This social security agency, had multiple .NET based legacy applications that weren’t web ready. They provided access to their data as web services but had to keep infrastructure on-prem due to government regulations.
The client operated on Microsoft stack and had multiple internal and external .NET apps that were developed as an integrated system and are not web based. Usage of earlier technologies like Silverlight, which aren’t supported by browsers today, restricted the ease of transformation to a web based system. They were data driven and had an internal audit team that exposed data as web services but due to government restrictions they had to keep their infrastructure in-house. The client was open to use Java and wanted to rebuild most of their applications.
WaveMaker was their choice of low-code platform as it is extensible (availability of clean readable code) and has novendor lock-in. With WaveMaker security is baked in; it saves costs, and promotes efficient development.
DATABASE – Legacy app databases were not fully leveraging RDBMS features, they used stored procedures to perform business logic. using WaveMaker, we seamlessly imported this database, mapped it, and reused business logic inside stored procedures. We also customized additional workflows.
API – Duplication of common services by multiple applications made them process heavy and slow. A wrapper function (API) was created for all common services and workflows (like login, password reset, logout, forgot password, email notification etc.). To ensure robust security these APIs were made private and additionally, calls to them were intercepted to filter out sensitive user data.
INTERFACE – To create a consistent look and feel for all applications, a common visual framework was developed, which included responsive layouts, page templates, wid- gets, and design patterns.
The database, API, and the interface together formed the core application shell. By leveraging this shell, the client can rapidly develop any applications in the future. With this shell as our base, and using the drag-and-drop visual low-code development environment of VVaveMaker, we were able to transition the client’s .NET-based applications into a Java-based system at a rapid pace without compromising on application design, control, and security.
The low-code approach using WaveMaker, helped set the base for client’s accelerated app transformation in the future. As we continuously engage with them, the approach shows potential to deliver larger business outcomes in the future.

Abstract: We propose in this paper a novel approach to tackle the problem of mode collapse encountered in generative adversarial network (GAN). Our idea is intuitive but proven to be very effective, especially in addressing some key limitations of GAN. In essence, it combines the Kullback-Leibler (KL) and reverse KL divergences into a unified objective function, thus it exploits the complementary statistical properties from these divergences to effectively diversify the estimated density in capturing multi-modes. We term our method dual discriminator generative adversarial nets (D2GAN) which, unlike GAN, has two discriminators; and together with a generator, it also has the analogy of a minimax game, wherein a discriminator rewards high scores for samples from data distribution whilst another discriminator, conversely, favoring data from the generator, and the generator produces data to fool both two discriminators. We develop theoretical analysis to show that, given the maximal discriminators, optimizing the generator of D2GAN reduces to minimizing both KL and reverse KL divergences between data distribution and the distribution induced from the data generated by the generator, hence effectively avoiding the mode collapsing problem. We conduct extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world large-scale datasets (MNIST, CIFAR-10, STL-10, ImageNet), where we have made our best effort to compare our D2GAN with the latest state-of-the-art GAN's variants in comprehensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The experimental results demonstrate the competitive and superior performance of our approach in generating good quality and diverse samples over baselines, and the capability of our method to scale up to ImageNet database.

Beating 'Threes' turns out to be a thing you can do.
'Topsoil' is a simple, cozy puzzler with charm.
It’s a long road to the castle, and a misstep could cost you.
It began as a crutch, but now it’s something else—the app I’ll never get rid of.

It’s the start of a new school year. Which means this week I was instantly forced to accept that my oldest is now a middle schooler. He is getting older and I can’t hold him back. I realized as I was driving him to his new school that this transition was going to be difficult and stressful… it has been years since I worried about him at school. Now, there is so much to consider: new experiences, rules, processes, teachers, students, challenges…Last week, hundreds of new middle schoolers poured out of their parents’ cars and anxiously walked through the front doors alone. My son went in without me.
Toddlers are suddenly entering elementary school.
First graders have suddenly grown up into middle schoolers.
Awkward middle schoolers are now cautiously walking the halls of high schools.
And most dramatically, parents are packing up their “they-were-three-yesterday” sons and daughters and dropping them off at college for the first time.
All of these come with the same blend of excitement, anxiety, sadness, and hope.
After eight years of working at a university, and now focused at Pharos to improve student success, I see transition differently all of a sudden.
Yes, it’s an adventure. Yes, it’s a sign of growing into your own. Also, it can be really hard.
I know. It’s all old-hat for professionals like us.
This is the season when the rhythm of the academic year begins. We know that August brings freshmen orientation, move-in day, meeting roommates, new class schedules, and the return of upperclassmen. We begin to teach our students how to be scholars, and students. This is where the work of Student Development starts.
Just when you get comfortable and feel like you’ve got it all together, life calls you into a new challenge. For students entering college for the first time, it’s truly a turbulent time. On your campus, in your classrooms and living in your residence halls, are hundreds of students experiencing the same things for the first time. Some will navigate it really successfully. Others, even our very best and brightest, will struggle.
If we want to transform our campus and improve student success, we have to be present with those who have been dropped off.
It’s not just another day for them…it’s new.

There are NO full time spoken word reviewers. There wouldn’t be enough shows to sustain one day-a-week reviewing, let alone pay the bills full time. In fact there are only a couple of three full time comedy journalists out there. The genres are simply not big enough. However, there are some reviewers who really know their stuff. They come to watch every single show going and are able to make considered opinions based on a wide knowledge of the genre.
When it comes to spoken word/poetry shows Natasha Tripney is top of the pile for me. She’s been reviewing Aisle16’s shows since 2004 and has, to my knowledge, reviewed a good chunk of the new spoken word shows that went to Edinburgh last year. I value her opinions and therefore pay special attention to her yearly reviews of my work.

On Tuesday we had our Junior Cross County race. The weather was perfect, families came to watch the children running and the children were dressed in their house colours ready to run their best. The races were very competitive and there was great cheering from the children who were watching.
Well done to all the runners for having 'can do' attitudes and supporting each other.
Congratulations to the children who gained 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in their age groups.
Thank you for joining us to celebrate a wonderful day.

Jenny Uglow reviews Lucian Freud Unseen at the National Portrait Gallery, London, on view through September 6, 2016.
Uglow writes: "Freud felt—in a very old-fashioned way—that his portraits somehow got to the essence, the heart of the 'self.' Martin Gayford quotes him as saying he wanted a painting not to be 'of' or 'like' the person he painted: 'I didn’t want to get just a likeness like a mimic, but to portray them, like an actor…. As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does.'"

Earlier this summer I travelled to Corfu in Greece, otherwise known as The Island of the Phaeacians. I had an amazing time and saw some beautiful sites. I knew I wanted to make a video of my experience there and so I brought my Canon 60D along almost everywhere I went. I even took it to the beach at one point standing up to my shoulders in the sea holding it firmly above my head (risky but worth it!). Recently I have made a lot of these short videos. I have decided to call them ‘Video Postcards’ as they show little snippets of the event I’ve experienced. This is my video postcard of ‘The Island of the Phaeacians’.
The majority of clips were filmed at 50 fps. This was so I could slow down the footage in post to half its natural speed creating a dreamlike quality to the piece. Unfortunately this meant that the quality of the footage went down from 1080p to 720p. I am currently saving up for a new workstation but hopefully sometime soon after I will look into getting a new camera with much higher stats than my old 60D.
During my time in Corfu my primary aim was to film as much as possible to make a video, but I also took a few snaps along the way. I have uploaded a few of my favourites below (the rest of my photos can be found on my Flickr site here). I have only recently started experimenting with altering images and am still learning new techniques all the time. Using the free editing software, Gimp, I have mostly explored altering colours in these photos, trying to create a hyper-realistic interpretation of my surroundings. I am pleased with the way they have turned out and am very eager to keep practising to improve my skills further.

DELTAVILLE, Va. — The huge holes in the walls of Zoar Baptist Church make it look like it was punched by a gigantic fist. The roof and steeple are gone, lost to one of the myriad tornadoes that wreaked deadly havoc from Oklahoma to Virginia last week.
The congregation will still celebrate Easter, of course, but not here.
As the shock wore off, a different feeling set in: gratitude. No one in the Deltaville congregation was killed by the storm system that left dozens of people dead in six states. As for having to rebuild, Zoar has been around since Thomas Jefferson was president, so it’s not the first time.
Death and rebirth form the theme of Christianity’s holiest day, and this year they strike to the core of congregations in Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina whose churches were damaged or destroyed by the tornadoes.
Planned sunrise services are going forward, even in damaged buildings. But beyond that, pastors and worshippers say the storm has done more than give them a chance to persevere: It’s called them to re-examine the essentials of their faith.
“I wouldn’t wish this on anybody, but it’s good for us,” said the Rev. Doug Western, pastor of Kendale Acres Free Will Baptist Church in Sanford, N.C.
The church, in a quiet residential neighborhood, suffered some damage, including the loss of its steeple. But many of the homes surrounding it were so badly damaged as to make them uninhabitable.
The church has become a de facto community center, stockpiling donated items and serving as a gathering point for volunteers distributing hot meals and cleaning up debris.
“We even asked ourselves, ‘Why is this church still standing, and everything is devastated around us?’” Western said.
Worshippers at Refuge Temple St. Stephen in St. Stephen, S.C., aren’t sure where they will worship on Easter Sunday, following the destruction of their 20-year-old sanctuary. But they know they will gather somewhere to offer praise and thanks.
Each day since the storm, women from the congregation gather under canopies in the church parking lot, cooking and providing cool drinks as the men work to clear away debris. Despite the damage, worshippers aren’t angry, Dingle said.
“That’s God’s work. And if we were to sit here and say we were angry after God has been so good to us? Oh no,” she said.
Religious communities are well prepared to withstand disasters, largely because they are well organized, said Nancy Ammerman, a professor at Boston University who studies American congregations.
Churches also are working across sectarian lines. The two churches in Askewville, N.C., a tiny town particularly hard hit by the storm, were polite but divergent on theology in good times, but have been united since the storm hit, throwing their doors open to each other and anyone else in need.
The Pentecostal members of the Askewville Assembly of God Church call the pastor at the Askewville Baptist Church “Brother David,” and he in turn describes the atmosphere in town as, despite everything, joyous.
After the storm hit, every building in Askewville lost power except a gymnasium, which both churches quickly turned into an emergency community kitchen, said the Rev. Roy Denton, the Pentecostal pastor. The two churches have been working on relief efforts ever since, using each other’s buildings to coordinate volunteers and distribute supplies.
In Deltaville, Zoar Baptist Church is bringing people together in a different way, a week after the brick sanctuary broke apart while the Rev. John Snow and his wife huddled inside.
They were unharmed, but had to dramatically change the church’s Easter plans. It will have a beachside service this year, under the pine trees at Stingray Point. The pancake breakfast that had been planned for Sunday morning will become a tailgate meal.
And they’re preparing for more worshippers. Several other churches in Middlesex County are canceling their own sunrise services to join Zoar in a show of support. The church has seen more than 200 Easters, but Snow said this one may be its biggest ever.

You spend your life hearing from your Apple fanboy friends that their Macs are so much secure than your Windows PC. Then, out of nowhere, a software analyst on Twitter comes along highlights the most basic security flaw. That’s what’s happening with MacOS Sierra.
Apple being Apple meant it didn’t take long before an official patch was released, but for one glorious day, all those Apple fanboys were fiddling around with unofficial fixes and flapping about the security of their glorious Macs. Let’s have a look at the whole saga in a bit more detail.
Our Softonic Solutions users are talking about The 35 best MacOS apps. Join the conversation now!
Lemi Orhan Ergin, a software craftsman and analyst, highlights on Twitter a “*HUGE*” security issue that, he says, affects all Macs running MacOS Sierra. The vulnerability allows people to log into any Mac by entering root into the username, leaving the password blank and clicking login several times.
Other Twitter users give it a try and shriek in horror as this massive hole in their Mac’s security checks out.
The panic sets in at the new Apple HQ, so they get all customer service and send the most generic response ever. Behind the scenes, however, the “geniuses” are at work, and it doesn’t take them long to come up with a plan of action to calm their darling fanboys.
It doesn’t take Apple long to come up with the most common sense solution to the problem. If somebody can log in to the Mac via the root account without entering a password, all users have to do is change the password for the root account. Before long, sites like 9to5mac are running detailed tutorials on how to change the password of the root account.
This is why you have to give it to Apple. Less than 24 hours after this huge flaw in Mac security was released on Twitter, they had an official patch ready for release that closed up the potential breach. It was a pretty huge flaw to begin with, but the =efficiency with which they dealt with the issue is commendable. This Windows user isn’t quite ready to call them geniuses just yet, but he gives credit where it is due and Apple deserves a bit on this one.
The patch isn’t an OTA update, however, so if you haven’t already updated your Mac, you can download the file here or follow Apple’s instructions here.
Where were you when the root security vulnerability was discovered?Did you fret over the vulnerability of your Macbook Air as you worked on that freelance project while sipping on a skinny Christmasccino down at the Starbucks? Or did you keep the faith in your genius overlords? Let us know in the comments below if you think this whole debacle has shaken your faith in Apple or strengthened it.
If you’re a Windows user and you were impressed by how quickly Apple solved this problem, you might want to check out Questions to ask when switching from Windows to Mac.

Disclosure: AT&T pays me a salary, but these thoughts are all mine. If anyone has a problem, it's my nick at my nick dot com. I also am writing this quickly, I will expand this on my Google+ post.
I decided to do a blog post today because a tweet is not enough to get it out.
When I decided to get into the workforce, it wasn't by my choice. My mother told me I needed to get a job because, well, I don't know why for sure. I would only assume that my mother wanted me to learn that the real world doesn't care about attempts, only results.
I'm reminded of that again when I read articles about the annual Consumer Reports wireless carrier survey results. AT&T gets rated last again, year after year, by the most non-scientific survey ever.
True surveys, by statistical and scientific standards, try to take a sample as broad, random, and unbiased as possible. This is to prevent skewed result towards one answer or another, and is accepted by most disciplines as the proper way to conduct surveys.
I'm not upset with the position that one company has over another, I'm upset with the methodology that Consumer Reports uses in order to conduct its surveys. The biggest issue I have is the fact that they only allow subscribers to take part in the survey. I can believe that Consumer Reports is using the ability to take the survey as a carrot for purchasing the magazine, but this mindset allows for people to use this platform to "hang" companies they don't like.
I have people that I know on a personal level that can't wait until the summertime to get their Consumer Reports survey for wireless carriers. I know two people that subscribe to the magazine just to bash another carrier I am not involved with. I cannot condone this behavior by Consumer Reports anymore.
I am asking Consumer Reports to consider going to a random sample for the surveys that they conduct, not just wireless, but all of them. I like their methodology for their product testing, and I am willing to consider their actual product reviews when I am shopping. I wish that Consumer Reports would take a more scientific approach when it comes to surveys in order to decrease the appearance of impropriety that always gets called out every year by everyone involved except for the winner.

The occasion for the FTC’s latest foray into the commercial speech debate has its roots in coffee beans. Actually green coffee bean extract (GCBE) to be precise, a supplement purported to have weight loss benefits. GCBE was being promoted as a “dieter’s secret weapon” by Lindsey Duncan, a nutritionist and self-proclaimed “naturopathic doctor” who owns two health supplement companies, Pure Health LLC and Genesis Today Inc., both of which sold GCBE. (For the record, Duncan has an online degree in naturopathy from a now defunct distance-learning college, so he is not an MD). Duncan’s GCBE marketing efforts included personal appearances on popular daytime television shows The Dr. Oz Show and The View, where he represented himself as a GCBE expert and publicly touted it as an amazing “new health discovery” that promoted rapid weight loss. Duncan made bold claims during his TV appearances; claims such as consumers could expect to lose “17 pounds and 16 percent body fat in just 12 weeks without diet or exercise” by using GCBE. And although he never specifically mentioned his own company’s products on TV, he capitalized on his relative fame by including “As seen on TV” claims on his web sites and in his GCBE point-of-sale displays.
The trouble, according to the FTC, was twofold: First, Duncan represented himself as an unbiased medical professional on these shows when he was not. Second, the weight loss claims he made on TV and elsewhere relied on a “severely flawed” and unreliable clinical study. The FTC filed suit against Duncan in US District Court in Texas, alleging that he misrepresented himself as an independent source of information about GCBE without disclosing his financial connection to the products he was promoting. The complaint also alleged that his express weight loss claims were unsubstantiated, not backed by credible evidence on which he had a reasonable basis to rely, and therefore deceptive.
Duncan and the FTC eventually reached a settlement, which imposed a permanent injunction against him making any future weight-loss claims without the support of at least two well-controlled human clinical tests. And, more significantly, he was required to pay $9 million in restitution to consumers who had relied on his deceptive claims when they purchased Pure Health and Genesis Today GCBE products.
What was easy to miss in the rush to brand Lindsey Duncan a charlatan however, was the fact that the FTC’s settlement was not without its fair share of controversy. Within the FTC itself there was significant disagreement about the terms of the settlement, and the rationale behind it. One of the main drivers behind the discord: the question of to what extent Lindsay Duncan engaged in commercial speech?
When it comes to speech being protected by the First Amendment, non-commercial speech gets the first-class treatment; while the commercial variety flies coach and can get bumped by government regulators like the FTC for the slightest provocation. More than enough ink has been spilt on the subject of why the speech distinction exists (both by myself and others with a lot more clout) but suffice to say, at this point, it is what it is.
In a four-page dissent to the stipulated order announcing the Duncan settlement, two of the FTC’s five commissioners, Maureen Ohlhausen and Joshua Wright disagreed with the majority decision. Ohlhausen and Wright specifically took issue with the amount of redress the Commission ordered. Their position: that the percentage of redress attributable to sales resulting from generic on-air claims about GCBE was improperly assessed because those claims were not commercial speech, placing them outside the sphere of the FTCs regulatory power.
They point out that speech regarding weight loss in general, and the efficacy of GCBE specifically, are issues of public concern; and that by demanding redress from Duncan for communications made by him and others on a news and talk show, the majority impermissibly expanded the definition of advertising to cover fully protected non-commercial speech.
To support their conclusion Ohlhausen and Wright point out that Duncan only discussed the benefits of GCBE generally, and never made any statements about specific brands or products sold by his company. In fact, it would have been against the show’s rules to do so. And while sales for Duncan’s GCBE products did spike after his appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, similar spikes were observed on multiple subsequent occasions when the health benefits of GCBE were discussed on the show. In other words, general awareness of the purported health benefits of GCBE, not Lindsey Duncan’s GCBE products specifically, led to the increase in customer interest.
In effect the dissent is saying that when a company stakeholder appears on television in a news and information setting to promote positive news in an industry in which they operate—whether it’s an airline CEO touting improved airline safety records, or a telecom exec lauding Internet availability in undeserved communities—she does so under the full protection of the First Amendment because she is not engaging in commercial speech.
To support this conclusion, the dissent points out that none of the classic commercial speech factors were present in this case. Duncan did not propose a commercial transaction while on the show. He did not mention any price points while on the show. And he did not pay a fee to appear on the show. He was an invited guest who appeared as an expert at the behest of Dr. Oz himself. As the dissent sees it, holding Duncan responsible for redressing pecuniary loss stemming from his protected speech is tantamount to suppressing free speech, and is a dangerous overreach of the agency’s authority. Their fear is that by increasing the redress amount that Duncan must pay as a result, the majority’s decision will lead to qualified health and nutrition experts declining television appearances for fear that they may not be able to substantiate their opinions.
Duncan may have been guilty of deception, in other words, but not to the tune of $9 million dollars.
It’s tempting to take a narrow view of the Duncan case and assume its consequences are limited to on-air endorsements of health supplements. But it would be a mistake not to consider the possible broader implications the FTC’s disagreement will have for advertisers.
This stipulated order and dissenting opinion come at a time when advertisers have fallen in love with cause, content and native marketing; all terms for advertising that doesn’t want to be treated like advertising (and tries very hard not to be). While these kinds of tactics are different from what Lindsey Duncan was doing to promote GCBE, they do touch on some of the same questions, namely: is it protected First Amendment speech, advertising, or something in between? When Whole Foods sponsors a study on sustainable farming practices that it publishes on social media; or when Vitamin Shoppe contributes to an editorial piece on the lack of vitamin D in the average American diet, what kind of regulations are those communications subject to?
It’s a question the marketing community can expect some answers to soon. At the Association of National Advertiser’s (ANA) annual conference this year, Laura Sullivan, a Staff Attorney in the FTC’s Division of Advertising Practices told an audience of marketing and compliance professionals that the FTC is concerned about the widespread practice of disseminating ads designed to look like editorial and independently-sourced content, and that they will likely issue guidance later this year. If that’s true, and content marketing guidelines are in the pipeline for 2015, it will be interesting to see what if any effect the commercial speech schism that the Duncan case has exposed at the top of the FTC has on the Commission’s official position on the subject.
Clearly as the nature of advertising continues to evolve, the pressure is on the FTC to carefully balance First Amendment concerns with its mandate to protect consumers from deceptive advertising claims. How it plans to do that exactly as it struggles, right along with the rest of us, on the commercial speech question, remains to be seen.

There’s nothing new about knitting clubs. Groups of women and men have formed over the last century—and continue today—to enjoy fellowship, to hone their craft, and even to express their patriotism.
This has never been truer than during times of war. Dating over 100 years ago during World War I, “knitting circles” sprang up across Britain, Canada, and the USA to stitch a unique contribution to the war effort.
The Salvation Army was in the forefront of hosting such groups, a movement that peaked during World War II, especially in the United Kingdom.
The May 3, 1941 edition of The Times (London) reported that 73,000 garments to date had been produced by Salvation Army knitting circles, of which there seemed to be “one in every town.” One Salvation Army knitting club (not identified specifically by the article), however, had an additional distinction—making it an iRony of note.
Knitting circles sprang up as much for morale as for practical purposes. Only music rivaled knitting as a pastime to boost spirits both at home and abroad during both World Wars.
Parents, spouses, and even children found knitting as a constructive and practical way to connect to their loved ones who were “in the fight” far away from home.
As soon as hostilities began in September 1939, knitters who had busied themselves during “the war to end all wars” once again armed themselves with needles—not as weapons, but as instruments of compassion. This time, they were joined literally by thousands more knitters, beginners and amateurs.
In his book Crown Of Glory, Crown Of Thorns, General Shaw Clifton cites a report from All The World (April-June 1942) that “by mid-1942 a million articles of knitted clothing had been handled” in the war effort.
Gifts came from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, West Indies, and India.
Knitters plied their yarn not only for their military folk, but also for others who seldom heard from home at all. Even young schoolgirls knitted mittens, helmets, socks, and scarves for those close to the fighting.
But it didn’t stop at the front lines—many knitted for orphans and destitute families that had been bombed out or had lost family members in battle. Special depots were established to receive and forward the knitted garments for distribution in the UK and overseas.
Beginner knitters made mufflers. Schoolkids made simple 9” squares that would later be sewn together into blankets.
Even those who couldn’t get the hang of “purling” could make simple bandages—15’-20’ lengths joined together in garter stitch with 100% cotton yarn.
Finally, this was a ministry to one’s self as well—knitters confined to an underground shelter during air-raids were often seen stitching away to keep their minds off of the deadly blitzkrieg above.
That one Salvation Army knitting circle unique from all the rest? Well, it’s not uncommon to hear of a blind man or woman who, with a sensitive skill in their fingers have mastered the art.
What you might find iRonic, however, is an entire circle of blind knitters bonded together for the expressed purpose of doing their part—freeing up precious resources needed elsewhere.

A couple of days after Nepal's crown prince gunned down several members of the royal family — including his parents — in a drunken rage before shooting himself, an American friend phoned me at my California home. "Isn't that a shame," she exclaimed. "It never would have happened if the king and queen hadn't been pushing that poor guy towards an arranged marrige. What a barbaric custom!"
Obviously, the incident had struck a chord with American readers. Perhaps it was because the story had all the ingredients of a modern day Romeo-and-Juliet tale: a passionate prince; his beautiful sweetheart who is considered unworthy by his family: the authoritarian parents who threaten to disown their son should he go against their wishes and marry the person he loves. People in Nepal might still be wondering if other causes might be responsible for the crime. But, in the United States, popular opinion seems quite clear on the matter: it is all the fault of that antiquated, tyrannical institution, the arranged marrige.

Backing up to Friday, the day was good. Lots of walking as we took Zach to the zoo Friday morning. Then I did my Zumba while he napped Friday afternoon. Then… we waited a bit too long to get dinner started Friday night. We were going to grill some reduced-fat Bubba burgers – yum! Alas… the grill was out of gas. Now, it’s late. We’re hungry. Nothing else is ready to make! These are the times when we waver… and that’s exactly what happened. We ended up going to Taco Cabana for dinner.
Considering where we were, I actually did ok. I just got 2 tacos (5 pts each) with a small side of chips and queso. I did not blow all my points for the week (and I’m not even eating my exercise points), so not all was lost, by any means. Actually, as far as indulging goes, I think that’s exactly how it should be done. Occasionally indulge and practice portion control.
Saturday, other than the fact that I didn’t exercise when I had planned to, was right back to plan. Stayed within my daily points target and ate healthy.
So, the good news? I slept horrible last night and woke up feeling very sluggish and just blech this morning. Why is this good news, you ask? Because my body told me what I already know – eating like that makes me feel horrible! My body does not like it and other than great results on the scale, there isn’t much else to motivate me to eat healthy!
I have zero desire to eat anything crappy today, because I don’t want to feel like this. I seriously can’t believe I used to eat like this almost every day, giving absolutely no thought to what I was putting in my mouth in relation to how my body would feel.

The Texas State Bison Herd roams the prairie at Caprock Canyons with a heritage that echoes across the Plains.
The mission was this: Find the last remaining native wild bison in Texas.
For decades, the herd had been roaming the Panhandle’s sprawling JA Ranch after a handful of its ancestors were set aside by legendary rancher Charles Goodnight during the great slaughter of the late 1800s. The herd had a place in history: The Goodnight/JA herd played a key role in the recovery of bison from the brink of extinction, and the animals were believed to be the last remnants of the great southern plains bison herd.
In 1994, the state was considering taking over the herd, and then-Texas Parks and Wildlife Executive Director Andrew Sansom wanted to see what he might be getting into. Problem was, the JA Ranch, which once covered more than a million acres, wasn’t exactly sure where the bison were.
That day in the Panhandle, the bison thundered across the plains just as bison had done for generations in great herds across the continent as the keystone species of the prairie.
TPWD decided those animals were worth protecting, and the JA Ranch donated them to the state in 1996. Those Panhandle bison became the Texas State Bison Herd, living at Caprock Canyons State Park.
Now the 79-animal herd is undergoing dramatic changes. The state park has more than doubled the amount of territory devoted to the animals — a welcome development for the bison and a development that will allow visitors greater opportunities to see the animals. And, a breeding project undertaken to bring more genetic diversity to the herd and ensure its survival is reaching a crucial stage in its development.
From his seat in the plane, Sansom saw what we all see in bison: an icon of the West, America’s largest land mammal, a symbol of near-extinction and recovery, a relic from a time of wide-open spaces and a reminder of a time when America was full of great, wild creatures.
In North America’s history, there’s been perhaps no more important wildlife species than the bison. And Goodnight’s herd was once one of America’s best-known bison herds.
Members of the Panhandle herd and their ancestors are part of the larger story of all North American bison, commonly called buffalo. However, their historical affiliations, their connection to Texas and their genetic makeup set them apart from other U.S. herds.
Survival of bison was on Goodnight’s mind when he captured a couple of bison calves in 1878 at the urging of his wife, Mary. The bison slaughter had wiped out the great Texas herds, and Mary Goodnight, saddened by the killing of the animals, wanted her husband to save a few before they were gone.
“He thought bison were interesting, but I think Mary was the passion, the heart and soul, behind the need to save those animals,” says Vicki Sybert, interpretive specialist for TPWD in Lubbock and Goodnight herd historian.
Just two years before, in 1876, Goodnight had driven a herd of cattle down into Palo Duro Canyon to establish what would become the JA Ranch with partner John Adair.
Goodnight had to shoo thousands of bison out of the canyon to make room for his cattle. By 1878, he no longer had to chase the bison off. The buffalo hunters had taken care of that.
Goodnight was an iconic Texas figure. He established the Goodnight-Loving cattle trail and was a pioneer in cattle breeding. He invented the chuck wagon. In establishing the JA Ranch, he became the Panhandle’s first rancher.
And he was a pioneer in bison conservation. After roping those first calves and acquiring a few others, he set about raising a bison herd in addition to his cattle operation. His initial herd of five to seven animals grew to 13 animals by 1887 and reached a peak of more than 200 animals in the 1920s.
The timely formation of Goodnight’s herd and the formation of four other private herds, along with government protection of a wild herd at Yellowstone National Park, saved the species from extinction. Those few herds provided the founding stock that produced nearly all plains bison in existence today.
Goodnight donated or sold bison to several early bison conservation efforts, such as those at Yellowstone, the National Bison Range and Canada’s national parks. He sold animals to numerous other parks, private individuals and zoos, including “Buffalo Bill” Cody and the New York Zoological Park, which was instrumental in establishing the first U.S. bison preserves.
Goodnight’s efforts also ensured preservation of animals from Texas and the vast southern plains bison herd, which covered Texas, Oklahoma and part of Kansas and was split from the northern herd by the transcontinental railroad in the mid-1800s. Most U.S. herds have been mixed and moved, but Goodnight’s has stayed on its original range.
Goodnight left the JA Ranch in 1887 and established his own ranch near the JA. Goodnight died in 1929, and he wanted the state to take over his ranch and bison herd.
Everything seemed to be moving toward state ownership of the herd: The state game commission supported the purchase and had the money to buy the animals, and the Texas Legislature gave the game commission authorization to buy the herd, provided that a suitable home could be found. It never happened.
Goodnight’s ranch — and his bison herd — changed hands several times. Efforts to kill the herd in a “last great buffalo hunt” were halted after public outcry. The bison occasionally escaped into Palo Duro Canyon, and they eventually were allowed to stay on the JA Ranch, where they remained for decades in relative obscurity.
Things started to change in 1994 when TPWD received an urgent and unexpected message from Germany.
German conservationist Wolfgang Frey, who had an interest in American bison, thought the JA herd might represent one of the last “pure” bison herds in the United States.
Frey’s urgings piqued the interest of TPWD officials, but it wasn’t until months later, when the owners of the JA Ranch approached them and started talks about the herd, that “it suddenly became a really exciting project,” says Sansom, who is coming out with a book on southern plains bison and the Caprock herd with photographer Wyman Meinzer.
The JA owners agreed to donate this distinct and historic herd to TPWD, and the agreement set in motion one of the largest and most complex projects undertaken by the department.
Just how do you capture and transport a few dozen wild bison? The department hadn’t done anything like this before. Capture and relocation efforts began in 1997 after Caprock Canyons was selected as the site for the herd. Capture pens were built on the JA Ranch, and, simultaneously, a 320-acre enclosure at Caprock was fenced. In often cold, harsh conditions over three months in the winter of 1997-98, the wild bison were darted, rolled onto metal skids, loaded onto trailers, taken to the JA pens, assessed and then taken to Caprock Canyons. The State of Texas was now the proud owner of a 36-head bison herd.
The recovery of bison from the brink of extinction is one of the best-known conservation stories. More than 450,000 plains bison exist in North America, a remarkable comeback from a low of a few hundred animals in the late 1800s. But the fate of the wild bison is far from secure. Ninety-five percent of today’s bison are in commercial herds — meaning only 5 percent are in conservation herds, which are those managed by federal and state governments and conservation groups primarily for conservation purposes. Those in commercial herds are raised mainly for meat production, with pressures pushing them away from their wild origins.
For the Texas herd, genetic tests, in addition to confirming the herd’s unique DNA, uncovered something troubling. Researchers from Texas A&M University, led by James Derr of the College of Veterinary Medicine, found that the Texas herd had low genetic diversity and was suffering the effects of inbreeding. An A&M analysis revealed that the herd had a 99 percent chance of dying off in 50 years.
In 2003, TPWD brought in bulls from another herd to inject some genetic variability and ensure a more stable future. Three bison bulls were chosen from a New Mexico herd owned by media mogul Ted Turner, the largest single owner of American bison. Goodnight and Turner — in bison terms, this was a celebrity marriage.
But it wasn’t an easy decision. TPWD and A&M officials didn’t want to dilute the historical importance of the herd by bringing in outside genes. They didn’t want to see the herd die off, either.
TPWD and A&M officials sought outside bison that had high levels of genetic variation, were free of disease, had no evidence of cattle genes and, if possible, had some connection to the Goodnight herd. The Yellowstone herd was an ideal candidate — 100 years after Goodnight sent three bison to Yellowstone, three animals could return to the Goodnight herd — except that members of the Yellowstone herd are known to have brucellosis. TPWD officials found what they wanted with the Turner animals, which are partially derived from Yellowstone stock.
That’s what A&M researchers are currently trying to determine.
At Caprock Canyons, the bison now have more room to roam, with more than twice as much territory as before. The herd, which doubled in size under the watchful guidance of the Wildlife Division, was transferred to the State Parks Division last year to give the bison additional room and provide visitors a better chance to see the animals. Now the herd has 500 acres of new territory in addition to the more than 300 acres it already had. As time and money allow, the bison territory will be expanded to cover more of Caprock Canyons, which was once part of the JA Ranch. TPWD’s goal is to establish the herd in a natural ecosystem setting with other native animals and plants.
Donald Beard, Caprock Canyons superintendent, gave me a preview tour of the new bison habitat last fall. The original bison pasture at the park offered limited viewing opportunities, and Beard says the new territory will put the bison where the people are. “You are now in the bison territory,” Beard told me as we drove through the restored prairie at the front of the park. He says park staff will be vigilant about monitoring the bison and will take an active role in informing visitors about the animals.
We drove by Beard’s house, which is in the bison territory near Lake Theo. Lake Theo has its own piece of bison history. It’s the site of an ancient bison kill, where people butchered and processed bison thousands of years ago. At the lake, scientists have recovered bison bones and tools that are 10,000 years old.
C.L. Hawkins, a longtime Caprock Canyons employee, has been the main caretaker of the bison since they arrived from the JA, and he took me out into the original bison pasture in his pickup. The bison know it’s Hawkins coming, and they approach the pickup. Pretty soon, we’re surrounded by the Texas State Bison Herd. Hawkins’ appreciation for the animals is evident. To him, the cultural, historical and genetic significance of the animals makes them something to be treasured. “There are no other animals like this anywhere,” he says.
Hawkins then took me to the working pens, where TPWD staff rounds up the bison every December to vaccinate them and perform a health checkup. The designs of the chutes and pens were overseen by Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin, who uses her experiences with autism to guide her designs of stress-reducing animal handling facilities and who was the subject of the 2010 Texas-filmed, Emmy-winning HBO movie Temple Grandin.
In December, the grandchildren of the Turner bulls were rounded up for the first time for evaluation, and TPWD officials and A&M researchers are eager to see what the genetic results will show.
In the meantime, members of the herd will be exploring their new home on the prairie at Caprock Canyons, where Texans will have more opportunities to see and appreciate them — a herd that represents all that’s left from the great thundering herds of the southern plains, a herd that’s a living reminder of a Texas gone by.

View more >When most children read narrative texts they actively utilise cognitive resources to comprehend by constructing appropriate mental models of story events. However, many children with poor comprehension experience difficulties due to an inability to appropriately direct attention and to effectively use the resources of working memory. As a result, their ability to construct integrated mental models of story content may be impaired. However, their reading comprehension performance can be improved when they are taught inferential reading comprehension strategies involving both verbal and visual processes to facilitate more elaborated mental modeling of narrative texts. This article discusses how such strategies can be implemented and consolidated using a metacognitive focus within a flexible multiple-strategy framework.

To paraphrase the great Ingrid Kristiansen, nutrition needn’t be complicated. Follow these seven simple rules and say hello to a fitter, faster, healthier you.
Devise a sensible eating plan that you can stick to, which will suit your lifestyle. Don’t set yourself unreasonable targets for food consumption. Unless you’re seriously overweight, it’s unlikely that your diet will need to undergo drastic restructuring.
Start by analysing what you are eating now. Keep a food diary for a week. Then sit down with a pen and paper and ask yourself some questions about your dietary habits. Do you have breakfast? Do you feel tired and hungry by the time you run in the evening? If your diet is repetitive and boring you may not be getting the variety of foods necessary for adequate nutrient intake.
Frequent snacking throughout the day is a sure way to avoid low blood sugar levels and tiredness by the time you get home for your run. Research shows that eating little and often is best for runners… as long as you’re eating the right things.
Make a point of taking healthy snacks to work with you so that you aren’t caught out. Avoid high-fat snacks such as crisps and chocolate, opting instead for snacks combining a healthy dose of protein and carbohydrate, which make the best fuel. Fruit, especially bananas with nut butters, a handful of nuts, plain popcorn, low-fat crispbreads and natural yoghurt are all excellent choices.
Regular sensible snacking is important, but proper meals are where good runner nutrition really counts. Pasta is the runner’s classic favourite, but there are plenty of other excellent high-carbohydrate foods, such as brown rice, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans and pulses and quinoa. Still, beware, some high-carbohydrate foods are also high in fat. Lasagne, thin-crust pizza, croissants and granola are some of the worst culprits.
Instead of spending a small fortune on pills and potions to supplement your diet, try to ensure that you get the vitamins and minerals you need from the food you eat.
It’s a big mistake to think that a supplement will completely satisfy your nutritional needs. Taking a pill might give you the recommended daily amount of a particular vitamin, but you also need protein, minerals, fibre and energy in the form of calories, which no pill will provide.
You’re probably well versed in the idea of carbo-loading, but there are still a few tricks of the trade that can help you to race at your best. Firstly, don’t overeat late the night before as this will make sleep harder to come by. Secondly, don’t think of that final plate of pasta on the eve of the race as your last meal. Your body will use up some of that food energy overnight, so make sure you have breakfast. Former European 5000m and 10,000m champion Sonia O’Sullivan chooses bread or cereal, coffee, perhaps a banana and lots of water, but the carbohydrate combination you opt for is up to you. Just cut right down on fat and protein, which take a long time to digest. Coffee is fine if it’s part of your normal routine – just be sure to drink plenty of water along with it.
Lengthy races – 10km and longer – often have Drinks Stations to replace lost fluids, and if you are running a marathon they will help you to scale the dreaded ‘wall’. Drinking on the run is an important element of technique and one you will need to practise prior to your race. Before you start the race, find out whether the Drinks Stations are providing water, or carbohydrate drinks as well. If you plan to use a carbo drink, be sure that you’ve tested it in practice runs. As you approach the station look right; most runners prefer to veer left to collect their drink, so the other side is often less crowded. Grab the bottle with one hand and don’t be afraid to stop and walk – a few seconds spent drinking properly will easily pay off in terms of performance.
Immediately after a race or a hard run it’s important to refuel your body with protein and carbohydrates to restore your glycogen and repair the muscles. The first four hours after strenuous exercise are a crucial time for taking on new glycogen to replace what you’ve lost while working hard.

As a parent, you are always trying to find ways to reinforce those tricky math skills. Making math fun is one of the best ways to help kids learn these skills, and incorporating these skills into daily life is a way for them to practice these skills without even realizing it. Baking is a fun activity you can enjoy with your children, as is also allows you to practice important math concepts at the same time. To find out more, here are some tips on how to incorporate math lessons into baking so you can make the most of your cooking time together!
1. Get out the measuring utensils.
Before you begin, get out the measuring utensils such as measuring cups, measuring spoons, a scale if needed, a candy thermometer if necessary, and other measuring devices. Knowing how to use and read off these devices is so important, and now is the perfect time to put them to use in a way that is fun.
2. Point out units of measurement.
When unpacking ingredients, point out the units of measurement on the package. Dried goods are often measured in grams or ounces, while liquids are also measured in ounces. Point out the measurements on the packaging so kids can see what they look like and where to look for them.
3. Read recipe cards together.
Look at written recipes together and point out the measurements. Talk about why it is so important that these measurements are followed and about what would happen if they weren’t. Knowing math ensures a correct result when the recipe is completed, so make sure you discuss how important math is to the outcome.
4. Talk about sequential order.
Following a recipe requires moving in sequential order which is a math skill. Point out how the tasks are numbered and it is important to go in order to achieve the perfect result. You never want to skip a portion of the direction or jump ahead, so being able to number the steps and follow them in order is important.
It is important to read temperature when cooking and baking. Find the required cooking temperature in the recipe. Set the oven together so you can see what that temperature looks like. If using a candy thermometer to make sweets, this is the perfect time to practice reading temperature as well.
6. Practice time telling skills.
Once your recipe is done, you still need to watch the time to make sure it bakes long enough. Practice those time telling skills so you can make sure the recipe doesn’t come out undone or burnt. Practice setting a timer, reading the oven clock, and other time-telling skills as you prepare to bake your item.
7. Last but not least, allow kids to be hands on.
Whether they are measuring flour or oil or setting a timer, allow for kids to be hands on in the preparations. This will help them best put these skills to use and get some real life practice.
As you can see, teaching math while baking or cooking can be fun and easy. Give these ideas for implementing math into baking a try and see what results you can achieve!
Teach fractions by measuring out the cup of flour with the quarter cup measure. Dump 4 quarter cups into the one cup measure. Voila! The quarter cup is one of 4 parts – that’s why we write it it 1 over 4.

Matt Federoff is director of technology for the Vail (Ariz.) School District.
If you got to start from scratch one day, what would you do? I know every IT professional has asked himself this question at one time or another. “If I had to build a whole new network,” or “If I could throw out all our workstations and buy new ones,” the thoughts start. Typically, it’s just a pipe dream.
But a few years back, I had just such an opportunity. Vail is a rapidly growing community on the southern edge of Tucson, Ariz. As such, it builds schools at a furious rate. It’s a logistical challenge, but also a chance to explore new possibilities.
Back in 2004, we had a new high school on the drawing board. We had the usual mix of architects, community members and administrators all trying to figure out how to make it “special.” Quite honestly, we weren’t having much success. At the same time, I had been following the various one-to-one initiatives across the country. With a year to plan and prepare, we decided to build a notebook high school, and we got to start from scratch.
Now, you may be tempted to dismiss this as an esoteric “boutique” project. Perhaps you work at an existing facility and thus think there is nothing you can learn from my experience. But in the three years our school has been open, we’ve learned lessons applicable to all schools.
Empire High School is a public school, grades 9–12. We built it with tax dollars. There are no special requirements to get in. What’s different is that there are no textbooks. That single detail has a profound effect on the school. It is also utterly dependent on pervasive and reliable wireless technology to make it possible.
We have secure wireless coverage over every inch of the campus, including all the common areas and athletic fields. We added extra electrical outlets to every classroom and out in common areas so students can plug in whenever possible.
After three years, here’s what we’ve learned: Keeping notebooks running all day is possible, without providing extra batteries. We teach the students best practices for conserving power and put the responsibility on them to make sure their computers remain powered all day. Onsite support and repair is essential, as we’ve experienced failure and breakage at a rate of nearly 10 percent. Having a supply of loaner notebooks is necessary; keeping students running when their computers aren’t is critical when notebooks are the primary delivery medium for content.
Teachers choose content based upon state standards, using both free and paid content from multiple providers. This laserlike focus on standards is a tipping point to real transformation in education. And it’s only possible with technology that can deliver rich content, aligned to those standards, to any student at any given moment. This is probably the most important discovery we’ve made, and it’s a lesson that is applicable regardless of school or situation.
Standards-aligned content delivered to every student at any moment wherever they happen to be is a place that any district can go, and that’s never been possible before. So let’s all start from scratch and reimagine what’s possible.
You don’t have to run a notebook program for long before facing the issue of computer repairs. Most schools leave this responsibility with the vendor, but one school in Baton Rouge, La., St. Joseph’s Academy, takes a do- it-yourself approach.
This school operates its own onsite warranty shop, completing all computer hardware maintenance internally. The school ensures that each of the 25 to 30 students working there obtain necessary certifications.

LIBBY, Montana – Mesothelioma attorneys from the nationally-acclaimed asbestos litigation firm Levy Konigsberg LLP continue to help MT residents who developed an asbestos-caused disease, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, or asbestosis, obtain justice and compensation that they deserve.
Montanans may live in the Treasure State, but good fortune has eluded many Libby, Montana citizens over the past century as its infamous vermiculite mines plagued residents and miners alike with startling rates of mesothelioma. With an age adjusted death rate of 56.1 per million population, Lincoln County stands third in the nation for mesothelioma mortality, a sickening trend that gained its momentum as far back as 1919 when companies setup shop in the small town and began extracting asbestos-containing vermiculite from the earth.
Originally appearing as a godsend through the number of jobs they created, these vermiculite mines and the corporations that exploited them hid a hazardous secret from men and women who were exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. Whether it was the miner gathering the vermiculite or his daughter playing in a schoolyard nearby, invisible asbestos dust makes no distinction between worker and bystander, with Libby constituting another piece of evidence in support of this tragedy.
Vermiculite, known commercially as Zonolite, is an asbestos-containing mineral that could be found predominately in construction insulation due to its light weight and resistance to fire. From 1940 to 1980, Zonolite insulated tens of millions of homes and businesses in America. The story of Libby commenced well before this, however, when E.N. Alley purchased the mines in the early 1900s and founded the Zonolite Company. In 1963, W.R. Grace and Company purchased the Zonolite business from Alley, even though employees of the company had been experiencing lung problems, some even dying from the condition. At its peak, W.R. Grace produced roughly 80 percent of the world’s supply of vermiculite, a racket that ceased in 1990 amid reports of asbestos contamination. It has been revealed, however, that executives of W.R. Grace and Company were aware of the presence of tremolite asbestos dust in the town’s mines when they acquired them nearly three decades prior, ultimately leading to some of the largest asbestos lawsuits in our nation’s history. These lawsuits were brought by those stricken with an asbestos-related disease with the help of Montana mesothelioma attorneys.
The negligence of these executives led to the deaths of approximately 200 Libby workers and residents, while roughly 2,000 more continue to suffer from asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma. These statistics reveal that approximately half the population of Libby has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease. While miners employed by the company experienced their exposures onsite, residents of the town often were exposed when W.R. Grace would illegally dump asbestos-containing debris around the area.
The Environmental Protection Agency ultimately stepped in and deemed Libby one of its Superfund sites in need of contamination removal. While the EPA had removed 900,000 cubic yards of asbestos-containing material from the town as of 2010, it admits that cleanup must continue and that some asbestos contamination may always remain due to the voluminous amounts that have plagued Libby throughout history.
Nonetheless, W.R. Grace facilities outside of Libby were in receipt of vermiculite from the rural town in order for the mineral to be processed. In addition to insulation, the company used vermiculite in many of its products including adhesives, cements, planting soil additives, plaster, and various forms of compounds. Such processing facilities included the company’s Glendale, California location, where more than 120,000 tons of the harmful vermiculite was transported. Additionally, W.R. Grace’s Phoenix, Arizona location processed approximately 204,000 tons of vermiculite from 1971 to 1992. In all, W.R. Grace shipped vermiculite to 244 sites across the United States.
Unfortunately, the vermiculite mines in Libby were not the only source of asbestos exposure for Montana residents. The Anaconda Copper Mill, which operated from the late 1800s until 1977 as the main mill of the Anaconda Copper Company, was also riddled with asbestos. Since asbestos is a fire retardant, many locations where high heat processes take place use the material within their insulation. Workers who repaired or manipulated the asbestos-containing insulation, however, would not have realized they were being exposed to hazardous fibers since the dust itself is almost always invisible, and also because mesothelioma embodies a lengthy latency period of approximately 20 to 50 years, with a majority of cases developing near the latter. Since asbestos doubles as a resistant to electrical current, many power plants, including a handful in Montana, have been identified as exposure worksites.
If you or someone you know has been employed at any of the worksites listed below, even if their tenure dates back decades, they may have been exposed to asbestos and could be at risk of developing asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma.
Figure 1. Map of the most common asbestos exposure worksites in the State of Montana.
If you or your loved one are a MT resident or were exposed to asbestos in Montana, and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, please call 1-800-637-6529 or contact us electronically through this website to receive a FREE consultation with experienced mesothelioma attorneys at Levy Konigsberg LLP.

Luis Garcia will certainly be the most interesting low minors decision here. He is seen as a relatively polished prospect (unlike Jhailyn Ortiz). So I think they give him a shot at Lakewood and Guzman probably backs him up and plays some 2B and 3B. Not ideal for Guzman, but the starting reps really should go to the better prospect.
This are the players who are at least marginal prospects.
I expect Guzman, Gonzalez, etc. to be in XST and Williamsport, none did enough to go to Lakewood at 19.
Bohm will probably start at Lakewood and finish at Clearwater.
2020 Reading/Lehigh and hopefully Philly in 2021.
Really weak at the top of the system, numbers below due to LA signings.
Gift Ngoepe as the veteran 3B spare at Allentown is pathetic. He can't hit a lick. Walding is worthless at 1B. I would focus on trying to improve Walding's D at 3B.
Doubtful a Torres can jump to Lakewood. Gonzalez is a level ahead of him in the system even if he struggled at Williamsport and he is considered the better prospect. He is not a sure thing for Lakewood, but has a better shot depending on his winter.
Wow, if anything ever showed why we need to get FA's this is it. There is no help coming anytime soon from the infielders.
I think the Phils will try to sign a AAAA first baseman who can actually hit at the end of spring training when some of those kind of players are released, or do a AAAA for AAAA player swap for one. As Allentown said, Walding would be much more helpful as a 3B and should be working on his defense at AAA.
Any chance of Cozens at 1B? Certainly DH.
We are assuming that Austin Listi is an outfielder? He'll certainly be on either the Reading or Lehigh Valley roster.
Phils did re-sign Matt McBride too. He might get a bunch of games at 1B.
I think Cozens has no chance absent injury or significant trades to stick with the MLB club.

This program is not accepting new applicants at this time.
Our Program provides training and research on the identification, characterization and control of chemical, physical, psychosocial and biological risks associated with work environments as well as in understanding and developing respect for the complex social, political and economic context in which environmental and occupational health problems must be studies and addressed. Our model of research and education integrates a rigorous scientific methodology with practical collaboration with the region's industry, labor, communities and governments to design safer and cleaner systems of production.
Graduates of the Master of Science program will be prepared to become prevention practitioners in one of two work environment options (occupational and environmental hygiene [OEH] or occupational ergonomics/safety [OES]). A dual option master's degree that combines these two options is also possible by completing all required courses for both options.
Technical Competence: Demonstrate a high level of technical and scientific competence in the application of the fundamentals of recognition, evaluation, control and prevention of occupational and environmental hazards.
Analytic Competence: Demonstrate the ability to solve complex problems through observation, literature review, measurement and data analysis.
Effective Communication: Utilize effective oral and written communications to interact with technical and lay audiences around occupational and environmental health issues.
Effective Teamwork: Work independently and as part of an occupational and environmental health team to address complex problems in occupational and environmental health.
Ethical Practice: Understand the moral, ethical, legal and professional responsibilities for the protection of occupational and environmental health and integrate an awareness of social and global issues into practice.
Life long Learning: Understand the need to engage in life-long learning and undertake appropriate activities to address this need, including professional advancement leading to professional certification.
An application completed online at the Graduate Admissions page.
Transcripts from a completed BA or BS degree in any field, or senior-year status, with an overall GPS of at least 3.0. Students who are successful in the Work Environment program typically have degrees in science, health science or engineering.
Grades of C or better in required, prerequisite college-level courses. At least one year of college-level math and science (statistics, human physiology or anatomy, organic chemistry and physics highly recommended).
Three letter of recommendation of individuals able to judge an applicant's readiness for graduate study.
A statement of purpose, typically a 1-2 page document providing information about the applican's future plans, a description of how th MS degree fits into these plans an evidence of an applicant's readiness for graduate study.
GRE scores. The GRE requirement may be waived with a prior graduate degree or with successful completion of a College of Health Science certificate or completion of 4 required graduate courses with a GPA of >or = 3.3 (B+).
Transcripts from college outside the United States must be certified by a credentialing agency such as WES or CED. To receive prerequisite credit for undergraduate courses in statistics, biology or anatomy and physiology, the document must be a course-by-course certification, not simply a general summary evaluation of a degree program.
For UMass Lowell undergraduate degree students to continue their studies towards an advanced degree. Please see the Accelerated Bachelor's-Master's Program for details.
For Keene State undergraduate degree students to continue their studies towards an advanced degree. We have an articulation agreement with Keene State. Please see the Accelerated Bachelor's-Master's Program for details.
With your master's degree in OEH, you'll have the tools to no only keep people healthy, but also productive at work. You'll learn to diagnose exposure problems, develop sampling strategies, and collect and measure samples to diagnose environmental risk factors that threaten worker health and safety. You'll also study how to design and implement more sustainable production systems.
With this degree you'll prepare for a career recognizing, evaluating and controlling the hazards that result from a poor fit between the worker and the workplace. You'll develop an understanding of human anatomy, physiology and psychology, as well as industrial hygiene and epidemiology, manufacturing technology and work organization. With this knowledge, you'll be able to create processes that optimize skill utilization and learning, and physiological an psychological well-being.
Curriculum Plan - Occupational Ergonomics and Safety (OES).
A dual option master's degree that combines these two options is also possible by completing all required courses for both options. This dual option will require a total of 39 credits with no electives. Other dual options are available by combining Occupational and Environmental Hygiene or Occupational Ergonomics and Safety with Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology, Cleaner Production/Pollution Prevention or Work Environment Policy.
Curriculum Plan - Dual Option in Occupational and Environmental Hygiene and Occupational Ergonomics and Safety.

Noticed this on BBC news. It's interesting that the Peruvian civilization is this old. 3000-1800 B.C covers roughly the Old Kingdom and the First Intermediate Period in Egypt.
An ancient civilisation was flourishing in Peru over 5,000 years ago, making it the oldest known complex society in the Americas, Nature magazine has reported.
Archaeologists used radiocarbon dating to chart the rise and fall of the little known culture, which reigned over three valleys north of Lima.
The society, whose heyday ran from 3000 to 1800BC, built ceremonial pyramids and complex irrigation systems.
The find casts doubt on the idea that Andean civilisation began by the sea.
"The scale and sophistication of these sites is unheard of anywhere in the New World at this time," said Jonathan Haas, MacArthur Curator of Anthropology at the Field Museum, Chicago.
"The cultural pattern that emerged in this small area in the third millennium BC later established a foundation for 4,000 years of cultural florescence in other parts of the Andes."
The civilisation, which was characterised by stone pyramids, large ceremonial structures and agriculture, spread over three windy valleys in the Norte Chico region of Peru.
There were about 20 separate residential centres, which seemed to compete with each other to produce the most imposing architecture - some creating buildings as high as 26m (85ft).
They may even have had religion, the researchers believe.
"They probably did have organised religion," said co-author Winifred Creamer, a Northern Illinois University (NIU) anthropologist. "Objects have been yielded which do point to religion, like anthropomorphic figurines."
Goodness that is interesting - I had always thought that the Peruvian culture was 'younger' than that.
Its great that science is bringing new information like that to us all the time - just as the dates of Egyptian civilisation is being pushed back further in time, it's happening for Peru too.
I saw a documentary aaaages ago about the ancient Peruvian pyramids that predate the Incas, and apparently, i'm really not sure if this is true, but the Peruvian pyramids may be older than the Egyptian ones!! But they were probably for a different use than the Egyptian ones-I think the pyramids of South and Central American peoples were used for grisly human sacrifices?
I found it interesting as well that these finds are so old. Like Sesen I always thought that the South American cicilization was much "younger"
The article mentions that they don't know what kind of religious beliefs these people had. I think the "grisly sacrifices" Isis mentions are from a much later period. It may of course be that this also happened at this site, but the function of the pyramids is not really known in this case (I think).
There are a lot pyramid like structures in this one site I went to in Peru called Caral. It looks like it is modeled after the mayan or aztec site called teotihuacan. These pyramids were more of ceremonial sites. I haven't heard of any human sacrifices in Peru though.

Welcome to part 3 of the Real Women, Real Business series!
This week’s interview is with a Career Executive Coach!
An interview with Laura Peli, a Career Executive Coach!
Ni-Cons Consulting is a company focused on Career Consulting and Coaching. We work all over Europe and China, collaborating with Universities and high schools, as well as the corporate world. We work with the future leaders, shaping their leadership skills through coaching and motivation.
I worked in Business Hospitality Consultancy, I had an important role within the company and I loved it. But two years ago I felt it was the right time to leave and start a new adventure with my business partner Carla Ferrero.
I have always wanted to be a coach focusing only on developing people’s skills and abilities. Although I could coach and train the employees within the organization at my previous firm, I wanted more.
Carla and I worked alongside youngsters for quite a while. We realized that the students were not prepared enough to face the world of work. Especially millennials, who had a different attitude towards the small ‘daily failures’.
We understood there was a gap in the market and we gave it a go. In the UK there were already few existing companies like ours, however, in the rest of Europe, we were kind of pioneers in what we do.
Initially, several people asked me if I was sure I had considered all the potential scenarios. I knew that in order to reach my goal I had to trust in myself and do a leap of faith.
Some people even asked me if I was afraid to fail. The answer is “No”. Our life is made by daily failures, without them we wouldn’t be able to be good professionals.
No, we didn’t, we preferred to have the full ownership of the company. For this reason, we managed not to have external investors.
Carla has majored in Chinese language and lived in Asia for several years, this is why we work with Chinese students too. Whereas I have gained my BA in foreign languages in Italy, then I moved to the UK where I got a couple of Masters in London.
Nevertheless, I am a coach, so between The Coaching Academy and other private institutions, I have done several courses and training in this field. I never stop studying though, as a matter of fact, I am already looking for the next course to attend!
I recall my business partner and I being overly enthusiast at the beginning and that positive attitude really helped, especially when our business was in an embryonal state.
When you start a new business you have to keep your goal in mind: never forget the reason behind the company. Also, we set short and medium-term goals, in this way we keep ourselves motivated.
The hardest was knowing that the income would have been unstable for a while, at the beginning is hard, but if I focus on my aims, I see that it’s worth it.
My personal life has suffered initially, I was very focused on my work and I didn’t really take a lot of time off. But after the first 6/9 months, I have managed to find a way.
The secret for a good balance is to keep one day a week (or two half-a-days) and take that time just for yourself to do the things that you love. At the end of the day, if you burn out, you won’t be a good CEO.
It happens that when we travel for work, we have bigger workload waiting for us at the end of the day! In case I have extra work to do, I try to sort it out as soon as possible, working till late or early in the morning.
I think LinkedIn is an incredible tool in terms of marketing your business. We also keep up with the social media world with our Facebook page and Instagram.
Half of our business is from word of mouth, which, as far as I am concerned, is the best way. Happy clients who spread the voice is a powerful marketing tool.
I can manage my timetable and I can work from anywhere.
Thanks to the internet, a coach like me I can easily work with people via Video Call. It all depends on how you organise your schedule.
To think if this is what they really want. If yes, then do it as soon as possible. This world needs more women leaders.
If you want to find out more about Laura, Carla and Ni-Cons Consulting you can find everything you need below.

Dengue fever is a rapidly emerging mosquito-borne disease that has greatly impacted parts of the Americas, including the country of Costa Rica. The emergence of this disease has been attributed to environmental factors such as precipitation, elevation, temperature, and land cover. Changes in these environmental factors may also change the distribution of the disease.This study aims to find correlations between dengue fever incidence and other environmental factors like deforestation and forest cover in Costa Rica through spatial analysis for the years 2006-2017. By mapping and describing the spatial distribution of dengue fever in Costa Rica, this study seeks to influence targeted interventions to control current outbreaks and prevent future ones.

Read 1 Customer Review for Christmas Central.
Very disappointed with my order from Chrismas Central. They sent me a Christmas throw with someone else's name on it. The description online did not say anything about personalizing the item and the photo did not show any names. Their return policy is terrible. Items must be returned within 14-days of receiving your order. Even though the problem originated with Christmas Central, they still charged me a restocking fee. I will not be ordering from them again & suggest you do the same. Everything they carry can be purchased from many other companies...they offer nothing unique.
Christmas Central Rating: 2.7/5 (14 votes cast) [1 vote came from reviews] 1 review by users total.

A tennis boom in schools helped Canberra participation levels hit a record high this year, with more than 27,000 people playing in the sport in the capital.
It caps off a massive 12 months for Tennis ACT, which also saw Fed Cup action return to Canberra for the first time in 20 years when Australia beat the Ukraine 3-2 in the world group II first round in February.
The biggest growth was in schools, with 15,000 children playing tennis at 55 primary schools and 14 high schools, as well as almost 5000 in junior programs.
Tennis ACT boss Kim Kachel said: "We have a great tennis community in Canberra, with dedicated volunteers at our clubs and passionate professional coaches.
"The ACT has been leading the way with initiatives such as 'book a court', and our clubs and coaches are always the first to put their hands up to get involved in new programs."

But, in the end, Adesanya's ability to control the distance was enough to earn him a unanimous decision from the judges (29-28, 30-27, 30-27).
According to UFC president Dana White in his post-UFC 234 news conference, Gastelum had borrowed flyweight champion Henry Cejudo's title belt.
As a result of the eleventh-hour cancellation, Israel Adesanya's 185lbs showdown with Anderson Silva was promoted to the main event. I was fighting the doctors all the way up until they said, 'You have to get surgery or you're going to lose part of your bowel.' Or it could be potentially fatal.
Israel Adesanya lands a right hand strike on Anderson Silva during his unanimous decision victory.
The Last Stylebender ended up picking up the win via decision after three rounds, but The Spider did catch the attention of one Conor McGregor, who laid out a respectful challenge for the 43-year-old.
'I turned up to fight, ' he said, declaring he was the champion as Whittaker had effectively forfeited the fight.
The star, originally from Auckland in New Zealand, went on to thank his coaches, management, friends and family for their unwavering support, and gave a special shout-out to his teammates.
It was widely expected to be a one-sided bout in favor of the younger fighter, the heaviest opposing favorite in Silva's illustrious career.
"I do this s*** for real, and I do it against the best".
Lando Vannata, Ricky Simon, Montana De La Rosa and Jimmy Crute were also victorious on the main card. Whittaker underwent emergency surgery Sunday.
"Then about 10 o'clock we got a call from (Whittaker's wife) Sofia saying he's got some bad stomach cramps and he's in quite a lot of pain and can't sleep.it got to the stage at about three in the morning where he was taken to hospital".
Gastelum tweeted with "much sorrow" that the fight was off, but showed sympathy for Whittaker's plight.
The UFC said in a statement that customers may request a full refund owing to the change in the main event.
As a sign of respect, Adesanya lifted Silva's arm up to the crowd to make sure arguably the greatest UFC fighter in history got the recognition he deserved.

We do lots of development work on this customers track day car. Work is always done on sensible budgets so it’s enjoyable engineering solutions to a cost and often using parts which aren’t quite meant to fit. It seems more fun trying to engineer a way to fit a round peg in a square hole rather than spend 2 thousand pounds on a brand new billet aluminium square peg or a carbon fibre round hole.
This time we had to make a few adaptions up to mount a larger turbo. All of the flanges and pipes need making for air, oil and water. Next on the list was to pipe in the largest radiator we could squeeze between the chassis rails and not infringe on the intercooler. Once this was done we decided residual underbonnet temperatures would be no good for the air intake so it had to be moved. Fortuantely this car hasn’t been seen by an MoT tester for some time so lights are an unecessary luxury, and a perfect place to scoop up some cold air.

· Whether there was any inappropriate concentration or priority setting of counter terrorism resources by relevant state sector agencies prior to this attack.
In the course of its work, the Royal Commission will consider whether the SIS put a lopsided amount of their time and resources into countering Muslim radicalism and placed the eventual victims under undue surveillance – while paying comparatively little attention to the threat posed by the white nationalist groups that nurtured the attack.
On the available evidence (including its annual reports) the unfortunate reality is that the SIS and the white supremacists appear to have shared in common a jaundiced view of the Muslim community in New Zealand. It will be up to the Royal Commission to find out how and why that happened, so that the security services don’t make similar mistakes in future.
One thing we can be pretty sure of is that the SIS will not turn up to the Royal Commission and say words to the effect of: “ Sorry, our bad.We totally over-rated the threat of Muslim radicalism in New Zealand, and totally under-rated the threat from white supremacists. You can’t believe how really, really bad we feel about this.” Nothing like that is going to happen.
What will happen is that the SIS (and presumably the GCSB) will attempt to defend and rationalise their actions in the light of the “Muslim threat” priorities set out in the string of SIS annual reports for the past decade or more. Again and again, those reports cite the over-riding threat to New Zealand from local and foreign jihadi agents, influences and social media recruitment efforts. That’s the dilemma. This Commission of Inquiry has been established in the wake of a horrific attack, amid a groundswell of public compassion for the victimised Muslim community in our midst.
If, however, the SIS is going to conduct a high profile defence of its concentration of time and resources on Muslim surveillance, there is an obvious risk that this process will result in the re-stigmatising of the Muslim community all over again. Clearly, Justice Young is going to have to walk a tightrope if and when the SIS chooses to defend itself by claiming that it – and everyone else in their fellow security agencies overseas – believed that surveilling mosques and Muslim communities was a good and necessary policy at the time. Easy to be wise afterwards, the SIS may well claim – while adding for good measure that the situational logic back then was different to what we know now, and had seemed compelling.
And why so? Well, that would be because of Islamic State’s online recruitment efforts, because of Charlie Hebdo, because of Bataclan etc etc. One can imagine the SIS putting forward evidence of bouts of fiery radicalism detected by it within this or that mosque. Meaning: will our current compassion for the Muslim community survive unscathed an investigation where that kind of defence is aired and vigorously rationalised by the alleged experts in the field? Finding the right tone and balance on this issue is going to pose a challenge for the Commission.
Obviously, and for a raft of reasons both good and bad, the Commission will not be embarking on a witch-hunt into SIS incompetence, and it will come under pressure to find extenuating circumstances for the SIS level of performance. Yet in ensuring the natural justice rights of the SIS and its leadership are protected, the Commission will simultaneously need to avoid creating a platform for re-stigmatising the Muslim community that came under such deadly attack on March 15, even as the agency meant to protect them was steadfastly looking in the wrong direction. If it is to regain public confidence at all, the SIS needs to confess to its mistakes and apologise for them. The Muslim community deserves no less than that.
Footnote One: The Commission’s handling of classified information will pose a crucial test of just how much of a ‘public facing’ exercise this Royal Commission of Inquiry can be. We have already seen (from the Operation Burnham inquiry) how readily the authorities fetishise their security information, to the point where its protection becomes the over-riding goal of the entire proceedings. Like a blanket dropped over a birdcage, the “need” for secrecy can be used to conceal incompetence, or worse.
The Commission will need to make it very, very difficult for the SIS to claim that it needs to protect its sources of foreign intelligence when – arguably – one of the main points at issue here is whether this same foreign intelligence (and its skewed priorities) misled the SIS into pursuing a jihadi threat that bore little relevance to New Zealand conditions. Why, the Commission needs to vigorously inquire, should the sanctity of protecting foreign intelligence sources be recognised, when – arguably – evidence exists to suggests that it may have been this very same foreign intelligence that swayed the SIS into putting its time and resources into the wrong targets, thereby deflecting its attention from the real and imminent threat.
Usually, when classified evidence is relevant to proceedings, a ‘special advocate’ is appointed to review the documentation, and report to the court about it. If such an advocate is appointed to that task by the Royal Commission, their terms of employment need to indicate that one of their prime tasks would be to determine whether the claim to secrecy for each item is, in fact, justified. To do its job prioperly, the Commission needs to give itself the means to challenge and evaluate in public the relevant material, including the testimony of the security services leadership.
Footnote: Justice William Young. The last time we had a serious case of the SIS barking up the wrong tree on a security issue was in the early 2000s, when the agency convinced itself it had caught an Algerian refugee (Ahmed Zaoui) that it then excitedly treated a security threat to New Zealand equivalent to the likes of Osama Bin Laden.
This was virgin territory for New Zealand, and much of the spadework in establishing the court’s role in security matters was done via the High Court judgement by Justice Williams and – in a major Court of Appeal judgement in October 2004 – by Justice Susan Glazebrook. One point of raising this history is to suggest that among the current Supreme Court bench of justices, Glazebrook would (arguably) have been an even better choice to head this Royal Commission, given her proven grasp of how the role of security agencies intersect with competing rights and responsibilities.
In fact, much of the Supreme Court’s subsequent ruling inn the Zaoui merely followed in the footsteps she had laid out so cogently in the Court of Appeal.
Justice William Young was one of three judges sitting in the Court of Appeal on an appeal by the Crown against what had been a previous victory by the Zaoui team in the High Court. The High Court ruling had established ground rules for how the SIS Inspector-General should exercise his powers under his own legislation, mindful of the lawful SIS role with respect to security threats, and also mindful of Zaoui’s own competing rights under the Refugee Convention. The Crown unanimously lost its appeal, and Young’s contribution to the judgment largely deferred to the views of his colleagues, justices Anderson and Glazebrook.
No doubt though, Young has had a highly successful career both before and after his elevation to the bench of our highest court, and there is no suggestion that he is under-qualified for the task ahead.
The other case involving Young that comes to mind was his dissenting role in the Right to Life NZ case brought against the Abortion Supervisory Committee. This case was fought over the extent to which the decisions of certifying consultants to approve abortions could be opened up to challenge and to review. This important case was analysed in Werewolf by Alison McCulloch in 2012, as a warning about the vulnerability of New Zealand’s current system of abortion rights. Basically, a conservative statute has been interpreted liberally but at any point, the legal balance could tip the other way and overturn the single precedent on which the entire edifice currently depends.
By a razor thin majority decision in the Right to Life case, the Supreme Court continued to (largely) exempt the decisions of certifying consultants from review. In their dissenting opinion, justices Young and McGrath argued that the Committee’s statutory powers were wide enough to seek information retrospectively from certifying consultants about their diagnoses of individual cases.
If the SIS is casting around for a theme song as it prepares for the Royal Commission investigation, maybe this old Graham Parker track would be as good as any for their purposes. There’s a line here about the need to throw tidbits to the crowd… and the couplet that goes “who does this treachery I shout with bleeding hand/Is it you or is it me? /well, I never will understand” seems a pretty accurate description of the SIS response to date.

And by “comic book” I meant unwholesome magazines filled with smutty novel excerpts, make-out tips and, QUIZZES.
They’re the REAL reason I bought magazines (before BuzzFeed took over the quiz universe).
… do you remember taking any of these quizzes from Seventeen Magazine?
The power of a quiz has not tarnished since the late 1990’s.
Lots of marketers make this big mistake: assuming leads from a quiz are unqualified.
They don’t have to be – if you create your quiz right.
Like the one quiz I ran that brought in 172 additional course sales, resulting in an extra $25k in just two weeks. That’s not counting lifetime customer value, BTW.
It’s basic human nature to want to know ourselves better.
Even if it’s just for fun.
Sherry Turkle, MIT psychologist and cultural analyst, explains the popularity of modern quizzes as a way of dealing with our existential dread and altering how others perceive us. It’s not so much taking the quiz that people enjoy – it’s sharing the results.
How can quizzes help me to grow my bottom line?
‘Cuz we’ve got businesses to run and serious goals. But quizzes will help you achieve your ambitions. Specifically in terms of lead generation.
According to LeadQuizzes, the average quiz has a 33.6% lead capture rate – though in the quizzes I run, I typically see much higher conversions.
Plus, interactive content is far more powerful than a regular ol’ guide. According to a CMI survey in 2016, 81% of respondents agreed that interactive content grabs attention more effectively than static content.
Dang, that means more than 3 out of every 4 people is hooked by a quiz.
The average quiz is shared 1900 times. No more forking over handfuls of cash for Facebook ads – quizzes are your new BFF.
Ideal lead magnet to attract people in the first stage of the buyer’s journey / TOFU.
You may think you’re being approachable with your 25-page free guide. But a total newcomer isn’t going to invest their time or energy in reading that. They’re in the wrong stage of awareness. What they will invest in is a quiz.
Quizzes are NOT going away.
If you think they’re below you or too hard to make, you’d be wise to reconsider.
According to BuzzSumo, the average quiz gets shared 1,900 times. Compared to the average number of shares on an article, you’re entering an entirely new dimension of social media sharing stats. Interactive content is the nectar of the conversion gods.
Quizzes rock because you get to exercise your super spy powers to better understand your ideal client’s needs and desires. This sounds creepy – I know – but it helps you offer more value.
You get to see the quiz’s results. Often, one result out of 4 or 5 outnumbers the others. Talk about some powerful insight to guide your future content and copy that your audience will resonate with.
It’s like asking people to fill out a survey… except it’s actually fun for them.
Contrary to popular belief, email marketing isn’t dead.
In fact, it’s getting more and more sophisticated.
You have the power to craft targeted marketing messages for specific segments of your audience – as long as they’ve told you where they belong.
For example, you run an online business that teaches entrepreneurs how to start and grow their business. Someone just starting out needs an entirely different approach vs. someone who’s already successful.
But finding out who your audience is and getting them on the right list isn’t always straightforward. Sure, you can send a survey or use the ASK method right off the bat. Without an incentive, who really wants to fill out a survey? I know, I know – micro-commitments are legit, but what if there was something a smidge easier?
Lucky for you there is.
Quizzes make segmenting your list fun for your audience AND they’re just as effective as a survey. Talk about a win-win.
Create your quiz results based on your different audience segments.
Set up tags for each one.
Automatically place quiz takers in the most-appropriate funnel.
Are quizzes effective for EV-ER-Y niche?
Are all quizzes going to be a home run?
What makes a truly killer quiz?
Y’know, a quiz that people can’t help but want to click-through and invest 5 minutes on? That’s what I’m about to show you.
You might be surprised at how much work goes into creating a high-converting quiz.
One that makes people fall in love with you like you’re Leo on Seventeen’s July ‘98 cover.
Coming up with a great quiz idea is easy. Things get mucky in creating relevant questions and juicy outcomes. Mucky enough to make most people throw in the towel.
Writing highly compelling quizzes – ones that people want to share – is both an art and a science.
Just like any piece of content, your quiz needs to be engaging.
You don’t want to make your audience feel like they’re answering questions on a government survey.
Your questions and results have to connect back to your bottom line. In other words, the data you’re collecting needs to be relevant. And the quiz results you create should loop back to the solution your brand provides. It’s all a little mind-boggling.
Writing a quiz doesn’t have to be a struggle. Just follow the blueprint I’m about to outline for you and you’re well on your way to the Quiz Hall of Fame.
My mom started menopause a few years ago. She’s always talking about hot flashes and mood swings and all the annoying stuff that goes along with it.
One day I stumbled upon Dr. Sara Gottfried’s quiz and immediately sent my mom the link.
She loved it. Because it spoke to exactly what she was experiencing and the outcome she desired. When your message is on point, getting ideal clients to convert is not a challenge.
Here’s an example of Dr. Sara’s quiz.
Ask the right questions and you’ll be swimming in data that can help you refine your messaging and strengthen your value props.
Quizzes are good for more than just leads… and telling your friends which Game of Thrones character you are.
Questions help us understand our prospects and get to the root of how we can help them.
So, how do you come up with your quiz questions? Formulate your questions around what you ultimately want to sell.
For example, if you’re selling business coaching services, sse your questions to prequalify potential leads.
Because of that question, you know this biz offers customer feedback analysis services. Now, with these quiz responses, they’ve got data about how ready their TOFU prospects are to engage in the sales funnel.
Selling products? Use your quiz questions to help your potential customer understand all the possibilities you can offer them.
A genie grants you one wish. What do you choose?
You should start with these questions in your brainstorming, methinks.
Creating shareable outcomes that provide value and offer a peek at the solution you provide is an art.
But THIS is what differentiates your quiz from yet another brainless Buzzfeed post.
The copy you create for your outcomes should offer insight AND a few actionable strategies. Offer real value. The last thing you want is for people to feel like you wasted their time.
This step loops back to the first one: know your target audience.
Understand how they speak, what Facebook pages they like, their age, demographic, and beyond. Set up a few targeted Facebook ad campaigns.
Test a few variations of your quiz title and description against each other to see which performs best.
A welcome sequence will warm up your cold leads. Which is exactly what you want.
Long story short: it helps them get to know you. Because odds are they took your quiz for fun. If you don’t follow up, they’ll forget you exist.
Or worse, they won’t ever have known how you could’ve potentially helped them.
A welcome email sequence is akin to the build-up towards intimacy in a new relationship. It’s your chance to make new subscribers in the awareness stage happy – nay, thrilled – to have you in their inbox.
When it comes to lead magnets that involve minimal commitment from the subscriber – like a quiz – a welcome sequence is more vital.
Otherwise, there’s no real reason your new leads should remain on your list when you start sending them emails appropriate for other stages of the buyer’s journey.
Offer your new subscribers a clear overview of who you are, what you do, how you do it and why.
Establish understanding and connection. Set the scene and let people get a really good idea of your brand voice and overall tone.
How can you learn more about your new subscribers? Give them a reason to hit reply and tell you something about themselves.
Build trust and offer value. You can offer a free discovery session, send other free resources, PDFs, videos and links to popular blog posts, give them your best stuff right off the bat – they just might love you forever.
Tell your story and share why you give a damn.
A carefully crafted welcome sequence is a key ingredient for a leak-free funnel and essential to make sure those new leads stick around.
It’s possible – you can create quizzes just as clickable as the ones you see on BuzzFeed. The caveat is this: they must have a purpose beyond mere entertainment.
Both of these outlets have very different purposes.
BuzzFeed operates primarily on a traffic generation revenue model. The content itself doesn’t really matter as long as it gets the click.
You want to copy Seventeen’s purpose which is aligned with a business goal: sell magazines. Their alluringly corny quizzes help them do that.
You have something to sell, right?
Make sure your quiz relates back to your overarching purpose: to sell your product, service or course.
Will a quiz work for my niche?
The short answer is yes. From my experience, quizzes work for just about every niche.
One thing to keep in mind is that personality quizzes tend to perform best. According to popular quiz platform, Playbuzz, 77% of quizzes that have been shared 100,000 times or more are personality quizzes. So, if you’re gunning for the fences, create a personality quiz.
For example, Dr. Kelly Ann Petrucci – whose bone broth obsession instantly makes me love her – brought in over 40,000 leads with her Gluten Intolerance Quiz.
The quiz fun doesn’t stop there. If you sell services like graphic design or photography, create a quiz that gives you better insight into your client’s needs.
Even realtors and other professional service-based businesses can benefit from quizzes. Check out this quiz from MyDomaine … now, honestly, tell me you wouldn’t take this quiz if you were house-hunting?
In your quiz, use you can use images, ask questions you might normally be embarrassed to ask, and gain a ton of insight into what the market wants.
Neil Patel saw a 500% increase in leads after implementing quizzes. This is coming from someone who already has everything optimized for conversion to a degree far greater than 99% of online businesses.
If these folks can do it, so can you.
So what quiz are you going to create to grow your list?
What tool will you use to run it?
Drop it in the comments below. Funny, serious, business-driven or downright ridonculous—let’s get quizzical!

It's been just over a month since Britta announced her debut album on Pledgemusic and she's been treating all the folk who've pre-ordered with a stack of updates.
The Pledgemusic store is packed with goodies including signed test pressings, t-shirts, rare vinyl, Luna posters, and handwritten lyric sheets - as well as, of course, CD and vinyl copies of the album itself - and with all the extras being posted (see below) you'd be silly not to head over to Pledgemusic and order something.
You can also check out this nice Q&A with Britta.
… and some lovely little video clips!
Britta has also been added as support to Luna's shows in Dallas, Austin and Houston in May!

On 12 July 2015, the lost Daughters of the American Revolution insignia belonging to Eva Grace Goss was presented to the current leadership of the Vermont Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) at a special ceremony at the John Strong Mansion Museum in Vergennes, VT, conducted by Purple Hearts Reunited (PHR).
Eva Grace Ward Goss was born on 25 February 1896 in Barton, VT to Albert Ward and Mary Jane Hutchinson. In 1923, Goss joined the Ethan Allan Chapter of the DAR and would later become regent of that Chapter. She was assigned a national membership number (219547) and it can be seen engraved on the back of the medal along with her name. During her time with DAR, she was able to enlist 13 of her grandchildren to join the Green Mountain Boys Society of the Children of the American Revolution (CAR) which was organized in 1972. In September of 1917, she married Dr. Raymond Charles Goss, a local veterinarian. She had two sons who served their country in the Navy during WWII and she also had two daughters. Goss passed away on Christmas Day, 25 December 1985 at the age of 89 in Middlebury, VT.
In May of 2015, Purple Hearts Reunited was contacted by Nancy Comstock looking for help to return the insignia. Comstock told PHR that the medal was discovered several years ago by a friend of one of her daughters. Her father is a local electrician and found the medal in an old wall of an apartment building in Burlington, VT. Nancy’s former name Goss, so she was given the medal with the hope that it belonged to a relative of hers.
Receiving the medal was newly-installed Vermont regent Carol Patterson Schwenk and other members of local Vermont and New York DAR chapters. The insignia will be on permanent display at the John Strong Mansion Museum in Vergennes, VT. The museum was built around 1796 and served as the home of the revolutionary patriot and his family. Strong served as a Captain in the Colonel Ira Allen Regiment and actively participated in local and national governance. He was a member of the 1791 Convention that adopted the Constitution of the United States and approved admission of Vermont to the Union as the 14th State.

Ophelia here with another Artist Gang Tuesday blog post.
For todays journal play, I was completely inspired by the Artist Soul stencil, and the new Dylusions paints that I received. I ended up playing around with a bunch of other stencils that I had and found that these stencils work so very well together. The colors of these paints remind me of Spring, and was the perfect inspiration for creating this page.
The quote from the Artist Soul stencil along with the Good Luck Elephant stencil were exactly what I needed to express where I am in my art journey. Elephants simply remind me of strength, and I am feeling that I want to use this quote on everything!!
I hope that you enjoy todays video. The colors ended up being a bit softer than I really wanted, but this is all about play and experimentation for me. I hope that you find the time spent in your journals the same....enjoy the process over what the finished page looks like.
Acrylic Paint Pens in a variety of colors - clearly here, I need to replace the ones that I own.
Thanks so much for your visit today...grab your stencils, favorite paints, and play!!!

This research focuses on cross-cultural differences in facework between English and German conversation. Specifically, the research addresses facework occurring as part and parcel of sociable conversation, as it is played out within moments of focused topic development - what I term 'sociable episodes'. Drawing on extant literature, the study identifies a range of communicative parameters along which English and German communicative style has been shown to differ, non more so than those suggesting different facework norms, and orientation to face needs as opposed to such things as ideational aspects of talk. In an attempt to address these differences, the study develops a model of facework - facework as alignment -which is posited as being appropriate to the study of essentially apolite conversational interaction. Further, although utilising the notions of ritual equilibrium (Goffman 1967) and positive - negative aspects of face (Brown and Levinson), the posited model of facework focuses specifically on aspects of sociable selfhood informing sociable conversation. It is argued that facework in sociable episodes is a matter of positive and negative alignment of sociable selves in and through the claiming of solidarity with and autonomy from other co-participants in terms of expressions of definitions, evaluations, experiences. In terms of English - German differences, these are demonstrated to be a matter of alignment of different sociable selves, ones normatively and routinely positively and negatively aligned in the achievement of sociable conversation, and ones indexing prevailing but culturally differing positive social values (Goffman 1967). The study concludes by identifying areas for future research based on the facework as alignment model developed and applied throughout the thesis.

Chairman of NCFJE Rabbi Shea Hecht released a statement following the successful conclusion of the holiday of Yom Kippur thanking the community and the sponsors of Kappores. He also apologized for the delay of the delivery of the chickens on Erev Yom Kippur.
It’s now forty years that the NCFJE has assisted the Jewish community in observing the ancient and holy minhag of kapparos. It’s well known that my father, Rabbi Yaakov Yehuda Hecht, OBM, received the Rebbe’s blessings and enthusiastic support in reviving this custom, and the Rebbe would frequently ask my father about the details of the operations, costs, and even about those in attendance.
As always, the committee and I want to express our deepest gratitude to our sponsors, who have never failed to support kapparos and ensure that families should be able to observe the minhag without facing crushing expenses.
We also want to thank the Crown Heights community for turning out in full force. This year, for the first time in recent memory, we experienced such a huge demand for subsidized kapparos that we actually ran out of birds very quickly. We’ll be taking steps to ensure that there will be ample supply of subsidized birds next year.
We also deeply regret that the delivery of birds on Erev Yom Kippur was delayed by several hours. This was an act of Heaven and couldn’t have been foreseen or prevented. Many families were forced to go elsewhere for kapparos, which is understandable. In the future we hope put an emphasis on earlier venues so that there will be less of a risk of last minute mishaps.
I also thank the community for being cautious and sensible about their personal conduct. A certain hostile organization is continuing to take legal actions to try to abolish this aspect of our religion, and the dignified, mindful conduct of the community does a lot to dispel their claims.
Many members of the community have come forth with ideas and suggestions to make kapparos run more smoothly and efficiently. Anyone who wishes may contact us at [email protected].
To clarify for those who have expressed their concerns: NCFJE uses each and every kapparos chicken for kosher purposes. Even the treifos do not go to waste, as they, their feathers and entrails are recycled by an outside company.
On behalf of the directors and trustees of the NCFJE I would like to wish you all the very best of the coming year.
Thank You Rabbi Hecht for making Kaporas monhag Jewish tradition to take place again. I came all the way from Long Island to do Kaporas.
No they weren’t. I was there, no one asked you your marital status and the prices were posted.
Thank you for fighting the good fight!!!
If you have nothing nice to say….say nothing….and definitely don’t make up stuff…..chickens were clearly priced. Thank you NCFJE and rabbis hecht for a job well done…..The Aibishter really runs the show…although we think we do…..all your planning and hard work was appreciated the rest is up to….
Much continued Hatzlocha in all your work!
shea hecht keeping it classy. well done.
Thanks for taking care of this year in year out no matter the cost and circumstances,.
Thank you for all you do for our community. The things that people know about and the things that that people don’t know.
I like an honest man like shea hecht who comes out and says it like it is.

Copper will come to you new and somewhat shiny. Your copper will patina on its own and darken up over time. Moisture or humidity can accelerate this process. A dremmel with a brass brush attachment can be use to polish up the copper and restore it to a more shiny state. Polishing may only shine up the surface, as the crevices and valleys may stay patina. You can also use a weak acid like lemon juice to bring back a shine.
If you chose a patina finish, your copper will be sealed with a wax that will prevent accelerated aging. Once this wax wears off in a few months to a year, your copper will continue to patina naturally.

Blondie leader singer Debbie Harry.
Amazon is getting into live music gigs, and will run a series of shows this summer starting with Blondie in May.
The series is called Prime Live Events, with Amazon handling event promotion and ticketing through Amazon Tickets.
Here's the kicker — it's pretty expensive. The events are only available if you're a Prime subscriber, and tickets for the Blondie show start from £150, according to the Prime Live Events site. And you can only buy a maximum of two tickets.
Other shows this summer include Texas, Alison Moyet, and Katie Melua. It's likely Amazon will add later shows too. It looks like the events are UK-only for now.
The sell from Amazon is that you get to see massive artists in intimate spaces. Although the new concerts mark the launch of Prime Live Events, the company ran a few trial gigs with John Legend and Robbie Williams in smaller venues. It isn't often you'd get to see artists who can sell out stadia up close, and Amazon's betting that people will be willing to pay for the privilege.
And some more context: although people are buying fewer CDs, they're seeing more live music than ever. According to PwC figures, live music revenues will grow to about $28 billion (£21 billion) by 2020. It makes sense for Amazon to push into this area.
Amazon's also going to package up each concert and make them available through Amazon Prime Video. The only way you'll get to see these exclusive concerts, live or taped, is if you fork out for a subscription.
Live music is a nice complementary business for Amazon's ticketing business, Amazon Tickets, which launched in 2015. Ticketing its own events means Amazon can cut out rivals like Live Nation, which dominates the ticketing market. To avoid the issue of touts buying tickets in bulk and reselling them for even more money, Amazon is putting a bunch of strict rules in place. Attendees have to bring photo ID and check into the event via a guestlist, rather than with physical tickets.

How few players can constitute a team?
So the law says a team may not START with six or fewer players but what about the minimum number of players for a match to CONTINUE? This is not actually mentioned on the Laws of the Game. However, as I have mentioned many times, to get the true picture you have to look in the back of the book. Here you will find another four pages of interpretations, instructions and guidance on Law 3. These tell us that the minimum number of players for a game to be allowed to continue is left to the discretion of member associations. BUT the International FA Board, who make the Law, is of the opinion that it should also be abandoned if a team go below seven players. This is the number that the FA set for matches in England and as far as I know all other associations around the world also adopt. To sum it up, Yeovil would have had to gone down to six or fewer for the game to be called off.
There are a couple of other pieces of advice given to referees on this subject. If a player should walk off the pitch, that is to say leave the game when his team is down to seven, the referee would not immediately abandon the game but wait until the ball next goes out of play. The other point is what happens if one of the seven players becomes injured and has to leave the field of play? Here the referee would wait to see the extent of the injury. In other words, if the injured player was fit to resume playing after treatment then the game would continue but if not the referee would abandon the game.
This leads me to another question that I have been asked frequently in the last few days, and it is one that every referee gets if he abandons a match for any reason. What happens to the game, is it replayed or does the score at the abandonment stand? The advice given to new referees is to say ‘I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the competition’. This is because under Law 7, Duration of the Match it says, ‘An abandoned match is replayed unless the competition rules provide otherwise’. Competition rules vary greatly, and some pass the decision on to its management committee to decide on the circumstances of each abandonment, so don’t always bank on a replay.

For six months, rats were fed a diet containing either GM maize (MON 810 or NK603) or non-GM maize, in varying concentrations. The researchers, using high-throughput biology techniques, did not identify any significant biological markers related to the transgenic maize diet. Neither did anatomic pathology examination reveal any alteration of the liver, kidneys or reproductive system of the rats fed diets containing these GMOs. This research, published on December 10, 2018 in Toxicological Sciences, does not reveal any harmful effects related to the consumption of these two types of GM maize in the rat even after lengthy periods of exposure.
The researchers used two well-known types of GM maize: MON 810, which produces the protein Bt rendering it resistant to certain insects, and NK603 in which the modification of a gene renders it resistant to glyphosate. For 6 months, the rats were fed a diet containing either transgenic maize or non-GM control maize. This time period, which is double that of the test required by European regulations, is equivalent to one third of the average lifespan of rats.
The objective of the researchers was to test for early biomarkers of biological function alterations in rats fed GM maize over periods of 3 and 6 months. For that, they used two ultra-sensitive high-throughput techniques: transcriptomics (gene expression) and metabolomics (study of the compounds derived from the body's functioning). These techniques were used to identify and measure metabolites (amino acids, sugars and other small molecules) and to characterize the expression of messenger RNA and cellular microRNA. These methods are capable of detecting a broad spectrum of metabolic variations. The researchers identified markers able to differentiate the MON810 and NK603 diets. However, following the six-month period of the experiment, no significant differences were identified between the GM and non-GM diets, from the biological point of view.
In addition, in the rats fed the GM diets, anatomic pathology techniques (macro- and microscopic study of the tissues to detect potential abnormalities) revealed no alteration of the organs, particularly the liver, kidneys and reproductive system.

It's good to see this new report, contradicting some previous, poorly-done French studies which claimed to see important differences in rats fed GM versus non-GM food - without consideration of statistical or biological significance of possible differences between groups.

Schools need to have recreational facilities for schoolchildren to enjoy life at school.
The Chairman of the GES Council, Mr Michael Nsowah, who disclosed this in an interview, said very soon, inspectors from the service would go round all the schools and those found without playgrounds, as well as those with unapproved structures, would be instructed to either conform to the GES requirements or risk being closed down until the right thing had been done.
He said playgrounds were one of the key components required prior to setting up a basic school where the developmental stage of every child began.
Mr Nsowah said those running schools without playgrounds were doing a disservice to the schoolchildren because recreational activities were important for children, especially for their health and well-being.
According to Mr Nsowah, recreational activities helped in the development of the brain and the language of every child, and also formed an integral part of the total education of the school’s co-curricular activities.
The chairman of the GES said children who attended schools without playgrounds were usually confined to their classes during break time, thereby depriving them of their play time which was the most active part of their day.
Commenting on the issue, the Headmistress of the Stephenson International School in Accra, Ms Joyce Stephenson, acknowledged that the lack of a playground in her school was a worry to the management of the school since the schoolchildren missed their play time regularly during break time.
She said the schoolchildren used to enjoy their break time very much when the school was at its old site until it moved to its present location following a long-standing land litigation.
That, she said, eventually gave the management of the school no other choice but to run the school in her home.
The Headmistress of the Beacon Hall School, Mrs Helen Akakpo, who shared the same sentiments said most schools were being ran in homes due to problems of land litigation in the country.
She said the problem of the double sale of lands by land owners was worrying and appealed to the law enforcement agencies to give stiffer punishment to people who engaged in the multiple sale of lands.
Nicholas Ankrah, a student of the Stephenson International School, confirmed that the lack of a playground in the school sometimes made him miss the school’s former location where he used to play football with his mates during break time.
Princess Mensah, another student of the same school said since the school did not have a playground, during break time she usually stayed in the classroom to chat with her friends.

Chamomile tea has long been a source of calm before bedtime, but this tea is so much more than just a soothing night cap! It offers multiple health benefits for your entire body, which makes it worth investing in for optimum health.
In order to strengthen your immune system, you need to offer it bacteria fighting support, and chamomile tea contains just the right balance of a compound that does exactly that. Hippurate is a powerful botanical compound in chamomile tea leaves that has been proven to effectively fight bacteria, which makes this elixir the perfect drink when you are battling a cold, flu or infection.
Glycine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps to calm your nerves and muscles, and drinking chamomile tea has been proven to elevate the levels of glycine in your body. Research has shown that glycine levels remain elevated for up to two weeks after drinking chamomile tea regularly, which means that you will have more relaxed nerves and muscles long after your last sip.
Just 2-3 cups of chamomile tea per day could have you feeling nurtured and relaxed during that awful week of menstruation. The elevated levels of glycine that relax your nerves and muscles are also responsible for calming menstrual spasms. It’s best sipped hot, which further soothes you into a blissful state, and yes, it may be accompanied by a pastry, if required.
A hot cup of chamomile tea taken about thirty minutes before you tuck yourself in will reduce the effects of insomnia, sending your nerves and brain into a gentle narcotic doze. Chamomile has long been known as a mild tranquilizer, likely due to its rich dose of flavonoids which signal your brain to release serotonin and dopamine for a good night’s rest.
Infants can often be susceptible to colic, diarrhea and fever, and chamomile is the perfect antidote. Give a quarter to a half a cup of chamomile tea per day can significantly reduce stomach cramps and ailments in infants and toddlers, soothing your baby back into a peaceful and healthy state. For adults suffering from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) the alkalizing and sedative effect of chamomile tea can restore balance, and calm tense colon spasms. It has also been proven to relieve bloating and gas, leaving you feeling better in a few delicious sips.
Chamomile tea is brimming with natural anti-inflammatory properties that seep slowly through your body to relieve any swelling and pain. Compounds such as bisabolol, apigenin and charmazulene are responsible for this amazing effect, and has even been proven to work when applied topically. This means that dark circles, puffy limbs and even hemorrhoids can be soothed with the gentle application of this amazing tea.
Chamomile tea is the perfect drink for those suffering from diabetes, as it helps to balance blood sugar levels by boosting blood glucose. It also helps to reduce high blood pressure, giving you r body the perfect balance of healthy blood and energy.
Headaches and migraines can be prolonged and painful experiences, and chamomile tea is the perfect drink to help alleviate the symptoms. By drinking 4-5 cups of chamomile tea throughout the day, you will boost blood circulation while alkalizing your body, releasing endorphins and easing you back into a pain-free state.
Studies have shown that drinking regular cups of chamomile tea can increase your life span by up to 29%, most likely due to its anti-stress effect, as well as offering better, deeper sleep. It’s also an excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial drink, which further promotes a long and healthy life.
Chamomile soothes the effects of rashes and eczema on the skin, used as either a delicious tea, or even topically applied to the affected area. Doing both will offer the best results, bringing your skin back to health.

Do you do weddings? Is a question that I get at least twice a week…and the answer is yes and no! I am not a wedding photographer exclusively…families and babies have long time been my focus and I really feel that is where it should be. I love my families, but as the kids have grown up and yes are starting to date and get married, I have started to do a small amount of weddings each year. I feel that it is the natural progression of continuing the relationships with my clients. It’s very strange to be able to photograph a bride, when you have done their senior session too! But I love that part of my job, the building relationships and I love being able to capture priceless memories for them again!
I had the opportunity to shooting this wedding with a dear friend of mine…I love working with friends! It makes the day so much fun! It was was a fun day…with a beautiful bride and an awesome rooftop location in downtown Greensboro!
I love their images…timeless, beautiful and definitely captured some amazing memories!
