Who loves local news?

In the United States, it's no longer newsworthy to say that there is a crisis in the news industry. From coast to coast, countless newspapers closed, ceased print publication, or slashed their staffs in the past decade. NPR affiliates nationwide are struggling to reach millennials and are clinging desperately to pastiche reruns of Car Talk to keep donations flowing. Even ratings for local television news are sagging. Altogether, while citizens can turn to countless digital sources of national and international news (or entertainment), the quantity and quality of local news in most communities is rapidly diminishing. Yet, the crisis in local news is not one of supply; it is one of demand.
The public's turn away from local news may not always, or even typically, be the result of a conscious choice. That said, now that Americans (and citizens of many other developed nations) no longer receive local news by default, locating it requires active effort. Identifying what drives people's informational decisions in the face of media choice proliferation is critically important from a democratic perspective. In order to be effective citizens and engaged community members, people need to know about events, issues and opportunities specific to where they live. To be knowledgeable, people need a solid information base – and this generally requires a form of local news.
What motivates people to seek and use local news? How do these motivations differ across generations? How can these motivations be better addressed in the digital age? Though these may seem like fundamental questions, surprisingly few people have investigated them. Resources are often perilously limited at news organizations, academics are inclined to focus on national and international matters (which yield greater scholarly visibility) and major journalism non-profits like the Knight Foundation tend to fund proposals aiming to produce services (like a mobile platform for sourcing breaking news) instead of research. As a result, there is little known about the psychology of local news use in the modern choice-rich media environment.
Drawing on research of individuals' orientations towards citizenship and their communities, I outline three discrete motivational foundations that a choice to seek local news may rest upon. Looking forward, appealing to young people is of particular concern – so this article specifically connects these motivations to what we know thus far about millennials. If community information can be positioned such that it resonates with their identities, perhaps it will be more likely to attract their attention. Offline or online, text or video, a surfeit of excellent journalists are available to provide local news. To succeed, they must produce content that the audience needs, wants and seeks.
Perhaps the most intuitive reason to follow local news is self-interest. People who pay taxes, drink municipal water and send their kids to public schools need to understand the policies and practices of their local government. Local news is an invaluable shortcut: it surveils the government, offers a forum for the discussion of community concerns and is a source of institutional knowledge that contextualizes current events. From this perspective, individuals need not be concerned with anybody other than themselves for reason to use local news: it is purely an instrumental decision made by people who seek direct personal benefit.
Study of political socialization suggests that self-interested motivation develops over the arc of the typical lifespan. Young people, who do not own homes or have children that attend public school, are less aware of the impact of municipalities upon their lives. Accordingly, they have less incentive to engage politically in general or, more specifically, to follow local news. Established community residents feel the bite of property taxes more sharply and care deeply about the opportunities afforded to their children. They have deep-seated reasons to know what is happening in their community and how they might steer policies towards preferred outcomes. Consequently, they are more likely to follow local affairs.
As millennials (who are now reaching their mid-30s) delay settling down, buying a home and having children, they are not developing community roots that make local news use a matter of readily apparent self-interest. In fact, evidence shows that millennials, on the whole, continue to consume little local news. Members of Generation X are more likely to have established themselves in a community and begun a family – but relative to prior generations, they also report low levels of local news use. In other words, usage patterns suggest that one traditional path leading people to local news use may be petering out.
Though it is indisputable that life everywhere is dramatically shaped by local practices and policies, appealing to millennials self-interest on this point may be challenging. As they focus on completing their educations and establishing careers, residential mobility is an advantage for them that discourages investment in local affairs. Though decisions made at the local (or state) level clearly impact access to education, the cost of living and the economic climate, the effects of policy take time to develop. More immediate concerns take precedence for millennials, which diminishes the personal utility of local news.
Aside from self-interest, many scholars assert that the decision to vote or otherwise take part in the political process can be driven by feelings of obligation. From this perspective, citizenship comes with both rights and responsibilities and it is each citizen's duty to perform certain acts. For some people, civic duty may stem from an internalized desire to do what is right. For other people, civic duty may be driven by a feeling that they are expected to perform certain actions. Either way, when behavior is driven by a sense of civic duty, it is reflective of a concern for something – community, social group, democracy – beyond the self.
Extending back to research by political scientists in the mid-20th century, empirical evidence connects civic duty to a host of political and civic actions. Beyond voting, feelings of civic duty may motivate people to volunteer for political campaigns, serve on juries or obey the law. Research does show a correlation between possessing feelings of civic duty and being a news user – but it is not clear which comes first.
Today, many theorists argue that notions of citizenship are changing in nations with post-industrial economies. In short, citizenship for some may increasingly be seen through the lens of the market. If, historically, individuals felt obligated to perform certain key behaviors like voting, people coming of age today may feel that citizenship is sculpted from an array of optional actions inside and outside of the political establishment. People are free to construct their own political identities – just as they are free to create their own sexual and even gender identities. From this point of view, individuals' central political responsibility as a citizen is to be true to themselves.
Indeed, survey research shows that millennials and members of Generation X are much less dutiful than members of previous generations. In general, they acknowledge a responsibility to abide by the law – but they are less likely to see even voting as a condition of citizenship. Further, perhaps only half of millennials believe that paying attention to politics is obligatory. If duty was a foundation for news use in the past, it may not be among rising generations of citizens. Instead, an emphasis on the civic virtue of consuming local news – the leafy green vegetables of the media environment – is likely to be off-putting to people who see citizenship as but one more opportunity for self-actualization.
Community attachment
Rather than being pedantic, an alternative approach to conveying the importance of local information is to attempt to strike an emotional chord with the potential audience. Community (or place) attachment describes the extent to which people possess cognitive or affective bonds with their hometown. Put another way, people who are said to be "high in community attachment" love the physical place where they reside. Sociologists – beginning perhaps with Ferdinand Tönnies – have studied the formation of ties between residents and their communities since the late 19th-century. In agrarian societies, family ties and a close connection to the land support the development of community attachment. Meanwhile, in modern industrial and post-industrial societies, atomized (even transient) lifestyles are more common and community ties are not a given.
There is substantial motivation to understand the antecedents of community attachment. If people feel connected to their community, it is likely that they will stay in that place. Additionally, evidence suggests that individuals who feel attached to their community are more likely to be politically engaged and that communities which have a high proportion of residents who are attached are more prosperous. Though the development of community attachment is somewhat opaque, survey research shows that it is correlated with the presence of abundant social and cultural opportunities, appealing aesthetic amenities and a tolerant interpersonal climate. Additionally, there is a clear correlation between community attachment and local news media use – but the causal ordering of the relationship is not clear.
As reflected by surging real estate costs near many urban cores, millennials place a premium on living in cities. They are broadly shunning suburbs – but are also weighting lifestyle considerations heavily as they choose specific cities that are amenable to their interests and values. Even if these young people are not settling down according to traditional measures, they are forging strong, identifying bonds with particular communities. In many cases, they are even sacrificing career advancement for the opportunity to live in a place that offers greater personal edification.
If appeals to self-interest or obligation are unlikely to increase local news use among millennials, might targeting affect be a more fruitful approach to motivating them? Young people who very carefully – at times at great expense – choose to live in a place might be driven to protect characteristics which attracted them to that place. Cities are tempestuous and tumultuous: change is constant. At heart, news is the reporting of change: not all change, but the change that is most relevant to a particular audience. An emphasis on this central purpose and dedicated attention to the needs of the audience may be a winning formula even when it comes to attracting millennials to coverage of local affairs.
Around the world, the vast majority of elections are held for local or state positions which hold substantial power to shape the lives of citizens. Accordingly, communicating relevant local information to the public is a democratic necessity. From a normative perspective, the process or means of distributing community information is much less important than the outcome: a knowledgeable, engaged public.
The form that local news historically took developed during a period of (relative) information scarcity: people got local news because, to some degree, they did not have alternatives. With such tremendous leverage, journalists and their employers could afford to produce what they thought the audience needed rather than what the audience wanted. This approach is no longer tenable. Looking to the future, greater sensitivity to audience psychology is critical as new sources of community information take shape. n

LEAD Network Webinar: Wising up to Women
Demographics	 02-03-2020
By 2028, women will own 75% of the discretionary spending, making them the world's greatest influencers. Yet, around the world, women are shouldering more of the household burdens, feeling less financially secure and still are facing serious barriers when it comes to equality. As equality improves, their power and influence will continue to grow.
Nielsen recently hosted and participated in the kick-off webinar of the LEAD (Leading Executives Advancing Diversity) Network's Diversity & Inclusion Best Practice series with Unilever to explore the challenges women face and how they are communicating and engaging to create equality. Nielsen is a proud founding partner of the LEAD network and David Kenny recently signed the LEAD Network CEO Pledge.
Nicole Corbett, Director, Global Intelligence, Nielsen, discussed research on the female consumer and our Wise Up to Women campaign along with Constantina Tribou, Vice President for Human Resources at Unilever. Watch the recording below or visit the LEAD Network site to watch this webinar and others from the organization.

Wise up to Women
By 2028, women will own 75% of the discretionary spend, making them the world's greatest influencers. But they're also shouldering more of the household burdens, feeling less financially secure and still are facing serious barriers when it comes to equality. It's time brands wise up to women.
Break Through the "It's Just Not Worth It" Moment to Keep Women Engaged
Globally, women earn less than men and shoulder more of the household responsibilities. This can often leave them feeling like it's just not worth it. The good news is that companies and brands are starting to get it—and starting to understand that they can help.
Beyond martech: building trust with consumers and engaging where sentiment is high
While brands can use data to inform messaging, leverage modern martech to improve targeting and measure engagement to gauge performance, there is one facet of marketing that modern technology can't help with: consumer trust.

Looking Back on Representation (or Lack Thereof) in Jane the Virgin During Its Epic, Final Season
Photo Credit CW ~ Rafael and Jane have had a shock.

The second episode of Jane the Virgin's final season airs tomorrow night, and you should definitely not try to watch it without seeing last Wednesday's season premiere. Without publishing any spoilers, the season 4 finale rocked Jane's world so dramatically that characters in last week's episode end up fainting in shock. Gina Rodriguez also directed and delivered a show-stopping, can't-miss monologue that reminds us all why her character has been so magnetic over the course of the show. The season 5 premiere introduced all of the plot lines that will come to a head by the show's finale at the end of July.
Rodriguez told Vanity Fair that there are going to be "a lot of dope things this season." She talked about how privileged she has been to work with the writers of her show. "They just always cared and the quality always stayed really fierce and strong, and I think because of that I'm really excited about this season. I'm really excited that we're closing up a show with such tenacity and nobody let up."
A post shared by [inactive] (@janevllanuevas)
In the waning weeks of the show, cast members, writers, and fans have been looking back on the legacy of Jane the Virgin, praising the way that the show expanded representation in popular media. The most prominent way it did that is by bringing aspects of Latinx family dynamics and culture to a major television network, to wide acclaim. "It so expertly deploys tropes, styles, and themes familiar to Latinx audiences — while still being accessible to a broad range of viewers — that it almost seems crass to call it a successful case study of what happens when a network commits to 'diversity,'" wrote Diana Martinez in The Atlantic during the show's second season.
Jaime Camil, who plays the role of Jane's biological father, told the New York Times about how refreshing it was for him to play a vulnerable male character who was more than willing to let the women in his life make the important decisions. "The fact that audiences like our characters, that's amazing, that's a blessing," he said. "I think we're leaving behind a legacy of a beautiful, well-written, well-created show that will bring joy to many generations as long as we are able to be on Netflix for many, many years."

However, Latinx representation in the show was clearly limited by its glaring absence of Afro-Latinx characters, made all the more problematic by the way that Rodriguez recently handled what critics felt were anti-black sleights. "[She's] saying things that are well-intentioned but come across as meaning to erase the experiences of dark-skinned women of color, specifically black women," a fan told the Phoenix New Times. "Being a person of color doesn't excuse you from other types of inherent bias."
Perhaps less obvious is the nuanced representation of motherhood. Kathryn VanArendonk wrote in Vulture about how her own experiences as a new mother coincided with Jane's "in her concern about how to become a parent… Not to mention the show's remarkable depiction of the mundane specifics of early parenthood, the breast pumps and sleep training and separation anxieties that are now appearing more frequently [in other shows]."

Q: Graphing from a table VB I am trying to graph from a table called totals(). The program itself is working okay, but i am having some issues. First, for each button press, it is adding the values and regraphing them. I do not want them to add to the previous values, i want them to overwrite the values.
Dim d1, d2, d3 As Single
    Dim dieSumInt As Integer
    Dim totals(17) as integer

    For ptr = 1 To 10000

        dieSumInt = CInt((d1 + d2 + d3))
        totals(dieSumInt) += 1
    Next

The whole code i have here, is supposed to take the sum of 3 dice and graph the totals into a picture box. I have all the graphing down, but each time i hit the "roll" button it keeps adding to the previous values. Im not sure how to clear out the values, to get a consistent value being graphed.

Sports science: An athlete-researcher's experience

Koji Murofushi's career has been a mix of tradition and innovation in sports science. He shares his thoughts on a new training approach.
By Tim Hornyak
Sports science is the study of the body as a performance machine. Its specialties span biomechanics and psychology, and demand for its experts is growing. Whether it's helping everyday people with their physical wellbeing or training elite athletes to react faster endure longer or jump farther, sports scientists and performance consultants are playing an increasingly important role in exercise and competition.
Evidence of growing demand for sports science mavens can be seen everywhere from new university programmes such as the University of Michigan's Exercise & Sport Science Initiative, launched in 2016, to mass media events. In one example of the latter, before Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor went up against boxing champion Floyd Mayweather in a much-hyped showdown in August, he trained at the UFC Performance Institute, a $12 million facility that opened earlier this year in Las Vegas. McGregor used altitude chambers to improve aerobic capacity and ran on an underwater treadmill to build endurance. That may have helped him go more than nine rounds with Mayweather, the overwhelming favorite and eventual winner of the bought.
As seen in our Spotlight on sports science, the discipline uses some of the latest technologies to track performance and process data. But Japanese hammer thrower Koji Murofushi advocates a combination of old and new in order to be at his physical and psychological best. Murofushi is a former Olympic hammer throw champion and a sports scientist. One of his latest studies suggests the phenomenon of parametric oscillation in the motion of the hammer inspired him to create a series of exercises for core stability.
Murofushi comes from a track and field family. When he was 15, he wanted to start throwing the hammer – a 7.26 kg steel ball on a 121-cm wire. His father, himself an Olympic hammer thrower, refused. First, he had to master the footwork and all the other proper body movements, even imagining the hammer's weight, while revolving. In Japanese, that would be described as learning the kata, or correct form, a tradition based around discipline, self-awareness and self-control. Kata is an ancient concept in Japan, preserved in modern Japanese culture in everything from flower arrangement and tea ceremony to making sushi and sumo wrestling.
In scenes that might evoke The Karate Kid, Murofushi practiced casting fishing nets, throwing Japanese folding fans and pouring with traditional teapots to master throwing and grasping. When he finally earned the right to throw a hammer, he let the kata be his guide. It worked. He was soon able to throw farther than young athletes who were bigger and stronger than him. Murofushi went on to build a career out of throwing hammers and he won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He also took up traditional Japanese calligraphy as another mental and physical discipline; one of his recent works bears the Zen-style inscription in Japanese ittou ichinen, or "one throw, one intention."
Murofushi's gold medal-winning throw at the 2004 Athens Olympics
Now the director of Tokyo Medical and Dental University's Sports Science Center as well as sports director for the Organising Committee for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, Murofushi has retired from competition but still holds the record for the fourth-farthest throw in the sport at 84.86 metres. He shares his thoughts on how athletes who feel they've passed their physical prime can deal with fatigue through science-based exercise.
The science of keeping your body guessing
By Koji Murofushi
To throw a hammer, I spin my body 360 degrees four times and then release a wire that's attached to a 16-pound ball. To throw a hammer 80 meters, I have to increase the tension on the wire to around 700 pounds — the same weight as a grand piano — as I let go.
I've been throwing hammers for more than 25 years, winning an Olympic gold medal along the way, but as I grew older I found that it was becoming increasingly difficult to recover from the fatigue and injury. Athletes begin to lose their ability to recover at 30, and that capacity deteriorates significantly after 35. That's when many athletes feel they've reached their physical limits — many consider retirement.
I began to feel like a paperclip; weakened after too many bends — it's the repetitive movement that causes fatigue and injury. But I was surprised to find that after I experimented with different training exercises I'd created (I call them Hammerobics), the stress on my body decreased dramatically.
The aim is to get the body to respond quickly to ever changing stimuli. It challenges both muscles and mind. The athlete performs standard exercises, such as squats, bench presses or step ups, but with hammers attached to either end of the barbell.
As the hammers swing back and forth, they move in a chaotic pendulum motion called parametric oscillation, which is also seen in a hammer throw before release. The unpredictable motion requires quick compensatory muscle movements, reducing the stress of repetition.
An example of chaotic motion
Hammerobics can be incorporated into training regimens two to three times a week. In order to further develop these exercises, I'm investigating how specific areas of the brain react to repetitive and non-repetitive motions. For instance, I've been using functional magnetic resonance imaging to study how brain activity differs when I simply squeeze a sponge over and over with one hand compared to crumpling a newspaper into a ball with one hand.
The latter task requires quick control of hand movements depending on the shape of paper, which is constantly changing. Our experiments have shown how this strongly stimulates the brain area responsible for motor planning and body perception. I believe that Hammerobics can have a similar effect. By avoiding repetitive strain, Hammerobics could benefit both professional athletes and everyday people.

Eastern Han Dynasty Relics Found in Anhui Tombs
Pub Date: 12-04-01 13:14 Source: cntv.cn
More than 50 ancient and rare relics have been uncovered in a tomb excavation in Guxian County, of Anhui Province. The 53-tomb complex is thought to have been constructed over many periods as far back as the Eastern Han Dynasty, nearly 2,000 years ago.
The huge tomb complex was discovered accidentally on a construction site.
It contains over 50 brick tombs from the Eastern Han, Tang and Song dynasties.
Experts have been able to identify the type of people who were buried in some of the tombs.
Zhao Lanhui, deputy researcher of Bengbu Cultural Relics Institute, said, "Lying south to north would perhaps be people of four generations. Because of its size, we know the tomb is from the Song Dynasty. It's small and fairly simple in style. These tombs sometimes have quite a unique character, and have been known to be built in the shape of an animal."
More than 50 ancient and rare relics have been uncovered in a tomb excavation in Guxian
County, of Anhui Province. The 53-tomb complex is thought to have been constructed over
many periods as far back as the Eastern Han Dynasty, nearly 2,000 years ago.
Though some tombs have been plundered over the years, precious relics have emerged, such as bronze mirrors, gold and silver garments, and pottery boxes.
Most of the people buried here were thought to have been common people, until the discovery of one special, delicate and well preserved mirror.
Zhou Chongwen, archaeologist, said, "It's a relatively large bronze mirror, which means the owner had a certain social status."
The study is continuing into the tomb's history and the kind of people who lived here.
It's generating a great deal of interest in the area's heritage and cultural identity.

Julissa Prado was 15 years old when she began investing in her dream. Today, she is the proud founder of Rizos Curls, a haircare line designed for women with all curl types. We sat down with her to learn what steps she took before she solely focused on Rizos Curls, and how she's managed to make her launch so successful.
Julissa's parents knew from early on that their little girl would be a force to be reckoned with. She was opinionated and determined from the start, which is why she had enough foresight not only to dream but also to pursue Rizos Curls with relentless passion. See, at a time when most teenagers are starting to understand the world around them, Julissa had enough ambition to put away half the money she made as a server at her family's restaurant to save for her future business. But as outspoken as little Julissa was, she kept Rizos Curls secret for over seven years. That's until she confided in her brother, the person she trusted the most and her best friend since childhood.
Talking to her brother was all Julissa needed to put her dreams into action. She spent four years perfecting the formula for Rizos Curls, all while cultivating a promising career as a marketer at Nestlé.
It was only six months ago that Julissa launched The Rizos Curls System Trio which includes a hydrating shampoo, a deep conditioner, and a curl defining cream. Inspired by her grandmother, Julissa uses aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, moringa oil, and sunflower oil in her products to promote hair growth, scalp health, and control frizz. The products have been making waves in the natural hair community and are a major hit among girls looking for a natural product free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens.
Leaving the comfort of a steady paycheck in pursuit of a dream is risky, and one of the most challenging decisions entrepreneurs have to make. Julissa shared with us what helped her make this decision and which tools and resources helped ease her transition.
At what point did you decide to leave your job and pursue rizos curls full time?
I took a while to make that decision, but one day I woke up with this urge to rip off the Band-Aid and decided to turn in my letter of resignation. The rest is history.
How did you prepare for such a big decision?
I had the benefit of working for a major consumer packaged goods company, so I spent the last few months of my job learning and absorbing information. I also spent that time saving as much money as I could to prepare for the next move. I wanted to make sure I could support myself for at least three months without having to touch a penny from my Rizos Curls savings. Today, I re-invest all the money I make on "Rizos" back into the company. My goal is to keep building and growing the brand.
What advice do you have for women struggling with the decision to pursue their passion full time?
For everyone struggling with this decision, know that our bodies have their own clock. It's important to trust your own process, so take that leap when your heart and mind give you the signal.
Rizos Curls is making a splash in the natural hair community. How did you manage to do that?
I put a lot of energy into my PR, mainly because I knew I had something special and I wanted to share it with the world. Before my launch last September, I reached out to dozens of relevant sites. I started off by sending ten PR pitches a week and then tapered off to about ten a month. Today, many publishers are reaching out to me, which has made it easy to share my story with the world.
What advice would you give women looking to follow in your footsteps?
Anyone who's just starting out should use all the resources around them. One of those primary resources is people. I'm a huge fan of collaborations, and I'm lucky to have found other Latina-owned businesses in LA with whom to build a community. For example, I've done collaborations with Shop Latinx, an online database of Latinx companies and editorial content, as well as Hija De Tu Madre, a shop that sells fashionable statement jackets representing Latinx culture. We get together in what we like to call our "Las Jefas" Lunches where we share each other's' challenges and offer helpful advice. By collaborating with like-minded business, you can avoid recreating the wheel and also be a resource for other entrepreneurs.
What's next for Rizos Curls?
We've been very successful with the launch of our shampoo, conditioner and curl cream, so much that we're excited to launch three new products in the next few months. We're introducing a refresher spray, a leave-in moisturizer, and a gel- all made with natural ingredients and free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens.

The end of the summer holidays is actually in sight (phew!😉) and I am feeling the need to finish off the decluttering I began a few months ago.
I found this chart on a post by theheartysoul.com and it's a great way to make the process more manageable. You could even make a wee one for the children to work through their rooms?

What Makes Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner Fashion's "It" Girls?
The models get this #KellonEarth star's seal of approval.
The supermodel is back — and fiercer than ever before. While it was once Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista who ruled the catwalk, these days the industry is run by a new crop of women who are social media savvy and ready to take on the world with one single tweet. Models like Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Kendall Jenner are landing some of the biggest campaigns, and, of course, runway shows all over the globe. And there's a good reason for it.
"Those girls would have been models even if they weren't on television. They're stars and stars don't always run in families. There are plenty of famous people that don't have not famous children. Those girls are super amazing," Kell on Earth's fashion PR maven Kelly Cutrone told The Daily Dish about those girls' reality TV pedigrees. And she says that their success in the industry isn't just about their undeniable good looks. "Just being able to stand there and get your picture taken is really boring. Nobody wants to see a model who doesn't have energy and isn't diverse and those girls are persoanlities-paloozas."
And this crop of fashion "it" girls has redefined what it means to be a supermodel in a way the previous generations never could have imagined. "And they're industries," Kelly said. "Not only are they showing up and looking good in the clothes and rocking the runway and rocking the photo shoots, but they're coming with millions of followers. And they have their own PR and marketing teams, and their own distribution networks. Can you imagine Lauren Hutton doing that in the '70s? No. That's not how it worked. It's actually changed the face of the business."
Need some proof of their flawlessness? Check out some modeling shots of Gigi and Bella.

There's something for every stag in this city, whether you're into dressing up like a mad Highlander and tossing your caber around (ooer) or having a go at being an artist. Grab a red wig and a sporran if you fancy a bash at the Highland Games, or come prepared for pencil-wielding perfection when your stag party settles down to capture the form of completely naked ladies. If you don't get around to actually making a mark on the canvas, we don't blame you. These girls are red hot.
Glasgow has it all, chaps. Great accommodation, historic surroundings, and stag weekend activities that effortlessly combine huge hits of adrenaline with daft dares and lots of booze. Hey, what can we say? Glasgow's residents know how to party - and you're invited to join in!
It's all going off in Glasgow right now. Want action? You got it. Golf nuts can plan a stag do around the annual Ryder Cup at Gleneagles. Those who prefer to do rather than watch can try everything from canoeing at the scenic Loch Lamond to gorge scrambling. Get the adrenaline going by day and then party after dark on the legendary Sauciehall Street.

Spotlighting tness trends that will rule 2018!
Each year, as we progress professionally and get busy, our health and fitness regimes take a backseat. The need of the hour is for a form of exercise that takes less time and is resultoriented. HIIT is an interval training having cardiovascular exercise alternating with short periods of intense anaerobic exercise and less intense recovery periods. One can easily benefit from it in terms of improving cardio vascular conditioning, strengthening, core stability etc. So in the coming New Year, HIIT should be a part of the must try list.
Yoga has been topping the chart each year but this New Year the trend is shifting to more modernized forms such as vinyasa, yang and ying, glow and sound yoga: Glow yoga is practicing yoga under neon and black lights keeping the basics of yoga intact. Sound yoga believes in the ideology that everything that exists in the cosmos including human beings consists of sound vibrations, and so with continued sound, focused mind and controlled breath, one can listen to their inner sound and heal progressively. Vinyasa flow yoga involves synchronizing breath with continuous flow of postures. This is a more popular form in the west and is gaining popularity in India too. Yang Ying yoga is performed with slow, steady moves with a sense of core softness in ying, while yang is more mobile and builds apex before calming down along with building core strength.
Vinyasa flow yoga involves synchronizing breath with continuous flow of postures. This is a more popular form in the west and is gaining popularity in India too.
The difference between the two styles is the degree of performance and engagement.
Brazil's national sport, capoeira is a martial art that is disguised as a form of dance with elements of music. It is practiced in a non-combat, non-aggressive, noncompetitive method, teaching self-defense and life skills in the most unique way. A typical capoeira class incorporates free movement-based exercises done with individuals, couples and groups helping in strength, flexibility, reflexes and co-ordination. Teaching in the form of games makes it fun and challenging.
These are gaining popularity among the new generation fitness enthusiasts for the simple reason that they can be amazing movement drills for strength, conditioning and improving the overall movement coordination, mobility and capacity in the human body. One can develop many different aspects of fitness with different animal walks.

Laurie Lane-Zucker is all about building impact investing ecosystems. With that in mind, the founder of Impact Entrepreneur, a mega-group on LinkedIn, and an impact consultant, is planning to launch Impact Inside. The initiative aims to form social enterprise incubators for ventures focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They'll be located at various universities and co-working sites, tapping impact investing and entrepreneurial incubator tech platforms.
Lane-Zucker, who is based in Sheffield, Mass., recently sent out a call for places interested in participating in pilots. Close to 80, located from Amherst, Mass., to Nairobi, responded, according to Lane-Zucker. Each pilot location needs a partner providing space and another financing, though, in some cases, that might all be done by the same place.
The plan is for each pilot location to kick off with a challenge, inviting entrepreneurs focused on the SDGs and, specifically, on #2 ("End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture"), to apply. Each place will choose 5 to 10 teams, who then will go through the incubator program.
That will include a combination of online and on-site activities. After a one-day orientation, teams will be matched with a set of appropriate mentors, tapping Impact Entrepreneur's network. They'll spend the next four to six months working remotely, using Bridge for Billions, a technology platform for online startup incubation, coming up with an investor-ready plan with marketing strategy, financial models and the works. Along the way, they also will be able to participate in educational webinars. Towards the end of the process, entrepreneurs will get access to the CASE Smart Impact Capital platform, which supplies tools and lessons for finding impact investors.
Lane-Zucker also says he's creating a financial instrument, which he's calling an "integrated impact finance vehicle", to help support some of the enterprises going through the program. The goal is for it to provide a mix of grants, debt and private equity.
Still undecided is whether partners, like hubs providing space, will take an equity stake in the enterprises. Whatever the decision, according to Lane-Zucker, the model could be especially attractive for co-working hubs, since it allows them to provide local entrepreneurs with access to a network of global resources. "How many hubs can do that?" he says.
As for who will fund the pilots, some participating universities might be able to provide financing for pilots they house. Other schools, along with hubs, likely will need to team up with a fiscal sponsor. Lane-Zucker is hoping impact investing-oriented foundations and community foundations, as well as individuals and local economic development programs, also will be interested in providing funding. He's worked it out that a pilot with 10 teams will cost $130,000.
Lane-Zucker formed Impact Entrepreneur on LinkedIn in 2011. After that, he started a consulting business working with early and growth stage companies. More recently, he launched Impact Entrepreneur Center for Social and Environmental Innovation, based in the Berkshires, as a hub and think tank.
The call for partners will continue through March. Pilots will run on their own timeline, so they aren't all starting at the same time. The number of them will depend on how many viable partnerships Lane-Zucker can help put together.

Q: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common I have been using previous version of unity extension. Now I have to upgrade my project with a newer version of Unity Extension.
I have code in my previous version as :-
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.Unity.UnityContainerExtensions.AddNewExtensionIfNotPresent<Microsoft.Practices.Unity.InterceptionExtension.Interception>(Context.Container);
this.Context.Container.AddExtension(new ContainerRegistration());

But in new version Unity is not found under Configuration, has it moved to a new method?

A: The Unity building block can be installed with NuGet. You can get more informations here, or by opening the package manager in Visual Studio and searching for Unity.
The class you're looking for are now in another namespace. For example, UnityContainerExtensions is in Microsoft.Practices.Unity. I'd recommend adding a using on top of the classes where you're dealing with the UnityContainer to simplify the reading.

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 Interview with Rachel Bloom and Jason Sudeikis
Photo: Babysavers.com
It's no doubt that THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 is made all that much better by its amazing, star-studded cast. While in Los Angeles, I had the opportunity to interview stars Jason Sudeikis, who returns as Red, and Rachel Bloom, as Silver (who happens to be Chuck's sister).
While our interview was short, it was filled with a LOT of laughs because Jason and Rachel are both just so naturally funny AND great improv artists. It seems effortless for them to fill a room with laughter.
Besides showing us their super funny side, Rachel and Jason also showed us their thoughtful side, particularly when it comes to what being part of THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 means to them.
The Positive Messages of The Angry Birds Movie 2
Rachel said, "I'm really proud to be playing a female character in STEM. When you're a little girl you're looking for characters who remind you of yourself and you can look up to. If there is one little girl out there who sees my character and says "I'm going to grow up to be an engineer." and goes into that, then you don't have to pay me for the movie. Well, honestly you DO have to pay me for the movie, but that is so incredible special and that's why I wanted to this movie."
"I like that this movie is really about empathy and radical compassion," she continued. "There is no straight-up villain in this movie. You understand eventually where everyone is coming from and I think that is how we should all live our lives. Everyone wants to be the hero of their story and everyone is afraid of abandonment and people rejecting them. I think even the angriest characters like Red, you go into his head and understand that his anger and not wanting a truce and his stubbornness doesn't just come from being stubborn for stubbornness sake. It comes from fear. I think that is especially important to encourage young boys and men to be open with their emotions and not resort to just anger. That anger is coming from a place from fear and being hurt and that's ok."
Jason added, "Sometimes even people's positive attributes come from a place of fear, like Red wanting to be a hero, which we would consider a positive thing, is still coming a place of pain. So, it is a little bit inauthentic and being deprived of it makes him scared, which he shields with anger. It is nice to see these complex issues presented like the medicine with a spoonful of sugar being all these jokes."
The Angry Birds Movie 2 Improv
While creating THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2, we wondered if the improv the actors do is something they think of when they first read the script or something the come up with as they are performing. Rachel said she finds it a mix. " You can read ahead and sometimes think, "Oh, I could do this here." But they tell you in improv 'don't think" and I think a lot of that comes from instinct." Jason said that in the animation process improvisation is somewhat different in that improv is often in how you relate to others. When recording for animation the actors start out by themselves. It's not until later in the recording process when other parts have been recorded that you can hear what else is going on and improv with that or "harmonize with it" as Jason called it. "It's about that connection that sometimes needs to be in the tone of a voice vs. the content of what they're saying."
Advice for Kids on Dealing with Frenemies:
Jason said, "You have to keep leaning in. If someone closes the door on you, don't take it personally, find out where they are coming from, and then try knocking again later. And then maybe knock a little louder." Rachel has a bit different approach and said "I think there are some people who just don't want to be friends and that has nothing to do with you. At a certain point if you try to be friends with someone who really doesn't want to be your friend, it gets hurtful. So, it's ok to walk away and put up that boundary of saying "I'm going to step away from this person and protect myself." Jason added, "the old cliche of 'a lot of fish in the sea' need not apply only to romantic relationships."
About THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2:
The flightless angry birds and the scheming green piggies take their beef to the next level in THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2! When a new threat emerges that puts both Bird and Pig Island in danger, Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage) recruit Chuck's sister Silver (Rachel Bloom) and team up with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), his assistant Courtney (Awkwafina), and techpig Garry (Sterling K. Brown) to forge an unsteady truce and form an unlikely superteam to save their homes.
THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 flies into theaters August 13!

SCSO PRESENTS AT THE HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE POLICE CITIZEN'S ACADEMY
The Saline County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) made a 2-hour presentation last night at the Hot Springs Village Police Citizen's Academy. The topic was Crime Scene Investigations. Because this topic was of such interest to the citizens, HSVPD Chief Ricky Middleton opened the class up to all alumni from previous Citizen's Academy classes. Over 50 citizens from the Village attended.
SCSO Chief Deputy Jay Fitzpatrick and Lieutenant Jeffrey Silk opened the class with brief comments about the strong relationship that has formed between the SCSO and the HSVPD.
SCSO Lieutenant JP Massiet led the presentation. Lt. Massiet not only has nearly 20 years of experience investigating major crimes while assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division in Pulaski County, but his experience also dates back an additional decade when he was a criminal investigator at a law enforcement agency in southern California. He became part of Sheriff Rodney Wright's Command Staff in March 2015, and is currently the Jail Administrator at the Saline County Detention Center.
In addition to Lt. Massiet's expertise, Saline County Coroner Kevin Cleghorn complimented the presentation with his death investigation experience.
In the first hour, Lt. Massiet outlined the importance of interviewing witnesses, sketching the crime scene, making observations, photographing the scene, re-sketching the scene to scale and collecting evidence. Two real-life murder scenes were presented to the class and the citizens responded with several questions. The investigation of a fatality motor vehicle accident was then presented, at which time the citizens again actively participated by asking many questions.
During the second hour, citizens entered a room where a crime scene had been re-created. The citizens were asked to make observations while Lt. Massiet explained how he would approach the scene. Coroner Cleghorn discussed the role of the Coroner's Office at a murder scene and how the victim's body is a key piece of evidence.
Many thanks to Chief Middleton for inviting the SCSO and Coroner Cleghorn to the Village to make this presentationLieutenant JP Massiet led the presentation.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (November 20, 2018) – Saint Anselm College, ranked No. 4 in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II and D2SIDA Top 25 media poll outscored Stonehill College 15-1 over the final five minutes of the first half and didn't look back in notching a 92-66 victory in Northeast-10 Conference men's basketball action at Stoutenburgh Gymnasium tonight.
Sophomore Chris Paul led three Saint Anselm players in double-figures with a game-high 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting, converting 10-of-13 free-throws, to go with nine rebounds and two assists. Classmate Gustav Suhr-Jessen added 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting, connecting on both three-point attempts, with nine rebounds and two assists, while senior Tim Guers totaled 18 points, nine boards, six assists and two steals.
Junior Will Moreton paced Stonehill with 16 points on 7-of-16 shooting, eight rebounds and two assists. Senior Joel Berroa was the only other Skyhawk in double-figures with 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting, draining both three-point tries, and grabbing two boards. Junior Dan Largey and freshman Josh Mack each chipped in nine points, a season-high for Mack to go along with four rebounds and two assists.
Stonehill grabbed an early lead and was up four (13-9) after a jumper by sophomore Owen Chose just over six minutes into the game. Saint Anselm followed with the next ten points to grab a six-point edge (19-13) after a three-point play from Guers four minutes later. He had six points in all during the spurt, draining a three-pointer from beyond the arc as well.
Twitty stopped the run initially with a three-pointer to draw Stonehill back within three (19-16), but sophomore Spencer Cline and freshman Miles Tention followed with back to back triples to stretch the Saint Anselm lead to nine (25-16) just past the midway point of the half.
Stonehill was still within four (27-23) with a Chose basket with 7:32 remaining in the half, and the Skyhawks deficit was seven (32-25) after a Largey bucket with five minutes left, but the visitors would score just one more point and was held without a field goal the remainder of the half. Saint Anselm, meanwhile, outscored Stonehill 15-1 over the closing 4:21 of the frame to take a 21-point halftime lead (47-26). Guers finished the half with 17 points, including seven during the closing run, while Paul had 12 to lead the Hawks.
Stonehill wouldn't close within 19 points the rest of the way, with Saint Anselm leading by as much as 37 (77-40) after a Paul layup midway through the second half.
Stonehill (2-3, 1-2 NE10) is right back in action on Friday, when it competes in the Terrace Hotel Classic, hosted by Florida Southern College, in Lakeland, Florida, against Saint Leo University at 5:30 p.m. The Skyhawks return to Merkert Gym next Wednesday, November 28, host Merrimack College for an NE10 matchup at 7:30 p.m. Saint Anselm (4-0, 1-0 NE10) is off until next Wednesday, when it visits Southern New Hampshire University at 7:30 p.m.

Q: Can the common Windows application development workflow apply to WCE7? Specifically speaking for Windows Embedded Compact 7 (with a x86 PC).
In a perfect scenario, I would hope to use the common desktop application development workflow. For example, "install" the provided WCE7 OS from CD, boot-up the OS, copy over a console application to the hard drive and execute the console application (to run some simple tests) - such as I would do on my Windows 7 desktop.
However, in research, I found the common workflow for developing an application on an embedded system with WCE7, includes but is not limited to, creating the OS image with platform builder, installing a boot loader on the device, connect to the device, load the custom built image and run the image from flash etc. (reference: Compact 7 Getting Started by Samuel Phung)
Can the former common application workflow apply to WCE7? If yes, how? If not, why?
I did see Add CAB file to the OS design and How to install an application into the Windows CE 7 image? and How to install .exe file on windows embedded compact 7? but not sure if their scope helps to fully answers this more general design type question.
(In spirit of the former, I did try to executed the installer provided on the WCE7 ISO - but this just appears to load files onto the hard drive, on a partition I made, and was unable to boot into the OS. Since it did not do what I was expecting, what is the purpose of the WCE7 installer? If we build the image from Visual Studio to begin with, how does this installer tie into the second methodology?)
Any point in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

A: Windows Embedded Compact is "installed" by device vendors not end users - there is no generic installation because unlike PC hardware there is no generic standard target platform.  The "installation" you used was presumably for the software development kit and tools.
Some development platform vendors may provide a pre-configured WinCE image for their particular platform.
It is possible to create an OS image for your particular hardware that includes a shell through which you can load and execute the tests you describe.

So about a week ago I dropped a 45lb weight on my foot which caused a hairline fracture on my metatarsal by my big toe. The doctors said I'd be back to normal after a week, but I am now experiencing numbness in my middle and fourth toe, is this something I should be considered about?

From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a novel about a struggling writer who gets his big break, with a little help from the most famous woman in America.
After years of trying to make it as a writer in 1990s New York City, James Smale finally sells his novel to an editor at a major publishing house: none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Jackie–or Mrs. Onassis, as she's known in the office–has fallen in love with James's candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the book's forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can't bring himself to finish the manuscript.
Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother. Then a long-held family secret is revealed, and he realizes his editor may have had a larger plan that goes beyond the page…
From the bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus comes a funny, poignant, and highly original novel about an author whose relationship with his very famous book editor will change him forever–both as a writer and as a son.
