Mobile application wireframes are an essential first step for developing an app and provides a detailed and necessary roadmap for anyone looking to find investors for their mobile application idea or are the first step in putting detailed user stories together before you start the development of your application.
They provide a detailed visual guide or skeletal framework that blueprints the layout, flow, functionality, and selling points of apps to be developed; but that is really just scratching the surface of a wireframe’s many important functions that help to facilitate a smooth and efficient development process, while also marking out the app’s potential selling points to would-be investors or the development team that you are working with. In short a detailed wireframe will ensure that there is a better understanding between stakeholders and developers of what the application should do and to make sure that the stakeholders business rules are represented and are functional correct in the app before the first line of code is written.
Far from simply adding the benefit of streamlined flow to the development process and ensuring a positive and intuitive user experience, mobile application wireframes play an essential role to numerous phases of app development and also serves as the ideal proof of concept for persuading potential investors to fund the development of apps or to make sure that your development team understand what they need to create.
Let’s take a look at some of these key features of wireframes here:
Wireframes are an essential step for integrating design elements into mobile applications. The wireframe lays out everything visual about the app from colour schemes and layouts to branding and menus, to ensure that the finished product looks as good as it functions. It also helps stakeholders and developers ensure that the user experience is seamless and will make sense to the end user.
FACILITATING ITERATIVE DESIGN
There are scores of functional elements working together in a mobile app and developing them in such a way that they work as a cohesive ecosystem requires careful planning, which is exactly what a wireframe allows for.
A wireframe ensures that each element of functionality can be developed and fleshed out separately, while ensuring that they work correctly alongside other functions and fit into the design and layout for the app.
USABILITY & EXPERIENCE
One of the main functions of a wireframe is to ensure a positive experience for the end-user. The wireframe will take into account the way the app is intended to be used, how one page flows to the next, and how intuitively the user can understand the app.
The complexities of understanding user intuition and the way the app should flow are numerous, with elements that can easily be overlooked if development starts without a detailed roadmap and making necessary changes midway through development will cost time and therefore money, which is why a wireframe seeks to pre-empt and solve any potential ease-of-use issues before they occur. Wireframes are also instrumental in ensuring that negative flow is mapped out correctly so that error messages can be sent to users when they use the app incorrectly.
COMMUNICATING TO POTENTIAL INVESTORS
If you are looking for investors to fund development of your app idea, you will need to be able to present them with a detailed representation of your idea, how it will work, and why it is a project worth investing in. Pitching your idea to investors without any representation of why they should get on board is near impossible.
For many apps, an idea with a unique selling point is not enough to get investors onboard, they want to see where results might come from, and what they can expect.
To ensure the best chance of persuading investors, wireframes provide them with a visual journey of how an app works, what it does, and why it is a cause worth investing in.
NEGATIVE & POSITIVE APPLICATION FLOW
At the heart of a wireframe’s capacity for pre-emptive problem solving, is the idea of negative and positive application flow. This concept predicts what to expect when users use the app incorrectly, versus what happens when they use it as they should.
For example, if the app requires the user to enter in their banking details, a negative application flow will demonstrate how the app responds to an incorrect input, while a positive one will outline what happens if the banking details are entered in correctly.
To say that a mobile application wireframe is beneficial to an app’s development is an understatement since it represents a crucial first step for doing so. Still, a well designed and laid out wireframe can have numerous important benefits to the process of development, and how the app is received and used as a finished product:
REDUCE THE TIME AND COST OF APP DEVELOPMENT
Since the wireframe accounts for the interplay of functions, the flow the user takes when operating the app, and attempts to identify possible issues before development starts, working from a wireframe ensures that developers can arrive at an end-product more seamlessly.
Hiccups and unforeseen issues in development can significantly increase the time taken to develop an app and might even require the skills of additional developers to solve. Naturally, this results in a much higher cost of development, and will still not ensure that all issues are dealt with, or even identified.
A well-developed wireframe will ensure that there is a minimal chance of these types of delays and complications from occurring.
STREAMLINED DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
A solid wireframe provides an important blueprint for the app developers and allows larger teams of developers to work on different parts of a project cohesively.
This ensures that they can effectively work together to identify and solve problems early on in development, which again, streamlines the speed and quality of the development process.
ENSURE MOBILE APP EASE-OF-USE
Possibly the most important feature of a mobile application wireframe is that it ensures a smoother, more enjoyable user experience for the end-user. The wireframe considers how each element of the app works together and flows from one page to the next in such a way that makes it easy to use and intuitive.
This user experience factor ensures that end-users can take advantage of all functions and features, without having to frustrate themselves on learning how to operate the app.
FACILITATE ITERATIVE DESIGN
One of the most complex parts of developing an app is ensuring that all functions and features work together, especially when you consider that an app is built by teams of individuals, who all need to communicate and work together to get these separate elements to combine into a cohesive experience.
A solid wireframe will outline how these separately developed features can be implemented cohesively, even when being worked on by different developers, or in some cases, different teams of developers.
DEMONSTRATE UNIQUE SELLING POINTS
For those looking for funding to have an idea for a mobile app developed, you will need a roadmap to impress investors, and show them what the app does, how it should be used, and what its unique selling points are.
Investors want proofs of concepts, they want to know that their investment will have a high chance of success, and to do that, they will want a workable demonstration. Developing a demo app for this purpose is generally impractical and costly, which is why idea starters often look to have wireframes developed that can demonstrate key features, benefits, and selling points to potential investors.

On Friday, the NAACP and The Archewell Foundation announced the 2023 recipient of The NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award. The annual award, launched in 2022, celebrates a new generation of leaders who are creating transformational change at the intersection of social justice and technology — working to advance civil and human rights.
This year’s recipient is Nabiha Syed, CEO of The Markup, a company driving award-winning investigative coverage of how powerful institutions use technology to reshape society. The Markup’s data-driven reporting has analyzed the hidden racial bias in mortgage approval algorithms and student risk algorithms; revealed how telecom companies offer lower-income and more diverse neighborhoods slower internet speeds for the same price as other neighborhoods; and how Meta collects financial information through tax filing websites and health information from hospital systems.
As the recipient of this award, Nabiha will receive $100,000 toward advancing new work, expanding leadership and expertise, and continuing her impact in the field of digital equity.
“When we founded this award with the NAACP, we wanted to highlight and uplift people across the country who are transforming the digital world for the better. Nabiha Syed is doing just that, harnessing her own expertise to push for safer, more inclusive online communities,” said Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “Nabiha and her team are shedding light on some of the most critical issues of our time and in doing so, empowering all of us to reclaim some of our most basic freedoms: truth, safety, and choice. She’s an inspiration to us and so many others, and we’re proud to support her incredibly important work.”

The construction of the Panama Canal begins with the French. In 1875, while the United States was conducting surveys across Mexico and Nicaragua, trying to find the right canal route, France became very active and ambitious, eager to make their mark. The French spirit had been so greatly aroused by Ferdinand de Lesseps’s completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, that France decided to take the lead and attempt to conquer the Isthmus of Panama. Again, RPI Engineers were involved, in varying capacities.
Ferdinand de Lesseps was a French diplomat. During his early career he was posted to Tunisia and Egypt. In 1854 Said Pasha of Egypt gave de Lesseps permission to build the Suez Canal. De Lesseps's scheme was backed by an international commission of engineers with financial support from the French emperor Napoleon III and others. The Suez Canal opened in November 1869.
The Geographical Society of Paris organized a committee in 1876 entitled Congres International d’Etudes du Canal Interoceanic seeking international cooperation for the purpose of building an inter-oceanic canal through Panama. Having gained fame for his Suez endeavors, de Lesseps desired to repeat his success in Panama. Being a national hero, he was asked to lead the Congres and make a canal in Panama come to fruition.
The French felt that further exploration and more surveys needed to be conducted. French Navy Lieutenant Lucien N. B. Wyse was assigned by the French government to explore possible routes on the Isthmus. When Wyse arrived on the isthmus, the Colombian government assigned Pedro Sosa (RPI 1873) to the expedition as scout engineer and chief of technical control and topography. In the second survey expedition, Sosa traveled alone through the jungle. The difficulty of this exploration won him the admiration and respect of his comrades. When the expeditions were finished, the Congres agreed on a route that followed the path of the Panama Railroad, one that went straight through the continental divide, still with the conviction that a sea-level waterway was possible. The Congres met in Paris on May 15, 1879, agreeing to name the route the “Wyse-Reclus-Sosa Line”, in honor of the engineers who had mapped it. Sosa was awarded the French Legion of Honor for his work.
Few individuals on the Congres were actually engineers; the majority were diplomats. One notable engineer, Aniceto García Menocal (RPI 1862), who had always advocated for a Nicaraguan canal constructed by the United States, stood up against de Lesseps’s sea-level waterway scheme, stating how impracticable the project would be. Menocal made a brave, bold stand against the French hero, who enthralled his audience with exuberant confidence and infectious enthusiasm over conquering the terrain of Central America. De Lesseps convinced everyone (at least those who were not engineers) that a sea-level canal was possible, and work began on January 1, 1881.
In addition to Menocal and Sosa, we know of two more RPI engineers involved in the construction of the canal at this point in history. Though scant information exists, Auguste Henri Albert Millet (RPI 1867) was Chief of Technical Bureau, from February 1882 to October 1882, and then Chief of Section at Culebra (the mountain zone) from October 1882 to May 1883. John Henry Curtis (RPI 1873) also began working for the French in September 1883. According to our resources he was appointed as contractor for “the removal of Bohio Mountain” in the Panama Canal Zone.
Sadly, however, what our engineers would have seen and were exposed to is hard to imagine. Never enough of the right type of equipment for mountain terrain; a massive death toll in human lives due to yellow fever which came in two- or three-year cycles; malaria too continued to take even more lives than yellow fever. Ultimately, poor planning doomed the French to utter failure. No one understood yellow fever and malaria, and worker housing was sub-par at best. Arrogant determination to cut a sea-level waterway through the continent persisted, leading to the reckless purchase of supplies compounded by corruption and scandal.
All work on the canal ceased in 1889, and the French company in charge went bankrupt. $262,000,000 had been expended by the French, with little to show. Overall the French excavated about 22,600,000 cubic yards through the Culebra Mountains. This was the point of deepest excavation. Nevertheless the vast quantity the French excavated wasn’t even close to the amount of wet and dry earth that needed to be removed.* Ferdinand de Lesseps was indicted for fraud and sentenced to 5 years in prison although the sentence was never carried out and he died two years later, his reputation forever marred by the Panama Canal fiasco. The French debacle cast such a dark cloud over the idea of a canal in Panama that no one was interested in revisiting the idea again until 1901. When President McKinley was assassinated, Theodore Roosevelt took office and almost immediately declared the need for a canal. Roosevelt strong-armed Colombia into submission in order to carry out what President Grant envisioned 32 years prior as "an American canal under American control." Stay tuned for the next post which reveals even more RPI engineers, their legacy, and the completion of the Panama Canal.
*To place the cubic yardage in perspective, by the time the Americans were finished excavating, 188,280,312 cubic yards of earth were removed from the canal zone.

A casino is definitely an exciting place to be, especially for a lot of beginners who are doing it for the first time. Beginners absolutely love casinos, because casinos boast luxury and opulence. In a lot of cases, beginners have no idea what to do in a casino, and that is why, this article will guide them as to what they shouldn’t do. The casino happens to be an ecstatic place for the majority of customers. It doesn’t exactly take too long to settle into the art of gambling in the casino, but a lot of people will realise quickly what they like and what they don’t like in a casino. Beginners are very liable to make some very catastrophic errors when it comes to a judgement, in gambling scenarios. I have listed out certain things that you, as a beginner, should not do in a casino.
- You should not choose to play European roulette, over American roulette. We would definitely be surprised if any casino beginners knew this particular point, but there are two different types of roulette which are readily available to be played by the public. The main difference between the two is that the former has one extra zero value, than the latter.
- You should never ever sit down at a poker table with players who have more experience than you. Because of its presentation in a lot of movies and TV shows, the game of poker has actually become really cool to play in a casino. That is why, a lot of beginners are very tempted to sit at a poker table, a table where they do not belong. You should not sit at a poker table where people are way more experienced than you. You will face crippling losses on your part.
- I highly suggest you do not consume too much alcohol. This is definitely an obvious one, but you will believe how easy it is to get too drunk in a casino that offers you free alcohol. If you are a beginner, it is incredibly dangerous of you to drink too much, because you will be making poor decisions under the influence of alcohol. Making bad decisions is something that the casino wants you to do.
- You should be absolutely sure that you walk inside the casino with a specified bankroll in mind. You should never walk inside a casino without knowing how much money you are ready to spend. You should never gamble away any of your savings. This should go without saying, but it is definitely a recipe for disaster.
- The casino wants you to stay very long, but you should never stay in a casino longer than you want to.

It’s time to add “climate fluency” to your communications and marketing wheelhouse
Corporate communicators and marketers bear a unique responsibility in serving our companies and clients. At our best, we come to the table as both experts in our evolving crafts and highly informed contributors to, and executors of, corporate strategies. Our work helps navigate change, manage risk, and seize opportunity. That means we not only have to know our stuff, but we must also understand the rapidly changing environment businesses are operating in.
Climate change is the single-greatest long-term trend disrupting our sectors and industries .
In the past two weeks there have been two major announcements in Canada that will have cascading impacts for companies across the economy, and the communications and marketing professionals who support them:
These may sound wonky (they are), and mostly relevant to the day-to-day work of our finance and sustainability colleagues (of course). But developments of this kind have everything to do with how companies and financial institutions communicate and publicly present critical information to their stakeholders. As communicators, that is our raison-d’être.
While communication and marketing professionals aren’t expected to be climate experts, having a fluent understanding of climate issues will help us ask better questions, provide stronger counsel, and help our colleagues navigate the tough work of communicating complicated and nuanced ideas clearly. Doing our job well means helping protect our organizations’ reputations and relationships. Doing it poorly, could land everyone in (increasingly) hot water – pun intended.
That is why we created this series.
The Two Types of Climate Risk Communicators Should Understand
We all know climate change is an existential threat. When our financial and sustainability colleagues talk about climate risk, they are generally referring to two specific categories.
First: physical risks: floods, fires, droughts, and extreme weather that can destroy facilities, impact employee safety, and disrupt service and supply chains. Many businesses are already integrating these into their risk management systems (and if they are not, they may soon be forced to). For communicators, understanding these physical risks is critical to informing your crisis management playbook. If these pages are missing, it might be time to start asking some internal questions.
Second: transition risks: not being ready for the inevitable market and policy changes that will happen as the whole world shifts course to avoid climate disaster. These risks run the gamut from selling a product that consumers no longer want (think: VHS tapes), to being hit with financial penalties— legal challenges, higher operating costs, missed investment opportunities—to reputational damage from being out of step with stakeholders’ expectations and demands. (P.S. it is just as important to account for transition risks in corporate risk management systems. There should be pages in your crisis playbook for these too.)
Greenwashing is the perfect example of a transition risk that started out as primarily reputational (i.e., the stuff that lands on our desks), but is quickly evolving to have significant legal, regulatory, and financial consequences.
In our next dispatch, we get deeper into the definition of greenwashing, the new and equally concerning phenomenon of “greenhushing” and how a Canadian climate investment taxonomy could help us avoid both.
But we wanted to end this introduction with a key piece of advice we’ll probably repeat again and again: we must fundamentally shift the way we think about climate storytelling.
Ending on a Note of Humility
As communicators and marketers, we’re trained to cast our organizations in the best possible light. We want to create a warm glow around our brands, showcase the positive actions being taken, highlight achievements and successes. In general, there’s nothing wrong with that. But as you’ll see in our next post, taking this approach to climate communications may be inappropriate, and extraordinarily risky.
The shifts that must take place in our businesses and across our entire economy to respond to climate change are monumental. It is hard, messy work and even those companies who have been at it a long time are struggling. That’s because, as the window to avoid climate crisis gets smaller, the bar for action is getting higher.
In this context, boasting about our climate actions will likely trigger more suspicion than slaps on the back. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about them (we have to!). But we must do so grounded in a tone of humility.
We invite you to read our next dispatch: Greenwashing, Greenhushing, and the Need for Canadian Taxonomy. And if there are any topics or issues you especially want us to cover, drop me a line: [email protected]

We’ve all heard the rallying cry:
“We need to get our employees on social media”
“We need to *activate* our employees socially” (that’s my favorite, actually; how exactly, do you activate a human being? I didn’t know there was an off/on switch)
“We need our employees to tweet this sale”
While those all sound extremely fun and exciting from an employee perspective (can you sense my sarcasm?), I think there are a number of creative ways companies could rally the troops when it comes to social.
We just don’t hear about it that often.
What we do hear are tips like this:
“Get your employees on Twitter! Ask them to tweet all your corporate tweets.”
And, they’re generally not that helpful because they’re not specific enough.
So, given my history in employee communications and social media, I thought I’d throw out a few more creative and specific ideas for companies to consider when they think about “activating” (there’s that word again!) employees from a social media perspective.
Have fun with selfies at company events
Mock and ridicule selfies all you want, but the reality is they’re the most popular form of self-expression on the internet. So, why wouldn’t companies take advantage of that? After all, this is what people WANT to do. At our recent PRSA Classics banquet here in MSP, I remember a contest during the show that asked people to take selfies using a certain hash tag for a chance to win a prize (ride home in a limo, I believe). I was astounded how many people participated. For your next company event, could you use selfies as a fun way to get employees involved socially? Maybe it’s for a community event where employees are volunteering? And, maybe you re-gram employee selfies from your corporate Instagram account. Regardless, just have fun with it. I wish more brands would.
Hold “Twitter Takeover” days
What about assigning one day a week/month where you allow one employee to take over your corporate Twitter handle. Scary, right? But, imagine how this would open up trust among the masses. With a simple set of guidelines in place (you already have your social media policy to “protect” you), employees would tweet about their experiences during the day working for your company. It would give followers a whole new (and more unfiltered) perspective into your company. And again, don’t underestimate the goodwill this would build with employees (given you don’t put too many restraints on them).
Use Instagram video to capture community service
Back to those employee volunteer events–could you use short-form video to really highlight the work you’re doing in the community? Capture some of the more poignant or light-hearted moments at these events.
Ask employees to highlight “Summer Fridays”
It is the summer, after all. And many companies offer summer Friday hours. So, why not ask employees to share how they’re using their time away from the office to recharge and refresh? Then, consider aggregating all this content on your site, or again, re-gramming through Instagram.
Ask employees to write handwritten notes to customers–and take pics of them
Don’t underestimate the power of a handwritten note. We hear that more and more in today’s digital environment. And it couldn’t be more true. So, why not start by asking five employees to write one personal note a week to random customers. Ask them to send the notes, but also ask them to take pics of their notes and post through your social channels. This way, you share with the wider audience–but you also get that one-on-one, more intimate communication with your customers.
So, those are my ideas? What about you?

Giving a new series a try today. The impetus? Through my HAPPO work, and networking in general, I learn about so many cool PR jobs. Both here in Minneapolis/St. Paul–and nationally. So, since we all can’t have a “dream job”, I thought I’d profile some of the folks that do have these “dream jobs” in an effort to get a sneak peek into their worlds.
So, once a month (or so), I’ll take a peek at someone in PR who I think has a pretty darn cool job. You might not always agree, but hey, it’s my blog dammit! 🙂 First up: Chris Iles–a guy I just recently met. But, a guy with an incredibly cool job with my favorite baseball team. Let’s hear more…
What is your official job title and what are your job duties?
I’m the Corporate Communications Manager for the Minnesota Twins and I handle media relations on the business side, manage content on www.twinsbaseball.com, run our social media efforts (check us out @twins on Twitter and at facebook.com/twins) and handle all internal communications.
What’s the best part of your job? And, what’s one part of your job that most people might not know about?
The best part of my job is working in a world class facility for a well-respected brand. One thing people might not know about the Twins’ front office is that we’re really quite small (+-130 people). That means everyone has a wide variety of job responsibilities that don’t necessarily fit into your job description.
With the move to Target Field two years ago, you got a significant upgrade in office facilities. What are your new office digs in TF like? And, do you have a view of the field from your desk?
The office facilities at Target Field are the nicest I have worked in during my professional career. Now that I have a nice Ergotron sit/stand workstation, I do have a view of the field from over my cube wall.
What’s it like going to work at a Major League ballpark each day? And, what kind of interaction do you have with the players and coaches?
It is incredibly fun and demanding to work at a Major League ballpark each day. Just to be around the game is a thrill and to have 40,000 friends visit you each day makes it all that much more enjoyable. I do have a fair amount of interaction with the players and coaches through our community relations efforts. We have a separate Baseball Communications team that deals primarily with on-field media relations.
It’s tough to break into major league sports on the marketing/PR side. What advice would you have to folks looking to get a job with a major league sports franchise?
Do informational interviews. I just hired a social media intern because I had met him through an informational interview and knew he was smart and capable. It also helps to have a wide variety of experiences that show you are a well-rounded person. Aside from the necessary strong writing skills, it helps to show you’ve done something substantive like volunteering, traveling abroad, etc.
What’s a typical day look like for you during the season? Gotta think those are long days…
It gets a bit hectic during the season. I generally arrive at the office around 9 a.m. and jump into my usual duties of writing, talking to reporters, working with MLB Advanced Media to update our website, getting messages out via social media, etc. Then around 5 p.m., as most people are packing up to head home for the day, I switch over into game-time mode. That usually entails handling media requests during batting practice and putting out various fires. During the game, I run our in-game Tweet board and interact with fans via social media. I’m looking forward to having my intern handle some of these responsibilities this year.
Most folks think MLB teams have large marketing departments—I know that’s not true, as we’ve discussed. Talk about the size of your PR/marketing team and how that impacts your work.
It’s true that our PR/Marketing departments (and whole front office) are smaller than most folks would think. Our PR efforts are broken down into 2 categories:
Public Affairs (2 people handle all communications for everything off the field)
Baseball Communications (4 people handle all communications related to the game of baseball)
With a small department like that, opportunities for advancement must be minimal. How does that impact your career planning and how you think about your time with the Twins?
That is true. There are just not as many roles to move into as with a larger organization. I’m sure you’d agree that working in communications, you need to keep your head on a swivel and be open to new opportunities. Keep your network strong, one eye on your current responsibilities and one eye on the horizon.

PITTSBURGH, PA.- Carnegie Museum of Art
announced today three new senior leadership hires. The museum named Ronald Lee Newman as Deputy Director; Dana Bishop-Root as Director of Education and Public Programs; and Aryn Beitz in the role of Director of Design and Publishing.
I am delighted to welcome Ronald, Dana, and Aryn to our senior leadership team, said Eric Crosby, the museums Henry J. Heinz II Director. Since I began as Director in March 2020, I have been committed to building a collaborative and inclusive senior leadership team that reflects exemplary experience and diverse backgrounds and points of view. As Carnegie Museum of Art embarks on its next chapter of change and growth, I am confident that Ronald, Dana, and Aryn, along with our colleagues across the entire museum team, will discover innovative ways to realize our mission and serve our audiences through new programs, practices, and partnerships.
As CMOAs new Deputy Director, Ronald Lee Newman will maintain the museums day-to-day business operations to advance its strategic goals. He will partner closely with museum leadership on organizational initiatives, strategic planning, and policy decisions, and contribute leadership for institutional partnerships by guiding the implementation of programs that broaden the museums reach, increase its audience, and advance its reputation. Newman comes to CMOA from the August Wilson Society in Washington, D.C., where he served as a board member and interim Communications Director. Beforehand, he spent time in Pittsburgh as the Managing Director of the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. Newman managed the Centers daily operations, advanced institutional relationships, and oversaw facilities, production management, patron services, and the development of organizational structure procedures. Prior to this role, Newman worked at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. for over a decade as Director of Operations and Collaborative Programming. During his tenure, he oversaw operations of the school. He also managed audience and patron services, safety and security, licensing and events, and contracted production and operations staff. Notably, he served as the Project Director for the modernization and expansion of the Duke Ellington School; is the founder and former Chair of the schools Technical Design and Production Department; and a founding member of the schools Alumni Association.
Dana Bishop-Root will serve as CMOAs new Director of Education and Public Programs, in which she will expand the museums capacity as a public resource for the region. Through cross disciplinary partnerships, she will lead efforts to create, implement, and evaluate a wide range of innovative educational programs, activities, and artist projects that connect a multiplicity of visitors to art, ideas, and one another. Bishop-Root will also be integral to advancing CMOAs commitment to expand diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion both internally and externally. She joins CMOA from the Braddock Carnegie Library Association (BCLA), where she most recently served as Associate Director. During her tenure, Bishop-Roots leadership spanned efforts across arts education, community engagement, and strategic planning and partnerships. Prior to BCLA, Bishop-Root spent time in New York City as Program Manager for Publicolor, where she developed and implemented creative learning job training curriculum for middle and high school youth. Throughout her career, Bishop-Root has served and continues to serve as an organizational facilitator with a focus on social justice. She also collaboratively teaches Carnegie Mellon Universitys M.F.A Contextual Practice Seminar and leads a series of dialogical public programs at the Miller ICA. Bishop-Root is a founding member of the Pittsburgh-based artist collectives Transformazium and General Sisters. Through place-based artistic practices, each collaboration grows and creates alongside local systems of communication, exchange, and resource distribution. Transformazium participated in the 2013 Carnegie International through the Art Lending Collection at Braddock Carnegie Library.
In the new role of Director of Design and Publishing, Aryn Beitz will lead the reimagining of CMOAs visual identity and oversee the museums publication initiatives, as well as the design and implementation of the Carnegie International. Additionally, she will continue to develop CMOAs in-house design and editorial department, expanding the role of graphic design in the delivery of the museums artistic program. Beitz most recently held the post of Designer for The Shed in New York City, where she supported the organizations interdisciplinary programming, while also assisting with the development and implementation of The Sheds visual identity. Prior to The Shed, Beitz worked as an in-house designer at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, collaborating across all departments to conceptualize, develop, and design materials across various platforms. She spearheaded visual identity for the exhibition Siah Armajani: Follow This Line, including the accompanying show catalogue and associated graphics.

On Thursday, March 04, 2021, I had the honor of participating in the Church for All Nations Cultural Impact Team’s panel on Election Integrity. I had a blast, and the knowledgeable panel, dedicated crowd (blizzard outside), and robust discussion made for an excellent evening.
I am posting my prepared remarks here. It’s not exactly what I said, but what I meant to say 🤷🏼♀️ The link to the video is also below.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this event happen. I am blessed to have been a part of it!
Andrew Breitbart famously said, “Politics is downstream of culture.”
My best friend and I are as far apart as two people can be in socio political terms. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ve heard me refer to my “bestie the leftie” and how we came to love each other before we really knew who we were. You hear people say, “Oh I have friends on the left, but we never talk about politics or religion.” Bestie and I talk politics and religion all the time. We debate and disagree and search for common ground and, when one of us has had enough, we stop and we discuss other things. We can disagree without being disagreeable.
I used to say, “We agree on the future we want to build, but we disagree about how to build it.” Now, for bestie and I, that’s as true today as it was 25 years ago. But I no longer believe that in the macro societal sense. I used to think our relationship was the rule. I now know that it is the exception.
When we think of “culture,” we think of our common purpose and shared values. Culture, as defined, is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement, regarded collectively. Do we have shared art or music? Do we even agree on our shared history?
I argue that American culture came to a fork in the road over a decade ago, and kept marching down both paths, under the flag of party, kept marching, away from each other. The two sides are so far apart from each other now that we no longer have one American culture.
We have two.
Our political divisions are reflecting our cultural ones.
The problem is that because we no longer have common values, we have no foundation for common ground.
And that brings me to election integrity or, more specifically, election fraud.
Simply: One of the two American cultures is okay with cheating and the other is not.
This is not a Democrat and Republican division. It’s a cultural one. Anyone who has looked at the evidence of election fraud with intellectual honesty knows that the election was stolen. It was stolen here in Colorado just as it was stolen nationally.
One of our American cultures is fighting for investigations, uncovering and reporting on the fraud and all the incestuous business and political relationships surrounding the fraud, and trying to expose those involved and clean up of elections to restore public trust.
The other is gaslighting the nation, pushing obvious lies and silencing dissent, while trying to enshrine the methods and mechanisms of fraud into law to ensure that we never have free and fair elections again.
Again, this is not a Democrat and Republican division. There are a great many Republicans who are spending their time lobbying behind the scenes in favor of the status quo. There are prominent Republicans on the scene today, who once had the power to stop election fraud in Colorado and instead enabled and profited off of it. Our election corruption in Colorado goes back 20 years, and it’s definitely not confined to a single political party.
So the question, then, that I think we want to be considering with regards to Election Integrity is, Which American Culture are we a part of? Which American culture are we going to enable and encourage?
I’ve spoken with friends on the left who say, “I know it was rigged, but Trump was so bad, it required this kind of action.” In other words, the people chose wrong and the leftists had to fix it.
Many on the right say, “Well, there were certainly election irregularities but we need to move on and focus on 2022. We need to focus on getting candidates elected.”
How are we going to get candidates elected when the elections are rigged?
The fight for election integrity isn’t about Trump. It’s about elections.
It’s about free people having the power to create their own government and select their representation and leadership. Fraud-free elections are what make us free in the first place.
Accepting fraud because your side won is endorsing election fraud.
Not wanting to talk about this contentious subject is endorsing election fraud.
Fearing the fraud machine to the point of inaction is endorsing election fraud.
Sitting on the fence is endorsing election fraud.
Finally, I’ll just say, Colorado has seen a massive surge in voters going unaffiliated, from both parties, in recent months. This is a data point. This is our politics reflecting our culture.
So if we want to win elections, where do we go from here?

FIND OUT WHY VIETNAM IS THE CENTER OF GROWING CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Vietnam is one of the countries where the economy has grown the most and grown the fastest in the last few decades. This megalopolis has reduced its poverty rates dramatically by both local and international standards while increasing labor productivity and wages.
During the coronavirus outbreak, Vietnam has been one of the countries that have been able to stay healthy the best. Despite the current challenges in the global economic environment, the Vietnamese government has set an ambitious economic growth target of 5% for this year.
The educated youth are needed and appreciated
There are plenty of career opportunities in Vietnam. Developing industries are requiring new skill sets and production processes. The aging population will demand care services from a shrinking working age population.
The educated youth are appreciated and needed but only less than 20% of Vietnam’s labor force has more than a secondary education. For this reason, education and training systems have had to be reformed in order to build skills for 21st century jobs. Connecting qualified workers to the right jobs will help creating better jobs for all in the future.
Building careers with FTU
The Foreign Trade University (FTU) in Ho Chi Minh City is considered to be one of the most valued and it has been ranked as one of the best universities in Vietnam. FTU offers a variety of courses from study programs on International Business Management, International Finance, Economics, Banking and Logistics. Ho Chi Minh City is also the business hub of Vietnam.
Japanese student Takahiro Higuma applied to study at the Foreign Trade University because he felt great potential about insurance market of Vietnam since it is one of the fastest growing countries in Asia. He worked as a consultant with insurance and mission critical system development at a company called Manulife.
The purpose of his study abroad at FTU was to join an internship at a local company in Vietnam.
“In my case, I wanted to study insurance market of Asia. Therefore, before going to Vietnam, I asked the university to participate in an internship. I’m glad I was able to conduct the studies this way”, tells Takahiro.
“As a trend in the global insurance market it is important to strategically enter the Asian market and I could feel the momentum of economic growth in Vietnam.”
Vietnam shows great example
Despite the COVID-19 outbreak, Vietnam has been able to maintain their economy in control. The country has shown great example on how to handle global threats. The quick and efficient actions the Vietnamese government took during the situation might benefit them and attract potential foreign investors and businesses in the future.

Nepal’s former prime minister Baburam Bhattarai has launched the campaign for a broad-based political front to tackle the current conflict over the new Constitution and to lead the country to development, agencies report.
Inaugurating the New Force (Naya Shakti) campaign, Bhattarai, who hails from a remote village in Gorkha, said the front will mobilize public opinion and form a new party soon.
Bhattarai, who resigned from the United Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in September protesting against the new Constitution of Nepal, blamed the government led by K P Sharma Oli for the ongoing violent protests that have blocked the movement of goods and hit the nation’s economy hard.
“The Constitution … can be compared to a half-filled glass … it can be called half-filled or half empty. It should be made complete by filling the remaining half through Constitution amendment,” he said.
While parties like the Nepali Congress, Praja Parishad, the CPN-UML and the UCPN-Maoist have served the country well, they have been unable to move with the times. This has prompted the formation of the new force, he said.
With an inclusive approach, the new front is doing formulate ideas and principles suitable to Nepal, he said.
The inaugural was attended by Upendra Yadav, chairman of Federal Socialist Forum Nepal, Pradeep Giri, senior leader of Nepali Congress and Mahantha Thakur, chairman of the Terai Madhes Democratic Party, among others — an indication that the party will be more inclusive.
Thakur, in his speech, said the Madhes agitation was launched after the new constitution totally ignored their rights.
Yadav said democracy could not be inclusive unless the state gets rid of the mentality of one language.
“The people of Madhes are just demanding the implementation of the eight-point and 22-point agreements reached with the state in the past. The New Force should break the ‘one language’ mentality,” he said.
Pradip Giri of Nepali Congress said the new front should focus on people’s welfare.
Later, talking to Hindu, Bhattarai blamed the government’s conservative outlook for the violent protests. The current situation is critical and needs a political solution, he said adding that he will be traveling across Nepal to assess the kind of development Nepal is aspiring for.

Known by many as a half Ironman, the Ironman 70.3 races in Las Vegas, NV are an excellent goal for triathletes looking for a new challenge.
Herein, do Triathletes make money?
So how much do pro triathletes make? You can expect an average salary from prize money and bonuses to sit between $50,000 and $100,000 a year.
Just so, how do I participate in Ironman?
There are four ways you can find yourself at the starting line for the IRONMAN World Championship: earning a slot at one of the full-distance qualifiers held around the world, getting a spot through the IRONMAN Legacy program, winning an entry in the IRONMAN Lottery Program or purchasing an entry through the IRONMAN …
How do you find a triathlon?
How to Find the Best Triathlon for You

TRIATHLON COSTS DURING A TYPICAL YEAR
|Race fees (Olympic x2)||$120||$150|
|Race fees (Half distance)||$120||$300|
|Race fees (Full distance)||$250||$600|
This triathlon distance requires a 2.4 mile swim (3.9K), 112 mile bike (180.2K), and 26.2 mile run (42.2K). Depending on your fitness level, course conditions, and the weather on race day, you can expect to complete these three legs in about 10 to 17 hours.
The entry fee for Ironman comes with its own sticker shock. Nevertheless, plenty are perfectly happy to pay the $650 registration cost — evident as Louisville’s Ironman, on Oct.
Yes, triathlon is an expensive sport, but if you’re smart you can keep your costs down. If it’s your first triathlon, or if you want to just kick the tires on the sport, you can do so for at a relatively cheap cost. … Look, don’t let costs keep you out of this amazing sport.
As a triathlon beginner, we recommend starting with a sprint triathlon (generally a 500-meter swim, a 20K bike, and a 5K run), but if you’re interested in longer distances you can learn more about what those entail here.
For the beginner triathlete, it will take about 1 hour 50 minutes to complete their first sprint distance triathlon. If we break down the average sprint triathlon time, this should take the novice triathlete around 2 minutes per 100 m in the swim. 1 hour for the bike leg, and up to 30 minutes to complete the run.
A Triathlon refers to a race that consists of three disciplines completed back to back; swimming, cycling and running. … Ironman is also a trademarked name, with the race being organised by ‘Ironman’. There are other triathlons that cover the same distances, but these are simply called ‘Iron-distance races’.
Whether you want to get in shape or simply take on a new challenge in 2019, here are five of the best triathlons for beginners.
- Blenheim Palace Triathlon.
- Castle Howard Triathlon.
- The Slateman.
- IRONMAN Austria-Kärnten.
- Novice Triathlons in Shetland.
So far, that leaves us with this: Traveling to races in the U.S. is expensive because it takes more time and more hotel nights should you venture across the country or up a mountain. … In Germany, people happily flick $30 to race organizers for a sprint. (See: Ravensburger Triathlon, now in its 33rd year.)

I recently explained that, as much as I am sympathetic to the goals of gay Americans who feel that they are simply fighting for equality and freedom, I cannot support those goals for two reasons:
The first is biblical: same-sex relationships and endless gender variations violate God’s best plan for humanity. The second is social: when we look at the trajectory of LGBTQ+ activism, we see that it ends up going in a very dangerous and destructive direction.
Recently, a man who identifies as a woman shocked patrons at a local spa when he exposed himself to the women and girls there. This led to protests condemning his behavior as well as defending his “rights,” with one protest turning violent thanks to the presence of Antifa.
To be sure, there were many in the LGBTQ+ community who were appalled, saying this is not what they stand for.
As reported on Fox News, Tammy Bruce “a member of the LGBTQ community herself, told Tucker Carlson on Monday that the exchange was troubling to many of her ‘transgender friends’ who found the individual's behavior offensive.
“‘My concern here is that the average transgender person, and I have perhaps more transgender friends than some of the people watching the program, they are also appalled,’ Bruce said.”
So, the trajectory of which I am speaking is not that there will suddenly be an epidemic of biological males who claim to be females exposing themselves to women and girls. (Sadly, this has happened in the past, and it’s another reason why biological males should not have access to women’s bathrooms and locker rooms and the like.)
The trajectory of which I speak is the trajectory of social madness, resulting in headlines like this, from the Daily Mail: “Violent clashes break out in LA between rival protesters after viral video showed customer complaining about transgender woman exposing their penis to children in upmarket spa’s steam room.”
Just look at this four-word phrase: “woman exposing their penis” (and yes, never forget that he did this in the presence of girls). What kind of madness is this?
A woman does not have a penis (yes, we need to remind people of this fact these days, since it is hotly disputed). And a single woman is not described by the possessive pronoun “their.”
Of course, some of the absurdity and outrageousness of this whole situation would have been underscored by using correct grammar, hence “woman exposing her penis” (remember the realities of biology!). But using the generic, transgender “their” only heightens the ridiculousness of the sentence.
And what of the dangerous trajectory in which some believe that this man has the “right” to such behavior since, after all, he is trans? Is not this some of the very child abuse of which some of us have been warning for years?
Speaking of child abuse, Mary Margaret Olohan recently posted an article titled, “‘You Should be in Prison’: Critics Slam WaPo Article Encouraging ‘Kink Culture’ for Children.”
As she explained, “‘A Washington Post op-ed published Tuesday [June 29] celebrates and encourages exposing children to ‘kink culture,’ such as explicit performances at pride parades.
‘Yes, kink belongs at Pride,’ reads the headline of writer Lauren Rowello’s Tuesday WaPo piece. ‘And I want my kids to see it.’”
As for Rowello, Olohan tells us that she is a “‘gendervague’ person who is married to a transgender woman.” Rowello “described how the couple attended a pride parade where their children were confused to see ‘a few dozen kinksters who danced down the street, laughing together as they twirled their whips and batons, some leading companions by leashes.’”
But Rowello wanted her kids to see this – “Hey kids, check out the BDSM practices enjoyed by some of our community!” – since, “Children who witness kink culture are reassured that alternative experiences of sexuality and expression are valid — no matter who they become as they mature, helping them recognize that their personal experiences aren’t bad or wrong, and that they aren’t alone in their experiences.”
This is parental child abuse, plain and simple, adding to the confusion these kids will already experience due to the gender identities of their parents.
For good reason Ben Shapiro tweeted, “In a sane society, CPS [Child Protective Services] would already be on the way.”
Of course, many in the LGBTQ+ community would be appalled at this as well, but that is not the issue. The issue is trajectory, and the fact is that it was the Washington Post – not even the Advocate or the Village Voice – that published this perverse editorial.
Yes, this is why we’ve been shouting from the rooftops for so many years. Just look at where this all leads.
That’s why others are speaking up as well, most recently Helen Joyce, senior writer at The Economist with a Ph.D. in Mathematics, and so, not one to focus on LGBTQ+ related issues.
Yet she has now written, “Gender self-identification is often described as this generation's civil rights battle.
“But for a man to declare 'I am a woman', and for everyone to be compelled to agree, is not, as with genuine civil rights movements, about extending privileges unjustly hoarded by a favoured group to a marginalised one.
“What we are facing is a fundamental redefinition of what it means for anyone to be a man or woman – the supplanting of biology and a total rewrite of society's rules, with far-reaching consequences.”
She has actually devoted a soon-to-be released book to the subject titled Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality.
Remarkably, the book carries endorsements from world famous atheist Richard Dawkins, who called it, “A frighteningly necessary book: well-written, thoroughly-researched, passionate and very brave.” Even gay activist Simon Fanshawe said, “If anyone doubts that gender ideology poses a threat to all of us – including trans people – you really should read this book.”
The reality – yes, let’s focus on reality – is that something is terribly wrong with the direction our society is going. If we don’t make a very serious about face, our children and their children will pay dearly.
Will we let this happen on our watch?

One of my favorite VC posts of all times was my partner Seth Levine’s post titled How to become a venture capitalist. I regularly get emails from folks looking for a job in the VC industry and I almost always point them at this post.
Seth has followed up with a new post titled How to get a job in venture capital (revisited). It’s updated with some additional information for those that respond to the first post by saying "I get it that it’s hard, but what should I do over the next five years to position myself for a VC job.
Both make up the great VC post of the day. Enjoy.

Today’s Question: I’ve been told that a digital camera can’t capture as much information as human vision. Is that true?
Tim’s Quick Answer: I would say that a digital camera can actually capture more information than normal human vision is capable of, though perception can be a bit different from this.
More Detail: I most often hear the suggestion that human vision is “better” than a digital camera in the context of high dynamic range (HDR) photography. The suggestion is that by creating an HDR image you are matching the advanced capabilities of human vision. Instead, I would say that HDR photography reproduces the illusion of human vision.
The reason we might perceive human vision as having greater dynamic range and greater depth of field than a digital camera is that our eyes are constantly adjusting in terms of exposure and focal point as we move our view around a scene.
A classic example of the limitations of human vision is illustrated by walking out of a dark movie theater into daylight. It takes a minute or two for our eyes to adjust from a dark environment to a very bright environment, which illustrates that the dynamic range of our vision isn’t really all that significant. Rather, as we move our eyes around a scene with varying light levels, our pupils adjust to effectively alter the exposure of our vision.
Similarly, as we move our eyes around a scene, our focal point changes rapidly, providing the illusion of tremendous depth of field. We actually see a very small area of a scene to be in perfect focus, both in terms of depth and field of view.
So, in general I would say that a digital camera is actually able to capture more information in terms of dynamic range and depth of field, when compared to normal human vision. The difference is that human vision is simply making constant adjustments, while a digital photo preserves a single (hopefully decisive) moment in time.

Mergers and acquisitions within tech companies can leave fixed assets unaccounted for and asset management systems lacking or incomplete. In order to remedy this, Assertive Industries will conduct a fixed asset physical inventory to accurately depict your true “floor” inventory. This is done through our fixed asset audit service during which our professional audit team would conduct physical inventories and collect all of the details needed to ensure your company’s fixed assets are properly managed and personal property taxes are minimized.
Some of the most expensive equipment out there is IT equipment. Any tech company knows that technology is constantly changing and that the depreciation of equipment can quickly change based on these advances in technology. Your company’s inventory of specialty fixed assets for IT must be properly tracked and managed by an expert team in order to minimize personal property taxes and properly allocate depreciation expenses. Assertive Industries can assist with incorporating fixed asset and IT management systems that leverage barcode technology to ensure proper tracking and management in a more automated, systemized way to prioritize accuracy and time efficiency.
The complicated nature of tech conglomerates only intensifies when it comes time to do fixed asset audits. Due to the different entities operating under one corporate group, it can be difficult to do a proper audit without the expertise of a fixed asset management company like Assertive Industries. Beginning with an accurate audit by our expert team can identify phantom assets and can help to minimize personal property taxes and properly allocate depreciation expenses.
We can work with your corporation to complete the audit and design an advanced fixed asset management system that will work to keep all of the fixed assets for each entity accurately logged and managed.
Operating in 75 countries with over 3,5000 people working on our member firms around the world, Assertive Industries is a top choice when it comes to fixed asset management for IT. We are one of the most knowledgeable fixed asset management organizations when it comes to fixed assets for tech companies and we continue to expand our knowledge in Information Technology so that we can provide the best service to our clients. Included in our list of satisfied IT clients are Equifax, Sun Microsystems, Nvidia, EA, ChoicePoint, and Lexis Nexis.

An entity unknown, an anonymous proposition, a collective, existing only to pummel one’s ears with vicious walls of noise – not since the heady days of the Norwegian inner circle has a death cult of such malevolence existed.
In the decade since their formation, Dragged Into Sunlight have become the leading proposition in UK extreme metal today. As the UK extreme metal scene has faded into a tired parody of itself, the collective has led the way for a new generation of extremity, pushing the boundaries of the origins and conclusions of their vicious noise in an age in which genre is a fading concept.
The group, filling their ranks with a plethora of collaborators, occultists, and extreme metal alumni are one of the few daring to innovate – be it through their public obfuscation, dimly lit live theatrics, the monolithic audial torture of their output, or the tireless innovation running through their depraved walls of noise.
We caught up with one of the Dragged’ cabal to pry at the ideologies, creative processes, and abstraction behind the collective’s noise.
You have an ever expanding roster of members of contributors/members, why is this? Might you refer to yourselves as a collective as opposed to a band?
Possibly – Dragged Into Sunlight has grown steadily into a home for artists who seek to create relentlessly without the boundaries of pleasing third parties or fitting in. Some musicians are better at not fitting in, finding other musicians who share a similar mindset is not only part of the challenge but also part of the reward.
With added weight, there are barbaric levels of momentum in the themes that we are able to create and promote as a collective entity.
Your music is incredibly abstract, how would you define Dragged Into Sunlight’s sound?
If we were able to define what it is that we do, it would likely prove self-fulfilling. Labelling predetermines a product – if you want to capture a certain flavour you utilise predetermined ingredients and tools to create a familiar taste. If you strive to create something new, it’s either going to taste great like peanut butter and weed or like total shit. There’s a little more thrill to the chase, so perhaps abstract isn’t so bad.
You have a somewhat more extravagant live show than most other live acts, why is this? What influences are behind the weirdness and colour of your live shows?
Dragged Into Sunlight is the final venture for those involved and on that basis, there are elements that certain individuals seek to incorporate as a bucket list. The live show continues to evolve however, that is part of the challenge, and whilst many artists feel that their live show should be indicative of their recorded sound, the same approach would prove fruitless for those involved in Dragged Into Sunlight and is better reversed.
Those attending shows are paying to see something different, it would be a lot easier to replicate a recorded sound but that would also be a compromise to the fundamentals that underpin Dragged Into Sunlight as a concept. You can stream a record, you cannot stream the corresponding live experience, and with Dragged Into Sunlight, it is that lack of grounds for comparison which justifies fans of extreme music leaving the house and supporting those bands that strive to do something a little different.
Do any of your members dabble in the occult or is it purely a thematic thing for Dragged Into Sunlight?
Suffice to say, members dabble in all sorts. We are a collective of not just dark interest but obsession with all matters extreme.
Are you influenced more by the old-school Autopsy/Incantation version of deathly doom, or is the influence of more modern doom/sludge/drone a more prominent influence for you guys?
It is certainly the likes of Autopsy, Incantation, and Demigod that continue to inspire. That is not to say that the more modern doom, sludge and drone does not influence the sound that Dragged Into Sunlight creates but perhaps that those involved are of a generation where bands such as Autopsy carried a more relevant significance.
2012’s Widowmaker and N.V., your 2015 split with Gnaw Their Tongues, have a much more prominent doom metal influence, and a more melodic strain of tonality running through these releases, than the previous two releases, what’s behind this?
Widowmaker as a recording focused on themes of loneliness whilst N.V. draws on the negative and industrial chill of harsh noise with elements of grindcore weaved in.
Both [2009’s] Terminal Aggressor and [2011’s] Hatred For Mankind centred on frenzied aggression and a fuller sound. Such a frenzied approach could be said to allow for a more diverse but less coherent sound…

The governments in Barcelona and Madrid continue on their collision course. Time is running out to avoid a constitutional crisis in Spain.
- Catalonia’s regional parliament legislated this week for an independence referendum from Spain.
- Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has vowed to do “whatever is necessary” to stop it.
- His government challenged the legality of the referendum to the Constitutional Court, which promptly suspended the law while it considers arguments.
- Prosecutors filed criminal charges against senior Catalan officials, including the regional president and speaker of parliament.
- Law enforcement agencies in Catalonia have been instructed to seize ballot boxes.
- The central government urged Catalan mayors not to assist in preparations for the referendum. The mayor of Tarragona complied. The mayors of Badalona, Girona and Sabadell have said they support the referendum. The mayor of Barcelona is undecided.
It’s not too late to step back from the brink
I still feel Spanish intransigence is ultimately to blame. A refusal to hear out Catalan demands, must less recognize their right to self-determination, has radicalized the independence movement.
Spain accuses the Catalans of breaking the law by holding their referendum, but it has refused to allow them one. What were they supposed to do?
That said, the separatists have bungled this process.
They enacted the referendum law with the smallest-possible majority: 72 out of 135 deputies, despite the far-left opposition nominally supporting Catalan self-determination. Those 72 deputies were elected in 2015 by 48 percent of voters. That’s not a strong mandate.
The law itself has many shortcomings:
- It claims to be binding, but there is no provision for this in Catalan or Spanish law.
- It has no minimum turnout requirement.
- It sets the referendum for October 1, giving both proponents and opponents little time to mount a campaign.
- The regional government is campaigning for independence, but no public funds are being made available for the “no” side.
- In case the separatists prevail, the plan is to declare independence from Spain within two days. What’s the rush?
Monday is the National Day of Catalonia. Expect a show of force from the separatists. In previous years, hundreds of thousands of Catalans took to the streets of Barcelona to demonstrate for self-determination.

What to Expect:
Your first physical therapy appointment is another step on your road to recovery, and with everything new, it’s nice to travel a road you’re at least somewhat familiar with.
1. Paperwork! (Yeah, we know)
2. Assessment of the problem
Even though your very talented physician said that the pain you’re experiencing originates in your shoulder, we just want to confirm the findings. And 95% of the time, we agree with your doctor’s assessment, but the assessment exists for the other 5% of the time. We want to be sure we are treating the origin of the pain. For example, some shoulder pain can originate in your neck instead of the obvious place: your shoulder.
Get ready for measurements: motion measurements, strength measurements, other measurements.
This is really a part of the assessment. We’ll look at your range of motion and check to see how strong you are, given your injury.
4. A discussion about anatomy and physiology
You may be thinking “Hurry up and make me better already!” Oh, just wait. We will. We will!
But before we prepare you to run a marathon, we want to make sure you understand why your body is in pain/not functioning as it should.
So be ready for a lesson in anatomy and physiology. We’ll follow that up with a plan of action. What do you want to be able to do? Lift a small car? Maybe more realistically, lift a small child, or get back to running, cooking, dancing, etc.
5. Get your homework…er…home exercise list
Many people who attend therapy often don’t realize that home exercises are an integral part of their physical therapy.
Your physical therapist needs to make sure that you can perform the exercises correctly at home. What good is therapy if you can’t do the required movements at home?
A lot of times people go to the first appointment in jeans, which is okay depending on your therapist. However, it’s best to arrive in athletic wear/comfortable clothing that you can move in–especially since your therapist will try to have you complete a few of each home exercise.
6. Clearing up misconceptions (no you won’t be leaping over buildings next week)
Many people arrive at therapy and look around at other people in the room. Doing that tends to make people ask questions like “why can’t I move like that yet?” or “we had surgery the same day, but he doesn’t seem to be in as much pain as me. Why not?”
A few thoughts on expectations:
- They tend to occur because people compare themselves unfairly to others. Don’t do it. Your body may respond better or worse than someone else’s body.
- They can cause people to become dejected. If you expect to be better after surgery right away, you’re going to be disappointed (depending on the surgery), so take it slow and listen to your therapist’s expectations.
- Sometimes, people expect to be down and out for quite some time. That’s also not always the case. You may be up and moving sooner than you expect.
- Listen to your therapist’s assessment and then grill them with all of your questions. That usually solves the misconception problem.
7. Support – We Get You!
Your therapist wants to support you. They want you to get back to the lifestyle you want. Many therapists have also experienced an accident or surgery that landed them in therapy, so they’ve been through it themselves, and they help dozens of people each day to move one step closer to being healed.
Talk to them. They’ll hear you out. Therapists are pretty good listeners after all.

Looking to upgrade to Windows 11 on your current computer or install it fresh on a different PC? You can now install Microsoft’s Windows 11 Media Creation Tool to create an installation file that can be copied to a bootable USB drive or burned onto a DVD.
Microsoft is gradually rolling out Windows 11 to compatible Windows 10 machines, but that means it could be weeks or even months before the update reaches you. If you’re in no rush to install the new OS, you can wait for it to be available on your PC. But if you wish to upgrade right away, the Media Creation Tool is your best bet. Here’s how it works.
To install Windows 11, your computer must meet the new operating system’s minimum requirements. Not sure if yours is compatible? Download and run Microsoft's PC Health Check Tool to find out.
Go to the Windows 11 Specifications page and scroll to the bottom until you see the Check for compatibility section. Click the Download PC Health Check App link to install the program. Open the app and click the Check now button. A message will tell you whether or not your PC meets the requirements.
If your PC doesn’t make the grade, the app will explain why it doesn’t currently meet the system requirements, with the specific issues listed out for you.
Download the Media Creation Tool
If you're in the clear, open Microsoft’s Download Windows 11 page on any compatible computer (it doesn’t need to be the PC on which you will install Windows 11).
You are then given three choices for installing the operating system. You can use the Installation Assistant, installation media, or a disk image (ISO file). Scroll down to the Create Windows 11 Installation Media section and click Download Now.
Choose Media Type
During the setup process, you’ll be asked to accept the license terms and then confirm the language and edition for Windows 11. You are then asked which type of media you want to use: a USB drive with at least 8GB of space or an ISO file that you can then burn to a DVD. If you opt for a USB drive, make sure the drive is connected to your computer. Click Next.
Make sure the correct USB drive is selected, especially if more than one removable drive is connected to your computer. Click Next. The tool downloads Windows 11 onto your USB drive and then creates the installation media. When the process is complete, click Finish.
Want to go the DVD route instead? At the screen to choose which media to use, select the ISO file option and click Next. Choose the folder you want the file downloaded to and change the name of the file to something more specific, such as Windows 11.iso. Click Save and wait for the file to be downloaded to the selected folder.
After the process finishes, the program asks if you want to burn the ISO file onto a DVD. You can burn the file now if you click the Open DVD burner link. You can also wait to do this another time; just make note of the file location so you know where to find it later.
Rather than opening the built-in Disc Image Burner tool, Microsoft only shows you a dialog box displaying the name of the executable file and parameters to use the tool from a command prompt. Click OK to close the message, then click Finish to close the Media Creation Tool.
You can certainly use the command line version of the Image Burner tool, but there’s an easier way. Place a recordable DVD in your PC’s disc tray. Open File Explorer and right-click on the Windows ISO file, then select the Burn disc image command.
Choose the correct DVD drive if you have more than one. Check the box next to Verify disc after burning if you wish to make sure the burning was done correctly. Click the Burn button. After the process is finished, close the Disc Image Burn tool.
Update to Windows 11
Now it’s time to install Windows 11. First, let’s say you want to upgrade to the new OS from Windows 10 on one of your computers. Sign into Windows 10 on that PC and insert the USB drive or DVD into the computer. Browse to the files on the USB drive or DVD and double-click the setup.exe file.
Microsoft informs you what files and settings will be kept, and recaps what is about to be installed. Click Next, accept the license terms, then click Install. Windows 11 runs the upgrade and then reboots. Sign in, and Windows 11 should be up and running.
Install Windows 11 From Scratch
Alternatively, you may want to install Windows 11 fresh. In this case, you could use a computer that has no operating system or one that has an OS you want to simply wipe out. Insert the USB drive or DVD into the computer and power it up. Press the appropriate key for your computer to access the boot menu. Select the USB drive or DVD.
The Windows 11 installation and setup should automatically start. The first screen confirms your language, time, and keyboard. Click Next, then Install Now. Enter a product key or bypass that screen if you don’t have one right now. Choose your version of Windows 11 and then select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced) as the type of installation you want.
At the next screen asking where you want to install Windows, choose the primary partition, which should be empty if no OS exists. Otherwise, choose the Windows partition if you want to wipe out your current version of Windows with Windows 11, then click Next.
Windows 11 will then be installed. After the installation, follow the steps to set up the new OS. You then should be deposited in your new Windows 11 environment.

The movies have always loved giving actors the chance to play rock star or impersonate an iconic musician/singer, recreating those famous “Eureka!” studio moments and greatest-hits shows for any number of music biopics. When it comes to historical musical moments, however, there’s nothing like seeing the real thing. A number of documentarians saw the advantage of capturing a number of legendary artists and bands in their heyday and/or once-in-a-lifetime performances — partially for posterity, partially for plain old reportage and partially for the second-hand high of it all. And thanks to new access to archives and updated technology, a whole generation of filmmakers have come up learning the art of docu-portraits and genre breakdowns that run the gamut from sub-subgenres to broad stem-to-stern histories of rock, jazz and country-and-western. It’s never been easier to make a music documentary these days. Not all of them, of course, are created equal.
So in honor of Peter Jackson’s Get Back — a new six-episode look back at the Beatles putting together the album Let It Be even as they were beginning to fall apart — we’ve compiled a list of the 70 greatest music documentaries of all time: the concert films, fly-on-the-wall tour chronicles, punk and hip-hop and jazz time capsules, and career assessments of everyone from Amy Winehouse to the Who that have set the standard and stood the test of time. The last time we did this was in 2014, and to say that the form has produced a number of classics since then would be an understatement. Play this list loud.

Today, the Japanese parliament will consider moves by the government to resume commercial whale hunting.
Currently, Japan gets around the international ban on commercial whaling via a loophole in the rules that allows the slaughter of whales for scientific research. Japan conducts these ‘research’ hunts in the Southern and Pacific oceans, and the proposed new bill will enshrine funding for research whaling into the Japanese national budget. The demand for whale meat in Japan has fallen and the government subsidise the industry.
Animal welfare groups in Japan have criticised the potential new whaling law, stating that the proposed bill is ‘designed only to continue research whaling no matter what the cost — to either the whales, Japan’s international reputation, or to the Japanese taxpayer’.
Japan has been under pressure from the international community over its current so-called scientific whale hunts. These are seen by many as merely commercial whaling in disguise anyway as little scientific knowledge of any value is gathered from the hunts, and much of the meat ends up on sale anyway.
Just days ago, a committee of scientific experts at the International Whaling Commission (the global body that regulates whaling) backed previous conclusions by an independent panel that the North Pacific hunts were ‘currently unjustified, and should be halted until more research has been conducted’.
In 2014, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Japan’s Antarctic whaling programme in the Southern Ocean was illegal and had to stop as it had failed to yield any meaningful scientific results.
As recently as this January, the European Union issued a formal statement of concern regarding Japan’s whaling practices. The strongly worded letter highlighted the lack of scientific justification for the Antarctic hunts, and also criticized Japan’s decision to start the new ‘research’ hunts in the North Pacific in 2017.
The scientific value of this slaughter has also been called into question by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) – the global authority on the status of the natural world.
On the 12th June Japanese hunting vessels left Abashiri Port in Hokkaido to begin killing up to killing170 minke whales and 134 Sei whales to determine aspects such as sex and age.
Yasuhiro Sanada, fisheries researcher at Waseda University in Tokyo, said whaling was a matter of pride for the Japanese. Many in the country see whale hunting as a cultural right, but large scale, industrial whaling is a relatively new phenomenon in Japan, starting after World War II when animal protein was in short supply.
As part of our ongoing campaign to stop whaling, WDC and Care2 submitted a petition to the European Parliament containing 270,000 signatures, calling on the EU to raise the issue of whaling in its trade negotiations with Japan and to say ‘no’ to a Free Trade Agreement while Japan kills whales.
The EU Commission has responded saying that whaling will not even be discussed during the trade talks, so we are asking the public to make their views clear on whaling by sending a tweet or an email to Cecilia Malmström, the EU Commissioner for Trade and the person in charge of the EU’s trade negotiations.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO SUPPORT OUR CAMPAIGN, YOU CAN ALSO MAKE A DONATION. THANK YOU.

The biggest killer of whales and dolphins across the world is accidental capture in fishing gear, or ‘bycatch’. Several hundred thousand whales and dolphins are estimated to die this way each year.. Many others are injured.
How big is the problem?
There are very few parts of the ocean where there is fishing and this is not a serious issue. But, the extent of the threat, the species concerned and the fisheries involved vary and generally, are not well documented.
To most individual fishermen, a whale or dolphin accidently encountering their gear is an infrequent event. No fisherman wants to catch a whale or dolphin by accident, and it is an upsetting event. But, given the size of the global fisheries, in 2006 it was estimated that the numbers of whales, dolphins and porpoises caught each year is in the hundreds of thousands.
It’s a horrible way to die
Most dolphins trapped underwater by fishing gear die of asphyxiation (suffocation).
It’s likely that many suffer more stress and a longer time-to-death than animals in a slaughterhouse.
The threat from fishing - facts
- Hundreds of thousands of whales, dolphins and porpoises die in fishing operations annually.
- Death in fishing gear can be slow
- Bycatch has pushed vaquitas in the Gulf of California and Maui dolphins in New Zealand to the brink of extinction.
- The survival of harbour porpoises in the Baltic Sea is threatened
- Most of the endangered North Atlantic right whales and Gulf of Maine humpback whales off the US coast have been entangled in fishing gear.
- Fishermen are not intentionally capturing whales and dolphins
Whales, dolphins and porpoises can hold their breath for long periods of time. The smallest porpoise can remain underwater for over five minutes between breaths, and sperm whales can dive for over an hour between surfacing. The damage seen on bycaught individuals shows that many of them struggle desperately to escape and, often sustain horrific injuries.
The severe injuries regularly seen in bycaught whales, dolphins and porpoises are evidence of the suffering victims go through. Rope and netting often cause cuts and abrasions to the skin, tightening as the individual struggles and cutting deeper into the flesh. In extreme cases, fins and tail flukes can be totally or partially amputated by the tightening gear. Bodies of bycaught dolphins are commonly recorded as having broken teeth, beaks or jaws and extreme internal injuries.
Large whales who become entangled in fishing gear have been found with severe lacerations deep into their blubber and even into their bones. As large whales are often powerful enough to swim away and pull the gear with them, the rope continues to tighten and cut into their body over time, often resulting in a slow and painful death that can last months.
For a more in-depth understanding of the issue, you might want to read our report ‘Shrouded by the Sea’. This study, based on research by the University of Bristol, reveals the harrowing details of how whales and dolphins slowly meet their death, many suffering extreme injuries in what can be a very drawn out underwater struggle.
What is WDC doing?
WDC campaigns to reduce and - where possible - eliminate whale and dolphin bycatch in fishing gear of all kinds..
- We work on government stakeholder teams where we help to develop regulations to reduce this threat.
- We work with international forums, such as IWC and CMS, to develop policy and encourage national governments to do more to reduce bycatch.
- We engage with fishermen, to find solutions.
- We help to develop best practise to assist fishermen to reduce bycatch.
- We push for and draft new legislation to improve existing bycatch measures.
- We critically review existing legislation for its effectiveness.
- We research vulnerable whale, dolphin and porpoise populations.
- We campaign to raise awareness and let people know what they can do to help.
Species most at risk
North Atlantic right whale
Fewer than 500 North Atlantic right whales remain, and less than 100 breeding females. We know that most of the whales have been entangled in fishing ropes during their lives. In 2017, at least 18 individuals died due to entanglements and ship strikes. WDC are working on the ground with all the stakeholders to come up with innovative and effective ways to prevent these deaths and to save this population.
Vaquita are the most endangered porpoise or dolphin in the world, due to fishing with nets to catch totoaba for the Chinese market. They are only found in the northern park of Mexico's of the Gulf of California. Unless the fishing nets can be removed from their habitat, they will be extinct within the next decade.
Only 63 Maui dolphins remain. The population has crashed because they get easily caught in fishing trawler and static gillnets. WDC are working on the ground to protect Maui and their close relatives, Hector's dolphins from the threats they face, and particularly fishing in their core habitat.
Please help us prevent deaths in nets
By adopting a whale or dolphin, by making a donation, or by fundraising for WDC, you can help us save these amazing creatures.
Adopt a whale or dolphin and help us end these needless deaths.
Your gifts help us take action to save whales and dolphins.
Run, bake, walk, cycle… what could you do to help?

Don’t Miss Out On These Signed Collector’s Items: The Who Music Memorabilia
The Who were one of the iconic bands that rose to fame during the British Invasion in the 60s. Original members of the band are Roger Daltrey, John Entwhistle, Keith Moon, and Pete Townshend. They rocked every arena audience they played for with their textured and stylish song suites and became one of the rock genre’s most influential and innovative bands.
The beginnings of The Who were very typical. Townshend and Entwhistle first met as high school colleagues. The pair eventually joined a band called the Detours, where they met Roger Daltrey. Eventually, they decided that they needed a name more striking than The Detours and ended up with “The Who”. While at first the name was a tad confusing, it stuck and worked exceptionally well on the band’s posters. Keith Moon eventually joined the band after their original drummer Doug Sandom had to part with them. This created the band as we know them today.
The Who’s lead songwriter was the talented Townshend. As the band’s principal songwriter, he also dictated the band’s style. Unlike most rock bands, The Who’s music relied heavily on their guitarist’s skill. This allowed Moon, their drummer, and Entwhistle, their bassist, to improvise and experiment while Daltrey, their vocalist and founder, belted out his vocals. This sound was great for the group, but Townshend pushed the band’s boundaries to new heights. He became one of the greatest British songwriters of all time, as he helped the group earn the respect and admiration of casual fans and music critics alike.
With timeless hits like “My Generation” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, The Who have cemented themselves as one of Britain’s greatest gifts to the world of rock music. If you are a certified fan of the British band, then you can find rare and authentic The Who collectibles at Autographia.

Where Can I Find The Who Memorabilia for Sale?
You can find official merch by one of the most influential rock bands, The Who, on Autographia. From photos of the band members posing together to moments from their concert where Townshend is doing his famous power chord guitar technique, you can find them all for sale!
Can I Find The Who Signed Memorabilia by Drummer Keith Moon?
Yes, you can find rare photo cards and collectibles signed by drummer Keith Moon, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Roger Daltrey.
Although they are available at pretty high prices, you can browse our collection and find band members’ autographs on photos, indexes, guitars, and more.
Are The Who Collectibles Rare?
Yes, they are quite rare and valuable, especially to hardcore fans. When the English rock band formed, they were immediately well-received by rock music enthusiasts.
Having such influence, naturally, makes their merch valuable, which makes it go for pretty high prices. Getting your hands on an authentic signed photograph is quite difficult unless you know an official vendor that sells such items.
How Can I Get My Hands on an Officially Licensed The Who Signed Album?
You can check official merch stores such as Autographia, where we sell licensed autographed albums by The Who.
From their hit singles to their 100 million records, we have them all signed by the band members. All their rock opera, punk rock, and hard rock albums are available at our store, and you can check for authenticity to verify as well.
Find albums such as Endless Wire, Live Aid, Tommy, Who’s Next, and more signed by musicians.
Where Can I Find a The Who Signed Guitar by Bass Guitarist John Entwistle?
At Autographia, we have guitars signed by bassist John Entwistle. Other than that, you can also find a Gibson Epiphone guitar signed by Roger Daltrey and another electric guitar with a graphic of Pete Townshend’s face and his signature on it.
Are The Who Signed Posters Always Signed by All the Band Members?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rock band, The Who has sold countless posters with their members’ signatures on them. Most of the time, all the posters have everyone’s autographs on them. However, sometimes you may find posters with signatures of individual musicians.

Jamshedpur, June 18: Chief Minister Raghubar Das on Sunday announced that the government is getting ready to provide 24×7 medical support on national and state highways.
He went on to add that he was aware of the urgency to provide medical support to road accident victims. From July the Government will be launching first fleet of 50 ambulances and by November 15 onwards the state will have nearly 300 ambulances equipped with life support systems plying on national and state highways providing 24×7 services for road mishap victims.
�It is an ambitious project and we are looking forward to make it successful. The toll free number 108 will also be functional from July and ambulances will reach accident scenes within 15 minutes,� informed Das.
Das earlier laid the foundation stone of a park and a chhath ghat being developed by Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee on the bank of Subernarekha river in Bhojpur colony at Baridih. He was addressing media on the premises of Surya Mandir in the afternoon.
Questioned over the poor state of several existing trauma centers at Baharagora (on NH-33 in East Singhbhum district), the CM said, �There were issues with doctors� appointment at trauma centres. The Government is working on filling up the vacancies. During a recent review of the health department directives have been issued to fill up posts on contractual basis at the trauma centre.�
The CM further said those affected by underground mines fire in Dhanbad will be rehabilitated. �We want to start the rescue operation soon. We will be completing tenders within a fortnight for construction of 40,000 new houses for those affected in Dhanbad and shift them to new houses,� he said.
Das said the Union minister Nitin Gadkari had assured that Madhucon (constructing NH-33 road widening between Ranchi-Jamshedpur) will be completing the work by December (2017) or January (2018).
�We want to expedite the work being done. I have asked the NH authorities to ensure that all bridge construction projects completed during monsoon and after funds (Rs 400-crore) are released from Union government. The Union government will also be releasing Rs 800 crore for construction of two phases of ring roads in Ranchi by Madhucon Private Limited,� said Das.
The CM also said that government is keen on encouraging rural entrepreneurs set up solar farming and directive has been issued Jharkhand Renewable Energy Development Authority (JREDA) to provide solar lightings in all government establishments.
Das iterated the state government�s resolve in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vision, to double farmers� income by 2022 through agriculture, poultry, and dairy development projects.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emerge as multicomponent pollutants through many industrial processes, pose a serious threat to human health and the eco-environment due to their volatility, toxicity and dispersion. Hence, the study of competitive adsorption of multicomponent VOCs is of practical and scientific importance. Herein, the perlite-supported Fe3O4@SiO2@8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (perlite-Fe3O4@SiO2@8-HQ-5-SA) was designed as a novel magnetic nanoadsorbent by a simple strategy and employed for the competitive adsorption of multicomponent toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene in the vapor-phase targeted as VOCs. The successfully prepared perlite-Fe3O4@SiO2@8-HQ-5-SA was characterized by means of SEM, EDX, FT-IR, VSM and BET analyses. Adsorption capacities of 558 mg/g, 680 mg/g and 716 mg/g were achieved for single component toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene, respectively. It was concluded that the adsorption capacities for both binary and ternary components were significantly decreased compared to single component adsorption. The competitive adsorption capacity order of the binary and ternary component VOCs was xylene > ethylbenzene > toluene due to their competitive dominance. The rate-limiting kinetic analysis indicated that the adsorption rates were determined by both the film diffusion and intraparticle diffusion. The analysis of the error metrics demonstrated that the three-parameter isotherm models better described the adsorption data compared to the two-parameter models. In particular, the Toth model provided the closest fit to the experimental equilibrium data. The thermodynamic analysis indicated the spontaneous nature and probability (ΔG° <0), exothermic (ΔH° <0), physical (ΔH° <20 kJ/mol) and a declination in the degree of randomness (ΔS° <0) of the adsorption processes. The reuse efficiency of perlite-Fe3O4@SiO2@8-HQ-5-SA for toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene decreased to only by 88.91%, 88.07% and 87.16% after five recycles. The perlite-Fe3O4@SiO2@8-HQ-5-SA has a significant adsorptive potential compared to other adsorbents reported in the literature, thus it could be recommended as a promising nanoadsorbent for VOCs in industrial processes.

Have you resolved to learn a Scandinavian language or improve your current Scandinavian language skills in 2021? Of course there are mobile/web apps, like Duolingo and Babbel, and online and book-based options for independent study, but some of you may prefer regular, personal interaction with an instructor and other learners. Now that institutions have pivoted to offering virtual events and classes, there are many such options to consider. Winter session is open for registration at many Scandinavian centers around the country now.
Here are some options I’ve come across recently. Personally, we are familiar with and recommend Vesterheim’s Family Norwegian Language Adventures. We participated in the ones from October (friluftsliv), November (kos), and December (jul). It was a nice combination of language and culture with accompanying family activities and virtual interaction with other participants (read about our October adventure here).
Please share in the comments if you are familiar with or have experience with any other in-person programs that are now virtual.
Vesterheim’s Heritage and Language classes give students the tools to dive more deeply into their Norwegian roots and connect with cultural traditions. While most classes focus on the culture, language, and history of Norway, some are appropriate for anyone curious about heritage and identity. Some classes are specifically tailored for travelers while others help students travel in their imaginations. These classes sell out quickly (winter sessions are already full), so check back early for spring offerings. View upcoming classes.
A unique language learning option at Vesterheim is their Family Norwegian Language Adventures program. Each adventure promises family fun while learning some Norwegian language along the way.
Join Vesterheim in February for an adventure that will focus on eventyr, or fairy tales. Through short videos, hands-on activities, crafts, and light-hearted games, you and your family will learn and practice new Norwegian skills. In advance, a kit will be delivered right to your home containing supplies for these language activities, including a helpful reference sheet for all the new words and expressions you will be learning as well as a yummy treat. A scavenger-hunt-type activity using the GooseChase app will get you up and moving, exploring, embracing the adventure wherever you are and whenever you choose. Enrollment deadline for the February adventure is January 22, 2021. Register here.
Mindekirken Norwegian Language & Culture Program (Minneapolis, MN)
The Mindekirken Norwegian Language & Culture Program offers a range of language and literature classes for beginner to advanced students. For the 2021 winter session, literature classes feature the authors Jørn Lier Horst, Anne B. Ragde, Vidar Sundstøl, and Unni Lindell, as well as Netflix’s Norwegian TV series Hjem til jul. See a list of current class offerings here.
Mindekirken also offers an online Norwegian language and culture group for kids ages 6 to 10 called Den Norske Klubben. The winter session starts on January 3 and meets every other Sunday until March 14. The theme for the year is Sanger og fortellinger (songs and stories). With an informal structure, activities may include games, songs, art projects, and dramatic play. Each week is independent from the others, so children can attend as they are able. It is free to attend but registration is required.
The Scandinavian School & Cultural Center (San Francisco, CA)
The Scandinavian School and Cultural Center currently offers language classes for adults in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, as well as Finnish. All classes are taught by native speaking teachers with a focus on conversation and cultural literacy. See offerings here.
Scandinavian Language Institute (Seattle, WA)
The Scandinavian Language Institute offers language instruction classes to the general public in various levels of Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish. Class levels include Beginning, Know-A-Little (Continuing), Intermediate and Advanced plus some Specialty classes. Online classes are scheduled from 4- to 9-week segments throughout the school year depending on the language teacher. They offer live Zoom or pre-recorded classes. See schedules and descriptions here.
American Swedish Institute (Minneapolis, MN)
ASI offers both adult and youth Swedish and Finnish language opportunities. There are traditional classes for adults, Svenska Skolan for kids aged 6-12, and Swedish for Teenagers, a class for students aged 13-18 who are serious about learning Swedish. If you are just curious about Swedish or Finnish and not yet ready to commit to a multi-date class, they offer a virtual intro class for each language as well. See offerings here.
I wish you “lykke til” with any of your language learning endeavours in 2021!

It’s officially Christmas season! Bring on the eggnog, nutmeg, fruit cakes, and the decking of the halls with boughs of holly and the fa-la-la-la-la. Best of all, bring on the countdown! And, no, I’m not referring to the countdown to New Year’s Eve; I’m referring to the delicious countdown to Christmas! I am, of course, referring to advent calendars in all their delicious glory.
Now you could buy an advent calendar — many people do. But if you were to make your own, you could reuse or recycle something and cut down on waste. You’d be doing your bit for the planet in one more eco-friendly way. Every year, at Christmas, waste levels rise by over 30%. People are ditching packaging, wrapping paper, and all the Christmas trappings, and the planet is suffering.
Another upside to making your own advent calendar is that you can put your favorite chocolates or candies in the calendar; you may like milk chocolate, or you may have a favorite brand. Well, the sky’s the limit as far as treats are concerned. Or you could make a tea advent calendar with tea bags. I did that one Christmas and it was a blast.
Anyway, without further ado, let’s get onto the advent calendars!

According to new research developed by LendingTree, raising a child in the United States from birth to age 18 can cost approximately $237,482 dollarsthis figure represents more than 20% compared to 2016.
This average cost was evaluated without taking into account additional expenses such as medical care and savings for university; according to the agency, the annual average is more than $21,681 dollars. For Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree, This may be one of the reasons why many Americans are currently postponing or foregoing having children.s.
The analyst highlighted that “it is completely understandable that people are scared to death about how they are going to pay to raise that child, it is discouraging when you consider that in these figures we do not even take into account the cost of university, for example,” he told CBS.
The figures presented by LendingTree only take into account “basic” expenses such as: food, clothing, child taxes, but it does not add extracurricular activities, sports or university planssince the latter, for example, can double the cost of raising a child.
“Most people’s margin for financial error is pretty small, and a few hundred dollars here and there can be really significant when you’re on a tight budget and living paycheck to paycheck,” Schulz added.
Another analysis that LendingTree revealed is that Child care can be one of the highest expenses you can have while raising a child.currently amounts to $11,752 dollars per year, many parents do not have enough income to leave the workforce and dedicate themselves to the full care of the infant.
However, this price may vary depending on the state in which you reside since in many places child care can reach $25,000 a year.
This led to the conclusion that geographical location can affect the expenses incurred when raising a child, for example; Hawaii is shown as one of the most expensive, reaching $30,506 dollars annuallycompared to Mississippi where supporting a child until age 18 can cost about $15,555 a year.

Felipe Menguiano’s return to routine gives him “a little bit of anxiety.” This 35-year-old language teacher has spent the last few weeks at his home in Huelva, being happy. His routine was anarchic and disjointed, always ready to break. He didn’t have an alarm clock, so he got up whenever he wanted. Sometimes he went to the beach, other times he stayed home lazing around. He improvised meals with friends in bars and beach bars. “If you cover, little fish fried, crashed…” But that’s over.
Menguiano is back in Madrid, where he works. He answers EL PAIS via WhatsApp audios from the gym, to which he has returned after a while. The alarm clock has already been set for the first day of work, at 7:30. He will eat something in the school canteen: few carbohydrates, no fried foods. He will do sports three days a week; he will go out with friends on Fridays; shopping, on Saturdays; on Sunday to the movies or an exhibition… “Depending on my work schedule, I try to fit the rest of the activities into the few free hours I have left,” he summarizes. This prospect gives him some anxiety, but it is not serious. It happens every year when he returns to work and after a few weeks it goes away. Then he stops asking himself: “why can’t my life be more like it is on vacation?”
We live so immersed in routine that we are barely aware of its existence: we are too busy fulfilling it to notice it. But once a year, around this time, the enchantment is broken. We step away from our life for a month (or a week) and when we return to it, we begin to sense the rigid limits that oppress it. We went from absolute hedonism to the madness of capitalist productivity. From closing the day with a sunset and a mojito, to doing it with overtime, subway, gym and preparing the tupperware in the morning. Even the extra pay and the very word “summer” (which has no equivalent in other languages) underline the idea that we have limited leisure, relegating it to a specific time of year. Breaking the routine, once we return to it, seems like a chimera.
“It’s not so much about breaking it as much as including elements in it that make us feel good and improving it little by little,” explains Maria Palau, a psychologist specializing in emotional management. The routine itself is not the problem, but what we include in it. “If we had the money and time to always be on vacation, we would still create a routine, it would just be different,” she says. Take a walk on the beach, go to the gym, spareading, shopping, going out to dinner… The acts listed may sound exceptional, but if they are repeated daily, they will make up an enviable routine.
66 days of routine
Repeating habits is good for your health. A study from the University of Houston (USA) concluded that “people who are in good health adopt very routine behaviors.” Thus, those who maintain their ideal weight “tend to always eat the same thing, exercise constantly and do not skip any meals.” This study set the average time necessary to establish a new routine at 66 days. So, according to science, in a couple of months the majority of workers will once again be immersed in day-to-day schedules and will have forgotten the anarchic tranquility of vacations.
“If we had the money and time to always be on vacation, we would still create a routine, it would just be different”
Maria Palau, psychologist
This would also have positive effects on a psychological level. In adults, the lack of routines for a long time has a high mental cost. For this reason, retirees and the unemployed have less risk of suffering from anxiety, stress or depression if they set guidelines and obligations. “Routines give us stability and reduce stress and anxiety,” says Palau. By establishing a routine, our brain knows what to expect, which means less uncertainty. “Being able to predict what comes next gives us a feeling of control,” adds the expert. “And it allows us to be productive and carry out tasks that are not so pleasant for us.” This relationship between routine and productivity, although it has positive effects, can lead to normalizing perverse behaviors.
in his book Extreme productivity: increase your results, reduce your hours, MIT professor Bob Pozen explains: “I don’t really care what I eat for breakfast and I don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking, ‘pancakes or omelette?’ So I drink the same thing every morning. If things are not important, you can standardize them, make them a routine. That is a good strategy to be more productive.” It’s the same idea behind Steve Jobs’ repetitive outfit. “It’s a uniform. “I decided that I had a lot of decisions to make every day, so I wanted to simplify my life,” the former Apple CEO explained in his biography. This mentality, so typical of Silicon Valley, understands people as machines and talks about automating processes without taking into account that we are not talking about an assembly line, but about life. Turning small pleasures into routine, automatic, mechanical acts is something that many advise in pursuit of productivity.
Productive, not fun
This is where the routines of super early risers come from, those that books like The five o’clock club have become popular throughout the world. They export the idea of capitalist productivity to leisure, fixated on the chimera of self-realization. In the end it is not so much about finding time for yourself, but about getting up at dawn to do the things that your job and the time you invest in getting there do not allow you to do. This obsession with productivity has also reached the world of sports and personal care. Physical activity has been stripped of play and reduced to exercise charts (routines, according to sports jargon) to achieve better results, more normative bodies. Thus, gyms become efficient and aseptic places where there is no room for fun or team play. Athletes bend their knees, flex their arms and jump repetitively and vigorously, while listening to music or watching a series on their cell phone.
In his essay False Mirror, Journalist Jia Tolentino dedicates a couple of pages to talking about the sociology of the salad container, the one sold in many fast food chains in office areas. It is the perfect summary of the work routine: a quick, healthy and tasteless dish that can be eaten with one hand while you have your eyes fixed on the computer screen. The antithesis of the sardine skewer, or the little fish fried food that Menguiano ate on his vacation. “The consumer of prepared salads is an example of pure efficiency,” writes the author. “He has to eat a $12 salad in ten minutes because he needs the extra time to remain active in a job that allows him, in the first place, to routinely pay for a $12 salad.” It’s the salad that bites its tail.
But is there a middle ground between these two extremes? Between the total absence of routines and living subject to the tyranny of efficient living? Something like a little fish with mixed salad? Years ago, based on this idea, the neologism was coined work as a way to merge vacations and work, a promise of a better life.
“It combines the worst of both worlds,” sociologist Tracy Bowers, author of the book, bluntly summarizes by email. Bring work to life bringing work to life. “If you try to work during the holidays, you won’t be able to spend time with family or friends and you won’t disconnect. And your work can suffer too,” she points out. Furthermore, in these cases, it is always work that ends up colonizing leisure time and not the other way around, so the expert opts for a total separation. “Sometimes it can be better to take a vacation and get away completely, and when you are at work, dedicate your time and attention there,” she summarizes.
Bowers also advocates the benefits of a routine life. “People may think that it limits, but in reality it can enhance your virtues. When you do the same thing many times in the same way, you gain efficiency and productivity,” she reflects. But you don’t always want to be efficient and productive. Sometimes you just want to be happy, live in peace. Therefore, routines mutate depending on the context. They can be poison and antidote, problem and solution. They condemn love relationships, but brilliant careers are built on them. Routines structure our lives, but they also restrict it. A routine life is boring, so predictable that it seems to go on rails. Disconnecting from it can be beneficial, derailing usually ends in an accident. Although accidents are usually the most notable events in a life, those on which biographies pivot.

How Rush’s Self-Titled Debut Pointed to Bigger Things
A trio of young Canadians kicked off what would ultimately become one of rock's more distinguished recording careers with the March 1, 1974 release of their self-titled debut album. But before Rush could do their country proud, they'd have to go through Cleveland first.
It sounds like an unorthodox journey, but then nothing with this band's early career developed through the expected channels.
Coming up during a time when the phrase "Canadian rock" still conjured up the meat-and-potatoes image of acts like the Guess Who or Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the guys in Rush – bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and early drummer John Rutsey – favored a harder, more ambitious sound that made room for extended jams and left some critics grasping at Led Zeppelin comparisons.
Unsurprisingly, Rush initially found few supporters in the Canadian record business. "Canadian companies are only interested in immediate money and hits," Lee later argued. "They try to mold you into a commercial band and they're afraid to invest in a band for the long run."
Added Lifeson, "I'd hate to see what would have happened to Pink Floyd or Uriah Heep, had they started in Canada. The companies would have said they were too heavy and needed to commercialize, and they probably wouldn't have gotten any airplay on the radio."
Not that catering to commercial concerns really helped Rush in the beginning anyway. One of their earliest sides, a cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," came and went without raising much of a ripple, and the group ultimately opted to record their first album on their own dime.
Listen to Rush Perform 'Finding My Way'
They ran through a short late-night session conducted on the cheap with producer Dave Stock at Toronto's Eastern Sound studio, then decided to take another pass at their growing catalog of original material. Rush recorded some new tracks during self-produced sessions at the new studio, while adding overdubs to their existing cuts.
"We had offers from other Canadian labels, but we decided to do it ourselves," Lee explained in an early press kit. "We did part of the album at Eastern Sound in Toronto in early 1973, but figured we could do better. So in November we went to Toronto Sound to re-record some of it and totally remix it."
Added Lifeson, "The first stab at the album was done in eight hours following a gig. We were warmed up after the show, and it came very easy. Then it was recut in November in about three days, including mixing time. We were lucky in that most of the songs came in two or three takes."
Rather than sign with an existing label, Rush created their own – Moon Records – and pressed a few thousand copies of their debut. Without the benefit of major-label distribution, breaking into radio and retail markets proved a difficult proposition. Still, the band's hard-touring work ethic helped them gain a foothold in a number of markets where they might not otherwise have stood a chance – Cleveland, for example.
Local WMMS DJ Donna Halper famously made the Rush cut "Working Man" a cult hit, and helped bring Rush to the attention of Mercury Records. Like many future Rush fans, Halper said she felt like an outsider, and took solace in their music.
Listen to Rush Perform 'Working Man'
"I had a very contentious relationship with most of the upper management at WMMS," she later told RushTrader. "I was a non-smoker, a non-drinker and a non-drug user in a city where the 'album-rock lifestyle' included all three – and where most of the people with whom I worked had a very hard time accepting my being what today would be called 'clean and sober.'
"But Rush, who I must tell you enjoyed partying (although not to any extremes that I ever saw), totally accepted and respected me and never had a problem with my avoidance of substances," Halper added. "I became their mentor and big sister, and they became my friends. And at the Agora, suddenly I wasn't an outcast or somebody weird. I was important, and I was appreciated."
But just as things started to take off for Rush, the group was forced to make a change at the drummer position. John Rutsey found himself unable to tour for extended periods of time, due to health complications. Rush wasn't in a position to leave the road, however, so they moved forward with a different drummer.
Neil Peart's distinctive fills – and thoughtful lyrics – added a new level to the band's sound starting with their next album, 1975's Fly by Night. As such, Rush shows the band in a relatively early stage of development.
Still, the singular determination and commitment to craft that ultimately earned Rush a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is very much on display in these eight tracks. It was all onward and upward from here.

Don’t Fall For The ‘Additional Postage’-Two Stamp Ballot Scare Tactic
Let's face it - there are a lot of hoaxes and scare tactics floating around in 2020 -- coming from both sides of the political aisle. Whether it's about the COVID-19 Pandemic or various political theories, there is quite frankly a lot of disinformation being presented as fact on social media.
One of the more-common scare tactics that I have seen in the last month or so concerns the upcoming general election in November. For a variety of reasons, many are choosing to vote via absentee ballot. Because of this, the internet (social media, etc) is clogged with memes and pictures used to confuse and make people question the amount of postage they put on their ballot envelope and whether of not it will get to the election officials (and, as a result - whether or not their vote will be counted).
This is an unnecessary risk. Let me say this a different way - you don't need to worry about how many stamps you put on your ballot. Truth of the matter is you could drop that official absentee ballot in the mailbox without any postage on it and it would be delivered in the case of a federal election.
First off - let's get one thing factually straight about this issue: yes, postage is owed on an absentee ballot and someone has to pay for it. Many of these ballots arrive from the election officials to your mailbox with postage paid on it already (i.e. they've already taken care of it). A few states that don't cover the cost of mailing an absentee ballot back will clearly label how much postage is needed (i.e. there's no guessing whether or not you've put enough stamps on the envelope). Some states have "overage" accounts set up where they prepay an assumed amount, and if the actual letter comes back as owing more - that "overage" account covers the additional costs.
However, when it's all said and done - that official absentee ballot envelope would be delivered to the election officials even if there wasn't postage affixed to it. "If a ballot is nevertheless returned with short-paid or unpaid postage, it is the Postal Service’s policy not to delay the delivery of completed absentee or vote-by-mail ballots". To make up the shortfall, the U.S. Postal Service collects unpaid postage from the "appropriate board of elections".

Breast Pumps: The Best For The Babies by Breasty Fedy
Women are always concerned about children, especially with their own children. And this can lead women to do many things in order to protect their babies.
Breast pumps are just one of these things women do and use for provide their babies with the best care they can. Used for different reasons, breast pumps are the answer for women who don’t have enough milk to provide for their children or at least have difficulties to be with their babies in the time they need to eat.
In addition to that, breast pumps are also used in order to provide with human breast milk babies whose mothers had problems after or during delivery and cannot feed their babies.
Breast pumps and solidarity
People can stand by for other people more than we think. There are women that use breast pumps just to store milk and donate it to milk banks in order to help those mothers who cannot feed their babies.
It is also used to keep the production of milk by the hormones even after the child stopped being fed with human breast milk. This is common in the country where people sometimes have some difficulty to find milk bank. The women keep extracting milk so the hormones will keep the production and she will be able to help another mother to feed her baby.
Breast pumps models
There are two types of breast pumps: mechanical and electric.
The mechanical breast pumps are pretty similar to those milk machines used in the commercial of dairy production. This model allows people to control the pressure and the frequency of pumps.
The electrical breast pumps are usually used for a long-term use of these equipments. In this powered model, where a small motor supplies suction through plastic tubing to a horn that fits over the breast. Pay attention to the fact that the portions of the pump that come into direct contact with the expressed milk must be sterilized to prevent contamination.
Every women should have further reading about breast pumps due to the importance and the paper it plays on a baby’s life.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 11, 2022 ) Projected Surge in Revenue Generation:
The global healthcare education market is projected to reach USD 125.2 billion by 2025 from an estimated USD 101.2 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 8.4%.
Major Growth Driving Factors:
The rising demand for digital learning, advancements in the healthcare sector, increased training needs to adapt to the changing technologies in the healthcare industry, and growing adoption of continuing medical education (CME) programs due to stringent regulatory mandates are some of the key factors attributed towards growth of the healthcare education market. However, lack of direct monitoring or face-to-face interactions is likely to pose negative impact on the market growth during the forecast period.
By provider, the universities and academic centers segment held the largest share of the healthcare education market in 2021
On the basis of provider, the healthcare education market is segmented into OEMs/pharmaceutical companies, universities and academic centers, continuing medical education (CME) providers, learning management system providers, educational platforms, and medical simulation providers. In 2021, the universities and academic centers segment captured the largest share of the healthcare education market.
Download PDF Brochure@
The large share of this segment is attributed to the dearth of healthcare workers across the globe, with the demand and supply gap of healthcare workers increasing. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (2017), only half of all countries have the requisite health workforce required to deliver quality healthcare services, critical to achieving universal health coverage (UHC). As a result, most of the countries are focusing on increasing the number of medical schools and increasing the intake of medical students.
Based on delivery mode, the eLearning solutions are expected to register highest CAGR during the forecast period
Based on delivery mode, the healthcare education market is divided into classroom-based courses and eLearning solutions. Classroom-based courses segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, while eLearning solutions are expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. eLearning solutions are becoming an increasingly recognized approach to continuing medical education (CME) for practical and theoretical reasons, owing to their greater flexibility in training schedules, improved accessibility and dissemination, reduced costs and time, greater adaptability to individual learning styles, and easier access to educational materials and updates.
Students segment garnered the largest revenue among the different end users of the healthcare education market
Based on end users, the healthcare education market is segmented into students, physicians and non-physicians. In 2021, the large share of the students segment can be attributed to the growing awareness of digital education and its positive impact on career growth. Increasing internet penetration and awareness of various online courses among students have led to the increased adoption of education solutions. Benefits such as cost-effectiveness, affordability, and increased flexibility offered by these solutions are expected to further drive the market growth.
Geographical Growth Dynamics:
North America is expected to dominate the healthcare education market, while registering the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The global healthcare education market has been categorized on the basis of four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2021, North America, comprising the US and Canada, held the leading share of the healthcare education market, followed by Europe. Factors such as the increasing number of CME programs and the rising number of grants and investments by public and private players are driving the market for healthcare education in North America.

Muros Antigos Vinho Verde 2020
Vinho Verde is a widely consumed white wine from Northern Portugal. The wine tends to be made from local grapes such as Alvarinho (Albarino), Loureiro, Arinto, and Azal.
Vinho Verde is a light, refreshing wine with lots of floral and green fruit notes. The wine often has a slight carbonation to it, though not enough that it could be referred to as a sparkling wine.
A Vinho Verde region was established in 1908, though the area didn't receive its Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC) until 1984. The wine is thought to have originated in the Minho province in the far north of Portugal.
The carbonation in the bottle occurs from a process called malolactic fermentation, and while this is typically considered to be a defect in the wine the Vinho Verde producers found that the consumers rather liked it.
Because of the wine's bracing acidity and oceanic minerality it should be considered to be the ultimate partner to raw shellfish.

Chrome certainly has a larger library of extensions, but Opera is compatible with many of these in addition to its own dedicated add-ons. Even with all these included features, Opera doesn’t skimp on third-party extensions, either. There are plenty of dedicated Opera add-ons, and because the browser is based on Chromium, it can also use a large share of Chrome extensions. There’s some basic customization you can do, including dark and light modes, wallpapers and themes. Integration with popular messaging apps, like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, is also included, and you can access them through the shortcut bar on the left side of the screen. This is incredibly convenient, as you don’t have to dedicate separate tabs to these applications.
Want to learn the difference between # Opera # Browser and # Opera Mini? Confused which browser is better for your smartphone and why? As my current phone is OnePlus 6T, the Opera Touch makes more sense it keeps the options within reach.
How To Add Website Shortcuts To Your Home Screen With Opera
Then empty the Trash to uninstall Opera on macOS entirely. In the CPU tab, select the processes associated with Opera. Click the Х icon in the left corner of the window to close them. How to uninstall Opera with App Cleaner & Uninstaller. Using APKPure App to upgrade Opera Mini, fast, free and save your internet data.
- For example, if you torent via external software your ISP would be able to see your torent activity.
- When you sign into WhatsApp Web, you can check a box under the QR code which says keep me signed in.
- They are easy to use, they hide your traffic from view, and if there is ever any exposure of your data, a kill switch will instantly sever your internet connection to prevent data leaks.
- Using your remote, toggle and highlight this option and press “Select” on your remote.
- For those who don’t know, BlueStacks is just an Android visit the following website app player, a Virtual Machine wrapped for your PC with which you can run from games to regular apps, for Smartphones and/or tablets.
Well of the 5 major browsers to choose from, they can’t buy IE/Edge since it is owned by Microsoft and they’re too large for China to purchase. Can’t purchase Google for the same reason, so Chrome is out of the equation. Then you have Apple which is the most valuable company in the world, so that leaves Safari out too. I remember Opera was the most feature filled and lightweight browser package in the old days before extensions arrived on the scene. Firefox became too customizable with a large library of add-ons, but Opera retained a loyal fanbase.
Opera: A Stand
Many will also appreciate its built-in ad blocker, video popup feature, Speed Dial start tab, and particularly its privacy- and security-enhancing VPN feature. But for a more satisfying Web experience, look to our Editors’ Choice in Windows Web browsers, Mozilla Firefox. In light of all the controversy over Chrome being a drain on laptop batteries, I ran PCMag’s battery rundown test. In this I charged the battery full, unplugged and played a song on SoundCloud in an endless loop, having connected the audio output to a plugged-in PC recording the sound in Audacity. The browsers were loaded with the same 10 media-heavy websites. I also kept the screen brightness at maximum, which helps account for the short time results I saw.
At its heart is a tracker blocker, a tool that prevents advertising and audience measurement networks from profiling you as you move around the web. Ghostery makes it easy to prevent certain services from following you, or to turn off all the trackers it knows about. Ghostery Privacy Browser is free, and runs on iOS 8.0 and higher on iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Chances are your corporate IT policy dictates which browser you use on your laptop or desktop.

We recently finished up our Davenport Remodel project and boy, let me tell ya, this home had quite the transformation! This family of five was an absolute delight to work with. They had recently moved to Austin into a beautiful, Mediterranean-style home. They were looking to tone the style down and give it a more modern approach. This home is full of remarkable views, so our goal for the design was to remodel and refresh the spaces to feel fresh, clean, and formal.

Calltracks are sponsoring MeasureCamp on 26th March
We are approaching a very busy period on the calendar, sponsoring three events in the coming months.
First on the list is MeasureCamp, next Saturday 29th March, taking place at Etc Venues in Victoria. MeasureCamp is not your standard format as it is an ‘unconference’. As the organisers say “it is different to other analytics conferences because it is driven by the attendees“.
There is no pre-planned schedule or time table, and instead the agenda is set throughout the day, by anyone who wants to hold a session or facilitate a discussion. In our opinion this is by far one of the best analytics events of the year, and while it may be fully sold out, there are still some spaces available at training workshops taking place on the Friday. To find out more about these visit http://www.measurecamp.org/measurecamp-training/
We are also proud to be one of the Gold sponsors for the 2nd year in a row. In fact we have been sponsoring MeasureCamp since it started back in September 2012, and are looking forward to another great ‘unconference’ later this month.
If you are lucky enough to have grabbed yourself a ticket make sure you pop by and say hello as we will be there throughout the day. Obviously if you have any questions regarding call tracking please make sure to ask us, although we will be just as happy chatting about anything analytics or digital.
If you are unable to attend MeasureCamp this time round, but want to find out more about what goes down, popular talks and updates about the next MeasureCamp, make sure you stay tuned to our blog as we will be doing a detailed follow up after the event.

Learn how to be better at problem-solving
Time to complete
It’s one of the most coveted skills for the future yet is sorely lacking in almost all aspects of society.
Whatever the concern – social, economic, environmental, commercial, charitable or personal to name just a few - the overwhelming need remains the same: good problem-solving.
There are vast differences, of course, between the talents needed to fix any issue.
At work, for example, fixing a dodgy printer is less tricky than hiring an effective employee.
In turn, this isn’t as much of a challenge as drumming up new business in a slump or staving off collapse in a crisis.
Yet it’s not just during times of crisis where problem-solving proves its worth.
A great deal of success can be attributed to early identification of potential setbacks – and taking the right steps to prevent them.
Almost all business roles will throw up tricky challenges at least once in a while. In some, there can be several each day. That means effective problem solvers can be a considerable asset for any workplace, yet research suggests they are also in short supply.
So what can be done?
In any discipline – not just your work - applying a set of established techniques to tackle challenges might sound woolly, particularly if you know your problem poses a unique solution.
However, there are some common ways of thinking that can help in a wide range of scenarios.
No one set of measures will suit everyone but each of the six steps below could help you to see problems in a new light - and reveal previously hidden solutions.
1 Get as clear a picture as you can of the exact problem
“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”
This renowned quote from Albert Einstein gets to the heart of overcoming any setback.
Having a tightly defined idea of the issue you are trying to solve is the first step towards finding a solution.
In many cases, you may know you have a problem but aren’t yet sure of its specific cause. Framing the problem as a process to unpick can help you to work out where the issue lies. For example, imagine the company you’re working at runs into trouble with a series of misplaced deliveries. To solve the problem, don’t just focus on the deliveries. Identify every stage the delivery must go through, from the order being made through to its invoice, logistics, third parties, transport and goods being physically received.
Work through them chronologically to determine where errors are creeping in – and, for extra insight, it could be worth looking at the process in reverse too.
This can help you to get as much clarity as possible and glean a much sharper understanding of where your actual problem may lie.
2 Break it down into parts - and then prioritise
Many big problems can be broken down into a number of smaller tasks that you can take on separately.
If this is possible, work out what needs your attention straight away and decide what can wait. Prioritising like this can help make issues easier to deal with.
Instead of seeing a big blocker that’s impossible to shift, chipping away at it in stages can help even the biggest mountain seem surmountable. And by tackling the most urgent needs first, you can feel you’re staying on top of the issue.
Imagine a small food company lands its biggest ever order – 10,000 prepared meals – but it must deliver within 72 hours.
This is way beyond its current staffing, transport and production levels.
However, it can meet the order by first ramping up its food ingredients for supply, then hiring emergency agency staff, offering generous overtime pay to existing colleagues to cover the extra hours, and calling in a favour to borrow extra vans from contacts.
Whenever you get stuck, and time allows, a break can often help you reassess what’s gone wrong.
Try focusing on another task for 30 minutes before another try or – if urgency allows - leave the problem and come back to it the next day. Revisiting a tricky task with fresh eyes and reinvigorated thoughts can allow you to see it in a different way.
Known as the ‘incubation effect’, it’s understood to be most effective when you either switch off entirely and let yourself daydream, or engage instead on a simple alternative task.
3 Try a fresh perspective by ‘visualising’ your problem
If you can visualise a problem, it could bring a useful new perspective – especially when you’re dealing with a great deal of complex information.
A 2019 study in South Africa found children were more likely to solve a word problem if they drew a diagram to help them: by using visualisation, they gained a deeper understanding of the task in hand.
The same principle applies in business although more refined techniques have been developed. For example, logic trees can help you identify your objectives and compare possible solutions while mind maps can help with brainstorming. It may sound old-fashioned but if you’re stuck on a problem, this ‘pen and paper’ approach could help you see another side to a possible solution.
4 Use your own – and others’ – experience
You can draw on your experience of previous problems, whether at work or in your personal life, to try and help solve today’s challenges.
Individual setbacks may be wildly diverse in nature but they often carry enough similarity for you to be able to try out solutions that were successful in the past.
Say you’ve identified a drastic lack of communication between two teams or departments that’s holding up a project.
It’s likely you’ve dealt with similar problems before - perhaps a clash of egos lay behind similar breakdowns, a lack of understanding of processes, or wilful lack of co-operation.
The way you managed to repair relations in the past should be able to give you a strong indicator for a solution this time.
See if you can bring in other perspectives too. Everyone approaches problems in slightly different ways and brings their own experience to an issue.
Being able to tap into a wide range of views can trigger ideas that may not be obvious if you tackle a problem on your own.
This is known as being ‘cognitively diverse’ – having a difference in perspectives or ways to process information.
And where a workplace or team is more cognitively diverse, it tends to be faster at solving problems. For this approach to work, your colleagues must feel free to say what they really think.
As an example, take an organisation where a slump in revenue has led to poor service standards.
When asking employees for opinions on ways to boost turnover, it’d be key to explain that the problem-solving process is not about placing blame – instead, it’s about finding out how to improve the company’s collective performance.
This can then encourage a more creative response to the problem from team members because their fear of culpability has been removed.
In this kind of collaboration, be aware that much of a solution’s success will be down to its clear communication as well as execution.
5 Weigh up your options
Whatever the problem - personal or professional, major or minor - there’s usually more than one answer.
But once you’ve managed to devise a number of possible outcomes, it’s vital to pick one that best suits you and your particular set of circumstances.
This is often the trickiest part of problem-solving – having got so far in your search to find a way out, it can be a wrench to pick a poor response and end up back at square one.
Assess each possible solution and list its pros and cons, as well as any additional implications they may have.
Be as honest and thorough as you can with each to eventually decide on an apt solution.
As with visualising, don’t shy away from taking a pen to jot down a list of all your options – it can be a huge help to see your choices spelled out in front of you rather than as a complicated thought process.
6 Found a solution? Keep a close eye on it
As a rule, your problem-solving shouldn’t end when you’ve found a fix. It’s critical to monitor the situation and keep an eye on its success (or otherwise) in case you need to change tack swiftly.
One way is to set a time limit by which you’d expect to notice a boost or positive impact from your decision.
You can then review and – if necessary – try to make amends.
For example, a construction company may change its supplier to improve the standard of building materials and cut down the number of costly complaints about quality.
Over six months, this helps to reduce the number of customers unhappy at the quality of materials. However, the new supplier is frequently unable to provide the right supplies on time – prompting a rise in customer complaints about delays.
Managers must then address a new problem created out of the old one.
Think of problem-solving as an ongoing process. If you practise it regularly, it won’t just be a tool you draw on in a crisis but an effective way of improving your decision-making.

Psychological Effects of Nature in Pet-Friendly Interiors – Introduction Video
Why is Nature Important in Evidence-Based Design for Pet-Friendly Interiors?
More than 99% of human history as a species was spent with nature, to which we evolved to be responsive. From an evolutionary perspective, the human body evolved in a natural environment, not the artificial built environment we are used to.
Large-scale food production began around 10,000 years ago (Hopkins, n.d.), the first city around 6,000 years ago (Mark, 2012), mass production of goods and services around 400 years ago (Kellert & Kalabrese, 2015), industrial revolution around 176 years ago, and electronic technology that seems so familiar today, just in the 19th century.
This is the primary argument for “biophilia,” which states that humans have an intrinsic inclination to nature, even in the modern world, contributing to people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing (Kellert & Kalabrese, 2015). This topic dramatically weighs evidence-based design because it helps interior designers create positive outcomes and quality design strategies based on evidence and credible research.
While taking nature (biophilia) into consideration in interior design, 14 patterns fall into three different categories. These elements can be beneficial in interior designs for the connection humans have with nature, rendering interiors more liveable and comfortable; moreover, a list of health- and psychological-related benefits will be presented.
This article should provide designers with the evidence-based design knowledge needed to enhance the built environments and, in consequence, will allow the interior designer to promote health and wellbeing based on this research.
Also, to learn which houseplants are safe for dogs and cats, visit our article Safe Houseplants for Dogs and Cats, and very importantly, visit our article 20+ Houseplants Poisonous to Dogs to know which ones to avoid.
What are The Psychological Effects of Nature on Pets?
It’s no secret that dogs have an innate connection to the natural world. After all, they are descendants of wolves who have spent centuries living in harmony with the environment. As such, dogs have evolved to be highly responsive to nature, and research shows they often react positively to the presence of plants and animals. In fact, research has shown that dogs who live in urban environments are significantly more calm and relaxed when exposed to green spaces.
Furthermore, you might have seen how your pet instinctively knows where to hide when they feel threatened, looking for Refuge from the threat of Risk/Peril, as mentioned earlier. They know precisely which sofa to hide under or which corner gives him the most protection. This behavior is likely a vestige of their wild ancestors, who would have used these same strategies to avoid predators.
Thus, it is clear that dogs have a solid connection to the natural world and benefit psychologically from exposure to nature. Therefore, we can argue that most if not all of these principles can be applied to how pets feel in any given environment.
And while your dog or cat may not be able to tell you how much they appreciate the fiddle-leaf fig in the living room, there are a few ways to know if your plant is positively impacting your pet’s mental state. For example, if your pet is spending more time near the plant or seems more relaxed in general, the plant is likely helping to reduce their stress levels.
What are the Psychological Effects of Nature on Humans?
Humans have an innate connection to nature. For centuries, we have looked to the natural world for inspiration, solace, and physical sustenance. And there is a good reason for this: numerous studies have shown that contact with nature can positively impact our mental and physical health.
For example, research has shown that spending time in nature can help to reduce stress levels, improve moods, and increase feelings of vitality. Nature can also help to improve cognitive function and increase levels of creativity. In addition, contact with nature has been linked with lower rates of anxiety and depression.
According to biophilic design, there are 14 patterns that have an effect on humans, supporting stress reduction, cognitive performance, emotion, and mood enhancement of the human body to further stress the importance of following these patterns and how they influence humans.
Nature in the Space
This pattern tackles nature in its physical and ephemeral manifestation, including plant life, water, animals, breezes, sounds, scents, and other natural elements (Browning et al., 2014) in the built environments. Examples of these manifestations can include but are not limited to “potted plants, flower beds, bird feeders, butterfly gardens, water features, fountains, aquariums, courtyard gardens and green walls or vegetated roofs” (Browning et al., 2014). Having this knowledge and guidelines should help designers improve their design decisions based on evidence that ensures the best possible outcomes and improves the dweller’s health. The first seven patterns fall under this category and are:
1.- Visual Connection with Nature
A view of elements of nature, living systems, and natural processes.
2.- Non-Visual Connection with Nature
Auditory, haptic, olfactory, or gustatory stimuli engender a deliberate and positive reference to nature, living systems, or natural processes.
3.-Non-Rhythmic Sensory Stimuli
Stochastic and ephemeral connections with nature may be analyzed statistically but may not be predicted precisely.
4.- Thermal and Airflow Variability
Subtle changes in air temperature, relative humidity, airflow across the skin, and surface temperatures mimic natural environments.
5.- Presence of Water
A condition that enhances the experience of a place through seeing, hearing, or touching water.
6.- Dynamic and Diffuse Light
Leverages varying intensities of light and shadow that change over time to create conditions that occur in nature.
7.- Connection with Natural Systems
Awareness of natural processes, mainly seasonal and temporal changes, is characteristic of a healthy ecosystem
As the name states, these patterns evoke elements if nature directly or indirectly, so all design professionals should include them in their design process. These can be achieved by using objects, materials, colors, shapes, sequences, natural patterns, artwork, ornamentation, furniture, décor, and textiles in the given space. For example, evidence-based design and research suggest that representing elements of nature like leaves carved up on furniture or natural materials that look as they did in their original states, such as wood planks or granite tables, can evoke a feeling of nature. The following three patterns fall into this category
8.- Biomorphic Forms and Patterns
9.- Material Connection with Nature
Materials and elements from nature that, through minimal processing, reflect the local ecology or geology and create a distinct sense of place.
10.- Complexity and Order
Rich sensory information adheres to a spatial hierarchy similar to those encountered in nature.
Nature of the Space
The last category tackles how space is configured in nature, including the inborn desire to be able to perceive a built environment outside of our immediate surroundings, curiosity for the unknown, and visual surprises. The last four patterns follow the last category.
An unimpeded view over a distance for surveillance and planning.
A place for withdrawal from environmental conditions or the main flow of activity, in which the individual is protected from behind and overhead.
The promise of more information is achieved through partially obscured views or other sensory devices that entice the individual to travel deeper into the environment.
An identifiable threat coupled with a reliable safeguard.
In conclusion, we can argue that the principles of how humans feel in the built environment can be applied to dogs as well. From an evolutionary perspective, humans and dogs have a long history of co-evolution, and as a result, they are both highly responsive to nature. Studies have shown that exposure to plants and animals can positively affect human health, reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation.
Nature provides us with changes: changes in weather, illumination during the day, changes in seasons, sounds, and other elements. So the built environment should shift during the day, with different amounts of lighting, different light hues, and varying temperatures which will, in consequence, enhance the quality of the design and the dweller’s health.
Additionally, nature also provides us with shelters, such as trees or caves, of different heights and sizes. Therefore, architects and designers providing spaces that serve as shelter to feel safe can be highly beneficial. These can be achieved by using different ceiling heights, window seats, canopy beds, and nooks.
Finally, we can argue that most if not all of these principles can be applied to how pets feel in any given environment. Dogs, like humans, are complex creatures with their own needs and preferences. However, both humans and dogs need to interact with nature to boost health, well-being, cognitive performance, and creativity.
For dogs, the benefits of exposure to nature are also well-documented. Dogs who spend time in parks and green spaces are less stressed and more relaxed than those who don’t. In addition, walking in natural environments has been linked with improved mental well-being in both humans and dogs. So next time you’re feeling frazzled, take your dog for a walk in the park and enjoy the calming effects of nature together.
Bringing nature into your home can be a great way to introduce pet-friendly plants and pet-friendly trees for your dogs. You can create a beautiful botanical indoors for your furry friends, adding color and texture to the area. Start by thinking about different houseplant trends which will suit your housing décor – from luxe foliage to cascading hanging gardens.
Talk to your plant, telling it how much you appreciate its beauty and joyful presence. Then consider the perfect spot in the room, ensuring enough sunlight is streaming through with natural light filtered from curtains or blinds. Use smart grow lights or moisture meters to optimize your plants’ growth for accurate readings.
It’s also important to research plant toxicity, as some species may be harmful to pets or people due to their chemicals and oils. Finally, take advantage of humidifiers if the indoor air is too dry in winter months, remembering that humidity levels are very important when looking after houseplants. With these tips in mind, pet-friendly indoor trees will flourish in no time!

How long have got you owned your vehicle? Does it even now shift through to be able to each gear efficiently and quietly? Features your car or perhaps truck been making strange noises, slipping gears, or surging unexpectedly? If any kind of this sounds familiar for you, it may possibly be time to possess the automatic transmitting cleaned and purged to bring back performance and even help protect that from costly vehicle repairs. Transmission repairs may be some associated with the most pricey you will ever before encounter, especially if the entire tranny has to become replaced. Repairs of this nature could potentially cost thousands associated with dollars. Why not give your vehicle’s transmitting the best possibility for a good existence by maintaining that properly and possessing an automatic transmission flush performed from the suggested preservation intervals.
A fresh transmission with clean up fluid can be a lovely thing. Tranny tube is the life blood of the system which operates through all the particular essential elements of an automatic transmission like the torque converter, indication pump, ATF chiller, and the cooler lines. Like several other systems, typically the automatic transmission makes an extraordinary quantity of heat which causes the fluid to be able to break down after some time. There is likewise the added difficulty of debris, crud, and varnish which could all contribute to be able to shifting problems and overall poor overall performance. Excessive debris can easily actually block the free flow involving fluid which could definitely cause performance troubles. It’s important that the transmission be ready to sustain enough pressure in which to stay gear. A dirty tranny that blocks the particular flow of liquid can cause a loss of hydraulic pressure which may result in gear slippage. Problems many of these as these could be cleared away having a full service indication flush.
A transmission flush isn’t a new very lengthy process and won’t put too much of a damage on your pocket guide. Having this preventative maintenance procedure executed at scheduled time periods will give you the most effective chance regarding preventing a high priced tranny breakdown. A fantastic, full service transmission clean will include a cleaning solution in addition to conditioner in inclusion to replacing the transmission fluid. Because we mentioned ahead of, a filthy transmission can easily cause a variety of overall performance problems. The cleaning solution will crack up any sludge or debris within the transmission system therefore it can be purged out. The conditioner is a great addition since it helps you to regain pliability from the seals to help stop any leakage. Ultimately, brand new transmitting fluid will become added to the system until all typically the old contaminated fluid is gone.
As a new general rule associated with thumb, it is usually suggested that an automatic transmission flush be performed each two years or each 30, 000 miles. Needless to say you need to always check the owner’s manual intended for maintenance recommendations specific to your vehicle. Any time dealing with a system just like the transmission with so many relocating parts that hinge on top quality substance for proper reduction in friction, it’s important to be able to take preventive maintenance seriously. If your current vehicle’s transmission is definitely shifting smoothly and even quietly, don’t get it for provided. Make sure it remains doing this by making an investment in an indication flush from period to time.

Not everyday you get invited to take part in painting a masterpiece but that is exactly what is on offer next month at the amazing IronArt forge in Bath’s Larkhall district.
Last year the city’s Parade Gardens hosted the first ever Festival of Ironwork and – besides all the events for the thousands who flocked there – eight master blacksmiths got down to the job of creating a masterpiece and a unique gift for Bath.
They have created panels for a new balustrade for the bandstand in the gardens and these will be set in the middle of an iron worked musical score.
All those notes need painting – and that’s where you can leave your mark on a new piece of city heritage – as Andy Thearle explains.
Three of the unique panels are still in need of a sponsor. Five thousand pound will get your name included on the artwork to be installed. The three are…..
Look on the National Heritage Ironwork Group website – http://www.nhig.org.uk – for more information.
If that’s a little out of your price range you can still sponsor a note – for £20 – via https://localgiving.org/appeal/bathiron/
This three-year long project is certainly creating one of the most original artworks produced for this city in years and l for one certainly hope the bandstand will be given a listing.
It’s not just about protecting old things but ensuring that the craftsmanship and artisanal skills of today can be safeguarded on their journey – as a new part of Bath’s heritage – into tomorrow.

This past week, writer/director Matt Reeves talked the most about his upcoming solo Batman film that he has in quite some time. However, if we take a close look at it, he really didn’t say anything new. Here’s what we do know…
- It’s a “DC Universe Movie” by virtue of it being a Batman film, but will focus specifically on the Batman sector of DC on film — i.e. “The Bat-Universe.”
- It’s going to be “noir-driven,” where Batman is focusing on personal, and specific case, and “takes us out into the world of Gotham.”
- Ben Affleck is “still involved;” though Reeves and Warner Bros. have yet to say that he’s returning and will play Batman/Bruce Wayne in THE BATMAN.
- Filming might start in the spring or summer of 2019.
And that’s basically it…except that Reeves’ Batman is going to be younger. Granted, Reeves hasn’t said that publicly, but the trade reports saying so are not “just rumors.”
Taking all of that into account, what will THE BATMAN be? Here are the options…
- A sequel of sorts featuring an older Batman set after the events of BATMAN v SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.
- A prequel featuring a younger Batman set years before the events of BATMAN v SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.
- A complete reboot featuring a completely new Batman on film continuity.
Of course, there are “combinations” of these three options that involve things such as recasting the lead actor and how to handle, ahem, “continuity.” Let’s break them down, shall we?
I find this the least likely possibility whether Ben Affleck returns, or if Reeves recasts and a new actor plays the same Batman/Bruce Wayne. In fact, I think the percentage of this happening is the same as John “Bluto” Blutarsky’s GPA in ANIMAL HOUSE.
Why? That would be due to good ‘ol continuity! If Reeves’ Batman is a decade-plus younger than the Batman in BvS and JL, and his film is technically in-continuity, then it can not take place after those two movies.
This one’s going to have, well, “sub-options,” OK? Also, I believe one of these sub-options will prove to be the route Mr. Reeves takes with THE BATMAN.
OPTION #2/SUB-OPTION #1
Matt Reeves 100% adheres to the continuity and aesthetic set up by BATMAN v SUPERMAN/JUSTICE LEAGUE, casts an actor who is the same, but younger, version of the one we saw in those two films.
I’m not thinking this is going to happen.
Why? Because Matt Reeves didn’t sign onto this project to make a Batman film in which he’d be creatively restricted and pigeonholed towards a continuity-demanded ultimate endgame.
Also, if you’re a fan of DC films being inter-connected, keep in mind that if Reeves went this route, the only character that would co-exist this younger, DC on film Batman is Wonder Woman (and that is only because it was retconned after BvS). Remember, the world didn’t know about any of the metahumans (The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and Superman) until BvS.
OPTION #2/SUB-OPTION #2
It’s a “prequel” in name only. Essentially, Reeves casts a younger actor as Batman and “soft-reboots” (i.e. “conveniently ignores” BvS and JL) the franchise going forward.
I find this option a sorta “win-win” for fans and the audience. Continuity/shared universe fans can believe that this Batman lives in a world inhabited by other DC characters, while those who don’t like that stuff won’t have it shoved down their throats (i.e. cameos, Easter eggs, post-credits scenes, setting up other films, etc.). Also, it allows Matt Reeves to have a lot of creative control — something he allegedly wanted if he signed on and was given.
I’ve actually advocated this approach before here on BOF and I think that it’s very possible that it’s what Reeves and WB are going to do.
This is my personal preferred choice. A 100%, total reboot of the Batman film franchise that has zero ties to anything other than the Bat-Universe that it establishes. New Batman, Batmobile, Alfred, Gordon, Gotham, Bat-everything.
Currently, I’d say that this option is possible, but not likely as one of the few stipulations Warner Bros. out on Reeves was to “officially” keep it in the DC on film universe.
I guess it’s possible that Reeves’ Batman film(s) are one of these DC “Black Label” deals like director Todd Phillips’ JOKER starring Joaquin Phoenix, but I’m not thinking that’s probably not happening.
To sum up, my personal preference is Option #3, but if I were a betting man, I’d put my money on Option #2/Sub-Option #2. And though I’m a big Ben Affleck fan, I think it’s best for his era as Batman to be totally done. Both my preference and what I think will happen means he’s gone.
So BOF’ers, setting what you want aside, which route to you think Reeves and Warner Bros. will ultimately take? Vote in the Bat-Poll and discuss in the comments section below! – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Im looking for fans, including season ticket holders, interested in speaking about the new look at the Pan Am this year. Let me know with an email at [email protected] :
In order to create a more intimate and raucous environment, NM State has permanently closed the four upper corners of the arena, which will allow the fan base to sit closer together and give a true home court advantage. For fans with season tickets in those seating sections, your seats will now be moved to a reserved seat, closer to the action, and priced in line with what you paid last year. Those upper level seats had been priced at $120, but now will be just $69.

Fix or remove bozo function before it kills bbPress
The bozo function seems to be broken. Just do a search of this forum for bozo and you will see tons of questions from people who have just installed bbPress, they post but the posts don’t show, or they are the key master and are marked a bozo. If someone has responded to a thread with the word ‘bozo’ these searches will work on this forum:
I respectfully request a new release with this bozo functionality fixed and functional (waiting for 1.0 is not acceptable IMHO) or a new release with the functionality removed. I have been running a bbPress forum for 6 months or so and I have never had a need to mark someone a bozo, but I have spent countless hours either fixing bozo problems on my own forum or responding to requests on this forum from people who can’t see their own posts, etc. How many other people have used it for what it’s for vs. how many people have been affected by it not working correctly?
Please, fix it or remove it, for the sake of the future of bbPress.

In a split-second I'd just lost my entire identity. Who am I now? How the fuck do I live?
“The radiologist took a look at your CT scan, we need you to come in tomorrow to talk about the results. I know you’re very active in the ocean, we’re going to need to talk about your future…”
Two months ago, my wife woke me up in the middle of the night and told me she was taking me to the emergency room. I’d been fine went we went to bed, sometime around 3 AM I started running a fever, and my left ear had sprouted a growth the size of a racquetball. I wrote it off as a bad case of swimmer’s ear and tried to go back to sleep. But there’s not much more persuasive than a concerned spouse. I was in the car and on my way to Wahiawa General 10 minutes later.
The ER doctor agreed with my opinion. It was a very bad case of swimmer’s ear. Just use the drops, it’ll be better in a few weeks.
I’ve had ear problems my entire life. It’s just something I’d learned to deal with. Wipe the filthy crust from your ear, put in the drops, wait for improvement, go back in the water. Repeat as needed. You get used to things, and by now, in my mid-thirties, ear pain and pus leakage is just part of doing business. I mean, what are you going to do? Stay dry? Play golf? Kill yourself?
This time things didn’t improve. The growth got bigger, and the resulting pressure became excruciating. It was pretty obvious something was seriously wrong.
Hawaii doesn’t have the best medical care in the world. We do have great health insurance (if you work more than 20 hours a week your employer is required to provide it), but being isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean means that you deal with a lack of options, some being terribly lazy doctors, others being overbooked and unable to see you in a timely manner. This causes problems when you’re dealing with something terrifying, painful, and unusual.
I’ll spare you the details. They’re more or less boring to an outsider, though to me they were white knuckle inducing. In short, I was told I had cancer, then I didn’t, then I might, wait, no, definitely not cancer. And that fucking sucks.
A CT-scan later they figured out that I had a skin abscess. A quick outpatient procedure drained, literally, a pint of pus from my head. Bandaged me up and sent me home.
My wife had recently been offered an awesome job on Kauai, but it started in three weeks. We couldn’t wait to leave the packed hustle and bustle of Oahu for the Garden Isle, so I put any concerns about the hole in my head that was slowly weeping a foul smelling pus.
After two weeks on Kauai things still hadn’t improved. The moment our health insurance went into effect I made an appointment with a local ENT to see what was up.
It wasn’t good. I was finally fortunate to be seen by a diligent, intelligent, MD, and the first thing he did was start cutting into me to relief the abscess.
“This isn’t good, Rory. I’m seeing a lot of granulated tissue, and I should have hit your skull, but I haven’t.”
Okay, well, I don’t really know what that means. I gave him a copy of my CT and went home to wait for his call.
Which is how I found myself sitting in front of a computer screen flanked by doctors as a radiologist walked me through some panic inducing news. I had a cholesteatoma on my left ear drum. It’s a type of tumour/cyst caused by repeated ear infections and ruptured ear drums. I’ve had hundreds of ear infections in my life, and have perforated both ear drums multiple times, so that wasn’t especially surprising news.
What was surprising, and not in a fun oh-you-shouldn’t-have type way, was the life-threatening infection it had caused in my mastoid (the honeycomb skull bone behind your ear). The doctor told me that it had most likely been there for a decade or more, and had been slowly dissolving my skull the entire time. What I’d though were ear infections had been pus leaking from the bone infection through a hole that it had eaten into my ear canal. Furthermore, it had destroyed the bone between the infection and my brain until there was only a wafer thin bit left between me and meningitis.
“You’ve been diving with this?”
“Well, yeah. I’ve been trying to get to two hundred feet.”
“You’re very lucky, Rory. The pressure should have pushed the infection into your brain and killed you a long time ago.”
So, okay, I should be dead, but I’m not. Let’s move forward, what next?
I needed surgery, urgently. It was a miracle I was still standing, the infection could spread to my brain at any moment, and, boom, lights out. Best case scenario, I survive and spend the next year learning to walk and talk again while my wife wipes my ass and I pray for death.
Funnily enough, I could handle that. I mean, sure, shit’s scary, but the problem had been identified, it was fixable. Surgery is never fun, but what are you going to do?
But that wasn’t all. They walked me through what would need to be done: shaving infected bone, removing the cholesteatoma- and the consequences of the surgery, hearing loss (no big deal) and…
I’d most likely never be able to surf or free dive or even put my head underwater ever again.
What the fuck is that madness? I can’t go in the water? Why not?
The surgery would leave me with almost no bone left in my skull in the area and the hole from my ear canal into the void would leave me at risk of life threatening infections for the rest of my life.
How the fuck am I supposed to deal with that news?
To be clear, I like to think that I’m a very good surfer. But, by no stretch of the imagination am I naturally talented. I’m a big guy and I don’t have great balance. Any ability I have is the result of decades of trying my hardest, of constantly struggling while watching other people surf better while putting in half the effort. I’ve put everything I have into this fucking sport, I don’t know how to do anything else. Every pursuit I enjoy involves being in the water. Without that stuff I don’t know what to do with myself.
In a split-second I’d just lost my entire identity. Everything I enjoy, everything I’d ever worked towards, gone. I managed to keep it together in the doctor’s office, then broke down sobbing in the parking lot.
I scared the shit out of some poor lady. She turned a corner to find a 6’2″, 220 lb guy curled in a ball between some bushes bawling his eyes out. A pretty embarrassing moment, especially since this is a small island, and I know I’ll run into her again one day.
It’s hard dealing with this type of news. I was hesitant to share it with too many people, and the few I did lapsed into your standard, “Everything is going to be okay” platitudes. Which is hard to deal with. Because, I mean, I know they mean well, but shit isn’t going to be okay.
Who am I now? How the fuck do I live without the things that make life worth living? I focused so much on this stuff without them I’m a worthless waste of space.
In a sick way I started hoping I’d die. I’m not suicidal, but having the lights turned out seemed so much better than facing an existence where I was totally rudderless. My dreams, my goals, my future were all dead, not much point in keeping my diseased hunk of flesh I call a body ambulatory.
Thank heavens for good health insurance. Three days later I was on a plane to LA, to a specialist at the House Ear Clinic, to the one person who could save my life and let me return to a normal existence, if anyone could. The nature of the infection meant I got bumped to the front of the operating list and after few pre-op appointments and a physical I was doped up, strapped to an operating table, and cut on, bone reconstructed by modern medical magic.
And so here I am. Stone deaf in my left ear, missing part of my sense of taste (a strange side effect, but one I’ve been reassured will improve with time) and looking forward to a time in two months or so when I’ve been told I’ll be able to return to the ocean and all the things love.
But I just can’t escape how close I came to losing everything. The idea that it could still be taken away, that something could go wrong, either now or in the future, lurks there in the background all the time. I need to expand my horizons, to stop being a one-dimensional person who focuses everything they have on one tiny aspect of life. But I just don’t know what to do.
How the fuck do other people live?

Cosmetic Surgery Consultation
If you’ve been considering cosmetic surgery, one of the most important parts of the process is getting all the details before your first appointment.
When taking advantage of our plastic surgical services in Hungary, we want you to be fully informed. By simply filling out our form about what procedures you are considering, you can receive feedback from us on a treatment plan along with a price list. We do this before your cosmetic surgery consultation.
In cosmetic surgery, our attention to detail is important. That’s why we recommend that you attach photos to your contact form along with your questions. When we see photos, our minds start envisioning what is truly possible for you and we can give you a better idea of what to expect.
Contact us for a free cosmetic surgery consultation and we will be pleased to inform you about the procedures.

Bath & Body Works
is one of the best stores to get all of your body and bath care needs – hence the name! Each season we are always so excited to see the new releases (and of course, our old favorites). Today we’ll be sharing with you some products you may want to grab for this fall
The Soothing Oatmeal Body Wash retails for $16.50. Oatmeal is known to soothe, calm, and nourish skin. This creamy body wash promises to instantly moisturize your skin, leaving it feeling silky and smooth. I used it in the shower and found it delightful. It was indeed very rich and creamy. The smell was heavenly – a mix of cinnamon, oats, and a hint of vanilla. Some people are not fans of strong and/or sweet smells so this product would definitely not be for them – but, I loved it and will be picking up a few more tubes for holiday gifts! These would make perfect stocking stuffers.
The Bright Autumn Blooms Ultra Shea Body Cream
retails for $13.50. It can be described as a fall bouquet of warm marigold petals, sandalwood, sparkling bergamot and cedar leaf
. This rich body cream evokes crisp sun-shiny days, apple orchards, and bright fall foliage. The cream is rich and emollient
; I used it for dry legs, elbows, and hands, and it left me fragrant and silky. The rich, floral scent was also appealing. Like the product referenced above, the fragrance is definitely not for the minimalists in the crowd. However, since I’m not one of them, the heavy aroma was a positive for me!
The Sweater Weather Fine Fragrance Mist
retails for $14.50. This fragrance is inspired by golden autumn leaves, bright blue skies, and crisp apple slices.
The fragrance can be lavishly splashed or lightly spritzed. The carefully crafted bottle and sophisticated pump promises to deliver great coverage while conditioning aloe mist nourishes the skin
. I used this for several days and found it to be a crisp and invigorating scent. I could really detect the fresh apple fragrance!
Also, I wanted to mention the attractive packaging of all three of these products – colorful, feminine, and oh-so-pretty. I arranged them in my bathroom and just seeing them there was an instant pick-me-up!
