Does stimulating self-care increase self-care behaviour for minor illnesses of Dutch and Turkish inhabitants of a deprived area?
Anne Marie Plass, Danielle Timmermans, Gerrit Van Der Wal
A large number of interventions have been applied to stimulate medical self-care in an attempt to reduce medical care-seeking behaviour. It is not clear why some interventions led to success, whereas others failed. Moreover, it is not known whether success was due to an increase of self-care behaviour, because self-care behaviour in itself was practically never used as an outcome measure. AIM: The aim of the present study was to examine whether self-care behaviour increases after an intervention aimed to reduce care-seeking behaviour by stimulating self-care behaviour for minor illnesses of Turkish and Dutch inhabitants of a deprived area in the government city of the Netherlands, and to see whether there are cultural differences. Design: This longitudinal study was based on a "pre-test/post-test one group" design. Method: Data were collected during three structured face-to-face interviews: before, six months and one year after the intervention, in which participants were asked to report their self-care actions during the six months preceding each interview. Also, the TpB was applied. Intervention: GPs personally handed out booklets to their patients containing guidelines on the management of 12 minor illnesses. Each guideline consisted of a description of the minor illness, advice on when to seek help, and suggestions for self-treatment. Results: The number of self-reported self-care actions did not increase. The number of consultations for minor illnesses however, decreased. The Turkish participants showed the strongest reduction of formal health care utilisation, but they also reported a decrease in number of self-care actions. Furthermore their attitude towards self-care became more negative and they perceived less control. The number of self-reported self-care actions of the Dutch increased, their attitude and their perception of control over self-care increased, but they only reported less consultations for minor illnesses during the first six months of the study. Conclusion: The intervention was most effective to the Turkish participants, but its consequences were reverse to what was expected: their self-care behaviour decreased! Obvious stimulating self-care in itself does not lead to a reduction in formal health care utilisation, there must be other factors responsible for the effectiveness of self-care stimulating interventions.

Supreme Court confirmation hearings, which used to be genial affairs that got hardly any attention and yielded little information, have become hostile affairs that get much attention and yield little information.
Senators and citizens who have listened dutifully to two weeks of testimony from Clarence Thomas, his supporters and his critics have learned almost nothing about him that wasn`t known before-except that the nominee knows how to avoid answering a question he doesn`t want to answer, and that the Judiciary Committee members don`t know what to do in response.
Both sides look back to Robert Bork`s confirmation hearings the way hawks and doves look back to the Vietnam War. Senate Democrats tried to get Thomas to discourse at length on his writings and judicial philosophy, as Bork did, in the hope that he would provide ammunition they could use against him. Thomas, no doubt under heavy coaching from his administration handlers, was exceedingly careful to avoid that mistake, preferring to emulate such tight-lipped predecessors as David Souter and Anthony Kennedy-both of whom, unlike Bork, are now on the court.
There is nothing new about the refusal of nominees to reveal much about their thinking. Antonin Scalia, who was easily confirmed a year before Bork despite views on constitutional law that were just as conservative, not only wouldn`t talk about the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision on abortion, but declined to comment on Marbury v. Madison, the 1803 decision that established the right of the courts to strike down legislation as unconstitutional.
At the time no one found that alarming or even remarkable. Scalia was behaving the way most court nominees have behaved in recent decades.
What has changed is the attitude of Democratic senators, who resent their subordinate role in the selection of Supreme Court justices and would like a bigger say. They feel there is something fundamentally unfair about a process that allows the president to make ideology a central consideration in choosing nominees but forbids the Senate to make ideology a central consideration in whether to approve them.
Maybe it`s unfair, but it`s also a well-established arrangement. When Americans elect a president, they act on the assumption that he will have a largely free hand in the appointment of Supreme Court justices and other federal judges-just as they assume he will have the dominant voice in matters of war and peace. They rely on the Senate not to apply its own ideological test but to consider the ability, credentials and temperament of nominees and to block only those who are clearly unworthy.
The confirmation process has degenerated because many Democratic senators are trying to claim a bigger role than that assigned to them by the broadly accepted tradition.
If Democrats want a bigger role, they should seek it the way Republicans did-by capturing the White House. Abuse of the confirmation process is no boon to them, the Supreme Court or the country.

Scripps Celebrates Women's History Month 2022
Several early-career researchers share their experiences as women in science—and their hopes for the future
Brittany Hook
What do the world's first computer algorithm, CRISPR gene-editing technology, and the discovery of radioactivity have in common? These game-changing discoveries were all made by female scientists.
This March, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego joins in celebrating Women's History Month, including International Women's Day on March 8. These events provide an opportunity to recognize women and the important contributions they've made throughout history in science, culture, medicine, and more.
Scripps Oceanography has a long history of women making waves, starting with the institution's founding in 1903 by a trailblazing woman, philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, and her brother E.W., a newspaper magnate. In the years that followed—and despite facing many challenges—women expanded their presence at Scripps, making significant contributions to scientific research, education, and leadership. This work carries on today through current Scripps Director Margaret Leinen; the many talented women serving as faculty, staff, students, and researchers; and powerful alumnae including NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Megan McArthur, President of the National Academy of Sciences Marcia McNutt, marine biologist and policy expert Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, and more.
As Scripps works to build a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive campus community, there is still progress to be made. With a nod to the future of earth and ocean science, we've interviewed several early-career scientists at Scripps to learn about their work, what changes they hope to see for women in STEM, and much more.
Alejandra Sanchez-Rios
Postdoctoral Fellow with the Multiscale Ocean Dynamics Lab
What are you researching?
My research focuses on studying mixing across ocean currents with different temperature and salinity properties. Similar to when cold cream is added to hot coffee, when water with different temperature and salinity meet in the ocean, interesting filaments and structures are created that enable mixing and connect the surface with the ocean interior. This primarily happens at ocean fronts, so I'm involved in fieldwork projects where we survey fronts and capture small-scale features where mixing occurs to quantify the exchange of heat and salt across different ocean current boundaries.
Your favorite part of being a scientist is…
Feeling like an explorer. When I'm either in the field or analyzing new data sets, it feels I'm following my curiosity freely, and that freedom is a great privilege. I also enjoy working with others trying to understand how a physical process develops.
Who is one female role model in your life or career who helped show you the way forward?
Loretta Ross. She is an academic and an activist. I don't know her personally, but I studied her work when I was in graduate school and have heard several of her speeches. She has really inspired me to continue working in academia and find a way to stay on my own terms. She researches reproductive justice, and although this subject is not directly related to physical oceanography, her work opened my eyes to issues that women of color face daily and to the framework of social justice to critically evaluate our institutions. She collaborates with scientists from different fields to explore how current social constructs explain the unjust system we maintain. Studying her work has helped me understand my responsibility and place in academia. Making sure I contribute to creating a space where everybody can express themselves and be respected equally. The way she writes and expresses complex social problems is beautiful, powerful, and clear.
What advice would you give to early-career scientists, particularly young women of color, who are considering pursuing a graduate degree or a career in academia?
I would advise finding advisors, mentors, and peers that would care for them and listen to them. People with whom they can be 100 percent themselves in the lab, in the field, and the classroom, which will allow them to explore who they want to be in academia safely in seminars, in conferences, and when meeting other senior faculty. Also, on a more technical note, to work on their relationship with writing early in their academic career—any kind of writing. It can become a beautiful form to express yourself and your science if you have a confident relationship with it, which I still struggle to have.
Looking to the future, what changes do you hope to see in the STEM field?
I hope we create a more inclusive and just definition of what "academic success" is and broaden our idea of who a "scientist" is. In the future, I hope the value of researchers does not depend only on publications, grants, and prestige in the field but on how they relate to the broader community, their students, and their peers. And that as a community, we improve our communication with the general public.
Ali Mariko Dressel
Graduate Student, Master of Advanced Studies program in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation
As a graduate student in the MAS MBC program at Scripps, I am exploring how performing arts and immersive experiences can help drive social action toward ocean conservation, climate resilience, and social justice. For my capstone project, I am using dance, music, and immersive design to engage communities and communicate how climate change impacts coral reefs, how deep-sea mining threatens midwater ecosystems, and how we as a greater community can take action.
Your favorite part of being a scientist is...
Never-ending curiosity! I love that science encourages the exploration of ideas. Will it work? Let's find out!
Dr. Monica Stufft is one of my favorite people! She was my advisor while I was an undergraduate student at the University of San Diego. She inspired and trained us to be scholar-practitioners, and to this day, I strive to ensure that my work is informed by theory and that my theory is informed by action. Now she is helping advise my current project, bringing to light the role that theater plays in conservation/climate action and social change.
The most important thing you can do is believe in yourself. Be proud of who you are, cultivate confidence from within, and honor your unique perspectives. Especially for women of color, know that you are strong, you are capable, and you are resilient. I am Piro (indigenous to the southwest United States), Japanese, and European-heritage, and my multi-cultural identity no doubt helps me understand and synthesize different worldviews and approaches. Honor your ancestors by pursuing your dreams, wherever they may take you.
More creativity and traditional knowledge! I would love to see teaching methodologies in the STEM field evolve and find ways to more actively engage students with participatory-based activities. I would also love to see more integration of traditional wisdom, knowledge, and scientific practices.
Cathryn Sephus
First-year PhD student in biological oceanography, working in Amina Schartup's lab
My research currently focuses on understanding the intersection of ancient marine molecular biology and geochemical cycling. My work involves studying the evolution of metalloproteins and enzymatic antioxidants in the context of oxygenation events, modeling biogeochemical systems, and computationally analyzing genetic data.
Continuously learning. Whether it's learning a new concept in a classroom, learning about a novel finding at a conference, learning to apply a new skill to my research, or just learning from my own mistakes—I feel genuinely fulfilled by the perpetual stream of knowledge being a scientist enables me to have.
I am fortunate that there have been several driven, compassionate, and inspiring women in my life that have served as role models and propelled me forward towards my goals. One woman who embodied all three adjectives and catalyzed my development as a young scientist was Dr. Betül Kaçar, assistant professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Astronomy, then at the University of Arizona. I joined Dr. Kaçar's lab in its early stages as a fellow in the NASA/Arizona Space Grant Program during my senior year and stayed in her lab to complete my Master of Science degree. With her mentorship and unmatched dedication, I learned how to articulate questions, conduct sound research, communicate my work to academics and non-academics, and so much more. My time in her lab gave me the space and opportunity to grow as an independent researcher, and I am very grateful for that.
You don't need to fake it until you make it, you just need to be you and that'll do. "Fake it until you make it" is a well-meaning piece of advice sometimes given to us as words of wisdom to help in difficult or uncomfortable situations. But I think it's important to know that appearing confident is not the same thing as being confident, pretending to understand is not the same as understanding, and feigning knowledge is not the same as being knowledgeable. Sometimes all the "faking it" can lead to developing an imposter syndrome—doubting your real abilities and feeling like a fraud, but it doesn't need to be that way. If you're nervous to present in front of an audience, that's completely normal and fine to feel! With enough practice, you'll get used to it. If you're confused by a lecture, it's okay to raise your hand to say, "I don't understand," and ask for clarification so that you'll know going forward. If someone asks a question about your work that you don't have an answer to, it's okay to say, "I don't know." I think it's perfectly fine (and way less stressful) to just be authentically you.
I hope to see an increase in accessibility across the STEM field. I believe that all students deserve to receive a high-quality and enriching experience in STEM but recognize that having access to such experiences can be limited for people with both visible and invisible disabilities. I want to see and be a part of a shift in the STEM field to create and provide access and experiences to students with mixed abilities, empower student voices to speak on issues of inaccessibility and plans to mitigate exclusion, and incorporate technology to promote inclusion in academic settings.
Kait Frasier
Assistant Research Scientist and Principal Investigator of the Scripps Machine Listening Lab
I am interested in the use of underwater sound as a tool for monitoring change in the open ocean across large spatial and temporal scales. My work involves collecting very large sound datasets at sea, and developing computational strategies to find and interpret interesting signals in the data. My team and I look for everything from biological sounds made by whales, fish and crustaceans, physical sounds such as those made by weather and waves, and human-generated sounds from things like commercial shipping and natural resource extraction. We aim to understand how all of those sounds interact with the variable ocean, and what we can learn from them.
Those times when you've been working on a research challenge for months and finally get something working! For a moment you've done something that has never been done before or are looking at new results for the first time, and all of your efforts are suddenly rewarded. Those moments of discovery are what keep me going.
Dr. Jane Lubchenco, one of the preeminent scientists in the world, having led NOAA, served twice in the White House, and been honored as a MacArthur Genius, is also a professor and researcher in oceanography at Oregon State University, where I did my undergraduate studies. The experience of being involved in her research program, PISCO, as a budding scientist, attending her lectures, and witnessing her incredible career helped me believe that there could be a place for me in oceanography, and that the research we do can help encourage ocean stewardship and identify solutions for sustainable use of marine systems.
What advice do you have for young girls or women that want to get into earth and ocean science?
Learn a little bit of programming! I meet a lot of young people who want to make a positive contribution through science, and they are surprised to learn that science involves a lot of computing. I would encourage anyone who wants to get into this field to take a beginning programming course. Writing code is actually really fun, rewarding, and unlocks so many opportunities in modern research. You can learn to code, even if you don't think of yourself as a "computer person," and it will help you make a difference.
I think we are starting to make some progress on diversity in STEM, but we have a long way to go. I hope that those of us in academia will continue to reevaluate and challenge some of our long-held stereotypes about what a scientist looks like and how they must perform. We need to look for opportunities to help support retention of diverse participants in science and recognize that there is more than one way to be a fantastic scientist. Our student body is slowly becoming more diverse, but we need to work to ensure that those students can have long, rewarding, successful careers in STEM.
Katherine Guns
Postdoctoral Scholar at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics
Our group at IGPP measures tiny, millimeter-to-centimeter changes in how the surface of the earth moves, using space-based geodetic instruments like the Global Positioning System (GPS) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. My current focus is on tectonic plate boundary motion in California, and in particular, I study the processes that occur before, during, and after large earthquakes. There was a sequence of earthquakes that happened in July 2019 in Ridgecrest, in eastern California, and the post-earthquake motions are actually still ongoing! I work to characterize what those motions can tell us about the structure of the subsurface of our Earth.
Getting to learn something all the time, whether it's a new conclusion your data is suggesting, or a new skill you need in order to be able to collect or interpret new data, or a completely new perspective from another scientist. Sometimes it can get daunting, and even humbling, to think just how much we don't know about, say, how our Earth works. But if you flip that around, it just means there's so much more exploring we get to do.
Dr. Kim Blisniuk. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the time when I was an undergraduate student, and we met while she was a teaching assistant in one of my classes. Not only did she introduce me to my favorite branch of earth science (active tectonics), but she also was the first person to encourage me to go on to graduate school. She inspired me with her work ethic and her ability to both have a life outside work, and do amazing science at the same time.
Don't get stuck thinking that there is only one way to be a scientist. There are so many ways to study this planet. Maybe you don't like being outside in the field? Take a computer science course! Work in a lab! Is being out in the field your favorite thing? Find a job that has lots of field data collection! There is no one right way to do it, and science needs all kinds of people with all kinds of backgrounds to solve the questions of today. Whatever path you take does not have to be linear either—I definitely started out thinking I was going to be a field-based geologist and nothing else, but today I find myself working with computers more than rocks!
I only have experience in academia so far, but from what I have seen and experienced, I would strongly hope to see far more perspectives represented in the future. I want everyone who has something to say or contribute, to be able to feel welcome, included, and able to say it, wherever they are working. I will hope that there is a future out there where instead of a person being discouraged from pursuing a degree or job because they don't see any examples of anyone like them doing that job, they have a wealth of examples and role models to learn from. Above all, I'd like to live in a future where no person is actively persuaded that they don't belong in a space only because the people that currently occupy that space are made uncomfortable. That's what I hope for.
Mele Johnson
Staff Research Associate for the Coastal Processes Group
I work on a variety of programming and data analysis projects related to coastal oceanographic processes, ranging from website designs and development to wave runup analysis and drone imagery processing. I create many of the data viewing tools on our website, one of the most useful being our coastal flooding forecasts which were able to successfully warn Imperial Beach of impending large flooding events over the last couple of years.
That it combines two things I enjoy the most—the ocean and programming. Growing up on the beaches of Hawaii and California, I discovered science as a way to better understand coastal processes and the changes I noticed on my local beaches over time. Now at Scripps, I get to be a part of using science to predict and mitigate those changes, all while spending the day at the beach and getting to call it work!
At a young age, my mom inspired a love for science and taught me how to set my goals high because I can achieve anything I set my mind to. She showed me how to advocate for myself and push for what I want in order to further my career. While there is still a gender disparity in STEM today, when my mom was starting her science career there were very few women in the field but she persevered, becoming well respected in the oceanography field as a Scripps scientist. Her drive and strength are inspiring and she continues to be a role model for me and for other women at Scripps.
My biggest piece of advice for those pursuing a future in science is to focus on learning the scientific way of thinking and how to approach problem solving but not feel stuck in one field or in the topic they're studying. I was a chemistry major in college and worried that I wouldn't be able to work in oceanography because I had limited physics and oceanography knowledge. However, once I started, I didn't feel at all at a disadvantage and was able to learn along the way, utilizing my science background and programming skills to be successful in the position.
As a programmer in oceanography research with a mainly computer science background, I hope to see more cross-disciplinary researchers and collaboration across fields. I also hope to see more emphasis on research products that are accessible to those outside of the specific STEM field they are created for. Publishing papers is important but due to a lot of field-specific language they can be difficult to interpret for scientists outside of the field and stakeholders who use the research to make decisions. I'd like to see more online data products that can be tailored to those who are directly impacted by the research results and utilize the overlap of programming and scientific research.
Natalia Rangel
Graduate Student, Master of Advanced Studies program in Climate Science and Policy
As a graduate student pursuing a degree in the MAS CSP program at Scripps, I am involved with the Center for Global Justice at UC San Diego for my capstone project. The project proposes to integrate social risk reduction and ecological resistance planning on a local scale for the San Diego-Tijuana border region by disseminating social and ecological knowledge to develop appropriate community responses to climate change consequences. I will introduce collaborative planning instruments and package these tools into climate adaptation strategy "toolkits" and execute educational workshops. This is intended to support cross-border planning and outreach in the Los Laureles Canyon, a series of informal neighborhoods situated in western Tijuana. The goal of this project is to build community capacity and socio-ecological resilience in respective communities.
From my parents, I inherited an insatiable passion for learning which ignited a constant thirst for knowledge. Prior to attending Scripps, I worked as a wildlife biologist where I learned more about the natural environment. I have been stimulated to embrace the ideas and perspectives of others which has invited many opportunities. Science invites change and evolution in thought and assumptions, which is exciting. More and more I get the opportunity to exclaim, "I did not know that!" which opens another opportunity to grow and understand the virtue of being aware that I do not know enough. Challenging myself and learning through experience is my favorite part of being a researcher.
The strongest female role model that I have in my life is my mother. I was barely able to crawl when we immigrated to the United States in search of a better life. Her story is one of hard work, sacrifice, and resilience in a society that has behaved antagonistically toward cultural and ethnic integration. She has constantly reminded me that my culturally diverse experiences are key to fostering diverse interactions and building influential relationships which have been conducive to my development as a well-rounded scientist. Her guidance has inspired me to influence progressive change in disadvantaged communities and make a difference.
You are enough and you are more than capable. Allow the desire to foster positive interactions within your community to drive your pursuit of higher education. Find your passions and volunteer without worrying about the outcome. Take advantage of each opportunity and show commitment through dedicated service, be present, and be engaged.
I hope to see STEM disassociate from national defense and focus more on improving the human condition. STEM has largely been the result of competitive technologies and innovation. Rather than focusing on national defense education, I believe it's important to redirect attention towards improving our quality of life and of those around the world. Additionally, I hope to see more diversity in STEM fields, specifically women of color. Women of color that have championed ingenuity in STEM are trailblazers and have paved the way for us. Diversity and inclusion are critical to fostering creativity and innovation in STEM.
Sarah Nossaman Pierce
Staff Research Associate at California Sea Grant
I'm working with California Sea Grant's Russian River Salmon and Steelhead Monitoring Program. We monitor endangered and threatened salmonid populations, conduct research to identify habitat needs and limiting factors, and provide scientific information to partners to help inform recovery actions.
Figuring out how to answer complex questions and interpreting outcomes from the data. I also love working towards positive change in the world. Even if we don't succeed in recovering our native salmon, every action that we take towards that end helps to improve the health and resiliency of the entire ecosystem, and that resiliency is more important than ever in the face of increasing climate volatility.
Gail Seymour, a retired California Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist. Gail started working in the natural resource management field in the early '70s. She was nearly always the only female and Japanese-American on the job in the early years and endured relentless sexism and prejudice for decades, but never gave up. On the contrary, she became more resilient and resourceful. Her fortitude and perseverance made her adept at navigating the bureaucracy and effecting change. She always advocated for what was best for the species and the environment, no matter how much work or push-back it created. Gail's example helped me to embrace my strengths working in a field dominated by men in my early years, and to let go of what other people think and push for what I believe is right.
Everyone has unique attributes, skills and insights that can add value to the collective effort, no matter how much education or experience you have. Own yours with confidence and grow them by finding ways to apply them. Think critically about each situation, notice where the needs are, figure out what you can contribute—even if it's not conventional—and take initiative. Most of all, remember to listen to your own intuition. Innovative thinking requires engaging your heart, as well as your head.
I've been working in biological sciences for over 25 years and, over that time, have had the pleasure of seeing the integration of more women into the field. I hope that trend continues, along with greater representation by people of color, because increased diversity brings greater strength and balance to the workplace. The more diverse perspectives we can add to the equation, the more likely we are to come up with creative solutions to the very complex challenges facing us. Scientists often act as society's problem solvers and I believe that the more representative our scientists are of the society they serve, the more effective they can be in that role.
I would also like to see an increased emphasis on social-ecological systems approaches, which recognize the interdependencies between social and natural systems as a critical component of addressing environmental challenges.
UC San Diego is also celebrating women throughout the month of March with several "Women's Herstory Month" programs. Visit the Women's Center website to see the full list of free events.

Amazon Rain Forest Turning into Carbon Source, UN Agency Warns
The battle to stem climate change may be lost as new information indicates the Amazon rain forest is turning from a carbon sink – or area that absorbs CO2 – into a source of carbon dioxide, the World Meteorological Organization warns.
The latest edition of the WMO's Greenhouse Gas Bulletin reports emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide once again broke all records last year.
The U.N. agency's report warns the concentrations of these greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere are driving climate change. It says carbon dioxide, the single most important greenhouse gas, accounts for approximately 66 percent of the warming effect on the climate.
The secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, Petteri Taalas, says about half of CO2 emissions remains in the atmosphere for centuries. He says the other half is taken up by oceans and land ecosystems.
He says it is not clear for how much longer forested areas, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, will continue to act as effective carbon sinks.
"We have already seen some alarming indications that, for example, Amazonian rain forest ecosystem, which used to be a major sink of carbon, has become now a source of carbon, which is alarming," Taalas said. "And this is related to deforestation in the area and also changes in local climate because of this deforestation."
Oksana Tarasova, who heads the WMO's Atmospheric and Environment Research Division, says the WMO only now is revealing this new finding because it has taken nine years of observation to gather the measurement data set needed to understand the changes taking place. She says not all of the Amazon forest is turning from a carbon sink to a net producer of carbon.
"So, the Western part of the Amazonia still continues to work as a carbon sink at this point. But we do not know for how long that will continue this way," Tarasova said. "We are making the measurements there and keeping our track on what is happening there. … I would take the whole Amazonia as a whole that is seen that it is a sink, but its capacity is substantially reduced."
Meteorologists say climate change negotiators at an upcoming conference in Scotland must take concrete action and make concrete pledges to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
They say setting carbon neutral targets will not work in stemming climate change. They also warn the world is heading toward a temperature rise of 2.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. This, they say, is far more than the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Why blog is the wrong question. It is why publish?
The internet is about publishing content. Some you can pull in and scale with api's (api is a way to pull in feeds of data like IDX or other information) and such. Some you cannot. If you can pull it in, so can someone else.
So the big diferrentiator is your editorialized opinion. Your view. Your take on things.
It is what makes your site unique compared to all the other me toos or commodities out in the marketplace.

Pimples can lower your self-esteem and cause depression. Do not allow your pimples to dictate how you feel about yourself. These tips will help you have clear and bright skin.
Resist temptation! Avoid picking at and do not pop them. Use a drying treatment cream instead. You are making way for infection and scarring if you pick your pimples. The uneven discolorations that often result from picking at zits can also permanently discolor the skin.
If you frequently get zits near your mouth, consider treatments you use on your teeth as likely culprits. Tooth whitening products of all descriptions can lead to breakouts if they get on your skin. The skin near your mouth is sensitive and prone to breakouts.
Extreme changes in the temperature can affect the amount of pimples to worsen. You tend to sweat more when it gets really warm. Sweating can clog the pores and irritate skin. This can often cause your zits problems. Cold weather can also dry your skin dry. Both of these conditions are detrimental to your skin's health.
Try using natural skin products to help you get rid of pimples problem.Many common skin care products contain chemicals and have the potential to worsen existing skin issues. This results in more zits. Natural products with antibacterials can heal your skin because of their antibacterial products.
Garlic purges toxins from your body and helps new skin grow. You can improve your zits by spreading garlic into your diet through garlic salt or taking garlic supplements.
Zinc helps pimples because it reduces the formation of toxins under your skin's surface. Cystic zits sufferers interested in lessening facial lumpiness should take zinc supplements each day.
Did you know your pimples breakout? Cell phones collect oil from your face and hair to your face. You may clean your phone off with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to remove these oils.
You can use the tips that are right for your particular skin and see results now. You can take control and give your skin the healthy glow you desire. As you work to rid your skin of acne, your self-esteem will begin to grow.

TVXQ's Yunho Explains Stories Behind His Viral Clips And Memes
TVXQ's Yunho talked about some of the famous memes and clips of him circulating online.
On the January 23 broadcast of MBC's "Radio Star," Yunho appeared as a guest and was shown some of his most popular clips.
The first one was from his past appearance on KBS 2TV's "Happy Together" where he engaged in a rap battle with H-Eugene. Yunho covered his eyes while the clip played of him ending the rap battle with the now infamous line, "And that's the truth of life."
The second clip showed TVXQ's Changmin and Yunho sitting and watching a performance at an awards show. Yunho grooved to the music before looking into the camera and making a killer gesture, which had all the "Radio Star" hosts laughing.
The third clip was a fan-taken clip of Yunho and Changmin surrounded by fans at an airport. After taking off his sunglasses, Yunho shouted, "Excuse me" and moved his arms to gesture for fans to make way.
The fourth clip came from MBC's "I Live Alone" where Yunho danced passionately to TVXQ's "Keep Your Head Down" in his living room as soon as he got up in the morning.
When Kim Gura asked about him making the killer sign, Yunho explained, "I was watching a senior artist performing then copied his moves, but it was taken out of context."
"There are so many memes of me besides these," said Yunho. "But those are also parts of me. A lot of people and rappers make fun of me about the 'truth of life' rap, but I think to myself, 'I must've made some sort of impact.'"
About the clip of him shouting "Excuse me" at the airport, Yunho explained, "The fans fell on top of each other. I saw that and thought that I shouldn't leave it like this. I took off my sunglasses in order to be polite because I didn't think I should do it while wearing sunglasses. I thought to myself what it was in English, then shouted, 'Excuse me!' It was dangerous, so I said, 'Excuse me.'"
"Radio Star" airs on Wednesdays at 11:10 p.m. KST. Check out an episode below!

The movie was starting in about 10 minutes. But another show was already playing.
A man and his teenage son were sitting in front of me. A woman and her daughter walked up to their seats where the man introduced the two of them to his son. It was clear it was an awkward moment for the son. They all sat down with the son sitting between his dad and his dad's date. This was quickly followed by the son leaving and coming back to the theater several times with the man and woman chasing him down some of those times.
People want to connect, but it is usually awkward and uncomfortable.
Do you remember the first time you attended a small group meeting? You probably entered an unfamiliar place. The people were a group of strangers. You didn't know what to expect.
Showing up to a small group for the first time can be a scary experience.
Small group members can help replace this scary experience with an enjoyable one for visitors. To do this, group members need to be intentional in creating the enjoyable experience.
Here are a few ways to make the small group experience more enjoyable for people visiting for the first time. Be intentional about including these to help put your visitors at ease and make sure they want to return again and again.
Always give clear directions and a phone number for anyone who expresses an interest in attending your small group meeting. Be sure the address can be easily seen by drivers from the road. Use things like signs, lights and/or open doors to show they are at the right place. If they get lost or aren't certain they arrived at the correct location, they will not initially be in a great mood or may leave without giving your small group an opportunity.
Have each visitor met with a smile. Make sure they are introduced to several group members before and after the meeting. Listen for any areas of interest that they have in common with any of the group members. This will help build a relationship right from the start.
Consider establishing a greeter role in your group. This person would be responsible for greeting everyone as they arrive and talking with visitors while introducing them to the group members.
Getting inundated with a bunch of names to remember all at once is overwhelming. If everyone is wearing a name tag it takes away one more thing that can lead to worry and distraction for your visitors.
Am I expected to answer questions?
Could I be friends with one of the small group members?
Take the time before the meeting or at the beginning of the meeting to share what they can expect. This will help end anxiousness so they can settle in and enjoy their time with the group.
Always carry copies of the group covenant with you. Give a copy to your visitors. Quickly discuss the key points, including the importance of confidentiality, and get their agreement. This is important not only for your visitors to feel safe participating but also to maintain a safe environment for the rest of the group.
Find an opportunity, in private or during the group meeting, to ask how you can pray for your visitor. Then pray right there. Don't just say you will pray for them. They won't know whether it happens. Show you care.
Visitors are not going to return if it doesn't seem that the group enjoys being together. If your group is not having fun when members get together, discover changes needed by doing an assessment.
Visitors should not leave the meeting without all of the group members letting them know how thankful they are that they spent their time participating in the group. People are busy and it is a big deal that they chose to use that time with your small group instead of doing something else. They need to know you appreciate them.
Be sure you let your visitors know you look forward to seeing them at your next gathering. If there is a special event planned for the group, let your visitors know about the event and encourage their participation.
Each of these items will show love for your visitors. It will be hard for visitors not to be drawn into your group as they experience the love for Jesus, for each other and for them.
Question: What was your experience attending your first small group meeting? You can leave a comment by clicking here.
Hi, my name is Roger Carr. I am a husband, father, Christian, business person, writer, and volunteer. I have participated in and led several small groups over the past 30+ years. These small groups included those in churches, work settings, professional organizations, and nonprofit organizations. I am currently coaching small group leaders and serving on the writing team at my local church, supporting small groups weekly.

Maya Moore Wins SI's Inspiration of the Year Award
1 year ago lamarrfields83
The Sports Illustrated Awards aired on Saturday, highlighting some of the best athletes in the world. The event was co-hosted by Cari Champion, Richard Jefferson, Chad Johnson, and Lindsey Vonn. Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Aoki, and Gucci Mane all performed.
Moore Wins
Maya Moore won SI's Inspiration of the Year Award; she beat out Sarah Fuller, Chris Nikic, and Jaylen Brown. Moore took home the award because of her passion for fighting for criminal justice reform. The WNBA star stopped her playing career to fight for criminal justice.
Moore helped free Johnathan Irons, who served more than 20 years after being convicted on charges of burglary and assault. Irons pleaded not guilty and said he was not at the scene and had been misidentified. Irons and Moore meet in 2007 through a prison ministry; Moore was a freshman in college.
The two stayed in touch through the years, and in 2016 is when Moore started taking a role in advocating changes in law enforcement and the legal system. In 2019, Maya Moore announced she would step away from basketball to help Irons on his appeal.
In March 2020, Irons conviction was overturned due to no corroborating witness, fingerprints, DNA, or blood evidence connecting him to the crime, and he was released from prison in July. On Good Morning America in September, Moore and Irons annouced that they were married.
"We wanted to announce today that we are super excited to continue the work that we've been doing together, but doing it as a married couple," Ms. Moore, seated beside Mr. Irons, said on Wednesday on "Good Morning America."
Basketball Career
Moore is an outstanding basketball player; she won two NCAA Championships while playing for the Connecticut Huskies. Maya also was a two-time Player of the Year and made AP All-American First Team all four years.
The former Connecticut Huskie star was selected first overall in the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx. In eight years with the Lynx Moore, she won Rookie of the Year, WNBA MVP, WNBA Finals MVP, and was six-tome All-Star. Also, Moore is a member of thr WNBA TOP20@20 team and won four WNBA titles. As you can see, Moore walked way at the top of her game, and hopefully, someday, she will come back to play basketball. But maybe she has other important plans.

Who will wear the first yellow jersey at the 2017 Tour de France?
Will Tony Martin win the opening stage of the 2017 Tour de France in front of his home fans or will Rohan Dennis recreate his winning ride of the 2015 Tour?
It's never too early to start speculating about future Tours de France, and with the unveiling of the opening stages of the 2017 Grand Boucle in Dusseldorf we've been thinking about who might win the opening time trial.
Like in Utrecht in 2015, organisers have decided to start with a full-blown time trial rather than a shorter prologue and like in Utrecht, the first stage is 13km long.
Dusseldorf, again like Utrecht, seems to be a pretty flat city judging by a quick glance at some topography maps, so the result could be quite similar.
But the middle section of the 2017 opening stage looks pretty technical, with some sharp turns and bridges, but the sweeping run along the Rhine at the start and finish could lead to some fast times on the course.
Here are our five picks for the win on stage one of the 2017 Tour de France.
There are a lot of positives for Tony Martin in this route presentation. Firstly, the race starts with a time trial – something that he's very good at – and secondly, he'll be racing in front of his home fans.
He would probably prefer something slightly longer or more challenging to really show his strength, but his second-place finish in the 2015 opening stage shows that he's more-than comfortable over 13km.
Martin wore the yellow jersey for three stages in 2015, before crashing and breaking his collarbone on stage six, forcing him to abandon the race.
It would have been too easy to simply select Rohan Dennis as the favourite, given that he won the opening time trial in 2015, but it was that performance that makes it impossible to overlook him.
While everyone knew what a talent the young Australian was before the Utrecht stage, not many people predicted that he'd go as fast as he did, and given a smooth run in Dusseldorf and there's no reason why he can't beat Martin again.
Tom Dumoulin possibly won't race the Tour de France this season, as he prepares for an assault on the Olympic Games time trial, but in 2017 there's a strong chance that Dumoulin will be primed as Giant-Alpecin's Grand Tour leader.
We may be getting carried away, but Dumoulin showed remarkable promise in his battle with Fabio Aru for the leadership of the Vuelta a España in 2015 and set tongues wagging about whether he could contend at the Tour de France.
And what better way to set an early marker than by winning the opening stage?
Movistar's Adriano Malori always seems to go under the radar, but he is certainly one of the premier time trialists in the peloton.
Eighth in Utrecht wasn't what he had in mind, and he'd probably suit a slightly longer test, but Malori is exceptionally consistent against the clock, so could crack the top three with a solid ride.
Michal Kwiatkowski is another name that you don't necessarily associate with time trialling, but the Pole is more than handy against the clock.
Riding for Etixx-Quick Step he took the first yellow jersey in Paris-Nice last year with a great prologue ride ahead of Dennis and Martin. With Team Sky he may find his role requiring him to save energy to help Chris Froome later in the race, but given a free rein and he could spring a surprise.


Dr Kevin P. Kavanaugh, University of Tsukuba and HALO Trust -- Dr Kavanaugh has wide experience with UN operations in Bosnia, Tajikistan and Kosovo, and with the training of mine clearance workers in Cambodia.
Mr Kiyoshi Amemiya, Yamanashi Hitachi Construction Machinery -- Mr Amemiya's company produces, among other things, mine-clearing machines for areas where they are needed most - Cambodia, Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Ms Rie Gibson is taking part in an exchange program linking Japanese schools with schools in Rwanda on landmine and other issues.
Dr Kavanaugh will introduce the issue of landmines, using Cambodia as a case study.
Mr Amemiya will then discuss his activities in various countries.
Ms. Rie Gibson will then talk about her school's exchange program on landmine issues.


I would like to control the splits blocks created when I creates streets, not using type under Block Parameters.
In some cases a block needs to be split in half, with the same area, and in some cases the blocks needs to be split in trees parts, and so on.
Yes, thinks like this are possible ..
Can you post a few pictures of what you imagine ?
Good. I like to cut the area (lot and building) along the pink line in a way that I control if it will split the lot in exactly half, or like 10m from the lefthand side.
Yes, you can do these things, but you need to do them in CGA.
Hmm, I did not get it to work as I would like to.
I sent two new images I hope to get my idea clearer.
I would like to split the block (?) in a controlled way, not using type in the Block Parameters.
This is the end result I like to get. Here I have used Type Skeleton Subdivision. The problem using type is that it will not split the block as I would like to.
If its possible, can You send me a code for that???
I used the code You send me but did only manage to split extruded volume and I did't manage to offset the to generate some space between them.
Here is the result when I use the code You sent me.
Ah, I think I understand now what you need (I'm not perfectly sure).
Use 'NO SUBDIVISION' as subdivision type. This way, you get only 1 block shape.
Forgive me for taking your time. Your code does not share the blocks in a way that I want, the pink line indicates the block devided with your code . The green shows how I want to devide. I want to make one block to two or more blocks. I have devided it with a road with 0 feet in spread. Is it possible to split the blocks in that way without using a road?
If there are no other way how to prevent the Sidewalks to bend in the crossings?
So you have 2 blocks with a street that is 0 wide. All you need to do is use CGA to split the 1 big block shape into 2 smaller block shapes first.
CGA can ONLY operate on 1 shape. It can not synchronize things with other shapes. So GCA cannot alter or influence the dynamic subdivision, since that only produces the shapes on which a CGA rule is applied.
Ok ? Or did I miss a point ?
Yes I would like to use CGA to split the 1 big block shape into 2 smaller block shapes.
I do not know how the CGA code should bee written... I do not want to use the road that is 0 wide.
Could You help me with the code, please?:-)?
Just use the split() operation ..
Did you work through tutorial 6 ? This explains the basics of CGA.

The Foiling Week, A Year In Review
Posted in TFW's news, video on November 28, 2017 by Foiling Week.
Advancing the Community Concept for Innovation
by Christopher Museler
When the Foiling Week set up its first tents along the sparkling shoreline of Lake Garda in 2014, a small group of excitable and tweaky designers, engineers and sailors gathered to share, learn and collaborate. Once all alone in their corners of the sport and the world, this was their moment to go beyond their own visions and advance the new field of "foiling" on the water.
A mind-blowingly short time later, as 2017 comes to a close, Foiling Week is on three continents, there are more than a dozen established foiling classes and the seeds of foiling's place beyond sailing are sprouting across the world.
Luca Rizzotti, Founder: "In 2018 we are going for the first time to exciting locations like Sydney and Miami. We look forward to connecting with the amazing Australian and American foiling communities, tap into their latest innovations and spread the know-how around the globe. Garda is also promising to be bigger than ever with many requests from new classes. Finally, we see we are growing alongside our present partners and aim at having more on board to keep the foiling community ahead of the innovation curve, plus seeking impact investments for some of our new ambitious projects."
At the heart of innovation within the foiling space, Foiling Week sits alone as a forum. But this is not an exclusive club. Forums in Europe, the United States and Australia are now opening up doors and networks that were once, by the very nature of competitive events like the America's Cup and even geography, barriers to collaboration and development.
Cup designers once muzzled by NDAs eagerly bat around concepts with their counterparts at Foiling Week. Product developers racing to become "first-to-market" in the auto-foiling SUP space are able to explore production and distribution complications together. From the innovator to the end user, there is no doubt that this is a particular moment in foiling that transcends the sparks ignited by classes like the Moth, A Class catamaran and America's Cup boats.
Foiling Week's Responsibility
Following the success of the Foiling Week Newport, USA in 2016, the first forum outside of Garda, the event not only expanded to other nations, the 2017 event on that natural playground in central Italy pushed the boundaries of innovative forums into the social responsibility realm.
Though Foiling Week is not an authoritative organization, its participants are a community of new authorities on this burgeoning area of innovation. And, as the most diverse, intelligent and creative individuals in sailing, they have a resulting camaraderie and drive to improve the sport and the world through their abilities.
Core values for Foiling Week were established in 2017 after the successes of the Safety Forum in Newport. Safety, accessibility and sustainability were each given a day at this year's Garda event.
As the sun warmed the cliffs, before the clockwork thermal breeze drifted in, the sports' and industry's top minds dug deep into these topics with an engaged audience. Olympic gold medalist Jo Aleh and Moth sailor Josie Gliddon, both representing the Magenta Project, lead the accessibility forum by tackling the gender issues faced with women in professional sailing. Gliddon was able to condense the concept that hydrofoiling across the range of sailing craft in the sport increases access to women. In short, with reduced loads, requiring less brute force and more technique-based skills, foiling should open doors for women. But she is quick to point out that the sailing culture lags behind these innovations and some doors are still closed.
Josie Gliddon: "To continue to talk about accessibility for all in our sport allows us to address the equality and diversity challenges we face not just for men and women. We are extremely fortunate to be in a sport where boats can be designed and adapted and I think that we can go much further in this area. Even just small changes can make a difference – putting in extra purchases / ratchet blocks or having extra people on board results in strength and psychical size becoming less of a dominant feature that in turn opens up more opportunities to more people. That can only be a good thing."
The same forum announced design efforts to allow disabled sailors to foil and gain instruction with a Paralympic champion on hand to lend insight. Legions of tiny boys and girls also donned helmets and life jackets to safely explore this third dimension of sailing.
Sustainability, that mystical term that covers everything we need to do to save the planet, is a value Foiling Week has brought to a tangible concept. Right off the bat, the Garda event offered entry discounts to presenters and participants who carpooled to the lake. Collaborations that highlighted the outrageous inefficiencies in the use of motorboats to run regattas have led to concepts that include automated, solar-powered mark set drones.
As for safety, the Newport forum produced a collection of sailors and race management officials from around the world who, independently, had been creating race management tools and instructional interactive videos to address the growing issues that arise from boats going three- to four-times the speed of previous race craft.
The forums now spread around the world have become synergistic moments for the greatest brains in sailing to connect and collaborate on technical and social levels. But Foiling Week has tapped into the child-like excitement these and other participants have regarding exploring and experimenting on the sea with wind and craft.
The most advanced classes in the world are attracted to each Foiling Week venue to host championships and share their progressive crafts with the world. Beyond top designers and engineers, the elite sailors of the world place Foiling Week at the top of their event wish list each year.
Glen Ashby: "For me, to walk around the boat park is absolutely fantastic.
There are so many clever people that have worked on a lot of different foiling boats and apparatus over the last few years.
For everyone to be able to walk around, share information openly and look at all the different concepts that have been built is absolutely wonderful."
Francois Gabart: "I think it is just perfect, the Foiling Week, because there is a lot happening now in the foiling world.
It's good to mix all together."
Beyond Sailing
One would think that foiling is now established and that there is a plateau, apres' 2017 America's Cup, in innovation with these technologies slowing influencing recreational sailing and speeds steadying out for the professional foiling craft. But the Foiling Week has matured, and its free thinking drive for pure innovation is expanding.
Paul Larsen, one of the fastest sailors in the world having set the outright world speed record aboard Vestas SailRocket, gave Foiling Week a taste of the direction foiling can take the world. A privately funded design challenge has Larson developing a 100-foot transatlantic passenger ship that is a hybrid power/sail. "one idea is to take paying passengers across the ocean in luxury as fast as the Ultime trimaran Banque Populaire," says Larsen.
This unique project has been combining a fabulous collection of old and new ideas. A Polynesian "proa" style set of hulls means the ship can only sail on one tack and must "shunt" to change tacks.
These fascinating terms tied to the dawn of navigation and civilization were linked by Larsen to the futuristic concept of "energy farming." Larson says battery banks store energy generated by hydrogeneretors while the wing sailed craft reaches across through the depressions of the Atlantic then uses this stored energy to power the low-drag hulls through the glass of high pressure systems. The same ship is envisioned to double as transport for commerce, similar to cruise ships efficient use of their holds as dry docks to transport yachts across oceans.
New Ground
Now, how does the rest of the world learn about what these innovators and collaborators are working on? The Foiling Week! And although this forum has been expanding, a primary aim of the organizers is to push the boundaries of online communication by making all presentations live and archived on as many media platforms as possible. Virtual reality and interactive experiences are also imperative.
Creating more and varied partnerships into the varied spaces outside the marine industry is also a must for Foiling Week to achieve its lofty goals of connecting more spaces and innovators. BMW, Slam, Gurit, Persico Marine, Marlow, Torqeedo and Ingemar have all been rightfully supportive of getting innovators together.
The efficiencies developed by the Foiling Week community fit flawlessly with the direction innovators want to take the world. Individuals like Paul Larsen, Jo Aleh and Jossie Gliddon see an endless horizon of possibilities. So does the Foiling Week.
Emirates Team NZ gets shipshape at McDougall + McConaghy 2015 Moth Worlds
Posted in TFW's news on January 14, 2015 by Foiling Week.
Some of the biggest names in America's Cup sailing are here at the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 Moth Worlds, honing their skills, team bonding and generally coming to grips with the exciting foiling Moth. America's Cup team Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) is no exception.
Dean Barker, Ray Davies, Glenn Ashby are experienced AC team members. The 2012 Olympic 49er silver medallists Peter Burling and Blair Tuke were added to the Team this time last year, their talent and flare an obvious asset, highlighted by Burling leading these Worlds by a large margin heading into tomorrow's racing.
"We're sailing against our crew mates from other classes, Olympic team mates and mates in the other America's Cup Syndicates (Oracle Team USA, Artemis Racing and Luna Rossa)," Ashby, a sailmaker points out.
"It's every man for himself, but once we're ashore there's lots of friendly banter and laughter," says wing trimmer Ashby, who was head coach with Oracle's 90ft trimaran for their 33rd America's Cup win.
The Victorian-based sailor has more multihull world, national and state titles as a skipper than you can count on your fingers and toes. And he is a Tornado Olympic silver medallist from the 2000 Games with skipper Darren Bundock.
The whole idea of being at the McDougall + McConaghy Moth Worlds, Ashby says, "came from us (ETNZ) doing the A-Class Worlds last year in Takapuna, New Zealand, where Ashby won his eighth consecutive A-Class world title. Notably, Tuke and Burling were second and third respectively. Ray Davies was fifth. All were sailing foiling A-Cats.
"It's good for team bonding, morale and developing as a group. It helps us technically too. The Moth is a step up. It's a very technical boat," Ashby says.
Explaining the principle of foiling in simple terms, Ashby says, "It's like a plane, which needs air under its wings to lift off. With the Moth, it's water flow that gets us up and foiling."
The 37 year-old says the entire ETNZ team sails various classes. "You definitely have to sail as much as you can, because the America's Cup game has changed vastly over the last two Cups. The Moth goes hand-in-hand with the America's Cup.
While guys like Davies, Barker and Ashby are the experience of their AC team, Ashby says it's great to have the young blood of Burling and Tuke.
"It's fantastic having the young 49er guys (Burling is 23 and Tuke 25). We're the experience and they bring a new perspective, dynamics, new skills and passion," say Ashby, who has his team members and their families staying at his and his extended family's homes. "The plan is to fast track to our experience level."
On Oracle Team USA beating them in one of the biggest sporting comebacks of all time, when down 1-8 to ETNZ and winning eight races on the trot, Ashby said: "I don't think we'll ever get over it, but time heals."
What brought them undone to an extent were the lay days. "We were in full maintenance mode during the lay days. They learned to sail their boat faster in that time. We didn't get any worse, they just got better. They did a fantastic job. Every delay seemed to play into their hands. We nearly had it, until a race we were leading to win was abandoned that day.
"Losing was brutal and the people of New Zealand were brutal. When they love you and what you are doing, they really love you. But when things go wrong, well, they are brutal.
"But it's still the best sailing I've ever done in my life. It was an amazing journey. We set the bar early on and kept it going. Not being able to finish it off was soul destroying," Ashby openly admits.
"I take my hat off to the designers and engineers on both teams. They were impressive."
Ashby says they are now looking forward to the next Cup. "Dalts (Grant Dalton) is still running the show. He's a good leader and operator in every respect. He's the guy who has to make the hard decisions, and he does because he is so passionate about the sport".
So here they are at the McDougall + McConaghy 2015 International Moth World Championship and doing well. Burling is leading by 11 points with two days of racing left. Tuke is 13th, Ashby 15th, Davies 21st and Barker 29th.
"I hope I can move up the standings a bit. My boat got smashed into in one race, which left me out of the next. We'll see…," Ashby ends.
