- The premier annual networking event for industry CEOs convenes at the Marina Bay Sands from 12th-15th June 2018
- The face of consumer goods is changing. To stay ahead of the technological revolution and the rapid expansion in data, companies must develop business models that are truly consumer-centric
- The CEOs of The Coca-Cola Company, Alibaba, Dairy Farm and Procter & Gamble will join leading politicians and key industry figures
PARIS, 30th April 2017 – The Consumer Goods Forum is delighted to announce a prestigious roster of speakers for the CGF’s upcoming 62nd Global Summit – to be hosted 12th-15th June 2018 in Singapore, and themed “Consumer Centricity in a Data-Driven World.”
The opening speaker, Minister for Trade and Industry for the Republic of Singapore, S. Iswaran, will be joined by industry leaders including Daniel Zhang, Alibaba CEO; James Quincey, The Coca-Cola Company CEO; Ian McLeod, Dairy Farm CEO; David Taylor, The Procter & Gamble CEO; and Guy Ryder, Director General, International Labour Organization. The distinguished list of speakers also includes other political, government and media leaders including Madeleine Albright, the 64th US Secretary of State.
More than 1,000 prominent delegates, from over 400 leading consumer goods companies will engage with this year’s theme through sessions focused on stories such as:
- Investing in the age of disruption;
- Evolving retail for the smart consumer;
- The future of work: people & technology;
- Positive change in action: driving a circular economy;
- New Retail: creating new value for consumers;
- Global millennials: the data-driven facts;
- Executing a digital and omni-channel growth strategy; and
- Transforming customer experiences through big data.
The CGF Global Summit will highlight that consumer centricity is not just about making consumers like businesses. Rather, it’s about ensuring that the right internal and consumer-facing strategies are in place, encouraging a shift away from traditional business-driven strategies.
The Asian Landscape
Asia is leading the way in smart cities; Singapore in particular represents one of the most mature and diverse retail landscapes in the world. It’s renowned for its investments in technologies like the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and robotics – and therefore, Singaporean consumers have very high expectations from brands. They expect an exceptional standard of customer service and a seamless omni-channel retailing experience. This makes Singapore a fascinating place to share ideas and knowledge on the consumer goods and retail industry.
The I-Zone is widely recognised as the place to be to learn more about the latest developments and retail trends. In 2018, however, the CGF is bringing more innovative experiences to the 1,000 delegates in attendance. Already the heart of networking breaks, lunches and business discussions at this key, global networking event, delegates will now also be able to experience more immersive demonstrations of brand excellence. This will include demonstrations from companies including Ajinomoto, Ascential, Barilla, Brand Loyalty, DIGI, ITO EN, EY, John Brown Media, Puratos, Rakuten and TCC.
The Presentation Theatre will also add even more to the Global Summit experience. This year, the CGF is gathering some of the brightest minds and the best ideas in the networking breaks to further demonstrate excellence in action, and how companies around the world are driving positive change, and building better lives through better business. There will be a series of 15-20 minute I-Talks from those at the forefront of change.
Peter Freedman, Managing Director, The Consumer Goods Forum, commented: “The Global Summit is often described as the most important leadership event on the consumer goods industry’s calendar. The key focus of this year’s conference will be on how to ensure that we continue to keep consumers at the centre of the digital transformation in our industry. In that context we will also be discussing how we can accelerate our work on global positive change, which Millennials and younger consumers are so concerned to see. We are delighted to be holding the event in Singapore, one of the world’s leading smart cities, with some of the most digitally sophisticated consumers, and geographically close to so many Asian digital innovations. I am very much looking forward to welcoming our members there in a couple of months’ time.”
The Global Summit brings delegates an unparalleled opportunity to network with CEOs from some of the world’s most successful companies, and gain key insights into the challenges faced by retailers, manufacturers and their service providers in the consumer goods industry. More: www.tcgfsummit.com.

Key Takeaways: A real departure from Carolina Herrera’s typical sweetly light collections. Dresses and separates maintained the designer’s signature elegance, but overlaid a sense of darkness and mystery. Key trends included: high-waisted silhouettes, geometric patterns, bows, open knit fabric, plaid fabric, ruffles, and fur.
Color Palette: Heavy on dark colors–blacks and greys. Brooding browns and regal lilacs were lightened with shades of white, splashes of red, and metallic silver. Both fur and geometric patterns–most notably plaid and dots–featured prominently.
Silhouettes: Generally high-waisted, with an emphasis on the natural waistline. Garment volume felt measured and made to flatter the body. Sleek dresses were complemented by swingy frocks, paired with patterned leggings. High-waisted skirts and trousers were paired with open knit tops, sweaterjackets, and semi-voluminous jackets.
Accessories Report: Black elbow-length gloves and patterned tights emphasized the dark, yet ladylike feel of the collection. Wide belts drew emphasis to the waistline. Bug-eyed sunglasses completed the chicly mysterious looks.
What’s Wearable: Carolina Herrera knows how to flatter a woman’s body–try the sleek dresses, the subtly voluminous skirts, the swingy oversized jackets, and the high-waisted trousers. The sleeved dresses are perfect for women with thick upper arms.
What’s Not Wearable: Fur played a large part in the collection–both as jackets and as cuffs, but we prefer to leave fur on our animal friends. Horizontal "striping" through fabric detailing visually widens the body–beware.

WWE Magazine Officially Shuts Down
As of today, the WWE magazine has officially shut down production, after 31 years of circulation. The very first edition of “WWF Victory Magazine” was released in late 1983. The last edition is set to go out on September 21st. The official magazine Twitter account sent out the following messages, as well as many “thank you” notes to tons of people, including Edge, Brooklyn Brawler, AJ Lee and former WWE Diva Kaitlyn, Beth Phoenix, all three members of The Shield and more.
KILLAM: While I haven’t actually picked up a copy of the WWE Magazine in years – the last one I remember buying at the check-out line was probably 8 years ago – it’s hard to imagine a world without its presence, as it’s literally been running the entire time I’ve been alive. I have a few old copies from the Vince Russo years, and a few from the Monday Night Wars still sitting in boxes somewhere. Rest in Peace WWE Magazine!

Karen Weinberg, owner of 3-Corner Field Farm, doesn’t often take the easy route. She got a PhD in Industrial Organizational Psychology (“a far cry from working with sheep,” as she puts it) so she and her husband, Paul Borghard, could afford the 100-acre farm in Shushan, N.Y. Though it was a 3½-hour commute from her New York City apartment, Weinberg traveled there on each weekend to tend to the farm as a hobby.
Things changed 19 years ago, when Borghard accepted a job transfer that landed the family in France.
“Most farms in the New York region are on the industrial level, with the cows kept inside and milked several times a day,” Weinberg said. “When I saw French farms producing high quality products, I thought, when we come back, that’s what I want to do.”
So that’s what Weinberg and Borghard did, starting with a few sheep that they milked by hand, and then put in an infrastructure for milking. Weinberg began tasting different cheeses and took a couple of cheesemaking courses. First, Weinberg made yogurt, and then added dairy products as she learned to make them, like chevre and Camembert, and eventually raw-milk aged cheeses after she built an aging cellar.
“I only make what I eat and like,” Weinberg said. “Not having an academic background in cheesemaking, I wouldn’t be a good judge of cheese just by looking at attributes. I have to eat it myself.”
Weinberg doesn’t take the easy route when it comes to making decisions for the farm, either. 3-Corner Field only sells their products directly to clients like restaurants and farmer’s markets – though the process may not bring as much income, Weinberg feels as though selling to distributors would sacrifice the quality of the product. And while most dairies wean lambs away from their mothers for their milk, Weinberg tried five different systems of weaning before deciding on what she believed was best for her animals: raising the lambs with their mothers for the first five weeks of their lives, only weaning them when they’re physiologically able to digest grass.
“We’re missing a lot of the milk,” Weinberg said, “but the lambs get a good start.”
3-Corner Field Farm uses a pasture-based system, moving the sheep to a new pasture every day so they have the freshest, healthiest, (and most importantly, unfertilized) grass to munch on. Sheep are kept outside year-round, and have little hollows on the property for protection from extreme weather. “If we kept them all in a big barn, it’d be a lot less labor intensive,” Weinberg said. “But it’s not how those animals were designed to live; they were designed to put their heads down and eat until they’re full, and then lay down and feel safe.”
Besides Weinberg, two people work part-time every day to put up the pasture fencing and bring water for the animals. Weinberg’s two daughters work on the farm during the summer months, between semesters of school.
3-Corner Field Farm holds an open house every year for customers to see the operation by taking a tour. “We can proudly show how our animals are,” Weinberg said. “I feel like I don’t have to hide away what we do.”

I recently had the honor of presenting at the VPX Sports Science Summit along with Dr.Jose Antonio, Dr.Darryn Willoughby, Billy Beck and Dr.Lonnie Lowery. A big thanks goes out to Jack Owoc, CEO/Owner of VPX/Redline and his staff for showing us such incredible hospitality.
After the VPX Science Summit, we all went out for sushi and Dr.Lonnie Lowery and I geeked out on shop talk. Once of the things we talked about was how many people in the strength & conditioning world feel that the more weight some one can lift (in the 3 big lifts), the more badass they are.
I have to say my standards for what makes me consider someone to be an athletic badass are very different! In this post, I’m going to tell you why…
Working with Fighters (and training like one myself) Taught Me the TRUE Meaning of “A Badass!”
Around 2001-2002 is when I connected with Renzo Gracie Black Belt, John Rallo, and began training no-gi BJJ (I was an ex-wrestler so I hated that gi stuff). I also worked with John as his S&C coach during his pro MMA days. That was before most of you ever saw a Tap Out shirt 🙂
Anyway, since that time, the sport of MMA has exploded into the mainstream – John has opened three schools in the Baltimore MD area under his Ground Control MMA brand. And, John has also become a fight promoter – His event, Shogun Fights is the premiere MMA fight event in the B-more area. The Next Shogun Fights is coming up on April 14, 2012 at the 1st Mariner Arena.
As the sport of MMA exploded and John’s Team Ground Control MMA grew immensely, so did my involvement and experience with training combat athletes. In the last 10+yrs, I’ve had the honor of working with pro and amateur boxers, Muay Thai and MMA fighters, along with plenty of grapplers (judo, wrestling, BJJ) from beginners to the olympic ranks. From the UFC to Elite-XC, to HBO Boxing, to the World Muay Thai Championships – I’ve held pads for, sparred with, and done workout programs for the athletes involved.
Now, these athletes are some of THE Baddest people on the planet. Funny thing is, NONE of them were weight-room studs. That is, except for John Rallo, but he’s a white-gorilla genetic freak who’s triceps are so big and puffy you’d think he injects them with Botox. Ha… Love ya John 🙂
Anyway… anyone who’s ever competed in either football or a fighting sport can probably tell you that they’ve had their ass handed to them by someone who they could out perform in the weightroom. Or, that they themselves kicked someone’s ass who could outperform them in the gym. That’s precisely why I’m reluctant to label some one as a “badass” simply because they can pick up and put down heavy stuff.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m very impressed with people who have the insane strength, focus and dedication to be able to lift huge weights. And, I absolutely believe strength is important for health & performance. But, I just don’t think having strength alone makes you athletic badass. In fact, I know it doesn’t from my experience working with real badasses!
You Don’t Have to be a Fighter to be an Athletic Badass
I’m not trying to tell you that you HAVE to be an elite fighter for me to consider you a badass. That’s just not realistic. And, if you DO possess superior fighting skills, I’ll simply label you a “badass.” But, what I’m talking about here is about being an “athletic badass.”
An athletic badass (to me) is someone who posses certain athletic abilities (which I’ve described below) that make you a person of whom other folks may not want to mess with. AND, an athletic badass is also some one you want playing on your team in any athletic event because they posses good overall athletic ability.
The 8 Abilities of an Athletic Badass
I’ve trained plenty of non-combat sports athletes and exercise enthusiasts of whom I would not want to mess with, and would want on my team because they all possessed these 7 athletic abilities:
1. You must be able to throw a decent Punch!
As I said earlier, you don’t need to be a fighter for me to consider you an athletic badass. But, you certainly do need to at least have the ability to throw a decent punch!
At my local gym, I do my heavy bag rounds about 2-4x per week. And, I’m always disappointed at the amount of guys who come into the boxing room and look like they’re having a seizure while attempting to “punch” the heavy bag. They’re hitting the bag, but they sure as heck aren’t “punching” it 🙂
Learning how to punch not only makes you more of a badass, but it also improves your athletic ability:
– Better rotary power
– Better ability to summate force from the ground up
– Improved body awareness and coordination
– Better accuracy!
Not to mention you become more aware of your body stances, foot placement for more effective movement and power.
Also, don’t just learn to throw one John Wayne haymaker! Learn how to throw a jab, cross, hook and uppercut. And, learn a few combos!
2. You must be able to throw a decent kick!
Having the ability to kick not only makes you more well-rounded in a combat situation. It also shows that you’ve got great mobility and hip/torso power, along with awesome balance. Plus, all of the athletic benefits I listed about punching can also be said for kicking. So, learn them both and you’ll have the double whammy!
You don’t need to be able throw Van Damme (movie) style, jump spin kicks to the head. Just learn how to throw a good solid kick to the thighs and to the body!
3. You must have taken Grappling lessons for at least 1yr!
Learning to wrestle/ grapple (Judo, BJJ) not only makes you a more dangerous person. It also teaches you:
– How to change you level (i.e. raise and lower your center of mass)
– How to relax and use the other persons efforts against them
– How to position your body to maximize your efforts while minimizing your opponents
– To have great dynamic balance and rock solid stability
– Where to grab someone for optimal control and what body positions to avoid getting caught in.
Anyone I’ve ever trained who had a wrestling or Judo background (even older adults) always picked up on other sports quicker than everyone else. So, some grappling skills are absolutely critical for me to consider you an athletic badass!
4. You must be able to climb a rope!
This is a basic gym class exercise. And, if you can’t do it, I get concerned that you’re either too fat, have too much muscle and/or lack relative grip, upper-body and core strength.
Along with improved grip, core and upper-body strength – Rope climbing builds body tension (i.e. stiffness) and can improve you body awareness because every time you reach your hand for the next grab, you must also shift your body in rhythm along with it. Otherwise, you’ll get tired much faster or simply not be able to climb up at all.
5. You must be able to do at least 2, one arm push ups!
I’ve talked extensively about one arm push ups and why I believe they’re the king of upper-body pushing exercises. So, I won’t repeat what I’ve already said in this blog post and in this T-nation article.
I will say that I’ve been around many people who could bench press a house and couldn’t get close to doing a single one arm push up. But, all the good sports athletes I’ve ever worked with could nail at least 1-3 reps within the first week after some basic training.
6. You can complete a 300yd shuttle in under 65 seconds!
I’m actually being a bit easy on this one because good athletes can complete repeated 300 yard shuttles in under 60 seconds.Here, I’m only asking for 1 round!
The specific 300 yard shuttle I’m talking about here involves two cones (or water bottles) placed 25 yards (75 feet) apart. You sprint back and forth between the cones (touching a cone each time) for a total of 6 round trips (6-laps).
This shows me that you have legs that are fast, powerful, agile and don’t quit after a few seconds. Plus, you’ve got to have some sort of conditioning for me to consider you an athlete. Shuttles show that to me as well.
In other words, If you run like a fat cop, or you’re just all muscle and no hustle – It’ll show up here! And, If you run like a fat cop, or have no hustle behind your muscle, I don’t want you on my team!
7. You can do a Cartwheel!
Every decent athlete I’ve been around could at least do a decent looking cartwheel, even without formal training. Those who could not do one, or did one that looked more like they were falling over, always had less overall body awareness, balance, agility and coordination than those who could.
Plus, people who posses basic tumbling ability are also tough to wrestle and takedown because they’re just so good at maintaing their balance and body positioning. So, when you add that kind of ability along with the ability the punch, kick and grapple, in addition to the animal strength gained from one arm push ups and rope climbs – You’re 100% an athletic badass in my book!
8. You can Jump Rope for at least 3min?
Like everything else I’ve listed above, Jumping rope is a skill in and of itself. But, also just like all the other activities I’ve listed above – It’s not just about doing the thing, it’s also about the physical abilities you gain from learning how to do the thing.
Put simply, jumping rope is about efficiency and elasticity! If you remain stiff, you’ll gas out fast! If you try to use your muscles instead of your elastic tissue reflexes, you’ll also get tired fast.
As much as S&C coaches like to talk about force production, sports are also about economy of effort! If every athlete exploded into ever action they performed, they be gassed out in minutes and sporting events would never last hours like they do.
How do you think boxers last 12+ rounds? They become good at exploding when they need to. And, they’ve become really good at using their elasticity to transfer force with minal effort from their muscles.
Learning how to jump rope teaches you to use your elasticity and continually move athletically with minimal effort. It goes back to what we all say when we witness a great feat of athletic ability – We say “he or she made that look effortless.” That’s why I’ve included jump rope ability on this list because that skill helps you express your body effortlessly!
Everything I’ve included on this list can be practiced, cultivated and improved upon. So, if you want to be an athletic badass – I’ve given you the 8 steps, you’ve just gotta put the work in!
Being strong is awesome! But, standing in one place and lifting big weights doesn’t make you an athletic badass. But, If you also add crazy strength (from lifting) on top of these 8 athletic abilities – I’d say you’re beyond an athletic badass! I’d put you at superhero status!

I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad goodby, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. I suddenly remembered this time, in around October, that I and Robert Tichener and Paul Campbell were chucking a football around, in front of the academic building. It was just before dinner and it was getting pretty dark out, but we kept chucking the ball around anyway. Zambesi, stuck his head out of this window in the academic building and told us to go back to the dorm and get ready for dinner. and came out here for all these goddam checkups and stuff. Anyway, as soon as I got my breath back I ran across Route 204. I don't even know what I was running for--I guess I just felt like it. It kept getting darker and darker, and we could hardly see the ball any more, but we didn't want to stop doing what we were doing. If I get a chance to remember that kind of stuff, I can get a good-by when I need one--at least, most of the time I can. I ran all the way to the main gate, and then I waited a second till I got my breath. I'm quite a heavy smoker, for one thing--that is, I used to be. Another thing, I grew six and a half inches last year. After I got across the road, I felt like I was sort of disappearing. "C'mon, c'mon," I said right out loud, almost, "somebody open the door." Finally old Mrs.
You could see the whole field from there, and you could see the two teams bashing each other all over the place. He had the grippe, and I figured I probably wouldn't see him again till Christmas vacation started. They gave me frequent warning to start applying myself--especially around midterms, when my parents came up for a conference with old Thurmer--but I didn't do it. The more expensive a school is, the more crooks it has--I'm not kidding. He wrote me this note saying he wanted to see me before I went home. Anyway, I kept standing next to that crazy cannon, looking down at the game and freezing my ass off. What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. All of a sudden I thought of something that helped make me know I was getting the hell out. He just kept talking about Life being a game and all. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules." "Yes, sir. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it?

Please read this first:
I am not saying I'm the autority on blogging because I have only been doing it for a few weeks. However I have written in public forums and have been exposed to every kinds of reaction to my writing known to man. People questioning wether I wrote something is probablly the worst feedback someone could get. So I take my writing, wether it be an article, a letter or even a quick e-mail very seriously. This is coming from someone who puts a greater value on the written word over the spoke one! It's easier to deny something you say, you can write it off as an emotional reaction. When you write something you can't take it back, that's it! People try to do it all the time, I have tried a few times. It never works because folks on the recieving end assume that if you put in the effort to sit down and compose a note, you mean ever word. Atleast I do, sometimes I throw a few things in for "effect' but usually I write from the heart but I also let my mind filter stuff out. You can be passionate about something without having it control your emotions. I used to be guilty of that, but you don't see any of the writing on the Internet, yeah like you would look for it anyway. Back when blogging first started "real reporters" scoffed at the concept. Now they are starting to be seen as competition. Here are some "rules" I made up (they are more like guidelines but it doesn't have the same ring):
1. Write like people read it. Yeah stupid but true. Ok it's yor blog but make people want to read it, show your opinion, but don't go overboard. While it's true you want to get your point across, you need to give something more juicy so they'll read moree
2. Respect the people who you write about. This is hard especially when it involves anything political, but even if I disagree with someone, I don't want to see them hit while they are down. People confuse hating a person and disagree with them. It seems the line that divides critizism and attacking is getting more blurred. This is something nobody likes, but everybody does it anyway. Folks need to get a clue attack the other side only gets you so far than people stop listening, AHEM Mr. Dean (had to write it)
3. Expect negative feedback even when you say something 'everyone SHOULD agree on' there is always some person waiting in the wings with rotten tomatos. Some of my best letters are crtizing other writers, of course the seldomly get published.
4. Expirence sometimes helps. I can tell the bloggers who have been p ublished on paper and the ones who just decided one day to hop on the 'Net and fire away. Although getting printed might defeat your entire purpose of blogging, usually after getting published changes a writer's prospective. I started out writing a Journal, then progressed into articles and now have started blogging. Each a different medium, each has its good and bad points. All formats are good practice! When I started this blog I said to myself, oh no I'm back to the Journal. Now I'm starting to see the difference.

I am a full professor in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London. Currently with Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR).
I was the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games, and also co-founded the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games, first held at the University of Essex in 2005. I am the Vice President for Education of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society; here is my vision statement.
I was educated at Bedwas High School, University of Kent (BSc in Computer Systems Engineering) and University of Southampton (PhD in Electronics and Computer Science). Between BSc and PhD I worked for GEC Avionics, in a software test group for their world leading Head-Up Displays, then in the flight automation research lab research lab hacking LISP. My PhD (1991) was on Connectionist Architectures for Syntactic Pattern Recognition, one of the early PhDs on Deep Neural Networks, under the excellent supervision of Professor Bob Damper.
On completing my PhD I was post-doctoral research fellow at Southampton for one year and was then appointed as a Lecturer in Electronic Systems Engineering at Essex.
My early research was mostly focused on Pattern Recognition, and I have pioneered novel variations of N-Tuple classifiers (Scanning, Continuous and Convolutional), the best classifier that no-one has ever heard of! Over the last decade or two my research has gravitated toward Game AI: games provide an ideal arena for AI research, and also make an excellent application area. See publications for details.

Lunch with Larry
Catching up with the chair of the Peter Stark Program
By Ryan Gilmour
Tucked away on the third floor of the George Lucas Building, a small, four-office suite has been launching the careers of some of SCA’s most successful and well-known graduates. From Robert Greenblatt ’87, President of NBC, to Twilight writer Melissa Rosenberg ’90, to Producer Ed Saxon ’84, who won an Oscar for Silence of the Lambs to Paul Gerard ’99, Creative Director of DisneyToon Studios—Stark success stories are as diverse as the entertainment industry itself.
To understand how the Stark Program is evolving, In Motion sat down with Larry Turman, Chair of the Peter Stark Producing Program, whose fifty-year career includes films such as The Graduate, American History X and Short Circuit. Turman also wrote one of the benchmark books on the art of creative producing “So You Want to be a Producer.” Our conversation ranged from the philosophy and practices of the Stark program, to the future of the entertainment industry and the success of the musical The Book of Mormon (which he loves), with Turman articulating his views with his characteristic intensity and charm. It was easy to see why he is such a legendary producer.
Right away, Turman wanted to make it clear that the Stark program is not an entertainment industry MBA. He said the program got a reputation for being business-focused because of its founder Art Murphy, who was a mathematician by training and, as the lead film critic for Variety, pioneered the practice of reporting on grosses. Murphy recruited producer Ray Stark, who endowed the division in honor of his son Peter. Turman said Murphy approached the Stark curriculum as training for the entertainment business. “He was one of those visionaries who brought a brand new perspective to the business,” he said. “He was one of the first people to articulate the business with statistics— a great business mind.”
When Turman joined Stark in 1991, he changed the program to approach producing as a creative position, broadening its spectrum to include courses that focused on the creative challenges of making movies. “The main difference from my tenure has been philosophical,” said Turman. “My primary philosophy is to train creative and entrepreneurial producers.”
Essentially, Turman believes that today’s producers have to be knowledgeable about the whole process, because they are frequently the people who are moving everyone forward. “Producing, I believe is a noble profession,” he stressed. “Most of the movies that get made only get made because a producer kept pushing and pushing and pushing and never gave up. Stark business courses are very focused on how the theories are actually being employed in the business, and are taught by people who are currently working on those deals. Turman explained it this way: “I preach art but I teach commerce. There are hundreds of film schools in America. All of them will teach you how to make a movie. I teach how to get a movie made.”
Turman’s philosophy is in line with the evolution in the industry as increasingly producers are seen both as the creative forces behind projects, as well as among the main benefactors of their success, so they have input both creatively and commercially. Ironically, many of Art Murphy’s former students helped re-shape the industry in this new mold. Consider that people like John Wells ’82 (ER, Shameless), Stacey Sher ’85 (Erin Brokovich, Django Unchained), Ed Saxon ’84 (The Silence of the Lambs) and Neal Moritz ’85 (Fast and Furious franchise), are all seen as creative collaborators.
Turman also included television, and eventually interactive media to a curriculum that was previously all about film. He said television offered “more job opportunities and more opportunity to do serious content.” And the program’s students are increasingly as likely to be working on web animation projects or a multi-player video game. They also increasingly become multi-genre practitioners, like writer John August ’94 who wrote both the film and Broadway musical scripts of Big Fish, and was nominated for a Grammy for writing the lyrics of “Wonka’s Welcome Song” from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—one of several of director Tim Burton’s films that he has scripted.
The Peter Stark Producing Program is a two-year graduate program that admits twenty-five students a year. Students take courses in writing, marketing, budgeting and all other aspects of the entertainment industry. In the second year, all Stark classes are in the evening so that students can either work jobs in the industry or, if they are more interested in independent producing, can focus on their creative work.
And what does Larry look for in a Stark student? “It’s ineffable. You know when you see it. There’s no way that someone can prepare other than his or her life. What I look for is entrepreneurial spirit, someone who is smart. Some people have one or the other. I have turned down straight A students from Harvard and taken a B student from Southwest Texas State who, on his application said in his junior year he started a car wash business on fraternity row and had five kids working for him.”
As lunch wound down, I asked Larry for some parting wisdom for the next generation of entertainment industry luminaries, “I’ve learned how much I don’t know,” was his reply. “I’m still looking for wisdom myself. Wise decisions come from making several poor decisions.” But then he offered this: “Here’s my wisdom: Follow your bliss. As they’ve said for years in the entertainment business, if someone can talk you out of it, you don’t belong in it.”
Food for thought.

US Industries Slam Trump Tariffs
United States industries that consume steel and aluminum harshly criticized President Donald Trump’s decision yesterday to impose new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
“The administration’s short-sighted decision to implement new tariffs is meant to fulfill a campaign promise rather than support robust, pro-growth trade policy,” said Thom Dammrich, President of the National Marine Manufacturers Association. “This action will hurt countless manufacturers and uniquely American industries that support 650,000 American jobs and $37 billion in sales each year. Ninety-five percent of all boats sold in America are made in America.”
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), which represents manufacturers of heating, air conditioning, commercial refrigeration, and water heating products and equipment, expressed disappointment over Trump’s proclamations. AHRI’s 320 member companies rely on economical supplies of steel and aluminum to make their products and equipment, noted AHRI CEO Stephen Yurek.
“As major users of steel and aluminum, we have been proactive in explaining to the administration that the HVACR and water heating industry would be negatively impacted by an increase in tariffs, as would the consumers that rely on the products we manufacture,” said Yurek.
While Yurek was heartened that Trump included a temporary exemption for supplies from Canada and Mexico, “we believe this step to be injurious, rather than helpful, to our efforts to increase American manufacturing and create jobs,” he added.
“We continue to oppose the steep tariffs on steel and aluminum,” said Roy Hardy, President of the Precision Metalforming Association. “These tariffs will damage downstream US steel and aluminum consuming companies, as the US will become an island of high steel prices that will result in our customers simply sourcing our products from our overseas competitors and importing them into the United States tariff-free. We continue to encourage the President to consider the entire manufacturing sector – both upstream and downstream companies.”
US manufacturers who use steel employ more than 6.5 million Americans, Hardy noted, while 140,000 are employed by the domestic steel industry. “These tariffs will threaten thousands of jobs across the United States,” he added, “similar to our experience in 2002 when the US imposed steel tariffs that resulted in the loss of 200,000 American manufacturing jobs. Canada and Mexico were exempted from those tariffs as well.
Trump’s Section 232 tariffs will cost 146,000 jobs in the US manufacturing sector short term, Hardy claimed. Hardy plans “to work to end these tariffs as soon as possible.”

Kangaroos to wave hoo-roo for 2012 tournament
NEW Zealand and England are considering playing a Four Nations tournament without the Kangaroos in the lead-up to the 2013 World Cup.
While the Kangaroos will again be involved in next year's tournament, which will be staged in Britain and include Wales, there is no international schedule for the end of the 2012 season as Australian officials want to give the players a summer off after three consecutive Four Nations since the last World Cup in 2008.
But their New Zealand and England counterparts believe there is sufficient interest in the concept to warrant playing without the Kangaroos, and could invite Wales and France to make up the numbers.
Despite failing to sell out Suncorp Stadium for last night's final between Australia and the Kiwis, officials consider this year's tournament to be a success - due largely to the crowds for the three matches played in New Zealand.
With the Kiwis having won the 2008 World Cup, league in New Zealand is booming and last Saturday night's ''dead rubber'' against Australia attracted a crowd of 44,432, while 20,668 fans turned up for the match against England in Wellington and 7500 fans crammed into Rotorua International Stadium for the game against Papua New Guinea.
In fact, the attendance figure of 72,600 for the three matches in New Zealand was greater than the number of spectators who watched the three games in Australia, with the 36,299 crowd at Suncorp Stadium last night taking the total to 66,501.
However, television ratings in Australia have been strong, with the Australia-England match in Melbourne being the most watched program in Sydney with an average viewing audience of 402,000 and second in Brisbane with 276,000 viewers.
The Kangaroos-Kiwis clash also rated well, with 354,000 viewers in Sydney last Saturday night and 244,000 in Brisbane, while Australia's match against Papua New Guinea was watched by an audience of 272,000 in Sydney and 161,000 in Brisbane.
But interest could have been much higher if the draw for the tournament was done differently so that last Saturday night's match was not merely a dress rehearsal for what was a gripping final in Brisbane last night.
Rather than face the might of New Zealand and Australia in its first two matches, England would have been much better served by opening its campaign against Papua New Guinea.
A tournament opener between Australia and New Zealand would have also ensured the loser had to win its remaining two games, while both matches last weekend would have had a bearing on which teams qualified for the final.
After having its preparations hampered by the political infighting that led to coach Adrian Lam resigning on the eve of the tournament, Papua New Guinea was a major disappointment and there is now talk about a combined Pacific Nations team taking its place the next time the tournament is staged in the southern hemisphere.
A newly formed Asia-Pacific Rugby League Federation has been established, with its headquarters in Auckland, and each of the seven full-member nations will get a seat on its board.
The main focus of the federation will be development in the Pacific Islands and with the Kiwis now fielding arguably their strongest team, officials want to improve the standard of countries such as Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

Winter Term 2017 Class Schedule
Kick off is Sunday, January 8th and the following classes will be offered:
Ecclesiastes and Lamentations: Facing the Tough Stuff
Instructor: Carmen Imes
Sundays at 9am in C5-6
The books of Lamentations and Ecclesiastes are two of the more uncomfortable Old Testament books for us to read. As its name suggests, Lamentations wallows in grief in the aftermath of the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem. Where is God when things fall apart? Ecclesiastes takes a rather cynical look at the fleetingness of life and asks ‘What’s the point?’ So why study these books together? Both books create space for our own tough questions. Through our wrestling with these difficult texts, we’ll discover the value of lament and the gift of joy. I’d love to have you join us!
The History of Revival (continued)
Instructor: Dr. Allen Solheim
Sundays at 10:45am in C5-6
Since the founding of our country, there has been an unusual moving of God’s Spirit about every 40 years [each generation] that we call revival. Seeing how God has moved in these unique and defined ways helps us understand how God works with us as individuals and a nation. This class will look at these God movements in our country and enable us to see what is needed to help usher in a possible future revival in America.
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity
Instructors: Wayne Schock and Bruce Benson
Sundays at 10:45am in FC1
In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi describes his dramatic journey from Islam to Christianity, complete with friendships, investigations, and supernatural dreams along the way. Providing an intimate window into a loving Muslim home, Qureshi shares how he developed a passion for Islam before discovering, almost against his will, evidence that Jesus rose from the dead and claimed to be God. Unable to deny the arguments but not wanting to deny his family, Qureshi’s inner turmoil will challenge Christians and Muslims alike. Come read the book with us and join the discussion to help you better understand how Muslims think and how to develop meaningful friendships with them. Sign-up to order the book in class on Jan. 8, or with the church office (we will get a group discount). High School and Young Adults welcome!

Pavements - Iowa Vacuum Joint Seal Tester (IA-VAC)
Target of Investigation
The Iowa vacuum joint seal tester (IA-VAC) is employed to test joint seals in concrete pavement for failure.
Infiltration of surface water can contribute to the pumping of fines and subgrade or subbase softening or erosion. These issues can result in loss of structural support, pavement settlement, and faulting.(1–3) Joint sealants are used to minimize infiltration of surface water and incompressible materials into a joint system.(4,5) Joint sealants can also decrease the potential for dowel corrosion by reducing the penetration of deicing chemicals.(6) Testing the effectiveness of sealants with the IA-VAC can help diagnose sealant failures so measures can be taken to stop development of joint problems.
The IA-VAC has a chamber that is 121.9 cm (48 inches) long by 15.2 cm (6 inches) wide. It is filled with soap and water and uses a vacuum pump to apply a vacuum pressure of less than 69 kPa (10 psi) to a joint seal that has been sprayed with a soap–water solution (figure 1). Any unsealed area along the joint will produce soap bubbles after the vacuum pressure is applied (figure 2).(7) The leakage location is recorded after testing (figure 3).
The following test procedure has been proposed by Purvis:(8)
- Select the test location
- Wet the area of road to be covered by the test chamber with soap and water (double‑spray the sealed joint with soap and water).
- Place a short piece of impermeable foam under each end of the test chamber (if the joint seal is more than 3 mm (0.125 inches) lower than the road surface in the joint).
- Place the test chamber over the joint; compress the chamber onto the road surface by having the operator stand on it until a vacuum indication is seen.
- Record the test location, vacuum reading, and the number and causes of leaks.
- Close the vacuum line valve and then release the vacuum valve.
- Repeat this process at each test location.
No data processing is needed.
Data are usually presented in a tabular form. By analyzing the results from the IA-VAC tests, information on the number and types of leaks can be obtained.(9)
Advantages of the IA-VAC include the following:
- Testing equipment is easy to use.
- Single testing (without double checking) is fast.
- Cost is low.
Limitations of the IA-VAC include the following:
- Lane closure and traffic control may be needed.
- Types of joint sealant failure (adhesive or cohesive) cannot be differentiated.
- Further analysis of causes of sealant failures requires professional experts.

Set a few months after the events of the second season of Daredevil, and a month after the events of Iron Fist, the vigilantes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team up in New York City to fight a common enemy: The Hand.
When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city.
Following the tragic end of her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.
In 1946, Peggy Carter is relegated to secretarial duties in the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR). When Howard Stark is accused of treason, he secretly recruits Peggy to clear his name with the help of his butler, Edwin Jarvis.
Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead when his yacht is lost at sea. He returns five years later a changed man, determined to clean up the city as a hooded vigilante armed with a bow.
"Marvel's The Defenders" follows Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal - to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together.
The opening credits are a sequence of cityscapes of New York, with colored silhouettes of the Defenders (Daredevil in red, Jessica Jones in blue/purple, Luke Cage in yellow/orange and Iron Fist in green), following themes from previous shows. See more »
Enjoy it for what it is: Good entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was engaging, suspenseful and fun. The music, setting, acting, cinematography, etc was all pretty solid. It's a superhero show, folks...no one should expect something that rises to the level of 'high art.There are good parts in this series for sure. But this show did not fulfill its potential. The story is generic and much simpler than Daredevil .The actors are mostly good, but their characters don't really evolve. They just go through the action like they are doing the dishes.
just i think it was some problems in this series like:
1/ What goes wrong always end wrong. The first and biggest wrong foot step was Finn Jones in the shoes of Danny Rand, it can't be, it just can't, he wasn't up to it. That said, along with the bad writing that made the show in the bottom of the four shows "Dare/Jessica/Luke", we had the first flaw in The Defenders.
2/ Daredevil is no longer our Daredevil, the one we knew in his own fabulous show was darker, wiser, calmer and smarter than this copy. In The Defenders we saw another Daredevil, with a bad nerve and more good looking than Danny, just that and nothing more.
Overall it's definitely still watchable , and a good TV superheros series .

Sisters Run Lemonade Stand In West Jordan In Honor Of Their Older Sister
Jun 12, 2021, 4:39 PM | Updated: 7:57 pm
WEST JORDAN, Utah — Some young sisters in West Jordan set up a lemonade stand for people who stopped by, but they weren’t keeping any profits. Their money was going to a cause close to their hearts — donor awareness education.
Days like Saturday are what summers are all about.
“Yeah, it’s hot,” said one woman with a laugh while waiting in line. “We’ll come back for refills.”
The Madsen sisters, 9-year-old Myleigh and 7-year-old Makayla, said they couldn’t wait to open their lemonade stand Saturday morning.
They knew people would want it.
“Yeah, when we started making it, we tried it,” said Myleigh with a laugh.
You can’t blame them for trying their product — it’s good lemonade. However, why they were selling it is even better.
It’s hot today! If you want lemonade, stop by 1394 W. Countrywood Ln in #WestJordan. Myleigh and Makayla Madsen have a stand in honor of their sister, Makenzie, who passed away last summer waiting for a heart donor. Money raised goes to donor awareness education. @KSL5TV at 5. pic.twitter.com/qv9EpPhgCb
— Alex Cabrero (@KSL_AlexCabrero) June 12, 2021
“It’s super important to us,” said Myleigh. “Because she passed away.”
Their older sister, Makenzie, had a stand in that same spot for years selling snow cones.
While waiting for a heart donor last year, though, Makenzie passed away. She was only 14 years old.
“She did it every year, every summer,” said Monica Madsen, who is the girls’ mother. “Her last birthday she was with us, she got a brand-new snow cone maker that she was never able to use.”
So, her younger sisters decided to carry on the tradition — not with snow cones, but with lemonade.
“Words can’t describe how proud I am of these girls and their willingness to do this,” said their father, Tyler Madsen. “Then to donate all of the money to DonorConnect is just amazing.”
That’s right. Every single penny will go to DonorConnect, a group that educates people about the importance of organ donation.
“Organ donation is desperately needed, and if you are in that situation, you should say yes,” said Monica Madsen.
Makenzie’s sisters certainly miss her.
“A lot,” said Myleigh.
But Makenzie wasn’t far from them on Saturday. The sisters had a smiling picture of her on their lemonade stand.
They may be young, but they understand what they’re doing just might save someone else’s big sister.
“Give kids and people a second chance at life. It’s amazing,” said their father.

There continues to be a deep resonance between Henri Nouwen and the North American psyche. Over thirty years, Henri Nouwen wrote over 40 books on the spiritual life. He corresponded regularly in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish with hundreds of friends and reached out to thousands through his Eucharistic celebrations, lectures and retreats. Since his death in 1996, ever-increasing numbers of readers, writers, teacher and seekers have been guided by his literary legacy. Nouwen’s books have sold over 2 million copies and been published in over 22 languages.
The August 23, 2003 edition of the Christian Century magazine reports on a study commissioned by Duke Divinity School’s Pulpit and Pew project, and conducted by the National Opinion Research Centre at the University of Chicago. Both mainline Protestant and Catholic clergy named Nouwen as the author they most often read, other than the Bible, in their work as pastors. Notables as respected and diverse as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, U.S. Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton, and TV’s Fred Rogers (“Mister Roger’s Neighborhood”) have publicly acknowledged the considerable influence that Nouwen’s writing has had on them personally.
Nouwen ranks as one of the most significant spiritual leaders of our time. Nouwen was a priest, academic, psychologist, teacher, author, gifted public speaker, spiritual member, faithful correspondent and friend, wounded healer and a passionate seeker. With an uncanny ease he moved in and out of these different roles, never allowing himself to be fully contained or categorized. In so doing he showed, and continues to show, a generation of ministers, teachers and seekers how one’s gifts are to be placed at the service of those whom God places in our path.
Nouwen was a spiritual thinker, a synthesis and one of the first in our time, along with Thomas Merton, to consciously develop a “theology of the heart” and to lay this down as a template for both clergy and lay persons. Nouwen, as Merton before him, always stressed the relational. He writes very directly about our contemporary longings for meaning, belonging, and intimacy and, at the same time, integrates this with a powerful vision of service and social justice. Nouwen often used the three core themes of solitude, community, and compassion to help people enter into a fresh vision of the spiritual life.

Elise Eats Europe 6: Paris
I VISITED A HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL ON THIS DAY. IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I DEBATED WHETHER OR NOT TO INCLUDE THE VISIT HERE, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. IT IS UP TOU YOU WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO READ THIS ONE IF IT MIGHT BE EMOTIONAL FOR YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE READING THIS AT WORK.
Sunday Bob woke me up with croissants and intensely strong coffee, the Parisian dream. After wandering around a bit, we went to Pho 67. I had a bit of a cold, and I heard that Viet Namese food in Paris kicks ass. It really does. My Pho was spectacular. I did find a long hair in it, but I always think of that Lynda Barry cartoon:
Home Ec teacher: Be sure to wear you scarf. I can't think of anything worse than finding a hair in your food.
Kid: I can. I can think of way worse things than hair.
So, I removed the hair and kept eating. Bob's "Sauteed beef and vermicelli" was fantastic, with little caramelized bits of pork and lots of lemongrass. While photographing it, I accidentally dunked my camera strap in my pho. Bob said, “That’s the risk you run by documenting all of your meals.”
We had a hard time finding the Memorial de Deportees, but I really felt like I owed the visit to certain people that I love. Behind Notre Dame, there is a small park. Behind THAT park, in-between two bridges, is another, even smaller park. In this smaller park, there is a small entrance leading to a set of stairs. At the bottom of these stairs, you turn and enter a small crypt-like series of rooms.
A hallway off of the main room is lined with over 200,000 crystals, one for every French citizen who was taken by the nazis and who never returned. The crystals are subtlely lit, so they seem to glow, and it seems like the light is emanating from thousands of lost souls. In the center of this hallway lie the remains of one unknown deportee. At the end on a hallway burns an eternal flame.
There are a few small hallways that lead to barred-in cells, or to dead-ends. On the walls are words carved in French with small English translations. They are quotes about loss. I just read them and cried and cried.
On the floor in the center of the room is a circle, which reads around the circumference in French: They went into the earth and did not return.
As you walk out of the room into fresh air, you feel like you are escaping. You do not realize how tight and cramped the space is until you leave. You leave that space with such relief that you cannot help but feel guilty for leaving behind all of those who could not leave. You know that you can walk away when they could not.
All we could do for a long time was stand on the bridge and stare dumbly at the water.
Then I heard the faint strains of accordian music. It was the stereotypical "French" music that they play in movies. We walked over to the accordian player, and he was grinning widely with what teeth he had left. His face was lit with joy. I looked around. Street performers were juggling, children were eating ice cream, and dogs were playing at the edge of the river. This square, once occupied by the nazis, was teeming with life ...almost, it seemed to me at the moment, defiantly.
I realized at that moment what a disservice it would be to the dead, to all dead, to squander the gift of life. I realized that is not disrespectful to feel joy; it is a privilege. So we walked over to the Berthollian ice cream stand and ordered two cones. Bob ordered banana and I ordered cherry. We ate them while watching a yellow lab play in the water. Bob wondered aloud what the "Creole" ice cream on the menu was.
"Go get one" I told him.
"No. Go ahead. Eat two ice cream cones. Live."
We decided that after seeing a monument to captivity, maybe we should see a monument to liberty, so we went to the Eiffel tower. I expected to just take an obligatory photo, and leave 5 minutes later unimpressed. I was so wrong. It is huge, and the girders make cool geometric shapes. It was awe-inspiring.
We stayed at the Eiffel tower longer than expected, so we made it to the Musee de Orsay only an hour before closing. You know how there are walking tours? This was like: Impressionism - the running tour. We saw Dejuneur sur l'Herbe, and Olympia, one of my favorites. We rushed to the fourth floor to zoom through Degas, Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and LaTrec. It was like a pie-eating contest of art appreciation. I focused on Van Gogh and Monet, because seeing the actual canvas makes such a difference in appreciating their art. I was kind of surprised at how different Degas and Renoir were "live and in person." Degas does really cool smeary effects, and the colors are irreplicable. Up close, there is just a smudge of paint on a Renoir, but when you step back two feet, that smudge becomes a twinkling eye and ruddy cheek.
As we walked back to the hotel along the Seine, we started to hear music, and suddenly there was a giant crowd coming towards us. A band was playing on the bed of a giant truck for an HIV awareness campaign. Countless students were dancing alongside the truck, and we got caught up in the fun. Then another band came along, and another, and another. It was a huge street festival, and everyone was happy and having fun. People had climbed up on top of the bus stop shelters to dance. It started raining, and we all danced in the rain. It was another one of those chance experiences you just can't plan.
We ducked into a little Cafe, the Cafe Beaux Arts, and had a nice cheese and charcuterie plate as we watched the rain rage outside. Some of the cheeses were pretty stinky, but I loved the pate. We had a dinner party to attend, and the hour was getting late, so off we went.
Festivals are a double-edged sword. As we walked away from the parade, we saw swarms of police vans heading towards the parade. Apparantly taxis are not allowed to pick people up around barricaded streets, so as the rain hammered down on us, one empty taxi after another passed us by. We finally had to go back to the hotel and have them call us a taxi, making us late for dinner.
There is a Bohemian gentleman by the name of Jim Haynes who holds a Sunday evening dinner party every week for anyone who cares to show up. Everyone pitches in 20 Euros apiece, and people come from all over the world. This particular Sunday night had a Greek theme, and the food was delicious. We started with a big Greek salad, not skimping on the kalamatas or feta. Then there were prodigious plates of marinated calamari, fava beans, roasted red peppers, dolmas, hummus, baba ganoush and homemade pitas. I didn't even think I liked dolmas, but I guess I never knew anyone who made them properly before.
There were between 40 and 60 people there. The small apartment was cozy and did not feel crowded, thanks to large windows and a nice patio. I was a little out-of-place at first, but Jim Haynes introduces people around, taking care to match languages and personalities. First we hung out with Ian, a nice British architect. We talked about the design of Bath and the Pompidou, art and music.
Then I met a cool expatriate from New Orleans who reminded me of the satyr from Allegro Non Troppo. He introduced us to his friend, Les, whose sons own a creole restaurant in Los Angeles. Les turned out to be a drummer, so he and Bob impressed eachother with their knowledge of obscure jazz musicians for awhile. Before we left, we had a standing invitation to Les' annual Mardi Gras party.
A passing party guest asked me if I was tired. " A little" I replied, "I just spent a week here in the last three days."

11 best proxy sites for school to unblock websites
Schools and institutions often block particular websites to prevent access due to severe distractions that children often face. But during a project or research work, those websites become necessary to access and hence, the kids aren’t able to access them again. So it turns out compulsory to make those sites accessible even if the school authority does not permit it. In order to make it available, you need the help of proxy servers to unblock websites at school and complete your project works.
What are proxy sites?
A proxy site works as an intercessor between the user and the targeted server, for e.g. between your computer and the targeted server you are trying to access. A proxy site hides your real computer IP and location and uses a virtual location and IP address to access the server. In this way, the information is collected by the proxy site from that server and delivered to your computer efficiently. A school proxy site works like any other web page and it hides your identity so that the destination server cannot track it.
How proxy sites work?
When you visit a particular URL using a proxy site, it uses a random IP address to mask your real IP. By using that random IP it forwards your request to the destination server and delivers back the collected information from the targeted server to you. This way you can remotely connect to the blocked website through the internet and access the URL anonymously.
How to unblock websites at school?
To unblock a particular web page at school, please follow the steps below:
- Open the URL of the proxy site from the best proxy site list
- Enter the blocked URL in the proxy site address bar
- Hit Enter and you’ll be redirected to the web page
- Access it anonymously

In all new fields of endeavor ethical concerns unfortunately end up being brought to the fore after serious issues have been brought to light. This is currently happening in a system that involves tapping (not EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques) that is known by its deceptive acronym FasterEFT. There have been isolated instances in the EFT community throughout the years however none as egregious as have come to light in the last month about “Faster”. Since the early days of it’s creation EFT organizations have instituted many safe guards to ensure public safety first and foremost. Many have ethics training in place to educate trainees and future practitioners. Let’s take a look at the ones set in place by the largest EFT organization in the United States of America, EFT Universe.
Within EFT Universe trainers are vetted by the organization. Some trainers are mental health care professional and some are not but have vast experience in the field. The version of EFT being taught at EFT Universe trainings is known as Clinical EFT. Clinical EFT is based on the set of techniques that were involved in the original research studies validating EFT tapping. As such Clinical EFT trainings have been reviewed but a number of continuing education providers and has been deemed to be a valid technique to learn if you are a licensed professional in the healing arts and mental healthcare fields.
Students going through certification courses at EFT Universe attend a level 1 and 2 training followed at some point by another level 2 or Specialty Course with a different trainer. In doing so students learn from two different perspectives and sets of experiences. If and when video taping of sessions work in front of the group has occurred the attendee may decide to have that video removed from the public at any time.
Another safe guard is the testing requirements that need to be met by all certification tracks – comprehension and ethics are tested and need to be passed or a student will not be certified. Along with live trainings, students working through certification also need to work closely with a mentor. Mentors have also gone through the vetting process and their mentoring is personally reviewed by the head of EFT Universe, Dawson Church. Mentoring is critical oversight and one in which problems with ethics or skills will be seen by the mentor.
Through the mentoring process students working through certification will need to turn in 15 hours of personal work, 3 book reports on the required reading material, 47 sets of notes on sessions completed, and 3 multi-session case studies. This is another place where a mentor can spot a problem and address it with the student before the student becomes a working EFT professional.
This article has featured the various safeguards inside the EFT training organization known as EFT Universe. Future articles will include the process for other EFT organizations such as AAMET, AMT, ACHP, and ACEP.

What Communism Still Teaches Us
PRAGUE - The fifteenth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution on November 17, 1989, which brought an end to 41 years of communist dictatorship in Czechoslovakia, is an opportunity to ponder the meaning of moral behavior and free action. Today we live in a democratic society, but many people - not only in the Czech Republic - still believe that they are not true masters of their destiny. They have lost faith that they can really influence political developments, much less influence the direction in which our civilization is evolving.
During the communist era, most people believed that individual efforts to effect change did not make sense. Communist leaders insisted that the system was the result of history's objective laws, which could not be challenged, and those who refused this logic were punished - just in case.
Unfortunately, the way of thinking that supported Communist dictatorships has not disappeared entirely. Some politicians and pundits maintain that Communism merely collapsed under its own weight - again, owing to "objective laws" of history. Again, individual responsibility and individual actions are belittled. Communism, we are told, was only one of the dead ends of Western rationalism; therefore, it was sufficient to wait passively for it to fail.

Rauelsson is probably best known for intimate guitar and vocal based songs with releases on Hush and even an appearance on the early sonic pieces album Portland Stories compiled by Heather Woods Broderick. With this in mind, Vora comes as a surprise in a grandeur way with its mixture of everything from piano solos, orchestrated classical music, synth buildups and even an shoegaze inspired organ piece sounding like Windy & Carl performing in an empty hallway.
Like a coastal dream impossible to differentiate summer for winter, Vora feels like cold winds slowly warming up. Made in the time Raúl moved from Portland, OR back to his native Spain, settling on the east coast, you can hear the influence of the endlessly forcing waves and empty off-season tourist cities left for the remaining few to discover in peace. Vora is a sure win for fans of Deaf Center´s Pale Ravine, Nils Frahm´s more melancholic moments or film musicians such as Philip Glass and Clint Mansell.

Reversing ageing in the brain
As we get older, our muscles and joints start to stiffen, making us move a bit slower. This week, a study reveals the same is true for our brains, and this affects how well the brain’s stem cells can keep the nervous system in good working order. The good news is that this aspect of ageing it might be reversible. To explain how, Robin Franklin and Kevin Chalut from the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute. First up, Kevin explained the stem cells they were looking at.
Robin - These are stem cells in the brain. Turns out actually our brain is full of stem cells, they're all over the place, but they're rather unusual sorts of stem cells in that they don't make all of the cells of the brain. So our brain consists of a variety of different types of cell: there are nerve cells which have these long extensions of nerve fibers, but there are also other types of cells called oligodendrocytes and they make the insulation around the nerve fibres. Now the stem cells in our brain are very good at making oligodendrocytes but they're not very good at making the nerve cells.
Chris - And because they can make these supporting cells that surround nerve cells and help them to function, they therefore are contributing, are they, to the ongoing function of the nervous system throughout 60/70/80 years of life?
Robin - Well the real significance of these cells is in the context of disease. So if you lose nerve cells - if you have a disease in nerve cells like Alzheimer's - they're gone forever because the stem cells don't replace them. The diseases of the support cells, the oligodendrocytes - such as MS - do at least in the early stages have the capacity to be regenerated, so your stem cells can make lost oligodendrocytes. The problem of course is that these cells become less and less effective at doing that as you get older, and so in diseases like MS of many decades’ duration there's a big problem of how you deal with the ageing phenomenon in the adult stem cell.
Chris - And Kevin what insights have you now got into why the older brain is less good at fixing itself with these sorts of stem cells than the younger brain?
Kevin - Well I think there is a lot of ideas about why that would be the case, but the finding that we made in this paper that was new is that we found that the brain is stiffening with age. And at the same time we found that if we could take these old stem cells and put them into a young animal, we found that they could be entirely rejuvenated. It’s as if they always knew what they could do but they just didn't know they were supposed to do it. So what we did was we put these two facts together - the fact that it wasn't irreversible, and the fact that the brain stiffens with age - and we made the hypothesis that perhaps it's about stiffness.
Chris - How do we know it's the stiffness that's important?
Kevin - So we have these synthetic scaffolds that we invented so that we could put cells onto a stiff or a soft synthetic scaffold, and nothing else was different except for the stiffness.
Chris - Right.
Kevin - And so what we were able to do is put these old cells onto the very soft scaffold and know that the only thing that was changing was the stiffness.
Chris - And do we know how the cells are doing the cellular equivalent of the Princess and the Pea experiment? How they know they're in a stiff or a soft environment?
Kevin - We have a lot of ideas, and I suppose that one could expand on it, but one of the things that I suppose that we do know is that there's this thing called “mechanical signalling”: how cells are getting signals about how stiff their environment is. And one of the main proteins that's responsible for this is a protein called Piezo1, which is sort of a channel that sits on the surface of these cells and that basically tells the cell, “am I in a stiff environment or am I in a soft environment?”
Chris - And as the cell... because these cells start in one place, they're born in one place, they've got to migrate or move to where they're needed; and I presume as they move they're encountering this environment, they're sensing it, via the signalling from this Piezo1 signal...
Kevin - Yes.
Chris - And that has some effect on the cells telling them to either grow more or less, according to how much signalling is there?
Kevin - Yes, exactly. It's a combination of the environment stiffening, and they encounter all sorts of environment, but then they also have these signals that tell them how stiff that environment is.
Chris - Robin, why have we got a system in our brains then - that can stop the brain repairing itself as well as it could do when we get older - in the first place?
Robin - Yeah, that's a great question and I'm not sure we know the answer to that. I sort of think that once an organism has got beyond the age of being reproductively useful it doesn't matter what happens, and so this is just a function of wear and tear that, the brain starts getting stiffer, our stem cells don't work so well. Of course that's a problem for humans with chronic diseases.
Chris - Sure. And talking of chronic diseases, could you use your learning between the two of you to get these cells to perform better? If you know this signal exists, is it possible to blindfold the cells to the stiffness of the environment in which they find themselves, so they're fooled into thinking they're back in a young brain and they can repair better?
Robin - Well that's exactly what we intend to do. I mean I think that there are two very interesting implications of this study in terms of therapies. One is that if you transplant a fit, vibrant cell into an old environment it ain't going to work, because the old environment will make that into an old cell. But secondly what we found is that actually if you dissociate an old cell from its stiff environment it now works as if it's a young cell, so actually the translation implications of that, of perking up these old cells - that you really haven't clapped out at all, they’re just in the wrong environment - and reinvigorate them, then the therapeutic opportunities are really very exciting.

The debate between embroidery and screen printing can last for ages. In fact, it has. There are particular times and situations when you want to go with embroidery over everything else. Here are the facts, Jack.
Cleaner look. When looking for a logo that will last and look crisp, always choose embroidery. Two of the reasons people choose screen printing is because it is cheaper and easier to blend colors. However, when looking for a more professional look, nothing beats embroidery.
Lasts longer. When I wash my clothes, it only takes a couple of cycles before my screen printed shirts fade. An embroidered logo retains its color much longer and will not fray like many of the screen printed shirts will. The reason is because it is stitched onto a shirt, product, item, etc. by a high-powered sewing machine.
More colors? No worries. Whether you need to use 1 color or 15 colors on your logoed item, fear not. Embroidery charges are based on a stitch count, meaning the size and detail of the logo will be the basis for the price. So feel free to color away!
Textured surfaces. In order to screen print an item it must have a smooth surface to place the logo on. This can be good for t-shirts, bags, cups, mugs, hats, etc. But let’s say I want a polo shirt or a jacket. Can I screen print on these items? The answer is no, unless the polo is a t-shirt material. The reason I am so polar on this topic is because you could very well try to screen print on these items and heck, it may even turn out nice, but when you use the item for only a short period of time, the logo will wear and you will start noticing missing parts from where the logo has come off. When deciding between embroidery and screen printing on a textured surface, always choose the former.
If these reasons are ringing a bell, you will want to stick to embroidery for your company’s next softball game and little Jack’s new Karate bag.

All it took was an off-hand mention in The New York Times a few hours ago, but now the blogosphere is lighting up with talk about the possibility that Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire could be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Times mentioned her as one of several possibilities if President Barack Obama decides to look toward someone with experience in elective office to replace the retiring Justice David Souter.
Besides her five years as governor, Gregoire has plenty of high-profile legal experience as the state's attorney general for 12 years. There is also a lot of speculation that Obama is interested in naming a woman. And, for what it is worth, Gregoire did endorse Obama early in the primary season over Hillary Clinton.
One issue, however, is that Gregoire is 62 and there is some thinking that Obama would want a younger nominee who could potentially be on the court for two or three decades. Of course, all of this is just speculation.
Gregoire spokeswoman Katrina Shagren told Publicola that the governor has not talked with anyone in the Obama administration about the position. "She's flattered by the attention, but she has every intention of completing her second term as governor," Shagren said.

Double Maths (Maths + Further Maths) A Level
Board: Pearson Edexcel
About the subject
The Double Maths course is for those with a real love of mathematics (and algebra!). The course leads to two A levels – one in Mathematics and one in Further Mathematics – and therefore is taught over two blocks. Students are taught in separate classes from those taking a single Maths A level.
Students will study a wide range of pure and applied content in the two A-levels. The pure content expands upon the algebra, geometry and trigonometry from GCSE and introduces new areas of mathematics such as exponentials and logarithms, calculus, and parametric equations and reimagines both the number and geometry systems with complex numbers and polar coordinates. Skill in algebra is particularly important as it underpins all other topics.
Mechanical mathematics covers analysing forces, accelerations, momentum and similar ideas to describe what happens in physical situations. Statistical mathematics extends the work done at GCSE to cover ways of analysing and displaying numerical data from small and large data sets, and of drawing conclusions from these. Probability theory becomes a key tool, with new probability distributions being studied.
Lessons will comprise of a variety of styles and formats. Students will access the content of the course through preparatory work (online videos or walk-throughs), explanation of the concepts in class by the teacher, or through independent or group investigation. Students will work individually and cooperatively to consolidate their understanding, and engage in short and extended problem-solving tasks. Students need to take an active part in their learning, in monitoring their depth of understanding and in taking steps to repair weaknesses, as well as completing weekly problem sets and preparatory assignments. Regular tests help students to monitor their own progress and the maths department has well-established support structures in place to enhance success.
Subject Combinations and Progression
Many students on this course go on to study degrees in Mathematics, or a subject with a significant mathematical component. A qualification in Further Maths is highly respected as an indicator of intellectual ability, and absolutely necessary for mathematically related degrees at the top universities. The maths department offers a wider range of support for students aspiring to these universities including STEP and AEA preparation classes.
Subject Modules and Assessment
The A-level in Mathematics course will be taught in year 1 and the Further Maths A-level course in the second year. Both A-levels are examined in the summer term at the end of year 2 (three exams for Maths and a minimum of four for Further Maths), comprising topics from all areas of the maths and further maths courses respectively
GCSE grade 7 (an 8 or 9 preferred) in Mathematics and a grade 4 in an English GCSE is required . There is no requirement to take any Additional Maths qualifications, though these can be helpful.

An elephant in the African savanna sniffs out the Acacia trees.
Credit: Kathleen Rudolph.
Ants in your pants? That's nothing compared with ants up your snout. And that's what elephants in the African savanna must contend with when trying to snag a meal from a certain type of acacia tree.
In fact, the pesky animals are keeping African elephants from devouring so-called Acacia drepanolobium trees as they have been to other tree species in the area, a new study suggests.
"Ants swarming onto an herbivore's face often tend to head for the sensitive parts such as the nostrils before hunkering down and taking a bite out of the offending animal," said study researcher Todd Palmer, a University of Florida biology professor. "While the outside of an elephant's trunk is very tough, the inside of the trunk is very sensitive and full of nerve endings. It seems that elephants simply do not like ants swarming up the insides of their trunks."
Palmer and his colleague Jacob Goheen, of the University of Wyoming, were conducting research in the central highlands of Kenya, where elephants have destroyed much of the tree cover. There, the A. drepanolobium trees appeared to be unscathed by the hungry giants.
That tree in particular has a cozy relationship with ants, which live on its branches full time. "The ants protect the tree in exchange for both housing that the tree produces in the form of bulbous hollow thorns, as well as food in the form of a sugary nectar that is secreted at the base of the leaves," Palmer said.
But the researchers weren't sure whether the elephants steered clear due to the ants or some other factor. So they set up an experiment at a wildlife orphanage, where they gave elephants a choice between the A. drepanolobium trees with and without ants on the branches, and their favorite food, Acacia mellifera, to which the researchers added ants to some of its otherwise ant-free branches.
"We found the elephants like to eat the 'ant plant' trees just as much as they like to eat their favorite tree species, and that when either tree species had ants on them, the elephants avoided those trees like a kid avoids broccoli," Palmer said.
Elephant's Achilles heel
Giraffes, gazelles and other savanna mammals seem to be oblivious to the ant swarms, a phenomenon the researchers say has everything to do with the length of the animals' noses.
Giraffes were blessed with relatively short noses and very long tongues. "So when ants begin to swarm towards a giraffe's nose, it appears to use its long, tough tongue to swipe them away before being bitten," Palmer said. "An elephant, on the other hand, has a very long 'nose,' which is its trunk. And it's that trunk it uses to feed, and so the trunk comes in contact with those swarms of biting ants."
"In contrast to the catastrophic damage that elephants wreak, however, these mammal species tend to either strip away leaves or nip the growing tips of trees, and so their damage to acacias is less severe," Palmer explained.
The results, which are detailed this week in the journal Current Biology, might have implications for how the savannas will fare as droughts become more frequent, which is predicted due to global warming.
"With more droughts, the extent to which elephants destroy and remove trees may increase and potentially shift the ecosystems back to grasslands," Palmer said, and so the ants' role in saving the trees could be critical.

NOTTS COUNTY'S Ian Ross is demanding a recount over the goal that earned a point.
City winger Jeff Hughes deflected in Ross's free-kick in the 55th minute, but the County player said: "I think it should be my goal."
County manager Steve Thompson is backing Ross. "He's claiming it and so would I if I was him," said Thompson. "The goal was all down to Ian. He can put in quality balls and cause problems for defenders."

Illinois SB3286 Passes, Requires Gated Communities to Grant Access to Process Servers
- May 01, 2014
- by Kimberly Faber
Update: Senate Bill 3286 has passed through the Senate and House as of May 21st, 2014.
In a bill working through the Illinois judicial system since February of 2014, gated communities would be required to grant access to an individual who is attempting to serve process within that community. The bill names condominium associations and cooperatives in addition to gated residential communities, specifying that access must be given to common areas.
Timeline for SB3286
SB3286 is sponsored by Senators Mike Jacobs, Don Harmon, and Michael E. Hastings as well as Representatives Patric J. Verschoore and Lou Lang.
Synopsis of SB 3286
Provides that a gated residential community, including a condominium association or a cooperative, shall grant unannounced entry into the community, including its common areas and common elements, to a person who is attempting to serve process on a defendant or witness who resides within or is known to be within the community.Synopsis from Illinois General Assembly Website
An employee of a gated residential community shall grant entry into the community, including its common areas and common elements, to a process server authorized under Section 2-202 of this Code who is attempting to serve process on a defendant or witness who resides within or is known to be within the community. As used in this Section, "gated residential community" includes a condominium association, housing cooperative, or private community.
Melissa Fraase of the Illinois Association of Professional Process Servers (ILAPPS) shared the following in an email. "The Bill passed House Judiciary Committee 014-000-000 on April 30th. It is on the Calendar for 2nd Reading on Short Debate. We do not have a date yet as we plan on visiting Madam Chairman and the Minority Spokesperson to clarify some questions that came up in Committee. We have faith that the bill will proceed without any additional amendments. The ACTHA (Association of Condominium, Townhouse, and Homeowners Associations) and ADSAI (Associated Detectives & Security Agencies of Illinois) are in support of the Bill."
The staff at Firefly Legal also shared support of the bill, saying in an email, "Firefly Legal fully supports this bill. Randy Mucha, our civil process supervisor, serves on the board of the Illinois Association of professional process servers and wrote a letter in support of this bill."
Randy Mucha wrote the following in support of the bill. "I am writing to express my support for SB 3286. I served over 10,000 people in the past 7 years as a Process Server in Illinois, and I was a sworn Illinois Law Enforcement Officer for 20 years before that. I understand our judicial system. I feel that it is very important that access to defendants not be hindered so that they may be served once legal action is pending against them. Defendants deserve ample opportunity to seek counsel if they so choose, and the ability to respond or appear as required. If access to defendants is prohibited and defendants are not served in a timely manner, our court system experiences delays and extra work, and all parties suffer as a result."

Labrador Creative Arts Festival
Welcome to the Labrador Creative Arts Festival!
As Canada's longest-running children's festival, the Labrador Creative Arts Festival brings together students of Labrador communities and artists from around the world for a week of original student-produced plays, workshops and fun.
At the beginning of the school year, the teachers are informed of the theme (as it's affectionately known) for that fall's Arts Festival, this years being "Transformation". The students then get together and brainstorm, coming up with an idea, which then turns into a script, cast and full production of an original play that encompasses the theme in their eye. In November they travel from their communities and gather in central Labrador, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, to perform their play for their friends, all other festival participants and artists and the community at large. Throughout the week the students also get to do workshops together with visiting artists from all different disciplines, and together they explore their creativity through art, plus having a bunch of fun while doing so!

Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A panel of lawmakers approved regulations Wednesday for Nevada's new Education Savings Account program, even though the rules contain controversial perks for military families and kindergartners.
The Legislative Commission's Subcommittee to Review Regulations passed the rules Wednesday on a split vote, with all three Democrats opposed. The move was the final hurdle for the state treasurer's office to adopt regulations for the program, which is expected to start disbursing money to thousands of Nevada families in February if courts don't put it on hold.
The program lawmakers authorized this spring allows families to claim a majority of their child's per-pupil state education funding and apply it toward qualified expenses such as private school tuition. Students must attend public school for at least 100 days before becoming eligible — a rule aimed at preventing all of Nevada's current private school students from jumping in the program at once and straining the state budget.
The regulations spell out implementation details for the program, and also exempt military families and kindergartners from the 100-day requirement. Military mothers testified that the exemption would allow more stability for their children, who already struggle with frequent moves.
Democratic opponents say the exemptions supported by Treasurer Dan Schwartz exceed the parameters of the original bill and the treasurer's authority. State lawyers also raised concerns that the exemptions went too far.
To clarify the ambiguities, Republicans pushed a nonbinding resolution through the Legislature in the final moments of a special session this month that says lawmakers' original intent would have been to support the two exemptions. But Senate Democratic leader Aaron Ford referred to the unexpected measure as "resolution by ambush" and said minutes from this spring's session show no substantial discussion about any exemptions to the 100-day rule.
Ford also said Wednesday that the regulations are controversial enough that they should have been considered by the larger Legislative Commission but wouldn't have passed there. The commission includes 12 members and is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, while the seven-member subcommittee leans Republican.
Democrats stressed that they support military families, but they oppose efforts to exempt them from the rule through regulations instead of going through the traditional legislative process.

This bit is regularly used with wedding rings or with 2 pairs of reins.
The curb chain exerts extra pressure on the jaw, it is important to adjust it well (flat and in contact when the bit makes a 45° angle with the mouth).
The Pelham bit is a good mouthpiece to have a better control when jumping.
The setting of the curb-chain makes it possible to dose the strengh of the action of the Pelham- short shank.
It must lie flat, in contact and allow a 45° angle between the shanks and the axis of the mouth.
Made of stainless steel, it is sold with its own curb-chain.

Hi Crate team,
I read about optimize command to align all table segments on the disk so that read performance can be improved and few questions came up.
- Is there any way I can see how the segments are spread for my table or for a table partition?
- I have done only insert operation using JDBC in a table partition and did not do any delete or update operations. Is there is chance of spread out segments in this case? Will firing optimize command further improve read performance?
- Documentation says that CrateDB does the optimization in the background. Is there any way I can check if it is complete or pending?
Yes, the system table sys.segments exposes information about the segments. This includes the table that the segment belongs to, the segment size/number of documents, and more.
Also when running only INSERT statements, optimizations can happen. Segments are written on two conditions, as per the Lucene documentation:
A flush is triggered when there are enough added documents since the last flush. Flushing is triggered either by RAM usage of the documents (see
IndexWriterConfig.setRAMBufferSizeMB(double)) or the number of added documents (see
Independent of that, the optimization algorithm can still prefer larger segments and therefore merge smaller segments that have been created based on one of those two conditions.
You can see this yourself when running INSERT statements on a table and watching
sys. segments. Initially, new segments are generated rather quickly, but at some point, the number of segments decreases, as optimizations kick in and start consolidating segments.
I don’t think there is currently any information exposed on ongoing/past optimizations. Optimizations typically don’t require much attention as they are more of a housekeeping task to keep overhead caused by segments low.
Is there a particular practical reason why you want to take a closer look at segments, or is it just out of curiosity?
Hi @hammerhead ,
As it said it improves the read/query performance if there are less number of big size segments, I was exploring it.

While filling a Memo Book might be many times I had written Best Book as Muna Madan . But the truth would be I have never gone through it even once in my life time. Always heard of it so had bought the book for 2,3 times but didn’t go through it,always lost it before reading. I had heard the theme of the story from others but didn’t go through the book.

Practicing Faith over Fear: Jupiter into Sagittarius and Lunar Node ChangeNovember 2018
November is rarely an easy month. We are full-on in the calendar year end, with school and work functioning at its peak and gearing up for the holidays. As the Sun (our will) moved into Scorpio during the final week of October, we all certainly felt the Scorpion’s sting reverberating through every level of our lives.
The intensity continues for the next four weeks. November may very well outdo October. Human beings want certainty and reliability. This month promises the opposite, unless we are willing to make some very strong decisions and changes to our lives and culture. Deeply perceptive Scorpio rules power, joint finances, death, rebirth and regeneration. November finds our plates full with heaping portions of each; as fall turns into winter, we are asked to let go of what is dead on the vine of our lives and transform.
The month opens with a grand challenge between Radical Uranus, Relationship Venus and the North and South lunar nodes. Picture four figures squaring off in a boxing ring vying for a prize. There you have the energy on November 1. It remains with us for all of November. At first, immovable and stubborn, then later on catalytic and provocative. Perhaps this sounds familiar? A personal situation you find yourself in or the national political scene in the United States. Stubborn with clenched fists, each side so sure they are right, leading up to Election Day on November 6th, then reeling into activity afterward.
This boxing ring energy pushes us to face and make changes in all of our relationships, including to ourselves, others and to money, how we earn it and use it. Great Awakener Uranus acts like a lightning rod; in an instant, what we know to be certain, tried and true, took to be a given in our lives may change on a dime. (The recent mass shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue comes to mind). The opening week of November is not for the faint of heart. Brace yourself. The rug may be pulled out from under you at a moment’s notice. The flip side of this is that there may be surprises of unexpected, life-changing joy and abundance for some.
Everything and everyone is in a profound state of flux right now. Life rarely stagnates; this month it is good to remember that the only way to grow often occurs in the wake of radical or abrupt events. Unpredictable is the watchword of the month. What has been roiling and bubbling under the surface all through 2018 is now coming to a gigantic head. Change agent Uranus rules volcanoes and earthquakes. You will feel these in your life.
Election Day in the United States on November 6th occurs during the darkest phase of the moon. The very next day, a different world dawns with the New Moon on November 7th. More than most New Moons, this one holds particularly strong energy. Both Sun and Moon are at 15 degrees Scorpio, an especially intense marker. Powerful, yes. Psychic and intuitive, indeed. Noteworthy and attention-getting: you bet. This New Moon is here to make a statement.
What is not and has not worked to date is now done and over. Dead and gone. Conjoined to Generous Jupiter at the final 29th degree of Scorpio, you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is time to let go of a relationship or habit; to walk away from a job or lifestyle.
It is time to close the door on what was. If you don’t close the door, it will be closed for you. Believing that something might continue in its old form, somehow be restored to what once was, the person or situation will be removed from you altogether. This New Moon means business. It may not be direct but it surely isn’t subtle in terms of bringing what is finished in your life to a complete and utter finish, so you may begin anew, start over fresh, accessing your true nature in all its power and vitality.
New Moons typically are not explosive (that’s usually reserved for Full Moons). Yet this November 6th New Moon is embedded with tremendous power. Be sure to hand write 3-5 wishes, goals or prayers and either plant them in the earth or cast into a moving body of water. On the very same day, retrograde Uranus re-enters fiery Aries AND the lunar nodes change signs as well. The significance of this cannot be emphasized enough. Uranus and the lunar nodes shift from resistant, fixed signs to catalytic ones. Change and change now or you will be forced to change by circumstances beyond your control.
The message is clear: be the master of your new life or one will be created for you.
In a cosmically packed month, the shift of the Lunar Nodes is the most significant event. The North Node is what calls our name and draws our attention. It now moves from festive, creative Leo to nurturing Cancer. This sensitive water sign rules home, mom, family, and food. It also rules the homeland, your country of birth or origin. And patriotism. Think about the steep importance of the Nodes changing signs ON Election Day November 6th! Wow.
The next 18 months will have an utterly different feel. Cancer is touchy-feely, so unlike dramatic Leo. Overnight, we are drawn to what gives quiet, homey comfort. Where Leo is brash, bold and bombastic, Cancer moves steadfastly, if not directly, toward its goals.
Meanwhile, the Lunar South Node shifts into sturdy Capricorn. The point of release, the South Node thrives in earthy Capricorn. Its motto: if it doesn’t work, it’s done. Out with it! Capricorn is black and white energy. What works and what doesn’t work? it asks. Incredibly incisive and discerning, the lunar South Node will purge anything that does not function well or serve our highest potential.
The very next day, November 7th, Jupiter enters its own sign Sagittarius for the next year. HOORAY! Sagittarius rules the Law (earthly and cosmic), truth and honesty, spirituality and religion, travel and freedom, education, adventure and life lessons. Conjoined to the New Moon and Messenger Mercury, Jupiter has some announcements to make, starting with the Mueller investigation in the United States.
For the past year, Jupiter cycled through Scorpio, the detective, uncovering Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. With Jupiter’s passage into Sagittarius, Mueller will bring his findings to a court of law, prosecuting and indicting what his team has unearthed during the past year. Mueller has been extremely careful to not reveal the cards in his hand and has only played those he holds with masterful direction. By November’s Full Moon, Mueller will reveal the case he’s been building over the past two years.
The waxing moon gradually reveals the truth. Everyone is called to answer now: take responsibility for what is yours. Jupiter in Sagittarius guarantees it. So if you have been less than honest in one or more areas of your life, you will rectify and correct that now. It is the law.
Mid-month sees a major gear shift. Venus, planet of love, money and relationships, finally turns direct motion while the very same day, Messenger Mercury turns retrograde. This is the equivalent of a planetary baton pass in a relay race. Over the last six weeks, we did a lot of work reviewing and mending relationships and our finances. Messenger Mercury now extends yet more RE-flection, to RE-view plans. This way, by year’s end, you will know exactly how to tackle 2019. Mercury is retrograde November 16-December 7th; so a gentle reminder to hold off on buying holiday gifts until after December 7th lest they be RE-turned. RE-frain from signing any contracts or investing in major purchases until December 7th.
Part of the major mid-month gear shift is Motivating Mar’s movement into Pisces also on November 16th. For longer than usual, Mars cycled through the ingenious and inventive sign of Aquarius, due to its retrograde cycle all summer. Finally Mars is entering the inspirational and artistic sign of Pisces. Over the next six weeks, Mars gradually joins Neptune, ruler of Pisces. Pay particular attention during the last two weeks of November to opportunities for significant reflection, deep healing and cleansing. In the hustle and bustle around Thanksgiving, take a woods walk or get a massage.
Pisces teaches us to have faith over fear. With multitudes of uncertainties in our world right now, the easier path is to allow fear to drive our decisions. Yet if we do not master fear with faith, through practices of faith, then fear will drive our decisions. As we approach the New Year, it is vital to watch what steers our decisions. Act with faith. Act based on faith.
Heightening awareness around fear vs. faith is the increasing challenge between Mars in Pisces and the planets in Sagittarius. Pisces wants to believe while Sagittarius wants to understand. Leading into Thanksgiving, the Sun (our will and identity) joins Generous Jupiter and Messenger Mercury in philosophical Sagittarius. Emotions may run very high at Thanksgiving as it occurs the day before the Full Moon on November 23rd.
Sagittarius isn’t known to mince words. It shares opinions openly and honestly with everyone regardless of whose toes it steps on. Sensitive folks with feelings stoked by Mars-Neptune will not appreciate challenges to their beliefs. So a word of caution under this laden Full Moon: watch your tongue. Be mindful of others’ feelings. Step away from drama, neither creating it nor feeding into it. Speak your mind but curb your words, filter and tailor your thoughts to those present. One of the best ways to manage this year’s Thanksgiving table conversation is to ask:
how and where you can give more
how you can open your heart wider
how you can improve and grow service to your fellow man.
Positive lines of conversation will only garner you more respect and esteem.
Closing out Thanksgiving weekend, spiritual Neptune turns direct motion on Sunday, November 25th. The subtlest of energies, Neptune in its own sign of Pisces, harkens our soul to the greatest possible good: how can we live/live up to our fullest potential? Neptune rules dreams. What is your dream?
With the holiday season upon us, feel the Neptune-Mars deep clean and cleanse, inspiration and joy-filled light and love. Turn your gaze upward and out; align with the Sagitarrian archer Sun-Jupiter-Mercury and aim your bow and arrow high toward your dream. Let loose your arrows fly.
Of Special Note: The holidays are approaching! Thinking about gifts to give your loved ones? Especially that “hard to buy” for guy or gal? Consider a gift certificate for a Reiki session or an astrology consultation. There is no better way to start the New Year than with clean, clear chakras and energy or a personalized map of where you are headed and how to make the most of 2019! To purchase a gift certificate, please email me at email@example.com.

In telling ways, the Taliban’s brand has always been the burka. I mean brand here in both senses. In the old West one, the mark you burn into something to stake your claim to it: one unmistakable sign the Taliban had taken charge of a village, town or city was that all the women wore the full head to toe covering burka.
In the modern sense, here is what the Taliban’s burka brand conveyed in Afghanistan and Pakistan: power, control, and a return to the good old days – of justice, swift and sure, based on pure Islam and traditional tribal patriarchy.
It’s a brand that still seems to work in areas under Taliban control, which tend to be rural and tribal, but to grow, maybe even to survive the challenge of the Islamic State, the Taliban needs to recruit beyond its present holdings, in towns and cities, among men with a more urbane view of life and women and among women themselves.
In re-branding for a new audience, the Pakistani Taliban, like the Islamic State before it, still touts the old-time religion – fundamentalist Wahhabi or Deobandi Islam – but to a generation for whom “tribal father knows best” is something to escape. This means recruiting loose ends men on city streets and universities, and courting some women better fitted for Kevlar battle jackets than burkas.
Ironically this still-infrequent phenomenon – jihadi women as fighters or suicide bombers – became a reality at a peak moment of politically-inspired fear and loathing of everything Muslim in America and much of Europe.
The result, our guest, Rafia Zakaria, has pointed out in her new book Veil, has transformed the cliché used to brand Muslim women from “submissive” to “subversive.”
Rafia Zakaria is the author of The Upstairs Wife: An Intimate History of Pakistan (Beacon, 2015) and Veil (Bloomsbury, 2017). She is an attorney teaching constitutional law and political philosophy as well as

European Figures in Distance and e-Learning
In my contribution on European figures who have really made a difference in distance and e-learning I want firstly to observe that Europe has produced, or at least been the happy host of many of the major figures in our field. A question to be returned to is whether there is a unifying theme to theory and practice in Europe, so a particular European perspective on distance and e-learning, or rather a set of theorists and innovators who happen to have been based in Europe.

Georgina ended up being an unemployed 19-year-old girl whom lived along with her mom (who was simply additionally away from work). She had lent from the number of online and high-street lenders that are payday. She commented that she initially required the amount of money: merely to help you through, you understand, like, your work Centre cash and, you realize, meals and, i guess you need to get bits of clothes on your own, and you also could not pay for that many of enough time, on that type of cash, since you’ve surely got to make it endure you one week, then the following week. And. . . often you must borrow before you can your following payday, and after that you need to pay them straight back, therefore it ended up being simply difficult to endure.
Positive components of payday lending
Contrary towards the very nearly americash loans review wholly negative portrayal of payday lending as вЂextortionate’ and вЂpredatory’ by the news and campaigners, borrowers mentioned positive components of this type of credit with regards to the simplicity of access, as well as the capacity to keep dignity, privacy (especially with regards to online borrowing that is payday, duty and liberty. Even though the problematic components of payday financing definitely deserve attention (see next part), nearly all pay day loans are, indeed, repaid on time (CMA, 2014a).
The borrowers within our test generally appreciated the truth that the application that is online for an online payday loan ended up being simple and easy fast. They liked the truth that they had usage of credit the day that is same maybe not within one hour of these application being accepted. Some additionally liked the privacy regarding the online procedure because they felt embarrassed or ashamed they required credit and would not desire to feel judged. The need to maintain shame that is dignity/avoid perhaps perhaps not been previously highlighted in reference to payday financing but fits with current research regarding the part of pity with regards to poverty (Walker, 2014).
Shame-avoidance wasn’t the reason that is only preferring online methods. In some circumstances where individuals had utilized a face-to-face retail payday loan provider they stated they’d been addressed unfairly or had also been provided more credit than they desired.
Borrowers additionally generally speaking saw borrowing as a way of handling their situation individually and responsibly. They were keen in order to avoid learning to be a вЂburden’ on family members and/or buddies. But, in some instances, borrowers did ultimately ask their loved ones for assistance when they had experienced difficulties that are financial an outcome of taking out the pay day loan. And sometimes families intervened the moment they truly became conscious that a member of the family had utilized a pay day loan.
Immediate access to credit is just a well-known function of pay day loans that is much debated, with some people arguing that access might be вЂtoo fast’ (CMA, 2014b; IPPR, 2014; Appleyard et al., 2015). Less attention, nonetheless, is fond of another function that borrowers additionally generally speaking respected – the fact a pay day loan could be paid back quickly. Lots of the borrowers we interviewed had been debt averse and liked the truth that the cash advance could be paid back quickly so they will never have financial obligation hanging over them. The character of payday advances is consequently completely different from ongoing personal credit card debt or longer-term unsecured loans.
Olivia, for instance, had been 29, with home financing and a parent that is single three small children. She had not been presently working. Olivia took down an online payday loan for ВЈ200 for xmas gifts as she describes: it absolutely was around the holiday season, and I took down a quick payday loan, and I also understand i ought ton’t, because I becamen’t working, nevertheless they do not check always, and I also knew that i really could repay it. I really could pay it right straight back away from my income tax credits, which wasn’t a challenge.

Manus O'Donnell ( - 1563):
Manus O'Donnell was born in Donegal and in 1537 was inaugurated Lord of Tyrconnell at Kilmacrenan. He invaded the Pale in 1539, but two years later submitted to the Lord Deputy. His son Calvagh deposed him in 1555. He wrote love poetry and satiric verse and undertook to supervise the writing of a life of St Colmcille at Lifford Castle, where he was captive. This was completed in 1536. The manuscript is now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

There's also the Northside Market - That Pop-Up in Williamsburg near the BK Flea.. indoors & air conditioned. I went last week.. they had some nice food/lunch selections
Best indoor food markets
Mon Jul 12 2010
Arthur Avenue Retail Market
Take a step back in time at the Bronx’s most famous food market, which has been around since Mayor La Guardia forced pushcart vendors indoors in the 1940s. Gastro-tourists can go for grub that puts Manhattan’s Little Italy to shame, like marinara-drenched eggplant parm with homemade mozzarella from Mike’s Deli. It’s also a great place to soak up the local sights and sounds while shopping for imported meats, fresh pasta and other Italian groceries. 2344 Arthur Ave at 187th St, Bronx (arthuravenue.com). Mon--Sat 6am--6pm.
Sitting pretty in the shadows of the High Line, Chelsea Market is the poster child for Gotham’s new wave of artisanal purveyors. The roster of more than 30 indoor shops and restaurants features locavore favorites Dickson’s Farmstand Meats and Ronnybrook Farm Dairy, plus newcomer People’s Pop, which makes Popsicles and shaved ice from local, sustainably grown fruits and herbs. 75 Ninth Avenue at 16th St (chelseamarket.com). Mon--Fri 7am--9pm, Sat 7am--7pm, Sun 8am--6pm.
Essex Street Market
Those who ignore the ugly brick facade and venture into this city-owned public market (one of the last of its kind) are greeted with an embarrassment of riches, sold out of a mix of traditional and new-school stalls. Get top-notch curds from Saxelby Cheesemongers and Formaggio Essex, pick up Old World--style breads at Pain D’Avignon, and browse an encyclopedic list of cuts at Jeffrey’s Meats. For a break from shopping, a meal at Shopsin’s (Tue--Sat 9:30am--2pm)—a cramped diner with a schizophrenic menu ranging from mac-and-cheese pancakes to African green curry soup—offers an essential New York dining experience. 120 Essex St between Delancey and Rivington Sts (212-388-0449, essexstreetmarket.com). Mon--Sat 8am--7pm.
Fulton Stall Market
Sunday is market day down at South Street Seaport, where a friendly cluster of in-state farmers and local artisans has taken over the stalls left behind by the historic Fulton Fish Market. Pick up supplies—including fresh eggs and pasture-raised pork from upstate’s Bach Farm—for your own homemade farm-to-table supper, or just shop for staples such as Sour Puss Pickles, Bread Alone loaves and fair-trade beans from Yummy Coffee. South Street between Beekman and Fulton Sts (fultonstallmarket.com). Sun 11am--6pm.
Grand Central Market
Commuters and midtown workers can avoid having to resort to middling takeout by picking up fresh produce, prepared foods and more from a dozen specialty vendors in Grand Central Terminal. In addition to 30-day dry-aged steaks (Ceriello Fine Foods) and more than 250 kinds of fromage (Murray’s), the bustling market is a great place to snag last-minute gifts, such as Li-Lac Chocolates and spice sets from Penzeys Spices. Grand Central Terminal, 87 E 42nd St at Park Ave (grandcentralterminal.com). Mon--Fri 7am--9pm, Sat 10am--7pm, Sun 11am--6pm.

Adrian Peterson’s Agent Says the Running Back Will Never Play for Minnesota Again
Each day that goes by another layer is added to the Adrian Peterson saga. Now his agent has proclaimed that he won't play for Minnesota again.
According to Jason La Canfora of CBSSports, Adrian Peterson's agent Ben Dogra got involved in a shouting match with Rob Brzezinski of the Vikings front office at the NFL Combine. Brzezinski is the Vice President of Football Operations for the Minnesota Vikings.
Good riddance at this point. It is funny of how much of a difference a week can make. It wasn't long ago that fans of the Vikings and Peterson were coming to grips that the star running back would be making a return to the team. Fans forgave Peterson for his actions, at least for a couple of days.
It was shortly after that Peterson claimed that he was a victim of the Vikings organization. In a interview with ESPN's Ben Gossling, Peterson said that he felt no support from the Vikings during his exile from the league for his child abuse charges.
I've held my tongue for too long.
It's too bad that the "star" forgets that the situation he is in is because he put himself into it. The Minnesota Vikings did not abuse Peterson's child, Adrian Peterson ABUSED his child. It's quickly forgotten that the Vikings went to reinstate Peterson after one game only to have the public ridicule. It's quickly forgotten that the Vikings paid Peterson all season long for NOTHING.
But yet Peterson considers himself the victim. The real victim of this case is the child in which Peterson inflicted that pain on. In Peterson's eyes though, the child put himself into that situation, and now Peterson thinks the Vikings are putting them into their own situation by not supporting his actions and bending over backwards for him.
The fans have all the right to be upset with Adrian, and for good reason. A lot of fans stuck by him throughout the course of last season and now he is turning his backs on the organization that tried to stick with him.
Sorry to say Peterson, but they've turned on you also. Good riddance and take your problems elsewhere.

Now that Mark and I have the same days off, we've been trying to make time to go hiking more often!
A few weeks ago we hiked to the summit of Hawksbill Mountain. At 4050', it's the highest point in Shenandoah National Park. It was pretty cloudy, but I was hoping that we'd be able to get above all the fog as we got closer to the top.
The highlight of the hike turned out to be a few small birds that were eating bugs on the side of the trail. The drive back down Skyline Drive was nuts...visibility was so bad in several parts that you could barely see 50 feet ahead of the car!
We had a free afternoon again the following week, so we decided to go for another hike. This time we headed to the Rose River Loop. It's about 4 miles long, drops down to a waterfall, then follows the stream back up to a fire road.
The weather was much better this time! Mark wanted to climb on that log draped across the waterfall, but I convinced him not to.

your mind is so rigid, you cold critics
and mentally small, for the call, to express, a soul visit
those who express love, receives a gold ticket
those who express hate, are just troll/bigots
courageous in heart, so only the bold live it
fake counterfeits in life, could only mold gimics
I represent the past, and the untold village
old mother Africa, where devil's stole Kemet
religious people rich, because they sold spirit
loving my self, my family, is the whole image!

Want to know the number one reason that most holistic nutrition and health coaches fail?
It’s not because they don’t have the knowledge.
It’s not because they lack education.
It’s not even because they lack clients.
It’s actually, because they don’t know how to coach!
Think about it. Most certifications, we are learning so much knowledge, right? I call it the theory.
We’re learning about nutrition. We’re learning about mindset. We’re learning about digestion and blood sugar management and hormones. We’re learning about movement. There are so many pieces of the puzzle.
However, all of that stuff is just information and amazing life-changing information until we actually know how to deliver it to another human being and get them to implement what we are talking about. Because coaching is not telling someone what to do and expecting them to follow… it is a skill that most women who get certified NEVER learn.
Watch this then head on over to the link to download the brochure for our upcoming Holistic Nutrition Weight Loss Coach Certification…it’s coming up soon so you don’t want to miss it! ⇒ www.fitchicksacademy.com/

Why haven't I read this book earlier?!
I fell blindly and unconditionally in love with Kit! He seems to be struggling with his mid-life crisis big time: his long-term relationship has just ended, his career is going downhill, he is concerned about his health, he feels awfully old and he complains a lot about all and everything. What is there not to like about this man?! I enjoy the way he sees the world and himself through snarky lenses and I absolutely love the unbeatable logic of his!
And maybe it all comes down to the fact, that I've always enjoyed the way Josh Lanyon's characters are a bit older and have already been through a lot in life. A while back when reading paranormal romance I eventually grew tired of the fact that almost all the heroines where about 20 years old with superhero abilities. The fact that Kit is the same age than me is definitely a bonus - I can totally (well... maybe not totally
) relate to him and his weird line of thought. ;) I thought that him being slightly grumpy about his age was only cute. Behind all that reluctance of his there is something truly disarming about him!
The way Lanyon is kindly making fun of this aging writer, who hates writers retreats, but unyieldingly loves his Miss Butterwith
is fascinating. LOL! I can only imagine how much fun it has been to come up with names to the imaginary books of Miss Butterwith series and the subjects of the lectures held in the retreat. Ha! Overall it feels to me, that this must have been a fun book to write! The joy about writing Kit's story comes across so clearly.
Did I mention J.X. already? No? These two men seem to be contrary to one another - in other words a perfect fit. I sincerely hope that J.X. will have enough patience with Kit and his character in the future. I'm afraid Kit would be completely lost without him - although he doesn't realize it himself (or wouldn't at least never admit it). He really needs somebody to kick his butt now and then. J.X. qualifies perfectly for that job! :) So, I have my fingers crossed for them.
Anyway, this book was exactly what I needed right now! Can't wait to start reading All She Wrote
. Thank you again, Josh Lanyon! You never ever let me down.

For the last year, the entire Internet has watched the development of events in a pair of Dzhigan and Oksana Samoilova. Having turned her family into a brand, the rapper's wife could not even think that one day she would face a serious test of strength. How a mother with many children went from great love to a scandal and decided not to destroy the family hearth, read our material.
ROMANCE HERE AND DOESN'T SMELL
The acquaintance of Oksana Samoilova and Denis Ustimenko can hardly be called romantic. The girl who recently moved to Moscow dreamed of a modeling business, and the aspiring rapper Dzhigan was practically unknown to a wide audience. Young people met in a nightclub, where Oksana was resting with her friends.
Denis's gaze at some point stopped on a slender brunette, and it started … First, the artist invited Samoilova to appear in his video, and after two weeks of meeting he invited him to rest together. Oksana hesitated for a long time whether to fly. But I decided to take a chance. Returning to Moscow, the young lovers never parted.
SPACE SPEED OF STORY DEVELOPMENT
Of course, Oksana and Dzhigan talked about marriage, but before they put their stamps on their passports, they got a daughter, Ariela. The issue with the official registration of marriage was resolved quite quickly, and on 12.12.12 they became husband and wife. The wedding was extremely modest. Then a family of three lived in an ordinary residential area of Moscow, not chic.
“We were beggars. There was not even a bed in our rented apartment,”the musician recalls.
Samoilova herself sewed a wedding dress, and in public Oksana often shone in the same things. Soon, the failed model was already pregnant with her second daughter, but her husband took her from the maternity hospital not to a modest apartment, but to a luxurious penthouse in the center of the capital. Djigan's career was rapidly going uphill, and one could forget about the lack of money.
RUSSIAN BACKHAMS AND LOUD NAME
In the meantime, Denis continued to perform and earn a name and status for himself, his wife also did not sit idle. Oksana seriously started promoting her Instagram account and quickly turned her family into a real brand. Samoilova sold things, campaigned to go in for sports … looking for a niche that could be occupied.
And soon Samoilova already had several income-generating business projects, and her microblogging turned into an incredibly popular platform. The name of Oksana, like the names of her three daughters, was known to millions of people. Everyone followed the perfect union, calling Oksana and Denis Russian Beckhams, who have girls instead of boys.
But any popularity has two sides. Everyone saw the beautiful one. But Oksana, like Victoria Beckham, preferred to hide her tears and disappointments. Samoilova ignored all conversations about her husband's infidelities and direct messages of women on the network, where and when they annealed with Dzhigan.
However, what happened after the birth of such a coveted son of the couple, David, will not be forgotten for a long time. Noting the appearance of the heir, Denis got so carried away that he began to behave frankly inadequate.
Going live while intoxicated, mate in front of daughters and frightened eyes of girls who seemed completely happy in their mother's rollers …
Oksana did not evade questions and simply replied that everyone had seen everything, and she needed to gather strength to decide how to continue to live. Returning to Moscow, Samoilova filed for divorce.
“It's difficult to make decisions when you have four small children. But I was left with no choice. I'm filing for divorce. All the years of a happy life were a deception on his part. He swore on the health of our children, begged not to believe the gossip. And I believed, because I myself am not capable of such a betrayal,”Oksana wrote on the Internet at the time.
Everything that her husband thought it possible to answer her: "Sorryan!"
START FROM ZERO …
Time passed, but Samoilova did not come to the divorce proceedings, and soon she took the documents altogether. The fans were perplexed: Djigan's betrayals, like his drug addiction, have been proven … What else is needed?
Samoilova was not ready for this. Her heart demanded to stay and help Denis in a difficult situation for him. Soon the rapper pulled himself together, established relations with Timati, began to look after Oksana again. Everything from scratch to atone for guilt and shame …
“Guys, stop blaming me for living with my husband! I honestly told everything, honestly said that I have no idea if I did the right thing. But I obviously know better than all those who give advice. This is my life, you see, not yours. And your husband is not yours! And the children are not yours! With yours, do what you want. I do not call anyone to anything and do not say: "Do as I do!" Don't do as I do! Think with your head and feel with your heart! Live your life without looking back at others! If I was wrong, these are my mistakes and my lessons. It won't affect you in any way, do you understand? " - the mother of many children wrote to all the angry attacks in her address.
Djigan really tried. He was again the ideal husband, the best father and idolized Oksana, publicly admiring her beauty, wisdom and warmth. And if before the Internet users still had thoughts about the imminent divorce of Denis and his beautiful wife, now they are gone.
On the social network, Samoilova wrote that over the past year and a half, she and her husband have changed a lot, and these changes are definitely beneficial to them. They have become different: stronger.
“Time heals any wounds, slowly but surely. Every next day you can inhale a drop deeper,”Oksana simply wrote on the Internet, making it clear to everyone that there will be no divorce!

VINELAND -- A Minotola woman is in critical condition after a double-shooting at a cell phone store in Vineland left one man dead Monday morning.
Richard Soltysiak, 48, of Vine Road in Buena Vista Township, came into Mac Donald Communications near East Landis Avenue and Main Road this morning and shot 49-year-old Susan Freck, a store employee, in the head with a .38-caliber handgun before shooting himself in the head, according to Cumberland County Prosecutor Ron Casella.
The incident occurred between 8:30 and 9:20 a.m., prior to the store's opening.
The victims were discovered by a customer who found the store looked and observed the bodies of Soltysiak and Freck lying on the floor, Casella said.
The man was dead at the scene.
The woman, who was still breathing, was flown to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Atlantic City.
“Her condition is not good,” Casella said Monday morning, but said later that doctors indicated to him that they are optimistic she may recover.
Casella said the two victims had “a romantic relationship that had been on and off” and the shooting may have been the result of that relationship, which ended about three months ago.
Prosecutors are looking into whether there were any past incidents of violence between the couple as well as the possibility of any restraining orders being filed in Atlantic County by either of the two people.

Potatoes and Christmas trees…..
Before leaving Quebec City, we had to find a Walmart so that we could buy a voucher to enable us to top up our phone – they won’t accept foreign credit cards for online payment. Glenda’s limited French came to the rescue when explaining what we needed, and fairly soon we were on the road to New Brunswick.
According to a couple we met on our travels, some young Australian travellers they had met had been astounded at the number of trees. And frankly, one can understand why – New Brunswick is like the land of the Christmas tree. Hills and dales on either side of the road are covered by trees of all shades of green.
Apart from one fairly significant mishap along the way – the short version being Glenda left her phone in the washroom cubicle at McDonalds and Walter broke all road rules getting back to collect it – we had a pleasant drive to Florenceville, our stop for the night.
Visiting with relatives….
Margaret, daughter of Brian and Meta whom we stayed with on Vancouver Island, lives is Bath, a small village alongside the Saint John River. Unfortunately, her husband and sons were out of town for the weekend, but we were able to catch up with her and daughter, Julie, which was nice. We met them at their lovely white house along side the river and typical of the area and wandered down to the local diner – called Diner Down Under and with a kangaroo as the logo. Nothing to do with Australia, just that the diner is down stairs underground! We attended their church the following day and were given a huge welcome – added to because we were from Australia and also because Margaret’s husband in the pastor.
We spent the night at a bed and breakfast just outside nearby Florenceville-Bristol, home to the corporate headquarters of McCain foods, the largest producer of french fries in the world.
The property had been owned by Peter McCain and was absolutely gorgeous. Ruth and Ian, current owners and friends of Brian and Meta, were wonderful hosts. They have a magnificent and elegant home.
Crossing the Saint John River….
New Brunswick has a stock of covered bridges, a number of which were located around the Florenceville area. We had a long chat to a lady walking her dog as she took our photo at the Hartland Bridge, the world’s longest covered bridge.

Documentation of Zenzontepec Chatino Language and Culture
|Affiliation||University of Texas at Austin|

Summary of the collection
This project produced transcribed and analyzed texts from Zenzontepec Chatino (CZN), the most divergent Chatino language (Otomanguean), spoken in the southern Sierra Madre of Oaxaca, Mexico (16°32″N, 97°30″W). There are about 8,000 speakers, but communities are shifting to Spanish. The corpus will document naturally occurring narrative, dialogue, ritual speech, traditional medicine, ethnobiological information, and geographic knowledge. The texts are the basis of a descriptive grammar, augment a tri-lingual dictionary in progress, and are to be shared with the community in printed booklets, CDs, and through archival. Native speakers will be trained in documentation methods and transcription.
The Chatino people of Santa Cruz Zenzontepec, an indigenous community in the Southern Sierra Madre mountains of Oaxaca State, Mexico.
Zenzontepec Chatino (ISO 639-3 czn), is referred to as tsá’ jnyá in the language itself. Chatino is a group of languages of the Zapotecan language family of the Otomanguean stock.
As Chatino is a tonal language, the following characters have been used to indicate phonetic qualities:
- High tone is marked by (!) after a vowel
- Mid tone is (_) after a vowel
- Vowels with no following special character bear no lexical tone
- Vowel nasalization is written as & after a vowel
- Compound boundaries are (=)
- Prefixes are xxx- (hyphen, with no space)
- Enclitics are ” -xxx” (space then hyphen)
The deposit materials were created by a team made up of a non-native speaker linguist and native speaker community members.
The primary content of the corpus is a collection of audio recordings of naturalistic speech of a wide range of genres, including but not limited to: folk tales; traditional beliefs; dialogue; advice giving; personal narrative; history; and description of local geography, agricultural practices, religion, traditional medicine, the indigenous political system, norms of social interaction, family values, crafts, and music. Many texts contain social commentary and reflections on how the language, culture, and biodiversity of the region are threatened and changing. Many recordings also contain metadocumentary recountings of the trajectory of the language documentation project from a native speaker documenter’s perspective. Aside from naturalistic texts, the deposit includes some recordings of elicitation sessions geared toward particular grammatical topics or example sentences that illustrate the meaning and usage of vocabulary, most of which were not elicited but spontaneously offered by a native speaker. The majority of the audio resources are accompanied by transcriptions with free translations in Spanish, and some of the resources are accompanied by photographs of the events and the participants in them.
This project was carried out alongside Anthony Woodbury’s Documentation of Chatino. As a result, there is some overlap with materials deposited in Anthony Woodbury’s deposit (http://hdl.handle.net/2196/00-0000-0000-0001-BBFF-F). This deposit contains consistent and rich metadata, as well as detailed transcription files which were not available in previous versions.
As is also the case with some materials in Woodbury’s Documentation of Chatino corpus, some of the recordings are already in AILLA – The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America, University of Texas at Austin, TX, USA. The time span covered by the materials is June 2007-April 2012.
Translations in annotation files are in Spanish. Some notes in annotation files are in English.

Combined Electricity & Gas Simulation Tool
- The combined modeling of electricity and gas networks is a unique feature of SAInt.
- Power flow simulations are combined with steady-state and dynamic hydraulic gas network simulations. The equations describing the natural gas and electricity networks are linked through coupling equations reflecting the physical interlink between the two energy vectors. The resulting system of equations is solved simultaneously.
- The coupling between electricity and gas networks is modeled at the following interfaces: Gas-fired power plants; Power-to-gas facilities (e.g., electrolyzers); Electric-driven compressor stations; Electric-driven LNG regasification terminals
- In optimization models based on steady-state conditions, the dynamic behavior of the gas system is neglected, which, however, is relevant when studying the combined operation of gas and electric power systems. The time evolution of linepack determines the level of flexibility the gas system can provide to the electric power system. In a steady-state gas model, the time derivative of the linepack is inherently zero since total gas inflow and outflow are at equilibrium. Thus, the time evolution of the linepack cannot be captured appropriately by steady-state gas models.
- Coordinated controls between electricity and gas networks can be modeled. The user can control the gas network based on an electric network variable or vice versa.

St Edwrads Canva
In this thorough Canva testimonial, I’m going to look at all the key benefits and drawbacks of an increasingly popular application for developing visual materials. Is it right for your service? Or should you stick to a expert desktop application like Adobe Photoshop?
Off: a vital concern …
What is Canva?
Canva is a visuals style application that intends to let you make aesthetic materials without requiring substantial graphic style experience. Normally, the device is used to produce social media graphics, basic video clips, presentations, slides, posters and also other aesthetic possessions– and a wide range of personalized design templates and nobility totally free pictures is supplied to help individuals do so quickly.
Unlike traditional graphic design devices like Adobe Illustrator as well as Photoshop, Canva’s learning curve is made to be extremely gentle. This implies that its function set is extra fundamental that these type of ‘pro’ remedies– yet its rates is significantly lower than them also.
Introduced in 2013 by modern technology business owner Melanie Perkins, Canva is currently a hugely popular solution for developing designs, boasting over 100 million month-to-month active individuals in over 190 nations.
Over 13 billion designs have been produced with the device and also 3,200 staff members currently benefit the business.
Exactly how does Canva function?
Canva can be used either in a web internet browser or as a downloadable app (for Mac, PC, Chromebook, iOS or Android).
It gives you three vital things to aid you produce your style:
- design templates– pre-designed layouts that you can make use of for a large range of applications ( for instance to create discussions, video clips, adverts, infographics or graphes ).
- ‘ components’– aristocracy free images, videos as well as graphics that you can contribute to your Canva design templates.
- a drag as well as drop editor that allows you move components around a design template.
In addition, Canva gives controls for editing and enhancing the colours and typefaces made use of on a design template; it likewise allows you create customized layouts.
The idea is that you merely choose a design template, drop some material into it, make a couple of tweaks and then export your layout for usage online or as a published product.
However just how simple is this in practice?
Have you seen our video clip testimonial of Canva?

Reduce of use.
When you log into Canva, you exist with a question: ‘What will you develop?’.
The Canva control panel.
You can address this concern by entering design ideas in the search bar given, or clicking the symbols underneath it to gain access to recommended layouts for discussions, social networks articles, video clips, printed products and also even more.
Canva layout kind icons.

Either way, you’ll wind up with a large range of themes to pick from. You can select among these as the beginning point for your design.
From there, it’s a instance of modifying the layout to ensure that it satisfies your demands. You can do this by clicking one of the design’s aspects (text, visuals etc) and utilizing the controls that appear above it to alter that element.

Alternatively, you can change the placeholder material with your very own pictures or text (or include extra photos and also duplicate).
To add an image, you can either search for an element from Canva’s ‘ components’ collection (hundreds of thousands are offered, and also I’ve yet ahead throughout a search phrase that isn’t adequately provided for).
You simply click on an element to add it to your design, as well as you can resize it conveniently to suit your objectives.
Searching for Canva components.
Searching for Canva style aspects.
Where changing text is worried, it’s simply a situation of overwriting the existing copy, or making use of the ‘text’ device ( envisioned listed below) to include new headings or body text.
Including text aspects.
Including text aspects.
Eventually, the procedure involved in creating a design in Canva is simple and also its interface is extremely user-friendly– any individual who’s made use of a word processor or a basic graphics tool will certainly discover the understanding contour rather non-existent.
( It’s also worth explaining that the fact that Canva’s user interface is readily available in over 130 languages aids matters from an ease-of-use point of view also).
It’s fair to claim that Canva fulfills its objective of making visuals layout available to non-designers.
What concerning including your very own properties to Canva?
A essential purpose of Canva is to offer you everything you need to create layouts all in one place– images, video clips, fonts, templates and so on– it also allows you import your own properties too.
This can be done using its ‘uploads’ area, which permits you to import photos, video clips or sound to your Canva account. (It likewise allows you tape a video clip of on your own).
The ‘Uploads’ feature.
The ‘Uploads’ function in Canva.
As soon as you’ve uploaded an property, you can merely get it from the ‘images,’ ‘ video clips’ as well as ‘audio’ tabs supplied and also put it right into your jobs.
You can additionally add your own custom typefaces to Canva– I discuss this in even more deepness quickly.
Picture modifying alternatives in Canva.
When you’ve included a photo to a layout, you can fine-tune it quickly making use of Canva’s image modifying tool (you simply click on a picture and after that an ‘edit picture’ switch to do so).
Editing a picture in Canva.
Editing a photo in Canva.
This provides you access to a set of basic controls that let you alter that photo’s appearance in different ways. Sliders to adjust contrast, saturation as well as illumination are offered, and also you can also utilize Instagram-style filters.
Photo controls in Canva.

There’s also a convenient ‘ history cleaner’ device that allows you remove/ replace the history from pictures. This is particularly beneficial for producing headshot images for web sites, or thumbnails for YouTube videos.
Canva’s history removal device at work.
Canva’s background removal tool at work.
Just like much else in Canva, the photo editing and enhancing controls are significantly of a ‘cut-down’ nature. They include the tools that are probably of a lot of importance to the bulk of users.
Editing and enhancing video clips in Canva.
Along with allowing you create ‘static’ styles, Canva lets you create videos also. The procedure for video clip production operates in a generally comparable method to making static web content– you pick a design template, fine-tune it, and also add clips to your video clip as required.
Video layout examples.
Video theme examples.
Clips can either be imported to Canva’s uploads section, or you can include them from its considerable library of supply videos (which you’ll discover in its ‘Elements’ area). You can utilize your cam to tape video straight right into Canva.
Surfing supply videos in Canva.
Browsing stock videos in Canva.
The clips themselves can be fine-tuned– for example, you can chop, turn or animate them. However one particular ‘tweaking’ feature that’s worth selecting as being particularly excellent is Canva’s new video clip history removal function ( imagined listed below).
Utilizing the video clip history elimination tool in Canva.
Making use of the video clip background elimination tool in Canva.
Although this is simply offered in BETA mode for now, and only collaborates with video clips that are 90 seconds or less in size, it’s extremely reliable at stripping out busy histories behind audio speakers– as well as just as easy to use as Canva’s history elimination device for static pictures.
As soon as you’ve obtained your video clips in position, a timeline allows you drag and drop them right into area, trim them and also develop your final edit. You can also include sound to your video from a royalty-free library of over 25,000 opus/ sound effects.
Canva video clip editing and enhancing timeline.
Canva video modifying timeline.
Although the video production capability available from Canva is nowhere near as substantial as that which you would certainly discover in a committed video clip modifying application– you will not have the ability to play with a vast array of changes, or skillfully quality your video clip web content, for example– it’s extremely functional, and the built-in supply video clips as well as audio collections can aid individuals conserve a great deal of time and money.
Just how to access a 45-day free test of Canva Pro.
Canva generally makes a 30-day complimentary test of the ‘Pro’ version available.
Nonetheless, for a restricted time only, you can access a 45-day free trial of Canva Pro right here. This gives you access to all Canva’s premium style devices, along with a substantial library of supply photos, graphics, video and audio.
Creating graphes in Canva.
Although Canva is commonly thought of as a go-to tool for developing social media graphics, it provides you some truly helpful ( and also often ignored) features for developing graphs as well as graphes as well.
You can develop up to 11 different kinds of chart utilizing Canva, consisting of bar charts, line charts, pie charts, histograms and even more.
The feature is extraordinarily easy to use– you just enter your information right into a table on the left hand side of the Canva user interface, which Canva then immediately develops into a chart or graph (see screenshot listed below).
These can be exported to a selection of file formats, or embedded on web sites through a code fragment (the last approach of presentation providing you a way to update your information in Canva as well as reveal the most up to date charts on your website immediately).
Creating a chart in Canva.
Developing a graph in Canva.
For me, this is a standout feature of the device that gives you a truly straightforward way to existing data in an extremely attractive, on-brand method.
You can discover more concerning producing charts with Canva right here.
Exporting your jobs.
Once you’ve developed your design or video in Canva, you can export it to a selection of styles, specifically:.
- PDF (low-res as well as print top quality).
- PPTX (via an app– much more on this later).
To be straightforward, by comparison to specialist layout devices ( or perhaps similar ‘prosumer’ tools like Adobe Express), this is quite a tiny variety of output formats, and stands for among the vital disadvantages of Canva.
If you use a professional graphics or video editing bundle, you’ll have the ability to export your web content right into just about any kind of layout going– but Canva truly limits your choices here.
Canva result alternatives.
Significantly, you can’t export to Adobe Photoshop’s PSD layout, implying that if you wish to begin a layout off in Canva and afterwards send it to a specialist graphic designer for enhancement, you’re out of luck. (Workarounds for resolving this circumstance exist– including converting documents to PDF and also using third-party devices to different layers out– however they’re cumbersome).
And also just one video export layout is supplied: MP4 ( without any alternatives offered to readjust its size or quality).
Now, to be fair, Canva does cover the essentials with its outcome formats, and also a great deal of its users will not actually require a lot of added ones; the crucial goal of the item is to let people produce quickly, as well as export merely. For most applications, the series of export layouts will certainly be great ( specifically if you’re using Canva to produce content that’s predestined to be eaten online).
However some individuals will miss out on the flexibility to output in a format of their own deciding on.
And also speaking of versatility …
Canva’s Magic Resize tool.
A particularly useful attribute of Canva is its ‘Magic Resize’ tool, which lets you repurpose existing layouts for different platforms actually quickly. You can take an existing style, and after that use the Magic Resize tool to instantly reformat it to fit various social media channels.
In other words you can usually turn a blog post banner right into a Facebook post image or a YouTube video thumbnail simply by clicking a button.
The below video offers you an overview of just how the feature works.
Installing Canva jobs.
It’s essential to note that you do not constantly have to export your Canva job to a data style. To do this, you simply order a snippet of code from Canva and also include it to your internet site.
Ensuring brand consistency with Canva.
As we’ve seen over, Canva gives customers with a great deal of tools and content to develop advertising products with– layouts, graphics, stock pictures, video clips etc. Theoretically, you might utilize all these to create your assets, without requiring to consider anything else.
You could also use Canva to produce an whole brand name identification– i.e., produce a logo design in Canva; specify a color palette; as well as select font styles for your brand name from the extensive range supplied within the system.
‘ recommended’ brand name identifications are offered from Canva– color combinations and typefaces.
Available schemes/ brand name identities in Canva.
Readily available combinations/ brand name identities in Canva.
Yet in practice, many businesses will certainly require to configure Canva so that they can create designs that mirror an existing brand name identity.
To this end, Canva offers you with the option to produce a ‘brand set.’.
Canva’s brand kit function.
Canva’s brand name set attribute.
This lets you:.
- include a brand name logo design.
- specify a color combination.
- publish your very own typeface.
On paid-for plans, you can create numerous brand name packages (100 on the ‘Canva Pro’ strategy, and 300 on ‘Canva for Teams’).
As soon as your brand name kit is in area, whenever you’re developing in Canva, you can use/ include any of these brand name properties to your design.
Using brand font styles.
Using typefaces from a brand set.
On the ‘Canva for Teams’ plan, you also get a couple of various other attributes in the ‘Brand’ section to aid you maintain brand name consistency throughout your layouts:.
- a ‘brand templates’ area, where you can create as well as keep multiple-use on-brand design templates.
- a ‘brand controls’ section ( imagined below), where you can restrict your staff member’ capability to make use of shades or typefaces that are not part of your official brand guidelines.
Canva’s ‘brand controls’ function.
Canva’s ‘ brand name controls’ feature.
If you have any other brand name assets that you regularly utilize as part of your branding– as an example photographs, histories etc, these can be contributed to the ‘uploads’ section of Canva.
To be straightforward, I ‘d probably like if these components could additionally be contributed to the brand name set (perhaps under a ‘brand properties’ heading or comparable).
Otherwise the brand package works very well and aids guarantee all the materials you produce with Canva are strongly on brand.
Try Canva Pro absolutely free– for 45 days.
For a minimal time only, Canva are making a 45-day totally free trial of Canva Pro offered to our readers. This offers you complete access to all the Canva Pro features as well as possessions for several weeks, and lets you export all your designs too.

Organizing job and also teaming up in Canva.
Organizing your operate in Canva is pretty uncomplicated. A simple folder framework lets you create folders that house your layouts.
If you’re on a ‘Canva for Teams’ strategy, these folders can be shown to other employee, that can after that edit any kind of designs that they have. This operates in a similar means to Dropbox and also other sharing services– you merely share a folder with a employee by entering their e-mail address right into the folder’s settings.
Sharing folders in Canva.
One point you’ll require to note here is that to share a folder with a employee, you have to develop a ‘ group’ in Canva initially.
A group set up in Canva.
A group developed in Canva.
The ‘Canva for Teams’ strategy gives you 5 user accounts by default, with surcharges applying when you include a lot more employee accounts to your plan.
( More details on Canva rates momentarily!).
Can you back up a Canva task?
Canva uses a traditional files and also folder based approach to arranging your layout, it’s important to note that there isn’t really a means to back up your jobs using the system.
You can recuperate erased files for a collection duration– after removing a style, it’s kept in a garbage folder for 30 days prior to being completely erased (if you erase a team, that team and also its content can be recuperated for up to 14 days).
While these grace periods are welcome, they’re no substitute for being able to back up your projects to a gadget and also reimport them in the event of accidental deletion of a job (or loss of access to a Canva account).
Yes, you can export your files to PNGs, JPGs etc– however these will flatten all the layers in your design, implying that when you re-import them to Canva, they’re no more editable.
Constructing a website with Canva.
In addition to having the ability to produce aesthetic assets with Canva, you can technically utilize it to construct sites as well.
Designing a website in Canva.
Designing a site in Canva.
It has to be claimed however that only really straightforward web sites can be developed with the system– you can develop a one-page website ‘brochure’ site with Canva, yet that’s about it. The websites that you can make with Canva look on-brand and really expert , however you can ignore integrating things like a intricate navigating framework or ecommerce right into them.
Simply put, although you can produce a straightforward online presence with Canva ( and also a lot of people have: over 2 million, according to Canva), it does not give you the sort of specialist site structure features that website builders like Shopify and Squarespace provide.
The website designer might be appropriate for some individuals’ needs, nevertheless– if all you require is a fundamental resume site with some copy as well as a few pictures, it’ll get the job done fine. Over 670 web design layouts are readily available which you can populate with web site content quickly.
When you’ve created your website, you can either release it to a totally free Canva site address (yoursitename.my.canva.site), purchase a new domain for it via Canva (using the desktop variation just), or map it to a domain you already own.
Posting a website built in Canva.

Making products with Canva.
One more interesting facet of Canva is the truth that you can in fact manufacture physical items utilizing the system.
To do this, you most likely to its ‘Print products’ area, where a variety of products can be designed (35 different products in overall) as well as purchased.
These consist of:.
- shopping bag.
- welcoming cards.
- stationery ( note pads, pamphlets, journals and so on).
- picture gifts (books, mugs, prints and so on).
- marketing printables consisting of backyard indicators as well as retracting banners.
Designing hoodies in Canva.
Creating hoodies in Canva.
In a wonderful ‘ honest’ touch, Canva runs an environmental plan to counter the ecological effect of making a product via the system: for every single order made, Canva plants one tree.
Eventually though, I would certainly view Canva’s product manufacturing option as a ‘ good to have’ attribute as opposed to a core one, however.
First, all the products readily available are quite costly, indicating that you can not truly make something, mark up on it, and offer it to someone else. The expense price of a tee is around $25, for example.
Second, the number you can order at the same time is covered– when testing the function, any type of thing I tried to manufacture was limited to 50 duplicates. This makes the choice improper for anyone wishing to mass produce things.
Apps as well as combinations .
Like a great deal of various other SaaS ( software program as a service) products, Canva gives a variety of applications as well as assimilations that add capability or help it incorporate extra nicely with other prominent solutions.
Sometimes of composing, 112 are currently readily available, which you’ll locate in its ‘app directory,’ visualized listed below.
Canva’s app directory.
Canva’s application directory site.
The apps on offer usually are to do with including unique results to your pictures, or retouching them.
Picture enhancement apps.
Picture improvement apps for Canva.
The assimilations readily available normally help you import pictures or video clips from other apps right into Canva. For instance, you can connect your Canva account to services like Google Photos, YouTube, Facebook as well as Google Maps and also bring material in from them (which you can after that integrate into your designs).
Instances of Canva combinations.
Instances of Canva assimilations.
A especially beneficial app for several individuals will certainly be the ‘Smartmockups’ one. This lets you see how your layout will certainly search in context in the ‘ real life’– for instance on a book cover, in a picture frame, in a smart device etc.; it can work as a integrated alternative to the similar ‘PlaceIt’ mockup generator.
The ‘Smartmockups’ application.
The ‘Smartmockups’ application lets you see just how your Canva style will look in a real-world context.
A Microsoft Powerpoint application that lets you export your Canva jobs conveniently into PPTX layout deserves a specific mention– this will be available in useful for a lot of Microsoft 365 individuals. And also it’s excellent: in my examinations, I was shocked to discover that when I utilized the app to export a Canva presentation to PowerPoint, the exported version looked precisely just how it carried out in Canva (see screenshot below).
Utilizing PowerPoint to edit a presentation created in Canva.
Utilizing PowerPoint to edit a discussion created in Canva.
( As for importing PowerPoint discussions back right into Canva, this is feasible as well– however only if you use the desktop computer variation of Canva. You ought to additionally keep in mind that this function is readily available in BETA setting just for now).
Strangely however, I could not discover any type of Canva applications for the leading internet site building contractors, like WordPress, Wix, Squarespace as well as Shopify. These are all solutions that can possibly gain from an integration with Canva, since it is so helpful for producing web graphics and also blog site banners.
Email marketing solutions are catered for, nevertheless– integrations are readily available for prominent tools like Mailchimp, Constant Contact and also Activity Messenger.
If the applications on offer aren’t enough for you, you might always consider developing your very own– a programmer’s platform for Canva offers accessibility to the platform’s API and allows you produce your very own ‘content extensions’ that let you integrate Canva with other devices in different ways. (Obviously you’ll need the development skills to do this.).
Using Canva on cellphones.
As you’ll have observed from the screenshots on this message, I’ve mostly based this Canva evaluation on the browser-based variation of the application (for the record, the desktop computer versions for Mac OS and Windows are very similar to to this).
You can nonetheless likewise make use of Canva on a mobile phone, thanks to iphone and also Android apps that are offered for the platform.
The iOS version of Canva.
The iOS variation of Canva.
These in fact score incredibly extremely on the Apple as well as Google Play app stores (4.9 and also 4.8 respectively); these rankings are the highest I’ve seen for any mobile app for a SaaS item that we’ve assessed.
And also, having had a experiment with the iOS variation of Canva, I can see why the mobile apps are so popular with their users. The mobile version I examined was actually easy to use, with an user interface that was extremely similar in nature to the desktop variation (albeit squashed down a little bit!).
And also we are not talking about a cut-down variation of the system below; you can do severe collaborate with Canva on a smartphone.
That claimed, I would certainly still be inclined to make use of the browser or desktop-based variation of Canva any place possible: editing and enhancing pictures and videos on a phone is rather fiddly and I do not delight in doing that much!
For people that are on the step and also desire to place with each other a slick-looking video for social media platforms actually quickly, Canva’s mobile applications are an excellent option.
There are 2 ways to get customer support from Canva.
Initially, there’s the Canva aid center, which includes a searchable archive helpful sources and also how-to guides.
The Canva help facility
The Canva help facility.
There’s likewise email assistance. The type for this is very easy to gain access to– with some other online apps, you do not get to see contact information until you’ve browsed a aid facility for a option to your trouble first, however Canva makes the them really easy to discover (googling ‘ get in touch with Canva assistance’ ought to sort you out rather rapidly).
Calling Canva’s client support team
Contacting Canva’s consumer support team
In regards to turnaround times for support queries, these vary according to plan:
- Canva Pro– within 24 hrs
- Canva for Teams– top priority support within 24 hrs
- Publish– within 24 hrs
- Nonprofit as well as Education– within 48 hours
- Canva Free– 1 week
It’s a shame that phone or live support isn’t offered, however the fact that customers of the Canva free plan obtain support is commendable, and also provided the reduced prices factor of Canva, it’s rather reasonable that customer care is email-only.
As well as speaking of rates …
Pricing and worth for money
Until now, we’ve checked out all the crucial functions of Canva; however not its prices. Let’s dive into that now.
Canva rates plans
There are three primary variations of Canva to take into consideration:
- Canva Free– $0 each month
- Canva Pro– $12.99 each month (for one customer).
- Canva for Teams– Variable rates (starting at $14.99 monthly for as much as 5 individuals).
If you spend for your Canva plan on an yearly basis, a discount of 16% is used.
Based on a vetting procedure, cost-free or affordable plans are supplied to academic companies; as well as non-profits can make use of Canva free of charge.
Canva rates table.
Canva pricing table.
In terms of the differences in between these three plans, the vital things to keep an eye out for are as follows:.
- Seats– the variety of individuals varies by plan, with the cost-free strategy and also Canva Pro both supplying just one user account, and also the ‘Canva for Teams’ plan allowing you acquire numerous seats.
- Templates– the paid-for plans provide you significantly much more design templates than the complimentary one. You get a whopping 610,000 themes to have fun with on the ‘Canva Pro’ as well as ‘Canva for Teams’ plans (but you still obtain accessibility to a really charitable 250,000 totally free layouts on the $0 plan).
- Images as well as video clips — the paid-for strategies give you accessibility to over 100+ million supply video clips, pictures and graphics ; the totally free strategy provides you a large variety of pictures as well as graphics (‘ thousands of thousands,’ according to Canva), yet no videos.
- Brand packages– if you intend to utilize your very own brand name shades as well as font styles quickly in Canva, you’ll require to be on a paid-for plan. On the ‘Pro’ strategy, you can develop up to 100 Brand kits; on the ‘Canva for Teams’ strategy, the limit is 300.
- Storage room– the cost-free plan offers you 5GB of cloud storage space; the ‘Pro’ strategy gives 1TB; as well as on the ‘Canva for Teams’ strategy, you obtain 1TB per user.
- Transparent backgrounds– if you intend to output a style with a transparent history, you’ll require to be on a premium strategy.
- User controls– only the ‘Canva for Teams’ plan supplies controls over what can be uploaded to or modified in Canva.
- Assistance– as discussed above, response times are quicker if you’re on a pro version of Canva (with turnaround time for inquiries being significantly quicker on the ‘Canva for Teams’ strategy).
( Note: our Canva Pro vs Free contrast spells some of these feature distinctions out in even more detail).
Value for cash.
There’s no question regarding it: Canva uses you a great deal of bang for your buck.
For a relatively small monthly cost, you can take pleasure in access to a variety of design devices and also visual possessions that allow you produce extremely expert outcomes, incredibly swiftly.
Not simply you, necessarily– 5 seats are consisted of by default on a $14.99 ‘Canva for Teams’ account. By any stretch, this represents excellent value, particularly for small business owners on low spending plans.
As well as, when you consider that a monthly charge of $12.99 to $14.99 is often less than what you would certainly spend for just one supply photo from Getty or iStock, but gives you access to millions of supply photos as well as video clips, this sense of value for money becomes a lot more noticable.
It’s worth mentioning however that strangely, Canva becomes extra costly on a per-user basis if you buy much more accounts (the reverse is usually the instance with other applications). If you have 5 customers in your Canva account, the average month-to-month fee per user is just $2.99. If you boost the number of individuals to 50, the per-user price rises to $12.85 per user.
Nevertheless, you require to bear in mind that many service apps needing a regular monthly membership normally cost a lot more than Canva– the SEO applications we evaluate, for instance, commonly vary from $99 to $400 per month in rate, and also feature extremely small seat counts. Despite Canva’s a little unusual strategy to seat prices, I’m still struggling to believe of any item that we’ve reviewed to date that uses fairly so much performance for such a reduced price.
Canva evaluation verdict.
Overall, Canva is a truly strong, user friendly app that is loaded with functions that make creating aesthetic properties simple. Whilst not constantly a replacement for a expert visuals style tool or video clip editing and enhancing application, it is substantially less complicated to use than such tools, and also in numerous contexts will get the job done equally as well as them ( as well as more cheaply, also).
The primary disadvantages of Canva are the truth that it’s result styles are restricted; there’s no chance to support projects; as well as assistance is email-only. Of those three problems, the result styles problem is the most considerable, as it limits your capacity to begin a design in Canva and also have it rounded off by a expert designer in another app. Yet offered how economical Canva is, it’s difficult to feel as well annoyed by these noninclusions.
I’ll leave you with a recap of the crucial advantages and disadvantages of Canva, and you’ll additionally discover some info on some alternative devices below.
Our overall rating: 4.6/ 5.

Alternatives to Canva.
There are quite a few alternatives to Canva readily available.
In regards to browser-based applications, vital alternatives include Visme, Adobe Creative Cloud Express (formerly Adobe Spark) and VistaCreate ( previously Crello). These are similarly budget-friendly visuals design devices that allow non-professional designers develop visual product easily. (We’ve yet to review all of them however we do have Visme vs Canva and Adobe Express vs Canva comparisons available.).
It’s tempting to consider desktop Adobe applications like Photoshop, Illustrator as well as Premiere ( and also various other devices you enter an Adobe Creative Cloud registration) as direct options to Canva. They are in fact quite different beasts.
While Canva comes with a integrated collection of graphics, supply pictures as well as video clips, when utilizing the Adobe apps, you often need to resource possessions ‘outside’ of them. However they are nonetheless excellent tools for placing visual possessions together with, as well as at the end of the day, significantly a lot more useful than Canva.
Website design devices.
Canva can technically be utilized as a internet layout tool, the truth is that there significantly better platforms offered for developing websites– just a couple of examples consist of Squarespace, Webflow, Wix and also Shopify.
It’s worth aiming out nonetheless that strangely, Canva becomes extra pricey on a per-user basis if you buy more accounts (the reverse is usually the situation with various other applications). If you have 5 individuals in your Canva account, the typical regular monthly fee per customer is simply $2.99. The primary drawbacks of Canva are the reality that it’s outcome layouts are limited; there’s no method to back up tasks; as well as assistance is email-only. Of those 3 flaws, the output styles issue is the most substantial, as it restricts your capability to start a style in Canva and have it finished off by a specialist developer in an additional app. (We’ve yet to examine all of them but we do have Visme vs Canva and Adobe Express vs Canva contrasts available.).
In this thorough Canva testimonial, I’m going to look at all the essential pros as well as disadvantages of an progressively popular application for creating aesthetic materials. It’s crucial to note that you do not constantly have to export your Canva job to a file format. To do this, you merely order a fragment of code from Canva and also add it to your site. Doing so will certainly present your job– yet most importantly, mirror any type of modifications that you make to it in Canva automatically.
For a minimal time only, Canva are making a 45-day totally free trial of Canva Pro available to our visitors.

Despite a controversy regarding their validity, most opinion polls are indicating that the Congress may be heading for one of its worst electoral defeats in independent India. The poor performance of the Congress is often attributed to two sets of factors. The first points to the UPA’s poor performance in power, the high command culture that has not allowed the emergence of “home grown” talents at the state level, and elements of dynastic rule at multiple levels.
The second set attributes the Congress’s looming losses to the fraying of the ideological centre of Indian politics that was most closely associated with the Congress party.
While there is some truth to both these claims, in our view, the Congress faces a far deeper structural problem during the 2014 elections. Without a distinct political message, the Congress is indeed facing a clear challenge from a resurgent right-wing BJP and the weaker Left. The far bigger challenge for the Congress is, however, from regional parties like the Aam Aadmi Party that seek to occupy a place within the same centrist space as the Congress. The emergence of these centrist parties has hurt the Congress far more than either the BJP or the Left.
Why is the Congress being hurt more by the emergence of new political parties? The regional parties that have emerged in a majority of Indian states often have an ideological underpinning that is not at all different from the Congress’s. This raises two questions. First, why were these regional parties able to populate the same centrist spot as the Congress? Second, what are the consequences of the rise of these regional parties for the Congress?
Regional parties were able to populate the centrist space occupied by the Congress because the Congress party, even in the days before independence, was primarily a collection of regional elites. Its presence on the ground was much thinner in princely India compared to the areas that were under British control. After independence, Nehru followed a very similar model as Gandhi’s to nurse the Congress party organisation.
The party’s organisation was weak and Congress documents from that era point to the absence of district-level organisations in many parts of India. Party membership of the Congress in the 1950s and early 1960s fluctuated with election cycles. The number of party members (the membership fee was 25 paise then) was always higher in the years before the elections. This was because the multiple candidates seeking a Congress nomination populated the list of members with their respective supporters. Once the election was over, there was no need to retain members.
By the end of the 1950s, the left and the right elements had left the Congress. The decline of the Congress in the mid-1960s was followed by an electoral resurgence engineered by Indira Gandhi. This resurgence was made possible by an unprecedented expansion of the state. The expansion of the state allowed the Congress to incorporate many more regional elites within the party. The centrist position associated with the party became synonymous with bringing in as many regional elites as possible to share the spoils of government. A good indicator of this is the rapid expansion of state cabinets and public-sector appointments for politicians.
As soon as the raison d’etre of the Congress was linked to positions of power for regional elites, those regional or powerful political elites who felt they were being sidelined in Indira Gandhi’s regime started forming their own political outfits. As electoral competition intensified and smaller parties could gain more power by supporting a bigger party in a coalition, it became much more attractive for political elites representing group interests to move out of the Congress umbrella and demand a larger share of the pie than they would have received if they had stayed within the party. These elites do not have an ideological position different from the Congress — all they seek is political power.
This shift has had enormous consequences for the Congress. We present data from the National Election Study of 2009 conducted by the CSDS, Delhi in Table 1 and Table 2. As the Congress party’s performance during the 2009 Lok Sabha elections has been exceptional since its continuous decline after the 1984 elections (except in 1991, when the party did well in the last phase of the elections owing to a sympathy wave in the wake of Rajiv Gandhi’s killing), one would expect that the Congress would be at its peak on most indicators.
Table 1 suggests that party identification with the Congress is the lowest (24 per cent) in states where two or more centrist parties are present, and the highest (48 per cent) in states where the BJP is its main competitor. Similarly, the proportion of party members who are affiliated with the Congress is the lowest in states where centrist parties are in a dominant position in comparison to states where the BJP is its main competitor.
The Congress’s social base is also very limited in states where there are more than two centrist parties. Table 2 shows that in states where the BJP is its main competitor, the Congress has a broader social base. It gets a substantial proportion of votes from upper castes and OBCs (approximately 40 per cent), draws up more than half of the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), and gets around three-fourths of Muslim votes. In states with one centrist party, the Congress still maintains the broad social coalition but gets a slightly lower proportion of votes from all segments. In states where there are two centrist parties, the Congress has a very limited social base. It gets less than one-fourth of votes among upper castes and OBCs, less than one-fifth among SCs, and less than one-third among STs and Muslims. We also find that states with more than two centrist parties have higher electoral volatility (the net change in the vote-share of a party from one election to the next) compared to where the Congress faces the BJP.
The Congress needs the BJP for its electoral relevance. In states where the Congress faces challenges from regional parties that are centrist, the Congress faces a far harder task of rebuilding a social coalition that represents everyone. This, as we argue, is because the Congress enjoyed a hegemonic status in Indian politics primarily because it was a collection of regional elites. The fragmentation of the Indian party system is largely a result of the failure to accommodate political elites from different sections of society. This has three implications. First, party-building through local elites requires keeping everyone happy and therefore populist politics becomes part of the system. Second, social groups in such political systems are accommodated via elites and thus the polity becomes leader-centric. Third, leader-centric polities rely heavily on clientelistic networks. This system gradually undermines the administrative structures of the state. As the bureaucratic machinery loosens, its autonomy is compromised, government policies are rarely implemented fairly and corruption becomes endemic. The election campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha is witnessing a playing out of these three implications. It is also forcing us to re-imagine the historical understanding of party-building and democratic deepening in India.

Yes, I might agree, there may be actually no such factor as a pay as you go debit card with no charges, however there are fairly a couple of pay as you go debit playing cards that come shut. Many of those playing cards are very simple to acquire however some do have loads of charges related to there use usually requiring direct deposit and minimal stability to eradicate most or all charges. Here are a few of your finest choices for my part:
The Walmart Money Card could be obtained at any taking part Walmart or you possibly can apply on-line. With only a $ three.00 month-to-month charge and really low transaction charges it charges extremely as a card that’s simple to load at any taking part Walmart particularly in case you stay near Walmart. Reload charges could be waived whenever you money an eligible payroll or authorities test or it’s also possible to load your card with a Green Dot MoneyPak. Walmart has been offering low cost merchandise to many customers for years and having a Walmart Money Card may make your purchasing expertise there that a lot simpler.
Rushcard by Russell Simmons hits you with a $ 19.95 activation charge proper of the bat. If this isn’t sufficient to make you leery of pay as you go debit playing cards I have no idea what’s. Some of the opposite charges that could be charged to your card are a month-to-month charge, card charge, plan change charge and specific money charge. I actually wouldn’t be proud of all these charges and don’t really feel such as you the patron ought to have to choose your poison. There are playing cards which are free to join, have cheap or no charges and supply money again, bonuses and rewards.
NetSpend is the main supplier of pay as you go debit playing cards within the USA and could be present in over 10,00zero shops and test cashing facilities within the US The pay as you go debit GraspCard that I’ve is free to join, has no month-to-month charges until you select that plan . Credit transactions are $ 1.00, pin transactions are $ 2.00 and NetSpend cardholder to cardholder transfers are completely free. NetSpend even provides a referral bonus to new cardholders as a approach to reimburs you for a few of these charges. NetSpend is one of the best pay as you go debit card for my part however do select your individual card correctly.
Most pay as you go debit playing cards don’t require a credit score test or report any info referring to your use or charge cost historical past to the credit score bureau so good or unfavorable credit ratings just isn’t a problem. So in case you are trying to rebuild your credit score a pay as you go debt card usually won’t do this for you. If you want a quick and handy approach to entry your money funds with out financial institution overdraft charges then select the cardboard that’s best for you.

It was a gorgeous couple chilly morning in Downtown Las Vegas, but we wanted to get that “good light” while avoiding traffic and people in the newly revitalized 18B District.
Main Street and its surrounds feature some of the city’s most interesting and energetic businesses. On the sides of buildings and down secret alleyways, there are gorgeous murals, that change every so often, which set the stage for our early morning shoot.
I might be letting the cat out of the bag by sharing this secret, but before dawn/ at sunrise is the absolute best time to take pictures in the 18B. That is, if you can get up early enough to be in hair and makeup by 4 am, and on location at 5:15. It’s worth it, I promise!
JC and I had a lot of fun working together. He had ideas in mind that translated beautifully. The weather was a little challenging because it was chilly and breezy, but we were both happy with the result.
JC is a local Las Vegas Portrait photographer, and you can see his beautiful work on his Instagram, so he sure to give him a follow!

CMU announces research project to reverse-engineer brain algorithms, funded by IARPA
February 5, 2016
Carnegie Mellon University is embarking on a five-year, $12 million research effort to reverse-engineer the brain and “make computers think more like humans,” funded by the U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The research is led by Tai Sing Lee, a professor in the Computer Science Department and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC).
The research effort, through IARPA’s Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) research program, is part of the U.S. BRAIN Initiative to revolutionize the understanding of the human brain.
A “Human Genome Project” for the brain’s visual system
“MICrONS is similar in design and scope to the Human Genome Project, which first sequenced and mapped all human genes,” Lee said. “Its impact will likely be long-lasting and promises to be a game changer in neuroscience and artificial intelligence.”
The researchers will attempt to discover the principles and rules the brain’s visual system uses to process information. They believe this deeper understanding could serve as a springboard to revolutionize machine learning algorithms and computer vision.
In particular, the researchers seek to improve the performance of artificial neural networks — computational models for artificial intelligence inspired by the central nervous systems of animals. Interest in neural nets has recently undergone a resurgence thanks to growing computational power and datasets. Neural nets now are used in a wide variety of applications in which computers can learn to recognize faces, understand speech and handwriting, make decisions for self-driving cars, perform automated trading and detect financial fraud.
How neurons in one region of the visual cortex behave
“But today’s neural nets use algorithms that were essentially developed in the early 1980s,” Lee said. “Powerful as they are, they still aren’t nearly as efficient or powerful as those used by the human brain. For instance, to learn to recognize an object, a computer might need to be shown thousands of labeled examples and taught in a supervised manner, while a person would require only a handful and might not need supervision.”
To better understand the brain’s connections, Sandra Kuhlman, assistant professor of biological sciences at Carnegie Mellon and the CNBC, will use a technique called “two-photon calcium imaging microscopy” to record signaling of tens of thousands of individual neurons in mice as they process visual information, an unprecedented feat. In the past, only a single neuron, or tens of neurons, typically have been sampled in an experiment, she noted.
“By incorporating molecular sensors to monitor neural activity in combination with sophisticated optical methods, it is now possible to simultaneously track the neural dynamics of most, if not all, of the neurons within a brain region,” Kuhlman said. “As a result we will produce a massive dataset that will give us a detailed picture of how neurons in one region of the visual cortex behave.”
A multi-institution research team
Other collaborators are Alan Yuille, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, and another MICrONS team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, led by George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School.
The Harvard-led team, working with investigators at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, MIT, and Columbia University, is developing revolutionary techniques to reconstruct the complete circuitry of the neurons recorded at CMU. The database, along with two other databases contributed by other MICrONS teams, unprecedented in scale, will be made publicly available for research groups all over the world.
In this MICrONS project, CMU researchers and their collaborators in other universities will use these massive databases to evaluate a number of computational and learning models as they improve their understanding of the brain’s computational principles and reverse-engineer the data to build better computer algorithms for learning and pattern recognition.
“The hope is that this knowledge will lead to the development of a new generation of machine learning algorithms that will allow AI machines to learn without supervision and from a few examples, which are hallmarks of human intelligence,” Lee said.
The CNBC is a collaborative center between Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh. BrainHub is a neuroscience research initiative that brings together the university’s strengths in biology, computer science, psychology, statistics and engineering to foster research on understanding how the structure and activity of the brain give rise to complex behaviors.
The MICrONS team at CMU allso includes Abhinav Gupta, assistant professor of robotics; Gary Miller, professor of computer science; Rob Kass, professor of statistics and machine learning and interim co-director of the CNBC; Byron Yu, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering and the CNBC; Steve Chase, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and the CNBC; and Ruslan Salakhutdinov, one of the co-creators of the deep belief network, a new model of machine learning that was inspired by recurrent connections in the brain, who will join CMU as an assistant professor of machine learning in the fall.
Other members of the team include Brent Doiron, associate professor of mathematics at Pitt, and Spencer Smith, assistant professor of neuroscience and neuro-engineering at the University of North Carolina.
Not all machine-intelligence experts are on board with reverse-engineering the brain. In a Facebook post today, Yann LeCun, Director of AI Research at Facebook and a professor at New York University, asked the question in a recent lecture, “Should we copy the brain to build intelligent machines?” “My answer was ‘no, because we need to understand the underlying principles of intelligence to know what to copy. But we should draw inspiration from biology.’”

Interview with Maplerun
In 2007, Greek-based alternative rock band, Maplerun debuted to rave reviews, heavy radio play and international acclaim. Seven years, three tours and two albums later, they’ve gained a strong fan base throughout Europe, capturing the attention of renowned musicians like Shadow Gallery, American Head Charge and Slayer’s Dave Lombardo. Now fresh off the release of their sophomore album, Maplerun vocalist, Nick Bountouris spoke with Music Existence to discuss the band’s origin, influences, recent releases and signing with American record label, Pavement Music.
Me: Let’s start with the band itself—Maplerun. How did you all meet? What’s the story behind the band’s name?
Nick: Me and Chris (drummer) used to play in a high school band together. When the band broke up, we decided we wanted to make our own band and play the music we love. Along the way, we brought Orestis (guitarist) into the band, who I actually met in a bar—we were both shitfaced from drinking and thought it would be a good idea to jam together! Our latest addition would be our bass player, The Moor, who we met through the Internet. After playing with countless bass players, we met The Moor and immediately knew he was the right man for the job. Initially, our band was called Headtrip. When we found out that name was already taken, we chose the name Maplerun out of a John Grisham book called The Summons. Maplerun is the house that the protagonist grew up in.
ME: Although Maplerun officially debuted in 2007, the band describes 2003-2006 as a period of “nothing but music” for a group of friends. How did this time period shape you all as musicians? At what point did Maplerun the band become a reality?
Nick: The period between 2003 – 2006 was a magical period for our lives. Chris, Orestis and myself would jam endlessly in order to find out who we are and where we wanted to go with our music. After playing songs from our favorite bands, we decided to write our own songs and see where that would take us. Throughout this period, we shaped our friendship, our sound, our first songs and had the time of our lives. When we gathered a significant number of songs that we really liked, we decided to go into the studio and record them – just for us and our friends; that was the plan. Whilst in the studio, we got offered a contract from a well-known Greek record label and decided to sign up and give it a go—I think that was the point where Maplerun became a reality.
ME: Musically, Maplerun has a very diverse sound. What musicians inspire you individually and how does each member’s own personal taste contribute to the sound of the band as a whole?
Nick: Each member of Maplerun likes different styles of music and this is the foundation of our diverse sound and the way we approach songwriting. There are many bands who we all listen to—Metallica, System of a Down, Deftones, Godsmack, Alice in Chains—just to name a few, but each one of us also likes different styles of music. Each member adapts his sounds according to what each song or album needs.
ME: In September 2007, you began recording your debut album, House On Fire. After years of playing together, what was the creative process like this time around? What inspired the sound of House On Fire? How did the process compare to years before when the four of you only played for fun?
Nick: The creative process for House on Fire was real fun, without any stress or deadline. After years of jamming, we chose our best songs; we transformed them into recording material with slight or enormous changes and went into the studio to record them. The sound of House On Fire is a reflection of ourselves at that period combined with a professional view given by our co-producer, Buttons. It is certainly different just to play music for fun than to create actual songs that will be recorded and heard by other people. However, both involve playing music—our favorite thing in the world.
ME: In earlier years, Maplerun was an entirely self-produced band. How did the band get its name out there to the public? Did you encounter any major challenges along the way?
Nick: By all means possible—we played gigs everywhere (in our home country, Greece and the rest of Europe) in order to create a fan base, get reviews and meet new people. We advertised in magazines, radios, webzines, we played TV shows and we reached out through social media (MySpace was really hot at the time). With regards to challenges, we encountered many and still do so. The key is to be true to yourself and want the absolute best for your band and band members. No matter what, you have to sacrifice.
ME: After the release of House On Fire, Maplerun enjoyed a swift rise in popularity—touring throughout Europe, radio play, your music videos enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV Greek, you were invited to the MTV Greek Headbanger’s Ball and your single, “For You” was the first Greek metal song to be on the PS3 game, Rock Band. That’s pretty impressive for a debut. So far, what stands out as one of the band’s proudest moments?
Nick: We feel really proud for each and every achievement—from the smallest gig to touring Europe—and none of that would ever happen without the support of our friends, fans and families.
ME: How has life changed for you since the band’s debut? Was fame something you found challenging to adjust to or has life remained the same?
Nick: Life hasn’t changed at all. We are not famous. Yet.
ME: Any memorable tour stories you’d like to share?
Nick: Touring is our favorite part of being in a band. You get the chance to travel to many places, present your music to different audiences every night, to meet new people and to have endless fun. We have played three European tours so far—with Shadow Gallery, with American Head Charge and RSJ, with Soil and Skindred, and each and every night had its own story. Bands, venues, alcohol, crowd, music, the endless road, flying midgets and abandoned hotels in the middle of nowhere—you name it.
ME: During your 2010 tour, Maplerun recorded a demo version of “Nails”, which would appear on your sophomore album, Restless. Restless has a heavier sound than House On Fire. What inspired the sound of Restless? How did the creation of Restless compare to the creation of House On Fire?
Nick: Restless is definitely a heavier album than House On Fire – that’s just how our music evolved. Its sound is inspired by all our favorite heavy bands – Slipknot, Stone Sour, System of a Down. Due to bad decision-making, the recording & production process of Restless lasted almost 3 years. Having to join the army (which is mandatory in our country) for 9 months and also working with a producer that didn’t meet our expectations resulted in losing a lot of valuable time. Because of all the above the creation of the album was a torture really – nothing like House On Fire.
ME: Recently, Maplerun signed to American label, Pavement Music. Now that you’ve officially broken into the American market, what is next for the band? What do you hope to achieve? Can we expect an American tour sometime in the near future?
Nick: We are very happy to be signed and represented by Pavement Music in the US. We truly hope that the American audience will dig our sound and songs. This will allow us to tour the States and possibly release our next record there in the future. Can’t wait.

So how did the first week of 2016 go?
Get sweaty? Thus far this week I've hit Barry's Bootcamp, SoulCycle and Bar Method - an outdoor run would be ideal (big 1/2 marathon plans this year) but with El Nino pounding us with rain all week long, I'm not sure it's going to happen. I remain hopeful. If not for anything else but to wear my new running beanie.
Anyway, it's that time again. Friday Faves. Week 1 of 2016. Get ready for like 52 more of these (leap year, remember?)
My plans this weekend? A whole lot of nothing. Sleeping, relaxing, some sweat, delicious food, and watching movies. All the makings of a lazy, winter weekend. End goal would be to kick this cold I'm battling. I'm nothing if not goal-oriented.
So let's do this.
First - my two favorite videos from this week:
The Nice: Taylor Swift killing it as usual and performing an acoustic version of Blank Space . "In the last couple of years the media has had a really wonderful fixation on kind of painting me as this psycho serial dater girl. It's been awesome. I loved it. It was really fun for me."
The Hilarious: Tatum take-over on Lip Sync Battle. THIS IS EVERYTHING. Jenna dances to Pony and Channing... nails it as Beyonce. Please watch. And cry laughing. I've watched it like 11 times already.
- What 9 Health Editors Actually Eat. Am I the only one endlessly fascinated with the health + wellness habits of industry pros? No? I didn't think so.
- This Evolution of Fashion is legit. Spoiler: I wear the 2015 outfit about daily.
- Have you binge-watched Netflix's Making A Murderer yet? It's INSANE. Here's 5 Things You Should Know.
- You guys. The Powerball Jackpot is at $800M. We have a 1 in 292,201,338 chance of winning it. I'll take those odds.
- Trader Joe's Ex-Pres launches grocery store that competes with fast food prices. And reduces the amount of food waste. “We’ll be doing all of this by recovering food from supermarkets, growers and food distributors that would otherwise have been wasted. Hunger & wasted food are two problems that can have one solution.”
- I wear spandex/sweatpants/joggers about every day of my life. At least they're chic? (Or at the very least, trendy?)
- A Visual Reveal of the Ingredients of 25 Popular Snack Foods. It's not pretty. You've been warned.
- I have nothing against the oven, but these Healthy No-Bake Coconut Cookies? Well, they'll win out over a baked-version any day of the week.
- I love a good one-pot meal and I love it when it goes into the slow-cooker and I don't have to think about it for 7 hours. 3-One Pot, Slow Cooker Meals you need to make. That Coconut Curry? Happening. ASAP.
- I take back everything I said about cleanses. VEGAN TACO CLEANSE FRIENDS. I'm so on board.
- Rachel is the breakfast MASTER. I can't wait to make this gorgeous smoothie bowl (and the countless others on her page!)
- Adele's gym photo is exactly how I look while in the gym. And how I would look if I had someone taking photographs of me in the gym.
- I love Cait's blog, and I love this post about her plans for 2016. Something we could all weave into our year.
- I've been lucky enough to get to know Hallie in-person, take her SoulCycle class (Chicago, she's killing it - sign up ASAP), and keep in touch via social media. Her blog is a WEALTH of information, knowledge, entertainment, and just honest and genuine content. If this isn't a regular read for you, please make it one. ASAP.
With that - have a wonderful weekend!

What is edge computing? | Opensource.com
Edge computing is poised to boost the next generation of IoT technology into the mainstream. Here’s how it works with the cloud to benefit business operations in all industries
There is much speculation about edge replacing cloud, and in some cases, it may do so. However, in many situations, the two have a symbiotic relationship.
The distributed nature of edge computing (when built right) means that along with reducing latency, it can also improves resiliency, reduces networking load, and is easier to scale.
Processing of data starts at its source, which helps to reduce latency and makes systems more realiable because networks always add latency and are never 100 per cent reliable. Once initial processing in edge computer is completed, only the data that needs further analysis or requires other services needs to be sent to cloud. This reduces networking requirements.
Over the next few years, we will see an explosion in this technology.
For example services such as AWS Lambda may be overhauled to run functions at the edge location nearest to the request’s origination point: We have already seen the first signs of this with AWS Lambda@Edge. With systems such as AWS’s Lambda@Edge, Greengrass, and Microsoft Azure IoT Edge, edge computing has become a key factor driving the adoption of technologies such as IoT.
We will also see the maturing of emerging edge technologies such as blockchain and fog computing.
As edge matures, cloud computing will grow along with it.

Bank breakups - a guide for the perplexed
Sandy Weill created the Citigroup financial supermarket in 1998 by calling the bluff of U.S. lawmakers and ignoring the Glass-Steagall Act, which limited what banks could do. Washington soon repealed the law. Now, Weill says big banks should be broken up. What gives?
