The hotel industry is a highly competitive market where supply can often outweigh demand, and the fact that many hotels have been experiencing low occupancy rates in the last two years due to COVID-19, which results in opportunities for travelers to get the cheapest hotel deals, as long as you have the right tools to find those opportunities. This article will show you the most feasible hotel-saving tips, followed by a step-by-step list of actions you can take to book a hotel while planning your next trip. How much money you can save depends on how much effort you put into the hotel booking process. There’s no mysterious process to crack, all it takes is the right knowledge and a little digging. Using corporate discount rates Hotel corporate rates (or Hotel negotiated rates) are discounted prices agreed between an organization and a hotel for a set period. The organization gets a better deal on their hotel rates and, in return, the hotel receives a higher volume of bookings. Corporate rates provide the discount necessary for employees to travel effectively for work. As you can imagine the larger the organization’s travel budget typically leads to a bigger discount. For example, a major corporation like IBM may negotiate corporate rates with a hotel chain like Marriott to obtain a steeply discounted rate that will be used for corporate travel for its employees. Here are the public rates at the St. Regis Toronto from Thursday, September 17 to Friday, September 18. And here is the same room on corporate rates: As you can tell, this represents a significant discount of $440, or 58% on the lowest publicly available rate. Keep in mind corporate rates typically also offer flexible cancellation policies (business travelers often change their plans on a last-minute basis, after all), so imagine the possibilities if you could stretch your hotel budget 50–75% farther across every stay while benefiting from flexible cancellation policies throughout. Ok, now the question is, who is eligible to use the corporate discount rate? I am not an employee of a large company, can I take advantage of the corporate discount rate? If you are interested, keep exploring: How To Get Hotel Corporate Rates Via Corporate Codes? Use a travel rewards credit card One of the easiest ways to save hundreds on travel is by signing up for a travel rewards credit card. With so many card issuers competing for your business, there are massive point bonuses to be had simply by signing up for the card and hitting the minimum spend requirement, simply by using the card for your everyday purchases. You would book the hotel anyway, so why not book with a credit card that pumps 1.5% cashback (or equivalent points) straight into your account. Use a credit card with travel-specific rewards and no foreign transaction fees. For example, A hotel in San Diego, California costs you US$ 400 for 5 nights, you can automatically subtract US$ 6. It might not sound much but those small sums add up each time you book a hotel. After 10 hotels you have US$ 60 in your account that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. They are the fine margins helping you get the cheapest possible hotel bookings. And how much effort do you have to make? None. Use your credit card to buy anything from gas to groceries and online purchases. Build your points/cash back total and eventually use the travel rewards card cash/points accrued for booking flights, trains, hotels, and so on. Plus, you’ll incur no foreign transaction fees on purchases, which is the major draw of the card – the cashback is just a bonus. Travel rewards credit cards are a no-brainer for regular travelers. Sign up for a hotel’s loyalty programs Loyalty rates (or member rates) are what big hotel chains offer guests who join their rewards programs and book rooms directly through the hotels instead of third-party sites. Hotels claim these are the lowest available rates for their rooms. We’ve found that it’s more complicated than that. But once you find an appealing rate at a third-party site, it’s still worth checking the hotel’s site to see if there’s a lower loyalty rate available for joining the rewards program. It won’t cost you anything, so sign up! And there’s another reason to join every free loyalty program you encounter: you can earn points toward room upgrades, hotel perks, and, perhaps most enticing, free nights. It’s pretty easy to get the latter. Hotel rewards programs grant free nights starting at 5,000 or 7,500 points, depending on the chain—and you earn up to 10 points for every dollar you spend at their properties. This is the most simple form of booking the cheapest hotels every time you travel. The rewards you receive on hotel bookings far outweigh the odd promotional email clogging up your inbox. Book in advance with a Non-refundable rate Conversely, if you can guarantee your dates, booking in advance with a non-refundable caveat can save you a lot of money. For example, here are the prices for the Residence Inn in Cape Canaveral for a weekend stay at the end of the month. The flexible member rate is $359 for the two-night stay. The prepay Non-refundable rate is much lower, only costing $269 for the same room. That’s a $45 difference per night or $90 for the stay. You have to decide if you’re willing to risk losing $269 if you need to cancel to save $90. We always book non-refundable rooms when we are certain of the dates. There’s a small risk factor in case of any unplanned issues but the low risk is worth it for the cost difference. Big savings on hotels often comes down to risk vs reward. Check prices directly with hotels It’s useful to begin your hotel search with the accommodation-focused aggregator site of your choice (such as Hotels.com, Booking.com). These sites can give you a general idea of what your hotel options are in a city or even a specific neighborhood, which is especially useful if you’ve never been there before. While comparison sites can offer great deals, don’t hesitate to call the hotel’s front desk to see if they can offer a better deal, or at least match the lower price. Instead of calling the 800 reservation numbers, call the hotel directly. The people who work at that specific hotel are far more likely to be able to arrange things like a discount or a room upgrade than people at a call center. If you stay at a hotel regularly, keeping a friendly relationship with it and booking directly can also increase your perks. Look for Last-Minute Deals Last-minute hotel bookings are a gamble, sometimes they pay off and other times they don’t. Hotels don’t want empty rooms and punters want the cheapest last-minute hotel rooms available – so this is a great tool for those who prefer to travel with maximum flexibility. Last-minute travel deals can be the key to cutting costs no matter where you’re headed. It pays off if you travel out of season to a big city such as New York or Los Angeles because they have hundreds of hotels to fill. It doesn’t pay off if you need a hotel in a small town / rural area or a big city in peak season. Hotel Tonight is a hotel booking search engine designed to get the best last-minute deals for travelers. The greater the population or tourist attraction, the better this method works. You will have ultimate flexibility, which is top priority for some travelers, but you will typically have significantly reduced hotel options. If you are interested, keep exploring: How to Get Last-Minute Hotel Deals? Book someone’s Non-refundable reservation Have you ever considered what happens to a hotel room when a guest books a non-refundable stay but can’t make it? That’s right, the guest loses money and a potential hotel room for other visitors to that place is empty. A new service called Roomer allows you to reserve a hotel room that someone else has booked but can no longer use, and is non-refundable. By offering someone else’s set booking, the original buyer gets some money back, and you get a reduced rate. Win-win for all! Book longer stays to save Staying at hotels for more nights will often drive the average cost down on a per-night basis. Because it eliminates your room having to be cleaned and guarantees hotel occupancy, particularly in low / shoulder season. For example, You’re looking at hotels in Jackson, Wyoming to visit Grand Teton and Yellowstone. One night at a hotel you like in Jackson Hole costs US$ 70, 2 nights costs US$ 130 and 3 nights cost US$ 180. The average nightly price drops each time. The take-home for this tip is to look at prices for 1 night, 2 nights, 3 nights etc to see what happens with the total cost. Be aware, this will not always be the case and you may have to spend time looking at different hotels to see this tip in action – but it does work and we always look for it. This is particularly relevant if you’re planning a road trip with a series of 1 night stays as you move from city to city or national park to national park. It could pay to spend more nights in fewer hotels.

A Plant City, Florida man was arrested Sunday morning after leading law enforcement officials on a high-speed pursuit overnight on a motorcycle with a fake license plate that read “MCLOVIN.” FOX 13 in Tampa reported that according to troopers, 30-year-old Jesse Rivera was seen weaving in and out of cars on his motorcycle at approximately 110 mph in a 45 mph zone at approximately 12:15 a.m. of Sunday. The motorcycle, authorities said, had a fake Hawaiian tag “MCLOVIN,” a reference to the movie “Superbad.” In the film, a character has a fake Hawaiian ID named “McLovin”. SPOTTED SCOOTER CRUISING IN OWNER’S CAR AFTER PLAYROOM CONFIGURATION A Florida Highway Patrol trooper pulled up behind Rivera and turned on the patrol car’s lights and sirens, but when Rivera turned around and saw a trooper behind him, he allegedly began to speed away. The trooper reportedly turned off his lights and sirens and observed the motorcyclist from a distance, the station reported. While he watched from afar, an officer from the St. Petersburg Police Department and a Pinellas County sheriff’s deputy attempted to conduct traffic stops, although Rivera was never stopped for either. Still watching from a distance, the trooper reportedly said Rivera crossed the Gandy Bridge at about 15 mph over the speed limit before exiting the bridge and making a series of turns until he came to a stop at the intersection of SR-60 and 50th Street. FLORIDA MAN ‘ATTEMPTED TO CIRCUMCISE’ PEKIDI COUSIN WHO MADE BABY: POLICE Rivera then allegedly turned and saw the trooper and then tried to kick his bike into gear, but a gear slipped, police said, killing the engine. He then tried to get the motorcycle back into gear, picked up the bike and went around the blocking patrol car. Instead, the trooper got out of his vehicle, grabbed Rivera and pulled him off the bike. In the process of pulling Rivera off his bike, the motorcycle fell on both the trooper and the suspect. FLORIDA COLLEGE STUDENT CAUGHT IN BANANA COSTUME AFTER ALLEGEDLY PEEING ON SIDEWALK FOX 13 reported that officials claim Rivera was ordered not to move as the trooper handcuffed him. At one point, Rivera told the trooper that the bike was on his leg and he was injured. The trooper pulled the motorcycle from Rivera’s leg and then called EMS. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Emergency responders took Rivera to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a broken leg. Once dealt with, he was taken to the Hillsborough County Jail on a single count of fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer at a high rate of speed.

Occasionally, in the course of The Boy’s job, the need will arise for him to make a last-minute jaunt. Sometimes, this means I get to haul myself out of bed very early and drop him at the airport. Sometimes, it means I look at my schedule, do a bit of calculation, and declare my intent to join him. One of those calculations found us here on Sunday morning. And yes, that is snow on the hillside. It was rather brisk. I was glad of my fetching woolly hat. We saw a host of mysterious sea denizens. I have no idea what this is but I’m fairly sure it hates me and wants me to suffer. And I reminded myself, repeatedly, that the rocks are never ever as pretty once they’re home and dry (seriously though, look at the colors…excellent beach rocks in these parts). We’re headed back home shortly, but not before I make a pilgrimage to Webs. I will take the proper camera, I will wear comfortable shoes, and I will bring snacks. Then I will report back, assuming of course I can be convinced to leave and don’t accidentally set up residence. Wish me luck.

Even a huge contract signed last winter may not be enough to put pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez back in the Baltimore Orioles starting rotation reports the Baltimore Sun. Jimenez sprained his right ankle over a month ago and has been slow to heal. With the recent success of the Orioles rotation manager Buck Showalter is hesitant to move anyone around meaning that Jimenez could be tabbed for long relief duty for the time being. The Orioles signed Jimenez to a four-year deal worth $50 million in February. Though 18 starts with the Orioles he owns a 3-8 record to go with a 4.52 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. He last pitched on July 5. Of course it is just as likely that the Orioles end up starting Jimenez on Friday. Stay tuned.

Emergency Lighting and Exit Signs Maintenance Emergency Lighting and Exit Signs One of the worst times to realize your emergency lighting isn’t working is during a power outage or emergency when it’s actually needed. With proper testing and inspection you’ll be able to rely on the fact that your emergency signs and lighting are all functioning properly. The minimum time that is required to keep the lighting working in an emergency situation is 90 minutes, that way during the time that the signs and lighting are illuminated people can evacuate the building and premises safely and efficiently. This is why it’s so important to make sure that you have your emergency lighting and exit signs inspected and maintained. During your inspection, testing and maintenance of your emergency lighting and exit signs, a Titan Alarm technician will make sure to inspect all of the units in your building and premises, and make sure the lights are all working when they are needed in an emergency or power outage. Each of the units that are being tested, will be trigged to their emergency stages, to check that all of the lighting and signs are functioning for 90 minutes. Codes and Standards Every business and their premises need to abide by certain codes and regulations set by the local, state and federal government. All of these requirements will affect different areas of a business, things like accessibility, environment and systems, and more for different businesses. The International Building Code or best known as IBC for short, sets most standards for buildings. Not every building and business though, is required to listen to every rule and code the IBC sets. The International Building Code and National Fire Protection Many of the standards that the IBC has in place have to do with fire safety and prevention for businesses. With such a large focus on fire safety and prevention, it shows just how important it is to maintain and have your systems checked and inspected regularly. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sets all of the standards for fire safety related practices. The National Electric Code, also known as the NFPA 70 is the code that requires you to make sure that the emergency lighting and exit lights are all under a specific type and code, to make sure they are all functioning properly. The NFPA rules, codes and regulations do require you to make sure you regularly keep a certain level and standard of different safety measures. The codes also require you to keep your emergency lighting and exit signage in fully operational and functional. NFPA 101 and What You Need To Do The Life Safety Code, or also known as the NFPA 101 is by far one of the most important codes your business and premises need to follow. Part of this code requires that you have a monthly inspection done of your business’s emergency lighting and exit signs. Requiring that each unit be tested for a minimum of at least 30 seconds. Titan Alarm wants to help you and your business be compliant with the NFPA codes and local, state and federal regulations for the safety of your business and it’s employees. To get in touch with a Titan Alarm technician give us a call today and we can set an appointment to have a technician out on your premises.

The rule for writing Curriculum Vitae (CV) for the master’s degree programs study abroad is not the same as for applying for regular jobs. In your Curriculum Vitae, you will need to show your achievements to the admission committee that your skills are suitable for the master’s program. This CV writing is not only for admission but also helps you when you apply for an abroad scholarship. The following CV tips will help you to prepare your future Master’s program admission application: #1. Difference Between A Curriculum And A Curriculum Vitae? Do You Know the Difference between a Resume and Curriculum Vitae? Don’t worry. While both documents contain a short history of the applicant. A resume focuses more on your professional achievement and on another side, Curriculum Vitae highlights your academic accomplishments. Consequently, most master’s admission applications required a CV. The main exception is when you apply for an MBA; In this case, most universities request your resume. #2. Focus On Your Academic Background A golden rule for writing a CV for a master’s application is to emphasize your academic accomplishments over professional achievement. You should definitely mention your job’s work experience but mention your educational detail more in detail. In addition to identifying your alma mater, the degree you obtained and when you graduated, you should mention some of the most relevant courses you have taken and the academic awards you have obtained, especially those most relevant to your field of study. But don’t rush in your description. Each entry in your CV only contains necessary and to-the-point information in three to four bullets. #3. Internships And Volunteer Work Matter More Internships or volunteer work show admissions directors what their interests are, but also that they are willing to work hard for reasons other than immediate financial gains. If you want to change academic areas, volunteer work or internships can help close the gap between your current and desired specialization. Volunteer work and internship not only show your interest to the admission committee, but also that you are willing to work hard to obtain your goal, not for financial gains. Here you can focus on what you have done in a previous internship or volunteer work, not what you think. Provide short and necessary information to the admission officer so they can draw conclusions about you. Teaching experience impresses more to the admission committee more because that is half of what academia is about. So be sure and don’t forget to mention internship, volunteering work, or paid position in which you were a teacher or teacher assistant. #4. Use Powerful Language And Have A Clear Structure The ideal CV length is only 1–2 pages. What About CV Conclusion? A CV is not a regular document where you can waste words and add unnecessary fluff. You should choose meaningful words so they can convey a lot about your achievements in a limited space. Watch out for internet clichés taken from CV templates or examples, which will only tell the admission committee that you read an article about how to write a CV. This includes buzzwords like “detail-oriented”, which the commission already heard one too many times. The structure of your CV is also very important for your master’s application, and a Well-structured CV should include the following: - The header Of the CV starts with your name and contact detail - Clearly define the Section of the CV with a heading for technical content e.g. ‘relevant work experience, ‘area of interest, ‘skills’ - Include Description, usually in bullet point style - All entries in reserve order, most recent to earliest Typical Sections To Include In Your Academic CV: - Research Interest: This will show that you care about the same topic to which you are going to apply - Education: Mention in chronological order from latest to earliest, with the corresponding CGPA - Publications: List your publication with a hyperlink so the admission officer checks your writing work - Honors and Awards: Only mention impressive awards and honors such as winning a college scholarship - Teaching Experiences: This will show your interest in an academic career - Work Experiences: Mention your prevalent work experience if you have any - Computer Skills: Mention your computer skills which might be necessary for your applied program - Language Skills: Language tests (TOEFL, TOEFL, GRE, etc.) - Memberships: Mention if you are a member of any organization that relevant to your applied study program #5. Why Proofreading Is Important? Your CV is your “business card.” Everything you put should be presented carefully and politely. This means adapting it to each application and editing it to ensure you get the best possible light. So, carefully proofread your CV and also take help from your friends and colleagues.

Age Concern Bermuda wishes to remind the public that the first phase of the Community Engagement Process for the Admiralty House re-development will close on December 8. Following the news where Age Concern announced that they have been granted a conditional offer to develop Admiralty House by the Bermuda Government’s, Ministry of Public Works, and their intent to embark on a comprehensive community engagement process, Age Concern would like to remind the public that their online survey will close at the end of day on December 8. Tanya Bule, the Charity’s Chairman said: “As I have stated previously, it is our intent to gather as many responses from members of the community as possible to ensure the community engagement process for this project is all-inclusive, and allows all members of the community to provide their opinions, suggestions, and views on the future use of the property.” “The online survey that has been open to all residents since early November will close on Friday and we encourage those residents that have not participated to do so before then. The survey will only take approximately 12 minutes and the link to the survey is: We do ask that residents who wish to access the survey, or share with other persons, to use the full link above, as this includes the information required to direct the respondents to the correct survey. This means that they cannot use the link from the address bar of their browser after opening the survey itself. The survey is being administered by Narrative Research and they can also be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.org” Ms. Bule concluded by saying: “We have had an extremely positive response to the online survey thus far but as mentioned, we want to get as many viewpoints and suggestions from the community as possible.” Any content which is considered unsuitable, unlawful, or offensive, includes personal details, advertises or promotes products, services or websites, or repeats previous comments will be removed.

by Lisa Schonberg Emily Kingan is known in the music world as the drummer for Lovers and singer/guitarist for homocore band The Haggard. Her bands have toured the world, spreading empowering feminist messages to fans for years. Around Portland, Oregon she is also known as a lifesaver for artists and musicians when it comes time to file taxes. Kingan is an enrolled agent with the IRS and a licensed tax consultant in the state of Oregon. She also has her bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Reed College. Her company, Math LLC, provides tax preparation, accounting services, and financial consulting for individuals and small businesses. Kingan specializes in serving working artists and musicians and has first-hand knowledge of how to best serve their financial needs. Tom Tom got down to business in the following interview to explore the sometimes overwhelming details of finances with Kingan. Tom Tom: What percent of their income does an individual have to earn through music to file taxes as a musician? Kingan: If you are playing shows and/or selling your music, chances are you are required to report your music income on your tax return. According to the IRS, if you earn $400 or more, you are required to report it as “self-employment” income on a form called a schedule C, which you attach to your federal tax return. You will report your income and your related expenses on the schedule C. The good news is that musicians tend to have a lot of expenses associated with writing, recording, touring, and performing their music, and you only pay taxes on your profit (i.e. your income minus your expenses). Is it legit to keep some show and merchandise earnings “under the table?” At what point should you start tracking that as taxable income? What is the best way to keep track of this? As a licensed tax consultant, I cannot advise to keep any earnings “under the table.” All income must be reported. If you make less than $400, you would report it on line 21 of your form 1040. If you make $400 or more, you would report that on a schedule C. If you were audited by the IRS or state government, they will take a look at all your trackable income on bank statements, Square, Paypal, etc. You should also be prepared to explain how you track cash. If there is a discrepancy between your income calculated by the IRS, and what you reported on your tax return, you may face penalties and fees. As far as tracking your income and expenses, I recommend opening a dedicated bank account for your music business and running all income and expenses through that account. At the end of the year, it simplifies the process to figure your total income and parse out your expenses when they are localized to one account. I have also seen people use spreadsheets or logbooks to track income and expenses. Quickbooks is useful too, but there can be a steep learning curve with learning that software. What are the pros and cons of establishing an LLC for your band? At what point should a musician start thinking about that? When it comes to taxes, there are no direct benefits to being an established LLC. However, establishing an LLC now can save you money and lots of energy down the line if your business grows and you decide to incorporate. You may consider incorporating if you anticipate making a profit of $30,000 or more within the current tax year and future years to come. Remember that your profit is your income after subtracting expenses. The cost of establishing and maintaining an LLC is about $100–$200 per year, depending on the state. Can a drummer write off expenses related to their music if most of their income is made through non-music related means? This can be tricky! My recommendation is to only write-off music-related expenses against music-related income. For example, if you bought a drum set, write it off against the money earned playing shows, rather than the money earned at your non-music related day job. The IRS pays special attention to income and expenses related to creative pursuits, such as musicians, photographers, and writers. They may consider these to be hobbies, in which case expenses are not allowed. If you claim music related expenses against zero music related income it will look like you had a business loss. After three years of losses, the chances of being audited greatly increases. During an audit the IRS will assess if you are legitimately pursuing music professionally. Things that can help legitimize your music career include a website, history of shows and touring, music releases, and established business bank account and/or LLC. If you accumulate a lot of music related expenses in a year without any music related income, do not fear! In a year that you do make some money playing music, you have the option of writing-off those previous expenses as “start-up costs.” Definitely track your music expenses and keep your receipts because they can really help you in a year where you earn the big bucks! Can an individual group together music and art-related earnings as one self-employment position? Yes, in this case you would call yourself simply an “artist.” Let’s say that I am about to tour as a hired gun for a pretty well known indie artist. How much of my income should I expect to be taken out in taxes? What’s my best approach for filling out the income-related forms they might give me? This depends on whether you will be treated as an employee or an independent contractor. The best deal is to be treated as an employee. In this case your employer will share the tax burden with you, and, generally, you will not owe too much tax at the end of the year since taxes will be withheld from each paycheck throughout the duration of your contract. Your employer will ask you to fill out a W-4 where you will list your exemptions. Exemptions are based on your life circumstances, such as the number of children you have, if you are married, et cetera. If you claim zero exemptions, you will have more money withheld for taxes during each paycheck. Conversely, if you claim one, two, or even three exemptions, less money will be withheld from each paycheck. My advice to filling out the W-4 is to get as close to zero exemptions as possible to avoid having to pay a lot at the end of the year. If you are hired as an independent contractor, you can expect to pay an average of 25–30 percent tax on your income (this percentage varies depending on your income tax bracket). Your employer will most likely be covering all expenses, leaving you with few expenses. To makeup for this, keep track of your itinerary and claim the per diem meal expense for each travel date (these can really add up! Find the rates at gsa.gov). Also keep track of any other music-related expenses you have during the year, even when you are not under their contract. These can be written off, too. My friend’s band has started to make a little more money at gigs, about $600–800 a show. If they take turns filling out W-9s at shows, how do they ensure that their tax burden is equal in the end? The most legit way to handle the rising success of a new band is to set up the correct business structure as early as possible. If you and your bandmates are all equal stakeholders in the project, form a partnership or partnership LLC and get a tax ID number for your band. Use your tax ID number on all the W-9s you sign. At the end of the year, you will file a partnership tax return (form 1065) and each band member will receive a K-1. You can write off band expenses on the partnership tax return and personal music-related expenses on your personal return. If you choose to forgo the partnership formation, another option is to have one band member claim 100 percent of the band revenue and expenses and then share the tax burden with that individual by having the band pay the tax on that income. The risk in this arrangement is for the one holding the financial responsibility, because if the other bandmates bail that person will be stuck with the bill. Do I have to file a 1099 if I hire musicians for my band? Do I have to file 1099s for my publicist and website manager? The IRS regulations require you to file 1099s to anyone you pay $600 or more within the tax year and who is not a corporation. Be aware that since an LLC can be a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, you will need to clarify if any of the LLCs you hire are incorporated or not. My friend is a drummer in a rock band, and they make most of their income through performing music. What kinds of things can they write off? The IRS says you can write off anything “ordinary or necessary” for someone in your line of work. Ask other musicians what they write off for more suggestions. For those who are totally clueless about where to start, here is the short list: - Music equipment - Travel expenses: such as transportation, fuel, lodging, etc. - Meals and entertainment shared with other industry professionals or while traveling - Office supplies - A percentage of your cell, internet, and computer (generally 80 percent or less is considered reasonable) - Legal and professional services - Research: going to shows, buying music, music-related publications - Education: such as coaching and lessons - Rent: practice space or equipment - Contract labor: such as hired musicians - Advertising: website, business cards, posters Another friend is a drummer who makes most of their income through teaching private students. What kinds of things can they write off? You can write off the same things as written above! I would also add to keep track of your mileage if you teach at a location outside your house. You can also write off a percentage of your rent and utilities as a home office expense if you work from home. How much does it cost to hire a tax preparer? At what point should a drummer consider hiring one? In a typical musician/artist scenario, would the amount they can save me be worth the additional expense? What kinds of things can they help with? At Math LLC, we charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $200–350 to prepare a tax return for someone who is self-employed. Prices may range depending on what city you live in, and if you go with a CPA, which tends to be more expensive than a licensed tax preparer. If you feel overwhelmed or like there are terms or concepts you do not understand while preparing your own taxes, it is probably better to get help. I have seen tax preparers save their clients hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars because they know the tricks of the trade. On the other hand, I have heard from some of my clients that their previous preparer disallowed them legitimate expenses, because they didn’t understand the music business. Most of the tax preparers I know really enjoy saving their clients money. Look for someone who is familiar with your field so that they are knowledgeable about the types of things you can write off. If you find yourself working with a tax preparer that seems like they do not understand you or your business, it would be better to go elsewhere. Are royalties taxed at the same rate as performance income? What about marketing placements in ads? If you are currently a working musician, then royalties and placements are all taxed at the self-employment tax rate. If you are no longer working as a musician and are still receiving royalties for prior work, those are taxed at the lower, ordinary income tax rate.

Brighten your home this winter with this cool and crafty snowman decoration. It’s a perfect gift! WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE A POMPOM SNOWMAN - 1 skein of yarn — makes about 10 to 15 pompoms, depending on the size - Craft, fabric or hot glue - Googly eyes (optional) - Pipe cleaners - Small buttons or beads - Felt or fabric WHAT YOU’LL DO TO MAKE A POMPOM SNOWMAN Step 1: Grab the end of the yarn and place it across your fingers in one hand. Step 2: Using your free hand, wrap the yarn around your fingers until most of your fingertips are covered, and then cut the yarn. Don’t wrap too tightly! Step 3: Gently slide the yarn off your fingers. Keeping it in its form, place the yarn on the table. Next, take the remaining yarn and cut off a 1-foot piece, and tie that piece tightly around the ball. Step 4: Using the scissors, cut open both sides of the pompom one at a time, and then fluff them out. Step 5: Trim the pompom into an even sphere shape. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to make another pompom — this one should be smaller. Repeat this step twice if you want to make a three-tiered snowman. Keep in mind that each pompom should be a different size. Step 6: Take the two loose ends of each pompom and tie them together. Make sure the knot is tight. You can also glue the pompoms together with hot glue. Step 7: Dress up your snowman by using the pipe cleaners, buttons, beads and ribbon to give it a face, arms and some winter gear!

Being nearly as massive as the entire of Europe, Australia has extra to supply than most likely another nation on the earth. With a whole lot of nationwide parks, 20 world heritage websites, and a few of the most lovely seashores on the earth, it’s simple on your Australia bucket checklist to turn into too lengthy. So how do you slender down the place it’s best to go when backpacking Australia? As somebody who spent over two years residing and touring down underneath, I’m sharing my choose of the ten greatest locations to go to in Australia. 10 Finest Locations To Go to in Australia Listed below are the ten hottest vacationer locations in Australia (which additionally occur to be my private favorites too!) All of them provide one thing distinctive so the locations you select will rely on what you search out of your Aussie journey, whether or not you’re planning on doing a working vacation, an epic east coast Australia street journey, taking a tour or backpacking Australia. Melbourne and the Nice Ocean Street Melbourne is the beginning or ending level for many individuals heading to Australia for an East Coast journey. Nonetheless, be sure you schedule no less than per week on this hip metropolis as a result of there’s a lot to do and see, together with the laneways, espresso outlets and artwork galleries. If you happen to’re like me, you gained’t wish to go away! The primary factor to do in Melbourne is the 664 km Nice Ocean Street journey, rated one of the scenic drives on the earth. There are numerous locations to go to alongside the best way, together with the well-known Twelve Apostles, many lovely seashores, and blissful nature reserves like Nice Otway Nationwide Park and Port Campbell nationwide park. One other journey it’s best to make from Melbourne is Phillip Island to see the well-known sundown penguin parade and Australian fur seals of their pure habitat. Sydney is essentially the most well-known metropolis in Australia, recognized for its iconic sights just like the Sydney Opera Home, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Bondi Seaside. Sydney is certainly one of many should see locations in Australia so it would be best to spend no less than just a few days exploring this bustling metropolis and the close by pure wonders. Make time to take the ferry to Manly and expertise the Coogee seashore coastal stroll to take in the views. My favourite vacation spot in New South Wales was the Blue Mountains, a brief prepare journey from Sydney. You can find infinite gorgeous surroundings right here, together with the Three Sisters rock formation, thought-provoking Aboriginal rock artwork, eucalyptus forests, pristine waterfalls, and cute villages. Byron Bay could also be a small city, nevertheless it is stuffed with character. This coastal city is famed for its hippy, non secular group really feel, attractive seashores, and browsing and scuba diving websites. In case you have time, you may also head 92 km north to the Gold Coast, residence to the well-known occasion city Surfers Paradise. If the vibe here’s a bit too loopy for you, I like to recommend heading inland to Lamington Nationwide Park, an untouched rainforest stuffed with serene strolling and mountaineering trails. Sunshine Coast and Fraser Island If you happen to’re touring the East Coast northbound, as you enter the state of Queensland, one of many first locations you’ll wish to cease and spend a while is the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast is gorgeous, sunny, and welcoming, with a various pure world to discover. One place you shouldn’t miss is Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island. Whenever you go to Fraser Island, you get to drive throughout the sand (as there are not any roads right here) and discover hidden lakes just like the “Instaworthy” Lake McKenzie. On the mainland, spend a day at Nice Sandy Nationwide Park, having fun with the sand dunes, mangroves, and rainforests. Additionally, you will spot tons of wildlife right here, together with koalas and wallabies. For whale watching, Hervey Bay is among the greatest locations on the earth to witness these magnificent creatures of their pure habitat. The Whitsunday Islands Persevering with north, you’ll quickly attain Airlie Seaside, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. These picture-perfect islands are sometimes on the prime of most individuals’s Australia bucket checklist, and for a superb purpose, they are surely paradise. The cluster of 74 Whitsunday Islands boasts white sandy seashores surrounded by the crystal-clear coral sea. Whitehaven Seaside is essentially the most well-known vacation spot right here, however the smaller islands like Hamilton Island have a less-crowded really feel. Cairns and the Nice Barrier Reef One other attraction on each traveler’s Australia bucket checklist is the UNESCO World Heritage web site Nice Barrier Reef. Because the world’s largest coral reef and among the best scuba diving spots, you can not go to Australia and not using a journey right here. Whenever you’re sick of snorkeling and diving, Cairns has loads of nightlife or head north and also you’ll discover the gorgeous small resort city of Port Douglas. Full of stylish eateries and luxurious resorts, that is the right place to chill out after a busy day of diving. Most vacationers don’t go additional than Cairns or Port Douglas, however for my part, this can be a large mistake. Simply barely north of Port Douglas is Cape Tribulation, residence to the 135 million years outdated Daintree rainforest, the oldest tropical rainforest on the earth! Darwin and the Northern Territory Whereas the northern territory is among the much less visited states, it’s nonetheless one I might extremely suggest, notably in case you love nature and wildlife and getting off the crushed observe. The northern state is stuffed with pure magnificence, together with Kakadu Nationwide Park, Australia’s largest nationwide park situated simply exterior the state’s main metropolis Darwin. The favored tenting spot Litchfield Nationwide Park can be a brief drive from Darwin and is stuffed with idyllic waterfalls and pristine swimming spots. The Outback and Uluru (Ayers Rock) Australia’s Outback is an unlimited and distant desert space. Due to its distance from all main Australian cities and cities, many vacationers give it a miss. Nonetheless, exploring the Outback was considered one of my favourite and most genuine reminiscences from my time down underneath. Uluru Kata Tjuta nationwide park, also referred to as Ayers Rock, is a well-known crimson sandstone formation situated just about in the course of the nation. It’s a protected and non secular place for the Aboriginals, however vacationers can nonetheless stroll round it and witness its breathtaking altering colours at dawn and sundown. You may get to Uluru by flying into Alice Springs, a small outback city that appears caught previously and is a complete expertise in itself. With most vacationers touring the east coast route, the nation’s west coast is way quieter and fewer developed. So if you wish to escape the crowds and get off the crushed path, I like to recommend flying into Perth and exploring Western Australia’s pure wonders like Cape Vary Nationwide Park and Karijini Nationwide Park. Like Western Australia, the Southern State provides a a lot much less touristy and extra rural expertise. Probably the most visited spots on this a part of the nation is the famend wine area, Barossa Valley, a must-visit for any wine lover. I additionally suggest a day journey to Kangaroo Island, a brief ferry journey from Adelaide, the state’s largest metropolis. Kangaroo Island is residence to Flinders Chase Nationwide Park, a big rural protected space on the island stuffed with unbelievable geological formations. Wildlife sightings, together with penguins, sea lions, and koalas, are frequent right here too. Ultimate Ideas on the Finest Locations to Go to in Australia With so many should see locations in Australia and such large distances I like to recommend spending no less than just a few weeks on this epic a part of the world. One of the best locations to journey in Australia will rely on what you’re searching for. For picturesque seashores, go to the Whitsundays; for unforgettable diving, discover the Nice Barrier Reef; or for a novel wildness expertise, head to the Outback. No matter you’re into one of the widespread routes for these touring in Australia is a street journey up the East Coast from Melbourne to Cairns which takes in most of Australia’s prime sights in a single epic journey. I hope this publish conjures up you to go to Australia. For extra journey inspiration take a look at:

Asphalt Paving is a popular choice for roadways and driveways. It is strong, durable, withstands freezing and thawing, and can be easily repaired. A good asphalt contractor will have a portfolio of past jobs. Look for smooth transitions and consistent sizing. They should also follow drainage protocols, avoiding lingering pools of water that can damage the surface. In a world that appears to be headed for nothing but throw-away everything, asphalt pavements designed and built to last indefinitely are an incredible achievement. They provide a smooth surface that improves vehicle ride quality, fuel consumption, and safety while significantly reducing maintenance costs and life-cycle costs. These enduring structures are a result of a simple process that involves applying three layers of the highest quality durable asphalt. The top layer acts as a protective shield against the harsh stresses and strains of daily traffic, while the middle layer and bottom layer add structural integrity. This allows the structures to withstand years of abuse without cracking and rutting. This concept, known as Perpetual Pavement or Long-Life HMA pavements was formally recognized in 2000 by the Asphalt Pavement Alliance and includes the use of Mechanistic-Empirical design principles from surface to subgrade. The three asphalt pavement layers include a standard high-quality surface course, an intermediate layer, and a thicker fatigue resistant course. The top-down cracking and rutting that typically plagues traditional HMA pavements is confined to the surface layer, where it can be corrected by thorough periodic maintenance. The intermediate and bottom layers are formulated to prevent bottom-up fatigue cracking and subgrade rutting by limiting the horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the asphalt mix layer and vertical compressive strain on the top of the subgrade. These stress/strain thresholds must be kept below specific values, ensuring that deep structural distresses are not introduced. Additional asphalt thickness beyond what is required to keep these thresholds below critical levels is unnecessary. The perpetual structure is a relatively inexpensive solution to the problem of long-term pavement performance, with maintenance costs limited to periodic milling and overlay of the surface layer. These procedures are easily completed overnight, with no impact on traffic flow. Since the underlying structural sections of the pavement are not affected, these maintenance operations can be performed at any time during the pavement’s service life, without compromising the longevity and serviceability of the structure. This approach translates to significant savings in agency and user time, money, materials, and energy. Asphalt pavements need maintenance to help them withstand the elements and protect their structural integrity. It is important to inspect your asphalt for damages such as cracking, fading, depressions, and raveling. These damages should be repaired quickly to prevent them from getting worse. In general, you should perform asphalt repairs at least once a year or more often if your asphalt gets heavy usage. The best time to repair asphalt is when it first begins showing signs of deterioration. This will minimize the damage and the costs of repairs. It is important to use the proper asphalt for your needs. There are a variety of different asphalt types available to suit a wide range of applications and environments. Some of these include: If you are unsure which type of asphalt to use, consider talking to a local asphalt professional. They will be able to recommend the right asphalt for your specific needs. The right asphalt mix will provide the durability and flexibility you need. It will also meet the specifications of your project. You may also want to look into using warm mix asphalt. This is a specialized form of asphalt that offers similar performance to traditional hot mix asphalt, but it reduces emissions and energy consumption during manufacturing. Regardless of which type of asphalt you choose, the best way to keep it in top condition is through regular maintenance. Inspect the asphalt for small cracks, oil spots, and other damages. These should be repaired promptly before they develop into their less desirable counterparts, potholes. Other common problems that should be repaired immediately include depressions, rutting, edge cracking, and raveling. If you notice any of these issues, call a local asphalt contractor to have them fixed immediately. When repairing asphalt, it is critical to make sure that the new surface is cool and allowed to set before being opened to traffic. This process is called curing and can take up to a year. The longer it takes for the asphalt to cure, the weaker it will be. In addition to the above, there are a number of other asphalt maintenance services that should be performed regularly. These services include: When it comes time to have your asphalt driveway, parking lot or road resurfaced or repaved, you want to work with a contractor who is honest and reliable. That’s why it is important to get a free estimate before choosing a contractor. Many contractors offer estimates over the phone, but a great contractor will come to your site to better understand what is needed. This is a good indicator that they have a strong sense of responsibility to their customers. The estimate should include critical details such as the size of the project. This can be stated in a variety of ways, such as square footage, cubic yards or tons. A quality contractor will also state what type of asphalt mix will be used. This is important because the different types of asphalt have varying properties that can impact durability and life span. Labor is another item that should be clearly described. Some companies use low-wage employees to reduce costs, while others are dedicated to hiring and retaining skilled workers that deserve fair compensation. It is important to compare the total labor hours in the estimates to make sure that you are not paying more than you should. Other charges to consider are the cost of permits, soil removal or excavation and hot asphalt transportation fees. These can add up quickly, so you should ask for a breakdown of the expenses and how they will be calculated in your estimate. Drainage is also an important factor to consider when obtaining your estimate. A well-draining pavement will last longer and will be less prone to premature damage from standing water. A reputable contractor will be able to identify drainage issues and suggest appropriate solutions. It is also a good idea to request references from past clients and to drive by sites that have been recently repaved. This will give you a better feel for the workmanship and attention to detail that can be expected. It is also a good idea to speak with the paving contractor directly before making a decision, and to discuss how long the work will take and any potential inconveniences. Whether it’s a small residential project or a large commercial paving job, customers want to work with a contractor who has the experience, skills, and reputation to get the job done right. Choosing a contractor with a good track record in the industry and a positive customer service reputation can help you feel confident that your asphalt paving project will be completed in an efficient manner. Using social media to market your asphalt paving company is a great way to get your name out in the community and attract new clients. It is important to create a social media presence that is consistent with your brand and utilizes best practices. By implementing these marketing strategies, you can ensure that your target audience is seeing your content and responding positively to it. When hiring a general asphalt paving contractor, you should always check to see that they are licensed and insured. If they are not, you should consider finding another contractor. Insurance is crucial in the paving industry, and you should ensure that the contractor has umbrella licensing policy, general liability, and workers’ compensation insurance, as well as insurance on all of their vehicles and paving equipment. One of the best ways to show potential clients your paving company is to display online reviews and testimonials. Many people rely on online review platforms to find services and companies, and a paving company without an online footprint is essentially invisible to prospective clients. Online reputation management tools like Reputation Defender can help you collect and manage happy customer reviews, ensuring that one negative online review won’t deter clients from hiring your asphalt paving company. Other methods of attracting customers to your asphalt paving business include paid advertising and local networking. Pay-per-click advertising allows you to target specific keywords and demographics to optimize your ad campaign, making it more likely that your ads are seen by the individuals who need your services. This method is especially useful for paving contractors, as it can help them reach the people who are most likely to hire them.

The Chelsea Flower Show, held May 19 – 23 was a visual delight. Color always leads the way at this Royal Horticulture Society event, and this year was no exception. Nonetheless, along the Main Avenue show gardens, there was an overwhelming sense of green. Towering trees, quiet under plantings and foliage of many kinds seemed to envelop visitors in a variety of green hues. Blankets of green became foundations for many sculptures (favorite: David Harbor’s stunning twisted-metal spire) and colorful plantings. Purple got a big boost for 2019. It showed up in luscious scented blooms like French lavender in Chris Beardshaw’s Gold-award garden. Purple was featured in assorted giant allium, framed by succulents and traditional lamb’s ears, in Thomas Hoblyn’s draught-tolerant Dubai Garden. Purple iris, allium and salvias made a statement in the Don Sanctuary garden, designed by Christina Williams and Annie Prebensen, celebrating 50 years of caring for donkeys. It was also tucked into the underplanting of the Duchess of Cambridge children’s garden, in which exploration and hide-and-seek play completed a day out with nature. Even the café next to The Stables joined in with purple outdoor seating. Blue blossoms that hug their purple side also inched up. Pinks remained as popular as ever. It popped up in an innovative way as ceramic anthurium that were used to bring color to otherwise-green houseplants. Pinks also looked quite fresh in the Gabriel Oak Rose, shown at the David Austin Roses stand, as well as the Estacia Rose, both new for 2019. It is noteworthy that in spite of the passing of David Austin Senior in December of 2018, his genius continues with new roses that can take nine years to develop before coming to market. The world will be seeing his work for many years to come. On the whole, oranges retreated. Reds, which declined, still stood out, especially when featured as garden accents. Case in point: Trailfinders Chile Garden, designed by Jonathan Snow. This garden was punctuated by a long walking bridge, painted allover in lipstick red. White did not have as large a following as it has in the past. This was true in spite of white flashes that were particularly effective as a foil to golden and russet hues in Chris Beardshaw’s garden. It was black that stole the show when it came to neutrals. Charred-black wood “outcroppings” made a dramatic addition to the Best In Show garden designed by Andy Sturgeon. Thick wooden beams, stained black, contributed to the rustic charm of Mark Gregory’s Welcome to Yorkshire garden, winner of the People’s Choice Award. Black granite steps and floor made Talna Suonio’s Finnish garden feel cool and contemporary. Look below for more pictures of colorful blooms from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show:

Life got crazy a few weeks ago when our Christmas color and trend forecast, called ‘Tis The Season™ 2008 – 2009, was in the process of being created. This is an annual forecast we do under The Trend Curve Colors™ banner. My assistant, Laura, and I selected the colors and sent them to be matched and coated, a process that usually takes six weeks. Then we turned to the trends. We had determined what they would be early on; we needed that information to inform our color selection. What we still had to do was detail the looks, forms, materials, embellishments, motifs and so on for each of the nine selected trends, plus lay out which colors play a volume, accent and fashion role. All this comes in bullet-point form on a Trend Card, accompanied by a photo, which also needed to be chosen. We were juggling this project with writing the June issue of The Trend Curve, attending trade shows (KBIS, Hospitality Design and Showtime) and launching the research for The Trend Curve Colors™ 2009 (anticipated release date: 9/30/07 – subscribers to The Trend Curve can pre-order by contacting Janice), but had no worries about that because we didn’t expect to have color delivered for more than a month. So imagine my surprise when our supplier showed me matched colors for approval in one week and delivered final coated colors in our hands in just two weeks more. I was delighted—and suddenly WAY behind. But we were able to ship ‘Tis The Season is just three days, thanks to some real dedication and hard work. Laura was relentless in her pursuit of just the right image for each trend. Thanks to Steve Scott, one of our graphic designers, for pulling two all-nighters that meant files for all nine Trend Cards were designed and print-ready fast. Our printers in Texas and Minnesota shoved every other job aside to get those Trend Cards on-press, packed up and delivered, all within three days. Then Janice and Cathy made sure that everyone who pre-ordered ‘Tis The Season had it in their hands before three more days had passed. We are all quite proud of ‘Tis The Season 2008 – 2009. Feedback has already started to come in from subscribers to The Trend Curve and so far, it’s all good (subscribers can pre-order product before a new product’s ship date, and anyone who did so received their Christmas colors/trends before the item was made available to the general public; it’s another benefit to being a subscriber!). For those of you who are wondering about price, this product costs subscribers to The Trend Curve $325 plus shipping, and non-subscribers pay $425 plus shipping (discounts on all our products come as another subscriber benefit). You can order by visiting our web site, clicking on the Trend Store link, then clicking on ‘Tis The Season Color 2008 – 2009 in the right column. But we don’t have too much time to bask in the glow of creating another best-selling color and trend forecast. We have moved on to the next trend projects and products to help you with your business! During the summer you can watch for: – Tapping Into Trend: Looks to Profit From in 2008 – 2009™ (on CD-ROM) – Trend Album™: Tendence (also on CD-ROM, trends from the Tendence Trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany)

My friend and fellow cook Laurie Burrows Grad loves all things Italian. This is her version of agrodolce, a sweet and sour Italian sauce, prevalent in southern Italy. The sauce is always made with vinegar, wine and sugar to achieve the classic sweet and sour flavor. Chicken thighs work well here for braising. Their dark meat stays moist and flavorful. This is a wonderful dish for small dinner parties since it can be made ahead. In fact, it is best to make a day ahead so the chilled fat can be removed easily. I have prepared this a day ahead of serving, and also decided to freeze it for future dinners. This dish is easy to put together by first cooking the chicken thighs and then preparing the sauce separately. I like to brown the chicken either on the grill or under the broiler, which is faster and uses less oil, and a small amount of flour helps to slightly thicken the sauce. Finally, the pre-cooked chicken is bathed in the sweet and sour sauce. Raisins, pine nuts and capers bring all the flavors together. This sauce also goes well with vegetables and pork. Enjoy this with steamed rice, couscous or lightly buttered penne pasta. Serve an Italian crisp white wine to pair with the chicken. 1/4 cup pine nuts 12 boneless chicken thighs Salt and freshly ground white pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 large ribs of celery, finely chopped 2 large carrots, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3/4 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup good quality white wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest 2 cups chicken broth 1 bay leaf 1/2 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed Fresh thyme or mint leaves, for garnish 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the nuts on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Reserve. 2. Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor broiler to high. Lightly coat a roasting or sheet pan with olive oil nonstick cooking spray. 3. Place the chicken thighs in the pan, season with the salt and pepper, lightly coat with the olive oil spray, and grill or broil for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove excess fat from pan, turn chicken, season with salt and pepper, lightly coat the chicken with spray, and continue to grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until golden on all sides. 4. Remove the chicken from the pan to a platter and set aside and keep warm. (If you have a fat separator, you can put any extra juices in the pitcher and pour off all the good juices while discarding excess fat). 5. In a large non-stick Dutch oven or deep saucepan, heat the olive oil and saute the onions, celery, carrots and garlic over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until just softened, stirring often. Add the flour and stir over medium heat until smooth, about 1 minute. 6. Increase the heat to high and add the wine, vinegar, sugar and lemon zest and allow to boil for a minute or two until very thick. Add the broth and bay leaf and then the reserved chicken pieces. 7. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer slowly for about 30 minutes, partially covered. Turn the chicken after 15 minutes to evenly cook the chicken, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaf. 8. Add the raisins and capers and stir to combine. Increase heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add the reserved pine nuts. 9. Serve the chicken hot over couscous, spaetzle or rice, garnished with herbs. Advance preparation: This dish is best prepared a day in advance and chilled. The next day, the fat can easily be removed. Reheat gently. (Diane Rossen Worthington is an authority on new American cooking.

SHOW GOD TO THE WORLD Are you a disciple of Christ? Jesus calls us to be His disciples. A disciple is a student, but not as in continually learning. A disciple is someone that imitates their teacher. Another way to think of the word disciple is as someone that uses and applies what they’ve learned. “19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” These verses are part of that great commission that Jesus gave to his disciples. In this great commission, Jesus was sending His disciples to go and teach all nations or, in other words, to apply what He taught them. Jesus’s disciples were His students or pupils, and in essence, He was making them apostles. We recognize the Apostle Paul, and we know that Peter, also a disciple of Jesus, became an apostle. But did you ever wonder what the difference is between a disciple and an apostle? A disciple is a learner, but an apostle is sent to teach or show what they learned. Jesus chose his twelve disciples for special training, and when they were trained enough, Jesus sent them out to show the Gospel to others. God is calling us to do the same, go forth and show the world this Great Gospel. How many hours a day do you spend in school? Our students spend six to eight hours a day in school in America. Do you behave the same way at school as at home or church? Are you as careful about how you talk at school as at home and church? Do you make fun of people more at school than at home or church? God is calling us to show the Gospel to the world, which means we should behave the same where ever we are. God wants us to show his Gospel to the world by how we live our lives. How many people at your school or that live in your village know you are Christian? Do people around you know you go to church? Do they know you pray and give thanks to God before you eat your food? Do they know you will not cheat on your test or schoolwork? Do they know you will not lie to cover yourself or your friend’s bad behavior? God calls all Christians to show this Gospel or his light to others, but sometimes young people tend to be a little bit more nervous about doing this. “16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” The apostle was challenging the Romans by saying, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, and you should not be either.” Do you feel ashamed of being a Christian when you are at school? If yes, I want to encourage you that there is no reason to be ashamed. If you’ve asked God into your heart, shining brightly for Christ is your right! Sometimes young people do not want to feel different from others or do not really know how to show people they are Christian. Translated, the word Gospel means “good news.” So, the Apostle Paul was sharing his good news with the Romans, and he was encouraging the Romans to do the same. Sharing the good news of Jesus is one way to show the Gospel. Usually, when someone gets “good news,” the first thing they want to do is share it with someone else. When your grades are good, you share them. Maybe you do well in a track race, and you share the good news of winning. Paul encouraged the Christians to share the Gospel in the same way they share the good news about other things in their lives. What comes to your mind when you think about sharing Jesus with others? By the way, sharing Jesus is not putting a Bible under your arm and telling everyone you go to church. Anyone can grab a Bible and say I am going to church, but their lives may show they are probably not true Christians. We need to show others we are Christian by the way we live. Talking about the Gospel is not the only way to share Jesus. Sharing Jesus can be as simple as allowing others to see something different about the way we behave. When I was in school, I remember being tempted to do things that were not right, but I chose to serve God. So I was different than the others around me who were making choices to do wrong. I went to grade school and then secondary school with some of the same people. My classmates knew my testimony well. They knew I was Christian. We would often stand together in a group and visit like many young people do. Then someone in the group would want to share a joke, and my classmates would stop them and ask if the joke was clean. The other students would tell them that I didn’t listen to dirty jokes. Because I gave my life to God, I could show my friends how to live for Christ. Can your friends see you are different? Some kids in school make bad choices or are continually disruptive in class. But when God changes your heart, and you grow spiritually, you can show Christ in His pure form. Your friends will see a difference. They will know you won’t do ungodly things like drugs or drink alcohol. They know you won’t sin. Your friends will know you are Christian because you live the example every day. Your teachers at school will know too. Teachers will know because you finish your homework on time, you respect your teacher, and because you won’t cheat. When I was in school, sometimes we would have a substitute teacher, and often, students would cause problems for the substitute teacher. God showed me that I shouldn’t be a part of the problem for the teachers in class. What if you don’t turn your homework in on time and choose not to do well in class, or you cause problems with other students and the teacher? Then you try to invite your teacher to church? What do you think your teacher will think? Do you think your teacher would want to go to church with you? The life we show to others is important. If you show people that God is living in you by your actions, people will recognize something different. Then they’ll ask about it, and when they ask, this allows you to share what Jesus did for you. Sometimes young people are at a loss to explain how someone can acquire Salvation. The good news of Jesus has the power to save those that want to believe, which means that another person’s Salvation does not depend on how perfectly you might or might not explain the Gospel. Instead, how we live or show Jesus to others is most important. If you and I do not show God to the world, who will? Thousands of people die every day without God. They are dying without knowing the happiness we have, without the experience of waking up with peace, or without enjoying this good life that God gives. Do you see them around you? There are souls out there that need God. All around us, people are searching for, seeking for, reaching for, and trying to find true happiness, and we have it! We have what they need. If we don’t help those using drugs by showing and sharing they can have a better life or telling those hungover, they can find true peace and joy, then who will share the good news with them. God is calling you young people. You that choose to serve God are called to go out and show the world there is a better way to live. Unless someone talked to us first, we wouldn’t know about God either. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” We need to be ready to give an answer when people ask us about Salvation. As a young person, you might ask, “what answer do I give?”. Someone may ask, “why are you happy all the time?” You can respond about how unhappy you were before Jesus came into your life. Someone might ask about your honesty or why you never lie. You can let them know that you were not always honest, but God changed your heart, and now you have the power, to be honest. When you show God to the world or your friends, they’ll ask questions about your honorable behavior. You can let them know that God in your life is what makes the difference. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” God is calling all who love him to let their lights shine.

Midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai’s late super volley helped his Hanoi FC make a spectacular comeback, defeating Viettel FC 2-1 and defending their National Cup title on Sunday evening. The 2020 National Cup final between Hanoi FC and Viettel FC was held at Hang Day Stadium in Dong Da District, Hanoi. The game only heated up after the 75th minute, when Tran Ngoc Son opened the scoring for Viettel FC. Before the goal, Hanoi FC players pulled themselves together to create more pressure. Their effort was rewarded when Truong Van Thai Quy leveled the score for Hanoi FC in the 81st minute of the game. Seven minutes later, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai struck a superb volley, clinching an impressive victory for the Capital Team. The 2-1 comeback helped the 2019 National Cup winners successfully defend their title this year and become the first football club to win in back-to-back years. Speaking to the press after the victory, Hanoi FC coach Chu Dinh Nghiem praised Quang Hai for his stellar performance during the match. Nghiem also attributed the result to all the members of his team. “I would like to thank the players. They worked hard to reach where they are today,” said Nghiem, adding that their next target is the top-flight professional football tournament V-League 1 title.

Virginity is seen as shameful, immature, and something a character needs to get over as soon as possible. Due to a Double Standard that emphasizes male promiscuity and female chastity, this trope more commonly applies to males than females. Virginity is seen as something silly that men need to get past as soon as possible, while it is often shown as desirable in women. This trope is not gender-restricted, however. Female characters are shamed in this way occasionally, especially in high school settings. Related to Nature Abhors a Virgin, in which a character disclosing their virginity insures events will conspire to cure them of their shameful condition. The opposite is Nature Adores a Virgin, where virginity is seen as special and highly admirable. Contrast Slut-Shaming, where characters (usually female) are derided for promiscuity rather than virginity (although they can overlap despite all logic). See also Unexpected Virgin if a character's virginity elicits surprise. For the "logical" extreme of this trope, see Eunuchs Are Evil. Closely related to Sex as Rite-of-Passage. - Magna from Black Clover is occasionally subjected to this by Vanessa, who calls him a "virgin delinquent". Judging by his embarrassed denial whenever she does, she's probably right. - Four Knights of the Apocalypse downplays the trope. One of the ways Guinevere teases the sixteen-year-old Lancelot is by saying that she knows the kiss they had a few pages ago was his first. Lancelot unsuccessfully denies this, which makes him even more embarrassed. (Not that Guinevere has any room to judge someone's maturity.) It's also that he doesn't want her to have the satisfaction of knowing she stole his Sacred First Kiss. - Fruits Basket: Tohru's class puts on a performance of Cinderella. Kyo plays the prince and is extremely mopey and uninterested in the ball being held. During the performance, Arisa (who is playing his "best friend") tells him to cheer up and that "it's no wonder you're still a virgin". Kyo freaks out at this and yells at her not to say stuff like that. - In Great Pretender, one of Abbie's favorite insults for Makoto is to call him a virgin. He swears up and down that he isn't, but she doesn't believe him. - Gunsmith Cats: In both the Manga and Anime OVA, May Hopkins always teases and shames Rally Vincent about being a virgin, because of how obsessed she is with guns instead of traditional female interests and how she doesn't seem to notice when men are attracted to her. Hopkins, on the other hand, has lots of sex and is proud of it. - Hot Gimmick: Ryoki, who is extremely ashamed that he still is. - Imaizumin-chi wa Douyara Gal no Tamariba ni Natteru Rashii: ~DEEP~: Other boys don't take Imaizumi seriously because he'll be a forever virgin. Unbeknownst to them, he's not a virgin, but can't say it. - This is a trope that comes up a lot in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, but interestingly, this trope is mostly subverted. The only person who shames Shirogane for being a virgin is Shirogane himself. Most of the characters he interacts with have never had sex either, and those that have don't have any reason to care about Shirogane and Kaguya's sex life. Heck, Kaguya's friends are actually more worried about their relationship moving too quickly since Kaguya used tongue during their first kiss. - In Mad Bull 34, weak-willed rookie cop Eddie Daizaburo is pretty embarrassed about the fact that he's a virgin — especially considering the fact that his partner, "Sleepy" John Estes, is a Dirty Cop running a prostitution racket and a well-known lothario. Sleepy tries to get a bunch of his girls to show Eddie a good time, but he refuses because it's just not what he's looking for. Thereafter, Sleepy occasionally broaches the subject to annoy Eddie. - Discussed in TSF Monogatari, where Takumi comments that, since he's been turned into a girl, her virginity is now an asset as opposed to a stigma ...which she loses not ten minutes later. - In Magi: Labyrinth of Magic, Koumei starts teasing Alibaba about this before realizing he's right, Alibaba has never touched a woman, let alone had a girlfriend. Kouen finds this hilarious. - Please Tell Me! Galko-chan: Like most boys his age, Otako's brother hates the fact that he's a virgin and hates that other people make fun of him for it. However, he still wants to take things slow when he gets into a relationship. - Tokyo Ghoul: Kaneki and Hide are introduced having a conversation in which it is made blatantly obvious neither one of them has ever been on so much as a date with a girl, with Kaneki's first date being the event that kicks off the entire plot. Similarly, Amon is a Chaste Hero that rejects the advances of his female partner, but is portrayed as a paragon of masculinity. Besides settled-down family men, the only male character in the series confirmed to be sexually active is Nishiki, who is actually mocked over his sex life and is in general a Butt-Monkey. - Mamori in Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid often gets mocked for her name being spelled with the same kanji as "virgin". - Subverted in the original X-Force, with eventual lovers Rictor and Shatterstar. After being groped in a club, Shatterstar flees in terror and later admits that he has no experience whatsoever. Attempting to comfort him, Rictor states that it's nothing to be ashamed of and admits that he's still a virgin — his Ladies' Man attitude is all an act. - Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: The homophobe does this to Italy in addition to mocking his mannerisms. "Twisted homos making me want to puke. Kill yourself, disgusting virgin fag." - The Child of Love: When Asuka tries to seduce Shinji. Asuka: Don't tell me you're not a man. Or is it that you don't [want] to be a man? - CRME: A subversion occurs. Emerald mocks Mercury for being a virgin, but she states that there isn't anything wrong with virginity. She just knows that those insults would annoy him since he has such a big ego and "ladies-man" demeanor. It's also to get back at him for annoying her over the past few weeks that he's been on the team. Even after they hook up, she taunts him for his lack of experience since she can tell he has never had sex before then. - CRISIS: Equestria- Divergence: Averted; Rainbow Dash refuses to do this to Havoc when she finds out that it’s Havoc’s sore spot, citing the fact that it’s something she can change about herself if she wants, and that making fun of her for it seems stupid. - A Different Lesson: Subverted with Tai Lung. He is indeed initially mocked (by Mantis and Monkey) for being a virgin, but this does not lessen his badass nature one bit. Eventually he does lose his virginity ...but this has no bearing on his fighting ability since he in fact loses a major battle right after doing so. When he does finally defeat the Big Bad later, it's as part of a team, and again his virginity or lack thereof isn't brought up nor does it have anything to do with his victory. So even when he ultimately does have sex, the attitude behind this trope still gets subverted. - Evangelion 303: In episode 3 Asuka questions Shinji about his sex life and mocks him for being a virgin. It turns out she was projecting: later Shinji finds out that she is also a virgin and she feels ashamed about it. - Myrmidons: Sheri Walford's old service buddy Lisa Makbar jokingly calls her "bitch" for saving herself for the right guy; Sheri calls Lisa "slut" for, well, not. Amanda Nung similarly tries a few times to get Sheri laid. She finally sleeps with Warrant Officer Abaddon on her nineteenth birthday in part three. - A Song of Ice, Fire and Heart: - Roxas tends to be mildly teased by his male friends for his utter lack of sexual or romantic knowledge in spite of the many, many girls throwing themselves at him, gaining the nickname of "maiden boy". It becomes a hint creepy when one remembers he's mentally two years old and physically fifteen, but is currently adventuring in the medieval Westeros in which nobody bats an eyelash over twelve-years-old having sex. - His assumed father Ventus also was gently mocked by his friends for his shyness towards girls, to the point that Robert is incredulous when introduced to Roxas because he cannot imagine Ven managing to lose his virginity. - In The 40-Year-Old Virgin, after Andy inadvertently outs himself as a virgin, his "friends" and coworkers go out of their way to remind him how they think it's so weird for him never to have had sex at his age. - Luke in 2:37 teases his friend for being a virgin. It's clearly a sore spot for his friend. - All the guys are desperate to lose their virginity in American Pie, but Jim is the only one who explicitly meets the "pathetic and maladjusted" definition of the trope. Eventually, they decide to forget about the pledge to lose their virginity, deciding to avert this trope and be comfortable with themselves and have sex when they're ready. Then they all get laid anyway, making it something of a Broken Aesop. - Parodied along with many other tropes of teen comedies in Another Gay Movie. - Boy Eats Girl: After Jessica kills over a dozen zombies in a Construction Vehicle Rampage, Cheryl snarkily says "Not bad for a virgin", which is still one of the nicest things she says to Jessica (their other conservations have Be a Whore to Get Your Man taunts) throughout the movie. - Brian fears this treatment in The Breakfast Club after Bender jokingly calls him a cherry. This leads to a massive misunderstanding with Claire, forcing Brian to confirm that he is, in fact, a virgin. It's subverted when Claire says "it's okay for a guy to be a virgin", but it's brought up again later when the whole group hounds her until she admits that she is also one, hinting that even she thinks there's a double-standard at work. - Discussed in Chronicle. Steve hears that Matt has gone a long time without sex and Andrew is a virgin. His response? "Then how are you guys so cool?" - This classic example in Clueless: Cher: I just don't think you [and the guy you like] ... mesh well. Tai: [incredulous] You... don't think we mesh well? So like, what am I even doing listening to you anyway? You're a virgin who can't drive. - Though that was rather harsh, in context it's somewhat justified insofar as Cher is not only a virgin but also hasn't really dated to speak of, and the dates she has had have been disasters, so maybe she shouldn't be acting like she's a relationship expert, and "Cher shouldn't be acting like she's a relationship expert when she's not" is a very major point of the overall plot. Overall Cher's virginity isn't treated particularly positively or negatively, it's more her attitude that needs an adjustment. - In The Graduate, it could be interpreted that Ben, the protagonist, is a virgin before he sleeps with Mrs. Robinson. At the very least, he sleeps with Mrs Robinson because she challenges him on his inexperience. He acts so horribly awkward she outright asks him, and he unsuccessfully tries to deny it, so she basically dares him to prove himself. "Just because you happen to be inadequate in one way..." To his... credit?... Dustin Hoffman, 30 years old at the time, does a great job of playing a nervous, shy virgin. - Grease: Rare female example. Sandy gets this a lot over the story, especially from Rizzo. There's even a whole song dedicated to it, called "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." This eventually leads to her deciding to Be a Whore to Get Your Man. - In Heavy Traffic Rosalyn laughs at Michael because he's rumored to be a virgin. - Hocus Pocus: - A candle with a black flame is prophesied to resurrect a trio of witches if a virgin were to light it. Initially one would suspect that the little girl in the witch's costume would light it. But no, it was the main, male character Max who lit the candle. The cursed-as-an-immortal-cat Binx spelled this fact out in case the viewers forgot the virgin clause, as did the little girl. - Lampshaded in the conversation with the cop on the motorcycle. "I'll get it tattooed on my forehead, all right!?" - All of this joking and other general obsession about Max's lack of a sex life is made just a mite squicky, since he's only fifteen, at the very oldest! The Nostalgia Chick: After all, what are you doing if you're still in high school and still a virgin? - Valentin Bulgakov from The Last Station gets teased for being a virgin, even though the ideology he has dedicated his life to commands a celibate lifestyle. - In Mean Girls, the burn book described a classmate "Dawn Schweitzer" as a "fat virgin." - This trope gets roundly mocked in Not Another Teen Movie with Mitch, Ox, and Bruce, who go on a similar quest to lose their virginities (duly ignoring the Sex Club at school), with Ox finding love with Catherine Wyler, and Mitch confessing his love to Amanda Becker through a note, who responds with... Amanda: I don't screw every pathetic guy that gives me a letter! I give them handjobs. - Once Bitten: Not only is Mark a virgin, but so are his two best friends, not for lack of trying. The books makes fun of Mark, saying that if he's an 18-year-old virgin, a vampire trying to get him should be the least of his worries. - On Chesil Beach: When Florence runs out of the hotel room during a moment of Interrupted Intimacy on their wedding night, Edward takes this personally and interprets it as Florence's rejection of him as a man. He proceeds to lay into her with harsh words about her not knowing how to be with someone, which in a way make him a hypocrite because he too is a virgin. - In Porky's, the main character's mission is to have sex — even by hiring a prostitute. The film derives its humor by frustrating every attempt until the end. - In 10 to Midnight, Detective Paul Kessler asks Serial Killer Warren Stacy as to when was the last time he had sex with a woman and then says "never" because girls and women don't want anything to with him. - At the end of Weekend at Bernie's II, Richard's life is saved from poisoning by a potion made with the blood of a virgin. That virgin just happened to be Larry. He teases Larry about it at the very end. Richard: Oh, and thanks for keeping yourself a virgin for me.Larry: Great. That's great. Just twist the knife a little deeper, why don't you. - Young Hearts: A couple of the boys mock other students they think are virgins while in class. - Baccano!: Claire, despite being a virgin himself, does put some stock in this trope. Upon discovering that Firo's been living with a woman for over a year and hasn't gotten even as far as first base, he starts doubting that Firo's even human. The 2002 books show that Firo manages to remain a virgin into his nineties, much to the amusement of the rest of the Martillo family. - In Richard Wright's famous autobiography Black Boy, he recalls a co-worker who had a bad case of gonorrhea, and actually acts proud of it because it's proof he's had sex, and is therefore a real man. Richard doubts he's as proud of it as he acts, however, when he sees him urinate one day, with his teeth clenched, tears streaming out of his eyes and with a hand on the beam above him to keep from falling over in agony. - In the web-novel Domina, Derek and Adam are specifically noted to be virgins (well, we only find out about this after Adam sleeps with Lily). Derek doesn't seem to find it important, but Adam is embarrassed. - A variation in Down Among the Dead Men by William Tenn. Humanity is outnumbered in a Bug War, so all female soldiers have been removed from administrative duties so they can breed more soldiers, and 'zombie' soldiers are created from recycled human protoplasm. However these soldiers think they're not real men because they can't have children. Their commanding officer breaks the ice with them by revealing that he's sterile from the radiation of a nuclear explosion. - Downplayed in The Dresden Files: White Night. The young and talented Carlos Ramirez, who behaves like a self-styled Casanova, is identified as a virgin by sex vampire Lara Raith. Harry spends the entire climactic fight scene teasing him about it. - Full Metal Panic!: Sousuke. Despite being through many horrible wars, being a military man, and being at the age where he should be going through puberty, Sousuke has as much understanding about sex as a 5-year-old. It's pretty safe to assume he's a virgin when he thinks that condoms are for storing water, "kissing" is a synonym for CPR, and "flirting" is trapping girls in cages and holding them captive at gunpoint. Seriously, you don't get chaster than him. As a matter of fact, Kurz even mocks him for it, insulting him by calling him a "gutless virgin." Being raised in the Afghan mujahideen may have had something to do with it. - Played with in Jumper. At the start of their relationship, Davy is a virgin but Millie isn't, and he invokes this on himself after he has a premature ejaculation their first time together. She tells him not to worry about it, and he's soon able to impress her (turned out all that reading in the library to hide from his abusive father was good for something). - Lord Straff Venture in Mistborn: The Original Trilogy definitely subscribed to this view, and forced his son and heir, Elend Venture, to sleep with a whore when Elend was 13. This is one of the first signs of how completely screwed-up Straff is. He had his reasons though, the more progeny, the bigger chance for a magic-empowered Allomancer among them. - Inverted in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai. After Tomoe refuses to go out with a bit character, he starts spreading rumors of her promiscuity in revenge, particularly about her and main character Sakuta. Sakuta shuts him down permanently with a very loud and public announcement that not only are he and Tomoe not sleeping together, he's a virgin. - Implied in Aleksis Kivi's Seven Brothers in one line, where the drunken Lauri tells Simeoni that he would weep if he saw something that girls don't show to the likes of him. - In a The Ship Who... Sang, whenever Niall is annoyed with Helva he calls her a "tin-plated virgin". When she was a few months old, her stunted, paralyzed human body was sealed into a life-support shell that can't be breached without killing her, so of course she's a virgin. When Helva elects not to have her mind transferred into a healthy adult human body - she's a Wetware CPU and sees her ship as her real body, and doesn't miss what she's never had - he refers to said ship as a "titanium chastity belt". Niall is in love with her and his abrasive personality and awareness that they Can't Have Sex, Ever means needling her over a source of his frustration. - Small World (Tabitha King novel): Dolly secretly mocks Roger for being a virgin while taking perverse pleasure in relieving him of the problem. - The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: It's stated that, in stark contrast to female virgins, no one wants male virgins at all (young boys excluded). Some experience is preferred. - Trapped on Draconica: Justified here. According to Leondian law, no one can take part in combat unless they have at least one child. Being a virgin means being a non-combatant which means being deadweight. In short, being a virgin is a festering spearhead in Kalak's self-confidence. He gets over it shortly after meeting Daniar. - Deconstructed in Youth in Sexual Ecstasy: The protagonist, at first, justifies this trope and his lifestyle by saying that men should acquire experience and dexterity in order to satisfy their future partners and that only a fool would want to arrive as a virgin to marriage, then he gets rebutted by the sex therapist of the story who says that most of his male patients who suffer from sex problems during their marriage had very active sex lives in their youth, and as consequence, the experiences accumulated and they de-sensitiviced and mechanized the act, when, according to him, sex is not about technique and experience -- it's about feeling. - Burnistoun: The Doberman was heavily bullied and forced to hump a pole as a teen due to being a virgin. As an adult superhero, he's still very sensitive about it. - Charmed (2018): Zigzagged in the third episode. There's some jokes at Cam's expense, but it's because he's an incel, not a virgin. Macy also finds her own virginity a bit pathetic, but her sisters reassure her it's nothing to be ashamed of, which makes this show a perfect example of the Double Standard that often accompanies this trope. - Deconstructed in an episode of Family Matters in which Steve reveals Eddie's virginity to an entire men's locker room, inadvertently causing all the guys to make fun of Eddie. Later on in the episode, Eddie stands up to them with a speech about how real men value women as human beings and not as conquests. - In the Firefly episode "Jaynestown", a local magistrate hires Inara to sleep with his 26-year-old-virgin son, supposedly in order to "make him a man." After they have sex, the son is disappointed that he doesn't feel fundamentally different. He asks, "Aren't I supposed to be a man now?" She answers, "A man is just a boy who is old enough to ask that question. Our time together is a symbol; it means something to your father. But it doesn't make you a man. You do that yourself." The event that makes the son become a man in his own eyes is when he defies his father by helping the crew of Serenity escape. - In an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Carlton plays poker with Will and his friends, they reminisce about their first times. When Carlton reveals he's a virgin, Jazz keeps making fun of him. - A variation is discussed in an earlier episode when a girl claims that she had Carlton's baby, Carlton goes along with it. When Will tracks down Carlton to the chapel where they're going to elope, he tells Will that he knew she was lying about the baby being his but didn't refute it because he didn't want people to know he's still a virgin. - In the second season of Galavant, a potion to save Galavant's life requires a gray hair from the beard of a middle-aged virgin. King Richard initially insists that such a thing would be impossible to find, before relenting and admitting that he's a virgin (despite being fifty, a king, and married). - General Hospital: After Jagger dumped Brenda for Karen, Brenda took great pleasure in taunting Karen about the fact that she was a virgin and not ready to have sex, suggesting that it was only a matter of time before Jagger dumped Karen to come back to her. She had a serious Heel Realization months later upon learning that Karen's sexual fears stemmed from having been molested as a child. - iCarly did a G-rated version: Sam finds out that Freddie has never kissed anyone, and announces it on the web show. Cue Freddie staying home from school for two weeks due to merciless teasing. Sam eventually puts it right by calling out the bullies, since most of them have never kissed anyone either... and publicly admits that neither has she. - Jackass: Ehren McGhehey reportedly was a virgin, which made him the Butt-Monkey of the gang. - Subverted and partially deconstructed on Legends of Tomorrow. When John Constantine needed a virgin for a spell, they used the nebbish Butt-Monkey Gary. At first it seems like another joke at Gary's expense, but it turns out Gary isn't sexually inexperienced, he's bisexual and the spell was based on a heteronormative definition of sex. (The absurdity is further heightened by the subsequent reveal that Gary is an alien and his species' method of reproduction doesn't remotely resemble human sex.) - Constantly used for humor on Married... with Children. Al Bundy was the Big Man on Campus in high school not only because he was a football hero, but because he made it with every hot girl in his class...at least before he got married and his life went down the crapper. His son Bud has the opposite problem, constantly trying (and failing) to score with women, something for which the rest of his family teases him mercilessly. - On one episode of M*A*S*H, Frank Burns tells the other doctors a story about how a girl from the debate team hit on him in high school, but he turned her down because he was saving himself for marriage. Our heroes react with disbelief and mockery, and even the usually fair-minded Col. Potter dubs Frank a "creep" as a result. Granted, they're all prone to dislike Frank due to him being a Holier Than Thou Jerkass, but this particular instance seems to reveal more about the era's mores regarding masculinity than the characters. - In an episode of Quantum Leap the boy Sam is there to rescue (as his mother) is teased by his so-called friends for being a virgin, despite one of the friends secretly being a virgin himself. - Atia on Rome is very determined her son becomes a man. Which she emphasises with this comment: Atia: You will penetrate someone today or I shall burn your wretched books in the yard. - Somewhat Truth in Television and less about sex for sex's sake than ticking off the boxes for things a Proper Roman Male needs to be known to do to BE a man — Octavian was at/approaching legal age, he needed to demonstrate it. (Also, note that the point is less sexual intercourse than penetration — man or woman, so long as Octavian is on top, it would "count". For Romans, male sexuality was not about the gender of the partner/target but very much about who was on top.) - Referenced, and somewhat lampshaded, in the first episode of the first series of Skins. Tony: It's embarrassing. Sid: It's common and quite normal for someone of sixteen— Tony: —No. It's embarrassing, Sid. - Smallville: For the first several seasons Clark was the epitome of the innocent male virgin, to the point that it'd become somewhat of an in-joke amongst fans, who coined the term "Supervirgin." In one episode, a witch who needs the hair of two virgins for a spell successfully uses Clark's, just in case there was any doubt. Subverted in that it was later revealed Clark was worried that in the throes of passion, he would lose control of his powers and harm his partner. When he lost his powers at the beginning of Season 5, he had sex with Lana the very next episode. - The Young Ones, episode "Time," includes a long fight occasioned by Vyvyan mocking Rick's virginity. Another episode of the same show, "Nasty", shows the whole cast reluctant to confess virginity in the face of a vampire who drinks virgin blood. Rick: What, me? Rick? A virgin? Ha, ha, ha! Just try telling that to some of the foxy chicks who owe me favours! Neil: Well if Rick's not a virgin, then I'm not either! Vyvyan Well, we'll soon find out, 'cos the vampire's gonna know! And anyone he attacks, we'll know is a sissy virgin! (To himself) God, I hope snogging with SPGnote counts... - After Rhett Titus had shown the ability to get almost any woman he wanted and spent many a day in Ring of Honor claiming to have slept with a denying Daizee Haze, she and Delirious eventually made him admit he was a virgin, though the truth of that is also suspect. - Molly Holly got this a lot from Jerry Lawler when she was a heel in WWE. (In addition to fat-shaming, when she just looks like an everyday, average woman.) - In Carte Blanche Jeannine tells protagonist Edgar Delacroix he could learn something from the dirty pictures he had to take of an affair, "Snow White", and tells him to come back when he's lost his virginity. Edgar has no clue how she figured it out. - Drakengard 3: Zero despises her sister Four for being a virgin, and claims she can't deal with virgins in general. In Four's case, it's justified: Intoners have an enormous sex drive, and Four's repression of her own to feel superior to her siblings has messed her up psychologically and turned her into a murderous, hateful Jerkass. - Elden Ring: It's a common fandom joke to miscontrue Varre mocking the Tarnished for being "Maidenless" as this trope. In-universe, it basically means "can't level up/complete the game", since as is traditional for Souls games, leveling up is done for you by a Mysterious Waif known as a Finger Maiden; all Tarnished are supposed to be accompanied by a Finger Maiden, but you are not (the maiden implied to be yours is dead in the Chapel of Anticipation; many speculate that Varre killed her himself) and only meet your replacement level-up lady, Melina, later. - Fallout 2 intended you to start with the trait "Virgin of the Wastes", the flavor text of which suggested you really needed to get out more, and would be lost the first time you had sex. It was cut from the final release. - The objective of Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards is for the title character to lose his virginity. If he can't do it by next morning, he'll kill himself. To emphasize the challenge, prostitutes don't count (though he won't kill himself if he has sex with a prostitute). - In Team Fortress 2, one of the Spy's domination lines to the Scout is an insult to his possible manliness. Spy: Here lies Scout. He ran fast and died a virgin. - Played straight in Xenogears. A naive Fei-Fong Wong is teased about sex by the village prostitute at the beginning of the game. By the climax of the game Fei-Fong Wong and Elly begin a sexual relationship. - In the Danganronpa series: - Hifumi Yamada from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc does this at one point during his feud with Kiyotaka Ishimaru, referring to him derisively as "that virgin" while ranting against him. Ironic because Hifumi is an archetypal Otaku who firmly insists that the reason he never dates is because he only likes 2D girls, so he's pretty definitely being a Hypocrite here. Doubly ironic because their disagreement is over ownership of a laptop which may or may not contain the ditigised soul of the guy Taka may or may not have been in love with, which ambiguous as it may be is a darn sight more action than Hifumi ever sees in canon. - Miu Iruma from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is known to do this a lot to her classmates, even though it is not confirmed if some of the students really are virgins or not. Funnily enough, when Miu gets virgin-shamed herself, she gets defensive, and this is one sign that Miu is very likely a virgin herself and is guilty of Hypocritical Humor. All that said, Miu freely admits in one of her Love Across the Universe date events that she is actually more fond of virgins than she lets on. She just… expresses it in her own Miu way, like giving a box of fap material (of which some of the contents feature herself) to Shuichi, who is one of her frequent virgin-shaming targets. In one of her Ultimate Talent Development Plan events, Miu made pink orgasm-inducing Christmas lights as a present for, as she put it, "all the lonely bastards who got no one to spend the holidays with". - Fran pokes fun at 18-year-old Erik from Missing Stars for being a virgin. - In El Goonish Shive, fear of this is implied to be the reason so many guys who dated Diane lied about how far they went — which led to her getting slut-shamed even though she is a virgin. - In Loserz, where two protagonists are virgins and are portrayed as, well, "Loserz." At least, until Eric gets laid, but Ben has no such luck. - Gary of Ménage à 3 spends the early part of the comic's long run as a virgin with serious related self-esteem problems and the subject of pity from other characters who know, despite their (rather ham-fisted) attempts to help him. Then he (a) turns out to be a natural oral sex master, and later (b) gets laid. The joke is, he remains... Gary. A hopeless geek with negligible social skills. He just goes from having no sex to being sexually exploited (though he doesn't seem to object to that much). His virginity is a symptom of his hopelessness, not its cause. - The Virgin vs. Chad meme, where the contemptible "virgin" is contrasted with the over-the-top "Chad". Parodied with "The Virgin Chad", who is worthy of admiration precisely because his religious principles have him save his virginity until marriage. - A meme brewing the *chans inverts this: if a man reaches age thirty without having known the touch of a woman, he becomes a wizard. - "The Official Virgin Age Meter" meme states that the perfect age for a man to lose his virginity is 16, while someone who is still a virgin at 20 (shown as a fat nerd) is "beyond saving". (Of course, this being the internet, it's hard to tell how seriously is it taken by people who post it.) However, not losing one's virginity until 30 makes one a wizard of unparalleled power. - YouTube personality DrNerdLove comments about it in his video "The Virginity Paradox" regarding male virginity. - Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] Abridged: In Episode 10, Lancer mocks Archer about this, though considering Archer's true identity, he likely isn't a virgin. Lancer: There was a snide Archer in red, No woman would join him in bed, He picked the wrong side, and fate will decide, If this fight will end with him dead! Archer: Did you just call me a virgin through limerick!? - This parodic video from Jehtt, taken from of a cutscene of Sonic Riders, hilariously inverts this. When racing against Jet, Sonic shames him for not having sex as a classic teen joke, but the green bird isn't bothered by it: - In "The Last Days Of Dr. Wily", while Dr. Wily is talking to Greg, Wily leans over and picks up a printed robot design, which is just Wily's 8-bit sprite with the caption "VIRGIN MAN". Wily looks at Greg in silent annoyance, then drops the paper and walks away while Greg just shrugs. - Referenced in The Nostalgia Chick and The Nostalgia Critic in their review of Hocus Pocus, where they wonder why the characters feel like it's so weird for a 15-year-old boy to be called out on as being a virgin. - Sword Art Online Abridged has Rosalia do this to Kirito as her last words after he slices open her neck, and it takes him five episodes to manage a comeback. Kirito: I'm gettin' real tired of your first-year psych student bullshit. Rosalia: Enjoy this while you can; it's the deepest you'll ever be in a woman. (dies) Kirito: Yeah, well, you're dead, so... ...DAMNIT! - American Dad!: In the James Bond movie parody "Tearjerker": Francine: Oh my god, you really are a virgin! Stan: What... isn't that good? Francine: No. It's awful. - Parodied in the episode The 42-Year-Old Virgin, in which all the usual clichés come out after Stan shamefully admits he's never actually killed anyone. - Diane from BoJack Horseman experienced both this and Slut-Shaming at the same time when she was called a "virgin slut" in high school. Even back then, she wasn't afraid to point out the Logic Bomb. - Rev. Putty in Moral Orel, who's in his forties and balding and still a virgin, much to his ire.

Author: Christopher Rice What I’m Talking About: Hey. Hey you. Fan of super sensual erotic romance? Like a little paranormal tossed in to make things interesting? Get your hiney online and one-click some of Christopher Rice’s erotic romance. Yup. He’s the son of Anne Rice, and to be honest, I like his writing better than his mom’s. So there. Chris’s first erotic romance offering is through the 1,001 Dark Nights project, a pretty cool consortium of authors constructing stories under the guise of someone taking the place of Scheherazade and having to tell the king a new story every day to save their life. I am IN LOVE with this concept! I’d heard about the 1,001 Dark Nights tales, but I’d never had the opportunity to sit down and actually read any of them. I was finally tossed in the melee of these beautiful tales when I found out about Coastal Magic Convention, and because I’d have the opportunity to meet Christopher Rice. Um. Why didn’t anyone point out the fact that Mr. Rice was writing erotic romance to me before now?!? Seriously. If this title is his maiden voyage in writing my preferred sub-genre of romance, we ALL need to sign up for newsletters, or do whatever we have to in order to stay up-to-date on his ER releases. I’m going to attempt to explain why I’m so enamored with his writing, but I fear I’ll fail miserably. I am IN LOVE with Mr. Rice’s voice. I’ve read erotic romance penned by men before, and unless it was M/M, the work has always fallen flat for me. I know I’ll be tapping my Chris Rice folder on my Kindle in the future for a comfort read—because it’s just THAT good. Here: “All of it is just too much. It’s heady smells, the depth of feeling it stirs within her. It’s the aromatic equivalent of a bittersweet song played on a lone violin, and each note animates a desire she would like to stay dormant, the desire to once again be at the center of the raw, animal passion of the two men who own her heart.” Maybe it’s because I closely identify with Cassidy, the main character. The want, the desire, the need for something magical to simply ignite my passion. A magical fix-all for some of the things I can’t quite attain (you don’t need to add in the bedroom to this, dirty-minded people!). Or maybe it’s because I want to simply let go and be able to pursue my heart’s desire. All of us have that ONE thing we want to do. One thing we believe will make us happy. One element of our lives we wish we could change. The quirky owner of a candle shop murmured the following words to Cassidy: “There is no virtue in ignoring your heart’s desire. To deny it, perhaps, is a noble thing, if it will hurt others or betray a trust. But to ignore it is to condemn yourself to a lifetime of darkness.” Shut. Up. Get outta my head. How many conversations have I had about this VERY topic? (My crit partner isn’t allowed to speak here) I’ll bet most of us could come up with an item or two that would fall into this category. An element of our lives in which we feel unfulfilled. Mr. Rice digs deep and plays on this desire in The Flame. I didn’t take this story literally, though. Not in the slightest (although it was SUPER hot, and the author crafts some of the most sensual bow-chicka-wow-wow I’ve read in a while). To me, it was one more nail in the coffin for another aspect of my life. I suppose it could really mean anything to anyone, depending on where they are in their lives. I did fall into a book coma, somewhat, after reading The Flame. Not gonna lie. I was worried for a day or so that Christopher Rice had ruined me for other works (don’t worry, that wasn’t the case…). When an author can find those areas of insecurity, need, and play to those aspects of my life, they’ve constructed something that goes beyond mere entertainment. The English teacher in me wants to teach a collegiate class on erotic romance and highlight this novella as an example of how it’s all about more than sex. I’m reading Surrender Gate right now. It’s the full-length novel following The Flame in the Desire Exchange series. I can already tell I’m going to adore it, and it’s not just for the connection to the characters (although there IS that…) and the well-crafted plot. My Rating: A+ Personal Favorite About the Book: IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT… Cassidy Burke has the best of both worlds, a driven and successful husband and a wild, impulsive best friend. But after a decadent Mardi Gras party, Cassidy finds both men pulling away from her. Did the three of them awaken secret desires during a split-second of alcohol-fueled passion? Or is Mardi Gras a time when rules are meant to be broken without consequence? Only one thing is for certain—the chill that’s descended over her marriage, and her most important friendship, will soon turn into a deep freeze if she doesn’t do something. And soon. LIGHT THIS FLAME AT THE SCENE OF YOUR GREATEST PASSION AND ALL YOUR DESIRES WILL BE YOURS. The invitation stares out at her from the window of a French Quarter boutique. The store’s owner claims to have no knowledge of the strange candle. But Cassidy can’t resist its intoxicating scent or the challenge written across its label in elegant cursive. With the strike of a match and one tiny flame, she will call forth a supernatural being with the ultimate power—the power to unchain the heart, the power to remove the fear that stands between a person and their truest desires. Release Date: November 11, 2014 Publisher: Evil Eye Concepts, Incorporated Series: 1,001 Dark Nights #11, Desire Exchange #0.5 Genre: Erotic Romance with Paranormal Elements Format(s): paperback (128 pages), e-book, audiobook Book Source: Purchased with my own funds Reviews in the Series: Dance of Desire by Christopher Rice (Chapel Springs #1, 1,001 Dark Nights #36)

How Can We Help? When was the first Business Excellence Award presented? The Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award was inaugurated on May 13, 2019 with a presentation for Lifetime Achievement to Jerry Jones, best known for being owner of the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys since 1989. From humble beginnings in Arkansas, to building a business empire valued at more than $5 billion, there are plenty of leadership lessons to be learned from his journey. The Business Excellence Award was presented to Jerry Jones by Brint Ryan, CEO of Ryan LLC, and Jim Ratchford, Executive Director of Texas Consilium. Texas Governor Greg Abbott assisted with a video tribute to Jerry Jones and recognition of Texas Consilium. The first Texas Consilium Business Excellence Award presented to a Texas business, rather than an individual entrepreneur, will occur on May 11, 2020.

All seminars are on Mondays at 4:10 p.m. in Room 122 of Briggs Hall and also will be on Zoom. The Zoom link: No seminar will take place on Monday, Jan. 15, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a university holiday. On tap for Monday, Jan. 22 is William Ja, associate professor, Herbert Wertheim Scripps UF Institute for Biomedical Innovation and Technology in Jupiter, Florida. He will present "Eat, Excrete, & Die: Regulation of Homeostatic Behaviors and Aging in Drosophila." "The Ja lab uses the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism for uncovering the genetic and neuronal mechanisms that drive aging, behavior, and disease, Ja says in his abstract. "Recently developed tools allow us to track fly feeding behavior with unparalleled resolution. These tools facilitate the identification of genes and circuits that regulate food intake at diverse time scales, including studies of: 1) meal intake; 2) daily (circadian) feeding rhythms; and 3) compensatory feeding in response to high or low quality food. Our studies of feeding behavior and nutrition also inform aging interventions, including a novel caloric restriction paradigm and an intermittent fasting regime that extends fly life through the stimulation of circadian-regulated autophagy. Overall, our fly studies shed light on basic neurobiological principles that drive animal behavior, providing insights that potentially inform the development of conserved therapeutic strategies." Ja received his chemistry degree at UC Berkeley, working with Richard Mathies and Alex Glazer on DNA sequencing technologies. He pursued doctoral studies at the California Institute of Technology with Rich Roberts, utilizing mRNA display technology to identify modulators of G protein signaling. Ja remained at Cal Tech as a postdoctoral scholar to work with Seymour Benzer on developing longevity ‘drugs' in Drosophila. His laboratory focuses on aging and nutrition, animal behavior, and host-microbiome interactions. Monday, Jan. 29 Assistant professor of forest entomology, Louisiana State University Title: "Characterizing Ecological Interactions of Arthropods in Forests under Global Change" Monday, Feb. 5 Professor of biology and cognitive neuroscience, City University of New York Title: "Circadian and Homeostatic Regulation of Fly Sleep" Monday, Feb. 12 Professor and associate chair of entomology, The Ohio State University, Wooster Title: "Discovery of Novel Chemical Tools for Controlling the Most Dangerous Animals on Earth" Monday, Feb. 26 Professor and director of graduate programs, Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University Title: "Advances and Innovations in the Characterization of Molecular Interactions Between Frankliniella occidentalis and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus." Monday, March 4 Research Group Leader, Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience Title: "How Flies Control How They Walk by Knowing When and How to Stop" Seminar coordinator is Brian Johnson, associate professor, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. For Zoom technical issues, he may be reached at email@example.com. More information on the seminars is here./span> All seminars will be in-person and will take place on Mondays at 4:10 p.m. in Room 122 Briggs Hall through Dec. 4, and also will be broadcast on Zoom. The exception: UC Davis doctoral alumnus' Charlotte Alberts' seminar on Nov. 13 will be Zoom only. Pollination ecologist Neal Williams, professor, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will introduce CaraDonna. The Zoom link: Research scientist at the Chicago Botanic Garden and a professor of instruction at Northwestern University Title: "Understanding the Dynamics of Plant-Animal Interactions in a Changing World" Abstract: "Plant-pollinator interactions are ubiquitous and play an important role in ecosystem functioning across the globe. Critically, plants, pollinators, and their interactions face numerous threats in our changing world, including those related to climate change. However, our understanding of the consequences of these threats to plant-pollinator interactions has been hampered because we lack knowledge of the basic ecology of many of these organisms, and how their ecology responds to changing abiotic and biotic conditions. We will investigate these issues in this seminar." Monday, Oct. 9 Associate professor and medical entomologist/geneticist, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology Title: “The Mating Biology of Tsetse Flies – Insights into the Morphological, Biochemical, and Molecular Responses to Mating Stimuli in a Viviparous Disease Vector” Abstract: "Research into the reproductive behavior of tsetse flies offers key insights into controlling diseases like African sleeping sickness. Unique among insects, these flies give birth to live offspring. During mating, males transfer a mix of sperm and other vital substances to the females. This study employs state-of-the-art techniques, including 3D scanning and genetic analysis, to monitor changes in the female fly's reproductive system over a 72-hour period post-mating. Findings indicate that mating sets off a chain of intricate changes in the female, affecting everything from biochemistry to gene activity. These changes prepare her for pregnancy and childbirth. The study opens up new avenues for understanding tsetse fly biology and offers potential strategies for disease control." Anthony Domiano Vaudo Research entomologist, U.S. Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station Title: "Pollen Nutritional ecology of Bee-Flower Interactions" Abstract: "Pollen provides bees their primary source of protein and lipid macronutrients, essential for development, fitness, and resistance to stress. Yet, pollen macronutrient quality differs substantially among host-plant species. And thus, bees may be sensitive to their nutritional needs and differentially forage among host plants to obtain appropriate nutrition. In this presentation, I will highlight my research that has linked bumble bee host plant foraging preferences to pollen nutritional quality and individual and colony health. Using this as a theoretical framework, I will present recent research where I show that floral pollen nutritional quality can help explain the structure and patterns of bee-wildflower community interactions among diverse populations; and how this research can inform conservation practices. Finally, I will discuss how the quality of pollen that bees collect may differ between and remain consistent within species populations and help explain their history of floral preferences." Monday, Oct. 23 Assistant professor, UC Davis Department of Environmental Toxicology Department Title: "Disarming the Defenses of Resistant Pests: Rational Design of Inhibitors for ABC Transporter Proteins in the Varroa Mite" Abstract: "Varroa mites pose a significant global menace to honeybee colonies, causing colony losses, ecological imbalances, and food scarcity. Escalating pesticide resistance in these mites necessitates innovative strategies to bolster acaricide effectiveness. Small molecule synergists that heighten mite susceptibility to acaricides offer a promising solution by amplifying chemical treatment efficacy, thus reducing overall pesticide demand. Present synergist development strategies primarily target metabolic enzyme inhibition to restore insect sensitivity to pesticides. Our research focuses on ABC efflux transporters, pivotal in cellular xenobiotic handling, as a new approach. We aim to establish a toxicokinetic pipeline to uncover novel synergists and validate their ability to increase Varroa mite vulnerability to existing miticides. By capitalizing on synergistic interactions between sensitizing agents and acaricides, we aim to equip beekeepers and regulators with a sustainable toolbox to combat Varroa resistance, ultimately fostering long-term honey bee well-being." Monday, Oct. 30 Department of Biology, San Diego State University Title: "Ring Species, Ring Speciation or a Ring of Species? An Example with California Mygalomorph Spiders." Abstract: "Ring species can be defined as a chain of interbreeding populations which expands along two pathways around a geographic barrier, where terminal forms can coexist without interbreeding. A broken ring species model preserves the geographic setting and fundamental features of an idealized model but accommodates varying degrees of gene flow restriction through evolutionary time. Members of the genus Calisoga are distributed around the Central Valley of California, and previous genetic studies have shown that this is a lineage-rich complex of mygalomorph spiders, with evidence to suggest that Calisoga might be a case of ring speciation. Here we examine broken ring species dynamics in Calisoga spiders, using UCEs and mitogenomes we test key predictions of timing, ancestry, connectivity and terminal overlap. I will discuss why ring species should not be viewed as homogeneous entities, but rather as heterogeneous units with different predicted evolutionary dynamics in different geographic parts of the ring." Monday, Nov. 6 Research Microbiologist at the USDA-ARS United State Horticultural Lab in Fort Pierce, FL. Title: "Managing Soilborne Pathogens and Pests with Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (ASD)" Abstract: "Growers consider soilborne disease management one of their main production issues. It is estimated that members of the soilborne pest complex (SPC), weeds, nematodes, fungi, oomycetes, bacteria, viruses, and protozoans, account for 10-20% crop loss annually worldwide. Methyl bromide was used to manage the SPC, however, it was discovered that it contributed to ozone depletion, thus was banned worldwide. Currently, no registered alternative chemical fumigant is as effective as methyl bromide for SPC management. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is biologically based alternative to soil fumigation. ASD consists of amending the soil with a labile carbon source, tarping the soil with a plastic film, and watering the soil under the film to field capacity. During the ASD process the soil microbiome undergoes populations shifts and various anti-microbial compounds are produced. ASD has shown to be as effective as methyl bromide SPC management. This presentation will discuss the history of ASD and current research." Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Title: "Assassin Fly (Diptera: Asilidae) Systematics and Predator Ecology" Abstract: "Assassin flies (Diptera: Asilidae) are a diverse family that plays an essential ecological role as top aerial and venomous predators. Little is known about the evolution of their predatory habits. This study provides a novel phylogenetic hypothesis of Asilidae along with prey preference and ancestral state reconstruction in a maximum likelihood framework. This study is based on 176 assassin fly species, 35 Asiloidea outgroup species, 3,400 prey preference records accumulated from literature and museum collections, and approximately 7,913 bp of nuclear DNA from five genes (18S and 28S rDNA, AATS, CAD, and EF-1a protein-encoding DNA) and mitochondrial DNA from one gene (COI). Of the 12 asilid subfamilies included in the analysis the monophyly of six was supported. We used ancestral state reconstruction and stochastic character mapping to test whether a polyphagous arthropod predator is the ancestral state for Asilidae. Assassin flies are polyphagous arthropod predators, with specialized arthropod prey preferences evolving 20 independently across the Asilidae phylogeny. I will also summarize my other dissertation chapter, a review of Nearctic Saropogon with a new species description." Monday, Nov. 20 Etienne GJ Danchin Evolutionary biologist working with genomes: INRAE (French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment) senior scientist and scientific leader of the GAME team (Genomics and Adaptive Molecular Evolution) at ISA (Institut Sophia Agrobiotech), in Sophia-Antipolis, on the French Riviera. Title: "Parasitic Success in the Absence of Sex: What Have We Learned from Nematode Genomes?" Abstract: "Root-knot nematodes are devastating plant parasites of worldwide importance. Interestingly, species that cause most damages reproduce entirely asexually. These nematodes are extremely polyphagous and have a wide geographic range. Theoretically, in the absence of sexual recombination animal species have lower adaptive potential and are predicted to undergo genome decay. To investigate how these species can be successful parasites on many hosts and in many places around the world, we have sequenced and analyzed their genomes. Out analysis confirmed these species are polyploid hybrids and the combination of several genotypes from different species might provide them with a general-purpose genotype. However, this does not explain how with a theoretically fixed genotype these species are able to overcome resistance genes or adapt to a new host. Therefore, we analyzed genomic variability across different populations and the possible mechanisms underlying genomic variations. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of our findings." Monday, Nov. 27 Senior Scientist in the Institute of Plant Sciences, The Volcani Center, Israel Title: "Improving Cross-Pollination in Deciduous Fruit Trees" Abstract: "Tree crops belonging to the Rosaceae, such as almond, pear, apple, and sweet cherry, depend on cross-pollination by insects to set fruit. The primary pollinator of the crops is the honey bee (Apis mellifera). However, due to harsh climatic conditions during flowering, limited movement of bees between cultivars, low preference of the bees for flowers of the target crop, and limited overlap in flowering between the cultivars, pollination is a primary factor limiting yield. Our group has tested multiple approaches to mitigate this problem: Using 'Pollen dispensers,' sequential introduction of beehives to the orchards, selection of honeybee strains with higher preference for the target crop, introduction of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies and phosphorous fertilization to increase nectar secretion and improve crop-flower attractiveness. I will summarize the effects of those methods on fruit set and yield in apples, almonds, and pears." Professor in the Section of Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, San Diego, and associate dean in the Division of Biological Sciences Title: "Danger, Dopamine, and Dance: New Insights from the Magic Well of Honey Bee Communication" Abstract: "Karl von Frisch referred to the waggle dance as the 'magic well' for the insights that it provides not only on honey bees, but on the general cognitive complexity that social insects are capable of. New research demonstrates that the neurotransmitter, dopamine, the “pleasure molecule” plays a similar hedonic role in honey bees as it does in many vertebrates, regulating the perception of danger and the anticipation of food rewards as revealed in the excitatory waggle dance and the associated, inhibitory stop signal. I will also discuss new data showing that the honey bee waggle dance is partially learned and has elements that may be culturally transmitted. Together, these findings, demonstrate that the waggle dance can teach us a great deal about shared cognitive mechanisms and the importance of social learning across taxa." For seminars technical issues, contact Johnson at firstname.lastname@example.org. Johnson, a leading expert on the behavior, genomics and evolution of honey bees, is the author of a newly published book, “Honey Bee Biology,” released June 6 by Princeton University Press. Johnson joined the UC Davis faculty in 2011 after conducting postdoctoral research at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley. He focuses his research on the behavior, evolution, theoretical biology and genomics of the honey bee. “Our lab studies the genetics, behavior, and evolution of honey bees,” Johnson writes on his website. “We use experimental and theoretical approaches to all the questions we explore. Current work in our lab focuses on the evolution and genetic basis of social behavior using comparative and functional genomics, task allocation using behavioral and theoretical approaches, and honey bee health using a combination of genetics, epidemiology, and physiological approaches.” It's Labor Day but "The Girls" continue to work. "The Girls" are the honey bees, a great example of a matriarchal society. How many workers (girls) do you see foraging on your flowers? But inside the hive, "The Girls" are nurse maids, nannies, royal attendants, builders, architects, dancers, honey tenders, pollen packers, propolis or "glue" specialists, air conditioning and heating technicians, guards, and undertakers. And the males? Their responsibility is to mate with a virgin queen--and then they die. In his newly published book, Honey Bee Biology (2023 Princeton University), UC Davis bee scientist Brian Johnson of the Department of Entomology and Nematology, covers everything from molecular genetics, development, and physiology to neurobiology, behavior, and pollination biology. It's meant for bee scientists, social insect biologists, beekeepers, and those who are just eager to learn more about honey bees. Honey bees "evolved from the hunting wasp, a group of four clades of wasps that typically provision their offspring with insects or spiders," Johnson writes in his opening chapter, 'Natural History, Systematics and Phylogenetics.' Probably the most well known of the hunting wasps (to the nonentomologist) are the mud daubers that build their nests on the sides of people's homes." "The split between these wasps and what evolved into the bees occurred about 120 million years ago," Johnson writes. Basically, wasps continue to be meat-eaters, but honey bees "have gone vegetarian," as Johnson points out. When you see honey bees foraging on flowers, gathering nectar and pollen, just remember that they are vegetarians. And especially, on Labor Day, remember how "The Girls" tend to the needs of the queen, their sisters and their brothers. As a society, we could learn a lot from honey bees. National Honey Bee Day is Saturday, Aug. 19 and you're invited to join this oh-so-sweet celebration! Launched in 2009, National Honey Bee Day takes place on the third Saturday of August. The event originated when a small group of beekeepers petitioned the U.S. Department of Agriculture "to honor" the honey bees and beekeepers. HoneyLove.org, a Los Angeles-based honey bee educational non-profit organization, manages National Honey Bee Day and boosts "the educational outreach, community action and advocacy efforts to protect the health and well-being of honey bees," according to its website. California Master Beekeeper Program. While we're honoring bees, we should also honor the UC Davis-based California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP), founded and directed by Elina Lastro Niño,associate professor of Cooperative Extension and a member of the faculty of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. "The award seeks to highlight teams who actively develop and encourage faculty/staff partnerships and as a result are able to make notable contributions to UC Davis that contribute to the University's Mission of Teaching, Research, and Service; and who exemplify outstanding achievement and/or service," according to Staff Assembly officials. At the time of the nomination (March 15, 2023), CAMBP had - Given 32,000 hours of volunteer time (Beneficial Educational Experiences) and served 186,630 individuals in education, outreach and beekeeping mentorship. If a volunteer hour is worth $26.87, the program has given $859,840 back to the state of California in service of science-based beekeeping and honey bee health. - Enrolled 185 Honey Bee Ambassadors (a level established in 2021), 494 Apprentice, 93 Journey level candidates and certified 20 Master level beekeepers. There are 12 members in 2023 participating in their Master Capstone projects. - Recorded 3752 hours since the team began tracking Continuing Education Experiences in 2020. - Embarked on a project updating a safety manual. National Honey Bee Day is also a good opportunity to learn about bees, our mini-agricultural workers that pollinate one-third of the food we eat. The book includes 16 color plates (images contributed by Kathy Keatley Garvey), spotlighting a bee egg, bee castes, swarms and almond pollination, among others. Princeton University Press bills the book as "the first up-to-date general reference of its kind published in decades. It is a must-have resource for social insect biologists, scientifically savvy beekeepers, and any scientist interested in bees as a model system." Among his many honors and recognitions, Johnson was part of The UC Davis Bee Team that won the 2012 Team Award from the Pacific Branch, Entomological Society of America. Other members: Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen (1944-2022); systematist/hymenopterist Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology; native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp (1933-2019) emeritus professor of entomology; and pollination ecologist Neal Williams (now professor) who specializes in pollination and bee biology. It's a tough world out there for pollinators. Take it from UC San Diego bee scientist James Nieh, who will be on the UC Davis campus next week to speak on "Animal Information Warfare: How Sophisticated Communications May Arise from the Race to Find an Advantage in a Deadly Game Between Honey Bees and Their Predators." His seminar, part of the fall quarter seminar series hosted by the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will take place at 4:10 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 25 in 122 Briggs Hall, Kleiber Hall Drive. Fellow bee scientist Brian Johnson, associate professor of entomology, is the host. "In addition to the classical arm race that has evolved between predators and prey, information races also occur, which can lead to the evolution of sophisticated animal communication," says Nieh, a professor in the Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution, Division of Biological Sciences. "Such information can shape the food web and contribute to the evolution of remarkable communication strategies, including eavesdropping, referential signaling and communication within and between species, including between predators and prey." "I focus on the world of information exchange (acoustic, olfactory and visual) that has co-evolved between Asian honey bees (Apis cerana, A. florea, and A. dorsata) and their predators, the Asian hornets (Vespa velutina and V. mandarinia)," Nieh says in his abstract. "I will explore how and why such information races occur through the remarkable examples provided by these high social insects." He presented a TED talk on "Bees and Us: an Ancient and Future Symbiosis" in July 2019. A native of Taiwan, Nieh grew up in Southern California and received his bachelor's degree in organismic and evolutionary biology in 1991 from Harvard University, Cambridge, and his doctorate in neurobiology and behavior from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., in 1997. He subsequently received a NSF-NATO postdoctoral fellowship to study at the University of Würzburg in Germany. A Harvard junior fellowship followed. Nieh joined the faculty of the Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution in 1997 as an assistant professor, advancing to associate professor in 2007 and professor in 2009. He served as vice chair of the section from 2009 to 2014, and as chair from 2014 to 2017. His latest co-authored research, published in the journal Chemosphere in 2019, is titled Combined Nutritional Stress and a New Systemic Pesticide (flupyradifurone, Sivanto®) Reduce Bee Survival, Food Consumption, Flight Success, and Thermoregulation. Assistant professor Rachel Vannette is coordinating the fall quarter seminars. Nieh's seminar is the first of the fall quarter. (See list of seminars.) Vannette may be reached at email@example.com.

Salman Khan's hit and run case has been adapted into a movie titled 'Driving Licence'. The movie is a comedy-drama which stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead roles. It tells the story of an aspiring actor who gets into an accident with Salman Khan's car and is forced to flee the scene to avoid legal action. The movie follows the actor's journey as he deals with the aftermath of the accident and attempts to clear his name. The movie offers a light-hearted take on the case and has been praised for its wit and humour. It is an entertaining watch for anyone looking for a comedic take on the case. The USA is a dream destination for many Indians, offering a wealth of opportunity and an increased standard of living. Settling in the USA can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. For those willing to take the plunge, the USA has much to offer, from a vibrant culture to a strong economy. However, there are also potential drawbacks to consider, such as the cost of living, the language barrier, and the difficulty of making new friends. Ultimately, whether settling in the USA is worth it for an Indian individual or family depends on their needs and goals. With careful consideration, the USA can be a great place to call home.

Tesla has confirmed that it will be disabling the Passenger Play feature of the Tesla Arcade on-board gaming hub after coming under fire from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The NHTSA deemed this feature a safety hazard arguing that even though it’s meant for the passengers, the driver could easily bypass the safety feature and play games while at the wheel. The only feature implemented by Tesla to prevent the driver from accessing gaming while on the move was a simple button on screen that could be easily placed by people sitting in either front seat. Now Teslarati received a statement from the NHTSA confirming the fact that Tesla had agreed to disable the feature until further notice. The statement says: Following the opening of a preliminary evaluation of Tesla’s “Passenger Play,” Tesla informed the agency that it is changing the functionality of this feature. In a new software update, “Passenger Play” will now be locked and unusable when the vehicle is in motion. The Agency maintains regular discussions with all manufacturers to discuss potential safety concerns of these systems, including Tesla’s response to our concerns about this feature. The Vehicle Safety Act prohibits manufacturers from selling vehicles with defects posing unreasonable risks to safety, including technologies that distract drivers from driving safely. NHTSA constantly assesses how manufacturers identify and safeguard against distraction hazards that may arise due to faults, misuse, or intended use of convenience technologies, including infotainment screens. We will continue to do so. NHTSA also reviews consumer complaints and a massive amount of data that companies are required to submit on a regular basis, looking for evidence of safety risks. If the data show that such a risk may exist, NHTSA will act immediately. Tesla will therefore only allow access to the gaming feature when the vehicle is completely stationary. We don’t know exactly when the update that locks it will be rolled out, but it’s safe to assume this will be one of the changes made by the next over-the-air update from the manufacturer.

Incorporating anti-ageing skincare into your usual routine isn’t unexpected for an adult - but dermatologists have warned that children as young as 10 are being influenced by social media to get their hands on skincare products they do not need. Dermatologists from the British Cosmetic Dermatology Group have said they are concerned by a growing trend that sees children and teenagers, usually young girls, asking their parents to buy them anti-ageing skincare from expensive brands that are popular on social media. The warning comes after a number of American social media users noted a rise in young children shopping in beauty stores like Sephora and Ulta, particularly for skincare products that are geared towards older women. Dr Emma Wedgeworth told the Guardian she has experienced an increase in teenagers consulting with her who “are using expensive and extensive skincare routines”. “They are spending a huge amount of time on their skincare routine before and after school… I think, as with anything, it is about moderation,” she said. Social media pushing anti-ageing skincare onto young teens Medical and cosmetic doctor Dr Leah Totton, founder of Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics and Dr Leah Skincare, tells Yahoo UK that she believes the rise in teenagers using anti-ageing skincare is down to social media, especially TikTok. “The ‘Get Ready With Me’ videos by influencers on social media are hugely popular, and skincare can often be a key focus of this,” she explains. “Teenagers should not look to social media platforms for skincare advice. With the wealth of skincare content available online, it is becoming difficult to differentiate who is an expert. “Everyone’s skin is individual and will have different requirements depending on skin type, age and environmental factors.” Dr Saniyya Mahmood, aesthetic doctor and medical director of Aesthetica Medical Clinic, adds: “A 14-year-old doesn’t require a complicated skin regime, definitely nothing that is anti-ageing at that age. “However, the pressure of looking young with trends changes fast. Social media definitely is facilitating the commercialisation of anti-ageing and unrealistic results.” The right age to start an anti-ageing skincare regime For teenagers, experts recommend a gentle skincare routine, which includes a gentle cleaner and a moisturiser, as well as SPF to reduce the risk of sun damage. Dr Mahmood says most dermatologists recommend introducing skincare products around the age of 12, or whenever puberty starts, as taking care of our skin from an early age will lead to healthier skin in the long term. But, during teenagehood, there is no need for products such as retinols or vitamin C. While it may not be “physically dangerous” for teenagers to be using these products, Dr Mahmood warns that it is “concerning how self-critical children are these days”. As for when people can start looking into using anti-ageing products, Dr Totton says mid to late twenties is a good time to begin. “This is when the skin’s collagen levels start to deplete and we may begin to notice changes in the skin texture,” she says. The use of anti-ageing products on children and young teenagers could result in further sensitivity, breakouts and dry skin as they may be too harsh on skin that is subject to hormonal fluctuations. “It is important that any ingredients are being used in the correct quantities and combinations, as this can run the risk of damaging the skin,” Dr Totton adds. “Medical grade actives should only be used after consultation with a skin doctor.” What type of anti-ageing products should adults use? We often hear complicated terms like “retinol” and more bandied about when it comes to anti-ageing products, but what are their actual benefits? Dr Totton explains: Retinol: There is good evidence that retinol can reduce wrinkle depth, but this product can cause sensitivity so is not suitable for all skin types and should be introduced in a phased way under the care of a cosmetic doctor. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): This can help improve the skin’s protective barrier by stimulating ceramides, this leads to a healthier skin barrier which retains moisture. It is also a gentle skin active, suitable for sensitive skin. Vitamin C: Using a Vitamin C serum daily can help protect against free radicals (pollution damage) so can prevent premature ageing.

Alongside the numerous changes Apple is making to its platforms to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), the company is also updating its rules around streaming game services and other apps that provide access to mini-apps or games. The changes could impact companies like Netflix, which has expanded into mobile and cloud gaming in recent months, as well as efforts from other tech giants like OpenAI, which offers a GPT store, and Meta, which in 2022 had shut down its attempt at running a stand-alone Facebook Gaming app after failing to gain traction. According to an announcement Apple published on Thursday, developers globally can now submit a single app that has the capability of streaming all the games offered in their catalog. This is a change from the prior rules, which said that every game offered to iOS users had to be listed on its own, separate App Store page -- a requirement Apple said was necessary in order to properly review and vet each app's age rating and compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. The goal, most likely, is to encourage companies that would rather launch an independent app store for gaming -- now that it's permitted in the EU by the DMA -- to do so on Apple's App Store instead, where Apple takes a cut of the in-app purchases. Microsoft, notably, had been weighing the option of launching its own mobile gaming store, it was reported last year. In addition, Fortnite maker Epic Games also wanted to distribute its games through its own games store, suing Apple over antitrust concerns in hopes of gaining that opportunity. But Apple largely won its court battle in the U.S., having only been forced to comply with the one provision that now allows developers to point to their own payment systems and websites from inside their apps. It remains to be seen how these companies will respond to Apple's new options. In addition to allowing single apps to host streaming games, Apple says that mini-games, mini-apps, chatbots, and plug-ins will also now be able to incorporate Apple's in-app purchase system in their apps. This adjustment seems to be focused on the concerns emerging over OpenAI's GPT Store, which functions like an app store of sorts for custom AI chatbots that work similarly to ChatGPT but are designed for specific purposes. With the GPT Store and the rise of AI more broadly, Apple could lose a potential source of revenue if users were to browse and discover paid or subscription-based chatbots from within a larger app. This move cements that even those types of services will be subject to Apple's in-app purchase rules -- and the 15% to 30% commissions it takes. Apple noted that each mini-app, in-app game, or in-app experience will still have to adhere to its App Store Review Guidelines, meaning Apple would need to review the AI chatbots, or GPTs, if OpenAI decided to bring them to iOS users instead of only those on the web. It also said that the app's overall rating would have to reflect the highest age-rated content in the app. Related to this and other changes, Apple is also rolling out over 50 new reports to developers through the App Store Connect API that will help them to analyze their app's performance in areas like engagement (the number of users interacting with an app or sharing it with others), commerce (info about sales, pre-orders, downloads, and transactions through IAP), app usage (crashes, active devices, installs, deletions), and frameworks usage (e.g., how it interacts with CarPlay, Widgets, PhotoPicker and more). Apple is also now removing the requirement that developers have to add sign-in with Apple alongside the other sign-in options offered for their apps. Instead, developers who are using third-party or social logins for their app can offer another "privacy-focused login service," if they choose.

January is (finally) coming to an end and no doubt those fitness goals we were so determined to stick to are starting to lose steam. If this sounds somewhat familiar and you have fallen off the exercise treadmill, there is another, and arguably more fun, way to burn those calories - having sex. When it comes to the most enjoyable form of working out, getting it on has to be a clear winner, but just how effective is the bedroom activity in helping us stay fit? Many of us find that our sex life dwindles in the winter months, but when we do get intimate, is there any truth to the whispers that getting down is just as effective as heading to the gym? Recent research from the Mayo Clinic indicates that burning 3,500 calories leads to the shedding of one pound of fat. This suggests that the average man (weighing 198 pounds) would need approximately 6 hours and 23 minutes, while the average woman (weighing 170 pounds) would require 7 hours and 27 minutes to achieve this through sex. And while it is obviously good news that you can get your fitness on while also being turned on, it seems to take considerably longer to burn off the day's culinary treats than you might imagine. For ten minutes of fun time in the sack, the average woman burns 78 calories, while the average man burns 91 calories. The average British couple has sex for 19 minutes per sex session, which would lead to a using up 156 calories for a woman and 182 for a man. On the other end of the sexual scale, couples would need to participate in a full 120 minute encounter to burn 939 calories (women) and 1094 (men). How to increase your sexual stamina during sex Given that it takes between 6 – 7 hours to burn a pound of fat, many of us may need to boost our stamina in order to last longer. Thankfully there are some simple tips and tricks you can test out to up the length of your sessions and therefore burn more calories. Embrace Kegel exercises, even if you’re a man Dispel the myth that only women can benefit from Kegel exercises. "With their pelvic floor muscles, men can enhance their sex life through these exercises," a spokesperson from Condoms UK explains. "For women, Kegels improve sexual arousal, ease reaching orgasm, enhance vaginal lubrication, and relax the vagina for penetration. Men experience firmer erections as blood flow to the groin improves. A win-win for all involved." Indulge in extended foreplay Foreplay is not merely a prelude; it's a key component in enhancing sexual pleasure and duration. "The brain experiences heightened pleasure during prolonged anticipation, making foreplay essential for a fulfilling sexual experience," the spokesperson continues. Explore the edging technique Anticipate the reward by practising edging. "This technique involves nearing climax and then pausing, effectively delaying ejaculation and improving sexual endurance," the spokesperson explains. "Edging can be incorporated into both solo and partnered sexual activities. Opt for thicker condoms Thicker condoms can help desensitise the penis and delay ejaculation, aiding in lasting longer during sex. "This is a simple and effective method to help increase sexual endurance," the spokesperson explains. Embrace regular masturbation Regular masturbation contributes to building stamina, enabling individuals to last longer during sexual encounters. "Deliberately delaying orgasm during solo sessions can train the body to extend the duration," the spokesperson adds. "Consider incorporating mutual masturbation to explore and understand each other's preferences. Master deep breathing techniques Integrate deep, slow breathing into your sexual activities to reduce anxiety and extend the time to ejaculation. "Rhythmic breathing promotes relaxation, delaying the onset of orgasm and creating a more satisfying sexual experience," the spokesperson explains.

I do all of my morning runs fasted. I sometimes get a similar feeling to what you’ve described, where suddenly I get an intense hunger feeling and even sometimes a brief moment of light headedness. It usually doesn’t last longer than a few seconds and doesn’t effect my energy levels or effort. I don’t take any calories for any runs shorter than 3 hours, and this always happens within the first 30 minutes of my run. In my case, I think it’s related to me starting too quickly before my aerobic system is fully online. It only happens maybe 1 out of 10 runs for me. How often are you experiencing this? For at least 2+ years I have run 60-120mins in the early morning before breakfast without any issue – it’s just some good z1, sometimes z2 distance. For a long time I would eat banana on toast or porridge w/ peanut butter, banana etc. post run. Well… since a few months ago I have started to get a really hungry feeling during the morning runs. Sometimes I might even feel dizzy for a split second! After a while I begrudgling started to eat something small like a Clif bar pre-run, but the feeling still occurs. I know I’m not under fueling for the day, as I eat probably more than my fair share of good quality food. Eating usually stops around 9pm, and I get up at 5:30 to train before work. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m 42 with a 15 year background mountian running. On average I train 20-25hrs per week, with 12-16 of that running. I eat a healthy european diet with a standard macro split – probably 50% carb and an even split with protein & fats. - You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you are probably excited on the days when you wake up feeling like you can get things accomplished. Unfortunately, you may have the tendency to overdo it on the good days, leading a flare-up. What can you do on the days when your condition is at its worst? These 3 things may not work for everyone, but they are a few ways to help take your mind off the pain and what you are not able to do for the day. Those are just three ways to cope with fibromyalgia flare-ups, but there are plenty of others. What we need to discuss now is a way to be proactive about dealing with chronic pain. Upper cervical chiropractic is a specific niche in the chiropractic field that has been beneficially for many with fibromyalgia. This is because chronic pain conditions are sometimes linked to an atlas (C1) misalignment that can affect cerebral blood flow and brainstem function, leading to symptoms of pain, headaches, dizziness, and more. To learn more about the benefits of upper cervical chiropractic for fibromyalgia patients, schedule a no-obligation consultation with a chiropractor in your area.

Ever since it was announced that Billie Eilish was going to do a Bond theme song, the industry had high hopes for her contribution. Seeing as it hit the Billboard Hot 100 back when it was released, and recently picked up a Golden Globe this past January, the stage was definitely set for Eilish to follow up all her massive Grammys wins and start working on her EGOT. While there’s no musical or TV show in the works, as of yet, it was tonight’s aching and dramatic performance of the Bond theme song at the 2022 Oscars that really seemed to earn Billie her win. Either she’s an incredible actress to boot, or this song is really hitting home for Billie of late. Whatever it was, the Oscars moved past both the chart-topping, cultish favorite Encanto, and the historical pop power of Beyonce to give the Oscar to Billie, and her constant collaborator, her brother Finneas, for their forlorn song. As a 20-year-old, Billie is officially the first person born in the 21st century to win an Oscar, adding another feather to her cap as an extremely successful young person who only seems to keep going up. In case you missed her performance of the now Oscar-winning track earlier, check it out right here.

A raw and riveting interpretation of a timeless story The Joffrey Ballet Company opens its 2016-2017 season this month with Polish National Ballet Director Krzysztof Pastor’s Romeo and Juliet. Anyone who has experienced love and loss will enjoy this passionate, breathtaking performance of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy. Although the ballet is in three acts instead of five like Shakespeare’s play, none of it feels rushed. All of the rising action, for the most part, follows Shakespeare’s storyline pretty precisely. In fact, the balcony scene takes place nearly an hour into the two-hour performance. Pastor’s version begins to differ when the plot becomes more complicated, after Romeo flees Verona. Where the play relies on language, the ballet relies on raw emotion. Mercutio, played by Yoshihisa Arai, pictured above, does an excellent job providing comic relief and provoking Tybalt’s rage. He enlivens the ballet significantly, many times eliciting audible laughter from the audience with his dramatic gestures and spiritedness. When he falls at the hands of the fiery Tybalt, the audience mourns his loss with the Montagues and draws rewarding satisfaction from Romeo’s impetuous revenge. Also captivating, of course, is the all-consuming romance of the adolescent star-crossed lovers. The couple sucks you into their hopelessness and heartbreak through sweeping, grandiose movements. Juliet, played by Jeraldine Mendoza, bends and twists in ways that reveal her extensive training, to convey teenage rebellion, gentle romanticism, and devastating heartbreak. Completely unique to Pastor’s version, each act takes place in a different decade, reflecting the Italian political undertones of that period: the 1930’s, 1950’s and 1990’s respectively. In Act I, the rigid Capulet family represents Mussolini’s dictatorship and the fascist regime of the 1930’s, while the lower and middle classes are portrayed by the freer, more peaceful Montague family. Act II establishes a more optimistic post-war vibe still riddled with conflict, while Act III highlights social division resulting from Berlusconi’s leadership. Tickets and Schedule The Joffrey Ballet performs Romeo & Juliet October 20–23, 2016; the full performance schedule is as follows: Thursday, Oct. 20 at 7:30pm, Friday, Oct. 21 at 7:30pm, Saturday, Oct. 22 at 2pm, Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7:30pm, Sunday, Oct. 23 at 2pm. Single tickets range from $34-$174 and are available for purchase at The Joffrey Ballet’s official Box Office located in the lobby of Joffrey Tower at 10 East Randolph Street, as well as the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University Box Office, by telephone 312.386.8905, or online at Joffrey.org.

Visible Learning in Early Childhood Evidence-based Strategies for BIG Learning Impact in the Early Years Knowing which teaching strategies work best and when can have a significant impact on a child’s development and future success. Backed by evidence from over 25 years of international education research and analysis, Visible Learning in Early Childhood explores seven core strategies for learning success. With these developmentally appropriate practices, you'll discover how to partner with children to encourage high expectations, set the right level of challenge, and focus on explicit success criteria. The Early Childhood Education Playbook examines how the Visible Learning® research can guide our decisions as we plan, teach, document, and partner with families and colleagues so that we can have the greatest possible impact on learning and development of children from birth to age 8. Each of the modules unpacks unique characteristics of early childhood environments as well as coherent practices that form a strong foundation for learning over time. In this chapter from Visible Learning in Early Childhood, the authors focus on the following questions: - What works best in early childhood learning as children learn about their world? - How do we activate learning in our young learners in ways that help them better understand the world? Get Started on a PD Journey for Your School or District Visible Learning in Early Childhood PD Workshops Our personalized professional learning workshops are designed for schools or districts who want to engage in high-quality PD with a certified consultant. Discover how to make learning visible in the early years and how to design and implement strategies for what works best in early childhood teaching and learning. Attend Our Upcoming Virtual Institute Early Childhood Institute Virtual Event | April 12, 2023 | 8:00 AM-2:30PM PT Our institutes are public, scheduled, one-day virtual learning events that offer high impact opportunities to learn from educational experts—ideal for individuals or small groups looking to jumpstart their learning. Join authors John Almarode and Kateri Thunder on October 28, 2022, to unpack the practical ways early childhood educators, families, and learners can collaborate to implement evidence-based practices and nurture visible learners from the very start.

Going back to the 1960s, there have been six different eyewitness accounts of what was described as a "floating, blob-like creature" in the woods of Kinderhook, New York. There was even a sighting as recently as 2017. The first encounter was reported by a 10-year-old boy, Bruce Hallenbeck, who was playing in the woods with his 7-year-old cousin. When I was 10 years old (1962) I was up in the woods behind our house with my cousin Chari, who was then age seven. We both heard this really high-pitched whistle noise. Hallenbeck said they went looking for the source of the sound, and eventually spotted what looked to be a white, formless figure that seemed to leer at them, although "it had no eyes that I could see." Hallenbeck said the two youths quickly ran back to their house. CAUSED ARMED MEN TO DROP THEIR WEAPONS A couple years went by without any new encounters. But then an unnamed man spotted something similar when he was hiking through the woods, saying a "big white blob" was floating toward him. He was reportedly so frightened that he jumped a pond that was 6 feet across. The man returned looking for the creature with a skeptical friend, and this time both were armed with shovels and pitchforks. When they both saw it again, they were so startled that they dropped their weapons and went running. The most recent encounter was in 2017 when Kinderhook residents Owen Farley and Anthony Malanowski spotted the "blob" on a walk. The two men said there was a noticeable drop in temperature directly before the sighting, followed by a high-pitched screech. They described "a white blob, around 7 ft. tall" coming out of the woods and floating towards them. Both men understandably ran away. Who knows what's prowling around the woods of Kinderhook, New York. Blob man? Ghost? We may never know.

If you use the rarfile module, make sure you're using version 3.0 (or later) We have a Python program to log mail attachment information for of the things it does as part of looking at attachments is try to look inside various sorts of archives to find out what sort of things are in there (occasionally the answer is interesting). Back in the summer of 2016, I added the ability to look inside RAR archives using the rarfile module, in addition to ZIPs and tar files (for which I was using the standard library's modules). At the time our mail machines were running a mixture of Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04, neither of which had the rarfile module available pre-packaged, but the recently released Ubuntu 16.04 packaged rarfile 2.7. Since the module itself is a single pure Python file, I just copied the 16.04 package's into our program's local source and left things there. (I believe that rarfile 2.8 had been out for about a month at that point, but it didn't seem worth deviating from the Ubuntu version. At that point I was hoping to switch to the official Ubuntu package when we upgraded all of the mail machines to Ubuntu 16.04, so we could theoretically let Ubuntu worry about its version.) Over time (starting no later than the fall of 2017), we noticed a slowly increasing number of MIME attachments with that we couldn't get the RAR archive contents for. Often our libmagic-based content sniffing (using the magic module) would say that these actually were what it thought was RAR archives, and frequently our commercial anti-spam system would detect malware in them. Recently this reached a tipping point (cf) where I decided to see if updating the rarfile module to the current version would improve the situation and let us look into more RAR The answer is yes. It turns out that there is a 'new' RAR archive format called RAR5, and rarfile added support for this format in version 3.0 (which was released at the end of 2016); before then, rarfile only supported the RAR3 format. Unsurprisingly, over time more and more RAR archives have been created using RAR5 format instead of RAR3 (although use of RAR3 is still surprisingly frequent in email attachments we get). To be able to read as many RAR archives as possible, you want rarfile 3.0 or later so it supports both RAR3 and RAR5 formats. Right now the 'or later' clause is not really important, since 3.0 is the latest released version. (WinRAR started supporting RAR5 in late 2013, but my impression is that there are a lot of third party tools and third party RAR code out there. Apparently a fair amount of it has been slow to implement RAR5 or at least to default to it for new archives, much like the rarfile module.) The rarfile module doesn't move very fast and it kept working for us in general, which is a large part of why I let it just sit there (and had we updated the mail machines to Ubuntu 18.04 and switched to the Ubuntu packaged version, we'd have automatically fixed the problem, as Ubuntu 18.04 packages 3.0). But it's an interesting experience in quietly outdated dependencies, where a more recent version would have improved our experience (and without us having to do anything). Locking or otherwise freezing dependencies is a very common way to get stability and guarantee reproducible deployments, and that's very popular with a lot of people (me included). But what happened to us is the drawback of that stability, especially for those programs and apps that are complete and which thus have no natural ongoing changes that provide a push to at least check the state of dependencies. PS: Updating to use rarfile 3.0 required no changes in our program, although we only use a very small portion of the module's capabilities. As far as I can tell, our code doesn't even notice whether the RAR archive is in RAR3 or RAR5 format. Using Wireshark's Statistics menu to get per-host traffic volume As part of my casual Internet browsing, I recently read 6 Lessons we learned when debugging a scaling problem on GitLab.com. As sort of an aside (although listed as a lesson), the article mentioned Wireshark's Statistics menu and how it can show you per-conversation information (and thus let you find specific sorts of conversations, such as short ones). I didn't think about it much at the time, but this mention stuck in the back of my mind (as such things often do, at least for a while). Today I had a situation where we had a saturated OpenBSD firewall and I very much wanted to find out roughly what hosts were responsible for the traffic. OpenBSD has per-interface statistics (which let me see that the firewall's interface was saturated with incoming traffic), but it doesn't have anything more granular by default and we didn't have any traffic accounting stuff set up in our PF rules. I tried a plain tcpdump, but this firewall sits in front of enough hosts that the output was overwhelming. As I was thinking unhappy thoughts about trying to write some awk on the fly, a little light went on; perhaps Wireshark could help. So I used tcpdump to capture a minute or two of traffic to a file, copied the capture file over to my Linux machine, and fired up Wireshark. (Since I only cared about packet sizes, not packet contents, I was able to let tcpdump truncate packets to keep the file size down.) The answer is yes, Wireshark absolutely had something that could help; the 'Endpoints' option on the Statistics menu gives you a breakdown of the traffic by various endpoint categories, including IPv4 hosts (it will also do it by host+port combination). This immediately pointed me to the high-volume hosts at work. Using packet captures for this isn't necessarily as useful and precise as real traffic volume information that is measured directly and reliably by the host in some way, and it likely has more overhead. But it has the large virtue that we can use it in any situation where we can run tcpdump for a while, and almost everything has tcpdump. I can use it with our OpenBSD firewalls to find traffic sources, I can use it with our Linux fileservers to figure out which NFS clients are doing a high volume of read or write IO, and I'm sure I can use it in plenty of other situations too. (One that just occurred to me is trying to find out who is doing an unusually large number of DNS queries to our DNS servers. We don't have query logging, but we can capture a couple of minutes of traffic to port 53.) Although I wish we hadn't had this problem today, I'm glad that I now have another tool for troubleshooting problems. And I'm glad that I read that article and its mention of Wireshark stuck in my mind. I really do never know when this stuff will come in handy.

Note: Some links leave to external sites. Greetings of the Season, BugFans, Wow! The 10th annual installment of The Twelve (or Thirteen) Bugs of Christmas! The Bugs of Christmas features shots, taken throughout the year, of insects and spiders who have already had their own BOTW, but who posed nicely. The next two paragraphs were borrowed from Christmas 2016, because the BugLady is still amazed by the history of this ubiquitous Holiday Classic. “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English carol that was probably borrowed from the French and that was originally an acapella chant/call-and-response/children’s memory game. There’s an alternative explanation about the various lords, rings, etc. being Christian code words for catechism during a time of religious repression (which seems a bit like playing Beatles songs backwards). It first appeared in writing in 1780, and there were (and still are) many variations of it, though the words were more-or-less standardized when an official melody was finally written for it in 1909 (and the insect verse was, alas, dropped. “Thirteen Bugs a’ buzzing”). See Wikipedia so you can hold your own in Holiday Trivia at parties (I’ll take Christmas Songs for $300, Alex). With apologies to all those Lords a’ Leaping, it’s time once again to celebrate a year of bugs with this baker’s dozen collection of the beautiful, the odd, and the mysterious. Gifts. Right under our noses. All the time. POTTER WASP – Throughout this BOTW series, we have noted the many places where insects deposit their eggs – in plant stems, in underwater vegetation, in dead trees, in flower buds, in mushrooms, in the BugLady’s wind chimes, in carcasses, in holes and tunnels underground, in other insects, in cells made of wax or paper, in egg sacs. The BugLady’s favorite is the small, mud pot attached to a twig or leaf by a potter wasp. SEDGE SPRITE – The BugLady is a tall person, and Sedge Sprites (her favorite damselflies) are tiny damselflies, barely an inch long, that mostly fly at altitudes lower than her knees. Photographing one involves tracking an insect the size of a sewing needle through sedges and other boggy vegetation. What a beauty! BUMBLE BEE – The plant is called Common Hound’s-tongue (Cynoglossum officinale) (aka houndstooth, dog’s tongue, Gypsy flower, and Rats and Mice (because it’s said to smell like them). Lots of small flowers on a plant that may grow 4 feet tall. It’s from Europe; it probably came over in the 19th century in a bag of agricultural seed, and it’s considered a noxious weed in parts of North America (but it’s rare in Ireland). It contains chemicals (alkaloids) that are toxic to livestock, its bristly seeds are not wholesome to ingest, and they irritate the skin, too. Historically, it was used as a cure for madness and to treat inflammatory diseases, lung issues, and “it heals all manner of wounds and punctures, and those foul ulcers that arise by the French pox’” (Culpeper’s Complete Herbal). The bumble bee doesn’t know any of that, and doesn’t care. LADYBUG and SHINING FLOWER BEETLE – Multicolored Asian Ladybird Beetles come in a variety of shades of red and orange with spots ranging from zero to many, but you can tell them by the “W” or “M” on the thorax (depending on whether they’re walking toward you or away from you). Adults eat aphids and scale insects, and their larvae eat even more aphids and scale insects, and some eggs of butterflies and moths. The BugLady couldn’t find anything that suggested that they might chow down on a small beetle like this Shining flower beetle, but the ladybug sure was interested in it and followed it all around the surface of the leaf. GIANT ICHNEUMON WASPS are among the BugLady’s favorite insects (Why? Read more about it here). There are two species of rust and yellow Giant Ichneumons around here, plus Black Giant Ichneumonid Wasp. This is a male Black Giant Ichneumonid Wasp. SPIDER WEB – an abandoned trap web, toward the end of summer. DARNER EXUVIA – In today’s usage, the empty, shed skin of an insect or spider is (mostly-but-not-always) called an exuvia (Pl. exuviae), from the Latin for “things stripped, drawn, or pulled from the body”. The BugLady, who likes etymology as well as entomology, wanted to find out more about the word, so down the rabbit hole she went. She discovered that even her two favorite dragonfly and damselfly books don’t agree with each other. The British use “exuvium” for the singular and “exuvia” or “exuviums” for the plural. When she did a bit more delving into “exuvium,” the BugLady found this awesome excerpt from a letter written by Sir Thomas Browne to his son Thomas, dated May 29, 1679: “I have sent you, by Mrs. Peirce, a skinne of the palme of a woemans hand, cast of at the end of a fever, or in the declination thereof; I called it exuvium palmæ muliebris, the Latin word being exuvia in the plurall, butt I named it exuvium, or exuvia in the singular number. It is neat and is worthy to be showne when you speake of the skinne. …. A palmister might read a lecture on it.” A post in a bugguide.net discussion further muddies the waters by stating that the cast-off skin of an insect should be referred to in the plural (exuviae) because “a single cast skin is a collection of insect parts and is thus an exuviae.” There’s no logical equivalent in Classical Latin, but Scientific Latin takes liberties with the Classical. The entomology community tacitly agrees that it’s a “we-know-it’s-not-correct-but-we’re doing-it-anyway” situation. The snail had nothing to do with the emerging dragonfly and, the BugLady guesses, is passing by. BUMBLE FLOWER BEETLES – When the BugLady found some of these and wrote about them one fall, BugFan Chris told her that they’re also around in the spring. Sure enough – she spotted this one in mid-May. MOURNING CLOAKS aren’t splashy, and they eschew wildflowers in favor of dripping sap, but they’re pretty spiffy nonetheless, and they’ve got a cool life story. In a group (the order Lepidoptera) where the adult portion of a lifespan is usually measured in a few, short months, these are long-lived and complicated butterflies. They overwinter as adults, mate, and lay eggs in spring. Their offspring feed on willow leaves, form chrysalises, and emerge as adults in late spring or early summer. After feeding for a while, they go into a state of aestivation (summer dormancy) to avoid wear and tear. They wake in fall, feed some more, and then overwinter as adults in a state of suspended animation called diapause, which is similar to hibernation, tucked up in a cloistered spot called a hibernaculum that shelters them from the elements, and protected from the effects of freezing by glycerol (antifreeze) in their bodies. They may fly during a January thaw or on mild days in late winter, but they can reenter diapause when the temperature drops. When they emerge and mate in spring, they’re about 10 months old. This pretty CLICK BEETLE by the name of Ampedus sanguinipennis (sanguinipennis means “blood wing”) is found in wooded areas – its larvae develop in, feed on, and then pupate in very rotten wood, emerging as adults by fall, but hunkering down within the pupal cell for the winter. Adults are pollen feeders that shelter under loose bark. Somewhere in its travels, this beetle encountered some mites, which hitched a ride. The harmless transporting of other organisms is called phoresy. Here’s a glamour shot. If you’re a CRAB SPIDER and you don’t spin trap webs, you need a different strategy for finding dinner. Crab spiders employ camouflage and ambush. The flower is a tallgrass prairie plant called leadplant. COMMON GREEN STINKBUGS (Chinavia hilaris) are considered persona non grata in agricultural fields and orchards because both the nymphs and the adults feed on fruit and developing seeds. And yet. Hilaris means “lively” and “cheerful,” and that’s the vibe this stink bug was sending on a sunny day. And an EASTERN AMBERWING Dragonfly in a pear tree.

Many people have experienced problems with public transportation systems: delays, ticket machines that are hard to use, inadequate or complicated signage making it difficult to find your way around a train system, disconnected modes of transportation, awkward payment systems, and poor transportation infrastructure to name a few. Such user experiences often result in people relying on their own car to avoid having to use public transportation. Transportation in Hong Kong In a crowded, busy, and fast-paced city like Hong Kong, with a population of close to seven million people, an efficient transportation system is critical to ensuring that people can move around smoothly. With over 90 percent of daily travel using public transportation—one of the highest rates in the world—Hong Kong provides a model for other cities experiencing or anticipating increased patronage as fuel prices rise and environmental considerations become more critical. Hong Kong enjoys a superb public transportation infrastructure that includes buses and mini buses, the underground and overground trains and light rail of the MTR (Mass Transit Railway), ferries, and taxis. A key component in integrating these diverse modes of transportation in Hong Kong is the Octopus card (Figure 1). The Octopus Card, or Octopus as Hong Kong citizens often refer to it, contributes enormously to the success of getting people around in Hong Kong. In fact, the Octopus has been so successful that it has extended beyond its initial use in public transportation and can be used to make payments at car parks, fast food outlets, convenience stores, supermarkets, vending machines, pay phones, leisure facilities, and schools. It has also been introduced successfully in non-payment uses such as access control. Put simply, the Octopus is a card and service that people in Hong Kong cannot live without. What is the Octopus The Octopus is the world’s pioneering and most extensive electronic payment system and was the first in the world to use contact-less stored-value smart card technology for public transportation. The card can be recharged at railway stations or outlets such as 7-Eleven that accept the card, and it is debited by “swiping” in proximity to a sensor. In 1997, within three months of its debut, three million cards were issued. The Octopus now provides access to most public transportation in Hong Kong and people can use the card with over 2,000 service providers. About 50,000 Octopus readers are currently in use with a transaction time of 0.3 to one second on average. There are now over seventeen million Octopus cards now in circulation, and 95 percent of the Hong Kong population aged sixteen to sixty-five own one. Octopus processes over ten million transactions per day, valued at HK$85 million (approximately US$11 million). Why do People Love Their Octopus - It’s easy to recharge at train stations and convenience stores. - It provides easy ways to add value. For example, you can link a credit card to the Octopus so that it recharges the card automatically. This helps both Octopus and MTR profit. - The card does not penalize you when you only have a small amount of money left on the card. For example, if your journey costs more than the available amount, one trip is still allowed (the card goes into negative value and will have to be recharged prior to a subsequent use). - The card is a nice collectible with the Octopus business creating key chains, watches, and cards embedded into mobile phones, moving the whole experience into people’s personal items. - The Octopus technology is scalable and flexible, allowing uses in car parks, on parking meters, and as a means of identification to allow access to secure areas. (By default, however, the card is completely anonymous and is equivalent to cash in that regard.) - You can check the remaining value, date, amount, and type of service provider of your last ten transactions via the Octopus Enquiry Machines free of charge at any MTR station. In fact, PCCW, one of Hong Kong’s leading telecommunication companies, provides a phone called “Eye” which allows people to check the latest ten transactions using a card reader at home. - Ticket machines are easy to locate at stations and easy to use. When you add value at your machine, you can use a debit card, credit card, or cash. Complexity Beyond the Simplicity The Octopus card overlays a highly complex technology. The Octopus reader/writer (called a “card reader”) houses a controller board and antenna that uses inductive radio frequency to transmit power and data signals to the processors inside the Octopus. Data communications to and from the Octopus is only established when the transfer of encrypted data verifies a mutually authenticated security handshake. The card reader is connected to the Octopus processors and receives commands from the processor controller on the actions to be performed. The transaction data is then either stored in the card reader or sent back to a host computer, depending on whether the processor is online or offline. All transaction data is sent back to the Octopus Central Computer at the end of each day for clearing and settlement. The amazing part is that all this complexity is shielded from the users with a simple user interface. All people need to know is how to recharge the card and to press the card against the card reader. Same Service, Different Story…London and Melbourne The main reason for the Octopus’ success is that it’s been set up as a joint venture with Hong Kong’s major public transport operators, so the operators and infrastructure that support it have real incentive to install the Octopus system. Other cities such as London and Melbourne have implemented similar systems, or are attempting to do so, with mixed success. London implemented the Oyster Card which is used on the Tube, trams, buses, DLR (Docklands Light Railway), London overground, and some National Rail services. The Oyster Card can hold up to three products including Travelcards, bus passes, or pay as you go (“PAYG”). There are some key differences between Octopus and the Oyster Card: - OYSTER CARD IS USED ON TRANSPORTATION ONLY – The Octopus has scaled to other uses including point of sale. - LIMITED INTEGRATION AND TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE COMPLICATIONS – The integration of various Oyster Card types is limited. While PAYG can be added to a normal period Travelcard, it cannot be added to a Freedom Pass (seniors card). So users must carry two separate cards if they want to travel at peak times. The management of all student Oyster Cards is linked to the academic year and requires London’s secondary school students to apply for new cards within the same two-week period. Any value associated with the current card can only be transferred to the new card by telephoning Oyster Card customer service. - TOUCH IN AND OUT SYSTEM IS NOT OBVIOUS – PAYG users on the Underground, DLR, National Rail, and overground services are required to always “touch in” and “touch out” for the correct fare to be charged. This is not obvious at stations with only standalone Oyster validators available instead of ticket barriers. Without a physical ticket barrier, PAYG users can easily forget to “touch in” their card correctly resulting in a penalty fare being charged to the traveler. - SYSTEM INSTABILITY – Over the years, Oyster has suffered faults including the day PAYG system went live in 2004, preventing some passengers with season tickets from making a second journey on their travel card. In 2005, a software fault rendered the system inoperable during the morning rush hour. Ticket barriers had to be left open and PAYG fares could not be collected. Finally, in 2008, corrupt software disabled an estimated 100,000 Oyster Cards, including Travelcards, Staff Passes, Freedom Passes, Child Oyster Cards, and other electronic tickets. The PAYG system failed, resulting in thousands of users being charged penalty fares. Melbourne’s myki Card in Australia plans to replace a number of ticket systems, primarily the current Metcard (metropolitan Melbourne) and V/Line (regional) ticketing systems. However, myki has been delayed until 2010, with the total cost of the system now at AUD$1.3 billion rather than the $1 billion originally budgeted. As the myki system has not yet been released, it’s difficult to assess key differences and the positive impacts on the current system. However, the proposed system is intended to have the following benefits: - One card for both regional and metropolitan use - Calculates the “best fare” in metropolitan areas - Future-use as a stored value card to pay for non-travel expenses like parking and vending. - Reduction in fraud due to use of photo-based card Beyond a Better Transport System Hong Kong’s transportation system is one of the best in the world, but there is always room for innovation. The challenge for designers is to think of new ways to help encourage people to use public transportation to help reduce carbon emissions. What will it take to get people not to use cars and make public transportation a more moving user experience?

Focus on Northeast Italy Although Italy now makes very good white wines in virtually every region, the best come from Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia (FVG). These two regions, along with Veneto and Trentino, make up what is generally referred to as Italys northeast, situated roughly between Austria to the north and Slovenia (part of the former Yugoslavia) to the east. In fact, each of these regions has something special to offer, and not just white winesVeneto's incredibly rich, alcoholic and unique great red Amarone being a case in point. But despite the obvious quality of the best wines of these four regions, they are still relatively unknown outside Italy, especially compared to wines like Barolo and Brunello. This is due to a combination of factors. Most important is the generally poor image of wines like Soave, made from a blend of white grapes, and pinot grigio, both of which are still among the top-selling imported wines in the U.S. despite the fact that most are quite neutral and churned out in industrial quantities. This is a real shame, for both Soave and pinot grigio can be delicious wines, but only when made by scrupulous, talented and yield-conscious producers. Unfortunately, too many casual wine drinkers try the indifferent, dilute wines first and are turned off to these categories forever. Another difficulty these wines face in export markets is that the better wines are rarely cheap, as this part of Italy must contend with the highest costs associated with growing grapes and making wine. Perhaps a classically styled, though still spotty, vintage like 2004 will help these wines attract new fans. Following on the heels of the difficult, rain-plagued 2002 growing season (a notable exception was Alto Adige, where the vintage was much less wet and actually quite good) and the equally challenging 2003, which witnessed extremely high summer temperatures, the 2004 whites from the better producers are solidly made and fresh. Good red wines were also made in 2004, but most of the reds that are currently available in the US market are from 02 (the better producers have made lighter-style, elegant wines) and 03, a year in which the reds are generally much more successful than the whites. Keep in mind that the 2001 vintage was also a strong year for red wines from this part of Italy. Italys northeast is where foreign and native grape varieties have equal representation, with many producers, for example, churning out bottles of cabernet alongside those of ribolla or nosiola. In fact, imported grape varieties such as sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, merlot and cabernet have long been at home in Italys northeast, something that cannot be said of most other regions of Italy. In fact, in this neck of the woods some of these French grapes are considered "traditional," rather than foreign, varieties. But in the last decade or so, a growing number of producers have also rediscovered their own local varieties, such as schioppettino and raboso. While many growers had never actually abandoned these varieties in the first place, today a larger number of producers are crafting far better wines by more carefully matching clones to sites and controlling their yields. These wines from indigenous grapes are essential to the future success of Italys northeast as they offer altogether different fragrance and flavor profiles than the international varieties and represent a welcome change for wine lovers seeking something new and interesting. The plethora of native grapes available in this corner of Italy (keep in mind that more than a thousand native vinifera grapes have been identified in Italy) can yield truly mesmerizing wines. It's true that some of the native grapes yield acidic, lean whites or lightweight reds with modest flesh and sweetness. And names on labels may also be a shock to the uninitiated. But then nobody ever said that Italy, the land of organized chaos and individuality pushed to the max, was going to make it easy for you. Ian DAgata is the director of the International Wine Academy of Rome and a contributor to several editions of Gambero Rosso's Italian wine guide. He has also co-authored a number of wine books, including one on Italy's native grape varieties and his own buyer's guide, the D'Agata and Comparini Guide to Italy's Best Wines. D'Agata's coverage of the best new wines from southern Italy appeared in Issue 121 of the IWC.

Signed in as: Signed in as: *Please see the message from Barbara Greenan, Sr. Vice President, Advocacy & Policy, regarding the iPLEDGE platform* As I’m sure you are aware, the new FDA-approved, Syneos-administered iPLEDGE platform went live Monday with drastic results. As we are being bombarded with hundreds of emails from very frustrated members, our internal staff team wanted to bring you up to date on the actions we are taking in partnership with the AADA iPLEDGE Workgroup led by Ilona Frieden, MD, FAAD and John Barbieri, MD, FAAD; and with input from our Council on GAHP Chair, Bruce Brod, MD, MHCI, FAAD. First and foremost, we are continuing to seek an emergency halt to this program. I’ve also attached: • an FAQ for members • talking points for members in discussing the topic externally, and • an expanded communication plan of what’s been done to date on the members side. In addition, we have: • emailed FDA and Syneos, and a formal letter from Dr. Tomecki is on its way shortly. • an all-member alert queued up and ready to roll as soon as we get the link to our grassroots alert posted, so please keep an eye on your email from the Academy. We know that members have been writing directly to their members of Congress as well as to FDA in addition to our practice center and member resource center. Over the last several weeks since the iPLEDGE programmatic changes were announced, we have repeatedly warned the FDA and Syneos that the proposed changes did not reflect clinical practice and would impede patient care. The Academy met with more than 50 members of the FDA the first week of December and after presenting our significant concerns with both the old and the new systems, asked for a halt to the program until those concerns could be addressed. We were told no, with the explanation that suspending the iPLEDGE program would not, from FDA’s perspective, provide the safeguards that are necessary to prevent embryofetal exposure. They also assured us that the iPLEDGE administrator was taking steps to address many of our concerns before yesterday’s launch. Clearly those steps were not effective. Our outreach since yesterday (Dec. 13) has included submitting an emergency request for FDA to reconsider. Other steps are as follows: please let us know if you have any questions.

Car Battery Replacement Replace Your Dead Car Battery Today Replaced My Car Battery Fast Before A Big Trip! I was suppose to drive up to Lake Superior with my wife for a long weekend. We had everything in our car packed up, but when we went to start it... nothing! Thankfully, I was able to jump it and bring my car to Victory. They got us a new battery quickly and we were able to make our trip! Nate J // Happy Customer Vehicle Won't Start? Maybe It Is time to replace your car or Truck battery! Car batteries don't last forever and some will fail at a bad time. Whether in extreme heat or freezing cold, there's nothing worse than being stranded with no way of getting your vehicle moving again- but these situations can be prevented if you know what signs indicate that changes need to happen for starters like checking voltage or replacing terminal cables when they look worn down. Did You Know... Some Main Reasons Your Car Battery Failed Which car battery type is right for you? Standard flooded car battery Cars are powered by an engine that is, at its heart, a large battery. The most common type of car battery has been the standard flooded one for years because it's generally more economical than some less commonly used types like sealed batteries or lithium ion ones. Who Should Use A Standard Car Battery? Standard flooded car batteries are perfect for vehicles with normal electric needs. Standard Flooded Car Battery Advantages - Generally reliable starting power - Suitable for all climates - Lowest-cost battery option Standard Flooded Car Battery Disadvantages - Limited power capacity - Limited cycling capacity - Shorter battery life Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) car Battery AGM is an advanced battery that provides superior power and performance. AGM car batteries are extremely resistant to vibration and are leak free. AGM offers better charging performance than standard batteries. If you want a premium battery, you want AGM. Who Should Use An AGM Car Battery? You should use an AGM car battery if you have high power demands for your vehicle as well as increased electrical needs from things like DVD players, seat heaters and other electrical gadgets. Also if where you live is very hot or very cold an AGM battery is probably a good choice. AGM Battery Advantages - Up to 200% longer battery life - Designed for extreme hot and cold climates - Power high electrical loads - Faster recharge - Vibration resistance - No leak batteries AGM Battery Disadvantages - Higher cost Car Battery Terminology With So Many Terms, It can be easy to misunderstand A car battery is like a living, breathing machine. It needs to be charged for it can work at its maximum potential - just as we do! The standard automobile battery in today’s vehicles is 12 volts and the voltage of your electrical system will regulate how well you perform on the road. If your charge isn't up to par, get an auto-battery test done soon so that there are no power outages along the way or worse yet: being stranded by yourself among strangers. Amps are the amount of electricity used or produced. You can think of cranking amps as the power provided to start your vehicle. Higher isn't necessarily better. You want an amperage for your engine size. Cold Cranking Amps Cold cranking amps (CCA) is just like cranking amps, but this is the measure of amps produced when in a cold environment. CCA refers to the number of amps a 12-volt battery can deliver at 0°F for 30 seconds while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 volts. If you are in a colder climate, you might want to look at a car battery with a higher CCA. This is the number of amps a car battery can produce for exactly 1 hour. You will see a variety of types but they really are: Standard (starting) or AGM. You might see AGM listed as Glass Mat. This is how long your vehicle can run without charge... For example if your alternator goes out. Most car batteries have a 100-120 minute reserve; some batteries have much more. This is a blessing and a curse in the sense that if your alternator fails, you can still drive... But... you may end up in the middle of nowhere when your battery dies. 7-Step Car Battery Replacement Process Call, Text, or Email to Set Up an oil change Appointment.

A battery test will determine if you simply need a jump or if you need a new battery due to damage. Not always. You want to find a car battery that is best for your vehicle and your climate. You don't always want the most expensive battery with the most amps. Make sure you turn off your lights and unplug any charging devices when not in use. Also consider an engine heater in winter as it will reduce the load on your battery. We carry all types of Napa auto batteries.

The Nevada primary is weird. It has a caucus and a primary. The primary happened yesterday without former President Donald Trump on the ballot. The state runs the primary. The Nevada GOP runs the caucus. The Nevada GOP decided those who ran in the state primary could not participate in the caucus. Trump, not Haley, will appear on the caucus ballot that happens on Thursday. Residents can vote in the primary and caucus. Anyway, you could say that Trump beat Haley in the primary because voters chose the “none of these candidates” option. Yes. Haley lost to no one in Nevada. The campaign did not spend money in Nevada or paid attention to the state. Haley and her team insisted the Nevada GOP rigged for Trump. “Even Donald Trump knows that when you play penny slots the house wins,” explained Haley’s spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas. “We didn’t bother to play a game rigged for Trump. We’re full steam ahead in South Carolina and beyond.” It sounds like Haley’s team was not wrong: Washoe County Republican Party Chair Bruce Parks, who pushed for the GOP to hold caucuses, said that he told voters who called his office — and Trump supporters — to participate in the primary by voting for “none of these candidates” over Haley. “They basically told us they don’t care about us,” Parks said in an interview after the race was called. “By marking ‘none of these candidates,’ we respond in kind — we don’t care about you either.” Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald, a Trump ally who faces state charges for serving as a so-called “fake elector” on the former president’s behalf, said he left it to each county GOP chairman to decide if they wanted to promote “none of these candidates.” He said Haley’s seeming disrespect of Nevada voters was “reciprocated” with the results. Haley’s team attempted to brush off the defeat: While her name was on the ballot, the former two-term South Carolina governor who later served as U.N. ambassador in the Trump administration ignored the Nevada primary. Haley didn’t campaign in Nevada ahead of the primary and hasn’t been in the state since speaking in late October at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference. “In terms of Nevada, we have not spent a dime nor an ounce of energy on Nevada,” Haley campaign manager Betsy Ankney told reporters on Monday. “So Nevada is not and has never been our focus.” As the vote count continued, the former president took to his Truth Social network to take aim at Haley. “A bad night for Nikki Haley. Losing by almost 30 points in Nevada to “None of These Candidates.” Watch, she’ll soon claim Victory!” he argued. Next up is Haley’s home state of South Carolina. I figured Haley would not drop out before South Carolina, but girl. You’re about to be demolished in your home state. Donations tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

The last day of business will be on March 24. Current employees will be able to work at other locations nearby or receive a severance package, officials said. In-N-Out said “repeated steps” have been taken to minimize crime and maximize safety, but despite their efforts, crime has remained a concern. “We are grateful for the local community, which has supported us for over 18 years, and we recognize that this closure negatively impacts our Associates and their families. Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company, but our top priority must be the safety and wellbeing of our Customers and Associates – we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment,” COO Denny Warnick said in a statement. In November, Leslie wrote about Oakland losing its restaurants. Home of Chicken and Waffles owner Derreck Johnson finds himself in a constant battle not to lay off employees due to loss of business: “I had a group from Miami get robbed at gunpoint on a Saturday afternoon, all their jewelry taken. That should not be my priority. That should not be my job, to make sure that my customers are safe while they’re walking the streets in Oakland.” At the time of publication in 2023, Oakland saw 1,282 armed robberies, up 43% from 2022. Vehicle thefts went up 50%. Home invasions rose 65%. Oakland citizens want to recall George Soros-backed Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. The campaign, Save Alameda For Everyone (SAFE), has 110,000 signatures to submit to the county. It only needs 73,000 valid signatures to land on the ballot. Donations tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

In a significant move, the European Council has incorporated transformative industrial technologies, particularly those focused on decarbonizing energy-intensive sectors like steel, into the list of net-zero technologies outlined in the EU's Net Zero Industry Act. EUROFER, the European Steel Association, has welcomed this recognition, emphasizing its potential to drive the growth of green markets across Europe. EUROFER highlights the pivotal role of carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) as a crucial tool in the journey toward low-carbon steelmaking. The association urges both the European Parliament and the council to capitalize on this momentum by forging an ambitious agreement. This agreement would not only support the promotion of EU-produced green products in public auctions related to net-zero technologies but also propel CCUS initiatives within Europe. Axel Eggert, the Director General of EUROFER, underlines the EU steel industry's commitment to over 60 industrial-scale decarbonization projects. These projects aim to achieve mass low-CO2 production as early as 2025-26. Eggert notes that all net-zero technologies, including wind, solar, and hydrogen electrolyzers, rely heavily on steel, estimating a demand for more than 74 million metric tons of steel for the expansion of EU renewables alone. However, EUROFER voices concern over the omission of the deployment of net-zero technologies, such as the conversion of existing steel plants to hydrogen and electricity-based methods, from the Net Zero Industry Act by the council. While these technologies are acknowledged, their exclusion means that low-carbon steel advancements may face hurdles in permit-granting procedures. EUROFER emphasizes that a potential reassessment five years after the Act's implementation will be too late for the initial phase of the steel industry's transition, potentially causing significant delays in implementation. In conclusion, EUROFER urges prompt action to integrate net-zero steel technologies into the regulatory framework, ensuring a smoother and more efficient transition towards climate-neutrality in the European steel industry.

Therefore, this increasingly accumulates, gradually seriously affecting the environment, affecting human life.

4 Gluten-Free Ingredients That Will Transform Your Baking Coeliac disease is a permanent, unalterable autoimmune disease caused by the immune system responding to gluten – found in wheat, barley and rye. The only remedy for this is a strict gluten-free diet for life. Around eight million Indians suffer from coeliac disease (All India Institute of Medical Sciences). Moreover, many also experience gluten intolerance, sensitivity or in general don’t enjoy gluten, and hence avoid gluten. If, like me, you find yourself not able to consume gluten, then you will undoubtedly have copious amounts of people asking you “What do you eat? Grass?!” In fact, there are a fair few options out there for gluten-free diets. And once you know all the options, nothing can stop you! Back in the day, growing up gluten-free was difficult – gluten-free loaves of bread tasted like cardboard. Now, however, the options are endless. So, gluten eaters, eat your heart out, because adhering to a gluten-free diet can be a lot of fun. My rubbish banter aside, here are some of the best gluten-free substitutes, which will make you forget you ever ate gluten: Polenta is an excellent substitute in baking. From yummy cornbread and polenta fries to lemon polenta cake, you have plenty of options with polenta. Besan is another excellent substitute for gluten-intolerant folk. Besan is perfect for making savoury pancakes. Simply combine besan, water, salt and spring onions, and you will have a great pancake mix. However, I don’t recommend using it in baked goods such as bread or cakes, as it can prove tricky. 3. Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour is a must-have! You can find gluten-free all-purpose flour from Amazon or your preferred retailer. This is one of the most versatile flours out there and can be easily used instead of bread flour and self-raising flour. The Finer Detail If the recipe calls for bread flour, simply mix half a teaspoon of xantham gum for every flour cup. If the recipe calls for self-raising flour, all you have to do is add two teaspoons of baking powder for every 150 grams of all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour can make yummy cakes or be converted into bread flour to make excellent pizza. With excellent gluten-free flour, most people will not generally even know the difference between the real stuff and the free-from foods. Please note all-purpose flour is not the same as Atta. So, if you can’t do without your parathas, gluten-free Atta is also widely available. 4. Rice & Rice Flour Rice too is naturally gluten-free and an excellent ingredient for anyone following a gluten-free diet. Rice flour can be used to make crepes and Dosas. Remember, gluten-free can be complicated in the beginning. Start with mastering one or two ingredients – the more you try, the better you will get and the easier you will find it. If you follow recipes from the internet, try and use gluten-free in your search and choose ones with more than four stars. Remember, all you knead is love, creativity and good ingredients when it comes to a good meal. So have fun! Gluten Tag from me!Written by Dr. Nimrita Singh Bassi 15th February 2021.

Vemaraju, Shruti (2012-02). Neurosensory Development in the Zebrafish Inner Ear. Doctoral Dissertation. The vertebrate inner ear is a complex structure responsible for hearing and balance. The inner ear houses sensory epithelia composed of mechanosensory hair cells and non-sensory support cells. Hair cells synapse with neurons of the VIIIth cranial ganglion, the statoacoustic ganglion (SAG), and transmit sensory information to the hindbrain. This dissertation focuses on the development and regulation of both sensory and neuronal cell populations. The sensory epithelium is established by the basic helixloop- helix transcription factor Atoh1. Misexpression of atoh1a in zebrafish results in induction of ectopic sensory epithelia albeit in limited regions of the inner ear. We show that sensory competence of the inner ear can be enhanced by co-activation of fgf8/3 or sox2, genes that normally act in concert with atoh1a. The developing sensory epithelia express several factors that regulate differentiation and maintenance of hair cells. We show that pax5 is differentially expressed in the anterior utricular macula (sensory epithelium). Knockdown of pax5 function results in utricular hair cell death and subsequent loss of vestibular (balance) but not auditory (hearing) defects. SAG neurons are formed normally in these embryos but show disorganized dendrites in the utricle following loss of hair cells. Lastly, we examine the development of SAG. SAG precursors (neuroblasts) are formed in the floor of the ear by another basic helix-loophelix transcription factor neurogenin1 (neurog1). We show that Fgf emanating from the utricular macula specifies neuroblasts, that later delaminate from the otic floor and undergo a phase of proliferation. Neuroblasts then differentiate into bipolar neurons that extend processes to hair cells and targets in the hindbrain. We show evidence that differentiating neurons express fgf5 and regulate further development of the SAG. As more differentiated neurons accumulate, increasing level of Fgf terminates the phase of neuroblast specification. Later on, elevated Fgf stabilizes the transit-amplifying phase and inhibits terminal differentiation. Thus, Fgf signaling regulates SAG development at various stages to ensure that proper number of neurons is generated.

I do not usually mark more than one operation for STARTUP, but in the CSO Staff FIM solution I am building I am using this idea right now. I started the scheduler, and then stopped it again while I waited for the first of 3 startup operations to complete ... thinking that the others wouldn't start. They did. I don't think this would be considered "expected behaviour" and I think the scheduler status should be checked before ANY new operation is started. Thoughts? Customer support service by UserEcho
