Do you want to see if your content is working? Track your followers, following, and engagement numbers daily. Picking the right hashtags could put you on page one for hashtag searches and some of the top hashtags for your niche!
Not all hashtags are created equal. We give you the hashtag data you need to select hashtags that will actually help boost your followers & engagement. The top hashtags are great, but they may not be the most effective way to get more followers on instagram. Don't use stupid tags… use UPSOCIAL!
Hashtags are used on multiple social media platforms and have even transcended into to platforms that have no direct use for them. They have become a way not only to organize and categorize content, but to express individuality and create recognition. The little character has created quite a movement in itself, captivating and convincing millions of people to use it while posting photos, or responding with a quick quip. With millions using and following hashtags, it is important to know how to use them effectively so that you see return.
Make sure the hashtags you use have to do with exactly what you're advertising. Be simple and direct. If you use general hashtags, you are more likely to not get any engagements and your photo will not stand out.
Use similar hashtags to the ones your competitors use.
With this trick, you can determine which hashtags receive more attention than others. You can figure out what your future customers are talking about and which hashtags they are using. Maybe you can even discover new hashtags you've never thought of before.
Find out what hashtags your audience is using on an everyday basis and see which ones fit your content. Your hashtags should be relevant and contain keywords that users actually look for. Humor is a popular communicative tool and you should use it to reflect well on you brand or company profile. One of the best ways to find trendy hashtags is to follow Instagram influencers that have the same or very similar target audience as you. You can also browse through posts containing hashtags you currently use and are successful with. Look and see if those posts use different hashtags as well, but ones that you don't use and include them in your future posts.
Come up with relevant, unbranded hashtags.
Make it easy for users to find your photos using a hashtag that describes your photo. Relevant tags will help you attract new followers who will take a genuine interest in your photos and will begin to like and comment on your content. You don't have to mention your brand name on the hashtag. They must represent your brand in a special and unique way. They are also great for content campaigns and contests. Brand hashtags are also very useful to raise awareness on your initiatives.
You should keep it short and sweet. It's simple; no one wants to type a ton of characters to find just one subject. Hashtags are supposed to make things easier to find. Social media marketers can take advantage of hashtags and reach out to a large audience. Use them carefully and correctly, and you'll see the difference.

In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix the parsley and chile pepper with the tomatoes. Let sit for twenty minutes. Make the dressing by whisking the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, mustard, olive oil and salt together in a small bowl. Dress the tomatoes, toss, serve and enjoy!
My verdict: I've made this salad a few times – it's great when you have a plethora of cherry tomatoes. Frank thought this batch had a little too much mustard (and although it pains me to say so, he was probably right). Even if your tomatoes aren't wonderful, the spice and lemon make up for less than stellar fruit. I recently served it with my favorite Indian chicken, as we were a little shy on vegetables that evening and I had a couple of boxes of cherry tomatoes. If you're not a fan of spicy food, go easy on the Serrano and cayenne and add as much or as little as you'd like. Cilantro is a nice addition or replacement for the parsley and if you don't have a freezer full of chilies (like I do), just add more cayenne.

In our latest CSA box from Eatwell Farms we received a bundle of Lemon Verbena. I'm completely unfamiliar with the herb. What do I do with it? Fish? Steak? Tofu?
It smells like the essence of lemon, almost more lemony than lemons. There is also a woodsy note, not as up-front as the lemon but definitely there. Earthy, herbal, almost cedar-ish. I'm intrigued.
The plant is native to South America and grows to a height of about a foot or so. It is often used in herbal teas, commonly with mint and lavender. It is also found in perfumes, potpourri, and sachets.
The leaves dry up quickly; within hours of being picked. The leaves are tough though, and are often removed from the drink or dish once they have added their flavor, much like bay leaves.
With each box from Eatwell comes some recipes and enclosed this week was one called Fruit in Lemon Verbena Syrup. So I figure since I'm a neophyte of the herb, let's start there... this is a variation of theirs, ad libitum.
I began by making the syrup which was "simply" water, sugar, and Lemon Verbena. I eye-balled all three but close to 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup dried Lemon Verbena.
I brought it to a boil, then killed the heat, and allowed it to cool.
Then I sliced up some fruit. I used Cantaloupe, Oranges, and Strawberries.
By the way, Eatwell's Strawberries are some of the most delicious I've ever had, and I grew up in California, which produces more than 85% of the US' strawberries.
What I noticed at a glance was how much smaller and darker they are than what you normally find.
Also, when I bit into them, their seeds were more pronounced than what I'm used to. Not unpleasant, but you notice them more.
I put the Lemon Verbena Syrup in a squirt bottle and hosed down the fruit salad with what may have been 2 tablesoons of it. I finished it by topping it with Goji Berries.
The extra syrup I think will make some fun cocktails, specifically, I think it would go well with gin. Both have that herbal/woodsy flavor; gin deriving its dominant character from juniper. I'll let you know.

What is the Flare Knockout Drum?
A flare knockout drum is a vessel in the flare header that is designed to remove and accumulate the liquids that are condensed from the relief gases. It is the primary component in a pressure-relief arrangement in industries. It is also known as a vapour-liquid separator or knock-out pot and is available in vertical and horizontal configurations.
The size and structure generally depend on the specifications required which is decided with the help of trial-and-error procedures. It is based on the settling theory which states that the liquid droplets will settle due to the force of gravity. The size is determined by the anticipated flow rate of liquid and vapour. Then, vessel diameter is calculated to ascertain the maximum allowable vapour velocity.
This is a preferred design when a large quantity of liquid is required to be stored. The standard length-to-diameter ratio of the horizontal drums ranges from 2 to 4, and it should be large enough to contain the liquids and allow them to settle. They are either designed to let vapours inside from one end and exit at the opposite top side or enter from the center and leave at each end of the vessel.
They have vapour inlet nozzles placed radially, and the top of the drum's vertical axis has the outlet nozzle. They are also available with a tangential spout. Here gravity causes the liquid to settle down at the bottom of the vessel, and the vapour travels upwards.
These are vertical vessels with tangential nozzles. They are designed in a way to allow gases to enter and spin around a center tube that extends below the liquid inlet nozzle. The gases and liquids flow downwards, which causes droplets of liquid to fly off and gather on the sides of the drum and gather at the bottom. Once the vapours reach the bottom of the center tube, they change direction and flow upward and out of the nozzle.
All knockout drums include the vapour-liquid inlet line, the vapour area, and the liquid zone. They also have a liquid level gauge or an indicator, a control valve, a de-entrainment pad, and an intel distributor in some cases.
The primary aim is to remove any water or oil from the relieved gases.
To knock out free liquid gas or water that enters a compressor when it is at the point of suction.
When it is at the fuel stack's bottom, its function is to knock out the free liquid.
It also works to entrain crude oil into the furnace or the burner.

An organization's business architecture revolves around five broad areas viz. the customer segment, scope of products or services, geographic coverage, strategic differentiation and profit pools. During the course of an M&A, organizations tend to alter one or more parameters of their business architecture which will impact their IT strategy needed to enhance customer reach, add efficiencies, reduce cost, add competitive advantage or enable business processes that could bolster any of the aforementioned.
Difficult to read*, isn't it? Too often, B2B firms create excruciating content just like this and push it out to their social media channels. Then they wonder why they get so little engagement in return.
Before you start writing, decide the three main messages you want to get across to your reader. Stick to discussing these points in your piece, even if you find other ideas competing for your attention. Pack too much into your writing and you risk losing the reader's interest.
Write for the reader, not yourself. Be respectful of your reader's intelligence and time by getting to the point quickly. Be sure to relate your topic to the reader's needs.
Write as if you were having a conversation with the reader. Avoid using corporate and technical jargon. Plain English is always best.
Avoid, as often as possible, overused business words and phrases that can make your writing appear dated.
The title of your work is important. It should compel the reader to want to know more and should include the most important messages you want to get across. If you were writing about a new information technology solution, your title might be, "New Info Tech Solution Reduces Risk, Increases Return on Investment".
Hook your reader in the first paragraph. You can do this by asking a question or sketching a scenario in a few sentences.
Most readers will skim and dive in to read only if something catches their eye. Use a mix of short and long sentences and lots of white space to make your writing more appealing.
Use bullets, checklists, and subheads to guide your reader through your writing and keep them interested. You can also bold your main points so that they are more obvious as the reader skims.
Avoid using the passive voice. For example, say, "Joe saw him." rather than "He was seen by Joe." The first is short and precise. The second is longer and therefore harder to read. Too much passive voice puts the reader to sleep.
When you do use technical terms or acronyms, define them on first use, even if you think your reader may be familiar with them.
Make your points as simply as possible without dumbing down your topic. Don't make your reader work too hard to understand what it is you're trying to say. When reading gets too complex, readers find better things to do with their time.
Support your points with relevant examples, analogies, or short stories. This brings your content to life.
Proof and edit your work before publishing it. It's easy to overlook this step if you're on deadline. But rereading your work lets you to spot things that need fixing – poor word choice, passive voice, typos, etc. These often aren't obvious in the drafting stage.
Close with a call to action. What is it that you want readers to do? Offer comments on your blog post? Contact your company sales executive for more information?
There are many resources that can help you write compelling content. I recommend my clients read On Writing Well by William Zinsser. Although not specifically written for social media, it is an excellent guide to the basics of good writing.

Q: Magento 1.4.1.1 Import/Export I've searched for a working import/export feature/script forever. None of them seems to work.
I'm trying to export, edit and then re-import my stock.
I need the export fields to be sku, store, quantity, is_in_stock and price.
And I want to just re-import the same list of fields.
When I try to use the 'export/import' feature that is built in with Magento, I'm getting a message saying:
Warning: Please do not close the window during importing/exporting data
But then the script dies. I've googled this problem and found that a lot of people have it and it's not related to memory/max_execution_time etc..
Can anyone direct me or show me where I can find a working script that will export these fields and then allow me to import them back in?

A: Very simple answer Magmi It takes a little bit to learn but it's bullet proof and VERY FAST!! And FREE!!!!
https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpwebsite/magmi/
It operates directly on the database and does not bog down your system resources. Also has some really cool plug ins that allow you to do some very fancy things with your images, attributes, Store Categories etc...

Q: Exchange Server 2003 not receiving email after a recovery? We have an exchange server that recently died.  I built a new server with the same operating system, reinstalled exchange 2003 with the /disasterrecovery option, installed SP2 with the disaster recovery option and then restored the exchange stores from a backup I had taken with backup exec.
When the server came online after a reboot I manually activated the stores.  Workers can send mail to the Internet but not each other.  They also cannot receive mail from the Internet. Calendar is working and Outlook clients are connecting to the server with no problem.
If I telnet to the mail server (internally) I can send a message, the server accepts it but the message never gets to the mail account.
Tech info:  Windows 2003 SP2, Exchange 2003 SP2
Please Help.

A: The problem may be between Exchange and Outlook. Use cache mode. Maybe the mail will get to the user's online store. If possible try to recreate the profile on the local machine. This should work for most people. Copy mailbox contents using exmerg. Delete the database. Re-create the database and import the old mail back into it. Lots of help you can find here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Outlook/comments/29umn0/deleted_all_my_outlook_pst_files_i_cant_recover/

Q: krenew command not working : Permission Denied I am using a Linux server to perform my simulations. The login and the file-system of the server are protected using kerberos. The file-system is supported using NFS.
Since my simulations take a lot of time to run, my ssh sessions used to hang regularly.
So, I have started running my simulations in byobu (similar to screen).
In order to make sure that my kerberos session remains active, I am using the krenew command.
I have entered the following command in my .bash_profile file. (I am sure that it is called for every login)
killall -9 krenew 2> /dev/null
krenew -b -t -K 10

So everytime I ssh to the server, I kill the existing krenew command. Then, I spawn a new krenew command -b (which runs in background), -t (I forgot why I was using this option !), and -K 10 (It must run after every 10 minutes and refresh the kerberos cache).
When I run the simulations, It runs for 14 hours and then suddenly, I am getting error for reading file Permission Denied
Is the command that I am running incorrect ??

A: You might not be getting renewable tickets by default. Check the flags on the ticket using
klist -f ( MIT )
or
klist -v ( Hiemdal )
if you don't have renewable or R in the flags, use the -r option to kinit to get a renewable ticket. If you are getting a renewable ticket, it's more than likely that you aren't renewing the same ticket every time.
On linux kerberos tickets are files in /tmp and every login session gets a different file. I'd suggest you use kstart instead to start your job with it's own ticket and a daemon to manage that ticket.

Huge pleasure to have you on the show today. Why don't you start by introducing yourself and sharing a little bit behind why you're so passionate about the work you do in education?
Jason Schilling (01:56):
Well, thanks Sam for having me in it. I really appreciate the opportunity to be here and have a conversation with you today about the things that I love, which is education and teaching, and I've always found teaching to be a joy. It's one of the things that has been a great fit for me as a profession because I, I love working with children. I love working with students and helping them in the capacity of helping them grow and learn. I teach english and drama. Those are my two main areas. I am a drama major actually, but you can't always find a drama job so you end up teaching other things as well. But I fell into English because there's a, there's the way those two really marry together quite nicely and, and things like that as well.
From the Lethbridge area, I taught around Lethbridge my entire career and it's started off in a small school in Vulcan teaching junior high and then worked my way up into high school. Then I switched to where I was teaching before I became President at Kate Andrews in Coaldale. And when I became president of the association, I had to go on leave from my teaching job and relocate to Edmonton in order to do this work and I knew that was a factor that I'd have to do in my life, but the day that I had to leave my school was one of the hardest days of my career because I, I built these relationships up with students and colleagues and the community over 17 years; and so then when I left, it was, it was pretty hard. And I miss teaching every day, but it's also a really good reminder of why I do the work that I do now as association President.
I love that. And if you take me back to, you know, younger Jason, not that you're old or anything, but like, you know, Jason right before St. Art in your career as a teacher how did you know that that was the path for you? Was there educators in your life that directed you down that path because they thought you had those associated characteristics and skills or from a young age, did you just know, you know, this is what I wanna do. Like, you know, gimme more context on how you landed in this profession.
No, that's a great question. When I was in junior high, you know, I was that typical kind of socially awkward little weird kind of kid in junior high, right? Yeah. And so I had this really great language arts drama teacher in grade seven. And I just always thought in my mind during that point, this would be all right. That would be a cool job, you know, and, you know, she was really great. And she, she worked with us really well and I felt it was one of the first times I remember in school feeling like somebody saw me. Right. Mm. And, and, you know, I had great teachers all through school, but this was a, you know, this, I was just something about this teacher that really kind of, kind of hit that mark. And that's always in the back of my mind, but it was interesting when I went to university, I was a marketing major.
I was going to get into advertising. That was my, my initial plan. And I remember, you know, university left bridges where I got my undergrad degree. It's a liberal arts university. So you have to take all of these other subjects within the list requirements as they like to detail of them. So I ended up taking drama, which I never taken drama before. I was too shy. I was too chicken to do it as a junior high kid, no way would that ever happen. And I just remember my prop, I had there just said to me, he goes, this economics marketing thing that you're doing, doesn't sit you on you. Well, it doesn't fit you, you well. And the drama class was just super easy. And then he, he tapped me on the shoulder to be in the main stage production at the university.
And just from there, I, I changed my major. I got into drama education because it was a way to to take sort of the things that I, I really enjoyed working on. I think students really grow through the fine arts courses especially in drama. I've been able to, to work with students who are super shy and awkward. Like I was as a, you know, junior high kid and put them into a, a, a play where they just shine and they come out of their shell and they, and you see this growth and it's phenomenal. And, and you kind of learn that through university when you're working on that with students. And it just sort of came from there. And once I got into that sort of drama education part in university it changed the whole dynamics of going to university. It was suddenly became much easier. It was a joy to be there. The work was hard and the hours were long, but I didn't mind doing it because it was, I was doing something that I love. And I, I'm very fortunate that I had on people who kind of pushed me in that direction to, to do that because you know, I, you know, some days are hard, but it's what you love. And so you just keep doing it. So it's great.
You, you mentioned that the day you left your school to move into the, you know, this president role of this association was one of the toughest days of your life. But that reminds you now why the work you're doing is so important. What do you mean by that? Tell me more about the work you do now and how it relates to education and why you think it's so important.
Well, part of my role as, as association president is that the ATA you is you know, part of our mandate is to promote an advanced public education in Alberta. Nice. And I've just seen the benefits of public education for my students myself you know, I've gone to public school. All my university degrees are from pub arcade or from public universities in Alberta. I just know the benefits of public education and we need to fight for it because I always believe, and I've, I've said this a few times in other places as well. I think you, you fight for what you value and what you believe in. Hmm. And that's why this role is important to me, it's challenging. There's some good, like everybody else, there's some good days in there some bad days. But I carry with me, you know, that it experience of my, my teaching career. And I'll end up probably going back to teaching once I'm done with this role as well with my colleagues and my students, and just knowing that education's important to them as well, because they value it and they believe it as well. And I took a bunch of my mentors that I had in my classroom that I have collected over the years, and I have them in my office in Edmonton, because they're just there as a visual reminder as well of the reason why we're doing the work that we're doing
Beautiful. And COVID 19 introduced some interesting challenges not only in, you know, every school, but I'm, I'm assuming also in the association and everywhere could the world, what are some of the challenges that have, that have come up and how have you and your team trying to tried to address them and overcome them?
Well, definitely. And it's been, it's been a huge challenge and a difficult year for teachers and even staff working at the association because every way that we've normally have done things has changed and has been altered. And the things that we thought would be temporary have become sort of these permanent mainstays in our lives right now. And, you know, we still have lots of pandemic ahead of us. And so we'll still be doing these things for, for months to come, even though vaccinations are coming, but we're still seeing an increase in, you know, variance and other things around that as well for teachers, they literally had to change how they were interacting with their students overnight when classes were canceled last March. And they did a phenomenal job. Some days weren't great. Some things worked, some things didn't work. It was hard to connect with all of our students because one of the things I think the, the pandemic EC has done as well is highlighted the inequalities that we have within our system.
Not every student has access to technology, not every student is able to you know, connect at home because they might be sharing a computer with their parents and their siblings, or, or just a multitude of things that came up, you know, poverty, income, security, all sorts of came up with this as well. And so that was a lot, a big challenge for us to manage at that time and still to do that at this point, as well as trying to deal with health protocols and now, you know, close it or schools that might have to close because they have a COVID case and moving everybody online, then coming back in for myself as a, you know, president, I usually tens of thousands of kilometers a year. Yeah. And so it's it's a little bit of isolating in that fact that a lot of my work has done sort of how we're talking today through zoom. But you know, it's, it, you just keep doing it, you just get up and you keep working to make sure that you're connecting and engaging with members and being able to hear what they're saying in terms of their experience, and then turning around and advocating for them down the road with you know, ministry staff and such.
And I also believe that every adversity challenge, you know, also plant there's a seed somewhere planted of an opportunity within that adversity year challenge. And, you know, one of them is to create more, you know, equitable school. I'm curious to know what are some of the opportunities that you're seeing as well, or the shifts that you're seeing that you think are great and are good to be having in conversations that are happening within schools and within the association?
Well, I know through the last little part in March and June, where teachers were working online, a lot of collabo between teachers in terms of making, you know, talking to one another and their school leaders or principals about connecting with kids and connecting with parents and making sure that lessons were being delivered. And it really started to spark a conversation towards the end of the school year about assessment and what are we assessing in school and what are the things that we need to be assessing in what's a priority and what's important. And those are really good conversations to have, because teaching it to me is always reflective, look back at what you're doing, where you're going with with things like that. And then to analyze that. So the, the conversation around assessment has been a really good one. Like, do we need to have diploma exams and provincial achievement tests?
Like, are they capturing what students are truly learning? And we know that they don't. And so to keep those things going forward is important. And it's also really highlighted, I think the importance of relationships, we know that relationships are key when it comes to teaching with students, with each your colleagues in the building with their parents in the community that really highlighted that over this last year. You know, I talked to teachers who they don't like having to go online because they want to be in the room with their students face to face, even though they're wearing a mask and have to do, try to do social distancing as best as they can. They still want to be in that space with their students, working with them in that capacity, because trying to connect with people is really difficult through a screen.
And for a variety of reasons you know, some kids might not turn on their cameras and and things like that. So that makes it even harder. And we also kind of learned, you know, the inequities that we have with some of our students and that we have a greater need in terms of society to address those things such as poverty even connected to the wifi is one of them. And of course, I think one of the biggest conversations that we've been having and still need to have in the future will be around mental health and supports around mental health as well.
I love that. And you, and we're living in a time where students bedrooms have been transformed into the classroom, and some students are rolling outta bed and turning on their, you know, computer to join class. And it's just as stressful and difficult for the teachers sometimes. And I would even assume yourself, like, I, I'm not sure if you're, you're doing this interview from an office or for, you know, from a place in your home, right. You have beautiful pictures behind you and it looks great which is awesome. You have a nice microphone, which is great. But how do you balance that work in life when they're both? So, you know, closely intertwined personally? I just, just a very curious, personal question.
No, it's, it's, it's a really a great question because I'm actually, yeah, I am talking to you today, actually from my apartment in, in Edmonton. So I I'm working from home today because I've had that, that luxury being able to do that, but I do go to the office quite a bit as well, just to find that balance and that normality in life, I think COVID is really altered a lot of the normals that we, we normal. We, I'm gonna keep saying normal over and over again. Yeah. It's gonna alter, it's all altered the way that we've done our lives professionally and personally. And so I do go to the office just because some days it's easier to, to do that, the work that I need to get done that day there, but also it allows me periodically to see other human beings.
Right. So I might, you know, I try to time things sometimes with my assistant, because maybe there's some, some documents I need to sign, or we need to talk about some things that are in the, the plans and works like that. So we try to, to focus that as well, or if we have a big media event such as the curriculum was just released here on Monday some of the com the communications people might come into the office as well. And, and then we're able to do that work together because it's easier that way. So finding that balance is it's hard it's because when you're working from home and I'm not sure about your situation, Sam working from home, your work is just sitting on the kitchen table. Yep. Right. And it's always there. And so you just end up working longer and, and, and things like that. And it's, it's important to find balance and to, to, you know, get outside and, and do the things that you can in a safe manner that are, are protecting yourself and others.
It brings, it brings the conversation back to that topic of mental health, right. Addressing student mental health, but also staff and human, mental health, the whole, the whole world should be addressing that. What do you, you think is important around, you know, addressing mental health in the next couple of years? Like, what do you envision or think should be happening more in schools to support that in relation to students and staff?
Well, that's a great question. And I think it's a great question that a lot of us need to have conversations with our elected officials about because you know, I've, I've insane that I don't think anybody is untouched by the effects of the pandemic. Some will feel it differently than others and that's just human nature. That's the way that we are. But I think one of the things, you know, coming from a small rural school is you, we would only have a counselor in our building maybe one day a week. Right. But the, the the effects of the pandemic make, or the mental health needs of our students, they come to school every day. And so we need more support that way in terms of having counselors in buildings working with students helping staff as well in terms of the support that they have.
I mean, staff are able to access health benefits if they have them substitute teachers don't necessarily have those support, but other staff do, and to make sure that they're, they're taking care of themselves and getting over the stigma of taking care of your mental health as part of your health, I've always been saying to teachers through this whole time, and I, I'm a victim of it myself, you know, it's okay not to be okay. And it's okay to have bad. I have them too, but just work and, and, and chat with people and try to support that and, and making sure that you're taking care of yourself. That's key. And we also need to make sure that you know, government is providing those means of support for that and making it a priority as we move forward.
I agree. And I've experimented with some like, different things like meditation, and, you know, there's stigma along with that too. Right. Like, you know, just talking about mental health is, is it shouldn't be, but it, you know, historically has been a touchy topic. But you tell someone, oh, I'm meditating. And you know, my friend's like, what are you a monk? I'm like, no, what are you talking about? Like, this is something that I do to quiet my thoughts, quiet my mind, and start my day off on the right foot. And I think it's so important to normalize those things in schools. Like I, I don't know. Do you think in the next couple years, wellness will be like a, you know, something that's very implemented in schools and social, emotional learning.
Yeah. I think we need to make the idea of wellness as, as normalized as part possible that these are just the things that I do, whether you meditate, I run, right. And so you know, I get out there and I strap my shoes on and I, there's not a, I say, there's not a, there's not a problem. I can't solve on a good 10 mile run. Nice. And and things like that as well. And I've actually even said to students in the past, you know, I could have marked these assignments, but I went for run instead. Just because I'm going to be a much happier teacher for you today because I went for a run yesterday and I've actually had students in the past. Sometimes that we've, if I'm might be having a particularly cranky day, they'll like, could you go for a run today when you're done school?
And, and then maybe when you come back tomorrow, you might be a little bit more pleasant and I'm like, duly note it. So, I mean, we all have those things in there that we, it just, we have to make this an ingrained part of our life and know that wellness is important for us in all aspects of our lives. And the pandemic is really showing that as well, because it's really highlighted the things that we're missing from our lives, maybe in terms of personal relationships and our professional relationships, and then trying to find a way to rectify that so that we can just be better or happier as we move down the road.
I agree. I totally agree. And, you know, we, we mentioned relationships earlier and how, you know, that's one of the things that you noticed, you know, as a, something that's super important that came up during COVID 19 and maintaining relationships how do you think we continue building relationships virtually? Is it by just, you know, phone calls and checking in with the teachers and, you know, having them check in with their students, like, yeah. How do you think we build those relationships?
Well, ideally, I mean, in person is always gonna be better. Yeah. I mean, we, we do have these virtual things and there's ways to, to stay connected with that. I don't know you know, I talk to a lot of my colleagues and, you know, my friends and family I'll do the zoom thing, but periodically I just like to pick up a phone yeah. And just call somebody. So instead of, you know, I always say if my email chain gets more than five, I'm phoning that person just to talk to them about it because after a point you just lose that. And so it's hard and it's not ideal, but you just do the things that you can do. And I know Christmas holidays was difficult for a lot of people and I didn't have the chance to spend it with my family for the first time in a long time. And so we, we still managed to have Christmas dinner. We just did it by FaceTime. And we were kind of weird at first, but then at the end it was, it wasn't bad. It was okay actually. And it wasn't, it wasn't too bad. And, you know, when it came dishes time, you could just, instead of having to do them, just click end then,
And then you put on your shoes and went for a,
Yeah. I'm not sure it's Christmas time. It was kind of cold, but I don't know if I would,
So, yeah, that's awesome. That's amazing. And you know, if you could give advice, there's educators listening to this right now who maybe burnt out right now, who may also, you know, couldn't see their family for Christmas, who, who have been question whether or not the work they're doing is making a difference. And, you know, they may even be thinking about, you know, leaving or quitting. You know, what advice could you share as someone who knows how important education is and educators are on the lives of our youth? What advice could you share that might be helpful? You know, imagine you were talking to a friend of yours, who's a teacher.
Well, and I have these conversations with teachers all the time over this last year about feeling overwhelmed or burned out by the requirements and, and things like that, of what they have to do, or working with the health protocols or carrying the stress of, you know, trying to keep a class of the 30 kids safe through the course of the year so that they don't get ill. Is that time it's okay to, to step back a little bit from the pressures and it's okay to say no to some things, and I'm, I'm not, I'm not doing that. Or I'm not running book club this year. If I was at school, actually in the classroom right now, there would be no way I'd be doing a drama production this year. Just on top of everything else that needs to be done. It's okay to take a break from that stuff.
It's also, I would just say, you know, talking to people we sometimes get stuck in our heads over things, or we, we, we see a lot of negativity maybe within social media, stuff like that. And, and it's hard to put that down but to put it to, to try to find ways to support mental health and, and things like that as well. And also talking with your colleagues, because if you might be struggling with some aspect on something, they might be as well. And just finding ways teachers work very well collaboratively. And so finding that space in that time, I was really appreciative of this last year. We had a couple school boards in the fall, actually changed a couple of their PD days into just wellness days and just gave everybody the day off. And it was around the remembrance day weekend.
And I thought that was a really good approach. Not saying, okay, well, kids, you have the day off teachers, you have to do all this extra work. And they just said, no, here's the day off. And so I think that's important for employers as well to, to look at what's happening and saying, okay, we need breaks. Let's not try to cram everything in cuz this year's not normal. And I've always cautioned people from normalizing this year. Nothing about this year is normal. Nothing about the way that you're teaching is normal. And it's okay if you don't get to everything because a resilient I've, you know, I've taught for English 20, 30 for 20 years. I know what I need to do in the curriculum as a professional to make sure that my students are reaching the outcomes that they need to have in order to move on to the next grade, teachers are professionals and they'll do that. And so it just, you know, having that conversation with them and saying, you know, it's all right, it's, we're all in the same boat together. And, and to just reach out that way. So
I love that I was talking to another educator the other day and, you know, we were, you know, talking about the situation, but trying to make it a little more lighthearted by like laughing about some things. And she said, you know, we're all in the same boat and the boat's the Titanic. I was like, relax. Like I, I know I totally get it. And you know, like yourself, I've had lots of conversations on this with this project on this podcast. And yeah, I think it's important to have those people in your life that you can talk to and have conversations with and realize that it's okay to take a day off. I'm curious to know personally what is, what is the first thing you're looking forward to once this passes blows over the world opens up per like what is the first thing that you'll be doing at that moment?
Joe, what's funny is I'm, I'm often known for not being a hugger. And so I, you know, when I keep saying to people, when this is all over, I'm still going to keep that six foot rule away from me at all times. And there people are like, we are gonna give you a hug. That's great. I think it's one of those things is I'm just looking forward to being able to spend time, you know, with my parents and my family. And, you know, I have a sister who lives in the states and that, and being able to see them in and for probably well over a year now. Right. And so just getting to, to be around people in that capacity, we're, you're just not afraid at the time and, and, and stuff like that as well. So that'll be the biggest one. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. You know, as long as everyone stays six feet apart, right.
As long as there's just not some big hug I'll be working with.
That's awesome. Jason, thank you so much for taking the time to chat today about education and you know, it's important and why you're so passionate about it, and some of the things that you're observing and seeing. If someone wanted to reach out, you know, send you an email you probably already have a lot of those, but if someone did wanna reach out to you, what would be the best way for them to get in touch and maybe have a conversation?
Actually the best way is just through email and it's just jason.schilling@ata.ab.ca. And I always, I always say to teachers, I try to get back to everybody. Even the hate mail that I get, I always respond to those as well but not always as quickly as I would like to sometimes; just always depends on what's going on.
Sounds great. Again, thank you so much. This was awesome and I look forward to staying in touch and watching the great work you do.
You bet, Sam. Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

Hi, I am interested in this AUDI A4 1.8 TFSI MU (EU6). Please contact me with more details. Thank you.


Seattle University has a long and rich NCAA Division I athletics history that first flourished during the 1950's with its men's basketball teams and All-American's Johnny and Eddie O'Brien, who lead Seattle U in becoming the only team in history to have defeated the world famous Harlem Globetrotters.
The success of men's basketball, continued into to the 1960's with outstanding players such as Eddie Miles, John Tresvant, Rod Derline, Clint Richardson and Tom Workman, all of whom went on to successful NBA careers. In fact, during a period of time during the 1960's no other NCAA institution produced more NBA players than did Seattle University. As depicted in the 2005 Disney Films movie, Glory Road, Seattle University handed the 1966 Don Haskins led Texas Western University squad its only defeat in an otherwise stellar championship season.
Seattle University excelled in more than the hardwood during the 1950 and 1960's as women's tennis star Janet Hopps was the first female to be the No. 1 ranked player – for both the men's and women's nationally. In women's golf, Pat Lesser, who was twice named to the Curtis Cup in the mid-1950's, was inducted into the State of Washington Hall of Fame in 1999.
In addition, more than 25 baseball players went on to play professionally in both the minor and major leagues. Men's golf and a Tom Gorman led tennis team, were also very strong national programs. Gorman went on to lead the U.S. Davis Cup team to unprecedented success – captained a record 18 match wins and one Davis Cup title (1972) as a player and two more Davis Cup championships as a coach (1990 and 1992).
After spending the greater part of three decades as a major Independent, the university joined the West Coast Conference in 1971, as the University athletics programs, particularly among its women's teams, grew with the enactment of Title IX. During the 1970's, men's soccer became a firmly established program. Women's basketball burst on the scene in 1978 and featured some of the University's greatest players in Sue Stimac, Sue Turina and LaShanna White, who scored 2,530 career points. While the athletic programs were growing in numbers, the decade was a very turbulent time for the City of Seattle and for entire university; ultimately, these forces proved to be a painful crossroads for athletics.
In the early 1970's the Boeing Aviation Company, the largest employer in the region at that time, suffered significant financial loses and was forced to lay off tens of thousands of workers. Economist and historians refer to the period as the "Boeing Bust," and in the wake of its fallout, an astonishing 56,000 people moved out of the region during the mid to later part of the decade. Seattle University, which is in the heart of city in the First Hill and Capital Hill districts, suffered greatly from this dramatic downturn and mass exodus.
Facing local economic depression, declining enrollments and mounting financial pressures for athletics competitiveness, the competing interest for discretionary spending and corporate sponsorship support with emergence of the NBA Seattle Supersonics franchise, and NCAA compliance legislation requirements intensifying, then University President Fr. William Sullivan made the difficult decision to preserve the institution by making several cuts across the academy, including the de-emphasis of all athletics programs. With this de-emphasis came the University's departure from the West Coast Conference and Division I membership as the University entered the NAIA, where it remained for nearly 20 years. The move marked a new chapter in Seattle U Athletics.
Led by long-time coach, Peter Fewing, the men's soccer team captured the university's first national title winning the 1997 NAIA Championship. Men's and women's swimming coach, Craig Mallery, led the men's swimming team in claiming the NAIA national title in 2002. During this time, the University, which had dropped baseball and tennis in 1980, added back men's and women's tennis, which went on to win numerous district titles.
In the late 1990's, current University President, Fr. Stephen Sundborg, restored the University's NCAA membership by moving most of the programs into Division III for one year and then all programs to Division II in fall of 2002. In short order, another Fewing squad led by All-American and National Player of the Year, Bobby McAllister, claimed a University first NCAA team title by winning the 2004 Division II national championship.
In 2005, four-time All-American (as well as Academic All-American), Chris Coley became the first individual NCAA national champion. He captured the Division II men's swimming 100 butterfly title.
Led by President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., and unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees, Seattle University began its return to NCAA Division I membership in 2007. The University entered the then five-year reclassification process in 2008. The University completed the process in 2012 by earning active Division I membership and joining the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) as a full member.
It did not take long for the Redhawks to find success, as women's basketball claimed the University's first WAC team regular season title in 2013. Erik Barkhaus, '13 was the first individual WAC champion by winning the 2012 men's cross country title.
As of December 2016, the Redhawks have claimed 35 team and individual conference titles since 2012. Sprinter and high jumper Shaddye Melu, '16 claimed seven of those in indoor and outdoor track and field. Academic All-American Stephanie Verdoia led the Redhawks to its first four WAC titles in women's soccer and was named the Seattle Sports Commission Female Sports Star of the Year. She won this award alongside the male recipient, Earl Thomas of the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks.
Men's soccer has earned two NCAA Tournament berths since 2013. The Redhawks advanced to the second round in 2013 with a win over Creighton. The Redhawks were a Sweet 16 team in 2015 after defeating national power UCLA at Championship Field before a capacity crowd. Women's soccer has advanced to three NCAA Championships and was a PK away from a Sweet 16 berth in 2014 in a heartbreaking loss to South Carolina.
Men's basketball qualified for its first postseason in 46 year in 2015. The Redhawks beat Pepperdine and Colorado in a College Basketball Invitational (CBI) tournament run. They also advanced in the 2016 CBI by defeating Idaho at home.

Ralph Northam's failure to resign offers yet further proof that he should do so: he doesn't get it. He does not recognize what his yearbook photo says about him. His lame, day-later assertion that the photo was an editorial mistake—not his intention at all—makes me wonder why, if that were the case, no one at the time challenged him or at least warned him of this devastating slur upon his moral character. The "good ole' boy" image must have fit. Worse yet, in many ways, it must have fit into the moral culture of his medical school and his university. After all, many hands are involved in preparing any yearbook for publication. None of them picked up a phone to call him out on this. White-male privilege indeed.
Senator Warner, Senator Kaine, the Virginia Democratic Party, and Speaker Pelosi have demanded Northam's resignation. Where would we be today if Republicans of similar stature had responded with such unanimity against Donald Trump? That might have happened as early as his unprofessional conduct during primary debates. Or if not then, certainly after the "Access Hollywood" tapes, or at whatever point of scandalous dishonesty you might prefer. They feared Trump's "base," we say—which is to say, they were willing to become the Party of Liars and Bigots if that was the cost of winning the White House. They were transparently unwilling to gamble that a majority of Republican voters—the 60 percent who did not vote for Trump—are honest and decent Americans who recognize immorality when it appears on the national stage. Their failure has been akin to the failure of those who allowed Northam's yearbook page to stand. It is, on the whole, the larger failure because it attests to widespread, institutional moral corruption.
In calling for Northam's resignation, the Democrats have held to a higher standard. The Democrats are willing to offend all of the good-ole-boy voters in Virginia and elsewhere who claim that Northam's yearbook page was just a joke.
Look where Republican moral cowardice has gotten us. Having failed to draw the line years ago, they are now complicit in all the havoc this impulsive and ignorant man has wreaked upon this nation, our alliances, and our stature in the eyes of the world. They have also steadfastly turned away from honest appraisal of Trump's morally dubious entanglements with Russians, which is to say they are now complicit in his treason too. This feels like a Shakespeare tragedy unfolding through an interminable second act.
Americans will have the government we deserve—and nothing better. If we have moral standards, then from time to time we will have to prove that we take those standards seriously. Yes, Northam should resign. But so should Trump.
If Republican leaders want to redeem themselves and their party, if they want to prove their higher loyalty to the well-being of this nation, they will pick up the phone and tell him that.


These sovereigns have a bare head portrait, and a different crowned shield on the reverse. 1830 was a proof edition only, whilst 1831 and 1832 had first and second busts. 1833, 1835, 1836 and 1837 was second bust only and in 1834 none were issued. These coins rarely appear in either high or low grades and are highly sought after by collectors and dealers alike!
