So you officially have a walker.
How exciting! … and also completely terrifying.
A walking toddler means it’s time to kick your childproofing game into high gear. Let’s start with doorknob covers and locks.
Okay, so you may be thinking, “doorknob covers? Seriously? Do I really need those?”
In short, the answer is: yes.
Why You Need Doorknob Covers and Locks
- Curious toddlers just love exploring and opening and closing doors on their own. It’s all fun and games until someone accidentally slams their cute little fingers in the door, or gets them caught in the hinges.
- To keep kids out of rooms you don’t want them to go in unattended (i.e. the bathroom, the room with the cat’s litter box, the laundry room, the basement, etc.)
- To prevent kids from locking themselves in a room (my toddler has done this…)
- Toddler sleep training and safety. After kids transition from cribs to “big kid beds,” you want to make sure they stay safely in their own rooms all night (i.e. not wandering the halls, going downstairs for a midnight snack, or coming into your room approximately 97 times per night… trust me on this one, I’m speaking from experience!).
When it comes to childproofing doorknob covers and locks, there aren’t a ton to choose from, but there are a few different types. You want to start by determining what your needs are (do you have round doorknobs or levers? Do you own a pet who needs to be able to get through? etc.), and how McGyver-ish your child is (don’t laugh — some kids have serious skills and strength…).
Here are a few of the most highly-rated choices, broken down into the following categories:
Round Universal Safety Doorknob Covers and Locks
To open a door when these covers are on, you have to stick your fingers through the holes, grab the knob, and turn. You’ll probably have to use your thumb and pointer or middle finger, and for those who don’t have a lot of hand strength or dexterity (such as the elderly, or even older middle school-aged children), this could be especially challenging. The good news? If it’s hard for adults to do, it should be even harder for toddlers…
To take the cover completely off, simultaneously push the buttons on both sides, and the two pieces click open.
Jool Baby Doorknob Covers ~$10/4 count
These well-liked doorknob covers fit on most standard-sized round doorknobs and are very similar to the Munchkin covers discussed above. They click easily into place around your doorknobs. Like the Munchkin covers, in order to operate the door with these covers on, adults must put their fingers through the holes to grasp and turn the doorknob.
These are highly-rated, and many say they work better than other brands they’ve tried. That said, some reviewers do report that their littles were still able to break them off. If this happens to you, you can always duct tape the sides to make them tougher for toddlers to open. On the flip side, a few grandparent reviewers say that these are quite tough for them to use because they lack the strength needed to turn a doorknob using only their fingertips.
EUDEMON Doorknob Lock ~ $10 (pack of 4)
Another parents’ favorite, these doorknob covers are made of soft plastic and, according to reviewers, stay on more securely than other brands.
They’re also easy to install: just slide the piece over the door knob — no tools needed. Once on, it can be difficult to take off, though that might be a blessing in disguise. When you need to open the door, just press the double buttons and the knob turns easily… well easy for you, not for the kids. Hehe!
This highly-rated lock doesn’t require tools for installation and is a great proofing alternative if you have lever doorknobs. In order to unlock it, you need to push two different buttons simultaneously. The best part? It comes with a decoy button in front to keep clever toddlers from figuring out how to open it.
You can also push the locking arm to deactivate the lock (there’s a yellow indicator showing when the lock isn’t in use).
Pinch Protection and/or Solutions for Pet Owner Parents
Door Monkey ~$12
The Door Monkey is a super innovative and versatile childproofing product. It’s a way to prevent kids from opening all kinds of doors — those with round handles and levers — and serves as a pinch guard, preventing kiddos from getting their fingers stuck in doors and hinges. There is not a parent in the world who hasn’t had this happen to their child — it is excruciatingly painful.
To use, just clamp the Door Monkey onto the door (Note: you can do this at any height you desire, so if you have an older child who will need access to the room, you can clamp it lower so he can remove the Door Monkey as necessary).
Because it keeps doors slightly ajar (which is why it prevents pinches), it also helps air circulate through the room.
To unlock the Door Monkey, you just pull the “tail” (pictured below).
When you take the Door Monkey off, you can hang it on the doorknob until you’re ready to use it again. Easy peasy.
Overall, this is a really great option to keep kids out of certain rooms, and also to prevent them from getting their fingers caught in the door. But, it may not be the best choice for doors you do want to fully close — like the door to the bathroom (um, can I get some privacy in here please?!).
This is another unique solution for parents who are also cat owners. Similar to the Door Monkey, Door Buddy keeps the door open wide enough for the cat to sneak in and out, but not for baby!
It has an adjustable strap which allows you to crack the door as wide (or narrow) as you want.
This particular version also comes with a foam door stopper to protect little fingers from being pinched or slammed in a door.
While most reviewers really love this product and say it works well, some do report that it’s easy for toddlers to pull off… and that when they do, the strong 3M VHB adhesive tape it’s secured with takes the paint (and in some cases, drywall!) right off the wall. Eek.
So your kid can break off every doorknob lock known to mankind.
She has superhuman McGyver-like skills and you are ready to wave the white flag and admit childproofing defeat. But, wait! Here’s a product that just may work for even the mightiest of McGyver-like munchkins.
The Safety Innovations Top Door Lock rests on top of the door so kiddos can’t reach it. I repeat: your kids can’t reach it!
In addition to the fact that tiny Houdinis can’t reach, break or open this lock, reviewers also like that you can open and lock it from both sides of the door.
It fits all standard interior doors up to 1 3/8 inch thick. In order to install this door lock, you first need to screw the peg into the door frame. Once the peg is in, you just slip the latch on the top of the door frame and slide it around the peg to lock it (and slide it off to release).
If you’re short like me, it comes with an extension wand to attach to the latch so you can easily slide it without having to use a step stool.
Here’s a video showing exactly how the Top Door Lock works:
Door Guardian ~$16
Door Guardian is a really cool product because it serves double-duty: it keeps kids IN and unwanted intruders OUT.
This all-in-one childproofing and home security lock can be applied to all exterior doors, and effectively works to prevent your littles from being able to open the door and wander outside; when Door Guardian is in lock position, no one can enter from the outside of the house, either.
In fact, one user (who described himself as a large guy) said that after he installed the Door Guardian, he tested it by pushing on his door as hard as he could—to the point of almost damaging it—and the door didn’t budge at all.
When it comes to keeping your kiddos safe, check out this video that shows exactly how Door Guardian works.
Most users say Door Guardian is easy to install, and that because it’s placed high up on the door hinge, little people can’t reach it (and even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to operate it).
Adults simply need to slide the outer part of the lock out and open to unlatch the Door Guardian (see visual below).
Door Guardian comes in 6 colors (black, brass, satin chrome, white, antique brass and antique nickel), and people love that it’s relatively attractive (or rather, not unsightly…) and very durable.
That’s it for now, friends. I hope we’ve helped you find a solution that works for you. And if all else fails, you could simply try a standard hook/eye lock, or call a locksmith to put locks on the doors you don’t want your kids to open. (Seriously, tho). Good luck!

I live and work in Accra, Ghana as a visual artist. I work with oils, acrylic, pastel and digital mediums of art. My journey started when I got inspired as a little boy by an older friend who was always drawing. I gradually realized that art was my true path. As I grew older I explored various fields in design and art. Then gradually I realized the need after much study to be unique and represent my identity and the diverse black culture re: my art both digitally and traditionally. Art is not really about trying to please a specific category of people, it's about finding yourself as an artist and expressing it in the best way you can. The right people will be drawn to your uniqueness and would want to pay money for it.
What were the biggest initial hurdles to building your business and how did you overcome them?
Everything around me was a big hurdle, friends, family etc. If you want to start something great and unique you should understand that as an entrepreneur, you’re still held accountable but instead of answering to the boss (you), you have to answer to employees and customers. One way to handle this hurdle is to surround yourself with responsible employees that can help take on some of this stress and handle customers when your patience wears thin.
What books are you currently reading? And your recommendation for entrepreneurs to read?
Currently I am reading Sapiens a brief history of humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. I have read books such as Mastery, 50th Law and 48 laws of power all by Robert Greene. I also read The subtle art of not giving a fuck by Mark Manson. I think they are great for entrepreneurs.
Did you ever deal with contention from your family and friends concerning your entrepreneurial pursuits?
How did you handle it? What would you do differently in hindsight?
Yes I dealt with contention from my family and some friends. I just saw them as people who didn’t really understand what iI wanted to achieve but I don’t blame them. We are all different, I ignored them and went on with my plans anyway.
In hindsight I will do the same thing.
What would you say was the single most influential factor in your business success?
I think the single most influential factor is relentlessness.
What do you know today that you wish you would have known when you first got started as an entrepreneur?
I think everything came at the right time. I learn as I move forward. The idea is based on a Japanese concept known as Kaizen
What advice would you give to an upcoming entrepreneur locally and internationally?
My advice is this. When you realize what you want to do, be relentless and patient.

AFRICA/ALGERIA – Caritas Algeria ceases its activities at the request of the Algerian authorities
Algiers (Agence Fid by Mgr Paul Desfarges, emeritus of Algiers and president of the Algerian Diocesan Association. The press release, written in a formal style, simply indicates that the measure was taken at the request of the Algerian authorities. “Of course” , says the text, “the Catholic Church remains faithful to its charitable mission at the service of fraternity”, that is to say “in relation to all people of good will”.
The statement quotes the introduction of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, signed on February 4, 2019 in Abu Dhabi by Pope Francis and Sunni Sheikh Ahmed al Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar: “The faith leads a believer to see in the other a brother or sister to be supported and loved. Through faith in God, who created the universe, creatures, and all human beings (equal in his mercy), believers are called to express this human brotherhood by safeguarding creation and the entire universe and by supporting all people, especially the poorest and most needy”. “The Catholic Church”, concludes the statement signed by the Archbishop Emeritus of Algiers, “I would like to thank all those who, over the years and in different ways, have contributed to the realization of this work at the service of the most vulnerable. and the Algerian people”.
The decision to stop the activities of Caritas Algeria was taken by the responsible Algerian authorities without giving detailed official justification to the bishops of the Catholic Church in Algeria. Local sources inform Fides that Caritas has probably been subject to these restrictive measures because it is considered a foreign non-governmental organization. All communications from the Ministry of the Interior made general references to the Catholic Church being supposed to “cover” an unauthorized organization engaging in “illegal” activities, without giving specific references to the articles of the law allegedly violated. .
However, representatives of the local Catholic community rule out that the measures imposed by the Algerian authorities are fueled by feelings of hostility towards the Catholic Church and its presence in the country. They see it rather as a link with the general policy of restrictions recently imposed on foreign and multinational NGOs. The Algerian authorities have not taken into account the uniqueness of Caritas as the charitable arm of the Catholic Church, a uniqueness which distinguishes it intrinsically and “by right” from non-governmental organizations, including those working in the field of humanitarian aid and assistance. asset.
Caritas Algeria’s initiatives have been designed and implemented to benefit the most vulnerable sections of the Algerian population, 97% of whom profess Islam. Caritas Algeria has always taken care of the phenomenon of migrants and has above all supported the sick and minors with transparent aid programs. (GV) (Fides Service, 9/27/2022)

A recent visit to Ben Garcia's Hideaway Kennels proved to be an enlightening experience, offering valuable insights to elevate our training program. Embracing the adage that learning is a lifelong journey, we embarked on a week filled with invaluable lessons and practical applications to refine our approach.
Exploring New Horizons:
At Hideaway Kennels, we delved into training methodologies tailored to various breeds and age groups. One standout participant was Bandit, a spirited 7-month-old Brittany. Under Ben's guidance, we honed Bandit's skills in standing his birds, employing a gentle touch alongside a check cord to reinforce desired behaviors.
Embracing Continuous Growth:
The collaborative atmosphere at Hideaway Kennels underscored the importance of embracing continual growth and evolution in our training practices. From foundational principles to advanced techniques, each session served as a stepping stone towards refining our craft and enhancing our capabilities as trainers.
Capturing the Experience:
Throughout our stay, we documented key moments and training sessions, capturing the essence of our journey at Hideaway Kennels. These visual cues serve as reminders of the knowledge gained and the progress achieved, inspiring us to further excel in our pursuit of excellence.

The insights gleaned from our time at Hideaway Kennels serve as a catalyst for innovation and improvement, guiding our efforts to nurture the potential of each dog under our care.
The visit to Hideaway Kennels was more than a training excursion; it was a transformative experience that enriched our understanding of canine behavior and training methodologies. As we integrate these lessons into our own practices, we remain committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, ensuring optimal outcomes for both trainers and canine companions alike.

A special legislative committee created to oversee state agencies’ requests to increase “other” funds spending has approved nearly $30 million in increases so far this fiscal year, records provided to The Nerve show.
Since it began considering requests in November, the eight-member Joint Other Funds Oversight Committee has rejected about $4.3 million in increase requests, or 12.5 percent of the total sought, according to Office of State Budget records.
The committee issued its strongest “no” in a meeting last week.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control wanted to use $100,000 of $5 million generated from a 50-cent cigarette tax increase to help churches and public schools become smoke-free.
The agency also asked to use another $100,000 of the cigarette tax increase money to help doctors and other health care providers better teach patients to kick the smoking habit.
In hiking the cigarette tax from 7 cents per pack to 57 cents last year, lawmakers earmarked a portion of that money for smoking cessation programs. But some oversight committee members in last week’s hearing weren’t happy with how DHEC wanted to use the money.
“Looking through a lot of this, to me it’s just a lot fluff, to be honest with you – feel-good stuff,” Rep. Brian White, R-Anderson and committee co-chairman, said during the hearing.
White said he believed that the money would be better spent on an existing telephone counseling service for smokers, known as the “S.C. Qutiline,” rather than “putting signs up at a school” designating it as smoke-free.
Replied Wanda Crotwell, assistant to DHEC Commissioner Earl Hunter and a member of the agency’s executive management team, “It’s not fluff to us because if we can get school campuses smoke-free, that’s a huge step in the right direction.”
In the end, however, the committee in a voice vote approved only $850,000 of the $5 million total request to support the “S.C. Quitline.” Besides rejecting the separate $100,000 increase requests targeted to churches, schools and health care providers, the committee also nixed $900,000 for marketing programs for smoking cessation and $600,000 for a youth smoking prevention program called “Rage Against the Haze.”
In years past, DHEC and other state agencies typically could get mid-fiscal-year increases in other funds approved quietly through the Office of State Budget.
But the process now for the first time is more open – at least for this fiscal year. Since November, the committee has met four times to consider increase requests from eight state agencies.
The Office of State Budget has the final say on any increase requests presented to the committee, Les Boles, the state budget director, told The Nerve in a written response this week. He didn’t immediately answer, though, whether his office has signed off on the committee’s recommendations from November through last week.
Boles earlier told The Nerve that his office had rejected certain increase requests before the committee began meeting, though he added that the “bulk” of those requests were approved.
Before the committee was formed, the Office of State Budget had approved a total of more than $91 million in increases in other funds for this fiscal year for 26 state agencies, records show. The increases ranged from $7,694 for the S.C. Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services to nearly $27 million for the state Department of Mental Health.
Other funds represent more than one-third of the total $21 billion-plus state budget, yet few people, including lawmakers, know what’s in that part or the fact that it typically grows during a fiscal year by hundreds of millions of dollars.
With cuts in recent years in their general fund budgets, agencies have been relying more on other funds.
The adjusted other funds part of the budget for this fiscal year, which started July 1, stands at $8.1 billion, nearly $360 million more than what was initially appropriated by the S.C. General Assembly.
Lawmakers in recent years have lowballed that part of the budget, often giving a false impression that they are cutting spending.
The Nerve first reported last year that since July 1, 1999, state agencies collectively had spent $3 billion more than what was initially appropriated to them by the General Assembly.
Other funds include such things as college tuition and fees, lottery proceeds, a portion of the state sales tax earmarked for K-12 education, gasoline taxes, motor vehicle license fees and court filing fees.
College tuition and fees, which are set by legislatively appointed boards of trustees, make up the biggest portion of other funds. In fiscal 2007, for example, those fees totaled nearly $1.4 billion, a Senate Finance Committee study found.
Tuition in recent years has been skyrocketing, though the S.C. Budget and Control Board last year tried to slow that growth by putting a moratorium on certain construction projects if tuition was raised above certain levels.
Other funds are separate from two other money pots in the state budget: general funds, which are made up mainly of personal and corporate income taxes, and most of the state sales tax; and federal funds.
The adjusted total budget for this fiscal year is $21.8 billion, including $5.08 billion in general funds and $8.6 billion in federal funds.
Created last year through a state budget proviso (70.27), the Joint Other Funds Oversight Committee is taking a deeper look into other funds. Besides White, the other oversight committee members include committee co-chairman Sen. Nikki Setzler, D-Lexington; Sens. David Thomas, R-Greenville; Mike Fair, R-Greenville; and Kevin Bryant, R-Anderson; and Reps. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter; Michael Pitts, R-Laurens; and Jim Battle, D-Marion.
The oversight committee has recommended approval of most of the proposed increases it has considered, starting with a $1.5 million increase in November for the S.C. Department of Public Safety for a computerized records tracking system in troopers’ cars with money funneled through the state Department of Transportation.
Besides the $850,000 increase approved last week for DHEC, the committee also has recommended more than $27.5 million in other fund increases requested by various other agencies. Those include, according to Office of State Budget records:
- $20.5 million to the Commission on Higher Education for endowed chair programs, which are funded in part with state lottery proceeds, at the University of South Carolina and Medical University of South Carolina;
- $2.87 million to the S.C. State Housing Finance and Development Authority for its mortgage down payment assistance program;
- $1.9 million to the S.C. Judicial Department in lease proceeds from the department’s computer automation program;
- $989,020 to the Commission on Higher Education for a statewide electronic library program for 58 public and private colleges, funded through membership dues and fees for services;
- $605,500 to the State Treasurer’s Office from investment management fees and other “special revenue funds” authorized by state budget provisos, to be used to offset general fund cuts in “critical” operations;
- $325,000 to the Department of Archives and History through the auction sale of Confederate money, the proceeds of which would be used to expand the agency’s storage capacity for rare records; and
- $317,181 to the Comptroller General’s Office, $250,000 of which is a transfer from the S.C. Budget and Control Board to reimburse the office for a portion of payroll costs related to the implementation of a computer finance system for state agencies.
The committee at last week’s meeting narrowly approved the $317,181 request by the Comptroller General’s Office after several lawmakers raised questions about the payroll expenses for the computer finance system.Other than gutting the $5 million request by DHEC, however, the committee thus far has rejected a portion of only one other increase request – $139,500 to the State Treasurer’s Office.
And the committee apparently will not be dealing with the bulk of the projected $360 million increase in this fiscal year’s other fund budget for the state. In his written response this week to The Nerve, Boles said the committee would not consider it because “these funds have already been appropriated by the General Assembly.”

Speaking at Creation is one of those rare speaking venues every preacher dreams of. Tens of thousands attentive, excited and ready-for-what-God’s-going-to-do crowds in a beautiful setting. I’ve never encountered a festival that, not only has the top Christian bands, but puts such a big emphasis on the Word of God. Pastor Harry has done a phenomenal job of finding just the right blend of Worship, the Word and rocking your socks off.
I get the honor of sharing a few times at Creation east and west this year. It should be a lot of fun.
On Thursday at 9:15 am I’ll be speaking a new sermon called “Heaven, Hell and everything in between.” I’m excited to preach this motivational sermon that, I’m praying, will energize the crowd to make a difference on this planet while they can.
On Friday at 9:15 am I’ll be training everyone how to share their faith in a little sermon I call, “Reach out don’t freak out!” Imagine tens of thousands equipped to share their faith with their friends and then unleashed to do it! Pray with me that God does some big, big things as a result.
For the youth leaders I’ll be doing a special training called The X Factor in the Interlinc tent on Thursday. This session will give youth leaders the tools they need to build a youth ministry with, both spiritual and new conversion growth. I can’t wait for youth leaders to get this training!
Please pray for me as I prepare these sermons and start another writing retreat this week! Hope to see you at Creation!

1 Project Overview
The roof of the airport terminal hall takes into account the architectural needs of skylight lighting and the giant cable curtain wall of the arrival hall and adopts a space frame roof steel structure with a combination of welded ball space frames and cross trusses. It is mainly composed of 31 tree-shaped bifurcated supporting steel columns and roof steel structures, with a projected area of about 55,000 square meters. The north-south length is about 340m, and the east-west span is about 160m. The roof is composed of welded ball space frames, cross trusses, giant arches, and overhangs. It is connected with steel columns through 82 large cast steel nodes. The vertical height of the space frame is 4-6m, and the total steel consumption is about 8000t. . The roof steel structure model is shown in Figure 1. The main joint forms of the roof steel structure are welded ball joints, intersecting joints, cylindrical joints and cast steel joints.
2 Selection of installation method
Large-scale venues in China have experienced rapid development for nearly 20 years, with a large number and many installation methods for roof steel structures, forming relatively mature construction technologies, which can be roughly divided into several categories.
1) For high-altitude in-situ splicing, a scaffolding is set up under the steel structure roof to form a working surface for in-situ installation of steel structure parts. This method is mostly used in various space frame structures. The workload of scaffolding is large and the construction period is long. Other processes cannot be carried out in the area where the scaffolding is erected, and there are many restricted conditions. The advantages are that the measurement and positioning are more accurate and the installation accuracy is higher. At the same time, due to the use of bulk lifting, the lifting capacity of the vertical transport equipment is not required to be high, and the construction cost is low.
2) High-altitude block hoisting roof steel structure for ground block assembly, in-situ installation of supporting tire frames, and direct hoisting in place with large hoisting machinery. This method can be assembled on the ground in advance, the hoisting speed is fast, and the overall construction period is short. However, the hoisting distance is greatly affected by the performance of the hoisting equipment, and it is difficult to achieve long hoisting distance, and the construction cost is high.
3) The steel structure of the overall lifting roof shall be assembled on the ground in situ, using the vertical structure of the building or the installation lattice column as the lifting support frame, and using equipment such as hydraulic cylinders or hoists to lift the roof to the installation position. This method is suitable for roofs with regular roof structure design, single-span structures, circular structures, and less horizontal lifting points, especially suitable for industrial plants, gymnasiums and other building structures. It adopts ground assembly, which has high assembly precision and fast construction speed, but it is difficult to apply to many roofs with complex shapes.
4) For high-altitude sliding, the vertical structure of the building is used to install the sliding track or the sliding tire frame. The roof and the ground are assembled in blocks. After hoisting to the sliding tire frame, the method of block-by-block sliding or cumulative sliding is adopted, which is beneficial to the movement of the hydraulic cylinder. , so that the roof can be installed in place.
The project adopts welded ball space frame and crosses truss at the same time. Part of the area is a landing giant arch truss. The roof is free hyperboloid. It is difficult to meet the construction requirements of the economy, speed and safety by using a single installation method. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the roof steel structure of this project, different support and hoisting methods are adopted for different parts. After research and discussion, high-altitude in-situ splicing is adopted for the welded ball space frame area, making full use of the convenient installation conditions of the existing civil tower crane; Avoid setting up excessive full-room support frames, which will affect the overall construction period.
According to the characteristics of the steel structure roof truss, this project adopts the construction methods of high-altitude splicing and block hoisting, divides reasonable construction sections according to different installation methods and areas, determines the best construction sequence, component hoisting methods, and selects hoisting equipment. Support the tire frame, and completed the construction task on schedule.

Matching appliances are best in any kitchen. We haven't even touched on cabinet hardware, lighting fixtures, sinks and taps, paint colors or appliances. There are recessed, flat paneled and raised cabinet doorways. What are the subsequent Steps? Minor changes are made at this time. They too are highly visible. Typical feedback are, "I do not like these curtains; they are a drab; they are outdated." These are some of the many solutions I get from prospective purchasers. I go out to their house and ask them what they like. Custom tie backs could have also been utilized in that scenario.

According to an interview with Demi Moore featured in a recent issue of French Marie Claire, the actress is adamant that she has not undergone any plastic surgery. The 46-year old actress looks as stunning as ever, causing speculation as to what she is doing to maintain her timeless beauty.
We could talk all day about the celebrities who have undergone procedures ending in unfortunate results, but we hardly talk about who is doing it right … primarily because they are doing it so right that we don’t know that they’re doing it at all. And yes, I do understand that genetics and timeless beauty play a role in some of this. But, those of us who are “in-the-know,” know that there are other forces at work here too.
Regular maintenance, coupled with the know how to make small, subtle changes, are the key to prolonging a natural, youthful look.
The 30’s are a time to really beef up your skin care regimen. This is when the early signs of aging really start to show in your skin. The five tenets of good skin care are to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, repair, and protect. In English, that means a cleanser, a gentle exfoliant a few times a week, a non-comedogenic moisturizer to balance your skin, a reparative product like a retinoid to build collagen or an antioxidant like vitamin C to neutralize free radicals, and a sunscreen. Laser treatments like IPL photofacials or Fraxel treatments can go a long way to restoring a youthful glow by evening out your complexion. And if you have furrows and fine wrinkles, Botox may be a good option to prevent them from getting deeper.
The 40’s are a time when the effects of gravity really start to settle in and the face starts to lose facial fat. Eyelids start to get droopy and baggy, cheeks start to get hollow, and the neck and jaw line starts to sag. Different people have different rates of aging. These changes can start in the mid to late thirties for some. Others may not notice these things until well into their 40’s. In general though, subtle facial cosmetic surgery tweaks freshen up your face. These smaller procedures most commonly include eyelid surgery or brow surgery to wake up your eyes. Liposuction under the chin or a natural neck and jowl lift may be appropriate for others.
Often the best results are some small surgical procedures combined with the noninvasive fillers and Botox to restore facial fullness and erase fine lines. Laser resurfacing to improve the quality of the skin can also complement nicely. I call this the multimodal approach to combating aging. And I would bet that this is what Demi has been doing all along.
The 50’s and 60’s
The 50’s and 60’s are definitely the decades when surgery tends to be the best option for freshening up. Gravity has definitely set in, and often just the noninvasive treatments are not enough to get you the result that you want. The face and necklift is usually the cornerstone to a successful facial rejuvenation in these decades. I recommend a very natural approach because I think that this stands the test of time. Who wants their “designer” facelift to go out of style?! This is also the time when the multimodal approach is very effective, as the surgery will fix the contour problems and the dermatologic tools will improve the skin quality.
Did she or didn’t she?? And so, whether she did or didn’t, we salute Demi, along with Cindy Crawford, Brooke Shields, and Michelle Pfeiffer, for being ageless beauty icons and for making 40 the new 20, and 50 the new 30.

It’s arise Sir Trevor, as Trevor Mallard is among the latest list of Kiwi sirs and dames revealed in the New Year 2024 Honours List.
Joining the longtime politician are four others who will be receiving a new title in front of their names. Here is a brief rundown of what led to them being honoured.
Mallard has been made a Knight Companion of the said Order for services as a Member of Parliament and as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
He first entered Parliament in 1984 as a Labour Party MP. That stint lasted until 1990, before he went on to a long career in Parliament between 1993 and 2022.
Mallard is perhaps best known for his recent stint as Speaker of the House that lasted from 2017 to 2022.
Bareman has been made a Dame Companion of the said Order for services to football governance.
She is Chief Women’s Football Officer for FIFA and represents 211 member countries, making her one of the most powerful people in sports.
John Campbell recently spent an extended period with Bareman during this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.
He described her as having a passion for transformation that goes beyond tea-towel homilies and the ‘just do it’ nonsense of people with less to say than they let on.
Dr Scott Duncan Macfarlane
Macfarlane has been made a Knight Companion of the said Order for services to health.
He is credited with transforming the treatment and improvement of children with cancer in New Zealand for the past 45 years.
He led the development of a National Child Cancer Service (now National Child Cancer Network) in 2000 and was instrumental in establishing the National Child Cancer Network in 2011.
Macfarlane was made a life member of the Child Cancer Foundation in 2015 and retired in 2021.
Tyson-Nathan has been made a Dame Companion of the said Order for services to Māori and business.
It comes after she was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2018 for her services to Māori and business.
She has been championing advancement in Māori economic development across various domains including community, business, and government sectors for more than three decades.
In recognition of her contributions to repositioning Māori tourism as deeper and more meaningful, she was named in the top 50 Global Tourism Innovators in 2021.
Ian Barry Mune
Mune has been made a Knight Companion of the said Order for services to film, television and theatre.
He is an award-winning actor, writer and director for stage and screen, who has focused on telling the stories of New Zealanders in an authentic voice since the 1970s.
His notable earlier film productions include co-writing seminal Kiwi classics Sleeping Dogs (1977) and Goodbye Pork Pie (1981).
He also directed Came a Hot Friday (1984).
As an actor with more than 70 screen roles to date, he has continued to perform in a variety of film, television and theatre productions, most recently in the miniseries The Pact (2021).

While beauty issues such as acne, wrinkles, dark patches, cold sores and hair loss may seem easier to cover up than resolve, correcting them can be as easy as understanding the cause and getting back to nature says holistic health expert and coach, Tyler Tolman.
Tolman, who runs an in-demand juice fasting and healing retreat in Bali, shares his top tips on treating common beauty woes – naturally.
Cause: Pores becoming blocked with bad bacteria and oil. Can be due to toxins in the liver, bowel or colon; hormone, nervous system or digestive imbalances; and the body’s inability to eliminate waste.
Solution: Cut out refined sugar, deep fried and processed foods – keep the diet as ‘natural’ and plant-based as possible. Add in lots of leafy green veggies, avocado, raw nuts and seeds, extra-virgin olive oil, berries, onion, garlic and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts — these help to detox excess hormones, which can help with acne control.
Increase water intake to help purity the blood. Aim for 1L of water per 22kg of body weight each day – add organic tea or fruit to your H20 to mix things up. Also try squeezing lemon juice into warm water and drinking first thing in the morning. This will help cleanse the intestinal tract and give you essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, which help calm inflammation.
Adding one tablespoon of alkalising apple cider vinegar to water and sipping throughout the day can also help return an acidic body to an alkaline state.
Cause: Skin getting thinner, dryer and less elastic. Dehydration and a lack of ‘good’ oils; lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and excessive UV exposure; genetics; and ageing may all be contributing factors.
Solution: Try Guasha, a form of skin exfoliation (more about this below), then moisturise with coconut oil, which has a natural SPF of 5-7, or organic rose hip oil.
Keep hydrated and eat more whole, raw foods – especially Avocado! Rich in antioxidants, avocado is beneficial in preventing aging symptoms and the glutathione in avocado can boost immune systems and encourage a healthy nervous system. Avocado oil is added in many cosmetics because of its ability to nourish the skin and make it glow. I recommend using avocado straight on the skin, let it set for at least 20 minutes, then wash.
Hyperpigmentation and dark patches
Cause: Caused by increased melanin production, as a result of excessive UV exposure; hormones during pregnancy or from the contraceptive pill; and toxins or imbalances in the liver.
Solution: A great remedy is skin cleaning such as dry brushing or Guasha. Used by Ancient Asian, Greek and Egyptian civilizations, Guasha opens up the skin and rids the body of toxins and bad bacteria.
To make Guasha, simply mix aluminium free bi-carb soda with triple distilled vodka. Rinse off in the shower then apply a tablespoon of the mixture onto a loofah or in your hands and scrub your entire body, including your face (be gentle at first), then rinse it off completely.
Once you’ve exfoliated the skin, apply lemon juice directly to the dark areas and lie in the sun to soak up the Vitamin D.
Cause: Herpes simplex virus. Outbreaks can be caused by a weak immune system; cold or infection; stress; poor diet choices; and extreme hot or cold to the area of infection.
Solution: Improving your general health and immunity is a good start. Selenium is one of the most vital and potent antioxidants for protecting and healing the immune system – try including more brazil nuts and sunflower seeds in your diet.
I recommend a daily CABALA (carrot, apple, beets, apple, lemon, and apple) juice. It contains a variety of natural colours, including three different apple types (red, green and yellow) and is super for fighting viruses and infections.
For a topical treatment for herpes lesions, apply a dab of hydrogen peroxide, H202 (make sure you buy the 35% food-grade stuff) directly onto the sore, five or six times a day, over a couple of days. It will kill the virus to the core. Lavender oils can help too, as well as consuming garlic, which is one of nature's most powerful tools in fighting infections.
Hair loss and poor condition
Cause: Stress and anxiety; iron deficiency; hormone changes; poor diet; and kidney imbalances can be contributors.
Solution: Stress plays a huge role in the health and condition of our hair, as it creates acid in our bodies, so I recommend taking time out for meditation, yoga, regular exercise – and sleep!
A lot can be told from the colour, texture and shine in our hair as these factors are directly attributed to how healthy we are on the inside. So completing a water or juice fast can help detox and heal you from the inside out.
Consuming a diet of clean foods, such as raisins, bean sprouts, walnuts, spinach, carrots, and bok choy can all assist in hair loss prevention and hair growth.
To help treat all of these beauty conditions, Tyler recommends juice fasting. This act helps cleanse and detox internal organs and redirects energy, normally used for digesting food, into healing the body.

By Joy Lynn Clark
I have been on dating sites for as long as there has been dating sites. I meet different folks and sometimes I find a lover and take my profile down or, just hide it. Most of the time, I end up in a straight relationship even though I am not straight. I have dated women also but, I never seem to meet any online. I met my last BF online. My GF before that, was introduced to me by a friend.
When it comes to sexual orientation, many say,” straight, gay, bisexual,lesbian, transsexual etc”. I usually have to pick one. I can pick straight and look at guys. I can pick bisexual and look at couples or, more guys. Somehow bisexual just doesn’t let me see men and women enough. Some sites also offer a “bi-curious” option but, I have done all that so I am not so curious. So I change my preferences and create new filters and so on.
Next I start to wonder if the straight guy I emailed now thinks that I am not who I say I am. I could say I am bisexual and he won’t mind but, he might think I like threesomes. I mean yeah, but I really like monogamy. This whole thing is for the birds but, I get lots of action online. Everytime I change my preferences I turn someone off that I really wanted to respond to my email.
Now, I can only chat with one at a time. I want to swerve a bit and talk to multiple people. I wanna have lots of friends and potential lovers in my inbox – men and women.
On one site, I had to pick, “gay seeking women” to look at lesbian profiles. I am not totally against gay but, I just don’t really feel like I should label myself that way. Then I thought well maybe I need to join a LGBTQ site, but what if I want another straight relationship? I could try some bisexual guys. Maybe I will.
What do you do when you have no preference?

Fall Application Tips from Tech Support
With colder temperatures here and the crops out of the field, fall application will soon be in full swing. Last week, we provided some safety tips for fall application. When transitioning from harvest to fall application, there are also a few things to remember to keep your data in order and prevent downtime in the field.
Changing Seasons The year is 2011; you have successfully completed harvest and are ready for fall application. You take your equipment to the field and begin to load your configuration and field on your Ag Leader display, but did you remember to change seasons before you started? Once your crop is out of the field, it is considered to be the end of your growing season. Before beginning fall application, be sure to change your season to a new “2012 Crop Year.” Changing your season now keeps your fertilizer linked to the 2012 crop, to which it is being applied. This also allows you to use your fertilizer application maps as reference maps next spring, summer and fall to compare fertilizer test strips and crop responses. Once you’ve set up your new season, make sure you have created a backup and copied your data to a card. Once your harvest data has been entered into SMS, you should delete your old season from your display.
Getting Started It’s almost time to head to the field, and just a little more preparation will save you time once you get there. If you’re going to the field this fall then most likely you already know what product will be applied to your fields. Take this time to enter those products or product mixes into your display, making sure to use the correct units (lbs v tons) and ratios when setting up the mixes. If you are going to use prescriptions to variable rate your fertilizer, load a few of the files on the display to be sure the rates show up correctly and are written in the correct units. For those of you applying Anhydrous, make sure to select the appropriate controlling product. After you select NH3 you have the ability to control that product in either lbs of Nitrogen, or lbs of NH3; do not skip this step!
Preventative Troubleshooting A few more items to take care of before you head to the field are to inspect your equipment and complete a system test. nbsp; A lot of equipment used for fall application has not been used for up to a year, and in some cases may have even gotten overrun by weeds. Clean the equipment up, check cabling for any pinched or damaged wires and check for blown fuses. If you have a flow meter, have it calibrated and serviced. If you have an injection pump that has had N-serve through it, have the seals replaced and service the pump before going to the field with it. Upgrade your display and modules to the latest firmware, which is available on the Ag Leader website. Now you can complete a system test. Create a test field and load your configuration on the display, then enter a rate, manual ground speed and turn AutoSwath off to test the system. Turn your master and boom switches on and you should be able to hear/see your valves turn. If you can identify a problem now it will save you valuable time in the field. Hopefully this will give you a few things to check and will help prevent some problems in the field. Have a safe and productive fall season!

Construction Begins on Shelby County Complex
Shelby County, City of Shelbyville and Runnebohm Construction officials break ground on the new Shelby County Complex on Friday. | photo by ANNA TUNGATE
Local government and business officials on Friday celebrated Earth Day and the 31st anniversary of the formation of the Shelby County Solid Waste District by breaking ground on the new Shelby County Complex, which will house the highway department and county recycling district facilities.
Shelby County Recycling District Executive Director Lisa Carpenter said the N. Michigan Road location is best for the future.
“Studies have shown that the current site is the perfect location for a new highway garage, transfer station, recycling building and fuel station,” she said. The current highway garage will be used to house Shelby County Emergency Management.
The new facilities will include expanded offerings and classroom space.
“The first-ever recycling building will be able to provide services such as collection of household hazardous waste. Currently, we only do that on Saturdays. We will be able to do that all during the week,” Carpenter said.
Runnebohm Construction was selected to oversee the project. Chris King, executive vice president at Runnebohm, listed some of the subcontractors involved in the project, including Mathies Landscape, Shelby Mechanical, M and C Excavating, Crim and Sons Asphalt Paving, Builders Lumber & Hardware and Shelby Materials.
“This is going to be a very local project,” King said.
Demolition work will begin on the property next week, with construction expected to be completed in about a year.
Ice Cream Sodas: Gone but not Forgotten
It is amazing how much things can change in a week. Just last week, I thought that I was born in the best of times. I took you all on a little journey down memory lane with me. I thought I had it great as a boy because Cokes only cost a dime.
Several old-timers set me straight. Now I realize that I missed the good times by a few years. Loyal reader Jeff Linder called to tell me that Cokes were only a nickel at Endicott’s Grocery in Flat Rock when he was a boy. Jeff also would sometimes shop for bargains at Bob Cochran’s Grocery located about a mile west of Lewis Creek.
Carolyn Moheban told me that when she was a youngster, her parents owned a grocery store in New Castle, Indiana. It was Turner’s Grocery, and bread was only 12 cents a loaf.
I had almost started believing that I was born too late when I spotted a sign that brought me back to reality. It wasn’t actually a sign. It was something I spotted on a gravestone while taking a walk in Forest Hill Cemetery.
It was the gravestone of George R. Nicholson. Carved into the granite was the image of a “Mister Softee” ice cream cone.
“Mister Softee” is the brand name of a company that sells ice cream from trucks. Mr. Softee wasn’t just a truck with a freezer full of premade ice cream bars and popsicles. Mr. Softee featured “made to order” cones, shakes, sodas and banana splits. It was a full-service ice cream parlor on wheels.
The only difference between Mr. Softee and deluxe ice cream parlors of the day was the lack of entertainment. Farrell’s at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis featured a piano player and singing waiters. I preferred Mr. Softee. I always thought the piano music, singing waiters, and siren going off every few minutes to announce another birthday was annoying. The few times I was at Farrell’s, I wasn’t sure if I got a headache from eating my ice cream too fast or from the atmosphere.
After my walk in the cemetery, I stopped by Team Schwinn headquarters, The Bookmark Café. I was rambling on and on about fond memories from my youth of the Mr. Softee truck. I was interrupted by the lady on stool number 2 at the lunch counter. “Whatever happened to ice cream sodas?” she said. “Ice cream sodas were featured at soda fountains, and now they aren’t even on the menu.”
Wow, I had almost forgotten about ice cream sodas. Dick Bishopp once told me the best chocolate ice cream sodas were served at Fleming’s Drug Store on North Harrison St.
The fellow playing bongos at the café told me that I should write a poem lamenting the demise of the ice cream soda. He said there are no ice cream sodas for the same reason most cafés don’t have poets or bongo players: lack of skill. An element of skill was involved concocting an ice cream soda. Anyone can grind up candy bars and stir them in ice cream. Turning the cup upside down to prove the ice cream is thick is merely a charade.
I believe the bongo player is right. I thought back, way back, to my last chocolate ice cream soda. It was sometime in the 1980s. It was at the Tastee Freeze on Vine Street. It was delicious. I remember being impressed by the care and effort the big guy waiting on me put into making that soda: layering the flavors, mixing in the soda water, and topping it with whipped cream and a cherry. I think the name of the artist who made me that chocolate ice cream soda was George R. Nicholson.
Shelbyville High School freshman Gavyn Fisher threw a no-hitter yesterday to lead the Golden Bears to a 20-0 win over Southwestern in baseball action. Fisher struck out four and didn’t walk any. The Bears put up nine runs in the fourth inning. Among those gettings hits for SHS included Asher Balting, Caden Tackett, Dalton Jones, Luke Jackson, Kade McNicholas and Fisher.
CORRECTION: Information on the Legacy Tree and Trail Walks published Friday had been revised. The walks at Meltzer Woods advertised for April 29 and 30 will not be held. However, there is a 1 p.m. Legacy Tree and Trail Walk today, led by Kris Schwickrath, starting at the tree in front of the Shelby County Public Library.
HOOSIER NEWS: Ball State University’s president says the school will spend $10 million on incentives for faculty taking advantage of a voluntary early retirement program next month. Announced to faculty in December, the program is only offered this academic year. Full-time professors that meet a metric – age plus number of years of service – could apply to retire early. Those that do will receive a one-time payment of 125 percent of their annual salary. Ball State University’s administration says the coronavirus pandemic required a quick move to online and other ways of teaching. It’s a technological shift that President Geoffrey Mearns says will only increase going forward, and the school needs a faculty who can meet the challenge. For example, Mearns says a survey shows 80 percent of students prefer summer classes be offered online, not in-person. The president also says the program’s purpose isn’t to replace full-time faculty with adjunct or part-time instructors. In December, the university said nearly 300 faculty members were eligible for the program. Now, 92 of those are set to retire on May 14. (Indiana Public Radio)

Barbara Alice Langeslag, 81, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on April 16, 2022, at St. Patrick’s Hospital surrounded by her family. She was born January 6, 1941, in Shelbyville, Ind., to Chester and Wrethal Lancaster. She graduated from Shelbyville High School in 1959.
She married Lew Wilkinson on September 4, 1959. From that union they had three children Lisa, Janet (stillborn) and Lyle. The family moved to Montana in February 1973. Several years later she and Lew divorced. Barbara had a lifelong career in banking. She retired three different times from Farmers State Bank after 20-plus years. She loved working there so much – she kept coming back! Everyone teased her that she just liked the retirement parties! On January 17, 1991, Barbara married an awesome and loving helpmate, Thomas Langeslag. The epitaph they have picked for their headstone at Victor Cemetery sums up their 30-plus years together: We Laughed, We Loved, We Lived, Because of Jesus – We still Live.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, her brother and sister-in-law, Earl and Marilyn Lancaster, daughter Janet (stillborn), grandson Cody Wilkinson, several aunts, uncles and cousins. Survivors include her husband Thomas of Victor, MT, daughter Lisa (Charlie) Roberts of Victor, MT, son Lyle (Annetta) Wilkinson of Lake Mary Ronan, MT, stepdaughter Terri Senske and stepson Scott (Ann) Lang of Chanhassen, MN, grandchildren Levi (Lisa) Wilkinson, Corie (KT) King, Tyler Wilkinson, Leland and Jennifer Fisher, Gabrielle (Dakota) Milligan, Madison and Trevor Lang and Jack Senske. She was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, Landon and Paislee Wilkinson.
Barbara enjoyed being a wife and mother but her greatest joy was becoming a grandmother – so much so that to many of you she was known as “Grandma Barb.” Mom shared with us that her greatest joys were the following in the order stated: Faith, Family, Friends, Adventures and her Life overall. This is evident to everyone who knew her and can be seen and felt throughout their home. Mom loved and knew how to have fun! She was active and dedicated to her Lord and church family throughout her life. She was a blessing and encouragement to so many. We have witnessed this from so many of you who have reached out to us during this difficult time. Thank you and God bless you.
Services will be held on Monday April 25, 2022 at 3 p.m. at Community Baptist Church in Stevensville, MT with a reception following in the Fellowship Hall. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.

NEPTUNE IN FIRST HOUSE Of Solar Return Astrology Chart
its very highest manifestation, Neptune — Ruler of Pisces, in the 1st house of Solar return is associated with a renewed commitment of the self to a higher force or principle.
This placement implies spirituality in being and in action.
It is not enough to believe in higher forces—you must also act accordingly, practicing what you preach.
During the Solar return year ,the individual is seen as a part of the Universal Whole, possessing both personal insignificance and great spiritual importance at the same time.
Insignificance occurs when the individual tries to stand alone.
Self-centered needs and egotism are dwarfed in comparison to the spiritual process, and do not matter in the long run. If the will is not in keeping with the Divine purpose, it is limited and meaningless.
Purely personal endeavors tend to get sidetracked before completion since the needs of others are more pressing, understandable, and important within the context of the Whole.
For this reason, ...
One tends to be egoless at this time, giving unselfishly to others and subjugating the self to a higher purpose. Even though this is a time of personal insignificance, it is also a time of great spiritual importance for the individual.
If you choose to view yourself and your soul within the realm of Universal consciousness, you will become aware. of the role you play in the spiritual process and your ability to affect another soul’s growth and potential.
This is a time when you might understand some truth others miss, and if you are willing to give unselfishly, you can be a beacon for those who are blind. Situations may be subtle or blatant, commitments passing or definitive.
In less obvious interchanges, compassion is increased, and you naturally want to help others.
You become the Good Samaritan giving your time and energy to those in need whether family, neighbors, or friends. In blatant interchanges, there is a definite request followed by a firm commitment to a cause, task, or individual.
You know what you are getting into. Some will choose to help many; others, only one particular person. As a rule, the process of assisting others comes easily and naturally when there is an awareness of a principle higher than one’s own ego.
During these times of giving, you will be encouraged to grow spiritually. Tasks usually exceed previous understanding and capabilities, and you must rise to the occasion through further enlightenment.
Certain cautions are necessary. Be sure the person or people you assist respond to your help in one way or another.
Either their condition should improve, or they should learn new patterns of behavior, possibly responding with love and kindness toward you or someone else. It is not essential that you personally receive a return. This placement is associated with selflessness and what you are doing may specifically require an unselfish act of love. However, don’t repeatedly waste your energy when there is no improvement at all. There are exceptions to this rule. Certain conditions are degenerative by their very nature, and do not lend themselves to improvement. For example, you may be caring for a person with a debilitating or progressive illness.
The manifestation of giving is meant to be helpful to the receiver, not draining for the giver.
This is a Solar Return year when you may be drawn to people in constant need, and in very negative interchanges when your help is not accepted, appreciated or effective, you will be drained.
Planet in Solar Return Aspecting in NEPTUNE
Do not become victimized by alcoholics, drug addicts, or those who really require professional help, but refuse to seek it.
Do not become so enamored of another person’s problems that you close your eyes to your own welfare. It is possible to enter or remain in a situation which is personally difficult for you and has no easy ending or way out. You adapt so easily to those around you that you might adapt yourself into a psychologically unhealthy situation. Maintain a sense of spiritual purpose. Regardless of your circumstances, whether you are involved in a positive or negative gift of love, push for insight and growth.
While you are focusing on higher thoughts,
you may have more difficulty with personal direction. You may not always understand your own actions, and can feel confused, indecisive, or lacking in ego definition. Surefootedness and stubborn opinions are unlikely because you are easily swayed. Self-knowledge will be elusive as you continually discover previously unknown facets of your personality. Preferences and abilities are in a state of flux. Unfortunately, it may not be easy to relate to your own quirks, or see your own contribution to problems and issues.
This is especially true if one is not working with spiritual or psychological insight. Instead, you can be evasive or deceiving, lying when pressured. If the future appears uncertain, this is a time to go with the flow of events even though you are not sure where it will lead. Perhaps you are choosing to wait for another person to make a move or decision and this contributes to your uncertainty.
In rare instances, drugs, alcohol or personality aberrations can be the cause of your confusion or weakened vitality. Ongoing addictions can be particularly detrimental this year since this is a time when your body would tend to be overly sensitive to all medications, even prescription drugs. For this reason, alternative medical treatments might be more beneficial. When living on the higher Neptune level, confusion, indecision, and drug-related problems are unlikely. You are much more likely to act on intuition, instinctively flowing with the Higher Self.

Softmaker Freeoffice is an office suite that is available for both windows and linux, with a free and paid version. The free version can be downloaded from the websitehttp://www.freeoffice.com/en/download
The suite provides the following 3 applications
This is the wordprocessor. Supports microsoft formats like docx and doc. However the free version can only ready the latest docx formats but not write them. This limitation is covered up in the paid version.
This is the excel application in the suite. This too can open microsoft formats like xls and xlsx.
Right as the name suggests, this is the powerpoint application of the suite.
To install Freeoffice just register at the download pagehttp://www.freeoffice.com/en/download
and they would send you an email containing the download link. The download would contain a single deb file that can be easily install on ubuntu using gdebi or dpkg as follows
$ dpkg -i ./softmaker-freeoffice_676-01_amd64.deb
There are some differences between the free and the commercial versions. Check out the website for a complete list of the features.
I personally find it a bit better than Libreoffice/openoffice for 2 reasons ...
1. It starts 2x faster than libreoffice. Works well on netbooks and older computer that are low on hardware resources.
2. Has got a very neat user interface compared to libreoffice even on KDE desktop. Gives a very organised and confident look.
Apart from that it can be run portably from a usb drive as well. Works good for simple day to day tasks. Try it out.

Inflation is still high, resulting in increased costs for well completion and production activities. This is hurting the bottom line of oilfield service players. Strict capital discipline by upstream energy companies is also acting as a dampener, making the outlook for the Zacks Oil and Gas- Field Servicesindustry gloomy.
Among the companies in the industry that will probably survive the business challenges are SLB SLB, Halliburton Company HAL, Weatherford International plc WFRD and Oceaneering International, Inc. OII.
About the Industry
The Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry comprises companies that primarily engage in providing support services to exploration and production players. These companies help in manufacturing, repairing and maintaining wells, drilling equipment, leasing of drilling rigs, seismic testing, and transport and directional solutions, among others. Also, the firms help upstream energy players locate oil and natural gas and drill and evaluate hydrocarbon wells. Hence, oilfield services businesses are positively correlated to expenditures from upstream firms. Furthermore, with countries worldwide investing heavily in liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, a few oilfield service companies are extending their reach beyond the hydrocarbon fields and capitalizing on contracts for manufacturing equipment used in LNG facilities to decrease carbon emissions.
3 Trends Defining the Oilfield Services Industry's Future
Inflation Remains Elevated: Persistently high inflation levels and the slim likelihood of reverting to pre-pandemic conditions in the short term are contributing to increased costs for well completion and production activities, as well as drilling and evaluation services. This is hurting the bottom line of oilfield services players.
Lower Upstream Spending: Although the commodity pricing scenario is favorable for exploration and production operations, there has been a slowdown in drilling activities, which may continue as upstream players are prioritizing stockholder returns rather than boosting output. Drilling activity slowdown signifies lower demand for oilfield services as oilfield service players mainly assist upstream companies in setting up oil and gas wells.
Low Dividend Yield: While companies in the industry prioritize returning capital to shareholders, oilfield service players have consistently offered lower dividend yields than the broader energy sector in the last three years. This poses a challenge for investors seeking steady income from their investments.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bearish Outlook
The Zacks Oil and Gas – Field Services is a 22-stock group within the broader Zacks Oil - Energy sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #194, which places it in the bottom 23% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates gloomy near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Before we present a few stocks that you may consider, let’s take a look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Lags S&P 500, Outperforms Sector
The Zacks Oil and Gas – Field Services industry has lagged the Zacks S&P 500 composite but outperformed the broader Zacks Oil – Energy sector over the past year.
The industry has soared 13.3% over this period compared with the S&P 500’s gain of 17.7% and the broader sector’s 1.2% decline.
One-Year Price Performance
Industry's Current Valuation
Since oil and gas companies are debt-laden, it makes sense to value them based on the EV/EBITDA (Enterprise Value/Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization) ratio. This is because the valuation metric takes not just equity into account but also the level of debt. For capital-intensive companies, EV/EBITDA is a better valuation metric because it is not influenced by changing capital structures and ignores the effect of non-cash expenses.
On the basis of the trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA, the industry is currently trading at 8.16X compared with the S&P 500’s 13.21X and sector’s 3.67X.
Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 12.37X and as low as 1.00X, with a median of 8.21X.

4 Oilfield Services Stocks Moving Ahead of the Pack

Price and Consensus: SLB
Weatherford is a key energy player and is engaged in offering exclusive drilling technologies that will maximize clients’ reservoir exposure. Weatherford is also involved in well construction and completion activities in an efficient manner. WFRD currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Price and Consensus: HAL

Every person has a sign in their astrological chart’s moon, rising, and Venus placements. Your rising sign represents how people perceive you when they first meet you, whereas Venus signifies love and beauty.
You are unique and imaginative if your moon sign is Aquarius. Instead of being ashamed by your differences, you embrace them. You’re drawn to folks who are strong and secure. You dislike having people follow you. Trendsetters are your favorites. You surround yourself with people who have the same goals as you.
You are unique and rebellious if your Venus sign is Aquarius. You have no desire to blend in with the crowd. You’re also free-spirited and have an open mind. You will not be forced by your peers to refrain from doing something that makes you uncomfortable. Without being affected by others, you make your own decisions.
You’re an innovator if your rising sign is Aquarius. You always come up with excellent ideas and stand out from the pack. It makes no difference if people stare at you because their opinions have no bearing on you. You are confident in who you are and are not ashamed of it.
In This Article...
The planet Neptune rules Pisces, which is a water sign. A pair of fish swimming head to tail represents them. Pisces people are generous, sympathetic, and emotionally aware. They aren’t frightened to show their vulnerability in public. Pisces, on the other hand, might be grumpy at times. People with evil intentions can also take advantage of them. They are gullible because they constantly find the best in others.
Personality Traits of a Pisces Sun Sign
Pisces are loyal, passionate, and compassionate. They will show their lover consistent love and respect when they enter a relationship. They would never deceive or hurt their lover. However, Pisces might be overly forgiving at times. They will overlook a person’s flaws if they love them. Even if they’ve been harmed previously, Pisces will give their loved ones the benefit of the doubt.
Pisces: Moon, Rising, and Venus Signs
In astrology, everyone has a sign in their zodiac chart’s moon, rising, and Venus placements. Your rising sign represents how people perceive you when they first meet you, whereas Venus signifies love and beauty.
You are empathic if your moon sign is Pisces. You are more concerned with the people around you than with yourself. When someone you care about is in pain, you feel it too. It’s difficult for you to stand by and watch injustice. You wish to solve whatever issues you come across.
You are gentle, sympathetic, and playful if your Venus sign is Pisces. You’re also a free spirit. You don’t make arrangements ahead of time. You just go with it and see what happens. You’re the type of person that like to live in the now. You’re more concerned with the present than with the future or the past.
If Pisces is your rising sign, you are a kind person. You have exceptional body language reading skills and can detect when someone is in pain. You, too, are a dreamer. Throughout the day, your mind tend to wander. You have trouble staying concentrated for long periods of time.
Aquarius and Pisces Compatibility
Both of these zodiac signs are idealists that desire to improve the world. They’ll have thoughtful discussions on how they can influence society. Neither of them, however, will take action. They will not push each other to achieve their objectives. They will merely talk about their ambitions without putting out any effort. Both Aquarius and Pisces benefit from having people that actively promote them.
Aquarius and Pisces: Love, Sex, and Relationship
Pisces and Aquarius are a good match in the bedroom, but they’ll clash in other areas of the relationship. Pisces should avoid being overly attached to an Aquarius since Aquarius will escape if they feel trapped. They require a lot of personal space and time. Pisces needs to give their spouse more space than usual in order for their relationship to work. And Aquarius will have to open up more than normal. For the sake of the partnership, they must both change.
Who are Pisces’ closest friends?
A Pisces can seem like a wonderful frienduntil you realize how little you know about them. While Pisces are natural therapists, they can be secretive about who they are, only exposing their true selves once they have gained your trustand they may never divulge who they truly are. To strangers, a Pisces can appear icy and reclusive, and it can be difficult to coax them out of their shell.
Pisces are faithful, yet it is to themselves that they are most loyal. They will only give people in their lives a limited number of opportunities, and they will not risk their own health and well-being for the sake of another. In a friendship scenario, a Pisces makes their terms clear and will always be themselves. This can be irritatingfor example, a Pisces won’t go to a restaurant for another friend’s birthday dinner if she despises the place or felt victimized therebut keep in mind that it’s not personal.
A Pisces is well-liked, well-educated, and provides a distinct viewpoint to every conversation. Pisces enjoys social gatherings and enjoys meeting new people, however huge gatherings might fatigue Pisces. Pisces prefers private meetings or one-on-one chats, especially if they become heated. A Pisces values childhood friendships and will maintain contact with them even if they feel they’ve grown apart from themas long as the buddy doesn’t try to persuade them to compromise their values.
Best Friend Match for Pisces: Cancer
Cancer and Pisces, both water signs, are intense. They appear to have a telepathic connection and can sense the air surrounding each other, recognizing when the other wants space or when the other’s soul is dying to laugh at a comedy show. These two signs see, respect, and even admire all aspects of the other, including those that others may find dark and twisting.
Pisces and Cancer both value intellectual and cultural endeavors and like competing with one another. While these two can have strong differences, their regard for one another raises them above arguments. They may not agree with each other’s viewpoint, but they may respect it.
While both Pisces and Cancer have a jealous streak, this isn’t the true when they seek out new acquaintances. They understand that you can’t hang onto someone (at least in friendship; this lesson is sometimes more difficult to master when it comes to love), and that space can bring you closer.
How to Make Friends with a Pisces
They deserve respect. For a Pisces, respect goes a long way, and even a joke might be taken personally by this sign. While Pisces has a sense of humor, it can take some time to figure out which jokes will hit home with them, so it’s better to be serious until you get to know them. A Pisces is always on the lookout for intellectual connections, so giving a book, film, or music recommendation can be a terrific way to get to know a Pisces. While a Pisces may be wary of discussing their inner self, discussing the arts is a terrific approach to learn about how they see the world.
Are the signs Pisces and Aquarius rivals?
Aquarius. Aquarius’ opponents are Pisces and Sagittarius, since Pisces seeks straightforward answers, which Aquarius frequently refuses to deliver. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is like a free bird and pays little attention to Aquarius, which annoys them.
Which zodiac signs are best friends?
There’s no doubting that some zodiac signs are intended to be best friends with one another. Aries and Gemini, Taurus and Virgo, Leo and Sagittarius, Libra and Gemini, Capricorn and Scorpio, and Pisces and Scorpio, to mention a few, are genuine BFFs.
However, zodiac factors have a role in determining which zodiac signs work well together. For example, Libra, an Air sign, gets along swimmingly with Gemini, another Air sign, and Aries, a Fire sign. Similarly, the Earth signs Virgo and Capricorn complement Cancer.
Unfortunately, some couples aren’t a perfect match. Which astrological signs are rivals? T
What are the indicators that Aquarius despises?
Aquarius’ Incompatible Star Signs: Aquarius’ Worst Matches Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, and Virgo are the zodiac signs that are the worst matches for Aquarius. Find out why they are negative for Aquarius and in what ways in this astrological article.
What causes an Aquarius to cry?
(January 20 February 18) AQUARIUS Aquarius, with all their serenity, love, and pleasure, has a tendency to cry. A lot. Aquarius can cry over everything and everything, whether it’s because it’s so beautiful, too emotional, or just plain tragic.
Who should Pisces stay away from?
Despite the fact that Pisces will go to great lengths to help others, they have a difficult time accepting help. The most romantically favorable signs for Pisces are Capricorn, Cancer, Leo, and Taurus. They have the least compatibility with Gemini and Sagittarius.
Which signs should avoid each other?
There are four Zodiac signs who struggle with friendships and are more likely to be lonely.
- Taurus. Taureans enjoy making new friends and having fun with them, but they do require some alone time to rest and reflect after a while.
What happens if an Aquarius is ignored?
His heart is about to break. The silence may bother Aquarius. Air signs enjoy exchanging ideas, so not communicating with you can make him feel emotionally isolated.

New Castle Presbyterian Church has been a Christian presence in New Castle and beyond for over 360 years. We have been worshipping in our present Meeting House since 1707. We invite you to join our nearly 200 members from Delaware and neighboring states as we grow in number and in spirit.
New Castle Presbyterian Church as a congregation stem from the first services of the Dutch Reformed (Calvinist) founders of New Castle. A clergyman of that faith accompanied Peter Stuyvesant and his men in 1651 when they built Fort Casimir. The first permanent pastor of the congregation was the Rev. Evardus Welius who arrived on August 21, 1657, now celebrated by us as our founding date. The first church building was located on the Strand - site of #26 and #28 today.
In 1664, the British took possession of the colony from the Dutch, and growing numbers of French Huguenots, Scottish, and English colonists settled in the town. With the arrival in 1668 of the Rev. John Wilson, a Scotsman, the church assumed its distinctive Presbyterian form.
In 1706, the Rev. Francis Makemie, the Rev. Wilson, and six other ministers met in Philadelphia to organize the first Presbytery in the New World.
A year later, the present meeting house was built. It served as the site of worship until 1854 when a Gothic brownstone sanctuary was built. The old 1707 meeting house then served as the church school and fellowship hall.
By the 1940s, the brownstone structure was deemed unsafe and had to be razed. The congregation agreed to keep the still-sound and historic meeting house, which was restored to its original design in 1950, and the present Christian Education building was added in 1959.
For over three centuries, the New Castle Presbyterian Church has provided and active Christian witness and presence in the community.

West Ham will be beaming with confidence as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League clash on Sunday. The home side will want to break a jinx that has seen them go winless at home against Spurs in close to four years in the league. The Hammers are currently in flying form having won five of their last seven matches, while the visiting side have lost four games in their last five fixtures.
There’s everything to fight for in this tie, with Tottenham eager to come out with a win after West Ham produced a brilliant comeback in the reverse fixture to draw the game 3-3 after initially going 3-0 down. José Mourinho and his men will want to get the win in order to have their morale boosted following a couple of poor results lately.
The match will be played at the London Stadium on Sunday, 21st of February 2021. The scheduled kick-off time is 12pm and it will be shown on Sky Sports.
Ahead of the game, Fabian Balbuena and Michail Antonio both face late fitness tests and will be assessed to confirm if they will be able to feature in the clash. Tottenham, on the other hand, will be hoping that star striker and England forward Harry Kane will be fit enough to make the trip following his absence from the team that won at Wolfsberger in the Europa League on Thursday.
Dele Alli and Gareth Bale were brilliant in Europe for Spurs but were later substituted, which suggests that either or both players could play a part in the game. Heung-min Son is another player that was brought off the game but is expected to make the starting line-up on Sunday.
Head to Head
West Ham Wins – 64
Draws – 98
Tottenham Wins – 98
The home team West Ham are currently in form and will want to continue that way. However, Tottenham will do enough to avoid defeat in the league again. The prediction for this match is West Ham 1-1 Tottenham.

LVMH-owned Ole Henriksen continues to attract consumers with its innovative botanical skin care products and strong brand DNA. Lucy Copp explores the story behind the company and what it has planned for the future
Set against the glamorous backdrop of Beverly Hills and with a client list to match, it would seem that beauty entrepreneur Ole Henriksen was destined to make a name for himself – and his eponymous skin care brand – from the outset. But away from the glitz, it was Henriksen’s innovative approach to product formulations, state of the art equipment and tailored treatments that set him apart from the crowd all those years ago, not to mention his unwavering brand ethos that put consumer confidence at its core both then and now.
Henriksen’s fascination with skin care began at an early age. Living in Jakarta, Indonesia, and working as a show dancer and model, Henriksen suffered with acne as a young man. Consequently, he sought the help of a local esthetician, who successfully cleared up his complexion using natural treatments. Inspired by his experience, Henriksen promptly enrolled at the Christine Shaw Beauty College in London, where he studied cosmetic chemistry, before going to work for Helena Rubinstein as an educational team member in London.
In 1974 Henriksen stepped back into a treatment room at Fabulous Faces in San Francisco, specialising in acne treatments and chemical peels. Having refined his skills and knowledge, in 1975 Henriksen opened the Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa in Beverly Hills and quite literally became an overnight s

Meet Kampire, the Ugandan DJ dancing through political barriers
27 Jul 2019
Photography by Darlyne Komukama
Someone has dislocated their knee on the dancefloor. Possibly, this is due to some previous ailment, but I’m choosing to interpret it as the logical bodily reaction to dancing very intensely to the euphoric set that DJ Kampire Bahana is in the midst of.
Raised in Zambia by Ugandan parents, Kampire is an activist and feminist writer (she has written for us before, too), but she’s best known as a DJ, as part of Nyege Nyege – a collective, label and festival that platforms pan-African artists, expanding the concept of what people think African music is or should be. Nyege Nyege has created a space where queer people and femmes can come and dance – although, given Uganda’s laws on homosexuality, promoting this in a way that’s safe can be difficult to say the least.
Kampire’s sets draw sounds from her East-African heritage, but also more generally from across her continent – everything from acholitronix to soukous to kuduro to Congolese rumba, as well as styles we’re more likely to hear in the UK such as afrobeats (she even occasionally nods to Caribbean sounds, by way of soca).
When I meet up with Kampire at New York’s Red Bull Music Festival, she’s thoughtful and enthusiastic as we discuss her life, Nyege Nyege, and – of course – white cratediggers “discovering” artists across the continent.
gal-dem: When you were a kid, what was your dream profession?
Kampire: When I was young, I wanted to be Christiane Amanpour, I wanted to be a journalist. My mum was a history and English teacher so we were always really into books and then I was like, oh okay, maybe I’ll be a writer – but I was never really that person who had a very specific idea of what I wanted to do other than when I was 8 years old [laughs]. So my career just sort of evolved randomly, very randomly. I worked with like women’s NGOs for a bit which was great because I got to travel to rural areas in Uganda and apply some of this feminist theory that I believe in and had been learning about in university in specific and tangible ways. Like, getting more women in government in Uganda. But also I got very frustrated with the NGO model.
In what ways?
Just… Well, personally I think that NGOs are never going to “save Africa” because they are a business model that want to sustain themselves, so they’re never going to solve the problem. Also it’s this idea that Africa, we need help and we need other people to come and save us – with the NGO industry, most of the money goes back to Western countries. So I was getting frustrated with that model and then sort of moved into the arts world and tried to apply my skills there. And then a friend wanted to organise for this festival and was like, do you want to help? And it just sort of spiralled from there [laughs].
And did it just feel logical to play the music that you play?
I mean I’ve always had a very specific music taste and I always wanted to be the person at the party that was controlling the playlist. I always talked about global bass and people like Buraka Som Sistema and M.I.A. who really opened my mind to this kind of… “third world electronic music conversation”, and I was like, “why is this not playing in Kampala?” People would love to dance to it. Also I loved this older African music and wanted that to be part of our musical heritage and… You know, I was not necessarily being super conscious about what I was doing at the time but just these are the songs that I wanted to hear on big speakers basically. When I play, say, like a 90s or 80s Congolese song, which when we were all 10 years old was like the song of the summer, or the song of everyone’s Christmas parties – when I play it on the dancefloor now and see the way that people react! I’m like, oh, I’ve done a good thing [laughs].
“Hopefully the face that I’m sitting here shows that there’s a shift towards wanting Africans to speak for themselves – wanting what we think is important to be part of the global conversation”
There’s been a trend of white dudes going to Africa, “discovering” artists and records. In some ways it can be seen as a good thing – someone like Ata Kak going on tour off the back of being discovered again, or whatever. But there’s also the flip side where there’s some sort of weird colonial hangover about it…
100%, yeah but I think Africans, we’re not yet over this colonial mentality…Valorising things that are discovered by the West or things have to be discovered by the West to be valuable. But you know, we’re not the ones in power here. You can’t blame Africans for that – people are always like, “oh, why don’t you guys value your own stuff? Why do white people have to come and dig up, dust off records?” We’re not the ones in charge. But I think that hopefully the fact that I’m sitting here shows that there’s a shift towards wanting Africans to speak for themselves and for them to be in charge of their own careers and also their taste and point of views and what they think is important to also be considered in the global conversation.
“Our stated intention was just to play some music and throw some crazy parties, but you can’t divorce these things from politics”
In Western music media I feel like there’s been a lack of nuance in how music from across the continent is described even. Everything is Afrobeats, everything’s Afropop or, if someone’s not sure, they just put the word Afro in front of it. How do we move past that?
I think wanting Africans to be the ones describing stuff for themselves and like, to explain the meaning of things and to you know, give value to that aspect rather than having things always be seen and described from the outside. I think that it’s going to take some time, we’re not there yet.
Is the music you play internationally different to what you would play in Kampala?
Yeah, I think in Kampala I’m more trying to play things that would be different – different, but familiar to Kampala audiences. So I want to play a lot of these older African songs that people know but might not necessarily hear in clubs, or to be part of the international global bass conversation because I think that music is fantastically danceable and also related to our own musical heritage in Kampala. But when I’m outside, when I’m on tour, I feel a responsibility to like play East African music or African music for the rest of the world. And to play things that, you know, don’t get played out in New York or London ordinarily. So it’s kind of a little bit of a different mindset.
“Making a safe space that’s open and not coming under notice of the government is a weird game, a weird balance”
How do you go about trying to create a safer space with Nyege Nyege?
We want everybody to have access to this space, and we want sexual minorities to feel safe there. There’s a lot of difficulty in terms of trying to guarantee people’s safety while also being an open space. There has to be different levels at different kinds of events. I’ve been in the middle of some very difficult conversations – some of my friends are like, “I don’t feel safe in this space” or “I feel like they’re using queer bodies as adverts and not guaranteeing people’s safety”. Then I speak to the organisers about how people are feeling and they’re like, “yes but we also want to make sure that 1. it’s open but 2. that we’re not coming under notice of the government by officially being a queer party.” So it’s like a weird game, a weird balance that needs to be met. It’s a day to day thing and it’s a continued conversation. It’s a struggle but I think anything worth having is difficult [laughs].
It sort of has to be innately political?
Even when our stated intention was just to play some music and throw some crazy parties, you can’t divorce these things from politics. And so if you want to create a space where everyone can party freely and every type of person can come without worrying about issues of class and gender and that kind of thing, then you’re going to butt up against some of your society’s ideals.
On the subject of class, I know in India a lot of the underground rave scene is dominated by middle-class people. What is it like in Uganda?
From the beginning we’ve very much had to think about things like accessibility and make sure that the tickets are prices that average Ugandans can afford. Our festival is in Jinja, and you can’t just have the people who will be picking up after you not have access to the spaces. So we make sure that a bunch of free tickets and cheap tickets are available for the people who live in Jinja.
Also, our pop music in Uganda is dominated by a specific ethnic group who are the Buganda people – the people of Central Uganda which is where the capital city is and they have a lot of cultural influence. But we have so many different ethnic groups in Uganda and they all have their own music – but you would only hear that music at their parties. So before Nyege Nyege, you would only hear that acholitronix at weddings, but that’s great danceable music. People are proud of that music being a Ugandan export and it now being appreciated outside.
My final question because I just realised I don’t know the answer – what does “Nyege Nyege” mean?
So in Luganda, which is one of the main languages in Uganda, it means the urge to dance. But in Swahili, it means the urge to fuck [laughs]. Literally, it means “horny horny” in Swahili. I think to an extent, it bit us in the ass last year because we had the minister of ethics who tried to shut down the festival, and I think part of the reason was because up until two years ago when you searched for “Nyege Nyege” on Instagram, it was all dirty jokes in Swahili [laughs]. So not great PR, but I think on the other hand it’s sort of become very representative of who we are and what we’re trying to do. We might not intentionally be political or intentionally be trying to butt up against these barriers or piss anybody off, but it sort of dances in that grey zone.
Kampire plays Phonox, London on August 3. Nyege Nyege Festival takes place in Jinja, Uganda, September 5 – 8.
The inaugural UK Red Bull Music Festival takes place this August and September, celebrating London’s multicultural DIY culture with performances from Alicai Harley, Br3nya, Ms Dynamite, gal-dem resident DJ Lil C and more. For more information click here.

You need more space, and you’re considering all of your options. Is a deck a good way to fulfill your needs?
Decks offer a lot of advantages. Here are just a few of them…
Increase Your Property Value
A deck is an excellent investment because it increases living space without an indoor addition’s high price tag. On average, you can expect a return on investment of 75% when you add a deck to your home.
A deck is a fantastic place to entertain. Your home may not be large enough to host an event, but with a deck, you’ll have the extra space. And just think, you won’t have to worry about spills or other costly cleanups.
Add a portable bar and an outdoor grill to your deck for maximum party potential.
A deck requires very little maintenance. Wood decks need to be stained annually and sealed every few years. Composite decks require no maintenance at all.
More Living Space
Think of your deck as an extension of your indoor living space. Use it for reading, relaxing, eating, playing, and more. Some people choose to add outdoor exercise equipment or hot tubs to their decks for even more creative ways to use it.
We all need more room to store things. Add an underdeck watershed system, and you’ll have dry storage space below the deck. Use it for outdoor chairs, pool toys, lawnmowers, and other outdoor items that need a dry home.
Decks are fully customizable. You may choose to have a simple rectangular deck for your outdoor chairs, or you may want a multi-tiered deck with a table and benches and a built-in grilling station. Choose your design, stain color, and accessories to make your deck exactly what you want.
Added Living Space
A deck provides additional living space at a fraction of the cost of an indoor addition.
Less Lawn Care
For those of us who aren’t keen on yard work, a deck replaces some of your grass!
The bottom line is that a deck provides aesthetically pleasing, functional living space with good ROI. When you’re ready to build the deck of your dreams on your property, contact us at Quality Homes of Rochester. We have built many decks throughout Rochester, NY, and the surrounding areas, and we’re looking forward to building yours!

I bought a new Nintendo Switch OLED over the weekend.
For anyone that knows me very well, this probably seems like a strange, and perhaps ill-considered, decision. I’ve had a Nintendo Switch now for almost five years, but I haven’t really played it for the last couple. Why would I go out and buy something so similar to what I already have, and don’t even use?
The truth is that, when I sat down and weighed my options, and thought about what I was hoping to achieve, the answer quickly became obvious. Here’s a rough outline of that thought process.
Goal: I want to play more video games, in an effort to better relax in the evenings, and to be able to experience new and creative games that I’ve missed, especially ones developed by indie studios.
Why haven’t I been playing games as much lately:
- I’m almost never in front of a TV
- When I am in front of a TV, I don’t want to disturb my partner with loud video game sounds
- The (2017) Nintendo Switch screen is relatively low-quality (serious backlight bleed, color issues, blacks look gray, hard to see) and it’s just bad enough to annoy me
- The battery on my Switch leaves much to be desired after almost five years of ownership
- Lack of time
When first thinking about the goal here, I briefly considered buying an Xbox. To be honest, the main reason I considered that was because I wanted to play Psychonauts 2. I enjoyed the first one tremendously, and am still looking forward to playing through the sequel. But as I looked through the games available, I realized that that was literally the only new game I wanted to play on the Xbox.
When I began to look at game listings for other consoles, it became clear that the Nintendo Switch was the console that had almost all the titles I wanted to play. I tend to play more platforming and indie games, and they shine there. I’ve heard it referred to as an “indie darling,” and I would agree.
And then I suddenly had an epiphany: for the past decade, I never played games on a handheld because I lived at home alone, and was always in front of a TV. But now, my circumstances have changed, and I’m just not in front a of TV as much. There’s also a concern about sound. Living alone, I could blast my games at full volume, but living with my partner, I need to be courteous and wear headphones as much as possible.
But I do have periods of time in the mornings and evenings when, if I had a console with me, I could totally have time to play.
And then, as I got to searching more, I found that Nintendo had addressed my complaints, both with hardware and software fixes. First, Bluetooth headphones can now be paired with the Switch thanks to a software patch, so I can listen to games at home, in transit, or anywhere in public.
And, with a new OLED display, the colors are absolutely stunning, the display is larger, and the visual experience is just night-and-day better. It’s still a 720p display, but that resolution is plenty fine, especially when the screen is that wonderful to look at.
And of course, a fresh new battery means I can squeeze several hours out of it on a single charge.
I know that a lot of folks in my circles suggest a Steam Deck, but to be honest, I have almost no interest in that device. I have monkeyed around with Steam on my current and former laptops, but I always run into compatibility issues. I don’t want to have to even think about is this game going to be compatible, am I using the right version of Proton, or what strange Linux oddity is going to prevent me from playing now? I don’t want to have to think about any of the “software-y” things when I settle down for the day and play games. I just want to buy a game, know that my experience is going to be identical to the experience intended by developers because I’m using an exact match to the hardware they built and tested the game with, and not have to worry that everything is going to just work.
I also think they’re hilariously chunky and the touchpad is weird, but that’s purely subjective on my part.
So in the end, I decided to go with a device that can fit nicely into my current lifestyle, while being able to now deliver on an experience that I can enjoy without being bothered too much by a crappy display, or worrying that I’m disturbing someone else.
Hopefully, with this new console, I’ll be able to really dive in and experience all the amazing titles I’ve been missing out on for the past few years!

Plate is an important part of product production, and the use and maintenance of plate is also very important. It can directly affect the product effect and quality, so the correct specification plate must be used to ensure the processing quality. At present, there are two types of mainstream electronic component plates in the market: one is laser printing plate; the other is positive picture CTCP plate. The two versions have their own characteristics, so what is the difference between the two?
- Printing method
Laser printing plate: It is a way of irradiating an object with a beam of light to print the object on the ink layer. This method is suitable for small-area color printing as well as large-area color printing. It is a method of printing plates by irradiating a blue laser of a certain wavelength.
- Material Type
Both materials are inorganic materials. The material of the purple laser version is a high-purity ultraviolet light source, which can meet the requirements of continuous production for a long time. UV light can work continuously for more than 24 hours at high temperature. The material has good light transmittance and low power consumption, and is an ideal material for printing and processing. Yangtu CTCP plate material is an ordinary high-purity ultraviolet light source laser printing plate; its advantages are that it better retains the unique and stable performance of the laser equipment itself, and has good light transmittance, high output, and low power consumption. .
- Scope of use
Laser printing plate: various printing plates used for printing enterprise products. The production technical conditions of the two plates are exactly the same.
- Printing speed
Both versions are printed in 24 hours according to process requirements. The printing speed of the violet laser plate is the fastest, but as the machine speed increases, the thickness of the paper will increase accordingly. Usually, the faster the printing speed, the better.
- Environmentally friendly
Due to the environmental protection of the PCB plate itself, formaldehyde and benzene compounds in the PCB plate are usually limited to be stable in the environment. Therefore, it should not be considered as an environmentally unfriendly material. In fact, this is related to the development trend of PCB technology. Although many electronic products have adopted PCB at present, because the use of materials in PCB production is determined according to the principle of different occasions, these chemicals are generally not used in PCB plates. In addition, PCB needs to use a lot of solvents, which will increase the cost of the PCB factory.

Price listed is for 4 ounces of prestrung bead strands. This lot has a variety of strands of tigers tail with mostly glass, acrylic and metal beads. They average about 14'' but vary in length as well as the number of beads on each strand. The beads measure from 5mm to 15mm. These were meant to be linked together. The number of strands will vary from one lot to the next. The sample lot that was pulled had about 12 strands. We can not guarantee the number of strands or the number of beads, only the weight.

by Irene Hickman, D.O.
Depressed feelings and thoughts often arise from other lifetimes, but they can also originate in the childhood of the subject’s current life. The process of recall and healing is the same, both for traumas originating in childhood and for those involving other lifetimes. Even if the source of a trauma is not found in a current lifetime, review of childhood memories is often helpful as a springboard to recall similar traumas from other lifetimes. This review is especially useful in the case of subjects who in their waking consciousness object to the idea of exploring past lives. Because of the trepidation often expressed by such subjects, I avoid beginning with past-life exploration and ask only that they move back to a time of significance for helping them to understand themselves. Usually we begin by reviewing their early childhood experiences.
In exploration of childhood incidents, the time required to find significant information varies widely. Some subjects respond with rapidity but others may have to be led slowly and patiently to recognize and describe scenes that may be charged with emotional pain. The reluctant ones are often helped by memory techniques. If there seems to be an inability to find the requested information, it may be helpful to suggest that the subject is in a theater watching a film on the screen, or walking down an imaginary path, relating whatever is noticed along it.
In moving back from one scene to an earlier childhood experience, I usually suggest that the subject continue backward in time to an important happening in a certain time period, such as the fifth year or a specific holiday season. Sometimes I count from one to five, saying that at the count of five an important experience in a specific time period, such as at five years, will emerge. Sometimes I ask that a signal be given when the move has been completed, a nod of the head or a lifting of a finger. When the signal is given, or if I notice changes of expression that denote emotion, I will ask, “What’s happening?” This is a favorite question because it is totally non-leading and allows the subject complete freedom to say whatever is wished.
Regression to a Childhood Source to Relieve Later Distress
Mrs. C. R., a woman of 52, had had episodes of heavy gasping for breath for over 45 years. This frantic gasping would recur several times a year and would persist day and night until she became totally exhausted. In order to control these episodes she would be heavily sedated, sometimes for several days and often in a hospital setting. Some episodes even required general anesthesia. Such sedation or anesthesia helped to stop individual episodes but did not affect the frequency or the severity of the attacks. Her frustrated physician sent her to me saying, “If you can do anything for this woman I will be most grateful.”
History of the problem indicated that it had begun when she was seven years old. Her memory as reported in that first interview was that she had refused to go to school and had been constantly spanked until she thought of school as the lesser evil. Formerly she had taken a short cut through a gully, but on her reluctant return to school she opted to take the long way around, though she could not say why. Neither could she recall any event related to school or the gully that would account for the long-continued physical problem.
She responded well to hypnosis and after an initial hour of interview and training, she returned for a single hypnotic experience. I moved her back to age seven, asking her to relive any incident that might be connected with her symptom.
The subject describes a morning when she and her best friend Nancy take the shortcut through the gully on their way to school. Suddenly from behind a large bush a 15-year-old feeble-minded fourth-grader named John leaps out and grabs both girls. He nearly succeeds in raping C. R., but she escapes from him and runs until she drops in exhaustion, gasping for breath.
- R. had blocked out conscious memory of this rape attempt but the emotion had remained and was back of her unwillingness to go to school. It had also precipitated her gasping attacks over the many years.
During the first reliving of the near rape, which she described in the present tense, she screamed, cried, and struggled. Afterward I asked her to go through the experience again from the beginning, and this time the emotional outbursts were less extreme. She went through the reliving of the attack a total of eight times. Each time she was able to add details that she had left out during the previous tellings. Each repetition expended more of the emotion until in the eighth re-experiencing she described the incident in a calm matter-of-fact manner.
After each reliving of the incident I asked her if the fear was gone, and only after the eighth telling did she respond with a “yes.” I then awakened her, telling her that she would remember all that she had related and that henceforth she would be free of the fear. She smiled broadly and said, “I really feel different. I feel so much better. The pressure is gone. And to think that I carried that for 45 years and at such a cost!” The severe gasping episodes left her and did not return.
This case had involved countless hours of doctors’ time and thousands of dollars of medical and hospital care. Two hours of hypnotherapy were all that were required to relieve C. R.’s symptoms: the first hour for history and hypnosis training and the second for the actual therapy work. Not all patients respond so quickly. However, people with long-lasting and resistant problems can often be helped in a comparatively short time through the use of this non-directive hypnotherapy, saving much time and money and eliminating a vast amount of suffering.
Regression to Childhood as a Springboard for Contacting the Past-Life Source of a Problem
Justin Arnold, an intelligent professional person in his early thirties, functioned under a pall of chronic loneliness and depression and suffered from stomach ulcers. He was an especially good patient because his doubt about the value of hypnosis and his conviction that he could not be hypnotized led him to expect nothing, and therefore aroused minimal resistance. In spite of his doubt that there was anything about age regression that could help him, he quickly became a good hypnotic subject. He first explored various childhood incidents of loneliness and then regressed back into past lifetimes where he unearthed an earlier source of this pervasive dysphoric mood.
The progression from the investigation of childhood incidents to correlated past lives occurred easily and naturally and demonstrated the efficacy of this approach in a skeptical subject. After an induction in which he was helped to relax, he began the process of searching through his childhood. His first memory was of a Christmas when he was six years old when he saw himself standing at the blackboard in his school room with his favorite girl friend, Jean. The pleasant memory made his initiation into the regression process a comfortable one.
Therapist: Now I am going to count back one more year and you will be five. One…two…three…four…five…Now you’re five years old. Find a happy time and tell me about it.
Patient: I’m with my grandma.
Therapist: Tell me about your grandma.
Patient: She loves me, but I’m naughty.
Therapist: Let’s go back a little further and see what it is like when you are four years old. One…two…three…four…You are four. Tell me what you are doing now.
Patient: (Begins to cry). Nobody wants me.
Therapist: Why don’t they want you? If you talk about it you will feel better.
Patient: (Sobs deeply).
Therapist: It’s very hard for a little boy who’s just four when he feels this way. But tell me about it and you will feel better. Where is your daddy?
Interrogation brings out that his grandmother and father are gone and his mother doesn’t want him.
Therapist: Whom are you living with?
Patient: Lots of places.
Therapist: Are they good to you? (Justin continues to sob). Well, we’ll not talk about it now—some other time. Let’s go to when you are three. Go back until you are three years old. Tell me about it. Is it happier when you are three?
Therapist: Where are you living now?
Patient: New Mexico.
Therapist: Whom are you living with in New Mexico?
Patient: Grandma. We go to church.
Therapist: Now let’s go back to the time when you are two years old. Now you are two. Look around you and tell me what is happening.
Patient: It’s better.
At two he is living with both grandparents. His grandfather sings to him and plays the fiddle.
Therapist: That is pretty good, isn’t it? Now we will go back to one year—to the time you are one year old. Now you are one year old. Tell me exactly how you feel and what’s happening all around you. You will be able to speak about it as an adult, but you are actually living the experience as a baby one year old.
Patient: (Begins to cry, then to sob). I’m all alone.
Therapist: Where are you?
Patient: In a room. I’m locked in.
Therapist: Who locked you in?
Therapist: Do you know where your mother went when she locked you in?
Patient: No. I’m hungry, I’m on the floor. I’m crying.
Therapist: Have you been there long?
Patient: Uh huh.
Therapist: Now let’s go forward a little bit—until someone comes and unlocks the door. You will know who it is and what they do and say. (Pause) Who is that coming in?
Patient: My daddy. He picks me up. He loves me. He’s holding me.
Therapist: Now you feel better. Now we’re going back a little further to the time just before you were born. You are able to think about this as an adult, but you will be feeling everything just as you did when you originally went through it. As I count backward to zero you will be in the birth canal just about to be born. And you will know what it feels like. You will re-experience your birth, still thinking about it as an adult so that it does not upset you. One…zero…You are ready to be born. Tell me everything that is happening to you and whether you are being born head first or feet first.
Therapist: Now at the count of three the head will have been born and you will feel a lot better. One…two…three…Now the head is born. Tell me how you are feeling.
Therapist: You are able to hear everything that is being said and to know everything that is going on in the room. As the birth progresses you will tell me everything that is happening and everything that is being said in the room.
Patient: They’re talking, but I can’t hear.
Therapist: You’re going to be able to hear it a little clearer with the count of three. One…two…three…You are hearing more clearly now. What are they saying? Who is in the room besides you and your mother?
Patient: The doctor. He’s young, blond. Mother’s disappointed.
Therapist: Why is mother disappointed?
Patient: I’m a boy.
Therapist: Did you hear her say this?
Therapist: How do you know it?
Patient: She didn’t feed him.
Therapist: Didn’t feed who?
Patient: My brother. He died.
This is knowing a fact that occurred before the present body was conceived, as well as knowing it at the time of birth.
Therapist: You know this even though you are just a newborn baby?
At this point I wanted to explore why Justin chose this family and these parents. One might think that the soul would choose pleasant and happy situations if it has a choice as to what body it will occupy. But apparently the soul does not operate on the pleasure-pain principle. It seeks to solve its karmic problems and to work out its own perfection.
Therapist: Do you know why you came to this mother?
Therapist: Well, we can go back a little further—back to the time before birth, back to the time where you will know why you are coming to live this life. So go back in time until you have an awareness of the reason you are coming back into an earth experience again. You will know why you are coming back to this particular mother and father. You will know and you will be able to tell me. So go back through time to the time of this decision. Now you know why you came to these parents. Why did you come?
Patient: For my daddy.
Therapist: Had you known him before?
Therapist: Let us now go back to the time when you knew your daddy before. Your subconscious knows and it can search through your memory until it finds a time when you and your daddy were together before. When I reach the count of seven you will have found that time. One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…Look around you and tell me what is happening.
Patient: He’s my brother.
At this point all resistance to going back into past lifetimes has been dispelled. The material from the age regression has constituted a bridge across which Justin could pass easily into previous experiences.
Questioning elicits the information that he is living with his 17-year old brother Jerry in a log cabin in the United States in the 17th century. He is seven and struggling with arithmetic. Jerry is the one who is good to him.
Therapist: Let’s go back through time to see if there was another time when you and Jerry were together. Was there another time?
Patient: He’s a grown man.
Therapist: And you?
Patient: I’m grown, too. He’s in uniform—a soldier.
Therapist: Do you know him well?
Patient: He’s my sweetheart.
It is commonly believed that each soul must experience life on earth in both male and female bodies.
Therapist: Would you like to marry him?
Patient: Oh, yes!
As the young woman, Kathleen Morris, she does not realize her wish to marry her lover. He goes to war (the Civil War) and does not come back.
Therapist: Now we will go forward to the time when you have lived out that life as Kathleen and, just as in a dream, you will be able to know the cause of the death and how long the life lasted. Tell me what happens.
(Kathleen never marries but dies alone of old age).
Therapist: Now you are between lives. Tell me what is happening, how you feel, and what your thoughts are.
Patient: It’s better. I saw him.
Therapist: Your sweetheart?
Patient: (Joyfully) Yes.
Therapist: Now you are going forward to the time when you and Jerry were brothers, then into your present life when he is your father. As I count to ten you will come forward all the way to the present. One…two…three…four…five… six…seven…eight…nine…ten. You may wake up feeling very good. Wake up!…How do you feel?
Patient: Wonderful. I feel different. What happened? (Listens to the tape of the session). So that’s why I have always felt so alone. I’ve been alone for many lives.
Therapist: That was a longtime ago. Now that you have reviewed this, you can let go of that pattern and enjoy your life more. You are not alone now.
Justin’s ulcers healed and did not recur. He was able to move out and become more sociable and within a year he was engaged to be married. Both his health and his mood have continued to improve.
Sympathetic exploration of childhood incidents had allowed Justin to investigate the distress he had felt during his childhood years, a distress that stemmed from his rejection at birth. Then, as he strove to determine why he had chosen this particular set of parents, he perceived a bonding with his father. This bonding in turn acted as an emotional bridge by which he could regress into pertinent past lifetimes, where he could then retrieve memories of the various relationships he had experienced with his father, and thus comprehend the broader pattern of his loneliness. Justin’s recognition of a long relationship with his father proved to be healing for him, and the increased perspective resulting from this past-life recall made possible a re-evaluation of Justin’s loneliness, thus freeing him for more positive life experiences.
Inclusion of incidents from childhood that relate to the presenting symptom serve several purposes. They are often healing in themselves and sometimes they encapsulate the source of the difficulty. More often such incidents are replays of old patterns, and these emotional experiences of childhood act as an effective bridge into past-life episodes of the same patterns—and hopefully lead to their origin. Reliving of traumas, both from childhood and from past lifetimes, leads to increased perspective and a release of disturbing stored-up feelings.

Katana pipeline deployment: key considerations, benefits and best practice
To meet and exceed the demands of today’s rapid production cycles—often accelerated by an increasing appetite for episodic content—artists need tools that can break barriers to ensure their throughput remains sky-high.
This has clear ROI advantages for visual effects and animation studios, wherein ROI becomes synonymous with efficiency. And even though efficiency may mean one thing to a producer, and another to an artist, the underlying principle remains the same: to be able to do one’s job better.
This same principle is what drives the team behind Katana’s ongoing development here at Foundry. Recently released Katana 4.0 stands as a shining example; its pioneering new features like Artist-focused Lighting Tools, Multiple Simultaneous Renders, and Networked Interactive Rendering ensure that look development and lighting artists working in Katana can complete more high quality work faster than any other tool. The sheer power of Katana means that it can handle huge scenes without the help of additional resources. Load times for a Katana project file are measured in seconds, not minutes.
For artists, efficiency in this sense boils down to more creative freedom. It means that they’re given more time to fully explore the work that they’ve signed up to do—whether that be look development or lighting—and can spend more time completing tasks they love. They’re not managing crazy load times or ironing out technical glitches. They’re spending their time being creative.
For studios, a pipeline with Katana naturally leads to an ideal-sized team of the best artists, with heightened satisfaction and productivity levels. But also, with Katana in their pipeline, it’s likely that these same studios will experience longevity gains, whereby Katana’s ongoing development consistently provides new ways for studios to work faster and more efficiently. Katana doesn’t stagnate in a pipeline—it dynamically flows and adapts along with the studio, supported by features like Katana 4.0’s Foresight Rendering and Artist-focused Lighting Tools to level up a pipeline .
With all that being said, adopting Katana for look development and lighting may seem more of a pipe dream than a reality for most studios, as technical and resource barriers make its integration a daunting prospect. But it doesn’t have to be.
In this article, we take a real-world approach to the hows, whats and whys of a successful Katana pipeline integration. We’ll talk through practical considerations—such as who needs to be involved, and how much time needs to be invested for those looking to deploy Katana in their pipeline—and what needs to happen to make the efficiency gains highlighted above become a reality for your studio.
Who needs to be involved?
Pertinent questions any studio should ask themselves when beginning the process of Katana pipeline adoption include: who will spend the most time in it? Who will need to learn the most? And who needs to just be aware?
For context, artists who only have to work in a Katana pipeline can be trained in a day, with most people becoming very comfortable navigating the tool in their first week. However staff that need to make pipeline choices and teach others will need a little more time to get up to speed, especially if they’re new to Katana.
With this in mind, who are the key players, or the ‘tip of your spear’, who need to understand the most?
Crucially, pipeline developers and technical directors will serve as the lifeblood of getting Katana set up in your pipeline, and should be involved immediately in the integration process. Meanwhile, CG supervisors also need to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of a Katana integration, as they will serve as the bridge to your clients, creative stakeholders and internal teams.
Department supervisors and leads—specifically, look development and lighting—need to also buy into Katana, along with supervisors from other departments including modeling, texturing, and compositing as these all overlap with Katana’s capabilities. For example, the modeling department needs to know what hooks they’re going to have to provide in order to facilitate look development in Katana to its greatest capacity.
Next, there needs to be a group of people that will be trained in Katana. This typically comprises of look development and/or lighting artists, effects artists, render wranglers and so on. This group needs to understand how to work in the software. They may not necessarily have a say in how the pipeline is set up, but they need to know what’s expected of them, what choices have been made, and why.
How do they pull in the material? Where do they publish it to? How does Katana typically work with another tool they’re using? Once these sorts of questions have been answered, artists working in Katana can be up and running in a matter of days, and some may even contribute shots on day one. They have the template already set up, they’ve been told which nodes and tools to use, and they can get underway immediately once Katana is set up and plumbed into a pipeline.
Finally, there are those involved that don’t need to know the inner workings of Katana, but nonetheless have a strong impact on how successful Katana can be as part of your pipeline. These include producers and production management, your internal creative team, and possibly even your clients—having enough inventory turnover from clients to you means that you can have enough content in your pipeline to really take advantage of the benefits of Katana.
Circling back to producers and production managers, a key point to note is that if staff in these roles are not guiding the flow of a project through departments in a way that can take advantage of the opportunities provided by Katana, then the whole pipeline misses out on some potential efficiency gains. Questions to ask include: how many people do you need on your lighting team? What is their inventory flow from upstream departments? Working with department supervisors and maintaining scheduling best practice is crucial to fully realising the potential of Katana in your pipeline. It’s a common theme that we hear about studios who used a lot less staff than expected even on their first show.
How should you prepare your pipeline?
We’ve talked people—now let’s talk pipelines.
In terms of timings, the length of time it takes to get Katana set up in a pipeline depends on how complex the existing pipeline is and what needs to be changed. Some studios have produced their first work within the first month of adopting Katana; others have taken several months to get to this stage.
Having the ‘ideal’ pipeline for transitioning to Katana will make the whole process quicker and easier. Typically, this is a pipeline that uses geometry caches to feed the lighting pipeline, along with rich metadata and tagging to communicate more information about what render layers you expect an asset to go into, what shaders get applied to it, and so on.
The ideal pipeline also has shot production organized in hierarchies to facilitate turning over large chunks of inventory that allow artists to build momentum—something Katana is extremely adept at handling. This involves thinking in terms of the hand off between departments—what shots might they need first?—and also deftly managing the inventory delivery from upstream to downstream departments, and vice versa.
Studios with the most ground to cover in order to get their pipeline Katana-ready include those who don’t yet do geometry caching, instead staying within the closed ecosystem of their specific DCC and sharing its native file format. Universal Scene Description (USD) comes in particularly handy as a solution to this, providing a way to robustly and scalably interchange and augment arbitrary 3D scenes composed of many different assets.
USD files cover the description of the actual layout of a scene, whilst UsdShade covers look development through masterful layering of metadata., If you are not ready to adopt USD, Katana has its own separate look development manifest file—called the Katana Look File—to facilitate this.
Stepping back slightly, studios that don’t make use of geometry caching, USD, and don’t think in terms of sequence based shot hierarchies will have to think harder about the changes that need to be made in order to adopt Katana. The good news is that you don’t have to think about your entire pipeline; there are only really two places in the pipeline that you’re looking to change and insert Katana—look development and lighting.
In the case of the former, Katana kicks in after you've finished painting rough textures and shaders, and when you’re instead beginning more refined three-dimensional look development.
In regards to lighting, shot production takes place in Katana, using Look Files or USD Shade data that can be stashed into your asset management system to be traded back and forth between look development and lighting teams for seamless creative collaboration between the two.
Whilst this is a very simplified view of these two workflows and how they interact, we nonetheless hope that it makes the prospect of integrating Katana that little less daunting, as there are only two main parts of your pipeline you’ll need to focus your attention on.
Hopefully, this article gives you a more well-rounded picture of the realities and advantages of integrating Katana into your pipeline. For a deeper dive into the above, watch Jordan Thistlewood, Director of Product—Pre-production, LookDev and Lighting, cover everything you need to know in our Katana Deployment Essentials webinar.

Brian Ortega vs Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 266 will be on course for ‘The Fight of the Year’
The two featherweight behemoths put on a fight for the ages, and what is regarded by many as the greatest featherweight fight of all time.
Both the fighters got off to a brilliant start in the first round. However, it was the champ, Volkanovski, who began upping the ante as the rounds progressed.
The third round, provided one of the greatest spectacles witnessed in modern MMA history. Ortega, a well-known jiu-jitsu black belt holder, threw everything into the fight, kitchen sink included.
He almost submitted Volkanovski with a guillotine. ‘The Great’ who looked like he was about to tap, somehow wriggled through.
However, he was soon caught with a triangle from Ortega. Another spectacular ‘Houdini’ act followed.
After recovering, Volkanovski grounded and pounded Ortega as though nothing had happened.
That was when Volkanovski gained the upper hand. From there, he looked the stronger man.
But, ‘T-City’ never gave up. He caught Volk with another submission hold in the fourth round too, only for the Aussie to escape yet again.
In the end, Volkanovski emerged victorious, thereby successfully defending his featherweight title.
Shattered orbital bones – don’t care. Almost blinded – don’t care. Bloodied face and nose- don’t care. Ortega lost the match, but won the hearts of everyone inside the T-Mobile Arena.
Dustin Poirier in awe of Brian Ortega
UFC’s number one ranked lightweight contender Dustin Poirier was in awe of what he had witnessed.
Congratulating both the fighters, Poirier hailed Brian Ortega for the heart of a champion he showed.
Poirier’s Tweet read:
“He might not be leaving with the belt but Ortega showed a champions heart tonight. Congratulations to both guys on a great fight!”

November 1911. Lady Emily Hardcastle is celebrating her birthday by seeing a play at the Duke’s Theatre in Bristol with her maid and confidante, the inimitable Flo. Act One is a triumph. Then Act Two opens with a body on stage―a real one. One of the cast has been brutally murdered during the interval.
When other matters get in the way of Inspector Sunderland overseeing the case himself, he asks the ever-resourceful Lady H to keep a watchful eye on the suspects―and his police colleagues. Rustling up some cunning disguises of their own, she and Flo are soon in deep cover among the cast and crew, pulling back the curtain on some shocking secrets and rivalries…
The problem is, everyone seems to have a motive, and everyone seems to have an alibi…In this locked-room mystery in which nothing is as it seems, the amateur sleuths need to put on the performances of their lives if they’re to stand a chance of shining a spotlight on the truth…

As COVID-19 cases rise in the city, some testing centers are seeing long lines reminiscent of last winter’s surge.
The demand for testing decreased over the year as more people got vaccinated, but that’s changed as the delta variant has quickly become dominant — currently at 83% of tested cases, according to the city health department.
“We had a precipitous drop for most of this year,” said Councilman Mark Levine, who is chair of the council's Committee on Health, and the Democratic nominee for Manhattan Borough president. “And in the last month, we've seen about a 50% increase in the number of tests done, which is really important, because testing still is a key strategy.”
It’s led to long wait times and lines outside of CityMD sites in parts of the city, including Boerum Hill and Park Slope in Brooklyn. New cases are currently averaging about 1,500 a day, according to city data. That’s a big contrast from earlier in the summer when the number of new cases was around 200 a day.
Due to the highly infectious nature of the delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that vaccinated people wear masks while indoors in certain settings and that they get tested within three to five days of close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
Officials like Levine view increased testing as the right move and key to tackling the virus.
“But I'm also concerned that our testing capacity actually has shrunk since the big winter surge and you're seeing that in long lines and wait times in places like CityMD,” he said. “It's now difficult to get an appointment at rapid COVID test centers and I've heard anecdotes that people have been frustrated when they've waited an hour at a CityMD and just gone home.”
To accommodate the increased demand for testing, CityMD announced last week that they would be resuming their virtual line system on Monday as well as adjusting patient registration hours.
“Over the past several weeks, we have seen a significant jump in COVID-related walk-in visits and some test results are taking longer than normal,” according to Joy Lee-Calio, a CityMD spokesperson via email. “As we did last fall when COVID-related demand spiked, we are working on ways to address the surge in demand, including adjusting hours and resuming our virtual line system at all CityMD locations. This will allow us to safely accommodate the increase in patient visits for typical urgent care needs and COVID-19 testing.”
But the key to expanding access isn’t necessarily found in just increasing the number of testing sites, according to experts. It’s about eliminating as many barriers as possible, like making sure accurate information is being disseminated and that open testing sites are placed in the appropriate locations.
“There are populations that may not live near a testing site,” said Dr. Anna Bershteyn, assistant professor in the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone. “They may not have easy access to transportation. They will be very short on time, probably working multiple jobs and caring for kids. In public housing, we see lower testing rates, probably because there are barriers there so [we need to be] doing everything possible to lower those barriers.”
It’s why at-home testing is considered by experts to be a hugely important part of the solution.
At-home testing in New York City was made available in select ZIP codes in March and expanded citywide in April, according to city Health + Hospitals spokesperson Adam Shrier.
“To date, the at-home testing program has administered over 25,000 tests to over 11,000 households, with a positivity rate among close contacts of 14%,” said Shrier via email.
But the availability of this program needs to reach a lot more people and not just the currently eligible groups, Levine said.
“What's so infuriating is that we expected that by now rapid antigen tests would be incredibly easy to access that people could do it at home and it's not clear to me why that hasn't materialized,” he said. “But I do feel it's holding us back now and that we need to solve this problem so we don't face another bottleneck into the fall.”
The city operates 75 HHC-run testing sites, which include brick and mortar locations, mobile trucks and self-swab teams, and are able to adjust certain locations as needed, according to Shrier.
“We are able to scale our mobile fleet up or down based on demand and have additional capacity if needed to deploy,” he said.
But with the current iteration of the virus threatening the city’s reopening, there is still a significant gap to ensure testing becomes widespread.
“The virus is circulating in the city and we need testing to stop it,” Levine said.

“2020 marks the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, widely regarded as Scotland’s most iconic document; probably the first declaration in medieval Europe to promote the idea that people are above Kings, that a nation is its people and that any nation has the right to self determination.
Written in 1320, its evocative sentiments about freedom and independence have given it special distinction, not just in Scotland, but around the world.
But the coronavirus has effectively cancelled all live celebrations of the event in Arbroath and across Scotland, and sadly no UK broadcasters have scheduled any significant TV coverage, though Billy Kay has produced a three-part series for Radio Scotland….”

The Declaration of Arbroath is a declaration of Scottish independence, made in 1320. It is in the form of a letter in Latin submitted to Pope John XXII, dated 6 April 1320, intended to confirm Scotland’s status as an independent, sovereign state.
Generally believed to have been written in the Arbroath Abbey by Bernard of Kilwinning, then Chancellor of Scotland and Abbot of Arbroath, and sealed by fifty-one magnates and nobles, the letter is the sole survivor of three created at the time. The others were a letter from the King of Scots, Robert I, and a letter from four Scottish bishops which all made similar points.

Емельян Пугачев (1742 — 21 гыйнвар 1775) — Дон казагы, 1773-1775 еллар Пугачев явы юлбашчысы. Үзләрен хатыны Екатерина II оештырган сарай фетнәсендә үтерелгән, ир-ат варислар калдырмаган, могъҗизалы рәвештә коткарылган Петр III патшага салышкан шул заман шәхесләренең иң уңышлысы.
Тәрҗемәи хәл[үзгәртү | вики-текстны үзгәртү]
1763-67 елларда туган авылында хезмәт үти. 1764 елда кызы, 1768 елда улы туа. Дегет, ятьмә ише товарларны ерак җирдән очсыз хакка алып, Дон буена кайткач аларны кыйммәткә сатарга ният корган Пугачев, үзе шикелле үк елгыр казак белән бергә, Кама елгасына кадәр килеп җитә. Польша җиренә качкан урыс старовер-крестьяннарын эзләтүдә катнаша.
Көнгер өязенә кадәр барып китәргә ниятлиләр. Әмма бу чорда бөтен Кама буен Уралдагы заводларга йөреп эшләүдән баш тарткан крестьяннар фетнәсе чолгап алган була. "Алып сатарлар"ның юлы уңмый hәм алар Дон буена буш кул белән генә кайтып китә.
1769 елда Емельян урыс-төрек сугышы башлануга ике ел буена шунда катнаша. Авырып китү сәбәпле 1771 елда туган җиренә – Дон елгасы буендагы Зимовейская станицасына кайтып төшкән хорунжий /кече офицер/ Пугачевны казакларның югары хакимият вәкилләре ат урлауда hәм Кубаньга качарга җыенуда гаеплиләр. Пугачев, чыннан да, Терек елгасы буена качып китәргә омтылыш ясый. Хакимият вәкилләре аны шуның өчен кулга алалар. Ләкин Пугачев ике-өч мәртәбә алар кулыннан качып котыла hәм бай казакларның үзен иректә калдырмаячагын аңлагач, бөтенләй Польша җиренә китәргә ниятли.
Польшага киткән качакларны патшабикә Екатерина II тарафыннан гафу итү турында указ чыгарылуга, Пугачев Добрян форпостында паспорт ала. Польшадан Русиягә чыккан качакларны Екатерина Идел аръягында, Ыргыз елгасы буенда нигезләнергә чакыра. Казан губернасына килә. Үзе тотып йөргән староверларны Ырынбур губернасына күчерелүләрен белеп, Емельян башта шунда барып чыга, аннары паспорт алып, 1772 елның көзендә Ырынбур губернасындагы Мәчетле бистәдә оялый.
Пугачев утлар-сулар кичеп йөргән чакта Русия төрле сәер хәбәрләр белән тула. Әле Царицын каласында, әле Воронеж өлкәсендә яңа "падишаhлар" пәйда була. Аларның hәркайсы үзен хыянәтче Екатерина тарафыннан тәхеттән куылган Петр Федорович, дип игълан итә. Гәрчә чын Петр патша 1762 елның 5 июлендә Екатерина тарафдары Алексей Орлов тарафыннан буып үтерелгән булса да, Богомолов, Рябов, Асланбеков, Евдокимов кебек батырлар үзләрен явыз патшабикә кулыннан очраклы рәвештә качып котылган "падишаh" итеп танытырга тели. Тик аларның "тантанасы" озак дәвам итми. Шулай да, Рәсәйне иңеннән-буена кадәр йөреп чыккан Пугачев аларның фаҗигале язмышы турында да, Петр III хакында да ишетеп кала hәм бу хәбәрләрнең hәммәсен мыегына чорный бара.
Идел аръягына чыгып, Сембер провинциясенә аяк баскач, Пугачев әүвәл Малыковка авылында[1] hәм Кызыл мәчет бистәсендә[2] туктала. Бу төбәктә яшәгән крестьяннарның hәм Җаек казакларының тормышы, кайгылары белән кызыксына.
Җаек казаклары бу вакытта бик авыр хәлгә кала. 1772 елның январында комсыз старшина hәм атаманнарның рәхимсез талавына каршы күтәрелгән казакларның фетнәсен бастыру өчен патша хөкүмәте Җаек шәhәрчегенә (хәзерге Уральск) генерал фон Траубенберг командалыгындагы кораллы отряд юллый. Баш имәс казаклар беренче бәрелеш вакытында генералның үзен дә, хөкүмәткә сатылган атаман Петр Тамбовцевны, Яков Колпаков, Суетин, Федор Митрясов, Иван hәм Семен Тамбовцев кебек старшиналарны юк итәләр. Фетнәне бастыру өчен җибәрелгән отряд та, бай старшиналар да кулга алына, шәhәрдә ярлы казаклар тантанасы башлана. Ләкин патша хөкүмәте февраль аенда ук казакларга каршы генерал-майор Ф. Фрейман командалыгындагы яңа гаскәр юллый. Июнь башында Фрейман Җаек шәhәрчегенә килеп җитә hәм казаклар гаскәрен куып тарата. Йөзләгән казак кулга алына, төрмәләргә ябыла. Җәлладлар 47 кешене асып, 3 казакның башын өзеп, 12 кешене кисәкләргә чапкалап үтерәләр[3]. Дистәләгән казакны мәйданнарда камчылар белән кыйныйлар. Бик күп кеше, далага качып кына, җәзалаудан котылып кала. Казакларга 36756 сум штраф салына.
Казакларның аяныч хәле турында ишетүгә үк, Пугачев сәүдәгәр сыйфатында Җаек шәhәрчегенә ашыга. 22 ноябрь көнне ул Денис Пьянов дигән казак йортына килеп төшә. Бер атна чамасы базар hәм урамнарда йөргәннән соң, Пугачев казакларның барча михнәтләрен дә, ниятләрен дә аңлап ала.
15 августта Емельян Җаек шәhәрчегеннән 60 чакрымдагы, Таловая дигән елга буена урнашкан юлханәгә килеп җитә. Юлханә хуҗасы Степан Оболяев белән ул әле 1772 елның ноябрь аендагы "визиты" вакытында ук танышкан була. Бу юлы, мунчага баргач, Пугачев инде Оболяев каршында да үзенең "падишаh" Петр III икәнлеген "ачып сала".
Пугачев сугышы[үзгәртү | вики-текстны үзгәртү]
1773 елның көзендә Җаек казаклары арасында үзен Петр I патшаның оныгы — Петр III дип таныткан бер кеше килеп чыга. Чынлыкта исә ул Дон казагы Емельян Пугачев була. Ул халыкны көрәшкә чакыра. «Мин сезгә җирләрегезне, суыгызны, урман-болыннарыгызны кайтарып бирермен, барыгыз да иреккә чыгарсыз», дип манифестлар, өндәмә хатлар язып, авылларга тарата.
Урал һәм Идел буенда яшәгән хезмәт иясе халкы: урыслар, татарлар, башкортлар, чирмешләр, чуашлар, арлар, төркем-төркем булып, Пугачев армиясенә агыла. Җаек елгасыннан алып Ырынбур крепостена кадәр булган җирләрдә крестьяннар сугышы башлана. Баш күтәрүчеләр Ырынбур һәм Җаек крепостьларын камап алалар. Урал заводларының крепостной эшчеләре дә фетнәчеләр ягына чыга. Алар Пугачев армиясен туплар һәм мылтыклар белән тәэмин итеп торалар.
Хәзерге Татарстан җирләрендә крестьяннар хәрәкәте 1773 елның октябрь — ноябрь айларында җәелеп китә. Казан — Арча тирәләрендә Мәсәгут Гомәров җитәкчелегендәге зур бер отряд хәрәкәт итә. Бөгелмә төбәге тулысынча диярлек баш күтәрүчеләр кулында була. Минзәлә крепостен Каранай Муратов җитәкчелегендәге 10 мең кешелек фетнәчеләр отряды дүрт ай буена камалышта тота. Берничә тапкыр штурмлап та карыйлар, әмма ала алмыйлар. Зәй крепосте исә баш күтәрүчеләргә сугышсыз-нисез бирелергә мәҗбүр була.
Пугачев гаскәре 1774 елның 29 июнендә Әгерҗегә килеп җитә. Крестьяннар сугышы моңарчы күрелмәгән көч белән дөрләп китә. Әгерҗе халкы Пугачевны «үзебезнең гадел патша Петр Федорович» дип хөрмәтләп каршы ала. Мәйданның бер ягына Пугачев армиясенә кушылырга килгән крестьяннар тезелеп баса, икенче ягына тиз генә дар агачы ясап куялар. Гади халыкның күрсәтүе белән кулга алынган комсыз байларны Пугачев астырып үтертә. Крестьяннар үзләренең изүчеләреннән шулай үч алганнар.
Әгерҗедән Пугачев армиясе Алабуга, Мамадыш, Арча аркылы Казанга юл тоткан. Крестьяннарга ул, Казанны алгач, Мәскәүгә китәбез, тәхетне алып, бөтен Русиядә гадел патшалык урнаштырырбыз, дип вәгъдәләр биргән. Болгар-татарларга үз диннәрен тотарга, милли гореф-гадәтләре белән яшәргә хокук вәгъдә иткән. «Алпавыт һәм башка изүчеләрне кырып бетерегез, үзегез теләгәнчә иректә яшәгез»,— дип чакырып.[4]
Восстаниенең беренче көнендә үк манифестлар һәм указлар татар телендә тәрҗемә ителә. Восстание чорында татар теле чын мәгънәсендә милләтара аралашу чарасына әверелә. Сәгыйть бистәсендә беренче татар полкы оештырыла. Пугачевның төп көчләре районнарны басып алалар. Сугышның беренче айларыда Муса Мостафин отряды (Бөгелмәдән көньякка таба), Каранай Моратов отряды (Минзәлә районы) кебек эре отрядлар актив хәрәкәт итә.
Татарча язган өндәмәләр Урта Идел халыкларының Пугачев армиясенә күпләп кушылуына сәбәп булган. Һәр җирдә халык аны, кадерле кунак кебек, ипи-тоз белән каршы алган.
1774 елның 12 июлендә Пугачевның 20 меңлек гаскәре Казанга керә. Кремльне тупка тота башлыйлар. Бөтен яктан туктаусыз мылтык аткан тавышлар ишетелеп тора. Кремль эченә яшеренгән хөкүмәт гаскәрләре фетнәчеләргә каршы ут ачалар. Шулвакыт шәһәр төрле яктан яна башлый. Крестьяннар һәм аларга кушылган шәһәр халкы байлар яшәгән йортларны көл-күмер итәләр. 2 меңнән артык йорт, 800 ләп кибет, 30 лап чиркәү һәм башка төрле биналар янып юкка чыга. Ләкин ут-төтен эчендә кремльне штурмлау мәмкин булмый. Кичкә таба Пугачев гаскәрен шәһәрдән чыгарырга мәҗбүр була. Шәһәрдән алынмыйча калган кирмән, Постау бистәсе һәм Татар бистәсе генә исән кала. Соңгылары тоташ терәлеп диярлек агач йортлардан торалар, ләкин Пугачевчлар, аларда яшәгән халыкның үзләренә теләктәш булу сәбәпле тимиләр.
Кич алар полковник Михельсон командалыгындагы хөкүмәт отрядлары белән кара-каршы очрашалар. Канкойгыч сугышлар берничә көн дәвам итә. Баш күтәрүчеләр җиңеләләр. Пугачев үзенең армиясе белән Казан яныннан Иделгә таба качып китә.
Пугачев Татарстан җирләрендә, бигрәк тә Казанда булган көннәрдә урыслар һәм татарлар, башкортлар, чирмешләр һәм чуашлар үзләренең изүчеләренә каршы иңгә-иң торып сугышканнар. Бу көрәштә крестьяннарның сыйнфый бердәмлеге ныгыган. Алар арасыннан Бәхтияр Канкаев, Мәсәгут Гомәров, Каранай Муратов, Муса Мостафин, Әбҗәлил Сөләйманов, Рахманкол Дуслиев кебек чын халык геройлары үсеп чыга. Екатерина II баш күтәрүчеләргә каршы зур гаскәр җибәрә. Царицын шәһәреннән ерак түгел бер урында Пугачев патша гаскәрләре тарафыннан җиңелә. Аны тотып алалар, богауланган хәлдә тимер читлеккә ябып, Мәскәүгә китерәләр һәм җәзалап үтерәләр.
Тиздән Пугачев "җинаятьләр"ен Екатерина тарафыннан оештырылган "законлы тикшерү" башлана. Яу башында ук Пугачевның көрәштәшләренә әверелгән Зарубин-Чика, Падуров, Закладнов, Горшков, Караваев, Тимофей Мясников, Василий Плотников, Караваев, Иван Почиталин кебек Җаек казаклары, юлбашчыны кулга алып карательләргә тапшырган хыянәтчеләр, "падишаh"ның беренче hәм "икенче" хатыннары Софья белән Устинья, балалары Трофим, Христина, Аграфена, шулай ук Вәлит Торнов, Астафий Долгополов, И. Мамаев, Илья Аристов, хыянәтче дворян офицеры Михаил Шванович, татар каhарманнары Канзафар Усаев, Каранай Моратов hәм Идеркәй Мәхмүтов - барлыгы 40-ка якын кеше - "хакыйкатьне ачыклауда ярдәм итү өчен", Мәскәүгә китерелә. 18 ноябрьдән алып 5 декабрьгә кадәр аларның hәркайсы тикшерүчеләр каршында Пугачев белән очраша, күрсәтмәләр бирә. 19 декабрьдә "тикшерү" тәмамлана. Генераль-прокурор А. Вяземский, генераллар П. Панин, А. Глебов, М. Мартынов, П. Потемкин, 10 сенатор, тагын әллә никадәрле графлар, кенәзләр катнашында 29-31 декабрьләрдә Мәскәү Кремленың тәхет залында /!/ суд үткәрелә. 1775 елның 9 январенда хөкем карары игълан ителә.
10 гыйнвар көнне хакимият вәкилләре обыватель hәм байларны Мәскәү каласының Сазлы /Болотная/ мәйданына җыя. Дар агачлары hәм җәзалау мәйданчыклары инде әзер була. Көчле каравыл сагы астында мәйданга Пугачевны hәм аның көрәштәшләрен алып киләләр. "Законлы" хөкем карарын игълан иткәннән соң җәзалау башлана. Пугачевның башын чабып өзәләр hәм биек колга өстенә кадап куялар. Гәүдәсен 4 кисәккә чабып Мәскәүнең төрле почмагына илтеп яндыралар. "Пугачевны тотып китерәм", дип Екатерина сөяркәсе генерал Г. Орловны алдаган Афанасий Перфильев та кисәкләргә чапкалап үтерелә. Гаепләрен танымаган hәм баш имәгән Максим Шигаев, 1774 елның 12 июлендә Казан төрмәсеннән азат ителгәч янә "падишаh"ка ияргән Вәлит Торнов, 1767 елгы Уложение комиссиясе депутаты буларак "кагылгысыз кеше" дәрәҗәсен алган, әмма "зыялы hәм гадел" Екатеринаның "законлы" карары буенча үлемгә дучар ителгән Тимофей Падуров дарга асыла. Үлемгә хөкем ителгән Зарубин-Чика шушы җәзалауларны карап торганнан соң Уфага озатыла hәм 24 февраль көнне аның да гомере киселә.

California Divorce What To Do If Your Default Is Rejected
Today we are talking about the request to enter default and some issues and ideas of how to get things moving forward for you with your divorce in terms of your request to enter default.
Couple of things, first of all I want to talk to you about the default specifically and when you can submit it.
The request to enter default is used when the other party is not going to participate either intentionally, because they don’t want to or you can’t get a hold of them or something like that.
What you do is you have to wait thirty days after that party has been served, I would actually go even thirty one, thirty two days just to be careful and you can submit that request to enter default document to the court and it will take a few weeks and eventually the clerk will approve it if you’ve done everything else right.
They’ll approve the request to enter default which will then allow you to move forward with your divorce without the other party.
One thing we’ve been seeing a lot of lately is people filling out all their forms at once. These are people that aren’t using our service and they’re getting their default rejected and here’s why.
Some forms aren’t filed quickly with the court, like when you go file your summons and petitions when you filed for divorce. That was filed relatively quickly. You went to the clerk, they stamped the forms, and it was filed.
The request to enter default works differently. If you mailed it in or if you take it to the clerk, that’s not something that they’re going to look at and stamp and get back to you right away.
It will be taken under submission, meaning, they’re going to give it to probably the clerk in the court room, they have to pull your file and make sure proper procedure has been met up to that point.
So, it can sit on their desk for weeks, maybe even a month or two months. We’ve had some take three months.
So, what they’re going to look at, they don’t know when they actually got that document received, they’re going to look at the date that you put on your request to enter default.
If you fill that form out earlier and that’s fine. You can. Just don’t date it, make sure the date on that request to enter default is thirty days or thirty one or forty days after the other person was served, your spouse was served.
Because of they get that request to enter default and they review it and let’s say it’s December 1st and you filed on November 1st and you turn that paperwork in even any time after that thirty days but you dated it any time before the thirty days have elapsed. Then they’re going to reject it.
Basically what I’m saying is. I think I’m going off on a tangent here. Don’t date that form within that thirty day period. Date it thirty days after because even if you submitted it six months down the road.
They’re going to look at the date on your form and say, they did this too soon and they’re going to reject your request to enter default.
Now, on that note as well. If you’re going to strategically default the other party, and we do this a lot of times and we say there’s no property, there’s no assets, no debts, it’s a very simple case.
There’s no reason to even involve the other party. Let’s get them served and let’s just finish this up on our own because we really have nothing to divide so what’s the point of having them involved. So that’s much easier to do.
Submit the default with the judgment. You don’t have to submit the default, wait months on in, get the default approved and then submit the judgment. When you are going to default someone strategically, submit the default with all your judgment forms. That way it’ll be treated as a hybrid or a default without agreement and they’ll all understand it’s all right there.
Here’s the request to enter default, here’s the judgment and they can probably get it all approved at the same time even though the six months hasn’t passed.
Give me a call if you have questions on that. I’d be happy to discuss that. I’m sure it’s on one of our videos. Of course we are a paid service.
If you’d like to use our service to help you finish up your divorce or even start it if you’ve come across this video. We’ll be happy to help you.

William Augustus Muhlenberg, Priest, 1877
Open the eyes of your church, O Lord, to the plight of the poor and neglected, the homeless and destitute, the old and the sick, the lonely and those who have none to care for them. Give to us the vision and compassion with which you so richly endowed your servant William Augustus Muhlenberg, that we may labor tirelessly to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
William A. Muhlenberg was born in Philadelphia on 16 September 1796, to a distinguished German Lutheran family. Attracted to the Episcopal Church by its use of English, he was ordained in 1817. He was active in promoting the Sunday School movement, and concerned that the Church should minister to all social groups. He wrote hymns and compiled hymnals, greatly expanding the range of music in Episcopal churches. In 1828 he founded, and for twenty years headed, Flushing Institute (later St Paul's College), a boys' school in Flushing, New York. There he made extensive use of music, flowers, vestments, and an emphasis on the Church year and on sacramental worship, with the weekly reception of the sacrament of Holy Communion, while at the same time preaching with great force and conviction the Reformation doctrines of grace and of justification by faith. Out of his ministry came inspiration for the establishment of Church schools and hospitals, and an outreach to the poor. In 1846 he founded the Church of the Holy Communion in New York City, with a parish school, a parish unemployment fund, and trips to the country for poor city children. He called himself an "Evangelical Catholic," and by his firm stand for Evangelical Faith, Apostolic Order, and Corporal Works of Mercy, he spoke to all parties in the Church while belonging to none. As one writer has said, "There was not a significant area of the Church's life, during his ministry, that he did not elevate and strengthen by the pureness of his life and the vigor of his consecrated imagination."

This issue, I want to talk about HUMILITY. What I have learned in life is that it takes a lot of courage to admit that you made a mistake. Have you wronged your friend or someone? Galit ba siya sa yo dahil sinaktan mo siya? Obviously, if you did something bad to someone, talagang magagalit siya sa yo. Ikaw naman, napakataas ng pulok mo. Yung pride mo, iyan ang nagsisira sa yo. Ikaw na nga ang gumawa ng masama, ikaw pa ang nagtataas noo.

How to Find Out How Much a Toy Tractor Is Worth
Research is the key to discovering how much money your toy tractor is really worth. Toys, toy tractors included, are worth more if they are antiques or rare collector’s items and are in mint condition. Mint condition means the toy is in the box and has never been played with. The more damage to a toy tractor, the less it is probably worth. Once you know as much as you can about your tractor, compare the prices of sellers online, in stores, and in publications selling the identical or similar tractors, to help you determine the value of your tractor.
Research your toy tractor. Often there is a logo, company name, or patent number on the toy. Look up the patent number at the United States Patent and Trademark Office website 3. Date your item by the patent issued. If your toy tractor is an antique, consult old advertisements in vintage and antique magazines or the toy tractor’s manufacturer’s records. According to Raving Toy Maniac, toys that are antique, vintage, rare, or collectible are usually worth more 1.
Grade the tractor’s condition correctly. If it’s mint in the box and has never even been removed or played with, it will be worth more money. Many price guides have lists of descriptions of classifications, so you can rank your tractor appropriately to determine the tractor’s value.
Consult the price guides. Price guides list prices for mint toys. If your tractor isn’t in mint condition, the value of your toy tractor will be lower than the price listed in the price guide. According to Raving Toy Maniac, price guides are available in magazine, book, and online list form 1. The prices listed in the guides can be significantly different than actual selling rates. The Enoch Pratt Free Library lists the following price guides: "Warman’s Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide," "Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price List," "Miller’s International Antiques Price Guide," and "Maloney’s Antiques and Collectibles Resource Directory." There are others available also 2. Find price guides at bookstores.
Research online to find the value of your toy tractor by visiting antique and collectible, or toy collecting websites. According to the Enoch Pratt Free Library, visit auction houses and flea markets to see what the item is selling for. Rare items are worth more. Damage lessens the value of the tractor.
Price your tractor by seeing what buyers are paying for similar or identical toy tractors on auction websites or through toy-buying advertisements. List prices for toy tractors being sold through auctions don’t determine the value of the tractor. Search the closed auctions to see what the same tractor sold for. According to the Enoch Pratt Free Library, the prices in the price guides and the amount of money a person might pay for an object are significantly different 2. Value is determined by the money the buyer is willing to pay.
Subscribe to a collectible toy magazine, newsletter, or vintage/antique/collectible toy list. Raving Toy Maniac lists the following as a few publications useful in determining the value of collectible toys: "Action Figure News & Toy Review," "Beckett’s Hot Toys," and "Toyfare: The Guide to Collectible Toys." Look in bookstores for magazines and publications 1.

INDIANAPOLISCOLTS HEAD COACH TONY DUNGY,
(on the defense carrying the offense)
The first three games, it has been that way. They have been different kinds of games. I think it is going to be good for us in the long run to have to win games like this. We are waiting for our offense to get on track and explode. That is for sure.
(on defenses dropping eight in the secondary)
We're seeing quite a bit. We've seen quite a bit of that this preseason and in the first three games. Obviously, Romeo Crennel, he didn't have to copy anything. We just saw a little bit more of that from Baltimore and Jacksonville than we would have anticipated. It is something we will have to adapt to if we get a lot of teams playing us like this. I don't know if that is going to be a trend or what. I think our offense has done a good job of being patient, not forcing things and not turning the ball over. What we haven't done a good job of is finishing our drives in the red zone. If people are going to make us do that, when we get down there, we have got to make sure we score touchdowns.
(on quarterback Peyton Manning getting frustrated)
Knowing these defenses, we saw them on tape and how we were going to have to play. We've moved the ball pretty well for the most part. We just shot ourselves in the foot a little bit in the red zone and on a couple of third and short plays where you don't end up getting the scores that you want. I think we're playing smart. He has done a good job of playing within the system.
(on winning on defense)
I like to win no matter how they come. It is nice when your defense can hold the fort when you have to. It is always great when you can get up on people and get them out of their game plan and force the other team to throw. We'd like to score more points and be way ahead. We're never going to complain about that.
(on why the defense has had more success this year)
I think we're a little bit more physical. I think we know our defense a little bit better. Some of the younger guys that are playing like Bob Sanders, Mike Doss, Cato June, Garry Brackett, those guys know what they're doing a little bit better. Montae Reagor has been in the system a little bit longer. Dwight (Freeney) has been outstanding. When we've gotten in those passing situations, he has done a good job. I think it is a number of people just playing a little bit better.
(on Manning using a lot of hand signals at the line)
We do it to communicate. If it annoys the defense, I guess that would be a plus. The hand signals are built for the noise. We don't have a lot of verbal communication. When we play on the road, it is all done by signals. It is necessary for us. If you're telling me it frustrates the defense that is a bonus.
(on the Titans offense)
I really like what they're doing. I liked what they were doing before with Mike (Heimerdinger). They gave us a lot of problems and moved the ball on us. They do a lot of things. They are using a lot of different personnel groups. They are very sound in what they do. They are featuring Chris Brown really well running the type of running plays that he is good at. What I see them doing is putting them in position to make plays and not putting themselves in risk. They are doing a pretty good job of it so far.
(on Titans running back Chris Brown)
He slashes against us. He has run hard. He has run up through there and broken some tackles in the inside running game in the past. Hopefully we can tackle him a little bit better. He has always come out of the games and they spell him. I think with Travis (Henry) not playing, he is likely to be in there a little bit more. That could be bad news for us. Hopefully we can get him where he is not just getting out to the secondary free and easy.
(on more coaches coming as defensive coordinators than offensive coordinators)
It is probably just cyclical. I think good coaches come on both sides of the ball. I think what you're seeing is a lot of times the defensive coordinator has a little bit more autonomy. People view the offensive coordinator as being under the head coach. People are looking at the defensive side of the ball at Gregg Williams, Romeo Crennel, Marvin Lewis type guys and saying that these guys have run that side of the ball. Maybe they get a little bit more notoriety that way. I don't think it makes a difference. I think the good coaches stand out no matter what side of the ball they are on.
(on former players becoming coaches)
Some guys you'd be surprised, even guys that make a ton of money. Marvin Harrison comes to mind right now, I don't know how much money he makes, but you'd never know it. His lifestyle is coming to work and concentrating on his craft and practicing hard and being ready for the next day. If he wanted to be a coach, he'd be an outstanding guy. It wouldn't surprise me at all. Some of these guys are very good workers. Some of these guys don't get bothered by the hours and the lifestyle and everything. Not everybody can be a coach whether you played in the NFL or not. I know Benny (Thompson) fairly well. Benny was always a guy that put his time in and his craft was important to him. In that way, I am not surprised.
(on watching players to see who would be a good coach)
I think you always, as a head coach, you keep your eyes on the players that really worked at it and understand the game and thought like a coach. We've got several of those guys on our staff. Pete Metzelaars is on our staff and doing a tremendous job right now. I think the intern program that the NFL has established gives you a chance to see some of those guys. We have had several of those guys in our camps the last couple years that have gotten their start in coaching. Also in NFL Europe, guys are getting a chance to go over there and coach. There are some different avenues for those guys to come in and I think it is helpful.
(on Manning and Harrisonand their special connection on the field)**
They had it before I got here. It has been at least longer than four years for sure. Those guys work Monday after the game. We have a light practice and they are working on throws they may have missed from the day before. Normally that is when your second group gets a lot of work but those guys want to take every rep on Monday. They stay afterwards. They are out before the games. They are in meetings looking at things, analyzing how they want to run routes against different coverages. That is what it takes. They have been very blessed that they have spent seven years together.
(on why they are so good together)
You may have a route called but Marvin, because of the way the guy is playing him, is going to run the route a little differently than it is on paper. The guy may be playing an outside technique so he is going to break it off a little earlier or he has got a post, but there is a free safety so he is going to keep the post a little tighter so he doesn't run into the safety. Peyton knows from what he sees of the coverage, the way that Marvin is going to run certain routes. He throws the ball accordingly. Marvin knows when he is covered a certain way, where the ball is likely to come. Inside shoulder, outside shoulder, that type of thing. Throwing the ball to certain spots, Peyton knows where to throw it; Marvin knows where to expect it. A lot of times that can be the difference.

The history of project management is a fascinating journey that spans thousands of years, evolving through various civilizations, industries, and methodologies. Let’s explore the key milestones and developments in the history of project management…
Early Civilizations and Engineering Projects
Ancient Egypt and the Pyramids
One of the earliest examples of project management can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where the construction of monumental structures, such as the pyramids, required sophisticated planning and organizational skills. The construction of these colossal tombs for pharaohs involved an intricate division of labor, resource allocation, and coordination of a vast workforce. The projects were overseen by skilled architects and overseers who managed various teams responsible for quarrying, transporting, and assembling massive stone blocks.
Project management in ancient Egypt was crucial for estimating the required resources, ensuring a steady supply of materials, and synchronizing the work of artisans and laborers to meet strict deadlines. The pyramids were long-term endeavors, often taking decades to complete, requirin meticulous planning to handle potential challenges and changes in the project’s scope.
Roman Aqueducts and Roads
The Roman Empire, known for its engineering prowess, left an enduring legacy through the construction of aqueducts and roads that connected vast territories. Building these critical infrastructures necessitated a comprehensive understanding of project management principles. Engineers and architects developed precise plans, including surveys, calculations, and cost estimates, before commencing work.
Roman project managers focused on resource management, ensuring that materials and manpower were available when needed. They also dealt with complex logistical challenges, such as transporting construction materials over long distances and managing teams of skilled laborers, engineers, and soldiers. Roman project management practices contributed to the successful construction and maintenance of thousands of miles of roads and aqueducts, enhancing the empire’s efficiency, connectivity, and economic prosperity.
These early engineering projects laid the groundwork for modern project management by emphasizing the importance of detailed planning, resource allocation, and effective communication. They demonstrate that project management has been an essential aspect of human civilization since ancient times, enabling the realization of ambitious visions through organized and systematic execution.
Modern Project Management Emerges
The Industrial Revolution:
The 18th and 19th centuries marked the onset of the Industrial Revolution, leading to increased complexity in projects. Innovations in manufacturing and transportation required systematic approaches to manage resources, schedules, and budgets.
The Transcontinental Railroad:
In the 19th century, the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the United States exemplified large-scale project management. The endeavor involved coordination of multiple teams, material procurement, and the resolution of technical challenges across vast distances.
Scientific Management and Taylorism
Frederick Winslow Taylor:
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Frederick Winslow Taylor’s principles of scientific management laid the foundation for modern project management. Taylor emphasized efficiency, standardization, and systematic management of tasks to maximize productivity.
Henry Gantt and the Gantt Chart:
Henry Gantt’s introduction of the Gantt chart in the early 20th century revolutionized project planning and scheduling. The chart displayed tasks against time, allowing project managers to visualize progress and dependencies.
The Manhattan Project
The urgency of World War II led to the development of large-scale projects like the Manhattan Project. This secret undertaking to build the atomic bomb required immense planning, collaboration, and risk management.
World War II was a pivotal moment in history that witnessed unprecedented technological advancements and monumental engineering projects. Among the most notable of these projects was the Manhattan Project, a top-secret effort undertaken by the United States to develop the atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project stands as a significant example of project management on an extraordinary scale, combining scientific research, engineering, and military collaboration.
The Manhattan Project was initiated in response to the growing threat posed by Nazi Germany during World War II. Fearing that Germany might develop atomic weapons first, the United States government, under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, launched a clandestine research program to explore the possibilities of atomic energy and its potential use for military purposes.
The project was officially established on December 28, 1942, under the Army Corps of Engineers’ supervision. Major General Leslie R. Groves was appointed as the project’s director, responsible for coordinating the vast array of scientific, engineering, and military efforts involved in the development of the atomic bomb.
The scientific challenges of the Manhattan Project were immense. The project required groundbreaking research in nuclear physics, including the discovery and understanding of nuclear fission. The scientific leadership was provided by renowned physicists, such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Richard Feynman, who led the research at various sites across the United States.
To maintain secrecy and distribute risk, the Manhattan Project involved numerous sites scattered throughout the country. The key facilities included the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico (responsible for bomb design), the Hanford Site in Washington (production of plutonium), and the Oak Ridge facilities in Tennessee (uranium enrichment).
Coordinating these geographically dispersed facilities and their diverse teams was an incredible management challenge. General Groves played a critical role in ensuring communication and cooperation between these sites and streamlining the flow of resources, personnel, and information.
The Manhattan Project faced significant risks, both scientific and practical. The scientific community had to solve complex problems with incomplete knowledge of the behavior of nuclear reactions. Additionally, the project was a race against time, given the urgency of the war and the fear of Germany acquiring atomic weapons first.
Managing these risks involved careful planning, contingency strategies, and the relentless pursuit of research and development milestones. The project demanded rigorous project management practices to maintain the tight schedule and to ensure the successful completion of each critical phase.
The Manhattan Project also had profound ethical implications. The scientists and engineers involved wrestled with the moral dilemmas associated with the creation of such a powerful and destructive weapon. Despite these concerns, the collective sense of duty to win the war prevailed, driving the project forward.
The Manhattan Project reached its culmination on July 16, 1945, when the first successful test of an atomic bomb, code-named “Trinity,” was conducted at the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range in New Mexico. Less than a month later, on August 6 and August 9, 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan’s surrender and the end of World War II.
The Manhattan Project stands as a testament to the potential of effective project management to tackle complex and high-stakes endeavors. The successful development and deployment of the atomic bomb exemplify the power of collaboration, leadership, and resource management in achieving ambitious goals. However, the Manhattan Project also serves as a reminder of the ethical challenges associated with technological advancements and the importance of carefully considering the impact of such achievements on humanity.
The Evolution of Project Management Methodologies
Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT):
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the CPM and PERT methodologies emerged. Both focused on analyzing the critical path, sequencing tasks, and estimating project duration to improve project planning.
Waterfall Project Management:
In the 1970s, the concept of waterfall project management gained traction, emphasizing a linear and sequential approach to project phases, such as requirements, design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
Agile Manifesto (2001):
The early 21st century witnessed the emergence of Agile methodologies, emphasizing iterative and incremental development, customer collaboration, and flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.
Modern project management practices often incorporate hybrid methodologies, combining elements of traditional approaches like waterfall and newer frameworks like Agile, depending on the project’s characteristics and goals.
Project Management as a Discipline
Project Management Institutes (PMIs):
The establishment of professional organizations, such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) in 1969, contributed to the formalization and standardization of project management practices. PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) has become a widely recognized guide for project management principles.
International Project Management Association (IPMA):
The IPMA, founded in 1965, is another prominent organization advancing the project management profession worldwide. It focuses on competency-based certifications and promoting project management standards.
Project Management Software and Technology
Rise of Project Management Software:
Advancements in technology led to the development of project management software, such as Microsoft Project and various cloud-based tools. These platforms streamline project planning, resource allocation, and progress tracking.
Virtual Project Management:
With the globalization of businesses and remote work becoming prevalent, virtual project management has gained significance. Collaborative tools and communication platforms enable teams to work together seamlessly from different locations.
Project Management in Diverse Industries
Construction and Engineering:
The construction and engineering sectors have long been associated with project management, with large-scale infrastructure and development projects requiring intricate planning and execution.
The IT industry has seen rapid growth in project management adoption, given the complexity and dynamic nature of software development and technology projects.
Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals:
The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries have increasingly embraced project management methodologies to enhance research, development, and product launches.
The history of project management showcases a progression from ancient engineering marvels to the formalization of methodologies and professional organizations. Over the centuries, project management has evolved to meet the demands of various industries, incorporating modern tools and techniques to optimize project outcomes. As businesses continue to face increasingly complex challenges, project management remains a vital discipline to ensure successful and efficient project delivery.

I was born into two Cuban families and grew up in Miami as a first generation Cuban-American. The majority of my teenage years were spent running cross-country while attending high-school.
Being interested in images and writing, and pressured to take a more practical approach, I pursued a degree in journalism. However, I realized that I did not want to take pictures, but instead create them. Little by little I learned to speak a language true to myself. The death of my mother helped me discover this, and it galvanized my need to know more about myself and what I am capable of expressing. After graduating, I moved to New Mexico. Since living in the desert, my obsession with death morphed into an obsession for life, and I became eager to learn what it truly means to connect with others.
I’ve had to ask myself why I am attracted to illness, and intensity. I believe my own sense of loss and unfairness has made me want to see other people who have experienced profound loss, or that are going through a painful change in themselves.
Art is my tool to measure cycles of indignation and of healing, our growth as human beings, and as a way to record victories. What I create is an attempt to enter the collective human experience, as well as an access point into myself.

Wondering how to reduce your cholesterol? Here’s everything you need to know about lowering your cholesterol the easy way.
When we eat some types of fat our body converts them into cholesterol. A build-up of cholesterol in our arteries can lead to heart issues. Read on to discover what cholesterol is and how changing your diet can reduce it.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a molecule naturally found in our bodies. It is important for helping our bodies to function. However, having high cholesterol is very dangerous as it clogs up arteries which can lead to heart problems such as strokes and heart attacks.
Although high cholesterol can be a hereditary problem it is often caused by eating fatty foods and not exercising enough. Smoking and drinking can also be factors in having high cholesterol. Although there are no symptoms or signs of having high cholesterol a blood test will be able to show your cholesterol level.
If you have a blood cholesterol test your doctor will explain the results to you. There are different types of cholesterol and some are more concerning than others. It’s the Non-HDL cholesterol that should be kept as low as possible. HDL cholesterol is good as it prevents disease. But the other cholesterols that are categorised as Non-HDL can clog arteries and lead to heart problems.
There are medicines available to lower cholesterol in serve cases. But swapping to a healthy low saturated-fat diet and getting moving and shaking will also reduce the level of Non-HDL cholesterol in your body.
What is Cholesterol in food?
Certain foods such as dairy, shellfish, meat, and eggs contain cholesterol. This is often referred to as dietary cholesterol. People with high-cholesterol were previously advised to avoid eating foods containing dietary cholesterol. However, the advice has since changed. As it is now known that eating foods that contain dietary cholesterol have a very minor effect on the cholesterol in the body.
Heart UK is an authority on cholesterol. They explain that eating foods containing cholesterol will have little effect on the amount of cholesterol in your blood. “That’s because most of us eat less than 300mg of cholesterol per day – a small amount compared to the amount of saturated fat we eat.” Therefore if suffering from high-cholesterol it’s much more beneficial to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet rather than cutting out foods containing dietary cholesterol, you can do this with cholesterol-lowering recipes.
How to reduce cholesterol through your diet
These are the seven most effective ways to reduce high cholesterol.
1. Eat less saturated fat
In foods, there are two main types of fat. These are called unsaturated and saturated fat. So what’s the difference between good fats and bad fats? As a general rule unsaturated are the ‘good’ fats. Things such as nuts and oily fish fall into this category. Although it is important to eat unsaturated fat in moderation as too much is unhealthy.
Saturated fat is the fat found in foods such as cheese, meat pies, sausages, pizza and cakes, and biscuits, among many others. Eating foods high in saturated fat is problematic as it will raise the cholesterol in the body which may lead to heart problems.
To work out how much saturated fat is in foods have a look at the food label. The nutritional information will contain two figures; ‘Fat’ and ‘of which saturates’ or ‘sat-fat’.
- Food is considered to be high in saturated fat if it has over 5g of saturated fat per 100g. So these are ones you should avoid if you have high cholesterol.
- Foods that are considered low in saturated fat have 1.5g or less per 100g.
Trans fat is another type of fat, this is found in mainly found in meat and dairy products. But these fats are also modified to create artificial trans fats that are used in a few ready-made cakes and bakes. Check the food label for “hydrogenated fats or oils” and avoid these if possible.
How much saturated fat should I eat per day?
- UK health guidance recommends eating no more than 30g of saturated fat for an adult male age 19 to 64, and for a female, it suggests capping a daily intake of saturated fat at 20g per day.
- Children at 4-6 years old should eat no more than 18g per day, 7-10 year olds should eat no more than 22g of saturated fat each day. And 11+ year olds should eat no more than 28g a day.
- Adults aiming to reduce cholesterol should eat less saturated fat. In the UK there is no official guidance on the exact amount. But in the US The American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat to less than 6% of total daily calories in order to reduce cholesterol. Generally, the recommended daily calorie intake is 2000 calories a day for women, so for women, 6% equates to about 13g of saturated fat. Men whose recommended daily calorie intake is 2500 calories should eat no more than 17g of saturated fat per day in order to reduce cholesterol.
2. Swap to monounsaturated fats
It gets even a little bit more confusing as unsaturated fats can be further divided into: monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. The differences come down to the structure of the fat and how easy it is for the body to break it down.
The great thing about monounsaturated fats is that they can be beneficial to the body and can actually help to reduce the bad cholesterol in our bodies. Monounsaturated fats are more easily broken down in our bodies than saturated fats, so do not clog the arteries or contribute to bad cholesterol.
Foods that contain ‘good’ Monounsaturated fats:
- olive oil
- canola oil
- peanut oil
- safflower oil
- sesame oil
- peanut butter
Making lower-fat food swaps is one of the easiest ways to eat less saturated fats. For example for a snack cut out the crisps that are high in saturated fat. And instead replace them with nuts, which are high in good monounsaturated fats. Or on your toast in the morning swap butter for peanut butter for example.
Although be aware that like all fats monounsaturated are high in energy. Gram for gram contains the same amount of calories as saturated fat, so enjoy in moderation.
For a really easy healthy option, we love the M&S eat well range. They offer a variety of tasty ready-meals that are low in saturated fat.
3. Go Nolo
In our bodies, the liver helps to control the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Drinking excessively can weaken the liver. There are many extreme ways to detox the liver such as juice fasts and taking supplements. But one of the easiest ways to give your liver a break is to cut out alcohol, at least for a couple of days a week. There are lots of No and Low alcohol options available so you don’t have to feel like you are missing out.
4. Snack healthy
When we’re feeling peckish between meal times it’s often those foods high in saturated fat that we’re tempted to reach for. But swap these for healthy and filling snacks such as fruit and nuts. Or just opt for a lovely hot tea, it might just be the sit-down and the break that you’re craving, not actually a snack at all?
5. Up your fiber intake
Fiber is so important in our diets, but it can often be overlooked. In fact, the NHS suggests that an adult should aim to consume 30g of fiber every day. Two ingredients considered most effective for reducing cholesterol are oats and barley. This is because they contain a type of fiber called beta-glucan which can help to lower cholesterol. For an easy beta-glucan-packed breakfast try porridge. Make it with water and avoid adding salt for the healthiest option.
Wholemeal bread and pasta, brown rice, barley, buckwheat, and rye are also all high-fiber foods, which help control cholesterol levels. If you eat pasta bread or rice often a simple swap to a wholemeal alternative could make a big difference.
6. Five a day is the healthy way
Eating a minimum of five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day is a powerful weapon in the fight against cholesterol. They are low in fat and contain fiber. So full up on vitamin-rich fruit and veg goodness instead of fatty foods. Most fruits and veg, even juices and pulses count towards five a day.
According to the NHS the following portion sizes count towards five a day:
- 80g of fresh, canned, or frozen fruit and vegetables
- 30g of dried fruit
- 150ml of fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie (max once a day)
- 80g of beans and pulses (max once a day)
So it’s easier than you might have thought to reach five a day. And if you want to take this to the extreme swapping to a plant-based diet is a great way of cutting out many saturated fats.
7. Sterols and stanols
Sterols and stanols are organic chemicals that are naturally found in nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables, and wholegrain. But as it would be hard to eat a sufficient amount by eating them in their natural form you can purchase products that have added sterols and stanols. These products have been specifically designed for people with high cholesterol as sterols and stanols reduce unhealthy cholesterol. When they are absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream sterols and stanols actively block some cholesterol from being absorbed.
Heart UK endorses foods with synthetically added sterols and stanols explaining “These fortified foods lower your cholesterol gradually, over a few weeks. And how much depends on the amount you eat. Some experts believe they are the most effective single food for lowering cholesterol.”
We would not suggest you try these if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or do not have high-cholesterol.
How to reduce cholesterol quickly
If you are concerned about high-cholesterol seek advice from your doctor. In extreme cases, they will be able to prescribe medication. But swapping to a healthy diet, reducing the amount of alcohol you drink, if you’re a smoker stopping smoking, and doing more exercise will all be beneficial in reducing the bad cholesterol in your blood.

If you are self-employed, you’ll likely do a lot of your communicating with customers, suppliers and other contacts via email. The email address you use for business communications speaks volumes about your company, while the quality of the email hosting can play an important role in helping you stay organised and on top of your game.
Here, we look at why the self-employed need professional email hosting.
- It makes you look more professional
With professional email hosting, you can use a business domain name for your emails. So instead of having a @gmail.com or @outlook.com for your address, you can use @yourbusinessname.com. This can have an immediate impact on people who receive your emails as it presents you as a professional, something that can be helpful for the self-employed when competing with bigger companies.
- Increases trust and confidence
Today, customers expect that the companies they deal with will have an own-domain email address. Indeed, when people receive business emails from free email services, it can make them suspicious about whether the email is genuine or not. After all, anyone can set up a Gmail or Outlook email account and make it look like they are a business. A lot of spam and phishing emails are sent using free email addresses.
One of the biggest benefits of having your domain email address is that the domain belongs to you. When people receive email from such an address, it increases trust that it is genuine and gives them greater confidence to use your services.
Protects your brand’s reputation
When you purchase a domain name, no one else can use it. This stops other companies from buying it and using your company’s name and reputation to steal your custom. It also prevents cybercriminals from buying it and using it to defraud your customers.
Multiple email addresses
One of the most important benefits of having professional email hosting with your domain name is that you can have multiple email addresses for your business. While self-employed people might not have a lot of employees, they can all have their business email addresses. You can even make your company look bigger than it is by creating different professional email addresses for different purposes, so that it looks like you have several departments, for example, sales@, customer-service@ and finance@. You can even set up addresses for specific things, such as newsletter@.
Do more with your email
When you have good email hosting, there is a lot more you can do with your email. Creating, managing and deleting email accounts is much easier, you can access emails over webmail from any browser or integrate them into your favourite applications, like Outlook, for use on PC and phone. You can also set up email forwarding and autoresponders, as well as create and share calendars, contact lists and tasks, all of which can be done via an easy to use dashboard.
Save time and boost security
Inboxes get inundated with spam emails, many of which can have security threats, like phishing, attachments that install malware, or links to malicious websites. You’ll find that some professional email hosting plans, like those at eukhost, come with the SpamExperts enterprise-class spam filter included. Cutting out 99.98% of all spam emails, can save you hours cleaning up your inbox every week and protect your devices from malware, ransomware, phishing and other security threats.
Use the domain for both email and a website
The same domain name you use for your email address can also be used for hosting a website. If you haven’t got a business website, this makes perfect sense, as it enables your business to be found online and be seen by far more potential customers. What’s more, if you choose a web hosting plan at eukhost, you’ll get professional email hosting included in the price, so it won’t cost you any more. And with one-click installation of easy-to-use website building programs, like WordPress, you can be online in no time.
- Protect recipients with email certificates
Cybercriminals can target your customers by sending fake emails that look like they come from your business. Sometimes, these fakes can be very difficult to distinguish from the real thing and this is why so many people fall victim.
Email SSL Certificates protect your customers by verifying that the email received is genuinely from you and not anyone else. For double protection, they also encrypt your email and attachments when they are being sent so that they cannot be intercepted or tampered with on route.
For self-employed people still using free email services, like Gmail or Outlook, professional email address can have a positive impact on your business. With your domain and hosting, you can look more professional, improve customer trust and confidence, communicate more effectively and securely and reduce the amount of time you spend sorting through spam.

Mr Robinson said,
“There is overwhelming support for Northern Ireland remaining an integral part of the United Kingdom. Those who wish to take Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom, whilst entitled to their views have ignored the reality that Unionists look to a part of the United Kingdom.
Leo Varadkar is playing domestic politics in his own country and must know that a border poll is the last thing Northern Ireland needs, that such a campaign would take the focus off the issues that need advanced and in the end having further harmed relationships would be defeated.
Rather than trying to ratchet up the rhetoric on a border poll, the Taoiseach should recognise that political progress in NI was hard won and is built on the support of unionists and nationalists and spend his time focusing on building better relationships between his country and ours.”

"கவிதையும் கலையும் வெறும் மனமயக்கங்கள். சாமானியனான நான் என்னைப் பற்றி மிகையான கற்பனைகளை உருவாக்கிக் கொள்ள அவை உதவின. அவ்வளவுதான். தெளிவாகச் சொல்லப்போனால் உலகில் மகிழ்ச்சியாக வாழ்வதற்குத் தேவையான ஞானம் மட்டுமே உண்மை. அதைப் பிறருக்குப் பகிரும் நோக்கத்துடன் உருவானதே மொழி. எப்போதும் எந்தத் தருணம் ஞானமும் மொழியும் இந்த மாயையால் மூடப்பட்டன? நான் ஒரு மிகப்பெரிய பொய். பொய் என்பது மெய்யின் ஆடிப்பிம்பம். மெய் போலவே அகன்றது, எல்லையற்றது, மகத்தானது. ஆனால் அது புக முயன்றால் தடையாக மாறி முகத்தில் அறையும்."
(கவிஞன் சங்கர்ஷணனின் தவிப்பு)
அன்பு ஜெயமோகன்,
சில கவிதைகளின் வரிகள் என்னைத் திகைக்கச் செய்வதோடு கொஞ்சம் அதிரவும் வைக்கின்றன. நதியின் மேற்பரப்பைத் தாண்டி குதிக்கும் மீன்கள் எப்படி அதை வியப்பில் ஆழ்த்துகின்றனவோ அப்படியே கவிதைகள் எனக்கு. அவை எனக்கு எவ்வித விளக்கங்களையும் அளிப்பதில்லை. கொஞ்ச நேரம் என்னை என்னிலிருந்து பிடுங்கித் தனியே அமர வைத்து விடுகின்றன. அக்கொஞ்சநேரத் தனிமை தரும் வெறுமையை என்னால் இதுவரை எதிர்கொள்ளவே முடிந்த்தில்லை. என்றாலும், அவ்வெறுமையின் வழியே நான் பெற்றுக்கொண்ட பாடங்கள் ஏராளம். அதற்காகவே கவிதைகளை நேசிக்கிறேன். மேலும், கவிதைகள் எப்போதும் ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட அர்த்தங்களையே சுமந்து நிற்பதில்லை.
பல கவிதைகள் என்னை அதிர வைத்திருத்திருக்கின்றன. அவ்வதிர்வு எப்போது அக்கவிதைகளை வாசித்தாலும் கிட்டுமா என்றால் கேள்வியே எஞ்சுகிறது. சில கவிதைகளே எப்போது வாசித்தாலும் அப்போதுதான் வாசிப்பதான மனவெழுச்சியையும் அதிர்வையும் தருகின்றன. சில கவிதைகள் தங்களின் வார்த்தைகளை மாற்றிப்போட்டுப் பார்க்கவும் என்னைத் தூண்டுகின்றன. "சிறகிலிருந்து பிரிந்த இறகு ஒன்று / காற்றின் தீராத பக்கங்களில் / ஒரு பறவையின் வாழ்வை எழுதிச் செல்கிறது" எனும் பிரமிளின் கவிதை அப்படியான ஒன்று. "சிறகிலிருந்து பிரிந்த இறகு", "காற்றின் தீராத பக்கங்கள்", "ஒரு பறவையின் வாழ்வு" போன்ற சொல்லாட்சிகளின் வடிவங்களையே நான் அப்போது அதிகம் வியந்திருந்தேன். மிகச்சமீபமாய் அக்கவிதையை நண்பர் ஒருவர் குறிப்பிட்டபோது வேறுவித வியப்பு என்னில் தோன்றியது. கவிதையின் வார்த்தைகள் மாறி அமர்ந்த ஆச்சர்யமே அது. "ஒரு பறவை / காற்றின் தீராத பக்கங்களில் / தன் சிறகிலிருந்து பிரிந்த இறகு ஒன்றி வாழ்வை எழுதிச் செல்கிறது" என நான் அக்கவிதையையே தலைகீழாக்கினேன். பறவையும், இறகும் இடம்மாறியதும் அக்கவிதை தரும் அனுபவமே புதிதாய் இருந்தது. பிரமிள் எதன்பொருட்டு அக்கவிதையை எழுதியிருப்பார் எனும் விசாரணைக்குள் எப்போதும் நான் செல்லவிரும்பியதில்லை. அக்கவிதை எனக்களிக்கும் அனுபவங்களைக் கண்டுகொள்வதையே முக்கியம் என்று கருதுகிறேன்.
"இரவின் நிழலே பகல்; இருளின் சாயை ஒளி" என முடியும் கவிதை ஒன்றையும் பிரமிள் எழுதி இருக்கிறார். "பூமியின் நிழலே வானத்திருளா / பகலின் நிழல்தான் இரவா" என அக்கவிதையை அவர் தொடங்கி இருப்பார். இரவு, பகல், நிழல் மற்றும் சாயை போன்ற வார்த்தைகள் தரும் வெளிச்சத்தை எல்லா வாசகர்களாலும் உணர்ந்து கொள்ள முடியாது. அதற்கான வாசகர்களை அதுநிச்சயம் சேரும். ஒரு கவிதை எப்போதும் தன்னைத் திறந்தே வைத்திருக்கிறது. அதைத் தேடி வருபவனை எப்போதும் அது ஏமாற்றுவதில்லை. நாமோ நம்மை மூடிக்கொண்டல்லவா வாசிப்பை நிகழ்த்துகிறோம்? ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட தருக்கத்தின் பிடியில் அகப்பட்டவர்களுக்கு கவிதைகள் எப்போதும் பயன் தரா. கவிதைகளை முன்முடிவுகளோடு அணுகுபவர்களுக்கு அது எவ்வித அனுபவத்தையும் தருவதில்லை. எளிமையாகச் சொல்வதாயின், குறிப்பிட்ட தளத்தில் இயங்கும் ஆய்வாளர்களுக்கு கவிதைகள் சலிப்பூட்டுபவை. கவிதைகளை "அலங்காரமாய் நிறுத்தப்பட்ட வார்த்தைகள்" என்றே அவர்கள் சொல்வர்.
கவிதைகளை எல்லோராலும் நெருங்கி விட முடியாது என்பதால்தான் கலைகள் தோன்றுகின்றன. கலைகளும் மக்களின் மனநிலைக்கேற்ப பலவடிவங்களில் தங்களை வெளிப்படுத்திக் கொள்கின்றன. வாழ்வின் எதிர்பாராமைகளைக் கண்டு நொறுங்கிப்போகும் சாதாரண மனிதர்களைக் கலைகளே ஆசுவாசப்படுத்துகின்றன. வேட்டைச் சமூகக் காலகட்டத்திலேயே கலைகள் இருந்திருக்கின்றன. குகை ஓவியங்கள் அதற்குத் தகுந்த சான்று. பல்லாயிரம் ஆண்டுகள் பழமை கொண்டதாக இன்று கண்டறியப்படும் குகை ஓவியங்கள் ஆதிமனிதனின் வாழ்வியலை ஓரளவு புரிந்து கொள்ள உதவுகின்றன. வேட்டைச் சமூகக் காலத்தில் நாடோடிகளாக இருந்தனர் நம் முன்னோர். இரவுப்பொழுதை குகைகளிலும், மரப்பொந்துகளிலும் கழித்தனர். அவர்களுக்கான அடுத்த வேளை உணவு என்பதே பெருஞ்சிக்கல். அவ்வுணவைப் பெறும்பொருட்டுத் தங்கள் நம்பிக்கையைப் பலப்படுத்திக் கொள்ள விலங்குகளை வேட்டையாடி வெற்றிகொள்வது போன்ற காட்சிகளை தங்கியிருந்த குகைகளில் முன்கூட்டியே வரைந்தனர். அப்படியான பாவனைகளே காலப்போக்கில் சடங்குகளாக மாறி இருக்கின்றன. தற்காலச் சடங்குகள் பொருளற்றவை என்றாலும் அது ஒரு நவீன மனிதனுக்குள்ளிருக்கும் ஆதிமனிதனை நினைவூட்டிக் கொண்டே இருக்கின்றன. மலைநிலத்தின் வேட்டைக்க்கருவியான வில்லே காலப்போக்கில் யாழாக மாறுகிறது. காட்டில் கிடைக்கும் மூங்கிலே குழலாக மாறுகிறது. இசைக்கலையின் வரலாற்றை இப்படியாகவே நாம் அணுக வேண்டும். தோல், நரம்பு மற்றும் காற்று இசைக்கருவிகளில் குறிப்பிட்ட இனக்குழுமக்களின் வாழ்வும் மறைந்திருக்கிறது. மருத நிலத்தின் வேளாண்மைத் தொழிலே கும்மி, கோலாட்டம் முதலிய நடனங்களாக மாறுகின்றன. வயல்வெளியில் நாற்று நடும் பெண்களின் அசைவுகளே கும்மியில் அடவுகளாகின்றன. நெய்தல் நிலத்தின் மீன்பிடித்தொழிலாளர்களின் படகைச் செலுத்தும் "ஏலேலோ ஐலசா" எனும் உரத்த சீரான குரலே வாய்ப்பாட்டுக்கு வித்திட்டிருக்கலாம். ஒவ்வொரு நிலப்பகுதியிலுமான வாழ்வை நாம் சடங்குகளாகவும், கலைகளாகவும் இன்றுவரை சுமந்து வந்தபடியே இருக்கிறோம். வேலன் வெறியாட்டம் எனும் சங்ககாலச் சடங்கு இன்றுவரை கேரளாவில் தெய்யாட்டமாக தொடர்ந்தபடிதான் இருக்கிறது. என்றாலும், கொஞ்ச வருடங்கள் முன்புவரை அவற்றில் இருந்த உயிர்ப்பு இப்போதில்லையோ எனும் அச்சம் எழுகிறது. மேலைச் சிந்தனைகளின் தாக்கத்தில் கலைக்கோட்பாடுகளை வகுக்க முயலும் நாம் நம் மரபுக்கலைகளைப் பொருளற்றதாகக் கருதத் துவங்கி விடுகிறோம். அதனடிப்படையில் அவற்றை உதாசீனப்படுத்தவும் செய்கிறோம். ஒரு கலையைக் குறிப்பிட்ட வடிவில் பொதுமைப்படுத்தவே மேலைச்சிந்தனை முயல்கிறது. நம் இந்திய மரபோ ஒரு கலையின் பன்முக வடிவங்களை உள்ளவாறே கொண்டுசெல்ல முயல்கிறது. நம் செயல்பாட்டு அடிப்படையில் சிக்கல்கள் இருக்கலாம். அதைக்களையப் பார்க்கலாமே ஒழிய, நம் மரபையும் கலைகளையும் எச்சூழலிலும் விட்டுக்கொடுத்து விடக்கூடாது.
ஒரு எளிய மனிதனுக்கு கவிதைகளும், கலைகளும் பயனுள்ளவையாக இருக்கலாம். எனினும், ஞானத்தைத் தேடும் சான்றோர்களுக்கு அவை பயனளிக்குமா எனப்பார்த்தால் நிச்சயம் இல்லை என்பதே பதில். உலகியல் வாழ்வின் சிக்கல்களை எதிர்கொள்ளத் தடுமாறும் சாதாரண மனிதர்கள் கலைகளில் தம் தடுமாற்றங்களைக் கொஞ்ச நேரம் மறக்கின்றனர். அதுபோதும் அவர்களுக்கு. அதிகம் யோசிப்பதை அறியாத, நான் யார் என சிந்திக்க விரும்பாத எளிய மனிதர்கள் கலைகளிலும், சடங்குகளிலும் தங்கள் உளவியலைச் சமப்படுத்திக் கொள்கின்றனர். "முருகனுக்கு காவடி எடுத்தால் எல்லாம் சரியாகி விடும்" எனச் சொல்லும் ஒருவர் அப்படி காவடி எடுத்தவுடன் தன் பிரச்சினைகள் சரியாகிவிடும் என உண்மையாக்வே நம்புகிறார். அதனால் தன் பிரச்சினைகளை எளிதாக எதிர்கொள்ளவும் தயாராகிறார். அவர்களுக்கு ஞானமோ, நான் யார் என்பது பற்றியோ துளியும் அக்கறையில்லை. அப்படியான வாழ்வு வாய்க்க நமக்குத்தான் கொடுத்து வைக்கவில்லையே? பிறகெப்படி நாம் அலைபாயாமல் இருப்பது? முருகன்(கடவுள்) யார், நாம் யார், உலக வாழ்வு என்பது எதுவரை, உலகத்தோற்றம், பிரபஞ்ச மூலம் என அல்லாடத்துவங்குகிறோம். கருத்துக்கள் நம்முள் நிரம்பிக்கொண்டே இருக்கின்றன. அவற்றை ஆராய்ந்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறோம். இதுவரை கற்றவை, இனி கற்பவை என யாவற்றையும் கேள்விக்குள்ளாக்கும்படி வெட்டவெளியின் தரிசனம் சாத்தியமாகிறது. அழுத்திக் கொண்டிருந்த துயரங்கள் யாவும் ஒருநொடியில் விலகியது போன்ற ஆனந்தம். தொடர்ந்து அந்நிலையிலேயே இருக்க முயல்கிறோம். "முருகனுக்கு அரோகரா, கந்தனுக்கு அரோகரா"(காட்டாகச் சொல்கிறேன்) எனும் சில குரல்களால் எதார்த்தத்துக்கு வருகிறோம். வெட்டவெளியின் பிம்பங்கள்தான் நாம் என்றாலும் நாமே வெட்டவெளியில்லை. பிம்பங்கள் எப்போதும் அவற்றுக்கான இயல்பிலிருந்து வெளிவந்துவிடவே முடியாது. ஆக, எப்போதும் அதன் இயல்பைப் பெற்றுவிட முடியாது. வேண்டுமானால், வெட்டவெளியின் பிம்பம்தான் நாம் என்பதை விதவிதமாகக் கொண்டாடலாம். அதையே நம் மரபு கோயில், திருவிழா, சடங்குகள் எனும் வடிவங்களில் முன்வைக்கிறதோ என்றும் அதிசயிக்கிறேன்.

The Colorado Rockies had one of the best offenses in the league last year but finished with the second worst record in the league as a result of having the worst pitching staff in the game. By far. Their 4.84 ERA ranks well behind Arizona’s 4.26 for the worst in the National League and this season doesn’t look to be any better.
While their offense remains potent, when healthy, the Rockies failed to improve their staff, adding two starters that don’t inspire much optimism and calling it an offseason. The Rockies are betting on their youngsters to develop but they too pose a lot more questions than answers.
Let’s take a look at what we can expect from this strong offense and woeful pitching staff in 2015.
Batting Average: 2nd
Notable Additions: David Hale, Kyle Kendrick, Daniel Descalso, Nick Hundley, Gus Schlosser, John Axford
Notable Losses: Michael Cuddyer, Josh Rutledge, Franklin Morales, Brett Anderson, Jhoulys Chacin, Juan Nicasio, Matt Belisle, Nick Masset
1B: Justin Morneau
Though he’s now 33, Morneau has plenty left in the tank after leading the NL with a .319 BA, the third highest he’s ever posted. He still has enough pop to hit close to 20 home runs while adding 30+ doubles and 75+ RBI. He struck out a career-best 60 times last season, so he’s a considerably different hitter than we saw in Minnesota but clearly still a very dangerous one.
2B: DJ LeMahieu, Daniel Descalso
LeMahieu has a very strong glove at second but lacks a bit at the plate, failing to hit for extra bases or draw a respectable amount of walks. You can do worse offensively at the plate than LeMahieu but he’s obviously here for that stellar glove work.
Like LeMahieu, Descalso isn’t much of a hitter but is here for his glove. He’s not as good as LeMahieu defensively but he can play anywhere in the infield.
3B: Nolan Arenado
After a promising rookie year in 2013, Arenado improved across the board in 2014, batting .287 with a .828 OPS, 18 HR, 61 RBI, 58 R, and 34 2B while striking out just 58 times. He has a great ability to hit the gaps for extra bases, keeps the strikeouts low, can hit 20+ home runs a season, and is already one of the best defensive third basemen in the league. He’s already hit four homers and five doubles while driving in 11 this spring. At just 23 years old, though, we have only scratched the surface of his abilities.
SS: Troy Tulowitzki
Tulowitzki is arguably the best offensive shortstop in the game but has played more than 126 games just once in the last five seasons and has been limited to 264 games over the last three years. Still, when Tulo plays he’s as good as the come. In 91 games last season, he batted .340 with a 1.035 OPS, 21 HR, 52 RBI, and 71 R. He already has three home runs in just 30 at-bats this spring and will be stellar once again, for however many games he’s able to play.
C: Wilin Rosario, Nick Hundley, Michael McKenry
Rosario missed some time with injury last year and saw his home run totals slip to 13 in 106 games after hitting 28 and 21 the previous two seasons. A healthy Rosario is plenty capable of hitting 20+ home runs with 70+ RBI, 25+ doubles, and a respectable batting average, even if he never walks.
Hundley isn’t going to hit for a good average but he does a solid job of hitting the gaps for extra bases. He’s not great behind the plate but he’s not terrible either and better than Rosario.
McKenry looked much better in his return to Colorado last year than his previous three seasons in Pittsburgh, batting .315 with a .910 OPS, eight homers, nine doubles, and 22 RBI. He’s also likely the best defensive catcher of the three.
Carlos Gonzalez is the outfield version of Troy Tulowitzki. He could be a top-10 outfielder but is constantly hurt and has been limited to 180 games over the last two years. He was limited to 70 games last season and struggled more than we’ve ever seen, batting a career-low .238 with 11 HR, 15 doubles, and three steals. A healthy CarGo consistently hits 20+ home runs, ~30 doubles, and drives in 80+ while batting .295+ so if he can stay on the field he should bounce back. We’ll have to wait and see if the steals will return, though.
Corey Dickerson came out of nowhere last season to hit 24 HR, 27 2B, drive in 76 and score 74 while batting a highly impressive .312. That’s right about what he showed he can do in the minors, hitting as many as 32 home runs and 40 doubles and batting a career .322 with a .981 OPS. He’s already got a homer, a triple, and four doubles in 45 at-bats this spring and has all the makings of “the real deal.” At least at the plate, his glove still leaves something to be desired.
Charlie Blackmon’s 2014 season was a coup. While Dickerson showed good potential in the minors, nothing in Blackmon’s background suggested he was capable of putting up 19 homers, 72 RBI, 82 R, 27 2B, and 28 SB while batting .288 in his first full season in the Bigs. He doesn’t have the best defense for a centerfielder but if he can come close to last season’s production once again this could be one of the best hitting outfields in the league. Again.
Drew Stubbs was solid in his first season in Colorado last year, batting a career-high .289 with a career-best .821 OPS, 15 HR, 22 2B, 67 R, and 20 SB in 388 at-bats. He’s very likely to go 15-15 again this season, even in a limited role, but strikes out a ton (he already has 23 strikeouts in 41 at-bats this spring) which means a lot of unproductive outs. Solid glove, though.
Brandon Barnes also strikes out a lot and never walks but he does a good job of hitting for extra bases and is a solid fielder.
Jorge De La Rosa looked solid in 2013 but saw his ERA rise to 4.10 last season despite an improved WHIP. He was hurt by his home run totals, something that has constantly plagued him and just about every other Rockies starter. After allowing 11 home runs in 2013 he gave up 21 last year and, based on his history, he’s much closer to the pitcher he was last season than in 2013. He’s already injured and will open the season on the DL, though he isn’t expected to miss a lot of time.
Jordan Lyles isn’t very good, regardless of his killer numbers this spring. He did see a surprising improvement in his numbers after moving from Houston to Colorado but it’s not hard to improve on the 5.35 ERA he put up in three seasons with the Astros. The 4.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP he put up last year seem to be about as good as it gets but if the home runs rise back to the numbers we saw in Houston his ERA will quickly return to the 5’s. Sure, he’s only allowed two earned runs in 21 innings this March but after 503 innings in the Bigs that’s all smoke and mirrors.
Kyle Kendrick has been rough the last couple of seasons, putting up a combined 4.65 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over that stretch. He gives up a lot of hits and his home run totals are likely to increase in Coors which means he may regress even further. He’s already allowed 24 baserunners in 15.1 innings this spring and you can’t get away with putting that many men on base in Colorado.
Tyler Matzek is a former top-25 prospect who was iffy in his first taste of the Bigs last season, putting up a 4.05 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. He did a good job of keeping the ball in the park but allowed far too many baserunners and had to work out of too many jams. He’s struggling this spring, allowing six runs and 16 baserunners through eight innings, and has hit three batters. If he starts allowing even just a few more home runs, which is likely in Coors, he’s going to get burned.
David Hale may miss the start of the season with an oblique injury but he’s likely to see his fair share of starts this year. He was promising for Atlanta in six starts and 39 relief appearances last season, posting a 3.30 ERA despite his 1.47 WHIP. The only thing that saved him was the 0.5 HR/9 rate that allowed him to get out of jams despite a copious amount of baserunners. He may not be so lucky in Colorado and has already allowed six earned runs and 15 baserunners in 9.1 innings this spring.
Christian Bergman is fighting for the fifth starter job with Hale and De La Rosa injured but isn’t doing a great job, allowing nine earned runs and 23 baserunners through 14.2 innings. He wasn’t any good in 10 starts last year, allowing 36 runs and nine homers in 54.2 innings while surrendering an insane 12.3 hits per nine. He struggled with the longball in the minors which doesn’t bode well for his future in Coors.
Jon Gray is keeping Bergman in the competition for the fifth starter job thanks to his own struggles. A top-15 prospect entering the season, Gray has surrendered nine earned runs and 17 baserunners in 13.2 innings. He’s never been above Double-A so he’s likely to start the year in the minors but he likely has the most promise of anyone in this staff.
LaTroy Hawkins was great after stepping into the Rockies’ closer job last year, saving 23 of 26 games while posting a solid 3.31 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Despite his advanced age, Hawkins has remained very reliable when healthy and the longtime vet should do fine in the ninth inning job once again.
Adam Ottavino is a good strikeout pitcher who has gotten his control issues in check and should remain highly reliable if he can continue to keep the ball in the park.
Rex Brothers was stellar in 2013 and absolutely brutal in 2014. After posting a 1.74 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 2013, he put up a miserable 5.59 ERA and 1.85 WHIP last year. He’s already allowed seven runs and 11 baserunners in 6.2 innings this spring and it’s certainly hard to expect a turnaround with that kind of start.
John Axford gives up a ton of walks and is often hurt by the longball. Despite five strong scoreless innings this spring, Colorado may be the worst place for Axford to go.
Boone Logan had four solid seasons with the Yankees but absolutely fell apart last year, giving up 19 runs and six homers in just 25 innings. He’s always struggled with the longball and proved last year that pitchers prone to the home run elsewhere should never find themselves in Coors.
Brooks Brown was a terrible reliever in the minors but was surprisingly solid in his first taste of the Bigs last year, putting up a 2.77 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 26 innings. He’s looking solid in spring training, allowing just two runs across 10.1 innings and may actually be a solid pitcher and possibly in line for the backup closer job despite an underwhelming run in the minors.

I am bored and the journey home is tedious. In my bag is my latest purchase, a powerful wand massager which will be put to good use as soon as I get home. And no: not to massage my back.
Thinking about the evening ahead makes me horny. I never fail to get excited about some me-time. And ever since I invested in some sex toys, me-time has become a whole lot better. I can’t imagine masturbating without the help of a sex toy anymore.
I need to have some diversion, or this journey home will take an eternity. I look around the train carriage and catch the haughty eye of a striking brunette sitting a few seats away from me. She doesn’t look away but rather lets her eye travel over the length of my body, lingering on my breasts which are almost popping out of my low cut top. When she looks up again, there is a cold smile on her face.
I feel myself get hot. Should I feel embarrassed by her obvious attention? I don’t know what I should feel, I only know what I do feel. And what I feel is lust and excitement. I can imagine this woman strapping me to the bed, spread-eagled. I can imagine her gaze lingering over my naked body, inspecting me fully before taking my newly acquired wand massager and treating me to a full body massage.
My cunt is dripping now, but I don’t care. I love this fantasy and it will fuel my excitement for when I am home. I won’t be able to strap myself to the bed, but I can certainly tease myself until I beg for the force of the massager against my cunt, making me come over and over again. I know I can: I am horny enough.
My stop is called and when I get up and walk past the brunette, she caught my hand. I stop and look down on her.
‘Make it last as long as you can,’ she says, her voice harsh.
And even though I don’t know her and she has no way of checking whether I have obeyed her, I do exactly as she commanded.
Next time I am going to ask for her number.

You’re probably already familiar with the common symptoms of low testosterone, like reduced muscle mass and a decreased sex drive. However, while you might recognize these symptoms on paper, you may not be aware of the myriad ways they can affect your overall well-being. Low testosterone does not exist in a vacuum. A wide variety of short-term and long-term implications can harm various areas of your health in the long run.
It’s important to be aware of these health effects. A hormone deficiency may be behind your other symptoms even if you don’t suspect you have low T. Once you understand how low testosterone can negatively affect your mental and physical well-being, you can determine whether you have a deficiency. This will enable you to seek out the proper treatment at a testosterone clinic in Dallas, Texas.
Here’s what you need to know about the link between low testosterone and general health.
Testosterone and Sexual Health
As the primary male sex hormone, testosterone naturally plays a direct role in a man’s sexual health. One of the most important aspects of your sexual health is your libido or sex drive. Maintaining regular testosterone levels is crucial to promoting healthy libido. If you notice that you’ve become less interested in sex, this could be a direct result of low T. It isn’t uncommon for men to experience this as they grow older. However, if you have an abnormally low sex drive in your 20s, 30s, or early 40s, you may have a hormone deficiency to blame.
Often, low libido goes hand in hand with erectile dysfunction. When your testosterone levels are lower than normal, you may also have difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection. This is because the sex hormone triggers your brain to produce nitric oxide, a molecule that causes you to have an erection. Without adequate testosterone, your brain won’t receive the necessary signals to create nitric oxide, causing you to struggle to get or maintain an erection.
It’s important to consult your physician if you’re concerned about low libido or erectile dysfunction. Although low T is a common cause of these disorders, you’ll want to rule out any other medical conditions before visiting a Dallas, Texas, testosterone center. Other possible causes of erectile dysfunction include diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, depression, stress and high cholesterol. Your testosterone levels may also drop if you’ve suffered a recent injury or are taking certain types of medication.
Testosterone and Muscle Mass
When you think about testosterone, your mind probably goes to physical strength as well. This is for good reason. Testosterone plays a crucial role in building proteins essential to stimulating muscle growth. Studies have even shown that increased levels of this hormone can help keep muscle loss at bay, particularly among aging men. If your hormone levels are lower than they should be, you may notice a difference in your muscle size. Depending on the severity of your deficiency, this can be a barely noticeable change or a more pronounced decrease.
It’s worth noting that a reduction in muscle mass is not correlated with a decrease in muscle function. Even if you notice that your muscles seem smaller than they used to be, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll also see a drop in muscle strength. If you’re concerned about a significant difference in muscle mass, looking into potential remedies to rectify the issue is a good idea. Whether you prefer at-home testosterone injections or visiting a clinic, be sure to choose the appropriate solution for your needs.
Testosterone and Sleep Hygiene
A lesser-known effect of low testosterone is poor sleeping habits. Many men who struggle with a hormone deficiency adopt irregular sleeping patterns due to changing energy levels. If you feel fatigued even after getting a full eight hours of sleep, this can cause you to oversleep to increase your energy levels. As a result, your sleep habits may be off balance due to low testosterone.
Meanwhile, some men have the opposite problem. A hormone imbalance can also cause difficulty falling or staying asleep. If you take longer than usual to fall asleep or frequently wake up in the middle of the night, this could be a result of low testosterone levels. Insomnia can be a frustrating condition that interferes with your routine during waking hours, so it’s important to address it with the proper treatment.
According to research, there may also be a link between low T and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a form of sleep apnea characterized by blocked airways, which can cause irregular breathing during sleep. This chronic sleep condition often leads to daytime sleepiness and difficulty concentrating, harming work performance and other aspects of your daily life.
Testosterone and Mental Well-Being
In addition to all the physical changes that accompany a testosterone deficiency, this condition can affect your mental health as well. Men with low testosterone often experience persistent feelings of anxiety, irritation, depression or restlessness. Mood changes may not be as easily noticeable as physical changes like reduced muscle mass and hair loss. However, awareness of your mental state is important, as it may hold hidden clues to your hormone health.
The extent to which low T affects mood varies from one man to the next. You might experience mood swings, or you may find yourself trapped in a state of depression or anxiety for a prolonged period. Depression is a widespread mental illness among men with low testosterone. Some of the key symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, changes in appetite, irregular sleeping habits and lack of energy.
If you’ve noticed any significant mood changes, reach out to a trusted mental health specialist. It’s crucial to understand the root cause of your depression or anxiety so that you can take the proper steps to remedy it. If low testosterone is the reason behind your poor mental health, we highly recommend visiting a reputable clinic in Dallas, Texas, to boost your hormone levels in a safe, professional setting.
Testosterone and Bone Health
Low testosterone can impact your bone health as well. One of the most common conditions that weakens bones is osteoporosis, a disease characterized by reduced bone strength and mass. Individuals with osteoporosis suffer from weak and brittle bones. Although this condition primarily targets women, men with low testosterone can also be at risk of developing it. This is because testosterone helps produce and strengthen bone and build muscle mass. Insufficient levels of this hormone can, therefore, hurt your bone volume.
Reduced bone mass is linked to a wide range of health problems. Men with a testosterone deficiency are typically at a higher risk of bone fractures due to low bone volume. Another key symptom of osteoporosis is back pain, which can cause significant discomfort in men’s day-to-day lives. To protect yourself from these unpleasant symptoms and keep your bones strong, be sure to schedule an appointment at a testosterone clinic near me.
Testosterone and Energy Levels
There is a strong correlation between testosterone and energy levels. If your hormone levels drop, you may feel more lethargic or sluggish than usual. It isn’t uncommon for men with low T to wake up exhausted, even after eight hours of sleep. If you’re sleeping fine but still struggle to get through your daily activities due to low energy, you may have a hormone deficiency to blame. Exhaustion and fatigue can make it challenging to complete even simple tasks, so talk to your doctor to identify the root cause of your symptoms.
If your energy levels fall, you might also be less motivated to work out. Paradoxically, a lack of exercise can make you feel more fatigued. It’s worth noting, however, that you should consider what’s normal for you. For example, if you typically head to the gym on a daily basis, you might notice a change in energy levels if you find yourself going less often or stopping going altogether. Being aware of what’s normal and abnormal for you will allow you to address your hormone deficiency properly.

Testosterone and Hair Health
Testosterone also plays an integral role in hair production. If your hormone levels are balanced, you likely don’t need to worry about losing hair until you grow older. Your testosterone levels naturally drop as you age, and the age at which you start to lose hair is also primarily determined by your genes. Overall, hair loss is simply an expected part of the aging process for most men. However, if you’re already experiencing noticeable and abnormal hair loss at a relatively young age, it’s likely a result of a hormone deficiency.
It’s also worth noting that hair loss due to low T doesn’t exclusively affect the hair on your head. Not only might you come across bald spots on your head, but you may also notice a sudden loss of facial or body hair. Hair loss due to low T tends to happen more abruptly than it would during the natural aging process. If this symptom is sudden and alarming to you, be sure to talk to your doctor to rule out any possible medical conditions that may be contributing to your hair loss.
Testosterone and Anemia
In some cases, low levels of testosterone may even adversely affect your blood health. Some studies have suggested that this hormone deficiency may increase your risk of anemia. Anemia is a medical disorder in which a person’s blood lacks an adequate number of healthy red blood cells. In some situations, this condition may even prevent the body’s organs from receiving a proper supply of oxygen. Some of the most common symptoms of anemia include dizziness or lightheadedness, fatigue, skin pallor, shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping and a rapid heartbeat.
Increasing your testosterone levels at a trusted clinic may help replenish your body’s red blood cells. This, in turn, can help alleviate some of the symptoms of anemia. However, if you notice any of the above symptoms, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor first. This preventative measure will help ensure you aren’t suffering from a different medical condition. If you’ve ruled out all other possible conditions, don’t hesitate to visit our testosterone clinic in Dallas, TX, to receive the professional care you need.
Live a Healthier Life With Professional Hormone Therapy at Our Texas Testosterone Center

Dear Forestville Families,
We are writing to ask for “15 minutes of your time” to complete an online survey that will help us improve Forestville School and Academy. We have asked YouthTruth – a nonprofit organization that supports hundreds of schools and districts across the country – to conduct an anonymous survey on our behalf. This survey is being given to parents of school aged children across Sonoma County. You will have the opportunity to provide feedback for our school in areas like culture, engagement, relationships, communication & feedback, school safety, and resources. For more information about this survey, please visit http://youthtruthsurvey.org, or speak with your child’s principal.
Please take the survey before it closes at midnight on FRIDAY, JANUARY 27th, 2023 by clicking this link: ytsurvey.org/fusdfamily23.
The survey needs to be completed in one sitting.
We ask that one member of each household fill out the survey.
If you have more than one child who attends the same school, you may respond to the survey multiple times – one time per child.
If you write any comments, please do not include your name or anything else that might identify you. Your responses are anonymous, and they will be combined with the responses of other parents and guardians before being shared back with school and district leadership.
We sincerely thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Your response is incredibly valuable to us.
If you have any questions about the survey, or our plans for how we will use your feedback, please contact Matt Dunkle, Superintendent/Middle School Principal or Jennifer Hegenbart, Elementary Principal.

The 4 “Rs” of Disaster Recovery
Organizations can be impacted by a natural or manmade disaster at any time. Having an effective approach to disaster recovery (DR) can help banks and credit unions meet their regulatory obligations, better protect themselves from the impact of a significant negative event and enhance their ability to bounce back and continue operating in the aftermath of a disaster.
There are four “R’s” when it comes to disaster recovery that every financial institution should focus on: Recovery Time Objective (RTO); Recovery Point Objective (RPO); Replication; and Recurring Testing. Here’s why each of them is integral to DR:
RTO, the longest acceptable length of time that a computer, system, network, or application can be down after a disaster happens, is a crucial facet of DR. Established RTOs essentially represent trade-offs, with shorter RTOs requiring more resources and ongoing expenses. When setting RTOs, prioritizations must be made based on the significance of the business function and budgetary constraints. Ideally, financial institutions will have RTOs predetermined before a disaster strikes, and the RTOs will be included in the institution’s Business Impact Analysis (BIA) as part of the business continuity planning process. Following a disaster, the recovery process will depend on the type of institution, technology solutions, and business functions as well as the amount of data involved. Institutions with an outside vendor guiding their disaster relief efforts typically have a more streamlined and less stressful recovery process.
The RPO represents the amount of time between a disaster occurring and a financial institution’s most recent backup. If too long, and too much data is allowed to be lost, it could result in substantial damage. Essentially, the RPO will be determined by the institution’s technology solution and risk tolerance. The Information Security Officer (ISO) and management must define exactly how long they are willing to go without having a copy of their data available. As banks and credit unions become more dependent on technology, however, their tolerance for not having critical functions available shrinks. Increasingly, financial institutions are turning to outside vendors to bolster their recovery solutions, but they must ensure that those third-party providers are adequately equipped to satisfy their RPO requirements.
Effective DR replication is essential because it allows an exact copy of an institution’s data to be available and remotely accessible when an adverse event happens. DR requires the duplication of data and computer processing to take place in a location not impacted by the disaster. The best practice is to have one backup onsite and another offsite in a different geographic region—somewhere that is not likely to be affected by the same disaster. Options for recovery can take various forms: fully redundant systems at alternate sites; cloud-based recovery solutions (either internally developed or outsourced); another data center; or a third-party service provider; according to the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC).
Recurring testing allows banks and credit unions to pinpoint key aspects of their DR strategy and adjust as needed to accomplish their objectives. Thorough testing of a financial institution’s core applications should be done annually — while they are functioning normally — to generate the most meaningful feedback. The institution should employ a variety of tests and exercises to verify its ability to quickly resume vital business operations in a disaster situation. Regular testing can reveal possible problems in the institution’s DR plan so that it can immediately address these issues. The aim is not necessarily to pass each test or exercise, but rather to find and fix flaws before a disaster occurs.

The Center for Research in Accounting and Taxation (CICF), is a scientific research unit, created on March 30, 2007, by resolution of the Scientific Council of the School of Management of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave (IPCA), which studies the areas of Accounting and Taxation, integrated in the School of Management (ESG) of the IPCA.
The CICF mission is to contribute to knowledge in the scientific areas of Accounting and Taxation through the production of quality applied research and the dissemination and transfer of knowledge to society.
The creation and dynamisation of the CICF has made it possible to consolidate the research carried out in the areas of Accounting and Taxation. With the established relations between the CICF and other national and international scientific research institutions, it is intended to foster and improve scientific research applied to the national context.
The CICF also intends to maintain permanent contact with economic agents, emphasizing the implementation of applied research projects in the local regions. Cooperative relationships are maintained with public and private organizations for the development of these projects.
It is also a strategic goal of the CICF to maintain a relationship of cooperation and interaction with the Portuguese professional associations representing the area of Accounting and Taxation, namely the Chamber of Official Accountants (CTO), the Order of Chartered Accountants (OROC) ) and the Association of Professionals of the Tax and Customs Inspection (APIT), among others.
The strategic objectives are summarized below:
• Develop R & D activities in the areas of accounting and taxation based on strategic partnerships with national and international institutions;
• Promote the interdisciplinarity of scientific and applied research carried out and contribute to advanced training in accounting and taxation;
• Produce R & D activities and results with practical and academic input, in accordance with the CICF mission;
• Contribute to reduce the gap between theory and practice of accounting and tax systems, focusing on methodologies more oriented to applied research;
• Promote the activities of dissemination and transfer of knowledge between the academic and business world;
• Publish research results in high-quality scientific journals (for dissemination in the academic world) and in journals of national circulation oriented to the Portuguese business context; publish also in books and chapters of books of international circulation as well as in reports and technical books for a greater practical contribution;
• Encourage effective members to present their research findings at international and national events in the fields of accounting and taxation (conferences, congresses, seminars, workshops, etc.);
• Develop projects oriented to the business world through partnerships with companies and organizations in the region.
With the aim of promoting interdisciplinary research in partnership with other institutions, the CICF is composed of a multidisciplinary team, integrating effective members with doctorates in the scientific fields of the center, with institutional link in the IPCA and in nine other institutions of higher education. The North, Center and Lisbon regions are represented in the Center. This collaboration enables the creation of synergies and competitive advantages for the business community in the regions and for national and international research in the fields of Accounting and Taxation, promoting partnerships with local, national and international players and improving the effective rationalization of resources the mission and the strategic objectives of the CICF.
It should be stressed that this Center will contribute significantly to affirming and sustaining the strategy that has been advocated by the Portuguese governments and the OECD countries to increase the advanced training and quality of research in the areas of Accounting and Taxation with the objectives of promote transparency, accountability and quality of financial and non-financial information on the performance of organizations.
In order to promote applied research and deepen knowledge on the most relevant and emerging topics of Accounting and Taxation, adding value in the CICF’s core areas, the CICF is structured in four research groups: (1) Public Accounting, (2) Accounting and Social Responsibility, (3) Financial and management accounting and (4) Taxation. We can emphasize the main research objectives to be followed by these groups:
• Promote transparency, accountability and quality of performance information for different users and purposes;
• Contribute to the sustainability and social responsibility of organizations by focusing on a triple bottom line: economic, social and environmental;
• Contribute to the knowledge of the accounting procedures ontology;
• Understand and contribute to reduce the gap between theory and practice of management accounting and control systems;
• Promote a multidisciplinary approach between the different areas of accounting and accounting;
• Contributing to the public discussion and debate on tax and accounting policy, in the national context, as well as in the international context, with the territorial and strategic vision on the regions of influence of the CICF and the vision of small and medium-sized companies that make up the Portuguese business fabric (SMEs).

Tips For Remodeling a Mudroom
Have you been dreaming of a mudroom? Does your mudroom need an upgrade? Do you need more storage and functionality in this space? Remodeling a mudroom can be a fairly simple task and doesn’t have to break the bank. Depending on your situation you could even potentially add a mudroom to your home. This is an area of the home that is easily forgotten but serves a huge functional purpose, especially for those that live in an area with harsher seasons. If you are remodeling your mudroom, plan it out as best you can with your budget and these key components in mind. As with any remodel project, consult the help of a professional company that can help you navigate these main points.
A mudroom is a great place for additional storage. This can be a very functional family-friendly spot if it is planned out well. Consider bench seating for the convenience of taking off shoes and winter gear or even setting down a bag. You can utilize this space for additional storage under the bench seat. In addition to the bench seat, you could put cubbies above the space which can be used for individual storage for each person in your family.
Open or Closed off
Depending on your space placement and how you use it, you may want the mudroom closed off or keep it open for an open-flow concept. This is mostly decided upon because of personal preference. If it is a high-traffic area, you might want it closed off. If you are wanting to incorporate the ability to have it open or closed you can use a sliding barn door. This can help you determine if you want an open concept or closed concept depending on the day, season, and condition of the mudroom. During the holidays this can be especially helpful if you are hosting company.
Dallaire Realty in Green Bay offers this advice: Visual aesthetics are everything when you are working on a remodel. Just because it is called a mudroom doesn’t mean it can’t look beautiful. If there is an option to have natural lighting, use it! Natural lighting is everything when it comes to opening up a space. Keep the room coloring light and the decor minimal. For flooring consider a darker color that will help hide the dirt. You can do some kind of accent wall or wainscotting.
A mudroom can be created in almost any space. You don’t need the entirety of a whole room. Using built-in shelving with cubbies and a storage bench can help create your functional space to enter from the elements. Take all of these things into consideration as you begin your mudroom design. Even though this can be a small space remodel, get the help of a professional company that can help you have a successful remodeling experience.

Period pants design is emoji winner
A pair of period pants has been chosen as the winning design following a campaign to create a new period emoji by girls’ rights charity Plan International UK.
More than 54,600 people voted for their favourite design on the charity’s website, which also included a sanitary pad, a monthly calendar, period blood droplets and a uterus.
Launched at the end of May, the campaign aims to breakdown the stigma surrounding periods and make it easier for girls and women to talk about their period with friends, family and colleagues.
Celebrities including comedian Katherine Ryan, actor Sharon Horgan and author Kathy Lette are all backing the campaign, with Katherine Ryan tweeting a photo of herself with one of the emoji designs.
Best-selling author, Kathy Lette, said: “It’s unbelievable that there's an emoji for a floppy disk and tacos but not for something 800 million women and girls are experiencing on any given day.
“That's why I’m supporting Plan International UK’s campaign to introduce a period emoji because menstruation is completely normal and people shouldn’t feel shamed or embarrassed talking about it.
“Tampons are nothing more than freedom with strings attached.”
A recent poll by Plan International UK showed a demand for a period emoji in the UK, with nearly half of women aged 18-34 saying they would use an emoji – the popular digital icons used to represent everything from emotions to food – to represent their period, if there was one available.
Half of women in this age group also believe having a period emoji would make it easier for them to talk about their periods with female friends and partners.
The survey also showed that the stigma surrounding women and their period is stopping them talking about menstruation with the following groups:
- Two thirds of women don’t feel comfortable discussing their period with their dad or male friends.
- More than 1 in 10 women don’t feel comfortable talking about it with their female friends.
- A quarter of women don’t feel comfortable talking about it with their female peers at work.
- Only one third of women would feel happy to speak about it with their female superiors at work.
The winning design will now be submitted to the Unicode consortium, a California-based company that manages the distribution of emojis worldwide, before the closing deadline in September.
Lucy Russell, UK Girls’ Rights Campaign Manager at Plan International UK said: “It’s fantastic to see just how many people got behind this campaign and voted for their favourite design. I think it sends a powerful message that women do want an emoji which represents menstruation.
“We know that there are still taboos around periods and that can have a damaging impact on the lives of girls around the world. Many missing school because they face bullying or unfair treatment, or experiencing infections due to a lack of menstrual hygiene education and products.
We're not saying that an emoji would solve all of these problems, but it will start a conversation, and raise awareness of the challenges women and girls face worldwide – and that can only be a good thing.”

Take a second to reflect on your students – do some children always have a book in their hand? Are others constantly humming or singing? Do other students doodle while you’re speaking but pay attention when you draw on the board?
These are all examples of learning styles as demonstrated by Fleming & Mills in their four-part learning preferences model, commonly known as VARK: Visual, Auditory, Read/write, and Kinesthetic.
It’s important for teachers to both understand and accommodate these styles in the classroom, because once you know how these learning styles affect your students, you can use your interactive display more efficiently. Keep reading to learn more about the VARK model of learning styles.
V – Visual
Visual learners have a better grasp of information when it’s presented via maps, diagrams, flow charts, or hierarchies.
However, visual learners don’t just need pictures and charts; they need difficult concepts to be presented in completely different ways.
For example, words on a page might try to describe how many people prefer red kites, but a pie chart will make more sense to visual learners.
Visual learning in the modern classroom
ActivInspire, Promethean’s free teaching software, makes it easy to present information to visual learners. These tools are at your disposal if you need to share information in flipcharts or make images interactive.
Capture images and video with a swipe of your finger
Education technology should be so easy to use that it’s almost second nature. ActivInspire lets you screen-capture images and videos for closer inspection, which is particularly helpful in art and science lessons.
Capture images and videos with a swipe, then pull them onto the display so students can engage and interact with the lesson.
Closely examine 3D objects and models
When visual learners see images from different angles, they can commit the information to memory more easily.
With the XY Origin tool, you can change the rotation point of any object on a flipchart. This allows teachers and students to explore 3D objects and models in real-time.
A – Auditory
Aural or auditory learners prefer to hear information, whether they listen to someone else say it or they say it themselves.
The biggest misunderstanding with auditory learners is that they just need to hear information. Many people with this modality will remember concepts better if they speak them out loud to themselves or to a partner or group.
Auditory learning in the modern classroom
Supplementary audio podcasts
Offer auditory learners audiobooks or supplementary audio podcasts. Allow these students to hear the information repeatedly at their own pace.
At home, they can study by listening to audiobooks or podcasts and reciting the information they’re learning.
Class debates and discussions
Auditory learners also retain information more effectively when they speak. This is why organizing class discussions will increase participation among auditory learners.
As they participate in class debates, they activate the parts of their brain that transfer new concepts into familiar ones.
R – Reading and Writing
Students who learn best by reading and writing need to see the words on the screen or in a book while listening.
This modality includes learning by reading and by writing the information down. Interactive displays that allow students to write on the panel will engage this part of their brain.
Reading and writing in the modern classroom
Follow-along reading time
Reading and writing learners need words in front of them during reading time. That can be a physical book or words on the screen while the teacher reads it out loud.
As long as they can follow along, these learners will be able to participate.
Write stories or poetry that corresponds with the lesson
Think of new ways to help these learners recreate what they’re learning. Encourage them to write stories or poetry that match your teaching.
As they use words in this new way, they’re transforming the concepts into something they can explain.
K – Kinesthetic
This is also commonly called “hands-on learning.” It describes anyone who learns through experience and practice. The key to this learning style is to provide concrete examples they can see, manipulate, and actually do.
Kinesthetic learning in the modern classroom
Simulations with 3D graphics
Kinesthetic learners don’t have to hold the manipulatives in their hands, necessarily; they can work virtually as well. They will enjoy moving 3D objects around on the screen, zooming in and out, and looking at them from all points of view.
You can also simulate experiences for them. For example, instead of physical coins, allow students to move images of coins around on the screen as they count the money.
Conduct experiments (either online or in-Person) and discuss
Edtech also allows kinesthetic learners to conduct experiments and discuss their findings with the class. You can either set up in-person experiments or use the ActivInspire software to create online experiments.
As long as the students are actively involved in the experiments, they take control of their learning.
History of the theory
The idea behind learning styles is a theory that’s constantly evolving and changing as we gain more information about how students retain information. The history of the theory of VARK modalities is fascinating and shows how much educators care about their students.
Dr. Maria Montessori was one of the first educators to pioneer the idea of different learning styles. Dr. Montessori was an Italian educator and scientist who established a childcare center in a poor, inner-city district of Rome. She created an educational environment for children who many thought were unable to learn.
She did this by focusing on how children learn at each stage of their development, teaching them right where they were.
In 1956, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom published his taxonomy. He worked with his colleagues to create a system that classified the levels of cognitive function.
This taxonomy began to provide structure for educators. From the lowest order of thinking skills (general knowledge) to the highest order (evaluation), it helped educators create lessons that build on each other appropriately.
In 1962, Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers, researched personality types. Together, they published their research and created the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The MBTI sought to describe how people perceive their world and judge it. Everyone has a unique personality that falls on a spectrum within any number of combinations of the 16 personalities that Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Meyers established.
In the 1970s, Kenneth and Rita Dunn worked with the New York State Department of Education to help students improve learning outcomes. Their research discovered environmental, emotional, sociological, and psychological factors that affect learning.
In this case, learning style describes the time of day, mood, emotions, and other stimuli that affect children when they’re trying to learn.
In 1984, David Kolb emphasized that learning happens naturally. He created a Theory of Experiential Learning, which states the importance of students experiencing things in order to learn them.
Educational researchers Neil Fleming and Colleen Mills published the VARK theory in 1992. It gave us the words educators use to this day to describe how students learn best.
Some learn through hearing, others through charts and graphs, others by doing experiments, and others by reading and writing.
Promethean products support all learning styles
From on-screen image capture to 3D simulation, Promethean products are designed to reach all students, no matter their learning style. We listen to teachers’ greatest challenges in the classroom, and we create and adapt our products accordingly.

Well look who TLC got to replace the Gosselins. They are the Coles and some foks are calling them the new version of The Klumps. According to the folks over at Celebitchy:
Called “One Big Happy Family” it chronicles a family of four in North Carolina, The Coles, in which everyone is obese. Hearing about this concept made me uncomfortable as it sets off “exploitative” bells. Savannah resident Ruby Gettinger has a reality show on The Style Network and from what I’ve seen it’s a sympathetic look into what a very large person has to go through. If handled well this show could be similar. It’s probably full of scripted moments meant to highlight their “otherness” however, like the clip available on Radar in which the Coles realize they’re too big to go on a ride at a water park. I think we can safely assume that the outing was set up by producers to rap up the drama.
The show has really changed the Cole family’s outlook and health and they’re all losing weight and eating more fruits and veggies now. In an interview with Radar, they talk about their new healthy lifestyle. The Cole family is made up of mom Tameka, 36, 380 lbs, dad Norris, 41, 340 lbs, daughter Amber, 16, at 348 lbs and son Shayne, 14, 308 lbs.
While I’m excited to see a black family reality show (who is not a celebrity family) on tv, many black people are rantting that this is just another stereotypical exploitation of the black community. Overly obese and the typical “fat and happy” blacks being portrayed with comedy. Check out the clips and speak on it.

The genesis of the present day CIDT goes back two decades before the University of Wolverhampton itself. From teacher training in Agricultural colleges in the 1960s and vocational training of overseas agricultural teachers in the 1970s, an overseas unit of the Wolverhampton Technical Teacher’s College emerged. The commission of in-depth study programmes in the UK, by the Overseas Development UNIT of the UK (ODA) marked the start of today’s CIDT. The Unit trained over 700 overseas agricultural teachers and, during these early years, carried out its first overseas assignments providing technical assistance. By the end of the 1970s, it was a small but effective team with a growing track record and reputation for excellence in technical training in agriculture.
The Overseas Unit grew in strength and scope of its activities and by the mid-80s had become a semi-autonomous and self-financing unit within Wolverhampton Polytechnic. In 1984 the Overseas Unit was renamed the Agricultural Education and Training Unit (AETU) to clearly reflect the core work of the growing team. The AETU enjoyed partnerships in Fiji, Sudan, Nepal, Tanzania and Bangladesh to support capacity development of agricultural institutions.
Reflecting the paradigm shift in international development towards people-centred development, in the 1990s CIDT moved strongly into the environment sector, into social development and gender, and into formal school-based education, to complement its on-going adult education services. In 1993, a postgraduate PhD and Masters programme in Development Education was initiated and ran for 14 years. Competitive bidding for development work was becoming the norm, and CIDT won its first contract to manage a four year institutional strengthening project of the Solomon Islands College of Higher Education. In 1995, the AETU was renamed as the Centre for Rural Training and Development (CRDT).
Our work since the millennium
In the fast-changing global landscape, the Centre’s scope widened beyond rural development, as it responded to a broader set of needs and requests. Accordingly, in 2001, its name was changed to the one we use today: Centre for International Development and Training (CIDT). It became quite unique in the UK academic sector, as a university department of international development that is based not on teaching, rather that is a self-funded centre involved in a blend of consultancy and project/programme management services.
Reaching 40 years old is quite a milestone! Many factors have enabled CIDT to flourish over the years: we have stuck to our core values and offered grounded, practical experience in the field; our team has been flexible, able to respond to changing policy and practice environments; and we have the strong backing and structure of the University of Wolverhampton.
Over four decades of capacity strengthening in a wide range of settings has enabled us to feed lessons learnt and best practice from across the globe into ongoing projects. We have also built a reputation for excellence on the quality of our deliverables and a proven ability to deliver time-bound assignments to a very high standard.

Granular Roads Asset Management System (GRAMS) tool can aid agencies
Gravel roads account for more than 60 percent of the roads managed by Iowa counties. However, until now, there haven’t been readily available tools to help agencies evaluate granular material costs versus field performance.
To help agencies evaluate and optimize their operational strategies for their granular material purchases and use, researchers recently created the Granular Roads Asset Management System (GRAMS) spreadsheet tool.
Local agencies can use the tool to estimate annual gravel loss on a system-wide basis. The tool provides a range of options for varying budget conditions to estimate aggregate requirements under different roadway levels of service.
“Local agencies have traditionally used their previous experience and quick visual inspections to estimate their annual aggregate needs,” said Bora Cetin, who was the principal investigator on the GRAMS project. “We hope this tool will significantly help local agencies to better maintain and manage their granular roads, and further help them to defend their estimated materials needs and budget requests.”
The required input values are county name; roadway system properties such as length, width, and condition; and unit costs such as materials and hauling. There are additional optional input values, including material properties, desired level of service, and a range of maintenance options. The tool is sensitive to the roadway drainage condition, so caution is advised with that particular input parameter.
The tool was developed largely based on survey responses, empirical opinion, and a limited amount of historical performance data. To continue to improve the tool, researchers recommend that counties collect more data on their granular roadways and created a roadway condition report as part of its research project to assist operators in that effort.
Cetin, who is now an assistant professor at Michigan State University, is continuing his work with the IHRB to lessen wear and tear on granular roadways. One project is looking at using a material that can make soils water repellent, and another is looking at using new machinery to conduct strength tests on soil.

23 Email Marketing Tips to Improve Click-Through Rates
Do you send out email newsletters to your customers? Do you know what your click-through rates are? Click-through rate (CTR) is a key metric used to measure the effectiveness of email newsletters. It represents the percentage of people who clicked on a link within an email compared to the total number of people who received the email. CTR is important for several reasons:
- Engagement: A higher CTR indicates that subscribers are engaging with the content of the email and finding it interesting and relevant. This can help build a stronger relationship with subscribers and increase the likelihood that they will continue to open and engage with future emails.
- Conversions: Clicks on links within an email can lead to conversions, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. A higher CTR means more people are taking action as a result of the email, which can directly impact revenue and other key business metrics.
- List health: A low CTR can indicate that subscribers are not finding the email content relevant or interesting, which could lead to them unsubscribing or marking the email as spam. This can negatively impact the overall health of the email list and lead to decreased deliverability in the future.
Overall, a high CTR is a strong indicator that an email campaign is performing well and resonating with subscribers, which can lead to increased engagement, conversions, and long-term success.

Steve, Lisa, Amber, and Brooke Griswold with our friend Scott from CNN Channel 9 News, at Walt Disney World.
Griswold Family Vacation – Disney Edition
We love Walt Disney World so we have dedicated an entire section of our Griswold Road Trips to Disney Destinations. If you are planning a trip to Disney, check out our road trip videos, Disney travel tips, Disney money savings ideas, and latest news from the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line. You can also follow us on our Griswold Family Vacation YouTube Channel.
I Wanted to take my family on an Adventure
If you have not heard, I quit my job after 17 years. I wanted to take my family on an Adventure, not just a vacation. We took an Adventures by Disney on the AmaViola.
Car Masters Weekend at Downtown Disney
We did our first car show and it was at Walt Disney World, Car Masters Weekend. WOW, what an amazing event. I road tripped down 8 hours from Atlanta GA to Walt Disney World and had a blast. The event had over 100 cool cars, exhibits, Pixar Cars, a Pixar movie cars marathon at AMC, food trucks, Chip Foose, and so much more.
We actually won an award for the Griswold Family Truckster from Disney•Pixar’s Cars filmmaker Jay Ward and the great folks at Pixar and Disney.
Disneyland Paris – Castle Tour
We are on a true European Vacation and are at Disneyland Paris. Sleeping Beauties Castle is the most magnificent Disney park castle built and we are taking you on a walking tour of this fairytale castle. And a storybook castle is not complete without a dungeon and a dragon.
A Pirates League – Pirates of the Caribbean
Become a pirate, an empress, or a mermaid at the Pirates League over in Adventureland. We took the kids to be transformed and had a great time. If you are looking for something extra special and different to try at Disney World, be sure to watch our Griswold Family Vacation video on the Pirates League.
Pinocchio’s Daring Journey – Pinocchio’s Voyage Ride Along Disneyland Paris
Disneyland Paris has a Pinocchio’s Voyages in Fantasyland. This is a classic dark ride originally opening at Disneyland in CA. In this first person point of view video you will board a wooden car and enter Stromboli’s Marionette show and avoid the cost of a flight to Disneyland Paris 🙂 We will be creating more Disney ride along videos from our Eurpoean Vacation, so please subscribe to our Griswold Vacation Road Trip YouTube Channel
Festival of Fantasy Disney Parade
I know I love to get on the rides normally when the parade is going down the street at the Magic Kingdom, but Disney has a new 3 o-clock daytime parade and I have to say, you don’t want to miss it! The Festival of Fantasy parade has big over the top floats, lavish costumes and a show stopping mechanical dragon that just plain cool.
Disney Magic Bands – FastPass+
On your next Disney World vacation you will get Disney MagicBands in your Walt Disney World Vacation package. These come as part of your Disney vacation package for onsite Disney World Resort guests. If you are staying at a Non-Disney owned resort, or “Off-Property” You can purchase a MagicBand at any of the Walt Disney World theme parks. The MagicBands are $12.95 but are not needed if you just want to use your park ticket for admission and FastPass+ access.
Griswold Road Trip TIP – Disney Cruise Line
If you are looking for a new family road trip adventure this summer, try a cruise! We took the truckster down to Miami Florida to check out Disney’s newly re-imagined Magic Cruise Ship. The highlight is the new water attractions and the Aqua Dunk.
Disney Seven Dwarfs Mine Train – POV
Lisa got invited to ride Disney’s Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at the Walt Disney World Media Event. She had a blast and did a great job capturing this video from the very front row so you can ride now too.
Disney MagicBands Tips
When you get your Disney World Magic Bands you can resize them and decorate them with Disney Bandits, Magic Sliders, and CoverBands. Here are some Disney MagicBands tips.
Baby Cakes Review at Downtown Disney
Before the Truckster we were doing fun reviews, mostly at Disney World. Here is one of our first reviews of the Baby Cakes Bakery that opened at Downtown Disney.
Lisa Griswold interviews Pepe from The Muppets
Lisa and I had the pleasure of meeting Pepe from The Muppets while on the Disney Fantasy, Disney’s newest cruise ship. This interview makes me laugh every time I watch it. And if you have not tried the Muppet interactive game that you can play on the Disney Fantasy or Disney Dream cruise ship, it’s a must do.
Griswold Family Vacation – Walt Disney World
We took a family vacation to Walt Disney World in our new Griswold Family Truckster. Disney filmed this awesome piece. Here is the video.
Come Road Trip with us…
You can also see us on The Disney Blog, CNN, MSN, NBC, etc

November 2, 2022 Social Media Strategy for Churches
Use your social media strategy to increase engagement with your guests through Facebook, Instagram and more.
Having the opportunity to work with dozens of churches each year has taught us a lot. As they’ve learned about creative marketing and communications from us, we’ve learned about their hearts for ministry and the day to day struggles that come along with working in it.
We’ve learned about what works and what doesn’t—in a lot of different areas! Today, we’re taking a look at an area that you either love or hate. That’s right folks, it’s social media.
As far as I can tell, churches love social media. One thing they don’t usually love is trying to develop a strategy or allocating the time it takes to create content for social media.
And that’s fair, it’s hard to see the impact you and your church are having through a screen. But rest assured, you’re making a bigger impact than you know! You and your work matter, including what you do on social media. The people are there, so let’s go and connect with them on purpose.
Decide your content buckets.
Perhaps the most daunting part of being in charge of corporate church social media accounts is what you’re going to post each day, week and month. Depending on the season, it can be quite difficult! Let’s talk about a way to help make that process a little easier.
Deciding which content buckets (or topics) are an essential part of your church (and therefore social media presence) to post on routinely.
We’ve put together a few choices below that you may consider pulling from:
- Current sermon series or topic
- The Gospel
- Encouragement for your people
- Current or upcoming campaigns (event, holiday, next step or giving drive)
- Value-based content and resources
- Getting to know your pastors and staff team
Determine your voice.
The voice of your social media platforms can be difficult to pin down. Should they all be the same … or different? Should they be the voice of your Lead Pastor? What about each ministry?
Those are all great questions to ask, and ultimately up for you to decide. At Fishhook, we’d recommend that each social media account (for your church, pastor and ministries) have a unique element to their voice.
If they all sound the exact same, they may as well be under the same account. If they’re going to be separated, you should give them a unique voice that best reaches that account’s primary audience.
While we do recommend a unique distinction between voices, we do not recommend using different language across each account. Common language will make communication to your audiences unified and clear.
So to summarize things, account voices should be unique but united through common language.
Try a few things.
Be open to some experimentation! Social media is always evolving and so is your audience. If you’ve gotten into a comfortable rhythm on social media, so has your audience (and that could mean less engagement)!
Here are a few things to try experimenting with:
- Post time. Try publishing posts at different days and times to see what works best!
- Post type. Have you been focusing on graphics? Trying blending in some fresh photography or maybe some video!
- Keep it reel. While content in your grid or feed are key, adding in Reels (on Instagram) and Stories (on both Facebook and Instagram) will boost your social engagement. Social platforms are loving these and giving them more prominence within their platforms.
And don’t be afraid to fail! Some posts and new things won’t work, and that’s okay. You’ll learn a lot when they do. And for every failure, there’ll be a success story to match it.
Make things unique!
Publishing the same content across all of your social media platforms may be tempting. It’s easy, it’s fast and it’s all we have time for. But, it’s not usually the best way to increase engagement.
Here are some ways to make your content unique across platform to grow your audience and engagement:
- Text only posts on Facebook are performing well.
- Reels on Instagram (90 seconds and under videos) are seeing strong engagement.
- Graphic carousels are a good way to engage your audience.
- Shorter videos perform better with engagement across all platforms.
- Posts catering towards relatable, need-based content can be a unique way to reach people. Give your audience what they need in this season.
Making your content unique across multiple platforms incentivizes your audiences to engage with each of them. If your content is the same everywhere, they’ll choose just one to engage with instead of all of them.
Don’t let it become an afterthought.
Social media management is not easy, especially with more and more platforms seeming to be a relevant part of the puzzle. It requires a lot of time, effort and strategizing to make it work and really engage your audience.
One of the best things you can do on social media is to keep putting the effort in. During busy seasons, it can be easy to stop prioritizing social media if managing it falls on one person or a small team.
It may require some tough conversations, but your social media accounts cannot be sacrificed so that other programs or work can be done. It’s too important!
Social media is the best way for your church to communicate and minister to people throughout the week. Does that sound like something that should be abandoned? Not to us!
See the people on the other side of the screen.
Above all else, don’t forget the focus of why we use social media. Social media is the best tool the church can use to reach people when they aren’t in the building on Sunday.
Because of that, we need to give it the time, attention and strategy it needs to be an extension of your church and its efforts to reach people for Jesus.
If you ever need help with social media, either in execution or strategy, Fishhook is here for you! We’d be happy to have a conversation about what’s going on in social, or about your church’s specific situation.
We see you—church and communications leader! You and your work in this space matters.
