Do you really know your customers and your target audience inside out? If so – do you understand your audience in each country? Identifying who your content is targeting is the very first step you need to take before planning your content campaign - but it doesn't end there. Your marketing activity needs to be approachable, personalised, culturally sensitive and original all at the same time. It's therefore likely your tone of voice will change according to which platform and which language you use.
Localisation means you have to take into account aspects such as sense of humour, tone of voice, idioms, cultural references and of course grammar.
Translation tends to ignore all of these aspects and focuses on the literal meaning of words without context. It is recommended to use a native speaker at least for their final approval before publishing any translated content.
Therefore, it makes sense to say goodbye to Google Translate and start thinking about how you can create great content for everyone in every language.
One size fits all, or does it? It might seem tempting to create great content in English before simply translating it into different languages, but there are many reasons why the easy way is not always the best option. While a blog post idea about the latest fashion trends might work brilliantly within one region, another market might not show the slightest interest, as the trend might already be over or have not yet arrived. Timing is crucial for your marketing success and you shouldn't assume that every region has the same timescales.
Consulting local experts can help you find out more about the right timing. They can advise on topics that work and ones that should be avoided – after all researching a country's interests is not quite the same as living there. Once you've gained an overview of what's needed, you can start thinking about how you would like to represent your brand through your content. As a business, you want your brand to be unique, approachable and have "a face". This task becomes even harder once you expand to other countries, as you need your brand to be recognisable across borders.
Words with various meanings. Think about a word such as "run". This word has 645 different definitions in English so it's impossible to know what it refers to without looking at the wider context. Other languages have more than one word for these meanings, so translators will need to know exactly what it is you're trying to say.
Word play and jokes. Humour is famously one of the biggest challenges of translation work. Not only is being funny a challenge in itself – once you translate your joke, the meaning might be lost and all you are left with is a confusing or potentially even offensive sentence. Similarly, translating a play on words won't work in most cases – the word structure, the meaning of words and the pronunciation is likely to be completely different in other languages. These issues need to be considered when building an English source text.
One of the worst translation offences might be the literal translation of idioms. Reading "I believe my pig whistles*" won't mean anything to anyone who doesn't speak German. Similarly, a non-English speaker might be more than confused when you ask them to address "the elephant in the room".
Many languages use different grammatical indications of formality – such as the "vous" vs. "tu" in French. Both of these mean "you" in English, so you need to know whether you want to be formal or informal in your approach.
A good indicator for the right tone of voice is to know the average age of your audience as well as knowing where your content will be published. A formal approach would seem out of place on social media platforms but more appropriate in ads or on your website when addressing customers.
To work with external influencers, such as bloggers, journalists and webmasters in different languages is not an easy task. Journalists tend to prefer receiving short, to the point, newsworthy emails, while bloggers tend to be less formal.
Each territory will have certain unwritten rules on what to include and what not to include in external communications. In English for instance, you'd address a journalist by their first name and might end the email with an informal "Thank you". In German, it would seem rude to call anyone you don't know in person by their first name – even co-workers usually call each other by their last names using the formal "Sie" (you). It's a similar situation in other European countries such as France and Italy, where the PR work tends to be more formal than in the UK.
Being culturally insensitive could have negative huge impact on how the public sees your brand and therefore needs extra care. Even worldwide-established companies such as Coca Cola or Pepsi, who generally do a brilliant job at localising their campaigns, lapse occasionally.
The Coca-Cola "Share a Coke" campaign was hugely successful and launched in Australia. From there it started to spread around the US, UK, China and Europe. But they wouldn't have been nearly as successful using the same English names on their bottles in China and Spain. Instead, they localised their cans to display the most commonly given names in each country, which proves their local expertise once more.
Coca-Cola quite famously failed to translate their brand name into Chinese correctly and instead ended up creating a name that read, "bite the wax tadpole". The error was fixed shortly after and they created a new name that roughly translates as "happiness in the mouth".
In response to Coca Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign, Pepsi developed their own emoji cans, no words needed. This seemed to be the easy way out of having to translate or localise text for their markets worldwide, but Pepsi knew better: They even created different, culturally appropriate emojis for their territories, which guaranteed success.
A mistake that several global brands have made in the past is choosing the wrong colour in the wrong region. Your colour associations might not be the same as the ones in other parts of the world Pepsi is a famous example for making the mistake of not doing their colour research properly: when changing the look of vending machines in Southeast Asia from a dark blue to a light blue, they created a big outcry, as this shade is commonly associated with death.
Having high quality content and a professional approach in your communications reflect the integrity of your business. Major language flaws, a lack of research and culturally insensitive campaigns can – and have shown to in the past – end in damaging your brand. Having a local expert team, doing your homework and keeping up with the local news is therefore essential.

4.1 A Life in the Day
The Doctor and Liv return to post-World War One London, where the Doctor meets Kitty Donaldson (Beth Chalmers), and Liv strikes a friendship with her brother Martin (Barnaby Kay). But what mysterious force is hunting them?
4.2 The Monster of Montmartre
The Doctor and Liv's investigations bring them to Paris, where a monster stalks the streets.
4.3 Master of the Daleks
The Master and the Dalek Time Controller have forged an alliance. History hangs in the balance, and this time the Doctor can't help…
4.4 Eye of Darkness
It's the endgame. Truths will be revealed, and a hero will make the ultimate sacrifice.
After the conclusion of the Eighth Doctor Adventures and the shift to box sets in the Dark Eyes series, Big Finish struggled to establish consistency, either tonally or thematically. While certain individual parts of the various Dark Eyes sets were excellent, the wholes never followed suit, relying on grimness and technobabble in lieu of character and drama. Finally, with the release of "Dark Eyes 4," the final set from writers John Dorney and Matt Fitton, they find that elusive consistency – and as a result it's easily the best set of the four.
"Dark Eyes 4" is split into four episodes, but there are really only 2.5 stories presented. The first episode, Dorney's "A Life in the Day," is essentially standalone, and it's easily the best episode of any Dark Eyes release. Aiming to check up on Molly, the Doctor and Liv journey to post-war London but quickly find themselves pursued by killer androids. This is the plot, but the focus of the story is on their relationship with Martin Donaldson (Barnaby Kay), a local man slowly revealed to be trapped in a time loop. Dorney structures this perfectly: there are plenty of hints about his status, some of them even obvious in retrospect, but the revelation still comes as a surprise because he never beats the listener over the head. It's also fascinating because this is one of (if not the) first times in Doctor Who that we've seen a time loop from the outside instead of seeing the Doctor and companions living through it. Furthermore, Dorney doesn't ignore the emotional ramifications of the time loop: Martin falls in love with Liv, as he spends every day with her and varies his activities so every day presents a new date. It's believable, it's very human, and it's heartbreaking, especially when the Doctor struggles to explain to Liv why Martin shouldn't be saved. There's nothing revolutionary about "A Life in the Day;" it's just a smart, emotionally honest story with believable characters.
The first half of the next story, Fitton's "The Monster of Montmartre," is largely standalone as well, as the Doctor and Liv travel to Paris to search for the missing TARDIS and become embroiled in the Parisian criminal underground. This is a solid if unremarkable story that builds a nice sense of mystery, but it comes to a rapid halt when it crashes headlong into the arc plot. The Dalek Time Controller is back, you see, but now he is infected with retrogenitor particles and is using the Doctor's stolen TARDIS to construct a giant Dalek in the middle of Paris. This sounds awesome, but unfortunately we never get to hear the multi-story monstrosity wreaking havoc. Instead, we get a shocking revelation that really isn't shocking at all: the Dalek Time Controller is working with the Master!
This leads to Dorney's third episode, with one of the greatest titles of all time: "Master of the Daleks." Here, we journey into an alternate history in which the Master has taken over the Earth and is using the enslaved population to construct a massive war fleet with which he intends to conquer the universe. While it's true that this time he is in an uneasy alliance with the Daleks, I'm forced to wonder if Dorney listened to "Dark Eyes 3," in which almost the exact same thing happens. This version of the story is much better than its predecessor – the Master actually seems like a dangerous adversary, there's a lot of good interaction between the major characters, and even the Doctor's amnesia isn't too irritating – but we really need to get away from "the Master builds an army to conquer the universe" stories, because that's literally all he does anymore. Best of all, though, is the use of the Sontarans – I usually don't go for overly fannish "what if x met y" stuff, but the Dalek-Sontaran battle is exactly as fantastic as you'd expect, and possibly even more so.
The final episode, Fitton's "Eye of Darkness," serves as the epic finale to the entire Dark Eyes series, and the Master is abruptly written out at the end of "Master of the Daleks" to clear the decks for the final confrontation between the Doctor and the Time Controller. Molly is reintroduced in the third episode, and (I'm guessing) due to scheduling conflicts the role is recast, with Sorcha Cusack playing an older version of the character. I've seen mixed reviews of Cusack's performance but I found it nearly flawless and difficult to differentiate from Ruth Bradley. Anyway, as the focal point of the story – indeed, the subject of the title – Molly is also the one to resolve it, finally defeating both the Time Controller and the Eminence (yes) at the same time. These final scenes are very well done, giving Molly an appropriate departure that manages to be emotional without being depressing, even if the Eighth Doctor's horrific luck with companions continues. Liv had better watch out in "Doom Coalition."
There's a lot to like about "Dark Eyes 4," and Paul McGann is one of the best parts of the package. The tone is still dark, but it's balanced by occasional moments of fun, and McGann sounds like he's recaptured his enthusiasm for the part. Nicola Walker is fantastic as ever – I love how her quiet, sardonic nature balances out the Doctor's natural exuberance, and how she's such a good companion despite not fitting into the generic job description. This might be Alex Macqueen's best performance yet as the Master – his false incredulity at the suggestion that the Daleks will betray him is absolutely hilarious. The supporting cast also includes fine performances from Rachael Stirling and Susannah Harker, and it goes without saying by now that Nicholas Briggs and Dan Starkey are fantastic as the Daleks and the Sontarans, respectively.
The production also reaches a high standard, with director Ken Bentley expertly handling the disparate elements of the script and Howard Carter's sound design and epic, orchestral score helping to convey the emotions of the story. Overall, "Dark Eyes 4" is easily the best installment in the series, and a great way to go out. While it still gets bogged down in occasional technobabble, the scripts from Dorney and Fitton create enough interesting, compelling characters to overcome any problems. If the whole series had been like this, we'd be praising it as one of Big Finish's best; instead, we can only hope that this bodes well for the upcoming "Doom Coalition."

PS5 Exclusive No Longer in PSN Catalog
It's been an incredible week at E3 2019, with over 40 games being announced, and the PS5 and Xbox Scorpio reveal in the show floor. But while I was at the show you may have noticed a strange new thing: a PS5 exclusive is no longer in PSN catalog.
Yes, there is no PS5 exclusive in the PSN catalog (like on Xbox One and PC), and it is a mystery as to why. But what is the secret? A "non-exclusive" is an exclusivity that is not tied to a "standard" release. This is the same in Nintendo's catalog, but if you are familiar with it, and have seen it used before, you may have forgotten. The most common example is Splatoon 2, which does not appear on the Wii U, and PS1 or PS2, although it also was not tied to a standard release. On the other hand, if it is tied to a standard release, then it is not exclusive, although it is a standard release. Splatoon 2, which is tied to Splatoon, and is only available in limited numbers (300 in the original version and 300 in the new one), is not an example of this in that it is an exclusive.
This is no longer the case with Xbox One, though. Here, it is no longer exclusive. Why? Well, for Microsoft, this is a huge marketing opportunity. It is not exactly a very exciting game, but it is a great sales ticket. There are 2. 5 million Xbox One players, and one of them is not a typical Xbox One owner. It is in a special promotion for a very limited time, and they have the opportunity to play it for 1/10th of the face value.
And it is not just limited to Xbox One. While Xbox One is the "old school" console, it is also the console I have come to know the most about over the years.

A New Game :
| Computer Games.
Welcome to the newest part of the blog on computer games. This post has been up for a few days and I feel it may have some information that you all are interested in. We are going to see more of this new series and keep seeing more of this new series, along with other posts. In the next day I will publish a post with something new. But for now, let's wait for the posts that have already been written, the next ones. Thanks for your continued interest.
The title of this post is A New Game, also known as a New Game: Computer Games, computer games, or computer game, with a capital "N".
New Game is a game that looks a lot less like a conventional game. It's a very modern game. The computer in the game is a virtual agent who acts according to the actions of the player in the game. The agent's goal is to play a game of a particular type, and also to gather information about the game. The player's goal is to obtain the best reward for the game, or the best reward for the agent's actions.
The game consists of two main components, the player's and the agent's goals. The player starts the game by selecting a type of game, and will select a number of actions before the game starts. The player's goal is to play a game whose goal and goal for each game is to be the highest. The agent's goal is to learn a game from the player. The agent's goal is to learn the game from the player's actions. The agent's goal is better than the player's goal, so it's very important to achieve this goal as early as possible. However, this goal might not be as important as the player's goal, and it might depend on other factors, like the number of games that the game has already been played. Learning the game from one other game in the future is not a goal, but an aspiration. It's as if the agent wants to become the player's best friend, or the player wants to become the agent's best friend.

The National Security Agency of the USA is eavesdropping on telephone conversations
Washington Post has reported that the National Security Agency of the USA was eavesdropping on the phone conversations of 35 world leaders.
The former employee of the NSA and CIA Edward Snowden has supplied the journalists with classified documents. The name of the high-ranking US official, who gave out the numbers of the eavesdropped phones, is not disclosed. Out of 200 numbers on the list 35 appeared to belong to the world leaders.
Shortly thereafter a scandal burst out over the information that the telephone conversations of the chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel were being eavesdropped. Without the aid of diplomatic channels Miss Merkel has immediately presented the US president Barack Obama with an ultimatum during a private telephone conversation. In return Angela Merkel received assurances, that the information on eavesdropping of the world leaders was incorrect.
Responding to accusation of NSA of USA in espionage, Barack Obama said that the United States had no espionage programs inside of the country. However, there are mechanisms, which allow monitoring a telephone number or an e-mail address, which might be connected to a terrorist attack.

Our Eco-Safe Roof Cleaning service is what we're most known for on Cape Cod. We understand roof cleaning, its deterioration, causes and cures as well as how to keep a roof clean forever. We use quality chemicals, equipment and techniques blended with professional workmanship and techniques to raise property values by bringing Street Appeal to your roof and helping you avoid the costly repairs (like replacement) associated with mold, moss, algae, lichen and more.
We take a conscientious approach for the long-term quality and health of your home and landscaping with Eco-Safe cleaning solutions. If you are afraid of spraying a chemical up on your roof you should be. Not only can the chemical run off and damage your plants and lawn but some roof cleaning products sold online can be fatal to your pets. These toxic chemicals can alter the color of your roof and stain any other surface it may contact on the way off the roof. Our roof cleaner is made from earth friendly hydrogen peroxide and it will not harm people, pets or property. As an oxygen based cleaner, our cleaner only has an active life of 4-6 short hours before this product biodegrades, making it by far the safest method in the roof cleaning industry.
We take immense pride in our work and we don't clean from the ground. Most home owners do not have the capability of cleaning their roof the way a contractor would but there is always a natural concern from the home owner. A pressure wand in inexperienced hands can cause serious problems to a roof. With over 11 years of cleaning 2,500 + homes on Cape Cod, we believe we deliver the best quality and longest lasting "clean" available. We clean from the roof -not ground- using light pressure aiming down the roof at all times at the angle of the roof and using special nozzles for pressure washers that we manufacture called "Soft Tips". We've customized that technique to reduce the impact pressure on a roof by up to 70%. When a roof is professionally cleaned this way, no damage occurs to the roof.
If you think you're at the point where you can avoid replacing the roof but are putting the project off, you might be at risk of your roof being aesthetically altered forever with ugly black marks. These marks are caused by lichen and moss that has eaten into the shingle to get at the limestone. You can salvage the appearance of your roof by dealing with the problem sooner rather than later. Call Street Appeal Pros before it's too late.

Bi-Rite chef Jason Rose's Spring Pea Hummus is a crowd pleaser. Even his toddler loves dipping fresh vegetables into the flavorful spread.
Walking into either of San Francisco's two Bi-Rite Markets is a food lover's dream. You could easily spend an hour or two just browsing the bins, baskets and shelves. Over time, Bi-Rite has branched out to include a creamery and bakeshop, a farm, a catering company and a nonprofit, all of which support the idea that community comes together through good, ethically-sourced food.
Now chef Jason Rose, Bi-Rite's culinary director, is sharing the secrets behind his favorite, vibrant green-pea hummus. He says it's sure to please everyone at the table — including the kids.
Frozen peas are certainly convenient, but fresh spring peas are, of course, wonderful to use when they're in season — which is now. Blanch them in boiling water for 10 seconds, then shock them in ice water to stop the cooking. Then add oomph with fresh herbs and lemon zest.
If using fresh peas, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add the peas to the boiling water and blanch them for 10 seconds. Drain them, then plunge them into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain them once more and pat dry.
Chop the peas finely with a knife or pulse them in a food processor.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the ingredients, using a rubber spatula to mix them until evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and more lemon juice, as needed.

Assassin's Creed Unity could be key to rebuilding Notre Dame Cathedral
The spectacular 1: 1 recreation of the church in the Ubisoft video game set in Paris could end up being fundamental.
Although at a playable level has questionable aspects and is the most discussed instalment of the entire series, Assassin's Creed Unity does an amazing job in everything related to the recreation of Paris and, how could it be otherwise, one of the star points It was his Notre Dame cathedral.
This is assured, at least, by the BusinessInsider portal, which explains the incredible work carried out by Ubisoft when it comes to recreating not only the entire city but in particular the church itself with a 1: 1 reproduction of its impressive construction.
They are based to assure it in an interview of The Verge with one of the artists of levels of the game, Caroline Miousse, that explains that there was a work of documentation so absolutely brutal behind his back that could be taken advantage of now for the reconstruction. "He made a lot of photos to nail the architectural aspect of the building, and he worked with texture artists to make sure that each brick was where it should be", you could read in that article.
Also Read: The Assassin's Creed of 2020 will have Viking atmosphere, according to evidences
It is not the first videogame of the Assassin's Creed saga to offer immaculate recreations of cities or vintage environments, and that is a franchise that lends itself to carry out fascinating works in this regard. This is the first time, that yes, that could be overturned all his monstrous documentation in a reconstruction application of this type.
It should be remembered, though, that the game is on the lips of many fans right now, and that Assassin's Creed Unity players have honoured Notre Dame in the most surprising ways yesterday, after the fire of the representative Parisian monument.

Q: Why does a Github Action on a Linux self-hosted runner require a user swap for every command if you dont want to run on root I'm wrote a workflow to install some tool dependencies on a Linux self-hosted GitHub runner VM. I'm using homebrew to do the tool installs. Using homebrew requires that it not be run on the root user which is what the GitHub Runner logs in as. I'm wondering why when I create a step that switches the user from root to my test user things break but when I sudo to that user in every step things work fine, I think I explained this poorly so see below:
Failing Workflow (you can see the first step switches the user to testUser):
 installHomebrew:
    name: Install Homebrew
    runs-on: [self-hosted]

    steps:
      - name: Switch to etpAdmin user
        run: sudo -u testUser -i

      - name: Install Homebrew silently
        run: sudo apt install linuxbrew-wrapper -y

      - name: Run brew for the first time to create the .linuxbrew directory
        run: brew -h

This will fail on the last step claiming homebrew shouldn't be run on root while the following workflow works just fine.
 installHomebrew:
    name: Install Homebrew
    runs-on: [self-hosted]

    steps:
      - name: Install Homebrew silently
        run: sudo apt install linuxbrew-wrapper -y

      - name: Run brew for the first time to create the .linuxbrew directory
        run: sudo -u testUser -i brew -h

My Linux is a little rusty but I was under the impression using sudo -u (username) -i will log the terminal into the specified user until logout/switching user again, am I wrong or is there a better way to accomplish this?

A: Disclaimer; I'm not familiar with the platform you are running on or the tool you are using, but I do have an educated guess.. and I hope this also how the -i flag behaves.
As most provisioners work, they usually run each step (mostly) independently from other steps. Which (again, usually) means that environment from one step is not carried over to the next one. So in this case, running sudo -i in one step will not have any effect on subsequent steps. You can try this to see how the provisioner in your case operates:
testUserChange:
    name: Test active user
    runs-on: [self-hosted]

    steps:
      - name: Default user
        run: whoami

      - name: Sudo user
        run: sudo -u testUser -i whoami

      - name: Should be default user again
        run: whoami

      - name: Maybe interactive shell like in first attempt
        run: sudo -u testUser -i

      - name: Who am I now
        run: whoami

Now as for the -i, the manual states:

This means that login-specific resource files such as .profile or .login will be read by the shell.  If a command is specified, it is passed to the shell for execution via the shell's -c option.  If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed.

While this may be a bit confusing, as most provisioners don't expect user interactive input at runtime, they would usually close the STDIN handle (the input to the process). If we have two users, user0ne and usertw0, I hope I can demonstrate the behavior;
$ export PS1="This is user0ne env \$ " # just to show when environment variables are re-set due to loading the login scripts
This is user0ne env $
This is user0ne env $ whoami
user0ne
This is user0ne env $ sudo -u usertw0 /bin/sh
This is user0ne env $ whoami
usertw0
This is user0ne env $ exit
This is user0ne env $ whoami
user0ne
This is user0ne env $

In the above example, you can see that while the effective user is tw0, the environment is still set to what 0ne has set. Let's try with -i:
This is user0ne env $ sudo -u usertw0 -i /bin/sh
$ whoami
usertw0
$ exit
This is user0ne env $

So by now, looks like -i sets the environment (and login) to tw0's. Now, while the documentation does state that without any argument an interactive shell is opened:
This is user0ne env $ sudo -u usertw0 -i
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

usertw0@ubuntu:~$ logout
This is user0ne env $

Let's see what happens if we close the input handler (or more accurately, input nothing):
This is user0ne env $ sudo -u usertw0 -i < /dev/null
This is user0ne env $ whoami
user0ne
This is user0ne env $

And the same will happen even if you provide /bin/sh as the command to run, like shown in a snippet above:
This is user0ne env $ sudo -u usertw0 -i /bin/sh < /dev/null
This is user0ne env $ whoami
user0ne
This is user0ne env $

So even though the documentation does state it will open an interactive shell, the shell closes once there is no input to be read, and the state returns to the previous user.
Cheers! :)

It's an early snow year this year, one of the earliest I can recall. While we are used to the New England vagaries of weather, the November cold and snow caught many by surprise, and it's a bit of a delight to be honest. Who doesn't like a good storm, the trees covered, the plows rumbling by on Route 11? But sometimes I think we are hardwired for slower changes, more gradual transition when the night temperatures gradually dip and the first snows come with the brush strokes of flurries. Why? Because that seems more the nature of life's temporal changes; they rarely happen in a rush. But we will roll with this early winter and transition to skiing, basketball, and the ice rink and the new vibe. And we like it.
What's a little harder to get used to, at least from my perspective, is the way we shift from Thanksgiving and the relatively slow winding down of one holiday into the hyped up frenetic pace of the next. The change first registered early Wednesday morning in Logan airport (traveling to Illinois, Utah, Wyoming, and Texas this week) with the gigantic snowflakes in the Southwest terminal. Then it was holiday carols pumped out of every store speaker. Has it been only a little less than a year ago that Baby, It's Cold Outside or Santa Baby endlessly looped on the radio? And then in Chicago yesterday, where the ice was falling off buildings and warning signs were posted everywhere, I noted holiday shoppers thronging the sidewalks pretty much oblivious to the threat of being walloped. Such is the strength of holiday shopping tidal pull, I suppose, that common sense and self preservation can be cheerfully abandoned.
If I am having challenges with abrupt transition to cyber Mondays and Black Friday sales pitches, with holiday songs that are all too familiar, I think about the transitions some of our students are going through as they return to campus from Segovia or from Ocean Classroom. Talk about abrupt. To go from living with a host family in Segovia and navigating the small streets of a historic hilltop city to living in a dorm and navigating the slushy walks between Shirley Hall and the Brown Dining Commons can be, well, quite different. To go from the rolling decks of the Roseway off the coast of Puerto Rico to the quiet library desks in the Fowler Learning Center demands sea legs of a very different sort, as does the transition from a small, tight knit group of off-campus travelers to the larger community in Andover. It takes flex.
These life transitions, more than the ones that ferry us from one holiday in one month to another in the next, are the ones that bring realization about how much change has occurred. They are an abrupt awakening to a process that has been gradual. These transitions make us reflect on the enormity of life, the world, and our part in it. The holiday flip from November to December? That's more about navigating hype. This week, as I hop from one airport to the next, one state to another, I find myself thinking about growth transitions as opposed to holiday transitions.
And I'll take navigating the growth transitions any day.


Two weeks ago, I learned about a local opportunity for a "Mommy and Me Bootcamp" at the lake, an exercise program designed with busy moms in mind that involves exercising with your children. I was ecstatic. Ezra LOVES exercising with me at home, often counting for me or getting on my back/tummy while I do crunches, squats, or pushups.
I figured this would be PERFECT! He would be around other kids, I could hang out with other moms, and I might actually be able to keep up, because if there are kids involved it can't be too intense!
When it came time for the actual exercise class, Ezra's interest quickly waned. He didn't want to participate…he wanted to go walk. And when I tried to encourage him to participate, or had to chase him down to bring him back to the group, he started crying and even screaming. I was frustrated… embarrassed. He was the only kid (and there were several other toddlers there) acting this way. I kept trying to work out while still consoling him and chasing him. Finally I gave up and left.
I figured that he was probably just worn out from playing soccer. It was hot outside. We would try again next week.
I tried everything I could think of to get his attention back onto the exercising and involve him in it, but he wasn't having it. And the more I resisted him, the more frustrated he got, and his tears began flowing.
I caught myself saying something like, "But Ezra, look! All the other kids are doing it!" And I cringed. Is that the way I want to raise him? To do things that he doesn't want to do simply because that's what "all the other kids" (or moms) are doing? Is it really worth it to force him into that mold?
And so as frustrated and embarrassed as I felt, I knew that we were done with boot camp. I chose to take his hand and walk away from all the other moms and kids.
We sat down on a bench just to look out over the beautiful lake. We collected rocks.
We didn't burn lots of calories or gain a lot of muscle, but we had a sweet time together. We left tired and hot, but happy.
I'm learning that, while it's not wrong to try new things, sometimes they don't always work out the way we think they should. And that's okay. Not every kid is the same. Not every mom is the same. And what works for "them" won't always work for "us." That doesn't make us better or worse than them. Just different. And it's okay to be different…to break away from the pack and do your own thing. And, in my opinion, if it's not fun for both "mommy" and "me," then it's just not worth doing.

We wanted something a little different so made these awesome Hokey Pokey Choc Muffins and my kids LOVED them, actually my daughter was so excited she squealed lol. I made these in a mini cupcake pan and I got around 40, which was awesome, cause I put them in the freezer and lunchbox treats are now sorted for the next two weeks.
There is NO WAY you'd be able to find an additive-free hokey pokey cupcake in the shops, the challenge is out there… let us know if you do (but you won't)!
I used rapadura sugar which is a whole food sugar, with a similar consistency to brown sugar. So if you don't have rapadura (known as Panela in the supermarket) then use brown sugar. It gives the muffins a caramel taste which complements the hokey pokey bits so well.
For the hokey pokey, I used the additive-free hokey pokey bits from our website.

Peggy G. Carr, Ph.D.
Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics
NAEP: Meeting Today's Needs and Building a National Assessment for the Future
Joint Statement from Peggy G. Carr, Ph.D., Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics and Lesley Muldoon, Executive Director of the National Assessment Governing Board
We are still just beginning to understand the many ways that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our schools, our students, and all who work in education. We all faced and continue to face countless challenges. For us to move forward, we need to understand how deep these challenges run, how the pandemic has affected student achievement, and how our education system – including assessments – can adapt, innovate, and produce improved student outcomes.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), perhaps better known as The Nation's Report Card, is in schools now, collecting vital data on what today's students know and can do at this critical point in their academic careers, their learning experiences during the pandemic, where they struggle, and how we all can help. We'll also learn about the impact on our teachers, and our schools. To do this, we're working closely with state and local partners and employing all the experience we've gained keeping NAEP the gold standard in student assessment for more than 50 years. Yet we know we are at a crossroads.
The pandemic and NAEP's inability to administer the 2021 assessment provided sobering lessons. We realized that many of the ideas we had for the future of NAEP needed to be fast-tracked; we needed to be able to reach students regardless of where and how they were learning, and to give the public more real-time, actionable data. And we need to move more quickly to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of stakeholders today to improve NAEP's value to educators and policymakers.
We, as leaders of the two organizations responsible for the future of the NAEP program, are committed to working together to strengthen and reimagine NAEP, building on its reputation for rigor, quality, and independent, scientific integrity.
Here's a preview of our thinking. It's based on serious internal examination as well as conversations with our stakeholders, especially principals and other school leaders around the country. NCES has also held roundtables with leading scholars in the equity field, and the Governing Board has convened its task forces of state and urban district leaders, gathering great insights to inform NAEP innovation.
The first essential step is to modernize the test administration model and make it more efficient. NAEP is digital, though students still need to be in physical classrooms to take it. We're working toward an online, anywhere, device-agnostic and adaptive NAEP. Another innovation to fast-track is automated scoring beyond what we've long been doing for multiple choice questions, exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can evaluate student's written responses. These are building blocks for a more efficient NAEP.
Our stakeholders need timely data, and during COVID, we were able to leverage NAEP's school network to provide valuable, real-time data on how students were learning. Our touch-free survey operation monitored the movement of schools through the different modes of pandemic learning (in person, remote and hybrid) by state and by demographic characteristics. This year, we've shared the NAEP infrastructure so that NCES can gather other types of real-time data, such as teacher and school staff vacancies, vaccination rates, health and safety policies, and other stakeholder concerns. This "pulse" data is being produced and shared monthly.
We know that we can do more to provide timely and relevant information back to the people whose time and effort makes the Nation's Report Card possible. NCES and the Governing Board are exploring a range of ideas to do just that–from linking NAEP scores to other assessments commonly used in states and districts to creating more flexible mini-NAEP assessments that schools can use on-demand.
Since the pandemic has made it clear that where students learn is changing, we are exploring ways to reach them wherever they are, with, for example, entirely remote test proctoring.
These are but a few ideas. In the months ahead, the National Center for Education Statistics and the National Assessment Governing Board will collaborate on a research and development agenda that will be guided by the principles of:
Utility. For data to be useful, they must paint a deeper picture of the educational experiences of all students. In the months ahead, we will meet with policymakers and other stakeholders in states and districts to hear what they most need to use the results to support meaningful improvements for all students.
Relevance. We will evaluate opportunities to provide products and services that are more actionable for stakeholders with boots on the ground. This includes evaluating the new domains and subjects that may be important for NAEP to assess given future needs and policy priorities.
Adaptability. It is important that NAEP–which, by design, makes changes carefully and methodically–become more adaptable and nimbler to assure its ongoing relevance. This includes more flexible administration and updating content as needed.
Equity. NAEP must lead the field in identifying new, empirically based methods to advance equity in assessment. We're a nation of incredible diversity – and our data must capture what's happening in every ZIP code; and the experiences of students of every race, sex, and ethnicity; as well as students with disabilities and English language learners. This could include collecting and reporting better indicators of socioeconomic status; looking deeper at what goes into widening gaps and insights into how to close them; and considering changes to NAEP assessment frameworks. With a little effort, we can get closer to understanding the "whys" of inequities without crossing the line of unjustifiable cause and effect.
Efficiency. Technological advances give us new opportunities to streamline NAEP's delivery model, reduce burden on schools and reduce costs, while maintaining NAEP as the gold standard. As stewards of taxpayer dollars, we must always seek opportunities to create new efficiencies.
Quality. Innovations that push the new frontier must also uphold the technical rigor, integrity, and validity of NAEP. We aim to set up a new NAEP innovation lab to advance research and development for this program, to advance all these principles and keep quality at the center of our work.
The 2022 NAEP assessment underway now will provide the most comprehensive snapshot to date in the United States of student achievement and progress since COVID. We are eager to share the results. Meanwhile, we will be actively listening to and working with our stakeholders to build a strong collaboration for change, together
We welcome your ideas and thank you for participating in and supporting the Nation's Report Card, the gold standard today and for tomorrow.

Light-Welterweight Boxer Maxim Dadashev Dies At 28 After Sustaining Brain Injury In Friday's Fight
by Andrew Childers
in Breaking News, News, Obituary, Sports
(PM) — Boxer Maxim Dadashev has died after suffering a brain injury in a fight in Maryland. He was 28.
The Russian Boxing Federation says Dadashev expired "as a result of the injuries he sustained" in Friday's light-welterweight fight with Subriel Matias at the Theater at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
Dadashev was hospitalized quickly after the fight, which was suspended by his corner following the 11th round after Dadashev sustained many punches to the head.
Footage from the match confirms Dadashev shaking his head as his trainer, Buddy McGirt, implores him to end the fight, telling him: "You're getting hit too much, Max. Please, Max, please let me do this."
Both boxers were 13-0 before the fight, which awarded the winner the right to confront IBF title-holder Josh Taylor.

I have a big bunch of dill and I have been using it for the past few days in almost everything I made. Except the fabulous rice krispies treats (recipe coming soon!). Because dill in a dessert? Well, let's just not go there. Anyhow, I've added it to a dip and added it to a a biscuit dough. Then this pasta dish happened. I even took a bunch and it's currently air-drying so I can have my homemade dried dill that I will put in a little spice jar.
As you can see, I am obsessed with dill.

I think you like dill… 😉 This dish sounds so good, though. I am all about the pasta – we have it thrice a week, and I really do appreciate a recipe that adds new twists to it!
Perfect indeed for quick weeknight fixes!
Thank you so much for the new dinner idea, Anna. I'll be trying this tomorrow night 🙂 I have a whole container of dill but I never see it in recipes, so I'm excited to try this!
Thank you, Karen! You will love this dish! Also, you can try my drop biscuits recipe and add dill to it too! Let me know what you think about the pasta dish!

Interracial Marriage Legal 43 Years
Today is a very special anniversary for my family. Forty-three years ago today, Mildred and Richard Loving won the Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia, allowing interracial couples to marry. Illegal to marry in Virginia, the Loving's drove to Washington DC to take their vows. Upon return to Virginia, they were arrested and sentenced to one year in prison for violation of the Virginia Racial Integrity Act of 1924 that criminalized marriage between whites and non-whites. Their sentence was suspended for 25 years on the condition they agreed to leave the state. The Lovings appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case, Loving v. Virginia, was decided unanimously in the Lovings' favor on June 12, 1967. The Court overturned their convictions. The couple never wanted to be famous, just happy. They went on to have three children. Richard Loving died at age 41 in 1975, when a drunken driver struck their car. Mildred Loving died of pneumonia on May 2, 2008, in Milford, Virginia, at age 68. Her daughter, Peggy, said, "I want [people] to remember her as being strong and brave, yet humble—and believ[ing] in love." The final sentence in Mildred Loving's obituary in the New York Times read, "A modest homemaker, Loving never thought she had done anything extraordinary. 'It wasn't my doing,' Loving told the Associated Press in a 2007 interview. 'It was God's work.' On a personal note, I, too, think it was God's work. His signature is in their last name!

Children's Book: "The Rabbits' Wedding" by Garth Williams
The Rabbits' Wedding by Garth Williams
The Rabbits' Wedding is, hands down, my youngest daughters favorite book. It has been as far back as I can remember. It's a sweet story about two little rabbits, one white and the other black, who fall in love and want to be together forever. The illustrations are darling! Garth Williams is famous for illustrating many books, two of the most notable are Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web. Here's a favorite page that always produces laughs:
Interestingly, the book was banned in several places during the 1960's for fear that it was "brainwashing" children into thinking integration/interracial marriage was good. Sweet message + darling illustrations = priceless! BUY IT HERE!
