Imagine. In 1922, Irish author James Joyce published his novel, Ulysses, and the central character Leopold Bloom, holds both court and Jewish blood. It would be remiss to believe Joyce could ever have held Anti-Semitic views,after creating such a loveable character as Bloom. Instead, you just know Joyce had to have been an ardent admirer of Jews, even though he dwells not on Bloom's Hebraic roots, but on Bloom as a personality of interest.
But where Joyce, as author, was highbrow enough to offer literary if not humanistic acceptance of a member of the tribe, certainly at a time where the same lovefest for Jews in Britain, if not the world, was questionable, the same humanity Joyce expended cannot be said today of others, including Irish authoress Sally Rooney, who has made public her distaste for Israel, the only Democracy in the Middle East.
So much so, that she decided - in a well-publicized photo opportunity - not to permit Modan, the Israeli Publishing House which had originally translated her works into Hebrew, to continue their professional relationship.
While no doubt, librarians and other enthusiasts of humane underpinnings against censorship must pity of find repugnant Rooney The Fool, her decision to relinquish her relationship with Modan, certainly shows that she has an intended audience for her latest book, Beautiful World. This elite group could include others.
How about having a literary evening with such UGLIES as Ben & Jerry, Unilever, Haaretz, Roger Waters, Lorde, The Islamic Republic of Iran, Al Qaeda, The Taliban, United Nations, UNRWA, Hamas, Palestinian Authority, Jimmy Carter, Holocaust Revisionists, Britain's Labour Party, and likeminded literary intelletuals, like the JVP ones to be found on college campuses?.
Who else would relish Rooney's or Waters' uneducated, brainwashed hostility toward the Jewish State?
While there are times when those who at first show themselves befuddled have an epiphany, as of now, Rooney's looney-tune against Israel is no Beautiful World. Hate never is.
Her attempt to censor Modan from translating her latest work into Hebrew shows she's at a loss for words - and decency. James Joyce would not be amused.
L.Charm Tenenbaum, an ardent Zionist, is an alumnus of John Jay College of Criminal Justice and on the cusp of finishing her first book, a work of historical fiction Where The Modern White House Converges With Tudor England.

Silver Fork Winery Engagement Photos – Morganton North Carolina
I love my clients! It’s so strange…in the photography world, a photographer tends to attract a certain type of client. Our photographic style is a reflection of who we are – we shoot the way we feel, put it up on the website, and it tends to attract like-minded clients who identify with that style. My style tends to be bold, candid, artistic, and adventurous….and that’s exactly the type of person that tends to hire me as a photographer. Two of those clients are Chris and Melissa. They are a wonderful, vibrant couple that are all about sharing their experiences together. That’s what life is all about anyway, right? And boy, do they share experiences. I am a bit jealous of their lifestyles. Melissa stays busy as an owner at Skyland Animal Hospital in Asheville North Carolina. Their free time is completely packed with adventure – Sometimes small adventures like running in locak 5k races, and sometimes huge like traveling through Mexico to witness the migration the Monarch Butterflies. So when they contacted me about doing something a bit different for their engagement session, I jumped at the chance for another adventure.
Melissa and Chris are getting married next year at the Silver Fork Winery – a beautiful winery in the mountains of North Carolina. As a location, it is already something different, but since we all enjoy hiking and the great outdoors, we wanted to make it even more personal. So we extended it to another location – one of my favorite photo locations – Black Balsam Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway. If this area sounds familiar, it’s because I’ve shot here before: For Matt and Lee, and Allison and Kevin’s engagement sessions. It’s a favorite of mine from my landscape photography days, and I love using the area for adventurous couples that want their photos to show them doing what they love together.
If that wasn’t enough by itself, we also decided to try something totally new: To incorporate some astrophotography with their engagement photos while at Silver Fork. This was by far the most difficult type of photo I’ve ever attempted. Night photography is completely different from portrait and engagement photography in every way – it requires perfect dark sky conditions, and has a unique set of challenges to overcome from focus challenges to lighting difficulties, and requires a ton of planning. Not all my clients are adventurous enough to want to take photos in the dead of night, under a moonless sky miles and miles from civilization, so thank you to Melissa and Chris for allowing me the opportunity to attempt such a rewarding challenge. I am looking forward to working for with Melissa and Chris in the future. Check out a few of my favorite images from this engagement session below:
Do you and your fiance also want engagement photos like these? Mountain engagement photos are a specialty of mine, and I offer these photo adventures as part of my Extended Engagement packages. Contact me today!

How to Help Old People Live Better
In the last ten years our society is more advanced. Old people also live more happily.
But we just noticed old people‘s material life. In fact old people‘s mental life is more important to them. Because old people are very lonely. I have three methods for this question. Firstly， young people should communicate to old people. They should exchange their ideas. Then they can understand each other more easily. The old people may be happier.
Secondly， old people also should understand young people‘s pressure. They should know why the young people can‘t talk with them.
Finally， society also should hold some activities for old people. To protect their life more colorful and greater!
Thank you so much for your warmhearted invitation of spending my summer vocation at your hometown, a quiet and beautiful country. I have been waiting for it so long. But, unfortunately, I have to go back my own hometown, a hot and noisy city, for my sister just got an admission from a university and she is preparing for it. As an elder brother, I must help her in both mental and physical ways.
So sorry for missing the good chance to join you at your home. Next year, we will spend summer together, our summer.
Send my greetings to your parents, please. I'll visit them next year.
Take care !

How to Make the Best Use of College Life
It is beyond doubt that we enjoy more free time in college than in middle
school. But as to how to make use of our spare time, different students hold
sharply different views.
In order to earn money, a good number of undergraduates are busy doing
part-time jobs. In this way, they can relieve their families’ financial burden
to some extent. Besides, they can achieve more independence through their work.
Others are confronted by countless exams and they often attend guidance lectures
in the hope of improving their performance in these tests. They believe that a
record of good exam results will be useful when they look for jobs in the
As far as I am concerned, I will live my college life in a different way.
On the one hand, as a student, I will give priority to the development of my
knowledge and skills, so I am determined to spend most of my spare time studying
hard. On the other hand, I think it is necessary for me to join one or more of
the student associations. These associations can provide chances to improve my
communicating skills and make my life colorful. In conclusion, I do believe that
my college life will turn out to be colorful as well as fruitful。
Directions: For this part, you are supposed to write a composition of about 100 - 120 wordsbased on the following situation. Remember to write it dearly.

A patent is the form of intellectual property valid for 20 years. The Patent is not considered after its 20 years passes. A patent can be renewed before the completion of 20 years. This happens when patentee does not pay the renewal fee for the specified period of time. Sometimes fails to pay the extendable period is 6 months (when requested).
The Indian Patent act provides and governs the patent. Provision of Safeguarding and restoring patents are given in this act. The patentee has to pay a certain amount of prescribed fee useful renewal. In certain conditions, a patent was held by two or more persons jointly then with the leave of the Controller one or more of them without joining. There are certain conditions in which others may submit the application for restoration within eighteen months from the date on which the patent is ceased to have the effect.
Renewal fees can be paid by any person but the application for the restoration of a lapsed patent, the application has to be made by the patentee or his legal representative. In case the patentee or legal representative fails to pay the renewal fee within the prescribed period and also within the extendable period of six months by requesting the extension of time, the patent ceases to have effect or lapses from the date of expiration.
Procedure to restore a lapsed patent
- An application must be filed within 18months within the date patent cease to have the effect. In that condition patentee or Legal representative has to make an application.
- Evidence can be presented in the form of the document if fees are not paid on time
- Patentee claims the evidence which must support that the failure of payment was unintentional and there has been no undue delay in applying for restoration of the patent.
- In case, the prima facie case is not agreed on behalf of the controller then for restoration is made out, the applicant is notified of it and unless the applicant states within one month.
- Sometimes an application may be refused if the patentee fails to register a change of name before cessation; they must first apply for alteration in the register.
- If the name changes after it then their identity has to be proved.

All content of this site, unless otherwise noted, is copyright ©2001-2013 Robert Bly. All Rights Reserved. Any duplication, in any form without the written consent of the copyright holder is prohibited.
This book is an ambitious collecting of over 190 poems not included in Robert Bly’s recent selected poems, Stealing Sugar from the Castle. Ranging back to some of his earliest publications in the early 1960s, Like the New Moon gathers work from many of Bly’s smaller, more obscure publications, including a number of poems that have never before appeared in any book. With a special focus on the more Chinese-influenced strain of Bly’s work with its room for movement, spontaneity and openness, this volume is a feast for Bly fans and collectors alike. Like the New Moon is knowledgeably edited by White Pine publisher Dennis Maloney, with an introduction by Thomas R. Smith who identifies these poems collectively as "Bly’s less-traveled road," holding many delights for the poetry reader willing to venture off the beaten path.
In 1962, when Robert Bly was about to publish his first full-length book of poems, he also released from his Sixties Press this small sampling of his poems along with others by friends and colleagues William Duffy and James Wright. Duffy was the co-editor of Bly’s influential Fifties and Sixties magazines, and Wright a frequent collaborators in Bly’s translations projects. Both friends were intensely interested in the image-based poetry Bly was writing and promoting in the magazine, for which The Lion’s Tail and Eyes is also a showcase. Long a rare and expensive collector’s item, this handsome facsimile edition by White Pine Press brings back into affordable availability an essential poetic document of the 1960s. John Logan called the original edition "an unusual, exciting volume which serves ideally to lead readers into the extraordinary creative world of three Minnesota poets…who together are bringing to American poetry a powerful new direction away from academicism."
Selected from throughout Robert Bly’s monumental body of work from 1950 through the present, and including eight stunning new poems, Stealing Sugar from the Castle represents the culmination of an astonishing career in American letter. Ranging from early poems of the 1950s published in his ground-breaking first book, Silence in the Snowy Fields, to a generous selection of the American ghazal form Bly has pioneered over the past two decades, this book forms the definitive record of a dazzlingly inventive and original journey through 20th century poetry. As the Huffington Post comments, "Bly is dedicated to reintegrating poetry with life - daily life, the life of the body, spiritual and political life." The third and biggest of Bly's volumes of selected poems over a 30-year period, Stealing Sugar from the Castle will stand as the definitive summary of Bly’s joyful and spirited labor in service of poetry and the soul.
Reflecting Robert Bly's lifelong fascination with poetic
form, the poems in Talking into the Ear of a Donkey range from free verse to Bly's invented form, the ramage, to his American version of the Mideastern ghazal. In the title poem, Bly addresses a "donkey," which may be poetry itself, which has carried him over a writing life of more than six decades: "I have been talking into the ear of a donkey. / I have so much to say! And the donkey can't wait / To feel my breath stirring the immense oats / Of his ears." These poems, emotionally varied, wise and far-ranging in their intellectual and cultural reference, stand at the very height of Bly's achievement. They show the poet in his ninth decade, still full of amazement and gratitude. He says in "What the Old Poets Failed to Say": "The sunlight on wheat-heads in August holds me firmly, / For I am in love with the wheat soon to be cut. / Let's thank whoever it was who kept sorrow alive."
Readers of The Night Abraham Called to the Stars will instantly recognize the literary style and landscape of My Sentence Was a Thousand Years of Joy; as in the earlier volume, Robert Bly serves up an abundant feast of 48 of his "American" ghazals. But these poems drive even deeper into the ecstatic than the earlier poems did. In fact, many are inspired by ecstatic music from other cultures, especially the Iranian and the Indian. In a poem dedicated to the sitar player David Whetstone, Bly says: "Every sitar note strikes a bargain with the one / Who arranges things. One note says, 'A year in heaven.'" Each poem is made up of six three-line stanzas, many of which can stand as tiny, provocative poems in themselves. But taken all together they make an unforgettable, image-saturated meditation on the most profound spiritual realities of life, death, love, and grief.
In the early 60s, Robert Bly's first poetry collection, Silence in the Snowy Fields, came as a fresh breeze to clear away the stale odor that hung over much American poetry. Influenced by Chinese and Spanish poetry, the Snowy Fields poems spoke a language of images rather than exhausted abstractions. Those who love Bly's early poems will be delighted by The Urge to Travel Long Distances, which collects 20 more poems from that time, written on the farm in western Minnesota. All have been largely unavailable, and some never published before the appearance of this beautifully designed collection. Here is the title poem: "Tonight, after riding, and translating a few poems from the Danish, / I sawed off wild shoots from the box elder trees. / In the spring night we are not content to be home. / We have urges to travel long distances in the misty dusk."
Densely allusive, imaginatively bold, and sometimes darkly funny, each of the 48 poems in The Night Abraham Called to the Stars shares the same form of six three-line stanzas, Bly’s adaptation of the Eastern ghazal form. Bly’s approach is unique in its muscular leaping, a power Bly has developed from the beginning of his literary career in the 1950s. One can feel Bly “doubling the madness,” ratcheting the already considerable intensity of his art up a few more notches, to electrify and challenge the reader in his most powerful collection to date.
This book against the Iraq War is illuminated by Bly’s insights into the mass psychology of the war and its spiritual roots in the Islamic concept of the nafs, or “greedy soul.” “We can surmise,” says Bly, “that the greedy longing for 95 TV channels is related to the greedy longing for a new war.” To some of his earlier poems written during the Vietnam War, Bly has added five new poems in the ghazal form, a form that contributed to the power of his book The Night Abraham Called to the Stars, published by HarperCollins in 2001. These poems include the now-famous poem "Call and Answer," which was one of the first poems written against the war, published in The Nation in August of 2002. Bly's new poems reach for that larger voice to which he has always been committed. Available for purchase online via PayPal at Ally Press.
This landmark 1999 selection features 200 poems chosen by Bly as the vital core of his work. Many previously unpublished or revised poems illuminate more familiar poems in this revelatory retrospective of one of America's most essential poets. If you own only a single Bly collection, this should be the one.
In this 1997 collection, Bly pays homage to his mentor William Stafford, who wrote a poem every morning. Playful and improvisatory, this book presents a side of Bly not seen before in his poetry . Probably the most concentrated glimpse of Bly's agile, restless creativity captured in a single volume.
One of the major themes of this collection ( at the time of publication his first all-new gathering in nine years) is the old age and death of his father. These poems, both tender and stark, lay out the wounding in both sides of the father-son relationship. Also includes his long poem "Anger Against Children" and a visionary sequence of "Not Caring" poems.
The subtitle is a slight misnomer, because this volume doesn't sample Bly's first prose poem collection, the exotic This Body Is Made of Camphor and Gopherwood. But almost all of the other notable prose poems are her, in a survey that practically redefines its genre.
Angels of Pompeii (with Stephen Brigidi)
This collaboration between Bly and photographer Stephen Brigidi centers around angels or other divine beings painted in the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Bly's poems (many previously unavailable) are surprisingly harmonious with Bridigi's photos of gorgeously peeling walls. Heavier on photos than on poems, of which there are eight.
Published in 1986, Bly's first selected poems differs significantly from his more recent selection, Eating the Honey of Words. Bly radically revises poems from Sleepers Joining Hands especially. Each section is prefaced with brief but illuminating essays tracing the evolution of Bly's poetry from book to book. Students and lovers of Bly's poetry will want to own both volumes. [more info: Amazon Books Online]
In his love poems, published in 1985, Bly strikes deeper into the intricacies of man-woman relationships than most of his contemporaries. Following the Chinese masters, he is especially inventive in his delicate use of natural imagery to suggest the pleasures of lovemaking. This book bursts with heart. [more info: Amazon Books Online]
This 1981 collection, with its mythological resonance and intricate stanza forms, was one of Bly's most revolutionary in its time. "Black Coat" is the point where Bly's poetry meets his fascination with the male psyche, laying the poetry foundation for his subsequent work with men and his prose work, Iron John.
In this 1979 collection, Bly revisits the western Minnesota terrain and plainspoken style of his first collection, Silence in the Snowy Fields. While in many ways a sequel to Snowy Fields, the poems here reflect a deepened awareness of Sufism and Jung that relates them spiritually and psychologically to Camphor and Gopherwood and Black Coat.
All of the poems in this little book (originally published by Unicorn Press but then taken over by Ally Press) later turned up in the larger collection, This Tree Will Be Here for a Thousand Years. But that's no reason to pass this edition by. Embellished by the appropriately earthy yet somewhat spectral drawings of Franz Allbert Richter, this is one of Bly's most visually attractive editions.
These 1977 prose poems delight in the wild "leaps" and associative connections discovered by the meditative mind in solitude. A showcase for Bly's imaginative reach at its most muscular, this book features one of Bly's most ecstatic affirmations of physical love, "We Love This Body," as well as the famous poem, "Finding the Father." Beautifully enhanced by Gendron Jensen's pencil drawings. [more info: Amazon Books Online]
Originally published in 1973 by a small press in Massachusetts, this volume belongs stylistically with the poems of Sleepers Joining Hands which appeared the same year. What gives this collection its unique flavor are the woodcuts of Wang Hui-Ming, which wonderfully complement the Chinese-influenced mood of the poems.
Bly's third volume is organized around an amazing essay that has defined his later work with gender issues, "I Came Out of the Mother Naked." Also includes his ferocious antiwar poem, "The Teeth Mother Naked at Last," and the ambitious title poem, a symbolic autobiography cast in visionary, Jungian images. One of Bly's most intellectually challenging volumes.
When Bly won the National Book Award for this 1967 collection, he publicly turned the prize money over to the Resistance. In these poems, he applies his psychological vision to American politics and history to strikingly original effect. Some of his most concise and penetrating poems on the Vietnam War are here.
Bly's first collection, published in 1962, disarmed readers and critics with its clear-sighted intelligence and apparent simplicity. Unlike much of the academically based American poetry of its time, Snowy Fields aimed at a kind of Oriental balance in which human beings participate in but do not dominate nature. Many still find this one of Bly's most healing books.

Incoming Chief Mark Morgan urged to bring transparency and accountability reforms during key oversight committee hearing
Washington D.C. – Unaccountable, highly intrusive Border Patrol interior checkpoints have infringed on the quality of life of border residents, resulting in unchecked cases of excessive force, racial profiling and widespread civil and human liberties abuses -- all at a high cost, but with questionable effectiveness.
That’s the message by Southern Border Communities Communities Coalition’s director, Christian Ramírez, during a Homeland Security hearing titled “Moving the Line of Scrimmage: Re-examining the Defense in Depth Strategy.” The hearing by the House Homeland Security Committee's Border and Maritime Security Subcommittee focuses on U.S. Border Patrol's role at interior checkpoints along the country’s border communities, and will be Mark Morgan's first appearance before a congressional committee as the incoming Chief of the Border Patrol.
“For border residents, the land of the free that most enjoy has been converted into the land of checkpoints. In no other part of this nation are people required to prove who they are as they go about their daily lives, going to work or shopping. Imagine if these checkpoints existed inside the Beltway.”

[To read SBCC and ACLU joint statement, click here]
Ramirez’ testimony brings to light community experiences that have become all-too-common among the 12 million residents within 100 miles of the border who are subjected to Border Patrol checkpoints and roving patrols on a daily basis. During the hearing, he urged Congress to:
- Roll back the antiquated 100-mile zone for checkpoints and roving patrols.
- Reduce the area where agents can enter private property without a warrant to 10 miles.
- Implement robust oversight mechanisms, including comprehensive data collection and public reporting on Border Patrol’s roving patrol and checkpoint activities.
- Ban racial and religious profiling.
Border communities have urged Commissioner Kerlikowske to hold CBP, the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, to the highest law enforcement standards. Ramirez joins the Subcommittee in welcoming incoming Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan and urges him to scale back checkpoints and bring greater accountability and transparency to all Border Patrol operations to improve the quality of life and restore trust with border communities.

A majority of American adults either believe, or are unsure, about a common piece of misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, a new survey finds.
The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) Vaccine Monitor found 78 percent of American adults had heard of and either believed or were unsure about one of eight false claims about the pandemic.
Claims included the government is exaggerating Covid deaths, the vaccines cause infertility or that the anti-parasite drug ivermectin is effective at treating Covid.
Nearly a third of Americans either believe or are unsure about four or more of the false claims.
Nearly 80% of Americans believe or are unsure about at least one falsehood about Covid, with the most common being that the government is exaggerating overall death totals
People who believe or are unsure about falsehoods about Covid are most likely to be unvaccinated, Republican, young and non-college educated, the survey finds
The most commonly believed piece of misinformation is that the government is overreporting Covid deaths, with 38 percent believing it, and 22 percent unsure if it is false.
Some also believe the government is covering up deaths from the Covid vaccines, with 18 percent believing it to be true and 17 percent reporting that they were unsure.
Another common piece of misinformation is that pregnant women should not get the COVID-19 vaccines, which 17 percent believe and 22 percent were unsure about.
Pregnant women were not always recommended to get the vaccines like the rest of the population was, though.
Initially, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended women to speak to a doctor before getting their shots, and did not issue a blanket recommendation.
That recommendation came over summer, but pregnant women are still well behind the rest of the nation’s pace.
According to the CDC, 35 percent percent of pregnant women are fully vaccinated, half of the pace set by the general population of adults – at 70 percent fully vaccinated.
Fighting against misinformation to convince Americans to get vaccinated or to follow Covid protocols has proved to be a challenge for public health officials throughout the pandemic. Pictured: A man in New York City, New York, gets vaccinated for COVID-19 on May 12, 2021
Other falsehoods about the vaccines that people believe include that you can get COVID-19 from the vaccine, that the vaccines contain microchips or that the jabs can change a person’s DNA.
In total, the KFF team found that 78 percent of adults believe at least one of these falsehoods, and 32 percent believed four or more.
An overwhelming number of unvaccinated people have fallen for Covid misinformation, with 95 percent reporting they either believed or were unsure of at least one falsehood.
Many vaccinated people, 78 percent, also were found to believe a falsehood about the jab.
Republicans, 94 percent believing at least one falsehood about the pandemic, were more likely than Democrats, 62 percent, and independents, 79 percent, to have fallen for misinformation.
Those who fall for misinformation are also younger and less educated, on average.
The monitor also asked respondents what news sources they received their information from.
Those who frequented right-leaning news sources like Newsmax, One America News and Fox News were more likely to believe vaccine falsehoods than those who use liberal-leaning sources of news like CNN, MSNBC and NPR.
Those who believe or are unsure about falsehoods about COVID-19 are more likely to get their news from sources like Newsmax, One America News or Fox News, the survey finds
Fighting to break American adults of these falsehoods has proved to be a challenge for health officials in getting people to follow Covid protocols and get vaccinated.
While the U.S. has reopened now for the most part, early on there was largescale backlash to pandemic related lockdowns and school closures.
Now, with the vaccines available, many American are still hesitant to receive them despite widespread efforts to get people jabbed.
The KFF Vaccine for October found that 16 percent of Americans will ‘definitely not’ get the jab, the most since the shot became available in December.
As of Monday afternoon, the CDC reports that 80 percent of American adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 70 percent are fully vaccinated.

Editor's note about Changemakers: This is part of a continuing series of stories and columns about people and places fostering change in our communities.
COVINGTON – Just beyond the buzz of Interstate 75 traffic jams and thundering semi trucks roosts an easy-to-miss corner of Covington.
Unlike this city's northern edge, homes here don't boast scenic river views or sprawling city skyline scenes. Chipping paint, boarded up doors or an empty building shell are the more likely encounter for a passerby.
But brick by brick and beam by beam, the aging relics spread across Covington's Westside neighborhood are getting a new shot at life.
Leading the transformation is the Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington, a nonprofit developer that’s tackling a host of projects crafted to revamp the newly expanded Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
By June, the nonprofit developer expects to wrap up a more than $2-million-remake of the former Hellman Lumber Mill along Martin Luther King Jr. In it’s prime, the mill's workers were masters in hand-crafted woodworking designs that still adorn Covington’s oldest homes and institutions across the region.
The historic 19th century building is being renovated into a nearly 14,000-square-foot community event center with room for leasable artist studios and renovated offices for the Center for Great Neighborhoods.
The property “represents what Covington’s Westside is all about,” said Rachel Hastings, director of community development at the center. “It was built for the workers. For people who worked in the rope factory, the Bavarian Brewery and the mill.”
As the nonprofit spreads its investment footprint, Hastings says the Hellman building will serve as a reminder of the kind of neighborhood revival leaders hope to achieve here.
“It’s not just about bringing in a bunch of hipsters,” Hastings said. “We think we can bring in new folks, but also help folks who’ve lived through the harder times here be part of a new day for their neighborhood. This building, we think, can be the hub for reactivating this entire corridor.”
Building Equity, One Property at a Time
Beyond the Hellman mill, the nonprofit’s investments are spreading fast.
For long-time and new residents, the nonprofit is investing $1.45 million over the next three years into a neighborhood-wide facelift. Through a program dubbed “Creative Facades,” homeowners and businesses can apply for grants to help dress up and fix their properties' exteriors.
“So often when organizations are investing in neighborhoods, there’s a bunch of new construction or renovation that happens, but there’s no real opportunity for residents who already live there to invest and build equity,” Hastings said. “We want to make sure that residents have a way to participate and benefit from an improving neighborhood.”
Meanwhile, across the Westside the agency has invested nearly $8 million to buy up empty and decaying properties -- big and small.
In partnership with a city of Covington program that targets tax delinquent properties in need of repairs, the nonprofit buys foreclosed properties with a commitment to rehab it or find an investor “with the capacity to take on the work,” Hastings said.
Just across from the Hellman mill, the center now owns a row of vacant buildings that a yoga studio and a bakery are eyeing.
“We’re not putting up big ‘For Rent’ signs yet,” Hastings said. “So, it’s great to know that much of the interest is happening by word of mouth.”
Other properties are being snatched up by homebuyers like Fritz Kuhlman. An architect and real estate agent, Kuhlman expects to close in the New Year on a home on Fisk Avenue owned by the center and just a block from the Hellman building.
"There are so many great things going on in this neighborhood,” Kuhlman said. “The expansion of MLK has really turned out to be this unifying investment that’s attracting new businesses and looks lovely for the properties along it.”
Moving Beyond ‘State of Paralysis’
For decades, Hastings says, property owners along Martin Luther King Jr. “were in a state of paralysis” as Kentucky’s legislature debated whether to expand it – a move that would eventually require significant property acquisitions by the state.
“For 25 years they fought about this,” Hastings said. “As a result almost no one invested in any of the buildings because it was completely unknown if they were eventually going to be bought and torn down.”
When the road was finally expanded in 2009, the historic Hellman Lumber mill was among the properties saved from the wrecking ball.
“We had our eye on this building for quite awhile,” said Hastings, whose agency bought the property for $500,000 from the state.
While artists' spaces will be available for lease, the space will serve as incubator for creative ideas and new business launches as well, Hastings said. The nonprofit is exploring forgiveable loan programs for artists and crafters who agree to also use some of their time teaching others their talents or lending their skills to the neighborhood’s overhaul.
“We think it’s very exciting that the new incarnation of the building will carry on the same creative spirit that embodied the wood-working business here and Covington’s Westside,” she said.

It all begins during the early 90's, while on a sales and marketing assignment in the Northern California Wine Country, an old recipe came into my possession. I was staying in a lovely bed and breakfast in Sonoma County. LIKE most B&Bs there was a lending library. Having always loved the classics I picked up the copy of Steinbeck's “The Grapes of Wrath.”
While reading the book during my flight home I found an old thank you note tucked away into the pages. Curiosity got the better of me and I opened the envelope simply addressed to “R”.
Thank you for opening your lovely home to us. The dinner was equal to any that I have experienced in San Francisco. I have copied great grandmother Rozella's wine dripple recipe from the old country, as I know it will be delightful made from your wines.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.
I found the note to be quaint and used it as a bookmark while reading the book. When I returned home I placed the book complete with thank you note and dripple recipe on my bookshelf. As life moves forward at warp speed I simply forgot about the handwritten note from long ago. During the fall of 2012 while visiting the Sonoma wine country, I had a mental flash back to my former life, the B&B, the book and the dripple recipe. I suddenly felt exhausted after the long day's work and the end result of finding the long lost dripple recipe

The Provisional Assessment Pilot, only one year into the two year pilot, has been hailed a success by Lord Justice Jackson (see Report on the Provisional Assessment Pilot). He recommends that it is rolled out nationally.
The scheme covers bills up to £25,000. The first thought is how are junior law costs draftsmen and costs lawyers going to gain advocacy experience if these bills are all assessed on paper (a similar kind of problem the junior bar faces with the loss of much low level advocacy to solicitors)? The second thought is how many bills under £25,000 will there be once fixed fees are extended across the fast-track? The third thought is have I got a big enough pension pot to consider early retirement?
The report advises there were 119 cases in the pilot during the first year. After provisional assessment only 2 cases proceeded to an oral hearing. In neither case did the requesting party achieve an improvement of 20% or more upon what it had secured in the provisional assessment. There’s a surprise.
The average time spent on each provisional assessment was 37 minutes and the median time was 40 minutes. Experience during the second year of the pilot suggests that where provisional assessment is carried out by a district judge who is not a regional costs judge (and therefore has less experience of assessing costs) 60 minutes should be allowed for the exercise. Make of that what you will.
The report found that the process is far cheaper for the parties than traditional detailed assessment, because (save in rare cases) they avoid the costs of preparing for and attending a hearing. DJs Hill and Bedford estimate that the savings for the parties are at least £4,000 per case. (Not a thought for the poor lawyers who find themselves out of pocket. It’s like trying to encourage healthy lifestyles without a thought for the doctors and nurses who may find themselves out of work as a result.)
It looks as though provisional assessment will be rolled out nationally at the same time as the other major costs reforms (currently October 2012 although there are some suggestions this may be pushed back to April 2013).
Sir Rupert’s recent lecture on Assessment of Costs in the Brave New World reveals a number of important forthcoming amendments to the CPR and Costs Practice Direction. I’ll deal with some of these in bite size pieces over the coming days.

App Review -Onlive Desktop
Today’s App Review is Onlive Desktop by Onlive Inc.
This is an App I had been really excited about and had been counting down the days until the release. It seems that a lot of people were as the release date kept being put off and when the time came the systems were overloaded and it took repeated attempts to download it.
However, after all the fuss the App didn’t live up to my expectations. Having a mac and refusing to install Windows on Bootcamp I was looking forward to have this access as well as free copies of Office Applications.
The main issues I found was that the quality of the Applications wasn’t that fantastic and at times extremely pixelated. I also found the App prone to crashes and also it is impossible to transfer documents created between this and other Applications as you would with other document creators. It is also impossible to open files from emails, a feature I often use with Pages Application.
For now I will stick to my mac and Pages/Keynote on my iPad. Perhaps the App will improve into the future. Overall it is a great concept it just hasn’t worked to it’s full potential.
The App is free and it can be Downloaded here

How do we walk?Here you will find the simple instructions you need to start practicing, and the FAQs that usually come up regarding the practice
Frequently Asked Questions:
While we believe that you don’t need more than a basic understanding of the walking instructions (as presented in the video above) in order to begin to practice, we do understand that you may have some questions about what you’re doing and why, and these simple answers may help to release some of the tension you have regarding the practice, and help your mind to wander more freely.
- What should I wear?
- Anything comfortable. Don’t wear something that makes noise, like a bell, or other noisy jewelry.
- Can I take breaks?
- Yes, the practice isn’t strict. You can break for water, using the toilet, stretching, resting, or asking one of the facilitators a question. Just pay attention, if you are taking many breaks, maybe you are avoiding the practice.
- It doesn’t matter, whatever is comfortable.
- Anyone who wants to try this practice is more than welcome to do so. You can watch our Instructional Guidelines video, which is all the information you need in order to start the practice. That being said, there can be a certain advantage to walking with the group led by the facilitators, and if that is an option where you are, we recommend it. If it’s not an option, feel free to reach out to us via email or Facebook, and our facilitators are also happy to help guide you through the journey from afar.
- We recommend finding 4 days to do the walking where you have as little other obligations as possible, in order to allow yourself to experience the full process. The effects of the practice continue even when you’re not walking. You may find that you’re more sensitive, have more energy, or have less energy. Any way that the process manifests for you is fine, and having the space to allow the process to happen can be beneficial.
- Yes, there are toilets and cold water with reusable cups.
- Please speak to one of the facilitators before beginning to walk.
- Nothing is mandatory, though both sessions are strongly recommended.
- It is not recommended to detox or fast during your first Inner Walk experience. Once you have completed the first 4 days, you are welcome to explore the practice further in any way you want.
Questions about the experience
- Why do we walk barefoot?
- When we walk barefoot, we feel the feet more, and it helps us to wake up from our thoughts more often. If you are walking on grass, sand, or uneven ground, wear shoes.
- Why do we walk for 4 hours?
- In this practice we are training our “awareness” muscle. Whenever we train a muscle, it will only grow stronger and develop if we push it outside of its current capacity. Four hours of this type of observational awareness meditation is longer than our minds can handle. That’s where the growth happens.
- Why do we walk for 15 meters?
- It’s long enough for our mind to wander, but short enough for us not to stay asleep in our daydream for very long.
- Why do we walk in a group?
- We receive energetic support while walking, and we receive reflections to our experience during the sharing circle that can help us understand our own experience.
- Why do we walk on concrete?
- Any hard surface will do. A soft or comfortable surface would not wake us up as often.
- Why do we need to mark each end of the 15 meters?
- So that we don’t focus on how long we’ve walked, and have an external sign to turn around.
- Why should we look down at a 60-degree angle?
- Looking straight ahead keeps our attention on a focused spot, and we want to relax and allow the mind the wander. If we look around us So we keep our gaze at a comfortable angle towards the floor. That way our mind goes inward more, and wanders.
- Why should we turn around on the spot at each end?
- If we do a wide U turn into the angle, we don’t allow the turn to stop us and wake us up from our thoughts.
- What should I think about while I walk?
- There is nothing to focus on. Just walk. Whatever comes up, just see it, and continue walking. You also shouldn’t “try” not to focus on anything. Simply allow your mind to go where it goes. If you notice your mind trying to take control by counting steps, focusing on a conscious thought (“deciding” to think about something), repeating a mantra, or anything else – simply notice that it’s happening, and continue walking.
- What do I do if I struggle with a thought or an emotion while walking?
- Simply observe the thought or emotion and continue to walk. If you feel like it becomes too much, you can take a break or speak to one of the facilitators.
- What if I experience pain while I walk?
- This is perfectly normal. You can continue to walk and observe the pain. If you feel like it becomes too much, you can take a break.
- My hands feel funny, is this normal?
- You may experience, especially in the beginning, a strange sensation in your hands. You might feel a tingling, or your hands might get swollen. This is very common, and resolves quickly after you stop walking. It is a way for the body to expel the energy that it is shifting through the practice.
- What do I do if I feel like I’m too tired to walk?
- This is very common, simply continue to walk. You can observe the feeling of being tired, it will pass. If it continues, you can take a break.
- Can I use other meditation techniques that I have done before while I walk? (Mantra, counting, breathing, etc)
- Try not to revert to any previous meditation techniques you know of, and if it does happen, just see that it happened and continue to walk.
- Is there an “advanced level” of this practice?
- There are many ways to deepen your experience with the practice. For more information and guidance, please speak to one of the facilitators.

Hello world, Today I would like to introduce you to NewHalf Kanato . The last year we’ve seen her over on SheMale Japan was July 2009 when she did 3 galleries & videos. Well, I’m very happy to say she’s back!
SheMale Kanato is not an ordinary girl – she’s a TV celebrity in Japan, known for cosplaying anime characters. She’s beautiful, horny and when it comes to sex: she’s a bottom and she loves being dominated by men! For this set, gorgeous Kanato dresses in one of her sexy fetish outfits and plays with her BIG pole! I am sure you`ve heard of, if not know very well about, Cosplay. Did you also know that Cosplay based on anime characters has a big following in Japan? Kanato is a TV celebrity newhalf who owes her fame to cosplaying anime characters from such globally successful anime series as `CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion` and `MACROSS Frontier`.
Strictly speaking, Kanato is a cross-dresser rather than a Newhalf. She has never used hormones. However, when dressed up there is something about her that is so feminine and just very intriguing! Now living in Tokyo. She likes to spend her leisure time on hanging around Akihabara, Japan`s famous Electric Town, reading fantasy novels, and playing video games. She also likes to play the piano, a skill she`s had since childhood. Sexually SheMale Kanato is attracted to men. She loves to be topped in anime character costumes. When Kanato is in her Cosplay character her voice changes – she sounds like a genetic girl and guys have no idea.

Agnès Varda is a director who didn’t lose her vigilance, passion, curiosity and love for humankind until the end
For the last month, MUBI has been showcasing some of the works of the late French director Agnès Varda in commemoration of her work past and present. We are briefly reflecting on her style in Beaches of Agnès while exploring it in relation to her other films. This is a director who didn’t lose her vigilance, humour, passion, curiosity and love for humankind until the end.
In her beautiful and poignant film from 2008, Beaches of Agnès, almost a decade before joining her late husband in death, director Jacques Demy, Varda made a film of her life about cinema, art, friends, loves, growing up, her family, her preoccupations and artistic inspirations. It’s also about the beaches of her life, from growing up on the Belgian coastline to the French town of Sète, and further to all the beaches she visited in her rich, exciting but also humble and curious life.
For Varda, cinema is a light that comes from somewhere, captured by images dark or colourful. Before the films there were paintings and photographs of friends, family, and artistic collaborators. Varda creates a unique self-portrait, in which she is sometimes the sole centre, sometimes an innocent bystander, a curious child waiting for something to happen.
If you have never seen any of her films, Beaches of Agnès may not be the best place to start your cinematic journey. Her unhindered style and her lack of cinema savvy makes her filmmaking more personal, humane and down to earth.
Her mixing of documentary with fiction creates interesting plot disruptions and speeds up the delivery.
This is very well exemplified in her first picture, La Pointe- Courte. Two films in one, La Pointe Courte features sequences about life in the nominal fishing village alternating with the story of a young couple. The village boy and the Parisian girl try to work out their relationship before returning to Paris, together or separately.
Crowned as a first film of the French New Wave, La Pointe Courte is a seminal film in many ways. The couple’s unbearable dialogue, the no budget production value, the unrelated incidents between the ‘real’ townsman and the couple passing through – barely interested in their surroundings – are all classic ingredients of the new cinema.
The inability to relate to the world is a theme that floats through Varda’s films. Consider the young, uninhibited Sandra Bonnaire in Vagabond or Documenteur with the beautiful Sabine Mamou, who was Varda’s editor and assistant, playing Varda as a woman separated from her husband looking for a place to live with her son in a foreign country.
It’s the poetic, melancholic, meditative, at times haunting things like those beaches, with their fast disappearing sand, that make Vardas film captivating. They are not easy to digest although they often come in amazing Technicolor, like the heartbreaking La Bonheur or quirky Lions Love.
She found inspiration in painters such as Rene Magritte Lovers or Claude Monet. Varda was an avid art student and the influences of famous painters and photographers is more than evident.
Agnes Varda is often playful, such as in Beaches of Agnès, where we find mirrors on the beach, juxtapositions of just about every major event in her life. She struggled all her life to keep up with her vision and work, surrounded by men, confidants, friends, collaborators.
Her style is observant , inquisitive and radical. Verda’s work demonstartes is a flamboyant spirit and childlike curiosity mixed with a committed political agenda.
Beaches of Agnès gives a satirical and haunting – and sometimes sad – account of her long and fulfilled life. Sequence after sequence shows the death of someone close to her – or an idea.
The film can be seen as her capital work on life and death, her memory, her film-making confessions and struggles, emotional challenges.
Watching The Beaches of Agnes, filled with the props love and loss, fishnets and family portraits deftly situated in the sand, children playing Agnes and her sister, is a sweet and bitter experience. Varda often digs deep to exhume memories that don’t always want to be revisited.
These set pieces reveal as much as they hide. And some artefacts and memories are left unexplained, only hinted to us viewers, such as her time spent apart from Jacques and his reappearance shortly before his early death in 1990. There is a strong presence of time passing by, of death lurking behind the various delights.
The beach is an escape, a happy place, a place of inspiration and separation, reminding us that sea and sand work in their own way, regardless of our longings.
Agnes is aware of the power of nature and she is not afraid to embrace it. She is well known for her provocative and unique filming style, one tempered with confidence and humility. Most importantly, she was one of the most socially engaged filmmakers of the epoch. Her interest in the margins of society, workers, ecology, feminist movement, pro-choice politics, can be seen throughout her work.
It’s utterly charming, but don’t let that fool you. The bitter realities that inform her cinema can flip you from being charmed and to feeling crushed by the fabrication of happiness, the cruelty of modern world, poverty, lost ideals, lost love or helplessness.
Varda made friends throughout her life. Curiosity pushed her to take a plunge and I invite you to do the same.
(Beaches of Agnès features extracts from La Pointe Courte (1955) , Jacquot de Nantes (1991) , Documenteur (1981) , Lions Love ( 1969), Nausicaa (1970) , Black Panthers (1968), Mur murs ( 1981), Vagabond (1985) , Jane B par Agnès V. (1988), L’une chante l’autre pas (1977), A Hundred and One Night (1995) and not in this particular order.)

DETROIT, Mich. — Only the incomparable Aaron Martens could experience a day like he had Sunday. It was like some Bassmaster version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
|Aaron and Dave lament on the day and entire season.|
First, Martens slept through his alarm clock and woke up about the time the other 11 finalists in the Plano Bassmaster Elite at Lake St. Clair were motoring out of the Metropark takeoff area.
“I’ve never done that before,” he said. “When you wake up and see it’s light outside, you know you’re in deep doodoo.”
Martens didn’t get on the water until about 6:45. Then he used a six-inch swimbait on a half-ounce jighead with a 5/0 hook on 16-pound test line – some heavy tackle he hadn’t fished all week – to catch a five-bass limit of 19-6. So after inadvertently subtracting a half-hour from his competition time, Martens caught his biggest bag of the week.

Minnesota Representative Steve Simon asks the question
“How many more gay people does God have to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them around?” -- Steve Simon
Now, I'm clearly not religious and don't believe this is a religious issue or that religion should have any bearing on a legal issue. But, I'm glad Mr. Simon can speak to the people for whom this is a religious question. And I'm glad he can be so respectfully direct.

Popular Nigerian artiste, Rema has called out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP over the death of his father, Justice Ikubor.
Justice Ikubor before his death was a high-ranking member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State and former General Manager of the state-owned Ethiope Publishing Company.
It was gathered that Rema’s father was reportedly found dead in a room at Bins Hotel in Benin City in 2008.
His lifeless body was found alongside empty cans of energy drink.
However, Rema in one of his tweets on his Twitter page on Monday said the PDP owes him an explanation of what happened to his father in that hotel room.
Rema wrote: “PDP you all need to explain what happened to my father in that hotel room.
“Justice Ikubor’s son has risen.”

The ATEC building is a portal that connects artists with the community.
Housed in the Edith O’Donnell Arts and Technology building, the School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (ATEC) fosters connections that encourage students to try, learn, and grow. Glass walls provide passersby a peek into the inner-workings of ATEC, while panels and hallways display student and faculty artwork for those experiencing ATEC indoors. The footprint of the building is designed around cluster concepts allowing thinkers to gather and work. ATEC classrooms, labs, and makerspace studios support new ways of collaboration for a community immersed in innovative practices.

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets came into the Gainesville Regional baseball tournament wanting to save their ace pitcher Buck Farmer for a possible matchup up with the regional host Florida Gators, but they have to get past the College of Charleston first and the it's been a bit of a struggle so far.
Freshman Cole Pitts gave up three runs on seven hits in the first two innings, and if wasn't for the Yellow Jacket offense, that could be a big problem for Georgia Tech.
Fortunately for Tech, they managed to open the game with three first-inning runs, which saw ACC tournament MVP Jake Davies go yard for a three-run shot to right field. Then in the second inning, Brandon Thomas hit a three-run shot of his own, which followed an RBI single from Sam Dove, which gave the Yellow Jackets a 7-3 advantage over the College of Charleston after two innings.

Cielo Waste Solutions Corp. (OTCQB: CWSFF) closed the last session at $ 0.3732 after seeing its market cap rise by 26.51% to $ 240.78M. Recent trading in CWSFF stock has averaged 2.06M shares, below its average daily volume of 1.56M shares. In addition, CWSFF stock has traded between $0.278 and $0.374. There are 645.18M shares outstanding compared to 489.35M shares float on pink sheets CWSFF. CWSFF stock rose after its earnings were released.
For which period did CWSFF release financial results?
In addition to its publicly traded company status, Cielo brings a proprietary technology to the marketplace that can repurpose certain types of landfill garbage into diesel, kerosene (aviation fuel) and naphtha. CWSFF is currently using its patented and proven technology at its Aldersyde, Alberta facility to produce renewable fuels from wood waste. In addition to its experienced management team, CWSFF has strategic partners who can help it expand aggressively across Canada, the United States, and beyond.
The waste or feedstock used in CWSFF’s green facilities is widely available and inexpensive, including household and commercial waste, construction, rubber, railway ties, telephone poles, and plastic materials, some of which are unable to be recycled. In order to rid the world of unwanted and problematic garbage, CWSFF manufactures waste into fuel.
Cielo announced its financial results last week for the three months ended July 31, 2021.
Highlights of Q1 2022
- CWSFF’s total assets increased by $1.2 million as of July 31, 2021, primarily due to the increased value of property, plant, and equipment associated with construction activities at the Aldersyde facility.
- Increased pre-paid expenses, partially offset by a decrease in cash because of increased R&D and general and administrative expenditures, also contributed to the increased assets.
- Due to the exercise of liability classified warrants and the conversion of convertible debentures, CWSFF’s total liabilities were down $8.2 million as at July 31, 2021 compared with April 30, 2021.
- However, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased.
- A decrease in short-term warrant liability upon warrant exercise offset a decrease in cash, which resulted in an increase in working capital by $5.8 million to $5.1 million as of July 31, 2021, compared to a deficit of $0.7 million as of April 30, 2021.
- CWSFF reported a net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2021, an increase of $1.7 million over the $1.3 million loss for the same period in the previous year.
- A $0.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to additional salaries and benefits incurred for the growth of CWSFF as well as professional fees related to the TSX Venture Exchange listing of the Company’s shares.
- Research and development expenses increased by $1.5 million by CWSFF in the current quarter due to an increase in research and development at the Aldersyde facility, in addition to the facility being closed in the prior year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I can see it now: a tiny tuxedo, maybe a microphone or even a holly wreath (after all, this Grammy-award winner corners the market on Christmas Special cachet.)
The prerequisites are in play.
- Missing tooth. Check. Michael Bublé accidentally knocked his out with a microphone onstage last week.
- Signature smile. Check. The dimpled grin of the Canadian heart throb has earned swoons from Disneyland to Denmark.
Trendsetting tendencies. Check. He’s covered a One Direction song.
Six Million Dollar Man factor. Check. In the words of Oscar Goldman: “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.” (Gratuitous reference to 1970s TV hero Steve Austin, a bionically-enhanced astronaut turned secret agent.) According to a recent CNN report, dentists can imprint tooth tattoos on crowns — fired in an oven at 1200ºF –for the bargain rate of $100 (in addition to the cost of the procedure and crown, of course.)
The question remains: Should the classic crooner alter his pearly whites?
This MolarMuse votes no.
But Mr. Bublé might want to consider the CAD/CAM endorsement possibilities.
He’s got Noah’s college tuition to think about.

We are asking God to help us stand on the rock of His faithful love and let our life be a testimony to living by grace – by His gifts alone.
Since being diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis almost seven years ago, I have loved breathing each day together with my wonderful husband David, for I know that each day is a wonderful gift from God. When the doctor told me I had two years to live, my entire world changed. Priorities came into sharp focus, people became even more important, and God became so very real. I am, however, finding it hard to write so I have been going back to newspaper columns I wrote over the years. I am praying for words, so you may soon once again hear my heart.

When creating a climate-friendly garden, one needs to think of issues such as sustainable energy sources, conserving water, composting, recycling, planting native species, and avoiding dangerous chemicals. Using recycled materials such as old hand-made bricks can add charm to a garden pathway. Solar lighting for pathways and pergolas can help reduce energy costs.
Consider installing a green roof on a shed or garage. Green roofs help control storm water runoff and keep the interior of the building cooler in summer. Installing a combination of solar panels and green roofs can work symbiotically, with the panels providing shade for the plants and the plants helping to cool the solar panels.
Conserving water, eliminating harmful chemicals, and saying goodbye to leaf blowers can have a positive effect on the climate, the planet, and your own peace of mind.

Just so you know, What to Expect may make commissions on shopping links on this page.
Rehoming a dog
We finally adopted a dog in June and I was so excited. We chose a high energy breed specifically so we would have a hiking companion. I am a cancer survivor and I'm not supposed to be able to get pregnant. So naturally, two weeks after adopting her we found out we're pregnant. Yay. The pregnancy has obviously been very difficult as I am high risk, we weren't prepared at all, and I've been very sick. I haven't been able to help with the dog, we haven't been able to hike at all, and I haven't been able to help with her training.
All of this has brought us to the decision to re-home or surrender her. We've tried all the Facebook pages for rehoming with no luck. Now to my question: We live in Las Cruces and the only shelter we know of here will put her down if we surrender her (she's a heeler and aggressive toward other animals. Wonderful with people so we were working on her training). We absolutely will not take her somewhere to die. We called the Humane Society in El Paso but they only take surrenders from people who live in El Paso. What the heck do we do? 😔
Did you find a home for your dog? What's the breed? Age? Any other info you feel important to share?

Copyright © American Political Science Association 2019. The use of duration models in political science continues to grow, more than a decade after Box-Steffensmeier and Jones (2004). However, several common misconceptions about the models still persist. To improve scholars' use and interpretation of duration models, we point out that they are a type of regression model and therefore follow the same rules as other more commonly used regression models. In this article, we present four maxims as guidelines. We survey the various duration model interpretation strategies and group them into four categories, which is an important organizational exercise that does not appear elsewhere. We then discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies, noting that all are correct from a technical perspective. However, some strategies make more sense than others for nontechnical reasons, which ultimately informs best practices.

Hearing problems are one of the most common health-related issues in America today. Once you decide to do something about your hearing, how should you proceed? With the number of newspaper advertisements and mailers, as well as radio and television commercials, how do you go about choosing a hearing aid that best fits your lifestyle? The choices can be overwhelming. Here are some suggestions you can utilize on your way to enjoying life with better hearing.
- See a licensed audiologist
- Consider the style of hearing aid
- Know what you want to hear
- Think ahead
- Do your research
- Believe all advertisements
- Feel pressured
- Purchase hearing aids online
- Go alone
- Put it off
Do see a licensed audiologist.
An audiologist is an educated health care professional with a master’s or doctoral degree who specializes in the identification, assessment, and management of hearing loss. Audiologists are experts at helping people with hearing problems, but unlike medical doctors, they cannot prescribe medicine or perform surgery. You should ask for referrals from your medical doctor as well as friends and relatives.
An audiologist will look in your ears, remove earwax if necessary, and evaluate your hearing. You should expect the audiologist to discuss the test results with you and make individualized recommendations for hearing aids based upon your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget. Current hearing aid technology is wonderful, but it is only as good as the audiologist who fits the devices. That is why it is important to trust the audiologist caring for your hearing healthcare needs.
Do consider the style.
There are many styles of hearing aids with different features and prices. In the ear hearing solutions include everything from extended wear, invisible devices that stay in your ear for months at a time and do not require changing the battery. Daily wear aids include custom aids from very small, deep in the ear canal invisible aids to varying sizes that suited to your individual needs and dexterity. Behind the ear models include those with the receiver or speaker of the hearing aids down in the ear canal as well as very water-resistant styles. If you are physically active, you will want a style that is the most secure in your ear. If you have difficulty manipulating small parts, that needs to be taken into account. If you are concerned about cosmetics, let your audiologist know so the most invisible option can be demonstrated. Depending upon your lifestyle, fine motor ability, and cosmetic concerns, the audiologist will recommend a style of hearing instrument you are comfortable with.
Do know what you want to hear.
Knowing the situations you are having difficulty in and knowing what you want to hear will determine the features and level of technology that would most benefit you. People with the same hearing loss will have different needs; someone who is still working will have different needs than someone who is retired. Someone who is very active will have different needs from someone who is not. Do you participate in outdoor activities such as coaching or playing sports? Are you near pools and boats? Do you visit noisy restaurants? Do you enjoy live theatre and music? Do you attend lectures and meetings? Do you spend quite a bit of time on the phone? Do you travel much?
Your lifestyle and communication needs will assist the audiologist with recommendations for specific hearing aid features, including directional microphones, telecoils, automatic program changes for different environments, remote controls, and Bluetooth compatible accessories.
Do think ahead.
Even if you don’t need a certain feature right now, think ahead to any anticipated changes in your lifestyle. If you are retiring soon and plan to spend more time in leisure pursuits, let your audiologist know that. Moving from your home to somewhere that offers meals in a large dining area or volunteering at a hospital might require flexibility in your hearing aid programming. There are remote controls and Bluetooth compatible accessories to help in different situations, including wireless options to stream audio directly from your TV, radio, or cell phone into your hearing aids. Anticipating changes in your lifestyle will enable your audiologist to discuss options for flexibility down the road.
Do your research.
Your research should include information about the experience of the audiologist, what to expect from hearing aids, and what is included in your hearing aid purchase. It’s always a good idea to do some research and be prepared for your appointments. Researching specific brands and features of hearing aids is fine, but keep in mind that not everything you read will be appropriate for you. You will want to know about the trial period, warranties, and any recurring charges for such services as follow-up visits for programming or hearing aid cleanings and for supplies such as batteries. Other information to ask about would be any charges for add-on features or accessories. Be sure to get a hearing aid purchase contract in writing.
Do not believe all advertisements.
Remember the adage “If it sounds too good to be true…” Hearing aids will not eliminate all background noise or restore normal hearing. Beware of advertisements that state a certain technology is available only at a certain location. That would be untrue, as the same technology would be available elsewhere, but perhaps called by another name. Do not choose a hearing aid or a provider because of an incentive for a free gas card or restaurant gift card. Would you choose any other healthcare provider on that basis? Fake checks and “incentives from Uncle Sam” should be red flags to you. If an ad lists prices, be sure to compare apples to apples. An advertisement for a certain name brand hearing aid may be for old technology compared to a newer version sold elsewhere for a higher price.
Do not feel pressured.
You should not feel pressured to purchase hearing instruments, to purchase a higher level of technology than you are comfortable with, or to go beyond your budget. When you decide to move forward, you are investing in yourself; it is not just your hearing, it’s your life.
Do not purchase hearing aids online.
Do not purchase hearing aids over the internet. Hearing aids are medical devices used to treat the medical condition of your hearing loss. Hearing loss is associated with so many medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia. Your audiologist should be in contact with your physician and be aware of medications you are taking. Hearing aids need to be fit individually to your ears. Besides the physical fit, the aids should be programmed and “fine-tuned” for you to achieve the maximum benefit. The most successful hearing aid users are those who are taught to use the aids properly and who follow-up appropriately for their hearing healthcare.
Do not go alone.
You should take a relative or friend with you. It is always a good idea to have someone else at a medical appointment to help you take notes and ask questions. Both you and your audiologist will find it is very helpful to have you listen to a familiar voice with the hearing aids you are considering.
Do not put it off.
It takes the average patient between five and seven years from when they first notice difficulty with their hearing to when they do something about it. The longer you wait, the longer it takes for your brain to adjust to the new sound. When left untreated, hearing loss may affect almost every facet of your life, your relationships with family and friends, your work, and your social activities. Research shows that hearing is connected to so many other health conditions, including dementia, and that people who treat their hearing loss are happier, have fewer depressive symptoms, greater social engagements, and improved quality of life.

A stop off at a geothermal spring is on the itinerary of most tourists visiting Iceland. Let’s take a look at the two most traveled venues. The famous, water park-like Blue Lagoon and the lesser known but more remote and picturesque Myvatn Nature Baths.
Both are open year round, from early morning till late, even in winter. Their geothermally-heated water comes via nearby power stations. A word of caution: some compulsory naturism is required for both venues to keep the water as clean as possible. You must shower completely naked before entering the water itself. There is some privacy available if you seek it out, but you may find yourself scrubbing clean in a packed communal shower possibly containing some naked and unabashed European stereotypes.
Myvatn Nature Baths
Located towards the north east of the country, the Myvatn Nature Baths are a 489km, 12-hour drive from Reykjavik. The scenery at the Baths is rugged and relatively unspoiled, compared to the arguably over-commercialized spa-like Blue Lagoon, with spectacular views over Lake Myvatn.
The entrance fee varies depending on the time of year: ISK4300/US$43, including VAT and service charges, from May 15th to September 30th, and ISK3800/US$38 on dates outside of that range. There are discounts for the disabled, senior citizens and students, as well as teenagers (defined as those between 13 and 15 years old). Towels ISK700/US$7, swimsuits ISK700/US$7, and bathrobes ISK700/US$14 are also available for rental.
The amenities in the beautifully located baths consist of the lagoon itself and steam rooms. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with free Wi-Fi. The busiest visiting times are in the afternoons. After your soak, you can stop by the Kvika restaurant, open from 12 pm to 8 pm, although the salad, along with sunlight past 3 pm, is not available during the winter.
Kvika has many Icelandic staples including the infamous ISK900/US$9 small bottles of beer. Those on a budget can feast on ISK300/US$3 tubs of Skyr, a type of Icelandic cheese-like yogurt made from skim milk. Skyr is a naturally fat-free milk product and is thicker and sweeter than regular Greek yogurt.
Myvatn Nature Baths: Pros
The Myvatn Nature Baths are nowhere near as crowded as Blue Lagoon. They are also significantly cheaper and more laid back due to its remote location in northeastern Iceland. There are three pools, each with a different temperature, and the water is clean and warm, making your skin feel silky smooth and soft.
The lagoon has a natural rock bottom, which is nice on your feet, and preferable to mud in other geothermal pools, and concrete at the Blue Lagoon. It is well run, the location and the bath itself are beautiful, and as a bonus, you generally won’t encounter tour buses as you would at Blue Lagoon.
Myvatn Nature Baths: Cons
There is quite a noticeable sulfur smell in the air, and there can be slimy algae on the sidewalls and submerged rock seating. At busy times there may not be enough lockers for everyone. There are occasional reports that locker rooms are dirty due to crowds, but in general, they are kept clean, although sometimes people don’t follow the cleanliness instructions.
You can’t pre-book tickets, so the only viable option is to walk in and hope it’s not crowded. There is no bar in the water, but the servers are speedy to get to you and bring you a beverage from inside. The newer facilities were built without any specific places for visitors who may have mobility issues.
Bear in mind you can visit numerous local pools around Iceland for IKR550-600/US$5.50-$6; you may find the IKR3800/US$38 very expensive for what you get. But in comparison to the Blue Lagoon, the price is extremely reasonable.
One of the 25 Wonders of the World according to a 2012 issue of National Geographic, the Blue Lagoon is situated 47km, a 40-minute drive, from Reykjavík itself, and just 23km from Keflavik International Airport, making it a common initial destination for those arriving.
It is a spa experience, although it can feel like a water park at times, and caters a clientele that is a mix between tourist and higher-budget. It is often the first stop for tourists in Iceland, with many visitors coming directly from the airport in uses. Those doing so can put their luggage into safe storage on-site.
The blue color of the water comes from the silica reflecting sunlight, similar to how the sky appears blue. There can also be a slight greenish tinge to the water in the summer due to algae growth. However, like the silica mud mask offered here, the water itself is milky white. There is a powerful human-made waterfall to relieve soreness and stiff muscles from long flights or travels. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the Blue Lagoon, and there is also a cafe and a meeting room available for hire.
The entire facility caters for the disabled with elevators, electric buttons to open doors, a pool access lift, and water-friendly wheelchairs available, which can be used in the shallower areas of the lagoon.
The Blue Lagoon has a 4-tiered pricing structure that must be pre-booked in advance. The standard package gets you entry plus the great silica mud mask for ISK6100 or around US$61. This beauty treatment consists of a white clay mask, which is available at the lagoon bar, which you wash off after five minutes, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. Like the Myvatn Nature Baths, towels and bathing suits are both priced at ISK700 or US$7, and bathrobes and slippers are ISK1400/US$14 each.
The comfort level tickets for ISK8100/US$81 come with an algae mask, use of a towel, and a free drink. The most popular ticket is the premium level (this is what we got) where another US$20 or so, at ISK10200/US$102, gets you a bathrobe, the option of dining at the Lava restaurant, and the accompanying sparkling wine with your meal.
Can you put a price on privacy? Well, Blue Lagoon has, as finally there is the Luxury option which, as well as the premium options above, includes a private changing room for two people. The Luxury option also includes the use of an executive lounge with fireplace, their Spa Journey Product Set, an attendant, and direct access to the lagoon for ISK53000/US$530 for two people.
Blue Lagoon: Pros
The Blue Lagoon has a flat, pool-like bottom and is quite deep at almost chest depth. The staff is friendly and helpful. Clean, secure, electronic lockers are accessed using a waterproof wristband, and the shower rooms include private or semi private facilities. Water temperature varies in the lagoon.
Plenty of employees wade around in the lagoon with iPads, taking complimentary pictures that are emailed to you almost immediately. There is free hair conditioner, the location is beautiful, and there is no sulfur smell.
Blue Lagoon: Cons
The expense! Although the basic package is adequate, the staff persistently attempt to upsell everything, so at times the Blue Lagoon can feel like a tourist trap. For the adventurous, it’s possible to find some cheap or free hot springs in the beautiful surrounding area which you may have all to yourself so that the Blue Lagoon could be seen as vastly overpriced and fairly underwhelming.
Long tours sometimes will include a visit to the Blue Lagoon. Iceland is becoming a popular destination, and many tour buses drop off large groups immediately after their flight lands, so it can be extremely crowded at times. Your hair can turn into straw for days after despite using the Blue Lagoon conditioner before and after entering the water.
It can be very noisy, and it is advisable to book well in advance, and unfortunately, the Blue Lagoon does not have the spectacular views one would experience at the Myvatn Nature Baths.
Remember, you are not limited to these two options. Iceland is ripe for exploring with its spectacular landscape and geological features. A sense of adventure could yield the picture perfect, deserted, and free hot spring such as Reykjadalur.

Investment is significant nowadays, as the future is uncertain, and it provides you with some security. There are different types of investments, and one of them is cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the most valuable and popular digital currency, which makes it a perfect investment. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind while investing in bitcoins, and some of them are as follows.
Avoid using a poor strategy
If you want to make a profitable investment in bitcoins, you need to have an effective strategy to make the right decision at the right time. Most of the investors fail because they enter the bitcoins market without a suitable strategy which is a huge mistake. There are different types of investment strategies, but you must choose a safe and profitable one and choose the right cryptography techniques to start with investing or trading bitcoin. There are several so-called ‘experts’ on social media who offer different bitcoin investment tips and promises you massive profits.
You must avoid such people as most of the times, their tips backfire, and in the end, you will have to bear the loss. Profit and loss are inseparable parts of bitcoin trading as if one will win; the other will obviously lose. But if you have a solid investment strategy, you will be able to minimize the risk of facing a loss to a great extent.
Use separate EmailEmail
When you invest in digital currencies like bitcoin, there is a considerable risk of crucial data being stolen as it is entirely dependent on the Internet. So, to avoid such risks, it is better if you create a separate email for investment formalities as using your personal EmailEmail for all-purpose will increases the risk of a data breach. To enhance the security, you can use some features such as two-factor authentication so that no one else other than you can gain access to your mails. Moreover, when you create an account, you must choose a strong username and password. Using a common password will make it easier for hackers to guess it and steal vital information.
Know how to use wallets
Before you make an investment in bitcoins, it is necessary to know how to use a bitcoin wallet. A bitcoin wallet is a digital locker in which you can store bitcoins and make easy transactions. Without a wallet, you cannot buy bitcoins which makes it evident you cannot invest in bitcoins also. So, to make a profitable investment in it, you need to have complete knowledge about many types of wallets and their working. There are mainly two types of wallets, hot wallet and cold wallet, and both of them have different features and functions.
A hot wallet refers to the Internet connected bitcoin wallet and allows you to make online transactions and access the bitcoins anytime via the Internet. On the other hand, a cold wallet is a wallet that store bitcoins offline. Hot wallets are highly convenient to use as you can access them anywhere and anytime, but they are exposed to some online risks such as hacking, phishing, etc. On the other hand, cold wallets don’t offer much accessibility but are the safest option to store bitcoins.
Keep an eye on the market
Bitcoin is a highly volatile cryptocurrency which means its price keeps on fluctuating. It is an important thing that you need to be aware of before making an investment in it. Its price is highly unpredictable, so if you want to make maximum profits, you need to keep an eye on the market so that you can predict any change in the price to some extent. It is an excellent tip that can help you earn maximum profits from bitcoin investment. Most traders don’t follow the market fluctuation, which makes them suffer from significant losses when the price suddenly drops.
Timing is important
Bitcoin’s value fluctuates a lot which makes it essential to invest in it at the right time. Timing plays an important role when investing in bitcoins, as you need to invest at the right time to earn maximum profits. If you want to invest for the long term, you must invest when the price is low, as it will lower your cost and provide higher returns in the future.

Gert Goebel came to Missouri in 1834 as an eighteen-year-old German immigrant, settling in Franklin County, where he remained a resident for most of his life. He helped his parents carve a farm out of the frontier forest; became an avid hunter and backwoodsman; served in public offices, including as a legislator in each house of the Missouri General Assembly; and worked briefly as a newspaper editor. More than four decades after arriving in the state, he published a memoir that offers one of the most comprehensive firsthand accounts of life in nineteenth-century Missouri as it was experienced by Missouri Germans.
Born on April 1, 1816, in the German city of Coburg, Gerhard “Gert” Goebel was the eldest of David W. and Henriette Kessel Goebel’s three children. His father was a professor, and Gert received a good education that included instruction at Coburg’s Gymnasium Casimirianum, where David Goebel taught. The Goebels lived a comfortable, city-dwelling lifestyle, but disillusioned by the difficult struggle for political reform within the German states, Gert’s father joined the Giessen Society, a group with several hundred members led by Friedrich Muench and Paul Follenius that sought to form a German-speaking colony in the American West. With other members of this society, the Goebels—Gert, his parents, and two younger sisters—embarked on a seven-week transatlantic voyage, reaching Baltimore, Maryland, on July 24, 1834. Traveling by freight wagon and riverboat, they arrived in St. Louis two months later. Divided into two groups for the ocean crossing, the Giessen Society had splintered by the time the Goebels reached Missouri, but the family followed Muench and Follenius west of St. Louis. The two leaders settled in Warren County, the area described in Gottfried Duden’s Report on a Journey to the Western States of North America, a romanticized depiction of the frontier that served as a source of inspiration to subsequent German immigrants. David Goebel purchased land on the opposite side of the Missouri River in sparsely settled northwestern Franklin County and attempted to start a farm.
As Gert Goebel later recounted in his memoir, his father was ill-equipped for frontier farming. Years passed before the farm became productive, more through the efforts of Gert than of David. For unlike his father, Gert was a vigorous and adaptable young man who thrived in his new home. He maintained contact with other Germans, including Muench, a well-educated minister whose embrace of rationalism influenced Goebel’s own political beliefs and freethinking views on religion. But relatively few other Germans had yet settled nearby, and most of the Goebels’ neighbors were “Old Americans” who had come west earlier from states in the Upper South. Living among these neighbors rather than within a colony of German immigrants, Goebel quickly learned to speak English from them and developed an appreciation for their way of life as they taught him the skills of frontier farming and hunting. With one foot planted in his German heritage and the other in this new society, he gained acceptance within each of these two very different Missouri populations and became well positioned to write about them.
In thirty-three chapters that are shrewd, philosophical, and laced with humor, Goebel’s memoir describes relations among and between Missouri Germans and Old Americans as they steadily converted the remaining wilderness in Franklin County and surrounding areas into settled land. In one passage, for example, Goebel describes in detail the process of making fence rails that American neighbors taught him and his father after their initial efforts to cut down a tree produced a stump that “looked as if beavers had gnawed it off”; their incompetent handiwork, he notes, “was for a long time a pleasing sight for passing Americans.” In other passages, Goebel recounts that it was the Germans who sometimes had the last laugh: asked by American neighbors to sing “a beautiful German song” at a social gathering, a male choral group chose one with lyrics which “had really not been composed to be sung in the presence of ladies” and “presented it with such serious dignity…with great self-possession they then received the thanks of the many, who, naturally, had not understood a word of the text. Then they probably sang other songs, the presentation of which did not call for so much self-control.”
Goebel’s memoir portrays Germans and Old Americans learning to live together as the state of Missouri experienced its first significant wave of non-English-speaking immigrants in the years leading up to the Civil War. Yet the divisions that led to war split Missourians along ethnic lines as well as other fault lines. As the crisis drew close, Goebel proved staunchly loyal to the Union, and his chapters on wartime Missouri present views that were widespread among the state’s German immigrants, now numbering in the tens of thousands, who overwhelmingly opposed slavery and favored the North. During the war, Goebel at the age of forty-five served a three-month stint in the Franklin County Home Guard in 1861. He was elected as a state representative in 1862 and won election to the state senate in 1864; his politics generally aligned with the Radical Republicans. One of the most vivid chapters in his memoir describes Price’s Raid, which passed through Franklin County in the fall of 1864 and overran the Goebel farm, though he was fortunate enough to encounter regular-army Confederates who drank wine with him rather than irregular mobs that left a path of violence and destruction behind them.
After his senate term expired in 1868, Goebel was appointed chief clerk of the state register in 1870 and 1871. He ran unsuccessfully to return to the state legislature in 1874. Perhaps encouraged by the publication of his memoir in 1877, he took on another literary venture in 1881, accepting the editorship of the Hermanner Volksblatt and its English-language counterpart the Advertiser-Courier, both weekly newspapers in Hermann, Missouri. He remained as editor for about six months before retiring to a life of occasional writing and public speaking while residing mostly on the family farm in Franklin County. His wife, Carolina Becker Goebel—a ten-year-old passenger on the same ship (and same wagon train) that brought him from Europe to Missouri—had died in 1864, but several of the couple’s seven children continued to live nearby. In Goebel’s late years, his sons August and Charles each took a turn running the farm, and it was there that he died in the company of family members on September 10, 1896.
The memoir, Länger als ein Menschenleben in Missouri, was published by a St. Louis firm and circulated in both the United States and Germany, but although Goebel wrote his own translation, the work did not become widely available to English-language audiences for more than a century after his death. Its title, which loosely translates as Longer Than a Man’s Lifetime in Missouri, reflects his effort to trace the history of the Missouri frontier back to early white settlers by including accounts told to him by his American neighbors. Notable for its close observation of everyday occurrences that might have gone unremarked by someone who had not arrived in the state as an outsider, and also for its depth of understanding and affection toward his adopted state, Goebel’s work ranks among the most significant personal narratives on nineteenth-century Missouri.

A Theory About Comments & Search Engine Results
Is it better to have as many comments as possible on your posts?
There is a general opinion that more comments is better. I have found that this is not necessarily the case. Because I have read several times that comments can only positively effect your site I decided to put the theory to the test. My results weren't exactly what I expected, but in my research I think there is a really valuable lesson for us all to learn from.
In short, I have found that getting comments on your posts in the way that we do here at WA can actually negatively affect your search engine position for that post. Now I must say that I am not saying that the comment system here on Wealthy Affiliate is bad in any way! Completely the opposite in fact, I love the comment system and think its a fantastic way of getting interaction on your site and making it look like a more interactive website.
The negative affects of comments
I have found that getting comments on your site can actually make your site drop in search position and can even get it removed from the search results temporarily too. I have witnessed this for myself and have spoken to others that have experienced the same here on WA.
Why can comments make your site drop in the search results?
Here is my theory...
After doing a couple of experiments I have come to a conclusion. We know that Google monitors how much traffic each page or post is getting and also how long each person stays on your site. Therefore its highly likely that Google will have an approximate idea of how many comments a popular post is likely to get, based on how much traffic that page or post is getting.
If you get a handful of visitors to a particular post and a large percentage leave a comment, I believe this raises a red flag. I have seen posts drop very quickly and even get removed by adding comments too quickly.
In general the posts that seem to be affected the most are new posts that have had very little traffic and I have requested comments to those posts almost immediately from the WA comment system.
The right way to do it
On the flip side of this, I have seen posts that are getting a steady amount of traffic increase in search rank by adding comments gradually over a period of weeks.
I believe you are best to wait, get traffic and then add comments quite slowly. Google is very cleaver and knows what to expect from your site by comparing it to others that it deems to be a valuable provider of information.
You can read about one of my experiments with comments here:
Hope this helps!
All the best to you,

The announcement of a Green Deal by Commission President von der Leyen has created a noticeable momentum in favour of a wave of climate measures and packages. Nevertheless, in its current form this Deal very much appears as a technical exercise that sums up sector-based measures. The headlines have very much been around the headline figure that the deal will mobilize – the famous trillion euro. This has been broadly welcomed as a positive development, but it also needs to be financed. In countries like Germany, this has led to concerns about the cost of this deal for ordinary people and businesses.
All of this pleads for an exploration of how to make the Deal more tangible and economically more impactful. This framing paper is meant to identify the broad macro-economic dimension of the pact as well as the potential for ECF and the Forum to help and amplify its potential. We tried to answer the question of the impact of the deal and what will be necessary to make it come to fruition? The paper serves as complementation of our Green Deal seminar hosted on the 18th of February. You will find several other articles on it in the coming days on our website.
The analysis of this paper is otherwise informed by work that ECF/the Forum New Economy has commissioned in the past (study by Cambridge Econometrics, former Green Deal workshop 2014), as well as by the Paris workshop on the economics of a Green New Deal in September 2019 and the preparation of the coming seminar on the economics of the EU’s Green Deal in Berlin (18th February 2020).
Our bottom line is that the currently quoted sum of €1trn overestimates the potential macroeconomic impact of the deal. There are instruments to be explored more detailed that could amplify the effort and help to make the exercise more tangible for ordinary people and hence more viable politically.

Welcome to the Paradise Lane Sew-along (SAL)!!! I'm so happy you're joining us and I can't wait to see your quilt!
Together, we'll be making a Small Throw quilt top over the next seven weeks. Feel free to work ahead or behind; these blog posts will always be here for reference.
If you would like to have the weekly blog posts emailed to you, you can sign up here
! The emails will be sent out each Monday during the seven-week schedule.
Optional Instagram Post for a chance to win prizes!
Each week of the sew-along, there is also a chance for you to win prizes! Each Monday, I'll post a picture that includes that week's prompt. To enter, simply post your picture using #paradiselanesal before the following Sunday to be entered to win!
Make sure your account is public so that I can see your post! This week's prompt will also be at the bottom of this blog post :). Good luck!!
Week 1 is all about the fabric!
To make the Small Throw quilt top, you'll need:
- 10 Fat Quarters or 1/4 yards
- 2 1/4 yards for the background
I decided to try something new with my fabric pull and use a darker background fabric. Also, my fabric pull is fairly monochromatic. I'm both nervous and excited to see how this quilt looks when it's finished.
There are a few different ways that I go about selecting fabrics for a quilt.
- Choosing a print I love and building around it
- Building from a single color
- Selecting a palette from a picture
One rule of thumb I always go by is to make sure I have enough contrast in every fabric pull! That contrast will help draw the eye and create movement within the quilt.
Choosing a print and building around it
This fabric pull was inspired by the top print! I just love it. The second print I grabbed was the middle print with the oranges and began building from there with pink, yellow and orange colors. There is a lot of contrast here with prints and colors, but I went a step further with the deep purple solid.
Building from a single color
That was the option I selected for this fabric pull. When I dug out my stash, I noticed I had a lot of blues (a color I don't typically use) and decided to go with it! I looked to make sure I had contrast in blue hues as well as adding a couple of prints. Then, for a bit of extra pop, I added a mustard-yellow to make that color found in the Rifle print pop!
Selecting a palette from a picture
The Paradise Lane cover quilt was inspired by a picture! Here's the picture that inspired the pull:
I loved these hues and built from there with pinks, purples, and a touch of yellow. I wanted the quilt to have a brighter feel than the picture so I added Valentine, Mango, and Azalea to the mix; then Ochre and Caramel for a bit of contrast.
Do you enjoy selecting fabrics, or do you find it difficult? I'd love to know!
Optional Instagram Post and this week's prize!
Post a picture using #paradiselanesal before midnight on Sunday, June 6, 2021, of your fabric pull to be entered to win this week's prize!
For those who like to work ahead, next week we will cutting our fabric and mixing and matching our blocks!

Branding your company as a nimble, forward-thinking and innovative organization can help you attract top talent. While potential job seekers may evaluate compensation and benefits, they’re equally interested in how progressive and innovative an organization really is.
What’s more, innovation is crucial as it helps your organization penetrate markets faster, which in turn leads to bigger opportunities for revenue. More often times than not, when a company has an innovative culture, it grows faster than complacent competitors who get left behind.
While creativity cannot be forced, the right setting helps put your team in the mindset to find imaginative solutions. Listed below are effective ways to cultivate a culture of innovation in your workplace.
1. Create a Positive, Relaxed Environment
Encourage a workplace that embraces your employee’s natural rhythms. A relaxed and easygoing environment increases productivity by allowing creative juices to flow. On the other hand, a dictatorial management style tends to stifle creativity and innovation. Also, let your staff know – in both small and big ways – that you value their ideas. You may want to consider Including innovation in the list of company values.
2. Look for Opportunities to Bring People Together
While innovation can occur in isolation, the best teams utilize collaboration and exchange of ideas to drive optimal results. Promote opportunities to socialize and consider setting aside time for teams to innovate. For example, you can make this time by simply making one-hour meetings on a regular basis to review what aspects of your products and services are successful, what could improve and start brainstorming ideas to drive forward.
3. Hire a Diverse Team Consisting of Passionate Employees
Hire employees who share your vision and align with your culture. It’s a good idea to hire people with different perspectives as long their overall objectives are in line with your culture. Passionate employees will want to intrinsically work at improving your product or services. Innovation flows more freely when you work alongside friendly and driven people, and hiring team players with diverse capabilities, backgrounds and interests helps promote out-of-the-box thinking.

Discovery of distal ejecta from the 1850 Ma Sudbury impact event
William D. Addison, Kakabeka Falls, Ontario P0T 1W0, Canada; et al. Pages 193-196.
Impact ejecta has been found from the Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, structure, the second largest and third or fourth oldest extraterrestrial Earth impact site. At 1.85 billion years old, these Paleoproterozoic ejecta are three times older than the previous oldest dated ejecta linked to a specific impact (Acraman, Australia, 0.59 billion years old). It is also larger than the well-known Chicxulub, Mexico (0.065 billion years old) impact linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species. The debris (ejecta) studied here, landed 650 km west northwest of Sudbury near Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, and 875 km west of Sudbury near Hibbing, Minnesota, United States. This huge impact likely deposited debris all around Earth, but it is very difficult to find because so much of the evidence has been destroyed in the recycling of Earth's crust by plate tectonics. Life at the time of the Sudbury impact was confined to the oceans and consisted of unicellular and colonial unicellular organisms.Also noted:
A Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary age and mid-ocean-ridge¡Vtype mantle source for Shatsky RiseJ.J. Mahoney,et al. Geology 15:185-188.
Basalt sills were cored recently in Ocean Drilling Program Hole 1213B in the southern part of the rise. Dating of the basalic sills in the Shatsky Rise, a large oceanic plateau in the northwest Pacific.provides an important new age estimate of the boundary between two geological periods, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous; this age is 144.6 +/- 0.8 million years before present.

Selena Fox is a well-known priestess, environmentalist, religious freedom activist, writer, teacher, and psychotherapist. Also known as Rev. Selena Fox, she is senior minister of Circle Sanctuary in Wisconsin, which has been serving Nature religion practitioners worldwide since 1974.
Selena will appear at Paganicon March 13-15, 2015 and offer several workshops, participate in panel discussions, lead a ritual, and facilitating the Military Pagan Honoring Ceremony . Tickets are available at the door for the day, weekend, or for special events. Selena responded to written questions:
Nels: Tell me about your Cauldron Magic workshop?
Selena: I have been studying folklore and folkways for many years, and old folk traditions are an essential part of the Circle Craft tradition that I practice. In my Cauldron Magic workshop, I will share some of the ways that cauldrons have been used in ceremonies as well as in daily life through time and across a variety of cultures and spiritual traditions. I also will share some of my own experiences working with different types of cauldrons as well as ways that Pagans today can use them as ceremonial tools and symbols for celebrating the seasons, home blessings, and other sacred work. In addition, I plan to facilitate some Cauldron meditations and experiences during the workshop.
What will you include in the Pagan Death Passages workshop?
Selena: Creating and guiding Life Passage Rituals is an important part of my services to Pagan community and has been since I began priestess work more than forty years ago. In addition to creating and performing weddings, baby blessings, coming of age into adulthood rites, cronings and sagings, I also do several types of end-of-life passage rituals. The Pagan Death Passages workshop emerged out of my experiences working with individuals and their family and friends prior to, during, and after death. I realized that there was a need to do end-of-life preparation education as well as facilitate crossing overs, funerals, and burials when the need arises.
In my Pagan Death Passages workshop, I share ideas and information about ways to support end of life planning and processes for family and friends, and I also express the importance of considering your own needs and making your own end of life plans. This workshop also is designed to help facilitate community discussions and considerations about dying and death, topics that some are reluctant to talk about with others.
In the workshop I not only present some information about types of end-of-life ceremonies but also give practical tips on end-of-life planning. We will explore ways to support a loved one at the time of being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, and discuss approaches to maximizing quality of life in the time remaining. We will talk about working with life review during the last part of life. We will examine crossing over support, including the use of music, touch, presence, readings, and ritual. We will also look at post-death rites, including customizing wakes, funerals, memorials, and celebrations of life. In addition, I will be talking about natural burial as a death passage option.
Part of my work with Circle Sanctuary includes being the director of Circle Cemetery, a national Pagan cemetery and one of the first Green cemeteries in the USA. It is located at our headquarters near Barneveld, Wisconsin and this year we will be celebrating our cemetery’s 20th anniversary. We inter cremains at our cemetery and also do full body natural burials. Natural burial, also known as Green burial, is an ancient Pagan practice – it is placing an un-embalmed body in the earth in a shroud or other biodegradable container. In the workshop, I will describe some of our work in doing burial rituals at our cemetery, as well as things to consider in selecting a cemetery as part of end-of-life planning.
Selena: Yes, and I’ve been working with Brigid for most of my priestess life. I keep a Brigid Shrine at my home and also am among the caretakers of Brigid’s Spring, an outdoor healing place dedicated to Her at Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve.
I had already been working with Brigid for many years, when I discovered while reading a book on Scottish history that I am descended from some who were caretakers of a Brigid site in Fife, Scotland.
In addition to doing personal Brigid work, I also facilitate Brigid rites for small and large groups at various conferences and festivals across North America. The Brigid Healing Ritual which I will be facilitating at Paganicon has evolved over time as my own work with Brigid has deepened.
In this rite as well as in my own person work, I work with Brigid in a variety of forms. In addition to honoring Brigid as the Triple Goddess of Inspiration, Healing, and the Forge, I also work with Her as a Sun Goddess, and a Goddess connected with the Land, Oak, Swan, Flames, and Waters of holy wells and sacred springs. Included in the Brigid Healing Ritual are invocations and chants drawing on these different facets of Brigid. We will be doing different types of healing during the ceremony — healing for ourselves, healing for each other, and healing for loved ones at a distance. And we also will be doing a community working for the well-being of Planet Earth and will energize Brigid crosses, charms, necklaces, and other items participants place on our central altar during the rite. I am looking forward to bringing the Brigid Healing Rite to Paganicon.

Study Suggests Urine NGAL Biomarker May Help Predict Delayed Graft FunctionBy Abbott, PRNE
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
DELKENHEIM, Germany, January 20, 2011 - A diagnostic test for early detection of acute kidney injury may assist
in predicting delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant patients,
according to a Finnish study published in Kidney International, the journal
of the International Society of Nephrology.
DGF occurs when a transplanted kidney does not function immediately. It
is a common complication after kidney transplants, and in some reports, the
incidence is as high as 40 percent. DGF is an increasing problem as more
kidneys coming from expanded criteria donors are accepted for
The aim of the study, led by Maria Hollmen, M.D., Helsinki University
Hospital, was to examine how serial urine NGAL (neutrophil
gelatinase-associated lipocalin) concentrations change over time following
kidney transplants and whether urine concentrations of NGAL can predict the
onset of delayed graft function or prolonged delayed graft function.
DGF and prolonged DGF (14 days or longer) can cause acute organ
rejection, require patients to undergo dialysis, prolong post-transplant
hospital stays, and increase post-operative care costs. According to the
study's authors, there is an unmet medical need for an effective test to help
predict delayed graft function soon after transplantation, which could help
in developing therapeutic interventions to prevent DGF.
"Day one urinary NGAL predicted DGF even when it was not clinically
expected early on, and importantly, it predicted prolonged DGF that led to
worse graft survival," according to Dr. Hollmen.
One-hundred-and-seventy-six renal transplant patients were evaluated in
the study. Urine samples were collected before transplantation and for
several days afterward. Seventy patients had DGF and 26 of them were
The patients who developed DGF had a significantly slower decrease in
urinary NGAL compared to those without DGF. Urine NGAL levels measured a day
following transplant predicted prolonged DGF, which had significantly worse
one-year graft survival (73 percent) compared with shorter DGF (100 percent).
In the study, the researchers concluded that urine NGAL measurements can
predict prolonged DGF and identify patients with severe kidney injury and
inferior long-term organ survival. They added that the test also provides a
simple method to quantify recovery from kidney injury.
Urine NGAL, a protein found in kidney tubules, can aid in the diagnosis
of acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a common and potentially devastating
illness that quickly reduces the ability of the kidneys to filter waste, a
condition which can then progress to kidney failure. Common causes of AKI
include sepsis, major surgery, coardiogenic shock, trauma, and medications
toxic to the kidney. Abbott has introduced an automated Urine NGAL assay in
Europe on ARCHITECT(R), the company's flagship instrument system.

With the second quarter nearly in the books and summer in full gear, it's the time of the year that market activity slows down, but there's no end to the situations and dynamics that make the markets so intriguing.
Lest you think the attacks on for-profit prisons were finished following U.S. Sen Elizabeth Warren's diatribe of late last week, other presidential candidates piled on in Thursday night's Democrat debate, most notably U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris. That came on the heels of Wednesday's announcement by Bank of America (BAC) that it no longer will lend to private prison operators following a review by the company's environmental, social and government committee. Seems like political grandstanding to me, and it follows JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) lead, which made a similar decision in March.
So, look for the volatility in shares of private-prison operators to continue. CoreCivic Inc. (CXW) , which yields 8.45%, is off about 14% over the past week, while GEO Group Inc. (GEO) , which yields 9.25%, is down 12%. Adept traders (which I am not) probably can find a way to make some money on all the volatility in what will be a politically driven story over the next year and a half.
Home meal kit provider Blue Apron Holdings Inc. (APRN) not surprisingly has taken it on the chin since announcing the terms of its 1-for-15 reverse stock split two weeks ago that went into effect on June 17; it's down about 28% since then. That decline includes Thursday's 10% gain Blue Apron enjoyed on more than three times normal average volume on no news, so it likely was due to short covering. On Tuesday, Morgan Stanley lowered its split-adjusted price target on APRN to $6; the stock currently is at $7.
On Thursday, specialty retailer Chico' FAS (CHS) , which has struggled mightily and has seen its shares fall nearly 60% over the past year, rejected Sycamore Partners' unsolicited buyout offer of $3 a share. No surprise here; in May CHS rejected Sycamore's offer of $3.50 a share after the company rejected an earlier offer of $4.30 a share.
If you are counting, that's a 30% reduction from Sycamore's first offer to its third offer, and in my view the board had no choice to reject the latest offer, if for no other reason than to save face and allow it some room to try and right the ship. Another busted retail story, of which there are many, but one to keep an eye on.

Valencia Valley | Newhall School District Nearing End of Construction
By Halie Cook
Permanent classrooms are replacing portable classrooms at Valencia Valley Elementary and Meadows Elementary. Construction is scheduled to wrap up this fall.
“Valencia Valley will be completed and children will be getting into the new rooms by Labor Day,” said Ronna Wolcott. “Meadows isn’t looking like it will be finished before October.”
Valencia Valley and Meadows both have similar plans to renovate the multipurpose room, complete the science lab and complete basic upgrades such as replacing lighting, heating and ventilation.
The project is running behind schedule due to unexpected challenges with the excavation pipe and sewage line – and that means children will not be immediately going in to new buildings when school resumes next week.
“Valencia Valley is about a month behind and Meadows is about two months behind,” said Wolcott. “It has been a bit of a challenge because of excavation area pipes and sewage pipes that didn’t show up on the plans, (and which) we had to reroute.”
Both projects are on budget with total costs for Valencia Valley being $7,155,285 and $5,653,737 for Meadows – all funded by the voter-approved $60 million bond measure.
In the future, the bond will fund upgrades to three more school sites and an auditorium.
The funding is sufficient to take down only half of the portable buildings, but officials are hopeful that future state bonds will pay for the rest of the renovation.
“We are only replacing half of the portables, and we have more we would like to do, but the state is not letting go of bonds right now,” said Wolcott. “We are hoping there will be more bonds on the ballot in November for other projects, but its all dependent on state funding.”
The next few weeks with determine a lot of future plans in the district.
“We are getting ready to submit more plans for approval in the next four to six weeks,” said Wolcott. “Peachland Elementary is our next school site.”

Stamford Land is in advanced negotiations on an investment opportunity with a “substantial” size, the property developer and hotel operator’s management said at the annual general meeting Friday, according to the minutes.
Cache Logistics Trust
Cache Logistics Trust reported Friday its third quarter net property income fell 8.3 percent on-year to S$21.14 million, partly due to lower revenue and higher expenses from converting the Cache Gul LogisCentre to a multi-tenancy structure from a master lease in April.
Eagle Hospitality Trust
Eagle Hospitality Trust confirmed Monday that neither the REIT nor its sponsor, Urban Commons, were in default of the terms of the ground lease for the Queen Mary property.

Basslink is part of Keppel Infrastructure Trust’s portfolio.
Wilmar International said Friday it has formed two new subsidiaries, one in China for generating electricity, and the other in Senagal for trading agricultural products.
Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT
Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT said Tuesday the 104.29 million new units it issued at US$0.725 each under its private placement will begin trading on SGX Tuesday.
Creative Technology said Friday it wasn’t aware of any material information that might explain the surge in its share price.

EMAS Offshore said Friday its application in the High Court of Singapore to be placed under judicial management has been granted.
Roxy-Pacific Holdings warned Friday it expected its third quarter profit to be lower on-year, based on a preliminary review of its unaudited financial statements.
Cache Logistics Trust
Cache Logistics Trust said Friday Robert Wong Teck Ling, director of finance and operations, will step down from his role on 31 October to pursue personal interests.
SK Jewellery Group
SK Jewellery Group said Friday Yong Mew Peng Victoria would step down from her role as chief financial officer of the company, effective 8 November, to pursue other interests.
GATXH Holdings announced Friday it has made a voluntary, unconditional offer to acquire all of Raffles United for S$0.065 a share, with plans to delist the company.
China Fishery Group, Pacific Andes Resources Development and Pacific Andes International Holdings
China Fishery Group and Pacific Andes Resources Development said Friday that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) of the Singapore Police have informed them no further action will be taken over an investigation of a potential Securities Act violation. The investigation has been concluded, the companies said.
In 2015, the MAS and CAD had requested information and documents covering the 1 October 2011 to 20 August 2015 period relating to the companies, their subsidiaries and their dealings with certain third parties who weren’t interested persons, the two companies said in a filing to SGX. One of the third parties was a trading party, the filing said.

A date has been set for Man City to appeal against their two-year ban from UEFA competitions, as it will take place with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on June 8-10.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic it is believed Man City will not have the hearing in person and it will instead by via video link. Reports state that Man City wanted an in-person hearing for the appeal against their unprecedented ban, so they may ask for another date.
The two-season ban is due to start from the 2020-21 campaign and unless their appeal to CAS is successful, the reigning Premier League champions will not play in Europe until Sept. 2022 at the earliest.
UEFA delivered its damning verdictn February after an extensive investigation into what they call “serious breaches” of Financial Fair Play rules.
City were also fined $32.4 million for the breach as UEFA’s Adjudicatory Chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) found the reigning Premier League champions guilty of serious breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations.
The Manchester club were previously charged by UEFA in 2014 as they were fined and had a limited number of players in their squad for UEFA competitions for FFP breaches. This new charge comes after Football Leaks documents published by Der Spiegel in 2018 accused Man City of wrongdoing.
Pep Guardiola and Man City’s hierarchy have defended the club and said ‘the truth will prevail’ as Man City battle UEFA to stay in the Champions League from next season and beyond.
Many analysts believe that UEFA handed Man City a two-year ban from European competition so that if they appealed it could be reduced to one season.
Man City are still in the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League competition, as they lead Real Madrid 2-1 after the first leg of their Round of 16 clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
If Man City aren’t allowed to compete in the competition for the next two seasons it could mean several star players leave, as it would impact the plans of their Abu Dhabi owners who badly want to be crowned the champions of Europe and win the so-far elusive trophy.

SOLYPH Announces its Suncream Renewal and New Batch Launches
Next-level physical sunscreen is unveiled : Lighter, smoother and healthier! We’ve heard you and made it even better.
Dec 1, 2021
Face the wild, SPF50 PA++ sun shield cream, has been the bestseller of SOLYPH since its first debut in 2019, thanks to its solid fan base that’s still growing via word of mouth. The first customers and the most returning are sport lovers who are conscious of skincare ingredients and the environment. They love its mineral-based, physical formula that immediately blocks out UVs, blue lights and pollutants with cooling, soothing and hydrating the heated and sweaty skin by the power of natural ingredients, allowing them to apply safely on sensitive skin without stinging eyes.
With the rise of savvy customers who became educated on physical sunscreen versus chemical one, its demand has grown over years and the reputation of SOLYPH’s suncream has also spread out to non-sporty users for their everyday application indoors and outdoors. They find the cream glides smoothly on the skin and leaves a dewy look, working as a good primer as well. SOLYPH is stretching further to pregnant customers, families with babies and young kids for its safe and healthy formula.
Surprisingly, physical sunscreen has often been avoided by both brands and consumers despite its health benefits, due to its challenging formulation of mineral ingredients for its thick and pasty texture, leaving white cast and oily finish especially for high SPF. However, SOLYPH aimed for the most premium yet affordable physical sunscreen in the market, formulating the finest ingredients and delivering the best experience in texture and application. For those who are still reluctant to use physical sunscreen, SOLYPH has been dedicated to improving the formula by diligently collecting customers' feedback over 2 years and finally completed the renewal with the following refinements.
“We’re very delighted to release our new batch of suncream that’s been refined according to our customers’ feedback, and we hope that our renewed formula makes them proud!” said the SOLYPH Team.

The Tories are finally in freefall as Labour, rising in the polls, has gone on the offensive accusing Boris Johnson of lying about a series of Downing Street “bring your own booze parties” in the gardens of power during 2020 at the height of the Covid pandemic where 1,000s of ordinary people were under tough lockdown conditions which included the banning of groups from meeting socially outdoors. At one stage more than 100 Downing Street employees were invited to a knees up. Leader of Labour controlled Bridgwater Town Council Brian Smedley (Bridgwater Westover) said “Same old Tory, one rule for us and another for them. 70,000 people died of Covid in 2020. 458 of them were across Somerset and whilst 108 people died here in Sedgemoor a similar number were invited to a Downing Street drinks party in clear violation of the rules that everyone else was abiding by. What blatant contempt. People have stopped laughing along with Boris, now every time he opens his mouth they just laugh AT what comes out.”
Labour released a list of statements in the Commons that it argued showed the PM had repeatedly lied to the House. They include repeated claims from Mr Johnson that “guidelines were observed” in No 10. The “bring your own booze” garden party is the latest in a dozen alleged parties and gatherings in 2020 held by top government figures which appear to break Covid rules imposed on the rest of the country. Others include a cabinet office “Christmas party” on December 17 and another in Downing Street on December 18
Boris Johnson, at Prime Minister’s Question Time today, has now admitted that he was at a party during the lockdown, that he ‘recognised the rage’ and ‘regretted it’ and as a result faced calls to quit from across the House of Commons and even from his own side. Johnson admitted that the rules were ‘not being followed by those who made the rules’.
AT PMQs Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer directly confronted the Prime minster and said: “There we have it. After months of deceit and deception, the pathetic spectacle of a man who has run out of road. His defence…that he ‘didn’t realise he was at a party’ is so ridiculous that it’s actually offensive to the British public. He’s finally been forced to admit what everyone knew, that when the whole country was locked down he was hosting boozing parties in Downing Street. Is he now going to do the decent thing and resign? The party’s over Prime Minister!”
Johnson struggled to joke or bluff his way out of it this time and basically pleaded with MPs to wait for the enquiry now under way to conclude before making up their minds. This was described by Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC as a ‘non apology apology’.
Somerset Labour Anger
The anger has swept across the country and here in Somerset Labour voices added to this.
Deputy Leader of Bridgwater Town Council and Sedgemoor Labour Group, Cllr Kath Pearce (Bridgwater Westover, Labour) said “It’s an absolute disgrace that the Prime Minister acted in such a cavalier way when families were being torn apart by one of the highest rate of Covid deaths in Europe at that time. It’s always been one rule for him and another for the rest of us. And, still, he fails to take full responsibility. Enough, it’s time for him to go”.
Councillor Terry Ledlie (Yeovil, Labour) said, “Local people have worked hard to play their full part in combatting the spread of the virus, no matter how hard it has been. They have a right to expect that the Prime Minister will lead by example. Sadly, Boris Johnson has let us down so badly that His position is now untenable. Every day that he remains in office now hinders our efforts to beat the virus.
Cllr Mick Lerry (Bridgwater Victoria, Labour) said: “Well the truth is finally out, the Prime Minister has now admitted that he was at the party, while the rest of the UK were following rules set by Government. Boris Johnson has tried to dodge the issue when questioned, in the hope that somehow the problem would go away. Boris has now apologised , but he is still trying to make out that he did not breach the rules at the time.”
Mick continued “When is a “party not a party”, when Boris Johnson wants to continue the deceitful approach he has shown for the British public His behaviour has blown “trust away” from the important office he holds as Prime Minister. Ordinary people have followed the rules and regulations, laid down by the Government, to such a degree, that they have been left with awful decisions to make about people close to them, who have lost their lives to covid. At the same time Boris has asked Conservative MPs to front the media in his defence. Boris has encouraged Conservative MPs to cover up for the way he has tried to deceive Parliament and the people of the United Kingdom. Boris will also continue to do this as he tries to escape from the truth. It is not just Boris who you cannot trust; but, the many Tory MPs and Government Ministers who have paraded themselves in front of the media to keep and preserve the Prime Minster’s behaviour of double-dealing and dishonesty. Boris now has to stand down as Prime Minister, if he has any integrity for the important office he holds”.
Chair of Bridgwater Branch Labour Party, Irena Hubble-Brezowski said “Corruption, corruption and more corruption. Fancy words and twists on whether it was a party or a meeting. Many MPs have a legal background but even Johnson’s loyalist supporters must be finding it hard to find yet more weasel words to justify what went on. And while this pantomime goes on, we are being told the pandemic is over. It is not true. They are preparing to charge for LFTs, charge pensioners for prescriptions and more. This Party is over . Time is up.”
Labour members are calling on the County’s Tory MPs to condemn Boris Johnson’s actions and to join Scottish Tory Leader Douglas Ross in calling for the Prime Minister’s immediate departure and William Wragg, vice chair of the 1922 committee who said fellow MPs were ‘frankly worn out from defending what is invariably indefensible.”

The annual homage to one of my favorite releases, the Upper Deck hockey set. I participate every season in the ritual that is buying a few packs, chasing the rookies in the Young Gun portion of the set, and drying away the tears when I end up without any yet again. But, I always love the photography, and the set design is usually sharp enough to keep me entertained. This year is no different. I bought 5 packs last week at Target on the day I started getting sick, and I’m finally getting around to posting them on the blog.Pack 1 of 5 had nothing to speak of, save for the Alex Ovechkin base card. I will stop and watch a Capitals game if I see it on TV, in hope of seeing one of Ovie’s howitzers hit the net. First year HOFer in my book.The base set pickups of the Maple Leafs will be relatively easy again this year, with two of them being pulled in pack two. While James van Riemsdyk on the right is one of the core Maple Leaf players (interesting that the photo was taken in Phoenix), Joffrey Lupul appears to have played his last game in a Maple Leaf jersey. Must be nice to have that kind of money to burn…I’ve always been a big fan of NHL jerseys, I have quite a few of them in my closet. One day I would like to own the alternate Colorado Avalanche jersey that is shown he on the Gabriel Landeskog card. Takes me back to the Colorado Rockies jersey from the late 70’s. Love it!!These were the only 2 inserts I pulled in the 5 packs that I bought. Jumbo Joe Thornton featured on the Shining Stars card on the left, and the UD Canvas cards are represented by Jason Spezza from the Dallas Stars on the right. Both will likely be sent off to COMC to be sold in the marketplace.I’ve always been a big fan of grinding type forwards that like to hit and don’t score a lot. Leo Komarov fits that description to a ‘T’. Not that the graceful skating on one leg depicted on his card would signify. I saw the Jonathan Ericsson card on the right and thought to myself “boy the numbers on his jersey are huge!!” Forgot that they had these uniforms for their outdoor game last season against the Avalanche. Guess when you’re that far away from the ice in those football stadiums that the numbers need to be big so you can see them.As usual, no luck with pulling any of the Young Guns cards, and chances are that the 2016-17 set will not be something that I chase. The cheapest copy that I saw of an Auston Matthews RC was $110, I also saw another auction that was selling a pair of the RC’s for $275. Yikes. Even the oversize box toppers of Matthews are going for about $40. This may be one of the best RC classes for quite a long time, and also one of the most expensive. I’ve got other, more pressing collecting needs at this moment, which hopefully this weekend’s card show will help alleviate.These 5 packs cost me just under $16 (including tax), so I’ll just round up to $16 even. $2000 – $16 = $1984 left to spend in 2017.Thanks for reading, Robert

Quick question: Where in the world is Gozo?
Anyone? Bueller? No? I’m not surprised. I’ve spent entire summers backpacking across Europe searching for its hidden gems, and I hadn’t heard of Gozo, either—at least not until a few months ago, when I had the chance to visit this sleepy Mediterranean island whose name means, simply, “joy.”
Also called the “island of love and honey” and Calypso’s Isle, after the mythical nymph who was said to have held Odysseus a prisoner of love for seven years, Gozo is virtually unknown to American travelers despite its location right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. I feel a little wary even telling you about it, actually. It’s the kind of place I’d like to keep secret for myself.
Just 56 miles from Sicily and 180 miles north of Africa, Gozo and its sister island, Malta, have been inhabited for more than 7,000 years, occupied at different times by the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Arabs, the Brits, the French, and the order of the Knights of Saint John. The result? A lively little melting pot of European, African, and Arabic cultures unique in all the world.
Isle of Calypso
My trip begins with a short ferry ride from Malta, the energetic urban heart of the Maltese archipelago. But from the moment I arrive at Gozo’s sleepy Mgarr harbor, it’s evident that Malta’s smaller neighbor has a quieter, gentler rhythm all its own. Above all, Gozo is peaceful. Empty country lanes, terraced hills swelling with greenery, long coastal stretches where the only other souls I see are the occasional fisherman casting a line—that’s what I find waiting for me on Gozo.
I’ve arranged my visit through Breakaway Adventures, which specializes in independent walking and cycling holidays and only just began offering the cycling option on Gozo last fall. This is one of Breakaway’s easiest cycling trips, which suits me just fine because I’ve always been more of a hiker, anyway. Despite some long hills, the mileage each day is what you’d expect on an “easy” trip, and there’s enough time built into the days to allow for all kinds of breaks and side trips. In other words, exactly as advertised.
This is a “fully supported” independent cycling trip, which means you get a map, a packet of detailed route directions, and an emergency contact on the island if something goes wrong. Touring bikes, meals, accommodations, and luggage transfers from inn to inn throughout the trip are also provided. The rest—and the best part of the trip—is that everything else is pretty much up to you. Each day is just a matter of going wherever your bike takes you.
In my case, the first day brings me to Calypso’s Cave, described in Homer’s Odyssey as a place “sheltered by a copse of alders and fragrant cypresses … a spot where even an immortal visitor must pause to gaze in wonder and delight.” In many ways the entire island evokes this same sense of magic and myth, but nowhere is it more profound than here at the seaside cave where one of the central stories of Greek mythology was born.
Other highlights from the weeklong trip: Gazing through the Azure Window, a massive natural arch that acts as a window to the turquoise water of the Mediterranean; and hiring a boat to explore the Inland Sea, a giant natural pond of shallow water fed by a narrow opening in the limestone cliffs that ring the western side of the island. Most boats, which are available for hire on the spot, will take you through the opening for a look at Gozo from the open sea.
Whether or not there’s any truth to the Calypso legend, cycling around this sun-drenched island is an undeniably sensual experience. The scent of wild thyme fills the air along the open country roads, while the smells of warm bread and fresh pastizzi seem to greet you in every village piazza. But best of all—in my book, anyway—is the salty coastal breeze that keeps you cool at every turn. After a day of cycling, nothing feels better than the wind on your face.
Breakaway Adventures is run by the husband-and-wife team of Michael Carson and Carol Keskitalo, who met—not surprisingly—on a bike trip many years ago. Both are still actively involved in the business, with Carol handling the marketing and customer service and Michael focusing on developing and selecting new tours, like the Gozo trip.
Their Gozo cycling tour ranges from $1,599 to $2,062, and includes seven days and six nights, plus meals, accommodations, luggage transfers, touring bikes, airport transfers, and local support in case of emergency. The quality of the hotels is worth noting: All are four- or five-star properties with pools, and two of the three have spa facilities as well. The package price is a good bargain for the level of accommodations and quality of the cycling equipment provided.
The cheapest months to go, both in terms of getting there and for the price of the cycling trip, are January through May. This works out well because the Maltese Islands experience the typical Mediterranean weather patterns: hot summers and mild winters. Me, I prefer the winter months. A Mediterranean winter feels like spring to this New England native.
Most travelers fly into Malta’s international airport and ferry over to Gozo. There’s also a ferry to Malta from Sicily. If you’re flying from the U.S., spend your first night in a major city like London or Paris and then fly on to Malta the next morning. Because there are no direct flights from the U.S. to Malta, it’s better to break up your travel time with an overnight in Europe rather than trying to squeeze at least two connections and a ferry ride into a single travel day. (Trust me, I learned this the hard way.)
On a similar note, it would be a shame to visit Gozo and not spend at least one day on Malta. I’d recommend adding this to the end of your trip, visiting the fortified cities of Valetta and Mdina—both with interesting histories of their own—and having dinner at one of the many restaurants by the water in lively St. Julian’s, where the night-and-day difference between Gozo and Malta is at its most apparent.
St. Julian’s a great place to sit back and relax with a drink, watching the bustle of life in the city rush by while reflecting happily on the careless, untouristed charm of Gozo just a few miles away.

Before we went out on patrol one of our Prayer Pastors talked about our serving, giving to God was at a cost to us and that if it didn’t cost us something it was of no worth.
At about 2.30 am we were called to a lassie, completely out of reason due to alcohol, no phone, no money, no friends anywhere. We managed to get two phone numbers; one no reply, the other a friend who didn’t want to know.
The police didn’t think they could help and when we tried to ring for an ambulance they intimated it was going to be a good long while before they could get to us. We couldn’t get the girl anywhere near sober enough for a taxi and in any case she had no money. The Prayer Pastors had been called so I knew they would be praying for a resolution, some miracle.
We were all cold, and I know I felt tired, tired with inability to solve the problem. I suddenly knew we should be praying out loud ourselves. So I started ….”Father you know we are all feeling cold and tired, You know….” and then the words of our Prayer Pastor from earlier came into my head…. “Father, not for ourselves…..but for this girl please….”
I got no further, I was going to ask for a miracle when around the corner came the friend we had called earlier. She decided she couldn’t leave her, but had to help!

"In this brand new 6-hour course, IM Valeri Lilov teaches you the 47 most important endgames that anyone from an amateur to Grandmaster must know."
Practical Endgames for Club Players
Most chess books and videos are focusing on so-called theoretical endgames. Those are your typical King vs. Pawn, Rook and Pawn vs. Rook and other endgames. What’s missing is the practical endgames.
Those are not necessarily the exact replicas of the positions you’ll find in most endgame manuals. Those are the positions club players encounter regularly in their games. There is hardly any theory because there are just too many possibilities.
How do you learn practical endgames?
The only way to master those endgames is by learning the patterns. That’s exactly how Grandmasters outplay those lower-rated opponents. GMs simply know enough endgame patterns, to play those positions precisely.
The second component is the experience. Of course, you won’t wake up an endgame master overnight. Working on endgames involves time and dedication.
But the good news is… there is a huge shortcut.
Not learning positional fundamentals stagnates your development as a chess player and won’t let you utilize full potential.
In this brand new 6-hour course, IM Valeri Lilov teaches you the 47 most important endgames that anyone from an amateur to Grandmaster must know. Valeri reveals his groundbreaking methodology which allows playing endings precisely and with almost zero memorization. It is based on pattern recognition and a general understanding of endgame principles. It is a very powerful weapon, yet simple enough that any club player can quickly grasp it.
The ability to convert endgames is a practical skill, not bare knowledge. That’s why along with the video course you are getting access to the endgame trainer which tremendously helps at gaining the necessary experience of playing the most important positions.
After finishing this course and getting sufficient practice, you will be able to convert those endgames even with limited time on the clock and under tournament stress.
We understand that you need FAST RESULTS, and that’s exactly what this package delivers.
Practical Endgames for Club Players [6+ hours]
Instant download of a 6+ hour practical endgame course for club players. It is a highly structured training covering 47 most important endgames positions that every chess player must know. You won’t wake up an endgame expert overnight, but thanks to IM Lilov’s decade of practical and teaching experience, you will get a substantial edge against the competition of any level.
Access to Supplementary Materials
Get access to special resources such as practicum and training exercises to reinforce concepts presented in the course.
Download PGNs of All Examples From The Video

You will learn:
- The #1 most important “maneuverability” idea when you’re playing the rook endgames
- The winning approach used by many strong Grandmasters which gets an instant edge in the Queen endgames every single
- The Fischer’s key endgame principle that allows generating strong activity in equally looking position
- Simple, but very powerful idea allowing to get a winning edge in many of the Knight endings
#1 winning strategy when it comes to the bishop endgames
- PART 1: Pawn endgames The pawn endgames are considered to be the simplest of all. However, due to its simplicity many club players run into trouble of not understanding them deep enough to convert into wins. This chapter ensures that won’t be happening to you.
- PART 2: Knight endgames The knight endgames are fairly tricky because of the nature of the piece itself. The majority of under 2200 players have very little understanding of how those endgames should be played. In this chapter, you will learn about the functionality the knight brings into the endgame. This knowledge should be sufficient enough to outperform most club players in the knight duels.
- PART 3: Bishop endgames The bishop endgames look incredibly simple, but only at the surface. There is a lot more complexity underneath and this chapter will give you all the necessary tools to help to demolish your club level opponents.
- PART 4: Rook endgames The rook endgames are the most common and most complex of all. This chapter gives you sufficient knowledge to survive and even win the majority of the rook endings against a stronger opponent.
- PART 5: Queen endgames This chapter will help you master the queen endgames. You will learn how to draw some of the positions being a pawn down and win the others. A must know for any club player.
- PART 6: Multi-piece endgames Those are typically more complex endgames, with multiple pieces present on the board and various pawn structures. This chapter gives you an overview of the most important positions of that kind. Armed with the principles you should have no problems out playing your club level competition.

Fixing ceiling water damage may be a long and tiresome undertaking but one that should be carried out with the best care and attention to detail. Repairing Damage from the Home’s Ceiling Homeowners which are repairing water damage in the house’s ceiling choose to gather a drywall repair kit to finish the job.
To make it appear more intimate, have a wall made from old timber with a couple of flowering creepers growing over it. If your house’s walls are made from plaster, I wouldn’t advise attempting a repair yourself. Painting the walls of your house is among the simplest weekend projects you’re able to take on. If done correctly, nobody will have the ability to tell the wall has even been touched. After the wall dries, you’re prepared to prime it. There are a couple of fantastic wall covering ideas on the marketplace, and in books which may just do just fine.
1 secret to a thriving painting company is to develop an honest painting business partnership and conduct quality work for people together.Make certain you use an organization which has been in operation for at Oregon least a few decades. It’s also important to use a business that’s licensed, bonded, and insured. Having served the residents of Santa Clarita Valley for over 30 decades, our company knows the way to deal with drywall repairs involving various kinds of damage. Recycling companies typically center on scrap metal. Local businesses are also decent for appointing a Plastering Contractor for the work at your dwelling. When you select the ideal drywall business in Arizona, you won’t be disappointed, since they can offer you with the drywall repairs, new installation and much more that you need and need, at a price you could afford.
If you want to find out more about our drywall repair solutions, or in case you would really like a complimentary drywall estimate, contact Bill Zemba today. On countless occasions, people called us to finish a drywall repair service which our competitors were unable to do.

It’s a brisk December evening in Glasgow as sixty thousand fans flock to the city’s east end to watch Celtic take on Real Betis of Spain in the final game of the Europa League group stages.
If there is one thing that Celtic Park is renowned for on European nights, it’s noise. But as the teams enter the fray, the usual deafening crescendo that accompanies them is missing. Even as the teams kick off, an almost eerie silence envelops the stadium which continues for most of the game.
The silence inside the stadium has little to do with what is happening on the field of play, an entertaining encounter which Celtic win 3-2. Instead, it’s the latest in a series of high-profile and ultimately successful protests by the Celtic support against the appointment of Bernard Higgins of Police Scotland to a position as Head of Security at the club.
Like all successful protests, the campaign against Higgins was well-organised and widespread, with a coalition of fan organisations taking part. But it was also deep-rooted in a very real and justified anger. An internal appointment like this would quite often go under the radar at football clubs, but on this occasion it involved an individual whose policies had a severe impact on the lives of football fans across Scotland.
As Police Scotland’s strategic lead for football, Higgins oversaw a drastic change in culture in the policing of football fans, coinciding with the introduction of the (now repealed) Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. The legislation gave the police far-reaching powers to arrest football fans on spurious grounds, with hundreds of working-class supporters being needlessly hauled through the courts.
For those unfamiliar with the legislation, it often played out as such: a fan goes to football, supports their team, joins in with some singing, and leaves the stadium. Police then sift through footage of the game and decide the fan has been singing something (for example, a song about Irish republicanism) which some nameless person could find offensive. The police then proceed to stage a dawn raid on the supporter’s house.
The supporter is arrested and charged. Their name is published in the newspapers, leading to the loss of their job and consequences for future prospects, and they are dragged through the courts for years. Often the charges would be chucked out, but the effect is the same—young lives left in turmoil due to an aggressive and disproportionate style of policing under the command of Bernard Higgins. To have that same person in charge of safety and security at their own club was simply unpalatable to the Celtic support.
‘For Celtic fans, there will not be many who don’t know at least one person whose life has been turned upside down by Bernard Higgins and Police Scotland,’ says Paul Quigley, one of the organisers of the campaign. ‘Tactics like dawn raids, like kettling, attempts to arrest fans on false grounds. Higgins had a hand in all of this. This guy being rewarded by our own club was a step too far.’
To football fans in Scotland, Higgins represents a culture of policing that’s both disproportionate and discriminatory. The experience in terms of surveillance and police harassment in going to a football game is in marked contrast to that of attending another sporting event, like rugby. The assumption that many make—with some justification—is that there is a class element to this distinction.
At the forefront of the campaign against that legislation and Higgins has been the Green Brigade, a group of Celtic ultras known for their left-wing, Irish republican, and internationalist values. Celtic was a club founded to raise money for the poor Irish immigrants in Glasgow, and those values of solidarity and struggle remain deeply etched into the psyche of much of the support.
Among other community work, the Green Brigade organises an annual food bank collection outside Celtic Park. This year—at the height of the campaign against Higgins—the collectors were apprehended by police and then fined for an apparent parking violation. Many doubted it was a coincidence.
The hierarchy of the club have rarely shared the politics of the fans, leading to a chasm between those in the boardroom and those in the stands, which has on occasion escalated into open conflict. When former Labour minister John Reid was appointed chairman of Celtic in 2007, he faced protests and was called a ‘war criminal’ by the Celtic Trust group of shareholders due to his role in the Iraq War. Ian Livingston, a member of the House of Lords, came under pressure from fans to resign from the club’s board after voting to cut child tax credits, with a petition saying his position was ‘incompatible’ with the club’s original mission. Rarely though have Celtic fans been as united on an issue as in their opposition to Higgins, and on this occasion the strength of feeling of the fans could not be ignored.
‘We started an open letter that was signed by all the main groups, supporters clubs and podcasts and websites,’ explains Quigley. ‘That demonstrated beyond doubt that it wasn’t just an issue that pertained to the Green Brigade or some people on social media. It elicited strong feelings across the spectrum of the Celtic support. That helped send a message to the club that they can’t always ride roughshod over the feelings of the fans, and it serves as a reminder to the supporters of the power we have when we work together.’
Of course, it’s not just at Celtic where the power of fans has been underestimated. The botched attempts to form a breakaway European Super League were only halted by the fan protests at stadiums in England, leading to an embarrassing climbdown from the clubs involved and the announcement of a fan-led review into ownership structures.
These episodes lay bare some of the wider contradictions of modern football. Football is only made special by the passion of ordinary people, the fans who are the lifeblood of clubs all over the world. The season of empty stadiums caused by lockdown showed just how soulless the game is without these supporters. Yet despite this startlingly obvious reality, in many ways the disconnect between those in charge of the game and the fans has never been clearer.
The game has become increasingly run in the interests of capital, with foreign owners buying clubs as cash cows or playthings or sometimes both. Football—a game loved for its richness of skill, technique, colour, and fervour—has fast become a rat race towards the riches of capital and profit.
Due to its smaller share of TV revenue, the Scottish game has been somewhat insulated from the worst excesses of the new hypercapitalist model of football that has taken hold in Europe’s major leagues. Yet the challenge for fans is largely the same—to work collectively to wrestle back power from the billionaire owners and have more of a say in how their clubs are run.
In the campaign against Bernard Higgins—like the protests against the Super League—fans showed the strength of collective organising and protest. But having some form of fan ownership of clubs must remain the goal if these victories are to be turned into something more concrete.
In 1994, when Celtic were saved from bankruptcy after a bitter struggle with the board at the time, it was famously declared, ‘The battle is over. The rebels have won.’ In this instance, the rebels have once again won the battle—but the war has yet to be decided.

Thanks to a great tweet by @TeslaTested we’ve gotten a rare peak into the next Tesla OTA Update. While the currently available 2019.36.2.2 update introduced a 5% power increase along with many other benefits, this next (as yet unreleased) one promises to make charging for Model 3 SR+ owners much faster.
This 2019.40.1 update is apparently being tested by an invitation only “early testers” group but the release notes have already leaked. In them we see two main improvements, one to the Automatic Wipers and the other to the Automatic Lane Changes.
For Tesla Model 3 SR+ owners (such as myself), they also get a huge upgrade in charging capabilities. Currently SR+ cars are capped when charging to 110 kW. In real life this is more around 100 kW and even then it’s only for about 10 minutes between the 0-35% state of charge.
With this new update that limit will be increased by 55% to a maximum of 170 kW. This could see SR+ 0-80% charge times drop by about 10 minutes under certain conditions!
A few months ago Elon tweeted about the upcoming “Deep Rain” neural net that Tesla has been working on for its Automatic Wipers and it looks like it’s finally ready for prime time soon.
Trained on over 1 million images for the detection of water droplets on a windshield it should prove far better than what’s currently being used in Tesla’s. While I personally haven’t had any issues with the rain sensor there’s a decent number of owners out there that are looking forward to this quite a bit.
As it’s based on a deep neural net, it also allows for the system to learn and improve over time. This is done by capturing the manual button presses that owners do when the system isn’t working as wanted and incorporating them back into the neural nets training.
This should allow the system to learn about different rain patterns and use cases all over the world automatically and push those updates to the entire fleet.
More Confident Lane Changes
Finally the update looks to also address the automatic lane changes. Apparently they have been tuned to make them more confident as well as initiating faster too.
While a slow, steady and timid lane change is quite nice to get used to the system it can quickly become inconvenient in fast past environments like freeways during peak hour. I’ll certainly be testing this out once it lands in our car and the charging upgrade is very welcome too!
The benefits include: 1) How to get those silky smooth videos that everyone loves to watch, even if you're new 2) How to fly your drone, from taking off to the most advanced flight modes 3) Clear outlines of how to fly with step-by-step instructional demonstrations and more 4) Why flying indoors often results in new pilots crashing their drone 5) What other great 3rd party apps are out there to get the most out of your drone 6) A huge mistake many pilots make when storing their drone in the car and how to avoid it 7) How to do all of these things whilst flying safely and within your countries laws.

Telework, Team and Resilience
Following our article about Decontainment management in companies, it is obvious that the share of teleworking and virtual work that we are currently experiencing is destined to continue beyond this period of crisis; by choice or by necessity.
But are we, despite the personal and organizational adaptation efforts already made, sufficiently prepared to work at the same time from a distance, as a team, and this in the long term?
Grand-Ducal Regulation of March 15, 2015 declaring the general obligation of an agreement on the legal regime of telework.
According to scientific literature(1), several constraints can occur under these conditions; some acute (e.g. time pressure, understaffing, etc.) and others more chronic, but also just as damaging (e.g. lack of competence of a member, late submission of reports, non-attending or being passive at virtual meetings, etc.).
Thus, dwelling on these "banalities" of daily life becomes fundamental so that the teams in place do not see their cohesion, well-being and performance crumble over time. We are therefore talking here about team resilience capacity, i.e. how to resist stress factors and overcome them in order to continue to function, without exhausting all its resources.
« A group of resilient individuals does not make for a resilient team! »
Therefore, in order to strengthen this resilience in virtual teams, it could be helpful to implement a simple mode of reflection, i.e.:
- Practice self-reflection during difficult situations by not letting yourself be guided by automatic self-interpretations such as « he’s doing this out of laziness; she doesn’t belong here; he’s rude, etc. », but by actively identifying the real causes and planning concrete actions.
- Then, it is therefore a question of taking action in two basic ways:
- Regulating emotional expression: e.g. speaking openly at the first sign of potential problems, asking questions when in doubt, celebrating yourself when successful, varying your communication channels according to necessity, letting go, etc.
- Promote inclusion of members: e.g. give more space for passive members to speak, express that the lack of individual skills is a team challenge to be solved, openly encourage individual participation, etc.
Secondly, with regard to teams as a whole and acute stress factors, according to research(2) it is possible to intervene before, during and after a difficult situation.

The picturesque Quebec City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sits on the Saint Lawrence River. It is the capital of the Quebec Province and the only fortified city north of Mexico. Aside from the rich history that emerges from each cobblestone walkway, Quebec is unique in that it is one of the only places in North America where you can abundantly soak in French-Canadian culture. The French heritage has shaped this city and still seeps throughout, allowing tourists to feel like they have stepped into a french village.
Quebec City is truly a year-round destination, with an abundance of activity offerings for Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. It is especially known for the enchanting winter-wonderland that envelopes the city during the winter months and while COVID circumstances led us to a more desolate Quebec, we were not disappointed in the beauty that the city was decorated with by the winter snow.
If you are only considering a trip to this historical landmark, we recommend that you turn that consideration into a definite bucket lister. From the historical structures to the divine food and french culture, Quebec is certainly a destination for the books.
In March of 2020 we had a fully booked itinerary that would take us to seven different European Countries over the span of twelve days. But, our plans like so many others’ were suddenly altered when the world became exposed to COVID-19. While this virus had not put a halt to life in America as of early March, it would only be a matter of days we would learn. Thankfully we decided to refund our European ‘baby-moon’ and choose a different destination within driving distance. It was only two days after we returned from Canada that borders began closing, travel restrictions were set in place, and lock-downs began to normalize in cities across the world. God protected us from hopping on a plane en-route to Europe. It was a huge blessing and it gave us the unique opportunity to experience a rather quiet Quebec City.
How To Get There
Plane - Quebec City has one of the top ranked airports in Canada located approximately 20 minutes from the city center, offering daily flights to many national and international cities.
Car - Driving is truly a great way to not only see Quebec City, but to also see the surrounding countryside. For this reason, we personally prefer to drive over other transit methods. The drive is approximately eight hours from New York City and seven hours from Boston. Once you get to the city it can be challenging to find parking but many hotels offer valet services for reasonable rates and there are available parking garages within close proximity.
Train - Traveling by rail to Quebec City can be a unique option, providing the opportunity to see the country outside of Quebec City. This option can be quite lengthy though with travel times of up to a day from New York City. However, if you are already in the Montreal area the travel time by train is just 3.5 hours and will take you right into the heart of Quebec City.
How To Get Around
Quebec is a very accommodating city to visit and travel. By far the best way to get around and experience the old town is by foot. Almost everything is within a few minutes walk. Cycling is also a popular option and you can even rent a bicycle to use during your visit. If you are looking to see the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac we recommend riding The Funicular as it provides views along the ride and saves a great deal of time versus walking to get there.
There are parking garages located right within the heart of old city so parking can be a convenient option and if you are looking to get outside of the old town then driving and parking is recommended as well as taking the public transit system which offers weekly and daily passes.
When To Visit
Quebec City offers year-round excitement for visitors. Whether you’re interested in terrace dining during the warmer months or strolling the snow-capped cobblestone streets during the winter months there is something for everyone throughout the different seasons of the year.
Popular times to visit Quebec City are during the warmer summer months of June through September where guests can experience natural landscapes and being outdoors. In contrast, the winter months of December, January and February are also popular destinations times that offer winter sports, holiday enchantment and cozy atmospheres, drawing in tourists from around the world.
We personally took a long weekend to explore during March and we were not disappointed despite the current COVID closures and the slower pace after the popular excitement of the holiday season. We would love to return to Quebec City during December to experience Old Quebec turned into a beautifully lit winter wonderland.
Where To Lodge
Quebec houses a vast array of top-notch lodging options. The city offers every desirable stay from world-class ranked hotels to quaint, cozier lodging. Regardless of where you choose to lay your head while visiting Quebec, you are bound to experience cozy and/or natural beauty within steps.
Auberge Saint-Pierre - Our personal choice for luxury accommodations. Cozy is the word to describe Auberge! This beautiful 19th century heritage structure located conveniently in the heart of Old Quebec offers suites and rooms that will make you want to justify staying inside during your visit. The hotel staff are extremely accommodating, offering services from dining and warm beverages to cozy fireplace settings where you can curl up with a good book or puzzle. We simply did not want to leave.
Le Monastere Des Augustines - If you’re looking to fully embrace culture and history during your stay then look no further. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lodge and dine amongst the Augustinian sisters’ in the hotel-dieu de Quebec Monastery.
Hotel de Glace - Only open during particular months of the year, this Ice Hotel is the only of its kind in North America and worth noting. With changing themes, beautifully designed ice sculptures and the awe of being surrounded by a structure crafted out of ice, this Hotel is a must experience!
Fairmont Le’ Chateau - Arguably the most popular lodging within Quebec City, this luxurious hotel offers views of the Saint Lawrence River, over 600 rooms and provides an elegance intertwined with history. The Fairmont Le’ Chateau is family friendly with activities that range from kids scavenger hunts to couples massages and fine dining. Even if you choose not to stay here during your visit to the city it is certainly worth visiting the stunning architecture and design.
VRBO - While Quebec City offers an extensive variety of hotels to choose from there are certainly options for renting a more intimate and private setting through VRBO. Many of the options listed on VRBO are located conveniently in the heart of the city, or close to popular attractions.
What To Do
The number one recommendation we have for you during your stay in Quebec City is simply to walk, explore and marvel at all of the hidden gems that lie within the city. Quebec City is unique in that it is arguably more convenient to walk in order to get from location to the next. From the picturesque Rue Petit Champlain to the Umbrellas of Rue du Cul-de-Sac or the stunning river views from the Dufferin Terrace, the only true way to soak in the vibrance and beauty of this city is to get out and explore on your own two feet.
2) Get Cozy!
If you choose to visit during the colder winter months like we did then you will likely find yourself daydreaming about curling up by a crackling fire with a warm cup of something as you glance at the white blanket across the cobblestone streets outside. The entire city has an ability to transform your mindset into the ultimate winter wonderland and most hotels and restaurants know how to accommodate this with fireplaces and warm beverages to turn your great daydream into a reality. You will also find a number of warming stations located throughout the historic centre where you can cozy up by a bustling outdoors fire for a few minutes.
It comes as no surprise that Quebec City would also offer fantastic shopping options. You can easily find yourself slipping out of one store and quickly into the next one, there are endless options. Quartier Petit Champlain offers an array of shops, many of which are local to the city and provide a diverse category from clothing and accessories to souvenirs and wine/dine. We were personally impressed with the multitude of art galleries and studios found within the city. It would be fair to assume that people from both far and near come to Quebec City to observe and purchase pieces of art such as glass, paintings and even sculptures.
4) Place Royale
This square located in the heart of Old Quebec City truly encompasses all of the above and more. Lined by local shops and restaurants and sheltered by the picturesque stone church Notre Dame Dest Victoires, this square is crafted for a movie scene or something you read about in books. More historically, Place Royale represents the founding location of Quebec City in 1608.
5) Basilica Catedral Notre Dame
This impressive structure surviving since 1647 was the first church to be made of stone in Quebec City. The Catedral has been transformed and renovated a number of times throughout the years but has maintained many of it’s original structure creating a beautiful eye piece for visitors of the city.
6) Montmorency Falls
If you’re looking to remove yourself from the bustle of the city take a quick detour to Montmorency Falls. This massive waterfall along the Montmorency River offers views year-round by cable car, on-foot or via snowshoe, observation decks, or the suspension bridge. There’s a little fun for everyone from ziplining to ice-climbing. Dining options, while limited during the winter months, offer an assortment from warm beverages to ice cream during the warmer months.
Old Quebec City in itself has a ton to offer, but if you’re just craving sport and outside activity you don’t have to travel far either. There’s a depth of options for everyone, and if you find yourself fortunate enough to be in Quebec City during the peak winter months of December, January or February you will have a unique opportunity to experience one or many of the winter activities that are offered. These include, but are not limited to Cross-Country Skiing, Dog Sledding, Snowmobiling, or even Snow Tubing.
Village Vacances Valcartier - Just so happens to be the largest winter playground in North America and makes a great place to start your winter adventures.
Au 1884 - Stop by for the ultimate experience of a Toboggan slide right in the center of Old Quebec. This one is a must-do!
Parks Near and Around Quebec City - There are plenty of trails, parks and activities that can fulfill your removal from city life to an outdoor thrill. Keep in mind when planning that some parks admissions may vary depending on the time of year due to weather. A few notable parks include:
Surrounded by breathtaking mountainous terrain and glacial valleys this park is only 30 minutes from Quebec City and offers almost any type of recreation you can imagine, from canoeing and fishing to hiking and skishoeing. Rentals are available through the park and the National Park also offers lodging accommodations.
Offering spectacular views of the Saint Lawrence River and free for admission, Plains of Abraham is a popular destination for walking and ski/snowshoeing.
Soak in the outdoors like a local with this park, closer to the Quebec City Centre which offers beautiful views of the river and natural scenery of Quebec year-round.
Ice Skating - Many of the parks mentioned above also offer a true canadian favorite - ice skating! Rentals are widely available. Notable, in-town rinks are:
Located in the heart of Old Quebec this skating rink is free for admissions with available rentals.
Located conveniently to old Quebec City, this ice-skating trail is available day and night.
8) Explore Île d'Orléans
Located on the Saint Lawrence River only a few kilometers from downtown this island was one of the first areas colonized by the French. Known for it’s fresh produce, cheese and maple this is a great place to drive for a local outing. There’s everything from tastings and delicious dining to shopping and local art. We managed to drive the majority of the island within a half day but due to Covid we were unable to stop at many locations so it could easily be a quick morning trip or extended to a full day trip depending on your itinerary.
Because Quebec City is embraced with history and culture, there are a number of museums to choose from, many which are conveniently accessible.
Musée de la civilisation - We stayed across the street from the back entrance of this museum. Unfortunately we were unable to visit due to COVID-19 closures. However, we were told more than once to return and tour the educational exhibits. It gives a well depicted account of the historical happenings of the city.
Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec - This art history haven is situated within four pavilions and offers both modern and ancient art.
Le Monastere des Augustines - Remember the monastery that you can lodge in for a night? Well, while you’re there be sure to check out the museum that’s attached. This exhibit will place you right back in time to discover and learn about the hospital that was once located within the walls of the monastery. You will be introduced to the tools and practices that evolved the mixture of modern and spiritual practices of the Augustinian sisters.’
Citadelle de Quebec - To learn more about the history of Quebec City, specifically it’s military background, take a guided tour or visit the museum within the Citadel. This property which offers breathtaking views of the city also houses Canada's oldest military building along with other impressive historical establishments relevant to its history.
Musee du Fort - Remember that Quebec City is the only fortified city North of Mexico and there's plenty of history surrounding that. Musee du Fort is a smaller museum but helps to connect the battles and history of the city and it’s formation.
Erico - Take a step away from the city's history to learn about something that’s also very important and exciting, the history of CHOCOLATE! Handmade with care and creativity, Erico’s offers an educational experience while tasting exquisite chocolates.
10) Attend a Festival
Winter Carnival - Probably one of the most noteworthy and recognized festivals of Quebec City is its annual Winter Carnival in February. There’s everything to experience from ice sculptures, ice-canoeing, and nightly parades. This pre-lent festival in the heart of winter offers excitement and thrill that will warm the soul.
Québec Exquis - Offered multiple times throughout the year, this is a unique opportunity to taste some of the most exquisite cuisine from renowned local chefs.
Carrefour international de théâtre - Each spring the Carrefour International de théâtre hosts this innovative theatric festival in Quebec City. Come enjoy local and international talent rooted in theatre and cultural arts.
New Years Eve - If you think NYC is the place to be for New Years Eve, think again. Apparently, Quebec City puts on quite a festival to ring in the year as well.
Festival d'été de Québec - For all the music lovers out there this isn’t just SOME music festival. This is the LARGEST music festival in Canada. In fact, it’s so large that it has to span a number of days, featuring well known and some up and coming bands/musicians.
Pentathlon des neiges - Calling all athletes - or anyone just eager to have some fun and get outside. Grab your gear and get ready for this multisport event that happens each February. You can register solo or as a team to complete the challenge. Then, once you reach the finish line it’s time to celebrate!
The Bordeaux Wine Festival - A combination of exquisite cuisine and Bordeaux wines…. Need I say more?
Wine & Dine
Quebec is known for it’s one-of-a-kind, culturally divine cuisine throughout the city. There’s truly something appealing for everyone, and of course a few dishes that you just have to try while you're there.
1) Maple Taffy - When in Quebec you must taste some delicious maple taffy made from local maple syrup.
La Petite Cabane a Sucre de Quebec offers a unique opportunity for you to make your own by putting the maple syrup into the freezing snow and watching it turn into maple taffy right before your eyes.
2) Poutine - Think Fries with Comfort - Local to Canada are delicious Fries, Gravy and a Cheese cuisine that is a must try.
3) Crepes - Eating Crepes when in Quebec is an absolute must! Our go-to spot for a delicious variety was Le Bellig. We cannot recommend it enough! The service was amazing. The atmosphere quaint and cozy and every single crepe we tasted was outstanding.
4) Tourtière - Essentially a meat pie. We didn’t actually have any while we were there but it was on the menu at a ton of different places and is a Quebec staple.
5) Le’ Buffet De L’Antiquaire - If we had stayed longer this would have been our go-to spot for many breakfast meals. Think french diner in a quaint, convenient location serving all of your favorites!
6) De-Sac Resto Pub - We stumbled upon this pub our first night in town and it fulfilled every desire for delicious, warm food in the coziest of atmospheres. It was representative of everything we imagined for winter wonderland Quebec. Complete with a wood-burning stove making delicious pizzas and friendly servers greeting you as you walk in from the brisk snowy streets.
7) Ciel! Bistro-Bar - If you’re looking to dine with a view this is your spot. We cannot personally attest to the quality of the food since we did not get the opportunity to eat here. However, we can deduce that from the location, on the 28th floor of Hotel Le Concorde that your dining experience will be embraced by panoramic views of the city.
8) Épicerie J.A. Moisan - The Oldest grocery store in North America with a delectable variety of local foods, as well as international selections. What more could you ask for?
Extra Tips & Tricks
* Clothing - Think Layers! Especially in the winter months. Going in and out of the cold will require some intentional layering. Keep in mind it IS cold outside, but also very warm inside.
*Don't hesitate to try something unfamiliar!
*While English is widely spoken in Quebec City, French is the primary language and most commonly spoken throughout the city.
* Don't just stay indoors! Get out and explore or participate in one of the many outside recreational offerings.

Top 5 Ways To Invest in Filecoin(FIL)
Buy Filecoin Mining Machine
One of the ways to secure an investment with Filecoin is by buying a mining machine. Filecoin, like every other cryptocurrency, is mined by millions of people around the globe to generate these coins. Unlike our traditional currency which is printed, digital currencies are made available on the blockchain through mining. This process of making the coins(Fil) available to the crypto-community is called mining.
Interestingly, this can be done by anyone with the right equipment to solve extremely technical equations for the generations of the coin. In the case of Filecoin, mining is made easy with the invention of the mining machine. Filecoin investors need not worry about the cost and stress of installing various software and plugins needed for cloud mining. The Filecoin mining machine is specifically designed to carry out over 75% of the mining calculations all by itself.
Since you can now generate coins for the blockchain network, the network rewards every miner with tokens that can be converted into coins. Once you invest to buy a Filecoin mining machine, you have the equipment to mine for the blockchain and earn coins for a lifetime. Yes, that's a lifetime of constantly receiving Filecoins for a job well done. The only worries moving on is the extra cost of running the machine and manpower if needed.
Invest In FIL Futures
We just spoke about generating coins and earning tokens through the process of mining. What if you'd rather invest in something else that doesn't require much commitment? Well, there's another option to invest in Fil Futures. Investing in Filecoin(Futures) is owning a few of the cryptocurrency itself. When you acquire any cryptocurrency like Fil, there's an increase in price over a period.
At first, this margin between the purchased amount and the current price might not be so far apart. However, the only way people have made millions of Filecoin is by waiting for its value to increase tremendously enough to profit their investments. The prices of cryptocurrencies are not determined by similar factors surrounding our fiat currencies. You can be guaranteed that your coins have a higher chance of appreciating rather than depreciating.
Fil Futures investment is more profitable when it's considered a long-term investment. Investors who pull out their investments after a short period end up leaving off with scraps. To invest in Fil Futures, all you have to do is create an account with the blockchain, secure a wallet, and purchase your Filecoins into the wallet. The procedure doesn't require many technicalities and can be carried out on your smartphone or personal computer.
Buy Filecoin Cloud Computing Power
For a better mining experience, there are extra gadgets to make you earn more and faster. The Filecoin cloud computing power is one of the most important of all because it's responsible for dividing the power stored by the mining machine. For the machine to remain functional and at its best efficiency, the power stored up needs to be divided into different tokenization sections. When this is achieved, users(investors) like you can mine at a low threshold.
With cloud computing power, miners necessarily do not need to bear the cost of a mining machine to generate tokens. By getting the right cloud computing products and complementing them with the cloud computing power, you're good to go. The cloud computing power product in a nutshell helps you generate more coins and at a lower threshold without having to spend extra on purchasing a mining machine.
Utilizing cloud computing power with the necessary contract products would increase your chances to earn more profits for your investment. Nonetheless, sticking to the basics of mining Filecoins without spending so much on extra products would still earn you tokens. You just need to be certain how much capital you intend to invest in.
Invest In FIL Contract Products
The Filecoin contract product market, like every other digital currency contract, is technology essential for the safety and development of cryptocurrencies. There are numerous financial benefits to investing in smart products. One of which running autonomous is the most important of all. For smart contracts to run effectively, they need contract products of various kinds to carry our detailed tasks.
Drafting out these contracts per second on the Filecoin blockchain network requires a constant operation. Investing in a Fil contract product is a lucrative Filecoin investment that would profit you for as long as the cryptocurrency remains valid. Just like Bitcoin and Etherum, all cryptocurrencies have contract codes written for every transaction performed on the networks. These codes are generated and saved on random decentralized mining computers for safety purposes.
Because the coins can't remain on every contract, there's a constant need for contracts to be generated. In most cases, smart contracts are referred to as transmitter financial flow. The fact that they always need during every daily Filecoin transaction makes contract products lucrative. This is another interesting way for you to invest in Filecoin and make a profit while the blockchain utilizes your contract products.
Conclusion: Invest Today!
Investing in Filecoin goes beyond the usual way of purchasing Fil Futures. We now have these various ways in which investors can double, triple, or have long-term profitable investments in Fil. Purchasing the Filecoin mining machine is one of the active ways to put your money where your mouth lies.
However, you can also invest in cloud computing power while you mine Filecoins and get rewards in the long run. Contract products is another profitable way to ensure your investment in Fil lasts the test of time. These products are essential to the security of each transaction made on the blockchain. So it's certain that you'll always get profit from them. Make those investments today!

Busier Atlantic hurricane season forecastPosted On: Aug. 22, 2017 9:29 AM CST
The Weather Co. on Tuesday increased its 2017 hurricane forecast due to warmer water temperatures in the Atlantic.
The Atlanta-based division of IBM increased its forecast numbers for the full season to 17 named storms and nine hurricanes, four of which are major hurricanes, compared with the 15 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes previously projected. These numbers include the eight named storms and two hurricanes that have occurred as of Tuesday.
The current forecast numbers are now higher than both the long-term 1950-2016 normals of 12 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes, but match the recent “active period” (1995-2016) normals of 15 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes, the company said in a statement.
“We are already off to a fast start to the 2017 tropical season,” Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist at The Weather Co., said in the statement. “As the positive ocean temperature anomalies in tropical Atlantic continue to increase and the model trends lean more towards La Niña conditions heading through the peak of the season, we have no choice but to raise our numbers further. There will likely be significant subseasonal fluctuations in activity levels, such that the peak of the season may be less active than normal but that both sides of the peak will be unusually active.”

Finance Minister Simon O’Brien has announced around 10,000 square metres of state government office space will be moved to Joondalup.
Mr O’Brien said the Department of Finance would work with agencies over the next few months to confirm their needs and an expression of interest would then be put to market.
Around 600 staff will be moved under the plan, the Minister said.
The plan is part of the state govenrment’s ambitions to save up to $25 million per year by moving office accommodation from the inner city to suburban locations.
The plan was first launched in 2010, when 5,000 public servants from 18 locations and 23 agencies were shifted into new facilities in Perth, West Perth, East Perth and Osborne Park.
In June Mr O’Brien announced that staff would move from approximately 80,000 square metres of office space in the CBD to Murdoch, Stirling and Fremantle.
That was followed by a July announcement that the government was expanding its office consolidation plan to the regions, with Mandurah, Busselton and Northam the first country towns to be included in the cost-saving initiative.
“Perth’s CBD office market remains extremely tight, and there is an opportunity for government to achieve significant savings through the decentralisation and consolidation of office accommodation,” Mr O’Brien said.
“However it is more than just savings – it will also result in improved public access to government services, and decentralisation will help stimulate economic and social activity at metropolitan locations.”

Rental properties are virtually everywhere nowadays. Whether you’re a real estate investor or someone who’s looking for a place to reside in, rental property is an incredibly viable option regardless of your budget and your goals. But apart from investing in or leasing a rental property, something you should never forget to consider is taking out an insurance plan on rental property. While this may seem like a bothersome additional cost, having an insurance plan is invaluable, and it’s important that you know which type of insurance to avail of.
Why is Insurance Important?
Although owning or leasing a rental property presents you with an opportunity for security, whether financial or otherwise, no one really knows what can possibly happen on any given day, and it’s important that you protect yourself from unexpected events that could deplete your pockets instantly.
Knowing all about insurance is also an important aspect of real estate agents’ jobs, as they can refer clients to reputable insurance providers who will make sure that you’re well-protected.
Taking out an insurance policy will ensure that you will be safe from all the inherent risks that come with owning or renting a property, whether they be acts of nature or other unexpected events that might cause you to incur additional costs. By having an insurance policy, you’ll be able to be covered financially in case these events happen.
While having insurance also entails having additional expenses to pay for every now and then, the minimal cost of premiums is nothing compared to the possible costs you may incur should disaster strike. Having insurance basically means paying for your financial stability.
What Types of Insurance are Available?
When dealing with rental property, there are numerous insurance types you may opt for, depending on whether you’re a landlord or a renter. Here are the insurance types you can avail of and what they provide for you.
As the name implies, landlord insurance is available for landlords who own or put up for lease rental properties. With how widespread renting is today, owning a rental property is a great way to increase your streams of income, but it also comes with responsibilities such as ensuring your tenants’ safety and maintaining the property.
Landlord insurance can help with these responsibilities by providing for protection from property damage and legal liabilities. Property damage insurance deals with answering for repairs necessitated by disasters such as earthquakes and fires, while liability protection ensures that you have finances to cover expenses for injuries sustained by tenants caused by property defects.
A typical landlord insurance also includes coverage for lost rental income, which compensates you in case your property becomes uninhabitable due to unforeseen damage.
Some landlords may require tenants to get renter’s insurance, because landlords are generally not liable for loss or damage to renters’ personal property. Thus, it may happen that a disaster occurs and the tenant receives no compensation from the landlord unless the tenant himself or herself sustains an injury.
By having renter’s insurance, a tenant does not need to go through the cumbersome process of going after the landlord and trying to prove the landlord’s liability. Just by proving the loss and its cause, a renter can be compensated.
Umbrella Insurance covers other areas that may not be covered by your ordinary renter’s or landlord’s insurance. This adds an extra layer of protection with regard to other areas, such as providing compensation for particular lawsuits, injuries, and may even include additional financial protection concerning areas already covered by your insurance.
With umbrella insurance, you can basically recover more than you could have in cases where the amount of your claim exceeds the limits of your policy.
The type of insurance you should opt for primarily depends on whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, and when it comes to rental property, insurance should be a priority. Having insurance will help you protect your assets in the long run and will secure your peace of mind. Plus, availing of an umbrella insurance policy is an option if ever you feel like you need more protection.

In 2008, Electronic Arts announced that Madden NFL games will become console exclusive titles. The reason behind this decision was that the number of console Madden players is much bigger than the PC playerbase. In simpler words that means it wasn’t profitable to keep spending resources on the Madden NFL team that handled the PC version. In a time when PC gaming was, and still is to this day, growing the decision seemed weird but it didn’t turn out to be unwise. Console exclusivity didn’t hurt the game or its sales. Madden 17 was a best seller in US in August 2016. And there is another exclusivity that makes EA’s Madden games such a good business no matter on which platform they’re delivered. Electronic Arts has an exclusive contract with the National Football Association to develop American football themed games and to use real players’ names, teams and so on. The license is yearly renewed so Electronic Arts can rest assured as they have no competition in the NFL licensed football games department. The game 2K announced in 2015 ended up being a mobile title only and it’s still in development.
Madden 17’s popularity has nothing to do with its lack of competitors. The game is a quality product. Additions and improvements are made every year. When asked if there’s any chance of seeing a Madden NFL game on PC again, Electronic Arts admitted that the chances are slim. They’ve explained that they’re are keeping FIFA Football series as the only EA Sports PC game simply because of the demand. Madden NFL is not the only EA game that became a console exclusive. However, EA officials stated that they’re not saying a definitive no Madden 17 for PC. The new Frostbite engine makes porting easier so Madden 17 for PC is doable, however, there are no plans of making a PC port in the near future. There’s been a community effort to petition to EA through social networks but without any result. The initiative was started in 2012 and it’s still active with a moderate number of supporters.

Do A105 flanges need to be tested for low temperature impact?
Recently, a batch of 2″- 28″ flanges, material: A105, standard: ASME B16.5/ASME B16.47. Those flanges are about to be shipped to Mexico. The customer wants to do a low temperature impact test before delivery.
As we all know that the low temperature impact test refers to the degree of endurance under the continuous environment of extremely high temperature and extremely low temperature in an instant, so as to detect the chemical change or physical damage caused by the expansion and contraction of the sample in the shortest time. Through this test, we can detect whether the flange can be used in the pipe connection at low temperature.
Generally, for A350 LF2 material flange, we will conduct low-temperature impact test according to the customer’s requirements, but for A105 flange, there is no relevant data for reference, so we suggest that the customer can avoid low-temperature impact test, and the mechanical property test is more in line with his requirements.
Finally, the customer took our suggestion and the order passed the mechanical property test successfully. Hebei Haihao Group- a reliable supplier, provides you with reasonable and feasible suggestions and qualified products.

An experience suitable for all ages, there are no adverse effects. Instead, it is a real remedy with important positive results for the body and mind. At the Hotel La Serenella, you can access this special environment that can create a microclimate that is rich in iodine and microelements, thanks to the salt that gives powerful beneficial effects.

Try it during your holidays in our spa hotel in the Dolomites: A session in the salt room can amplify relaxation, relieve stress, decongest, boost the immune system and alleviate tiredness and discomfort in the respiratory tract by improving circulation.
It is ideal for sportspeople after an intense day of physical activity in the mountains of Trentino, and for those who want to free themselves from accumulated stress.
Use of the salt room is not recommended for those who are allergic to iodine and who suffer from impaired cardiac function and severe arterial hypertension.
A session lasts around 30 minutes, within which you can comfortably take a seat and relax, breathing in the iodine-rich air. You will be cradled by the calming melody that accompanies the chromotherapy and pampers you.

It is difficult - and futile - to argue which American president has historically been more pro-Israel. While former President Barack Obama, for example, has pledged more money to Israel than any other US administration in history, Donald Trump has provided Israel with a blank check of seemingly endless political concessions.
Certainly, the unconditional backing and love declared for Israel is common among all US administrations. What they may differ on, however, is their overall motive, primarily their target audience during election time.
Both Republicans and Democrats head to the November elections with strong pro-Israel sentiments and outright support, completely ignoring the plight of occupied and oppressed Palestinians.
To win the support of the pro-Israeli constituencies, but especially the favor of the Israel lobby in Washington DC, Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, and his running mate, Kamala Harris, have deviated even further from the low standards set by the Democratic Obama administration. Despite his generous financial support for Israel and full political backing, especially during Israel’s wars on the Gaza Strip, Obama dared, at times, to censure Israel over the expansion of its illegal Jewish settlements.
The Biden-Harris ticket, however, is offering Israel unconditional support.
“Joe Biden has made it clear,” Harris was quoted as saying in a telephone call on August 26, “he will not tie US security assistance to Israel to political decisions Israel makes, and I couldn’t agree more.” The call was made to what the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, termed as “Jewish supporters.” The Jerusalem Post and the Times of Israel referred to this crucial constituency as “Jewish donors.”
The references above are sufficient to delineate the nature of the Democratic Party establishment’s current support for Israel. Although the view of the party’s rank and file has significantly shifted against Israel in recent years, the Democratic upper echelon still caters to the Israel lobby and their rich backers, even if this means molding US foreign policy in the entire Middle East region to serve Israeli interests.
For Republicans, however, it is a different story. The party’s establishment and the rank and file are united in their love and support for Israel. Though the Israel lobby plays an important role in harnessing and channeling this support, Republicans are not entirely motivated by pleasing the pro-Israel lobbyists in Washington DC.
The speeches made by Republican leaders at the Republican National Convention (RNC), held in Charlotte, North Carolina, between August 24-27 were all aimed at reassuring Christian Evangelicals - often referred to as ‘Christian Zionists’- who represent the most powerful pro-Israel constituency in the United States.
The once relatively marginal impact of Christian Zionists in directly shaping US foreign policy, has morphed over the years - particularly during the Trump presidency - to define the core values of the Republican Party.
“This is apocalyptic foreign policy in a nutshell,” tweeted Israeli commentator, Gershom Gorenberg, on August 24. In Republican thinking, “Israel is not as a real country but a fantasyland, backdrop for Christian myth.”
Gorenberg’s comments were tweeted hours before the controversial speech made by US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, America’s top diplomat, who delivered his brief notes from “beautiful Jerusalem, looking out over the old city.” The location, and the reference to it, were clear messages regarding the religious centrality of Israel to US foreign policy, and the unmistakable target audience.
Trump was even more obvious during an August 17 speech in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. “We moved the capital of Israel to Jerusalem,” Trump announced to a cheering crowd, “and so the Evangelicals - you know, it’s amazing with that - the Evangelicals are more excited about that than Jewish people … It’s really, it’s incredible.”
Unsurprisingly, 22 percent of Wisconsin residents identify as “Evangelical Protestants.”
This was not the first time that Trump has derided US Jews for not being as supportive of him as they are of his Democrat rivals. A year ago, Trump called Jewish Democrats “disloyal” to Israel. “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty,” he said in August 2019.
This was not a simple case of Trump’s typical political insensitivity but, rather, the cognizance that the real Republican prize in the coming elections is not the Jewish vote but the Christian Zionists.
In his speech before the RNC on August 27, Trump recounted to this same audience his pro-Israeli accomplishments, including the relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May 2018. “Unlike many presidents before me, I kept my promise, recognized Israel’s true capital and moved our embassy to Jerusalem,” Trump proclaimed.
The moving of the embassy, always a great opportunity to repeat the word “Jerusalem” before a jubilant crowd, was the buzzword at the RNC, repeated by all top Republicans, including former US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley. “President Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem -- and when the UN tried to condemn us, I was proud to cast the American veto,” Haley announced proudly, which generated an approving cheer.
In all of their references to Israel at the RNC, Republican leaders adhered to specific talking points: Iran, the US embassy move, the recognition of the Occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territories, the fight against anti-Semitism (silencing any criticism of Israel), and so on.
However, the Republican discourse seems to be detached from the traditional US foreign policy view that US support for Israel serves the geopolitical and geostrategic interests of Washington. This view, predominant among Democrats, seems to be almost entirely forsaken by Republicans, whose love for Israel is now dedicated to a purely religious mission.
In June 2015, when he was still a Congressman from Kansas, Secretary Pompeo once declared before a packed megachurch in Wichita, that the “battles” against evil is a “never-ending struggle,” one that will continue “until the Rapture,” a reference to what some Christians believe to be a sign of the end of times.
Addressing the RNC from Jerusalem on August 25, Pompeo must have felt that part of his spiritual mission has already been fulfilled.

“Business development with a sustainable business model at the core”
Many companies and organizations have a sustainability program, but very few have a truly sustainable business model. So what is a sustainable business model? Lüdeke-Freund (2010) describes a sustainable business model as ‘a business model that creates competitive advantage through superior customer value and contributes to a sustainable development of the company and society’.
In other words, a sustainable business model is a business model that has a sustainable product or service at its core. The main purpose of the company or organization is to deliver sustainable value with sustainable products or services.
We help you analyze and assess your current business model. How far are you on your journey towards a sustainable business model? Which elements of the business model need to be re-developed or freshly innovated? Is your business idea possible to mold into a sustainable business model? What does it take to innovate for a sustainable business model?
To develop a truly sustainable business model it is helpful to develop all different building blocks of the business model to be sustainable. Some of these building blocks are Customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships and revenue streams. Take the example of a solar panel manufacturer. Surely the value proposition of that company is sustainable and probably the revenue streams, too. But what about all other building blocks? Are they also sustainable just because the value proposition is sustainable? Probably not. At least not automatically. We can work with you at any level to develop your own sustainable business model. Let’s innovate together for sustainable business models!
The implementation of a sustainable business model, on the other hand, requires a lot of tenacity and at the same time flexibility. You are out on new grounds and have to check every step you take, to balance and drive the implementation. We help you steer the course and to implement successfully.
Your benefits are for example additional revenue streams, increased profitability, increased sales per customer, increased brand value, improved competitive differentiation and enhanced customer loyalty.
Our services in this area cover:
- Business development with a sustainable business model at the core
- Analysis and assessment of business models
- Development of sustainable business models
- Implementation of sustainable business models
- Networking for sustainable business models

Be Inspired to choose your destiny in life.
Congratulations to Sam, our Live In Fitness ‘Client of the Week’ who lost 8 lbs in her first week!!
Sam chose an 8 week program with Live In Fitness, but her success story is more of a LIF Journey and a path which has just began. Sam is currently a full time student who also works with children that have mental illnesses and developmental disabilities. Sam is from Kansas City and grew up with a lot of turmoil and pain in her teenage years, causing her to internalize her emotions. Like many, she found comfort in food by emotional eating, to fill something she could not seem to find in her everyday life. Her mother was tragically murdered when she was 15, leaving her world turned upside down.
Sam had always enjoyed sports, riding, and was undefeated in her national tennis tournaments. At 25 she was ready to turn her life around. Whilst attending a fitness camp she met Judy, who became her mentor, her guidance, a voice of reason and wisdom. They has such an instant bond and connection, Judy later went on to adopt Sam and her life path changed forever.
Sam turned 30 whilst here at the Live In Fitness Program. She missed out on her adolescent life experiences, but she was going to make sure her 30’s were about her and what she could achieve. She was tired of not fitting into the seats at amusement parks. She was ready to make her lifestyle change and came to LIF with Judy and family friend Susan to learn, re-educate, and make it happen. She realized it was easier to be negative than have a positive attitude. The fear of failure or a sense of not being worthy were thoughts of the past.
When asked why did you choose Live In Fitness?
I came to LIF as a safe place to reset. I have been on countless diets but lacked the motivation to follow through, ultimately allowing the temptations of life to win. It’s my time. At Live In Fitness I am given a specific meal plan and guide and am with like minded people all trying to better their lives. I knew the expectations and appreciated the accountability. The coaches and staff are invested in me and the goals I strive to achieve. I have displayed every emotion from sadness to happy and realize it’s OK. I feel a difference in my body even after a short time. I can run a little faster, lift heavier and I weigh less..
When asked, what have you enjoyed the most at Live In Fitness?
I enjoy the classes and am inspired by the Coaches. The classes are challenging and the staff are very knowledgeable and are ready to answer any question I may have. Modifications are given when needed and they know exactly when to push you beyond your potential.
During a lecture, Eric Viskovicz the owner and renowned Life Coach said something that will always resonate with me. “The way you speak to yourself is so, so important. We deserve self validation and respect and we are worth it. ”
I have always been hard on myself, seeking out my flaws and tearing myself down. This would lead to self defeat and depression. The things I would tell myself I would never say to another. After reading Eric’s ‘Power of 4′ LIF Workbook, I have started to work on my emotional triggers and mental state and well being, realizing that I am deserving. I feel empowered and ready.
When asked, what advice would you give others?
Immerse yourself in the program. Attend the classes and always reach out to your coach or team member if your struggling. Taking control and changing your life is hard but your worth it.
My favorite Quote:
“She was unstoppable not because she did not have “Failures” or “Doubts” but because she continued on despite them.”
Sam, you are a courageous, strong, and beautiful young lady who has chosen to live your life to the fullest. By choosing this path of a healthy lifestyle and healthy heart you have opened your world to such opportunity and possibility. We are excited to see what your future holds!
We are all so proud of you!!
The Best and Healthy Eggplant Parmesan
The traditional version of this Italian-American classic is known to tip the scales: heavily breaded and fried eggplant slices that are then buried in cheese and baked. Our makeover skips the fry and bakes the panko-crusted eggplant until it has a crisp exterior and wonderfully meaty interior. A combination of part-skim ricotta, sliced mozzarella, fontina, and Parmesan cheese allows for even coverage without hiding the eggplant or adding too much fat. Since the recipe debuted, jarred marinara brands have gotten wise to the need for options with less sodium. – CookingLight
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
2 cups whole-wheat panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 (1-pound) eggplants, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup torn fresh basil
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (24-ounce) jar premium pasta sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) finely grated fontina cheese
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 375°.
To make eggplant, combine 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow dish. Combine panko and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano in a second shallow dish. Dip eggplant in egg mixture; dredge in panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere and shaking off excess. Place eggplant 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until golden, turning once and rotating baking sheets after 15 minutes.
To make filling, combine basil and next 6 ingredients (through egg).
To assemble, spoon 1/2 cup pasta sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer half of eggplant slices over pasta sauce. Sprinkle eggplant with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Top with about 3/4 cup pasta sauce; spread half of ricotta mixture over sauce, and top with a third of mozzarella and 1/4 cup fontina. Repeat layers once, ending with about 1 cup pasta sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes. Remove foil; top with remaining third of mozzarella and 1/4 cup fontina. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese melts; cool 10 minutes.

Live In Fitness – Healthy Eggplant Parmesan
Lance dropped an amazing 10 lbs in his first week, for a total of 23.5 lbs in 4 weeks here at Live In Fitness.
Lance is from Washington, DC where he is an attorney, plus an established business owner. Weight has been something he not been able to conquer. As a child he always struggled with weight, trying every diet while watching his weight fluctuate 30-40 lbs over his adult life. His weight gain and obesity has affected every area of his life, from his self-esteem, to the sheer frustration of not being able to enjoy everyday activities.
What has been your biggest struggle?
“Three years ago, due to a freak accident, I ended up with a staph infection in my foot and leg requiring two surgeries. After this the doctors put me on blood pressure medications “until I could lose the weight”. Between my chronic foot pain and the medications, weight loss seemed impossible. Most recently, two months of trying my best to lose weight resulted in only 4 pounds lost. I was beginning to question whether I would ever be able to lose the weight.”
Why did you choose Live In Fitness?
“It’s reputation, location, philosophy, nutrition emphasis, and reasonable price point made it too good to pass up!! I got what I expected. Very intense workout days in small classes, excellent training instruction, good healthy meals, and a group of really supportive fellow campers – all pushing each other to the same goals. I feel great about my progress because it’s happening in a healthy way, not through fad dieting and my endurance and overall strength are achieving new heights daily. The program at Live In Fitness has reset my mind, away from the failed diet mindset I have had for 40 years. It has proven to me that I can finally have the body I want for the first time in my life, without starving or straight lifting insane hours everyday. It has shown me how much more my body is actually capable of performing, as long as I take care of it with nutrition, stretching, and proper rest.
Live In Fitness has changed my outlook and optimism about life greatly. I look forward to so many things and moments in life I had basically written off. “
What advice would you give others considering Live In Fitness?
“I would advise anyone to come for at least two weeks. Trust the system. Show up and try. You will never at the end of your life regret the time you put in here trying to find your best self at Live In Fitness!!
Two quotes I love and often reference in my life:”
“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult.” – M Scott Peck
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” – Orison Sweet Marden.
Congratulations Lance on all you have accomplished and what you will continue to accomplish in your future!! You were an inspiration and a true pleasure to have in the program! – From all of the Live In Fitness Team.
Lance – Live In Fitness

Loneliness is often associated with being alone, or in isolation, or in solitude but these states do not necessarily equate to loneliness. A person may happily live alone, prefer to spend time alone or seek solitude and not experience loneliness. Conversely, we can feel lonely when surrounded by people. It has less to do with being alone and more to do with our perception of being alone and the way this impacts us. It is our sense of connection or lack thereof that can result in feeling lonely. For example, you might feel at your loneliest in social situations where you cannot be yourself as opposed to the security you might feel when you are in your own company or seeking solitude. Alternatively, you might feel lonely because you have no one around you and as humans, we seek social connection, and this can be extremely hard. Killeen (1998) describes loneliness as the difference between a person’s social and emotional needs and the reality of their situation and whether or not it fulfils their social or emotional needs. So, when we think of this definition, it is clear that no one is immune to loneliness.
When we hear the word loneliness it is often followed by the words ‘old age’, but it is important that we do not make loneliness a fact of getting older (TILDA, 2019) and remember that loneliness can be experienced by all people at all ages. Stigma can be a barrier in helping people reach out when they are lonely. By having a greater understanding of loneliness and opening up conversations around this we can help reduce this stigma, creating a pathway for people to reach out.
Even though loneliness is a unique experience for each individual, the result is often the same, an emotionally painful experience. One we all share at some point in our lives. There are things we can do for ourselves, and for others to help ease the burden.
1. Remember that you are not alone
Loneliness is nothing to be ashamed of and something most of us will experience this at some point in our lives. In fact, so many of us feel lonely on occasion, we’re connected by the experience. Now more than ever, conversations about loneliness are essential in opening up a dialogue and letting people know that even if they are lonely, they are not alone. Let’s Talk Loneliness, a UK campaign, promotes conversations around loneliness by letting people know it is okay to talk about it. Listen to Josie’s story here.
2. Reach Out
Reach out to someone when you feel alone, perhaps a close friend, a family member, or a classmate and tell them how you feel. You will be surprised by how many people can relate to what you are experiencing. In fact, you might be helping them by reaching out to them. There are also organisations dedicated to supporting people who need to talk or are feeling lonely (at any age) such as Samaritans, ISPCC, or ALONE. Just hearing that friendly voice on the end of the line can help.
3. Peer Support
If your loneliness is long-term or chronic, and affects your wellbeing, there are peer support groups or networks that might help ease your loneliness. This may not be for everyone, but being part of a group of people that understand what you are experiencing can be very comforting. There are Recovery Education Services all over Ireland who offer online classes in mental health, recovery, peer support, and volunteer opportunities. Furthermore, organisations such as Aware and Shine run regular support groups that are open for anyone wishing to join.
4. Volunteer, join a club or community group
Engaging in a group, forum or community can help you feel included, valued and empowered. It can open up opportunities to make friends and meet people. Volunteer Ireland provides information on how to volunteer locally. Meetup.com is a platform that provides opportunities to meet new people and try new things. There are groups for each locality and you can find groups based on shared interests. It can feel daunting to join something new, especially when you feel vulnerable (or out of the habit like most of us are this year), but often taking that first step can make such a difference.
If you feel overwhelmed or like things are too much to handle alone, counselling might be an option for you. Your GP is always a good first step. Your GP can refer you to Counselling in Primary Care if you are a medical card holder. You can also self-refer to a number of counselling supports. Call the Your Mental Health Information Line (24/7) freephone on 1800 111 888 to find out about supports in your area. Or have a look at this list compiled by the HSE. There are a number of free or low cost options included. Counselling can help us gain perspective on our lives, support us as we process feelings, and encourage us as we build new roadmaps for ourselves.
Remember, it is okay to feel lonely and there are steps we can take to feel less alone. If you think someone else in your life is feeling a little lonely, don’t be afraid to ask them how they are and really listen to the answer. It can be a relief to someone just to know you care and are there to simply listen.

Continuity mistake: Just after Obi Wan kills the two aliens in the Cantina, there are two quick "reaction shots" from both ends of the bar. If you are quick, you can see that they are both shots of the same end of the bar with one shot flipped. You can see the same human with the light blue/dark blue suit on in both shots.

- Tinder app injected some $1 million in the in-app advertising to support women entrepreneurs from around the world.
- In 2017, the dating app rolled out a unique hashtag – #fundhercause to celebrate the International Women’s’ the in-Tinder way!
We are all aware of the famous dating app – Tinder. Thanks to the app for helping us to meet with strangers that eventually turned out to be our either good friends or soulmates. This women’s day, Tinder came up with something different.
To celebrate women’s day in India, Tinder invited applications from companies where at least 50% of the founding team were women. To qualify, companies should be at least 3 years old, have raised INR 35 crores in equity financing and their target audience is no one else but Gen-Z and millennials of India.

“We are proud to have women driving growth within the organization across various functions including management, product engineering, and design.

International Women’s Day – The Tinder Way!
While all other companies were simply rolling our social media creatives, poems, long-length articles to make a difference in this international women’s day, Tinder had some different plans.
The dating app wanted to raise funds – not less than $1 million to support women entrepreneurs in the country. The dating app believes change is necessary and knows that real change (the kind that actually brings a change) comes from within.
#FundHerCause – In a Nutshell:
The dating app is creative when it comes to integrating a cause and celebration. Tinder launched #fundhercause global campaign to celebrate International Women’s Day 2017 and engage people from around the world to support 12 women’s and girl’s causes.
In New York, Los Angeles, #fundhercause was the number 1 trending hashtag at that time with more 360million+ media impressions.
“The largest percentage of Tinder’s female userbase are millennial women who care deeply about women’s causes. We wanted to use our global platform to increase awareness of International Women’s Day by creating meaningful social action and chance, so we enlisted pledging to help us with our #fundhercause campaign.” – Rosette Pambakian – CP Communication and Brand – Tinder.
“This unique campaign empowered millennial women across the country to help other women by donating to causes that are important to women’s health, education, safety and more. Pledging was the critical impact on Tinder’s campaign success because the impact of each person’s donation was immediate and their large network of charities helped us support a wide variety of women’s focused causes.” Added by her.
How You Can File an Application:
The application process of Tinder for this International Women’s day goes likes this:
- You need to fill in the asked details in this application form and submit it. Make sure you are brand fit and stand up to the expectations of what the dating app is looking for.
- Tinder app will reach out to all the selected applicants through email within 2.14 business days.
- Be ready with your marketing material and copy of your ad. Don’t forget to read guidelines of the ads, restrictions and what’s cool and what’s uncool as an ad!
After rolling out its concierge service, Tinder comes up with another irresistible thing. While the formal feature was to make men smile (which comes with a cost) latter one makes everyone smile because it comes with a social cause.
We hope to see more applicants this time and let’s make this initiative as big as possible. Movements, campaigns like these are something that will always be remembered for a long time.
