Upon returning, your son or daughter can expect to experience an initial stage of euphoria and excitement. It will be a relief to come back, and invigorating to be surrounded by the comforts of home and people who are thrilled to see them. It won't be long, however, before they realize that both they and their home environment have changed, and the honeymoon phase will come to an end.
One element of reverse culture shock that is different from the initial culture shock of traveling abroad is the element of surprise. When venturing to a new place with unfamiliar customs, language, and norms, most people expect to face some adjustment challenges. Home, on the other hand, is the place you know better than anywhere else, where you are comfortable, and where you fit in naturally. Since there is no apparent reason to expect culture shock upon re-entry, the crisis phase comes as a shock to those who are unaware of reverse culture shock.
Home may not be what they expected it to be. While experiencing culture shock and homesickness abroad, they may have idealized and romanticized their home environment. Upon returning, the imperfections and annoyances that they had forgotten about will no longer be invisible, which can be disconcerting.
While abroad, they will have developed a routine, adapted to a new way of living, and formed significant friendships. Leaving this behind will be difficult, especially if they don't know when or if they will return. Also, our students travel in groups of three to five and always go to town with their discipleship groups. They spend 24 hours a day with peers and people experiencing the same thing. Many students find it lonely to return to their normal routine of being alone, plugged in online and miss the face to face relational time.
Life doesn't stop while they're away, and things at home will be different when they return. The changes in their friends and environment may be subtle, or they may reveal themselves only under certain circumstances, which are usually unpredictable and therefore unsettling. Because the home they left is not quite the home they are returning to, they may find themselves confused and anxious.
They may also begin to view friends and family differently. It can be frustrating to find that others don't think outside the "bubble" of their college, work, or community environment. Friends' reactions to their return may also be disillusioning, particularly if people seem disinterested in their missions experience abroad.
On the other hand, many friends will be genuinely excited about listening to them recount their trip, but it will be difficult for your son or daughter to fully articulate their experiences.
When you travel abroad, locals recognize you as a foreigner. People are understanding of your disorientation, and are quick to offer help. At home, on the other hand, they will be expected to be a fully functioning member of society. Because they look like they fit in, people will see no reason to reach out to them, and because reverse culture shock is not a well-recognized phenomenon, others will likely be less sympathetic to their adjustment needs.
The best thing you can do as a parent is process with your student. Listen and affirm what God is doing in their life and help them walk through the phases. If you feel your student is entering into something more serious, please don't hesitate to call us or seek help from a local counselor. We share this with you, not to frighten you, but, to share ways you can walk with your student as they re-enter American life.
Schedule a night to invite their friends over for a missions experience. If your child was on the China mission trip, serve Chinese food. Make a display of some of their favorite photos and memories of the trip. Pull out the bounty from overseas!
Parents have told us that it takes some students a while for them to adjust to planning for the fall, school activities and even getting together with friends. Don't panic if they are re-thinking their priorities and schedules. Talk with them about the pros and cons of their decisions.
Connect them with a mentor. If you know other alumni, call them in for this!
Find local ways to serve the international community. Call local colleges or work with internationals at your student's school.
Pray for the country your student lived in this summer. Think of creative ways to support missionaries serving there, maybe support a micro-business if the country has economic needs.
…and listen as your student shares their passion and love for their home country for the summer!
In closing, I wanted to share my personal perspective on this subject. I have mentored students that have served with Royal Servants since 1992, I served on the EuroQuest team in 1997 (and experienced reverse culture shock as an adult!), and I sent my own child in 2003 and 2008. Through all of these experiences, I have learned many things about helping myself and others throughout this transition!
Pray about how to help your son or daughter remember the truth God pressed into their life this summer and give them space to grow into what God is asking them to become. Don't give up if your child struggles and support them if God is asking them to take huge stands for Him. I can't tell you how many times God has asked students to do bold and amazing things for Him that frankly scared most adults! God is at work and He will give you wisdom as you guide your students in the coming months.
I will be praying, as I do every fall, for the students as they return to school, re-kindle friendships and walk forward. God is good and cares deeply about all of these things. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions!

Die 1904 fertiggestellte Fallersleber-Tor-Brücke (auch Fallerslebertorbrücke) in Braunschweig wurde nach Plänen des Architekten Max Möller als Hängegurtträgerbrücke ausgeführt. Brücken über die Oker sind an dieser Stelle bereits seit dem Mittelalter nachgewiesen. Die unter Denkmalschutz stehende Brücke von 1904 musste 2009 wegen Baufälligkeit abgerissen werden und wurde Ende 2011 durch eine Stahlbetonbrücke ersetzt.

Geschichte
Die Brücken am Fallersleber Tor bildeten seit dem Mittelalter eine wichtige Querung der Hauptausfallstraße Richtung Altmark und Berlin über den östlichen Umflutgraben, der Braunschweig zum Schutz vor Angriffen umgab. Über die Brücke verläuft die Fallersleber Straße, die so den nordöstlichen Teil des Stadtzentrums vom Hagenmarkt kommend mit dem östlichen Ringgebiet verbindet.

Die Brücke von 1904 ersetzte einen klassizistischen Vorgängerbau aus dem Jahre 1819, der nach Plänen Peter Joseph Krahes entstanden war. Krahes Brücke war aus Holz gebaut, aber außen so verkleidet, dass sie den Eindruck einer Steinbrücke erweckte. Krahe schuf die Brücke im städtebaulichen Kontext der ab 1803 einsetzenden Schleifung der Wallanlagen der Stadt, dabei war ein Ziel unter anderen die Aufrechterhaltung des architektonisch-klassizistischen Gesamteindruckes der Toranlagen der Stadt. Nur wenige Meter östlich der Brücke befinden sich noch zwei der von Krahe ebenfalls konzipierten Torhäuser. Krahes Brücke von 1819 wiederum ersetzte eine wohl 1711 entstandene Holzbrücke.

Für die Brücke von 1904 wurde die neue Hängegurtträger-Technik, deren Erfinder Max Möller, Professor an der Technischen Hochschule Braunschweig war, eingesetzt. Der Brückenkörper selbst bestand aus großen Natursteinquadern.

Neben dem Personen- und Kraftverkehr wird seither über die neue Brücke auch eine Straßenbahnlinie geführt.

Soldatenstandbilder
Die Stadt beschloss neben der Beleuchtung auch einen besonderen Figurenschmuck für die Brücke. Weil sich diese in der Nähe der Waterloo-Kaserne und der Mars-la-Tour-Kaserne befand, wurde beschlossen, die Braunschweigische Militärgeschichte als Thema zu wählen. Dafür schuf der Braunschweiger Bildhauer Hermann Siedentop vier idealisierte, überlebensgroße Statuen von vier Soldaten Braunschweigischer Truppen aus den vergangenen 100 Jahren. Je eine dieser Statuen sollte auf jedem Eckpostament des steinernen Brückengeländers aufgestellt werden. Ursprünglich war geplant, diese Figuren in Bronze ausführen zu lassen – das erwies sich jedoch als zu teuer. Die Stadt entschied sich deshalb für Stein. Ein unbekannter Bürger soll darauf hin 6000 Mark für die Umsetzung in Kupferleben, statt Bronze, gespendet haben. Die in Braunschweig ansässigen Künstler Paul Rinckleben und Kämpfer führten die Treibarbeiten aus. Die vier Soldaten wurden am 11. August 1907 aufgestellt.

Auf der Nordseite der Brücke stand an deren Westecke ein Infanterist von 1809, aus der Zeit der Befreiungskriege gegen Napoleon. Der Soldat gehörte zur Schwarzen Schar des Schwarzen Herzogs Friedrich Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel. An der Ostecke stand ein Sergeant des Braunschweigischen Leibbataillons aus der Zeit des Deutsch-Französischen Krieges 1870/71. Aus dieser Einheit ging später das Braunschweigische Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 92 hervor. Auf der Südseite der Brücke stand an deren Westecke ein Grenadier von 1828 und an der Ostecke ein "moderner" Musketier des Leibbataillons aus dem Jahre 1905.

Wie viele andere Statuen aus Metall, darunter die vier Frauenstandbilder der unweit gelegenen Theaterbrücke oder das Reiterstandbild Herzog Wilhelms von 1904 auf dem Ruhfäutchenplatz, wurden auch die vier Standbilder der Fallersleber-Tor-Brücke während des Zweiten Weltkrieges entfernt und eingeschmolzen. Bildhauer Hermann Siedentop wurde am 27. September 1943 bei einem Bombenangriff der Royal Air Force auf Braunschweig getötet.

Fortschreitende Baufälligkeit

Wegen erhöhten Verkehrsaufkommens wurde das steinerne Brückengeländer Mitte der 1950er Jahre entfernt und durch ein schmuckloses Stahlgeländer ersetzt. Gleichzeitig wurde die Brücke auf jeder Seite um 1,30 m verbreitert, sodass die Gesamtbreite schließlich 20,50 m betrug. Aufgrund zunehmender Schäden an der Bausubstanz ordnete die Stadt Braunschweig 2006 eine Begrenzung der zulässigen Belastung auf 7,5 t an. Eine grundlegende Sanierung der unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Brücke wurde erwogen, aber schließlich zugunsten eines kompletten Neubaus verworfen.

Neubau
Für den Neubau wurde ein Architektenwettbewerb ausgeschrieben. Der Siegerentwurf der Architektengemeinschaft Gerkan, Marg und Partner wurde umgesetzt. Nachdem die Brücke von 1904 abgetragen und der gesamte Verkehr auf der Fallersleber Straße eingestellt worden war, begannen die Neubauarbeiten im Juli 2009. Gleichzeitig wurde auch der gesamte Straßenzug saniert. Aufgrund erheblicher Verzögerungen bei den Bauarbeiten konnte die neue Brücke dem Verkehr aber erst am 10. November 2011 übergeben werden.

Rezeption

Flussbadeanstalt
1847 war unweit der Brücke die dritte Flussbadeanstalt der Stadt eröffnet worden. Bereits 1848 wurde dieses Bad aber weiter nach Norden an die Wallpromenade beim Wendentor verlegt.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 Officially Revealed
by Matthew Kato on May 09, 2018 at 09:40 AM
Publisher: Konami
Developer: Konami
Rating: Everyone
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
Konami has officially revealed details regarding this year's installment in its long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series – proving that an earlier leak promising new licensed leagues and major changes to the series' MyClub and Master League modes was true.
Master League: New licensed leagues are being added along with the pre-season International Champions Cup tournament. Furthermore, the transfer negotiation and budget systems have been redone, including re-sell and clean-sheet contract options. Konami says that more info on the official league licenses is coming in the future.
Gameplay: 11 skill traits have been added for players, including rising/dipping shots and a no-look pass, and players' stamina and fatigue is more evident. This makes substitutions more important, and the game has added a quick substitution menu so you don't have to pause the game. Improvements have also been made to areas such as dribbling, ball trajectory and bounce, and players' reaction animations.
Visuals: Snow is back in the game and it affects gameplay, and the title supports 4K HDR. The lighting has been redone, and new animations have been added to the crowd. Konami says their excitement should be more evident in games as well.
MyClub: Players with limited-time boosted stats and skills reflecting their real-life performance are available as well as new licensed Legend players. A new weekly PES League features multiple competitive divisions and rewards. Overall, the developer says that the way gamers go about building their squads will be different.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 comes out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 28 in the Americas with Barcelona and Brazilian national team star Philippe Coutinho as the cover star. The game comes in Standard, David Beckham, and Legend Edition varieties, with pre-order gifts for the digital version. For more info on the game and its different versions versions head over to the official Konami site.
We'll get our hands on the title at E3 in June, and can not only size up the gameplay but hopefully get a tour of the revamped Master League.

Robert E. Shapiro, MD, PhD: Adjusting Migraine Care in a Pandemic
Robert E. Shapiro, MD, PhD
The professor of neurology at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine and founding president of the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy spoke about the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on his practice.
"This is a time where I may be deployed [to a medical center in my region], which means that whatever telemedicine appointments I have in that time would have to be further postponed. Everybody has had to make a lot of adjustments."
The novel coronavirus pandemic that has swept across the planet has infected almost 2 million worldwide—half a million in the US alone—has had a devasting impact on health care systems. Outside of the strain it has put on the hospitals in the areas most greatly affected, that stress has not been limited to high case-count areas alone.
In Vermont, where Robert E. Shapiro, MD, PhD, professor of neurology, University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, and founding president, Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy, practices headache medicine, the case count has stayed low in comparison to nearby New York and New Jersey. However, Shapiro—who is signed up for surge deployment to his area medical centers to help at peak times of infection—told NeurologyLive that his practice, and many others like it, has not been unaffected.
Although, there has been some good news. Shapiro explained how his medical center at the University of Vermont as well as his patients have adjusted quickly and smoothly in the move to telemedicine. He detailed how this has changed his evaluation of patients and what challenges he has needed to overcome in this time of uncertainty.

The ingenuity of Leonardo da Vinci
Another of the works on our Leap of Faith program is Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine by Eric Whitacre. But rather than focus on Whitacre, we thought we'd look a little bit into da Vinci himself. To hear Luminous Voices sing this fantastic work by Whitacre, be sure to arrange your tickets to Leap of Faith today!
GET TICKETS TO LEAP OF FAITH
"The" Renaissance Man
Born in 1452 to a couple out of wedlock, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci would be regarded by historians and scholars as the prime exemplar of the so-called "Renaissance Man", an individual of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered one of the most diversely talented individuals ever to have lived. His body of work includes the fields of invention, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, anatomy, geology, botany, writing, history, and cartography. Of course, he is also widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time.
Leonardo lived a full life, dying at the age of 67 in France.
A "Divine" Painter
By the 1490s, da Vinci had been heralded as a "Divine" painter. His technique is characterized by the following unique attributes:
how he laid on the paint
his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology
the way humans register emotion in expression and gesture
his use of subtle gradation of tone
Leonardo's paintings are among the most celebrated in history, including his Virgin of the Rocks (1483-86), The Last Supper (1495-98), and La Gioconda, also known as the Mona Lisa.
One of Leonardo's teachers, Andrea del Verrocchio, demanded his students develop a deep understanding and appreciation for human anatomy. As a successful artist, Leonardo was given permission to dissect human corpses hospitals in Florence, Milan, and Roman, which helped his understanding for this field of study.
Leonardo made more than 240 detailed drawings and wrote about 13,000 words towards a treatise on anatomy. His anatomical drawings include many studies of the human skeleton and its parts, and of muscles and sinews. He drew the heart and vascular system, the sex organs and other internal organs, making one of the first scientific drawings of a fetus in utero.
Leonardo also studied and drew the anatomy of many animals, dissecting cows, birds, monkeys, bears, and frogs, and comparing in his drawings their anatomical structure with that of humans. He also made a number of studies of horses. For much of his life, he was fascinated by the phenomenon of flight; he produced many studies on the subject, including Codex on the Flight of Birds (c. 1505), which begins by examining the flight behaviour of birds, and proposes mechanisms for flight by machines.
Engineer and Inventor
During his lifetime, Leonardo was valued as an engineer. When he fled to Venice in 1499, he worked as an engineer and devised a system of moveable barricades to protect the city from attack. He also had a scheme for diverting the flow of the Arno river. Leonardo's journals include a vast number of inventions, including a mechanical knight, hydraulic pumps, reversible crank mechanisms, finned mortar shells, and a steam cannon. He even had plans for several flying machines such as a flapping ornithopter and a machine with a helical rotor.
Of course, Leonardo also invented musical instruments, including the viola organista. It uses a friction belt to vibrate individual strings (similar to how a violin produces sounds), with the strings selected by pressing keys on a keyboard (similar to an organ). However, no extant instrument constructed directly from Leonardo's incomplete designs is known. In fact, many of Leonardo's ideas were well ahead of their time. During his lifetime, relatively few of his designs were feasible, let alone constructed, because the modern scientific approaches to metallurgy and engineering were only in their infancy during the Renaissance.
Eric Whitacre on Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine
(Source: EricWhitacre.com)
(b. 1970)
Charles Anthony Silvestri is not only a brilliant poet, teacher and historian, he is a consummate choral singer blessed with a beautiful tenor voice. When Dr. Gene Brooks called and asked me to write the 2001 Raymond C. Brock Commission, I could think of no other author whose words I would rather set.
We started with a simple concept: what would it sound like if Leonardo Da Vinci were dreaming? And more specifically, what kind of music would fill the mind of such a genius? The drama would tell the story of Leonardo being tormented by the calling of the air, tortured to such degree that his only recourse was to solve the riddle and figure out how to fly.
We approached the piece as if we were writing an opera brève. Charles (Tony to his friends) would supply me with draft after draft of revised 'libretti', and I in turn would show him the musical fragments I had written. Tony would then begin to mold the texts into beautiful phrases and gestures as if he were a Renaissance poet, and I constantly refined my music to match the ancient, elegant style of his words. I think in the end we achieved a fascinating balance, an exotic hybrid of old and new.

The New York City marathon was originally located in Central Park. Runners in the 1970s would complete loops through the park drive area, which could be grueling. Less than half of participants finished the race in these early years since the loops covered some of the most exhausting ground of the park, including steep hills.
In today's marathon, which is the traditional length of 26 miles, runners begin on Staten Island and end at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. To watch runners cross the finish line at Tavern on the Green you must purchase tickets, as space is limited.
The race leaves the boroughs and enters Manhattan at mile 16. From there it goes down Fifth Avenue, eventually crosses southern Central Park, loops out again, and reenters the park at Columbus Circle. The marathon usually takes place the first weekend in November. Large sections of the park are closed to pedestrians and cars to accommodate the race. In recent years, the race has been renamed the ING New York City Marathon because of ING's sponsorship of the event.
The Central Park portions of the marathon take a tremendous amount of work to organize. The New York Roadunners Club is primarily responsible for the activities at Tavern on the Green, including helping runners and family members find each other after the race is over. If you are interested in viewing the marathon, there are a few spots in the park that are worthwhile, including the area near 67th Street.

Wouldn't it be great if your workout music would not just play inside your head, but rather be a part of your environment? Now this is possible!
RunningMusic lets you experience music in a completely new way while jogging, cycling, running on a treadmill, etc. RunningMusic plays content from the music library of your iPod touch or iPhone as if your were running in between loudspeakers placed in your environment.
This stunning experience is possible due to our cutting edge BR2™ binaural rendering algorithm which realistically simulates acoustic environments. For more information about BR2™ please visit our website.
RunningMusic works with any kind of headphones and in particular, good results can be obtained with the standard iPod / iPhone earbuds.
DO NOT USE this app in any situation where a lack of attention may have serious consequences.
DO NOT USE this app in traffic (even as a pedestrian).
DO NOT USE this app while driving a motor vehicle or while operating machinery.
The reason for the above warning is the following. As binaural audio rendering is designed to give you the impression that the sounds you hear come from your environment and not out of the headphones you are wearing, you may not be aware how much the actual environment sounds are attenuated by your headphones. You may try this by using RunningMusic and greeting someone in the street. If the person greets you back, you will probably be astonished by how hard it is to understand what the person said (which is also depending on the music level, of course). Therefore, please be careful and DO NOT use this app wherever it may be important that you hear the sounds that come from your environment!


WASHINGTON, Nov. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The TechAmerica Foundation has been honored by the Networking and Information Technology R&D (NITRD) program for its role as a Launch Partner for Building the Data Innovation Ecosystem. The recognition was for the first-of-a-kind Big Data Roadshow as well as leadership in encouraging public/private sector cooperation and partnership to foster the use of Big Data in government application.
The NITRD Program, organized under the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), is a collaboration of federal research and development agencies and the nation's primary source of federally funded breakthroughs in advanced information technologies such as computing, networking, and software.
"The TechAmerica Foundation has worked hard to encourage the integration of Big Data into government through the public/private partnership model. First with the Commission on Big Data, which produced the report Demystifying Big Data: A Practical Guide to Transforming the Business of Government and now with the Big Data Roadshow," said Shawn Osborne, Chairman of the TechAmerica Foundation. "As part of the Administration's call to multiple stakeholders to forge new partnerships around data innovation, the TechAmerica Foundation took the conversation of the power of Big Data on the road, showcasing practical applications of Big Data in the realm of healthcare and energy."
The TechAmerica Foundation just wrapped up a series of expert events on Big Data application at the intersection of public and private entities. The events, dubbed the Big Data Road Show, were held in Austin, TX, Boston, MA and Stanford, CA and brought together experts to discuss the use of Big Data in the areas of both energy and public health.
"Having the White House drive the conversation on the transformational power of Big Data to all sectors of our country, is critical in seeing the full potential realized. We have long underscored that the public/private relationship will be key in this conversation and we are thrilled to be standing alongside the Administration in taking Big Data to the next level, " concluded Mr. Osborne. "We look forward to continuing to partner with the Administration on integrating the power of Big Data into the way government serves Americans."
The recognition was presented yesterday prior to the beginning of a Big Data Summit - Data to Knowledge to Action, sponsored by NITRD and OSTP, where several major initiatives were announced that will further the public/private partnership model and bring the revolution of Big Data to all corners of society.
The TechAmerica Foundation educates industry executives, policy makers and opinion leaders on the promise of technological innovation to advance prosperity, security and the general welfare. Launched in 1981, the Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit, non-partisan affiliate of TechAmerica, which is the leading voice and resource for the U.S. technology industry. The Foundation disseminates award-winning industry, policy and market research covering topics such as U.S. competitiveness in a global economy, innovation in government, and other areas of national interest. It also organizes conferences and seminars to explore pertinent issues with government and industry representatives and to share the Foundation's findings.

Diame
A player that most Newcastle fans grew to respect. Mainly used as a bit part player he was seen by some as an ideal replacement for Moussa Sissoko. Whilst his time playing in the Championship was largely successful he rarely reached height that would afford him a regular birth in the first team. At the end of the 17/18 season he enjoyed a run of games that elevate his status amongst the fans. Even a public bust up with Lascelles at the training ground ended with both players making up and taking the team and staff out for a joint meal. The player left with his contract expired. Mo played 31 times for his country.

Kangana Ranaut deeply cut her forehead while shooting an intense sword-fighting for Manikarnika
Kangana Ranaut got severely injured while shooting for an intense sword-fighting sequence with co-star Nihar Pandya, when the latter's sword hit and deeply cut her forehead. The actress was rushed to the ICCU and had to get 15 stitches on her forehead. According to reports, the accident happened when Kangana got the timing wrong in an action sequence and was hit by Pandya's sword. It made a deep cut on her forehead and the examining doctor observed that it was a close shave for her because the cut had been very close to the bone.
The film's producer Kamal Jain said that the action scene had been rehearsed several times and Kangana had insisted on doing the scene herself instead of employing a body double. As the sword made a deep cut between her eyebrows, Kangana put up a brave front despite the pain and bleeding. Her co-star Nihar was apologetic and felt terrible, but the 'Queen' actress tried to pacify him. The report further suggests that the injury might leave a scar on Kangana's face, but she has decided to flaunt it for her film where she is playing Rani Lakshmibai. She will be in the hospital under observation for the next few days. Kangana might have to go in for a cosmetic surgery once the shoot is wrapped up.

The Fosters Series Finale Event Promo: The Fosters Forever!
Jasmine Blu at May 27, 2018 12:53 pm .
You didn't think that was the last of The Fosters, did you?
Now that we've had a few months to dry our tears and stew in all of those Foster family feels, it's time to jump back in with the most modern, relatable, inspiring family on TV and bid them farewell properly.
I'm talking beach-style because the family is headed to the Turks and Caicos, and darn it, we're going with them!
Of course, it's not The Fosters without a healthy dose of drama.
The Fosters Season 5 Episode 19 shocked fans by quickly fast-forwarding through their lives a few years via an emotional graduation montage that still has people sniffling.
It's roughly five or so years into the future now, and the eldest of the bunch, Brandon, is preparing for his wedding day.
Related: The Fosters Season 5 Episode 19 Review: Many Roads
So, who is he marrying? Some presumably lovely girl named Eliza. We don't know much about Eliza, yet, but boy will we during this finale event.
One thing we do know is that Callie is not a fan.
Callie and Brandon were ensnared in a complicated love affair when they were teens before Callie was officially adopted. They also share a special relationship and closeness. They started off as good friends, and when they left things, they were nailing the close sibling bond.
It's perfectly normal that as Brandon approaches his big day with his fiancée, Callie will have messy, complicated, residual feelings lingering. Yes, it's possible that they could be romantic-related, but don't forget, Callie is supremely protective of her loved ones, and it could be sibling related too.
Protective sisters will do anything to protect their brothers from women or spouses whom they don't think or worthy of them.
We'll have to see what's at the heart of why Callie doesn't care for Eliza.
In one of the many promos, Mama can be found scolding Callie for potentially making a scene. We also see Callie having a friendly chat with Brandon where she flat out mentions not caring for Eliza, and in true dramatic fashion, poor Eliza overhears it.

Elsewhere, it looks like Mariana's love life won't be any less complicated. She appeared to be going back in forth between Wyatt and Mat in the season finale, and here, it looks like she has her eyes set on Mat.
The question is, is Mariana still with Wyatt or some other guy? Whatever is going on with her, Callie is playing the perfect big sister and reminding her that she doesn't want to make any mistakes.
Callie is the Queen of making mistakes, so if anyone knows about that, she does.
The sisters appear to be closer than ever. That should set things up for The Fosters Mariana and Callie spin-off, Good Trouble.
I have no doubts that both of those women will be getting into trouble since they were regular trouble magnets during The Fosters tenure. Some things don't change.

Jesus isn't exempt from relationship troubles either. He's still dating Emma, but all may not be perfect in their land. He talks it out with his twin. Honestly, I'm surprised their relationship has made it the distance, and I'll be looking forward to seeing if it makes it to the end of the finale.
We also catch a glimpse of Jude possibly helping one of Eliza's brothers. Jude is all grown up which means some grown-up problems, and he was single last we saw him. Somewhere along the way he and Noah distanced themselves from one another, so does that mean Judi-corn is on the market?
Also, if you think moms have found some peace and tranquility not that the kids are all grown, well, you should know better. These kids always have problems that require their mothers' guidance and wisdom, plus, Lena and Stef have taken in a sweet little boy named Corey. There is no end to this family.
13 Tear-Jerkers To Watch While You Wait For This Is Us Season 3
This family is always expanding, and you can count yourselves into the mix. Aren't we all honorary Fosters? I like to think so!
Check out the clip below, and check back in for more Fosters tidbits and reviews of this spectacular occasion! The Fosters three-night Series Finale Event starts June.4 at 8/7c on Freeform. You can catch the second and third installment on June 5, and June 6 at the same time and place!

Even though most browsers and smartphones support push notifications, I still see very few ecommerce businesses leveraging them to their full capacity.
But used correctly, push notifications can boost your sales and traffic on autopilot and bring your customers back to your store over and over again until they are ready to buy.
To whet your appetite, here are some actual numbers regarding how push notifications convert on my ecommerce store.
Compared to other marketing channels such as email and Facebook Messenger, push notifications perform somewhere in between the two.
In other words, push notifications are more effective than email in terms of engagement on a per subscriber basis but less so than Facebook Messenger.
A push notification is a message on your smartphone or browser that notifies you directly on the task bar. The reason it's called a push notification is because the message is "pushed" to you without any effort on your part.
You can think of it like getting a text message except that it occurs directly in your browser.
Here's an example of a push notification on a desktop browser.
And here's what it looks like on a smartphone.
On a smartphone especially, the browser notification is instantly noticeable because it appears right in your notifications tray. As a result, the chances of someone seeing it are extremely high.
Before you are allowed to send a push notification to a customer, they must first optin. There are 2 distinct types of optins that I've seen online.
The first one is "native" to the browser and looks like the following photo below. What's nice about this optin is that it is a one click process. As soon as they click "Allow Notifications", they are instantly opted in.
The second type of push notification optin involves a 2 step process. The advantage of the 2 step optin is that you can use enticing language to get someone to sign up.
Here's an example of a two step optin on my blog. As you can see, the optin message is branded and I offer a compelling reason to sign up for my push notifications.
The disadvantage however is that it's a 2 step process. After I click on the initial "Yes, Please" button, it takes me to a different window as shown below.
Based on my testing, the 1 step optin performed better than the 2 step for my ecommerce store. But on my blog, they perform about the same so I stuck with the 2 step for MyWifeQuitHerJob.com.
When in doubt, go with the 1 step optin.
You can push customers who haven't bought in a long time to revisit your site.
The service I use to handle push notifications for my online store is a tool called Vizury. And the reason why I use Vizury over other solutions is because they specialize in ecommerce.
In fact, I consider them the Klaviyo of push notifications.
Note: I'm not affiliated with Vizury in any way and I've been using them for almost a year now to gather enough data for this post.
Abandoned cart push notifications work almost exactly like abandoned cart email sequences. When a customer shops in your store and doesn't complete their purchase for any reason, you can send them a notification to remind them to complete their purchase.
This is where Vizury shines compared to other push notification services.
Because Vizury is aware of all of the products that you sell in your store and monitors all of your completed purchases, you can send extremely targeted messages to your customers on autopilot.
For example, let's say a customer was browsing for personalized handkerchiefs in my shop but didn't do anything else. They didn't add it to their cart. They didn't start checkout. It doesn't matter.
4 hours later, they would get a push notification on their phone browser with a photo of the exact product that they were looking at!
Then with a single click, the customer would be taken to the exact product page they were looking at to complete their purchase. This is amazingly powerful.
Right now, I have 3 abandoned push sequences set up for my store as shown below.
The second 2 notifications are sent within 4 hours and 2 days respectively if someone added an item to their cart but didn't checkout.
Collectively these 3 sequences have a conversion rate of 14.28%! And the best part is that I don't have to do a thing.
Note: The distinction between a viewed product abandon notification vs an abandoned cart notification is that the view abandon notification leads to a product page and the abandoned cart notification leads to a fully populated shopping cart ready to checkout.
Both of these push notifications run on autopilot.
Because Vizury has knowledge of your past sales, you can also send notifications to customers who have purchased from you before and but haven't purchased in a very long time.
In other words, you are trying to "win back" a customer who may have forgotten about your shop. Currently, we are sending out special coupon codes to customers who haven't purchased in 30 days.
Once again, these notifications are sent on autopilot.
Every time we send out an email to our list, we also send out an equivalent push notification that mirrors the content of the email.
For example, over the holidays, we ran a 12 days of Christmas sale where we ran flash sales every single day!
Whereas some people can take multiple days to open and respond to an email, most people will react instantly to a push notification on their smart phones.
As a result, for time sensitive promotions like 1 or 2 day sales, push notifications work extremely well.
Over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, our broadcast sale push notifications were converting at 6%.
Vizury also allows you easily segment your visitors based on a variety of parameters. For example, here's a photo of your options below.
Here are some example use cases for customer segmentation.
Geography – You may want to send special promotions based on where a customer resides. For example, I wouldn't want to promote winter gear to residents in Hawaii.
Customer Purchase Behavior – You may want to send out special coupons only to your best customers. Conversely, you may want to give out larger coupons to customers who have yet to make a purchase.
Customer Browsing Behavior – You may want to send out special broadcast offers of specific products based on the category pages a customer looked at.
There are many possibilities here and what's nice is that you can create segments on the fly based on past behavior. This is extremely powerful.
First off, I want to emphasize that push notifications should never "replace" other marketing mediums like email, retargeting or messenger. Instead, you should be using as many different ways as possible to bring customers back to your shop.
Push notifications are just another way to patch your leaky bucket of customers.
But how do push notifications perform compared to other strategies that I'm using? Here's a direct comparison based on numbers from my own store.
Note: Take these numbers with a grain of salt because they are only a single data point.
Overall, push notifications fall somewhere between email and messenger in terms of CTR. I also did some analysis in regards to revenue per subscriber but it's difficult to make direct comparisons because the data largely depends on the type of push notification used.
For example, an abandoned cart email or notification is obviously going to have a much higher revenue per recipient than a generic broadcast.
That being said, I feel comfortable saying that my email abandoned cart sequences have a higher revenue per recipient than my push notification abandoned cart sequences.
I think the reason for the lower performance is due to the fact that a push notification disappears immediately as soon as they are seen whereas an email stays in the inbox for future consumption.
While push notifications work pretty well, we have received our fair share of complaints from customers who do not know how to turn it off. Unlike email or messenger, it's not as clear cut how to unsubscribe.
For example, in Chrome you have to navigate through a series of complicated menus to opt out and it's way too involved to explain to a customer.
Also unlike Facebook Messenger, there is no one out there policing push notifications as far as I can tell. As a result, I see this medium eventually getting abused by marketers. Either that or people will be more reluctant to opt into notifications.
Right now, my optin rate is pretty low at 1.5%.
Should you use push notifications? Absolutely!
Anything that you can do to retain your customers and bring visitors back to your site is a no brainer. What I like about Vizury is that the abandoned cart sequences and the winback campaigns can be run on autopilot.
You literally do not need to do a thing and push notifications will be automatically sent out to anyone who has opted in and been on your site.
Because Vizury has knowledge of your entire product database, they can dynamically show photos of the exact product a customer was looking at while they were shopping.
Overall, push notifications are a great complement to your email marketing, messenger marketing and retargeting efforts. In fact, you should be sending out your promotions to all 3 mediums.
Oh wow, that's a great post. I've always thought about using push notifications, but never really got into it. I've noticed several big finance bloggers using them.
Am I the only one who thinks push notifications are just as annoying as pop-ups?
I hate the fact that you can't browse a website these days without having to remove a bunch of pop-ups, slide-ins, chat-windows and push-notifications.
This is one of favourite blog. BTW I want to download your free couse but after endter my email, I did not get any email confirm and download link. Can you please check it ?
I always find these push messages annoying and irritating. Most of the time these messages are useless and of no good use. These are annoying like the useless pop-up ads and sites.

Dell Venue Pro (T-Mobile)
Hey everyone, I'm Bonnie Cha, senior editor at cnet.com and I'm here with your first look of the Dell Venue Pro for T-Mobile. We've been waiting to get out hands on this phone ever since the Windows Phone 7 lunched event and after some delays, the smart is finally shipping. So, what's the big deal about this phone? Well, one that caught my eye is the design. As you can see, the Venue Pro is a rather large device obviously that has its pros and cons. On the positive side, you get the spacious 4.1-inch WVGA touchscreen that's nice and sharp. Web pages and pictures look green on here and the touchscreen is really responsive. So, you can easily navigate through list on menus and zoom in and out of pages. Sitting beneath the screen is actually a full QWERTY keyboard. The Venue Pro currently the only Windows Phone 7 device with approach to slider designs. Meaning, the screen slides vertically and instead of to left or right. The keyboard itself is pretty easy to use. The rectangular buttons have a slight bump on them, so they are easy to press and even though there is not enough spacing between the keys The buttons are big enough that you didn't have any problems with miss presses. The downside of all these is that the phone is bulky and heavy. Weighs goes to 7 ounces and it's quite a handful, so even though I can get an attractive and solidly built phone, I'm not sure it would be my first choice. If anything [unk] will prevent some people from buying the Venue Pro because it's got a nice feature set and good performance. T-Mobile throws in some of its service and extra apps and they are like family room, T-Mobile TV, news room, and a personal finance app. What's nice is that, you can uninstall these if you don't care for them. It's also equipped with a 5-megapixel camera with 720P video capture and a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor, keeps everything running smoothly. So, if you don't mind the size, I think, you won't be disappointed with the Venue Pro. It's also reasonably priced. You can actually choose from one of 2 models, an 8 gigabyte model, which goes for 99.99 with a 2-year contract and a 16 gigabyte model that goes for 149.99 with the contract. Jut remember, the phones are only available through Dell and not through T-Mobile. I'm Bonnie Cha and this has been the first look at the Dell Venue Pro for T mobile.

Man Zou: Beijing to Shanghai » Blog Archive » Man Zou…2 years later!
Well…It's been 2 years since we returned from filming Man Zou in China and I thought it would be fun to look back at the experience now that I have finally have some distance from the project. Start to finish, it has taken over 4 years of my life and we are very excited to finally be sharing our adventure with a much larger audience. It's been a long, arduous process…but I think we came away with a finished documentary that provides a very different look into a country that is too often misunderstood by Western media and people in the United States.
Our goals for the film were very simple…To go to China for the first time and bicycle from Beijing to Shanghai 1,000 miles, without the assistance of support vehicles. We went in with open minds and constantly running cameras, in an attempt to capture a more intimate look at China, the people, and the rapidly changing environment in which they live. I have always felt that bicycle touring is the best way to see a country because of the level of access that you get by traveling 3 feet off the ground, at 10-15 mph. We were also lucky enough to have a Chinese guide, Doven Lu, along with us on the journey. In traveling with him and seeing the country at that level, I think that we were able to see China through a lens that not many people have looked through.
We always intended for Man Zou to be much more than an adventure film about our travels in China. Instead, we wanted our experience to serve as a vehicle to delve into some of the larger issues that were facing the country following the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In retrospect, I believe we accomplished these goals for the project. In riding through the varied urban and rural areas between Beijing and Shanghai, it opened a window into some of the many contradictions that exist in China today: old vs. new, rich vs. poor, development vs. environment and taking time to see things along the way vs. moving rapidly in modern world.
Looking back on what we did, there is little that I would change, other than having more time in China to let all of the things we learned sink in. Although we got to experience so much while we were there, it was still not nearly enough time and we could have easily stayed twice as long. But this is the plight I think we all face in 21st century…not having enough time to take the time to absorb things, to learn about different cultures and people, and to "Walk Slow." It wasn't by accident that we titled the film Man Zou. Just like most Americans, I have difficulty walking slow and in making this film, I forced myself to take 6 weeks out of my busy life to experience China and everything it has to offer in the hopes of understanding it just a little more. Although it was a challenge to me to break away and change my mindset, it was ultimately one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I hope our film can serve to inspire others to do the same.
Man Zou will be making it's television debut in a few weeks on KCTS 9 and I encourage everyone to join us on our 1,000 mile bicycle trip in China. The film premieres on Thursday Dec. 2 at 10pm.
Also, on Tues Nov. 30th KCTS 9, the Gardner Center for Asian Art & Ideas and the Washington State China Relations Council will be hosting an exclusive preview and Q&A about Man Zou at the Seattle Asian Art Museum on Capital Hill in Seattle.
Also, if you'd like to read more about our experience, I encourage everyone to dig around our blog that we wrote while traveling in China. We posted stories and pictures nearly every day and it offers a blow by blow recount of our trip.
Hope to see you all soon and remember….Man Zou!

Man Zou is a common phrase in Mandarin. It is more of a philosophy than anything. Man Zou literally translates to "Walk Slow."
"Slow and steady wins the race," they say. This is at the heart of the meaning of Man Zou. Walk slowly and you won't fall. Act carefully and you won't go wrong. A slow walker is faster than someone who walks fast but always has to stop and rest. Persistence is important in learning or doing anything.
"I recently underwent the most thorny, intricate, and demanding trek of my life. China is no walk in the park. The county is extremely diverse, and with diversity comes complexity. There is no smooth road laid for backpackers and attempting to do anything or get anywhere can be incredibly arduous...I really needed a break and I didn't know where I would be next. I sat down to a plate of rice noodles and peanuts. A hardy meal for a hardy man. A giant of a woman served me, but with her giant body came a giant heart. With a quick phrase that I have become accustomed to, she filled me with self-assurance that I needed for the rest of my trip. ?Man Zou!? she shouted with a big smile on her face. This literally translates to ?Walk Slow?. To me this means more then just ?be careful.? To me this means take the time to see the wonders of life. The power it gave me changed the rest of my trip. From then on everything went smoothly...I learned a lot from this Trek. I learned the beauty that exists just off the beaten track. I learned that anything amazing takes time. I learned just how much you could learn from people without even using language...By taking the time to notice all the small things in life you can really appreciate who, where, and what you are. Patience, persistence, and practice makes perfect."

From Aspiring Accountant to Web Developer: Making a Career Change in Under a Year
Blog and News_
by Melissa Carter
When Ty Ackerman graduated from University with a Graduate Diploma in Accounting and an Undergraduate Degree in Bachelor of Business Administration, he was on track to become a Chartered Professional Accountant in just over a year. His future looked good, money in the financial industry was promising, and accountants were still in demand across the board.
But, Ty knew something was missing: "I had worked a few co-op terms in accounting, and though I never really liked the work, the money was good."
"I just kind of assumed that nobody really enjoyed their job - working was just something that people had to do."
While interviewing at accounting firms Ty remembers hearing about his day-to-day tasks and being very disappointed. "There was little space to show my creativity, very long hours (especially during busy seasons) and more often than not, I'd be stuck in an office room for hours on end."
At the same time, the potential decline of the accounting industry was creeping into Ty's mind. Though there was still a high demand for accounting services and money was good, technology was growing and there were more and more automated tools available every day. Ty started to worry that there was a surplus of aspiring accountants, and not enough demand for them.
"I decided it was time to make a change."
Ty considered the careers he could get into and knew there were a few criteria a new one had to have. First, it had to be something that interested him. Second, it had to be a growing industry with in-demand positions. And third, it had to be something he could be fully trained in in less than a year.
"I had just finished a 5 year program and didn't want to do another 2 - 4 year program at another university or college. I thought back to the one course I enjoyed the most in University, which was an introductory programming elective. I remember completing weekly assignments, and then spending an extra couple hours refining my code, testing for every use case, and adding multiple features."
Ty knew he'd found the career for him. After doing some research online, he found multiple Bootcamps in downtown Toronto that advertised launching a new coding career in a matter of months. "I thought it was actually too good to be true, so I toured all their campuses."
"The reason I chose HackerYou was because they were the only Bootcamp that actually cared about me and my new career, and not just getting a tuition cheque."
"In fact, HackerYou actually rejected me from the Bootcamp and told me to try a part-time course first to validate my interests before investing. Every other school emailed me my invoice the same day."
"On top of that, I loved how much HackerYou embraced diversity and inclusivity. A lot of schools preach diversity, but at HackerYou, I never ever feel like the odd one out. The HackerYou community is something special in itself - if I ever have any questions about programming, my career, personal growth, or even sports, I have hundreds of people ready to help me out."
Ty took part-time Web Development at HackerYou in 2017, then graduated from Cohort 18 of our Web Development Immersive Bootcamp in 2018. He was hired as a UI Developer at Scotiabank before the Bootcamp was even finished, and today Ty is a Software Engineer at Amdocs, a Toronto based software company.
"My job allows me to work remote 100% of the time, my schedule is more flexible, and I make more money now than I would have if I had stayed in accounting."
On top of being a successful developer, Ty is also a valuable member of the HackerYou Community. Since graduation he's returned to HackerYou to level-up with our Full-Stack Masterclass, and continues to give back by mentoring current students as both a Bootcamp Buddy and a Fishbowl mentor.
"The most difficult thing about changing careers is making connections with people in the industry. Being a mentor for a student not only allows them to ask me programming and career questions, but I can also serve as an example of what is possible if you trust the process and work hard!"
For someone getting into tech for the first time, Ty's advice is just to do something, anything to validate your interests. "Making a career change is a big deal, so you want to make sure you do your due diligence and carefully vet the decision. Take a free Intro to HTML course online, make the wireframe for a website, watch YouTube videos about coding, tour campuses, talk to people in the industry. Then, once you know you're interested, invest 100% of your time and energy into it."

ODTHA: Jacobs not to blame for Virginia impasse
Posted by Tim Valente | Jan 12, 2016 | Breaking, Business, Opinion, Top Stories, Virginia, Virginia Business | 8 |
The inability of Colonial Downs and Virginia's horsemen to reach agreement on a racing schedule meeting everyone's goals has led to the loss of both the 2014 and (most of the) 2015 racing seasons. Colonial Downs has surrendered its racetrack license, and late last week, the company announced it was selling off the properties of the off-track betting facilities it owned. Many people, including Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D), have blamed what they characterize as the intransigence of Colonial's owner, Jeff Jacobs and his company, Jacobs Entertainment. But in this open letter, Tim Valente, president of the Old Dominion Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, an alternative horsemen's group founded at Jacobs' suggestion, says that that perspective misses the point.

OPEN LETTER FROM THE ODTHA
from ODTHA president Tim Valente
The sport of kings died in the Old Dominion on November 17 and the people responsible for its safeguarding should be the ones taking the heat for its demise, not the owner of Colonial Downs.
Unequivocally, it is the Virginia Racing Commission's (VRC) responsibility to promote and grow the sport within the state. Yet their actions over the last two years, and specifically at the commission meeting one month ago, have set the sport back a century. Oh, there are plenty of local horsemen claiming that thoroughbred racing in Virginia has been saved by finally chasing out the bad guy. Be careful what you wish for. Without the Colonial Downs facility and its world class turf course, many of the pleasures of spending a day at the races will be a distant memory… specifically pari-mutuel wagering. What remains can truly be called "native" racing as the commissioners so eloquently called it in the November meeting. The racing venues they will be promoting from now on will be very similar to what our ancestors used: Fields and make-shift tracks. If that's progress, then job well done. All I can say is, King Charles II must be rolling over in his grave right now.
How did it get to this point? By any proper or rational accounting methods, Jeff Jacobs has lost a substantial amount of money over the 17 years he has owned Colonial Downs. Period. It matters not whether it's $60 million or $100 million, or how much Mr. Jacobs initially invested in the track, as if that makes the losses he sustained over those years somehow more palatable. Clearly, the business plan in place over those 17 years was not sustainable. The track was losing money. Things needed to change. This should have been a shared concern amongst the major stakeholders, not just a Colonial Downs problem; it was not. The thinking was, "That's his problem. He can afford it."
When an industry report was issued by McKinsey & Company in 2011 and followed up by the Jockey Club's "Building Sustainable Growth" in 2012, Colonial Downs and other racetracks around the country took notice. Finally the industry had a plan on how to grow the business. One of the McKinsey report's recommendations was to run fewer races with higher purses. Mr. Jacobs and his management team also recognized that advance deposit wagering (ADW) sites and simulcast wagering facilities were now generating a bigger slice of the overall handle. To compete on the national level and remain viable, Colonial Downs knew it must upgrade its product.
Rather than completely convert to a high-end product, Colonial suggested a combination of higher-end races and lower tier or "bread and butter" races for 2014. Jacobs wanted to emulate the Kentucky Downs blueprint for growth – a real-life example where less racing days and higher purses have produced outstanding results. Jacobs was even willing to invest his own money to see this vision become a reality. However, the Virginia Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association (VHBPA) refused to budge from its old ideology of running multiple weeks of lower level racing – a business strategy proven to be unprofitable and unsustainable. Racing was cancelled for 2014 and thus began the two-year impasse between the VHBPA and Colonial Downs.
When it became apparent that things would not be resolved with the VHBPA, Jeff Jacobs asked me if there were enough horsemen out there willing to support Colonial Downs and this new strategy. ODTHA was organized after I personally spent countless hours on the phone and visiting tracks on the East Coast, mainly in the Mid-Atlantic region. I was convinced that trainers and owners not only wanted racing to return to Colonial Downs but also supported our strategy of upgrading the racing product. In the fall of 2014, after negotiations once again failed with the VHBPA, Colonial Downs asked the VRC to recognize ODTHA so that racing could return for 2015.
When the VRC refused to recognize ODTHA, Colonial Downs surrendered its "unlimited" license – a license that had become a liability, not an asset, considering the untenable schism that existed between the parties. Remarkably, when it became apparent the VRC would not win the legal battle to prevent the recognition of ODTHA, they claimed the "unlimited" license rescission by Jeff Jacobs in 2014 was a "character issue" and based on this, denied Colonial Downs a "limited" license for 2016.
Jeff Jacobs has made it clear he will not continue to subsidize Virginia racing. These subsidies have escalated each year because the industry has evolved into the "haves and have-nots". The "haves" are the racetracks that have other forms of wagering such as slot machines or instant racing machines that augment purses and offset the high costs of conducting live racing. Governor McAuliffe seems intent on blaming Jeff Jacobs for the direction of an industry that must couple its product with other forms of gambling revenue to sustain itself. Virginia's elected officials have chosen to ignore this reality. Yet it was the politicians who urged Jeff Jacobs to make a substantial investment in Virginia thoroughbred racing 17 years ago. Governor McAuliffe should be thanking Mr. Jacobs for his investment, not publicly attacking him for attempting to adapt and grow his business in a difficult industry.
The Churchill Down's Virginia ADW dispute is another example of the dysfunction and lack of control under the leadership of the current VRC. Churchill becomes the second business to publicly voice their displeasure regarding the hostile regulatory environment in Virginia. TwinSpires.com Director of Communications Ed DeRosa told The Blood-Horse, "We question the constitutionality of the Virginia ADW statutory scheme and are prepared to defend our position." Churchill's concerns echo those voiced by Colonial – that a group of horsemen persuaded an ill-advised Governor McAuliffe and the Virginia legislature to pass a law this summer to redirect millions of dollars each year away from the racetrack and into a bank account controlled by the horsemen.
In summary, Commissioner D.G. Van Clief Jr. said in his closing statement that the bifurcation of the racing and its horsemen was the wrong course of action to promote future growth of the industry in Virginia. I could not disagree more with that assessment. Bifurcation is the only reasonable solution to adjudicate this impasse. I would urge elected officials to back the VHBPA in their pursuit of "native" racing in Northern Virginia and support Colonial Downs in their efforts to bring about high-end racing with a multi-day Virginia Derby festival each year.
"Adapt or die." This is precisely why Virginia needs its political leaders to step up now. Governor McAuliffe has done nothing to assist Colonial Downs in its effort to bring nationally recognized racing to Virginia. My hope is that Virginia's next Governor will spend some time and effort making major league thoroughbred horse racing a priority once again in Virginia. If and when it does return to its former glory, I'm hopeful that Colonial Downs is the place that showcases it, and the sport we have come to know, enjoy and love for more than 17 years is alive and kicking.

Corporate propaganda from a stooge of Jacobs entertainment. Tim Valente is no horseman and he speaks for nobody other than the out-of-state Jacobs casino company. Racing in Virginia is alive, no thanks to Jacobs' multi-year attempts to kill it. The legislature and the Virginia Racing Commission have spoken, and what they've said is that Jacobs needs to go back to Colorado. He was poison for the Virginia horse industry, and is no longer wanted in the Commonwealth.
Ram Racing Stable on January 12, 2016 at 4:52 pm
Agree 100% with the Virginia Horsemen's comment to this ridiculous letter. Jacobs did nothing for the horsemen of Virginia. He gave most of the purse money to out of state interests that ran in "nationally recognized" races and never supported the industry in Virginia. The intent of building a track in VA was to support the VA horse industry, not to give away it's money to connections from out of the Commonwealth. Unfortunately, Charles Town and PNGI are following the same failed policy by running a $1.25 million classic race which will be won by connections that have no intention of supporting year round racing in WV. The real reason Colonial failed was the original decision by the racing commission to put this track in the middle of no where. The location was not conducive to attracting horses to run in its races. The track should have been located in Haymarket close to a large population of horses. Good riddance Jacobs and ODTHA. We hope to never see you again.
VaBred Owner on January 13, 2016 at 11:27 am
The last time I went to Colonial Downs, most of the people at the races were from North Carolina. It was a nice facility but it was built where the most powerful Virginian politicians wanted it to be built. What a waste. I heard they want to make a golf course out of it now. Sounds good to me!
DCD on February 17, 2016 at 12:00 pm
I think you are missing the point of the 1.25 million dollar classic. Its about brand recognition and getting people to see the track who otherwise wouldn't. Bringing names like Game On Dude and Shared Belief is the point of that purse. In fact, last year Charles Town handled 2.4 million on that one race, a record for CT going back 80 some years. Combined handle on their three big days (CT Classic, Breeders Classic, Oaks) was up 25%. Its literally the exact opposite of a failed policy.
The tracks are not in the business of giving away money to local trainers. They are in the business of setting up races for people to bet on. Its meaningless to them where those people happen to live.
Though I agree entirely on the location comment. VA would have been much better off putting it in between Richmond and Northern Virginia or off 66. Of 64 puts it in the middle of nowhere.

EZbreeze on January 12, 2016 at 8:19 pm
The VRC has bent over backwards, from my perspective, for Jacobs UNTIL two years ago when he pretty much abandoned the Virginia horsemen to go his own selfish way. New Kent and CLN will never be a boutique meet place. It was and is an absurd idea. So it's a cheap shot to this government organization to say that two years ago they turned against Jacobs. It was the absurd plan he was attempting that turned the VRC in a different direction. Change is not always easy but Virginia racing is now in that transition. I think its worth saying that he may have been losing money on the track but that isn't the same as saying he was losing money in Virginia. He had 8 OTB's (which this author conveniently omits mentioning) working revenue in this state. C'mon man!
Virginia Horseman on January 13, 2016 at 9:28 am
Jacobs refused to open his books to the VHBPA during contract negotiations – surely wanting to hide real truth and continue his poor-mouthing. No business survives 17 years losing money. Jacobs has made plenty of money in Virginia,, but instead of reaching an agreement with the real horsemens' group, was intent on keeping it all for himself. The horsemen, the VRC, and the legislature called his bluff. He is now welcome to follow through on his threat to turn that middle-of-nowhere white elephant of a track into a golf course. Virginia racing has, as you say EZbreeze, moved on. Jacobs and his nonsense are rapidly disappearing in the rear view mirror.
Sinatra Jeter on January 22, 2016 at 10:15 pm
To Jeff Jacobs and the writer of this open letter ODTHA president Tim Valente, to Jeff Jacobs, let the door know hit you where the dog should have bit you when the Virginia Legislature allowed you to sponsor and hold racing in Virginia. For Tim Valente if only you could have gotten along and not become a sell out the real Virginia Horsemen group may have prevailed. It is now time for the Old Dominion flag to come down meaning your group.

Aruba has several areas with decent snorkeling. I read articles before going about snorkeling on your own. We chose to do snorkeling with both the tours we took. In all, we snorkeled in 5 places around the coast of Aruba. I felt safer snorkeling in a group (I'm not exactly an Olympic swimmer) and it was really helpful having people tell me where to look!
Our ABC Island Ultimate Safari tour took us to the Natural Pool and Baby Beach for snorkeling. The Natural Pool is a really special area of Aruba, but it's only accessible with a 4×4 vehicle and a brave driver. You can reach it with a Jeep rental (if you can find one that doesn't ban going there in the contract), but I was more than happy to have our tour guide navigate the rocky "road." Read more about those locations in the Wild Side of Aruba post!
The other tour we took while in Aruba was Sail, Snorkel, Swim Aruba with the Jolly Pirates. We had an energetic group of people go out with us and loved the tour! It made three snorkeling stops.
Another snorkeler spotted this in the shallow water before we got on board. Shows how BIG the starfish were!
The first stop was for the Antilla a WWII Shipwreck. This stop is the furthest from the coast and the waters were really rough. The wreck was far down, the big waves were going down my snorkeling tube, and it was very hard to swim against the current. Even with a lifevest, it made me panic a bit and knowing our limitations we got back on board fairly quickly.
If you want to see the wreck, you can look at it on google maps!
These were our only views at Antilla.
The second and third stops were at Boca Catalina and Malmok. These were both closer to shore and I'm happy to report there was much calmer water! We were easily able to snorkel around! Our underwater finds included starfish as big as our heads, a couple long eels, plenty of fish, rocks and coral.
Shorelines of Boca Catalina and Malmok!
The starfish look small, since they were far below us, but they were huge! The two eels were spotted were also several feet long.
I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a half day spent among the fish!
Note: These photos were taken with a GoPro instead of my normal DSLR.

Joint Technical Symposium
JTS Proceedings
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage
George Boston (1942-2020)
It is with great sadness that we must inform you of the passing of George Boston, who made a significant contribution to the international audiovisual archiving field from the mid-1980s onwards, through his active involvement in IASA, UNESCO, and the collective work of the audiovisual archives associations.
George Boston started his professional carrier as an audio engineer at the BBC. In the 1980s he became studio manager of the BBC Open University Production Unit in Milton Keynes. Helen Harrison, librarian at the Open University and then Secretary General of IASA, invited him to IASA in 1985 where he joined its Technical Committee. He was strongly engaged in the organisation of the Joint Technical Symposium in Berlin 1987, a systematic cooperation of audiovisual archives associations to explore audiovisual preservation across all audiovisual carriers: audio, video, and film. This lead to the formation of the Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), which systematically coordinated audiovisual preservation between the archive associations IASA, FIAF and FIAT, and UNESCO.
In 1992, representing IASA, George became engaged in the foundation of the Memory of the World Programme. He successfully argued that the programme should embrace all kinds of documents, not only documents of outstanding historical importance, but also include contemporary, as well as audiovisual and electronic documents.
George was with the Technical Sub-Committee (SCoT, now the Preservation Sub-Committee PSC) from its beginnings in 1994 and served as its Rapporteur until the Conference "The Memory of the Word in the Digital Age" in Vancouver 2012. He was also Member and Rapporteur for the International Advisory Committee (IAC) from 1995-2000 and of the Register Sub-Committee from 2001-2005.
During the 1990s, he chaired the TCC which took responsibility for the organisation of the Joint Technical Symposia 1990 (Ottawa), 1995 (London) and 2000 (Paris), which became the hallmark in audiovisual preservation since. George also worked as an editor for the proceedings of these events (he was still credited as one of the co-editors of the published papers of the 2016 JTS). He was a key figure in the support of cooperation between the audiovisual archives associations and UNESCO, which ultimately led to the foundation of CCAAA.
In the 1990s, he undertook a number of missions for UNESCO to advise various organizations on ways to improve their library and archive operations. These include trips to Bhutan (1992), Yemen (1992), India (1995), Kenya (1998) and the Bahamas and Jamaica (1999). He was also asked to examine and report on the condition of the AV archives at UNESCO headquarters.
For more than three decades George Boston contributed to the advancement of and international cooperation in audiovisual preservation. The audiovisual archival community and UNESCO have profited substantially from his continued and strong engagement. And those who worked close to him, have enjoyed his competent and prompt support, as well as his omnipresent sense of humour, which had made his and our lives often much easier.
Text adapted from a tribute to George Boston by the Memory of the World Preservation Sub-Committee.
