Gatherings, shopping trips, and reunions can make it difficult to maintain a steady routine. Avoid over-scheduling and try to stick as close as possible to your regular schedule. If you cannot make it to every holiday event, don't be afraid to say so.
When you first found yourself taking on the role of caretaker, you no doubt found your life changing dramatically, taking on a "new normal." Likewise, your holidays may need to take on a new normal, as there are some traditions that may just be out of reach. Work with your loved one to create rituals that will accommodate both of you and that still encompass your sense of the season.
Perhaps one of the most frustrating things to face as a caretaker is the loss of control. You can't control the how the health condition is affecting your loved one, and you can't control how much of your time is taken away from you. During the holidays, this can be especially apparent as you have to say "no" to invitations that you would like to say "yes" to.
While you can't control the circumstances, you can control your attitude. A positive outlook can help increase your energy, mood and productivity, which can translate into being able to do more during the holidays.
Remember to take a step back and allow some self-care during this hectic time of year. If you need any other tips on how to make this time of year better for you and your loved one, stop by and talk to our experts! We have the tools you need to ensure they can remain safe and comfortable in their own home.
Don't Let Your Mobility Aid Cause You to Have a Fall!
Make sure that it's the proper height. No matter which device you're using, your arms shouldn't be bent or raised in an uncomfortable way.
Place the device in front of you and step into it. This is true of both a cane and a walker, and it shouldn't be placed so far in front that you have trouble stepping into it.
Use proper posture. If you are hunched or slouched over, this will make it easier for you to sustain a fall while using your mobility aid.
When getting up and down from a chair, put your mobility aid in front of you and push up. Trying to grasp it after you've stood up could cause you to fall.
Make sure your path is cleared of anything that could trip you up, such as rugs, cords and other clutter.
Finding out from your doctor if your medications will have side-effects such as making you dizzy, tired or weak.
Get your eyes checked regularly to make sure your prescriptions are still working as they should.
Revamp your home environment to make sure it's safe. This includes installing bathroom safety equipment such as grab bars, raised toilet seats and shower chairs.
For more tips on how to avoid a fall, talk to the experts at Valley Home Medical. We can demonstrate in person how to best use a walker, rollator or cane and help you avoid a costly trip to the emergency room!

Know Your Family History – Approximately 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are hereditary. This percentage isn't huge, but it is high enough to pay attention to. If you do have breast cancer in your family history, consult a geneticist. You can then determine if you carry the genetic variation, BRCA2, that makes you more prone to developing breast cancer.
Know your body – Dense breasts make your cancer risk approximately six times higher. Become familiar with how dense your breast tissue is and look for changes as you age. While there is nothing you can do to decrease the density of your breast, you can ask to have an additional MRI or ultrasound screening during your next scheduled mammogram.
Stay fit –Experts recommends keeping your exercise to at least 150 minutes per week, which is 30 minutes per days for 5 days per week. This activity can help to boost your immune system and keep your body fighting off unwanted invaders.
Eat right – Studies have shown that women who had high carotenoid levels in their blood system had a 19 percent lower risk of breast cancer. Aim to get more carotenoids in your system by eating additional fruits and vegetables. Foods such as leafy greens, red peppers, and carrots are a few examples of foods high in carotenoids.
Detect early – If found early, your prognosis is drastically improved. You have a 90 percent survival rate if found early and confined only to the breast. How do you detect early? Know your breast tissue, know your family history, and get screenings more often and earlier if you think you are at a higher risk for breast cancer.
There are many tips available to reduce breast cancer risk including breast-feeding, minimizing hormone therapy and reducing exposure to radiation. At Valley Home Medical, we want to support you in your fight against breast cancer. Please share these tips throughout October and continue to educate your friends and family on Breast Cancer Awareness.
Compression therapy helps increase circulation in your legs via the special socks that support your veins. By helping to prevent blood pooling in leg veins, compression therapy diminishes leg swelling and helps to prevent any other complications. To avoid future problems, it's important to know these three things about these super socks!
Compression therapy stockings help to treat vein diseases by supplying pressure to legs to help control swelling and discomfort. The strongest support starts at the ankles and gets gradually lighter. The pumping action of the calf muscles combines with the gradient compression of the socks to help assist blood circulation. The compression of your tissues helps move excess fluid back into the capillaries to prevent fluid buildup. This helps benefit you if you have achy legs, varicose veins, swelling, venous ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, post-thrombotic syndrome, and other issues.
There are numerous benefits from compression stockings. Compression therapy increases blood circulation, decreases blood pooling, minimizes spider and varicose veins, and decreases venous pressure. Along with blood flow positives, compression therapy also affects the tissue. It decreases swelling, drains toxins like lactic acid, decreases inflammation, and improves the movement of tendons and joints.
It is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds up, so schedule an appointment for the morning. You will speak with your doctor to see if graduated compression stockings are a good fit for you. They will then help you figure out what pressure grade is right for you. From there, you can come into a home medical equipment provider such as us and pick out the right compression therapy stocking for you.
Compression therapy is extremely important in helping overall circulation and leg swelling. By being educated on the importance and design of the stockings, you will be able to utilize them to their fullest in order to live more comfortably.
This is perhaps the most crucial, if not most overlooked preventative measure you can take to protect yourself from germs. A good rule of thumb is to rub the soap in your hands for about the same amount of time it takes to sing the "Happy Birthday" song under warm water.
By touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, bacteria has a chance to make its way into your body much faster. Germs are most commonly spread by touching something that has been contaminated and then bringing those germs up to your face.
Clean surfaces and objects with disinfectants in order to keep away from the germs. By keeping a clean environment, you will be less likely to touch something contaminated and become sick.
To avoid spreading the flu, be sure to cover your cough or sneeze with your arm. By coughing into your arm, you are taking the preventative measure to not spread the flu by having germs on your hands.
If someone is sick or looking sluggish, try to stay away from them and objects they touch. By keeping out of coughing range, you will minimize your exposure to germs and have a better chance of staying healthy.
These tips are simple but crucial in aiding your health, so you can be at your best this flu season. By taking precaution and spreading these simple tips around, you can help others stay healthy and away from the flu bug!
Mobility aids such as walkers and rollators are meant to aid those whose range of motion has been limited due to health conditions such as arthritis. While they're meant to offer stability and balance, it's not uncommon for people to use them improperly, which can lead to great discomfort.
Your walker shouldn't be so low that you have to stoop over it, nor should it be so high that you have to reach up in order to grasp it. The ideal height should allow your elbows to be bent in a position that is natural and comfortable.
When using a walker, you should push it slightly in front of you, and then step into it. Often, people tend to push it too far ahead of them, which causes them to take uncomfortably long steps. Another mistake walker users make is looking down at their feet as they walk. Your eyes should always be in front of you.
The proper way to sit down with a walker is to position yourself in front of the chair. Let the back of your legs touch the chair so you know you're close enough to sit. Shift your weight to your stronger leg, and slide your weaker leg forward. Then change your grasp from the walker to the arms of the chair.
Place the walker in front of you and scoot forward in the chair. Use the arms of the chair to push yourself up. Then switch your grasp to the walker's handles.
Getting the right walker for you and making sure it's adjusted properly are two key components to ensuring that you use your walker correctly. The experts at Valley Home Medical can help make sure that your equipment suits your needs. Stop in or call us today for assistance!
More senior than ever are choosing to age in-place. While this can have many benefits for their mental and emotional health, it could pose a few safety risks, especially if they have limited mobility. If you've visited your parents recently and have watched them struggle with moving around, you may already be well aware of the challenges they're facing.
You may be able to help your parents out by purchasing them a lift chair. This piece of furniture has the appearance of an overstuffed recliner, but hidden beneath that fluff are mechanisms that allow it to move in a number of positions. One of those positions is tilting it forward, allowing a person with limited mobility to get in and out of a sitting position by themselves.
If your parent is able to get in and out of their chair on their own, they won't have to rely on you to help them up. This allows you to free up some of the time you'd otherwise spend monitoring them to make sure they don't have an accidental fall.
It's more common than you realize for someone to suffer injury when helping an elderly relative rise or sit in a chair. Getting a person from a sitting or lying position can present serious challenges, as even a small misstep can lead to injury of either party.
It's hard for many seniors to accept that they can't do many of the things they're used to doing on their own. A lift chair gives them back some of their independence, and thus restores some of their dignity.
In addition to the reasons listed above, a lift chair could mean less stress between the caretaker and parent. We have a wide variety to choose from at Valley Home Medical, and we can help you pick out the one that best meets your parents' needs.
Understand all of your treatment options: Exercise, arthritis pain medication or joint surgery for severe arthritic cases can reduce or eliminate your pain caused by arthritis.
Eat the right foods: Following an anti-inflammatory diet full of fish and vegetables could potentially reduce arthritic flare-ups. Eating healthy can also result in weight loss, which can reduce pressure on your joints, easing your arthritic pain.
Find the right exercise plan for you: If you are in pain caused by arthritis, exercise may be the last thing on your mind. Activities such as water aerobics and swimming can give you the exercise you need without increasing your joint pain brought on by arthritis.
Take frequent breaks: Whether you're in the middle of an arthritis flare-up or you want to avoid another flare-up, it's important for you to give yourself a break. Taking short naps, going to bed early to get a full 8 hours of sleep, and resting when you feel tired can help reduce the pain caused by arthritis.
Utilize arthritis mobility products: Give your joints a rest and reduce your recovery time after an arthritic flare-up by using mobility products specially designed for those who suffer from pain caused by arthritis.
At Valley Home Medical, we offer a wide variety of mobility aids that can help you get around easier. From leg lifters and bed rails to bed canes and easy transfer swivels, Valley Home Medical can help you find the best mobility device for your specific needs.
For some, buying a mobility scooter can be very overwhelming. With all the different styles, types, and prices, it can be difficult to narrow down your decision. At Valley Home Medical, we understand that you may need a little extra help finding the right mobility scooter for your individual needs.
Consider the construction of your desired mobility scooter: For travel on uneven surfaces or hills, a scooter with rear wheel drive will provide you with better traction and control over your mobility scooter.
Carefully consider the size and dimensions of your new mobility scooter: When transitioning from a sitting to standing position on your scooter, ensure that your feet are comfortably placed for maximum safety.
Learn more about the safety features of your new scooter: Find a scooter with anti-tip mechanisms for sharp turns and a stable base for traveling up and down hills.
Determine how much control you need: Most mobility scooters are controlled by thumb levers. However, those with limited thumb mobility may have more control over the scooter with a joystick attached to the armrest instead of the traditional thumb lever.
Don't forget about accessories: Choose a mobility scooter that can meet all of your needs. From oxygen transporters and crutches to front baskets and horns, make sure that you purchase a mobility scooter that can be customized to fit your exact needs.
To learn more about all of the different types of mobility scooters and determine which one will work best for you, visit Valley Home Medical today to speak with one of our knowledgeable team members or take a look at our online catalog to view the large selection of mobility scooters available.
While a cane may seem like a simple and straightforward device to use, many people struggle with it at first. Some even decide to just move around less, rather than having to undergo the hassle of learning to use one.
Use the cane on the sound side of your body.
Many people start off using the cane on the weaker leg, but this is actually the opposite of how it should be used. Instead, use the cane on the stronger leg, pulling the weaker leg behind you.
Your elbow should be at the 5:00 position.
A cane that is too high or too low can cause discomfort and hinder your ability to use it properly. You don't want it so low that your hand is pointing directly down, but you don't want it so high that your hand is pointing in front of you. If you think of your body like a clock, you would want your upper arm tilted as if it's at the 12 position, and your lower arm tilted as if it's at the 5 position. That height is just right to hold a cane.
Point at yourself with your thumb.
The most efficient way to hold your cane is to have your thumb pointing towards your body, and the back of your hand facing away from it. This hand position will allow you to maintain the best balance.
Use stairs with handrails, if you can.
When using the stairs, make sure you place one hand on the rails (if they have them). Start by placing your sound leg on the first step, then put your cane on the same step next to your leg. Then, leaning on both the rail and the cane, pull your weak leg up the step.
It will take you some time to learn how to use a cane, but it's a skill anyone can master. Hopefully, these tips have helped you take the right steps towards greater mobility. If you're ready to start using a cane, see Valley Home Medical today!

Reference Tools, Compared

Reference tracks can be a valuable tool for keeping an objective viewpoint while mixing. When you listen to a reference track, you get a chance to reset your ears. If you've been listening to your mix for hours, your ears are getting used to the frequencies you're hearing. Problem areas or frequency imbalances may not jump out at you as easily as they might have if your ears were fresh. Using reference tracks helps you to hit reset on that process by exposing your ears to a sonic palate that is different than what you've been exposed to for hours. After listening to a reference track, you may notice that your own mix is lacking in the low end or in the punchiness of the drums. Resonances may jump out at you in your mix that weren't apparent before. Top mixers throughout the industry use reference tracks to keep them objective through their mixes.
The playback method matters little, as long as the reference is passing through your monitoring system. Some will simply leave iTunes open with a loaded playlist of the songs they use as reference tracks for certain genres. However, if you're using room or headphone calibration software you'll need to route your reference track through that software in order to get an accurate picture of what's happening. This can be complicated if you don't have a systemwide calibration system, meaning iTunes may not work for your reference needs.
If you use a calibration system, like ARC 2.5 or Sonarworks, you should play your reference tracks through your DAW to ensure the reference track is being represented accurately. Just import your reference track into your DAW, and play it soloed when you need to refresh your perspective. You'll need to ensure your reference track bypasses all plugins on your 2 bus, which means you'll need to consider how the reference track is being routed to the output. You'll also need to volume match the reference track to your mix manually, which takes time and can be tedious. Never mind the fact that it can take space on your screen as you dedicate a visible channel to holding a reference track. Sure, you can hide it, but if you're a visual thinker like myself you may forget it's there altogether if you do! For someone like me, out of sight means out of existence! Leaving it visible can bug me though. I don't want any channels on the screen that I don't need to focus on in the mix.
This is why several 3rd party utilities make sense for playing reference tracks in your DAW, at least until DAW developers begin creating stock utilities that match the function of the 3rd party options. Even though we can do this ourselves in our DAW, the use of a 3rd party utility is about simplifying our workflow. Time is money, and a faster workflow means a faster turnaround time on our mixes! So let's look at 3 of the popular reference track utilities on the market, compare their advantages and disadvantages, and see if we can help you make up your mind on which one is right for you.
Before we do though, a quick note on level matching when referencing. When listening to a reference track, it's vital that we match the perceived loudness of our mix to the reference track. If the reference is louder, we may think it sounds better because of the way our ears hear different frequencies at different volume levels. As we increase the volume of a source, our ears pick up on more low end and high end. As we decrease the volume, the low and high information is less prominent, while the upper mids tend to stick out more. This is happening with nothing more than a simple volume change, the frequency balance of the actual audio hasn't changed. So if we're referencing a mastered track at its full volume, but aren't turning down the mastered reference to match the perceived loudness of our mix, we're going to incorrectly perceive the lows and highs in the reference and might overshoot our target on our mix. If they're the same perceived volume, we can make a more accurate judgement call of how our mix is comparing sonically to the reference track.
The three plugins we'll be comparing today are:
MCompare from MeldaProduction
Magic A/B 2 from Sample Magic
REFERENCE from Mastering The Mix
As you'll see, even though each does the same basic task (playing and holding reference tracks in a plugin), they are actually quite different from one another in considerable ways! So let's dive in.
MCompare
Host up to 16 reference tracks.
Sync/Unsync reference tracks to the DAW transport.
Loop 1 section of the reference track you want to hear.
Match the loudness of the reference track to the loudness of your mix automatically.
HPF/LPF allows you to hone in on a problem area you wish to compare to the reference tracks, such as seeing how your bass response compares to that of your reference track.
Monitor the mid, side, difference, or full stereo image of you mix and the reference tracks.
Advanced metering and analysis tools
Usable as a comparison tool between plugin chains as well, making it a more versatile option. Plus, you can conduct blind tests between plugin chains.
Magic A|B 2
Host up to 9 reference tracks
Sync/Unsync reference tracks to the DAW transport
Set crossfades between A (your mix) and B (reference mix)
Create loops of sections of the reference tracks you want to hear
Set markers for different sections you wish to navigate to quickly
Peak, RMS, and Crest factor meters for both your mix and the selected reference track.
Monitor A (your mix) and B (reference mix) in mono or stereo
Mini A|B mode reduces the size of the GUI to the most important controls, allowing for fast comparison and minimal screen real-estate use.
Host up to 20 reference tracks
Loop multiple sections of the reference track you want to hear
Match the loudness of the reference track to the loudness of your mix automatically, which is done for you by default
Trinity Display allows for up to 5 crossover points that you can solo, allowing you to hone in on a problem area you wish to compare to the reference tracks, such as seeing how your bass response compares to that of your reference track.
Meter displays width of reference tracks compared to width of your mix
"Punch Dots" in Trinity Display show how your dynamic range compares to the reference track within the chosen frequency range
"Level Line" in each Trinity Display crossover section shows how your frequency content compares to that of the reference track
Peak and LUFS metering for your mix and the reference track
Loading Reference Tracks:
MeldaProduction Uses An Awkward File Directory System, Which I find isn't intuitive
MCompare uses an internal menu system, which can be kind of confusing. Once you wrap your head around it, it's easier to navigate to where you want to go, but I do consider this to be a weakness. If you want to load a reference track using the menu, you need to navigate through a proprietary window structure that isn't familiar until you find your reference track on your drive. As a mac user, I have my Reference Tracks saved in the favorites sidebar of the Finder. It's much easier to open a new finder window and click the Reference Tracks folder on the left, as I'm able to find the reference track I want to use in about 3 seconds. That said, it's easy enough to simply open a new Finder window and drag the reference track you want to use into MCompare without needing to use the internal navigation system. You just need to make sure you drop the reference track on the open "File" slot you want to use. So while the internal navigation isn't very usable for me when my ADHD is making things difficult, it's easy enough to get by without it thanks to being able to drag and drop.
Dragging In One Reference Track At A Time In Magic A|B 2
Magic A|B 2 opens the Mac finder window, allowing me quick access to my favorites. You can drag and drop your reference tracks into the 9 available slots, but the area where you drop them to load them is much smaller. This makes this feature far less intuitive to use, as if you're off a little you'll have to try again. But if you drag the file into the text box that says "Click to load audio file", Magic A|B 2 will load your reference track.
REFERENCE Features A Large Drop Zone For Loading Files Quickly
REFERENCE also opens the Mac finder window, allowing me quick access to my favorites. However, REFERENCE encourages you to simply drag and drop your reference tracks into the GUI to load them quickly. While you can only drag/drop one reference track at a time, REFERENCE will organize them automatically for you. You're left only focusing on dragging and dropping, meaning you can load your reference tracks much faster. You don't have to think about which open slot you're loading them into, as REFERENCE will populate this for you automatically.
Dragging In Multiple Reference Tracks At Once
Another plus for REFERENCE is the ability to load multiple reference tracks at once using the Finder window. If you click the + icon, it will allow you to select as many reference tracks as you'd like to load at once. MCompare and Magic A|B 2 limit you to loading one at a time in this manner, as you have to select which slot you're loading them into each time you load one. REFERENCE simply creates a new slot as needed, and lets you focus only on selecting the reference track you wish to use. Even though you can load up to 20 reference tracks, it does become impractical after a certain point. The tab that lists the name of the reference track gets smaller and smaller, and eventually won't be able to see the names anymore.
"Set" reduced the gain by -18.14db to match the volume of the mix
MCompare allows you to automatically match the level of the reference track to the level of your mix in one of two ways. You can either tap the "Set" button, which will match the level at the moment you tapped "Set", or you can turn on ALC (Automatic Loudness Compensation). I find the "Set" button to be hit or miss, but after a couple of attempts it'll be in the right ballpark. In my experience, the ALC button will ride the level of the reference track to match the level of your mix. This was a feature I avoided because I didn't like how it jumped around. It wasn't until writing this review, after two years using this product in my productions, that I learned you could adjust the measurement window of the ALC function. Doing this could make the reading more consistent at longer measurement times. In my opinion, this adjustment should be MUCH more obvious. Melda's plugins may have seemingly infinite features, but to go deep into what these features are requires a patience for reading and a time investment. The manual is huge, and huge manuals don't play well with my ADHD.
Magic A|B 2 does not level match automatically. This for me is a huge oversight, and is enough to make me not consider this tool over the other two options. You can level match by ear, so if you don't mind doing that, this may still have some value to you.
REFERENCE automatically level matches your reference tracks to your mix upon loading the reference track into the plugin. You don't have to turn it on, it just happens…which seems like such an obvious feature once you've used it! REFERENCE measures the LUFS value of your mix and matches the reference track to that value without you needing to think about it. You can also match the peak value, or manually adjust the gain between your mix and the reference track if you wish. But in my experience, the automatic LUFS matching has been spot on every single time.
Meters for Output, Width, LU, and Crest
MCompare allows you to monitor the input level, output level, the stereo width, the LU value, and the crest factor. You can also view a real time time-graph analyzer, featuring LU readings on the right side and dbfs readings on the left. This time graph can show you the peak value, stereo width, waveform display, LU measurement, and output crest factor.
For the complaints I do have with MCompare after doing this review, this is not one of them. MeldaProductions on board metering has never left me wanting, and I'd rather have too much info than not enough when I'm mixing and mastering. I was surprised to find this time graph contained much more detail than MMultiAnalyzer's time graph, which means I may just keep MCompare on my 2 bus for the metering when mastering!
Real time Time-Graph Display
Peak, Crest, And RMS Meters
Magic A|B 2 likewise offers you the ability to check the peak, rms, and crest values of the audio passing through it. It's meters are useful, but not nearly as detailed as MCompare. Still, by providing an RMS and peak and crest reading, you should be able to more accurately manually level match your reference mixes to your own mix. Also, unlike MCompare, the meters are on the main interface window! you don't have to hunt for them!
REFERENCE features an on board peak and LUFS meter for your mix and for the mix being referenced. You don't need to open a window to find it, but they are tiny. Still, they are color gradient meters that shift from blue to pink as the signal gets hotter. They read the max value at the top of the meter, so you can see it instantly. And REFERENCE has another metering area you won't find in the other two options. The Trinity Display.
REFERENCE'S Trinity Display
Ok, the Trinity Display is unique and really smart. Another area where REFERENCE shines above the other two options. By default, it's set to 3 bands. You can subtract to just one band, or add up to 5. The bands will show you how the stereo image of your mix compares to the reference track selected. The white lines in each band show whether or not your mix has more or less content in that area than the reference mix does. If your mix is showing a dip in the highs, then the reference track is brighter than your mix. If your mix is showing a boost in the lows, then your mix has more bass than the reference track.
Then we come to the punch dots, which compares the dynamic range of your mix in these bands to the dynamic range of the reference mix. If the punch dots are moving outward, away from the white level line, then your mix is more dynamic in that frequency range than the reference mix. If the punch dots are moving inward, toward the white level line, then your mix is less dynamic in that frequency range than the reference mix. If the punch dots aren't moving at all, the dynamic range values between mixes are identical.
Also, in the trinity display, you can solo a specific band and compare how your mix compares to the reference mix in targeted ranges. Just click the band in the trinity display! While REFERENCE doesn't show the same metering options as MCompare, the Trinity Display is truly unique in its simplicity and ability to understand in an instant what's happening. Plus, Mastering The Mix already have a metering utility called LEVELS that does match many of the same measurements found in MCompare.
Magic A|B 2:
1 Cup Of Coffee ☕
Magic A|B 2 is an ok choice, it does exactly what it claims to do. But if I'm being honest I'd almost rather just route the audio tracks from spare DAW channels than spend the money on this plugin. If it's what's available, use it. But if I have to manually adjust the loudness myself of each reference mix, I can do that by ear using a fader and a meter. That's how I'd have to do it in Magic A|B 2 anyway. In REAPER, I can put the reference tracks in a folder and keep them off to the side till I need them. It's not a convenient workflow for me, but that's how I did it for a long time before buying MCompare 2 years ago. If I want to loop sections of the reference track, I can do that in REAPER quite fast, so the looping abilities of these plugins isn't the real selling point for me. It's about being able to quickly load reference tracks and level match them without skipping a beat, and this one fails in that department. At $60 when it's not on sale, Magic A|B 2 lacks the workflow enhancing features that add value over the competition. Unless you catch a really big discount, save your money and put it toward one of the other two.
MCompare:
3 Cups Of Coffee ☕☕☕
MCompare is a great second choice of the 3, as the metering and analysis tools add to its versatility. Plus you can use it to compare the before/after impact of your various plugin chains, which has its own value. I don't think I'll be selling my copy of MCompare anytime soon. I've been using it for over 2 years now, and it hasn't let me down. Every few weeks, you'll catch it on sale for around $40, otherwise it's only $75 at full price. It's worth it at that price, but sales are awesome, so keep an eye out. If you don't mind the workflow and GUI of Melda's product line, this one won't steer you wrong.
5 Cups Of Coffee ☕☕☕☕☕
REFERENCE is hands down the winner for me. The workflow is extremely intuitive and designed for speed and ease of use. You can load as many reference tracks as you want. You're shown in very clear ways exactly what's happening in certain frequency ranges, and all of the information you need is on one small easy to read interface. The loudness matching is done automatically as soon as you load the reference track, that way you're never fooled by loudness even for a second. MCompare can't say that, as it takes a moment of analysis to make the adjustment only after you tell it to analyze the loudness. Since REFERENCE is $60, which is the same cost as Magic A|B 2 and is cheaper than MCompare, if I were given $80 and told to buy one of these 3 I'd choose REFERENCE without hesitation.

The most important reason for pre-arranging your funeral is to spare your family the many decisions that need to be made at an emotionally difficult time. During this stressful time, reason is often obscured by emotions that are uncontrollable. This can result in emotional overspending and other regretful decisions.
By pre-paying your services and merchandise, you are freezing the price of the funeral, protecting you from the rising costs. These funds are held under the laws and supervision of the State of Texas.
You often have special wishes concerning your funeral arrangements. What songs you want to be played or whether you want the casket open or closed are just a few or the many decisions that can be decided by you in advance and will give you peace of mind that all the decisions concerning your funeral are complete. The burden of making those final decisions will not be left to your family. You have already made them.

Backstory and Reflections: Live in Ireland 87 Project
March 3, 2017 on 5:14 pm by Michael Grey | In News, Photographs, Pipe Bands, Stories | Comments Off on Backstory and Reflections: Live in Ireland 87 Project
Writing a blog has to be the ultimate in vanity exercises, or "vanity projects", as is usually said when referring to almost anything a person undertakes that requires a healthy ego. We flatter ourselves imagining – or blindly assuming – that people are gagging to get a dose of our words and unsolicited opinion. I invite you (surely countless readers) to consider otherwise. But I do believe this to be true. A blogger rides the pud-puller that is the web log – the blog (come to think of it, Facebook musings are much the same).
It seems to me, too, that the blog can be that and something more. It can be this and that: in my words here, I try to also use this self-made forum as a record of stuff that happens to and around me. I guess you'd call that a diary. Yeah, that's it; a diary. I'm not as a faithful a diarist as I'd like but when I look back on the last ten years of my dunaber blog I'm reminded of people, events and opinions changed and retained. So, in looking back, I'm happy I kept a little record of one part of my life.
With this in mind I want to provide a little context and reflect briefly on the "Live in Ireland 87" project, so in future years I'll recollect and today you'll know a little of the background of the thing.
My old friend J Reid Maxwell and I we're judging, September 2013, at Canmore Games in Alberta, Canada. In between bands – or maybe after, can't recall – Reid spoke of an Eagles concert he'd recently seen on Netflix and in that, the thought was triggered: wouldn't it be great to play that 1987 "Live in Ireland" recording again: reprised and live – a sort of tribute band thing, a celebration of the music. I thought it a great idea and started reflecting on how it might happen.
The 1987 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band was not a large group by today's standards. Not only that, a lot of the players from the day were either not actively playing or had moved on. In fact, almost all of the 87 mid-section had passed away (three of four people).
What had to be navigated were two main things: a respectful recognition that any performance could not be presented as the 78th Fraser Highlanders. The band is, of course, still one of the top bands in the world. This effort was not about the band but the music of that time. And membership: from the beginning this was not a reunion. We needed a top flight group who could deliver a performance with minimal rehearsal.
We addressed the first by using an admittedly somewhat clumsy "Live in Ireland 87" title. The second, we looked to active members of the 1987 band [those on the bubble/not active and interested were invited to send along a sample of their current playing to Bill Livingstone for assessment – the tune requested was the band's setting of "Charlie's Welcome"]. We augmented the 87 crowd with sharp shooters: players we knew could do the business and were "good guys" – written in a non-gender specific way, by the way. It was by chance that a lot of the folks ending up being grade one Pipe Majors and Leading Drummers. Formal band leadership was not prerequisite, as you can see from the rosters of both Glasgow and Belfast editions.
To be clear, the management of the project landed in my lap, but a lot of people helped a great deal – to make an understatement. Decisions were mostly made by the core group – especially in the Glasgow case (Bill Livingstone, Reid Maxwell, Malkie Bow, Bruce Gandy and me) – but not always. Sometimes I went for it. You know the old line: easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
In the end it was the selection of members that caused the most consternation, upset and evidently some bitterness.
The human part aside, the project had no capital to move forward. In the fall of 2014 I approached Donald Shaw, Artistic Director of Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival and pitched the idea of a show. He loved the idea and wanted to have it for the 2015 festival. With only a few months to prepare it was a no-go. It was agreed that the January 2016 would be best.
With some capital assured in the modest CC fee, a funded venue and built-in promotion we were good to go.
Invitations were sent to prospective members and, as Peter Aumonier might say, to the person, each was all over the idea like chrome to a trailer hitch.
So by our standards, "Live in Ireland 87 in Scotland" was a massive success. And that was that, until the Northern Ireland branch of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association approached me in July 2016 with the idea of staging the thing in Belfast. I was hesitant – as were, I know, some members of the Glasgow cast. My concerns were related to overkill of the idea, a watering down of what was monumentally special and unique about the Glasgow show and, to be honest, getting in the face of the current 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band.

As regards the last point, both Bill Livingstone and I talked at different times to Pipe Major Doug MacRae of the 78th. He was cool with the idea (not to the idea). In fact, he proved to be a stand-up and stand-out cast member of the Belfast show.
So after a little hemming and hawing we worked with the RSPBANI to make last Saturday's Belfast show happen.
The Belfast experience, like Glasgow's the year before, drew on the guiding template of the 87 show but like any orchestra performing a score of a great piece of music, no "re-enactment" – a word derisively bandied about by those unsupportive of this effort. In Belfast, as in Glasgow, musicians, instruments and musical interpretations were all different – for the better, thankfully. Mention must be made of the addition to the cast of Susan Elizabeth Brown, one of Canada's leading sopranos. We'll never forget her ear-catching warm-up exercises – and her magnificent vocal performances.
Yes, many of us used up precious work leave and vacation days to journey to Northern Ireland; it was a money-loser for every single member. There was no fee. Four days shared accommodation was provided as was a travel stipend. Every cast member did it for the love of the music and the idea of creating something special by coming together as a group.
And what a show. What a blow-out fantastic multi-dimensional experience of melody, harmony and rhythm. And hospitality! The RSPBANI folks, including – it needs to be said – project manager, Ian "Shaggy" Burrows and his soaring energy and that shiny penny, stage manager and PR Queen, Meaghan Lyons – all acted as role model professionals – and hosts.
I hope in this initiative others may be swayed to create their own projects that delight and inspire. I am.
Thank you Northern Ireland and thank you to all our supporters.
Now time now to put this baby to sleep.

Extreme mountain biking is gaining popularity recently, although similar to mountain biking since it is using, of course, a mountain bike it is a completely new adventure sport. The Right attitude towards this sport and a fit body can help you master this sport with ease.
So only those people who are both physically and mentally fit are qualified for Extreme Mountain biking. Sad to say that if you have chronic illnesses like bronchial asthma, high blood pressure, as well as other kinds of health problems, should restrain their extreme mountain biking desire and begin to forget about this.
Otherwise, if you are very eager to try this extreme sport go see your doctor and see what he can do. But chances of getting approval from him is very low. The intense nature of the activity causes it to be essential for the bikers to be in excellent physical condition.
Though the person who has no medical condition must go through extensive training as well as undertake appropriate exercise along with right diet to help him build up the required strength and stamina before they could join this extreme sport.
The reason behind all these requirements is that in mountain biking alone you need to be physically fit to enjoy it, what more is the extreme version of it. Basically, Extreme mountain biking is mountain biking put into another level.
In this mountain biking version the riders are put through much more difficult terrains: Steeper slopes, more rocky gardens, stream crossing, muddy trails, technical tracks, high drops, sharper curves, or longer rides; and of course you have to conquer them all with speed since this is a race.
With all those obstacles in the race track the risk of hurting yourself in mountain biking is more than doubled, so another requirement is the protective gear. The same equipment to wear is required however a few additions are made, due to the danger involved.
It needs bikers to wear certain essential gears and the most important one is the helmet, it is a must for the rider to wear a strong helmet since it is the only protection for the head in case of a crash even the very experienced extreme mountain bikers never ride without wearing it. It is also recommended to use full-faced helmets instead of wearing your ordinary Cross-country mountain biking helmet this will protect not only your skull but also your face, your jaw and your neck from breaking.
The clothes used are specially made to give additional comfort and ease to the participant and on top of that, they use protective gears like shoulder guard, knee guard, shin pads, leg guard, elbow pads or even chest protector to minimize the injury in case of a fall.
Another important gear is the MTB gloves; this will give you better grip and enhance your mountain bike maneuvering skills and of course this will protect your skin when you crash or fall.
You can't just wear your running shoes here; you must wear a mountain biking shoes to improve power and decrease the chance of your foot sliding off the pedal.
About the mountain bike you need here, it should not be the typical XC (cross-country) mountain bike. You must use a bike especially for this type of mountain biking, and these mountain bikes are surely pricey which means you need to be prepared to invest an extra amount, unless of course if you don't mind riding a second-hand bike, but I would not suggest that.
Most of the experienced players of this sport buy their mountain bikes by parts and assemble them themselves; they based the MTB components from the terrain and the kind of extreme mountain biking they are in.
Bikes for this types of mountain biking are tough and typically has dual suspensions (with front and rear suspensions – opposite of hardtail).
The most popular among all Extreme Mountain Biking, from the word itself – this only requires racers to go down the hill as fast as they can. This kind of mountain biking is very extreme, giving riders the opportunity for maximum excitement and pleasure.
This revolves around getting the best line down the hill making use of all the land surfaces to express your self. This race is also popular, as this is a great way to show off your extreme mountain biking skills through the routes you take all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
A race mostly time trial held in the streets, riders should ride through ledges, or any other kinds of man-made obstacles. These obstacles will force the riders to do tricks, like grinds, drop, leap and stalls.
Probably the most extreme of all, this requires riders to jump the bike above huge human-made dirt jumps, while on the air they have to do tricks. Normally the jumps are near each other for participants to go over 5 or even more leaps in a single run. Some space to get a momentum, to make them faster for higher jumps.
Trial riders will ride and hop their mountain bikes through man-made obstacles that involve a serious level of balancing and focus.
Despite the fact that, extreme mountain biking is a really intense and risky sport, this could be remarkably entertaining, not to mention a great sort of workout for the entire body.

A few years ago I attended an indoor track meet that took place in a newly built warehouse. This warehouse did not have any indoor plumbing so the meet coordinators brought in outhouses for the athletes to use. The problem was that they did not have enough outhouses, and consequently, the outhouse lines were ridiculously long. Your goal is to develop a simulation to help gauge the proper number of outhouses needed for various events.
Arrival Rate - This value represents the likelihood of a group arriving for the outhouses in a given minute of the simulation expressed as a percentage. If the Arrival Rate was 25%, for instance, this means that there is a 25% likelihood that a group will arrive to use an outhouse in a given minute of the simulation.
Avg Group Size - This value represents the average group size that arrives at the outhouse together in a minute run of the simulation. The program randomly select a number from 1 through the (average group size)*2-1 to add to the queue when a group arrives. If the average group size is 2, for instance, the program randomly add 1 through 3 people to the queue.
Avg Process Time - This value represents the average amount of time, expressed in minutes, that a person occupies an outhouse. The program randomly selects a number from 1 through the (average process time)*2-1 for the average process time.
Number of Outhouses - This value represents the number of outhouses to use in the simulation.
Throughput - The total number of people who used the outhouse (entered AND left).
Avg Wait - The average wait time for the people who used the outhouse (entered AND left).
Line Size - The current size of the line to use the outhouse.
Current Time - The current minute time of the simulation.
In order to make this simulation visual, I am going to provide you with a GUI application to integrate your code into.

We will be discussing Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder.
New York Times bestseller: "THE BOOK THAT EXPLAINS WHY RUSSIANS WANTED TO MEET WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN" according to Barnes & Noble.
This is a story about an accidental activist. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune. Along the way he exposed corruption, and when he did, he barely escaped with his life. His Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky wasn't so lucky: he ended up in jail, where he was tortured to death. That changed Browder forever. He saw the murderous heart of the Putin regime and has spent the last half decade on a campaign to expose it. Because of that, he became Putin's number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States—The Magnitsky Act—that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer's murder. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans.


It may seem surprising, but it's true: more people are renting than at any other point in the past 50 years. However, many people still seem to have misconceptions about the apartment rental process that can deter them from exploring their luxurious living options. With that in mind, here are just a few myths about renting you should kick to the curb today.
Tenants can get evicted at any time and without notice.
This is perhaps the biggest misconception people have about the apartment rental process. While landlords and property managers do have certain rights, rental laws are typically skewed to be in favor of the tenant. You'll never come home to find that the locks have been changed; your landlord has to give you significant notice if they plan on evicting you. Furthermore, they need to have sufficient and specific evidence, presented in writing. It's a lengthy process that's very unlikely to occur to any responsible tenant.
It's hard to find an apartment that allows pets.
There are over 75 million pet dogs in the U.S. — more than in any other country. And many pet owners seem to think that they can't bring their furry friends along if they're looking for a studio or one bedroom apartment. But that isn't necessarily the case. In fact, there are a growing number of apartment communities that are welcoming tenants with multiple pets. However, there may be an additional deposit or monthly fee, and the complex may have rules about breed restrictions.
A landlord can enter a tenant's apartment at any time and without notice.
Finally, this myth is 100% untrue. While a landlord may have various reasons to enter your apartment, they can't do so without giving you notice or otherwise getting your approval.
"A landlord may need to enter your unit for a variety of reasons — to show your unit to prospective tenants, to check the fire alarms, or simply to do routine maintenance. But legally, a landlord can't enter your apartment whenever he wants. He must provide you with sufficient warning, generally 24 hours. There are some exceptions, of course: If there's an emergency — like fire or a severe water leak — landlords can enter without notice," writes Jenny Lelwica Buttaccio on Realtor.com.
It's best to know the truth behind these myths before deciding whether renting a studio or one bedroom apartment is the right decision for you.
The average American moves about 12 times in their lifetime, and renting an apartment is still an efficient way to ensure a comfortable living space without the maintenance that comes with property ownership. Currently, millennials are the most likely of all age groups to rent. In 2016, 65% of households headed by young adults were renting. But regardless of your age or apartment rental experience, it's important to be aware of some common mistakes that could cost you time, money, and frustration during the moving process. Here are just a few mistakes to avoid if you're looking at rental properties.
Signing a lease without seeing the property.
Renting sight unseen is a mistake that most renters know better than to make, but it does happen. Don't let any property manager convince you that the unit matches the pictures — it's always ideal to see for yourself. Failing to do so can cause for some disappointing realizations and unmet expectations when your move-in date arrives.
Not taking pictures of the property before you move in.
Even if your apartment seems to be in pretty good shape when you move in, it's always best to gather photographic evidence that proves the specific condition of the unit prior to moving your belongings in. This has to do with your security deposit, which is typically equal to at least one month's rent.
"Not documenting pre-existing damage is akin to offering your security deposit to the landlord. Be sure to photograph any defects such as carpet stains, broken tiles or windows, and scratches on appliances or walls so you don't end up liable for pre-existing damage when it's time to move out. Be sure to note these damages to your landlord as well, so they can keep it in their records," writes Anita Ginsburg on Rent.com.
Underestimating the size space that you need to live comfortably.
According to Forbes, studios and one-bedroom apartments now comprise 54.4% of the apartment rental market due to millennial demand. That being said, it's helpful to take that extra step to ensure that the size space you're looking for will be large enough for you to feel comfortable instead of cramped.
Ultimately, it's not always easy to navigate the process that comes with touring rental properties, but avoiding these mistakes can help you ensure a satisfactory experience. For more information about the best studio apartments Burlington Vermont can provide, contact Bartlett Brook Apartments.
As the sixth smallest state in the U.S. with the second smallest population, Vermont may seem like just a speck on the map. This little state packs a big punch with its well-renowned cities and residents who will tell anyone willing to listen that Vermont is America's hidden gem. With a population of about 42,556 people and a median resident age of 26, Burlington is Vermont's largest city and premiere spot for young professionals to settle. While you search rental properties for the top two bedroom apartments, be sure to build a strong list of things to do once you're there.
With its lower population, Vermont has abundant farmland, making its local restaurants, breweries, and chocolateries popular attractions. Burlington is home to the Magic Hat Brewing Company, a Victorian-Gothic, circus-themed brewery that offers free tours and a stocked bar with complimentary tastings. During factory hours you can wander on your own in a self-guided tour, or you can take a guided informative tour that will educate you in all things Magic Hat.
Burlington's farmer's market is held year-round (in indoor or outdoor locations according to the season) and hosts an incredible selection of local vegetables, meats, cheeses, and more. The market is located just off the central Church Street Marketplace, a popular Burlington destination with over 100 shops, restaurants, and street vendors. If you're looking for a sweeter experience, Lake Champlain Chocolates offers through-the-window tours of their factory during the week and free chocolate tastings on the weekend.
Considered one of the more rural areas in the United States, Vermont has many trails, waterways, and mountains to explore. Right in Burlington's center is Waterfront, a neighborhood featuring a beautiful park and, as the name suggests, a perfect spot on the waterfront of Lake Champlain. You can spend the afternoon riding on Waterfront Park's scenic bike path or catch the sunset on the lake's shore.
As a small trip to get everyone out of their two bedroom apartments, go southeast to the Green Mountain Audubon Center. This area is perfect for nature lovers with five miles of nature trails and 255 acres filled with various wildlife. If you are more comfortable on the water, you can look into Paddlesurf Champlain and the Lake Champlain Ferries for more nautical adventures.
Burlington is a historic city, cultivating its visual arts and live performances over many decades. The Shelburne Museum has a great collection of artifacts, such as quilts and American Art that are on display from homes in the 1950s, as well as pieces from French impressionists Monet and Degas. The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts houses many kinds of performances that fit everyone's fancy, including ballets, mariachi bands, and more.
These days, many cities are overcrowded, with messy public transportation and very little green space. Burlington is different. It is still a city, with endless spots to explore and things to experience, but it is surrounded by and filled with nature. Burlington is the perfect spot for all looking to settle in two bedroom apartments, but also for those looking to explore everything around them.
If you've made the decision to look for apartments for rent in Burlington Vermont, you've already moved one step toward a peaceful and comfortable living situation. But there's more to moving than simply deciding on a city; there's also the inevitable choice of a one bedroom apartment, a two bedroom apartment, or even a studio apartment. While there are plenty of pros and cons that come with each, we've made it easy for you with our simple guide. Here are just a few pros and cons to keep in mind when deciding between studio and one bedroom apartments.
Studio apartments are ideal for those who may not need as much living space and are looking to lower their monthly rent payments. The smaller space can be regarded as either an advantage or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it: on one hand, you can't fit as much furniture, but on the other hand, you don't necessarily need to in order to achieve the 'completely furnished' look. When all is said and done, a studio apartment provides the private space any rental unit should without requiring the rental costs of a one or two bedroom rental.
For renters who have acquired some more belongings and aren't necessarily 'starting fresh,' a one bedroom unit may be better suited. The main difference between a studio and a one bedroom apartment is that a one bedroom rental unit has an entirely separate bedroom. If you're the type of renter who likes to entertain, has more belongings, or needs the extra space for other creative activities, a one bedroom apartment is probably ideal. Just keep in mind that the rent costs may be a bit higher, depending on the area.
According to Forbes, studios and one-bedroom apartments now comprise 54.4% of the apartment rental market due to millennial demand. But if you're having trouble deciding between these two apartments types, we can help you make a decision you'll be happy with. We can sit down and discuss your needs, your budget, and what type of living situation is best for you. We're also more than happy to accommodate your furry friends with our pet friendly apartments!

More people are renting than at any other point in the past 50 years. There are a number of reasons for this, and one of the biggest reasons is that many apartments simply offer a higher level of convenience and luxury than some homes. Before you decide whether renting an apartment or buying a home is the right decision for you, it's important to understand the countless advantages that renting has to offer. Here are just a couple reasons why renting may be a better option than buying.
Apartment complexes are responsible for maintenance.
This is, by far, one of the greatest advantages of renting, as most renters would agree. While the average homeowner has countless maintenance tasks to stay on top of throughout the year (lawn mowing, raking, snow shoveling, painting, home repairs, etc..), those who rent apartments can simply sit back and relax, knowing that these time-consuming and physically demanding jobs are taken care of, oftentimes before they even wake up each morning. What's more, if anything breaks in your apartment, (like your oven, garbage disposal, or toilet), your apartment's maintenance crew will take care of the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible without you having to lift a finger or pay a dime.
There's less of a financial demand.
The second reason many people prefer renting an apartment as opposed to owning a home is that there's not as much of a financial burden. Buying a home is, more often than not, a long and overly complicated process. It can take months or even years to save up for the funds necessary to finally get the deed. Renting, on the other hand, just requires a deposit, which is typically equivalent to one month's rent. Renting is a much more financially reasonable and attainable option, especially considering all the cost savings associated with renting versus owning.
Millennials are the most likely of all age groups to rent. In 2016, 65% of households headed by young adults were renting. Regardless of your age, there are apartments for rent that offer services and amenities that far exceed what ownership has to offer. If you'd like to tour rental properties and find your next carefree dream home, contact Bartlett Brook Apartments.

Q: jQuery Date Picker not working on Chrome I've a jQuery UI Calendar as below and it works on IE only not on Chrome:
<input type="image" src="/images/caleder.jpg" id="btnCalendar" />

If I change type="text" it seems to work. Could someone please help me with how to resolve the above issue. I can't use type="text" as I need to show the image.
Thanks.

A: You can use a handler:

Hope this works! :)

A: I have a sample problem with date picker.
I used date picker and it worked fine in Firefox and IE but not in chrome. I can see the calender when I click the input field. I selected the date but the date values are not entering in input field.
I don't have option so I changed type='text' then it works in chrome..

A: I had the same problem. And I thought why input could work, but button could not. The trick is that input gets focus when clicked, button doesn't. Try this:
$(function () {
    $("#btnPeriodCal").datepicker().click(function () { $(this).focus(); });
});

A: Unless I am wrong only div tags, span tags, etc.. can be date pickers.

A: Use it as -

Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker">

$(function() {
    $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker({
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "images/calendar.gif",
        buttonImageOnly: true
    });
});

Check it in action - http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/#icon-trigger
And don't forget to include these files in  tag
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

and this is the javascript used to fix the problem:
$(function() {
    $("#date_of_birth_date").datepicker({
        maxDate: '+0', changeYear: true, yearRange: "-70:+0"
    });
});

remember to remove all the previous libraries etc

FOOTWEAR INSIGHT INDEX
With the second quarter closing next week, ominous signs remain for the U.S. economy in this persistent pandemic environment as the number of active U.S. cases rose for a 10th straight day on June 22 to 1.26 million and 23 states reported increases in the number of cases. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the U.S. economy will generate $8 trillion less in economic activity over the next decade than it predicted months ago. And a report in The Atlantic suggests four factors — a great business die-off, the household fiscal cliff, state and local budget shortfalls and the persistent pandemic crisis — put the U.S. risk for a depression. Amid this backdrop, the Dow generated nearly 59 percent of its weekly 261.80-point gain for the week on the period's final day, June 22. The action helped the Dow post a 1.02 percent increase for the period, about even with the Segment's 1.06 percent increase as 12 stocks rose and eight declined. Aside from Mizuno, which benefited from currency effects, Nike and Deckers were the period's biggest gainers. The Swoosh received four stock price target hikes from investment banks ahead of its scheduled fourth-quarter earnings report on June 25. Meanwhile, Nike and Puma are merging running technology and style into styles for the golf course, including The Cat's RS-G and The Swoosh's Air Max 270. Shoe Carnival reported that its 389 re-opened U.S. and Puerto Rico stores experienced a 28.1 percent rise in second quarter comparable store sales through June 22, with brick-and-mortar up 4.0 percent and e-commerce gaining nearly 470 percent year-over-year. Under Armour Founder Kevin Plank has sold his Washington, D.C. mansion for $17.3 million after a reported two years on the market at a 41 percent discount from his 2018 asking price of $29.5 million. — Bob McGee

A special area of conservation (SAC) is defined in the European Union's Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), also known as the Directive on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora. They are to protect the 220 habitats and approximately 1,000 species listed in annex I and II of the directive which are considered to be of European interest following criteria given in the directive. They must be chosen from the sites of Community importance by the member states and designated SAC by an act assuring the conservation measures of the natural habitat.

SACs complement special protection areas and together form a network of protected sites across the European Union called Natura 2000.  This, in turn, is part of the Emerald network of Areas of Special Conservation Interest (ASCIs) under the Berne Convention.

Assessment methodology in the United Kingdom
Prior to being designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), sites have been assessed under a two-stage process set out by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. The value of the proposed site is considered in relation to the whole national resource of each habitat type and of each species.

Stage one

Firstly, assessment of the relative importance of sites containing examples of the individual habitat types. Four criteria are used:
 the degree of representativity;
 the area;
 the degree of conservation of habitat structure and functions;
 restoration possibilities and a global assessment of conservation value (i.e. an overall assessment).

Secondly, species assessment evaluates population size and density, the degree of conservation of the features of the habitat that are important for the species and restoration possibilities, the degree of isolation of the population in relation to the species' natural range and a global assessment of conservation value.

Stage two

This stage is often informally referred to as 'moderation'. The criteria used in Stage 2 are intended to be used to assess the sites at the level of the nine biogeographical regions and the EU as a whole. The Stage 2 criteria may be summarised as:
relative value of the site at national level;
relationship of the site to migration routes or its role as part of an ecosystem on both sides of one or more Community frontiers;
total area of the site;
number of habitat types and species present;
global ecological value of the site at the level of the biogeographical region and/or EU as a whole.
