How Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Barely Held It Together on ‘Echo’ Everything Tom Petty touched turned to platinum during the '90s, starting with the sales carryover from his 1989 solo debut Full Moon Fever and continuing through a series of bestselling releases that included a pair of albums with the Heartbreakers, the solo Wildflowers LP and a greatest-hits record that boasted a couple new hits of its own. When Petty and the Heartbreakers announced an April 13, 1999, release for their 10th studio LP, Echo, expectations were understandably high. Looking at the liner notes, it seemed reasonable to assume that Echo was destined to become yet another huge hit for Petty and his bandmates. Like Petty's previous release, a soundtrack album for the 1996 Edward Burns movie She's the One, as well as 1994's Wildflowers, the new LP boasted the involvement of producer Rick Rubin, who'd helped give Petty's recent work a slightly rougher, more no-nonsense sound while working to maintain the focus on songwriting that had made the band such reliable hitmakers. But if the personnel was basically the same, it was evident that Echo presented a different Petty. Clustering together 15 songs that weighed in at more than an hour in length, the album announced itself with "Room at the Top," a five-minute lament of lost love that begins on a starkly defiant note before closing with the gut-wrenching plea "Please love me, I'm not so bad / And I love you so." In between, there's a howling middle section in which Mike Campbell's guitar is unleashed over a stomping Steve Ferrone beat — but through it all, Petty sounds broken, resigned, defeated. Like "Room at the Top" — a song Petty once sarcastically described as "one of the most depressing songs in rock history" — Echo is a record that rocks in its way, but is permeated by the same stark sonic palette reflected by its somber black-and-white cover photo. It comes across, in a way, like an echo of the sound — and the band — fans had come to expect. There were some very good real-life reasons for this. "I had some long periods of severe depression," Petty told USA Today. "I took some hard knocks and retreated from the world and lived in this little cabin. I didn't see a lot of people. I wasn't happy, and I didn't want to lay that on everybody. Even when I was in public, I didn't want to be there, and that's a terrible feeling. It took me a while to want to come back." Watch Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 'Room at the Top' Video Even the biggest rock stars have contractual obligations to worry about, however, and Petty's pulled him back into active duty before he was really ready to face the prospect of making a new album. "I think Echo was probably the most scattered I’ve ever been," he told Dean Goodman. "I never played it. I looked at the cover the other day and there was a song or two I didn’t recognize, I don’t even remember writing. It was a very hard time when I did that record. It was the only record I did kinda under the gun in my life where there was this huge tour booked and I had to finish the record." The hard time, as fans were aware, stemmed from Petty's divorce. "Divorces are really furious things to go through, really draining," he explained. "So to try to make a record and get my life together at the same time was really rough." It all added up to what Petty called "a very dark record" — and one he didn't have the strength to support once it was out in stores. "I didn’t do anything to promote it. I didn’t do any promotion. I didn’t make a video. I didn’t do nothing. I think that probably played into it. Plus," he conceded, "I don’t know how good it is." Many artists are their own worst critics, and while Echo may not be a great album by Petty's estimation, even the worst Tom Petty record is better than many other artists' best. Tt still represented a bit of a tumble from the lofty heights he'd enjoyed with releases such as Into the Great Wide Open and Wildflowers, but reviews were generally kind and the album sold respectably, peaking at No. 10 while going gold and sending three singles ("Free Girl Now," "Swingin'" and "Room at the Top") into the Top 20 at Mainstream Rock radio. Watch Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 'Swingin" Video Ultimately, Petty himself found a way to love an album that represented a painful snapshot from a dark personal period. "I think that my life was such a circus at that time, that I don’t think I felt like I was there half of the time," he told Paul Zollo in Conversations With Tom Petty. "I know Rick doesn’t feel like I was there half of the time. But I was." After some prompting from his second wife, he finally listened to the album, and was surprised by what he heard. "I thought for the longest time that I didn’t like it. And later Dana and I were in the car, and [Echo] came on the CD-changer, and I said, ‘Oh no,’ and she said, ‘Listen to this. Really listen to it.’ And we were driving somewhere that was a fairly long drive, and I listened to it, and I really, really liked it," he admitted. "I went, ‘Damn, you know, this ain’t that bad, is it?’ For some reason, I got in my head that I didn’t like it. But I really did like it that day when I heard it in my car." Still, even if was eventually able to appreciate it, Petty still sounded an ambivalent note regarding Echo, and not just because some of the songs stemmed from the end of his marriage. The Heartbreakers themselves were on the verge of saying goodbye to one of their own — bassist Howie Epstein, who would succumb to years of addiction struggles in 2003, shortly after being fired from the band. "There was a lot going on then in my life. Howie was disintegrating before our eyes. That was a big issue. Not the happiest time for the Heartbreakers," Petty told Zollo. "We did a tour behind that record. We did a pretty long tour, for us. That’s what I remember most about it, doing the tour. And the tour went on and on and on. And we played quite a few songs from it. But I was kind of glad to get to another place after Echo. I was kind of glad to get somewhere else. I don’t know why, but I kind of felt like we came back into the sun after that." The Best Song From Every Tom Petty Album The Importance of Tom Petty’s ‘Wildflowers’
THE B8 OF HOPE FAMILY In 2016, an inspiring tale unfolded in Geneva, as a close-knit circle of eight friends, hailing from diverse origins including Swiss, Canadian, Indian, Iranian, Israeli, and Palestinian backgrounds, embarked on a remarkable journey. This group represented a spectrum of faiths, including Jewish, Christian, and Muslim, yet united by a shared vision, they birthed what we now know as B8 of Hope. B8, intentionally pronounced “Beit” or “Bait,” resonates with the meaning of “home” in both Arabic and Hebrew, forging a bridge between languages and cultures. The number 8 holds significance, as it mirrors the count of the co-founders who formed an extraordinary alliance. Their inspiration was kindled by the words of Ali Abu Awwad, a steadfast advocate of nonviolence, who imparted a profound message: “Beyond the labels of pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, lies a greater calling. By reframing our support towards the ground-level peacebuilders from both sides, we can quell the flames of conflict. True assistance lies in being pro-peaceful solution.” This heartfelt encounter with Ali Abu Awwad catalyzed their journey, setting them on a path where unity, understanding, and support for grassroots peace initiatives formed the bedrock of B8 of Hope’s mission. OUR VISION: a more peaceful future based on equal rights, dignity, safety, and self-determination for all the people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. So far political initiatives and peace processes have failed in resolving the long-lasting and most polarizing conflicts of our times. Today, the hope for a peaceful and sustainable Israeli-Palestinian coexistence lies in the work of grassroots and civil society initiatives. People to people connections and transformations will foster positive changes in the Israeli and Palestinian societies. Hatred, fear, mistrust, stereotypes, and victimhood must give way to a change in behavior. Israelis and Palestinians must acknowledge each other’s narratives and respect each other’s rights. Only then can they reject violence and live in peace with themselves and with each other by moving forward and building a better future for all. Hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian civil society and grassroots initiatives on the ground bridge internal and cross-border divides. They create positive changes and bring hope. They need our support to scale up their impact. OUR MISSION: to support Israeli and Palestinian grassroots and civil society initiatives bringing about dialogue, bridge-building, humanization, transformative interactions and any constructive action improving living conditions Among the many barriers to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, we focus on four main obstacles to a constructive change: - Internal divides and challenges inside each community Israelis do not form a monolithic bloc, nor do the Palestinians. There are many political, ethnic and social divides “inside each side”. To bridge these gaps, we support initiatives that unite rather than polarize, initiatives that enable people to find a common ground and shared values to make a difference, initiatives that encourage people to accept the necessity of a peaceful solution. Unity and inclusiveness are key words. Positive transformations happen with inclusion – not exclusion! - Cross-border divides between Israelis and Palestinians Despite their close proximity to one another, Israelis and Palestinians live in almost complete separation. Both sides have little knowledge of each other’s lives and too often are raised to fear and hate each other. It is essential to encourage dialogue and bridge-building activities in a place where joint meetings and get-togethers are difficult and dangerous. The impossible becomes achievable when you listen to the “other”, when you hear their narratives and perspectives and share bread together. Their humanity becomes visible, and your shared dreams of a better future for your children become a powerful, uniting force. - Lack of synergies among the peacebuilders Funds for Israeli and Palestinian peace-building activities are scarce and the challenges on the ground are numerous. This unfortunately creates a climate of competition between peace-building NGOs and movements. Most organizations work in their own bubble and have limited interactions with their peers. B8 of Hope is creating a safe forum for our pool of grantees. They share values and goals, while working separately. Their diversity is an asset, their angles and perspectives can be complementary. Collaboration and partnership make their voice louder. Creating synergies and collaboration opportunities will be a momentous change that will boost the overall impact. This rule also applies to B8 of Hope and its partners in Switzerland, Europe, and the United States. - Polarization outside of Israel and Palestine The Israeli-Palestinian conflict polarizes public opinion outside of Israel and Palestine. We need to put an end to the inflated influence of external factions and interests. Adding more fuel to the conflict is not helpful. Instead, B8 of Hope promotes a “pro-just and peaceful coexistence” perspective and supports the courageous Israelis and Palestinians on the ground that work tirelessly to pave a path for it. We support our Israeli and Palestinian grantees in many ways: - Providing funds for their activities through fund-raising events in Geneva. Our funds come mainly from private Arab, Jewish, international expat, and local Swiss donors. - Giving visibility to initiatives through conferences, documentary screenings followed by Q/A sessions (these include the peace activists and protagonists from the films), and press and media coverage for interviews and articles. - Creating networking opportunities with philanthropic institutions and influential decision-makers. - Offering advice in terms of governance and capacity-building during our due diligence phase and after. We periodically provide an in-depth analysis of our grantees’ reports and management styles, we collaborate with them in order to develop plans to improve infrastructures and put in place capacity-building training. - Providing a safe forum and platform to promote synergy building activities and workshops: this encourages collaboration between the initiatives and increases their impact while saving funds and energy. - Creating a community of supporters abroad that is inspired by their work.

Setting up an email address is a crucial step for anyone who wants to run a website. Having an email address that’s associated with your domain name can give your brand a more professional look, and can help you stay organized and communicate with your audience more effectively. One of the most popular ways to set up an email address is through cPanel, which is a control panel used by many web hosting providers. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up an email address in cPanel. Step 1: Log in to cPanel The first step is to log in to your cPanel account. You can usually access cPanel by typing your domain name followed by “/cpanel” in your web browser. For example, if your domain name is “example.com”, you would type “example.com/cpanel” in your browser. You’ll then be prompted to enter your cPanel username and password. If you don’t have this information, you can contact your web hosting provider to get it. Step 2: Navigate to the “Email Accounts” section Once you’re logged in to cPanel, you’ll see a dashboard with various sections. Look for the “Email” section and click on “Email Accounts”. This will take you to a page where you can create and manage email accounts. Step 3: Create a new email account To create a new email account, click on the “Create” button. You’ll then be taken to a page where you can enter the details for your new email account. First, choose the domain name you want to associate the email address with. If you have multiple domain names, make sure you select the correct one. Next, enter the username you want for your email address. This can be anything you want before the “@” symbol. For example, if you want your email address to be “email@example.com“, you would enter “info” as the username. Step 4: Set a password for your email account After you’ve entered the username for your email account, you’ll need to set a password. Make sure you choose a strong password that’s difficult to guess. You can use a password manager to generate a strong password for you. You’ll also need to confirm the password by typing it again in the “Password (again)” field. Step 5: Set the mailbox size Next, you’ll need to set the mailbox size for your email account. This is the amount of storage space your email account will have. You can choose a size from the drop-down menu, or enter a custom size. If you’re not sure how much space you need, you can start with a small size and increase it later if necessary. Step 6: Click “Create Account” Once you’ve entered all the details for your new email account, click on the “Create Account” button. Your new email account will then be created, and you’ll see a confirmation message on the screen. Step 7: Access your new email account Now that you’ve created your new email account, you can access it by clicking on the “Access Webmail” button next to your email account. This will take you to the webmail interface, where you can send and receive emails. Step 8: Set up your email client If you prefer to use an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, you’ll need to set it up to work with your new email account. To do this, you’ll need to enter the incoming and outgoing server details, as well as your email address and password.

If you also suffer from loud snoring, morning restlessness, morning headaches, and irritability, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep that occurs repeatedly throughout the night. Luckily, there are several sleep apnea treatments available for your sleep apnea in Baltimore, and our team at Spectrum Dental would be more than happy to assist you in finding the best one for you individual needs. There are two main causes of sleep apnea. The first is caused by improper signals being sent by the brain to the muscles that indicate a problem in your nervous system. This is termed central sleep apnea (CSA). The second and most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is caused by relaxation of soft tissue in the back of the throat, blocking the passage of air. OSA is easily treated with an oral appliance designed to keep your throat open. The oral sleep apnea device is a simple, patient-friendly oral appliance created for noninvasive treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. The appliance works by gently moving the jaw/mandible forward, allowing for a greater degree of airway opening. This will often relieve snoring as well. Oral appliances may be easier to use than other treatment options for sleep apnea. They are non-invasive, small, comfortable, and easy to transport. A number of devices are available for sleep apnea treatment from Spectrum Dental. You may need to try different devices before finding one that works for you. Once you find the right fit, you'll still need to follow up with us at least every six months during the first year (and then at least once a year after that) to ensure that the fit is still good and to reassess your symptoms. Sleep apnea in Baltimore is treated uniquely from patient to patient, depending on the cause and severity of illness. Those who experience any symptoms of sleep apnea should not hesitate to contact Spectrum Dental for proper treatment. Immediate diagnosis and care can restore proper sleep and save lives.

How To Remove Stains From Your MLB Jersey If your MLB jersey has a stain, here’s how you can remove it: - Step 1: Pre-treat the stain with a laundry pre-treatment solution. - Step 2: Soak the jersey in cold water for about 10 minutes. - Step 3: Gently rub the stain with a soft brush or a cloth. - Step 4: Rinse the jersey in cold water and hang it to dry. Additional Tips For Washing Your MLB Jersey Here are some additional tips to keep in mind when washing your MLB jersey: - Avoid using hot water, as this can shrink and fade your jersey. - It’s best to wash your jersey inside out to keep the fabric looking its best. - Avoid putting your jersey in the dryer, as this can cause the fabric to shrink and damage the design. - If you’re using a washing machine, make sure to use a gentle cycle.

I have really been struggling to do any arts and crafts with Monkey lately. Now LM is on the move she wants to be involved with everything we are doing and I struggle to come up with activities that both a 1 yr old and a 3 1/2 yr old can enjoy (if you have any, please share them!). She only naps once a day now too and I am generally shattered by that point so not much crafting happens then. We do do things occasionally but I rarely blog about them now and I try not to feel too guilty as Monkey is doing plenty at preschool (he now does 1 full day plus 2 mornings a week) but have really been wanting to do something new and fun with him. Tuesday mornings my parents take LM to a rhyme time group and that has become Mummy & Monkey time so today we have been making a glittery firework picture. Monkey has never seen real fireworks, and has only seen them on cartoons so to start with we watched a youtube clip of a fireworks display and talked about how noisy they are. I also explained about bonfires briefly so we decided to make a picture of a big fire with fireworks around. Monkey helped me tear and cut some red, orange and yellow tissue paper which we then glued to the paper to make the bonfire. Then came the really messy bit. Glitter doesn’t come out in our house too often because it gets everywhere… but you can’t have fireworks without a bit of sparkle now can you? I showed monkey how to glue some lines and shapes on the paper and he chose the colour glitter to use. He loved pouring the glitter on and then tipping it off to reveal the picture underneath, gasping and proclaiming it was “magic!” I tried to keep the mess to a minimum and tip the remaining glitter back into each container but there’s only so much you can do with glitter really. For the most part Monkey wanted me to do the gluing for some reason, but I actually preferred his shapes as they were more random so I really encouraged him to do the gluing. Because he enjoyed it so much we made a couple of other pictures just with fireworks on and I really loved his firework shapes. Monkey loved touching the glitter and wiped it all over his face, saying “look, I’m all lovely and sparkly now!” haha love him. So there we have it, a very simple fireworks picture. I’ve always loved fireworks and adored making pictures like this when I was a kid so look forward to making many more with Monkey and LM as they grow. Monkey is a bit in love with The Lion king at the moment and actually that may be a bit of an understatement. He watched it so many times on holiday (usually on car journeys) that he is now parroting whole scenes at us. “I stuffed, I ate like a pig – you are a pig” and “Look! Stamede! in the norge!” (Stampede in the gorge) His favourite is Scar (should we be worried?)”oh come on uncle scarf” “oh no no no no” “oh you are a naughty boy” and of course, he likes to roar, a lot! Another really funny phrase he has picked up on is where Timoon says a bug tastes like a pecan. He now randomly tells us his food tastes like “peacorn” lol. Not sure what that is supposed to taste like! I do love The Lion King and we did encourage him to watch it (who doesn’t like singing along with Hakuna Matata??) but there is a limit to how many times I can watch it. What I did feel we could do instead though was make some Paper Plate Lions. I’ve never made any paper plate animals before and thought this was a good place to start, and capitalise on his current love of lions. (I know from previous loves that they never last long – in fact I think he may already be moving on to Monsters Inc!) The paper plates we were using were pretty shiny, so I mixed some PVA glue in with the paint and thought that would help it stick. Sadly it didn’t and I assume I didn’t get the quantities right? I have never tried to paint on plasticky surfaces before and think I would try it with more glue next time! Anyway because that really wasn’t working I thought we should paint the back of one of the paper plates too – which worked much better. While the paint was drying a little Monkey helped me cut some strips of orange card out for the main – he adores practising with his scissors and it is good for him to learn how to do it properly. We did have some that ended up being interesting shapes – but I have long ago learned that my perfectionist self has no real place with toddler/pre-school crafts! I then curled the strips of card a little with the scissors (think curling ribbon) which I think worked quite well. I did try and stick some strips onto the plasticky plates too but they really refused to stick – but on the papery side it worked much better. We had to leave them for a day to dry. I debated cutting out holes for eyes to make it a mask but Monkey said no when I suggested it. I asked if he wanted to draw eyes but he asked to stick some on. As we had run out of googly eyes I said I would draw them – at which point Monkey insisted I draw grumpy eyes and a grumpy face – not a smily face! (I said he likes Scar the best!!). He helped glue those on, made sure I made some ears, and drew on some cheeks (:)) and ouila! One Paper Plate Lion 🙂 Monkey adores it and loves running around making it roar at everyone! Just great fun 🙂 Do your kids like being lions? Do they come out with any funny phrases from films/tv? When I knew that we were soon headed to London to see the Sensational Butterflies exhibition I knew I wanted to do some related crafting with Monkey in preparation. So I googled a few things and got some lovely inspiration from Twitter (thanks guys!) and then gave Monkey the option of making butterflies or caterpillars. He chose caterpillars so I showed him a few pictures online of different ones we could make – finger painting, pom poms etc, but he chose the ones made from egg boxes and tissue paper. So I duly cut up an egg box (we have the big long 12 egg boxes and I’m not sure they are the best ones for the job as they were slightly one-sided caterpillars but it sufficed anyway) and some tissue paper, dug out some googly eyes from the bottom of the craft draw and we set off doing Monkey’s favourite thing – gluing and sticking!! As mentioned I don’t think our egg boxes are the best ones so we tried making them two different ways – first with a long caterpillar but with holes down one side, and second with a short one as I folded the row in half and then taped it together. I’m not sure which is best or if it makes much difference actually, Monkey loved making both! The first I chose the colours (note The Very Hungry Caterpillar theme) but the second one was Monkey’s choice and it had to be all red (his favourite colour). Googly eyes were stuck on, and apparently they needed to have a smily face too, and I wasn’t sure what to use so I just grabbed a couple of pipe cleaners, snipped short lengths to be bent into shape and we glued them on, which I don’t think looks too bad really! We did then go on to do a bit of butterfly craft too, in Nanny’s birthday card. It was the first time we had done the traditional, paint one side and fold together, butterfly painting, but actually he did really well with it! He painted in the lines I told him too and splodged some lovely patterns on the right hand side and it looked lovely after folding toegther. then of course we had to do some more gluing and sticking with sequins and give it a smily face using some glitter glue 🙂
Pilsner Malt is a type of pale lager malt made from two-row spring barley that is always highly modified (i.e., good protein degradation) during malting and is kilned to an exceptionally blonde color value of no more than 2.5 to 4 European Brewery Convention (EBC; approx. 1.5° to 2.1° Lovibond). Pale ale malts, by comparison, tend to have a color rating of about 5 to 7 EBC (approximately 2° to 3° Lovibond). Pilsner malt is named after the world’s first blonde lager, the pilsner, developed in the Bohemian city of Pilsen in 1842. See pilsen (plzeň). The base malt of that original Pilsner was made from Haná (also spelled Hanna or Hannah), a common barley variety then grown in Bohemia and Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic). Many of the best modern brewing barley varieties cultivated around the world, including those for pilsner malt, are genetic descendants of the old Haná strain. See haná (barley). In the brewhouse, good pilsner malt should have excellent processing characteristics, including favorable total protein and glucan levels, outstanding enzymatic strength for the conversion of unfermentable grain starches into fermentable malt sugars, excellent lautering properties, and high extract yields. See lautering. Because pilsner malt provides the finished beer with a delicate maltiness, a substantial body and mouthfeel, as well as good foam development and head retention, it is a versatile base malt that is popular not only in traditional pilsner beers and their modern variations but also in low-alcohol beers, light beers, and many blonde Belgian beers, both ales and lagers. See base malt and mouthfeel. In finished beer, the flavor of pilsner malt tends to be soft, round, direct, and sweetly malty, where pale ale malts will give more color along with toasty, biscuity notes.
Out in the open young adults appreciate and learn to respect Written by Captain Hops. References: It’s pretty obvious as demonstrated by every other civilized country in the world that people have a greater respect and appreciation for alcohol and are less likely to abuse it when they learn to enjoy it in a safe, responsible, and nurturing environment with their families. There is a movement afoot to begin debate on returning personal responsibility and sensible drinking laws to the national landscape. Organizations have formed to shed some refreshing light on the misleading, misused, and outright wrong statistics bandied about to support the neoprohibitionist movement. Educate yourself and choose responsibility. Thing of the Day: Rick Steves’ Europe Through the Back Door 2007: The Travel Skills Handbook
US Special Op forces recovered bodies, body parts and at least a hundred surviving children from a tunnel system beneath the White House and Capitol Building in Washington DC on Fri. 29 Jan. In the early morning hours as body bags were being delivered, multiple troops were seen coming out of the White House with at least a hundred children in tow. The children were believed to have been sexually abused, tortured and killed by political elites in an elaborate tunnel system that ran beneath Capitol Hill and connected to other systems for 200 miles. All was thought part of an international Child Trafficking Ring run by global and political elites with ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s Pedophile Island – that lay next door to Joe Biden’s Water Island. A couple of days later in the early morning hours of Mon. 1 Feb. and with the US functioning under Martial Law, Joe Biden and 464 elected government officials were said arrested and released inside the Capitol Hill area. Capitol Hill had been surrounded in eight foot high barbed wire fencing since Inauguration Day 20 Jan. Washington DC remained guarded by over 30,000 National Guard troops. Lines of buses with darkened windows took the children away. On Fri. morning 5 Feb. Dr. Charlie Ward confirmed from his people on the ground at Capitol Hill that the Military did, in fact, rescue children found in rooms and tunnels constructed underneath the White House. Black vans and buses with darkened windows picked up the children for medical treatment and de briefing. Evidently they discovered multiple corpses and a lot of body bags were going into the area. See video: Pedophile Ring Investigation Centers Around White House, Capitol Building as Children Surface! – Must Video | Opinion – Conservative | Before It’s News Since Oct. 2019 tortured, malnourished children and corpses in the tens of thousands have been found in a sophisticated network of Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMBS) that ran beneath the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Asia and across Europe. For over a year US Special Forces had been in training for the rescue missions which began on Oct. 16 2019 with the rescue of caged babies and children beneath the China Lake Navy facility in California. A military operation of 10,000 Marines and Navy Seals rescued an unbelievable 2,100 children being held in cages in underground tunnels at China Lake.

The Ripple XRP price has increased since completing its double bottom pattern on Sept. 12. However, the upward movement could not be sustained and the XRP price is at risk of breaking down below the $0.49 support area. XRP Creates Bullish Pattern – Fails to Sustain Increase The daily time frame technical analysis for XRP shows that the price has increased since Sept. 11. The increase completed a double bottom, considered a bullish pattern. After the double bottom, XRP began the current upward movement, which is still ongoing. Read More: Best Crypto Sign-Up Bonuses in 2023. After the second bottom, XRP broke out from a descending resistance line that had been in place since the yearly high in July. Due to these two bullish developments, the XRP price was expected to increase significantly after the breakout. However, this was not the case. The upward movement culminated with a high of $0.52 on September 20 and the price has fallen since, rapidly approaching its pre-breakout levels. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) gives a mixed reading, though it is leaning bullish. While the RSI is increasing, it has not moved above 50 yet. However, the double bottom pattern was combined with bullish divergence in the RSI, something which preceded the entire breakout. The RSI is a momentum indicator used by traders to evaluate whether a market is overbought or oversold, and to determine whether to accumulate or sell an asset. Readings above 50 and an upward trend suggest that bulls still have an advantage, while readings below 50 indicate the opposite. In any case, the RSI has to move and stay above 50 to confirm the bullish trend reversal. XRP Price Prediction: Bounce or Breakdown? Similar to the daily time frame, the six-hour one offers mixed readings. On the bullish side, XRP has reclaimed the $0.49 horizontal area after previously falling below it (red circle). Currently, it seems to be in the process of validating it as support. However, the price has also broken down from a short-term ascending support line. This is a bearish sign that suggests the previous upward movement has now ended. Moreover, the six-hour RSI has fallen below 50 (red icon) and is decreasing. Therefore, if the XRP price falls below the $0.49 horizontal support area, it can decrease by another 7% and reach the $0.46 support. On the other hand, a strong bounce can take the price to the previous ascending support line at $0.52. This would be an increase of 5%. It is worth mentioning that there is no major news regarding the Ripple vs. SEC case. In less important news, Ben Armstrong, alias BitBoy, is asking for XRP donations to fund his legal action against the parent company of the BitBoy Crypto brand which recently fired him. To conclude, the future XRP price prediction will be determined by whether the price breaks down from the $0.49 horizontal support area or bounces. A 5% increase can occur in case of a bounce while a 7% drop is likely if the price breaks down. For BeInCrypto’s latest crypto market analysis, click here.

Who is the 1st rapper in the world? Coke La Rock, often credited as hip-hop’s first MC cites the Last Poets among his influences, as well as comedians such as Wild Man Steve and Richard Pryor. Who is the most well known rapper? Who is the most famous rapper of all time? Eminem, obviously. 2pac, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Biggie, Dr.Dre. They are the most well known all around. The fact that snoop isn’t mentioned yet is crazy. Dude is on tv shows, movies, commercials. Who is fastest rapper ever? Marshall Bruce Mathers III or simply Eminem is a rapper from Missouri, raised in Detroit. He is often considered to be the fastest rapper of all time, and it is not a coincidence. Who was the first rap DJ? DJ Kool Herc DJ Kool Herc is credited with throwing the first hip hop party in 1973 in the Bronx. Who was the first hip hop DJ? Puerto Rican DJ Disco Wiz is credited as the first hip hop DJ to create a “mixed plate,” or mixed dub recording, when, in 1977, he combined sound bites, special effects and paused beats to technically produce a sound recording. The first hip hop record is widely regarded to be the Sugarhill Gang ‘s “Rapper’s Delight”, from 1979. What was the first rap record? That first rap record was, of course, the 1979 single Rapper’s Delight, from the Sugarhill Gang. Although other records had incorporated rapping, Rapper’s Delight was the first single to bring hip-hop to a mainstream audience. Playing on hits from Chic and Love De-Luxe, the track took disco and turned it inside-out. Where did hip-hop come from? The roots of hip-hop are in reggae and dancehall, as DJ Kool Herc and Cindy Campbell are of Jamaican descent. Back in 1973, Herc and emcee Coke LaRock borrowed elements from Jamaican sound systems and toasters, thus birthing the sound of hip-hop. Who were the DJs in the 1970s? The 1970s allowed all the DJs to flourish, including other Bronx-based legends like Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. And although throughout the ’70s, the DJ was the dominant force, the MC also rose to prominence. Kurtis Blow was the first rapper signed to Mercury Records in 1979. Who were the first 5 rappers? The major pioneers of rapping were Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, and the Cold Crush Brothers, whose Grandmaster Caz is controversially considered by some to be the true author of some of the strongest lyrics in “Rapper’s Delight.” These early MCs and deejays constituted rap’s old school. Who started rap 50 years ago? On August 11, 1973, the first elements of hip-hop emerged when Clive Campbell, also known as DJ Kool Herc, played music at his sister’s back-to-school party in the Bronx, showcasing his innovative turntable skills. When did rap become a thing? Fifty years ago, though, that outcome seemed fanciful at best. In the 1970s, Bronx block parties gave way to nightclubs, and talking D.J.s laid the foundation for dedicated M.C.s to begin taking over. Soon, the intrusion of capitalism removed and packaged the part of these live events that was the easiest to transmit: rapping. When did hip hop start? This timeline of hip hop culture traces the beginning of the movement in the 1970s to the early 1980s.

The art form has since touched every corner of our world and evolved into one of the most significant cultural forces today. 50 Years of Hip-Hop, hosted by KEXP’s Larry Mizell Jr, celebrates the anniversary by highlighting a different year of its history each week. How did rap music evolve? Rap music (also referred to as rap or hip-hop music) evolved in conjunction with the cultural movement called hip-hop. Rap emerged as a minimalist street sound against the backdrop of the heavily orchestrated and formulaic music coming from the local house parties to dance clubs in the early 1970s. Who first started rap music? Rap began in 1971, in the Bronx, with Kool Herc, who was from Jamaica. At block parties, Kool Herc would play two turntables by hand and manipulate the sound to create an entirely new sound, while he rapped the lyrics from the song he was playing. When did rap music start? The Jubalaires and other African-American singing groups during the blues, jazz, and gospel era are examples of the origins and development of rap music. Grammy-winning blues musician/historian Elijah Wald and others have argued that the blues were being rapped as early as the 1920s. What is rap music called? This backing music, which can include digital sampling (music and sounds extracted from other recordings by a DJ), is also called hip-hop, the name used to refer to a broader cultural movement that includes rap, deejaying (turntable manipulation), graffiti painting, and break dancing. ^ “The Boston Globe 27 Jul 1992, page 52”. Who was the first DJ and founder of hip-hop? While a number of people were influential in the creation of hip-hop, much credit is given to Kool Herc (Clive Campbell), a Jamaican immigrant who was the first major hip-hop disc jockey. Who was the founder of hip hop? One of the most influential hip hop pioneers was DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican immigrant regarded as the founding father of hip hop. Kool Herc made history in 1973 when he and his sister hosted the “Back to School Jam” in the recreation room of their Bronx apartment building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue. Who were the most influential hip hop pioneers? Several people were influential in creating hip hop. However, the most notable pioneers are DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. These three innovators are known as the “Holy Trinity” of hip hop. One of the most influential hip hop pioneers was DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican immigrant regarded as the founding father of hip hop. When was hip hop music first recorded? The earliest hip hop music was performed live, at house parties and block party events, and it was not recorded. Prior to 1979, recorded hip hop music consisted mainly of PA system soundboard recordings of live party shows and early hip hop mixtapes by DJs. What was the first DJ hit record? The first DJ hit record was Fire Corner by Coxsone’s Downbeat sound system DJ, King Stitt that same year; 1970 saw a multitude of DJ hit records in the wake of U-Roy’s early, massive hits, most famously Wake the Town and many others.

More Than 400 Youth Graduate from YOTA, NVTI, Soft and Technical Skills Training Programme More than 400 young people were officially graduated after receiving soft skills and technical skills training through the Paseway project being implemented by the Youth Opportunity and Transformation in Africa ( YOTA), Plan International and the National Vocational Training Institute( NVTI). As part of the project, 200 young women with no prior skills in the construction sector were taken through a 6- month- long intensive training in interior decoration, tiling, plumbing, P.O.P installation, electrical work and painting. About 250 other young men and women, who had prior skills in the construction sector but were without certification examinations. Project Coordinator, Eric Saforo in his address, said the project partners were proud of the achievement of the beneficiaries who form the second cohort of the project. He said all the beneficiaries, as part of the project, will be given internship opportunities leading to permanent job opportunities with construction companies. We are here to celebrate those who have gone through the technical skills training and also those who have gone through the recognition of prior learning. We will put you into internship, and we will find jobs for you. We are working with construction companies and construction associations to help get internship and jobs. he assured the participants, adding that, they must approach their jobs with a positive attitude. He revealed that YOTA is currently supporting about 1,200 young people in the Greater Accra Metropolitan area through technical skills and soft skills. One of the soft trainers, Anna Mills, advised the graduates to put into practice all that they’re learnt in the course of the training. She further urged women to be bold and not look down on themselves as they transition into the world of work. I want to encourage the participants to keep what they’ve learnt during the training at heart.To the women, be bold and value what you’ve gained but be humble and learn more but don’t look down on you just because you are a woman, Dare to be excellent and don’t compare yourself to others,” she urged. All the graduates received certificates of completion. The Pathways for Sustainable Employment Opportunities for Women and Youth in Ghana(PASEWAY) project is being funded by the German government.

Donald Trump took a preemptive victory lap in Nevada on Saturday, 12 days before he is expected to sweep the state’s delegates in Nevada’s Feb. 8 Republican presidential caucuses. After his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, the former president held a “Commit to Caucus” rally in Las Vegas Saturday afternoon. The former president is still battling Nikki Haley for the Republican nomination as they compete in the Feb. 24 primary in her home state of South Carolina. But in a situation that has proved confusing for many Nevada voters, Trump and Haley’s names are not appearing on the same ballot in two separate Nevada contests, which will take place more than two weeks before the South Carolina primary. Trump is now the only major candidate competing in the Nevada caucuses, the contest run by the state Republican Party that will award the state’s 26 delegates. “With the help of everyone here today, we’re going to secure a gigantic win in the Nevada caucuses,” Trump said Saturday. “We’re not going to have a lot of competition, I think, but it doesn’t matter. We want to get a great, beautiful mandate.” Haley — who was facing a potentially embarrassing loss to Trump in a caucus that is likely to be dominated by GOP base voters loyal to the former president — opted not to compete in that contest. Instead, she placed her name on the ballot in the state-run primary that will take place two days earlier on Feb. 6, a contest that Nevada Republican leaders have described as a waste of taxpayer dollars. Haley’s vote tally will be largely symbolic because no Republican delegates will be awarded through the primary process. Haley, a former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor, is the only remaining major GOP presidential contender on the primary ballot, which all Nevada voters are receiving in the mail. Former vice president Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) had also planned to compete in the primary, but both have since suspended their campaigns. Primary voters also have an option to choose “none of these candidates” when they fill out their ballot. Trump told his audience on Saturday that the primary was irrelevant: “Don’t waste your time on primary, waste all of your time on caucus,” he said. “Because the primary doesn’t mean anything.” Under rules that were designed by Trump allies who control Nevada’s Republican Party, presidential candidates were barred from competing in both the state-run primary and the party-run GOP caucuses — and had to choose one or the other. “Talk to the people in Nevada, they will tell you the caucuses have been sealed up, bought and paid for a long time. So that’s why we got into the primary,” Haley said when asked by reporters last week why she wasn’t participating in the Nevada caucuses. “That’s the Trump train rolling through that. But we’re going to focus on the states that are fair.” Introducing the former president at the rally on Saturday, Michael McDonald, the Nevada Republican Party chair, said he had recently talked to Trump: “I guarantee you Nevada will show up and we will deliver you 100 percent of delegates for the state in Nevada to Donald Trump.” Jim DeGraffenreid, a Republican National Committee member in Nevada, defended the party’s rules and its effort to opt out of the state-run primary. He said the candidates were “very clear with us that they didn’t have a lot of interest in competing in two separate contests in the same state,” adding that it “made sense all around to say candidates would need to compete in one or the other — and we would award delegates only out of one of them.” DeGraffenreid said that Republican Party officials did not agree with the rules governing the primary process that were crafted by Democratic lawmakers: “We don’t agree with sending out universal mail-in ballots that maybe go to voters who are no longer here,” he said. “ … We obviously will play by those rules in a state election where we’re required to do it. But in the party nominating process, we didn’t feel like it made any sense for us to loosen the security of that election.” Still, DeGraffenreid acknowledged that the existence of two contests has created significant confusion. He said the party received more than 900 voice mails on Thursday night alone — with many voters expressing confusion about why Trump is not on their primary ballot. Last year, the Trump campaign engaged in an intensive state-by-state effort to influence state party leaders and shape party rules to improve his chances of amassing as many delegates as possible and wrapping up the nomination fight early. State party rules and leaders determine the processes that lead to the selection of presidential nominating delegates. During that state-by-state courtship, Nevada Republican Party leaders were invited to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club where they discussed the 2024 caucuses process and the politics of the state, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private meeting. Late last year, a Nevada grand jury charged six Republicans who claimed to be presidential electors in 2020 and submitted certificates to Congress falsely asserting that Trump had won the election in their state. The group included McDonald and DeGraffenreid. Nevada’s unusual situation this year — with both a primary and caucuses a few days apart — stemmed from Republicans’ objections to a 2021 law championed by the state’s Democrats and passed by the legislature mandating that major political parties with more than one candidate hold a primary on the first Tuesday in February. Republican leaders in the state, some of whom had echoed Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election results, objected to holding a primary at taxpayer expense and to the fact that every voter would receive a ballot in the mail, among other issues. The Republican Party of Nevada sued the state, seeking an order that would allow the party to opt out of the state primary and keep their caucuses. In the lawsuit, filed by Republican National Committee member and attorney Sigal Chattah, the Nevada GOP argued that the 2021 law mandating the state-run primary violated the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of association. Political parties, the lawsuit said, “are self-governed and not subject to state interference/influence as to how its presidential candidates are chosen.” The party ultimately dropped its lawsuit after the judge sided with the attorney general’s office allowing the primary to proceed. But the judge affirmed the Nevada GOP’s right to hold caucuses and to award delegates as they pleased through that contest. The GOP caucuses are conducted in person. In the primary, every registered voter in Nevada will receive a ballot in the mail and may also cast their ballot at early voting locations between Saturday and Friday, or on Feb. 6 at their polling location. President Biden appears on the Democratic primary ballot along with author Marianne Williamson. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who has challenged Biden in some states, is not participating in Nevada. Amy Gardner and Dylan Wells contributed to this report.
When you think about it, your bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your home. Not only does it need to function as a place to pee and poop, but it needs to be clean and hygienic as well. Unfortunately, bathrooms can sometimes be overlooked in terms of maintenance, which can lead to costly problems down the road. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the hidden costs of having a bathroom and how you can prevent them from happening. What’s Included in a Plumbing Service?

There are a few things to consider when it comes to plumbing leaks: the location of the leak, the severity of the leak, and how likely it is that the leak will cause harm. Leaks can be in any area of your home, but they’re more common in bathrooms and kitchens. Look for leaks around faucets, sinks, toilets, showers and bathtubs. A small leak can slowly fill up with water and cause a lot of damage over time. A bigger or more severe leak can overflow and cause serious flooding. A leaking faucet may not cause any harm if it’s just dripping mildly all day long. But if the water is constantly gushing out and causing flooding, you could be putting your family at risk. Look for signs of flooding – like standing water on the floor – to determine whether a leak is causing a problem. How To Fix a Leak If you have a dripping or flooding issue in your bathroom, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem. If the issue is small and can be solved with a plunger and buckets, then by all means try that first. If the problem is more serious or if it’s outside of your DIY abilities, then hiring a professional plumber may be the best option for you. Here are some of the hidden costs of hiring a plumber: Estimated price range: From $75 to $175 per hour. Costs associated with travel time (if necessary to get to your home) .

Look for blockages in pipes and drainage systems. These can be caused by debris, leaves, twigs and other objects that have built up over time.
I just purchased a eufyCam E system, and so far I like it very much. It replaced a 1st generation Arlo system that has been updated by newer models. One of the features I did like about the Arlo system is that I could log onto my cameras using my desktop (Windows) computer. This was very convenient. Can the Eufy system do this also? It’s not a dealbreaker, but, like I said, it was very convenient. I guess you could do a very round about way of getting an Android emulator like Andy and then downloading the android app so you could view it on your computer? @eufy_cams2 You can access the live stream and cloud stored footage via the web portal https://mysecurity.eufylife.com but you will require a browser which supports flash player. Hopefully they will develop a more comprehensive method of accessing footage on desktops but they do have quite a growing list of features requested / announced which have yet to make an appearance. Thanks. I’ll give it a try. @eufy_cams2 don’t get surprised when you log into the portal on desktop, it will kick you out of the app on phone. So, you have to login again into the app. Also, only live sreaming works with the portal, unless you have a subscription to eufy cloud storage, you cannot view the recordings. Yes please add Desktop support and it would be nice to be able to integrate with Hubitat too!
Just a suggestion, most of us loved photography and mobile filming just wondering if you guys can make good quality mobile lenses for our mobile and Mobile Gimbal Stabilizer. I suggested this a while back, but no response from anker It will be great if they will create this kind of stuff Thank you for your idea. At Anker, anything could be possible. However, only when we know enough about a new field, will we join the market competition. Thank you for your response i have a question … i will be working at anker here nextweek. do you have any ideas for training here? yeah lenses would be really nice Oh really? Where do you work? Here in UAE, thats why i need to more about this product.
I recently purchased these Liberty Air 2 earbuds. Brilliant audio quality, battery life, etc. My only issue is with making and receiving phone calls or using any app that needs me to speak such as WhatsApp or Zoom. Making/receiving such calls works perfectly: I can hear the other party and they can hear me. No issues with audio quality or connectivity. But I can’t hear my own voice. The earbuds are such a great fit they really do block out all external sound. For this use, this makes the earbuds no good at all. I’ve not tried using just a single bud, maybe that’s the solution? Hardly a great experience, though. I’ll add that I have a pair of Bose Bluetooth wireless earphones and while they let me hear my own voice, the latency is terrible with a gap of about half a second from speaking to hearing my voice. Not good at all. Is that likely to be the case as well with the Liberty Air 2 earbuds? I’ll also add that I love these earbuds! You make a fine product and I’m well satisfied with them as a great way to listen to music, watch streaming video, etc. They’ve become my primary method of consuming such content on a tablet or smartphone, no more earphones.

Two Canadian tech companies, D2L and E Automotive, began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today. Kitchener-Waterloo-based EdTech company D2L began trading under the symbol ‘DTOL,’ generating $150 million in gross proceeds from its IPO. The offering saw 5.4 million shares by D2L and a secondary offering of 3.3 million shares from the Desire2Learn Employee Stock Trust, with each subordinate voting share priced at $17 CAD. E Automotive (E Inc) also joined the growing roster of Canadian tech companies that have gone public on the TSX since this summer. It began trading today under the symbol ‘EINC,’ and expects to close its IPO on November 10. The company is offering 5.9 million shares each priced at $23, for gross proceeds of $135.7 million. UPDATE 10/11/2021: E Inc. has closed its IPO, selling 5.9 million common shares priced at $23 per share. The company generated $135.7 million CAD in gross proceeds. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, E Inc. could receive an additional $20.35 million. Since July 2020, the TSX has seen a streak of Canadian tech IPOs. Including E Automotive and D2L, 19 tech firms have gone public on the exchange during this period, compared to 12 in the previous 11 years ending December 2019, according to The Globe and Mail. Despite this trend, the performance of recent Canadian tech IPOs has been mixed, as some, like Q4, have been forced to cut the size and pricing of their offerings, and continue to trade below their issue price. Ahead of its TSX listing, D2L also reduced the size and pricing of its IPO, originally planning to sell about 9.5 million to 10.5 million shares, with each being sold within the $19 to $21 price range, for about $200 million in potential gross proceeds. RELATED: D2L cuts size, pricing of TSX IPO According to The Globe, D2L decided to reduce the size and pricing of its offering in a bid to complete its IPO, better reflect demand for its offering, and incentivize institutions who had agreed to buy in to stay committed. TD Securities Inc. and BMO Capital Markets co-led D2L’s offering as underwriters and bookrunners, joined with Canaccord Genuity Corp., Raymond James Ltd., RBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc. and Eight Capital. The underwriters have also been granted an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,323,750 subordinate voting shares from D2L at a price of $17.00 per share. If the option is exercised in full, D2L would receive $22.5 million in additional capital. Founded in 1999 by CEO and president John Baker, a then 22-year-old University of Waterloo engineering student, D2L was bootstrapped until 2012, when it secured $80 million in venture financing. The company is the developer behind Brightspace, a cloud-based software platform for the delivery of courses, learning-based games, and assessments online or in-person. D2L serves 970 K-12, higher education, and corporate customers, comprising over 14 million users across more than 40 countries. D2L’s clients include many of Canada’s universities and colleges. D2L (formerly Desire2Learn) intends to use the funds from the treasury portion of the offering to “strengthen its financial position and pursue its growth strategies.” Approximately $20 million CAD of the net proceeds from D2L’s IPO will repay a loan the firm made to a holding company affiliated with Baker earlier this year. The prospectus states this loan was designed to cover $16.6 million in outstanding income tax liabilities connected to a 2012 share distribution that included three of Baker’s siblings, after a 2016 audit by the Canada Revenue Agency. These proceeds will also see these siblings pay $3.6 million in relation to the exercise of D2L share options. E Inc originally filed to go public mid-October, with its offering made through a group of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., CIBC Capital Markets and National Bank Financial Inc., joined by Scotiabank, Eight Capital, ATB Capital Markets Inc. and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. The Toronto-based auto retail company created its digital vehicle marketplace EDealer in 2004, which allows dealers to track vehicle inventory and make it available to potential buyers through a digital showroom. In 2016, E Inc launched EBlock, a live auction platform for car dealers and buyers. According to E Inc. CEO Jason McClenahan, the company currently has a compounded annual growth rate of 97 percent over the past three years. Its prospectus stated that it generated approximately $1.3 billion USD in gross transaction value in the last 12 months ending on June 30. McClenahan also states in the prospectus that E Inc. intends to direct its “rapid trajectory of growth” to the United States by introducing new products. Additionally, the auto retailer also plans to use the proceeds from the IPO to bolster its acquisition strategy. Most recently, it completed its acquisition of Auto Buyline Systems to strengthen its position in the US West Coast, and also bolster its presence in Quebec through the purchases of ESP and TradeHelper.

Several low cost carriers fly at Katowice Airport as an alternative to Krakow. This usually saves a lot on airfare, but keep in mind that Katowice Airport is located 100 kilometers from the city of Krakow. There’s no train station near the airport, so take a 1.5 hour journey by bus or taxi into account. Below are the best options for travelling from Katowice Airport to Krakow. If you want to get from the airport in Katowice to Krakow, there are two good travel options: a special airport taxi and the airport bus. You can also hop into a regular cab at the airport, but those have higher rates and chauffeurs may not speak English. Alternatively there are several options to rent a car already at Katowice airport, and make your own way to Krakow. Taxi from Katowice Airport You can pre-book an airport taxi from Katowice to Krakow. This will cost you around € 80 (£72) one-way. This taxi is suitable for 4 persons. Reserving for more people through that website will set you back for around € 115 (£103). A minibus can hold up to 6 people, making this a very good deal when traveling with a group from Katowice. The company checks your flight number to make sure your driver is waiting when you arrive, even if there’s a delay. They have English speaking drivers. The chauffeur will drop you off at your hotel or apartment within the city. Their website allows you to pay with PayPal or credit card. Katowice Airport by bus The minibuses from Matuszek take you from the airport to Katowice city centre or Krakow. You’ll arrive at the main train station in Krakow. From there, you have to find your own way to the hotel either by taxi, bus, tram or on foot. A one-way bus ticket is € 11 (£9) per person. The busses try to follow the flight schedules of Ryanair and Wizz air as close as possible. Book at least 2 days in advance via their website. Car rental Katowice Airport Are you planning to drive a rental car in Krakow? You can choose to pick up the car at Katowice airport at arrival and drive yourself to Krakow. Through Sunny Cars you can rent cars for as low as € 40 a day. A bigger car will cost you less than € 50. The car can be returned to Katowice Airport when flying back home. Keep some change handy for the tollbooths ons the way to Krakow. Last update: 4th July 2020
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a new warning about the Big Olaf Creamery ice cream recall. It’s tied to an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes that had already caused multiple deaths. The agency is concerned that retailers may still be selling Big Olaf ice cream products. It’s urging those companies to dispose of the Big Olaf ice cream supply. With that in mind, it’s urgent that you make note of this warning and avoid buying any recalled ice cream. And people who already have recalled Big Olaf ice cream at home should not eat it. Big Olaf Creamery ice cream recall Per WFLA, Big Olaf Creamery issued a recall for its Sarasota line of products on July 8th. That’s when the company stopped production at the facility. The information comes from the Florida Department of Health (FL DOH). The FDA notes in its warning that it is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FL DOH, and the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) to investigate the Listeria outbreak. Epidemiological information from the CDC and FL DOH indicate that Big Olaf products are the likely source of the outbreak. A total of 23 people from 10 states got the Listeria strain. Of 18 people who authorities had interviewed, all reported eating this particular brand of ice cream. The FDA says in its Listeria outbreak warning that 22 people have been hospitalized so far. According to the CDC investigation, the first cases date back to January 2021. The agencies have registered one adult death and one miscarriage so far. Why Listeria is dangerous Listeria monocytogenes is often a cause of food product recalls. The bacteria can survive and grow on refrigerated products like the Big Olaf ice cream in this recall. In healthy individuals, the bacteria will typically cause mild symptoms that can include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. More severe versions of the illness can lead to headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Symptoms often appear a few days after consuming a contaminated product. But can sometimes take several weeks for symptoms to present themselves. Young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised people might risk developing a potentially fatal illness. Moreover, pregnant women risk miscarriages, stillbirths, and baby infections. WFLA noted the case of a Massachusetts woman who suffered a miscarriage after eating Big Olaf ice cream. Her family is now suing the company. A family of an Illinois woman who died following a Listeria infection is also suing the company. Big Olaf said in a recent statement that nothing has been proven at this point. Big Olaf Company’s response “For now it is only speculation as it is an ongoing investigation, our brand has not been confirmed to be linked to these cases, I am not sure why only Big Olaf is being mentioned and targeted,” Big Olaf Company wrote in a statement on Facebook. The statement continues, “The original report we got from the Florida Department of Health on Friday July 1st, was that there are 23 cases reported, the first one reported was January 2021. 6 out of the 23 patients mentioned having consumed Big Olaf ice cream, but nothing has been proven. We have been cooperating with the Florida Department of Health, FDACS and the FDA as soon as we were informed about the situation. We have been transparent and have answered all their questions and provided them with all the information requested from us, as the health and well being of the public is our first priority.” What you should do If you own any Big Olaf ice cream products from this recall, you should heed the FDA’s advice and throw them out immediately. Make sure you clean all the surfaces the ice cream might have come in contact with to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and infection. The FDA has handling and cleaning advice at this link. People who experience symptoms that might point to a Listeria infection should contact a doctor. Testing will be required to determine whether the Listeria bacteria is the culprit. You won’t find a recall notice on the Big Olaf website. But you can find contact information for the company if you have any related concerns.

Stuttering, also known as stammering, is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases as well as involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the person who stutters is unable to produce sounds. The term stuttering is most commonly associated with involuntary sound repetition, but it also encompasses the abnormal hesitation or pausing before speech, referred to by people who stutter as blocks, and the prolongation of certain sounds, usually vowels or semivowels. For many people who stutter, repetition is the primary problem. Blocks and prolongations are learned mechanisms to mask repetition, as the fear of repetitive speaking in public is often the main cause of psychological unease. The term “stuttering” covers a wide range of severity, encompassing barely perceptible impediments that are largely cosmetic to severe symptoms that effectively prevent oral communication.

Is the Genesis Apocryphon real? The Genesis Apocryphon was the most damaged out of the first four scrolls found in Cave 1 making the publication history difficult, lengthy yet interesting. The scroll is dated palaeographical to 25 BCE through 50 CE which coincides with the radiocarbon dating estimate of 89 BCE-118 CE. What books are missing from the Dead Sea Scrolls? The Dead Sea Scrolls include fragments from every book of the Old Testament except for the Book of Esther. Scholars have speculated that traces of this missing book, which recounts the story of the eponymous Jewish queen of Persia, either disintegrated over time or have yet to be uncovered. What is the Book of Enoch found in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Aramaic fragments of many parts of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, as were Hebrew fragments of the Book of Noah, either one of the sources of Enoch or a parallel elaboration of the same material. Passages of the Book of Noah were included in Enoch by its redactor (editor). Is there a book of Noah? The Book of Noah is thought to be a non-extant Old Testament pseudepigraphal work, attributed to Noah. It is quoted in several places in another pseudepigraphal work, 1 Enoch, and is mentioned in another, the Book of Jubilees. There have also been fragments attributed to a Book of Noah in the Dead Sea Scrolls. When were the Dead Sea scrolls hidden? The Scrolls appear to be the library of a Jewish sect which was hidden away in caves around the outbreak of the Jewish-Roman War (66 C.E.). Does the Vatican have Dead Sea Scrolls? The scrolls, written on treated leather hides in Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew, were produced in the years when Christianity was taking shape on the eve of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. They will remain on show at the Vatican’s library for three months. What is the Genesis Apocryphon? The Genesis Apocryphon was one of the seven major scrolls found at Qumran in Cave 1. It is one of the collection in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which has over 800 documents in fragmentary form. Is the Apocryphon the source for jubilees? Because the scroll also contains material related to that found in First Book of Enoch, the Genesis Apocryphon was possibly the source for both Jubilees and 1 Enoch. Written in Palestine in Aramaic, the scroll is the earliest example of a pseudepigraphal work in that language and is important for the study of its linguistic development. What is the size of the Apocryphon? It is 13 inches in length and 2.75 inches in width at its widest point in the middle. The Genesis Apocryphon was one of the seven major scrolls found at Qumran in Cave 1. It is one of the collection in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which has over 800 documents in fragmentary form. What are the three books of the Apocryphon? It can be separated into books; the Book of Lamech, the Book of Noah and the Book of Abraham. The Genesis Apocryphon is largely based upon 1 Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and Genesis and therefore was most likely written after them.
We can explore the farthest reaches of the Universe, but can’t even complete our own cosmic backyard. The history of astronomy has been a history of receding horizons. The invention of the telescope took us beyond our naked-eye capabilities, to millions (and later billions) of stars within our own Milky Way. The application of photography and multi-wavelength astronomy to telescopes brought us beyond our own galaxy, to the distant “island Universes” populating all the space we can access. Yet, for all we know about the distant Universe, there still may be undiscovered worlds in our own Solar System. Why is that? Joseph Cummens wants to know, asking: If scientists can use telescopes to hunt planets, galaxies, exoplanets, etc., then why can’t we scan our solar system for the elusive Planet X or other celestial bodies within our home system? As far as we’ve peered into the Universe, we still have a long way to go, even in our own backyard. There’s a key word you need to understand that puts the entire question into perspective: magnitude. From an astronomical perspective, every object has an intrinsic brightness to it, defined by the amount of light it gives off. For an object like our Sun, this is due to its own luminance, since the Sun creates its own energy and emits it in all directions. For an object like our Moon, this is due to its reflected luminance, since it only reflects the light from other objects. The Moon has no self-luminance of its own. If you look at the Moon during its crescent phase, you can actually make out the signal from the lunar surface that isn’t illuminated by the Sun. This isn’t some trick of the Moon’s atmosphere (since it has virtually none), but rather is due to Earthshine: sunlight reflected off of the Earth and onto the Moon. The difference in brightness between these examples showcases how extreme the difference between reflected luminance and self-luminance are. But there’s another thing that’s exemplified by the extreme brightness differences between the Sun and Moon, and the Moon and everything else in the night sky. The Moon has no right to appear brighter than every star, planet, or galaxy in the sky based on its own pitiful magnitude. Intrinsically, the Moon is the faintest object visible with the naked eye from anywhere on Earth. Yet it appears brighter than everything except the Sun! The reason for this is that the Moon is so close, and that intrinsic brightness isn’t the same as observed — or apparent — brightness. The farther away an object is, the less bright it appears. But this isn’t just some general rule we apply, there’s a quantitative relationship that allows us to determine how bright-or-faint an object appears based on its distance. Put simply, brightness falls off as the inverse of the distance squared, or b ~ 1/r². Place an object twice as far away, and it will appear one-fourth as bright. Place it ten times as distant, and it appears just one-hundredth as bright. And place it a thousand times as far from you as it started, and it will appear just one-millionth as bright as it was initially. For any object that emits its own light, these two factors determine an object’s apparent brightness: the intrinsic brightness and the distance it is from the observer. These two factors are, arguably, the two biggest ones to consider when we determine what type of telescope to build. Want to see something fainter? You’ll need to collect more light, which either means building a bigger telescope or observing the same portion of the sky for longer. If money and engineering were no consideration, you’d opt for the bigger telescope every time. Build your telescope twice as large, and you not only gather four times as much light, but you double your resolution. To gather four times as much light by observing longer, you need to spend four times the amount of time, and gain no such advantage in resolution. The biggest telescopes we have are capable of viewing objects to the greatest resolution possible, and resolving their details in the shortest possible time. There’s also the consideration of field-of-view. What’s your goal? Is it to see the faintest object possible? Or is it to view the greatest possible amount of the Universe? There’s a trade-off to make. Your telescope can gather a certain amount of light, and it can either do that by viewing a small region to great precision, or a large region to lesser precision. Just as a microscope can double its magnification by halving the diameter of its field-of-view, a telescope can see deeper into a region of the Universe by narrowing its field-of-view. Different telescopes are optimized for different purposes. The trade-off is severe, however. If we want to go as deep as possible, we can only do it in one small region of the sky. This is the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field. A tiny region of space was imaged, in a variety of wavelengths, for a total of 23 days. The amount of information that was revealed is breathtaking: we found 5,500 galaxies in this small patch of sky. The faintest objects in this patch are literally a factor of 10,000,000,000 (ten billion) times fainter than what you can see at the limit of your naked eye. Due to its large-diameter mirror, its observations at a variety of wavelengths, its location in space, as well as its high magnification and small field-of-view, Hubble can reveal the faintest galaxies ever discovered. But there’s a cost: this image, which took 23 days of data to create, spans only 1/32,000,000th of the sky. On the other hand, you can take a view like this. This was created with the Pan-STARRS telescope, which views the entire visible sky multiple times every night from its location here on Earth. It’s comparable in size to the Hubble Space Telescope, but it’s optimized for wide-field imaging, choosing to value sky-coverage over magnification. As a result, it can reveal objects located practically anywhere on the sky; only the extreme south pole region is cut off due to the telescope’s location in the northern hemisphere. Pan-STARRS, which stands for Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, grabs some 75% of the sky, and is great for detecting changes between points of light. It can find comets, asteroids, Kuiper belt objects and more like no other. But it can only find objects that are thousands of times brighter than the faintest ones Hubble can detect. As much as we’d like to, we cannot simply survey the entire outer Solar System at the required magnitude to discover everything that’s out there. A super-deep, super-faint, all-sky survey will likely never be a possibility due to technological limitations; we can go faint-and-narrow or bright-and-wide, but not both, simultaneously. There’s also one more limiting factor that goes way back to the beginning: these objects are only reflecting sunlight. If you look to the outer Solar System at two identical objects, but one’s twice as distant as the other, it’s actually only one-sixteenth as bright. This is because by time the sunlight hits the farther object, it’s only one-quarter as bright, but then that reflected light has to travel double the distance back to our eyes, making the overall apparent brightness fall off as b~ 1/r⁴. Even if we had a Jupiter-sized world located in the Oort Cloud, we wouldn’t have found it yet. We have plenty of telescopes capable of seeing incredibly faint objects, but we need to know where to point them. We have plenty of telescopes capable of surveying huge areas of the sky, but they can only see the brighter objects; faint ones are out of reach. And for objects in our own Solar System, because they reflect sunlight rather than emit their own, self-generated light, they cannot be seen by any modern telescope if they’re located beyond a certain distance. As with all things, the scanning we can do is powerful, interesting, and educational. It has revealed thousands upon thousands of objects within our own Solar System, from planets to moons to asteroids to Kuiper belt objects and more. But as telescope technology and sky coverage improve, we only see smaller, fainter, and more distant objects. We push the limits, but we never remove them. The science of astronomy is a story of receding horizons. But no matter how deep we go, there will always be a limit to what we can observe.

Kissing is often seen as a way to express love, affection, and intimacy towards someone. It can strengthen emotional bonds and create a sense of connection between individuals. Kissing can convey messages and emotions that words may not be able to express. It can communicate desire, passion, and attraction between partners. Kissing can be pleasurable and can stimulate the release of various hormones and neurotransmitters, such as oxytocin and dopamine, which can create feelings of pleasure and arousal. Kissing can help strengthen social bonds and create a sense of belonging within a relationship or community. It can also be a way to establish trust and build intimacy. Some researchers suggest that kissing may have evolved as a way to assess potential mates and their genetic compatibility. It is believed that kissing allows individuals to exchange chemical signals through taste and smell, which can provide information about a person's health and reproductive fitness.

I've aligned reads onto an haploid reference genome. I'd like to have a consensus sequence of all my aligned reads that doesn't take into account the reference genome I used (i.e. I just want the nucleotides from my reads at each base (taking into account frequency and quality) but if there is no read a one position I rather have N/? than the reference nucleotide. Is there a way to do this ? Thanks vSNP outputs a VCF file that includes positions with no coverage, represented as "N". Then there is a tool to merge a VCF file into the FASTA reference vsnp_merge_vcf_into_fasta.py. It will merge those "N" regions into the FASTA reference. There are options for considering frequency and quality. It's limited to just SNPs and those regions along the reference with no coverage. It does not merge small indels or unmapped reads. Pilon is a better tool for applying indels, but I'm not aware of it letting regions with no coverage be represented as "N". vSNP_step1.py -r1 *_R1*fastq.gz -r2 *_R2*fastq.gz -r ref.fasta *zc.vcf output to merge into FASTA vsnp_merge_vcf_into_fasta.py -f ref.fasta -v *_zc.vcf The difference here is that you want to go through and replace low coverage (maybe zero-coverage?) positions with Ns rather than using the reference. You can likely accomplish this using samtools depth to measure coverage and then writing a script that will go through each position in your reference, check its coverage, and string-replace with an N. Probably a bash one-liner could do this if someone very devoted to bash one-liners came up with one (I don't care for them, but other people are more creative than I). Very quick and dirty pseudocode might look like this: ### Someone could come up with something better if they spent >3min on it. ### should be easy to get it working if you use biopython # read_and_preprocess() stands for whatever you need to do to get data in the right shape coverage_data = read_and_preprocess('samtools_coverage.txt') # reference_with_variants.fasta comes from the solution linked above reference_fasta = read_and_preprocess('reference_with_variants.fasta') threshold = 0 fasta_string = '' for position in reference_fasta: if coverage_data[position] <= threshold: fasta_string += "N" fasta_string += reference_fasta[position] # nonexistent fn that writes a fasta. I am a little skeptical of this approach because it seems like if you do not trust the reference sequence to stand in for zero-coverage areas, then you probably shouldn't trust it to align to and call variants against. Read mapping can be a rather noisy process, especially when you are using a more distantly related reference. I think this is related to the @swbarnes2 comment. I would suggest instead indicating the regions of low/zero coverage by putting them in lowercase acgt with your covered regions uppercase ACGT, which preserves the coverage information that you care about but still allows you access to the reference information. It's not a perfect solution, but I think it makes the most out of the marginal data you're working with, and it is trivial to change the above example code to do it. Hope that helps-
You want to be successful. You want to rake in that moolah, break the glass ceiling and shatter the stereotypes. You want nothing but the best for yourself and your family. And you are willing to put in whatever it takes to reach there. But are you taking care of that one thing that’s going to help you achieve those dreams? We’re talking about YOU. We can’t rave enough about self-care and how essential it is to find balance in your busy lives. They don’t call life a “balancing act” for no reason, do they? Staying in balance is the difference between moving through life and living it to the fullest. It’s when you get through the toughest of days without feeling like a mess (singing “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was calm like me?”). Don’t we all wish to experience that kind of calmness? Here are some tips that can help get your life back into balance. - STOP and disconnect Is there a better way to start?! Stop… take a deep breath and take a moment to realize and analyze what you are doing, how you are spending your day, and are you doing it all a little too much. Accept the fact that you’ve only got so much time and energy to give. You cannot be perfect in all you do all the time; you cannot be available for everyone every time, and that is entirely OK. - Find a purpose Prioritize what means the most to you. And let only those things or people affect you. Schedule your day to align with that purpose and focus on activities that make you feel productive and not exhausted. It’s important to remember that purpose can keep changing depending on your phase of life. Still, it’s also essential to know that you can find a purpose for every stage of your life, one that’s most relevant to where you’re at physically and mentally. We can’t turn a blind eye to the fact that a day isn’t just one activity. Several responsibilities, activities and challenges make up our day and night. Instead of spending time fretting and panicking over how much you’ve got to go, spend that time prioritizing items in your “to-do” list. Knowing what your day looks like is one thing, but comprehending how you’re going to spend it will make life so much easier. Oh, and did we mention, “Me” should always top that list, followed by a “Say NO to everything that isn’t adding value to my life (Be brutal).” - Make time for yourself. Before you get ready to take on the world, spend some time to take care of yourself. TBH, as much time as you can. Indulge in practicing your idea of self-care and self-love. Unless you’re happy with yourself, you cannot be satisfied with what you do. Love yourself, your body, your existence, your life and find ways to pamper yourself in ways you’d do to a loved one. Follow groups, pages, and communities that inspire and encourage you to do the same. Have fun. Spend time doing things that aren’t work-related or do not churn out a quantitative result. Well, unless you’re counting those serotonin levels. Do nothing at all, if that’s what you want. Let loose and let go. Life isn’t about your 9-5 job. It’s instead everything outside that. We all know life isn’t a To-Do list that you’ll be able to stick to as planned. There will always be something that brings you off balance. The key is to be cognizant of when that happens and tuning yourself back in control using these steps, again and again, until one day it sticks on as a way of living. You’ve got this! Imagine.

What is CBD Oil? CBD oil or Cannabidiol oil is a non-psychoactive ingredient that comes from the marijuana plant. It CAN'T get you high, but it has some incredible benefits. It has been shown to reduce chronic pain, ease anxiety, help heart health, and even ward off cancer. Not only is it incredible for bodily health, it also promotes hair health. Since it works great on head hair, it also improves the condition of beard hair. Good beard grooming & beard care have become more popular in recent years, and beards are in style. Some men can have some trouble growing beards because of bad skin, or problematic hair. But these men deserve to grow a full, beautiful beard, with the help of CBD. A bearded gentleman can use this oil to achieve the length, bulk, and luster he’s always wanted. Here are the 4 great benefits of CBD oil on the beard: 1. Promotes Hair Growth Hair is mostly made of a protein called keratin, which includes the hair of the beard. CBD oil is loaded with a compound called Omega 3’s, Omega 6’s, and Omega 9 fatty acids, which are also called GLA or gamma-linolenic acids. This particular compound adds to the protein content of the hair strand and makes it structurally stronger from the inside. They also promote blood circulation, which makes for a healthier follicle. Healthy follicles grow longer and stronger hair. Not only can it be used on beards, but it can be used on head hair as well, to prevent hair loss. It is a good idea to begin a CBD regimen as soon as possible, as hair loss usually starts in a man’s early 30s, but can happen sooner. A big, full beard is achievable even if you are losing sod on the fairway (hair on top of your head). 2. Helps Prevent Hair Loss The protein-building properties of CBD oil and its moisturizing power do wonders for beard hairs already grown outside the follicle. Hair loss on the beard happens a lot because of breakage. Hair strands that are dry and brittle are prone to just snap off like a bit of saltine cracker, preventing you from achieving bulk and length. The oil makes the strand stronger with moisture and protein, making the hair less prone to breakage. With a good CBD oil, you can reduce the breakage and grow a longer, fuller beard. If you have trouble growing hair on your head because of breakage, the oil will work to stop breakage there too. 3. Moisturizes Hair Strands Moisture is key to preventing breakage and promoting new growth. CBD is such a powerful moisturizer because it is loaded with vitamin E. Vitamin E is one of the greatest conditioners nature has to offer. It is good for skin, beards, and hair on the head. Not only will moisturizing make your beard stronger, but it will also add a luxurious shine and make your beard softer to the touch. A long full beard isn’t worth it if the hair is itchy and rough. Not to mention, your significant other will thank you for a soft face full of whiskers. The oil also tames stray hairs and allows for easier styling. If you are a fan of fancy mustache and beard styling, CBD oil will make this much less of a struggle. 4. Moisturizes Skin Below the Beard The skin under the beard is just as important as the beard hairs themselves. It contains the follicles that grow the hairs, which need to be well-cared for. CBD oil seeps into pores without clogging them, which will promote hair growth. If you have problematic skin, the oil can also help with skin conditions, such as: - Redness - Dry skin - Itchiness - Acne -Inflammation Sweet Almond oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Jojoba oil, Grapeseed oil, Coconut oil, Babassu oil, Vitamin E & other premium Essential oils. 45mg CBD oil

At the end of June, AMS Master students graduate and at the ceremony we award an inspiring example from outside of our school with an Honorary Master. In 2016, this honor was granted to Vic Swerts and AMS defined his career using the '5 attitudes'. Jan Jacobs, Master in Public Management graduate, was there and now reflects using these 5 concepts. Jan is the general director of Iona vzw and works as a coach on the side. On his website you can read various articles on making you dreams come true. After two years of intensive studying, I was awarded my Master’s degree at the 2016 Antwerp Management School Executive Masters’ Graduation Ceremony. That had long been an ambitious dream of mine. Vic Swerts gave a keynote on how he realized his own dream, and received an Honorary Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship for his 50-year career. Successfully realizing your goals In his keynote, Baron Vic Swerts explained that he once started a business out of necessity – to make a living. He wanted to earn money to start a family, and to subsequently create some kind of prosperity for himself. That turned out somewhat differently: Soudal is a producer of building specialties, which has become a global player in sealants, polyurethane foam, and glues. The company employs over 2100 people and has an annual turnover of over more than half a million euros. A major corporation, in other words. Even though he is now 76 years old, Swerts doesn’t think about giving up. He only recently signed a contract for another 20 years, as he explained laughing. However, he knows the laws of successfully realizing your goals better than anyone. And it is very true. If, 10 years ago, you would have told me that I would have a family with three children and be the head of a wonderful enterprise with about 100 employees, I would have a thriving practice, I would have written a book, I would have been awarded a master’s degree in public management with honours, I would have run a marathon, … then I probably would have said that you’re crazy. But the reality is (to my own amazement) that, since then, I have reached it all. That is something I’m very proud of, and so grateful for. These were all dreams I once had, for me as well. Experience taught me that every result was once a dream, and the road to that dream consists of a few important steps. Every successful result starts with a wish, a desire, a dream. The starting point is knowing what you want, and being honest about it (with yourself, but with others as well). To get in touch with your wishes and your desires, it is important to make room for them. Busy people who constantly hurry from one thing to another are usually not in contact with what they truly want. Or they’re too fully engaged with what other people ask of them or expect from them. Making a “Bucket List” and a “Fuck-it List” is already a good place to start. If you just dream, and you don’t do, nothing will happen. The next step is figuring out the smartest way possible to realize your dream. You’re probably standing at the end of a long line, so how have the people who preceded you tackled this issue? If you want to run a marathon, for example, the internet offers you many tips and tricks regarding training, food and drink in order for you to be able to run your very first marathon. If you want to level up, then a coach will definitely be a good idea. So, how are you going to realize your dream? Every single person who decides to undertake something will feel conflicted within themselves, since making a dream come true also implies leaving your comfort zone and doing things that may have seemed to be impossible at first (otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a dream in the first place). But this cannot be taken for granted, because we feel most comfortable within our comfort zone. Consequently, we always head back to what we already know, and things that feel familiar. That’s why daring is certainly an important step in the growth process and in the realization of your dream. Without the doing, the dream will only be an objective for the rest of your life. It’s quite simple: no action, no results. You have to start somewhere and work for your dream to come true, because that doesn’t just happen all by itself (unless you believe in fairy tales). Moreover, others aren’t waiting for your dream to become reality, so others aren’t going to help you. In fact, others are often a hindrance for your dream. So, do you want your dream to become an objective and a successful result? Then start doing! Every success consists of 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Willpower and decisiveness are key factors. Everyone will sometimes reach a situation where it’s no longer any use, it starting to get too heavy, and you even thinking of giving up. You wonder why you should even try to continue. For me personally, that situation was the first marathon I had ever run. After the 32nd kilometre it started wearing me down and every cell in my body thought about giving up. However, I persevered and now that I look back on it, I cannot believe that I had ever thought of giving up. Giving up is not an option. Unless, of course, persevering is harmful to either you or others. Baron Vic Swerts listed another extra attitude, ‘gratitude’. On the one hand, he wanted to express his gratitude for the recognition he bestowed. On the other hand, gratitude is in itself an important step (or “law”) for successful people: being grateful for everything that crosses your path, positive thinking and serving a higher purpose; being grateful for the people who surround you, believe in your, and support you. Honestly, my successes wouldn’t even exist without all the beautiful people who surround me. Read more AMS alumni stories here!
Following on the march of POTUS and VPOTUS into conversations, no doubt from West Wing being on the air, and as a contender against SCOTUS, comes SECDEF. It seems to me, all of a sudden, everyone is useing SECDEF or Sec. Def. when referring to the Secretary of Defense. With Rumsfeld’s resignation and Gates as nominee, there’s quite a lot of opportunity to use this in conversation. Will it stick? And, doesn’t this kind of conversational use remind you of double-speak or Starship Troopers? On the other hand, could this be from all those people texting on their phones, and merely a parallel development from text-speak?
Total construction activity in Australia has struggled since 2017. Forecasters predict that most of the market will remain flat or post small gains in the years ahead. Still, there are a number of bright spots on the horizon for the construction industry in the country. These are the top findings of an August 2019 report on the country’s construction market from industry association Master Builders Australia. Here are seven other findings from the report. Civil projects will lead the way The civil construction sector is expected to be “the biggest winner” over the next several years, according to the Master Builders report, thanks largely to the ramping up of government-led transport infrastructure projects. Forecasters predict the best bets coming in civil are in oil and gas, rail construction and roads, while electric, recreation and telecommunications appear “to have peaked and are beginning to contract,” the report said. Residential growth is still struggling Due to a raft of circumstances such as lower birth rates, declining migration and an overbuilding of housing before 2017, residential growth has flattened in Australia and is expected to decline in the coming years, the report said. Expert estimates put residential projects at about 168,000 for 2020, which is 28% lower than the peak in 2017. Commercial growth will struggle, but not in every sector Commercial growth in the Australian construction market has been a “star performer” over the last couple of years and is forecasted to touch new highs in 2020, according to the Master Builders report. However, such above-average growth is expected to fall back to normal levels in the years ahead, the report said. Office buildings, education and accommodations will contract significantly, and although transportation, health and retail have much more favorable projections, they aren’t enough to overcome the general slowdown. Expect that the drop in commercial growth will also lead to more spaces originally designed for offices to transition to other uses, as people continue to switch to off-site or shared workspaces. Fewer new homes, but more renovations If you’re in the Australian home-renovation business, there’s good news—the ultra-low interest rates for loans are expected to help many Australians finally open up their floor plans or redo their kitchens. This is particularly true for detached houses built in the late 1980s. Major construction firms are increasingly ‘green’ The largest construction firms in Australia—those handling the majority of the country’s big projects—are “greening” their practices and approaches. For example, CPB Contractors, Australia’s largest construction company, has made environmental and sustainable solutions part of its approach to every project. Lendlease, the multinational Australian builder and property manager, has been recognized five years in a row by the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) as the world’s most sustainable property fund. Investors and builders in Australia and around the world are choosing more sustainable practices; small- to medium-sized builders might benefit by following their lead. Modular and prefab will increase market share Most Western countries like Australia rely on traditional stick build methods and consider modular or prefabricated construction cheap or tasteless. Asian and Nordic countries, however, have long made prefabricated elements and even entire homes a significant part of their market. In recent years, prefabricated and modular homes have grown more popular in Western countries for their cost savings and diminished environmental impact. And while the market for prefabs is only about 3.5% in Australia, that is expected to double in the coming years as quality and design improves. Technology is speeding up the business It might feel like construction sites are increasingly out of science fiction, with GPS-enabled equipment, wearable technologies, drones and digital documents such as blueprints and checklists. The result of this is that work happens faster, with better organization and with much tighter supply lines and schedules. Contractors will be well served to implement new technologies to keep their competitive edge—or at least understand and have a flexible attitude toward technology as the larger firms lead the way.
If you have set up Steam “Family Library Sharing” in Ubuntu (Or other.) Linux (Perhaps following https://blog.budhajeewa.com/make-steam-family-library-sharing-effective-in-ubuntu-linux/.), you will notice that Windows games running with Steam Proton are not working when the secondary user (The one who is borrowing the games.) is trying to play them. To fix this, log in to the secondary user’s Ubuntu account, and exit Steam completely (By clicking on the Steam icon in the notification area and selecting “Exit Steam”) and launch Steam again through a terminal. This will allows us to see a bunch of output emitted from the running Steam application. Once you are in Steam application, navigate to the game that doesn’t work, and click on “Play”. Now keep an eye on the messages that pop-up in the terminal. When the game crashes, you might see a message like this: wineserver: /share/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX/pfx is not owned by you wine: '/share/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXpfx' is not owned by you XXXXXXX would be a random number. Be sure that use the exact path that you get. This is Steam complaining that the current Ubuntu user doesn’t have access to the above directory path. That is because it is owned by the user who installed the game. To let the secondary user play the game, we have to change the ownership of that directory to the secondary user. sudo chown -R <secondary-user-name> /share/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXX/pfx Be sure to replace “<secondary-user-name>” and “XXXXXXX” as appropriate when you issue this command. Note that this will make the original user unable to play the game, now that we’ve changed the ownership. When the original user wants to play, change the ownership again following the same steps. This is not ideal, but it gets the work done until this issue is eventually fixed.

It’s official: schools in NSW, QLD and across the country will begin reopening from next week. While this comes as great news for some parents, many will be concerned about the risk of their children contracting coronavirus and potentially spreading it to more vulnerable people, such as grandparents. It’s undoubtedly a tough decision to send kids back to school, but with the right cleaning practices put in place, the risk can be reduced. Not many people would give much thought to their garbage chute; that vertical pathway that guides your garbage to its collection area at the street level or basement. There is one built on every high rise building floor just so you can throw your rubbish away at ease without having to make the journey downstairs. I would like to take a moment to pause and convey my sincere thanks to the amazing work being done by the various Challenger teams to ensure the safety of the community. I feel privileged to work alongside this remarkable group of people, who have dedicated themselves to this business and its ongoing journey through what has been an extremely turbulent time. Challenger is here to help and we are confident we can full-fill your needs. Whether you are just looking for a simple 2 hour weekly clean for your office or if you are looking for a more extensive sanitisation service with a team of staff, we can take care of it for you, so you can focus on your business practices. As the world tries to make sense of the coronavirus crisis, it is clear that the elderly are especially at risk and in need of extra precautions to protect their health. Aged care facilities have a duty of care to ensure that the patient care environment within their facility is maintained to a very high standard of absolute hygiene and cleanliness, in order to meet with and adapt to the new needs being enforced to manage and handle such a biohazard. CoronaVirus (COVID-19) has infected more than 240,000 people around the world and can survive from hours to several days on doorknobs, handrails, elevator buttons and other hard surfaces. By touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose or possibly their eyes, a person is at high risk of contracting CoronaVirus. The choice to outsource services within your business can be a complex one and requires a thorough due diligence process. Remember you are entrusting another business to provide not just operational support but the delivery of the entire business process. Whether it be Information Technology, Human Resources, Facilities Management or Finance, there are some obvious points to consider and some less recognisable areas which require your attention. International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is a global international standard for regulatory compliance across a range of business fields. The most common is ISO 9001 for quality management standards. Companies with ISO Certification, like Challenger®️, are regularly audited by independent accreditation organisations and issued with improvement notices if required, together with updated re-certification. ISO Certification is the gold standard in terms of measuring a service provider’s processes, systems and adherence to the standards. Have you ever wondered what is important to you in terms of cleaning? Do you focus on Cost, Compliance or Quality more? Do you lean toward two or prefer all three areas equally for a Balanced approach? Take the test and we can shed some light on it for you.
Minimalist design can be gorgeous in the right setting, but as far as we're concerned, bolder is better. We love vibrant looks that make an instant statement while remaining as sophisticated as possible. Hence, our appreciation for the recent resurgence of exotic stone, which is back with a vengeance. Today's most impressive stone trends incorporate a variety of bold elements without losing their elegant underpinning. We are especially enthusiastic about the following stone trends: Rich colors form the basis of today's most beautiful stonework. While we've observed a variety of bright hues in the last several months, the most notable include shades of blue, pink, and green. These deep shades are often tempered by an infusion of neutrals, which make them easier to integrate into a variety of settings. Artistic Tile has clearly mastered the art of incorporating today's most stunning colors into elegant tiles. The designer's Lilac look, for example, draws on the regal beauty of plum to infuse stone with an instant sense of personality. Available in a variety of formats (including a distinctive honed hexagon mosaic), this stone will quickly make an impression while still maintaining the crisp and clean look that has proven so popular over the past several years. Just as gorgeous as Lilac, Artistic Tile's Verde Aurora reveals the ethereal nature of deep green. While this alluring color takes center stage, subtle infusions of other hues can also be seen on closer examination. Understated shades of pink, grey, and yellow are seamlessly incorporated alongside the tile's rich green to grant the impression of the Northern Lights at dawn. Color is just one of several options for making an impression with exotic stone. Veining can prove just as impactful — and we're pleased to report that it is definitely back in style. It recently made a much-deserved comeback and has been featured in several of the latest trade shows. When incorporated in high-end tile, veining delivers a natural, yet sophisticated look. The beautiful possibilities offered through veining stand out in Artistic Tile's intricate Cipollino design. This stone was quarried from the Apuan Alps and honed into gorgeous 12" x 24" tiles featuring visually impactful swirls that create a sense of movement. Although beautiful in any setting, this take on veining is particularly in keeping with modern bathroom designs, which aim to up the ante with statement walls and luxurious backsplash. The latest veining looks are that much more impactful when combined with rich colors, as evidenced by the Verde Aurora style highlighted above. Cipollino, although far more subtle, also features unique colors that would not ordinarily be associated with veined marble. In fact, its name hails from the Italian term for "little onion," as its green-beige hue and streaks of grey draw to mind the fine layers of an onion. At Decorative Materials, we're looking forward to making the most of today's hottest tile trends. We believe that the elevated looks that are currently in style will not only make an impression now, but also in years to come. The right tile can bring the most exotic and elegant visions to life. Are you excited to incorporate exotic stone in your interior design? We're happy to help. Browse our Product Lookbook or visit one of our showrooms to get a better idea for how today's most vibrant stone looks can make a mark in your favorite space. Otherwise, feel free to contact us online to discuss ideas.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (Feb. 1, 2015) – Making dreams come true for the New England Patriots and their fans, wide receiver Julian Edelman and rookie Malcolm Butler continued a magical tradition Sunday night following the Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks here in Super Bowl XLIX. Rising from the frenzied, on-field hoopla moments after their team captured the National Football League championship, Edelman and Butler beamed into the cameras and shouted those four words that for decades have become synonymous with Super Bowl victory celebration. “We’re going to Disneyland!” Edelman and Butler each contributed huge plays for the Patriots in the final minutes of the game, giving New England its fourth Lombardi Trophy. Edelman caught a touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots the lead and what turned out to be the winning score. Then, with 20 seconds left in the game and the Seahawks on the verge of scoring, cornerback Butler intercepted a pass on the goal line to seal the victory. Edelman’s touchdown catch was one of his nine receptions in the game, for 109 yards. The pronouncement by Edelman and Butler, part of the production for one of TV’s most enduring and iconic Super Bowl commercials, was captured within seconds of the final gun. It was the latest episode of the “I’m going to Disneyland” commercial produced over a 28-year span. Fans can see the episode beginning Monday on the Disney Parks Blog. On Monday, Edelman and Butler are scheduled for a hero’s welcome at Disneyland Park with a cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A., accompanied by Mickey Mouse and in front of cheering park guests and Patriots fans. Following the cavalcade, the Patriots players are scheduled to conduct media interviews. The last time two players visited a Disney park after winning the NFL championship was 2009, when Santonio Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in Super Bowl XLIII. The first of the “I’m going to Disneyland” commercials appeared in 1987 and featured New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms following his team’s triumph in Super Bowl XXI. The commercial was regarded as a groundbreaking concept – a produced national commercial involving a current event, airing on major networks hours after the event. Since then, the commercial has created a national catchphrase, shouted by people of all ages following moments of great accomplishment. This latest installment – the 48th in the long-running series – followed a similar script, airing only hours after the conclusion of Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday. Edelman and Butler join a star-studded lineup of sports heroes such as Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Emmitt Smith, Michael Jordan, Kurt Warner, Coach Jon Gruden, Joe Montana, John Elway, Jerry Rice, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Doug Williams, Magic Johnson and NHL goalie Patrick Roy who have been featured during the nearly three decades of “I’m going to Disneyland” commercials.

How do you come to terms with not being able to do everything, everywhere, all at once? I enjoy taking photos. I’m fascinated with collecting rocks. I adore making memories with my children. I cherish taking in walks with my wife. And I forever strive to soak in small moments of solitude in the beautiful places I travel to. But how do I figure out which reasonable combination of these things to do at a given time? As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, one of our family goals this past year (and for next year) is to travel around Michigan. More specifically, travel around Michigan with the intention of walking along the beaches of the Great Lakes to collect various rocks and fossils, a hobby often referred to as rock hounding. Something I struggle with though, not only during these adventures but other travels as well, is figuring out how to spend my time when we’re out and about. Realistically, I can only do one, maybe two tasks at a time. So, using the aforementioned examples, do I spend the time walking along the beach trying to corral the children while occasionally picking up a rock or two (and having a fear of missing out (FOMO) that I might miss a beautiful agate)? Or do I enjoy the walk with my wife and snap a few photos along the way? Should I be recording video of the kids as they look for rocks worth keeping? Or should I take a still photograph of them instead? Do I use a 35mm film camera or my 120 Contax 645? 50mm or 105mm? So many decisions, both before and during every single activity. And that’s to say nothing of dealing with the FOMO that making one decision altered what could’ve been the better one after the fact. I know I’m not the only one to feel this way; my wife expressed feeling the same way during our adventures (we’re both very multifaceted people with more hobbies and interests than is likely reasonable) and I’ve talked with others who feel this way in varying capacities. But it really does wear on me in ways that I don’t often realize until after the fact when I’m in a decompression stage much later on. I’ve always considered myself to be someone who understands tradeoffs, opportunity costs, and cost-benefit analyses of both business and personal endeavors. But I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that I struggle much more with the latter. In my work life, I seem to have no problem making a decision amongst seemingly endless possibilities and doing it with little to no second guessing. But that aptitude doesn’t appear to translate well into my personal life. I’m not sure why, and I certainly don’t have an answer, but this post is my “thinking out loud” exercise I hope to be able to reference months or years from know when I eventually make some progress on this matter.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that all employers who are required to maintain the OSHA 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses post a summary of the previous year’s log between February 1st and April 30th each year, even if no incidents occurred in the preceding calendar year. The summary (OSHA Form 300A) must be certified by a company executive and posted in a conspicuous location where notices to employees are customarily posted. All employers who had more than ten employees at any point during the last calendar year are covered by this requirement unless they qualify as part of an exempt low-risk industry. A full list of the industries exempt from OSHA routine recordkeeping requirements (including posting Form 300A) can be found in the Guides section of the HR Support Center by searching “partially exempt industries.” It’s called “OSHA Fact Sheet: Reporting and Recordkeeping Rule and Partially Exempt Industries List.” The OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (Form 300), Summary (Form 300A) and Instructions can be found in the Forms section of the HR Support Center by searching for “OSHA Form 300.” It’s called “OSHA Form 300, 300A, 301, and Instructions.” New this year: electronic reporting begins. The OSHA 300A form will need to be submitted online to OSHA by July 1. We will send out an eAlert closer to this deadline with instructions for submitting the form online as OSHA has not yet released full details of this procedure.

Under the present enactment, any credit help suppliers are required to either be licensed entirely or a credit representative of a National Credit License holder.

Car Finance Broker On the off chance that they hold their very own Australian Credit License, they will require to have certain assurances set up for the purchaser, which would incorporate having adequate Professional Indemnity Insurance and to be an individual from an outside questions goals organization, for example, the Financial Ombudsman Services (“FOS”) or the Credit Ombudsman Services Limited (“COSL”) 1. Credit license It is likewise essential for the broker or credit to help the supplier to have a Credit License or be a credit representative. Along these lines, on the off chance that the broker isn’t any of these, at that point, he’s trading unlawfully, and you should abstain from enlisting them for the activity. 2. Related with It is significant to have the option to coexist with your picked broker. On the off chance that you are not comfortable with your broker, your business exchange would end sharp. Your finance broker should be someone you can trust since they’ll dive into the financial circumstance you are in and will know some extremely close to home insights regarding you. If the broker you are considering doesn’t leave a generally excellent impression from the start, you should better look someone else. Indeed, that is important. Verify whether the broker is prepared to impart all the essential data to you or not. They should furnish you with everything in the composed structure, be it printed or through an email. In any case, on the off chance that they are not prepared to do that, there’s something fishy going on, and you should be careful about that. At the point when you have everything in composed structure, it’s the verification of your dealing and can prove to be useful if you have a contest to deal with by the day’s end. Along these lines, if your broker isn’t conceding to taking things further that way, you should better search for someone else. 4.

Have you noticed electric bikes around your neighborhood? They are growing in popularity all around the country as more and more people embrace 2-wheels and are doing their part to help reduce pollution. A recent study found that 46% percent of e-bike commute trips replaced automobile commute trips and if 15 percent of car trips were made by e-bike, carbon emissions would drop by 12 percent. If Congressman Paneta and Congressional Bike Caucus Chairman Earl Blumenauer’s E-Bike Act is signed into law, it will help Americans get up to a $1,500 tax credit when they buy an electric bike. “E-bikes are not just a fad for a select few, they are a legitimate and practical form of transportation that can help reduce our carbon emissions,” said Congressman Panetta. Here’s how it will work should it pass through the legislative process: - Covers 30% of the cost of the electric bicycle, up to a $1,500 credit - Applies to new electric bicycles that cost less than $8,000 - Is fully refundable, allowing lower-income workers to claim the credit Support the Act: We want to hear from you: What do you think about this legislation? Let us know on social media using the hashtag #ridepanda.
The holidays are knocking at the door with guests not far behind. It’s a joyful but busy season of hosting and gathering. We’ve pulled together three simple DIYs to help you freshen up your home yet leave you ready to relax and enjoy all the moments that matter most. Work Some Magic in the Dining Room During the holidays, the dining room can become a cramped and crowded hub for hosting. For a more spacious feel, create the illusion of depth with color. A dark hue like Iron Ore can achieve this while also bringing an elevated look to the space. Paint just an accent wall or cover walls and trim with the same color to soften angles and evoke the impression of expansiveness. A Little Love for the Trim Refreshing trim is a simple and often-overlooked way to make an impact with little input of time or cost. To heighten the drama, go for a monochrome look using a moody shade like Mount Etna. Blending the trim, walls, and ceiling brings harmony and creates the impression of open space. Or, to keep things more simple, you could choose a darker contrasting color and paint just the trim to define borders with sharp, bold lines. Make the project even easier and simply touch up the existing color for a fresh, clean look. Freshen Up the Fireplace Gather round and nestle in to the cozy vibes with a quick and easy fireplace refresh. This festive focal point provides the perfect backdrop for your holiday gatherings. With a bold neutral like Pewter Green, this DIY can make a big impression year-round. It’s an easy, statement-making update that will grab the notice of family and friends.
By Simon Woodhead I get so tied up in the ‘today’ and the ‘tomorrow’ that I sometimes forget to look in the rear-view mirror. To be honest, when I do it usually makes me cross to see lies and vanity putting fake polish on turds industry-wide. So often technical competence, innovation, and investing in doing things the right way – the way that takes account of the bigger picture – get drowned out by noise. It disgusts and depresses me to the core. Just lately though, I’m finding that rear-view terrifically amusing, seeing an entire industry flailing around with limited scope for turd-polishing! They can’t market-over a 578x cost increase. They can’t deny the lack of innovation, investment, let alone competence, that necessitates a middle-of-the-day upgrade (which they cock up causing an outage) the day before a change. They can’t deny their sell-side revenue obsession and greed, leaping like lemmings to cobble together some form of passing through surcharges because they have no idea whatsoever what calls cost and are blind to a better way. Put simply, they can’t pretend to care about customers or the ultimate consumer when their true colours are laid so bare. An early mentor of mine once told me of an exercise where everyone holds a very long rope and blindfolded follows a leader around a yard. The leader changes direction, goes round obstacles, sees things coming. Everyone else gets jerked one direction or the other by the rope, pulled with no notice, stumbling, tripping over things. The further back along the rope they are, the more clueless and pulled about they are, and the further they get flung one way or the other. A tiny change of direction at the front is a massive swing at the back. I look in the mirror and that’s a metaphor for exactly what I see today. Now this may sound arrogant and won’t win me new friends, hell it’ll probably get me more drunk abuse by those who consider themselves called out, but I (still) really don’t care. We’re here for our customers and the ultimate consumer, not the affection of a charlatan cohort. And don’t think I’m suggesting we’re at the front of the rope either, we’re clearly not this time. Some big companies have apparently moved so quickly a cynic might question whether they started preparing even before Ofcom had the genius idea they supported and we’re all now digesting. Undeniably, we’re pretty close to the front though. That means some interesting things for those smart enough to choose Simwood: No origination charges passed through As origin charging has developed, we’ve maintained that we don’t think it is fair or appropriate to pass through surcharges, let alone join the sleaze by profiting from doing so. Passing them through is almost impossible to do fairly as some level of blending is required. Each operator who has introduced origin charging so far has implemented a unique ladder of not only rates but the origin dial-codes to which they apply, making it rather complex. Some of those passing through have simplified this to a worst case rate ladder, gifting them windfall margin at the expense of their customers and consumers. Ironically, some are lauding their blended rates for being cheaper than someone else’s non-blended rate – don’t fall for it. We don’t want to play that dirty game and have maintained that if we can avoid passing surcharges through, we will. Thankfully, owing to innovations that whilst 10 or more years old are still unmatched, and different cultural values, we’re able to know exactly what every call costs us in real-time and can act accordingly. Further, Simwood customers did the work to ensure there was no rogue invalid callerID passing through over a year ago. With all that combined, I’m delighted to confirm today that we will be sticking to our position of no dirty origination charges passed through for the foreseeable future. Simwood customers do not need to worry about rating and routing by origination, just send the traffic to us and relax. Those who exceptionally seek to abuse this however, will know about it nearly as quickly as we do, i.e. realtime! With origination surcharges coming to fixed lines as well from August 1st, we think this is a massive bonus for Simwood customers! The most interconnected voice network Our IP network is large by any competitive standards and it serves us well. However, as a result of BTZero we’re more bilaterally interconnected than any of our peers as far as we can tell. That delivers innumerable benefits in call quality, security and resilience to third party failures. We’re also the only one amongst our perceived peers in the Secret Club. Recall we also passed on new breakouts and new rates for traffic flowing directly to peers and on-net. These remain surcharge free as well! One of the largest UK wholesale providers With one exception, most competitors lose wholesale amongst other business activities and dine out on overall revenue. The same revenue cannot be reapportioned indefinitely of course and when those other activities are taken out, not a lot is left for wholesale voice. Others have legacy revenue such as sex-lines which dramatically inflate revenues. Look at wholesale alone though in volume terms and there’s surprising names beneath us. One rapidly approaching milestone is 1 billion minutes per year at wholesale, whilst we also host number ranges for dramatically more operators than most. That gives us clout dramatically above our size in revenue or profit terms (did I mention we weren’t inflating either passing through origin surcharges?) which is good for Simwood customers. We try to use that shaping the industry the right way, not for us, but for our customers and end-users. We’re still microscopic in absolute telco terms of course but I expect our scale may come as a surprise to many. So this is a huge thankyou to customers and colleagues past, present and intended, for trusting, supporting and driving us to here. Others have achieved a lot more in 25 years for sure, but I’m pleased with where we’ve got to with our morals and principles intact.

I noticed that this video of a giant sebaceous cyst got more likes that any other of my photos or videos on Instagram (@SavvyVetTech). I realized then that a lot of people find these gross videos fascinating based on the comments they were leaving. It's a good thing I had our technician grab the camera just in case something cool came out. We weren't disappointed! So what exactly is a sebaceous cyst anyway?Read More
Table of Contents “Handshakes have given way to fist bumps, and sanitizers have found residence with the humble pen in every pocket. And while the masks remain, the eyes still smile. On-ground events are back with a bang!” After almost 24 months of the world living in sealed pockets, we are now back to stadium cheers with fries and beers! Not only have sport and game opened their doors to crowds, but trade shows and expos have also allowed for a resurgence of businesses too. From the US Open that saw a new champion to Expo 2020 that’s bringing all the world to Dubai; from league football that reminded the world to choose water over carbonated drinks to stampedes at concerts - events and celebrations are back to stay. A lull in socializing and outdoor life has caused a boom in on-ground events. Excitement levels are through the roof! This is an excellent chance for you to ride the wave, make the most of this renewed vigor and grow your business. As we move towards a post-pandemic world, let’s talk numbers (of a happier kind). More engagement means more conversion. This guide will tell you how to ace that. But, beginning with the end in mind helps you prepare your plan of action with a much higher probability of success. There is bound to be a fall in numbers between attraction and conversion. On average, a 3-5% conversion rate is what one can expect. This means, if you reach out to 100 people with your event, you’d be left with 4-5 convertees. On the other hand, unicorns have a conversion rate of 11.45% on average. Those are the levels you want to touch. To do that, you need to seal each stage of your event funnel to hold on to as many leads as you can. This guide will help you work your way through on-ground events and maximize your ROI by doing just that. On ground events can be one of two kinds: - A stall/slot at trade shows, exhibitions, summits, conferences, fairs, etc. - An exclusive event that you conduct Whether you choose this or that, there are five stages you need to go through for a successful event and increased conversion rates. We’ll walk you through those right here. Stage One: Plan Begin your planning with the end in mind. Fix a date for your event, or book one and start planning backward. This will allow enough time for all preparations. The best approach to planning is to visualize the event from the guest’s perspective. Trade shows, Exhibitions, Summits, Conferences, Fairs Presented below are some resources for you to ace the planning stage of on-ground events. 1. Directory for renowned events across the globe - Eventseye is a great resource to look for trade shows happening around the world in any industry. Here are a few trade shows to look forward to in 2022: 25-29 May 2022 Printing - Editing - Graphic Design Fashion - Textile Healthcare & Pharma Austin, Texas, USA 2. Best Practices- - Ask questions and use answers to these questions to shortlist the trade shows or on-ground events you want to take part in: - Which industry or industries do you usually sell to? - What’s the company size of your best customers? - Does your customer base include large enterprise, mid-market, or startup/small business? - Does your service pair especially well with other technologies? - Does the on-ground event audience match with your target audience? - The world is small. Seek experience from people who have already participated in such events. You are sure to get help in making the right decisions based on expected expenses, tips to make the most from the event, a good location to have the event at, and much more. - Prepare brochures, contact cards, some branded accessories, etc. in advance. - Plan attraction and engagement strategies in advance: - Engage local social media influencers in advance to spread the word about your booth. You may wish to provide special treatment to visitors recommended by influencers regarding discounts or gifts. - Prepare for activities that create a buzz around the show to increase footfall at your booth. - Buy reward coupons in advance to increase engagement for visitors - Think of a special offer for visitors to give them a reason to come back to you after the trade show. - Budgeting - There are often hidden costs associated with participating in such events that fail to make it to your budget, and it’s easy to overshoot. Here’s a non-exhaustive list you must keep in mind: - Airline transaction fees - Credit card and processing fee - Office supplies and shipping charges - On location transportation - Parking tickets for VIP guests - Promotion costs - When you’re looking to present at an international event, one that is set up in the context of another culture, be mindful of the customs, traditions, and protocols of the places you’re visiting. Work on being fluent in the culture and habits of the people. The fun in creating your event lies in the field of play available to you. You can stick to a regular format event where you have lunch or tea with some entertainment and sell your services. Or you can choose to get creative and run campaigns that are events in themselves or events that are fiestas! Oh, don’t worry; we’ve got some ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Creative ideas for on-ground events Incorporating rewards into your events is a great way to increase participation and possibly conversion. When budgeting for an event that is exclusively yours, you’re not bound to use the allocated budget in a particular manner. For instance, you can choose to run an event that lasts more than just an evening, like eBay’s luxury handbag vending machine. Nothing shows that you care as personalized gifting does. How about curating personalized gifts for your list of attendees in an invite-only event? Having your customers bring in a plus one to an event and sending them back with a thoughtful, personalized present will make them feel special and make their plus one want to be a part of this exclusive club. When thinking of fun events, we couldn’t miss telling you about the Amex Gold Card Picnic in the Park. With a curated menu and exclusive access to a luxury picnic in a park, complete with favors and goodies, this campaign sounds like such a hit! Oh, and bonus points to them for collaborating with businesses for food and goodies. Best practices to plan your event - Experiment and have fun when coming up with ideas for your events. Remember, the point of an event is to sell. And people are more receptive to buying when they are having fun. So a fun event will mean increased sales. - Have dedicated teams for dedicated tasks. Assign roles and have people stick to them and see tasks through. - Planning must be extensive. If you have checklists at every stage of planning an event, it’s unlikely that something will pass you by. We’ve got some for you that you can use as a starting point. - Budgeting - The event’s purpose and budget will dictate its final format. So understanding the why will help find a way to the how. To do that, you as the marketing team must sit down with the sales team. Set out your event goals and then work the budget. Here are some considerations you must account for in your budget: - ✈️ Travel and Accommodation - 🍔 Food - 💵 Staff Compensation - 🏦 Facility Expenses - ⚙️ Logistics - 📢 Marketing and PR Stage Two: Promote Trade shows, Exhibitions, Summits, Conferences, Fairs When you rent out a stall in events organized by others, you can cut down on your marketing budget. The event organizer is going to do its bit to publicize the event, and this in itself will generate a decent amount of footfall for you. So here, you must shift your focus to promoting your event to a targeted audience to maximize conversions. To do this, grab sponsorship and advertising opportunities that organizers may provide. - Reach out to your existing customers through social media and emails. If you have a newsletter, run the event as an exclusive for subscribers. For example, Charles & Keith, Singapore, conducted an exclusive event at their store with a local celebrity artist to launch a collaborative collection. Why would a customer want to miss out on being part of an all-exclusive event? - Encourage your existing customers to bring people along. Incentivize every interested attendee they bring along with a discount coupon or a special offer. - Get creative with how you use social media. Engage with your audience in every way possible. For example, create a catchy hashtag on social media and run an online giveaway encouraging people to use the hashtag and share details of the event. Encourage participants to post content using the event hashtag by running a reward campaign around it. Additionally, leverage hashtag analytics to track engagement and reach, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of your campaign. Use these metrics to refine your strategy, tailoring content to resonate more deeply with your audience and amplify your social media presence. Multi-channel marketing is your best friend when you’re promoting your event. Use a bunch of marketing channels to spread the word about your event. Here are some ideas for you to draw inspiration from: 1. Have a website? Create a landing page dedicated specifically to the event, drive traffic to it through: - pay-per-click campaigns, - social media, - a hello bar on the website An exclusive event page shall be an excellent way to deliver event details. Using it well - having a fun UI, engaging the audience, giving them a taste of the event, why they should be there, what they can learn, and win - can skyrocket your events’ attendance. Pro tip: Capture leads through your landing page by offering exclusive rewards and offers. 2. Use emails as one more effective channel: - Send out a fun email with a catchy subject line - Add in event details - location, time, other logistic details - Allow your readers to add the event to their calendars with a CTA button When you send out emails, the tone must be conversational. Talk TO people instead of talking AT them. No one wants to read another email that sounds like it’s come from work. Make the emails you send out fun, warm, and friendly. Not only is the likelihood of them being read through higher, but they also have a higher recall value. 3.Use listing websites: - There are some great event calendar websites available. Check out Eventbrite. Look to have your event listed there. - Use local guide sites to have events listed. Sites like Yelp could give you great reach. - Use Facebook Events and LinkedIn Events to list. Use Rewards To Attract More Attendees to Your Events - Announce that every attendee who brings a plus one who converts will get a special discount or offer on your services. So make it a good one! - Encourage attendance in groups if it’s an event that is not planned around food (else you’ll only be increasing your costs), and maybe you can have a giveaway around the best-dressed group in theme at the event - Have a high ticket raffle and a luxury product for the winner - Announce an open mic at your event and encourage participation with a prize for the winner - Have small contests with not too expensive but thoughtful giveaways - like tongue-twisters or the attendee who creates a catchy tag line for your business or the attendee carrying an outdated currency note. These little things will have your attendees leave feeling excited, and these will be more likely to have a continued association with you - Offer specials for liking your social media pages or spreading a word about your product on social media Stage Three: Engage To keep your audience engaged, focus on creating an experience for the participant, which then, in turn, evokes an emotion or reaction that is memorable for them. This emotion and memory become an association with your brand, a feel-good factor that increases the chances of a user becoming a loyal customer. 70% of users become regular customers after an event that gave them an experience. Whether you’re part of a trade show or are hosting your event, the things in your D-Day checklist will look pretty much the same. Here’s a starter for you The final checklist - Confirm 📰 media attendance - Ensure all 🪧 signage is in place — wherever needed, and that it’s visible and not hidden by other signage or obstacles - Ensure registration and media tables are prepared and stocked with necessary items 🖋 📝 ✏️(such as blank name badges, paper, pens, tape, stapler, etc.) - Ensure that there’s enough 🍔 🍱 food and 💦 water for you and your team. You need to be well fed and well hydrated to last the day! - Ensure all 🎁 rewards, giveaways, promotional material, etc. are in good shape and on-site - Ensure all your 💻 tech equipment is set up and working correctly. If you’re carrying 💡 lights for your booth, check them to ensure they’re all bright and sparkly - Ensure everyone on the floor is healthy, fully equipped for the day, and has clear instructions and directions for the day. In case you’re expecting VIP as guests, have someone assigned explicitly with their phone numbers, 🔑 keys, 🅿️ extra parking permits, and seating charts for them - Check-in with your 👩🏻💻 team heads to ensure that everything is on track - Check-in with 🧑🍳 catering and any 💰 sponsor teams that are attending Trade shows, Exhibitions, Summits, Conferences, Fairs In a trade show, you are one stall in many. You need to find a way to stand out and shine. What can you do to make your booth be the one everyone wants to come to? Here are some actionable tips: - Use the attendees at the event to publicize you. Have brightly colored cloth bags made with your business name and logo and give them out. You know everyone’s going to have goodies being given out. How are your attendees going to carry them around? This is not only thoughtful but smart too! - Set up an old-school game at your stall. Something big and bright. Maybe a wheel of fortune? - Collaborate with other vendors at the fair and work out a mutually beneficial arrangement where you direct attendees to each other’s booths. - Have a caricature artist come in or a lettering artist who can personalize favors you may be handing out at your booth. The objective of an event is to book a meeting or a demo. Every conversation you have should take you a step closer to that goal. Your event strategy may change whether you’re walking the floor or have a booth, but the goal is the same. - Move around and motivate attendees to visit your booth or book a meeting. When planning your event, set a concrete goal of a certain number of attendees to engage or a target number of warm leads to generate and stay focused on meeting it. If you do have the option of walking the room, ensure that you know of the layout of the room beforehand so you can make the most of it. - Ensure that whoever is staffing the booth has a list of your prioritized accounts and your target audience. Check to see if people approaching your booth are from companies on your list. If someone ticks off all boxes on your target audience checklist, establish an instant connection and fix a meeting on the spot. The goal at an on-ground event is to get as much traffic to your booth as possible. The higher your footfall, the higher the chance of conversions. Footfall converts cold leads to warm leads. Rewards and giveaways can help you make those leads warmer. Memories and how you leave people feeling are things your guests will carry back with them, whether or not anything else goes home. So creating an event that is exclusively yours gives you the advantage of being able to do what you want with it and create memorable experiences for your guests. Use Rewards to Maximize Engagement at Your Event Anything worth doing is worth doing well. So the best rewards are those that tie into your message and serve a purpose. And of course, when they are things people WANT. Actions Users can Take for Rewards Here are some ideas to get you thinking on how to encourage participation by offering rewards - Social Media Posts: Get attendees to promote your sales by using your event hashtag on a social media post while at your booth. Reward them in exchange for their post. - Newsletter Sign Up: Have attendees sign up for your newsletter at your booth. All you need is a mobile device with an internet connection. - Sign up for a Product Demo: Reward anyone who signs up for a product demo with you. Pro Tip: Tie in rewards customers have to come back to you with through these sales promotions. This can be anything from a discount coupon on a future sale, a gift certificate, or maybe even a more significant budget gift for those clients who sign up for your services on the spot! Choice of Rewards Picking the right gift won’t only increase your chances of being remembered by your attendees, they’ll also attract a lot more traffic to your booth. Here are a couple of considerations you can use to help you figure out how to pick the right gift 1. Your target demographic You’ve already done your groundwork and understood your target audience. Now think about what they’d like. Also, look at where your event is happening. For example, is it a rainy city where your attendees could use an umbrella? How about a nicely branded bag that attendees can collect all their freebies from the event and carry home with them? 2. Your Receiver’s Persona Once you’ve figured out your target demographic, use it to understand your receiver’s persona. Giving out rewards that are persona-specific is a great way to increase the chances of a returning customer. It also becomes more likely for the giftee to claim and use the reward. 3. Get Creative - Reward with an Experience to Remember Transporting physical gifts to events is an additional cost. You could consider avoiding giving out physical gifts and look at creating fun giveaways instead - a meal at a fancy restaurant, a guided tour of a city that the conference is in, a voucher from a store that’s redeemable. 4. Changing Reward Trends: Don’t miss the bus! Gifts like trends are constantly changing. USB drives were fantastic half a decade ago. Not so much anymore. I remember going to an event where I came back with a stress ball from a booth. It was light and fun but didn’t make it back home. So what works and what doesn’t? Xoxoday’s reward catalog is ever-evolving with the trendiest rewards with 21000+ global rewards, including countries like the USA, Australia, Singapore, India, Qatar, Japan, and so many more already listed. Park My Rewards | Case Study Integration has become a business need today. GetMyParking approached Xoxoday to help with their rewards. Rewards were based on surveys conducted to understand their market (North America). These physical surveys needed to be automated to increase responses. Xoxoday helped by integrating a rewards program into a platform they already used and sending out person-specific incentives instead of generic rewards to every person who completed the survey. Personalization shows you care, and this is a real-life example. Want more details? Check out the case study here. Pro Tip: Make sure to collect the email addresses of visitors so you can go from nurturing them and ultimately converting. Stage Four: Nurture It’s great if you could convert some customers on the spot at the event. Even if you don’t manage to, it’s alright! Do not underestimate the ones that engaged but didn’t buy. Maybe they need a little bit of a nudge, and the right nurturing can take your association a long way. Social media today is the loudest way to nurture leads. Use it to your advantage. Have a social media account that is active, interactive, and updated. (Remember, we suggested that you reward people for following your social media pages?) If you already have a nurturing email sequence in place, nothing like it. Else you can draw inspiration from EmailMastery. Emails are also a great way to push your content to leads and progress them to buying decisions. Whether you are a participant at a trade fair or running an event of your own, nurturing through emails is the best way to boost your leads. Here is a sequence for nurturing through emails you can follow: How you time the sending of your emails is super important as well. Bombarding your client with five emails in 24 hours, for example, will make it seem like you’re trying too hard, almost spamming. So timing is everything. Incentivize Leads with Rewards in Your Nurturing Sequence Sending out free resources in your emails is a great way to make someone feel like they’re getting an additional freebie along with being a part of an exclusive members club. This process will begin with having a lead submit their email address to you in exchange for a freebie. And that becomes the point you start your nurturing from. Use a mix of text and emojis in your email subject lines to make them pop in the receiver’s inbox. Use a hook to create interest that forces the receiver into looking inside the email. Here are some smashing subject lines we found that you can draw inspiration from: - 🥳 Figgers Wireless: " BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR! 50% OFF EVERYTHING!” - Apartment Therapy: “Why You Should Keep Your Clothes in the Freezer.” - Dollar Shave Club: “Open up and say wowie zowie!” - Brooks Brothers: “Up to 40% off trousers & sport coats. It’s a tailor-made sale.” - Rakuten: “🌹Will you accept this Double Cash Back?” - Groupon: “Hey... Were You Gonna Delete This?” - 🔥 Hot freebie alert! 15 free gifts, you pick 5. - 👗 Free (Cool!) Clothes Alert 👖 - We Saw You Checking Us Out 😏 - 1,750 points for you. Valentine's flowers & more for them Pro Tip: Trigger buying decisions for leads through rewards, special offers, credits, etc. in your email nurturing sequence Stage Five: Convert Adding value to an event is the first step in the right direction towards conversions. Continuing to add value through nurturing emails takes you closer to gaining the next customer in line. An effectively built sales funnel that’s sealed will help you with maximizing warm leads to customers. - Always follow up 🏃🏻 - It doesn’t 🔚 at the event. You need to remind your leads that you are available to provide services. - Make special notes of the leads that were warm at the event. Follow up with a 📞 phone call, if you can - Respond in a ⏰ timely manner - If you’ve promised someone something at the event, 📨 send it across to them quickly – whether it’s a brochure, a quote for your services or any other commitment you made - When emails you send out are responded to, reply to them in 🏪 24 hours of receiving them - Optimize your 👩🏻💻 web experience - Provide☝🏼one click sign up and sign in options - 🛠 Update your website regularly - Ensure your website is 😌 easy to navigate - Make sure the UI is 🥳 fun and friendly - Minimize form fields that users need to 📝 fill - Simplify your 🛒 check out and payment process - Use 📣 social media - Connect 🤝 with those who are engaging with social media posts - Be active in the 💬 comments section - choose to reply to comments, especially those, if any that show your service in poor light - 💲Invest in a CRM tool Sum and Summation When planning an event, don’t be afraid to think out of the box, implement ideas that sound crazy, or run wacky campaigns to create awareness. In a world where you need to be noticed, never be afraid to do what it takes. Here’s summing up key takeaways, tips, and tricks from what we’ve shared above: - Use the time before the event to create a buzz. Remind your audience of your existence. Send fun emails, run social media campaigns. Use a hashtag across all social media. - At an event, sell your brand, your story. Sales of your product or service will follow automatically. - Create a human connection. Don’t be afraid to step out from behind the counter or outside your booth. The goal is to establish a connection, strike up a conversation and leave the attendee with a little more than what (s)he walked in with. - Work hard on creating and distributing quality content through your emails and other marketing techniques. The more value you add, the better your chances of conversion. - Rewards are an almost sure-shot way of retention. Giving out rewards that speak to your audience will make them feel like you care about them. So think long and hard about what you want to give away. - The rewards you choose to distribute must be in sync with the message your business stands for. Give rewards to be remembered, not junked. Here are some ideas around rewards in the festive season. If you like what you see, you can book a demo with us right now!
It may seem like a silly statement, but it's one of those things that is all too often forgotten – perhaps the most important thing in creating a television show or film is the ability to tell a good story. Many times storytelling takes a backseat to production styles, editing techniques, or performances. All of those things are, unquestionably, important, but when it comes right down to it, if a creative team can't tell the story there is going to be something fundamentally lacking in whatever gets produced. And, looked at from the opposite side, if one has the ability to tell a great story to tell it, it can be forgiven if some of the other elements are not as sharp as, perhaps they should be. In the end, it is the performances, the editing, the production style, and all the other ancillary things that ought to be put into service to tell the story, not vice versa. Importantly, very importantly, the story itself need not be the greatest, deepest, most profound story ever, it just needs to be well told. The upcoming DVD release Shaun the Sheep: Back in the Ba-a-ath, produced by Nick Park and Aardman Animation (the folks behind Wallace & Gromit) features storytelling at its finest. The series, which has appeared on the Disney Channel, features brief episodes, each approximately (on average) six to seven minutes in length. Featured in the series is Shaun, his sheep friends, Bitzer the sheepdog, The Farmer, and The Naughty Pigs. Filmed using the same sort of stop-motion techniques Aardman has used to great success in Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit, and other Aardman work. And, just as in those other Aardman works, there is a sense of wit and cleverness in each of the eight episodes of Shaun the Sheep included on this DVD. Shaun, for those who don't know, first appeared in the Wallace & Gromit short "A Close Shave." He subsequently appeared in Cracking Contraptions before finally being given a chance to shine by himself, and shine he does. Though " just" a sheep, Shaun, as with all of Aardman's animals, is highly anthropomorphized. Shaun and the rest of the Flock spend the vast majority of their time trying to outwit The Farmer, Bitzer, and anyone else who might get in their way. In "Take Away," a typical episode of the series, the Flock finds itself distressed that The Farmer dared to get pizza and did not share any with them. Consequently, a few of the sheep dress up as a human and venture into town to get some for themselves. Along the way they scare and mystify people before somehow managing to convince the pizza guy to give them their pies despite their lack of cash. Perhaps it is because stop-motion animation is an incredibly difficult process and consequently even the tiniest elements of the production have to be worked out in advance, but Shaun the Sheep has the sense of being perfectly put together. Even the smallest of jokes are well-thought out and executed. In the end, Shaun the Sheep is an incredibly amount of fun for both young and old. Some of the jokes are too subtle for younger viewers, though all will enjoy watching the truly odd antics of the Flock, things like a Rocky-esque montage in the episode "Shape up with Shaun" in which Shirley the Sheep attempts to lose weight. Shaun the Sheep doesn't attempt to tell large stories; they all range from the aforementioned ones to things like problems during bath time, but the stories are all well-executed, and, more impressively, they all use a minimal amount of — if any — dialogue. However, anyone watching will easily be able to discern what is taking place. The DVD is short on extras. It contains a sing-a-long version of the theme as bonus material and that's it. Worse than that, rather than placing the words on top of the video, the video is made tiny and the words are placed underneath it. And, oddly, if one hits "play all" from the menu, the sing-a-long and some trailers for other shows play after each of the episodes of the show finish. Even so, Shaun the Sheep is great where it really counts, in keeping the audience truly entranced at the characters on screen and their antics.

For many people who have arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome or other chronic inflammatory condition, pain can become a daily way of life. When this happens, it is tempting to reach for that bottle of aspirin or ibuprofen to take the edge off. However, even over-the-counter medications like these come with side effects, including damage to the hearing and to the gastro-intestinal system, especially the stomach. The good news is that there are natural ways to help reduce the inflammation – and thus the pain – associated with many of these disease processes. Below is a list of 21 foods that are great for managing both inflammation and pain while giving the immunity a boost at the same time. Ginger – Ginger’s strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties made it more effective at pain relief than ibuprofen in several studies. Acai Juice – Acai berries are native to the Amazon area and have been used for centuries by native peoples for pain reduction and to increase energy levels. Coffee – Studies have shown that coffee is particularly useful for headaches as it helps to constrict blood vessels and is often found as an adjuvant in OTC pain relievers. Olive Oil – The polyphenols in olive oil have the well-documented ability to reduce pain-causing mechanisms in the body and are great for heart health, too. Sage – For sore throats from the flu, bronchitis or allergies, sip some sage tea, which has been shown to soothe down irritated mucous membranes and relieve pain. Almonds – The Omega 3 fatty acids in almonds are great for relieving stiffness and inflammation. Walnuts – Walnuts and the oil made from them are also a rich source of inflammation-reducing Omega-3’s. Leafy Green Vegetables – Spinach, kale, arugula and other leafy greens are high in Vitamin K, which is necessary for joint health and flexibility. Purple Grapes – The resveratrol found in purple grapes has an analgesic effect similar to aspirin. Flax Seeds – Flax seeds, like almonds and walnuts, are also high in anti-inflammatory Omega’s 3 fatty acids. Turmeric – Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory both. Salmon – This fatty fish is an excellent source of Omega 3’s to bring down inflammation. Mackerel – Mackerel is another important source for Omega 3 fatty acids. Herring – Like mackerel and salmon, this fatty fish will also provide a wealth of Omega 3’s. Celery – This crunchy, delicious vegetable contains more than 20 anti-inflammatory compounds. Tart Cherries – The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of tart cherries make it as effective as aspirin or ibuprofen at pain relief. Blackberries – Like cherries, blueberries are rich in antioxidants and heat-shock proteins, which help to bring down inflammation. Raspberries – Raspberries are also antioxidant-rich and contain heat-shock proteins. Blueberries – Blueberries are another great source of antioxidants to help relieve pain and boost immunity. Strawberries – Strawberries have the same antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits as the berries listed above. Cayenne Pepper – The capsaicin in cayenne pepper has made it a favorite for arthritis treatment due to its incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Adding these foods to the diet on the regular basis is a natural, healthy way to boost the immune system and reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and similar conditions.

Yunnan BaiYao literally translated “Yunnan White Medicine” should be in every household medicine cabinet. It is great to include with your camping bag or your Bug Out Bag. Yunnan BaiYao has gained recognition thanks to many of the Natural News writers. However the proper application has not been noted. Besides stopping bleeding on an open cut, Yunnan BaiYao is also an analgesic for pain caused by trauma or what TCM calls blood stagnation. The analgesic effect is more effective when taken internally. Because of this the Yunnan BaiYao is far more superior than any “Veterinary Blood Stop Powder” which it has been compared to at one point. Generic Veterinary Blood Stop Powder has ammonia and aluminum which can be toxic to the body and it does not reduce pain. Therefore these Generic Veterinary Blood Stop Powder can not be ingested internally and it has no medicinal purpose when ingested. Yunnan BaiYao can easily be comparable to QuickClot with more benefits. Yunnan BaiYao contains all natural ingredients from plants that is completely safe for the body. The formula is still very secretly guarded by the Chinese government, which is more of the process of making it then the actual ingredients in it. The ingredients are listed in the packaging. Two of the most important ingredients are San Qi (panax notoginseng) and Shan Yao (Chinese Yam.) Panax notoginseng is one of the strongest analgesic herbs in TCM for blood stagnation. Panax notoginseng is one of the most underrated herbs in the Western world. Panax notoginseng has been used to treat certain cancers. History of Yunnan BaiYao falls back to a famous TCM doctor Qu Huanzhang who created the formula in 1902. He also provided the formula to the south Vietnamese soldiers and the Chinese army. The soldiers carry it in the their emergency first aid kit. The formula has been in use for over 100 years. These days Yunnan BaiYao is in every Chinese soldier emergency kit. Yunnan BaiYao comes in various forms. Besides in the original form as a powder form in a vial, it can be found as a capsule or a plaster too. I only recommend the powder form. The plaster has unnatural chemicals in it. The powdered formula has multiple purposes. First it is a coagulant when applied topically, meaning it seals a cut. Second it is an analgesic stronger than aspirin for traumatic injuries or what TCM calls blood stagnation. The best way to use it as an analgesic is to taken internally. Yunnan BaiYao heals by initiating white blood cell activities and promote blood circulation. It also resolve pus and counteract toxin. Using the Yunnan BaiYao (powder) Topical Application for Cuts: 1. Remove the glass vial from the box and unscrew the cap. 2. Save the RED BALL with the cotton and save it!!! This is very important!! (The Red Ball is not a desiccant!) 3. Spread the powder evenly over the open wound and watch it stop bleeding instantly. (Use sparingly.) When applied topically you will feel a gripping effect like the wound is mending together. Internal Ingestion as an Analgesic or to Stop Hemorrhaging: 1. Mix with water and drink the solution. 2. The powder can be absorbed orally too such as under the tongue but it is quite bitter. 3. For stronger effect, mix with wine. For Severe Trauma with Blood Loss Use the Red Ball saved by taking it internally with water. The Red Ball is only included in the powdered form. It is actually a pill to prevent a person from going into shock. This is a very concentrated form of Yunnan Baiyao, called Baoxianzi or “Insurance Pill for a Serious or Emergency Case.” Yunnan BaiYao, like all TCM formulas to invigorate blood, heals the body internally. It is great for internal and external bruising (trauma.) The pain will gradually fade and the bruising will go away faster with the Yunnan BaiYao. Unfortunately the Yunnan BaiYao is not cheap anymore since Obama came into office. It was $2.50 per 4 gram vial before the rise of gas prices. It is around $5 per vial now. Becareful of “copy cats” that are not the original formula. This formula is commonly found in Chinese grocery stores, which can be as cheap as $4 per 4 gram vial. No need to order online because you will not find it cheaper than in a Chinese grocery store. Save money and buy a full box. For a full box of 6 vials, you can easily get it for around $25 at these Chinese grocery stores. There is no tax to it because it is labelled as a food product. Do NOT internally take while pregnant. This herbal formula may cause abortion when taken internally. It is relatively safe for topical application. Stop hemorrhaging (bruising) Relieve chest pain due to blood stagnation or a heart attack.

As part of Master Gardener Week at the end of October, I had the opportunity to view “Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf” and participate in a discussion afterwards. This recently-released film has brought renewed attention to the gardens and landscapes created by this internationally-renowned designer. His popular public garden designs, and several books, have had a profound impact on the design of public spaces, as well as private gardens. Oudolf’s gardens have been described as spontaneous, immersive and naturalistic, and rely heavily on grasses and structural perennials to maintain visual interest well into the winter. They evoke flower-filled meadows and prairies, and seem at first glance like places that could, indeed, have occurred spontaneously. Oudolf himself acknowledges, though, that they require a certain amount of “interference”, and his design process is comprehensive and very specific. He has a palette of plants that he has tested over time for durability and effect. During the bloom season, one imagines these gardens will be buzzing with pollinators, and be places of lively, hungry activity. When it comes to pollinators, it seems, almost any garden is better than no garden at all, and a garden doesn’t need to be designed especially for pollinators in order to offer benefits to them. As research in this lab has shown, though, a garden designed specifically to be pollinator friendly has an outsized impact. So I wondered, how pollinator-friendly are Oudolf’s naturalistic gardens, really? On the positive side: • Lots of flowers. From early season to late, things are blooming. Plants are left standing well into winter, providing seed and shelter. • Little or no use of pesticides. • Native plants are often included, though there is no particular emphasis on them. On the negative side: • Maintenance involves cutting everything to the ground in late winter. This destroys the winter homes of cavity-nesting bees that use the stems. At the Lurie garden in Chicago, this problem was recognized and steps were taken to leave some stems standing. • Lack of layering. The iconic Oudolf garden is composed almost entirely of herbaceous perennials, with trees and large shrubs lacking. This limits the provision of food and habitat for a variety of creatures. I believe pollinators could be better supported by Oudolf-style gardens with three simple changes. • Keep mowed areas to a minimum. Group plants with good winter nesting stems, and leave them standing until they are covered by new growth. • Include and group small groups of larger plants such as suitable small trees and shrubs. • Prioritize native plants where possible. If you would like to know more about Piet Oudolf’s gardens, plant choices, and design process, here are some reference materials. And if you get the chance, watch the film “Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf”. Dream Plants for the Natural Garden by Henk Gerritsen and Piet Oudolf, Timber Press 2000 Essentially a catalog (although not all plants are pictured) of plants that Oudolf has culled to be “reliable plants that, over the years, can be maintained in an average garden without too much in the way of artificial props and bolstering”. Many of them “look good dead”, too. These are the plants he uses in his designs. They are divided into categories of Tough Perennials (the longest section by far), Playful Biennials and Annuals, Troublesome Invasive Plants, and Troublesome Capricious Plants – hardly the usual categories! If you are an experienced gardener and want an invaluable reference for plants that will enhance your natural garden without requiring loads of work, this book is for you. Planting Design: Gardens in Time and Space by Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury, Timber Press 2005 On the other hand, if you are not an experienced gardener, this book might be a better place to start. It is a thrifty introduction to the concepts of how gardens fit into nature, and vice versa, and how plants can be used through space – and time! – to create the desired outcomes. There are many lists of plants for specific purposes, such as Small Trees to combine with perennials, and Biennials for self-sowing, and a short but useful section on how to prepare for, implement, and maintain a planting of this sort. Planting: A New Perspective by Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury, Timber Press 2013 This book builds on the previous two, offering a detailed look at the techniques and philosophy Oudolf uses to design his gardens, as well as specific ways in which he uses plants in them. A season-by-season guide dissects various effects and combinations, and a chart towards the end concisely organizes many of the plants used. One of the most interesting concepts is that of matrix planting. For more detail on the creation of specific gardens by Piet Oudolf, there are also books on Hummelo, the High Line, and Durslade Farm. The Self-Sustaining Garden by Peter Thompson, Timber Press 2007 In this book matrix planting is presented in great detail. This is an effective and efficient way of designing intermingled plantings without having to specify the location of each and every plant. The matrix (often grasses) may be made up of several plant species, and serves as a stage for other, showier compatible plants embedded in it. Dramatic Effects with Architectural Plants by Noel Kingsbury, Overlook Press, 1997 Oudolf’s chief writing partner has produced many noteworthy books himself. As the title describes, this book focuses on plants with strong and dramatic architecture. Having some of these in the mix is a key technique that makes Oudolf’s designs work. Naturalistic Planting Design by Nigel Dunnett, filbert press 2019 With a foreword by, who else, Piet Oudolf, this is one of the most recent entries in the category of books focusing on natural or naturalistic design. It’s a dense book with at least as much text as photography, covering garden lore from historic, through contemporary, and looking to the future. Basic design principles, as they pertain to a naturalistic design, are also presented, along with a series of case studies illustrated by seasonal photos. Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest by Arthur Kruckeberg and Linda Chalker-Scott, University of Washington Press, 2019. And finally, if you want to use PNW native plants to achieve Oudolf-like effects in your garden, this recent book is an accessible, thorough, well-illustrated guide to those plants. You will find it easy to browse through for plants that have the look you want. Symbols by each photo give a hint as to each plant’s cultural requirements. The blog Gardenista has several lovely entries on aspects of Oudolf’s designs. https://www.gardenista.com/posts/?t=oudolf#search Piet talks about current projects in this recent interview: https://www.hauserwirth.com/ursula/29413-attached-world-piet-oudolf-garden-life If you want LOTS of pictures to look at, try Piet Oudolf’s Flickr photostream, https://www.flickr.com/photos/10470961@N03/ Or his own website https://oudolf.com/
For the last few weeks there have been a small but very dedicated group of parents coming in each week to read with the children. Book Talk is not only a lovely moment for the children to enjoy reading with a range of different community members but is also a fantastic way to develop a love of literature through enjoying reading together, discussing different books and texts and drawing attention to the smaller details that authors and illustrators use to draw readers in, keep them engaged and develop curiosities. What would be really fantastic is if there were a few more parents available to come in and read with the children, especially Dad’s! This would provide a wider range of community members to read with and also mean the children can read in smaller groups! No need to confirm your availability – just rock up on Friday mornings, sign in at the office and come to the neighbourhood and await selection! The more the merrier! Hope to see you there!
