How Marketing Operations Consultants Are Growing Businesses This
You know that statistic that says 80% of businesses fail? Well, it's cherry-picked, kind of. It's true that most new businesses fail, but that study looked at them in the first five years.
If you can get through your first year, that's a big deal. And it's okay to need help, whether you're on year one or twelve. A top consulting company can help you keep your doors open and keep you from sinking all your resources into one asset.
There are many different types of consulting companies each with specializations like operations consulting or marketing consulting. Want to learn how to find the right one for your business goals? Read below.
Who Needs a Business Consultant?
It's a pretty easy answer: anyone that has a business and is new to ownership or new to a specific niche. Businesses are like children, there's no right way to raise them, but there are generally agreed upon things you shouldn't do.
As they "grow up" they pose challenges that other business owners (or those that help business owners) can get you through.
Not to oversimplify it, but imagine if you faced the parental task of potty training alone. Would you know what to do? Probably not as much as you need to. You ask and read about what other parents did in that situation.
That's no different than when you start to lose customers and can't figure out what's changed in your store/business. You need the help of someone who's been in your situation before.
1. How to Hire a Top Consulting Company
There's a question in the business world: "should you hire an individual or a consulting firm"? We're proponents of the second. Why?
When you work with a consulting company, you have more minds at your disposal. There's no such thing as too many minds working on a problem.
Since they're a team, they know how to work together, so it won't be a chaotic mix of ideas and voices.
If the lead team member on your account doesn't know how to help you with something, someone else on the team will.
If you work with an individual, they can only ask as many people as they know. One network is great, but every employee at a consulting firm has its own network. Sure, some of the contacts will overlap, but there are more people to choose from.
Depending on the town you're in, there may only be one or two firms to choose from. If you don't like either, feel free to look for help online.
Plenty of decisions and meetings can happen over the phone, video chat, or via email.
Get References
The best reference you can get from a business consulting firm is one from a thriving business. Showing that someone that worked with them is turning a profit and fulfilling their goals is all the reference you should need.
Since you're intelligent and thorough, you'll want to ask that business owner some questions. What was the hardest thing they faced that the consulting firm helped them with?
Was there ever a time where neither they nor the firm knew what to do? How did they get past that?
Not knowing what to do in business, every once in a while, isn't a bad thing. Even for a consulting business. As long as they know how to ask for help and seek out answers, it'll help you both grow.
2. Read the Fine Print Before You Sign
Different firms work in different ways, payment-wise. You don't want to be unhappy with their services just to find out you signed a year contract.
It's business 101 to read whatever fine print there is before you sign a contract. If this isn't a habit you already have, it's time to make it one. If you don't, you're going to get into some sticky situations, in life and business.
3. Know Your Goals
Your business consultant can't help you achieve goals you don't know you have. The obvious goal is to make money from your business and turn a profit. But that's not why you're running a business, right?
What's the why behind what you do? Finding your why will help you wake up every day and face the challenges that come with being a business owner.
Ask yourself why you started a business in the first place. Was there a gap in the market that you knew you could fill? Who or what are you helping by filling that niche?
If the only thing you can come up with is "my pocket" you're not going to last long in the business world. Maybe you will, but it's easier to avoid burnout when there's a reason to get up in the morning.
Make Sure You Show Up, Too
Your top consulting company can't do everything on their own. You have to be as committed to working with them as they are with you.
That means showing up for your scheduled phone calls, video chats, or whatever you have planned. You'll need to do prep for these meetings sometimes to make sure they have all the information they need.
In the end, if you rush through this, you're not getting your money's worth. Not only are you losing money by not taking advantage of their full services, but you'll probably lose some profit from it too.
Don't be part of that depressing percentage we talked about at the beginning of the article. Ask for help, and make sure you get it from professionals.

Her father-in-law Prince Charles released a children's book called The Old Man of Lochnagar in 1980. But significantly, she is the first black woman to publish a children's book in the royal family.
According to a royal Insider;
"Meghan is going to be a published Author and is really happy about it.
"The plans are in the very early stages and won't be formally announced for some time. But she's very excited about the possibility and is passionate about the idea of a work of fiction for children.
"She loves animals and her rescue dogs so it's very likely they will be incorporated into the story. Her book will absolutely not be some sort of tell-all about her life in the royal family."

Imagine pulling into your driveway after a long, stressful day at work. Before getting out of your car and greeting your family, you take a few minutes. Closing your eyes, you take three deep breathes. Pushing your pause button to get perspective and reconnect to your family, you say to yourself, "My family is the most enjoyable and important part of my life. I'm going into my home to feel and communicate my love for them." Getting out of your car, you walk into your house, kiss your spouse, hug your kids and help get dinner on the table. After dinner, you take out the garbage, talk to your son about his school project and listen to your daughter practice her reading. By doing this, you rise above the fatigue and challenges from the workday to express love and care.
The message that we get daily is that love is a feeling and relationships are disposable—from Disney stories to glorified Hollywood movies to top hit songs and in every area of advertising. It creates a false expectation about what love looks and feels like–that one just falls in and out of love and the relationship is focused on what I get out of it.

born on 19/7/1965 in Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom
Biography Biography
Dame Evelyn Elizabeth Ann Glennie,[1] DBE (born 19 July 1965) is a Scottish virtuoso percussionist.
Glennie was born and raised in Aberdeenshire. Her father was Herbert Arthur Glennie, an accordionist in a Scottish country dance band, and the strong, indigenous musical traditions of north-east Scotland were important in the development of the young musician, whose first instruments were the mouth organ and the clarinet. Other major influences were Glenn Gould, Jacqueline du Pré and Trilok Gurtu. She studied at Ellon Academy and the Royal Academy of Music, and was also a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland. She was a member of the Cults Percussion Ensemble, formed in 1976 by local musical educator Ron Forbes. They toured and recorded one album, which was re-released on Trunk Records in 2012.[2]
Glennie tours extensively in the northern hemisphere, spending up to four months each year in the United States, and performs with a wide variety of orchestras and contemporary musicians, giving over 100 concerts a year as well as master classes and "music in schools" performances; she frequently commissions percussion works from composers and performs them in her concert repertoire.
She also plays the Great Highland Bagpipes and has her own registered tartan known as "The Rhythms of Evelyn Glennie".[3] Glennie is in the process of producing her own range of jewellery and works as a motivational speaker.
Glennie has been profoundly deaf since the age of 12, having started to lose her hearing from the age of 8.[4] This does not inhibit her ability to perform at an international level. She regularly plays barefoot during both live performances and studio recordings in order to feel the music better.[4]
Glennie contends that deafness is largely misunderstood by the public. She claims to have taught herself to hear with parts of her body other than her ears. In response to criticism from the media, Glennie published "Hearing Essay" in which she discusses her condition.[5]
Glennie was featured on Icelandic singer Björk's album Telegram, performing the duet "My Spine". She has collaborated with many other musicians including former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, Bela Fleck, Bobby McFerrin, Fred Frith and The King's Singers.
On 21 November 2007, the UK government announced an infusion of £332 million for music education. This resulted from a successful lobbying spearheaded by Glennie, Sir James Galway, Julian Lloyd Webber, and Michael Kamen, who also (in 2002/2003) together formed the Music in Education Consortium.[6]
In 2012, she collaborated with Underworld on the soundtrack to the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games and performed live in the stadium.
In 1994, Glennie married composer, sound engineer and tuba player Greg Malcangi, with whom she collaborated on several musical projects. They divorced in 2003 following her widely-publicised affair with orchestral conductor Leonard Slatkin.[7]
Glennie has won many awards, including:
Best Chamber Music Performance in the Grammy Awards of 1989
Scot of the Year 1982
Queen's Commendation prize for all round excellence 1985
Scotswoman of the Decade 1990
Best Studio and Live Percussionist from Rhythm Magazine 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003 & 2004
Walpole Medal of Excellence 2002
Musical America Instrumentalist of the Year 2003
Sabian Lifetime Achievement Award 2006
Percussive Arts Society: Hall of Fame November 2008[1][8]
She has been awarded 15 honorary doctorates from universities in the United Kingdom, the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1993, and was promoted to Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the New Year's Honours of 2007.[9] She owns over 1800 percussion instruments from all over the world and is continually adding to her collection. She was also a VIP of the music industry. Glennie is an Ambassador of the Royal National Children's Foundation (formerly the Joint Educational Trust) which helps support vulnerable, disadvantaged young people at state and independent boarding schools throughout the UK.

Simple Information Every Vietnam Vet Should Know About Neuropathy.
I will admit something to anyone who reads this blog right now: I don't have all of the answers, and I don't know everything. If you happen to know me personally, I suggest taking a moment to gather your newly found bricks. Kidding aside, I learn something new every day here. I don't like to make things up, so I really do lean something new. Granted, some days that may be something as simple as Feta Cheese does not go on everything, or something really important, like finding out what neuropathy really means.
"Wait, you write a VA blog and you don't know what Neuropathy is?" I imagine this would come up if I was ever on the non-hit CNN Debate show "Crossfire," but I don't really have to worry about that. Mainstream media has all but forgotten that there is such a thing as the VA, or a backlog. But no fictional debater, I was not completely oblivious to what neuropathy was, I just have a better understanding of it now.
How did this come about? Well, at our firm, Jan Dils believes in continuous improvement. We do this in many ways, but one of the most popular avenues is a series of classes taught by attorneys and outside experts. Recently, Ross P. Miltner, one of our social security attorneys, taught a class on the subject of Medications. Before I get too far along into the details, you should know that Ross is a very intelligent attorney, and looks like a Jimmy Fallon/Sheldon Cooper hybrid, and he is our reigning fantasy football champion…in other words, when he talks, you listen.
Ross was speaking about Beta Blockers and Diuretics when I started thinking about how I beat him in the second round of our fantasy football league. I'm strangely competitive with him. Then he said something that snapped me back to focus. "Neuropathy is a form of nerve damage." Why did this not resonate with me before?
I mentioned earlier that I had some knowledge of this before. However, my knowledge of neuropathy is that it is a presumptive condition of Agent Orange Exposure, and that it is associated with diabetes. I never really took the time to dive into what it is really is. To look deeper into this subject, I turned to one of the most reliable sources I know, Wikipedia. Just kidding of course, I turned to the Mayo Clinic.
The Mayo Clinic states the following: Peripheral neuropathy, a result of nerve damage, often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet, but it may also occur in other areas of your body. People generally describe the pain of peripheral neuropathy as tingling or burning, while they may compare the loss of sensation to the feeling of wearing a thin stocking or glove.
Further, if you served in Vietnam, or were exposed to Agent Orange in another location, you may apply for presumptive conditions. Diabetes and Neuropathy are both on the presumptive list. But, I as I can attest, it's not always easy to know what neuropathy is. Here are few symptoms the Mayo Clinic has provided.
As you will read in almost every blog I write, the best thing to do if you have these symptoms is go to a health care provider to get an official diagnosis. That's the kind of thing they want to see in your records. If you do have a diagnosis, and are interested in filing a claim, give me a call today for a free consultation. 1-877-526-3457. I don't mind giving you a call, so fill out this form and I'll be happy to discuss your case.

Review: Yvette, at Camden People's Theatre
Child rape survivor Urielle Klein-Mekongo's darkly humorous, one-woman musical is a remarkable event
11 May, 2018 — By Leo Garib

HOW do you talk about rape? What about young teenagers who have been raped? Or the daily bullying they experience that is racist, overtly sexual and crushing?
Shamefully, as a society, we look the other way. Which makes young writer and actor Urielle Klein-Mekongo's award-winning show a remarkable event.
After turning to acting as a salvation from her tough upbringing, she wrote her experiences as a child rape survivor in north-west London as a darkly humorous, one-woman musical.
Klein-Mekongo plays Yvette, a 13-year-old growing up on an a Neasden estate whose single mother is overbearing and whose life is shaped by the kind of sexual precociousness routinely expected of children.
Yvette is bullied for being too black, for her sexual failures and her social isolation, and though she puts a brave face on things, the pain is never far away.
Snappy observations are interspersed with beat-box songs as she dances her frustrations away. But then there are the sudden lapses and self-harm hauntingly depicted.
Finally, her mother's friend who is supposed to keep an eye on Yvette, grooms then rapes her.
It's a coming of age story drawn from the "challenges I faced growing up with daddy issues and trying to rise from the ashes of sexual abuse", said Klein-Mekongo.
Award-winning director Gbolahan Obisesan drew on his extensive experience at the Young Vic and the Royal Court to tease out a searing portrayal from her.
After the encores, Klein-Mekongo made an emotional plea for Rape Crisis, one of the charities struggling to cope with deep government cuts while rapes in London have risen 20 per cent since last year and cash-strapped victim support centres are turning away girls and women every week.
• Run ended but the tour of Yvette continues at Battersea Arts Centre, The Albany Theatre and the Bush Theatre.

Over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend Maxwell and I had a rare Saturday night out and checked out one of Southsea's newest bars; 2 Doors Down.
From the guys behind the fantastic 6oz Burgers, 2 Doors Down is located, as the name suggests, 2 doors down from its sister restaurant along the foody hotspot that is Osbourne Road!
We enjoyed a couple of drinks ( a beer for him and a cocktail for me) and a few nibbles… apart from a bit of extra seasoning we had a fab time there and throughly enjoyed the nosh and drinks!!

Abstract: Grid-based differentially private spatial decomposition has attracted considerable research attention in recent years. The trade-off among the size of spatial data, data skew, and Laplace noise directly constrains the accuracy of decomposition. Most state-of-the-art methods based on grid cannot efficiently accommodate the three constraints. To address the above questions, this paper proposes a three-layer adaptive grid, called STAG, to decompose the spatial data with differential privacy. STAG employs Bernoulli random sampling method to retrieve the samples as decomposition data in the second level. According to the different query granularities in the second level, some cells whose counts are smaller than the given threshold will be filtered by exponential mechanism and high-pass filter techniques. For the cells whose counts are over the threshold, STAG uses Down-Split method to decompose them into fine-grained cells in the third level. For the filtered cells, STAG utilizes Up-Merge method to group them into coarse-grained cells with optimal grouping skill in the first level. STAG method is compared with the existing methods such as UG, AG, Kd-Stand, and Kd-Hybrid on the large-scale real datasets. The experimental results show that the STAG outperforms its competitors, achieves the accurate decomposition and results of range query.
Key words: differential privacy, adaptive grid, private spatial decomposition, Bernoulli random sampling, constrained inference

> BUILDING OPERATIONS > CO-OPS AND CONDOS, LIKE RESTAURANTS, TO GET LETTER GRADES
Co-ops and Condos, Like Restaurants, to Get Letter Grades
In a flurry of activity on its last work day of the year, the New York City Council on Tuesday passed several-housing related bills – including one that will require large co-ops and condos to post a letter grade that rates their energy efficiency.
The bill, known as Intro 1632, was introduced by Manhattan city councilman Dan Garodnick, who will leave office at the end of the year because of term limits. The new law, which goes into effect in 2020, will require all buildings 25,000 square feet or larger to use their water- and energy-use data, now compiled annually under Local Law 84, to create a letter grade on their energy efficiency. The grades, similar to those in restaurants that reflect compliance with health regulations, must then be posted by all public entrances of the buildings.
"This legislation will equip companies and individuals with the data they crave to make more informed decisions about the best place to buy or rent," Garodnick said.
Russell Unger, executive director of the nonprofit Urban Green Council, was among the first to applaud the new law. "Just as most people prefer to eat in A-rated restaurants," Unger said, "we hope New Yorkers will prefer to live and work in A-rated buildings."
An early supporter of Intro 1632 was Danielle Spiegel-Feld, executive director of the Guarini Center on Environmental, Energy and Land Use Law at New York University Law School. Writing in the New York Times, Spiegel-Feld noted that after the European Union adopted such a law in 2010, energy-efficient buildings have enjoyed a significant increase in value. "In Denmark, for instance," she wrote, "properties with high grades have sold for an average of 10.1 percent more than low-rated properties."
Adds Donna De Costanzo of the Natural Resources Defense Council, "These grades will showcase energy-efficient buildings, which are not only better for the environment, but are better for New Yorkers' wallets."

Measles in the United States 2018: 2nd most cases since 2000
2018 was a bad year for measles in the United States according to preliminary data from federal health officials.
Image/MDH
In 2018, 349 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 26 states and the District of Columbia. This is the second-greatest number of annual cases reported since measles was eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. (The greatest was 667 cases reported in 2014). 17 outbreaks (defined as 3 or more linked cases) were reported last year.
Why the increase in 2018?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Three outbreaks in New York State, New York City, and New Jersey, respectively, contributed to measles cases in 2018. Cases occurred primarily among unvaccinated people in Orthodox Jewish communities. These outbreaks were associated with travelers who brought measles back from Israel, where a large outbreak is occurring. Eighty-one people brought measles to the U.S. from other countries in 2018. This is the greatest number of imported cases since measles was eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.
Israel measles update: Case count declines, Another death reported
Measles in Clark County: Public health emergency declared
Measles continues strong in Ukraine in 2019
LA health officials issue measles warning
Madagascar measles update: 20,000 cases since October
Brazil imported measles outbreak tops 10,000 cases last year

Bicycles Are Equalizers and Indiana Should be Too
by Nine13sports | Feb 13, 2014 | Blog | 0 comments
Nine13sports opposes HJR-3, believes it will harm future philanthropic giving in Central Indiana
Nine13sports is announcing our opposition to HJR-3, the proposed constitutional amendment that would duplicate Indiana's definition of marriage and could permanently prohibit civil unions, domestic partnerships and other legal protections for same-sex and unmarried couples.
Nine13sports takes organizational pride in creating and providing fitness programs that utilize the bicycle as an equalizer amongst our participants. We're a non-profit organization that typically does not delve into the legislative process or social issues; but we believe HJR-3, the proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, would be so harmful to the city of Indianapolis we love so much that it would be irresponsible not to speak out against it.
As a non-profit, we created our program and mission to help Indianapolis grow. That growth can be through improving fitness, building relationships amongst peers and shaping the definition of community partnership. Part of our mission is to foster and create a culture of "mutual respect for one another," something that HJR-3 would directly challenge.
Nine13sports is one of the first non-profits not directly affiliated with the arts community to formally speak out against HJR-3. We ask other non-profits that work in Indianapolis to ask themselves, "How would the passage of HJR-3 impact our organization? Our community? Our participants?"
HJR-3 would damage the very root of survival for non-profit organizations here in Indianapolis. If HJR-3 were to pass, it would undoubtedly change the dynamics of businesses both already here and new companies venturing into the Indianapolis market. Many of Indiana's largest employers have already united in opposition , and if approved by voters, this amendment will directly impact the community of philanthropic giving and charitable contributions by changing the landscape of some of the most lucrative employment positions.
Quite simply, we believe approval of HJR-3 will create an exodus of existing individuals and couples who believe in charitable giving and will additionally turn the next generation of successful employees away from Indiana. This will limit not only current, but future charitable dollars for the non-profit community as a whole.
We are a small non-profit, and we realize there are those who will not agree with us on this issue. After all, there are passionate arguments on both sides of this debate. But we are proud to follow the lead of Mayor Ballard, the City-County Council, the Indy Chamber, some of Indiana's largest employers and academic institutions, faith leaders and thousands of Hoosiers who oppose this amendment.
We hope those who support our programs will understand that our stance is based on a deep love of this community and all who call Indianapolis home — and a desire to see our city, its economy and its potential grow.

As it stands, the deal restricts Iran from developing a nuke for 15 years, upon which greater restrictions kick in permanently. No matter who you make deals with, separate actions by your opponents, athough displeasing, will always exist.

Emergence[ edit ] As with all ethnic groups, the ethnogenesis of the Dutch and their predecessors has been a lengthy and complex process. Though the majority of the defining characteristics such as language, religion, architecture or cuisine of the Dutch ethnic group have accumulated over the ages, it is difficult if not impossible to clearly pinpoint the exact emergence of the Dutch people; the interpretation of which is often highly personal.
The text below hence focuses on the history of the Dutch ethnic group; for Dutch national history, please see the history-articles of the Netherlands. For Dutch colonial history, see the article on the Dutch Empire. Germanic peoples , Migration Period , and Foederati In the first centuries CE, the Germanic tribes formed tribal societies with no apparent form of autocracy chiefs only being elected in times of war , beliefs based Germanic paganism and speaking a dialect still closely resembling Common Germanic.
Following the end of the migration period in the West around , with large federations such as the Franks , Vandals , Alamanni and Saxons settling the decaying Roman Empire , a series of monumental changes took place within these Germanic societies. Among the most important of these are their conversion from Germanic paganism to Christianity , the emergence of a new political system, centered on kings, and a continuing process of emerging mutual unintelligibility of their various dialects.
Franks , Old Frankish , and Old Dutch The conversion of the Frankish king Clovis to Christianity would have great significance in helping shape the identity of the future Dutch people. In the Low Countries, this phase began when the Franks , themselves a union of multiple smaller tribes many of them, such as the Batavi , Chauci , Chamavi and Chattuarii , were already living in the Low Countries prior to the forming of the Frankish confederation , began to incur the northwestern provinces of the Roman Empire.
Eventually, in , the Salian Franks , one of the three main subdivisions among the Frankish alliance [24] settled the area's Southern lands as foederati ; Roman allies in charge of border defense. On a political level, the Frankish warlords abandoned tribalism [29] and founded a number of kingdoms, eventually culminating in the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne.

The group intervened, and after a week Disney agreed to accommodate the woman in her original position as a vacation planner, it said. Vacation planners are costumed employees, whose outfits include an optional baseball-style cap. Unlike other employees, the worker in question will not have the option to take off her hat while wearing her head scarf, Brown said. Vacation planners sell tickets in a box office.
Suzi Brown, a spokeswoman for Disneyland Resort, said the employee would be allowed to wear a fitted blue head scarf with a beret-style hat worn over it. A Muslim woman who works as a hostess at a Disney-owned restaurant filed a discrimination complaint earlier this year, saying she has repeatedly been sent home without pay for refusing to remove her headscarf at work.
Imane Boudlal, a hostess at Storyteller's Cafe in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, said she was told she would have to remove her hijab or take a job working out of public view. That case is ongoing, according to CAIR. Disney officials said they in the process of accomodating the intern's religious requirement and had already come up with a design when CAIR became involved in the case.
We don't go to Disneyland to be forced to look at someone's religious attire, we go to escape reality! Will a burqua be next?

Some empires have left their marks behind in architecture and statuary, while others are recalled by unnatural borders, the bastardization of languages and appropriation of cuisine, clothing or music. When Europeans colonized the New World, Africa and Southeast Asia, they assumed that the differently colored inhabitants had nothing to offer them but gold and silver, rubber, tobacco, cocoa, tea and other commodities.
In return, the natives would be given a new language to learn, fabrics to cover their breasts and genitals, foreign diseases and a religion that promised a better life after death than the one they were given at the occasion of their birth.

Can you imagine a world without Scouting?
Without the Jamborees, friendships and adventures it would certainly be a quieter and less colourful place. Well, if it wasn't for the talent and originality of one man, the movement might never have existed at all.
This man was Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941), a soldier, artist, actor and free-thinker. Best known for his spirited defence of the small South African township of Mafeking during the Boer War, he was propelled to further fame as the Founder of Scouting.
Scouting began outdoors of course. In 1907 Baden-Powell held a camp on Brownsea Island, Poole, Dorset, to try out his ideas. He brought together 20 boys, some from a variety of backgrounds. The success of the camp spurred him on to finish what would become a classic of the 20th century.
Scouting for Boys was published in 1908 and from the start, sales of the book were enormous. Boys soon formed themselves into Scout Patrols. It was a global phenomenon. As numbers grew, it soon became clear that young people of all ages and in every country wanted to get involved in Scouting. 1920 was also the year of the first World Scout Jamboree. At London's Olympia, Scouts from across the world gathered to celebrate international unity and the growth of their great movement.
Scouting changed over the years and continued to grow. Scouts in the UK acted as coastguards during the First World War and ran messages during the Blitz. Our members have continued to have a positive impact on society, helping deliver health, education and rebuilding programmes across the world. Girls are now as much part of the adventure as the boys.

OHHYUK, lead member and vocalist of indie band HYUKOH, rose to superstardom just one year into the music industry. Starting his career in Seoul's underground rock community at age 20, his uniquely raw and emotional sound quickly caught the attention of listeners thirsty for something new. Thanks to HYUKOH's continued success in the music charts, and fueled by a taste in fashion as unique as his husky voice, OHHYUK has been able to stand alone as a global fashion influencer, taking all of Asia by storm. After modeling for NikeLab in China in late 2016, he graced the cover of the country's inaugural issue of Dazed magazine, going on to become a campaign ambassador for Converse One Star. The Korea-born, China-raised singer-songwriter counts UNDERCOVER, sacai and Kiko Kostadinov as his favorite brands, with designers like Xander Zhou, Bajowoo and Martine Rose in line to dress him. OHHYUK is one to watch, if not for his style, then for his stunning '70s-inspired rock.

Thanksgiving is still two days away, but Greg and I started preparing early Sunday morning. I wanted to ease into the gray day with a leisurely breakfast–a little coffee, a crossword puzzle, and maybe some pancakes. Greg had other plans. He struck up a casual conversation about Thanksgiving table arrangements—a subject that's anything but casual for us—while I poured my first cup of coffee. Before I knew it dining tables were moved, turned, and moved again. Chairs came out. Chairs went in. Chairs turned. Tables moved again. To a peeping Tom the scene probably looked like a game on the Price is Right. Greg was measuring and muttering and trying his best to keep his cool. My coffee cooled on the counter. I couldn't think of a worse start to my Sunday morning.
Table arranging for Thanksgiving brings out the worst in us both. Arguing over where people (Greg's family and a few friends thrown in for good measure) sit for our Thanksgiving feast is an unfortunate part of our holiday tradition. If Greg gets That Tone in his voice–the one he inherited from his father–it can all break bad very fast. My contribution to the kerfuffle is usually a new idea or new way I think we should do it. The past, I believe, can always be improved on. Unfortunately my visions aren't always an accurate reflection of the space available. "Bob, that won't fit. We've tried it before," Greg will say in That Tone. I stubbornly insist it will work and duck as Greg flings the snaking metal measuring tape across the dining room.
An hour later the chairs, high-chairs (four and counting) and tables that would accommodate seventeen adults and five kids were in place. But we weren't out of the woods yet. The equally contentious matter of who would sit where remained. Delicate issues like girth, eating habits, and hearing problems were considered as we shuffled placecards from table to table, from seat to seat. For the first time in ten years of hosting Thanksgiving, we pulled off the table and seating arrangements without a single argument. And we were way ahead of schedule.
It was time for pancakes; we'd earned them. I savored every maple-soaked, nutty bite, every moment, knowing that my next chance to relax wouldn't come until after the elaborate feast was over. Now, with the part of the holiday I least enjoy already out of the way, only the best is yet to come–sharing a bountiful meal with our loved ones nestled into their carefully arranged seats.
These pancakes are denser than your typical fare with a texture reminiscent of pumpkin bread. I like to keep the spices on the light side so the pumpkin flavor shines through, but you can change it up to suit your own taste.
Whisk together the milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mixing only until combined. Stir in the pecans.
Melt some butter on a griddle over low-medium heat. Ladle about 1/3 cup of batter on the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on top and the underside is nicely browned. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or two until browned.
Continue cooking the pancakes until all the batter is used.
Why stop at pancakes? For a pumpkin breakfast trifecta: Pumpkin Pie Waffles with Bourbon Pecan Syrup and Pumpkin Scones.
You mean I cant just sit where I want to sit? Like as far away from my children as possiblle!! Just kidding… (kinda). Everyday is Thanksgiving! And… I am so very thankful to have you and Greg in our lives!
Your recipe was just what I was looking for this morning–pancakes, pumpkin–perfect. I'm not the biggest fan of nuts, so I swapped the pecans for chocolate chips. They overpower the pumpkin and maple though, so next time I'll probably just leave them out.
You know I love me some pancakes! These look like a great way to use the can of pumpkin I have hanging out in my pantry.
Num num num! I will definitely be trying these. I went to buy pecans at Jewel for some homemade granola and could not believe the price tag! $13/bag! I'll definitely pick some up when I'm in Texas for Christmas….unless you have another source.
Pecans are pricey, and the ones at the Jewel aren't the best around. I buy mine at http://www.sunnylandfarms.com/. Have them send you a catalog–lots more options than what is listed on their website. And their pecans are crazy good!

Here's why Kerala has become a new playground for 4G players
Reported by Tharun G December 21st, 2015 at 05:02 pm 44
Vodafone started its 4G innings in India by launching its LTE service in Kochi last week. Just a week later, the company has added Trivandrum to its 4G LTE map, and will soon launch those services in Calicut. Kerala is getting this attention even though more lucrative metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bengaluru are still awaiting 4G services.
Why did Vodafone chose Kerala over metro cities?
Vodafone launched 4G LTE services in two cities in Kerala within a span of two weeks. If you are wondering why the company chose Kerala, their press release points out the following reasons.
Ranked #1 in India in terms of Human Development Index
Ranked as second most urbanised state in India
Smartphones growing at over 65 percent YoY
Data consumption growing at over 80 percent YoY
Data Revenue growing over 75 percent annually
Kerala has globally-aware and tech-savvy customers
Apart from the reasons officially stated reasons, we believe that Vodafone choose Kerala as it was much easier and faster to roll out 4G network there. Compared to big metro cities, Kochi and Trivandrum are relatively small in terms of geographic area and population.
Vodafone was able to rollout its 4G network in a short span of six months after the official announcement and technically met its deadline of December 2015. As per the latest reports, Phase 1 rollout of 4G networks in Kerala, Karnataka, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Delhi will be completed by March 2016.
First circle in India to have two 4G operators and four by 2016
Idea Cellular rules the data market in Kerala, thanks to its vast 3G network. Neither Vodafone nor Airtel could challenge Idea's strong position as they lack 3G spectrum in the circle. However, Airtel was the first operator to launch 4G service in Kerala, which is now available in four cities. Airtel was not seen as an immediate threat to the market leader Idea as it lacked more efficient 900MHz spectrum for 2G service, and was positioned fourth behind BSNL in the circle.
Vodafone comes packed with double power of 4G and 3G. The company is simultaneously deploying 3G network alongside 4G network. Vodafone, who is already positioned at the second best spot in the circle, wants a larger pie of premium data market.
Idea Cellular-dominated 3G market is now being challenged by 4G service from Airtel and Vodafone. To prevent the erosion of its high ARPU data subscribers, market leader Idea is readying its own 4G network. With Idea 4G network going to be live soon, Kerala is the only state in the country to have two 4G players, and it will soon get its third 4G operator. After the launch of Jio 4G service sometime next year, the circle will have four strong 4G players.
Kerala is the premium data market with five 3G and two 4G operators
It is evident that people in Kerala prefer 3G over 2G. The high-smartphone penetration in the circle has created a huge demand for 3G data. Idea, which has 80 percent 3G coverage in the circle, has highest amount of 3G users. The second biggest 3G player is BSNL, which has covered 60% of the circle. BSNL is continuously expanding its 3G footprint in the circle to catch up with Idea. While Idea is set to start its second innings in the premium data market with 4G services, BSNL still hasn't made any solid plans for 4G service rollout.
While all the big players are ready with 3G and 4G services, the three small players – Reliance Communications, Tata DoCoMo, and Aircel – may not survive the 4G storm. Reliance Communications may bank on Reliance Jio for launching 4G through ICRA or use MTS spectrum for 4G service after the said merger. Tata DoCoMo, which already failed to expand its 3G network beyond a few cities, may not survive in a premium data market like Kerala. Aircel, which scaled down the operation in the circle, will mostly likely exit the circle soon after selling its 2G and 3G spectrum to others.

This is an addon for Tough as Nails, which adds a cooking spit which can be placed on the top face of the campfire and right clicked with uncooked food. If the campfire is active/burning, it will cook the food over time.
what is the recipe of this things?
Hello,This mod is very good! I want to repost this mod to MCBBS, The biggest minecraft forum in China.And I will translate it to Chinese,then I will sent you.I hope to hear from you soon!
Whenever a raw meat object on the spit turns to "cooked" it is also creating 2 gold ingots for every unoccupied slot on the spit. So it's like a carnivorous money tree.
Maybe some recipe config options might help? I think the challenge with relying on recipes from mods is they can get pretty unpredictable, so maybe even a whitelist option in the config might help to keep it simple (with default whitelist config settings for vanilla/common raw meats etc).
That's... odd. Do you have another mod installed? I can probably fix it regardless by not allowing blank items to have a result. As for a white/blacklist, that is a good idea, some items you might not want to cook even though they are food.
I've added a new file that should have these features and fix that bug, tell me if it doesn't work.
Is this compatible with other mods like pams harvestcraft, and animania?
Looking at the source code, it appears to based off whether the item is a food or not and if it can be smelted.
Yep, there are no custom recipes it just uses furnace recipes that have a result that extends ItemFood.
hm interesting, I assume this is because when I am checking if it is food or not I'm messing something up. I will look into this.
Hm can you try it with just TAN and this mod? I'm not having the stone thing, though I am going to fix the metadata issue. Right clicking with sticks does nothing for me.
have you considered a config option as to what can light a campfire and what percentage of chance it has?
Are you sure both mods are updated? I just released a new file yesterday. The campfire is not my block it is from Tough as Nails so I don't know why it is behaving in that way. I don't believe I am modifying its behavior. Tell me if you have the latest version and it still is named incorrectly.
OK I fixed the naming issue, I will upload the file now.

Coronavirus leads Burger King, Tim Horton's parent to pay franchisees
In an open letter on Monday, CEO of Burger King, Popeye's and Tim Horton's parent company Restaurant Brands International Jose Cil said that the company is giving cash payments and rebates to its restaurant owners impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
"We are one of the largest franchisors of restaurant brands in the world and we take our responsibility to ensure the financial health of our restaurant owners very seriously, particularly during difficult times," Cil said. "In many markets around the world, including North America, we are advancing cash payments and rebates to restaurant owners so that they have this much-needed cash when they need it the most—right now."
In North America, the total figure will be an estimated $70 million in cash advances.
The company will also give a special bonus in April to all of its corporate restaurant team members in North America to "recognize their tremendous service to guests and communities" and provide up to 14 days of paid sick leave for U.S. employees of Burger King and Popeye's and a $40 million support fund for Tim Horton's employees. The Toronto-based coffee and donut chain will have that fund fueled by Canadian dollars.
In addition, the company has temporarily converted to 100 percent variable rent for approximately 3,700 eligible Tim Hortons locations in Canada and Burger King locations in the U.S. and Canada and have deferred rent payments for up to 45 days.
WHAT DOES THE CORONAVIRUS STIMULUS PACKAGE MEAN FOR RESTAURANTS?
To ensure the safety of both its employees and customers, Cil said the company has "deployed stringent cleaning and hygiene standards at all restaurants" such as sanitizing high contact surfaces more frequently and making hand sanitizer available to everyone and is in the process of deploying 15,000 infrared thermometers to all Burger King, Tim Horton's and Popeye's locations.
The company has also increased home delivery availability and mobile pick up with its restaurants' apps. Curbside and front door take out will be offered to guests who can't access drive-thrus or who arrive on foot.
Looking to the future, Cil said the company will continue to listen to the input of its employees and customers when making coronavirus-related decisions going forward.
"There is undoubtedly more uncertainty and tough decisions ahead of us. And we will tackle them as a team, with a wide range of voices and perspectives that will make us stronger", he said.
QSR RESTAURANT BRANDS INTERNATIONAL, INC. 58.40 +1.19 +2.08%
Restaurant Brand International has previously assisted healthcare workers and first responders in the fight against the coronavirus.
Burger King donated $1 million renminbi in China to the Red Cross to support frontline medical staff and has been providing free meal delivery to hospitals and to on-duty police officers. In Italy, the restaurant chain has donated meals to local hospitals and 8 tons of food to the Red Cross.
Tim Horton's has deployed coffee trucks throughout Canada to offer free coffee and donuts to health care workers and first responders at hospitals, health care centers and COVID-19 test facilities.
According to the letter, Restaurant Brands International ended 2019 with about $1.5 billion in cash and currently has approximately $2.5 billion in cash on hand.
