'Instagram hotspots' have become increasingly popular with people now planning out their day trips and holidays around the most popular Instagrammable hotspots. How pretty a destination will look on Instagram is a deciding factor for some when deciding where to go on holiday or for lunch, and even cafes are now decorating with Instagram at the forefront of their mind.
There was a recent survey undertaken by a holiday home insurance company called Schofields Insurance which revealed that 'how Instagrammable the holiday would be' was identified as the number one motivator for millennials when they are deciding on their holiday plans. The concern as to how holiday snaps would appear online proved more of a motivating factor than the opportunities to immerse themselves in the local culture and sightseeing. The pressure to look like you have the perfect life online is starting to affect real life decision and it's got me thinking about how Instagrammable my travel is.
I've realised that I do take certain photos in specific poses such as the ones I've included in the post specifically for Instagram, however I'm glad that my decision of where I want to travel to on holiday is solely based on my interest in the city and country.
After discovering these findings I've made a promise to myself to continue to holiday in places that I genuinely want to visit and not care about what other think or how it will look on Instagram. I actually don't usually post whilst I'm away and wait until I get back, as it's the perfect time disconnect from the online world and enjoy real life.

King Street construction lull to continue into May
CTV Kitchener Published Wednesday, April 20, 2016 5:39PM EDT Last Updated Wednesday, April 20, 2016 6:50PM EDT
It's been more than a month since active construction work took place on King Street in uptown Waterloo.
Work was halted on March 11, following the discovery of what turned out to be a corduroy road – one of the earliest passageways constructed in the city – under the street.
Archeologists were then called in to examine the find, as is required under heritage regulations.
The on-site archeological work has now wrapped up, and crews expect to move in later this week to begin removing the logs that make up the corduroy road.
How long that will take remains unclear.
"We're still believing that we're going to be able to restart construction in May," Avril Fisken, a spokesperson for construction consortium GrandLinq, said Wednesday.
"I just don't know exactly when."
The issue of the corduroy road was also raised Wednesday at Mayor Dave Jaworsky's State of the City address.
The mayor suggested that people listening to his address "shop and dine in uptown Waterloo" and check out the corduroy road for themselves – adding with a laugh that they would have to do that last part "very, very soon."
He also reminded his audience that parking is still available in other parts of the uptown, particularly on Regina Street.
"The only thing that's torn up is King Street, and that's where the vast majority of us never parked anyways," he said.
Uptown business owners say they're feeling mixed emotions about the discovery of the corduroy road and the construction work in general.
"The corduroy road has started almost like a tourist industry, we're joking, in uptown Waterloo," said Mandy Brouse, co-owner of Words Worth Books.
On the other hand, Brouse says, her business and others are only at the "very beginning" of a lengthy construction season, which is expected to last until at least the end of November.
Officials say they're pursuing options including working longer hours during the day to keep the project on-schedule.
Brouse says she's happy to hear that, although she knows the tenants living above her store might have a different opinion.
What particularly worries her is any suggestion that King will remain closed into December, cutting into the busy Christmas retail season.
That, she said, would be "too much to ask."
Fisken says it's not yet known whether the Nov. 30 target is still feasible, and business owners shouldn't expect more concrete about the schedule until June.

I would like to take this time to give a heartfelt thank you to the ASPA Executive Officers and the ASPA staff. They are a hard working group that keeps ASPA working for its members. In addition to being on the Executive, many of them have joined committees, some internal to ASPA and some University committees. The following highlights just some of the work they do for ASPA and its members.
Elana Geller is our newest Executive Officer. She joined the executive in the fall to fill in a vacated position.
John Costa serves on the pension committee and was integral to getting online voting established that was used for voting on our collective agreement.
Sara Horseman has taken the lead on our communications committee.
Patrick Dice serves on the social, communications and nominations committees.
Brock Egeto attends weekly new positions meetings where we meet with the Employer and CUPE 1975. He also helps out on our communications and research committees.
Andrea Smida serves on the engagement committee and also sits on new positions.
Aaron Bird serves on our finance and research committees.
Sheila is the ASPA Treasurer. She provides timely financial reports in addition to working on the engagement committee and organizing our brown bag lunches.
Lisa Bagonluri is one of ASPA's Vice Presidents and serves on the Employee Assistance Committee and the grievance committee.
Peter Krebs is also a Vice President and sits on the Employee Assistance Committee as well as the grievance, communications, finance and research committees.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of the work that these members do for ASPA. Hopefully it illustrates for you the numerous committees as well as the amount of work that is put into our organization.
I would like to also thank all of the other ASPA members that serve on a multitude of committees that help our organization and members. It is the collective work of all of these people that ensures the success of our association.
In addition, I must thank the ASPA staff, Darcy Hryn and Annetta Gellner, for their hard work and dedication to this organization. Darcy helps our members with contract interpretation and acts as a resource to the Executive. ASPA filed 17 grievances in 2016 and Darcy worked with the Presidents to ensure that they were handled as efficiently as possible. Annetta keeps us all organized and is also a resource to the Executive. She books our meetings, keeps track of our schedules and has the history of ASPA stored in her brain.
I am grateful to have the privilege of working with all of these talented and devoted people.
In preparation for our AGM in April, we will be looking for people to run on the ASPA executive. If you are interested in learning more about ASPA, or more about our campus, serving on the Executive will give you tremendous experience. It is an opportunity to work with a fabulous group of people and is also a chance to give back to our organization. If you would like more information about giving back by joining a committee, writing articles for our website or serving on the Executive, you can contact any of the executive members, myself (dawn.giesbrecht@usask.ca) or email aspa@aspasask.ca.

Inside Ariana Grande's Rise To The Top

You Have To See Ariana Grande's Transformation Over The Years

It's easy to forget that Ariana Grande used to be on a Nickelodeon show. Did you forget? Because I sure did.
Unlike some other contemporary singers, she's managed to totally reinvent herself, almost overnight. And, as she told Billboard in May, "I feel like I'm still just getting started — a lot of people forget I'm only three years in."
Originally from Boca Raton, FL, Grande started singing in local musicals, like Annie, when she was only 8 years old. Next she starred in the Broadway musical 13, before moving on to play Cat Valentine, a recurring character on two television shows, iCarly in 2009 and then Victorious in 2010.
On Victorious, Grande had a youthful, high-pitched voice — reminiscent of Paris Hilton's — that was often mocked on the show.
She also had a totally different look, with dark-red hair and a flashy wardrobe. But she also had a killer voice and a whole lot of spunk. It was only a matter of time before she would break out on her own. Meanwhile, her impressive impersonations of singers and rappers, from Rick Ross' dancing to Celine Dion's ballads, have been wowing audiences since her early YouTube days.
Grande just released a new album, Dangerous Woman, that sky-rocketed to the top of the charts, and recently appeared on Fox's Scream Queens. On June 26, the singer and actress turns 23, and we decided to revisit her roots — the pre-latex-bunny-eared Grande.
So, let's go down the rabbit hole and take a look inside the magical transformation of Grande's musical career.

Students retain more knowledge through skills-based learning versus fact-based learning. Skills-based learning teaches concrete skills as opposed to abstract concepts. Our curriculum focuses more on a child's competency in an individual skill rather than their understanding of an overall subject. Through skills-based learning, students learn independence, thinking skills, collaboration, and active learning at the same time as knowledge is acquired. Fact-based learning, on the other hand, requires just two skills: listening to a lecture and note taking.
Every child learns at a different pace. If a student lacks certain skills in 1st grade, we don't hold them back. We have until 5th grade to make sure that child has mastered those skills. And if a student can demonstrate they already have mastery in a certain skill, they can skip a learning module entirely. In skills-based learning, students learn to master one competency at a time. Each skill is a small component of a larger learning goal.
In most elementary schools, one teacher teaches all subjects. But one teacher cannot be an expert on – or passionate about! – every subject. Our teachers specialize in the subject they are teaching – such as social studies, science, math, gym or art. Our teachers have a passion in the area they specialize in and that passion is contagious!


Pine Terrace is a small, quaint neighborhood in Wake Forest with average homeowners being first-time homebuyers or those looking to heavily down-size. The neighborhood has a great Wake Forest location, placing it just ten minutes from downtown Wake Forest, Franklin Academy High School, and several parks including Forest Bridge and Mill Bridge Nature Park. Residents can enjoy shaded and private lots, along with beautiful tree-lined backyards. Some of the homes were built in the early 90's and 2000's, though some have been updated while newer homes have been added to the area in more recent years. The majority of the homes are one-story ranch styles, while there are some two-stories or split levels scattered throughout the neighborhood.

eSports are growing in popularity, with fans across all demographics.
They allow children to engage and learn through play.
This kind of gaming promotes analytical thinking amongst players and improves reasoning skills.
Although both online and offline competitions have been an in-home staple since the domestication of gaming technology, competitions on a professional level did not become commonplace until the late 2000s. Recently, the popularity and spectatorship of eSports has continued on an upward climb with fans across all demographics converging to watch their favourite players compete.
eSports 'shoutcasters' — an industry term for presenters — Ketchup (Ryan Neal) and Mustard (Jake Neal) hosted a casual, improv introduction to eSports during which delegates and volunteers alike were able to take a reprise from the hustle and bustle of the conference and go head-to-head for the title of the 'Best Dragon Ball Fighter's player in the HUBS Hideout between the hours of 14:00 and 15:00' — a very prestigious accreditation, the prize for which was a shiny new ESL t-shirt and pin combination.
Throughout the competition, Ketchup and Mustard explained how the recent buzz surrounding eSports presents an opportunity for producers to leverage said momentum into convincing children to interact and engage with learning through a medium which typically evokes connotations of fun and play.
According to Mustard, playing fighting games, such as Dragon Ball Fighter, on a more competitive level can nurture analytical thought in players; as to be successful, reasoning and strategy must be in either outsmarting or overpowering opponents. Ketchup elaborated on the above, likening fighting games to online chess in that the end result is dependent on 'split-second evaluations'.

A slice of Prince Street Pizza, perfect street food

An Ode to the Pleasures of Walking and Eating
Eater critic Robert Sietsema ruminates on a New York obsession
by Robert Sietsema Oct 21, 2015, 11:39am EDT
Share All sharing options for: An Ode to the Pleasures of Walking and Eating
Part of The Ultimate Visitor's Guide to Eating in NYC
Padding the pavement while eating an impromptu meal is something New Yorkers are inordinately fond of. That's partly what carryout containers are for, and as the century progresses, we find ourselves with more and more great dining establishments where there is no place — or almost no place — to eat. Get one of the excellent pastrami heroes at Harold & Ida's, turn around, and aside from a standing shelf that might accommodate two people, there's literally no place to consume it. The solution? Leave one half in the bag, hold the other in your hand, and chew as you walk down Avenue A.
There are several advantages to this approach. First of all, you save time in your busy day, since you're undoubtedly going somewhere you need to be after the sandwich is finished. This also constitutes a form of multitasking that leaves you time to think about something else. What could be more pleasurable than hiking, eating, and ideating all at the same time? It becomes a delightful game: You have to maneuver around groups of slow-moving tourists, hop on and off curbs, and dodge the occasional fast-moving vehicle, dive-bombing pigeon, and scurrying rat. All the while keeping track of the bag swinging at your side, the half-sandwich inside begging to be extracted and eaten.
What could be more pleasurable than hiking, eating, and ideating all at the same time?
One added advantage: You can't text while you're walking and eating, or look at your email, or see what the weather is like on your phone. The walking-and-eating world is mercifully disconnected from the Internet. Of course, it's considered rude and even perhaps illegal to eat while you're riding the subway — there's even a website devoted to it — though people eat on the subway anyway. But walking down the sidewalk is far less interactive than the subway. On the sidewalk even if you impinge on the consciousness of passersby, it's only for a split second. This makes the walking-and-eating experience like having your own one-person mobile dining room. And one that you don't have to clean up afterwards — if you spill a few crumbs from your sandwich, you can stride glibly on.
There are plenty of places on this earth where eating while walking is frowned upon. In France you could probably never get by with it. On a visit to Paris, I was frustrated to discover there were not even any carryout cups for coffee, let alone carryout containers for solid food, reminding us that drinking coffee or any other beverage out of a paper cup is one form of walking and eating that's very easy to master. Thailand is another place where eating and walking is frowned upon, as a commentator on a BBC website notes: "Eating on the move in Thailand is impolite, except in the private cars." A person from China chimes in, "In my opinion, it is uncomfortable and does harm to my health, and causes dyspepsia."
A slice of pizza is one of the greatest walking-and-eating devices ever invented.
The walking and eating aficionado knows instinctively what foods serve the purpose best. A sandwich is perfect, but some sandwiches are better than others. Thumbs up, bologna with lettuce and mayo; thumbs down eggplant parmesan hero with lots of tomato sauce. Thumbs up any breakfast sandwich (including my favorite, scrambled eggs and sausage on a buttered roll); thumbs down tuna salad on a bagel (the filling squirts out the sides).
A slice of pizza is one of the greatest walking-and-eating devices ever invented, especially a bare-bones cheese slice if you employ the fabled New York fold and decant the excess oil first. While tiny Neapolitan-style pizzas, which should ideally arrive uncut, paradoxically aren't good walking food since the crust is way too floppy, a cup of soup is great, and a great comfort in winter, especially if you blow on it first. French fries are perhaps the most wonderful of all, though juggling the ketchup on the side in a little cup makes the game more challenging. With two hands completely free, though, you can eat almost anything, including the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables out of an aluminum container that I recently saw a guy scarfing as he perambulated with impressive velocity down Lexington Avenue.
Does it harm your digestion or put you in danger of falling into the street in front of an oncoming car? The jury is still out, but as long as so many restaurants have eliminated seating or are too crowded at mealtimes to find a spot, and New Yorkers are so hard-pressed for time, walking and eating will be not only a pleasure but a necessity.
NYC's top five foods for walking and eating
What could be more New Yorky than a slice of pizza from a neighborhood pizzeria? You don't have to go far to find one. Your choices often include a dozen or more permutations — just make sure you pick a slice with the fillings firmly attached. Then discard the paper plate, fold the slice using the New York fold — aka down the long side — and plow onward.
Stromboli Pizza, 83 St. Mark's Pl., at First Avenue, East Village
Golden Pizza, 504 East 138th St., at Brook Avenue, Mott Haven
Sam's Famous, 150 East 116th St., at Lexington Avenue, East Harlem
Available many places, including the Punjabi vegetarian carryouts that dot NYC, is the samosa, a tetrahedral pie with a crisp crust and cumin-scented potato filling. Hold the samosa in one hand and dip into the accompanying mint or tamarind chutney held in the other, while paying special attention to the meandering pedestrians in front of you.
Curry In A Hurry, 119 Lexington Ave., at 28th Street, Kips Bay
Merit Kabab, 37-67 74th St., at 37th Road, Jackson Heights
Minar, 138 West 46th St., between Sixth and Seventh avenues, Times Square
Char siu bao
Char siu bao — a pale, globular, steamed Chinese bread stuffed with a sweet barbecued pork filling — is the perfect thing to eat while walking. These are available at any restaurant that peddles dim sum, and at Chinese bakeries, too. One hand will be enough, but you need to hold the other hand a few inches underneath to catch any tumbling morsels of pork.
Hop Shing, 9 Chatham Sq., between Doyers Street and East Broadway, Chinatown
Shanghai You, 135-33 40 Rd., near Main Street, Flushing
Mei Li Wah, 64 Bayard St., between Elizabeth and Mott streets, Chinatown
Bacon, egg, and cheese
Probably the most popular walking and eating food next to a slice of pizza is the BEC: the classic bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Many corner delis will make you one all day, and it is really one of the most economical snacks you can scarf. You can make it easier to eat while walking by asking the cook to not cut it into two parts, meaning you can hold the whole thing in one hand.
Sam's Deli, 275 West Fourth St., between 11th and Perry streets, West Village
Andy's Deli, multiple locations such as 295 Amsterdam Ave., at 74th Street, Upper West Side
Court Street Grocers, multiple locations such as 378 Metropolitan Ave., between Havemeyer Street and Marcy Avenue, Williamsburg
Many cultures have embraced the kebab. Halal street carts sell them and so do Greek, Israeli, and Turkish gyro, shawarma, and doner joints. Chinatown vendors mount carts that sell a vast range of seafood, poultry, and meat kebabs. Yes, you can get them everywhere, and walking with one while eating it is a breeze — as long as you don't impale yourself upon the stick.
Mamoun's, 119 Macdougal St., between West Third Street and Minetta Lane, Greenwich Village
Tandi Rokhat, 2678 Coney Island Ave., between Avenue X and Desmond Court, Sheepshead Bay
Franky's Souvlaki Cart, 31-02 Steinway St., at 31st Avenue, Astoria

At Northstar CA, moms get pampered with special ski progam
Moms group at Northstar California
By Eileen Ogintz
LAKE TAHOE, CA (Day One) — Why shouldn't moms have some fun?
No reason, concedes Nicole Reitter. No reason except time when you're trying to juggle work, kids and managing a household.
That's why it felt so decadent when she took a day — along with four other women — entirely for herself. She didn't go to the spa; she signed on for a day-long new 4 Her program at Northstar California resort in Lake Tahoe designed to help moms carve out time for themselves on the mountain.
"A lot of time moms get cheated," said Andy Buckley, the head of the resort's ski school. This Vail resort, with its slope side Ritz Carlton, is known for catering to upscale families. It's initiated a new "primo private" this year where coaches meet the family right at the car and help take stress out of the experience from the get go, helping with equipment, lunch and dinner reservations.
"We know how important their business is to us," said Beth Howard, the vice present and general manager of the resort. She explained moms were asking for something more customized to their schedules — starting after they dropped their kids at ski school and ending before pick up.
While women — especially the upscale crowd who frequents this Tahoe resort — don't skimp on their kids, they do on themselves, suggests instructor Mary Ellen Pearlman, who teaches private lessons to many families. "Money isn't an issue," she said. "They are just always focused on the children." Some of these moms will pay $800 for a private all-day lesson for their kids, she noted, but are wearing their husband's hand-me-down ski pants and using old equipment.
The fact that the coaches are women is key. "A lot of women are intimidated skiing with men," Pearlman said. "They absolutely have more fun with women."
Champagne toast at the end of the day
I know that first hand. I've always thought ski trips are the most labor intensive family vacations — all of the gear, getting kids to lessons on time, figuring out meals and shopping for food. Is that a vacation? I often wondered. Add trying to navigate an unfamiliar mountain.
The ski industry realizes that women are dropping out of the sport far more often than men. And with so many options for family vacations, if women aren't having fun, they'll go elsewhere. There are multi-day women's ski and snowboard camps but those aren't aimed at moms.
That's why Vail Resorts this year has initiated this program brand-wide — a different day at different resort. Because families tend to come here from the Bay Area for long weekends, Andy Buckley said, Mondays were seen as a good bet, though the coaches immediately told this week's group they could opt for a different day if it were more convenient.
Nicole Reitter said she typically was either skiing with her five year old or her husband who is far more advanced. "When I ski with him, I always feel like I'm chasing rabbits down the hill," she said with a sigh. "I never have time to slow down and work on my technique."
The camaraderie among the group, she added, came as a surprise. "We were giggling at women only jokes," said Reitter, who like the others in the group is in her early forties. At one point, she noted, one of the moms had to take a call from her daughter and the others in the group waited patiently. In a regular class, she noted, the rest of the group might have gotten impatient. "But we're all moms… we understood… when something comes up with your kids, you have to deal with it."
"Everything just clicked," she said, the supportive coaching, the camaraderie and, most important, not having to focus on anyone else for an entire day. "I'm always wearing my mom hat… my wife hat.. my work hat… I realized I'm still me and I had the rare opportunity to wear that hat yesterday.
"It felt decadent to take the day for myself but this was so worth it," she said. Her group, she said, is already planning a second day on the mountain.

Technology has done as much to change the real estate industry as Henry Ford did to change the production of automobiles. However, where Henry Ford brought the cost of cars way down with his technology, the real estate industry hasn't adjusted their fees. But before every real estate broker within 50 miles of Anna Maria Island starts calling me, let me give you the pros and cons of this debate.
Yes, it's true that house hunters can go online and see virtually every house on the market in their chosen area. It's also true that buyers frequently call brokers after they have sifted through the online housing inventory and are ready to get inside the property. And yes, it's also true that brokers are saving a lot on gasoline by not driving customers around for days on end as we all did years ago. But none of this tells the real story.
Let's start with selling your home and determining a listing price. It's pretty easy to gather a bunch of comparable properties that have sold in your area from realtor websites and county records, but are they really comparable? You haven't been inside these properties, so you don't really know how they compare. Active local brokers have been in a lot of closed properties and they have the ability to analyze selling prices and recommend where your house should be listed. If your house sells fast because it was priced correctly, you'll quickly forget about the real estate commission.
How about showing your home. Do you want to field calls and schedule appointments with buyers who may not be qualified financially or who may just be kicking tires? And don't dismiss the importance of negotiating once a buyer comes forward with an offer. No matter how successful you are in your business life, negotiating real estate offers are a different animal, the element of emotions when you're negotiating on your own home can't be overstated.
Finally, here in Florida, it's not uncommon to be selling to an out of state or out of country buyer. Navigating the details of these transactions can be tricky unless you have someone who has been through it. Not to mention selling a property from out of state that needs to be cleaned out and ready for sale, another job that Florida brokers are set up to do.
What about buyers, why do they need to call a broker after they've done all the work on their smartphones. If you're sitting in New Jersey in February looking at beach properties on Anna Maria Island they all look great. You really need the advice of a local broker to educate you especially in a specialized area like Anna Maria Island.
Are you relocating permanently and need advice about schools, are you buying a second home and need advice about rental possibilities, or do you simply want to know the quality of the restaurants in the area? All of this, the really important and the really not so important is where someone with years of local knowledge becomes crucial.
I love the real estate technology available to everyone today, I love that you can see every property that's on the MLS, but this technology has been around for about 10 years and real estate professionals are still going strong. There must be some reason, maybe the brokers just decided to get out of their cars and realigned their priorities. Just like Henry Ford, technology is meant to enhance not replace.
Are you smarter than a hedge fund manager?

Colorful Solutions: Chemical Engineering Dyes to Brighten Lives
In this lesson, students in grades 8–12 will learn to think like chemical engineers as they study three dye technologies: Tyrian Purple (a 4,000-year-old dyeing method that uses sea snails); Tānekaha Red (a traditional Māori dye derived from tree bark); and mauveine (the first synthetic dye—created from fossil fuels—and invented by a teenager in the 19th century). The lesson has three parts, each expected to take about one 45-minute class period.
In Part 1, groups of students will read an article about a dye technology, fill out a concept map to understand the chemical process described, and teach this process to their group mates. Part 2 builds on students' understanding of these dye technologies by challenging them to work in groups to solve an engineering puzzle: Using a set of cards representing steps in a dyeing process, students will figure out the correct sequence for all three dye technologies. Each step also has an associated cost, and students will add up the costs, calculate a starting price, and begin to reflect on the pros and cons of each technology.
In Part 3, students acting as chemical engineers have to choose one of these technologies, taking into account a wide variety of factors. Ultimately, this lesson aims to broaden students' conception of what technology is and to better understand the value of engineering, whether or not they decide to pursue it as a career.

This. Being hq9, I'm finally at a point where I can regularly be matched with opponents my own level, but I do fight a lot of 10s as well. Both on attack and defense.
I find that my guards do a reasonable job against other 9s. Against 10s, though, they are hardly a speed bump. Conversely, I have found some success against 9s with guards active but, against 10s, my troops get totally bogged down, unable to advance. Even if they don't get slaughtered outright, they just get stopped dead and slowly chewed up. Even against the weaker bases that I could beat, they run me out of time.

I aint using MHCs. The got stuck and do literally nothing..instead I use Snipers with Light Infantry (BuffTroopers) and Bikes to keep enemy bus while snipers are killing em..
I run mhcs to great affect on my level 10 base. Placement of your factories is the key. Don't expect them to chase enemy units. Instead, let them come into range of the mhcs.
Several people have posted on this thread that heavies and meds are really powerful. I am a lv10 rebel and use a heavy, med, and tx load but only have 60% ish win rate against bases with tactical defense skins. How do the people who win often with the heavy med combo use their troops? I usually place some rebs on the outside of the base to pull out the tactical skin units, and then place Luke in the back of the base. I then use his special move so all the turrets target him and then place to and heavy/ med combo. I try to keep the tactical units away by putting my rebs in the right position but I usually still loose. What am I doing wrong?
I think that most of us have opted to using Kessen or Leia (for green planets). For Kessen, we try to snipe the SC using a deka/deko. We then drop the heavies/med and TX and heal ship spam. Kessen will target the dekas before he goes after units that spawn from the factories or barracks.
For Leia, I use the deko as bait for the initial wave and have Leia and heavies ambush whatever comes out of the factories/barracks. Don't forget to bait the enemy's dekas as well.
I rarely use Luke anymore. I used to use him in probably close to 85% of my attacks. But Kessen and Leia are too important for clearing those spawned units.

The Departed at Cain's Ballroom
Friday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m.
Whether or not Cody Canada's name is stamped on the cover of the band's new album, Adventus, music fans know a good thing when they hear it. Starting life as Cody Canada & the Departed, the band made an easy entrance onto the scene nearly two years ago with a red dirt album that placed the band into good standing with those who knew Canada from his Cross Canadian Ragweed Days. This is Indian Land was pure Okie heaven with a heavy helping of cowboy country. Adventus, however, takes the band, now known as simply The Departed, in the direction of rock. And, yes, Canada is still heading the crew. Hear the band at Cain's Ballroom, 423 N. Main St., Tulsa, when its plays a 7 p.m. show on Friday, Jan. 25. Tickets are $12 to $22, available at www.cainsballroom.com.

Strolling along the alley formed by the Corn Market (George's Hall) and The Famous (formerly Pinder and Tuckwell), many will not know that they are following the line of the ancient Milk Street. This little alley led from the busy shops of Fore Street, to the teeming West Quarter. Linking the top of Fore Street with George Street, it was formerly the haunt of the city's milk sellers, who also had cowsheds there, while at the end of the street, at right angles, could be found the famous Butchers Row, a place of open air slaughter, and cobbles covered in dung and swilling in blood. Milk Street as a name was first recorded in the time of Henry II, 1154-1189.
After the construction of the Lower Market and loss of the top of Butchers Row, in the 1830s, Milk Street led to Guinea Street, which formed the top of a T. In the small square formed at the junction of Milk Street and George Street, in the 1905 map, was placed a stone obelisk that served as a water conduit; it replaced the old public water supply that was positioned in South Street, in front of the College of Vicars Annuellers. Here, locals would line up with their buckets, jugs and pans, as water, from St Sidwells would trickle from the spout.

A School of Art was founded in 1854 in Milk Street. It was a result of the interest in the arts created by the Great Exhibition of 1851. The plans for a new museum in Queen Street included the School of Art, which moved into the new establishment in 1870.
Milk street, Fore street to Guinea street.
Endicott's, the army surplus store in New Bridge Street was originally opened by Lennox Endicott, in Milk Street during 1937.
In May 1942 the bombing of the top of Fore Street and South Street saw all the buildings in Milk Street destroyed, including the Lower Market. When the ruins of Milk Street were cleared, the remains of No 8 were found to date from 1320. It had been a simple building, two storeys high, with a cellar. All that remained of the timber frame and volcanic stone building, were the solid walls. Another tragic loss caused by the blitz. The rebuilding after the war saw the street reduced to the narrow alley next to George's Market we see today–the parking area is an extension of George Street.
The market hall was closed by the city council in 2005 and was reopened in a £1.8 million refit as FoodeaZe, an in season, food market in late 2006. The smell when you walked in of fresh produce and ham, cheese and bread was very welcoming. It was hidden away, but worth a visit. The location and the opening of the first stage of the new Princesshay development meant a lower than expected trade, and FoodeaZe went into administration in May 2007. George's reverted to its original name of the Corn Exchange in 2007.
"There was another character when I was a diddy going to school; I think he was a tramp, a roadster and his second home was in the police station. His mode of getting in there was smashing the glass windows in the public toilets that were in Milk Street. They'd put him in there for a week then he'd come out and have a couple of jugs of cider and smash another one just to get put back inside. In the end they got so used to him they just took him for granted. It was his way of getting a bed and a meal.
Most Saturday afternoons you could see an exhibition by a fellow that went under the name of Ginger the Sword Swallower. This took place exactly outside the toilets in Milk Street."

Chandrayaan-2: India's moon mission DELAYED due to 'technical snag'
ISRO's mission was scheduled to launch at 09:21 pm GMT, or 02:51 am local time on the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III rocket

India's space agency said it delayed the launch of its second lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2, in the early hours of Monday due to a 'technical snag' which was observed less than an hour before the scheduled liftoff.
"A technical snag was observed in launch vehicle system at T-56 minute," the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), said in a tweet.
"As a measure of abundant precaution, Chandrayaan2 launch has been called off for today."
The mission, which the ISRO chairman said is the most complex mission it has ever undertaken, was scheduled to launch at 09:21 pm GMT, or 02:51 am local time on the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark III rocket.
India reveals plans to land a spacecraft on the MOON this September
ISRO said it will announce the revised launch date later. India successfully carried out its first lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, nearly 11 years ago.
The 10-billion rupee ($146 million) mission, if successful, would boost India's aspirations to catch up with global space leaders United States and China and put it in a better position to compete in the commercial space market.

NASA's plans to send humans back to the Moon by 2024 could be DELAYED
A success would make India only the fourth country behind the United States, Russia and China to perform a "soft", or controlled, landing on the moon and put a rover on it.
This would be the third attempted moon landing this year after China's successful Chang'e-4 lunar probe and Israeli spacecraft Beresheet, which failed and crashed on to the moon in April.

Lauren Shuler Donner
Highest Rated: 95% Dave (1993)
Lowest Rated: 8% Out Cold (2001)
Birthday: Jun 23, 1949
Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Lauren Shuler was an American film producer who was best known for producing the globally successful "X-Men" film franchise. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Shuler fell in love with movies at a very young age. She would often sneak off to the theater with her cousin to see the newest release. Growing up in the Midwest was like being a million miles away from Hollywood. But even as a little girl, Shuler had big dreams of making movies one day. Thus, when it came time to enter college, Shuler attended Boston University, where she studied film production and editing. After college Shuler moved to Los Angeles to launch her film career. She quickly made a name for herself as an editor, and later as a camera operator for sitcoms, the latter of which was a field largely dominated by men in the 1970s. However, Shuler longed to be producing movies - she just needed a way in. Her opportunity came in 1978 when, after giving some creative advice on the script, she was credited as an associate producer on the 1978 disco comedy "Thank God It's Friday." Her work on the film opened up a numerous doors for Shuler, and in 1983 she produced her first feature film "Mr. Mom" (1983), which was successful at the box office. Shuler would go on to produce several more successful films throughout the 80s and 90s, including "Pretty in Pink" (1986), "Free Willy" (1993), "Bulworth" (1998), and the romantic comedy "You've Got Mail" (1998). Then in 2000 Shuler, along with her husband, director Richard Donner, produced the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book "X-Men" (2000). The film was a huge success at the international box office, and spawned numerous X-Men sequels and spin-offs, including 2017's "Logan," to become one of the most successful franchises in movie history. In addition to movies, Shuler also produced the television shows "The Gifted" (Fox, 2017- ) and "Legion" (Fox, 2017- ), both of which premiered in 2017.

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii (AFNS) --
Members from United States Indo-Pacific Command and Pacific Air Forces hosted the annual Indo-Pacific Safety Air Forces Exchange in Waikiki, August 19-23.
This year, the exchange involved the participation of 16 countries, in addition to the United States, from throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The purpose of the ISAFE, which started in 2013, is to facilitate high-level exchange of aviation safety concepts, processes and best practices to enhance proactive safety and risk management.
"Safety is a culture. Programs alone don't work. We must find a way to make safety part of everything we do," said Col. David Shoemaker, Pacific Air Forces chief of staff. "Now, programs are very important. They help focus us on those things that we need to think about as we make safety part of our culture. When we talk about risk, we're talking about lives, and it's our job to ensure that each of our nations' air forces, each of our nations' defense departments have that culture of safety."
During the event, there were discussions on various safety topics which included, proactive aviation safety, operations risk assessment and management, military exercise safety planning, Air National Guard flight safety and aerospace physiology and human factors.
"We cannot predict the next mishap," said Kevin Tibbs, Air Force Safety Center Airman Safety Action Program manager. "But if we inform our Airmen, they have great potential to help mitigate any possible risk."
Attendees also received briefings from each country on a wide range of topics including best practices and challenges such as bird strikes, aircraft mishaps, accident investigations, trends, fatigue risk and conducting safety surveys to identify areas to focus on for future mishap prevention.
"There is a moral imperative to cause no harm to those who serve the nation," said Royal Australian Air Force Group Capt. Nigel Ward, director of Defence Flights Safety Bureau. "Without aviation safety, there is no capability. We can't afford to lose those precious people or our equipment because without those things, we don't have a defence force, we don't have that capability."
During the exchange, participants separated into groups for breakout sessions in order to have more in-depth discussions on various matters.
"We are here to enhance our safety and to learn about other countries' safety measures and to work better with everyone," said Royal Thai Air Force Group Capt. Thawach Ruangpetch, director of Academic RTAF.
The ISAFE is all about sharing best ideas and practices so others can bring those ideas back to their work areas and enhance their own safety programs.
"We are finding we are doing things more and more safely," said Royal Canadian Air Force Col. John Alexander, director of flight safety. "Because of that, we aren't getting the opportunity to learn lessons as much, so by sharing information between all of us, we can learn from one another and hopefully avoid it happening to ourselves."
Mark Nunn, PACAF deputy director of safety, outlined the importance and future of ISAFE.
"This exchange is an outstanding opportunity for all of us to not only share our knowledge of safety and risk management, but to foster strong partnerships to influence positive cultural change," he said. "A culture of proactive safety across the Indo-Pacific region will not only save lives, but greatly enhance the preservation of our operational resources for the future."

Q: matlab: cutting figure when resizing for export I have a small problem. When plotting figure like that:
a2 = subplot(2,1,2, 'Parent', handles.cpd_plot, 'Position', [0.15, 0.1, 0.80, 0.15]);
a1 = subplot(2,1,1, 'Parent', handles.cpd_plot, 'Position', [0.15, 0.40, 0.80, 0.50]);

everything is fine, until I go to figure>file>export setup and fix figure width. Then I end up with cut Y label of the second plot, just like that:

How to fix it?
Thanks!

The borough of Islington comes from a very humble beginning. Having started as a workingmen's neighbourhood, the area has risen to become one of the most prestigious London postcodes, now home to celebrities, politicians, members of the upper class and young professionals.
Walking through Islington reveals an eclectic mix of architecture. There are council flats next to mansions and, in-between, what used to be inns and social housing have been turned into pubs, wine bars and boutiques. In addition, the area has good connections to the rest of London via multiple tube services and bus routes.
A favoured activity for locals is to wander through its many gardens, more specifically through the Georgian gardens of Barnsbury Square. There are stretches of streets that are filled with unique restaurants and bars that have an alternative atmosphere, and some great music venues such as Union Chapel, a Grade I listed building that is still a working church but hosts musical acts during the weeknights. During the weekends, the prams come out in force and young families can be found either strolling through the shops or getting cosy with a roast in one of the many good pubs of the area.

Sometimes kids are not ready and end up going back. What happens when she has to go? Does she tell you and then you go with her or does she go to the bathroom herself? Sometimes kids are shy to tell adults when they need to go, end up holding it in, until they can't. I remember that happened with a 2 year old at the daycare I worked at. But I think it would help if you investigate exactly what happens. If you want to just in case, you can speak to her pediatrician. It can't hurt to hear their opinion.

The three largest cruise liner in the world together
Last week there was an event, which was waiting for all lovers of marine news. On November 4, the largest cruise liner in the world Harmony of the Seas arrived to its home port Everglades.
Rendezvous of a gigantic ship off the coast of Florida, Royal Caribbean International decided to celebrate the meeting of all Oasis class liners — «Oasis of the Seas» debuted in 2009 and «Allure of the Seas» — in 2010. The cruise ship «Harmony of the Seas» set off on its first sea voyage in the spring of 2016 and has already won the hearts of many lovers of sea cruises. Huge cruise ships of the same type have greeted each other in the sea for the first time and, most likely, the only time in life.
The newest of the three «Harmony of the Seas» is officially considered the largest in the world, its displacement of 1,700 tons, and a length of 30 cm more than its predecessors. Port of Everglades, Florida is the port of registration of the new vessel.
All three liner in turn will perform seven-day cruises on the Caribbean all year round. It is also known that the fourth Oasis class cruise ship, which has not yet received the official name, is already being built at the STX France shipyard in Saint-Nazaire and is scheduled to be launched in 2018.
And for a dessert, look at the video on the mutual gain: the Stolt Variante river tanker helped the truck get out of the marsh:
Liner-giant Oasis of the Seas passed the cruise company Royal Caribbean International
After six years of creating a unique vessel, the management of Royal Caribbean International took on October 28, 2009 its most revolutionary and the world's largest cruise liner Oasis of the Seas from the shipbuilders of STX Europe, which was signed by the relevant documents in the Finnish city Turku. From this moment, the debut flight of the line...

Q: Calculate surface integral with force Let $S=\{(x,y,z)\in \mathbb{R} : x^2+y^2+z^2 = 11\}$ and $F(x,y,z)=(2\sqrt{11}x,y^2,z^2)$.
Calculate
$$\int\int_SF(x,y,z)\;dS$$
I've calculated S parameterized, whose expression is:
$$S(x,y) = (x,y,\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2})$$
Hence, $$r_x=\frac{\partial S}{\partial x}=(1,0,\frac{-x}{\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2}})$$ $$r_y=\frac{\partial S}{\partial y}=(0,1,\frac{-y}{\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2}})$$ $$||r_x \times r_y|| = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2}}$$
So $dS = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2}}dxdy$ and then
$$\int\int_SF(x,y,z)\;dS = \int\int_SF(x,y,z)\;\frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{11-x^2-y^2}}dxdy$$
But then I don't know how to continue with this procedure.
Another idea I have is to establish the following relationship:
$$\int\int_SF\;dS= \int\int\int_V \nabla F\;dV$$
Any hint?
Thanks in advance.

A: Parameterizing $S$ in spherical coordinates makes this easier, though not by much.
$$\vec r(u,v)=\sqrt{11}(\cos u\sin v,\sin u\sin v,\cos v)$$
with $0\le u\le2\pi$ and $0\le v\le\pi$.
Then take the normal vector to $S$ to be
$$\vec r_v\times\vec r_u=11(\cos u\sin^2v,\sin u\sin^2v,\cos v\sin v)$$
where this order of partial derivatives is taken to make the normal vector point outward, away from the origin.
Then the integral is
$$\begin{align*}
\iint_S\vec F(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S&=\int_0^\pi\int_0^{2\pi}\vec F(\vec r(u,v))\cdot(\vec r_v\times\vec r_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv\\[1ex]
&=\int_0^\pi\int_0^{2\pi}(22\cos u\sin v,11\sin^2u\sin^2v,11\cos^2v)\cdot(\vec r_v\times\vec r_u)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv
\end{align*}$$
The resulting integral is a bit complicated, but doable by hand. Of course, resorting to the divergence theorem makes this significantly easier to compute:
$$\begin{align*}
\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S&=\iiint_{x^2+y^2+z^2\le11}2\sqrt{11}+2y+2z\,\mathrm dV\\[1ex]
&=\int_0^\pi\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^{\sqrt{11}}(\sqrt{11}+2\rho\sin\theta\sin\varphi+2\rho\cos\varphi)\rho^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi
\end{align*}$$
Either way, you would get

 $$\frac{986\pi}3$$

The Leaf Burrito® reusable yard trimmings curbside collection bag
Charlotte, North Carolina: Reusable Leaf Bag
Marc Mataya, a Charlotte resident and inventor, created the Leaf Burrito®, a reusable yard trimmings curbside collection bag, which is designed to help eliminate single-purpose plastic bags. The "burrito bag" holds more than 4 large lawn bags worth of leaves, according to Mataya. It starts completely flat for loading then closes up with heavy-duty zippers. "I came up with the idea several years ago … however, tarps were not approved [curbside collection containers] by the City of Charlotte Solid Waste Department," says Mataya. "I have always had a strong passion for environmental sustainability, green initiatives and with all the current news on what plastic contamination is doing across the world I wanted to do my part." The bag is now approved by the City of Charlotte for curbside servicing; it is emptied and then left in the yard. The Leaf Burrito® is constructed of heavy-duty mesh, with 5 high-strength straps for dragging, carrying, lifting, loading and emptying. It won the 2017 Sustain Charlotte Award in the Waste Reduction category. "We are moving into mass production with public support and investment through Crowdfunding," adds Mataya.
Albany, New York: Revised SSO Composting Regulatory Tiers
The New York State Department of Conservation (NYDEC) revised its Part 360 Solid Waste regulations and expanded the limits to which a composting facility is considered exempt, registered or permitted. One goal of the revisions, effective in November 2017, was to address the expansion of community composting in the state. The following revisions apply to Source Separated Organics (SSO) Composting that includes food scraps:
Exempt: Pre Nov. 2017, there were no exemptions for source separated composting that included food scraps.
Post Nov. 2017 (361-3.2(a)(2)), a composting facility that accepts, measured on a monthly average, no more than 1,000 pounds (lbs) or 1 cubic yard (cy), whichever is greater, of source separated organics (SSO) per week is exempt, provided no more than 2,000 lbs are accepted in any one week.
Registration Required: Pre Nov. 2017, a composting facility that accepted no more than 1,000 cy/year of SSO or a composting facility for food processing waste had to register.
Post Nov. 2017 (361-3.2(b)(2)), a composting facility that accepts no more than 5,000 cy or 2,500 wet tons, whichever is less, of SSO per year, provided that no more than 800 cy are accepted in any month, has to register.
Permit Required: A permit is required to compost any amount of SSO above the registered amount, which also was the case prior to the Nov. 2017 revisions (361-3.2(d) & (e)).
Under the revised Part 360 Solid Waste regulations, NYDEC is now regulating mulch processing facilities.
Rapid City, South Dakota: Yard Trimmings Composting Update
The Rapid City Solid Waste Division has been operating a mixed MSW composting facility since 2003. It uses an agitated bay in-vessel composting system now marketed by BDP Industries. It also composts a 50:50 mix of mixed MSW and yard trimmings, which is composted in the bays as well. Finally, the division has a yard trimmings only composting operation, which is outdoors. "We receive an average of 18,000 tons of yard trimmings annually," notes Jeff Barber, who has worked at the Rapid City Solid Waste Division for 18 years and currently manages its yard trimmings and landfill operations. A significant amount is hauled in by landscape and mowing businesses in the surrounding region. Additionally, the facility receives a lot of pine trees and forest debris from commercial fire remediation contractors who clean up around homes, trails, and parkways.
Logs, trees, branches, and other materials are run through a recently procured CBI 6800BT horizontal wood grinder. Ground yard trimmings are put in windrows. "What we grind now in a day used to take us three to four days," says Barber. "The grinder keeps our bulk pile [of incoming material] smaller so we don't have to worry about fire. In years past we've had some major fires out here when the bulk pile got too big. We're able to manage it well now." The windrows are watered and turned, and kept between 140° to 150°F, for 14 days.
Los Maitenes, Chile: Soil Remediation With Compost — Six Years Later
A team of Chilean researchers returned to a site contaminated with metals six years after remediation with two treatments — one using lime only and one with lime plus compost — to see how well the soil chemistry and planting growth had improved. The site is in the semi-arid Chilean coastal region of the Puchuncavi Valley, with low soil pH (5.4-5.7) leading to high bioavailability of copper in the metals-contaminated site. A single application of amendments (lime with and without compost) took place in 2009, applying 6.7 metric tons/hectare (3 tons/acre) of lime and 133 metric tons/hectare (60 tons/acre) of compost.
After six years, soil pH remained elevated at 7.1 to 7.6, organic matter in the compost treated area declined from 5.2 to 2.4 percent, nitrogen remained relatively constant at 11 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) and phosphorus declined from 142 mg/kg to 79 mg/kg. Although soil organic matter levels decreased in the compost-treated area, plant cover remained fairly constant over time, even with the lack of ongoing maintenance or reapplication of compost treatment over the six-year period. Aboveground biomass and plant species composition displayed differences between years one and six, which researchers attributed to differences in climatic conditions over the time frame. The study will appear in the December 2018 issue of Geoderma.
Athens, Georgia: Curbside Compostables Pilot
The City of Athens, in collaboration with the Rural Action Zero Waste Program, is initiating a pilot organics collection program that will run from July 1 through December 1, 2018 and utilize $46,000 from the city's garbage fund. Residents will have the option to register for the service; compostable materials will be collected weekly with trash and recycling. Rural Action Zero Waste Program has been working with the city of Athens for the past year to develop the program, enabled by an excess in the city's trash and recycling fund, according to an article in Athens News. The goal is to have 200 to 300 families participating, with ideally 50 to 75 families in each of four residential areas throughout the city.
Logan, Utah: University Improves On-Campus Composting
As a signatory to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), Utah State University (USU) set a goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2015, USU Facilities installed a Green Mountain Technologies Earth Flow in-vessel composting unit to handle about 1,200 pounds/day of postconsumer food waste from the Dining Services and Aggie Ice Cream kitchens, as well as 600 pounds of wood chips from Facilities Landscape Operations and Management. Composting enables the university to reduce the amount of solid waste produced on campus by approximately 25 tons/year and reduce the resulting greenhouse gases.
Utah State University is one of 19 universities being awarded a grant from the 2017-2018 PepsiCo Recycling Zero Impact Fund, which recognizes projects with green initiatives. The composting facility staff will use the funds to purchase a grinder to reduce the wood chips to a finer size to make a smaller particle turf topdressing compost. Shane Richards, the landscape operations and maintenance manager for USU told Utah Public Radio, "Our goal is to save about $16,000 a year in fertilizers and it helps build up a better soil profile so eventually we'll be using less water and it will hold nutrients better."


Patients and consumers expect a lot of our healthcare experts. We hold our medical practitioners to a higher standard than most professionals, and successful relationships between patients and physicians are based on trust and honesty. When they give us advice, we tend to listen. What's the best exercise for weight loss, doc? What's the right blood pressure for someone my age? What foods can I weave into my diet to stave off inflammation? Are there better ways to make sure I'm getting a proper night's sleep? What are the warning signs for a heart attack?
We're asking our healthcare experts these questions, so, healthcare experts: Why wouldn't you incorporate a content marketing plan that proactively addresses these questions that so many of us have? What are you waiting for?
Of course, I can appreciate that you might be wondering how to get started. If you're not sure where to begin, start here as we explore one pillar in a healthcare marketing plan – content marketing.
A trusted expert to make the content trusted and worthy of your brand.
There are several top-tier academic medical centers that are doing it right. Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and other top institutions that regularly appear on the U.S. News and World Report's "best hospitals list" all do a great job in the content marketing space. In fact, it's probably fair to call them the pioneers of content marketing in healthcare. Cleveland Clinic offers its patients and potential patients access to its Health Library, while Mayo Clinic offers various resources to encourage a healthy lifestyle.
Let's not forget: Content doesn't have to be limited to only written words. UNC's School of Medicine's Health Talk complements its traditional patient-focused and research stories with podcasts that delve into various conditions and treatments and even "Tasty"-style recipe videos.
But if podcasts and recipes aren't the right fit for your medtech company, perhaps content marketing via email is a better fit. Let's take Harvard School of Medicine as a case study in healthcare content marketing via email newsletters: I receive several email newsletters from Harvard Medical School of varying degrees of interest to me.
Would you open these? How do they compare to emails that you might be sending?
