our results and method may help government authorities to establish clear safety requirements for regulating SDVs and also help SDV manufacturers find consumers' expectations for SDVs that must be met," states Liu, PhD, assistant professor of industrial engineering.

There’s been a lot of talk about self-care lately, and it’s for a good reason. Self-care is an essential part of managing stress and living a balanced life. And yet, so many people struggle with it.
But what is it exactly? For many, the first association to self-care is pampering yourself, like taking a long bubble bath or going to a massage. And yes, self-care can surely look like that, if it works for you. But it’s also so much more.
Self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress.
In other words, it’s any activity that restores your energy, promotes your health, and makes you feel nurtured and taken care of. Shortly, self-care is care provided to you by you. What makes it so important is that it is a vital starting point for dealing with stress and challenging situations in life. Think of it as an armour to protect the energy you need to survive and thrive. It’s not just an escape from the daily grind, but an ongoing routine that increases your resilience and overall vitality.
Struggling With Self-Care
While a part of self-care is taking care of your physical health, it also means – and here comes the tricky part – paying attention to your needs and allowing yourself to act on them. Many of us don’t know how to practice self-care because we weren’t taught to pay attention to our inner states, trust them, and be honest about them. Instead, we learned what we’re ‘supposed’ to feel or think, and try to ignore things that are opposite to that. For example, you may feel upset about something, but at the same time you think that you shouldn’t feel like that but be strong, positive and grateful. So you suffocate your anger, sadness, or anxiety about the certain situation.
If this is something that sounds familiar, there is a chance that you apply the same mindset on self-care too. In other words, you have the idea of how self-care should generally look like and force yourself to do activities that fit into that picture. So self-care becomes a chore, which is exactly the opposite of what the whole concept is all about.
Despite its huge importance for mental health, self-care still sounds a little yucky for some. The reason for it probably lies in the fact that, in our culture that glorifies self-sacrifice and ‘hustle’, it’s easy to feel guilty for wanting something different than that. We may feel wrong or shameful if we put our needs first, if we take some time to relax and do something nice for ourselves instead of helping others all the time or tirelessly working toward our goals. As a consequence, we might label ourselves as being ‘selfish’, ‘weak’, ‘lazy’, or ‘entitled’. And, of course, because we don’t want to be any of these things, we neglect meeting our needs, sometimes to the point where our body and mind beg us for it. The end destination – exhaustion and burnout.
Considering its significance for our wellbeing and at the same time so many misconceptions attached to it, it’s time to rethink self-care, don’t you think? Let’s debunk some common misbeliefs about it.
Misconception: Self-Care Is Selfish
Truth: Self-Care is Necessary for Maintaining Loving Relationships And Investing in Them
Think about it like when you’re in an airplane. The flight attendants always tell you to, in case of an emergency, put your oxygen mask first, and then help others. It’s similar with mental health – if you’re not properly taken care of, there is a chance you’ll end up not helping anyone, including yourself. The lack of ‘me’ time can drain your energy and lead to resentment toward others. And that, you’ll admit, is not the most positive starting point for investing in relationships.
Self-care is the opposite of selfish. It means you’re preparing to be there for others and to give and help not out of guilt but because you honestly want to.
Misconception: Self-Care Means I’m Weak
Truth: Self-Care Is a Necessary Part of Being Strong and Healthy
Self-Care is not a sign of weakness, but a fundamental aspect of staying healthy, emotionally and physically. Practicing self-care is not proof that you can’t persevere and cope with challenges, but a sign that you’re thinking long-term. Almost everywhere we turn, there is some sort of messaging to push it harder, to stretch our limits, to go, go, go. Self-care doesn’t fit in this kind of mindset society imposes on us, and sometimes it takes courage to go in the opposite direction – to slow down and take some time for yourself. And something that takes courage is surely a sign of strength, not a weakness.
Misconception: Self-Care Means I’m Lazy/Is a Waste of Time
Truth: Self-Care Boosts Your Productivity
Today, many of us are addicted to busyness. We always have to be on the move, make plans, have things scheduled in. But your energy is not limitless. If you never stop to take some rest and you neglect your needs, it is a well-known road to stress, overwhelm, and burnout, which all lower your productivity. On the other hand, self-care is a way to recharge and prepare for new challenges. It’s not a lack of self-determination, but exactly the opposite – a smart strategy to keep you in line with your goals in the long run.
Simple Self-Care Ideas to Try
Self-care routine doesn’t have to be something big, expensive, or time-consuming. In fact, it might be better if it’s not any of these things. Rather, it should be a series of small and simple actions that you can easily practice throughout your day. So, to create a self-care routine, you need to know yourself, your likes and boundaries, and act on them.
Still not sure where to start? Here are some simple self-care ideas that might give you some inspiration to start exploring what works best for you.
1. Eat a healthy meal. If you’re into cooking, prepare it yourself. Experiment with new tastes.
2. Set a date with yourself. Visit a museum, go to a cinema, or treat yourself with a nice dinner or, yes, a massage or a long bubble bath ?
3. Get a solid eight hours of sleep.
4. Go to your favourite workout class.
5. Take a walk in nature.
6. Stretch. Multiple times a day. Pay full attention to your body.
7. Take time to breathe gently and deeply. While doing that, say some kind words to yourself.
8. Switch off all your electronic devices (laptop, tablet, phone, TV), and enjoy the silence.
9. Meet with a friend whose company you really enjoy.
10. Learn something new that always interested you. Wake up that curious inner child.
11. Write in a journal. Get honest about your feelings and needs.
12. Meditate or practice mindfulness.
13. Practice gratitude.
14. Write yourself a ‘well done’ list at the end of the day to celebrate your achievements, however big or small they may be.
15. Curl up with a cup of tea and read a book or watch your favorite TV show. Extra points if you light up a yummy smelling candle ?
16. Tap into your creative side. Try sewing, writing fiction, painting, dancing, or buy some crayons and a coloring book.
17. Say NO to activities or gatherings that drain your energy.
18. Seek therapy.
19. Practice self-compassion. Talk to yourself like you’d talk to a close friend.
20. Practice taking ‘should’ out of your vocabulary and freeing yourself from feeling that you ‘should’ do things.
How do you take care of yourself? Let us know down below in the comments. And also, if you like this post, please share it on your social media. Let’s raise awareness about the importance of self-care.
Most of us want to be liked by other people. It feels great to know that others think good of us. However, when we believe that being liked depends on how much stuff we do for other people and how helpful we are, that’s when the problems arise. People-pleasers know this issue too well – the inability to say no.
Helping others can be really fulfilling, but if you do it at the expense of yourself, out of fear or anxiety, it becomes an unhealthy pattern of behaviour that can suck all your energy and negatively impact your relationships. You spend so much time on what you think you need to do that there is almost zero time left for what you actually want to do. In the end, you feel exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, and even resentful.
But it doesn’t have to be like that. Learning how to say no and not feel awful after is absolutely possible. In fact, knowing how to set boundaries is one of the most important things in sustaining healthy relationships with others and yourself.
Why Saying NO Is So Difficult?
In general, as children, we learn that saying no is inappropriate and rude. If you said no to your parents’, cousins’, or teachers’ requests, you’ve probably been told off for it. Over time, you associated saying yes to requests with getting approval and saying no with criticism. On top of that, early relationships maybe additionally influenced your “people-pleasing” patterns of behaviour.
You may have been raised to be a sweetheart who always took care of other children, especially if you were the oldest child in the family. An influence like this can lead to the formation of beliefs such as: “I am only lovable if I’m accommodating and helpful”. Or maybe you come from a family where providing emotional support was conditional and inconsistent. Thus, in the attempt to secure love from important adults, it’s possible you developed the underlying belief: “If I don’t do everything to make others happy, they might leave or stop caring for me”. Inability to say no can also stem from early experiences with highly-critical parents who severely punished their children, even for small mistakes. Such experiences can lead to beliefs such as: “If I don’t do everything right, I will disappoint others or be punished”.
Whatever the case is, your self-worth may have come to depend on things you do for others. This is a tricky thing because it forms a vicious circle with no satisfying solution. On the one hand, being unable to say NO can make you stressed, exhausted, and resentful toward others. On the other hand, saying NO might be a threat for your self-image and result in you questioning your decision, feeling bad about yourself, or worrying others will get hurt, angry, or disappointed at you. Either way, with this kind of pattern, you can’t win.
But there is a way to actually win, and that is – change the pattern. Here are some steps you can take to help you say no effectively and create space for a more intentional yes.
Step 1: Get To Know Your Priorities
If you don’t know what you want, it’s a high chance you don’t know what you don’t want. Identify what is important to you, and acknowledge what is not. We all have limited energy and time; decide where you want to direct those, and where you definitely don’t. Before you say no, you have to be clear that you want to say no.
There are, of course, things that need to be done, even if we don’t like it, like finishing that important but boring report at work. But there are also things that you are not obliged to do, like spending another two hours at work helping your colleague finish their task while you really wanted to spend that time at the movies with your significant one.
You can’t be all things to all people. Choose what and who the priority is, and invest your limited time and energy there. The rest gets your resources only in case you really decide it’s worth it.
Step 2: Know What Saying NO Is And Is Not
- Saying NO means you’re rejecting a request, not the person. Make clear to yourself (and to the other person) that you’re not rejecting them as a whole person; you’re just turning down their invitation. People will usually understand that it is your right to say no, just as it is their right to ask for the favor, and that your no doesn’t mean “I don’t like you” but simply: “Sorry, my plate is full/my priorities are elsewhere”.
- Saying NO doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. Just because you say no to sacrificing your time and comfort to accommodate others doesn’t mean you’re unlikable, rude, or selfish. It means you’re thinking long term and saying no is a preventative act against self-loathing and resentment in the future.
- Saying NO is not a missed opportunity but a trade-off. Some people hate to say no because they feel like they’re missing out the opportunity. However, saying yes to something unimportant often means saying no to something important. So, instead of looking at NO as a missed opportunity, you can see it as a trade-off. You’re choosing the opportunity to do something you value more than the request. It seems like a fair deal.
- Your NO might be much less threatening than it seems to you. Research from Columbia University found that, very often, people whom others see as appropriately assertive mistakenly thought others judged them as being over-assertive. This effect is called the line crossing illusion. So, if you feel you might be confrontational, there is a high chance the other party doesn’t see you that way.
- Saying NO is a form of self-care and self-respect. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first if you want to have the energy to help others.
Step 3: Learn To Tolerate The Reactions Of Others
The reality is, with some people, setting boundaries will unleash some unpleasant emotions and reactions. There is a possibility they get angry or disappointed, especially if they’re used to you being always available and accommodating. Some might even try to cross your boundaries and continue to push to change your NO into YES. However, when you know this, you can be prepared to work to firmly maintain the boundaries that you have set.
Remember that you’re an individual to yourself and that everyone is responsible for their own reactions. Sometimes, deep down, negative response and unpleasant emotions of others are simply not about you. But even if they are, don’t overgeneralize and jump to conclusions too fast. If someone is disappointed or angry, it doesn’t automatically mean they will ditch you out of their life or think you’re an awful person. It means they are disappointed or angry in that particular situation.
If someone keeps crossing your boundaries even when you communicate them clearly and gets upset because you’re not ready to sacrifice your happiness for their comfort, it may be a good idea to ask yourself is it the kind of relationship you want to nurture in the long run. In the end, you want to surround yourself with people who respect you for who you are, not only for what you do for them.
Step 4: Learn Some Practical Skills For Saying NO
Here are some tangible tips for practicing saying a polite but effective no.
✔️ Express your appreciation. More often than not, when people make a request, it’s because they trust your capabilities or they like your presence. Thus, even though you’ll refuse the invitation/request, thank them for approaching you.
✔️ Be kind but firm. Being polite doesn’t need to lead to a YES. Simply expressing your NO with a kind tone can help the other person (and you) feel better about the situation. However, some people don’t give up easily and will test your persistence. In this case, it’s important to know that nobody can “make” you change your answer with their repeated requests; the decision is completely yours. It’s your job to set boundaries. You can be as decisive as they are pushy. This is a good opportunity to practice your assertiveness.
✔️ Give some reason if you want but don’t over-apologize. Some people find it easier to say no if they give a reason for it, and that is okay. If you feel more comfortable saying: “I’m sorry, I have something else in my schedule already” instead of: “Sorry, I can’t”, that is completely fine. Just don’t lie about it and don’t make up excuses, because that will make you feel even guiltier and possibly complicate your life further. It’s important to know that you don’t need the good excuse to say no – having your priorities elsewhere is enough. Remember, you’re not asking for anyone’s permission to say no – you already have the right to it.
✔️ You can take time to think about it. Sometimes we just babble out YES and commit to something we don’t want to because we feel pressured to give the answer right away. It’s okay to take some time to think about it. That way, we give ourselves the opportunity to answer from the logical and realistic point of view instead out of anxiety and desire to please. If you’re really not sure about the request, tell the other person you’ll get back to them when you think about it. Just make sure you actually do it in a timely manner.
Saying no is a new thing for many of us, and therefore takes practice and courage. But with time, it becomes easier and brings amazing benefits. You are unique, important, and valuable even when you say no to being everything to everyone and take time for yourself. Don’t be afraid to practice it.

What SEO Tasks Need To Perform Before and After Launch Website
Want To Launch Your Website? Find Out What SEO Tasks You Need To Know?
Are you going to launch a new website to impress people? There are thousands of website get live on the internet but mostly don’t know how to optimize for organic traffic and generate business. If you’re feeling stuck and want to know what SEO tasks need to perform and why SEO is important, then this guide will help you to meet your goals.
Achieving a high search engine rank is one of the top priorities for website owners and digital marketers. It boosts organic website traffic, thereby increasing brand awareness and credibility. In addition, it also helps generate leads for your business and convert them into paying customers. It is highly cost-effective and provides several long-term benefits such as reinforcing customer loyalty and audience engagement.
As you prepare to launch your site, find out what SEO Tasks you need to know? The list will will help to optimize your site for search engines and visitors alike.
Before launching your site, optimize it for search engines:
- Add a site title – Even if you’re using a logo you should add a site title, as the text may be indexed by search engines. We recommend you keep the title under 60 characters and include one or more keywords.
- Add a site description – Add a short (50-160 characters), relevant, readable description of your site. This text may appear below your site title in search results, depending on what your visitors search for.
- Add your location – Your site has a better chance of appearing in searches for your area if Google and your customers can see your location. If you have a business with a physical location, we recommend you create a Contact us page with your address and a map. Alternately, in some templates, your business information can display on your site.
- Connect a custom domain – Using a custom domain (rather than the third party URL) strengthens your brand and makes it easier for potential customers to find you in search results.
- Connect to social media – Set up social sharing to link to your social media profiles, push content as you publish it, and encourage people to share your pages.
- Add social sharing images – Social sharing images display on social media when you or someone else shares your site. Add one to represent your whole site, one for each page individually, and one for each blog post, product, and event.
- Add SEO descriptions – Ensure each page on your site has a unique SEO description. The text should be short and readable (50-160 characters), and describe the content of the page. You can also add SEO descriptions to individual blog posts, products, and events.
- Check your page and title formats – Control how your page titles appear in browser tabs, social shares, and search engine results. You can set this for page titles, the homepage, and collection items (such as blog posts or products).
- Create a custom 404 page – Customize the 404 Page with links to some of the popular or important areas of your site. This encourages visitors who encounter a broken link to stay on your site, rather than immediately going back to search results.
- Choose your blog post URL format – If you’re blogging, choose how your blog post URLs are automatically created. While you can choose any options that fit your needs, we recommend you always include the post’s title.
- Check URL slugs – It’s best to have URLs that reflect the content of the page. If you save a blog post, product, or event before adding a title, the URL slug will be a random string of characters. Check the slugs for each page and item on your site, and change any that don’t use real words.
- Ensure SSL is enabled – Confirm your SSL panel is set to the Secure setting. Sites without SSL may be penalized.
- Review your content – Ensure you’ve followed our content best practices for all pages on your site.
As soon as your site is launched, we recommend you:
- Verify your site with Google Search Console – After you’ve verified your site with Google, you can manage your site’s presence in Google search results and see how visitors find you.
- Request that Google index your site – This asks Google’s bots to review your site and update search results with your new content.
- Verify your site with Bing Webmaster Tools – Verify your site with Bing to manage your site’s presence in Bing and Yahoo search results.
- Connect to Google Analytics – Track visits and other reporting on your site through our built-in integration with Google.
- Enable AMP – If you have a blog, enabling AMP creates a stripped-down version of your site that loads faster on mobile devices.
As you add or edit content, ensure that your site stays as friendly as possible for search engines.
- Use your site’s analytics tools – Visit your site’s Google Search Keywords panel and other analytics panels, such as Other Search Keywords, Activity Log, and Traffic, to track changes to your site traffic and search engine ranking.
- Follow Google Analytics – Use our integration with Google Analytics for more visitor tracking and reporting.
- Make updates strategically – Continue optimizing your site by following our content best practices.
- Redirect changed or broken links – If you change the URL slug on a page on your site, create URL redirects to forward visitors who go to the old URL to the correct page.
- Continue updating and adding content – Updating your site frequently helps search engines see your site as the active site. One way to regularly add content to your site is to start blogging.
Content Best Practices:
As you build your site, keep in mind:
- Use keywords strategically – Include text on your site (including page titles and descriptions) that matches the search terms people will use to find sites like yours. For more help, visit Adding keywords for SEO.
- Structure your content – Structure your pages with headings to keep your text skim-friendly and help search engines navigate your content. Visit our tips for more help.
- Add alt text to images – In addition to increasing accessibility for visitors who use assertive screen readers, alt text also helps search engines identify the content of a page.
- Add social sharing images and SEO descriptions – As you add new pages to your site, give them social sharing logos and SEO descriptions.
- Give your images readable file names – Image file names may also be used as alt text. Follow our best practices when creating your image file names.
- Add tags and categories – Organize your blog posts, products, gallery images, and other content with tags and categories to help visitors navigate your site.
- Link to your site’s content – Where it’s relevant, use content links to connect the pages on your site to each other.
- Customize URL slugs – As you add pages and collection items, ensure their URLs reflect the content of the page.
- Keep your pages nimble – To ensure your site loads well, we recommend keeping images under 500 KB and overall page size under 5 MB.
Site Ranking Changes:
If you see a dip in ranking right after optimizing your site, it’s okay. It’s normal to see some fluctuations in your ranking while search engines index your changes.
If your ranking hasn’t gone up after a week or two, check Analytics to see if there are site traffic trends that might explain the dip. For example, a change in how other websites link to your site can impact your visibility. You may also want to consider updating your keywords to target different search terms.

Robotic vacuum cleaners have been around for more than a decade, so they’re not exactly the “latest” piece of technology. With each new model that hits the stores, we find ourselves becoming less in awe – high-pressure suction, Wi-Fi connectivity, multi-surface cleaning, and so on, and so on. We’re looking for something that’ll excite us!
Which is where the Deebot OZMO 920 Robotic Vacuum comes in. This disc-shaped little fella promises a ton of upgraded features which seem very promising.
But the thing that gets us excited the most is the OZMO technology that Ecovacs is oh-so-very-well-known for. Let’s check out what the OZMO 920 will pack and what sort of promises it hopes to fulfill.
|SmartHomes is supported by readers. We don't want to annoy you with display ads, but we do include links to products. When you buy with our links, we may earn a commission.|
OZMO Mopping Technology
OZMO has been one of the most recognized mopping technologies in robotic vacuum cleaners. Drawing water from a small built-in reservoir, the OZMO 920 can remove sticky residue from hard floors so you won’t have to mop after the vacuum finishes its cleaning cycle. This optional feature can be activated whenever you want.
Mops and Vacuums… Simultaneously!
Now, this is fairly new in the robotic vacuum game. In a single cleaning cycle, the OZMO 920 will mop a newly vacuumed floor in without users needing to switch between cleaning modes. It’s fair to assume that the simultaneous vacuum-and-mop feature will drain the robot’s battery quicker, but cleaning efficiency is definitely worth the tradeoff.
After all, the OZMO 920 is programmed with one of the most convenience-adding features ever, namely…
Auto-Recharge and Resume
Not a new feature at all, but it’s something that doesn’t get the love it so rightly deserves. Without lifting a finger or a smartphone, the OZMO 920 will make a beeline for its charging station upon receiving a low-battery alert.
Thanks to its new-and-improved navigations system, it will most likely be able to find its way without getting lost. After the battery has fully charged, the OZMO 920 will continue its cleaning cycle where it left off. The robot is self-reliant and waits on no one to get the job done!
Smart Navi 3.0
The OZMO 920 is packing Deebot’s latest navigations technology – Smart Navi 3.0. Released in late 2018, it’s not the latest feature to be implemented in Deebot robotic vacs, but it’s still worth noting.
The wide sensor on the OZMO 920 will continuously scan your floors in search of obstacles and create a virtual layout. Smart Navi 3.0 allows the robot to create the most efficient travel path across your floors while also avoiding collisions with whatever lay in its path. Best of all, Smart Navi 3.0 supports multi-floor mapping.
Improved Virtual Boundary
Virtual boundaries can be set via the ECOVACS Home App. This allows users to create no-go zones, forcing the robot to concentrate its cleaning within one or multiple rooms. The OZMO 920 uses an improved virtual boundary system which is programmable not just for vacuuming but also the OZMO mopping feature.
The older generation of robotic vacuum cleaners had difficulty distinguishing between hard floors and carpeting. The latter requires higher suction pressure to dislodge and remove debris from long fibers. The OZMO 920 is equipped with carpet sensors that detect which surface it’s currently on.
When waling on top of carpeting, the Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 920 will automatically increase suction power for a deeper clean.
Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 920 vs. Deebot 500
From their respective model numbers, we can safely presume that the OZMO 920 is a much newer model compared to the 500. But does newer mean better? Short answer: you bet it does. But let’s see what the 500 is packing anyways – you might be interested in the budget-friendlier option which is the Deebot 500.
|Ecovacs Deebot 500 Main Specs|
|Suction Power||1000 Pa|
|Сleaning Area||1292 ft2|
|Dust Container||520 ml|
|Battery Capacity||2600 mAH|
|Charging Time||240 min|
There is no mopping feature which is standard in older generation robots. This is not the end of the world by any means, and perhaps we should be thankful since old vacuum-mop combo-bots performed poorly in both areas.
As an older model, it won’t have many of the convenience-adding features that we know and love. For instance, the 500 does not have any version of Smart Navi. Its “primitive” sensors simply detect the presence of obstructions and cliffs to prevent robo-suicide. Also, there’s no virtual mapping system. Essentially, it’ll trek across your floors blindly in hopes of meeting dirt and crumbs to suction up.
The 500 is designed to run for 110 minutes straight – roughly the same amount of cleaning that the OZMO 930 offers. What’s missing is a resume feature to its auto-docking ability. It’ll recharge upon detecting a low battery, but you have it won’t get back to work. Commanding the robot to start vacuuming means beginning its cleaning cycle from the very beginning.
Now onto the positives. The 500, like the OZMO 930, is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Users can also give commands and program cleaning schedules using the ECOVACS HOME App. These two things together make for an ultra-convenient robot that excels at cleaning hard floors.
Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 920 vs. Deebot 711
Now onto the Deebot 711 – a robotic vac that was released in the fourth quarter of last year. We have high expectations for this robot since it’s roughly only a year old. Technology doesn’t develop that quickly, does it?
Apparently, it does. In just a year’s time, ECOVACS have adapted Smart Navi 3.0 as the standard navigations system in their modern robots. The 711 is stuck with the outdated Smart Navi 2.0. From our and many customers’ experience, there really isn’t anything to complain about. It does a good enough job at creating digital maps and efficient paths so the robot won’t cover the same area twice, and most of the time it won’t leave residual dust after the first pass.
The main difference between the 711 and OZMO 930, other than the former’s lack of an optional mopping feature, is the ability to create virtual boundaries using the ECOVACS HOME App. And since the 711 isn’t compatible with virtual walls, there’s no way to limit or focus its coverage area.
Like most modern robots, the 711’s battery can supply up to 110 minutes of continuous cleaning before the robot needs to recharge. It’ll auto-dock on its own, but it won’t resume its last cleaning task afterward. You’ll either have to use the remote control, the smartphone app, or voice commands through Alexa or Assistant to tell the robot to get back to work.
In terms of vacuuming performance, we probably won’t find any significant differences between the 711 and OZMO 920. The 711 will cover a smaller area per charge, but it’ll eventually get the job done.
Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 920 vs. 930
The OZMO 920 and 930 comes from the same generation of Deebots. Their differences are supposed to be minor, but that’s not the case here.
Taking a close look at their specs, there’s no point of difference. They’re both fitted with high-efficiency filters, are both OZMO models so have an optional mopping feature, are compatible with virtual assistants and the HOME app, and use the same Smart Navi 3.0 system. So what are the key differences?
Well, first of all, the OZMO 930 does NOT have the simultaneous vacuuming and mopping feature that the 920 does, which is quite odd considering their model numbers. This is not something to stress about, but it is a nice-to-have addition that makes the OZMO 930 stand out from the rest.
Another key difference is their respective brush designs. The OZMO 920 uses a Floating Brush 2.0 which adjusts its height based on whatever surface it’s currently cleaning. It can also reach deep into 4-mm spaces between tiles or floorboards. The OZMO 930, on the other hand, uses a simpler V-shaped brush which has been proven to be quite effective for cleaning multiple surfaces.
Overall, we conclude that the OZMO 920 is the superior model, though not by a lot. Every convenience-adding feature of the OZMO 920 can be found in the 930, except – if you want to count it – the mop-while-vacuum thing that the 920 has going for it. But since the 920 has not yet hit stores, the safer bet would be the go with the 930’s tried-and-true method of switching between both cleaning tasks.

Ecovacs Deebot OZMO 920 vs. 950
Finally, we have the OZMO 950 – another robotic vac-mop combo-bot that has yet to be released. Like the OZMO 930, all information regarding what it’s packing under its hood is available online, so any conclusions we draw may not fully represent the real deal. But anyways, let’s compare the two.
There are several minor differences between the OZMO 930 and 950 that are worth addressing. The first thing is the smartphone app. Using the ECOVACS HOME App, you can adjust how much or how little water to use based on how dusty and sticky your floors are. Water-efficient mopping hasn’t really been the focus of mop bots, but we’re guessing that it will be the latest trend thanks to the OZMO 950.
The next minute difference is the number of suction-power levels. The OZMO 920 uses two – normal and MAX for carpets – whereas the 950 has an additional power setting known as MAX PLUS. This appears to be the ideal cleaning mode for shaggy carpets and rugs which we don’t mind at all. This is a must-have feature for those of us with wall-to-wall carpeting.
And finally, perhaps the largest minor difference between the OZMO 920 and 950 is the latter’s bigger battery. On a single charge, the 950 can work for up to 200 minutes (standard power), about 1-1/2 hours longer than the 920. With the recharge and resume feature built into the robot, the 950 practically guarantees that it’ll cover an entire floor of your home in one or two charges.

Children today have grown up surrounded by technology their entire lives. Since before they are old enough to read they can pick up a tablet or smartphone and swipe at apps and games with ease. Modern kids have an intuitive understanding and ability with technology that older generations can barely imagine. The abundance of technology, however, comes with a price. Easy access to any marketplace can be a double-edged sword. The convenience and ease of use is a boost to those of us needing a quick app, but accidental purchases can cause a lot of headaches. One-click online shopping was once one of the biggest dangers our bank account faced.

Obviously the big 3 auto makers came back to news with the Congressional hearing today. This big 3 Washington show started before the Thanksgiving with the “corporate jet gate”, in which the reporters and some congressmen questioned the 3 CEOs taking corporate jets to ask for money: it like one begs for money while wearing George Armani. But I think the media coverage and the US congress acted (reacted) too much on this show.
In my mind, this is not about politics, unions vs. the car company, mid-west (Detroit, or Michigan) vs. southern states. I am thinking saving big 3 (GM, Ford, Chrysler) is critical to the US economy and manufacturing. If the big 3 fails:
1) Midwest states, esp. Michigan will be hit big. Michigan is already in trouble with declining domestic car makers, the fall of one auto maker will devastated the state.
2) American will lose the icons such as Chevrolet Corvette or Ford Mustang. Don’t think that as a minor thing, as psychology does play a role in economy, consumer sentiment and the financial market.
3) Last but not least, the impact to the US economy. The auto industry says it will pull the economy into depression. Some analyst say auto industry directly or indirectly employs 10% of US workforce. I don’t know. The number I know is domestic auto makers used to put up lots of TV ads ($7 billion annually). So go figure the impact.
4) In normal circumstances, we don’t want to bailout any company: that’s the key of capitalism, as I understand. But after the Bear Stearns, AIG and Citi Group bailout, the situation is different in two ways: the economy is gloomy, the moral hazard outcry from ordinary people put more pressure on the politicians before they put up any more taxpayer money. But this is extra-ordinary time, and we need extra-ordinary leadership, not the kind of “all hats not cattles” we usually see in Washington. Similarly the media should not just look for sensational taste of a story. Help the ordinary Joe and Jane on the main street, will you?

Fresh claims suggest Apple is in talks with audio chip partner Cirrus Logic to adapt the iPhone chipset to make the Lightning port the main audio output, in an effort to remove the headphone jack and make the iPhone 7 thinner.
Philips and Audeze have already produced headphones that use the Lightning connection on existing iPhones. Taking a digital signal from the iPhone's Lightning output, and using a third-party app, allows iPhones to support hi-res audio. Changes to the next iPhone's chip could seee iPhones play hi-res music natively, supporting rumours that Apple Music will support hi-res in 2016.
The latest report, from Fast Company, also claims new Apple Lightning headphones would launch alongside the new iPhone, no surprise there, and were likely to come with the latest noise-cancellation technology from UK brand, Wolfson. These new Lightning headphones could potentially carry the Beats branding.
Sources told What Hi-Fi? that while they hadn’t heard definite plans as yet, there were indeed strong signs that the headphone jack will either be reduced in size or removed altogether. Previous reports suggested Apple was working on a new D-shaped connector or even a pair of wireless "AirPods". Either way, it seems you won’t be able to use your regular headphones with the next iPhone 7 - and, presumanly, other subsequent iOS devices.
If true, it could make dedicated portable music players, such as those from Astell & Kern and Sony, more desirable - not least if you've spent a large amount of money on a pair of high-end headphones.
It wouldn't be the first time Apple had dumped certain connections and formats from its devices, having done away with the old 30-pin connection on iPods and iPhones, not to mention the optical disc drive on the MacBook Air.

If there’s one artist that’s been absolutely smashing it this year, it’s been Daddy’s Groove. If it’s not the infectious groove that catches you, it’s an electrifying sample that keeps your feet moving and blood pumping. His latest release, “Basement”, is no exception and my favorite track he’s put out this year. Take one listen and you’ll hear why.
The groove will capture you immediately as a craftily cut vocal sample rides forefront, leading you strait to a thunderous drop. The songs breaks down with another seemingly old school vocal, building perfectly to the final climactic drop that goes above and beyond all expectations.
Daddy’s Groove yet again produced another hit record, as “Basement” is a tune you can expect to be dancing to all night long. Listen below and grab a copy here!

Another thread died for this.
>>631377Whenever i make an animation on sfm it turns out worse than when i use 3ds max, i dont get why though because i can play with the graph editor on sfm the same way i can with 3ds max
>>631452Bad interpolation algorithms? Does it happen if you import the very same animation into SFM? (I don't even know if that's possible with SFM.)
>>631452>using anything other than maya or sfm for animation
>>631474animating with maya and 3ds max feels the same though
>>631377CRASHING YOUR PROJECTWITH NO BACKUPS
>>631377for me it crashed once in 25 hours of playtime which is acceptableand it autosaves so ...
So why excactly did they discontinue its development when game-engine rendering is becoming a strong fad in the animation business?
>>632303Valve barely even maintains DOTA2, a gigantic money cow which is the height of esports every year. They managed to let its PAID MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE fall into complete unworkable disrepair in less than three months.
>*applies giant veiny dicks to every model*>*creates 3frame looped animation*>HA HA! TIME FOR PATREON
>>631377Why Blender interface cant be like SFM, anons ?SFM is really newbie friendly & easy to use, Also hard to master.See Self Drilling SMS videos for example, its 100% SFM. No blender crap.
>>632364*Steal your animation and make it a 10 minute loop with shitty audio and posts it in a compilation on pornhub*Alternatively *Steals your animation to make a stupid ad with obnoxious text like "click to cum on her ass! Or "you won't last 3 minutes playing this game!*
>>632332sfm could even be a semi-professional software if some, and by some i mean a lot, of work was put into it, but fuck no let's just make it a hassle to do anything complicated in it and have no compatibility with any other software whatsoever if not through the work of a few saints who gave up their life to understand the inscrutable secrets of source, valve is falling more and more into the bethesda way of taking the userbase's work for granted and thinking it's being thankful and inclusive of their hard work.
>>632492Thanks, I thought I was the only one who finds this incredibly annoying
>>632492That's why content creators should always watermark their videos. If they get stolen and used in a compilation, at least they get some exposure.
>>632726But those content creators is stole the models from the game though.
>>632492tfw your animations never show up in compilationsfeels bad
>>632907They stole heads, and joined them to daz body models
>>634944I'm not sure if you are trying to make a point, but both of those acts are misappropriation.

The favorable geostrategic position of Azerbaijan, the formation of regional and international transport corridors in our republic as a result of the purposeful policy pursued by the President of Azerbaijan and the transformation of Baku into a large transport and logistics center have created new opportunities for our country in terms of transportation and delivery of international electronic commodity goods. Using these opportunities, the project is currently underway in the area of functioning of the Azerbaijani Post as a regional transit mail center (HUB) for the implementation of interstate electronic commerce.
For this purpose, a cooperation agreement was signed between Azerpost LLC and Silk Way Airline, which has extensive international aviation capabilities, and started operating in July 2016.
The project envisages the delivery of e-commerce products from China to the main cargo hub of the world through the local courier company operating in this country through the Silk Way Airline and imported to Azerbaijan and transmitted to the CIS and other countries as mail by Azerpost . Thus, the post size is transited to 17 countries (USA, Germany, Austria, Belarus, Great Britain, Czech Republic, France, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Spain, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine). .
At the same time, the EMS items sent from the US and Germany are sent to the Russian Federation through the Azerpost LLC on the basis of a contract signed between the EMS service of Azerpost and the Estonian postal service. At present, negotiations are underway with other companies operating in China, South Korea and Singapore as part of the project expansion, and in the near future, e-commerce products are expected to be shipped to overseas markets in larger volumes.

There are many ways to practice yoga. Seva, is one.
In 1997 I became a volunteer at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Lenox, MA. I was offered room & board in return for my service. Mostly, I worked as a Faculty Assistant. Other times I was on the production team for the larger weekend conferences. Eventually, I became attached to the Inner Quest Intensive (IQI), Kripalu’s signature self-discovery program. For 10+ years I led the Kripalu hatha yoga practice and served as a Facilitator with this life-changing program.
Then in 2008 Kripalu’s governing body decided that faculty volunteers like myself were no longer needed and they began to remove us from the program rooms. It was a significant change for those who remember, and my time at Kripalu was greatly reduced. The few of us who were attached to specific master teachers/programs were allowed to continue and I was grateful. The IQI was offered three times a year and that would have to be enough seva at Kripalu.
In 2015, Kripalu cancelled the IQI and soon thereafter cancelled all other remaining volunteer opportunities. This decision signaled a significant course correction for Kripalu Center.
Aside from the yoga experience, knowledge, practice and karma points I gained over 15 years of service at Kripalu, what was so unexpectedly rewarding was the experience of living together with others on the same path, to be a part of a spiritual community where like-mind and like-spirit came together.
So, last December, when the days were short and the nights were long I responded to a call for volunteers at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Florida. In early March a call came and I have been invited to practice Seva there during the first weeks of May!
For those in the know, AYI was established by Amrit Desai, the guru who introduced Kripalu Yoga to the USA. This means that the practices, philosophy, and methodologies will be consistent with everything I have learned thus far and for that I am grateful, and so excited, and terrified too. And, he will be on the campus during my stay.
Florida is not as easy as driving to the Berkshires, and this pitta person hates hot weather, but I am honored and grateful to be invited to this campus to experience Gurudev’s wisdom for myself.
Jai Bhagwan. Namaste. Om shanti.
to be continued.

Placing an opera in present day society is a poignant but risky decision. With settings and events that the audience can readily identify, the emotional impact of the opera is more immediate; however, overt commentary on the very current lives of an audience can backfire.
It is far easier to hide acerbic social commentary and political dissent within the remoteness of a period drama. The mirror held up to the audience is opaque, foggy; they only barely recognize themselves and their world in the reflection. But if you clean the glass and turn off the safety, the truth shines too brightly for many to tolerate.
In The Long Walk, a new opera commissioned by the American Lyric Theater with libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann and an inchoate score by Jeremy Howard Beck, the wounds of the very recent Iraq War are on raw display. Founded in 2005, ALT is dedicated to the development of new works and the nurturing and mentoring of the next generation of opera writers. In 2007, the company initiated its Composer Librettist Development Program (CLDP), a full-time resident artist program that fosters the talents of writers and composers who will be penning the next generation of new operatic repertoire. In January 2013, ALT was the only company to be awarded two Repertoire Development Grants by OPERA America; The Long Walk received one and La Reina, by Laura Sosa Pedroza and Jorge Sosa, received the other.
Based on Brian Castner’s celebrated memoir of the same name, published in 2012, the opera tells Castner’s experiences as a bomb technician in the Iraq War and how he copes with life in the blurred, shell-shocked aftermath. It’s a compelling, relevant story that concentrates on the inner lives of the characters, who are caught up in one of the most defining moments of the 21st century. The work is still in the early stages of development, but it is already shaping up to be a testimony of our interesting times.
ALT’s “The Living Libretto” series gives the resident artists an opportunity to hear their work-in-progress and to receive criticism and feedback from their fellow resident artists, ALT faculty, industry professionals, and an audience of dedicated opera-goers. The February 6 reading of The Long Walk, the third in the series, lasted forty-five minutes and gave a rarely witnessed insight into the creative process of libretto writing. The text, just half the length of today’s already truncated straight plays, is carefully sculpted to allow for agency of the music. Ten professional actors – not opera singers – brought the story, rough patches and moments of glimmering promise, to life.
A post-reading discussion moderated by founder and producing artistic director, Lawrence Edelson, focused on bringing together the creative forces of Fleischmann and Beck with the audience. Participants were guided by Edelson through choreographer Liz Lerman’s “Critical Response Method,” which colored the discussion with a vibrant intimacy and positivity as audience members and the creators asked each other questions, gave opinions, and revealed what about the work resonated with them.
The discussion participants contributed valuable feedback, constructive and laudatory, the evening’s most effective comment was contributed by a friend of Brian Castner, who had served alongside the officer in Iraq. “You were able to capture exactly how it is to be over there, and how difficult it is to adjust to being home,” he told Fleischmann.
Opera goers will have a chance to see and hear more of The Long Walk this June, when selections from the work will be performed at ALT’s inaugural festival, InsightALT.

Billie is very punctual & career-oriented, and easily becomes frustrated with people who do not share her strict work ethic, such as Jackie. In fact, she agrees to testify against Jackie at the government's surprise trial against Bear purely for this reason.
- The two neon-blue scalene triangles Billie wears on her lapels are her signature, and are the only things that identify her as a dark netrider.
- Billie may be what was meant by the line "the indigo triangles are a warning sign" from HtS Colors, as she is always trouble in one way or another whenever Franco or Henri are involved with her.
- ↑ On the way to the Board Room, Henri tells Franco, "to Billie, Jackie is just another one of Jackie's Jackie's Girls"
- ↑ Henri warns Franco in the Auditorium that "some people are so powerful it's best not to get involved with them at all--and I'm not talking about Jackie"; this comes right before the scene in which it is possible to meet Billie

The journey began when our client came to us with their vision of a custom dream home after finding the lot in Blue River, CO they wanted to build on.
They wanted to build on a ridge line at the very top of a steep, tree covered, north-facing lot which required a long double switchback drive to get to the building site.
This was our first impression of the lot in Blue River in 2017.
We started the design process by spending time with our clients to get to know them so that we could design a house to meet their needs.
Then we drafted a rough sketch of their home.
This house design captured the views of Baldy Mountain, down valley and the Blue River feeding in to Goose Pasture Tarn.
The house stepped up the rocky ridge line like a modern day Machu Picchu. The steep site led to a 3-story plan and the need for an elevator.
The virtual model shows the mountain modern design with dominant shed roofs and clear story windows:
The interior plans were designed to maximize the breathtaking views and capture the light.
With the design phase well under way, we worked with our clients to select a general contractor, setting up interviews and site visits. These clients entrusted Decker Custom Homes with the construction of their home. Great choice!
Construction started in the spring of this year with the driveway excavated.
The footers were placed during this site visit in July 2020.
Check back in a few weeks to see how the house is progressing.

Recently, I posted a story about a couple of volunteers in New Jersey who showed up in frigid temperatures to pick up trash. Today, there’s another story about New Jersey volunteers who did not let weather stop them from doing important environmental volunteer work. This time, volunteers showed up in the rain to clean an area along the Jersey shore, just south of Atlantic City. The South Jersey Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation led the effort in Ventnor, where even the mayor pitched in and helped out. This great event proves again that dedicated volunteers will not let bad weather stop them from helping their community and the planet.
If you have enjoyed any of the stories on my blog, I hope you’ll consider downloading my eBook, Being Where You Are: How environmental Volunteers Impact their Community and the Planet Every Day:

Researchers in human (and veterinary) medicine are always on the lookout for new drugs, medical procedures, and life-style changes that will improve their ability to bring better health to patients. For each one, they must establish whether it truly represents an improvement from what was used before.
In a typical retrospective study, the health profiles of the subjects in a particular "case" group (e.g. smokers) are compared with those in a control group that has been selected to be as similar as possible to the "case" group (similar spread of ages, sex, etc.). Retrospective studies are also called "case-control" studies. Retrospective studies run the risk of investigator bias; that is, the investigator picks subjects that are most likely to show the effect that prompted the study in the first place.
A prospective study selects a population in good health and meeting any other desired criteria (e.g., smoking habits) and follows it over a period of years to see what happens to its members. Prospective studies are also known as "cohort studies".
Where it is possible to do them, clinical trials represent the "gold standard" for evaluation. In performing a clinical trial (e.g. of a new, and possibly better, drug), the investigator
- assembles a group of subjects picked to be as similar as possible in their characteristics (to avoid "confounding variables")
- assigns them randomly to the experimental group and a "control" group
- performs the experiment on the first group. It is best to do this in a "double-blind" fashion; that is neither the subject nor the experimenterknows who is getting the treatment and who is not.
- the subjects in the dark avoids the placebo effect; a response (often quite powerful) that is not due to the treatment but to the expectations of the subject;
- the experimenter in the dark avoids bias in the evaluation of the results. So, for example, a microscopist examining a slide of tissue should not know whether it came from an experimental subject or a control.
Analyzing the Data
The data acquired in any type of clinical study must be evaluated to see if any effect seen is significant.

Continuation of my series of urban infrastructure and landscapes. This drive-in closed about 2.5 years ago. Land owners and theatre owner couldn’t come to terms on a new lease. I only went once in the 30 years I’ve lived here. Wish I could remember which movies I saw. I do remember they were still using the speakers that you hung over your car window. Will definitely head back over there soon to create more images.
One of my favorite things to do while in unfamiliar places is to photograph the streets and explore. I was recently in Hermosillo,Mexico for my TEOE show and had a couple days to just explore. I found myself walking through some back streets with some friends when we happened upon a business were Coyotas were being prepared. We were invited in and allowed to photograph the process. I am always amazed how friendly everyone is in other countries. Also these Coyotas are amazing!
The Coyotas are a popular type of Mexican sugar cookie. The first recipes for them date back to the 19th century and coyotas are frequently thought to originate in a region of Mexico known as Sinaloa. Contemporary recipes for coyotas can often be found throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States. The typical batch of coyotas yields cookies that are larger and flatter than other kinds of sugar cookies and they are traditionally flavored with brown, rather than white granulated, sugar.
Looking forward to an amazing show in Hermosillo,Mexico on January 23rd. Here are some of the details of the show:
The images of Phoenix photographers David Moore and Jason Grubb, and Hermosillo photographers Juan Rubalcava II and Luis Gutiérrez will be on display at the Museum of Art of Sonora (MUSAS) from January 23 – February 28, 2014. The opening night reception of this 80-print exhibit will be held at MUSAS in Hermosillo beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday (Jan. 23). Come join us to celebrate our eighth photo exchange with photographers from Sonora!
Camerawerks just had the pleasure working with Gold Canyon Candle on there Fall 2013 catalog. We spent 10 days shooting a variety of images in our studio at Legend City. Everything from minimal product photography to more complex room sets. Here are some of our favorite photographs from the shoot.Its always amazing to work with such a professional crew and get so much accomplished. A special thanks goes out to the team from Gold Canyon Candle, Blackwell Design and Ron Garnica. If you would like to see the whole catalog or get some amazing candles you can view everything at:

A casual observer might be surprised to learn that Goldman Sachs has held an opinion on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. As early as March 2014, a Goldman put out a report that suggested, “bitcoin likely can’t work as a currency, but … the ledger-based technology that underlies it could hold promise.” In the heat of the bull market of 2017 and 2018, Goldman Sachs flipped their opinion and put out a 9 page report entitled “Bitcoin as Money” where they concluded that in theory, bitcoin could succeed as a form of money, particularly in emerging markets.
In fact, they were so excited about bitcoin that at the time they were considering launching a bitcoin trading desk — a move proclaimed to be a massive step forward for Wall Street’s adoption of the asset class. The story became an instant media hit as finance executives left Wall Street for crypto and bank analysts predicted record highs for bitcoin.
That sentiment was short-lived, however. After the collapse of the crypto market in 2018, Goldman released another report entitled “(Un)Steady As She Goes” which famously stated “We expect further declines in the future given our view that these cryptocurrencies do not fulfill any of the three traditional roles of a currency.” The crypto market fizzled out, Wall Street seemed to lose interest, and Goldman Sachs abandoned plans to open a bitcoin trading desk.
Fast forward to May 2020, and Goldman is back again with another report on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Goldman Sachs’ most recent crypto report
Last Wednesday, Goldman Sachs held an investor call to discuss their policies for bitcoin, gold, and inflation in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and current economic climate. Covid-19 has led to an unprecedented global economic crisis and financial market turmoil, with the IMF calling it the worst recession since the Great Depression. Unemployment is skyrocketing, companies are missing their earnings statements, and traditional investments are taking a hit across the board. Investors worldwide are scrambling to find safe havens to park their assets. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has fully recovered fully since the March 12 crash.
The call was first announced to Goldman clients two weeks ago, and on the heels of growing momentum from mainstream financial institutions, had many in the crypto community expecting bullish sentiment. Could it be that the stalwart bank was going to signal to the rest of the world that recent economic events due to Covid-19 have finally persuaded them to endorse bitcoin as a hedge against inflation? The crypto world was beyond excited, and bitcoin’s price spiked nearly 5% to $9,200 a few hours before the call.
Was this finally the moment, after so many years, where Goldman fully embraced bitcoin?
Unfortunately, nothing close to that transpired, and the crypto world did not get what it wanted. Goldman Sachs made it abundantly clear that they are no fan of bitcoin and do not consider it an asset class.
What many in the crypto world found particularly disturbing, however, was the plethora of misconceptions, flawed arguments, and surface-level analysis present in Goldman’s report.
Here are 5 key things they got wrong:
1.“Cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin are not an asset class because they 1) Do not generate cash flow like bonds; 2) Do not generate any earnings through exposure to global economic growth; 3) Do not provide consistent diversification benefits given their unstable correlations; 4) Do not dampen volatility given historical volatility of 76% (On March 12, 2020, the price of Bitcoin fell 37% in one day); and 5) Do not show evidence of hedging Inflation”
Bitcoin is clearly not fixed income, nor is it equity. No one has been making this argument for bitcoin, and the fact that an asset doesn’t generate cash flows by itself does not also disqualify itself as an asset class. Bitcoin does not generate cash flows which is no different than all commodity assets like cattle, oil, gold, corn, etc. As an argument, the lack of cash flows eliminates crypto as an asset class, even ignoring the plethora of digital assets and cryptocurrencies that do accrue value or provide cashflow-like opportunities tied to economic activity through staking or burning mechanisms.
The secondary arguments are somewhat technical in nature, but generally speak to a perspective on the suitability of cryptocurrencies in an investment portfolio rather than the intrinsic nature of an asset class. Their arguments are somewhat contrived, as depending on your time frame and data set, an allocation to bitcoin would provide portfolio diversification, with lower correlations and reduced volatility.
2. “We believe that a security whose appreciation is primarily dependent on whether someone else is willing to pay a higher price for it is not a suitable investment for our clients.”
All investments are predicated on the idea that someone else will pay a higher price for the same asset in the future. That is precisely what makes an investment suitable. As noted by Tom Masojada, co-founder of OVEX Digital Asset Exchange,
“Gold does not generate cashflows. Art does not generate cashflows. Many investments that Goldman labels as ‘suitable for clients’ do not generate cashflows and are primarily dependent on on whether someone is willing to pay a higher price at a later date.”
Perhaps the point Goldman was trying to make here is that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are generally not backed by anything and have no fundamentals, which again shows a lack of diligence. Instead of doing proper research to understand crypto-native fundamentals like user activity, developer behavior, block rewards, dapp development, exchange liquidity and hashrate, Goldman is trying to apply the same models it uses for assets like stocks and bonds to cryptocurrency.
3. “Though individual cryptocurrencies have limited supplies, cryptocurrencies as a whole are not a scarce resource. For example, three of the largest six cryptocurrencies are forks — i.e., nearly identical clones — of Bitcoin (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV).”
This single point highlights their fundamental lack of understanding of the crypto space. Not only does it ignore the actual differences between Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV, on both a technical and cultural level, but it also assumes that demand for all cryptocurrencies is made equal. It is almost akin to suggesting that all Monet’s are worthless because anyone can put oil on canvas.
Moreover, forks are their own assets and are in no way perfect equivalents or copies of the original. Each of these networks is operated by unique communities that cannot simply be copied and pasted. There is a reason there is only one Bitcoin network.
A more thoughtful critique here would have been that forks do often compete for miners, which could impact the security of these networks. However, there is not a single mention of miners in the Goldman Sachs report.
4. “Despite that most cryptocurrency ledgers are permanent and auditable public records, cryptocurrencies nevertheless abet illicit activities such as Ponzi schemes, ransomware, money laundering, and darknet markets.”
This argument again is relatively trite. People and institutions conduct criminal activity. Criminals will use whatever medium of exchange is most useful and transferrable, and the US Dollar far outstrips cryptocurrency in terms of its use in illicit activities. “Although virtual currencies are used for illicit transactions, the volume is small compared to the volume of illicit activity through traditional financial services” noted US Department of the Treasury, Jennifer Fowler. Cash is still king for illicit purchases and money laundering, yet there are no calls to ban the US Dollar.
Moreover, Goldman Sachs itself is no stranger to involvement in illicit activity, spending billions of dollars in settlement fees for its own illicit activity. If nothing else, the illicit activity conducted through Bitcoin only further indicates the usefulness as a medium of payment and unit of value similar to the US Dollar and Goldman Sachs’ own banking infrastructure.
At least Bitcoin is public, permanent, and auditable. The same cannot be said for the US Dollar or Goldman Sachs.
5. “In late 2017, as discussed in our 2018 Outlook, cryptocurrencies moved beyond bubble levels in financial markets and even beyond levels seen during the Dutch “tulipmania” between 1634 and early 1637. We have compared bitcoin and ether, two of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, to the Gouda variety of tulip bulbs and to the equity bubbles in the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and the TOPIX.”
The analogy is purposefully used to enforce the narrative that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are purely a fad like tulips were in the 1600’s. The technical argument is fair in so much as the price of bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies skyrocketed in a relatively short period of time and at a rate far greater than any before seen in human history. The bubble was bad for those that bought at the top, but those that bought two years prior to the peak are still quite content now.
For those that care about the future, Bitcoin, unlike Tulips, is a new technology that has the potential to disrupt entire monetary systems and industries on a global scale. The way we perceive the future of money and digital currency has already drastically changed thanks to Bitcoin.
By considering it unsuitable for its investors, has Goldman Sachs risked causing its investors to miss out on one of the best performing asset classes?
Time will tell. In the meantime, the crypto community will work harder than ever to communicate a coherent and compelling case for bitcoin to the rest of the world.

The goal of using job description templates is to save time and keep your job descriptions uniform. But behind the convenience lurk some very real hazards if you’re not careful.
The trick is to never regard a job description template as the real-deal for all your job requirements. You must always be willing to tailor the template to suit the immediate prerequisites of the job as it currently stands, even if you’ve hired for the same position recently. It’s also significant to note that templates aren’t always the best solution for every vacancy that you have, but that doesn’t mean that you must exclude them from your recruitment tools.
Knowing the difference between a customized internal job description and a job description template that’s been compiled in a generic format to guide clients across different sectors is another critical factor. As with most things in life, there are pros and cons to consider, so let’s put those into perspective.
Pros of job description templates
- They provide a uniform framework for all job descriptions.
- They look professional and create an excellent first impression for candidates.
- They clearly spell out the job requirements to prospective applicants
- They make the initial selection and elimination of applicants easier.
- They speed up the interview process because candidates know what to expect.
- They provide hiring managers with a clear guideline of the general requirements of a role.
Cons of job description templates
- They are a guideline and have to be tailored to suit each specific role.
- They are generic, so vital nuances particular to each business are missing.
- They can eliminate quality candidates because descriptions are too general.
- They can mislead applicants if descriptions are too broad, leading to lots of unsuitable applications that have to be rejected.
- They can come across as insincere, especially if the same template is used, unchanged, over and over again (even if you change the job title).
- They aren’t suitable for all roles, even if they are tailored.
Where do they work best?
If you have many similar vacancies, like in a call center, admin, or sales environment, then job templates are a life-saver. They can help when it comes to saving time and getting your vacancy represented professionally across multiple platforms. With a bit of fine-tuning, you’ll get the job template to match your requirements and attract the type of candidates you want.
Tailor your templates when you’re looking to fill a vacancy that has more detailed job requirements, like support, technical, or even middle management roles, you can still use job description templates successfully. What you’ll have to do though is spend some time tailoring the template to match the precise requirements of your business or department. Depending on your organizational structure, it can be a good idea to distribute the job description template, as is, to current employees in those roles. Ask them each to tailor it to what they think the job description should be.
In some instances including the future peers of the successful candidate can also be very helpful because they see the role from a different perspective to that of management. Once everyone is done tailoring the generic job description template, you’ll be able to come up with a very accurate job description.
Avoid templates for senior level roles
Job templates don’t work well for specialized and senior to executive management roles. Although these roles will have some general responsibilities, most of the requirements will be unique to the industry as well as the business. The danger of using job description templates for these type of roles is that you can end up putting out a job advert that doesn’t attract the candidates that you want. Any template is restricting, and when it comes to job adverts at this level, you need to include enough specific information to attract the best talent, but you want to add options so that candidates don’t think it’s a waste of time applying.
Specialized and senior to executive management vacancies almost always require candidates with substantial experience and most people would’ve gained this experience across a number of jobs. If your job advert comes across as restrictive, many potentially suitable candidates might not want to apply. People who are employed in jobs with hard to find skills or experience, or at a very senior level, won’t apply for just any vacancy they see. They’ll only move for a reason, and that reason is that the job advert drew and held their attention for long enough to make them contemplate, and actually make an application.
Templates as a vital tool
Job description templates are a vital tool for any hiring manager, so don’t exclude them. But know that they aren’t a quick-fix. Never use any template without reviewing it carefully to ensure that it has all the requirements you need and excludes those you don’t. You also want the job description to reflect your business and not come across as a cold, flat document, so make sure to weave your brand into the text to bring it to life.
Spend a bit of time on each template you use to liven it up and make it engaging. Don’t forget to carefully consider the job title and ensure it’s an accurate reflection of the job and your business. If you pass on this advice, you could fall victim to the old saying ‘hire in haste, repent at leisure!’
Remember too that there’s life after the hiring process, so a job description doesn’t disappear after a candidate becomes an employee; it becomes part of the legal contract between employer and employee. A well-written job description sets the rules and the guidelines for successful employees, but it mustn’t stifle innovation or their ability to improve. A poorly written job description, on the other hand, can result in any of a multitude of problems, from hiring the wrong candidate to losing your best candidate because they’re unclear of what’s expected from them.

These can be tailored and compiled simultaneously to ensure that you include all the correct job requirements, and also include pertinent questions that will make the screening and interview process more manageable.

A journey of 1,000 steps has many opportunities for success and failure. In the case of a building, that 1,000-step journey can be exciting and fulfilling; however, I think we can all agree that the best journeys start by taking the right steps at the very beginning.
We have often worked with building owners who have little interest in returning their building to its “commissioned” state. That’s because the system never worked correctly, even from the time of commissioning. There are a myriad of reasons, from fundamental design flaws to value engineering cutting out critical aspects, but fundamentally the systems have never worked well. The initial, somewhat standard operating methodology for commissioning only looks at a sampling of points because it is too expensive to test them all. And without catching all issues in commissioning, the chances of a misstep that later compounds massively in the journey are high for new buildings, and it is even higher for retrofits where commissioning is sometimes not even performed.
This is the genesis for the idea of a building management system (BMS) cloud integrator (cloud integrator for short). Cloud integrators for buildings —of which BuildingIQ is now the first in North America— can be a bit of a unicorn. Instead of just BMS expertise, they need to have data analytics expertise. And instead of just being a data insights company, they have to know the ins and outs of actually installing a BMS that serves the needs of the client. In other words, the Cloud Integrator brings years of expertise on the ground to augment the science in the cloud. Choosing to retrofit a system with a Cloud Integrator is a purposeful, bold first step in creating smart buildings.
At BuildingIQ, we leverage machine learning, patented algorithms, and artificial intelligence to provide services to existing buildings. The technology and market are ready —using standardized data formats and protocols like time series trended data, installation, maintenance and service data, and the BACnet protocol. With cloud integration, companies like ours design and implement the BMS so that it is cloud-ready.
The BuildingIQ Journey looks like this:
In the end, what a cloud integrator does is get your building started on the journey the right way. Even more, cloud integrators embed the processes, connections, and services to enable remote diagnosis/analysis and guidance up front — so your building either does not drift at all or drifts far less than a comparable building. This equals huge savings.
Finally, if you step back a bit, what has a cloud integrator done? First, they have set up a flexible, future-ready building that is properly integrated with key cloud services from day one. Second, squint a little and you realize the BMS is one, big IoT-type network – cloud-monitored or optionally controlled. The cloud integrator has just created a Building IoT (BIoT) system. Third, the architecture supports the addition of multiple network connections or IoT devices either through cloud-to-cloud API integration or embedding gateway software into the Appliance.
With cloud integration and integrators, you are taking the right first steps, and setting up your building for staying on the right path in the long term.

How to prepare for a tattoo? Yes, I know you tried several web pages to get on a clear idea about this topic. But, You couldn’t find. Finally, You came to the right webpage on search results.
In this article, we covered everything related to “How to prepare for a tattoo” and to get easy on the topic we talk about both What to do before getting a tattoo?, How to prepare for a tattoo on tattooing day?. So, Let’s start,
It’s not as easy to have a tattoo as giving an artist permission to draw and poke their needles into your flesh. A tattoo is a permanent mark in your skin that you will wear for a long time, so you should think carefully before you get a tattoo.
While there are methods to remove a tattoo now, it is costly and painful, and of course, you have to avoid as much as possible going through this process.
Talk about why you want to have a tattoo before subjecting yourself under the needles. You are going to wear this label for a long time, or maybe for a lifetime, so you need to know the reason and the message you want to send before you get a tattoo.
Having a tattoo is a choice for a lifetime, and you can stop rushing to get one and then later on regretting having a tattoo you don’t want. Here are some things you need to know before you get a tattoo.
Before you have your tattoo, you must be of legal age, and you must stick to that to avoid getting into trouble with the law. The legal age is usually 18 years old, but before you get your tattoo, check with your country or state also.
There are different things you should keep in mind when preparing yourself before you get a permanent tattoo:
To get a clear idea about this topic, let’s divide “How to prepare for a tattoo” for two parts, that are,
- What to do before getting a tattoo
- How to prepare for a tattoo on tattooing day?
In this article, you can read both parts.
So, let’s start the topic of “How to prepare for a tattoo” by step wise.
13 Steps of What to Do Before Getting a Tattoo?
1. Ask yourself – Why should I get a tattoo?
Keep in mind that there are no good or poor answers, whether it is because you want to be a living representation of something profound and significant, or simply because you like the look of tattoos, there is one rule you have to own that. Everything you get, make sure it refers to who you are.
2. Have a chat with your boss
Your tattoo will affect your career tremendously. Check with your manager or hr to see if there are any laws about tattoos in your place of work. Over the last decade, these laws have been increasingly relaxed, but it never hurts to test.
3. Speak to your love
Having any feedback from the most influential person in your life is also a good idea. If that person hates tattoos, each day, you’ll fire a reminder of your lack of care in front of that person. Have a short talk about what to do before you walk into the store.
4. A tattoo is permanent, but it will also change
What your tattoo appears as you visit the shop isn’t what it feels like five years from now. Some blowouts and seeping are common due to the structure of human skin when the ink gets soaked into it. This means which, over time, you can expect the thinner linework to become much bolder or a little more blurred.
Blowout is more common in some parts of the body, such as the feet and hands. If your design needs small, precise lines, then it’s maybe best to avoid your first time around those areas.
Some colors on your design can fade after a while, as well. Additionally, because of the unpredictability of the healing process, your tattoo will start to look a little patchy. Most tattoo artists give free or low-cost touch-ups of their work, so don’t be afraid to ask for another session.
5. Today trends on a tattoo, will not a trend on tomorrow
Whenever a specific tattoo design is trendy, think critically about the actual science behind how it will settle down to the skin. Fine line tattoos, for example, are all the rage now, the delicate and elegant look. They do leave little room for human error, however, and fade faster than more conventional tattoos.
Another fashionable theme, aquarelle tattoos, is a point of contention within the ink culture. The problem with them comes with age, too. Watercolor tattoo designs appear to lack bold lines, and as they age may cause the color to fade and blur in a way that looks hideous, well.
6. Think and plan about your tattoo design
This is also one of the major parts of “How to prepare for a tattoo”. Don’t hurry to pick a pattern for the tattoo. Don’t. Just not. As soon as the tattoo artist applies the last drop of ink, you may regret it. You will have to spend a lot of time studying the concept. You should google search all sorts of tattoos and come up with ideas. Even you can get a tattoo artist to help with the design. The latter is recommended, especially if you want a truly personal design.
Users also go in for specific designs for tattoos. Like passages in the Bible, the names of loved ones, personal mantras, and symbols reflecting their lives. Yet you do not necessarily go the significant path.
The main thing is to go with a tattoo design that you do not regret and will not be ashamed of.
In short, there’s something you should be proud of, even if this is merely a copied template. Let’s face it; there are very nice designs that already exist on the skins of others out there, which can be easily viewed via google. So if you consider the style you want already tattooed, go for it. You may ask the artist to make a few customizations, if you like, to make it slightly different.
Still, go for an original and more personal style where possible. For other people, it does not have to make sense. So long as you know it makes sense, go with it. Again, do not be afraid when it comes to architecture, to ask artists for their opinion. They are more than happy to have feedback.
7. Study about tattoo placement
This is the most important part of ” “How to prepare for a tattoo”. Deciding where the tattoo you want goes hand-in-hand with choosing the style. Other designs are ideally suited to different parts of the body.
The size of the pattern also defines where the tattoo is located. For example, a landscape showing a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji works better on the upper back, while somebody’s portrait looks great on either the chest (for men) or the triceps.
You may want to get tattooed in places usually covered in clothing if you want your tattoo to be a private thing and don’t want other relatives to pester you with pointy questions at family reunions.
Whether you want us to marvel at your vivid tattoos, on the other hand, feel free to get them on normally exposed areas such as forearms and hands.
8. Learn about tattoo body pain chart
Chances are you already know where not to get your tattoo for the first time, but let’s go over it just to make sure that in the middle of the session, you don’t fall out of your chair with anything more like a dirty scratch than a tattoo. Yikes: Yikes.
Typically speaking, the least painful places to get a tattoo are the ones we reveal most often; forearms, calves, shoulders, and back. The darker the skin, the less comfortable it is, so it’s best to stay away from the first creases of the armpits, breasts, ribs, and elbows.
9. Know your skin allergies
Yes. when considering “How to prepare for a tattoo”. This is also one of the major parts. Because, When you have a documented skin reaction, however mild it might be, be sure to consult a doctor first as to whether it would be a good idea to have a tattoo.
You will never really know how the skin will respond to being poked with several needles and having injected chemicals into it before the ordeal is through. If the doctor says no, but you still want the tattoo to go ahead, be prepared to take full responsibility, should it all go wrong.
Tattoos may have various forms of allergic reactions. Others only cause mild and manageable itchiness or irritation to the skin. Others cause swelling or rashes. It can also cause tiny lumps to form around the tattooed area.
Also, if you don’t have a history of skin allergies or allergies in general, paying careful attention to how your body responds when getting tattooed would be wise. As soon as you notice anything strange, call a timeout. And don’t hesitate to abort the plan, if need be.
10. Study your artist portfolio and credibility
Once you decide on a particular tattoo artist, make sure you’ve done some homework on his history. In particular, its portfolio. Artists usually showcase their work inside the tattoo shop to allow customers to gauge their skills immediately.
As well, the Internet has made it much easier for people to look into musicians. People can easily search on social media sites and forums for feedback and reviews.
Nevertheless, not all artists are experts in tattoo designs of all kinds. Some artists are specialized in aquarelle and abstract designs, which are very common among the young. Some are trained in traditional Japanese tattoos or tattoos in black and white.
11. Have a chat with your tattoo artist
Although you will have it set in stone as to what particular style, size, and positioning you want, not all three aspects will always work together well. They know best! Listen to your maker! Because certain tattoos can be too complex to be as tiny and dainty as you would like them to be.
Don’t be afraid to speak out! Make it clear that you are not able to alter aspects of the tattoo … if you don’t speak up, you can end up with something you didn’t like, and something that’s there forever.
12. Visit Tattoo shop
Checking out the parlor before you have your tattoo is never a bad idea because it helps you to see the studio’s cleanliness, the quality of the artwork on the wall, and whether the workers have positive vibes.
Also, it’s a good idea to inquire about prices and make sure you ask any other questions you’re uncertain about before you book – most places need a deposit, and you don’t want to risk your money if there are items you don’t like or don’t know about on the day!
If there is no sign of gloves, and there are needles for single-use, get out of there, quick time.
13. Finally, remember that Tattooing isn’t cheap
There’s no decent cheap tattoo artist, which is decent! Even the ones that are (usually) inexpensive are not the best.
Prices depend on your tat’s size, area, and ink color, ranging from £ 40 for a small tattoo anywhere, with bigger ones eating up a huge bundle of your savings. So be prepared to pay the cost and always check before making your reservation, so there are no surprises on the day.
After having a conclusion about tattooing,
18 Steps of How to Prepare for a Tattoo on Tattooing Day?
1. Get up in the morning and brush your teeth
For a good bit of time, you’ll have a total stranger in your room. Whether you want a better life for him or her, brush your teeth. The artist has done nothing to warrant your poor breath.
2. Have a shower
To most people, standing next to a smelly person while in line at the grocery store is aggravating. Consider now how a tattoo artist feels like they’ve spent hours inking someone stinky. Do yourself a favor and make tidy before you get tatted.
3. Shave the area of tattooing
I put an exclamation mark here as I wanted to look like a hairy beast because usual, and it took two razors to get the hair off (it also wasted time and slowed down the tattooing process. Be careful not to cut yourself because that could mean canceling your appointment
4. Eat well your breakfast
Be sure to go full-stomach into your tattoo session because it will help to improve your endurance when going through such a stressful experience. The day of your tattoo session is a cheat day: the more glucose you get, the better.
And if you want your bacon and eggs to go with the extra bowl of frosted flakes, just go right for it! Getting tattooed consumes a lot of calories depending on how long the session is going on, so make sure you fuel up enough that you have the energy to burn
5. Drink much water
Though we strongly advise against alcohol consumption, we highly recommend drinking a lot of water. Start your tattoo session the night before, stay as well hydrated as possible. It would also make it easier for the skin to tolerate the ink due to the hydration and allow the tattooing process to occur more rapidly without thinning the blood.
6. Wear comfortable clothes
Whether you have a fringe or a full fringe, wear a T-shirt you won’t mind getting ruined before you leave. It might not happen, but ink from the stencil will certainly end up on your T-shirt, and if you’ve got to get it rolled up for the tattoo’s shoulder part … it can get very badly spread. Ideally, wear a session muscle shirt and bring in a jumper or something to overtop with you beforehand.
7. Keep your skin nourished
Don’t slather yourself right before your tattoo in a moisturizer, but it’s certainly a good idea to moisturize your skin until the day before you go. It’s also making the ink take a little easier, according to what I’ve heard.
8. Don’t drink alcohol and go
Although drinking or being under the influence of some substance may seem like a simple way to relieve the pain, it can make your tattoo even more painful too. Alcohol is a blood thinner, ensuring you’ll spill more, and the dye won’t be as easy to take.
That, along with frequent drunken movements, would most likely cause the tattoo process to take longer as well as agitate the skin and could even cause the piece not to come out as clean or polished as it should.
Remember also that counter-pain killers and caffeine will also thin your blood, so consider avoiding Tylenol, Advil, coffee, and energy drinks before your tattoo session.
9. Take pain killers
Half an hour before the session, you can take a non-aspirin pain reliever. Aspirin is a blood thinner that is administered immediately before a dangerous operation.
10. Get something which entertains yourself
In my case, I’ve been talking to my tattoo artist most of the time, but some people tend to keep focused and enjoy entertainment. Thank god today we all have cell phones. Bring your phone and a Netflix-loaded charger or something to watch to entertain yourself during the session.
11. Bring your friend
The act of getting tattooed is very stressful, and friends provide a pleasant diversion. All the parlors I was allowed to have a friend with me in the room when making art, but I wouldn’t bring along more than one other guy. You don’t want the artist to end up upsetting him. Therefore, if you don’t want to spend too much time alone with anyone you don’t meet, then it’s nice to have a friend to help break the stress.
12. Have a chat with your tattoo artist
Chatting easily with others will make time go faster, and the pain disappears. Some tattoo artists are extremely talkative and can get to know their clients during the process of tattooing. Give a pal (but not one more!) to those artists who are a little more introverted.
Once you get tattooed, you don’t want to be a nuisance or constantly running, so try to keep things cool and composed, and first check with your artist whether you should bring someone with you. Some shops don’t want an entourage, but a stimulating chat will do you some good when you are getting inked
13. Don’t make movements while tattooing
Stop jumping or wiggling too much when the artist is in the job. Too much activity distracts tattoo artists from their work, making the session longer and increasing the discomfort. Until growing your tat in a particularly tickly region of your body, think twice.
14. Take breaks
Having a big tattoo on a sensitive area such as your hands, feet, ribs, or chest may take it out of you. Be sure to take breaks to refuel during the session. Take such brief periods to eat something and catch up before going back under the needle.
We suggest a small orange juice snack and a chocolate power bar. Make sure you don’t take too many breaks or rests for too long, however. During your breaks, the piece will start swelling a lot more, and frequent start and stop will disrupt a lot of the tattoo process and build up the adrenaline.
15. Relax well
Lay down, bring your feet up, be at ease. Breathe in, then exhale. Dream of a luxury spa at the pool, or fall asleep. Relaxed skin and muscles are more pliable and easier to work on than tensed, rigid skin.
16. Prepare for aftercare
Keep out of the water for several weeks, and keep your tattoo out of the sun.
17. Follow the aftercare instructions
If the tattoo artist sends you directions for aftercare, listen, it’s for your benefit. Follow the nutritional medicine, avoid water and sun, and keep your fresh tat cool and airy. Oh, and infection pain is even more horrifying than a tattoo session.
18. Tip your tattoo artist
This is also one of the major parts of “How to prepare for a tattoo”. It may not sound like the sort of service needing tipping, but tattoo artists expect payment for their work. Tattoos are pricey, yes, but artists certainly don’t get all the money you are charging for their work.
Think about how exhausting this kind of work is and how much skill it takes, and then think about the fact that they don’t even earn the revenue cost of their art. Tipping about 20% is friendly.

Maybe you have even seen the historic very touching and sad movie “Vehkleja” The Fencer. The film was selected as the Finnish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, making the December shortlist of nine films, but it was not nominated. The Fencer was also nominated for the Golden Globe award in the Best Foreign Language Film category as a Finnish/German/Estonian co-production.
Sure you know compositor Pjotr Tchaikovsky and that most of book by Astrid Lindgren illustrated by Ilon Wikland. Ilon raised in Haapsalu, In 1944 she escaped with the family of a classmate from the second Soviet occupation of Estonia, to Sweden
World-famous Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky was residing in Haapsalu in 1867 In his honour, a monument to the Chocolate Promenade was erected, where the maestro loved to watch the sunrise from the shores and admire the lakes.
It is just a memorial bench for the composer but it is impressive. There is a button to hear a recording that tells his story in Haapsalu. One of his symphonies was inspired by san Estonian folk song.
I wrote in my blog that Haapsalu women are able to knit a spider’s web. This is a world-famous Haapsalu scarf.
Let me introduce to you one of the most beautiful towns in Estonia Haapsalu.
Haapsalu is located in West Estonia by the sea. and is famous for its treatment of mud. There are a lot of Spa resorts and full of tourists during the summer and wintertime.
Haapsalu is the town of coffee shops. I believe that you can find the best cakes of Estonia from Haapsalu.

Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival HÕFF take place already for the 12th year.
On the Baptistery’s circular window built into the southern wall of Haapsalu Dome Church, a female figure appears during the full moon nights in August,
who has been named the White Lady.
Haapsalu Railway Station is very beautiful…but..there are no train traffic. A few years ago the government decided to quit railway traffic to Haapsalu. But locals have not lost hope. Every year September 22 they are gathering to ” wait for a train”… maybe on one beautiful day we can take a train from Tallinn to Haapsalu.
We visited Haapsalu in November. Grey dark and rainy day.
Listen to swans. They knew what is coming next…

Welcome to Lovely Cloth!
My name is Laneequa the creator of Lovely Cloth. I make cloth diapers, cloth menstrual pads, and more. When I was pregnant with baby #2 I was looking for ways to simply save money on all the baby expenses that were headed my way. After a ton of hours of research I came across cloth diapers. At first I was reluctant but was intrigued by saving money and the fact that these cloth diapers were so adorable. So I jumped in head first and eyes closed. I say that because my first batch of diapers for my little one was completely all wrong. This cracked me up for days until I was able to afford some more fabric. Then I went at it again and was instantly hooked. No one in my family ever used cloth diapers so they all thought I was crazy. Once my baby girl came and I was able to try them out I was thrilled. I was so excited I was talking about cloth diapers all the time and my husband convince me to start a business since I loved it so much. And Lovely Cloth was born.
All Lovely Cloth products are made in a smoke free and pet free home with lots and lots of LOVE :)

Opioid addiction has increasingly become an epidemic in America in recent history, with many attributing this growing problem to prescription painkillers. These painkillers are being prescribed at a rate. The average price for a single pill of an opioid prescription, like norco or percocets, can run the user anywhere between $8 without insurance to $40 dollars on the street. Since opioids are highly addictive, when people are cut off or run out of their medication, they often turn to the streets for a cheaper alternative. Due to the substance abuse problem with these prescription painkillers, the use of heroin has been widely sold as a cheaper solution. As a result, many users have gotten hooked on the substance after seeing that it also achieves a more intense high.
When looking at the prices of heroin in the United States over the last few years, we have seen it steadily become more cheap and readily available, with the potency levels continuing to rise. Heroin and black tar heroin are illegal substances that mimic the effects of other opiods. They are mainly being trafficked by Mexican drug cartels who smuggle them across the Mexican border and then distribute them illegally throughout American cities, like Texas and Dallas. Due to close proximity with the border, Texas becomes a major hotspot for these cartels to traffic their drugs. Today, more and more often, heroin is being cut with other substances, such as fentanyl (a high strength opioid), in order to drive those prices back up on the street, increasing the profit margin for drug traffickers or other people who are selling heroin.
While the average price for a “baggie” of heroin can range anywhere between $5-$20 dollars (with many recovered addicts reported having bought 15-20 of these single use bags per day), we must ask ourselves, what is the actual cost of using heroin?
The economic burden America faces when dealing with this categorical problem is estimated to be around 78.5 billion dollars a year due to things like decreased productivity in the workforce, the overwhelming cost of healthcare, addiction rehabilitation treatment costs, and criminal justice involvement. Not only can a heroin addiction have a detrimental impact on the economy, it can wreak havoc on the users finances as well, costing the average addict anywhere between $438 to $1,750 per week.
However, once the addiction to heroin has taken hold, it will not stop to ask the price that anyone is willing to pay, because unfortunately, with many addicts, no price is too high. They do not see the impact their addiction is having on the world around them. An addiction to heroin will take as much as the user is willing to give, which in most cases, can and will be everything. Heroin will not stop at taking your job, your car, your money, your family, your home, your health, your appearance, your friends and in most cases, it will even take your life. Addiction is a powerful disease that will continue to take and take, until either the user has gotten help from a substance abuse treatment program or has died from their disease altogether.
Heroin is a high strength, extremely addictive and highly dangerous opioid that it is one of the leading causes of death in America, with Texas being one of the states most heavily impacted by its usage. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 130 people in the United States alone die from an overdose on opioids every single day, with Texas attributing to about 5% of that number. In 2017, Texas had around 2,199 reported deaths related to an opioid overdose, coming in 5th on the list behind states like Florida and New York.
Addiction from heroin can affect any region, race, and age demographic. Surprisingly enough though, in Texas during the year of 2017, the age group most affected by opioid overdoses were people aged 55 and above, followed by young adults who were aged 25-34. With up to 80% of people who struggle with a prescription painkiller dependency that may turn to heroin, one can not be surprised by these staggering numbers.
In response to this crisis, the US department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been focusing its efforts on these major areas;
- Improving access to substance abuse treatment programs, drug rehabilitation programs, and other alternative recovery programs
- Promoting use of overdose-reversing drugs, such as narcan, by medical professionals and law enforcement agencies
- Strengthening the understanding of this epidemic by implementing better public health surveillance
- Providing additional support for cutting edge research on pain and addiction
- Advancing better practices for pain management
The National Institute on Health (NIH), a component of the US Department of Health and Human Services, also met with major pharmaceutical companies in 2017 in order to help solve this problem. In these meetings, they discussed alternative methods for the treatment of pain, like non addictive alternatives, ways to prevent opioid misuse, and how to effectively manage opioid abuse disorders or how to avoid altogether.
We hope that in time, with these combined efforts, this problem in America will begin to subside. Until more people are willing to seek help, many will remain affected. With drug overdoses from heroin and other opioids still on the rise, we urge those suffering to reach out for assistance if they are struggling with getting clean or staying sober. No one is safe from becoming a part of this epidemic.
The time to get clean is today. The longer an addiction is left unchecked the harder it is to overcome. When an addiction is allowed to thrive for an extended period of time, the chance for overdose escalates as the users tolerance begins to increase along with the amount of time being spent on getting high. The one and only lasting cure for any type of drug addiction is to lead a life of sobriety. If you or a loved one are suffering from withdrawal symptoms or are unable to stop taking drugs or alcohol please reach out to More Than Rehab.

A new you?
These are the doldrums between Christmas and New Year, flat land that stretches between the poles that define many of our calendars. 5 days of “Chrimbo Limbo” that span the time between the frenzied, all-consuming build up to a day of food – or faith – and the tail end of the year, one which many will be happy to leave. From our cars or sofas, from muddy woods or frozen beaches, we can feel the world turning. Time, flying. This is a hinge, a pause before the first new day of a new year, filled with possibility.
How can we hang onto this sense of time? How can we use it to prepare for a new year or a fresh start without creating the feeling that we should “do more” or “be more” or “be new” somehow, which is its own kind of all-consuming frenzy?
I return to the page and the old ritual of morning pages.
I have written about morning pages before, and how to get started on them; it is a practice that continues to sustain me. It has become a natural – and necessary – start to my day. A space and time to shape and sharpen my thoughts before the day begins and time sweeps me away in the wake of what it wants.
Morning pages are 3 sheets of A4 (or my preferred online method at 750words.com) written without planning, editing, or censorship. These are raw words, written faster than we can think, as we come to wakefulness. That is their power. It is us, when no one’s looking in a clean space that we define and refine, daily.
It is a place to flex and stretch, mentally and emotionally. An iron for the mind, smoothing away the wrinkles. A meditation made with moving fingers.
These last few months of 2017, I felt too busy to think. My mind was always scratching away in every direction, trying to make sense of tensions and disappointments, moods and missteps, conflicting bits of information and inspirations. When I felt there was no time for morning pages, I knew that they were more essential than ever. How else to keep some control over my own day, other than to take my first 12 minutes or so and write down how I felt, what I wanted, where I wanted to go? Morning pages became a place to capture 750 words of my work-in-progress, before I had to turn to other projects; somedays, it was the only work I was able to do that day for myself. Through a very season, and university term, I kept writing morning pages and using them as starting places for scenes and chapters. Now, at this pause before a new year, I find the WIP is nearing 30K. It will certainly be over that mark, when we toast a brand new year.
Consciously and unconsciously, 750 words sets me up for writing, however busy the day, because I have focused myself on it. I have stated my intent. I have set my brain on that work, as I boil the kettle, as I let out the dog, before the dash and rush to come.
In the new year, I will be teaching many mornings. For those of you who know me, you know how jealously I guard mornings, when I feel I write at my best. Though we aren’t always in control of our timetables, I aim to stay in control of my brain and my time, as best I can. In the coming new year, with all its early starts and pressures, I will seek to continue my practice and share it with students, asking them to begin our day with morning pages. I hope to introduce them to a practice and a ritual that will nurture their writing and their thinking, so that it might sustain them through their writing lives, as it does mine. Looking for a new you? Try an old practice. Morning pages.
See you on the page.

The fibers of drum and trunk muscles of the Tigerfish. Therapon jarbua, differ greatly in diameter. The myofibrils of the trunk muscles are irregularly oriented, while those of the drum muscles are rolled into spiral or concentric bands. Both muscle types possess the sarcomere structure typical of cross-straited musculature. However, the myofibrils of the drum muscles differ greatly in sarcomere length and width from those in the trunk musculature. The trunk muscles contain few mitochondria, whereas in the drum muscles mitochondria are abundant. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of the drum muscles takes the form of elongated tubes in both the A and the I region; that of the trunk musculature consists of small vesicles. Of the two muscle types, the drum muscle contains more SR. With respect to the form of the T system, the trunk musculature is of the Z type and the drum muscles of the A-I type. The drum muscle displays a considerably greater number of motor endplates; these lack typical junctional folds and have mitochondria with very few cristae. No fat could be demonstrated in either the drum or the trunk muscles. However, the concentration of glycogen is higher in the drum muscles than in the musculature of the trunk.

Today I am thinking about the passing of life–both the passing of time while we are here and the passing from this life to the next.
How bitter and painful both can be for many, yet how sweet and joyous all the same.
I watched Endgame this evening, and I cried with a room full of strangers.
Isn’t that beautiful? We sat in the dark next to our friends or families but also with people we have never seen before and may never see again, and we felt it ALL together. We wept, some of us loudly and openly, and some stifled back the tears with tight throats and hot eyelids… and some *cough *cough my husband *cough *cough laughed at the absurdity of the rest of us joined in grief at the loss of a fictional life.
But I loved the weird unity of it. We were lost in the story of a fight to save humanity, and we shared our humanity as we wept together in the dark.
I don’t know how it came up, but we told our kids stories from their births on the way to dinner. Maybe we felt life bursting in the rawness of our emotions after laughing, crying, and cheering for flawed heroes. Or maybe we were just thinking about how we used to eat at Red Robin a lot more when we first started our family.
We told about how the night Ella was born we had met Jon’s parents for a relaxed dinner at Red Robin in order to send Kaleb, who was days from turning two, home with them. We reminisced about Jon watching football at home and taking a long walk with me at half time. We took a loop that required us to hop a fence to be almost home or go back the two miles we had already come. With some help, I hopped the fence…. the day I delivered Ella. Her birth was calm and easy. But we also told about when Kaleb was taken to the NICU shortly after he was born and the fear and uncertainty we felt as we were forced to wait in the hallway while the nurses switched shifts before we could go in to see him. We laughed at how many times we have already told the kids Annalyn’s birth story because her story captures her stubborn will to do things her own way.
I was so young in these stories. How distant and sweet those crazy, fun, heart pounding, and heart filling moments seem.
When we returned home this evening, I read the news that a christian, female author, far more successful than me, who was born the same year as I was just died from what started as the flu.
No rhyme. No reason.
And this caused me to pause. The need to process the passing of life couldn’t be held back any longer. The need to think and feel it all pushed me to the keyboard, where my inner world finds its way out.
I think of the mess of my home I am constantly trying to overcome- the mountains of laundry, the random junk left on the dining room table by my children (placed there to drive me momentarily insane), the soap scum on my pretty glass shower walls, and the cat litter that escapes the box on the daily. I think of how much of my life is spent worrying about these things. I think of the stress of my work environment and the dreams I keep setting on the shelf for another day because I have my whole life ahead of me, and I do. I have my whole life ahead of me.
I smile as I write this and Annalyn skates back and forth on the back deck… because she is a skater girl now. It’s all a jumble of feels–heart bursting, heart rending, heart racing, feels.
I am just taking it in and feeling all the feels.
I am desperate to embrace the moment and live in the now, but I am also aware that life is so big and potentially so long… and maybe I don’t need to sweat the little stuff and could give even more grace… to me and to others because whether my life is much longer or suddenly over, no one will care if I weighed ten extra pounds, what my career was, or if the counters were clean and the cabinets organized. No. They will care only that I loved them.
And yet, I love them so much better when I feel the calm and peace of a world with everything in place. And that is the lie I believe- that I can put life into order… that I have control… that there is rhyme and reason.
And so I pray that God will help me to pass this life well.

(By Jenn Godbout)
“We thought about starting FiftyThree, and knew we wanted to start our own company for three years before actually doing it. Part of our preparation included being ready to work for 18 months without pay. That was the commitment we made in order to give it a proper shot. The way I rationalised it was that it’s the same as going to grad school. You could go get an MBA for $150,000 and two years of your life, to go on someone else’s journey, or you could take that money and time and go make your own dream.“
FiftyThree turned a lot of heads when their first project, Paper, was named Apple’s app of the year. Though the feat is less surprising when you hear the founders’ track record: these are the designers and engineers behind products like PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Xbox, and Photosynth.
We caught up with Georg Petschnigg, who founded FiftyThree after 10 years at Microsoft, to find out how he prepared to go out on his own, why his team maps out projects like TV episodes, and why passion matters most.
Your team has a pretty unique way of working, how do you make sure new members fit the bill?
There’s a simple question we ask when we’re thinking about bringing a new person onto our team: are they good at a minimum of two things? And that could be something like software development plus playing the trombone, or visual design plus film making. This is important because it’s really humbling to become good in yet another discipline, if you’re just good at one thing it’s easy to believe that you actually understand it and are the expert. But when you try to learn something new, like another language, you’re instantly humbled. And that’s really important to us, because we believe that creation really happens when boundaries are crossed.
Speaking of being good at two things, one of your co-founders is a filmmaker/UX designer. How does that work?
Yeah, Andrew Allen is an award-winning filmmaker who ended up working with software because he felt like it was a really under-utilized narrative medium. His draw to interaction design was actually really motivated by his work as a filmmaker and his narrative approach works really well with us.
Now when we plan out our work, we plot out each project like an episode for a TV show. Our first episode was called Ideas Begin on Paper. We created a storyboard first that showed someone capturing their ideas throughout their day in New York from the first person. We used the storyboard to frame our development work and when we were done we actually shot the video to go along with the launch. Instead of trying to explain what we built to our customers after it’s done, we explain it internally first and build from there—that way we also understand what we’re building and why every step of the way.
When we released additional colors, our deadline was dependent on nature, so as we were writing code we were noticing the temperature change and were racing to finish before the leaves changed color. It was actually really thrilling to have this reminder all around you and it also humanizes the entire process, rather than just working towards milestone 1.3. This episodic approach means that the product experience is incomplete if the narrative isn’t being fulfilled.
Leaving Microsoft after 10 years to start your own company is a pretty big leap, what was that like?
We thought about starting FiftyThree, and knew we wanted to start our own company for three years before actually doing it. Part of our preparation included being ready to work for 18 months without pay. That was the commitment we made in order to give it a proper shot. The way I rationalised it was that it’s the same as going to grad school. You could go get an MBA for $150,000 and two years of your life, to go on someone else’s journey, or you could take that money and time and go make your own dream.
The scariest day is the day before you leave, but the best day is the day after that. After you leave you can actually devote time and energy to the things you’re passionate about, and you feel so much more whole. The day after leaving I was like, “I should have done this much sooner.” And I’m saying that as someone who had 10 great years at Microsoft—it wasn’t dull at all. I got to work on some amazing projects, but there hasn’t been a day since leaving when I haven’t felt 100 percent clear on what I’m doing and the purpose behind it, which is a deep source of inspiration and I wouldn’t ever give that up.
You and your co-founders have worked on some of the most technologically advanced products like Xbox 360, Microsoft Office, and Sonos that took years to develop. What advice can you share on making it to the finish line?
There is tremendous joy to be had in polishing and finishing a given project. You have to owe it to yourself to finish, which is why it’s important to go after the projects you’re personally most passionate about. I mean take New York for example – everything is so fast-paced in this city, and every press release is about the next overnight success, but there are no overnight successes. Things just take time. You have to accept that your life is limited. You’re only going to work on a certain number of projects or at a number of places in your lifetime, which is why you need to make each one of them count. You owe it to yourself to take your ideas to a certain level. That’s where the magic happens.

Author: Bruce Springsteen
Rating: 5 Stars
Dates read: 30 Jan 19 – 14 Feb 19
Publication date: 27 Sep 2016
Publisher: Simon Schuster
Genre(s): Non Fiction, Memoir/Autobiography
‘Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.’ —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run.
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humour and originality found in his songs.
He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger and darkness that fuelled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as ‘The Big Bang’: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candour, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song ‘Born to Run’ reveals more than we previously realized.
Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (‘Thunder Road’, ‘Badlands’, ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’, ‘The River’, ‘Born in the U.S.A.’, ‘The Rising’, and ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’, to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.
I am definitely going to preface this review by saying that I am a big Bruce Springsteen fan. I have listened to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band for as long as I can remember, my parents love him/them too and so his music has been present in my life for a long time. His music is my go to driving soundtrack, and he is probably the best act I have ever seen live (Sorry Paul McCartney!) So it goes without saying that it was probably inevitable that I was going to like this book to some degree, but I wasn’t ready for the blunt honesty, hard truths, and eye-opening stories that this book contains.
It starts like all good stories, at the beginning of his life. I know he stands for the blue collar worker, the dreamers and the drifters, the workers and the ‘normal person’ but I wasn’t aware of his background, his incredible lack or wealth and what could at some points be called poverty, and his battle to take him from a nobody to THE somebody in rock music. His childhood is by no means ‘hard’. He affords to buy something, even if it’s not nothing, and he has a very strong family unit, that while dysfunctional when it comes to his father, is clearly one he values and treasures and has carried over to his family unit with his wife and children.
It think we can all sympathise with the idea of wanting something so bad that you’ll do anything to get it, but very few of us actually live that life until we get it because at some point, the drive or ability to proceed dissipates. Whether it’s buying a sub-standard guitar to practice, driving cross the USA when he can’t actually drive, or playing club after club, night after night for less recognition and money that any aspiring rock artist would hope for.
What becomes abundantly clear is Bruce is self-confident, self-aware, and talented, a mix required for any precocious talent. At no point during his career, whether demanding his parents buy his first guitar, whether creating his first band, or whether entering the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, he believes he is worthy of his successes alone. He embraces and praises those around him, but he believes in his ability to get himself there, or back there, and has done throughout his life. It’s inspirational, and makes you really think about what you want in your life and how you change you plans and influence your decisions to go after it.
I think there is an element of success that changes relationships and probably creates artificial ones. Bruce is candid and open when discussing relationships we have only heard about through publications and rumour mills. He is brutally honest about the personal deficiencies that led to the break down of his first marriage, and how much fellow E-Streeter Patti is responsible for stability and consistency that he would not have otherwise achieved. He opens up about his love for his fellow band members and is incredibly retrospective when looking at their importance in his work and his life, and how those relationships have evolved (and how they may not have if they hadn’t found fame and fortune). His relationship with his dad is a reoccurring theme through the book and has clearly had a profound impact on many of the life, love, and working choices he has made and I very much get the sense that opening up about this has been some what cathartic for him.
Finally, he looks upon himself with an open eye. He does not sugar coat his hardships and his flaws, nor down play his successes and finances. He is honest about his ongoing battles with mental health and depression, a conversation rarely heard about amongst rock royalty or high thought of musicians. His introspection makes you think about your own life and position and happiness and subconsciously helps you think about where to go next and how to find your next path – be it who to ask or which decision to make.
This book was more than just a trip down memory lane. It encompassed so much more than the hits we know and love and really made me understand and see Bruce Springsteen for who he was and still is. Any Bruce or E-Street fan who hasn’t read this should seriously think about getting a copy, and any music fan should think about reading it! Just like Bruce, simply awesome!

7 locations. 2 days. 90 seconds.
You’d think that a 90-second video would be a breeze to produce. A minute and a half isn’t that long, after all. If you do think that, you’re wrong. For this quick bit on Citrix Online’s GoToWebinar HD Faces features, we worked our team to the bone. Not only did we shoot in San Francisco for two grueling days, but we also had to look good while we were at it. That’s right, your very own WHM team were the stars of the video. And because we didn’t have to hire many actors, being the attractive and multitalented people we are, we were able to come in on budget—a tiny budget, at that.
Take a watch and see how many of us you can spot.

In the video above, see how to make a plant pot out of a tin can. You will need an empty tin can – drill a hole in the bottom for extra drainage, before your child begins the activity. Also required are crafts sticks, an elastic band and ribbon. Place the elastic band horizontally around the middle of the tin can, then feed the craft sticks through. Once the circumference of the tin can is covered with craft sticks, secure a ribbon over the elastic band. Add soil and seeds, flowers or a plant and watch it grow!
6. Reducing and Reusing
It is important not only to recycle, but to reduce waste and reuse where possible. Children can donate their old clothes and toys to others who need them, giving the items a new life. Little ones can also upcycle old items to make something new. An old box suddenly becomes a giant castle, whilst a juice carton becomes a plant pot. Check out this Recycled Craft playlist, bursting with environmentally-friendly activities for kids.
7. Saving Energy
Children can practice saving energy in several ways, at home or school. To save water, kids can try to turn off the tap whilst they brush their teeth. Moreover, switching off lights when leaving a room can help save electricity. Families can also cycle or walk instead of using the car where possible. Plus, kids can swap channel flicking for page turning by choosing a book over the TV, therefore saving electricity.

This project for a UK-based receipt management company includes several parts: a website, an automated system for processing receipts and invoices and its version for mobile devices on iPhone or Android OS.
Abto Software experts successfully developed and designed a website for our customer company where users can get to know more about the company, the system which helps process invoices and receipts received from tax authorities, and about the receipt manager application which users can download onto their mobile devices.
The Cloud accounting web service system for bookkeeping and expenses developed by Abto Software automates practically all the processes connected with invoices and receipts. It digitizes receipts and invoices by scanning them, automatically saving theimportant data for you, extracting and uploading all the relevant information to an online user’s account in the system, identifying the digits indicated there, downloading PDF images and exporting reports to Excel or PDF format. When signed in, users can view, manage, share and export their receipts to various accounting packages. For that our experts provided the integration of the accounting web service system with other accounting systems of different levels of complexity, like Sage, Xero, KashFlow, FreeAgent, JustAccounts, Quickbooks and more.
To satisfy the needs of users who like to be always online and mobile, Abto Software developers used API for iPhone and Android in the mobile version of the system. The mobile application fulfills almost all the same functions and services as the online web service for processing invoices and receipts.

Moody’ Investors Service has today undertaken a series of rating actions related to Ineos Group Holdings S.A. (“Ineos” or the company) and its various debt instruments in conjunction with upgrading the corporate family rating (CFR) by one notch to B2 and assigning a positive outlook:
(i) The ratings on the first lien senior secured bank facilities and 2015 notes were upgraded by one notch to Ba3 / LGD 3 (31),
(ii) The ratings on 2015 second lien senior secured loans were upgraded by one notch to B3 / LGD 5 (73), and
(iii) The ratings on 2016 senior guaranteed notes were upgraded by one notch to Caa1 / LGD 5 (88).
The rating action follows the announcement of the successful closing of the refining joint venture transaction by Ineos with Petrochina (unrated). The negotiated terms of the transaction allow the company to retain full benefits of its integrated business model, as its downstream petrochemical production facilities remain integrated in the refining facilities of the joint venture. We also expect that the carving out of the more volatile refining operations will reduce the operating risk profile of the rated group and further mitigate financial risks previously associated with managing significant working capital requirements of the refining business within the leveraged capital structure.
The significant USD 1.015 b cash proceeds from the transaction will also allow Ineos to accelerate the deleveraging. Taking into account the expected reduction in debt from the proceeds of the transaction and the strong cash flow generation by the company in 2011, we expect the leverage to reduce towards 4.5x times on the fully adjusted basis. Strong operating performance in 1H 2011 and the likely supportive supply/demand fundamentals for the main co-monomers should continue to support to the deleveraging efforts.
We see limited potential for the incremental improvement in the operating performance in the near term, given the current high level of pricing and high utilisation rates enjoyed by Ineos. The positive outlook on the ratings reflects our expectation that the management will continue to execute on the programme of deleveraging and that the company will also be able to create additional flexibility within the capital structure, leading, over time, to a reduction in the interest burden. Further upward pressure would develop if leverage falls below 4.5x times on a sustainable basis. An upgrade of the rating would also require Ineos to maintain a very strong liquidity profile and proactively manage its maturities. A deterioration in operating performance leading to a sustained weakness in cash flow generation and weaker debt coverage metrics and/or a sustained negative FCF generation would put a negative pressure on the ratings.
The following ratings were affected by the rating action:
Ineos Group Holdings S.A.:
- Corporate Family Rating: B2 / PD – B2;
- 2016 senior g-teed notes – Caa1 / LGD 5 (88);
Ineos Holding Limited:
- First-lien senior g-teed bank facilities and notes – Ba3 / LGD 3 (31);
- Second lien senior loans — B3 / LGD 5 (73).
The principal methodology used in rating Ineos Group Holdings S.A. was the Global Chemical Industry Methodology published in December 2009.Other methodologies used include Loss Given Default for Speculative-Grade Non-Financial Companies in the U.S., Canada and EMEA published in June 2009.

Business communications encompasses connectivity, and connectivity underpins absolutely everything - from your emails to your internet and cloud-based applications. Pretty much everything you use to stay in touch with your business and your customers relies on connectivity.
Fast connection speeds and reliability are essential to keep your business systems running smoothly, which means traditional ADSL services rarely cope with the demands and expectations of users.
Ideal for companies with a requirement for large upload and download speeds, fibre connections typically provide much faster connectivity than other business connectivity options.
Those utilising cloud and internet hosted solutions must have a connection they can rely on, which is exactly where fibre business connectivity comes in.
We have seamlessly implemented fibre connections for many of our clients, so reach out to our team to find out more about our fibre connectivity packages.
Ethernet is a network protocol used in local area networks (LANs) to control how data is transmitted. A LAN is a group of computers and other connected devices within a small area (such as an office), all of which are wired together.
Ethernet leased line connections are ideal for businesses which heavily rely on their internet connection, providing the ability to support voice, video and mission critical data applications.

Today, many American leftists are accepting and even promoting the propaganda of the dictatorial regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. They overwhelmingly stand on the side of fascism and genocide in that ravaged country.
In areas the Syrian regime controls, it is carrying out a systematic extermination of those suspected of dissent—beginning with prisoners. Poison gas has been used repeatedly. Starvation has become a weapon of the war, with the regime denying food aid to besieged areas.
Most leftists claim they are just against U.S. intervention. But the facts demonstrate otherwise.
The ANSWER Coalition, a remaining pillar of the diminished anti-war movement—whose ironic acronym stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism—supports Assad openly. Their rallies feature placards with the dictator’s portrait and the flag of his regime (which replaced the Syrian national flag when his father seized power in 1971). ANSWER began as a front group for the authoritarian Workers World Party which openly supported North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il and Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic, so their support for Assad is not surprising.
But less openly pro-Assad elements still mouth the regime propaganda line that all the opposition in Syria consists of CIA-backed jihadists. This ignores the reality of the Syrian conflict, which began in 2011 as a spontaneous popular revolution—part of the general upsurge throughout the Arab world. It only escalated to civil war after the regime’s security forces serially massacred unarmed protesters. The civil resistance movement that began the revolution—secular, pro-democratic, and independent—continues to exist, even as it has been pushed from the world headlines by utterly ruthless armed actors.
Some anarchists in the U.S. have mobilized in support of the Syrian Kurds, who have declared a left-libertarian autonomous zone in their region known as Rojava. (See Fifth Estate #393, Spring 2015 and #394, Summer 2015.) While this solidarity effort is to be encouraged, most stateside anarchists have shown little awareness of the civil resistance movement among the Arab majority of Syria, which also has currents influenced by left-libertarian thinking. (See FE #396, Summer 2016.)
This failure of solidarity is pronounced, as well, in U.S. left and progressive media. Earlier this year, Democracy Now! host, Amy Goodman, was petitioned online to invite Syrian activists as guests on her nationally syndicated radio and TV show. Particularly recommended were Leila al-Shami and Robin Yassin-Kassab, co-authors of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War, newly released from Pluto Press. (See al-Shami’s Summer 2016 Fifth Estate article.)
The petition noted that on April 25, Democracy Now! devoted nearly a full program to a Goodman interview with Seymour Hersh, who can now only be considered an open propagandist for the Assad regime. In the interview, he applauded Russia’s intervention in Syria as “effective.” The petition noted that Russia had killed 2000 Syrian civilians, and bombed multiple hospitals.
Hersh has said far worse in his many other appearances on “Democracy Now!” In a 2013 broadcast, he declared that Assad is “the only game in town, whether you like it or don’t like it.” According to Hersh, the secular opposition has been “overrun by jihadists.” So, in his view, the Assad regime is the only hope for stability in Syria.
Not only do such heroes of the contemporary left as Hersh offer no solidarity to the secular resistance in Syria—they deny that it even exists. And they hail the mass-murdering dictator as guarantor of “stability.”
By the time al-Shami and Yassin-Kassab were finally contacted by Goodman, they had completed their North American book tour and left for Europe. Giving credit where it is due, Goodman did, partially, make amends.
On May 13, she featured a segment with this very refreshing title: “Amid Ongoing Conflict in Syria, Activists Work to Keep Alive Revolutionary Spirit of 2011 Uprising.” Interviewed was Yasser Munif of the Global Campaign of Solidarity with the Syrian Revolution, who spoke about the resurgence of protest and civil activism in Syria since a recent lull in the fighting.
The petitioning of Amy Goodman paid off. But she has still featured Seymour Hersh (in typically non-adversarial interviews) far more often than she has featured Syrian activists who represent the civil resistance on the ground. On the DN! webpage, where the Munif interview was displayed, the numerous dictator-shilling comments from Goodman’s followers were as disgusting as they were predictable: the fruit of years of pro-regime programming on America’s foremost leftist radio/TV news show.
Worse still is Counterpunch, one of the most widely read online news sites on the American left despite its propensity for giving voice to paleocons and exponents of the far right if they take positions in support of the dictatorships in places like Syria, Iran, and Belarus.
But this January 29, they outdid themselves, posting a piece titled, “The Rise of ISIS and Other Extremist Groups: The Role of the West and Regional Powers.” The writer was none other than Bouthaina Shaaban, official public relations advisor for Bashar Assad since 2008. This time not just a useful idiot of the Anglo-American progressive talking-head set, nor another paleo-right dictator-enthusiast, but an actual paid flack of the dictatorship.
The piece took the usual line, portraying the Syrian Revolution as contrived by the West and a jihadist initiative from the start. In other words, a perfect reversal of reality.
The Syrian Revolution shamefully received no support from the outside world for years, which is what allowed the jihadists to gain a foothold after the regime that Shaaban speaks for attempted to drown the peaceful protest movement in blood. Shaaban offered not a word about these massacres, but painted the emergence of an armed resistance as an arbitrary and foreign-fomented response to what she characterized as the “conciliatory” approach of the regime!
Shaaban is in effect the Goebbels of Damascus—defending the practices of the Asaad regime defiantly and charging Western media with presenting a false picture of her government. For her work, she was rewarded with a typically gushing interview by Robert Fisk, another icon of the left, in Britain’s The Independent on Oct. 27, 2011. He did ask her about charges of the Syrian government’s repeated massacre of protesters. But the headline trumpeted her disingenuous retort: “The army was told not to fire at protesters.”
Then, there’s Jill Stein, 2016 presidential candidate of the Green Party, whose popularity soared among lefties after Bernie Sanders conceded the Democratic Party nomination to Hillary Clinton. Stein has repeatedly engaged in parroting of Assad regime propaganda.
After the Ghouta sarin-gas attack in 2013, when Obama briefly threatened air-strikes against Assad’s military forces, Stein said: “President Obama’s rush to war risks a repeat of 2003, when President Bush’s order to invade Iraq prevented UN inspectors from discovering that Saddam Hussein’s alleged WMDs, one of the stated reasons for war, did not exist.”
Talk about fighting the last war! To say this days after a chemical massacre in which some 1,400 perished simply demolishes all the Green Party’s empty talk about human rights. The chemical weapons in Syria assuredly existed, and still do, if we count the repurposed chlorine that the regime continues to use.
And as for the “rush to war”—are we supposed to believe that Syria (with cities in ruins, some 12 million displaced, and more than a quarter million dead) is at peace as long as the U.S. isn’t involved? This is imperial narcissism, the internalized arrogance that sees everything as about the U.S., and renders local contexts (even those as crushingly obvious as the Syrian war) completely invisible.
Far worse is Stein’s running mate, Ajamu Baraka, an active enthusiast for Bashar Assad. As the Green Party’s Public Intervenor for Human Rights in Stein’s Shadow Cabinet, Baraka issued a 2014 statement on his web site hailing Assad’s thoroughly controlled pseudo-elections that year which confirmed his inherited dictatorial rule.
Titled, “Elections in Syria: The People Say No to Foreign Intervention,” it crowed about Assad’s supposed widespread support among the Syrian people, and how the opposition was “fomented” by the “gangster states of NATO.”
Perhaps the saddest thing is that even those small sectors of the stateside left that have been serious about solidarity with opposition forces in Syria are themselves divided. On one side are anarchists inspired by the experiment in Rojava. On the other are a handful of organizations, mostly led by Syrian and Arab immigrants and ex-pats, organizing to support the civil resistance movement among Syria’s Arab majority. These are loosely allied in the Committee in Solidarity with the People of Syria (CISPOS).
These two currents have grown more suspicious of each other as the situation on the ground in Syria has deteriorated, with fighting breaking out between the Rojava Kurds and elements of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
The situation has become much more urgent with the current Turkish intervention in Syria, with U.S. acquiescence. The U.S. has backed the Rojava Kurds as the most effective anti-ISIS force on the ground, but it now appears they are being betrayed in a Great Power deal.
However, the Rojava Kurds are also allied with other more secular and progressive elements of the FSA. Stateside activists can play a role in bridging this divide and supporting liberatory change in Syria. Anarchists can start extending solidarity not only to the Rojava Kurds, but also to the Syrian civil opposition generally—to groups such as the Local Coordination Committees, that are still building popular power at the grassroots level despite the war.
And, we can vocally repudiate the self-appointed leaders and mouthpieces of the American left that are flatly, dramatically on the wrong side in Syria.

An application for the continued use of property as a drop-in service for vulnerable people has been refused by Hull City Council’s planning committee.
The Raise the Roof organisation had applied retrospectively for permission to continue using the ground floor of a building in Charles Street for the service.
The facility in an end-terraced three-storey building at the junction of Freetown Way had been opening from 9.30am to 3.30pm, staffed by three full-time members of staff and five part-time volunteers. It had previously been used as a shop.
A Police Architectural Liaison Officer said in the planning report that the location was inappropriate as it placed vulnerable people at a heightened risk of conflict with people who may commit crimes. Comments made in relation to the application raised concerns about incidences of violence, abusive behaviour and public urination in the area.
The report also raised concerns over the close proximity to Case, an organisation that helps adults with learning difficulties, which could result in an overlap of a similar vulnerable user group.

There was an article in “Bloomberg” recently by Mary Camille Izlar entitled “Harvard Summer Program Recommendations Come at Hefty Cost” that discusses the price parents will pay to send their children to expensive college summer programs. They do this of course to improve their child’s odds of getting into the highly selective colleges of their dreams. The article references how students are charged $10,490 to attend a summer program at Harvard and, in exchange, these students will seek out Harvard professors to write letters of recommendation on their behalf as they apply to colleges (not just Harvard).
Many parents and students really believe that these college summer programs are the admissions ticket. We’re here to say that they’re just plain wrong, and we’ve been saying this for over 20 years. Do you know what it says when an applicant attended an expensive summer program? It says that mommy and daddy are wealthy and that their child is uncreative in that he or she can’t think of anything else to do for the summer but participate in an organized program that’s not that dissimilar to attending sleep-a-way camp or a teen tour. This type of program is not all that dissimilar to going to sleep-a-way camp or going on a teen tour. How do you think that comes across to admissions officers? Are they more likely to admit the children of privilege or the underprivileged? Unless that child of privileged is a legacy or a development case, the underprivileged kid is always going to win in highly selective college admissions.
These college summer programs are a major money-maker for universities across the nation. And they’re only growing in popularity. According to the “Bloomberg” piece, “Filling the dorms for the summer is a common method for colleges to make money, said Jamie Merisotis, president of the Lumina Foundation, an organization that works to expand student access to higher education. ‘Colleges and universities are facing lots of budget pressure, and many of these programs draw $5,000, $7,000 or $10,000 per student in a few weeks,’ Merisotis said. ‘That’s pretty good money from the perspective of the universities.'”
So if you don’t want to pay for your child to attend one of these college summer programs, don’t do it. It could hurt their chances of admission to highly selective colleges. Should they be doing nothing all summer instead? Absolutely not. They should be working, pursuing their passions (intellectual, athletic, etc.), researching, and you get the idea. They should not be sitting on the beach tanning!

A boy from Camdenton has the family dog to thank for saving him from a Copperhead bite. While playing in the yard, 6-year-old Gabe Nugent was with his dog Dozer…and un-be-knownst to them…a copperhead snake. While the snake was coiled and ready to strike, one-year-old Dozer, by breed, a cattle herding dog, jumped in and took the bite that was meant for the child. While Gabe was un-hurt, the dog was scooped-up by Gabe’s grandfather and immediately taken to the vet. After steroids and benedryl, the dog will be fine. The hero dog and his playmate should be back to normal soon.

A woman who has accused Brazilian soccer star Neymar of raping her in a Paris hotel went on television in an interview aired Wednesday to reaffirm her allegation against him in her first public comments on the case.
Talking to Brazilian station SBT, the woman described herself as an "ordinary person who works, studies; I'm a model and a student of interior design who likes sports, training and dancing," as well as being "a daughter and mother."
"I was the victim of rape," she said.
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
When the interviewer asked if what happened on May 15 was rape or an "aggression" — an apparent reference to what her original lawyers say was the woman's original complaint — she responded that it was "aggression together with rape."
Neymar, who has said he had two encounters with the accuser in France, denies any wrongdoing. He is also being investigated by Rio de Janeiro's cybercrime division for posting on social media images of the woman without her authorization.
A spokeswoman for Neymar, Day Crespo, has said that "because of the secrecy (of the investigation) we cannot comment."
But on Wednesday, the player's lawyers disputed a statement from the woman's initial legal team saying his representatives had asked for a meeting to discuss a settlement with the accuser. The player's attorneys issued a statement saying it was the woman's lawyers who sought the May 29 meeting, at which no agreement was reached.
The first complaint presented by the woman's legal team cited "aggression," or "physical violence," by Neymar. She filed a more serious rape complaint against Neymar on Friday with police in Sao Paulo. The woman later changed lawyers.
The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they are victims of sex crimes.
The TV station broadcast her comments as the soccer star played with Brazil's national team in a friendly match with Qatar in Brasilia while it prepares for the Copa America tournament.
Neymar left the match with an apparent injury. Brazil's soccer confederation later said its doctor examined him and found that he had twisted his ankle.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who attended the game in Brasilia, told journalists earlier in the day that he believes in Neymar. "He is a kid. He is in a difficult moment, but I believe in him," the president said.
Bolsonaro, a far-right former army captain, was elected in October after a campaign in which he promised to attack corruption and crime but also drew criticism for frequent anti-LGBT, misogynistic and racist remarks.

2019 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt Debuts at NYAS
There are few on-screen cars as memorable as the 1968 Mustang Fastback coupe from the movie Bullitt. Driven by Steve McQueen through the streets of San Francisco, this powerful and sleek machine became the dream of every car lover across the world. The original and main 1968 Mustang Fastback used in the film, changed hands a few times and ended up with a family in Nashville. Currently the original is worth upwards of $4 million and is only the twenty-first vehicle to be part of the National Historic Vehicle Register. With all this history, it makes sense that Ford decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bullitt by releasing the 2019 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt. Introduced at this year's New York Auto Show, this gorgeous modern muscle car, now available from participating Southern California Ford Dealers, is worth a closer look.
Performance Beyond Imagine
Once you get over the beauty of the 2019 Ford Mustang GT
Bullitt, you'll swoon a second time when you check out what it can do on the
road. The Bullitt is equipped with a
5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 that kicks out 480 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. The Active Valve Performance exhaust system with quad tips, 12.0-1 compression ratio, and 3.73 TORSEN limited-slip rear axle only enhance what is already a monster of a muscle car. The 6-speed manual transmission with Rev Matching helps you get a EPA-est. 15 city/25 hwy* MPG with seating for four. While we don't advise driving like McQueen did in the film, the 2019 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt does offer an exceptional ride thanks to a suite of features including:
Double-ball-joint MacPherson strut rear suspension with stabilizer bar
Integral-link independent rear suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar
MagneRide Damping System
BREMBO six-piston front brake calipers with larger rotors
Unique Electronic Stability Control Tuning
Unique Effort electric power assisted steering
Movie Star Looks
There's no two ways about it, inside and out, this car looks amazing. The exterior features a Decklid spoiler delete, LED Headlights with LED signature lighting, LED sequential taillights
body-color mirrors, Pony projection lights, a rear diffuser, a unique front grille without Pony badge, and a faux gas cap on rear applique with BULLITT logo. In keeping with a modern driver demands the interior includes a 12-inch LCD digital instrument cluster with MyColor, intelligent access push-button start, SYNC3, and Track Apps. You can also enjoy the optional RECARO leather-trimmed sport seats with dark highland green accent stitch and standard heated and cooled leather-trimmed front seats and 50/50 split-bench folding rear seats. To take your tech options to the next level, drivers can also add the BULLITT electronics package which features:
BLIS with cross-traffic alert
B&O Play premium 12-speaker audio system by HARMAN
Driver Memory seats, mirrors, and ambient lighting
Voice activated navigation system with Pinch-to-Zoom capability, SiriusXM, and Travel Link
Driving the Bullitt
Unlike a lot of the cars you see at shows, you can buy the 2019 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt. To find out if your nearest Southern California Ford Dealers location has the GT Bullitt in stock and give them a call. This limited edition muscle car won't be around forever, so you'll want to schedule a test-drive and get a quote today!

Jeter matched the New York Yankees record for hits with a seventh-inning single Wednesday night against Tampa Bay. Jeter’s third hit of the game gave him 2,721 in a Yankees uniform, tying a mark held by Gehrig for more than 70 years.
Jeter had a chance to break the record in the eighth inning, but he walked against reliever Grant Balfour.
Already on their feet in anticipation, fans at Yankee Stadium let loose with a roar when Jeter’s sharp grounder inside the first-base line got by a diving Chris Richard in the seventh.
Jeter’s parents, watching from an upstairs box between home plate and first base, raised their arms and exclaimed in excitement.
Jeter took off his helmet and twice waved it to the crowd of 45,848 during an ovation that lasted about 2 minutes. Rays players and coaches clapped as Jeter stood at first base.
After entering the game in an 0-for-12 slump, his longest hitless stretch this season, Jeter broke out of the rut with a bunt single toward third base leading off the bottom of the first inning. He beat the play without a throw, bringing a standing ovation from the crowd.
With cameras flashing all around the ballpark on every pitch to Jeter, he grounded out in the third inning against Rays starter Jeff Niemann and drove a ground-rule double to straightaway center in the fifth.
On his first chance to tie Gehrig, Jeter came through in fitting fashion — with an opposite-field hit.
In the middle of the eighth inning, the large video board in center field showed a replay and flashed “Congratulations Derek!”
Jeter also swiped second base in the first inning for his 300th career steal, which ranks second on the franchise list behind Rickey Henderson (326).
Gehrig’s final hit came on April 29, 1939, a single against the Washington Senators. The Iron Horse had held the club record for hits since Sept. 6, 1937, when he passed Babe Ruth.

Today I am presenting another written interview with Dan Christopher Frullani of RomaniGioielli.com which is a jewelry shop.
Check out the interview:
1. What got you interested in starting Romanigioielli? Share your story.
We started almost forty years ago with a lot of passion for elegance precious metals and we started making handmade jewels to offer high quality products following the Made in Italy tradition with the idea that our jewels have to represent the best choice for both design and materials.
2. How have you gone about sourcing most of the inventory you have? Do you buy wholesale or work with companies that dropship?
We handpick every single piece that we use for our production always from the best selected sources all over the world.
3. What are a few common things people should look for when shopping for jewelry online?
It is hard to say, because nowadays with a few well photoshopped images anyone can make whatever piece look more attractive than it actually is. However, I am not saying people should ignore the look, which is, of course, one of the most important features of a jewel, but also the choice of materials. But with jewels it works pretty much as with love: if you fall in love it’s a good thing, but still, you should not just use your heart but also your brain to figure out if that’s what you really want and if it’s worth the price, specially online…it takes a lot of research to figure it out unless you are dealing with a good referenced company.
4. How have you gone about marketing your store and what’s working for you?
Well, so far we’ve been in the “physical” market only, the online idea came after realizing the huge importance of new medias that make everything easier from some point of views nowadays. Therefore we are trying to transpose the feelings, the passion and the beauty that already conquered the market in Rome and in Italy. We also try to make people understand that we do not accept compromises: they have to be aware that what they get from us is only handmade and high quality.
5. What are your future plans for 2014 and beyond?
Our plans for 2014 and beyond…to make our brand known worldwide, which is totally possible for two reasons: first, because we are sure the international market is easily reachable with the help of the internet or at least is much easier than it was in the past; second, because we believe in what we do and we will transmit to people the passion for what we offer, original handmade precious made with high care, enthusiasm and competence, satisfying classic, modern and original tastes, combined with the natural passion for the Made in Italy.

People all around the world are beginning to learn that CBD offers just as much for their pet’s health as it does for their own!
You may not realize it, but pets can also benefit from CBD. People around the world are slowly coming around to see CBD as much more than just something associated with marijuana or drugs. More and more medical and scientific studies are confirming what many people have always known about CBD; it’s much more than just part of marijuana.
CBD oil for pets has been used to treat a variety of different conditions, including symptoms associated with cancer treatments, situational anxiety, seizures, inflammation, and much more. Below we’re going to talk about what CBD oil is and how CBD oil could be helpful to your furry friend.
What Is Cannabidiol and What Is Cannabidiol Oil?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the two main cannabinoids which are found in both the hemp and marijuana plants. Unlike the other main cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD won’t get you or your pet high. As a matter of fact, CBD has no psychoactive properties at all. There are actually over 100 cannabinoids in the hemp and marijuana plants, which are both parts of the cannabis Sativa plant family.
CBD oil is extracted from hemp and marijuana plants, with CBD oil extracted from marijuana plants, usually referred to as cannabis oil or full-spectrum cannabis oil. There are a variety of different extraction methods used to get the CBD from the plants. It depends on which method is used to determine what type of CBD oil product you get at the end of the process.
There are three main types of CBD oil to choose from, each with their own pros and cons:
Full Spectrum CBD Oil – Full spectrum CBD oil is made utilizing all of the plant material. This includes other cannabinoids, trichomes, flavonoids, terpenes, and essential oils. You need to be aware that some full-spectrum CBD oils contain THC.
Broad Spectrum CBD Oil – Broad Spectrum is very similar to full-spectrum CBD oil, but it has had all the THC removed. It still has other cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes, but there is no THC.
- CBD Isolate – As the name suggests, CBD isolate is CBD in its purest form. It has had all the other cannabinoids, plant material, flavonoids and terpenes stripped from it during processing.
What Are the Benefits of CBD Oil for Dogs?
CBD oil can be used on dogs to treat a variety of different conditions. Some of the conditions which people are using CBD oil for on their dogs and pets are seizures, stress, situational anxiety, nausea, symptoms related to cancer and cancer treatment, pain, arthritis, stomach issues, and inflammation.
How does the CBD oil work? The CBD interacts with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is made up of a series of small receptors that are spread throughout the body. The body produces endocannabinoids naturally, but when there is a deficiency, cannabinoids can replace the missing endocannabinoids. Imagine the receptors like small locks and the cannabinoids are the keys that unlock them.
One of the biggest benefits of using a natural compound like CBD oil for pets is that there aren’t as many negative side-effects as you would normally experience with opioid-based pain medications. There aren’t any life-threatening side-effects which could damage the kidneys, liver, or GI tract.
That doesn’t mean that there are no risks to pets or side-effects, but the chance is much lower than with traditional medications, and it’s important that you speak with your veterinarian professional before altering or switching medication.
How Is CBD Oil Administered to Dogs and Pets?
Although there are some topical CBD creams and lotions for dogs and pets, the easiest way to administer CBD is oral with CBD oil. CBD oil for dogs and pets can be used with other medications and treatments and is easily added to foods, treats, and drinks.
Learning the correct dosage amounts for CBD oil is one of the most important aspects of unlocking the full potential of CBD. If you can understand the correct dosage, your dog or pet is going to get the full benefits of CBD Oil.
Currently, there hasn’t been a lot of testing in regard to the correct dosages of CBD oil for our pets, but most experts agree to start off slowly. Start off with small amounts of CBD oil and then gradually increase the frequency of dosages and also the amounts until you find a comfortable level for your dog or pet. If you notice any negative side-effects, cease using CBD oil immediately and consult with a professional veterinarian.
Where Can Pet Owners Get CBD Oil for Their Dogs or Pets?
There are a variety of different laws governing the types of CBD oil you get for your dogs or pets, and it’s important that you check the regulations before ordering. If you have been searching for a CBD oil or CBD tincture for your dog or pet, then the range of Xtracted CBD CBD-infused Freeze-dried Chicken Pet Treats are perfect!
These CBD treats are carefully formulated with Xtracted full-spectrum CBD oil and made using a full range of premium ingredients which are free of pesticides, GMO’s, herbicides, heavy metals, corn, soy & gluten. Each contains roughly 4mg of premium CBD. Your dog is going to love them!
It’s important to start off slowly with CBD oil and your pets and ensure you monitor them for any negative side-effects. If you start off with low dosages, you will then be able to increase the dosage amounts and also the frequency of the dosages until you find a level that suits your dog or pet.

In his response to an earlier post here, Mark Langager reported that he raised one of my favourite puzzles about juku with undergraduate students at Int’l Christian Univ: why are there no boys’ or girls’ juku?
In some ways, this question neatly sums up one of my theoretical interest in supplementary education.
Educational policy around the world for the past twenty years or so has discovered the market as a cure-all for whatever seems to ill education. The most prominent examples of the introduction of market mechanisms are league tables of schools and universities, various forms of Quality Assessment Exercises, vouchers, charter schools, etc. Where researchers have attempted to assess the impact of this introduction of market mechanisms, the results have generally been mixed. Chris Lubienski at the Univ of Illinois has written extensively about this assessment.
In response, the proponents of the marketization of education have often complained that various implementations – such as vouchers – have not gone far enough in creating ‘real’ markets.
As I have argued elsewhere, juku in metropolitan Japan are pretty close to a real consumer market. Purchase of juku services is entirely voluntary, the juku are run for-profit and would-be consumers have access to a plethora of information about the offers available. Parents and students in metropolitan regions also don’t shy away from long commuting distances. Notably, the supplementary education industry in Japan is entirely unregulated.
Consumers active in this market (aka parents/保護者, students) express their consumer choice by enrolling in single-sex schools in significant numbers at the upper primary and secondary level. Note that this is an expression of consumer preference in the not-so-quite marketized conventional school system.
Yet, despite this expressed consumer preference, the supplementary education industry does not offer single-sex options, i.e. there are no girls’ or boys’ juku.
I will return to this question periodically, I imagine, as I really am puzzled by it.
As Mark Langager mentioned, his students speculated that juku operators would not want to limit their potential customer base by focusing on girls or boys only.
If juku had a very limited geographic area to draw on (this is, of course, true for more and more owner-operated juku in metropolitan regions) or if they generally had very large number of students, I would agree entirely. It thus doesn’t seem plausible for a chain to market itself as a girls-only juku chain, thus excluding a large number of potential customers.
Staying with the example of a very large juku, however, why not offer boys-only classes within the juku? Classes are often subdivided according to academic abilities in such large juku.
On the other hand, in a smaller, owner-operated juku, why not exploit a single-sex focus as a viable market niche, again given the expressed consumer preference for single-sex education?
Interestingly, when I have posed this question to groups of juku operators in the past, they’ve been largely puzzled and have not been able to offer any explanations.
More on this to come…

When I was thinking about what I would make for the family for Father’s Day, I knew I wanted to grill. And that included dessert. But other than just grilled fruit I didn’t know what to pair it with. Then I remembered how divine the Roasted Strawberries with Balsamic Reduction tasted so I wanted to try that again. Only with kabobs and adding a bit of honey.
Let me tell you right now, if you have never grilled fruit, you have to do it. Like right now. Go ahead and go and get some fruit. I’ll wait.
Got it? Ok, now that you have your favorite fruit, all you have to do is slap on some of this tasty honey balsamic glaze, grill it up and you are set. The heat from the grill makes the sweetness from the fruit come out and combined with the glaze you have one of the best desserts you’ve ever tasted.
My parents and I literally stood over this dish and ate it up as soon as they came off the grill. So good!
Grilled Fruit Kabobs with a Honey Balsamic Glaze
Fresh Pineapple chunks
Fresh peaches, sliced
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Preheat an indoor electric grill to high heat.
Using a kabob skewer, add fruit to each skewer, alternating fruit.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey and balsamic vinegar. Brush the glaze on the kabobs and place on the heated grill. Let cook for around 3 minutes. Add glaze to fruit and turn over. Cook for additional 3 minutes.
