Stacey Harmon: "Why Michael Hyatt is Wrong about Organizing Evernote with Tags" | Evernote Blog Stacey Harmon: "Why Michael Hyatt is Wrong about Organizing Evernote with Tags"
If you've been following Evernote's blog and Medium publication for any length of time, you know that we don't prescribe a "best" way to organize your notes. Part of Evernote's strength lies in its flexibility—offering you multiple techniques for keeping your life on track.
Over the years a lively debate has sprung up between advocates of notebook-based organization and fans of tagging individual notes. We've often shared the viewpoint of Michael Hyatt, an outspoken proponent of tags. Now, Evernote Certified Consultant Stacey Harmon makes the case for notebooks. Who's right? That, dear reader, is up to you.
In my years as an Evernote consultant, it has been many times that I've seen Michael Hyatt's blog post, How I Organize Evernote, linked to online and discussed on social media as the de-facto solution for how to organize Evernote.
In his post, Michael goes into detail about how he organizes his Evernote account. He uses only four notebooks in his entire account, and the rest of his organization is based on a fairly complex system of tagging, so he can retrieve notes once he's created them.
The problem is… tags aren't the only way to organize Evernote. Yet, the visibility and success of Michael Hyatt often makes it seem to many like tags are the "right" way to organize Evernote. Despite my admiration for Michael Hyatt (I'm a fan!), I disagree with his perspective on organizing Evernote.
Tags are one way to organize Evernote, but for me, they aren't the right way.
The right way for me — as well as the vast majority of the people I have coached over my years as an Evernote consultant — is by using notebooks and stacks as the primary organizing blocks of Evernote, with tags being used not as an organizational tool, but a find feature in Evernote.
In this post, I give my perspective on why using tags to organize your Evernote account isn't practical, present some advice on what you should you do instead, and give some examples of how using tags might be useful in very specific circumstances.
What's Wrong with Using Tags to Organize Evernote?
I believe there are several major disadvantages to using tags to organize your Evernote account.
Tags display differently, depending on which device you're on. If you're on your desktop, you can nest tags on the desktop to provide some visual organization, but those nested tags won't display in the Evernote app on your iPhone.
Instead, on your mobile device, you'll see an alphabetical list of all your tags, nullifying any advantage you have to the desktop organization of your tags. And, this will be a big hindrance for retrieving information from your mobile device via tags.
I coach people that the Evernote mobile app is best used for capturing and retrieving information, not organizing it (this is best saved for the desktop app). So why would you organize your data in a way that isn't supported on the mobile device? You are putting yourself at a disadvantage to find what you need, right out of the gate.
If you're using tags as the sole organizational system for your Evernote account, it's incredibly easy to mess up and forget to add a tag (or a few tags, if you're using a complex tagging system). That means one small error could cause trouble.
One of the biggest fears of new Evernote users is that their notes will "get lost" – meaning their notes will fall through the cracks and become unfindable. Given that fear, why would you create an Evernote organizational system that's so fragile?
Relying on notebooks to organize your notes makes your system considerably more hardy and less susceptible to failure when you make tiny mistakes (which you inevitably will).
Because you can create tags so easily, it's easy for your list of tags to get completely out of hand. Yes, you can create 100,000 tags – but do you really want to? A tag-based system of organizing your organization simply isn't scalable once you start putting your entire life into Evernote (as I have).
This is another point that Tiago eloquently made in his post that I totally agree with: Humans suffer from memory fatigue.
When you use tags to organize your Evernote account, you need to remember every single tag you've ever used, including how each tag is punctuated and spelled.
This may not seem daunting when you're at the beginning of your Evernote journey, and you've only created 10 tags, but after you've used Evernote for years, your tag list may grow into the thousands. Can you remember that many tags, and use them perfectly? No human can.
You also can't rely on Evernote's autofill feature to jog your memory. The autofill feature doesn't work on all devices, so if you're using autofill on your phone, you're out of luck.
A tag-based organization in Evernote can completely fall apart when you start collaborating and sharing your information with collaborators.
You can't share a group of notes with someone that is based on tags. If I wanted to share a group of notes tagged "Social Media" with my assistant, it wouldn't be possible. You can share a notebook with others. You can share a note or several notes with others. But you can't share a group of notes that all share the same tag.
This is a point that I haven't seen in previous discussions about Evernote organization, and it's a major disadvantage to organizing by tags.
Most people use Evernote for their own personal organization, but they don't share their notes and notebooks with friends, family members, and colleagues – and that's a huge missed opportunity. It's one of the major ways people underutilize Evernote.
There's another problem with collaboration and tags: When you share a notebook with others, your tags will appear in that person's account.
See the example below. This is not my tag ("Stacey Harmon Sales Page – Radical Productivity with Evernote"), but this note is in one of my shared notebooks, so the tag appears in my account because one of my collaborators created it.
Sharing and collaborating is one of the biggest reasons I love using Evernote, so for me, these problems are one of the most compelling arguments for not using a tag-based system.
I use notebooks and stacks to organize my information and provide visual structure to my account. Stacks are key to keeping my notebook structure visually clutter free, collapsing my nearly 250 notebooks down to 8 tidy stacks.
I have my notebook/stack list displayed on the left hand sidebar on the desktop app to act as a visual roadmap to my data.
I drag key notes, notebooks, and searches to the shortcuts area of Evernote for quick access to my most frequently accessed data.
I often prep my notes so I can find them later in search. That means I work to give each note a meaningful title, and add searchable keywords to the body of the note if necessary.
Advantage #1: You can use the search function to find anything, and it's nearly instant.
When you stop relying on tags, you'll start using the search function to find what you need. This is exactly what I do, and I can find whatever I seek in Evernote in just a few seconds….even with 26,000+ notes in my account.
There are many ways to search in Evernote. You simply need to know how to search correctly, and become a bit more fluent in search techniques, and you'll be able to retrieve anything. If a word or phrase is somewhere in Evernote (including in note titles, notebook titles, the text of the note, in your images and documents within a note, or in your handwriting on a scanned note) Evernote search will be able to find it for you.
Advantage #2: A notebook-based organizational system makes things easier and faster to find.
When you organize your account with notebooks and stacks, you'll have natural groupings to your data, most of which your brain will remember (just like when you had lots of manilla folders and you knew that the meeting notes were in a particular project folder). And, your brain can often instantly see the notebook you are looking for when scanning your notebook list on the left-hand sidebar, or typing a few characters in the notebook search field from your mobile device. This provides you the option to go right to your data as your brain knows which notebook holds what you are looking for.
A notebook based approach also benefits you when you navigate Evernote using advanced functions such as "Jump to" which bring up a note and notebook list that can be filtered with a few keystrokes, and more often than not, brings you directly to the exact note you are seeking.
And, should either of these approaches fail you, the full power of Evernote search will uncover what you seek. Because search is so powerful, it is possible to simply create a system of notebooks and stacks that makes sense for your workflow, start adding notes, and rely on the search function to retrieve information.
Advantage #3: Using notebooks works the same everywhere, on every device.
No matter what device you're using to access Evernote, your notes, notebooks, and stacks will display in the same organization as you see on other devices.
There's no need to worry about not being able to find something when you switch from your phone to your laptop, or vice versa.
Michael Hyatt brought up a few problems associated with using notebooks in Evernote, and these are the main objections I hear from people who are currently using a tag-based system.
Let's address them, one at a time.
The constraint of 250 notebooks for non-business accounts is true, but you can absolutely make 250 notebooks work for you – if you actively manage the notebooks you use. That means you'll need to regularly review your account, and collapse (or consolidate) notebooks you're no longer actively using.
If you absolutely must have more notebooks, you can upgrade your Evernote subscription – you can have 5,000 notebooks with a Business account – but this isn't essential or my recommended advice.
Smaller constraints are actually better, and with fewer notebooks, you'll be able to work more efficiently and will have a stop-gap in place to avoid any challenges associated with digital bloat.
We've all been trained (through email, and computer technology) that the right way to organize things is to use hierarchies that are many levels deep – but it's not necessarily the best way.
If you're using the search function correctly, it doesn't matter if you can nest your notes and notebooks.
The power of my Evernote organization system is its flatness and flexibility. If you prep your notes for search success (note naming conventions are key here), it doesn't matter where your notes live – you'll be able to locate them.
This objection is really best addressed by creating a proper workflow that meets your needs for how you want to interact with your information, rather than addressing how the data is organized in Evernote. As stated, I advocate organizing the data in notebooks and stacks. If you're prepping your notes for search success and you're fluent in Evernote search, you can find anything you need at any time. It doesn't matter that a note only exists in one notebook.
When your workflow is clear, you can then deploy more advanced Evernote features such as note links (hyperlinks from one note to another) to create structure within your account and easily reference notes that are related, but live in other notebooks.
I want to make it clear that I'm not anti-tags. I just think they are best used in workflow design vs. as the foundation of your Evernote organizational system. For most people, they should be used as a tool for finding things, rather than a tool for organizing your information.
Tags can be useful as a find feature, so I recommend treating them like the icing on the cake when you're setting up your Evernote account (instead of using them like the entire cake, as many people do).
Collapsing or archiving notebooks. If you're regularly managing your notebooks (see above), you can use tags to convert your Notebooks to tags when you're no longer using them. Simply tag all the data in that Notebook, and put it into an Archive notebook.
Pulling "dashboard" data from across multiple notebooks. For example, you could have a note in each client notebook called "Progress Report for " and this note could be tagged as "Weekly Meeting". This would allow you to pull all the progress reports from across your entire Evernote account if you wanted to review the status of all your client projects during a regular weekly meeting.
Tracking status. Tags are best used when there is a limited number of set items to track. For example, movement of something from Active, to Pending, to Completed. Creating a static set of tags to represent the process and then updating the tag as the note moves through the process is an good use case for tags.
Using third-party applications. Evernote integrates beautifully with thousands of third-party platforms, and many of those applications use tagging as part of their integrations. For example, TaskClone uses tags to share tasks from Evernote directly into their app.
Tags can be an important tool in the Evernote world, but overall I think basing your Evernote organization on a structured system of notebooks and stacks is an easier and more efficient way of being able to pull up any note you need, from any device, at any time.

Clarence William Downing, resident of Mount Pulaski and vicinity most of his life, died at 4:20 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, 1942, at the home of his brother, Ellis C. Downing, two miles northwest of Mount Pulaski, aged 55 years, 10 months and 3 days.
His illness was of short duration. He went to his brother's home last Friday morning, feeling ill at the time. Pneumonia set in and early Monday morning he suffered a stroke.
Mr. Downing was born Nov. 25, 1886, on the same farm where he died, a son of William H. and Eliza Harding Downing. He spent his boyhood days on the old home place, and after his marriage to Lena Drake operated a farm four miles northwest of the city for a few years. He later devoted his time to machine work, being interested in the garage business for a period of years, and before the time of the combine, operated thrashing machines, and did a great deal of machine repair work all over Logan county. During the past year he was employed in Petersburg, but just a few weeks ago returned to work for Everett Brooker. He was a member of the Mount Pulaski Odd Fellows lodge.
Decedent is survived by one son, Darwin Downing, who is in the U. S. Navy and stationed in Boston, Mass., and three brothers, Ellis C. and Ennis A., of Mount Pulaski, and Floyd Downing of Springfield.
The body was removed to the Schahl funeral home, and at 5 p.m. Tuesday was returned to the Ellis C. Downing home.
Funeral services were held in the Mount Pulaski Christian church at 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. Wayne Staley. Two hymns, "Lead Kindly Light," and "Abide With Me," were sung by Mrs. Fred Mayer, Jr., and Mrs. Everett Beidler, with Mrs. Frank E. Turley Turley as organ accompanist. The Odd Fellows attended the service in a body.
Burial was in Mount Pulaski cemetery. The pallbearers were Claude W. Upp, Frank Rentachier, Albert Rentmeister, Harvey McCain, Charles Mann and Roscoe Humphrey.
Clarence Downing was my great uncle.

I'd like to introduce Servants, our kinship treasure keeper. Servants is maintained by Athelian/Jenuilas.
Servants will function within the Kinship as a "trust fund" for all members. I'm sure we've all come across items in-game which we cannot use, due to being a different class of creature or craftsman, and while we briefly rue how rich/powerful/high-level we could be if we could equip or use said item(s), we end up selling it to a vendor for coppers on the silver, shaking our head in disgust.
Well no more. The primary purpose of Servants is to provide a member-generated/perpetuated vault of "goodies"--be they crafting items, profession items, armour, game gold, or weaponry--by and for SotSF members, solely for their use in furthering their character's stats and levels. Using resources from Servants is completely FREE to our members.
What this means is this: The next time you stumble on something that you know is cool, but you can't use, donate it to the Kinship by sending it to Servants to hold in trust for future use by Kinship members who can use the item. The same thing applies to crafting items and game-gold. By creating our own economic base, our Kinship members will grow and prosper, enhancing our own sense of Community and our overall esprit de corps. In the end, we create a stronger, tighter and long-lived Kinship.
1. First, I will say this: We are not in the business taxing or titheing anything from our members who have every right to believe this is a lame idea. PARTICIPATION IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY!!
2. If however, you wish to utilize Servants, the only "requirement" is that you, as a member, and on your honor, simply replace the item you are given with an item that would be equally of use to another member at another time, as soon as you are able to do so. It has to work this way, or it will never become a self-perpetuating system, and it will die.
3. If you need something, contact Servants or Athelian. If we have any part of what you need, it will be sent to you by Servants on a first-come, first-served basis. For example: You may need 100 medium hides to level your crafting. We have 73 in the vault. You get all 73.
4. With that in mind, take only what you need. If you need 73 hides, please don't say you need 100. Leave what's left for another member to use.
With that, I hereby declare Servants open for business. Send him your stuff, safe in the knowledge that someday you'll get stuff back!

Thank you Nogg! A very chic purse you've got there!
I am assuming that Servants is parked in Bree next to the Vault, so that overflow can be stored there as well?
Nogg and Athelian, who will be the main points of contact for any Treasury Vault inquiries, are trusted and loyal friends of the Chief and kinship, and we should all afford them the respect they deserve. Cheers to our new Treasurers, and cheers to the Servants, for establishing its first pot of money!

Excellent work Nogg! I like this idea a LOT! And Boffo's idea of a Treasury vault for prizes is an awesome addition as well. I used up quite a bit of bag and vault space over the week before that race and it caused no end of frustration.
If I notice something has been stored a long time (and therefore taking up valuable limited vault space) and no one has shown any interest in it I will attempt to auction it or vendor it and put the cash back into the Treasury.

We should also discuss the possibility of "lending" gold and silver from the Treasury, if someone is in dire need. This would have to operate on an honor system, and as such, "borrowing" would be reserved for members of the kinship whom have proven their fairness and loyalty.
Last edited by Gandalf'sMother on Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:28 am, edited 1 time in total.
Thanks for the heads up. I have spoken with Turbine, and the message was that this can be avoided as long as everyone donating to our vault does NOT, ever, purchase gold from 3rd parties. In the case in question, it is highly probable that someone in their kinship either directly or indirectly donated gold that was obtained through a third party - i.e an illegal gold-selling service.
Turbine is now aware of our own plans to raise money, and as such, I have been assured that we have little to worry about.
Perhaps we should limit cash donations until we know for sure what Turbine plans on doing in situations such as this?
I would hope that no one in our kinship would buy gold from a gold seller but you never know.

Don't worry, jaix and I have spoken with Turbine and Noggie-poo will be fine.
Last edited by Gandalf'sMother on Thu Aug 04, 2011 7:29 am, edited 1 time in total.
"Noggie-poo"? I think I'm insulted. Not sure tho....lemme get back to you.
Prepare for a large influx of scrolls and potions as I start the Scholar grind again!
Potions! I'm always running out of those. Also, I always forget to have food in my bags. Is there anyway we can stock a pantry in Servant's head?
I'm a cook. I can stock it.
Bumping to remind everyone of this excellent resource available to the kinship.
If you are starting your higher level class quests, check the vault first as there are some items in there that will save you a good deal of grinding time.
There are also health potions, crafting scrolls for buffing up your crit chance, and recipes. I'm going to also be stocking the vault with stacks of food for those critical health buffs.
Also, in preparation for kinship housing (which Tubine assures us is on the horizon and is expected to be expensive), we welcome any small donations/ spare change, which you can mail directly to "Servants".
I'm resurrecting this thread. Could be useful. Any updates, Ath or Nogg?
He also has an extensive collection of the level 45 class quest items, so before purchasing from the auction house or visiting the lovely Carn Dum or Urugarth, check with him. This also applies to many of the gathering items that are tradeable.
Anyone who is feeling rich and generous can click on the housing tab in their character panel and pay the kinship house upkeep for the week. I like to always keep it paid six weeks in advance.
And always, if you need something, just ask! You never know what donated items Servants may have in his inventory. And if it is a dire need, he will do his best to get it for you.
Last edited by Athelian on Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:49 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Before purchasing or grinding for any level 45 class quests items, check the chest in Boffo's house (right next to the neighborhood entrance). If you don't see what you need in there, ask me and I'll see if I have anything stashed elsewhere.
As I only dig the stuff out of the ground and don't craft it, I'm not sure what resources people need.
I'm up to the third tier of resource gathering. I auction the stuff normally, but I think I have too much money already (atleast I haven't found much to spend it on yet).
Does anyone need ingots, wood, leather or the critical success ingredients?
"Legendary books and pages"? What is this? You mean I don't have to grind out mobs in Angmar and Eregion to get them? If so, then Muleskinner can certainly use some!
Kilderkin... the legendary pages, once upon a time, were not bind on acquire and could be traded freely. Alas, it is no longer so.
Frogsinmyhair... you are welcome to donate any excess materials to the kinship either by mailing to Servants or putting them directly in the chests in the kinhouse.

Baptists excited and hopeful about papal visit
NewsJeff Brumley | September 21, 2015
By Jeff Brumley
Think Catholics are pumped about Pope Francis' U.S. visit this week? Turns out some Baptists are pretty excited, too.
And those who aren't, probably should be for a number of reasons, said Curtis Freeman.
One reason is that Pope Francis I is the only Christian in the world who every other Christian and non-Christian recognizes, said Freeman, director of the Baptist House of Studies at Duke University.
"He is the only Christian who can speak for all Christians in the world," Freeman said. "We have no Baptist, no Protestant, like him — we are all so fragmented."
Baptists should value the pope because "sometimes we need a single voice" to address issues like the environment, forgiveness in marriage and the economy, he said.
That's not to discount the important role played by other Christian leaders in their traditions and in society, Freeman said. But it doesn't have the same impact as a papal decree or gesture.
"If … Suzii Paynter sends out a press release, that's good. But when the pope speaks, the world listens," Freeman said.
Of course, that doesn't mean Francis or other popes have spoken for worldwide Christianity in a binding or authoritative way, Freeman added. And he conceded there are many who reject the validity of the papacy and even of Catholicism.
"It's OK if you want to reject that," he said. "But ask yourself this: when you speak, is the world listening at all?"
Missionally minded Baptists and other Protestants should also take a strong interest in Francis' visit — particularly in the places he chooses to visit.
"CBF folks are always asking, 'Where is God at work in the world?'" Freeman said. "If you pay attention to Francis, he will tell you."
He noted that two of Francis' planned stops include the White House and a prison.
"He's kind of a prophetic figure who says, 'Here is where Christ is at work — it's among these children and in these prisons but also in the Oval Office," he said.
Freeman said he knows he isn't alone in this attitude toward Francis. He recalled attending a Wednesday night church supper held shortly after the pontiff's election in 2013. He spotted another member wearing a T-shirt expressing the wearer's love of Francis.
"Ours is a church interested in social justice but I was not expecting to see someone at a Baptist Wednesday night church supper wearing a Francis shirt," Freeman said.
'Looking for some surprises'
Seeing those images may help Americans witness a model of dialogue that rises above the heated rhetoric currently defining U.S. politics and religion, said Steven Harmon, author of Towards Baptist Catholicity: Essays on Tradition and the Baptist Vision.
"He has been able to speak beyond the traditional American polarities," said Harmon, a visiting associate professor of historical theology at Gardner-Webb University School of Divinity.
"In America we try to fit that into a progressive-conservative polarity," Harmon said. "Instead of falling into those ways of defining the connection between faith and politics, it will be helpful to see how he can help us transcend that."
Francis has also been intentional about ecumenical openness and affirming the validity of other forms of Christianity, Harmon said. He said it wouldn't surprise him if the U.S. visit sparks some of those kinds of conversations, including among ethnic minority groups.
The pope has forged strong relationships with evangelicals in Latin America — including among groups that have historically been critical of, and even hostile toward, the Vatican, Harmon said.
"Latin American Baptists have been much more receptive of Baptist-Catholic ecumenical dialogue," he said.
Harmon urged Americans to pay attention to the pope's actions while in the U.S., not just his words.
"This is a pope for whom symbolic gestures accomplish much," Harmon said. "I am looking for some surprises."
'It's the prophetic side'
Francis' visit will also be a shot in the arm to ministers and others whose concerns are social justice in America, said Rodney Kennedy, a Baptist known for his embrace of ancient liturgical practices.
"He's coming into the lion's den to speak a message of social justice in a nation consumed with consumerism and materialism," said Kennedy, lead pastor of First Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio.
Francis' visit, particularly to the economically challenged areas on his itinerary, will serve as a boost in the arm to others who share those values in ministry, Kennedy said.
"His critique is important to all of us who minister to the poor and the oppressed," he said.
Kennedy said it will be unusual for people like him to see so much attention being given to a Christian who cares so much about serving the least of these.
"Usually, the big Christian voices are not on our side" in a nation where "the social gospel gets treated in such dismal ways," he said.
Kennedy said he's less interested in Francis' visit because of the liturgical practices of Catholicism.
"For me it's the prophetic side," he said.
"He is getting to the core claims of the gospel and he is doing it in such powerful ways that I am encouraged," Kennedy said.

Making £20 Universal Credit uplift permanent could cost many households up to £350 in tax
A £20 uplift in Universal Credit could cost up to £350 for many households, according to figures circulated by Treasury sources, amid a mounting row over welfare spending. Ahead of a vote forced by Labour on Monday evening, Conservative MPs have been urged to consider the impact of making the temporary increase permanent on the public finances, which have already been ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic. MPs in former Labour 'Red Wall' seats have now signalled they will obey instructions to abstain in the opposition day debate, but are still calling on the Chancellor Rishi Sunak to keep the uplift until coronavirus restrictions are eased. The Government increased the benefit payments for nearly six million people in March to help families cope with the coronavirus crisis, adding an extra £1,040 to claimants' annual incomes. With lockdown restrictions still in place, there are differing opinions in Government over extending the uplift beyond its current end date of April, with some ministers concerned that it could become permanent. Therese Coffey, the Work and Pensions Secretary, is leading calls for an extension, while the Chancellor Rishi Sunak is pushing for other options to be considered, such as a one-off lump sum payment. Sources close to Mr Sunak insist all options remain on the table and that he has not ruled out an extension. Mr Johnson, who is still be weighing up the options, is likely to make a decision in the coming weeks before the Chancellor makes a formal announcement at the Budget in March.

The Russian River Brewing Company is Doing it Their Way, With a Little Help From Their Friends
Sonoma County is a world-class destination renowned for its beautiful scenery, bucolic weather, spectacular food, and of course, wine. But something happened a few years ago when the craft brewing industry came to town. Sonoma County has since attracted some of the best brewers in the industry and today, hundreds of thousands of tourists travel across the world to taste beer in wine country.
Nowhere is this success more evident than at The Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa. The company boasts 100% capacity in their two breweries and they have almost completed a third brewery in nearby Windsor. Their wildly popular brew pub in downtown Santa Rosa served almost 400,000 visitors in 2017. This destination brewery always has something new on tap, creating even more demand for their special brews. Their most popular beer, Pliny the Younger, a Triple IPA, is released once a year on the first Friday in February for a two-week period. The limited release has become a pilgrimage for beer fans from around the globe with some customers waiting in line for more than 10 hours.
With demand for their beers causing traffic jams in downtown Santa Rosa, Russian River knew they needed to expand their operation. Owned and operated by Vinnie and Natalie Cilurzo— who insist on doing it their way— "We're committed to maintaining our independence and controlling our process," says co-owner Vinnie Cilurzo. "We knew our new facility needed to accommodate our customers, allow us to produce our beers with traditional methods, and safeguard the environment. This was no easy feat!"
The new brewery, brewpub and restaurant is slated to open in the fall of 2018. The 85,000 square foot facility will double Russian River's production to 35,000 barrels per year. Located on 15 acres in Windsor, California, it will feature a gift shop, guided and self-guided tours, a 200-seat brewpub and outdoor beer garden with 18-20 beers on tap, including rotating seasonal brews such as Pliny the Younger."
Balancing respect for traditional methods with state of the art brewing techniques and technology, combined with their commitment to the environment was a design challenge for the new Russian River brewery. "Sustainable production is really important to us," said Natalie Cilurzo. "We want to ensure we remain conscious of our environmental impact as we grow."
Craft brewers are driving green initiatives in the beverage sector, and Russian River is no exception. "We must adhere to our rigorous quality standards while cutting our carbon footprint," said Vinnie Cilurzo. "We're committed to reducing and reusing water as well as recapturing energy."
"Russian River's proactive approach led them to seek the most efficient and sustainable process solutions," said Barnum Mechanical's Process Engineer, Kyle Harris. "They wanted to raise the bar on water reduction and reuse, and we were happy to help. We installed several leading-edge technologies including the Cambrian Innovation EcoVolt MBR, a modular aerobic digester that removes 99% of contaminates from industrial waste water. This allowed them to recycle the water back into their other processes such as their Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems.
"We also worked with them on installing a custom-designed G&D Chiller. The chiller utilizes an evaporative condenser, making it a hybrid system which uses both air and reclaimed water from the Cambrian MBR for cooling" said Harris. "This technology could reduce Russian River's chiller energy use between 30 – 40 percent, as compared to similarly sized systems." "We are utilizing highly efficient screw compressors with class A refrigerant, which is among the lowest Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants in the industry" said Andy Backer, G&D Chiller's Vice President of Sales.
"Recovering resources and energy which would otherwise be lost, and recycling it back into the process is a key focus for Barnum Mechanical," said Harris. "We design and build process systems with an eye toward the big picture."

I enjoy having a tank bag as a convenient place to store my wallet, phone, snacks, camera, and other small accessories when riding. I used the Cortech 8L magnetic bag on the BumbleBee, but this time I went for the 18L bag and have no regrets at all!
Simple – put it on!
I have had multiple people tell me that they are skeptical about magnets holding the Cortech bags on, especially when loaded with stuff. Additionally, we do get some vicious winds here in Colorado!
I am happy to tell you that I've now ridden almost 10,000 miles in between the 8L and 18L bags and they have performed flawlessly, even in rainstorms, wind, and snow! I absolutely LOVE that the 18L converts into a backpack (using attached, hidden straps) and I have that feature multiple times when running to the store, or even for overnight trips when I want to take some things with me walking around town. The bag comes with a stowaway rain cover that is easy to put on and has worked perfectly in multiple, heavy rains. Highly recommended!

BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2019 . . . Best book
There's no competition, I don't have a prize to offer, but there are are certainly no losers. like many other amateur book reviewers I can only be grateful to publicists, publishers and, of course, writers, who trust me with their work. Here are five of the best books of 2019 – feel free to agree or disagree with my thoughts.
Val McDermid's wonderful odd couple Tony Hill and Carol Jordan don't have it in them, for a variety of complex reasons, to love each other in any conventional sense, and How The Dead Speak finds their relationship more fractured than ever. Tony is in prison and Carol's bosses have finally lost patience, and she is left to pace the moors around her solitary home. Tony's venomous mother makes an appearance as she coerces Jordan into investigating a fraud case, while the equally abrasive Bronwen Scott seeks her help as she tries to put together a case for an appeal against a murder conviction. Back in Bradfield, Jordan's former team are almost literally knee deep in the mysterious case of dozens of skeletons found in the grounds of a former Roman Catholic care home. As ever, McDermid puts in front of us a plate full of delicious mysteries and a few elegantly salted red herrings – crime fiction haute cuisine at its best.
James Lee Burke celebrated his eighty third birthday earlier this month and, thankfully, shows no sign that his powers have deserted him. His brooding and haunted Louisiana lawman Dave Robicheux returned in The New Iberia Blues with another adventure set in the humid bayous and crumbling colonial mansions of Acadiana. Dave – with, of course, his long-time offsider Clete Purcell – tries to solve a series of grisly killings involving a driven movie director deeply in hock to criminal backers, a preening and narcissistic former mercenary and a religious crazy man on the run from Death Row. We even have the return of the bizarre and deranged contract killer known as Smiley – surely one of the most sinister and damaged killers in all crime fiction. As ever, there's a deep vein of morality and conscience running through the book, amid the corpses, shoot-outs and hot spoonfuls of Southern Noir.
There is an understandable temptation to lionise a book, irrespective of its merit, when it is published posthumously, the last work of a fine writer who died far too soon. Metropolis, by Philip Kerr, however, is a bloody good book irrespective of any sentiment the reader may have about the passing of its author. Kerr's Bernie Gunther, has traversed the decades – and half the globe – in his adventures. Peron's Argentina, the cauldron of Nazi Germany, Somerset Maugham's Riviera in the 1950s and the haunted Katyn Forest. Now, though, Kerr puts Gunther firmly back where it all started, in 1920s Berlin. While Gunther poses as a crippled war veteran in an attempt to catch a serial killer, we rub shoulders with the likes of Otto Dix, George Grosz and Lotte Lenya. Philip Kerr is gone, but Bernie Gunther – cynical, brave, compassionate and resourceful – will live for ever.
Sometimes, the sheer bravura, joy and energy of a writer's work makes us happily turn a blind eye to improbabilities. Let's face it, Christopher Fowler's Arthur Bryant and John May have been solving crimes since the Luftwaffe was raining bombs down on London and, by rights, they should be, like Betjeman's Murray Posh and Lupin Pooters "Long in Kelsal Green and Highgate silent under soot and stone." But they live on, and long may they defy Father Time. In The Lonely Hour, in this case the haunted moments around 4.00 am, they try to track down a killer who is using an arcane and archaic weapon – a surgical device called a trocar. The trocar was a tube devised to allow the body to be punctured in order to facilitate the escape of gases or fluids. There is comedy both high and low, a mesmerising journey through hidden London – and just enough darkness to remind us that murder is a serious business.

HOW THE DEAD SPEAK . . . Between the covers
al McDermid was anxious that over-enthusiastic reviewers and fans might give away the ending of her previous Carol Jordan and Tony Hill novel, Insidious Intent (click to read my review). So, given that there will be readers who have that novel on their TBR pile, no spoiler from me. Suffice to say that the metaphorical IED that blasted Jordan and Hill off the road in the final pages of the book have left them in, shall we say, rather difficult circumstances, and at the beginning of How The Dead Speak we find Carol Jordan very much a former police officer while Dr Hill is serving a four year jail sentence.
After the events of which we will not speak, Jordan's Regional Major Incident Team has been disbanded while the woman who was its beating heart and soul keeps her fragile psyche from harm by continuing to renovate her home, a former barn on a heather covered northern hillside. Visitors are few and usually unwelcome, but none more so than Tony Hill's vindictive and manipulative mother Vanessa who, after inflicting her abrasive personality on her son in a prison visit, coerces Jordan into using her investigative skills to track down a fraudster who has conned her out of a small fortune. Only slightly less welcome is Bronwen Scott, Tony Hill's solicitor. She also has a job for Jordan, but this time it is to establish grounds for an appeal against a murder conviction handed down to a gay man who, the jury believes, has murdered a rent boy.
eanwhile, back in the fictional city of Bradfield (which I have always assumed to be Leeds/Bradford) Jordan's old ReMIT has been given the kiss of life. Its first post-resuscitation job, under the ambitious but box-ticking leadership of DCI Ian Rutherford, is to investigate the gruesome discovery of dozens of human remains in the grounds of a former Roman Catholic children's home. I am not privy to Val McDermid's religious beliefs, if she has them, but she certainly gets stuck into the darker side of Roman Catholicism's social policy. OK, perhaps it's something of an open goal these days, but as the RMIT try to discover the why and when of the St Margaret Clitherow Refuge skeletons, we learn some dark and unpalatable truths about the 'Brides of Christ' whose singular duty is to obey, no matter what the command.
The forty-or-so skeletons are, to an extent, explained away, but when the investigators find a further series of bodies, much more recent and apparently asphyxiated with plastic bags taped over their heads, the police activity intensifies. McDermid is brave enough to initially consign Jordan and Hill to the outer darkness, but she is canny enough to keep us comfortable by placing familiar figures at the centre of the action. Karim Hussain, Paula MacIntyre and Stacey Chen tut and eyeball-roll behind Rutherford's back but somehow the investigation homes in on the real truth behind the more recent corpses in St Margaret's vegetable garden.
There are police procedurals, and then there are Val McDermid novels. Her ingenuity and unmatched clarity as a storyteller make How The Dead Speak a very special book. The Jordan/Hill story appears to be running on separate rails for part of the journey, but in a beautiful twist, everything comes together.
nd there is a bonus. McDermid – who, as fans of her band will know, is no mean singer – might just be performing a cover version of one of my favourite songs Save The Best For Last (below). If any potential readers are sentimental old (or young) sods like me, you will be permitted a little sniffle and a dab at a moist eye when you read the final pages.
How The Dead Speak is published by Little, Brown and will be out on 22nd August.
BROKEN GROUND . . . Between the covers
The Body In The Bog is a nicely alliterative strapline normally used to liven up reports of archaeologists discovering some centuries-old corpse in a watery peat grave. The deaths of these poor souls does not usually involve an investigation by the local police force, but as Val McDermid relates, when the preserved remains are wearing expensive trainers, it doesn't take the tenant of 221B Baker Street to deduce that the chap was not executed as part of some arcane tribal ritual back in the tenth century.
A pair of hopefuls from England have traveled to the bleak Scottish moors of Wester Ross, armed with what they hope is a treasure map. They hope to uncover not a sturdy wooden chest bursting with pirate doubloons or King John's lost gold, but treasure of a different sort – two mint condition vintage motor cycles, worth a fortune at 2018 prices. They disinter the motorcycles with the help of a friendly local crofter and his mini JCB, but their elation is soured by – yes, you've guessed – the aforementioned fellow and his 1995 Nike Air Max sportswear.
Motorcycles? Buried in a Scottish peat bog? Marked on a map? Has Val McDermid finally lost her marbles after years of inventing fiendish ways for people to die? Leaving no question unanswered, I have to say yes, yes, yes – and an emphatic NO! Breaking Ground is the fifth in McDermid's DCI Karen Pirie series and is shot through with the author's trademark brilliance. McDermid does complex, clever, conflicted women like no-one else, and Pirie – of Police Scotland's Historic Crimes Unit – is a fine cop, scarred by personal tragedy, studiously unglamorous in looks and style, but with a fierce determination to seek justice for victims of crime, both living and dead. The police procedural aspect of the story is cleverly done, and provides the essential counterpont of rivalry, betrayal and bitterness which run beneath the main tune which is the public face of policing.
If music halls were still in vogue, McDermid would be the dextrous juggler, the jongleur who defies gravity by keeping several plot lines spinning in the air; spinning, but always under her control. There is the Nike bog body, a domestic spat which ends in savagery, a cold-case rape investigation which ends in a very contemporary tragedy, and an Assistant Chief Constable who is more concerned about her perfectly groomed press conferences that solving crime. They say that the moon has a dark side, and so does Edinburgh: McDermid (right) takes us on a guided tour through its majestic architectural and natural scenery, but does not neglect to pull away the undertaker's sheet to reveal the squalid back alleys and passageways which lurk behind the grand Georgian facades. We slip past the modest security and peep through a crack in the door at a meeting in one of the grander rooms of Bute House, the official residence of Scotland's First Minister, even getting a glimpse of the good lady herself, although McDermid is far too discreet to reveal if she approves or disapproves of Ms Sturgeon.
Karen Pirie battles the metaphorical demons of her own personal history, while facing more literal malice in the person of a senior officer who is determined to bring her down. The death of her beloved partner Phil has bequeathed emotional turmoil, anger and longing. When she meets a potentially interesting man in the course of a murder investigation, she is conflicted. Is he lying to her? Is he just a glib charmer, ruggedly beautiful in his kilt, or is his interest in her – intentionally dowdy and brusquely professional as she is – genuine?
Val McDermid answers all these questions, and poses a few of her own, particularly about the state of modern Scotland and the role of cash-strapped police forces in a society which demands quick solutions, and to hell with integrity. Broken Ground is published by Little, Brown and is available in hardback and as a Kindle. Amazon says that it will be out in paperback early in 2019.

INSIDIOUS INTENT . . . Between the covers
Crime Fiction's Most Distinctive Odd Couple? There would be several nominations in this category, were it to be at an awards dinner of some kind. You can make your own suggestions, using whatever criteria you wish; eccentricity, diversity of character and background, problem-solving methods – the choice is yours. I am going for sheer darkness, grim back stories, and an occasional incompatibilty that sometimes verges on the disastrous, but also a symbiotic need for each other that has no sexual element but is unique in the annals of crime fiction If this sounds like the relationship between DCI Carol Jordan and clinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill, then we are spot on.
Val McDermid introduced them to us in 1995, with The Mermaids Singing, and now they are back for the tenth episode in their turbulent career. As we turn the first page, Jordan is already in trouble. She has tried to drink her way out of the life-shattering experience of feeling responsible for the terrible murders of her brother and his wife but, inevitably, one glass too many has resulted in a drink driving charge. Her bosses, not always as supportive, have conspired to declare the breathalyser equipment faulty, and Jordan is aquitted. But, having been tested with the same equipment, so is hell-raising young driver Dominic Barrowclough. When Barrowclough celebrates his freedom by killing himself and four other road users, Jordan's guilt begins to reach crisis level.
But there is still a job to be done, and in Carol Jordan's case this is to head up a new police unit, called ReMIT – Regional Major Investigations Team – and their first case is a shocker. In a windswept lay-by on a lonely moorland road, a car is discovered, blazing out of control. When the flames die back sufficiently for the emergency services to get close, the charred remains of a young woman are discovered in the driving seat. The post mortem reveals that she has been strangled, and the blaze started, of all things, by a large box of potato crisp packets. Another such death soon follows, and the ReMIT team discover that they are dealing with a supremely clever killer who befriends his victims at weddings. He 'crashes' the wedding with consummate ease, and then targets young women who have attended the wedding unaccompanied. Spinning a yarn that he is a widower still mourning his late wife's death from cancer, he seems to be the perfect gentleman. Caring, considerate, sexually undemanding – to the unfortunate women he seems like all their Christmases have come at once.
By sheer persistence and a stroke of good fortune, Jordan and her team find themselves a suspect, a young businessman called Tom Elton. But the evidence against him is, at best, circumstantial, and he attends the police interview alongside one of the smartest and most abrasive criminal defence lawyers in the region. Elton is scornful, triumpant, and he literally laughs in the faces of his accusers.
"I thought you lot were supposed to be the elite? I remember the news stories when you were formed. Top Guns, they said," He scoffed, "Top Bums, more like. If I was your man, I'd be dancing in the streets. With you lot running the show, anyone could get away with murder."
All the while, as the investigation gathers speed – and then founders – McDermid demonstrates why she is considered by many to be the greatest contemporary British crime writer. The black clouds loom ever lower over Carol Jordan. Her team, some with their own demons to exorcise, look in vain to their boss for inspiration, while Tony Hill, perhaps for the first time in his career, can see no obvious way out of their travails.
Thomas Hardy, in his Wessex novels, was the master of wicked coincidences; a misinterpreted gesture, words said or unsaid, a lover innocently going to the wrong church for her wedding – these all set in train events which will bring the worlds of these characters down around their heads. McDermid creates one here, albeit one very much of the 21st century. and it contributes to the dramatic and totally unexpected finale of this fine novel. Insidious Intent came out in hardback and Kindle in 2017, and this paperback edition will be available on 22nd February from Sphere.
THE POSTMAN DELIVERS . . . And how!
I became a firm fan of Robert Goddard (left) after reading and reviewing his excellent Maxted trilogy, set in the turbulent days after The Great War. The best novelists are, in a way, both gamblers and alchemists. They are never afraid to try something different, to alter the formula, to 'go for it' with a fresh set of characters or, in extreme cases like Graham Hurley's Joe Faraday, kill off the golden goose and incubate a new brood. Due out on 22 March, Goddard's Panic Room draws us away from the post-Versailles world of James Maxted, and positions us firmly in the modern era. Part political thriller, part psychological drama and part social nightmare, Panic Room deals with the trauma of a young woman escaping those who would do her harm. She takes refuge in a huge empty villa, perched on a wind-buffeted Cornish cliff top. It is vast, and its array of unexplored rooms contains that most modern of social constructs – a panic room. Can Blake find it, and will it be secure enough to save her life?
Robert Parker is one of CriFi's 'bright young things'. His debut novel, A Wanted Man was published in 2017, but hard on the heels of that tale of a released prisoner seeking revenge on his enemies in the violent criminal hinterland of Manchester, he returns with Crook's Hollow. Who knew that there was a CriFi genre called Country Noir? Not me, but the 'Country' in this case is not pedal steel guitars, yee-haw, banjos and frilled shirts, but the rough and ready hardscrabble rural landscape of north west England. The isolated village of Crook's Hollow is not Ambridge, and readers hoping for an everyday tale of country folk should look away now. The Loxley family, with their extensive farms, have exerted an almost feudal influence over the valley for generations. But now their hegemony is being challenged by rapacious property developers, hired muscle and – above all – another local family whose grudges go back a century or more, and will only be expiated in blood. Crook's Hollow is out at the end of March.
Some modern writers are so popular, so much read and so far down the road to becoming national treasures, that it almost seems like an affront to their status for (adopting Uriah Heep-like crouch and wringing hands) 'umble reviewers to voice an opinion. Kirkcaldy's First lady, Val McDermid, (left) is one such daunting figure. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Ms M, but she comes over on social media as being good- natured, endlessly patient and courteous to a fault. It goes without saying that she is a bloody fine writer and there can be few modern CriFi partnerships to match that of DCI Carol Jordan and Tony Hill. Now, heaven be praised, they return in paperback. Insidious Intent came out in Kindle and hardcover in summer 2017, but if you can hang on until the last week in February, you can get your paws on a paperback edition. Carol and Tony have to solve a macabre mystery; what is the true story behind the burned body found in a torched car on a remote country road?
OUT OF BOUNDS … Between The Covers
There's an old expression that describes someone as "having a way with words'. There can't be any contemporary writer who has a better "way with words" than Val McDermid. There are no dramatic flourishes, no histrionics and no scatter-gun blasts of redundant adjectives. What we have is simplicity, purity, and a command of language that is almost minimalist. She describes DCI Karen Pirie, thus:
"…a wardrobe that always looked slightly rumpled;
a haircut that never quite delivered what it had promised in the salon.
Women never felt threatened by her,
and men treated her like a wee sister or a favourite auntie."
This is the fourth book featuring Karen Pirie, but newcomers learn just enough of Pirie's backstory. Her lover, a fellow police officer has been killed. She is coping with her grief, but not easily. She tells civilians that she is attached to the Police Scotland Historic Cases Unit. The reality is that she – and her nice-but-dim assistant, DC Jason 'The Mint' Murray – are the PSHCU. An idiot boy and his mates steal a Land Rover, and decide to test it to destruction by driving over roundabouts. It works once, but the second time, the four-by-four flips, killing the hapless passengers and delivering driver Ross Garvie to the local hospital ICU. A routine DNA test links him to an unsolved rape and murder in Glasgow, years earlier. It clearly wasn't him, but who was it?
To add to Pirie's complicated life, a mentally troubled man is found shot through the head beside Loch Leven. He was harmless, occasionally foolish and always garrulous, but why was he a threat? Did the fact that his mother had been killed in an assumed IRA assassination mark him out for this totally unwanted attention? The trail of Ross Garvie's DNA leads Pirie through a minefield of botched investigations, incorrect assumptions and misdeeds sheltering behind fiercely protected rights to privacy.
As you might expect, McDermid is completely at home in her geographical surroundings. We have the stark contrasts of the historic streets and alleyways of Edinburgh and the city's brutal and depressing tower blocks clinging to its suburban coat tails. All too rarely, Karen Pirie gets to sit in her beautifully situated apartment, and we share her reverie as she looks out over the dark waters of the Firth of Forth, and across to the lights twinkling away on the Fife shore. The setting of the novel is cleverly done, but it is just one piece of the jigsaw – along with the fascinating details which make up the police procedural aspects of the story.
McDermid puts most of the pieces in place for us, but leaves us plenty to do for ourselves, and the completed picture is one that shows jealousy, human frailty, the sheer darkness of some people's lives – but also a glittering thread of compassion and redemption. If the novel inspires you to check up on Karen Pirie's backstory, then you will find it in The Distant Echo (2003), A Darker Domain (2008), and The Skeleton Road (2014)
It is lazy of critics to talk about "Queens" of crime, but since the deaths of PD James and Ruth Rendell, there is only one heir to the throne. McDermid just gets better and better with every book. Some writers grab us by the throat and drag us through the narrative; there are others who take us by the hand and lead us; McDermid simply has to beckon – and we follow.

THE POSTMAN DELIVERS … Out of Bounds
There are just a handful of authors who, when you have their latest book in your hands, remind you of the sheer unalloyed pleasure that can come from reading. For me, that is the best feeling in the creative world, bar none – and that's from someone who spent most of his professional life teaching and playing music. One of those treasured authors is Val McDermid, who you know is never going to let you down.
Her new book is the fourth case for Inspector Karen Pirie who, like her creator, is based in Fife, Scotland. A joyride for a local teenager ends in rather more than tears, as the unfortunate youth ends in a coma.No modern police novel is complete with the mystical world of DNA cropping up at some point, and in this case it links to a decades-old cold case and the terrible legacy of a terrorist bombing. Out of bounds will be available from 25th August, but can be pre-ordered here. Watch out for the full review on Fully Booked!

Stumbled across this website with some hilarious videos about Mandarin. Especially check out the one about the Pinyin Pirate. They also give a snarky but accurate presentation about how to pronounce the name of our fair city.
All campy jokes aside, the videos are actually useful for learning Mandarin. They're hosted by real university Mandarin teachers.
What web resources have been useful to you in your study of Chinese? Help out fellow students and post in the comments.
During the winters in China, it is very common (almost necessary) to wear long johns or long underwear. Being a foreigner, I'm not used to wearing long johns, but there was one day when the weather was as cold as -20 C. It would have been crazy not to have been wearing long underwear that day, and indeed I was crazy enough not to. I was even keen enough to tell my Chinese friends this. Funny enough, instead of telling them that I wasn't wearing long johns, I had informed them that I wasn't wearing any underwear.
A common mistake by foreigners is to call long underwear "nèikù" (内裤), which in Chinese actually means "underwear". The right term to use is "qiūkù" (秋裤)。As a foreigner speaking to a local the Chinese, it is quite embarrassing but common to tell him/her that you're not wearing any underwear. Even more embarrassing is to ask your Chinese friends whether or not they're wearing underwear!! Don't make this same embarrassing mistake!
Does this sentence read funny? Does it sound funny when read out loud?
Herein lies the problem: too many 的's!!! Grammatically there's no problem with this sentence, but it's not smooth. Locals will look at you funny if you talk like this.
But what's the meaning of 的 anyway?
的 is called a "particle" – a word that doesn't have a specific definition but changes the relationship between the parts of a sentence.
Because the particle "的" is present, 太太 has become mine (我的). If only grammar reflected real life…sigh.
So 的 can demonstrate possessiveness (Good thing grammar doesn't always reflect real life), as it does in every case in the sentence above. But in spoken language, locals don't use so many 的s. It sounds awkward.
So when do you use 的 and when do you NOT use 的?
It's pretty simple. When you have a personal pronoun such as I, my, he, she, they (我, 他, 她,他们), and you want to show possession of something, you can leave off 的.
To show possession between a noun and another noun.
For example, 王老师的学生 (Miss Wong's student). In this case you see that 的 acts like "'s", a possessive.
What's that mean? Miss Wong student? Does it mean Miss Wong is a student? But she's a teacher.
Hope this helps! If something's unclear or you have some other questions about Mandarin, let us know in the comments.


I bought several Items from wish. Most of them I got and they were all cheap and low quality. But one I never received. Try to contact them but I found out that there's no customer support to speak of. By the time you are able to to get an answer, it is an automated one saying that they are not able to refund your money but they'll give you store credit.
Cheap knockoffs from legit items. They are not only ripping customers off but also the companies that they are making they cheap copies from.

Did you know that the West Midlands is home to Britain's first ever car factory?
In the 1890s engineer Frederick Simms and astute businessman Harry J Lawson established the Daimler Motor Company Limited.
Its head office was in London, but manufacturing was done in Coventry - on the site of a former cotton spinning mill in Radford, now an urban village known as Daimler Green.
One of the first customers was the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).
A key to the business's success was Lawson getting a ridiculous law repealed, which had dictated that any motor vehicle had to have someone walking in front of it with a red flag.
Vehicles were then allowed to travel at 12mph.
More than a century later the legislation surrounding car ownership still comes with hefty responsibilities and is constantly changing.
One of the best ways to keep up-to-date with your duties to be correctly insured, taxed and have a valid MOT is by downloading the free CarCloud app , which includes a reminder service.
The owners of more than 7,000 cars – from Ferraris to Fiestas – are already benefiting from downloading the app which, like Britain's car industry, was developed in the West Midlands.
Coventry later became known as Britain's Detroit as the car industry grew from strength to strength.
It became home to marques including Peugeot, Triumph and, of course, Jaguar and Land Rover.
But the UK's 'motor city' fortunes changed when Peugeot pulled out in 2006.
Alec Issigonis, creator of the British Motor Corporation 'Mini' car range, driving the 1,000,000th Mini off the production line at the Austin factory at Longbridge in 1965.
Birmingham also played a huge part in the country's contribution to the motor industry, especially at the city's once world famous Longbridge plant.
But did you know that the first four wheeled car in Britain was built in Sparkbrook in 1895?
It was produced by the Lanchester brothers who were later taken over by Damlier.
Herbert Austin truly brought a love of cars to Birmingham when he opened his Austin Motor Company in 1906.
The first cars to roll off the production line could travel up to 30mph, had a four-speed gearbox and a price of £650.
Longbridge produced some of the most iconic cars of our time, including the Mini in the 1960s, Austin Metro in the 1980s, the Rover in the noughties and the MG.
Car production at the plant stopped in 2016 when MG announced it was moving production to China – ending its manufacturing in the UK.
The rise and fall of the car making industry in the West Midlands is not too different from the highs and lows of car ownership.
The free CarCloud app is one of the best ways to keep on top of all your car bills and the latest value of your car.
Many famous West Midlands marques, such as Austin, Wolseley, Humber, Alvis and Hillman have been and gone, but the region remains a global automotive powerhouse, as the home to Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover.
The iconic luxury of Aston Martin British sports cars is revered across the globe – especially with so many famous drivers, including James Bond!
Founded in London in 1913, the car company, which has its headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, has held a Royal Warrant as purveyor of motorcars to Prince Charles since 1982.
It has over 150 car dealerships in over 50 countries on six continents.
Jaguar Land Rover, the British multinational automotive company, is headquartered at Whitley, Coventry, and was part of British Leyland for parts of their histories until 1984.
Both marques have long and complex histories prior to their merger – Jaguar going back to the 1930s and Land Rover to the 1940s.
The company sold 600,000 vehicles during 2017 and is one of the biggest employers in the West Midlands.
By downloading the CarCloud app you could become part of this growing network of car owners all benefiting from the latest technology which enables them to keep all of their car admin in one place.
No need to worry about remembering your car tax renewals and MOT.
CarCloud will send you a reminder, as well as give you the latest valuation for your car along with tips and hints on how to make your life as a motorist as hassle free as possible.
And you can upload multiple cars, so its perfect to keep on top of your children's car finances too.
The average cost of car insurance for a 17-year-old now sits at a staggering £1,964.
"So easy to make a simple mistake and get caught out - but this app can help," says CarCloud user Naren.
After downloading CarCloud Chloe said: "Amazing!! All the reminders I need in one place.

Blizzard Shakes Up The eSports Scene By Unveiling The First Seven Teams For Overwatch League
12 July 2017, 2:15 pm EDT By Eric Brackett Tech Times
Blizzard has announced the names of the owners of its first seven Overwatch League teams and some of them are big players in traditional sports.
Overwatch has been a massive success for Blizzard, but it is clear that the company is hoping to do something special with Overwatch League. Blizzard's approach to the Overwatch League is very similar to the one used by professional sports teams. The franchises are city-based and several of the team owners have ties to traditional teams such as Jeff Wilpon who owns the New York Mets.
The owners of the first seven franchises can be seen below.
Boston: Patriots Chairman/CEO Robert Kraft
New York: Mets COO and Sterling VC co-founder Jeff Wilpon
Los Angeles: Noah Winston, CEO of Immortals, whose backers include AEG, Grizzlies owner Stephen Kaplan and Lionsgate
Miami-Orlando: Ben Spoont, CEO/co-founder of Misfits Gaming, backed by the Miami Heat
San Francisco: Andy Miller, chairman/founder of NRG eSports and a minority shareholder in the Sacramento Kings
Shanghai: NetEase Inc., the distributor of Overwatch in China
Seoul: Kevin Chou, co-founder and former CEO of mobile game developer Kabam
Most of the teams are located in the United States, but there is one in China and the other in South Korea. This is one area in which the Overwatch League will differ from traditional sports. Teams from multiple different countries will occasionally compete in events against one another. From an American perspective, it might seem a bit strange, but it's really no different than the World Cup.
As for the cities themselves, Blizzard told Gamespot that they wanted to focus on cities that had a high amount of Overwatch players.
"We looked at major cities around the world and came up with a list of cities that wasn't just based on population size but really the concentration of Overwatch players," Overwatch League commissioner Nate Nanzer said. "And once we had our cities identified, we set out and were talking to who we thought would be great owners. We wanted to make sure we were partnering with partners who, first and foremost, had a proven track record of building and growing a fan base."
Is Overwatch League The Future Of eSports?
Overwatch League is the first competitive eSports league to feature a traditional city-based structure. That, combined with the fact that several of the owners have ties to traditional sports, brings Overwatch League closer in line to traditional sports organizations such as the NBA. This isn't the first time that Blizzard has embraced the model of traditional sports. It's annual Heroes of the Storm tournament, Heroes of the Dorm, is based around universities competing for scholarship money.
It remains to be seen how successful Overwatch League will be, but if it does succeed, then we may see this model replicated in other eSports.

How does this lesson or activity meet the standards? It's a common question in today's schools, whether it's for lesson planning, observations, or curriculum design. There are so many standards educators need to address in their classrooms: the Common Core, content-based standards, professional organizations, and local or district guidelines.
The magical art of teaching is to meet the standards while really teaching our students; we teach young people, not content or standards. Still, meeting your respective standards is a concern, especially when incorporating technology or innovation into the classroom.
How can we balance standards, content, student needs, technology and all of the other responsibilities of our classroom? The common concern is something like this: I don't have time to worry about social media or technology when I don't have enough time to teach my content area. Social media isn't on the test.
While the pressure of time and testing is real, it's not--and never should be--about content vs. tech. Instead of competing interests and strategies, let's combine them purposefully and meaningfully to help our students do more.
So when I'm questioned about technology or social media, I argue that it doesn't compete with standards or content, it supports it. I want my students using social media to connect, share, grow, and reflect; I've explored that sentiment at length in the Why I Want My Students Using Social Media series.
I understand that sometimes teachers need to justify their choices and defend their practices, and I know that innovation and change is messy. Luckily all of our standards, starting with the Common Core State Standards can help to do just that by supporting the use of social media by and for our students.
Since the CCSS seem never ending, I'll focus this exploration on the Common Core ELA 9-10 Standards for Writing. I chose ELA because most of my classroom exploration with social media has been as an English teacher and Writing simply because there's too many connections to write about them all and keep your attention. I'm confident you can make the same connections between your content, professional, or school standards, too.
Have students Tweet their claims, or working drafts of research questions and then quote Tweet them with feedback. This evaluation allows students to share their ideas with a global audience and to collaborate in their learning and the feedback process.
Add a social spin to the standard exit ticket for closure by having students use Twitter to answer a question or reflect on the lesson. What did you learn today? Make learning global and break down classroom walls with this easy closure activity. Use a class hashtag to easily curate responses for feedback.
Update Hemmingway's 6 Word Story to 140-characters, and again share it with the world. I often remind students to write more about less; focusing and developing shorter pieces--even a handful of words--teaches students about diction, brevity, and syntax.
Activity: Any and every: All of our standards push for sharing with authentic audiences, so give student writing a real audience. Encourage your students to share with the world and help them understand the value of the global audience.
All of our students, big and small, need to learn to conduct research. What better way to pose a research question than to an audience that can help answer it? The power of Twitter comes from it's ability to amplify student voice and curiosity, to connect learners, and to find information quickly from so many different sources. Use these strengths for short bursts of research to build the skills for deeper investigation.
It's all of our responsibilities as educators to help students navigate the world of today and to prepare for the world of tomorrow. We can meet--and exceed--our standards while using technology, social media, and innovation to prepare students for more than just the test, but for their futures.
What questions do you have about the use of social media in schools? How is (or isn't?) social media supported by your professional standards? Share your ideas in the comments or on Twitter @MrSchoenbart.
I love reading your blogs - thanks for posting. I have read quite a bit about what you have had to say and have changed my classroom as a result - thank you:) As for your question above I believe that some teachers in my board are starting to use Social Media and connecting it with their content which is fantastic. But the problem I have is, learning about it and how it can be used to its full potential. I have taken it upon myself to read and research how to do this and sometimes I still struggle with it. When I am not sure I use the Ss to help out, they are great resources when it comes to Social Media!!! But what about teachers who know nothing about Social Media, who are content driven and who are not willing to change, how do we get them on board? How do we encourage and support them?

Q: How to parse the brackets in Java? I need to write method which takes expression like this: 1 + 2 ) * 3 - 4 ) * 5 - 6 ) ) ), and then to output String result like this ( ( 1 + 2 ) * ( ( 3 - 4 ) * ( 5 - 6 ) ) ).
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
I used stack in this problem. I know how to check the correctness of the expression:
public boolean isParse(String str)
{
    Stack<Character> s = new Stack<Character>();
    for(int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
    {
        char c = str.charAt(i);

        if(c == '{')
            s.push(c);
        else if(c == '[')
            s.push(c);
        else if(c == '(')
            s.push(c);
        else if(c == '}')
        {   if(s.isEmpty())
                return false;
            else if(s.pop() == '{')
            {

            }
            else
                return false;
        }
        else if(c == ']')
        {
            if(s.isEmpty())
                return false;
            else if(s.pop() == '[')
            {

            }
            else
                return false;
        }
        else if(c == ')')
        {
            if(s.isEmpty())
                return false;
            else if(s.pop() == '(')
            {

            }
            else
                return false;
        }
    }

    return s.isEmpty();
}

But I don't know how to fix this expression, as in the example above

A: Try this
static String complementLeftParen(String s) {
    Deque<String> stack = new ArrayDeque<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); ++i) {
        char ch = s.charAt(i);
        switch (ch) {
            case '0': case '1': case '2': case '3': case '4':
            case '5': case '6': case '7': case '8': case '9':
                if (!stack.isEmpty() && Character.isDigit(stack.peek().charAt(0)))
                    stack.push(stack.pop() + ch);
                else
                    stack.push(Character.toString(ch));
                break;
            case '+': case '-': case '*': case '/':
                stack.push(Character.toString(ch));
                break;
            case ')':
                String right = stack.pop();
                String operator = stack.pop();
                String left = stack.pop();
                stack.push(String.format("( %s %s %s )", left, operator, right));
                break;
            case ' ': case '\t':
                break;
            default:
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("unknown char: " + ch);
        }
    }
    if (stack.size() != 1)
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid input: " + s);
    return stack.pop();
}

Sample result
String s ="1 + 2 ) * 3 - 4 ) * 5 - 6 ) ) )";
System.out.println(complementLeftParen(s));
// -> ( ( 1 + 2 ) * ( ( 3 - 4 ) * ( 5 - 6 ) ) )

Q: Function to set the state of a nested object with argument variable as key I want to update an object state with a function updateDatas. I pass key, potentially subKey, and value as argument of this function.
interface Datas {
  code: number;
  item1: Item;
}

interface Item {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

const [datas, setDatas] = useState({
  code: 42,
  item1: {
    id: 1,
    name: 'foo'
  }
});

function updateDatas(key: string, subKey: string, value: any) {
  if (subKey) {
    setDatas({...datas, key: {...datas.key, subKey: value}});
  } else {
    setDatas({...datas, key: value});
  }
}

updateDatas('code', 23);
updateDatas('item1', 'name', 'bar');

But it doesn't work, I have this Typescript error :

Argument of type '{ key: any; code: number; item1: Item; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'SetStateAction'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'key' does not exist in type 'SetStateAction'.ts(2345)

A: You are trying to update the key subKey instead of using the key the variable subKey has as string. Same with key. Do the following:
function updateDatas(key: string, subKey: string, value: any) {
  if (subKey) {
    setDatas({...datas, [key]: {...datas[key] as Item, [subKey]: value}});
  } else {
    setDatas({...datas, [key]: value});
  }
}

Anyway you should have some incongruence between interfaces because key is of type string instead of keysof Datas and the same with subKey (keysof Item).
function updateDatas(key: keysof Datas, subKey: keysof Item, value: any) {
  if (subKey) {
    setDatas({...datas, [key]: {...datas[key], [subKey]: value}});
  } else {
    setDatas({...datas, [key]: value});
  }
}

EDIT: The same with the value, since in your interfaces you want the value to be other thing instead of any. You should look for a workaround around this.

One of the qualities I'm working on strengthening is CARE. Compared to other qualities such as creativity, humor, ambition, motivation, self-discipline, etc...care sounds boring and passive (at least I never gave it much thought). But alas, I was wrong.
Caring for me = mindfulness plus LOVE with a touch of gratitude wrapped up in ACTION with sprinkles on top. If you care about something that means you not only give it attention, but you do what needs to be done to express your care.
Here are some things I realized and care to share about CARING.
1. If you don't CARE about _____ (fill in the blank), why should anyone else? Remember what Gandhi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." So if you want something to happen, begin by caring about it enough to act on it. This includes taking care of YOU. If you feel like you're not getting the love and attention you desire from others - pay attention to how much of it you're giving to yourself.
2. CARE about the SMALL STUFF. Not sweating the small stuff does not equal not caring about it. Consider how you can exit a car without slamming the door, but rather gentle close it. Think about how instead of chowing down in front of the computer at lunch, you take time to just eat.
3. CARE about others. Often we're in our own world so much that we don't recognize opportunities to help others. I regularly see standing pregnant women or elderly people go unnoticed on the subways. Most of the time I attest people not giving up their seats because they don't realize the opportunity to help. We are so wrapped up in ourselves, that our CARE radar isn't even on.
4. CARE about the GOAL and PROCESS, release the RESULT. The only thing you can control are your thoughts, and to some extent, emotions. So do the best you can and care about the parts you can affect. Release attachment to getting a particular result. If things don't work out as you had planned, continue to care about your desired result enough to adjust the process and go again.

Report. Pogroms against Roma communities in Ukraine are hardly making the local papers anymore, even as the violence moves from criminal gangs to state-funded militant groups.
A state-sponsored Ukrainian militia is terrorizing Roma
written by Yurii Colombo
The pogroms against Roma communities are not even treated as news anymore in the Ukrainian press. Not even if they are nothing short of premeditated state-sponsored pogroms, organized and perpetrated by members of the National Guard—such as the one that happened on Thursday on the outskirts of Kiev.
At 1:03 p.m., on the official Facebook page of the "National Corps" (a vigilante organization, officially included by the Interior Ministry among the ranks of the departments of the Ukrainian police, and made up of veterans of the neo-Nazi Azov battalion from the Donbass) gave 24 hours to the Roma community living in the Goloseyevsky park "to clear off with all their crap." Yet, at 6:45 p.m., the same site declared enthusiastically that they had already executed the action of "cleaning" the park and that they eliminated all traces of the "dirty gypsies."
The comments to the post were terrifying: "Get rid of the biodegradable waste! It's a shame we couldn't finish the job in the 40s against these lice" was one of the more moderate ones.
It was a premeditated action, carried out in the presence of journalists and police. In a video circulated on YouTube, one can see the neo-fascists in uniform, armed with axes, bringing terror into the nomadic camp: women and children are screaming while their tents are being destroyed and burned.
That a substantial worsening of the situation has occurred is confirmed by the fact that on the same evening, the National Corps advertised what it had done more openly than before, distributing fliers at the Kiev subway stations Vasylkivska and Goloseevskaya with the unambiguous title, "The Roma have no place in Ukraine," illustrated with a photo of the crossed-out face of a Roma child. According to these criminals, it was not a pogrom but rather a "normal cleaning operation." In truth, it was no less than an ethnic cleansing, designed, managed and executed by an organization recognized and financed by the Ukrainian state.
The next day, in the newspapers of the capital, only a few short articles reported this news. The action was called, at most, "a show for the media" and "a regrettable episode," and there was no surprise shown at the fact that the operation was perpetrated by none other than members of the National Guard.
Not even the condemnations from the UN a few weeks ago after the odious anti-Roma pogroms on the slopes of Lysa Hora, which were followed by the deportation of the Roma to western Ukraine, have been able to stop the groups on the extreme right.
Ukrainian civil society is looking distractedly on while the country is slipping into the abyss. Threats and violence against independent journalists and human rights activists are an everyday occurrence. Before the upcoming 2019 elections, the government is hurrying to implement the "reforms" and privatizations that the IMF has been demanding for years, while fear and uncertainty is growing among the people about the rumored imminent default of the country's economy. Meanwhile, an increasingly unified extreme right has soared to 15 percent in the polls.
