CEO Coupe says trading is challenging
Sainsbury's signals start of new price war as sales dip
Terry Murden, Editor | January 7, 2015
Price cutting by the supermarkets has impacted on trading figures at Sainsbury's which today announced a slight fall in revenue over the Christmas period.
Sales on a like-for-like basis excluding fuel fell by 1.7% over the three months to 3 January and the 3.9% when lower petrol prices are included.
Mike Coupe, chief executive, said customers were benefiting from lower prices and he announced that 700 products would be included this week as part of a £150 million round of discounts announced in November, taking the total to around 1,000.
"Food price deflation and falling fuel prices have enabled our customers to treat themselves over the festive period," he said.
Rival supermarket chains are expected to follow suit in what is likely to be the beginning of a new price war. Tesco is expected to unveil a range of cuts to prices when it reports tomorrow, alongside a swathe of job cuts and office closures.
In its trading update, Sainsbury's said it experienced a record-breaking week before Christmas with more than 29.5 million customer transactions.
Coupe, who succeeded Justin King last year, said the trend of more frequent and local shopping continues and with growth of more than 16% in Sainsburys' convenience business in the quarter. The biggest ever day for sales in convenience stores was on Christmas Eve when the stores took £8m.
The groceries online business had its biggest Christmas. In the three days to 23 December, it delivered more than 110,000 orders.
Clothing and general merchandise businesses traded strongly over the quarter, with the clothing business up nearly 10% year-on-year. The company sold more than twice the number of Christmas jumpers compared to last year and the 'snowman' jumper, designed by an employee, was the best-seller by volume.
Sainsburys opened 25 convenience stores and refurbished a further seven in the quarter. It also opened four supermarkets, one extension and one replacement store, and refurbished seven supermarkets.
Coupe said the outlook for the remainder of the financial year will remain challenging, with food price deflation likely to continue.
"Our performance in the third quarter showed an improving trend quarter-on-quarter. However, given the uncertainty in the trading environment, food price deflation and the price reductions we announced this week, we currently expect our fourth quarter like-for-like to be similar to that of our first half. "
Phil Dorrell, director of the retail consultancy Retail Remedy, said: "These numbers were marginally better than expected, but still highlight the challenges facing Sainsbury's and the rest of the big four.
"Sainsbury's is under attack from all angles — from the discounters who are going from strength to strength, food price deflation, a wounded Tesco and a Morrisons that may finally be starting to halt its own sales freefall.
"Like-for-like sales slump aside, there is a lot Sainsbury's does right. It has smaller stores than its competitors, a strong convenience business, a solid online proposition and some of the best own-label stats in the business. Taste the Difference is really starting to make a difference.
"If it concentrates on these qualities and sticks to the basics in the medium-term, it may well emerge in better shape than many expect.
"Sainsbury's has already made some concessions on price, with over 1000 basic lines being trimmed this week alone, so it clearly recognises the battle is currently in that area.
"If Sainsbury's attempts to duke it out with the big boys, it could take one hell of a beating. Even though the Netto experiment is interesting, it's certainly no saviour yet.
"Focusing overly on price could damage the reputation for quality Sainsbury's has built up over the years. Our concern is the erosion of margin that three years of £150m price investment will result in for Sainsbury's.
"It can't afford to cut corners on quality, it's not in a position to make many workforce savings, and it's no Asda, so either the suppliers have got to play ball or margins are going to be squeezed.
"Where price falls follow revenue falls, expect the inevitable profit fall, too."

The Semperoper's new staging of R. Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos is not limited to what happens on stage. On arriving at the theatre's foyer, one could see a group of people in tuxedos and long dresses having dinner to the sound of live chamber music. One would discover later that these are the guests to the dinner party in the house of Vienna's richest man in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's libretto. As the butler insists to say, the main event in this soirée is going to be the fireworks. As we left the theatre, the usher did not fail to hand out sparklers to all members in the audience. Does that mean that director David Hermann faithfully followed every word written by Hofmannsthal? Even if the action is updated to our days, Mr. Hermann showed unusual care to the libretto. For instance, according to the text, the lord of the house gave clear instructions that the actors in the vaudeville were supposed to "decorate" the depressing sets of the opera, but what one usually sees is Zerbinetta and her troupe appearing on stage only when they have to sing. Not here. As asked by their patron, the comedians are practically continuously on stage – and Mr. Hermann really had to use his imagination to make that work. And, well, it did work. The clash of neoclassical and rococo aesthetics as represented by commedia dell'arte and opera seria are in the core of this mise-en-scène's concept. The problem of a production so observant of the author's original ideas is that the eventual liberty taken by the director cannot help being at-your-face conspicuous. For instance, the gender-ambiguous Composer or the Bacchus in his ordinary clothes who seems to have transcended the limits of role-playing and acquired some sort of hyperconsciousness that allows him to "operate" the stage à la "Matrix". It seems that the director at some point decided that he should add some sort of insight to the proceedings, but it did feel rather "added upon" than "built from within". In any case, this is a beautiful staging with plenty of clever scenic solutions and careful Personenregie – and it could have perfectly done without the "interpretative touch of genius".
If there is a repertoire in which Christian Thielemann can do no wrong this is Richard Strauss. The kind of orchestral sound this music requires is something that he is naturally able to obtain from an orchestra, especially the one Strauss himself called the Wunderharfe. Tonight, the audience was treated the most exquisite orchestral playing in the market. Mr. Thielemann's main purpose this evening seemed to be absolute clarity, but not in the sense of "making everything hearable" , but rather in that of revealing the meaning behind every phrase in this score. A deaf person would have left the auditorium knowing the complete structure of thematic relations devised by the Bavarian composer. During the prologue, I could not help thinking this was the Straussian performance of a lifetime, but the opera itself – good as it was – did not reach the same paramount level. Although Mr. Thielemann is one of the most solid conductors of our days, there is something pretty much beyond his reach, and this is "relaxing". Ariadne auf Naxos will always be a tough cookie, for reconciling the burlesque and the grandiose in the opera will always be a challenge, especially for typically Wagnerian conductors. Although I fully endorse Mr. Thielemann's idea of making the comedy episode more serious by keeping a more regular beat and a considerate tempo (and a certain fullness of sound), when Ariadne and Bacchus are alone at last, instead of regaining the flexibility shown in the prologue and the even at the first part of the opera, the tendency to make things more serious had already gained too much momentum to be contained. By the end, the impression was rather of ponderousness. Had he been able to boost the volume of his orchestra, this could have somehow worked in a very Siegfried-ian way, but his cast was hanging fire by then and there was no other option but to rein in.
I have always believed that there is some sort of curse involved the title role in this opera. It is almost never marvelously sung, even when a great soprano is indeed cast. For instance, Krassimira Stoyanova was a very good Marschallin in Salzburg, and the idea of g her as Ariadne seemed natural. On paper, her voice is perfect for the role. At first, it was all there: the creamy tone, the floated mezza voce, the low notes, the noble phrasing and even a special attention to the text. But the climax of Es gibt ein Rich already showed an opaque quality to her high notes whenever she sings above mezzo forte. In order to be heard in those moments, she had to employ a great deal of energy, with variable results. The sound has very little squillo these days and her only tool to ride the orchestra was really going full powers. In the difficult final scene, she was just too tired, the tone was gray and she had to adapt what R. Strauss wrote to reach the end of some phrases. That is indeed a pity, for, maybe in a better day, she could be a plausible exponent of this role. Her liability here was made more evident by the vocal opulence of her Bacchus, Stephen Gould at his most powerful and richest toned. This part is on the high side for his voice and I was worried by what he would make of it. He scored many points by producing perfect mezza voce in the high a in Weh, bist du auch solche eine Zauberin?, but started to get pinched until he finally omitted the high b flat* in his final phrase. In spite of that, Mr. Gould sang beautifully and I was glad I could hear him in this role.
Daniela Fally is an extremely light-toned Zerbinetta, rather on the soubrettish side of the soprano spectrum. She is a musicianly and intelligent singer, whose vivid handling of the text in her native language is highlighted by very clear diction, even when things get really high. Her coloratura is clear and her trills are acceptable. As many superlight Zerbinettas, she gets nervous when Strauss takes her above the high c. In this moments, the tone becomes glassy and her breath shorter. Other than this, she offered a charming and spirited performance. She was very well partnered by Rafael Fingerlos's Harlekin, with more than a splash of Olaf Bär in his light, dulcet baritone. Although Albert Dohmen's vowels are a bit overdark, he was in very good voice and sang forcefully as the Music Master. There was also a truly euphonious trio of nymphs in Tuuli Takala, Evelin Novak and Simone Schröder. Joseph Dennis and Carlos Osuna were probably the richest-toned pair of tenors ever to appear in Zerbinetta's troupe – and Alexander Pereira (yes, the Alexander Pereira) was a funny Haushofmeister.
I leave the best for last. As she was in Berlin, Daniela Sindram is a superlative, out-of-this-world Komponist. Her singing of this role is of golden age quality. As she is less famous than she deserved to be, I make a point of making it clear how much I appreciate her singing both here and in Der Rosenkavalier.


Goldstone is a type of glittering glass made in a low-oxygen reducing atmosphere.
Another common name for the material is aventurine glass, based on the original Italian name avventurina (from avventura, "adventure" or "chance") or "Monk's gold" or "Monkstone" from its associations with an unnamed monastic order.
Known as the Stone of Ambition, Goldstone can help you achieve your goals with persistence and determination.
Goldstone is associated with abundance, good luck, and games of chance. It is recommended for ambition, confidence, and evaluating risk. Also safe travel, trip planning, and enjoying life.
Goldstone can be used for energy work, physical vitality, and to charge other minerals.
Each of the spangles in goldstone is a microscopic copper crystal that formed as the glass cooled. Goldstone shares the metal's metaphysical properties: attracting abundance, harmonizing relationships, and creativity. Because copper is a good conductor of electricity, it is a popular tool to direct spiritual energy.


The last few months have been on overdrive with super crazy work and life changes. And you know that you really needed some time out when you get overwhelmingly emotional and teary about how beautiful a water garden is!
It felt like we had lost our rhythm a bit, but sometimes it takes losing your rhythm to find the beat.
One little but big moment can bring perspective and softness in to your thinking. To remind you that all good things do take time and to trust that.
Thank you all for taking the time to be on this journey with us, and look forward to sharing more creativity, curiosity and growth for many years to come. In this for the long haul.


Today I Wrote Nothing: Nothing but flower talk here; come on in!
You know what this? A photo of some random, unknown flowers growing in our back garden so that the thumbnail photo for this post is not a septic tank. YOU'RE WELCOME, YOUGUYS.
Now let's look at a septic tank!
I know we're paying to you to open that, but now I would like to pay you NOT to open that.
Uh. That can't be right.
The drive was soaking wet by the time he finished. I prefer not to think about how or why, especially not when I have better things to do, like pour bleach all over my shoes and set them on fire.
The best part was when he backed this massive truck down the lane and one of the little old man neighbours came out to watch. This is exciting stuff around here.
I have to say, the whole experience wasn't nearly as traumatising as I expected. It helped that the whole thing was brilliantly organised by My Super Fluent Friend Claire, whose grasp of French poop words is really unsurpassable. She now knows more about our septic system than we do, which is why we're going to have to will her our house. Apparently that's some French law? Claire knows everything.
It all happened surprisingly fast: the scheduled tech showed up in the morning, right on time, pried off the concrete manhole - for lack of a better word - cover from the tank, stuck that huge hose in, and half an hour later, was handing us an invoice to sign. He indicated we'd need to put more concrete back on top around the edge to seal it, otherwise it will - he eloquently communicated - * hold nose, fan air * So stay tuned for another episode of Country Life Adventures, when Al attempts his first concrete job!
When I first saw how many poles there were, my thought was to discard the idea entirely and play croquet with the mallets they provided. What even IS this??
It turns out putting up a pool is JUST LIKE putting up a tent, another task I don't enjoy. But once I figured it out, WHOOOOP, it came up as easily as a tank full of human feces.
Isn't it sweet? We only filled it knee-high because we just want enough water to sit in and read. We got it up in the nick of time, too - it got to 95 today and we were as hot as a pair of rotisserie chickens (there's a theme to this holiday). You just know that now we've got it up it's going to rain tomorrow.
I hope you've had nice days, and see you tomorrow!

What Are Google Expanded Ads?
In summary, expanded text ads are designed to cater for the mobile world that we now live in, for both users & advertisers. They have almost 50% more ad text space for you to highlight your products and services before people click into your ad. This provides the user with a better user experience, especially for users on mobile/tablet devices when on the go.
Expanded ads will be replacing standard text ads from 26th October 2016.
What's different about Expanded text ads?
The Expanded ads have two headlines, instead of one.
The additional headline option will enable you to include more text in your ads. You will have up to 30 characters per headline instead of the standard 25. The headlines will appear next to each other, separated by a hyphen. If the user's screen is small the headlines may move to a second line.
The two description lines have now been merged into one.
So, Instead of the two 35-character description lines, The expanded ads have one 80-character description line.
The display URL domain will now be based on the final URL domain.
So, you will no longer have to enter your display URL when creating a new ad, This has been being phased out for some time. AdWords will now use the domain from your final URL, then give an option to combine with the Path fields. Path fields will be added to the display URL, after the main domain.
Below is an example of the how the new Expanded ads will look, including the path options.
In this example, www.Sleepinggiantmedia.co.uk/Award-Winning/PPC-SEO-Social is the display URL, and Award-Winning & PPC-SEO-Socal are the path text.
Your text ads will now be mobile optimized!
As the expanded ads will be mobile optimise you will no longer have to select the mobile device setting when creating/editing a text ad. You will see a preview of your ad in both desktop & mobile format when you are generating the expanded ad.
You can add these in AdWords directly.
As you create your ads you will see the preview to the right for desktop and mobile. Once you are happy, go go go!
If you are adding expanded ads alongside your standard text ads, we would recommend labelling the expanded ads so you are able to compare these against your standard ads.
You can also add these via the AdWords editor. The most recent version is AdWords Editor 11.5 and when you update you will see the expanded ads option. The AdWords Editor also enables you create & edit expanded text ads at scale, making it easier to migrate all of your standard text ads before October.

Investigation on the Relationship between Wave Propagation Speed and Vibration Frequency in Concrete Floors using Nonlinear Regression Model
M. Royvaran, S. Javadinasab Hormozabad, M. Gutierrez Soto, B. Davis
While dealing with structures equipped with operating mechanical devices, keeping the machinery-induced vibrations below the acceptable limits is of enormous importance. The fundamental step to controlling undesirable vibrations in such structures is to localize the vibration source. The accuracy of locating the source of vibration using different methods, e.g., Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) or Steered Response Power (SRP) method, depends on accurate estimation of the propagation speed. The propagation speed is a function of vibration frequency. The objective of this study is to investigate a nonlinear regression model to obtain the relationship between Wave Propagation Speed (WPS) and the vibration frequency on a concrete floor. The development of this relationship is based on a series of experiments on a concrete floor in a building using a shaker as a vibration exciter, and four accelerometers to record vertical vibration. First, the shaker generates sinusoid forces with a specific frequency and the accelerometers, configured collinearly, record acceleration measurements. Then, the WPS is estimated using cross-correlation to measure the time difference of arrival between pairs of accelerometers. This process is repeated for a range of frequencies resulting in a dataset that includes the vibration frequency as independent and the WPS as dependent variables. The relationship between speed and frequency is then optimally estimated using a nonlinear regression model.

Sometimes developing your practice can feel complicated. So many ideas, so many things you could be doing.
But really there's just a handful of questions to answer. They're the leverage points, where a small tweak can have big results.
Here's a simple flow chart to make it easy for you and speed you on your way.
Making decisions — without a lot of churning around — is key to creating the kind of practice (and life) you want.
What's more, unmade decisions weigh you down. They create clutter, overwhelm, and stuckness.

You're Never Too Old to Become a Kidult
Categories: Economic Philosophy
By Bryan Caplan, Mar 31 2008
If you think that James Hamilton is just a brilliant quant, think again: He's also a sensitive humanist. Here's a moving tale of his father-in-law's last year:
Jack's last year was not an easy one. Everything was becoming increasingly difficult, and he came to spend most of his time in front of the TV watching nothing in particular. Margie and I were trying to figure out what we could do to bring some richness and meaning back to his life.
Our last inspiration was based on Jack's childhood hobby– model trains. They still had a big collection of these packed up in boxes in the garage. Margie and I spent several weekends moving furniture around and constructing a big table that might serve as a train room. We thought of it as a long shot– Jack was losing interest in so much– but it seemed worth giving it a try.
The project turned out far more successfully than we had dreamed. Jack returned to the hobby with his boyhood passion, and spent almost all of his time in the room that was now all his. He threw his energy into painting the table and organizing the layout.
It turned out, in short, that Jack was a late-blooming kidult – and Hamilton showed him the way. Well done.

2015-2016 Fellow
Emily Stebbins
Placement: Strategy, Marketing and Operations
Preceptors: James Cardon, MD, President, Integrated Care Partners, Vincent DiBattista, President, Hartford HealthCare Medical Group, James Blazar, SVP, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer,
Major Projects: Readmissions Analysis, Development of Medical Group Call Center, Provider Recruitment, Crimson Medical Referrals
Current Role: Director, Access Optimization & Integration, Hartford HealthCare Medical Group
Testimonial: I first learned about Hartford HealthCare when Elliot Joseph, CEO, visited the University of Michigan School of Public Health to speak about the health system's market strategy, leadership behaviors, and focus on population health. I decided to pursue a fellowship with the organization based on the opportunities within the growing organization to learn and create, as well as the culture the leadership was driving across the organization through the H3W (How Hartford HealthCare Works) leadership behaviors. I wanted to be a part of an organization that was driving change in its markets, constantly innovating, and that understood the importance of a strong culture. HHC is a great place for young professionals because it welcomes innovation and disruptive ideas, while at the same time is continuing to develop the foundation of the health system and its culture, offering many growth and learning opportunities.
During my fellowship, I was encouraged to gain experience in many areas and network with leaders across the system. I supported Marking and Communications, a Readmissions Reduction kaizen, and Physician Recruitment efforts, focusing primarily on the Medical Group. A highlight of my fellowship was the growth, development, and management of the Medical Group's call center. I started managing the call center during the last few months of my fellowship and was able to grow its functionalities and build the relationships between the call center and the offices it supported.
Ultimately, I decided to stay with Hartford HealthCare and work with the Medical Group as Project Specialist to continue the work I had started during my fellowship. The relationships I was able to build during the fellowship as both a student and a young leader have been incredibly valuable. I have not only gained a tremendous amount from my time here, both professionally and personally, but I also have been able to impact the system in meaningful ways both during and after my fellowship.

Major Projects: Par8o implementation (software tracking referral patterns internally and externally to HHCMG), urgent care strategy, Recruited physicians to join Integrated Care Partners, Environmental Assessment
Current Role: Witt/Kieffer
Testimonial: I was someone that did not have a lot of full-time work experience prior to joining HHC, so the administrative fellowship program provided me with a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of functional areas across an incredibly complex healthcare organization in a relatively short period of time. Being based in the corporate office afforded me the flexibility to get involved in projects that spanned the entire continuum of care, across most of HHC's geographies, which was not only fascinating, but rewarding, as well. As a system-level fellow, I was also able to build meaningful relationships with senior leaders across the health system. Above all, my fellowship year was integral in helping shape my career passions in healthcare. It helped me gain an understanding of the aspects of the industry that I truly enjoy, and has greatly influenced the direction which I have taken my career. I learned an incredible amount in just a year with HHC, and I rely on that experience to this day.

Frans Schoeman: South African Renaissance Man
Frans Schoeman is something of a renaissance man extraordinaire. As a South African attorney, he specializes in corporate commercial and business law, but far from merely spending his days in court seeking multi-rand settlements, he is also the Director of the Phatsima Diamond Corporation and owner of the mine from which the diamonds come. He also creates many of the designs his company sells, and manages to combine his love of law with his love of creating fine jewelry.
In 1990, he graduated from the Universiteit van die Vrystaat (University of the Free State.) In 2003, joined the Law Society of South Africa. In 2005, he opened his diamond mine, and started Phatsima Diamonds in 2006. Phatsima is a Setswana word that means to "give light." Phatsima diamonds are cut by following light refracted through the face of the gem. The jewelry they offer is custom made and the diamonds are combined in settings with other precious stones such as rubies, emeralds and pearls and then placed in settings of the purest white gold, platinum and yellow gold. The diamonds are meant to bring happiness and light to any occasion, the same way Schoeman seeks to bring light to the world through his endeavors as an attorney.
As a member of the Law Society of South Africa, Mr. Schoeman of CMT-Artists hopes to help transform the legal profession of South Africa into a structure that works hard to protect the interests of the South African people. The Law Society works hard to ensure that all South African people have access to the most competent professionals that adhere to the highest ethical standards possible. The Law Society seeks to achieve this goal by providing continuing professional development for the next generation of attorneys.
As an avid philanthropist, Schoeman also promotes the arts and is actively engaged in numerous cultural activities. He is deeply interested in the welfare of children and invests in education and environmental quality to provide a bright future for tomorrow's social and cultural leaders.
Frans Schoeman is described as a highly motivated man who somehow manages to oversee a heavy caseload of cases ranging from corporate due diligence to high profile mergers and acquisitions, all while managing his successful diamond business and thriving mining concession in Angola. Most of Phatsima diamond's creations are individually hand crafted to the buyer's specifications, but they do offer certain limited edition gold and sterling silver creations online.
Frans Schoeman considers his wedding ring designs to be an endless tribute to the aesthetic contributions he has made to the world. His jewelry designs are highly reflective of his world views of peace and equality and his passionate commitment to quality. He hopes to create the highest quality jewelry while also offering the highest quality legal services. Just as a wedding ring is meant to be an enduring symbol of the love and life that two people are meant to share, Frans Schoeman only uses diamonds that have been certified by some of the best diamond suppliers in SA to hand craft the perfect ring that will endure for generations to come.

scheduled the job to 0100 yesterday and this morning i see my veeam trying to boot from network.
the veeam lost his local C:\ (vmdk file) and cant boot.
after added the vmdk manualy to the veeam it boots and windows says it was crashed...normal after a "blue screen"
any other who have this issue?
That's weird, I cannot recall to see this issue before, could you send us WMware logs, job log as well as the Event log from that server to support@veeam.com to investigate the issue.
Hello Zeki, I have not seen the logs, but since you are backing up the whole vCenter, you are likely backing up the actual Veeam Backup server too, which is not supported and may cause the VM crash. This is documented in the Known Issues section of the Release Notes document. What happens is during Veeam Backup's attempt to backup itself in the Virtual Appliance mode, it attaches its own disks to itself and the Windows OS cannot stand this (duplicate volumes). I think we should add a hard coded check in the code to skip Veeam Backup VM processing in all backup jobs. As discussed in the adjacent topic about Veeam Backup server DR, generally you cannot use Veeam Backup to backup itself in any mode.
i exclude it and report if it helps..


Spending less than you earn is one sure path to financial security. But that doesn't have to mean a spartan lifestyle. You can still enjoy yourself while living small.
When was the last time scrolling through Instagram made you feel better? If you're like me, the puppy photos on your feed momentarily boost your mood, but the parade of carefully selected and artfully edited experiences leaves you feeling depleted. How can these people afford to travel to New Zealand? When will it be your turn to road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway, drinking wine on sunlit rooftops along the way?


In this Golden Ale extract kit Black Rock have used a combination of malts with an addition of Nelson hops to create a refreshingly deep golden ale.
This kit requires either 1kg of brewing sugar or dextrose (not included) however for best results we recommend adding a can of Black Rock Light Malt Extract. This beer also benefits from using an after-market yeast and we highly recommend Safale US-05.


This book is a really touching story. It's really sad in places. Personally, I think this one is my favourite Michael Morpurgo book.
amazing love the film too!
I thought this book is absolutely great! it made me cry in a few places but at the end it is happy. Joey (Alberts horse) gets taken off by Alberts dad to volunteer to work in the war. Very tragic story but would reccomend to everyone! Happy reading!
I loved this book,it was soooooooo sad and made me cry!
War Horse is one of my favorite books. It is a bit sad but has a fantastic end! If you have not read it yet thenyou are missing out on a LOT!!!!


I had one of the best years of my life and then suddenly with no warning at all, plunged full force into one of the worst years of my life (to date).
I can't even begin to describe the shock of it all, or the emotional whiplash that I experienced.
I wonder sometimes if that really hard year would have been more manageable if the memory of just how happy and good I was the previous year hadn't have been so fresh.
I tried so freaking hard - to be okay and to maintain the happy life I had once lived. But all of my energy ended up going towards just trying to be as "okay" as possible.
"Okay" in life is survival mode. It means you become a really high functioning sad person. I found I could only be truly honest about how not great I was doing with a few people, because the path I was on was just so painful and stressful that I didn't want to talk about it (let alone acknowledge it) more than I had to.
I would beg my sister to just tell me over and over with every sobbing phone call, "Ciara, it's going to be okay". Just hearing those words spoken over me when I didn't fully believe it, made me feel better. She could hold onto that belief for me.
I found myself holding onto this thin thread of hope and faith as I plunged down a rocky cliff into the deep abyss that was my unknown future. Every time, I thought I might be out of the worst of it, I was wrong.
The craziest part of all of this, is that I would do that hard year again, I even COULD do it again.
Not that I want to, but I have the wherewithal now to see what I've gained through that year. I wasn't sure what would be left of me when all was said and done. But I look around and see a really strong version of myself, who survived a season that I didn't think I could. A Ciara who knows what good days feel like, smell like, taste like - more than ever. As if my senses have been awakened to good days after so many dark ones. The thankfulness that streams out of me on those good days is something I have never felt before. After so many hard days where I was fighting to acknowledge small beams of good, I now feel almost overwhelmed, high, even giddy at the shocking amount of good and joy that can happen in a day. Like a huge wave crashing over me after days of wading in muck trying to find fresh water.
Those hard, dark days have rubbed me raw. But in the way that makes day to day experiences feel fresh and new.
I want to remind myself through this entry, that the dark days make the good days so much more vibrant. And so, even the dark days are worth living. Even they are worth fighting through. Even they have potential and power to remind me how strong a thin thread of faith is. And how the dark days won't forever be the reason for my tears, soon the good days will be the reason for my tears in the overwhelming flood of thankfulness that is now more acknowledged than ever.
THE DARK DAYS CAN NOT LAST FOREVER!
It feels like they can, it feels like they will. But nothing in this world can stay exactly the same forever. Eventually the sun does have to rise and summer does have to come. Darkness and winter never win.
Jump into the muck of your life and seek out the fresh water that can be found in the uncanny hope that eventually a wave of newness will crash over you and you will never take that wave of goodness for granted again.

Customers say a Tulsa ' No Frills' grocery store saves them money
Aldi's grocery store has no movies, no magazines and no bank, but the customers who shop there say they love it because they save money.
News on 6 reporter Rick Wells shows us the "No Frills" grocery stores are building their business on word of mouth and big savings.
Lori Griffith is checking out at the grocery store, a different kind of store. It's one of three Aldi locations in the Tulsa area."I like it because it's small and I can get in and out quickly." Four kids will do that to you, but it's the savings on what she buys that keeps her coming back. "There are certain things I buy here cause it's cheaper than anywhere else." What she can't get here she gets up the street.
Mark Bersted is an Aldi vice president, he says they use what he called a limited assortment concept. They sell produce without a produce department, meat without a meat department. They do have about 1,100 basic items that supply 85 to 90 percent of the average weekly shopping list.
They don't have a published phone number or a customer service department. "We don't have time to man a customer service booth, we don't sell stamps, we are not a bank. All that adds up to overhead for a retailer." Overhead increases prices.
Here's something else. They don't sack your groceries, you do that yourself. They don't provide the bags either, they'll sell you some, or bring your own and save the money.
Aldi doesn't advertise, they rely on word of mouth, something else customers don't pay for and they rent you the grocery cart. They are locked up, a quarter in the slot unlocks the cart. So when Lori Griffith's 9-year old brings it back and locks it up, he gets the quarter back. Wonder if mom's gonna let him keep it.
There are nine Aldi stores in Oklahoma, four in northeast Oklahoma.

Local Woman Launches Nonprofit for Autoimmune Disease
By Andrea Timpano·
Sumaira on the day she got to leave the hospital
When 25-year-old Sumaira Ahmed was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMO), a rare autoimmune disease which affects the spinal cord and optic nerves, there were few people she could turn to for answers.
Her doctors at Mass General and Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, where she was treated during the summer of 2014 and whom she fondly refers to as "The Dream Team," could only explain so much; the NIH reports that NMO, a debilitating condition which can cause blindness and paralysis, is diagnosed in just one to two people per 100,000 worldwide.
"I was a perfectly healthy person and I got sick out of nowhere," Ahmed says. "My family and friends have been there for me, but I almost wish I could talk to someone who also experienced a similar situation to see how they dealt with it. There really isn't much out there."
That's why Ahmed is now taking steps to establish The Sumaira Foundation, a nonprofit that would increase global awareness of the disease, fundraise for research, and, perhaps most importantly, provide much-needed support resources to patients and their families.
In planning for her organization, Ahmed says she's been amazed by the success of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, a viral fundraising initiative for Lou Gehrig's Disease which has coincided with her illness. "This guy [Peter Frates] created so much awareness on something that people didn't really know much about and raised so much money," she says. "I want to be that person for this autoimmune disease."
At this point, The Sumaira Foundation is still in its infancy. Ahmed hopes that as the organization grows she'll be able to partner with physicians who are studying the disease.
"This entire experience changed my life. I want to advocate and spread awareness on not just my disease but rare diseases in general because they just don't get enough attention," Ahmed says. "I'm really motivated to just get the word out there [and] turn my awful experience into something really positive."

We want to test some different designs, user interfaces with different user target groups. As far as I see from the documentation of Algolia, A/B testing is possible using different indices for search. But is it possible to do design A/B testing with Algolia?
